Finally - someone who can show how many years playing Tetris is NEVER wasted!!!! I LOVE this video. You have got it down to exactly what you need. The way you lay everything out logically - you really understand "a place for everything, and everything in its place". Awesome job; I'm really impressed. Thanks for sharing.
You get me I love Tetris even have a tattoo of it and I always say a place for everything and everything in its place
Dude! This is the FIRST realistic van tour I have seen! Awesome doors! Love the water pipe, love the bed. You are organized! Nice set up. Pretty puppy! Subbed!
Thank you so much yeah just how my car normally is given everyone the real stuff so thank you
This is the realist van/suvlife tour I've seen! It's not always fancy things and space. It's crowded and a bit chaotic! I've been doing this for almost a year, and this is what it's really like! Instant follow! 💚💚💚
Yeah most definitely this is as real as it gets I love that Element gets me where I need to go plus every where else ☺️
“And here is another piece of foam incase someone wants to spend the night!”😀😀😀
Wouldn’t be the 1st time 😉
I always wondered how people live in such small cars and seem to have everything so neat and barely have anything there. Yours is so realistic and it shows that you didn’t take things out of your car just to do a video. I love it.
Yeah this is 💯 how the element is most of the time living and traveling Iv picked up a few things but yeah thank you for watching ☺️
You said you have to clean but it’s obvious that you’ve been maintaining the cleanliness of your Honda home for yourself and your cute little dog. No stains no spills couldn’t even see any shedding fur from your dog either. Enjoyed your video giving a thumbs up.
Yeah I do my best to clean and wash everything once a week and it was more of stuff I don’t use to much anymore make room 😄 thank you for watching
This is real vanlife, good sh*t man! Appreciate the tour, first time seeing the doors on an Element like that. Awesome. Wish you the best
Thanks it’s been good experience so far ☺️
You know your water rack on the roof put a shower head on the end of it then you'd be able to take showers and because it's black the sun will heat it up portable shower
I have a hose attachment that use it works really well and I have a air compressor that I use to push out water even faster for a good shower
What is the Molle type panel on the window?
VAN LIFE! good set up keep chasing the dream you want. Proud of you homie
Thanks man I most definitely am
Honda needs to bring the Element back
They really do 2025 element
I like the water idea. You have a good set up. Those back doors are definitely convenient.
Thank you so much I definitely like my set up and the back doors are very convenient
Keep doing your thing, brother! I'm envious of a life that does not require giving up most my pay on what we call Necessities
Hell yeah man I’ll definitely keep on doing my thing and yeah most things we think we need we just don’t
Wow! Your van is really crowded. At least, you have everything you need for work all within arms reach. I hope living and working in your van is allowing you to save money to get a bigger vehicle at some point. I didn't hear you say where your pup sleeps, and rides on your journeys.
He sleeps with me and sits where ever haha he likes to roam
We have two Elements and if we were younger we’d do this, at least part time. Your set up gives me anxiety! If it were me, I’d empty the whole thing out and start from scratch and reorganize. I bet you’d feel so great!
That’s always the best part of elements every ones build is different ☺️ I would love to see what build out you would go with 😁
@@HerbsElement I don’t really mean the build, but rather the organization. I bet you’d have a lot more room! Everybody has their own “system” though, so it wasn’t criticism. My husband and I have a 2003 and a 2004, both look nearly new. I live vicariously on the road through you, Rosa,Mindi and the other Element dwellers!
The build comes with how you organize those my bed has space underneath it so I use it I would possibly think about removing my passenger seat but maybe when I get to the well coast I would try that out I could leave the seat at my bothers place that would give me a bit more ground room but definitely something I would have to test out
Appreciate the tour! I love seeing realness.
This as real as it gets haha a friend wanted to see my car so I uploaded the video so they could see it and yeah now it’s been seen by a lot of people
This is awesome! Good job I love how you have everything set up!
Thank you
This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I subscribed. I love watching van life and camping videos. I just love the roof water system and the way you store your laundry.♥️
Thank you so much I have a video of me and my dad making the water storage on my channel somewhere 😅
Just subbed. Was watching Rosie living in her Element but she decided to take a hike on the Appalachian trail i think. Somewhere anyway. Element. Owners get together somewhere every year and swap stories. So I shall watch you. Hello from N.C. Love your doggie
Hi thank you for the sub and I’m in N.C right now now in Raleigh I’ll be leaving to Oklahoma soon but it’s been really nice here 😀
I like your PVC water tank. That is a good idea. I’ll have to do that. Thanks.
Definitely give it a shot I love mine
Just found your channel….love the signatures! …nice set up!
Thank you very much this car is just always getting me where ever I need to go thank you for the support
Awesome setup! I would love to see you show us your mad yo-yo skills! That would be crazy awesome!
I will have to bust them out in the next live ☺️
Hey just to let you know your ac recirculation pulls air from the passenger side by the floor board so having it blocked like that wont let your ac cool very well and will wear out your blower motor faster
Thank you for that man I’m gonna have to give that area some air
❤❤❤❤❤ love the tour of your element thanks hun. ❤❤❤
Thanks MJ 🥰
You inspire me brother to get out and really do some LIVING. Meanwhile I'm stuck in this house. Dreaming...☮
It’s definitely nice to be out and about bro I know how it can be stuck at home 😕
Damn dude 😅 aren’t you scared of a fire ? You have A LOT of shenanigans in there . Definitely need to part with some stuff . Be safe out there 🙌🏼
Not really I haven’t done anything that would make me feel like I would set off a fire as of yet
Just found your channel. Love Hades looks like my dog Hank. You've got a new subscriber from Texas.
Awwww Hank how cute ☺️ man a lot of people from Texas I’m gonna have to go to one of the big cites and have a meet there or something haha
I am new here and loving it. I am working on my mini van setup and you gave me some great ideas. ❤
I’m glad I could spark some ideas for you I hope your set up is coming along nicely
Enjoy to ur van life. Be safe
I always do my best to be safe unless it will make for good content 😅
Safe travels!
Thank you been doing my best
Amazing 💯 the suicide doors and that kind of trunk are perfect for that kind project 😉 what a lovey copilot 🤩
Thank you so much yeah it’s been a awesome car and the pup is a 10/10
Happy to see you doin your thang man! It's Ken from Chicago! Lost your number about a year ago 😭. If your journey ever takes you to the Chicagoland area definitely hit me up so I can give you a tour!
I don’t think I’ll be going that way this time but you will know if I go that way for sure I always post when ever I’m in a new state
I just found your channel. I am a new subscriber. Nice set up.
Thank you so much I definitely enjoy my car
I see Chucksters name next to your door handle, that dude is a frigging legend!!!!
He is tho haha baller
I love it! Great job!!!
Thank you
A lot of element enthusiast build the sliding drawers long and deep in back of their cars it Organizes everything and easy to find allowing more room They also put up a Tent roof from inside of car allowing them more space as well to sleep in during summer months.
Isn’t that the best part about these cars ever one has there own kind of set up and I love that so much every one sees the cars as a blank canvas and they make something out of them
Love the way got it looking very nice ❤
Thank you 😊
Cute puppy!!!!
He is the best little traveling partner
Be safe out there!!
🫡 will do
sweet set up bro!!! 😎
Thanks GK ☺️
@@HerbsElement 9:32 bro you took me back wit this.. the 🪀!!! Reminds me of the old videos 😭
Look at 9th Element for some organization ideas of a small place.
Yeah seen it I like how my lay out is right now ☺️
The mult colors on the outside look very cool.
Yeah it’s definitely becoming a work of art haha how are you doing patty I hope you are well 💚
@HerbsElement Hi Herb, I'm doing better than I should be. 💜
I’m glad you are doing okay even if things aren’t working out the best for you night now I’ll be in NC in a week I’ll be by ya if you wanted to hang out
Hi I just came across your channel I actually like your setup for a small space. It just needs a good cleaning. I hit that subscribe button and now I’ll go down the rabbit hole and watch some more of your videos.
Element is the best damn car and still so upset with honda for not building them anymore. Mine is a 2008 with just over 200K and it actually sat for a year while I was on assignments where I couldn't drive to. I don't live full time in mine but it is set up similar when I am. Bummer about the solar. Hope you can get a new one soon. Keep living the dream.
Thank you and I would definitely like to see your set up as well I love seeing how people have there car set up and I’m sure I’ll get a new one soon
Hey bro Herb I hope 1 day you make it big enough to afford a sprinter van omg you could make and unbelievable build out of those bro.
I would want a bus build next a short bus I feel like that would be fun
An MCT city Bus is perfect....I think they are an f450 chassis...And you can buy them for under 15k then build
@@SmallyTheElement that would be cool for sure
Very impressive build. You've gotta show us some of those yoyo skills! I think I'd have a set up very similar to yours when I get a new car. They don't sell the Element here in Australia so I'm not sure what to get... Maybe a RAV4? 😀
A RAV4 would make for a great car to camp/live out of I would say do it man build that bad boy
I’m interested to see a day in the life of video. Maybe this is what you do in your Livestream but just curious how you cook. 😊
Oh yeah most definitely I’ll have to make a day in the life video for sure
Hola! New subscriber here 🙂 stumbled upon this video....i really like the layout of your element! It's awesome to see how everyone*molds* their lil home on wheel! I'm So sorry about your solar panel, hopefully it can be replaced soon. my boyfriend & i bought a 92 Chevy G30 sport van, it's got decent room...but we're a LONG ways away from hitting the road 🥺 sadly. I do really like the idea about a platform made from pallets though! 🙏🏻 Looking forward to more videos, Stay safe out there 🚙
Thank you so much yeah I wanted to make a bed any one could make out of something any one could get from the back of a target or Walmart haha and that’s so awesome what a cool van 🤩🤩 I hope you guys do something amazing with it 😀
@@HerbsElement it really is a clever idea! I've seen others use them for other stuff too, I'm just not creative enough to think of these things 😅 we definitely need all the money saving toys we can at this point 🙏🏻 we've never been in the road... I've been binging van life videos for years now. Hopefully we complete it, it's completely gutted & there's still holes in the floor & roof 😅😭 again...LONG WAYS away. Thank you for your quick reply!
Curious question though...Do you have OR have you ever suffer from anxiety when or once you got on the road?...& How did you cope with that? what helped?? 🤕 I suffer from severe anxiety (& depression) so it scares me a bit too
(So sorry for all the questions 😅😥)
Anxiety is something that I don’t really deal with I know how hard it can be with someone people and I’m not sure how well I would handle this life style with anxiety sometimes in small towns it can be hard to find places to park where people or cops won’t bug you 😅 definitely been a few times where Iv been told to move on and I’m like yep I’m going I’m gone and I’m not sure how well I would have been if I had anxiety 😬 I tend to let things happen then let it pass and move on to the next
@@HerbsElement I see 😰 that makes me worry...ALLOT more than I already was. IDK if you know what these vans LOOK like (& their size) but "STEALTH"...ain't no such thing 😅😭 hopefully by the time it's completed my bf & I can finally hit the road together...cuz I definitely won't be able to handle it 💯 on my own in the beginning 🤕 Stay safe out there 🙏🏻 gnight*
Ever seen that MTV Cribs episode with Redman? This is the VanLife version of that 😂, definitely not hating that episode is legendary, for all the RIGHT reasons.
Haha I feel it bro
Honestly this is a sloppy setup. Definitely not for me, but you aren't doing this for me you're doing this for you and you love every bit of it. That's all that matters. Keep traveling and enjoying yourself
😋 thanks
Yeah,I agree 100%
Organizing all that stuff will definitely go a long way brotha but good stuff stay safe
First time watching your video' join' and l liked 💗 in joyed 😍
I’m glad you had fun I’ll be back soon when I fix my mouth
Hey bro!!! Just found your channel. I subbed up.
Thank you so much it really means a lot 😀
Good job 😅😅😅😅.
Thanks
Love it! Great ideas you have! Wish I was younger and stronger. I would do the same and build some wealth. Is this a less expensive option than renting?
Because I’m traveling as much as i am I would say it’s about as expensive as rent but when I’m in a single place and am not going state to state I spend maybe 400 a month that being 120 on my phone 115 on car insurance and the rest on food it can be very cheap
I like it ❤
Thank you it’s not for everyone but I enjoy it
You need to block haters. They dont need to watch
I feel that 😅
Just curious, how many miles on tgat Element? Was looking into a used one in really good condition with 70k miles on it going for $8800. Seems expensive to me though. Its a 2006.
Not sure about the element price but in general .. MOST Hondas are die hards if kept up with maintenance. I had a Honda Civic that I did my 1st couple years with the nomad life, even pulled a 5x10 cargo trailer with it.. yes you read that lol. bought it used 52k miles, retired it at 298k and was still running solid. Best of luck and maybe see ya on the road some where in travels.
🎉great🎉 keep living life best yu can🎉
Thank you I plan on doing that 🤩
1:25 lost, damaged or stolen? What do you mean by loss and if it was damaged would you even recommend getting the same one and what kind would you using and how well did it work before it was lost? Thank you in advance.
It came off my roof when I was driving o believe my carabiners had a catastrophic failure of holding it down
Thanks!
😳 omg thank you 🙏🏼
Good luck with your car 🚗 build
Thank you so much I’m always working it
Not suicide doors. I suppose the rear one could be called that.
I think it's great 👍
I pit my clothes in my pillow case too lolol❤
Twins 😀
What do you do all day to pass time? How is where you sleep even comfortable?
You should come to one of my live streams and see I stream Monday Thursday and Saturday at 3pm it’s a good time
I live in my car too I like your setup
That’s awesome what kind of car you living out of 🙂
@@HerbsElement 2007 dodge caravan 😊
Do you know just how long it is to get your insurance to pay if your car goes up in flames? Could be weeks or even months before the investigation is cleared for a check. Van life will end up homeless life if you don't take this into consideration! Protect yourself before you influence others. They might end up hating this channel. Protect yourself FIRST!
lol kayyyy……
Watching this, I can’t figure out how an adult would be able to sleep in there. Can you show someone actually lying down in there?
I’m 5”7 just a big guy but I sleep pretty comfortably in there I’m gonna be making another video soon 👍🏼
He said "if" I ever go shower not "when" I go shower😂
😂 I do love my showers just not always using the tube to use it
Cool video, thanks! Just curious how the solar panel got lost and how was it attached? Asking cuz I’m about to try something different for the next panel on my minivan.
Mine was attached with carabiners. It looks like I have a broken one so I’m pretty sure the rest ended up breaking too while I was driving.
@@HerbsElement Oh man, sorry to hear it.
I’ve never seen plastic pallets like that what state did you find them??? Seems so much better then wooden pallets.
Got them from California Iv never seen another set like the ones I have right now but Walmart and target have plastic pallets and they work just as well ☺️
Etoo crowds😮
Yes sure
Hi, where did you get the plastic pellets? Purging on a regular basis is always a good idea 💡 nice job,!
I got them from a work site but you can get the pallets from behind target Walmarts and stuff
I'm interested in your bed platform. I know you mentioned it being two plastic pallets. Where did you get them from? Do they fit side to side or did you have to cut them down. Great Idea by the way!
I got them from my old job it seems just about any plastic plallet will fit in the element no cutting needed but if you want to make cubby like mine you will need to cut out areas underneath the pallet
I know your back has to hurt! I have an '06 Element w 252,000 miles. Those things are beasts! Safe travels!
💯
👍🏼👍🏼
😎
😎 👍🏼
13:01 Literally bigger than the car 😂
Bigger then Case0h
How many miles does your car have?also what do you do for money since you said you were going to rent an apartment again??
Currently I have 130,709 miles on the car and a year and half ago I was working a full time job so I was able to pay off all my debts and save money now I just make money from CZcams so thank you for watching ☺️
@@HerbsElement ahh ok I appreciate you man just found your channel you seen real cool,God bless you im hoping to get a Honda element soon but will probably be awhile haha also what areas do you go to? Like Cali or further?
@@remedy334 the further Iv gone was Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 I’m in Pennsylvania right now I’ll be back in the west coast in about a month
Hi!!! You mentioned that you have tattoo equipment. Do you do tattoos on the road to help supplement your income?
Nice system. What is that orange circle WiFi
It’s a homefi it works well
@@HerbsElement ty!
How many miles on that Element? Beautiful dog
As of right now 131,000 she’s still getting broken in haha I’m the second owner old lady owned it before me so got lucky with this car
💜😇
💜☺️
Herb did you ever put ECEM on there I didnt see us 😢❤
Omg I’m so sorry i haven’t I’ll do it now
Sorry I forgot to ask,
Where do you shower?
Where ever I want I have that black tube I can shower with
52k views in 10 days is that you’re record?
Yeah it is for sure kinda wild this one popped off
I usually watch you or your boy Dana what's going on with him he hasn't made a video in a week is it going through some s***
Yeah man i haven’t heard from him in a bit i hope he is well im gonna have to bug him
I experienced homelessness, I lived and slept in my suv, and my experience was not a great.
Dude I’m sorry about that I chose to live this way and enjoy it I know at this isn’t for everyone and I feel bad for people who don’t want to be living out of a car suv van or rv I know it can be hard I hope you are in a better spot dude
Gengar!!!
My favorite 💜
If you can give those things away instead of throwing them away
💯 yeah you right for that
Bro your car is like 6 inches off the ground. There's literally no need for side steps 😅😅
It’s just a oem add on I like them and it helps get to the roof basket better
Looks like you are living the democratic dream. Good for you.
all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
Are you related to community coz from slab City

Do you work?how do you make money?
Iv been making a living from CZcams for the past 5 months so thank you for watching and helping my channel 👍🏼
@@HerbsElement dude ok that’s damn awesome take care my guy living that life in the E
@@pnw_element9822 hell yeah 😀 thanks just out here living my dream 😊
Carnivore diet. It will change your life. Mentioned with love.
Sounds delicious
Bruhhhh
WHERE IS THE BATHROOM !!! SHOWER ??? HOW DO YOU WASH UP IN THE MORNING!! TAKE A SHOWER EVERYDAY
😢😢😢 I COULD NEVER DO THIS .
I don’t shower every day I shower every 3 days or so unless I get really sweaty but I used that black tube to shower or friends houses or even truck stops and the bathroom is every where 😅
@@marieajordan2574 why are you shouting 😒
Blur out your license plate number hun
Maybe next time 😅😅
Why?
I swore I'd never be that old guy sayin "back in my day...." but good lord. I see these videos suggested to me all the time. Well, back in my day, living in a van wasn't, yanno, good. It certainly wasn't somethin you'd tell many ppl about in person (cuz there was no internet), and it damn sure wasn't somethin you'd call the newspaper office and have em do an article on. I'm so glad I never married or had kids lol. I mean, he DECIDED to do this, as he said, and apparently my boy isn't starving, so I guess you do you but damn son....maybe get somethin bigger to accommodate. I'm sure ppl are gonna come at me with "why u hating" or whatever the kids say. Well, ya put it on the internet, so you're inviting the internet to give its subjective opinions on it.
That’s the best part about this bro I love any and all feed back the bad and the good this life style isn’t for everyone definitely not for the weak a lot of people end “VanLife” after a few months to a year it takes a different kind of mind set the Element community is super chill so I’ll be sticking with this unless I get a mini bus to build for fun and make some buss content
You’re old enough to know if you have nothing good to say keep it to yourself.
