    Kelly you are too funny 🌞 So happy to see you two are having fun 🌞

    @zhkopec Před 5 lety +7

    The best type of van walkthroughs are like this where after 5yrs you've modified and found the best practices from trial and error. I gotta do a similar one soon.

    So good to see you Brian. You’ve been on my mind a lot the last few days and been wondering if everything was OK with you. Even said a few prayers for your safety. Hope to see you again soon. Nice to see your setup too thanks for the video.

    What a fun and informative video tour, Brian. I love the rapport between you and Kelly. And it was so great to see all the features of your van, including all the upgrades and mods you've made. You have such a positive attitude and it's wonderful that you found a partner as adventurous as Kelly. For anyone who thinks Brian had vanished, you should follow his Instagram account as well as Kelly's (wildwanderland). It looks like you are having a grand time this summer, Brian. So happy for you!

    So good seeing you, sorry people aren’t nice. Never can understand someone being mean to you, such a lovely young man. Just adorable guy. Keep her out of the picture, hate her to be hurt. Be happy, glad you have someone in your life, enjoys what you love doing. Take care, be safe Linda

    Hey Brian good to see you making a video again I don't know why everybody's acting so surprised you told us about a month ago you needed some time for yourself and some time to slow down and stop worrying about making videos and actually get a chance to look around and spend for yourself

    • @katz2912
      @katz2912 Před 5 lety +2

    I loved this video. The banter between you and your gf made me smile. The video before this one was uplifting as well. "We're not here for a long time, were here for a good time" was a wake up call for me.

    @33Jenesis Před 4 lety

    Brian’s channel is the first I’ve found several years ago when I first got interested in van life. He’s still my fave because he never glamorizes his rig or lifestyle, just presents it in a simple honest way. Congrats on 5 years and wish you safe and healthy always.

    Nice tour and great use of interior van space. So much storage area, surprising.

  • @catzcradle
    @catzcradle Před 5 lety +4

    Great video that covers some of what it takes to live in a van. I remember my first month in my van, being black and blue having hit my head, elbows and knees numerous times until I worked out the dimensions of the van. 🤪 Eventually it all smoothed out and now I see all the reaching, stretching, and grabbing as a living yoga workout that's keeping me in shape. I also use swim noodles for various things in my Westfalia. In the winter I used them to hold up the Mylar bubble wrap insulator panels that I have made for the pop top walls :-) I love it when Van lifers think outside of the box (No pun intended) and share it with us! Thanks again for the great informational video! I'm looking forward to your next one, whenever it comes :-)

    Thank you so much for your return ! We have missed you! I'm trying to get ready for some travel as I have now retired. I have a 2012 E150 partially built out, but wasn't satisfied, and your video will be my new inspiration! I have followed your channel for a few years and have one of your stickers already on my back window! May God bless you and your journey to "Peace and Long Life."
    "Amazing" Again, Thank you so much for everything !!

    You are truly simplistic in living. Pool noodle & a couple clamps to complete bed/couch. I wasn’t aware of the diesel furnace, those look ideal as they don’t spew out a bunch of moisture. Thanks for the update always great to see you.
