How I make money while living full time in my van - UK Van Life
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 8. 09. 2024
- I've been asked a few times to make a video about how I earn money when living in my van full time. I went for a lovely hike this morning around Burbage Edge in the Peak District so thought it would be a perfect opportunity to talk about it.

What I find refreshing about you James is you're not constantly banging on about this "buy me a coffee malarky" and promotions .There's a guy on here (not van life related) and he's always asking for coffees, hitting super like button and he's amazon wish list. Can't warch him anymore. You do great videos and people can spot your genuine nature.
Thank you
At least you're honest James that's what I like about u buddy
Thanks Dave
Enjoyed that mate, I understand wanting to do what you want to do, companies wanting you to do reviews tell you what to , let them jog on. We follow you because your genuine, so honest, some CZcamsrs have lost there way, vannlifers.
Thanks Craig, it's a fine line, we all need to earn a living but I don't want the channel to be full of ads. Woke up this morning to two more requests and yes one of them is a power bank. I'll look into it as it is a good name and quite an expensive piece of kit but I won't do a dedicated video, maybe just a 5 minute segment.
@@bythecurb now that sounds good, I should take it đ€Łđ
I think you and helen should do livestreams on youtube, in the back of the van or just in a pub or out and about on a walk, It would be a proper laugh and we'd all love to support you with superchats and donations
We're definitely going to do this, I'm looking into how we would set it up
So lovely to see your honesty and personal morals aren't for sale.
Dont lower your standards like other youtube van lifers keep it real do it your way and keep up the entertaining vids đ
Thanks Gary
You guys stay as your are , thats why i think people watch because you are genuine . Looking forward to your van build
Thank you!
Right decision about the adverts, I switch off when there are too many, we like your own content, not cheesy adverts!
Thanks Peter
OMG it was lovely meeting you in Morrisons today lol. Was proper starstruck (saddo or what? ) and forgot all the main items I actually went for! Good job Helen wasn't there too I would have gone home with nothing at all lol.
Haha was lovely to meet you too đ
Hi James, You know it surprises me a little that apparently people like to know about âmoneyâ I hope you channel grows fairly steep as I watched you from the beginning basically. I said it before your channel stands out, it is really different in a positive way, love the sense humor you both have. Best regards, Albert PS If I got to choose, I would buy a t shirt or a cup or so,etching like that. I have this cooks apron from an Italian guy, cuoredichocolato, just as you said it feel more positive too me, plus you get that bit of advertisement especially wearing a shirt or a hoody or what ever you know.
Thanks mate, I'm going to try this, but I'll arrange it through a local company rather than one of the big online firms.
@@bythecurb that seems the way to go indeed, not only can you handle finance better between you and the person who can handle this, it is more exclusive for less money than going with t spring and all these cowboys. For that matter you talked about family, they can do it if they feel for it you know. đ
Top lad we love that walk as well pall nice video đ
Hi James. I loved your video as always. Honest, entertaining and creative are all words I would use to describe them. I love all the vintage TV and film clips you often use and I can see the work and research that you put into them. I really wish your channel all the very best and hope it grows exponentially as it is everyone's dream to earn a living doing something they love and are good at.
Aren't some folk nosey though wanting to know about how you make your income? Just wonder if they'd be as open and honest as you about their income?!
Keep loving what you are doing and best regards to both you and Helen đ
Totally agree Patricia
Thanks Patricia, I'm glad you like the videos. I really enjoy making the vintage clips
Great video James! You come across as a very genuine person and what you see is what you get. Some people are just watchable and thatâs you!!đ
Thank you Tracy, I really appreciate that
Good for you James staying true to yourself and not promoting any old thing, keep just doing what feels right for you and Helen. Enjoyed the video and the day to day insight to your life, as others have said i think people are just curious (not nosey!) to know about the money side of it because some of us would love to do what your doing, but don't have the know how on how to earni money when as a vanlifer you might not be in a fixed place all the time. To be honest until i found your channel i never knew about vanlife!, but the idea appeals to me more abd more! Have a good week, whats the name of the stout in the little blue bottle?, not seen that one before xx
Thanks Rebecca, the beer is called Chimay Blue and it's one of my favourite beers, not a stout but quite a dark ale and very strong at 9% abv
@@bythecurb Where is it sold James ? Any major supermarkets ? Love the channel by the way, you need to buy a kettle !
Hi James,this time next year youâre going to be millionaires đ€
Thanks for your video and keep trucking đŹđ§đ
Haha thanks Mark
Get you both over here to Ireland, and your channel will grow for suređ
I know Kenny, still not found a van but when we have, we can't wait to visit.
I follow many van life channels on CZcams including yours and they do live chats for about an hour or so. They get many donations via the live chat feed from subscribers and is a great way to respond and communicate to your audience live. No editing involved so that's also a win win. I've witnessed totals of over ÂŁ1000 during these live chats. Defo worth looking into. All the very best Ricky đđđ
Thanks Ricky, I think this is something we are going to try but Helen is worried I might say something politically incorrect!! đŹ
@@bythecurbI hope you do
Why not put a link to your eBay site. You might be able to sell a few bits to the viewers to fund your travels đđœ
Weâd support your Patreon channel to see extra video content. đ€ Loved the âfinding the right camera angleâ in the van section! Hilarious! đ Been fans from your very first van-life vlog! đ Good luck & safe travels. đ Cheers Cally & John đșđ·
Thanks Cally & John, I appreciate your support. I think I might set up a Patreon but Helen is not convinced. I think we will have a 'meeting' about it đ
Hi, as everyone has been saying love how open and honest you always are. The idea of a patreon is good, but as someone else mentioned for a small cost, as a rehabilitation Support worker I am only on basic wage, but happy to help out if I can. Definitely design some stickers, we would be happy to purchase one. Stay safe, we look forward to your next video.
Thanks Joanne, I've seen some other youtubers do it and have discussed it with Helen but she's not keen on the idea so might try some merchandise to start and try to support a local business at the same time.
@bythecurb Good idea test the waters first with a few items of merchandise. I'm sure many of your subscribers will be happy to purchase some form of merchandise from you. Knowing Helen she will have some good ideas for designs for you to use. Look forward to seeing the ideas you guys create together đ
Making money from CZcams is obviously a great bonus if you can make it happen. In your position I'd see how things go with the base income you have from your other work. Being happy and in control of it all without feeling too overly bogged down has to be priority. You wanna keep enjoying it as much as possible and create stuff that you feel has integrity. I think you're doing that pretty well now and expect your channel will grow. People are curious about your income cos a LOT would probably love to have a bash at your life... You're a standard bearer for a lot who I'm sure are rooting for ya! Good hearing your musings as usual!
Thanks Dave, I appreciate that, it's something I'd considered for a while and I still worry if I've done the right thing. I've turned down a couple of really well paid full time jobs, but I just couldn't stand being part of the rat race. I'm loving the van life but it's like we are all conditioned to feel guilty if we're not constantly chasing money.
â@@bythecurb - I hear ya mate... hard to go against the grain. Too much will never be enough for some but it will still be too much - you can't take it with you and you can't use it to buy back the time you wasted getting it... just my take.
â@@davealexander7101Well said totally agree đ.
@@bythecurb Don't feel guilty bud. Remember, when the Gov't feels like it, they tell us our work is 'non-essential' and we should all stay home!
Hi James, looking forward to when you get your new van and do it up.
I'm not keen on patreon really, it seems to spilt viewers in two, those in the group and those on the outside who cant afford it.
Just my thoughts.
Enjoyed this vlog very honest.â€
Thanks Helen, that's the last thing I'd want to do, I'll discuss it in detail with Helen
â@@bythecurb Thanks for the reply. I wish some firm would give you a brand new van.
Hi James great insight in to what you do and loved that you put some vanlife and a fanatic walk in
Love your honesty and wit â€đ
Thank you Andy
I think it's nice to have a variety of work/income projects and maybe then it's not boring and you're more inclined to want to do it. I love your English countryside and seeing you all out there on your hikes. I follow One Man and His Whippet and he does a lot of hiking with the dogs. That would be great to see you do meet-ups with other van dwellers whether it be camping or pub crawls. I don't really see that on channels in the UK like in the US, maybe I'm just not aware of their channels. If you are up for a Patreon account then go for it but I do here people say it's a lot of extra work. I know Foresty Forest just quit his Patreon because it was just becoming too much work and he couldn't get enough time to enjoy what he really wanted to do. You'll figure it out in time what works best for you, but in the mean time I really enjoy what you all ready have done with your channel, it's a keeper! Thanks James
Thanks Adele, I love Foresty Forest and saw that he gave up Patreon which surprised me, but if it was getting too much for him then I totally understand. I'd love to do some van life meet ups and will definitely be arranging something soon.
I've delayed looking at this video because I wasn't sure about the title. If you get some advertising/work/money out of it then that's fine. If it encourages others to join the van life that's fine. If it's just people being bloody nosy - that's really not fine. Don't feel you have to tell people everything - that's none of their business! Just ignore them or ask them what they do and how much they make before you share any info!
good on ya, James. The channel IS you and Helen and not the latest product review. Keep on doing what you are doing. much respect- Kenny
Thanks Kenny
Thanks for sharing so openly. Do what feels right for you in regards to CZcams.
Hope you both have a great week đ
Thank you! đ
It wonât put ppl off duck u having ads. We love the channel anyway. Really interesting vlog thanks for sharing James. Lisa â€
Thanks Lisa, I will have some small unintrusive sponsorship deals at some point but only if I like the product and it fits with the channel
I would deffo by a 'By the curb' sticker for my campervan...could be a talking point when seeing other people with them!!
Thanks Sharon, I'll look into it
Come 24 Arundel road to buy lots of antiques, loft full of em we done so much car boot shopping, we need to clear it for cheap
So nice to hear that you have integrity when making your decision about promoting products. It also shows when you have integrity to an audience. Keep up the good work enjoys your vids.
Thank you
I've just brought an e bike, there brilliant, I've got bad arthritis and it's so helpful
Really enjoyed that blog interesting knowing how you make money ange
I don't think it's any business how you earn money I just like to watch your videos just my opinion đ
Thanks Andrew
Love to see you guys walk round a car boot, maybe an option..
I think that would be a good video but would mean I have to get up early!! đŹ
I used to collect pedal car's as a hobby austin j40s and triang. My aunty had an antique shop in Bridlington it was quite big i love looking around them. Theres quite a few here in rawtenstall Lancashire but very expensive, loving the vids James.
Thanks Ste, I've had a few triang railway pieces over the years but It's quite a specialist subject!
A full time sponsor sounds about the best, im sure the odd product might be worth doing a plug/opening thing đđđđ
We donât watch television anymore (with the exception of special events eg The Coronation etc). I only watch CZcams as itâs more entertaining and informative. We have 3 đș but they are ornamental lol. Your channel is good because itâs how the normal man lives in general and tunes in to what I enjoy watching (true crime, van life, first class travel experiences, cooking, old 70âs 80âs TV, etc anything that springs to mind really). Iâve paid before for Patron but after a few monthly subscriptions stopped because it offered little more than the normal CZcams viewing. I feel with you and Helen that you have become âfriendsâ someone that we can relate to. Your recent Benidorm on a budget experience was top class. Thank you
Thank you, that's so nice. We are all friends on this channel đ
I am almost 80 and I envy you, I have always loved motorhoming but no longer, my wife would not accept this lifestyle so itâs 4 walls for now, I wish you well in the future will be following your travels with envy
Thank you đâ€ïž
Good on you , i couldnât handle another van life portable power station video. Saying that , if youâve got one to plug , go for it ..
I've been offered quite a few now and I always say - 'send one, I'll use it and review it honestly but I'm not going to make a promotional video'
Great video James , intreasting to no how you earn your income ,obviously the more likes you get and subscribers you get your earn more and you should for the time you put into your channel. Wish you all the best for your future.đkeep safe đ
Thanks Darrin
you come across as a genuine fella James (as does your missus) stay honest to yourself, you will prosper. I stumbled across your stuff last week, subscribed straight away. Many more will
Thank you and thanks for subscribing :-)
I know the income important, but we like the channel just the way you send it , entertaining and fun. Good channel
Well youve gain another 3,5 k subscribers since this video so your doing something right. I enjoy yours and Helens enjoyment of life. Nice to hear your honesty and keeping your integrity when earning your daily bread. Keep up the good work
Thank you đ
Thanks for reminding me. I love Chimay too!
Only just come across your channel thanks to your Benidorm vlogs. So just looking back at your previous vlogs⊠what a great down to earth guy you seem to be. Looking forward to following your journey. Thanks for sharing
Thank you and thanks for watching đ
†rock on being yourself, wish is was happy to be as open as you ,!
Thanks Matt
Jump on the live streams one a week or whatever youâll get donations through that and also what your viewers want to see next etc.
A few people have suggested that, I think it is something we should try so watch this space!
Hi, I enjoyed your latest video. You asked for some suggestions, so, seeing as you are experienced in ecommerce, why don't you use your unit to stock up on some items you find handy in van life and hiking and sell them through your website and print your logo things such as travel mugs, water bottles and flasks etc. You can also print your own stickers and put one in with each purchase.
Thanks, that's a great idea. We thought of t shirts and hoodies etc but travel mugs would be great too
Nice area for a walk, don't know if you are aware but you can drop down to Grindleford railway station where a reasonably priced large full English awaits. The most valuable thing anyone can posses is their personal integraty.
Loved it thank you đ
Whats the name of your ebay shop if you don't mind me asking
P.S your videos are not to long for many of us we love watching and listening to you đ
Hi Julie, if you drop me an email at james@bythecurb.co.uk I'll share it but I'm a little bit cautious about sharing it on CZcams
I have never understood materialism the need to own useless trinkets.
All i own has a productive use anything else is clutter.
True mate
love every video ,You know how much we love Helen but I have enjoyed these videos where you open yourself up to us.I think the Patreon thing is a good Idea but one chanel I became a patron of didn't give hardly any additional content I would defo be a patreon member of yours butI think the cost needs to be carefully considered.I know I'm tight but I think ÂŁ5 is reasonable fcos with the additional costs it would be about ÂŁ6 a month .and at this sort of figure I wouldn't expect many additional benefits I would do it to support you and H.
regards Harry
Thanks Harry, people seem to be 50/50 on the patreon idea so I might leave it for a little longer
Another very enjoyable video. Just shows, you don't need Helen to make a watchable episode (although believe me, she helps!) It's interesting to hear the details of the income you get from CZcams. Not many people are as honest and open about this stuff. Love the way you're always saying you'll have to edit bits out, and yet there it is in final vid. Makes me wonder how much you do actually edit out.
Thank you, I edit loads out đ
Great video Jamesđđ».
Very good to watch as always beautifull walk we went on with you nice to see the things you do to earn a few Bob I only ask as I'd love to be a full time van person and wonder what to do to get an income so very I formative thankyou you are fabulousđ
Thanks Joanne, Im glad you liked it
Thanks John
Thanks for sharing the information about your income streams. Your channel is very different from a lot of other van life channels. Patreon Accounts can alienate normal subscribers so be cautious. Who knows in 2024 there could be a Bythecurb festival?
That would be awesome! Helen could do the entertaining and I'd be the DJ đ
Good to see that cooperate businesses are getting refused. Well done this man đđđđ€đŒ
Enjoyed yr content am a collector myself was yr stall in elsecar heritage centre keep on with yr channel easy on the ear you lad
Thank you, my unit was in Sheffield Antique Centre
@@bythecurb look like elsacar mate great channel lad local mysen keep up with organic content
Also like the Idea of stickers and hoodies ,although al the other chanels seem to charge quite a lot for clothes because they com from an additional marketing Company (like I said before ,I'm tight but will pay for good value) good luck with your decisions
Thanks Harry
Stop thinking Only of money son, life is more important than you tube! Don't get carried away with Patreon when money is right tight for most. Just be Organic and let it happen, you have a new van to build/buy for content and people waiting to see it. I admire your morals and good sense on blatant advertising by channels bud!
Thanks, I'm sure the van build will bring lots more views/subscribers etc It's a real fine line as I'm not at all interested in accumulating money but I've still got some bills to pay and two children to support!
@@bythecurb I can see and understand your predicament but as I say You got it going in the right direction, you're both thinking of new stuff to do, your funny and having fun whilst you do it so enjoy the trip. The extra money will help and you deserve every penny, but i'm not one to watch Grifters. Cheers
Didn't have my glasses on, thought you're thumbnail, was you leaning out of the van taking pictures! đź
You have eyesight like mine! đ
Me n the lady have walked up there a few times! You never know we might bump into you one day in the peaks as we live in Totley and are always up and around that way. We once tried stealth camping in a hammock in those woods in the valley (Burbage plantatation) but the trees where way creaky and loose in the boggy soil so we moved on... We usually walk around the top side either stanage edge way or higger tor for a short one as I hate walking up hills. Anyway, Stick at it youth!
Thank you, we love it up there, especially higger tor
Newbie here love your channel and your integrity breath of fresh air. đ
Thank you Carole, glad you like the channel đ
Your just so down to earth James â€
Thank you đ
I used to be a freelance web developer and problems with plugins rang a bell although I used Joomla
I presume your van insurance company are aware that youâre earning an income whilst doing CZcams videos - not being a kill joy but some companies take a dim view
Anyway another cracking northern video keep it up
Need some more Reeves and Mortimer references next time please :-)
Thanks Steve, that's a good point and knowing insurance companies, they'd find any excuse they can to get out of paying!! Thanks for the heads up!
Great vid James. Thanks for sharing your private finance incomes for all us nosey gits lol. Gutted you didn't end up in water though lol. Only kidding! I think the noise you heard was a grouse not a Cuckoo. Lou & Chris (de-da's)
Thanks Lou and Chris. It would have made great content.
Great video James but it's just dawned on me you look a bit like Clive James đđ
He was a very handsome chap
Weâve been watching you from the beginning of your channel. We thought how good would it be to bump into such good fun company who van life. That thought has never changed, what a lovely fun couple. Youâre true to yourselves, very refreshing. So on that note, why not make content true to you. Antiques/bric-Ă -brac buying and selling, how much fun would that be. Following you while you search, source, purchase and sell. Car boots, flea markets and jumbles. That would be brilliant. Hope to bump into you one day.
Thanks Colette, we plan on making all different types of content over the next few weeks
Iâd love to support the channel and the Patreon thing would very much depend on cost. Times are tough and it would need to be a nominal amount for me at least but I do really like the idea of being part of a community.
Your bike review video was great fun but I wouldnât want to see lots of review videos. Itâs not what your channelâs about. An occasional one if it can be done in your own style would be okay, but ultimately you do what you need to do.
Thanks Nikki, I need to have a meeting with Helen about Patreon because she's not too keen!!
@@bythecurb I donât think itâs ideal to be honest and thereâd be the potential for it to become a bit cliquey/them and us if your Patreon subscribers had access to things such as meet ups that your ordinary subscribers did not.
Also merchandise is a bit of a funny one. From what Iâve seen on other channels itâs massively expensive which I do understand as things are produced on an ad hoc basis, but I wouldnât pay ÂŁ15 for a mug or ÂŁ25 for a t-shirt etc. Too much money for poor quality items.
God love you, you do you sod the shitty companies, I love your adlibs and Helens so funny, we love ya both â€
Thanks June
Hi James as always brilliant regards Howard from Cyprus
Thanks Howard
love sam smiths, weird pubs no music or owt , but great beer ..... got a nice painting for sale at the mo, think its a Rembrandt ? going cheap
You'll be quids in mate!
Top bloke! Some folks ainât half nosey wanting to know about the financials đ Hopefully itâs onwards and upwards for you and Hel. Canât wait for the journey! You guys are the kind weâd all like to go for a pint with⊠or 2⊠or 3! Come the content cominâ Lovejoy! đ€đ»
Thanks Jason
Patreon is an great idea, build your tribe, meet ups etc that would be good, it worked well for Ash of âLost in Europeâ
Merch also a good idea, beer mugs đ», stickers, hoodyâs
You both have so much positive potential to grow this channel!
Cheers
John & Cally đ»
Thanks, I will check that channel out
My advice would be if you both enjoy filming it then keep on doing it. I have just started doing some oil landscape painting myself and am thinking considering doing a CZcams channel of my art work over time. But I really have enjoyed your videos especially the pub drinking any good beers you recommend ? I'm a lager and ale man myself, who can't beat fish and chips, proper beer batter as well , keep up with the good work on the channel looking forward to be seeing the next ones đđđđ
If you ever land up in Batley and fancy a pint let me know.
(I wouldn't recommend batley but you can have use of my drive đ)
Thanks Ashley, appreciate that
Another great video đ thank you for sharing
Well done, keep your video free and great.
You're right about integrity. Combine that with personality and charisma and I'm not even sure content really matters, it's more like meeting your (virtual) mates in the pub for some banter. People can see these qualities in others and it's watchable. I watch a bloke with nearly 100K subs review bloody fishfingers but I don't watch any TV.
That was good, someone leaving that bottle of beer on the wall for ye đ
keep going cocker u r doing brill ,me & the enemy(mrs)love watching u both so thanks 4 the laughs.đđđđ„đșđž
Thank you so much, that is very kind of you đđ
Go too Dagfieils in Staffordshire full of things collectables people would like Wedgwood Doulton beautiful china but maybe you know about that
Hi, a very honest and open vlog which gives us a little bit more insight into the true you. I love the fact you're not sacrificing cash for integrity. The e-Bike was a great vlog to be honest. I think we all know the product placing you mean. To be honest the ads do my head in so I'm premium anyway. Most of the channels I watch (mostly wood working / shooting ) do have a patreon accounts. I think merchandise is worthwhile as long as it's decent quality ....most I know use a third party and the t shirts are so thin and printing is crap before it's washed.....and was ÂŁ29 plus post. It's that shit I haven't worn it.
So I think as long as you can keep the quality good đđ» it's a winner đ
Keep up the great work đ
G đŠ
Thanks Gary, I'm premium too and would rather pay that than Netflix or any other of the tv subscriptions. re - the merchandise, I will try some local firms out so I can test the shirt quality
Really enjoy your content keep it coming!
Can you do vid on training diet and getting into hiking for men over 40 seem to have some good hacks must have lot tips all the best Paul from London keep up the good work đ
Thanks Paul, that's a good idea, I've added that to my list and will definitely do that
@@bythecurb cheers đ»
none of their business how you earn money imo. nice to see you out walking.
Good video once again. Go ahead with Patreon mate, will give you a nice bit of cash for the new van đ
Thank you, I'll need it with the price of all the stuff these days
Interesting video James. Now we know what makes you tick. You are funny and so are lots of your followers, you only have to look at their comments here. Keeping it real.đ
Thanks Linda, it's great I really feel like we have a lovely community here, especially now the trolls have gotten tired and moved on!!
Iâd be a patreon and have a van life meet up ! Especially if you come down to devon, especially Plymouth and I will take you both on a top pub crawl đ
Love your open & honest approach to your channel James. People really appreciate that I'm sure. I also love the hillwalking (not hiking) footage you & Helen do đđŽó §ó ąó ·ó Źó łó ż
Thanks Glenn, appreciate that
Another ace video! I love your honesty and if something is shit, you will say so! Am a bit like that đ€Ł i want to grow my channel (like everyone does) am just gonna keep plugging away and you never know đ one of the best shots today was the clip of Poundbakery.......love that shop đ keep up the good work sir đ© i have Betty stickers but tend to give them away!
Thanks mate, where did you get the stickers? Your van is coming on really well btw
Mate your videos are very entertaining just keep on being yourself and if you want to go down a different route with the channel you do it but dont sell out and get too big lolđ€
Thank you, I'd never sell out!! đ
Hi James I may have a nice few antique bits that you may be interested in, ie furniture, and other stuff of interest, itâs worth a look James . Let me know if you are interested as there is possibly a job lot there. Many thanks. Harry
Hi Harry, if you email me james@bythecurb.co.uk I'll have a look for you
Hi James thanks for your reply, if you want me to take pictures of some of the stuff I have give me a couple of weeks as Iâm away on holiday on Friday but when I get back I shall be in touch. Cheers. Keep up the good work.
a croissant 9:13 is a pasty without the meat. đđđđđđ
Hi James. Been viewing your channel for a bit now. Find it very interesting how you're getting on living in a van, must be so freeing.
You mentioned websites, do you still design/create them? I'd be interested. If you are let me know!
Thanks and be well
Hi, I've not really built a website for a few years. I made some ecommerce sites for different companies but that was more as a freelancer on a weekly basis because they take a lot of time to complete and need ongoing maintenance. What sort of thing are you looking for? I could maybe give some advice. You can contact me here - james@bythecurb.co.uk
Hi James mate âŠhope ya well bud ,enjoying the bank holiday âŠdonât ever change what you do and what you are, on your vlogs âŠ.the reason I watch is for your good looking girlfriend HelenâŠ.KIDDING đ€Łđ€ŁI watch to see maybe where to go with my other half for a drive and a bite to eat âŠ.take care mate ,from up here in Allerton Bywater nea4 castlefordđđđș
Thanks Mark, we're off out on Friday night for a meal and will take the camera along too.
Very enjoyable đđđ
Loved the intro
Thank you
That was the longest 4 miles ever..I think you must have done at least 8!đ .
As for earning money,I like the merchandise side,van stickers,t shirts,that sort of stuff.
Fully agree about the only excepting offers for products that you feel are good & that your audience will likely want to buy.
Another fabulous upload đ.. any look finding a van yet?
Also just thought, what about reaching out to one of the pre packed weekly meal subscription services, that would be great to see how that would work with van life and you could combine it with wanting to get healthier etc.
It would be interesting to see if its even possible to make those meals up on camp cooking set up.just a thought & you could say "" this video is sponsored by (whoever they are lol)..5 birds with 1 stone eh đ
Jane - that's a bloody brilliant idea, I love it and will get straight on with that!! Thank you! đ đ
â@@bythecurb Your welcome, I'm so intrigued to see if its doable with limited space etc...can't wait to watch the update on itđ
Drew Pritchard is in the click / occult ( hidden) societies. Thatâs why he gets to go to the place not available to the surfs. Itâs a big club and we ainât in it.
Alas, our James has something that Pritchard could never buy, a genuine personality.
Yeah, I wondered how he finds all these places
đđł Thanks mate
You wouldnât want to be in itâŠ
