Want a fun drinking game? Take a shot everytime I say "van."
Aww seeing your empty Nissan brought back soo many memories for me. I remember when my van was a baby.
They grow up so fast!
Lovely build!!
Aren't Dads great, especially when they have owned 18 different boat that mostly needed repairing, now retired and living at the beach. Along come the pandemic and I move in with said DAD to save money on rent. My dad spends a lot of time watching StaticCamperVan and My Scamp Adventures. So I go find a used 2018 Ram Pro-Master City with low milage. My education on electrical, plumbing, insulation, bed building, storage, etc begins. two months later I own a Rolling Chris Craft of a van. 3 years later after adding a 2014 Trillium Outback and traveling almost 3 thousand mile around the country, I now live in a Thor Tallero 20J . Work remote, travel with the Sun( I hate cold weather) Love Harvest Host and Cracker Barrels. Those who Wander are not lost, or as my Dad always said on the boat, never lost often ADRIFT
WHY don’t you have more subscribers?! Great video 👍🏼
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Turned 16 this month but really like the idea of van life, this video helps thank you
Happy to hear that, dude. You've got time on your side!
Intro's just getting better and better each upload hahahaha
p.s lens mugs are the best mugs
Slowly but surely! Thank you so much! Good eye. Lens mug for the win
super underrated!
Thanks, Felix!
I'm from Malaysia, and first time watching all your videos. You're hilarious 🤣🤣 always laugh at your random words 😂
Awesome vid dude! Your film style is so clean and engaging. Safe travels! Chris and Walker from Sandpoint here. Cheers
Thank you guys! It was a pleasure talking to you the other day. I hope you guys have a great trip!!
Love how you explained everything so simply! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Excellent video. Probably one of the easiest to comprehend about Van life out there. Good job.
Thanks dude! Digestible was what I was aiming for. It's can be such a daunting and complicated topic.
Fantastic video Cody, loving the sprinkles of humour throughout! Just binged a few of your videos and excited to see where you get to next :)
That means a lot to me. Thank you so much you guys!!
Excellent quick intro to vanlife components which gives me food for thought. Well done!
Thank you Levi!!
I SAW THAT ODESZA HAT
Van Life; Earthquake on the Inside, Tornado on the Outside.
That intro was clutch! Really liked this brief overview on what it takes to get started with the van life because honestly I had no idea how this works
Thank you so much man. So glad you dug it!
this is the last straw, you make van life look incredible!
thanks for all the work put into this video and spreading the love of travel... hope to see ya out there!
Ella, thank you so much! I wish you the best of luck on your travels!
I just stumbled upon your channel Cody. As a person who is currently saving up for van life, and also getting into shooting 35mm film, and also a aspiring cinematographer. You work really speaks to me.
Syd, thank you dude! That's really nice of you to say. I hope a tiny modicum of my work can help you along your path in some way!
Professional, clean, still being yourself. You have a great editing style and knack for keeping a video going without it seeming blocky. I watched your 4 mins of peace video too, would be cool to see you work on a documentary. I'm a big fan of Renan Ozturk and his partner Taylor, can see you in those ranks in whatever direction you go. Keep up the great work.
Wow, Madison thank you so much, I'm really flattered. I'd love to make one someday. And Renan and Taylor are badass. Honored you would even suggest the comparison. Appreciate you!
Just found your channel - and glad I did! Subscribed 🙌🏽✨
Grateful to have you here Bernadette, thank you!!
Now this was something special. Dang. That process! Quite daunting along with that lifestyle but it very neat to have that work out for you. I used to live in a hut but it was loaded with a fridge and bathroom 😆
Thank you Mike! It's no small task but it's a very worthwhile one. Who knows, maybe you'd like it too!
@@Codacolor definitely seems to work well for the handy man and even more so for the digital nomad. This video definitely helps bring the reality of it in a nice package. The whole parking situation seemed pretty sketchy but at least there is that app to help show where you can park overnight and won’t have to worry about police called on you 😆
Alright, I thought this was great - funny and informative and I wish I'd seen something like this before I moved into my rig! New subscriber, you sold me with this vid haha
Thank you Holly. I tried to make something that would have helped younger Cody with the big picture. As I'm sure you know, the process can be rather messy. Happy to have you here and I look forward to following your journey as well!
Intro was great
Thank you!
Guess I wont need that shovel and tarp any more with DIY van insulating...
Glad I could be of service.
This is dope to watch AND valuable. Why didn't I have this when I was vanning?! Cody?! I need answers. Okay. anyway, you're legit.
Hahaha thanks dude. Appreciate you
Fake slow-mo is even better than slow slow-mo
Congrats on the 1k subscribers💫! I had a question… Have you had to deal with mice yet? I haven’t and am doing everything I can not to. I’m praying Nissan is built in such a way that mice don’t want to get in lol
Thank you thank you thank you! I did have a rodent in my van for one night. I think it got in through one of the doors though and I'm not sure where it went because it was gone the next day. That being said, I scoured my van for places it would have been able to get in or out and I haven't found anything so I think the Nissans are pretty solid in that department (knock on wood).
That intro hahaha you really punched it there.
I may have gotten slightly carried away and immediately regretted it haha
Where is this spot??? Wow! Fake slow mo was awesome.
Thank you! Central Oregon!!
YO ONE OF MY FAVORITE CZcamsRS PLAYS DND?????? 3:39
It's actually an Odesza hat, but from what I know about DND it looks like something I would definitely enjoy!
Are allow to mount a propane tank under your car? What if you hit something hard enough to cause a puncture?
Your gas tank is mounted under the car as well and it's likely plastic, not 1/4" thick metal. Punctures aren't really a concern, and even if they were, the propane would have to be exposed to an open flame or temperatures in excess of 900 degrees to ignite, and even once it was ignited, it wouldn't cause an explosion. Appreciate your concern, but blockbuster movie logic doesn't apply here. It's quite safe.
Lol great intro ...
Thank you!
This is great. Do you have an engineering/carpentry background or something?
Absolutely none. It was all a learning experience!
you can crush cans to save space
nice vid
Very true. I do sometimes but I also know some recycling centers won't take the cans if they're crushed. It's usually but a problem though
thanks bro how are you doing so far? no zombie attack yet just joking any way till next time
Thank you Nondis. Doing well!
footage looks like its from blackmagic?
Sony actually!
No, I don't want to live the van life. I do have a no-build van I could live in but it's just an emergency shelter. If I were to find myself needing to live in the van, that would mean something bad has happened, that I had somehow lost my home.
So the van life has no appeal to me and besides, I hate to travel.
sounds fun
