Seattle was once nice!! been here 42 years born and raised! locals don't go in to the tow anymore! tech and homeless now owns it!!

Ok ok ok...I'll give you the family recipe. 1 can condensed milk. 2 cans baby clams (add clam juice) half large pot of potatoes. chopped small red or white onion (red better). add potatoes to 1/2 level. add water to a mm or 2 above potatoes n salt n pepper to taste. boil until ALMOST DONE. Turn down and simmer. add clams n juice. stir. add milk stir. turn up and wait till full boil. add large chunk of butter add lid and turn to simmer add a touch more salt and pepper to taste. let sit for an hour. enjoy. feel free to add more veggies like chopped carrots, celery even fried bacon bits to enhance further!

HELL YEAH, LONGER VIDEO NOW. Please keep with the longer video man! Keep it up!

I have been watching a lot of "vanlife" content for a year, and I think yours might be the best. It shows how it really is and not all great all the time. Good stuff.

Just a real guy doing real life on the road. Safe journeys!

If you find an opening under your van to bring up cool air then even putting up a quiet computer fan against the roof fan (but not turning on the fantastic fan) will totally evacuate the hot air and be quieter and more stealth. The air under your van is typically much cooler than the roof air. A small exhaust fan like they use for a composting toilet can draw up enough air. I’ve seen folks rig up something from the rear lights, behind the license plate and behind a rear mounted tire. Perhaps even around an undermounted spare tire.

Just a heads ups if you have AAA you could sign up with something called Active Direct Fitness it’s a monthly subscription that I personally use . One benefit it has you can go to any gym that is in the network such as : LA fitness, anytime fitness, and planet fitness and many more so it’s convenient when you need a shower in areas that don’t have your gym

I always Shower at the end of the day for Three Reasons. It removes the Sweat from the day. It helps keep My Sheets fresh just a little bit longer. It helps relax Me for Sleep.

I love your content. No other Van Lifer Shows us the real nitty gritty of the daily things you do like head showers in the sink for example. Subscribed Bro!

I love you did your van dark because it seems like it really helps with sleeping good at night.

I haven't finished watching but I had to comment because you are actually going to cook!!! Ty for not pouring a can in a pot. You just took your first bite... I love this. Forgetting stuff at the store, that's real. And it does look yummy😋 I would've enjoyed watching you clean up the van... I liked this video 🙂 and I've subscribed.

New follower here! Maybe a couple of weeks actually. I literally marathon all your videos! One of the best van life content. More videos please!!

"I don't want anyone to know that I'm living back here." As someone who lives in Seattle, that's like, the default assumption I'd make for any unmarked Van that sticks around more than an hour.

Just recently found your channel but love that you are in the PNW!! I live an hour ferry from Seattle and really enjoy seeing van life in Seattle!

Just started watching your vids and I can’t stop

Love your videos bro.

That’s a pretty good Whole Foods, I used to go there every morning before work when I worked in downtown Seattle. I live in the North End and ours up near Lynnwood is not as nice.

Hi Ryan great content. Have you thought about doing a walk-around vlog showing the areas you camp in… would make for interesting viewing.

Loving the content, best vanlife youtuber out there imo

Like the plain white shirt although I would put a very small logo/pic on the upper left side (over the chest area) and keep the rest plain white on the front

best van life content on youtube .hands down

I LOVE your content I look forward to seeing it !! You may OR may not know BUT you can buy disposable full size face towels at target AND Walmart in the pharmacy area

Dude, so proud of you. Life goals for real right there my dood. Keep on goin.

You’re a funny dude, and so dramatic haha When you started dry heaving when cutting open that can of clams I literally thought I was going to be sick myself. I’ve only watched 2 of your videos and both of them you were eating clam chowder lol you have a new fan from 🇨🇦

tip on the flour make sure u change it every couple months, flour mites will start forming

Im happy im here at 40K cant wait to see you at a million!!!!

You can use the clam juice as part of the water you boil your potatoes in.

Cool video been trying to get to Seattle for a while. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Thanks for the content

pro tip: cut the bread bowl into smaller pieces, brush the soggy bits with butter and garlic, and bake @350 F til it gets a lil crisp on top for some clam-chowdery garlic bread brings some new life into what might be thrown out normally

You crack me up! Way to build your appetite with all the runs to the store. Can you imagine your wife saying…honey, I forgot the bread, and you run to the store; then you get back and she says, honey, we don’t have enough milk… Go to a goodwill and pick up a can opener:) etc.

I love clam chowder. I think it’s one of my favorite foods

I moved away from Seattle almost a year ago and I'm currently finishing up some finishing touches on the van I bought this summer. I'm planning on going on the road with my dog really soon and making my way back later this year.

😃 ya buddy... thats a great meal! Excellent vid I can't do shellfish but chili...yup. chicken stew...yup broccoli potato chedda...yup thank you young man for nice little visit to Seattle

You van is my second home now. Love your content.

I have this dish every time I go to Disneyland exactly with sourdough bread by the pirates of the Caribbean ride.. might have to try doing it myself, looks simple yet amazing!

I love your van as one I at the age of 68 year old woman would enjoy traveling up and down the East Coast. Your set up is not only streamlined but so asthetically pleasing to the eye. I would be finding a place and enjoying knitting to watching KZfaq. Happy travelings. 🎉

I love your videos. They show the struggle too! LOVE IT. Thanks for being real.

Well damn, now I want some clam chowder LoL 😂

I just found your channel and nice job! I live in my transit connect 2010 in Olympia. I was actually up in Seattle today. Haha.

Everyone in chat keeps mention the van life. I'm hooked to the cooking recipes. I want to try this one.

im glad you made it through the night in our city. I don't got the balls to sleep in a van...i'll be too paranoid of someone tryna break in lol....but you picked a good spot. I believe thats westlake. definitley TINT your windows a bit...and maybe curtains

Fry up some bacon and add to your chowder. It's really good!. I'm a life long resident on the Olympic Peninsula. I love fresh seafood.

SLU is where all the tech companies are so yeah spot on assessment it's a nice area lol

You made enough chowder for the entire block! People starving in Sea!!

That's a clean van you got. I love the layout of the inside. Just found your channel. Great work.

Love your channel dude. I live in Bellevue. You should hit it up before leaving Washington, there’s good stuff here too.

Loving the channel mate

Man my mouth is watering...I already had dinner but tomorrow I'm making a pot of Seafood Chowder.

can I send you a can opener!? awesome vid and hope you've been enjoying my beautiful city.

My American friend always talks about clam chowder and now I want to try it!

Get a wet mat/plastic and lay it down for the times you have to use the sink for a proper bird bath. Rag + soap + sink = better than baby wipes lol

Ryan, you're absolutely wonderful

Nice van 😍😍😍 i love it ❤️❤️❤️

Been living in my car for about 2 months, really looking forward to having my own van build eventually. I keep thinking thought, what's the problem with people knowing you live in your van or that you're currently in your van? It'll probably reduce the risk of thieves lol, I mean I wouldn't go tell people I live in a van, but people thinking badly of me for living in my car/van are not worth my time, it's like a radar for shitty people lol, it helps me see more clearly what others are like. Anyways don't be ashamed of living in your van, I'm sure it comes with many benefits which are even worth mentioning to your future boss, like for example I'm saving money for mortgage, although i might just get a nice apartment sized camper eventually, quite enjoy the fact that I'm not tied to one place and had the opportunity to travel to different cities and work there which I think is pretty exciting.

dude u can't throw that bread away

Great van setup. I’ll check out more of your content. But today only one question. No fresh clams at Whole Foods in Seattle? Yeah you might need to buy clam juice but come on man! Your killing me! Seriously though, I like your style.

Omg I'm starving Ryan...lol❤

Love the merch!

I wanted a sprinter but the promaster has grown on me a lot👍

Buy a deep pot. It works. Love your video.

Some Casey Neistat vibes with that intro music.

Dang! Love your vids!

How was that $100 bowl of clam chowder? Lol.. PS that looked like a fun day boondocking in Seattle!

Good stuff. I liked and subscribed!

94 degrees in a vehicle. I’d be naked in there, lol. To be totally stealth you shouldn’t use your side doors.

Loving the videos man. Remember this comment when you have 2 million subs!

them shirts look coo

Omg, when u gagged,it was hilarious! Canned clams are nasty!!

lmao, you have a fucking soda stream in your van? thats amazing and hilarious. No can opener, but a soda stream. Bro, you are a unique and wonderful individual. Love the content.

Because of you we are now buying all the ingredients for clam chadower

You need caps for merch as your cap game is poor buddy lol love the videos

Omg the food ti in the non stick

New subscriber from Wash st your videos r on point

If I ever achieve my dream of owning an old white van in decent condition for cheap and then add a small solar stealth solar panel on top connected into a solar battery to store power, I will probably stick to laptop (one with low power consumption and durable battery). Would love to have a small 12 volt mini fridge too but kinda unsure if a small stealthy solar panel would be enough to power it

You should get a 8 sleep mattress pod cover and set it to MAX cold i think it better on the battery then the A/C unit :)

That t shirt is so dope

Next time just "singeren" of the vegetables, you just toss some flower over your vegetables and then pour in the liquids, no need to make a roux.

bro, i know you said in one of your ealier videos that you get most of your recepies from tiktok, but you should honestly do like a stealth camper van cooking show sometime.. like teach how to do some of your favs.. it always looks so damn delicious! EDIT: just binged a bunch of your videos and thats bascially what you're doing anyways 😆. keep being awesome bro!

this looks cool, once I pay off my house I'd like to get a van and travel around

👍👍👍👍👍👍 I love clam chowder too 😊😊😊😊

Gotta stealth camp at Santa Cruz right on cliff drive you won’t regret it!

Hey! I was the meat guy in the background there 😁😁😁

I love your content

I sometimes go to the h mart for lunch😊

good catch!

Know exactly where you are … Seattle was home for 13 years. It was all better in the 90’s. 😬 But love your content!

Amazing videos bro

Hey Ryan, great videos and you make some good food. Question…love your van ceiling & lighting, would love some details on how it was done. Thanks.

Ima have to do this in the raptor

Why don't you go in through the driver door every time you enter? Put your groceries over on passenger seat, and then slip through and grab them. Maybe I'm misunderstanding though, I guess if it's not illegal to live and sleep in that space it doesn't matter. I just figured you'd want to reduce any risk of anyone knowing that there is expensive stuff in there. Man I would not be cut out for this...... seems like pieces of food would just fly into places you can't get to. And then when it gets 100 degrees in the van it would just smell so bad you would literally have to remove like a cabinet or something to get to it. How do you keep that from happening?

Bahahahha its so funny you had to run 3 times to the supermarket

Try adding a construction worker vest to your passenger seat. Help me I believe in SF.

yo g you inspire me to do van life but pls look at the claw technique for cutting.

BOYS COOKING...so funny! Is saw the Maryland tags...where in MD are you from? I lived in Talbot County for 10 years! (Easton and St. Michaels)

Next in the beach 🏖️🙏🏻

If you are still in the area.. Katie Downs on the waterfront in Tacoma..best burger I ever had..

Clam chowder needs thyme in it. Queen Anne is a better place to park. Or down on western to 15th in Ballard.

Nice indirect lighting.

Makes me kinda miss Seattle

Take a wash cloth and wet and soap it in the sink and then wash your body lol it works
