Dont see any people hosting guests in their van.

​@@Hypeman10You're right. They're normal outside hanging with their friends. 😂😂

One man’s hell is another man’s heaven. Will be working two jobs soon, hoping to save enough this year to get out of an apartment and into a van.

@@Diogenesoruise I wish you luck dude

Very true :) A lot of the vids are of people showing off their vans or greeting & chatting to whoever is around (my idea of misery), the solitary life looks peaceful, yeah a bit boring but changing scenery is super easy to do, plus just being able to roll out of bed head into a store, cook up a breakfast and be on the road within an hour!

Totally agree

So true!!

Great comment!

I liked it too

Yes!! I want to see the real deal & behind the scenes, the full use of all functions, maybe some more thoughts if it is too cold or too hot, I'm dreading winter times. I think a portabla toilet would be good to have though it doesn't take much space, I'd hate to have a brown accident because I didn't get in time to find a toilet. Also there are portable shower with pumps, one could just pop up a diy shower curtain hang the shower handle & stand outside close to a place where it's ok soap water comes into the sewage , or drying holes. One could also stand in a bukett outdoors & let the used dirty water (gray water) be collected. There are shower cabin one can build or buy as well I would opt for a toilet & shower. Unless one is very disciplined or out of necessity just buys a gym card to use their shower I think it will feel like one is always travelling And i know after a while one wants "normalcy" , but it all depends. I think the bedplace is the most important, because all one wants is to come home & lay in bed to rest or take a hot shower It all depends on what kind of person one is Seeing as it is so e pensive to just exist. I feel out of necessity & also freedom i would like the tiny home or camper/van life Most of my time & life is spent at work, the rest is just to lay in bed/sofa to recover after a work week & doing nothing with my life but watching movies to soothe myself from the slave life one lives, so I might as well just go for the vanlife I'm thinking & save on a lot of bucks & live minimalistically . Can use the money for investments that will make for an even more self provoding future, self employment, do one doesn't have to be dependent on the system, + the freedom to work whenever & wherever you want And to me i think the best thing would be no more noise from my neighbours

​@UniqueGeekFreak Yes, a Portapotty would be a necessity for me, as well. Finding a restroom in the middle of the night, every night, is a deal breaker for me, lol.

@@annehedonia156 lol exactly! I maybe opt for a compostable porta potty, I think u sprinkler saw dust on it to remove the smell, or u know when u use those country outdoors toilets, you used to pour something natural to cover the toxic waste lol

P😮😮​@@UniqueGeekFreak

Me too,I guess that's why we all are here.

Same mate, seems there are many of us out there coming out from under the rocks lol Can't wait to unplug from the system & even from tech, "I want to see mountains again, mountains! And then finish writing my book" 🙃 I miss looking at the stars

So long as you have a large KZfaq channel, you can do whatever you please, van or not

Me2 but you still need s purpose

@@sajask5890 the worlds doomed, we are either going to have he largest economic crash ever or ww3 is looming. my bets on both

@@JourneyReader im an introvrt, my dreams not a van, its 1acre or 5, so i can live offgrid entirely and have my own ecosystem

It's interesting af. Gives great ideas for camping on a budget, or saving mad money from staying away from apartments, until them assets start kicking in

Outhouse? Is it the 1800s?

That is the trick to getting to do this full-time while paid. I guess you could get rid of the passenger seat in a big rig to put an oven or something cool.

So true truck drivers paid to do this with cargo instead of driving around aimlessly.

I probably should have been a truck driver. I love the solitude in this video.

Being alone is not the same as being lonely.

@@bcaye thats deep

Yep, makes me appreciate my house, I struggle with a small space, I don't know why

Maybe because you know its not your home lol Your home is your house

@@api8848 I never thought of it like that, it's also easier for me with a dog at my house

Running water is always a plus lol

I guess it's starting to become a trend when housing become too expensive while it take 100k to start a life on the wheels.

The images certainly reflected what I imagine real van life to be like but the way the sound is edited makes it seem more peaceful than I imagine it really is, especially in public car parks. This is a refreshing honest take on van life and I enjoyed it.

Their stories?? They live in a van. End of story LOL 😂😂😂

@@cassy420blazeYes, they live in a van, or a truck, or a full on camper, and get to see different areas, meet different people, have experiences in both suburban and wilderness that I'm pretty sure the average SUV, F150 or Tacoma driver who's never left suburbia will ever have. But if hearing the life of a nomad who's going from place to place living life as they see fit without any roots planted doesn't interest you? Suit yourself.

No woman though

no woman, no cry

I'm assuming this guy's job is KZfaq, but how do you pay for expenses? Instead of rent do you just make a monthly payment on the van and go to a normal job?

​@@Platinum9951I'm guessing in addition to KZfaq money and possibly super chats, if they go live, all these van lifers have every gig app downloaded. Without having to pay rent or mortgage, you can easily keep monthly expenses very low. Working mobile side gigs a few days per week can likely cover expenses, especially if you're able to cook your own meals daily.😊

@@MichaelBrown-ti1un Yeah that's what you would think but the vans are not cheap. A sprinter van costs $50,000-$100,000 ... then you got to remodel the thing which could cost another $30,000-50,000. Then of course it's a van so gas ain't gonna be cheap. I don't think you could finance this $100k-$150k investment on gig work. You could buy used but it's still expensive and if it breaks down so long to the remodeling investment.

@@Platinum9951 thats start up costs though. once everything is paid for and renovated monthly expenses would be cheaper. the only expensive cost would be power and fuel i guess

Pretty accurate take.

Exactly. I love normal day in a life videos

maybe yeah but also we need to start a cultural movement that makes fun of these van life dweebs more. get some balls america

Yes I agree❤❤😊 I calms me down 😂😂

Right man, literally looks amazing.

I agree. Too many of the "day in the life" videos are unrealistic. . . with gourmet cooking every day, adventure after adventure, all the beautiful "instagram people". This was about as realistic as it gets on a day to day basis. Great video.

you should do it man

Do it, you can always come back to the old life😊

Have fun peeing and shitting all over the place.

Rent the property so can have expenses while traveling

As someone else said, you could rent your house out and give this life style a try, make sure you like it before going all in. 😄

Do tell more! How was it different from what you expected?

@@Ashley-og9ti Yep, there is a lot of us interested what you wiil tell...i am extroverted and looking for some fun but torwing 80k eur or more through window just too realize that this is not for me???

@@apartmajasna7546 thats the van life of a SINGLE Person, if thats your dream take your partner or one friend with you

I lived in an RV on and off for years. 1) You'd better be handy. I enjoyed the challenge but sometimes I just wanted to take a long hot shower without something breaking. Plumbing and gasfitting being the typical issues. PS. I retrofitted a tankless water heater in so hot showers lasted more than 2 min. 2) The fresh air is nice but the cold, rainy days are hell. Winter was running 4x 1500W heaters 24/7 just to keep the water lines from freezing, let alone warm. Propane furnace rarely helped. I learned to wear socks and sweaters to bed. My dogs also helped keep me warm in -40C. 3) It's a bit lonely. A couple of friends came to visit but for the most part no one wanted to hang out. It's cramped and there's a bit of a stigma - like being homeless almost. It's fine if you're travelling in one but long term living people start treating you a bit differently. 4) Cost. There are ways you can cut down on your bills, like I eventually moved up to bulk propane rather than filling at gas stations. Power used to be cheap where I live but no longer is. Water is fine but you don't want to drink the stuff from the tap/tank and as mentioned is a struggle in winter. If you're moving, RVs don't travel light. You're going to pay high fuel expenses. 5) A bit of boredom. It was great going into the mountains - no lot fees, but no power and water. Move around and visit some places but after a while you miss having that stationary home. No furniture is comfortable - I upgraded to a home mattress and ikea couch but they were still not great. Anything better is too heavy or too big. This seems pretty negative - girlfriend and I are going to be doing some longer term RVing once our current contracts are up; go for a couple of months through Canada and the US. She hasn't done it before so we'll see what her opinions are.

@@animateddepression Thank you for the info.

It’s toxic capitalism finally beginning to take its toll.

That's where I am. About to get a divorce, 2 degrees, full time job. I can rent an apartment which is throwing $1,500 a month out the window. Considering vanning it for 5-7 years, socking the money away and then retiring somewhere cheap and buying a small house.

@@HikingWithCooper ill marry you sir

jokes on you this guy plans his entire life around just trying to find a public bathroom and running water

@@p.chuckmoralesesquire3965 you hate your life I see. Sucks to suck buddy

@@p.chuckmoralesesquire3965 fr and you need a job thats out of office or hybrid at least or have a lump sum of cash on hand at all times to live this lifestyle, still gotta pay for internet or find that too, if you got shower and restroom installed gotta drain greywater or poop in a bag, gotta refill your water supply when its low, lot of little shit, not to mention the build too. its cool but not for everyone

@@paradiseprod6153 yep exactly, these clowns are either already wealthy and leave that part totally out or this meager subsistence life style of living in a dorm room by yourself completely sucks :) It's one of the 2 and either way they're just not being very honest about it. So van life is really just playing xbox for 8 hours a day while in between trips to walmart? Well that doesn't really make for a compelling video

Watching some guy on the other side of the world not be honest about his inheritance while doinking around in a van actually makes it ok that my boss pays me peanuts and treats me like crap and keeps most of the money. Uhh no, no it doesn't bruh.

🤣

Good suggestion and great analogy with the croissants. Eating buns soaked with water is horrible to say the least 😅

叉烧包用微波炉热下直接吃最方便

No one wants a wet sandwich

@@evanyang1969 at least now i know to steam cook buns in steamer baskets like vegetables in the absence of microwaves

Yep exactly my thought. You trade in showers and a toilet for a life on wheels to think to yourself "what's my next destination". The way this life is structured also allows pretty easy gig economy side quests living simply where the primary expenses are going to be maintenance, fuel, food and water...he does a fantastic job. And then social media for longer term growth, it makes complete sense honestly and it seems like a great way to reset one's life and think/explore what direction to take....and sometimes a random turn can lead something great

Appreciate it. More to come!

@@Ryantwomeyy daddy. 💋🙎🏻‍♀️

All of the above for me! Lol, I am a vanlifer and this whole day looks like heaven except you would be hearing horribly pronounced Korean too, if it was me. I am constantly running out of time too. I was just thinking this video is a good example of anyone's day except the bathrooms part.

This actually comforted me so much because this video seemed so mundane and dull but you’re completely right, that it can still be an inner journey too and still be beautiful as long as we use our own potential:)

@@javyalmo1895 His gf is at home.

No the art of living is not needing those things to "better yourself" the art is being happy and content with who you are, not by constantly thinking you need to do better.

Same!

@@BoogeyWoogey24 same here too! im currently saving up for my van, and hope to have one in about a year! then onwards to building her out.

@@gijane1996 awesome! Keep it up! Saving can be tough but the end result will be worth it. Best of luck mate!

Same here, this looks like a dream

I'm sold. Perfect life for introverts.

I hope she didn’t get back with you after being with another dude and it not working out… otherwise I feel bad, you are not her main focus. Otherwise maybe it just was falling apart, both took a break and came back with no other lovers before.

I live in the city in my van, I have found it is the best tool for socializing. I park at a park and ride and use the metro for a lot of travel. I do salsa dancing on Thursdays downtown, I do rock climbing on Tuesdays. Made a bunch of friends and will hang with them on the weekends. This video just proves if you live in a place with nothing to do, then there is nothing to do. Iv only stayed in a Walmart once in 3 years. Also dude needs a toilet.

​@Yo Mama Why on earth are you trying to bring unnecessary suffering into the world?

I'm glad you got back together too.

Van life better when you have a woman 😁

ive often thought that - retired and at home could also be retired and with a van life. i guess it depends on the bodies ability to withstand the toils of driving and sitting for prolonged periods in the van seat.

Get out and do things. Volunteer. Plenty of people to meet and ways to contribute!

@@reviewwriter8352 brother these are 60/70+ years old men they cant exactly go around cleaning trash and shit

Except being at home is infinitely more comfortable. Whether the mobility and savings are worth it, is the real decision.

@@vaxrvaxr your van would be your home too....

The challenging part, I feel, is bringing pets along. I have cats too. They're holding me back from trying out this life. 🤔

I don’t think that life is suitable for cats in general. They like stability - knowing that when they look out of the door in the morning the view is going to be exactly the same as it was the day before. Plus most cats don’t like travelling in vehicles. Some learn to tolerate it, but given a choice they’d rather not.

Just a pipe dream chaps but grateful for the input. @@GradKat

ya if i had a van like him id be more out on the road or in camping areas, definitely with some good portable wifi though. from the looks of it he seems quite connected.

man somebody should tell this dork that if he just had a yard and a house he could do all this pointless crap like eating and working out there. no need to confine himself to a sad lonely van.

@@91dgross dude reality is, most people say that because they don't live the van life. Like all things, it's fun the first few years, then it's just routine.

Get a dog. Whole new reason to live.

@@ant-1382 I did that! First time I am totally happy and content with life. I love my dog more than anything in my life!

Being around people exhaust me, so grateful I have a job where I work from home.

Consider a job as an expediter in a van. Not as fancy but it was pretty awesome. Did it for two years. Whenever you go somewhere scenic, you can be out of service and go exploring. I’m antisocial too and loved spending time in rural areas of iowa, kansas, Minnesota, and the dakotas.

I agree 100%

I’m just wondering how can you afford all of this without working

@@michaelbernardo2469 KZfaq. Total amount of views, total amount of subscribers

This ^^^

And can you blame ppl who live this life when society is the way it is? Lol

Have yourself committed and see how loneliness helps you, I hear solitary confinement is good if you don’t want any human interaction.

“They say humans are social creatures, they can’t live alone. But you can live pretty well by yourself.”

My life in a quote

Exactly. My life in an apt is pretty similar to this (other than I also have to work 9-5 instead of going to gym and playing games)

Real life is boring. That's not a bad thing.👍👍👍

Please don’t have a van life with kids

We as humans are not by designed to be "robots" .Monotony and the grind feels familiar, safe, secure, and comfortable. I believe it to be just skimming across the surface of life. How does one grow in a sterile environment? try doing something completely insane. like gamble ALLLL of your money and sell all your "things" Maybe end up in Vegas or some native American camp in the sierra mountains.. then when it all comes crashing down... sit in that seedy hotel room alone.... Embrace that feeling. that feeling is so intense and overpowering, yet sit still and embrace it. Effing hell of a ride! Now what???

@@christopherjones9652 now you're broke and homeless. Better you than me, pal.

People can also be dangerous, there is always danger in everything

You still get all of that living in a house. Literally everything you said can still be done living in a house. And best part about having a house is you don’t have to sleep in a Walmart parking lot. You know what’s even better about having a house? You don’t have to take a dump 3 feet away from where you sleep, cook, play video games. It would smell like straight @$$ in that little van

He's obviously airing it out and literally cleaned it in this video

You people can't do that now? Living in a van isn't going to fix that...

You know what I don’t have to air out??? My house @@TragicallyCharmed

Yet with a van you can do it anywhere with it costing way less. And if you can work a job that doesnt require you to meet up somewhere you are chilling@@The_snatch_wrecker

I live just like that and watching vanlife videos relaxes me, like seeing an escape

Thats how I feel I am.

I was thinking of getting into this for this reason, travel down to my hometown, come back up to austin to visit fam. But also, as a business it'd be cool to provide them like a quick place to rest, get a good internet connection (2gbps speeds or some shit for their mobile downloads updates etc) a charger station for their batteries, some propane, etc. could do it for an all inclusive package they stay at for something where they could get together for that 'meeting people' or if they think it's worthwhile a subscription that is ~ like 10 stays but it gives them unlimited for 6 months or something like that and they just pay for anything they get at the convenience store section." ETA: yes like a truckstop before anyone says anything, but more tailored to their needs as someone living the mobile lifestyle

Im hoping to meet more people on this trip than i normally do (typically i keep to myself cause thats how i like it)

@@Ryantwomeyy Good to see you take precautions to stay safe on the road. Some of the most gracious people are in the nomadic lifestyle community. I’m stationary right now in my hometown, just a few clicks from Tampa. As you head north, a great stop over is Panama City Beach, one of Florida’s prettiest beaches in my opinion. You’ll get some great content there if you stop over for a day.

what the hell is so raw?

@@JohnRohoboth raw meaning the unglorified part of daily van life. its not ll glitters and rainbows!

All your negatives can be solved by proper denign considerations in van builds. Many people have water tanks for in van showers and have compostable or dry toilets, for example.

Why not doing it part time. Or just for short times. I don't think you always needs to be 100 full timer.

Lots of false expectations

Just because u live in a van doesnt mean you cant have a job. Maintaining a salary should be as easy as living in a normal house And you might need to travel alot but you can still go around a cental area. Theres probably a few camping locations you can use too if you position yourself right

@@joefamliyguy1551 yeah i’m aware of that i was saying that i don’t know where to start looking if i were to do what he’s doing idk what occupation he has. ik you can have jobs traveling and stuff i just don’t know where to start looking for them

@@croissant2813 i guess thats just a learning thing. Jobs are hard work any way you look at it in fairness.

Astute observation. Its true. Thats why is becoming a movement

What else to do

I think that’s why we put so much on our romantic relationships and the kids you may eventually have with that partner. Without that, it’s just this.
