Got some comments saying this video is sad, thats wasn’t the intention and I am not Sad 😂 just a peaceful day on the road.

These videos are great. You mentioned in a recent video that you were concerned about putting stuff in that we would think is boring, but I think you underestimate how interested some of us are in the lifestyle holistically. It’s like a documentary for us; none of it’s boring to me! I’d be interested in hearing more about how you maintain your relationships while living largely alone as a nomad; that is something I can’t really wrap my head around.

A lot of people may say this boring or lonely. But in my opinion this is the dream for me. What you’re doing is my ultimate goal in life. So peaceful and beautiful. Keep it up man

As someone who actually enjoys being alone this video is so enjoyable for me ❤

Ryan makes videos that cater to everyone; he makes travel vlogs of exciting places, simple videos about his van, and ones such as this one, that just silently showcase what it’s like to be in his shoes. Ryan is awesome

These videos are always soothing and calming, always positive vibes and fun adventures.

Ryan you define alone and lonely perfect. You are in constant state of traveling and connecting in between your preparation in sharing with each of us. Your style is one to look at as healthy. You take time to connect with family by going home to Maryland (I live there!) and the friends you make are amazing. Your sharing I believe has allowed so many to be take a mental break like this. Yes it can be scary to expensive and you give all the great information in your video’s/. Alone is what you are doing or maybe call it SOLO. Seems so much healthier in sound. When someone is truely lonely they have nothing to look forward to. The lack of energy is so apparent in their appearance to attitude. You are doing a great service to so many who are thinking of disconnecting frrom the proverbial rat race. Stay safe. We love your journey.

My wife and I have a VERY busy house cleaning company and when we are all done for the day, we find your videos being so relaxing and perfect for unwinding. This one you produced was amazing. Thank you 😊

This chap is living the life for sure. Peaceful, active, organised. Love it

You’re not alone! You got us with you every step of the way!!! Stay safe brother!!

My god, I absolutely LOVE that peace and quiet of nature while having dinner!

The nearly ubiquitous stack of dirty dishes in the sink in so many of his videos - classic! How I miss pulling up to a remote camp spot nobody had used in forever, just me and the campfire, the stars at night, the wind, a quick swim in a nearby lake or river perhaps, a camp cooked meal which was always more than I ever did at home. This was my church for years of my life.

Bro... Nothing about this is sad... Its actually entertaining to watch you live on a van and carry on that lifestyle for that long. Some people can't do it. I know i can't... I salute you bro.

I don’t know why this type of silent video is so captivating, but I could watch for hours. Very peaceful to go to sleep to also! Thanks for sharing!

So peaceful and beautiful, all of it. From the amazing views of mountains and stars, to the sounds of the desert, to the sounds and movements of cooking, cleaning and preparing for each moment of van life. Living minimally forces you to slow down and be mindful and grateful, I think, and you captured that beautifully. Thanks for sharing your journey!

very quiet and peacful. it takes alot of mental strength to be alone that much for a long time. love the videos dude!

Appreciate the time you take to set up cameras to record footage of you exploring the landscapes and also getting out of bed to turn them on then getting back in bed so they record you waking up. Makes us viewers feel like we’re there watching you in your natural state.

This video was phenomenal! The editing is spot on. It must have been so hard to do this without talking to the camera. Amazing story telling without words!

I love these kinds of videos. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all your content and hearing your plans and ups and downs through your journey, but these solemn kinds of videos are always a nice reminder of what it's really like and I really appreciate that. Edit: Also, from one cook to another, I love seeing the kinds of dishes you make while out there on the road. Always puts a smile on my face.

The thing I’ve come to realize about being a fan of these type vids is I love seeing someone else’s plans and routines in action while I sit on my ass.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this video for the simple reason that, the peacefulness that you convey to the viewer is simply enviable. I have always said, I Don't Mind being alone, but feeling lonely is devastating for me. This is one of the reason's I admire those like yourself, who decided to try the Van-life and get to enjoy all of the beautiful places, that USA has to offer us without any rush. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos

As an introverted person with social anxiety and depression. Van life is like close to being perfect

Agreed, very peaceful and excellent editing to show some of those Zen moments while being out in the wild, alone. Love this spot!

Exactly type of video's I like, it actually inspires me to live like that. Now I'm young, but in few years I really want to build myself a campervan. As I'm ok with small space and I can make compromises, and I'm highly introverted, I think I'm gonna enjoy it with all it's pros and cons. Thanks for these videos and your perspective

I'm so tied down to many responsibilities at home and work. This looks like a welcome reprieve from the daily grind I deal with in the city. For a few days, I just want to explore the country, live a simpler life, and focus on myself. Thanks for sharing.

Love the calmness and peacefulness of this video. Sometimes its good to just be in the moment.

I usually don't like videos without some kind of talking, but I understand why Ryan did it this way. Informative in its own way.

I love these videos. This type of nomadic living seems like pure joy, especially the solitude of it. Max respect!!

Your videos are great and thank you for showing the entire day, the cooking, cleaning, and everything that you have to do to live in a van.

I love all your videos, I find these ones to be really comforting, thank you for sharing.

I'm living vicariously through you and I'm enjoying every video. Thanks man.

Another great episode Ryan! Stay strong and safe on your journey. Thanks for bring us all along.

This "what vanlife alone" video, is a completely different vibe to the other ones. I think Ryan shows how much appreciatiation he has for it in this type of video, where as the other ones did feel kinda sad cuz we felt bad for you. But like i said the story you told in this video made a clear understanding how you take it seriously, and you treat your van like your own home (duh) lol. Ofcoarse it may be bittersweet not seeing friends or family, but we can see that you admire the trade-off of all the amazing places you get to see! Love this video, and even more how different it is from your vlogs, ofcourse you documentarying what goes on in your day, or your recipe for the mouth watering camp fire cooked burrito are even awesome, but i like how you do something different in your videos every day (quite literally). 💖

Love the silent videos - makes me really appreciate your narration. Loving this road trip mate, keep up the good work!

I love these day in the life videos. Relaxing to watch

It is such an amazing video. I love to hear the real life sounds the fire, traffic, footsteps, even gaming :) etc. Also i think that it is great way to show how is life for someone alone. Keep it up.. Cheers!!

I like both style videos, I'm really interested in buying a van and converting it. I've got a really decent paying job right now and I'm banking some serious cash, videos like these only encourage me to take the leap even more. Great work Ryan, keep them coming.

Hey Ryan! Hope your travels are going well! Appreciate the advice you gave me on your stream 🎉

Man, the quality of your videos just keep getting better. Love them. Stay safe on the road!

Super chill video! This is my favorite video you have posted. Hats off to you for editing all those short clips! Was really neat to see the other half :) keep up the good work sir! Stay safe and drive on🖖🏼

Love your videos! So chill watching from bed after a stressing day at work. Greetings from Norway.

Loving these, Ryan. your videos are so soothing to watch. Keep up the uploads i'll be waiting for it

Loved the change up from the usual content! Always love the normal videos but this is a cool change of pace. Keep it up man and safe travels!

you are not alone.we all here watching your journey!❤

I really liked how you changed things up by not talking at all (except at cracker barrel) in this video. Solid work 💪

Absolutely love these kind of videos! They give me peace & make me want to hit the road & explore this country.

Watching your videos makes all the better to watch really enjoying your journey.

Here's EVERY video... wake up... drive drive drive drive drive someplace.... have dinner... go to bed.... repeat. One of the saddest videos was where you didn't go to Mexico. You constantly put yourself on such a time schedule, here at 11, here at 2, here at 3 - you need to RELAX and spend a couple three days in a place and visit the area/sites - which you do not do.

My opinion, it's not sad, It is interesting. It can be an encounter with yourself or whatever, far away from noises. Love it. Greetings from Brazil! 👊

Thanks for the views of the scenery (And the recipe ideas)! More of both please.

Great video.... I also camp alone.. I love it... it's totally freedom.. no drama... refreshing the soul mind and spirit... beautiful everywhere.. thanks for sharing your story... looking forward to seeing more...

This looks the best time ever. I am so ready to get away from the hustle of it all and relax. Something about cooking on a fire takes all my stress away too. Great job Ryan!

Love the peace and serenity in your videos big fella.

Aloha Ryan - Even when not a word is spoken…..it’s a great time to be had. How wonderful to live an empowered lifestyle that people like me only dream of. Thank you for taking us on adventures that we may never get to experience, to places we may never step foot on and those days of your “me time” is almost as if for that 14 to 15 minutes I’m having my own “me time” too.

Thank you Ryan, as I start my journey in Vanlife Your videos are appreciated.

Loved the story telling, I imagine there’s a lot of silence and very little dialogue being on the road by yourself. Much love and safe travels my dude!

The food looked great; my wife does not share my same passion for selling food at local or close-by food events that I make my living off of; I know the feeling of long days on the road working, traveling, and filming alone with a relationship at home, but we share many other passions. Our times apart make the time together so much worth it; hang in there.

So peaceful. Glad i found your video.😊

Love it. Super chill and cozy. Kinda like a ASMR-esque video.

These versions of van life are awesome. A van doesn't make your life exciting you have to make your life exciting wherever you are and whatever you are in. The showing of the daily basics of living and maintenance is great. Love when you have added brushing your teeth into the video, priceless! The gas to move those vehicles all the time, wow especially with today's gas prices. It's all a trade in. Some days will be great and you will meet some special people or see some special places. Otherwise welcome to what you are showing here. Love the videos!

I like the content showing the Solitude while you're doing your traveling it's very self-expressive keep them coming

what does a rainy van day looks like ? seems so cool to me laying in bed/cooking/playing games with the rain sound

Van life thru your eyes. Love it...

vidoe quality always on top. keep up the good work Ryan! much love from Norway

I love the kind and generous heartwarming atmosphere that you create, your kind, easygoing, warm vibe. ❤I like the essence how you live on. I need to be true to myself and find a job I am passionate about. I want to find a way to live as who I really am.

Really enjoying watching these videos at the moment keep up the good work

I love this kind of videos, its so calming to watch it :)

I lived in a camper van for one year. Your videos is EXACTLY what it’s like. It’s quite and peaceful.

Without you talking this is the first time I ever felt loneliness watching your videos . Well done.

Honestly... really sounds like a fantastic life. I'm glad you've been able to make it happen!

I love this style of videos. They're the best to play in the background while I'm gaming. Love these

Keep livin the life! While you strive, we all strive. For our intensity only defines our propensity for love.

Looks like you're doing just fine thank you for sharing

I so love van life and am very interested in doing it. However, I’m not big on hanging out solo at deserted places like the desert in no man’s land. I actually love seeing and interacting with people. Beaches and major strips would be my hang.

Always enjoy your daily videos 🖤

I love how tidy and organised this guy is. I could live easier with him in a van than I do my my partner in our house. I wish all guys were like this! Loving the videos btw :) new subscriber from the Uk. Safe travels :) ❤

Seeing that landscape often makes me wonder where they filmed the Moon Landings. Fantastic scenery, Thank you

Awesome. Simply awesome. While I sit behind my desk job in downtown Philadelphia I watch with envy! Please keep up the good work.

I am really enjoying these Alone videos. I don't think you look sad at all I think you look at peace and digging your lifestyle

These are my favorite videos. I'd love to see this style in the more urban/suburban areas too!

Love the video’s men❤ keep it up!

These are dope. I'd watch a whole series 🔥

I like this non verbal approach. Different. Sometimes less is more, and this is one of those moments.

man this is really beautiful, it looks so peaceful

Love these type of vids brotha!! gotta do more like this!!

Watching your ‘downside’ videos actually makes ambivert!me so, so happy. Like I said on Reddit in the Zombies, Run! forum: When you realize… You haven’t done Zombies, Run! in days because of total social exhaustion and then you watch a great video about the ‘downside’ of vanlife and start fantasizing about being this able to be alone whenever you fucking need to and suddenly you wish you could just drive to Idaho or somewhere for a day just to see Earth’s beauty and the epic score of doing a run from zombies from either Yellowstone River or the Grand Canyon or or or! Also, the addition of stealth camping to vanlife just got a million times cooler. And then you pretend you’re on a mission to find the other runners and do a race on the beach at the Gulf of Mexico… But they have their own vans, so if they want to party, cool, you’re reading Narnia again and going to sleep. Also, playing video games or learning guitar all day is hardly a waste of time if you have sixty gajillion followers and you will be paid to sit in your glorious kingdom all day and stream to Twitch if your van has access to the internet from the murderous 5G internet like Rocketfiber. Dude literally will just drive to Planet Fitness and park there, exercise, shower, and then stream gaming all day. How is that A DOWNSIDE? Again, I recognize that I’m an ambivert, but I still don’t see the problem with that arrangement. My van would have to have bookshelves somehow, though. And a Peleton, if I’m honest with myself. SLIGHT change from last time because nothing interesting is popping up on the menu. I have never had three wrenches idle for so long…

I think it’s so cool how you can do these kind of things and just go anywhere you want to.

Still great content... always entertained.. thank you for your time

So relaxing

After a long ass day at work, these videos are exactly what I need. Great job man.

Great video, Ryan!

Your really having a good adventure. From these alone videos you've done I've noticed one thing you should try, I class B full time myself so I'm speaking from experience. Really stick to a routine morning and Night cleaning. No eating until dishes are done and put away. It will really help keep stuff organized and also eliminate that disappointment of having to do dishes before being able to make food that I see you doing alot. You do you, if your fine with it but I think you will find it more enjoyable when stuff is ready to go.

I’m loving this kind of living 😍 peaceful serenity with a small house on wheels in the middle of nowhere beautiful 😍👍🙌🕊

Ryan, look into cast iron for oven/fire cooking. Teflon is very toxic and not meant for high heat/ over the fire cooking. Safe travels! Love your videos

Watched a video for the first time of yours moments ago, already love the vibe. Subscribed 👍

What a view!😍 what freedom!!❤

The only thing that would make this lifestyle better is a special someone who digs it just as much!

I actually enjoyed this video and all of your videos I've watched. Thank you for keeping it basic(not an insult or slam) typically people have several others traveling to film but talk about being "alone"

I've been watching vanlife videos for years and your videos came up on my feed. So glad I found your channel. I have enjoyed every video I have watched . Not one video was boring. Just started your winter playlist. Just wondering how it felt making a video without talking.

Gorgeous! Love how you always ALL CAPS “ALONE” … as if that’s the craziest part of the whole scenario. 😬 More people need to be comfortable being alone … it’s healthy! Love the content, Ryan!
