I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos (in this case: amber light doesn't attract bugs). Also, I have to give a huge shoutout to Joe for providing the full breakdown and total costs. A lot of us always wonder what certain van builds cost to get up and running and although this one is on the high side, it's evident they didn't skimp on anything! Everything is done professionally and the design has great purpose. Love it.

I believe in having a good work ethic, and having a steady job is not a bad thing. But there is more to life than that and I just love stories like these. Because it reminds me that the daily grind has a limit. And at some point you have to make a decision. Great video!

Excellent comment. I think it takes a great work ethic to build and maintain a van to live in and to have done what Joe explained about saving. I do not but think "work ethic" is about the TYPE of work. It can't be. The term was coined at the start of t he protestant church when most of the work we do today did not exist ;) peace.

Joe, what a fantastic job you did on designing the inside placement of things. I love to see when a person has good organizational skills. Your inside of van is so beautiful and homey. Love the artwork on your cabinet doors. The dog is so cute! He/she must make a wonderful traveling companion. That stream you shot was beyond perfect and called to me so strongly. You can't even hope to find such a perfect stream anywhere near where I live. It made me feel the call of the wild so very keenly. Wonderful video. You both are very talented. Thank you for sharing.

"Live deliberately". Great take away. Been collecting build vids for a year now and yours is number one. Turning sixty nine next month and I just bought a new MB 4x4 cargo Van. I'm now starting the build so I can take my own permanent road trip for as long as this body holds out. Thanks for the inspiration. Keeping the house as a back up plan and renting it out so I can have some passive income while on the road. SS will help as well. Can't say I'm escaping the corporate world as I've had my own photography business my entire life but a job is still a job. Now I can shoot what I want to instead of what my clients want. Perhaps our paths will cross on the road one of these days. Thanks guys.

Dylan, I have watched several of your videos and just recently subscribed. I enjoy your personality and the fact that what you produce is fun to watch. I have seen 100's, if not thousands, of videos and what strikes me most about yours is the excellence of the presentation. You have a great eye and the audio/video quality is outstanding. I learn a lot from KZfaq but, honestly, some of it is almost painful to watch. Yours are quite refreshing on the other hand. If I ever decide to vlog my experiences on the road I will constantly be asking myself the question, "How would Dylan Magaster present this?" Are you self taught or have you studied your art for years. Keep 'me coming. Thanks.

I've noticed that in your videos, the people that you cover, you let them do all the talking, explaining, and I very much like that idea. If I even ran across a subject that I wanted to cover and make a video out of it, I too would let the people do all of the talking. It really works out nice that way, and gives you time to set up your camera gear and use, throughout the interview. You're a great inspiration Dylan, and I wish you much more success, along with much inner peace. :-) ✌
