    Hey! I’m Christian Schaffer, and I’ve lived on the road full-time since May 2018. This journey began in 2013 when I left the corporate world to build my career as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. After 14 months of SUV living - I bought the van I now call home. Van life enables me to experience and document the beauty of our natural world, while also having my home and office nearby. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey, you might be inspired to hit the road or spend more time outdoors. Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road 🚐
    *My van is a 2019 Ram ProMaster 1500 High Roof, 136" WB with 52K miles*

    The invisible stick is really cool and simultaneously oddly disconcerting or at least distracting.... in a brain tickle sort of way.😂 Eventually, I'd stop noticing that it's "not there"!

    Hi Christian - you're spoiling us with two full videos posted in the space of a week. Hope you're build is imputing some great ideas for the van make-over with some bespoke custom features (walk-in wardrobe 😁) The underwater shots are a great addition to your portfolio though the pink pastel clouds in the intro always welcome - I always enjoyed free diving off St Lucia photographing yellow tang fish off the reefs with a disposable under-water camera - some of the best shots ever! Your break from the van build looked so chilled and deserved.

    • @ChristianSchaffer

    Hey, Christian...I know this was primarily an instruction video (it was very informative), but it was also a little trip down memory lane for me as I lived at Tahoe for 7 years quite a while ago. I lived on the North Shore in the Crystal Bay/ Incline Village area and worked at the Hyatt. The sight of that deep blue water will always strike an awe inspiring nerve in me, as a day never went by that I didn't look out and marvel at the view, no matter the season. Great to see you.....all the best.....Jim

      @@ChristianSchaffer Yeah, that would be a sight to see! They're all so rounded so I assume at one point they were being carried and formed by glaciers. When the glaciers melted some were deposited in the lake bottom and some on the mountainsides, many of which rolled down into the lake. Tahoe water still looks very clean as it did years ago when I was there. Enjoy...
