My First Night Out In The Van

If you've been following me for a while on social media, or this CZcams channel, you'll know that I've slowly built out a 2003 T1N Mercedes Sprinter Van.
And the time has FINALLY come to share my very first night out in the van!
Ever since I traveled to Norway in 2022 running around in a van, I knew this is what I wanted. So starting this van life era of the channel is monumental to me.
My first night in the van I take it to the Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon, with some not so favorable conditions.
And with the weather looking gloom, and experiencing some on location difficulties with the van itself, I still couldn't believe just how good this quick trip became.

Elias, so glad to see you finally got the van out! You can plan all you want but you will always find something later like why didn't I think of that. Like all projects you will be adjusting as you go along. You needs might change or whatever that's just part of it. Bummer about the door not working right but I'm sure you got it fixed right away. As always I enjoyed the photography that you did get. I know you are always wanting "The perfect light", but you know what there is a special beauty in the imperfect light as well. I think the shots you got were great. Great job and can't wait to see where you two go next.

Man appreciate it Thomas as always🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am definitely trying to do more “moody” photography actually, so you are 100% right!
The latch took me a week to figure out lmao, but we got it squared away!
