[0:00] hey everyone so there's a bunch of clips
[0:02] from throughout my day from like the
[0:03] last six hours as I was getting
[0:05] organized in here I made a lot of
[0:07] progress I share kind of my process um
[0:11] and I think it might be helpful to some
[0:13] people I remember when I was thinking
[0:16] about doing this I watched some YouTube
[0:18] stuff on getting organized and well not
[0:20] really that but just I watch watch
[0:23] YouTubers and I you know I just was
[0:25] looking at their campers and how they
[0:27] set things up I think I got a few ideas
[0:29] from them
[0:31] the main one being Carolyn had this
[0:32] thing on her ceiling that she was
[0:34] putting bags in which is where I got the
[0:37] idea for this
[0:39] thing um probably learned about Command
[0:42] hooks that way too you know
[0:44] and so yeah hopefully this helps
[0:46] somebody for those of you interested in
[0:49] my life thank you and you know I know
[0:52] you'll enjoy it got my dishes done I
[0:55] hate doing dishes here because I don't
[0:57] know my tank levels I got a question for
[0:59] you
[1:01] guys chat
[1:03] GPT has giving me conflicting answers on
[1:05] this and I just don't know what to do so
[1:08] when I used this convection
[1:10] oven told me I supposed to take this out
[1:16] right and this
[1:20] says for microwave oven
[1:23] only
[1:25] right but if I cook in here this thing
[1:28] it turns it's always turning even in the
[1:31] as a convection of
[1:34] it and I checked the
[1:36] manual um so whoever owned this thing he
[1:40] kept every manual there was like that
[1:41] was awesome I think it's supposed to be
[1:43] in there just not sure so I don't know
[1:47] and this is supposedly oven
[1:50] safe um I think chat TBT said these are
[1:53] silicone and so it gives you two
[1:55] different levels when cooking and I
[1:58] think that all of that just stays in the
[1:59] microwave but I just I need to be
[2:02] sure I mean just look how random my
[2:05] stuff is just came across this I was
[2:09] trying to figure out how much is in it
[2:12] or how big it is and took me a while
[2:14] it's 2
[2:16] terabytes um if you get older you really
[2:19] do stop being able to see small print
[2:21] and let me tell you something that is
[2:23] the most depressing thing ever
[2:25] because it's is telling you you're
[2:27] getting older whether you like it or not
[2:29] you're body is
[2:30] changing you just have to accept it it's
[2:34] ridiculous want to see if this will work
[2:36] with my tablet plugged it in you know
[2:39] with USBC but there you can see there's
[2:41] a power um adapter for it it was making
[2:45] weird noises it wasn't working and then
[2:47] I saw it needs a power adapter so I'm
[2:49] trying to find that got to be here
[2:52] somewhere that's why I've had so much
[2:54] trouble getting organized it's just like
[2:57] my things need to be logical like they
[3:00] just these bags are meant to be very
[3:04] logical this bag here all tape and that
[3:07] can go in my storage thing with the um
[3:11] inside the blue bags keep them
[3:13] waterproof keep things out of them all
[3:15] that um but I did notice you know
[3:18] there's like a lot of humidity outside
[3:19] so you got to be careful what you put in
[3:21] your storage
[3:22] base like um I'm not sure like really
[3:28] what should or should not be out there
[3:30] so I'm kind of being cautious about I
[3:31] pretty much have everything in here
[3:33] right
[3:34] now
[3:36] so I don't remember this Blu-ray player
[3:39] having a power adapter I have a bunch
[3:40] and I don't know what they're for but I
[3:42] know that if I have it here I probably
[3:44] have the thing it goes
[3:46] to
[3:48] so yeah other thing I wanted to show you
[3:52] guys so when before I moved into this
[3:57] camper um I was trying to I was bored so
[4:01] I was trying all kinds of ways to
[4:03] alleviate boredom and you know so I took
[4:06] up that booknook and um just random
[4:10] things I just tried a bunch of random
[4:11] things I bought a rice cooker I you know
[4:13] just another one was making
[4:16] bracelets never I haven't finished a
[4:18] bracelet yet oh come
[4:21] on there we go um I'm supposed to finish
[4:26] this one for my
[4:27] mom um it's real Tangled I'm going to
[4:29] have to untangle all this and I think I
[4:31] was experimenting with this
[4:33] one hold on got to click on the screen
[4:35] to make it know what you're looking at I
[4:37] guess you can see here I was
[4:41] experimenting cuz this is one thing I
[4:45] think um but these colors matched my
[4:48] watch I have a Samsung watch I don't
[4:49] wear it often but when I do this match I
[4:52] just wanted it to match but yeah took up
[4:56] trying to make
[4:58] bracelets what's that thing could stay
[5:00] focused I have an entire bag in my
[5:02] storage space right now full of um that
[5:06] thread um I used to love doing that when
[5:09] I was a kid I'm going to share something
[5:10] about myself
[5:12] that I I don't even know I'm not even
[5:15] going to try to just
[5:17] um um what is the word I'm looking for
[5:20] here well all right
[5:23] so I stole a bunch of it from Myers one
[5:26] time I think it was a Myers and or a
[5:29] Walmart I don't remember I was like I
[5:31] was 19 years old I do remember that and
[5:33] I got caught and the guy was like every
[5:36] single one of these that you you took
[5:38] it's a separate charge there were like
[5:41] there were so many God did that guy
[5:44] scare the crap out of me yeah you do
[5:47] stupid stuff when you're young even when
[5:49] you are you know generally ethical and
[5:54] just
[5:56] um yeah I don't mind sharing that so I I
[5:59] have a label maker here somewhere just
[6:02] saw it too I'm thinking I need to just
[6:06] use that
[6:07] thing where did it go anyways I just
[6:11] need to use that thing to label all of
[6:13] these adapters so I remember what
[6:15] they're for none of these seem like they
[6:17] go to the Blu-ray
[6:19] player I'm not sure that it really needs
[6:21] one I mean I should plug it up to my
[6:23] laptop or my desktop and find
[6:26] out but if there is one I know this is
[6:29] not it that goes to a hard
[6:33] drive you know I don't understand
[6:36] electricity it's really I do not found
[6:39] it and oh yeah it needs power also and I
[6:43] do not
[6:44] remember I think it might be white
[6:46] though
[6:47] so see if this works yes I think this
[6:50] might be
[6:52] it so I can use
[6:55] this to label
[6:57] everything so I knew about those plugs
[7:00] right away it took me a full month
[7:02] before I realized there was one there
[7:03] too which I thought oh cool mey has been
[7:08] wanting out for hours hours mey just
[7:12] relax man you got classical music going
[7:17] just
[7:18] chill okay I'm wrong that adapter is
[7:20] that's the wrong one it's not turning
[7:23] on turn
[7:25] on you fit in there see I don't
[7:29] understand stand electricity why would
[7:30] that fit if it won't work with it don't
[7:33] get
[7:34] that you know what I think it's this one
[7:37] I think it had a light on
[7:42] it
[7:44] maybe all right B I'm always aware of
[7:49] you going to fit into this little hole
[7:52] let just find out I bet you do yeah
[7:57] [Music]
[8:00] are you functional
[8:01] now yes we have
[8:05] power Better Label that one huh okay
[8:08] let's see if this is too
[8:13] long I love this
[8:16] thing that's awfully big print
[8:19] wow that too
[8:21] big well that would fit there if I cut
[8:24] it sorry guys I'll get better at this
[8:27] sharing my life with you in every detail
[8:31] I do want that to be
[8:34] smaller
[8:37] font so this way for
[8:41] size kind of intuitive there we go like
[8:46] that very
[8:53] intuitive much
[8:55] better they don't have to be big okay
[8:59] maybe one of you can tell me why they do
[9:01] this I cuz I hate this it just makes it
[9:04] harder like why do they split it into
[9:06] two like this it's upside down on
[9:09] purpose I thought it had you know that's
[9:10] the correct orientation when that
[9:12] thing's not plugged in I mean it is
[9:13] plugged upside down right see totally
[9:16] worth labeling because I thought it was
[9:18] this one at first then I was like you
[9:20] know what a lot of power goes through
[9:22] that thing it must have there's no way
[9:24] that that was generating that much power
[9:27] so I went looking for another one I
[9:28] think it's this one
[9:31] look what I found I can play my
[9:33] PlayStation
[9:35] VA
[9:37] yay in a
[9:40] while that there is my great-grandfather
[9:42] I never met him he's from what I can
[9:46] tell he was very interesting obviously
[9:48] liked fish uh he did some painting I
[9:50] used to have a painting of
[9:52] his and heuse my namesake for my middle
[9:55] name
[9:57] Sam I like having that picture now kind
[10:01] of an interesting idea when that picture
[10:03] was taken there was no
[10:05] internet but he could have never
[10:07] imagined that one day that picture would
[10:09] end up on the Internet kind of cool I
[10:12] found another white one and this one
[10:15] fit so this must go to something
[10:18] else it's going to take me a while to
[10:20] figure all this out
[10:23] man actually I never keep these things
[10:27] ever I have my own that I use use they
[10:30] look like this actually I have hundreds
[10:33] of
[10:34] them so this has never even been used it
[10:37] goes to something else it has
[10:40] to wonder what this is
[10:43] for wish it was more oh it says go on it
[10:47] okay all right so that is you know
[10:51] related to my light somehow at least
[10:53] that one was labeled and look at this
[10:55] thing this is something that needs like
[10:58] use a series
[10:59] power so it can't be my
[11:02] Blu-ray but I am not finding it I have
[11:06] tried all kinds yeah that was not going
[11:08] to
[11:10] thing but you can see how I you know
[11:13] keep them organized which means this has
[11:14] been used before just don't know what
[11:16] it's for and that there is an old steam
[11:19] link and there was no way I'm thrown
[11:21] that away they don't even make them
[11:23] anymore they did the same thing with
[11:25] their controller mine the batteries were
[11:27] left in it for too long and it got
[11:29] corroded so no steam controller I've
[11:32] been sad about that for years bitter
[11:35] about it we're going to give these
[11:37] little command Clips to try and see if
[11:39] they will keep this up of course once
[11:41] you start putting stuff in it and you
[11:43] increase the weight this scared me it
[11:46] fell down with nothing in it but I
[11:47] didn't use very good hooks
[11:49] so hopefully it will stay there's lots
[11:52] of little things I just need space
[11:55] for I just realized this is going to be
[11:59] the orientation is wrong oh well I am
[12:03] holding this camera sideways like I'm
[12:06] supposed to I can tell by the way the
[12:09] the screen looks
[12:11] um the HUD what it's telling
[12:14] me least I know that now took two and a
[12:17] half months so if you're ever wondering
[12:20] why I keep sharing that comment it's
[12:23] because in my very it's from my very
[12:25] first video that guy left that comment
[12:28] on my very first video and I just
[12:30] thought it was rude like it's obviously
[12:35] um you
[12:37] know trollish right and you
[12:41] shouldn't um I just I like the idea I I
[12:46] think it was trolling back because very
[12:48] first video really that's the comment
[12:49] you're going to leave me you know guy
[12:52] just starting out on YouTube and yeah no
[12:56] so that's why he keep seeing it in my
[12:58] videos I will do it forever so I'm
[13:01] making the guy famous so if you're
[13:03] wondering why I'm listening to classical
[13:05] music been doing it for like the last 3
[13:08] or 4 days I feel like it's the only
[13:11] thing that I
[13:12] can tolerate like I
[13:17] feel I'm still adjusting this lifestyle
[13:20] like my emotions are
[13:22] just not in a state where I feel like I
[13:25] can handle much else so I just feel like
[13:27] this is calming
[13:30] and the first couple days was making me
[13:33] sad but that's cuz I was grieving and I
[13:34] didn't know what I was grieving now it's
[13:36] just
[13:37] like
[13:40] just nice background noise I guess you
[13:44] know what I'm just going to share this
[13:45] with you last night I was looking at my
[13:47] analytics one of the top key words for
[13:49] finding me is pee because of that one
[13:52] video I did where I drained my tanks I
[13:54] just thought that was so funny look at
[13:56] that an old memory card from I used to
[14:00] have a Sony um Cyber Shot I love that
[14:04] thing this new camera is different it's
[14:05] way more advanced I'll show it to you
[14:06] guys later trying to pull this out with
[14:09] one hand see how big it
[14:14] is 4 gab that is not a lot in today's
[14:18] standards but it's something I'll be
[14:20] able to try it out kept it cuz I'm
[14:23] curious if there's anything on it
[14:26] that you know I wonder what's on it so
[14:29] some good news looks like my laptop's
[14:31] okay this my first
[14:33] time powering it up
[14:37] since you know since I moved and
[14:39] something dented the lid which that
[14:42] sucks yeah my Blu-ray player is working
[14:44] on it there's one thing you you might
[14:46] not know this I didn't know this but if
[14:49] you have
[14:50] a um a 4K disc cannot play those on
[14:55] Windows anymore it has to do well it
[14:57] depends on your chipset but
[14:59] this is a normal Blu-ray though yeah
[15:01] because I just yeah it should be working
[15:04] I just got to figure out what software
[15:05] to use I don't know what's on this
[15:06] laptop anymore it's been a
[15:09] while so
[15:11] yeah um it doesn't need a power adapter
[15:14] and I don't think I ever even really had
[15:16] one so I guess it just doesn't work on
[15:19] tablets which is you know that's not too
[15:22] surprising you can see the dent there
[15:25] I'm so upset about it this is a very
[15:27] expensive laptop you
[15:30] honestly it's the best laptop you can
[15:32] buy like cuz I have fully upgraded this
[15:35] thing um I have never been the type to
[15:38] put stickers on my laptops I just think
[15:40] why why take something that's already a
[15:44] work of art and you know vandalize it
[15:50] but now mine has a dent I guess it gives
[15:52] it character I don't want to put
[15:54] stickers on this
[15:55] thing this here will let you read just
[15:59] about any type of drive that's out there
[16:01] that's why I got
[16:02] it um I have another one too that's for
[16:06] well this one will let you read kind of
[16:08] the older
[16:09] style you know not the ssds of um with
[16:14] chipsets in
[16:15] them but I do have a thing here it is
[16:19] that's what this is for so those should
[16:22] be together this is kind of how you
[16:24] organize I've got little drives
[16:25] everywhere and used to have a whole
[16:28] bunch of big ones ones I think I think
[16:31] my mom might have those stored for me I
[16:33] don't
[16:34] know but you know this reads these
[16:37] kinds there shouldn't be anything on it
[16:40] if I if I take something out of a
[16:43] computer or something I do format it
[16:46] with very sophisticated formatting
[16:49] software being a programmer and being of
[16:52] a certain age and all of that like you
[16:55] just um you grew up at a time when
[17:00] well you know haer culture I guess so
[17:04] this is what organizing looks like I
[17:06] mean those this is my office stuff
[17:09] basically these are for these right here
[17:13] and then you know these right here so I
[17:15] can take these out of the ziplock bag so
[17:18] it's like a step in getting organized
[17:20] cuz this this basket here will need to
[17:22] be organized
[17:23] itself we're definitely making progress
[17:26] in here I was feel installed for a while
[17:29] there but I just kept plucking away and
[17:31] it's actually working so that's stuff
[17:34] that needs to go outside um go back into
[17:37] the proper tool boxes stuff like that
[17:40] all art supplies all of that so I'm
[17:42] going to try to figure that out
[17:46] office still disorganize that one
[17:49] nothing particularly important over here
[17:51] I'll deal with
[17:52] it um you know there's there's stuff all
[17:57] over the desk I'm I'm getting
[18:00] there this is just I don't know if I
[18:03] want to use these or not i' I've been
[18:05] holding on to them just in
[18:08] case there's nothing particularly
[18:10] special
[18:11] here um all all blank paper pretty
[18:17] much and just you know basic things been
[18:21] sorting
[18:22] through I did bring on my game maps if
[18:25] you had a very early video of mine where
[18:27] you can see me
[18:29] having a pro like needing those while I
[18:33] was trying to get rid of stuff I was
[18:34] like those have to
[18:35] come over here is a tiny
[18:40] mess really don't
[18:42] mind um pretty much those are clean
[18:44] clothes uh I just don't know where to
[18:46] put my towels yet so I'm working on that
[18:49] you know I have two bottles of alcohol
[18:51] that I basically never drink I I go
[18:53] years without
[18:54] drinking um but they were in my house
[18:57] and I just didn't want to throw them
[18:58] away
[19:00] so we're getting there
[19:05] popsicle so I don't know how it started
[19:08] I guess maybe my mom was licking a
[19:09] popsicle one day yeah Bailey decided to
[19:12] start licking it and ever since then the
[19:15] two of them have been sharing
[19:17] these I don't particularly like like it
[19:22] because you know it's
[19:24] sugar but this cat is deprived of so
[19:27] many things he's d distracted from the
[19:30] rain um he's been deprived so much cuz
[19:33] he will not eat wet food all he has is
[19:35] dry food fish flakes and cat
[19:38] treats
[19:40] so I am not denying him this even though
[19:43] I know it's not healthy for
[19:47] him he loves us so much
[19:50] that you can't deny him
[19:54] this is that good Bailey am I holding it
[19:56] good for you usually my mom does
[20:01] this what is your preferred
[20:05] angle you will Li at this thing all the
[20:08] ice off of
[20:12] it let we get this ice
[20:16] here um I brought them from my mom's
[20:19] house yesterday and we just put it in a
[20:22] garbage bag um not a garbage bag but
[20:24] shopping bag with some ice and they did
[20:28] start to melt
[20:31] so this one seem more intact than some
[20:33] of the
[20:36] others he's got favorite colors I can't
[20:39] remember what they are though I think it
[20:40] might be
[20:44] blue and white I think he likes white a
[20:50] lot and he only likes certain popsicles
[20:52] you can't just give them any kind they
[20:54] have to be very
[20:57] specific and they're kind of kind of
[20:58] hard to find my mom sometimes would go
[21:01] to multiple Kroger trying to find them
[21:03] they're a store brand I know that
[21:07] much you try to give them a different
[21:09] kind of popsicle you don't want it this
[21:11] cat is the most I mean cats are picky
[21:13] but this
[21:15] one he's going to put a dent in this
[21:17] thing he won't eat the whole
[21:20] thing he just got to be patient and let
[21:23] him do a
[21:26] thing give him a sugar eye I guess
[21:35] and yes bar to me is always thinking how
[21:38] unhealthy this is because sugar is not
[21:40] good for
[21:45] you but I will deny this cat nothing not
[21:49] when he's deprived so much he doesn't
[21:52] even know
[21:54] it no human food no wet food for cats
[21:59] just dry food his whole
[22:05] life kind of concerned it might be aging
[22:08] him too fast
[22:10] because I'm worried about him this is
[22:13] not a cat that ever
[22:18] slept and he's sleeping a lot more now
[22:21] he's 6 years
[22:26] old ol is a year older than than him and
[22:29] he's super active
[22:31] so just I'm concerned we're going to
[22:34] find out if there's a reason to be
[22:40] soon is that enough
[22:48] Bailey maybe I should count the lick
[22:52] sometime cuz it seems like there's a lot
[22:55] of
[22:56] them oh you do love these don't
[23:00] you how could you be denied
[23:04] these you're a good cat you are loved so
[23:09] much do you feel like we're
[23:13] reconnecting just me and him he changes
[23:18] things he's some wonderful beautiful
[23:20] awesome animal yes my
[23:25] companion you going
[23:46] yep he likes the little ice
[23:55] crystals think that's enough popsicle
[23:57] for today Bailey
[24:08] my mom would just sit here with them and
[24:10] let him do his
[24:14] thing we
[24:16] had we had a wonderful life at my
[24:19] house it
[24:22] just unfortunately it wasn't enough for
[24:26] me there were were problems
[24:30] like the Neighbors being too close the
[24:33] dogs constantly barking at me so I
[24:35] couldn't get any Solus in my own
[24:38] backyard you know I
[24:42] just I felt trapped
[24:46] there I I
[24:49] tried couldn't make it
[24:52] work all right baby that's enough okay
[24:58] I mean this is all he eats that is it so
[25:02] I'm planning to keep this space here
[25:04] open I want to put on my baskets over
[25:07] here on this side I'm starting to do
[25:10] that you know all my cables that's the
[25:13] office stuff under that just
[25:17] paper um when you bring the slide
[25:20] in it depends like it comes in pretty
[25:23] far maybe I think you're can have two of
[25:25] these so they can be stacked up but this
[25:27] area here which would have to be clear
[25:29] and this is what I'm going to work on
[25:30] next I'm going to make it so my um my
[25:33] surge protector is is up there and
[25:37] secured there using brro and just get
[25:40] this this spot organized over
[25:43] here yeah and then I think I mean we are
[25:46] so
[25:47] close before I get my power supply up
[25:51] there whatever you call that thing just
[25:54] want to show you guys this I noticed
[25:55] this um some time back
[25:58] doesn't look right to
[26:00] me but there's no screws in it like this
[26:04] so I don't think it was meant to be in
[26:05] the wall but you know that's a
[26:08] slide I don't know what that is I've
[26:11] been disinfecting
[26:13] this I guess glue I don't know this is
[26:16] just the quality that they put into
[26:18] building these things and don't know if
[26:21] I should have like a mobile tech look at
[26:23] this or what look at that you can see
[26:26] right outside I would not have been able
[26:27] to see that on my
[26:29] camera I obviously need to seal
[26:33] that
[26:37] wow this is under the
[26:39] bed you know I do have I'll show you for
[26:43] a while I was putting those under the
[26:45] bed and you know the side and stuff like
[26:47] that it definitely helps I just haven't
[26:49] been doing it
[26:50] lately I suppose it's more important
[26:53] than ever to have that area clear
[26:55] because that's where the mattress will
[26:56] have to go before I bring in the the
[26:58] side
[26:59] now um just in case you guys are
[27:01] wondering those are they're called urine
[27:04] bags and I learned about
[27:07] it I learned about it from a YouTube
[27:10] video and at first it was kind of a joke
[27:12] that I got them but I was thinking about
[27:14] my drive to um Phoenix 2,000 mi in my
[27:18] Jeep and how often I just had to be it
[27:21] was
[27:22] like um maybe those things would have
[27:25] been useful I decided to get them and
[27:27] then I thought you know what it was it
[27:29] was kind of a gag thing but then I
[27:31] thought what if there's a time something
[27:33] breaks down on the RV and I actually
[27:35] can't like maybe there's something wrong
[27:37] with the plumbing or something just I
[27:40] like being
[27:41] prepared there's that set up and this
[27:44] will never be in the way of the slide so
[27:46] all
[27:48] good um and there's more I can do um
[27:51] I'll explain that a little bit later but
[27:53] I wanted to show you
[27:54] this nothing in an RV is grounded
[27:59] nothing and I learned that from these
[28:02] every plug I put them into nothing's
[28:05] grounded okay that's out of the way now
[28:08] too that won't hit the side
[28:11] mechanism don't think unless this part
[28:13] comes
[28:16] in I don't think it does cuz this wire
[28:19] here so I don't think this
[28:22] moves but there there's more I can
[28:26] do um I I
[28:29] have um I have some other things that I
[28:32] use with for my cable management that's
[28:34] what I was starting to say earlier that
[28:37] I can use if I need to oh don't dare
[28:40] come down I used industrial strength
[28:42] Velcro on
[28:46] you well I might have to use more I
[28:49] there's some stuff it has um events
[28:53] behind it so I was careful not to use a
[28:55] lot I avoided all of that
[28:59] if I have to I will figure out something
[29:01] else but I want that there I think that
[29:03] is where that should
[29:05] be so this goes to that light switch
[29:09] which controls
[29:18] these um I do
[29:21] think you can just go under
[29:24] this I will check on that you know when
[29:27] I bring the SL
[29:29] in a all right I'm going to have to work
[29:32] on
[29:33] that but I think this will probably be
[29:36] okay cuz there's a wire there and that
[29:38] wire can't move
[29:40] so
[29:43] um yeah I think we're avoiding anything
[29:47] here I will definitely secure that
[29:52] better I can I am really surprised that
[29:55] didn't work says IND Cal strength of
[29:58] vcro and it did not
[30:01] stick guess we'll give that a
[30:04] try so because I plan to use my laptop
[30:07] mostly for on my bed I was thinking I
[30:09] would plug it in here in the back
[30:16] corner this a little bit of a difficult
[30:20] from this angle to
[30:23] see I'm trying to use the camera do that
[30:26] a lot and then I'll just tighten this
[30:29] one
[30:30] up um and if I have to I can unplug it
[30:34] from
[30:35] here because I have a couple cables like
[30:38] that and I can take this part if I
[30:39] wanted to take my laptop somewhere
[30:42] else to keep
[30:45] um the power supply away from the slide
[30:48] I'll just put that down there
[30:50] right and so I'm snaking this wire
[30:55] underneath any other wires then
[30:57] underneath this
[30:59] one and then I'll tie it up nice and
[31:04] tight so that should do it
[31:09] um tight let me see sometimes you got to
[31:13] feel with your
[31:15] hands that's
[31:19] backwards hold on let me
[31:23] see that's backwards
[31:28] all right green
[31:32] light
[31:34] so I might do a little bit of Cu
[31:37] management over here just to keep
[31:39] everything real
[31:41] tight um actually this is backwards too
[31:46] because this cable shouldn't be coming
[31:49] around that
[31:51] one so we'll fix that
[31:58] it's very dark over
[32:01] here okay that will
[32:05] keep well H I'm un sure
[32:09] now might have wanted that on the other
[32:12] side cuz yeah if I move this cable
[32:16] around I'm not sure I'll experiment with
[32:19] that see how it goes so far so good I
[32:22] guess I didn't like that white surface I
[32:24] wonder why I cleaned it
[32:28] I don't get it very
[32:32] strange so this um cable is for my strip
[32:36] lights that run around it's a little bit
[32:39] cumbersome and not perfect
[32:42] so still not sure what to do about it
[32:45] cuz I can't really access you know this
[32:48] but I use my phone most of the time when
[32:49] I want to do something with the lights
[32:53] don't like that
[32:55] though wonder if there's anything I
[32:57] could do
[33:00] some kind of like super small extension
[33:02] cord or something I don't know if you
[33:05] guys have any thoughts on that let me
[33:06] know please and then that
[33:09] leaves the cable for my light on the
[33:12] side which that one's kind of I keep
[33:14] debating whether I even want to keep it
[33:16] or not
[33:17] so I'm trying to keep I really want
[33:20] these cables out of the way and not
[33:22] being a problem and this feels like a
[33:25] problem
[33:28] but that leaves plenty of you know plugs
[33:30] back here for you know normal plug sizes
[33:33] but now I'm out of the big
[33:34] ones and there are two little USB ports
[33:37] there and I use them like for my fans I
[33:39] have a hook right there in the corner
[33:42] for a
[33:43] fan um sometimes I just you know
[33:45] whatever just something hit a little
[33:46] charging port it's not a great one
[33:48] though I mean um they're much faster now
[33:52] you know a few there are faster ones now
[33:55] than those and this basically it for
[33:57] this area
[34:00] though um I don't see any problems with
[34:02] the slide or anything like that it's
[34:04] just you know I have to move these
[34:05] around
[34:07] sometimes you can have one here and I
[34:09] think it makes sense to have my cables
[34:11] there and it could fit up
[34:14] to um you can stack these up as high as
[34:17] you want you shouldn't have a problem
[34:18] with that I could have put one there if
[34:20] I didn't put the light
[34:22] there so I'll I'll go that later but by
[34:26] the way guys this is from when I was a
[34:28] boy scout and I hiked the Superstition
[34:31] Mountains we hiked a lot of it and um I
[34:36] took these off the backpack I had I kept
[34:38] that backpack all my life and when I
[34:40] moved into the sarv you that was for a
[34:42] kid you know it didn't fit
[34:44] me so um I asked my mom to take those
[34:47] off for me just don't know what to sow
[34:49] them on to yet it's amazing how much
[34:51] progress there's
[34:52] been it was
[34:55] feeling a little overwhelming for a
[34:57] minute cuz it was like I had done a
[34:59] bunch of stuff and I was like now what
[35:00] do I do I don't know somehow I figured
[35:03] it out I guess I'll show you I mean
[35:06] there's that's just papers you know maps
[35:09] and little tiny books I'll put I'll put
[35:10] that over in the corner so I got to deal
[35:12] with the clothes there's not a whole lot
[35:15] here to be dealt
[35:16] with um and then I've just got my you
[35:20] know that's all art stuff that's going
[35:23] outside and I still have to deal with
[35:25] the desk but that's it I mean I'm
[35:27] basically
[35:28] almost organized also I'd gotten all the
[35:31] dishes cleaned and you know there's
[35:33] stuff up there now but not a lot I'm
[35:35] trying to figure out what to do with
[35:37] like that kind of the paper plates and
[35:39] things cuz I'm trying to put all my pots
[35:41] and stuff in here I mean it's basically
[35:43] empty now but it won't be I don't think
[35:45] my rice cooker might go in there I don't
[35:47] know um cuz you know I'm still I'm just
[35:50] working on how to get organized kitchen
[35:52] wise cuz that's what all those areas I
[35:55] just showed you are for my mom gave me
[35:57] that a long time ago the whoops and
[35:58] Daisy
[35:59] thing where would whoops be without
[36:02] Daisy to lean on probably standing on
[36:04] his own for feet my grandma gave that to
[36:06] my mom she gave it to me she passed it
[36:09] down it was her way of saying that I'm
[36:12] stronger than I think I am that's from
[36:15] it's called princess house it's from a
[36:17] collection that I've had most in my life
[36:20] but those are the only things that are
[36:21] left the salt and pepper shaker I'm
[36:22] going to use them cuz they're reminders
[36:24] of my mom she sold that stuff for a
[36:26] while she used to party L things like
[36:28] that
[36:30] and well I had quite a lot of that stuff
[36:34] for 20 30
[36:37] years so they're reminders and if you
[36:40] get this far into my video you'll know
[36:42] when you see me using them I've been at
[36:44] this for about six hours now so I'm just
[36:46] going to rest for a bit and I'll keep at
[36:50] it but there's not a lot I
[36:52] figure once I once I'm done then I'm do
[36:55] a proper tour of this place so I'm just
[36:57] going to end the video here and um maybe
[37:00] tomorrow or something cuz it's not going
[37:01] to take much more effort I'll do that I
[37:05] hope you guys have a good day

Narrative

Rain came down outside the camper and classical music ran underneath everything, the way it had for three or four days now. rswfire had the camera going in pieces — clips caught between tasks rather than a single continuous take — and the day's work was already several hours old when he started narrating it. The dishes were done. He had hated doing them, not from the labor but from not knowing his tank levels, a number the system had not yet made legible to him. He described watching other YouTubers before the move, studying their campers, and how one of them, Carolyn, had rigged a sling to her ceiling for bags. That was where the ceiling sling came from. Command hooks, too, probably. He said he hoped the process would help someone.

The work took the shape of a question repeated across the space: what is this, and where does it belong. A drive turned up in a pile and he had to squint at it a long while before the capacity resolved — two terabytes — and he noted, flatly, that getting older means the small print stops cooperating, and that the body changes whether or not you agree to it. A tablet dock made a strange noise and refused to work until he traced the fault to a missing power adapter, and then the adapter hunt began: a bag of them, none labeled, each one a hypothesis. He tried one that fit and did nothing. He said he didn't understand electricity — why would it fit if it doesn't work — and kept testing. A second white one seated and the light came on. Better label that one. He found the label maker, printed a tag too large, cut it down, resized the font, and called the smaller one intuitive. Every solved adapter subtracted one unknown from the index.

The clips kept crossing into other categories of object. He held up an unfinished bracelet meant for his mom, tangled, colors chosen to match a Samsung watch he rarely wears — one of several things he'd taken up before the move because he was bored and was trying anything. The thread led him to a disclosure he offered without buildup: he stole a quantity of it from a Meijer or a Walmart when he was nineteen, got caught, and the man told him every single piece was a separate charge. He said the guy scared the crap out of him, that you do stupid things when you're young even if you're generally ethical, and that he didn't mind sharing it. Then the sorting resumed. A dead Steam Link he refused to throw away because they don't make them anymore. A corroded Steam controller he's still bitter about. A four-gigabyte Sony memory card he kept because he wonders what's on it. A photograph of his great-grandfather — a man he never met, who liked fish, who painted, whose name he carries as his middle name — and the observation that when that picture was taken there was no internet, and the man could never have imagined it ending up on one.

Bailey moved through all of it. He'd wanted out for hours; rswfire told him to relax, there was classical music, chill. Later came the popsicle, brought from his mom's house the day before in a shopping bag with ice, some of them melted in transit, this one more intact than the others. He held it at an angle and asked the cat what his preferred angle was, because usually his mom does this. He said he knows the sugar isn't good, and said it twice more, and then said he would deny this cat nothing — dry food, fish flakes, treats, that is the entire list of what Bailey will accept, and that has been his whole life. He said he was concerned about the sleeping, that this was never a cat who slept, that he's six and rswfire is a year older than him in cat terms and still super active. He said soon they'd find out whether there's a reason to worry. Between licks he asked, mostly to the cat, whether they were reconnecting, and said that he changes things.

The laptop powered up for the first time since the move and worked. The lid was dented, which he called a genuine loss — a fully upgraded machine, the best you can buy, and he has never been the type to sticker a laptop because he thinks it's vandalizing something that's already a work of art. The dent, he decided, gives it character. He does not want stickers on it. He got the Blu-ray player running and worked out that 4K discs won't play on Windows anymore depending on chipset, and that a normal Blu-ray should be fine once he figures out which software is still on the machine. Drive readers got paired with the adapters that serve them so they'd live together. He mentioned that anything he pulls out of a computer gets formatted with sophisticated software, being a programmer and being of a certain age, having grown up in hacker culture.

Then came the parts of the structure itself. Command clips to hold the ceiling sling, which had already fallen once with nothing in it because he'd used poor hooks. Industrial-strength Velcro that failed to stick, and his surprise at that. Under the bed, cleared because the mattress has to go there before the slide comes in. A panel that didn't look right to him — no screws where screws should be, glue he'd been disinfecting — and behind it, a gap he could see daylight through. He said he wouldn't have caught it without the camera, and that he obviously needs to seal it, and wondered aloud whether a mobile tech should look at it. He tested outlets and reported the finding without heat: nothing in an RV is grounded. Nothing. He routed the laptop's power to the rear corner, snaked the cable under the others, tied it tight, felt for the connection with his hands because the angle was dark, found it backwards, turned it, got a green light. Then noticed another cable crossing wrong and said he'd fix that too. He mapped what the slide would clear and what it wouldn't, traced which wire couldn't move and therefore fixed the geometry around it, and named the strip-light cable as an unsolved problem he'd like ideas about.

The last objects were the ones already assigned. The Boy Scout patches from the Superstition Mountains, cut off a backpack he kept his whole life and can no longer fit, waiting for something to be sewn onto. The Whoops and Daisy figurine his grandmother gave his mother and his mother gave him — Daisy holding Whoops up, and the note that without her he'd probably be standing on his own four feet anyway — passed down as a way of saying he's stronger than he thinks. The Princess House salt and pepper shakers, the last survivors of a collection he had for twenty or thirty years, which he intends to actually use so that anyone who watches long enough will see them in service.

He surveyed what was left: clothes, towels without a home yet, art supplies staged to go outside, a desk still to be dealt with, a basket that will itself need organizing. He said he'd felt stalled for a while and had kept plucking away, and that it was actually working. Six hours in, he said he was going to rest for a bit and then keep at it, and that once it was finished he'd do a proper tour — maybe tomorrow, since it wouldn't take much more effort. Then he ended the video and told everyone to have a good day.

Summary

rswfire compiles clips from roughly six hours of organizing work inside his camper, framing the video as a process share for viewers who, like him, learned RV setup from watching other YouTubers — he credits Carolyn's ceiling bag system and Command hooks as direct sources for his own installations.

The bulk of the transmission is inventory and cable work: sorting adapters and identifying which power supply belongs to which device, testing and confirming the Blu-ray player, setting up a label maker to permanently mark adapters, mounting a ceiling organizer with command clips, and routing laptop and strip-light cables with industrial Velcro and ties around the slide mechanism. He notes that nothing in an RV is grounded, flags a gap in the wall where outside light is visible as something requiring sealing, and asks viewers for input on convection-oven cookware and a short extension cord solution.

Interleaved objects carry personal history: a photo of his great-grandfather Sam, his namesake; Boy Scout patches from hiking the Superstition Mountains; Princess House salt and pepper shakers and a Whoops-and-Daisy figurine passed from grandmother to mother to him.

He states he is playing classical music because it is the only thing he can tolerate while adjusting to the lifestyle, and describes earlier days of grieving without knowing what he was grieving. He feeds Bailey a popsicle, states concern about the cat's sleep changes at six years old, and describes his prior house as one he felt trapped in. He ends by planning a full tour once organizing completes.

Environment

Interior of an RV/camper, filmed across roughly six hours of a single day in a series of clips. The camera moves through the living space: galley and dish area, convection/microwave oven, bed and under-bed storage, desk and office zone, wall outlets and slide-out mechanism, ceiling storage sling, and exterior storage bays.

Ambient conditions include rain outside, high humidity affecting what can be stored externally, and classical music playing in the background. Bailey the cat is present throughout. Referenced adjacent locations include rswfire's mom's house, the prior house he left, Phoenix, and the Superstition Mountains.

Substrate

rswfire is building a spatial operating system: every object is assigned a logical location, every unlabeled adapter is a gap in the index, and organization proceeds as inventory, classification, and physical routing rather than tidying. The architecture held is legibility — a small enclosed environment made fully known and addressable, including its defects (ungrounded outlets, an unsealed wall gap, a dented laptop lid). Underneath the infrastructure work runs a continuous documentation loop: the process is narrated and transmitted as it happens, so building the space and recording the space are one act.

Narrative

Rain came down outside the camper and classical music ran underneath everything, the way it had for three or four days now. rswfire had the camera going in pieces — clips caught between tasks rather than a single continuous take — and the day's work was already several hours old when he started narrating it. The dishes were done. He had hated doing them, not from the labor but from not knowing his tank levels, a number the system had not yet made legible to him. He described watching other YouTubers before the move, studying their campers, and how one of them, Carolyn, had rigged a sling to her ceiling for bags. That was where the ceiling sling came from. Command hooks, too, probably. He said he hoped the process would help someone.

The work took the shape of a question repeated across the space: what is this, and where does it belong. A drive turned up in a pile and he had to squint at it a long while before the capacity resolved — two terabytes — and he noted, flatly, that getting older means the small print stops cooperating, and that the body changes whether or not you agree to it. A tablet dock made a strange noise and refused to work until he traced the fault to a missing power adapter, and then the adapter hunt began: a bag of them, none labeled, each one a hypothesis. He tried one that fit and did nothing. He said he didn't understand electricity — why would it fit if it doesn't work — and kept testing. A second white one seated and the light came on. Better label that one. He found the label maker, printed a tag too large, cut it down, resized the font, and called the smaller one intuitive. Every solved adapter subtracted one unknown from the index.

The clips kept crossing into other categories of object. He held up an unfinished bracelet meant for his mom, tangled, colors chosen to match a Samsung watch he rarely wears — one of several things he'd taken up before the move because he was bored and was trying anything. The thread led him to a disclosure he offered without buildup: he stole a quantity of it from a Meijer or a Walmart when he was nineteen, got caught, and the man told him every single piece was a separate charge. He said the guy scared the crap out of him, that you do stupid things when you're young even if you're generally ethical, and that he didn't mind sharing it. Then the sorting resumed. A dead Steam Link he refused to throw away because they don't make them anymore. A corroded Steam controller he's still bitter about. A four-gigabyte Sony memory card he kept because he wonders what's on it. A photograph of his great-grandfather — a man he never met, who liked fish, who painted, whose name he carries as his middle name — and the observation that when that picture was taken there was no internet, and the man could never have imagined it ending up on one.

Bailey moved through all of it. He'd wanted out for hours; rswfire told him to relax, there was classical music, chill. Later came the popsicle, brought from his mom's house the day before in a shopping bag with ice, some of them melted in transit, this one more intact than the others. He held it at an angle and asked the cat what his preferred angle was, because usually his mom does this. He said he knows the sugar isn't good, and said it twice more, and then said he would deny this cat nothing — dry food, fish flakes, treats, that is the entire list of what Bailey will accept, and that has been his whole life. He said he was concerned about the sleeping, that this was never a cat who slept, that he's six and rswfire is a year older than him in cat terms and still super active. He said soon they'd find out whether there's a reason to worry. Between licks he asked, mostly to the cat, whether they were reconnecting, and said that he changes things.

The laptop powered up for the first time since the move and worked. The lid was dented, which he called a genuine loss — a fully upgraded machine, the best you can buy, and he has never been the type to sticker a laptop because he thinks it's vandalizing something that's already a work of art. The dent, he decided, gives it character. He does not want stickers on it. He got the Blu-ray player running and worked out that 4K discs won't play on Windows anymore depending on chipset, and that a normal Blu-ray should be fine once he figures out which software is still on the machine. Drive readers got paired with the adapters that serve them so they'd live together. He mentioned that anything he pulls out of a computer gets formatted with sophisticated software, being a programmer and being of a certain age, having grown up in hacker culture.

Then came the parts of the structure itself. Command clips to hold the ceiling sling, which had already fallen once with nothing in it because he'd used poor hooks. Industrial-strength Velcro that failed to stick, and his surprise at that. Under the bed, cleared because the mattress has to go there before the slide comes in. A panel that didn't look right to him — no screws where screws should be, glue he'd been disinfecting — and behind it, a gap he could see daylight through. He said he wouldn't have caught it without the camera, and that he obviously needs to seal it, and wondered aloud whether a mobile tech should look at it. He tested outlets and reported the finding without heat: nothing in an RV is grounded. Nothing. He routed the laptop's power to the rear corner, snaked the cable under the others, tied it tight, felt for the connection with his hands because the angle was dark, found it backwards, turned it, got a green light. Then noticed another cable crossing wrong and said he'd fix that too. He mapped what the slide would clear and what it wouldn't, traced which wire couldn't move and therefore fixed the geometry around it, and named the strip-light cable as an unsolved problem he'd like ideas about.

The last objects were the ones already assigned. The Boy Scout patches from the Superstition Mountains, cut off a backpack he kept his whole life and can no longer fit, waiting for something to be sewn onto. The Whoops and Daisy figurine his grandmother gave his mother and his mother gave him — Daisy holding Whoops up, and the note that without her he'd probably be standing on his own four feet anyway — passed down as a way of saying he's stronger than he thinks. The Princess House salt and pepper shakers, the last survivors of a collection he had for twenty or thirty years, which he intends to actually use so that anyone who watches long enough will see them in service.

He surveyed what was left: clothes, towels without a home yet, art supplies staged to go outside, a desk still to be dealt with, a basket that will itself need organizing. He said he'd felt stalled for a while and had kept plucking away, and that it was actually working. Six hours in, he said he was going to rest for a bit and then keep at it, and that once it was finished he'd do a proper tour — maybe tomorrow, since it wouldn't take much more effort. Then he ended the video and told everyone to have a good day.
