Full Van Conversion Pt. 15 || Final Details
All previous episodes are listed below.
We have finally reached the end of the van build series. This episode I install everything needed to finally bring the van to a point where I was comfortable using it.
I gotta say, bittersweet with this episode. I honestly did not enjoy how I presented the van build to CZcams as a "How To" series.
I'm just a normal guy, who learned how to build out a van with zero experience, and my main focus was to showcase that here on CZcams that anyone can do it.
Thanks for sticking around this far! Stoked for all the content I will be putting out about van life.

My First Night Out In The Van
zhlédnutí 114Před měsícem
If you've been following me for a while on social media, or this CZcams channel, you'll know that I've slowly built out a 2003 T1N Mercedes Sprinter Van. And the time has FINALLY come to share my very first night out in the van! Ever since I traveled to Norway in 2022 running around in a van, I knew this is what I wanted. So starting this van life era of the channel is monumental to me. My firs...
Full Van Conversion Pt. 14 | Upper Cabinets
zhlédnutí 146Před měsícem
Part 14 covers how I built and installed the two upper cabinets in the van. I am not a carpenter, but I feel like these came out how I wanted them to. The basis of design was buying prefabricated shaker doors from Ikea, and building the dimensions of the cabinets around them. Apologies in advance for being half naked. It was summer and VERY hot.

Hiking The North Cascades In The Fall

This is part 2 of mine and Goku's first trip together. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, especially in Washington State. Just outside of the North Cascades National Park are plenty of easy to moderate hikes that get you elevated FAST. Maple Loop Pass is a popular area as the access is fairly easy. Goku and I spent our last day here, trying to chase the light in hopes of a good sunset. I wasn'...
Full Van Conversion Pt. 13 | Building Benches
zhlédnutí 71Před 2 měsíci
Part 13 of the van build was how I constructed the two benches on either side of the wall. Nothing super fancy, just seats with cushions and lids that open to storage underneath. Hope this helps someone trying to figure out how to build their own benches:) Apologies in advance for being half naked. It was summer and VERY hot.

Last October, I packed up my dog and supplies and headed to the North Cascades in Washington State, to hopefully catch what was left of the larches that had turned color for the fall.

Full Van Conversion Pt. 12 | Bed Build Out & Sliding Table
zhlédnutí 231Před 3 měsíci
This one is pretty straight forward in the van build series. I just show how I built the framing out for a stationary bed, along with a slide out table mix. The table was extremely difficult for me lol, but the video below from Ankeny Van Builds is where I got the idea.

    Thank you, Elias! I hope to bring my beginners drone techniques to the Hanksville area during the heat of August. As a landscape photographer who also does astrophotography, the clear moonless skies over this landscape should be breathtaking....so dark and low humidity should reveal stars not seen in most places. I can hardly wait. Thank you for adding to my inspirations!

    I've spent a lot of time in Leslie Gulch over the last 40 years riding the trails on motorcycles and flying my ultralight. One of my favorite areas of Oregon. Next time you're there I recommend driving over to Three Finger Gulch and taking a hike. High clearance vehicle required but the canyon walls are spectacular. Early summer is best when the grass is tall and green. There are caves, a very old rock corral, and thousands of birds nesting in the cliffs. Just don't tell anyone about it!

    I know this is off subject of video..but..How long did it take with stops from lot? How much vertical was it? I was gonna split board tour, but it looks like boot packing will do the trick. Did you use crampons, or just your snowboard boots? Mine have a super grippy sole but just wondering if crampons are necessary for a morning hike up.

    • @eliastcobb5506
      @eliastcobb5506 Před 23 dny

      Nah not off topic at all! It took me about 3.5 to 4 hours to get from Timberline to Illumination rock. I would honestly split board it vs boot packing, it would be that much easier i think. I did end up wearing snowshoes for it though, but mostly because I didn’t have crampons or micro spikes. Spring snow is tricky, and can be super soft. You can post hole a lot if you don’t wear snowshoes or skis.

    Elias, so glad to see you finally got the van out! You can plan all you want but you will always find something later like why didn't I think of that. Like all projects you will be adjusting as you go along. You needs might change or whatever that's just part of it. Bummer about the door not working right but I'm sure you got it fixed right away. As always I enjoyed the photography that you did get. I know you are always wanting "The perfect light", but you know what there is a special beauty in the imperfect light as well. I think the shots you got were great. Great job and can't wait to see where you two go next.
