I really appreciate when van lifers talk about the struggles/obstacles bc it helps the rest of us prepare/plan/anticipate unforeseen issues and make adjustments. So, thank you!

Often times things like mirrors and audio systems can be reset by pulling the fuse for 30 seconds, or disconnecting the battery for that length of time. ~ Former QC repairman in a new car factory.

Ok...You got me... I literally watched two hours of your content. Started with your most recent post and worked my way back. Thank you for sharing your story so personally. I find myself envious of your lifestyle, your youth and your free spirituous. I look forward to watching more of your content. May your travels always be fulfilling and most of all safe!

Love your videos! I would like to suggest that as a father who has a daughter, I would tell her to back into camp sites which offer no way of a quick departure if necessary. Leave yourself a fast way out. Be safe!

Girl! Ain't nothin' janky about this video. You always take the most simplest everyday occurrences and make them so romantic I could watch them for hours. So yes to more videos and ones like this because ain't nothing extra janky about them! lol!

In addition to your breathtaking footage of the outdoors, your choice of musical tracks is awesome. Great guitar sound and vocals.

My god the views and photography in this video are even more awesome and awe inspiring than usual. Seriously, my eyes just started watering spontaneously on some of them, like a gust of fresh wind giving me goose bumps. This feels real, authentic, wholesome, I want this, I'm gonna get this.

Thanks so much for bringing us along on your journey. What a true blessing it was to take care of Jack for two months. And now it's back to reality. You do an amazing job finding and photographing your adventures for us. Thanks for the update and for your beautiful smile.

I love when you do videos like this one- like a sneak peek on what life is on the road. Weather, van problems, camp spots and what not. So thank you! I love it. I don't think you need a mic though, can hear you perfectly if it's not too windy. Heh. Wondering if it's scary to sleep in the woods and hear wolves (?) howling 🥲 Love the doggos!

I’m 50 days into van life and wow have I had issues left and right despite planning this for 3 years....vehicle problems, no matter how small are such a pain. I’ve been filming this adventure and its problems and my solutions...hopefully I’ll be starting a channel soon. Great work Christian!

I really feel like I was with you on your journey. Life doesn’t follow like a storybook, does it? I’m impressed at how you are able to capture the moments. I’m a photographer and I find it hard to capture all the story while also trying to experience the adventure at the same time. Would love to hear some about how you balance experiencing things and having to capture things.

Hi, Christian! The places you visit are absolutely gorgeous and serene. I love seeing the expansive beauty of nature in our country. I also like when you hang out with your friend, Nathaniel. He’s super laid back and regularly whips up tasty looking, veggie dishes. I hope you’re able to find an alternate fix for your mirrors. Thanks for always giving us a realistic view of van life.🤗

I love all your videos but this one was extra moving. Your eye for photographing scenery and animals, choice of accompanying music feverishly feeds my nomad fantasy. Thank you for your creativity, time and energy. ❤

homebound and absolutely love the scenery you shoot. warms my heart and gives me hope that i can get back out there someday thank you

Thank you for all the beautiful shots as well as the reality aspect. I love travelling and going with the flow but I figured all that work involved in van life is not my cup of tea so I move around and live in new locations in private affordable accomodations and satisfy my wanderlust. A lot of people might have already told you this but I will say it again - your van is so clean and so modern, your style is so cool and so awesome. Cheers to that 🥂

Nice to see real vanlife. You nail the necessity to simply accept what is and do what we can to make it better. And stunning cinematography as usual. Can’t wait to finish my build though hanging in the Berkshires for the summer with occasional short trips around New England with just a blowup mattress and camp stove in my van is still super fun. It doesn’t take much to really enjoy the road.

Your videos provide such beauty and serenity. I know there is a lot of hassle for you at times, but the beauty of your photos, quality of your videos and your peaceful, calm personality provide us viewers with a wonderful experience. Thank you so much.

Love the beauty shots - love the life as reality. The road - the road.

Hi Christian, my name is Julie from Australia currently caring for my 90 year old Dad who has advanced Dementia. in the near future i will be setting out on a road trip around Australia. I have just watched your solo female safety video. What a genuinely informative and wonderfully spoken video. Much appreciated Thank You and safe travels always. Julie

Thank you for taking soooo many pictures and videos of the Tetons, my new home. This series will be on my favorites list. 💜 Get back when you can... the moose is missing you already. P.S. I need to order some of these prints for home. ✌

This was the type of video I wanted to see, lots of you, your life and some fun camping. Also seeing your ingenuity with repairs was great. I’m sorry your control panel is giving you issues. A mic would probably be a smart idea since you are such an incredible KZfaqr.

Beautiful scenery! Love your content both the breath taking views and your down to earth honesty of everyday van life. Looks to me that it is balanced with good and sometimes not so good adventures. But what I see is that the good far out weighs the bad! And Jack is one cool pooch btw! Haha! Thanks Christian for sharing! :0)

Beautiful scenery. Really enjoy seeing what life is like on the road. Making memories you will have for the rest of your life.

Love this video! Love the scenic shots plus daily life stuff. Amazing work!

These vids are such a vibe. Definitely inspiring me to get back into video!

Beautiful video: music, views, and your calm grace in nature coupled with your resourcefulness with the mirrors.

Love the video as always. I'm halfway done with my Van and cannot wait to be on the road in the next few months. Obviously there is a lot more difficulties just like you have shown us but in my opinion will be worth it!

Again a beautiful vid! Photography and all. I bet it was sad to say goodbye to Jack! What a wonderful experience. Enjoy your summer sister and keep making the vids!

Cinematic joy, every time!

Great to see you back on the road again and not shy away from talking about realistic struggles. Good luck with those pesky mirrors!

Great video Christian! Enjoy your new road trips!

Great video, I really appreciate getting to see what the real van life is like. I looking forward to learning more about your real life adventures. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing!

So many beautiful shots !!!

Really enjoyed this one. Good mix of giving me wanderlust and showing the reality of life on the road.

best video yet! I love seeing the raw footage from being on the road. thank you for creating such wonderful and inspiring videos! I got my van and I am building it out with my friend

Absolutely LOVE this style video. Thank you for sharing.

Wow Wyoming was gorgeous 😍 ❤ loved your video gave me a little escapism from Las Vegas life 👍❤ This is my new favorite channel! 😁

Awesome video. My wife and I love that area and YNP. We will be there in the fall. We can’t wait. Thanks for sharing!!!

I love these types of videos. Keep them coming.

I like seeing the frazzled side. It shows that even "the most amazing" life has hard times. Also, can we just take a moment to recognize that even in 100F your hair is still effing gorgeous, girl?

Another beautiful video !! You seemed a little stressed, sounds like you got a lot going on ! But I also sense you’re able to find peace pretty quickly. There’s nothing like being in nature to help you do that :-)

Super beautiful outside where you hang out. Thank you for sharing so much of it. Too cool!❤️😎

Another beautiful video.... and with a happy ending in the night sky.

Quite the rad setup and Rad bike! :) I hope your travels are endlessly fun, safe, and curiosity-creating! :)

Just got back from a Florida trip, So glad to see U are well and working thru the challenges.... Your vids and pictures are calming to me. I pray U get the mirror issue worked out. 🥰

Your editing is consistently getting better. Love it❤️.

Love this type of video with your real life in the van and so many beautiful shots 😍

It was so awesome meeting you at the Grand Tetons camping spot! Happy travels! See yah down the road!

This the content Van life Enthusiast love to watch , real life knarly vlogs , blessings with your travels ..

Lovely video as always! Our lives couldn’t be more different, and I love getting to see yours.

Those flowers, trees pix and videos are mesmerizing....👌👌❤

On the road again......can't wait to see you on the road again!

Some beautiful videography and a great soundtrack, so good to see you back on the road. Gaffa tape

hey chris, this is chris ✌️glad to found your channel, long story short, your videos make me feel happy and kind of bring me to a moment of "quietness" ? that moment makes me smile, thanks for that! ☝️😘🙏💪🤠 cheers christian from switzerland

Those baby moose are SO cute!!! And you got a rainbow too! God bless you!

Hi Christian: I live in NZ, a place I gather you have visited to snowboard at - although I hope you got to see more of the country! I discovered your channel yesterday, as I hunkered down at home while we 'enjoy' 120km/hr+ winds as we get clipped by a tropical storm. I am retired now, and for the past 18 months have been living on my own since my wife died. I consider myself to be a citizen of the world - four passports, and a wanderlust that has never been tamed. Many years ago (mostly the 1980's), I did most of my travelling over several years - going around the world - working as an engineer but also taking stock images to help me pay my way - and beginning a lifetime commitment to photography. I SO relate to your desire to be in nature, away from the pressures of city life, and I am also a bit of a loner: perhaps more so as I have got older. Over the years, I have tramped (you call it hiking) most of NZ and love its diversity. However, I miss the grand vistas of North America and the macro mammals: like bears, moose, wolves etc. that NZ does not have. I had a bucket list of places I wanted to visit: South Georgia + Antarctica, the Galapagos, the Masa Mara, and spend more time in North America enjoying the amazing national parks of the USA and Canada. COVID has dealt that a major blow: NZ was very isolated to protect our population, in fact in the latter part of 2021 I spent 15 weeks in a bubble of one as Auckland city went into lockdown. I hope one day to be able to so some of those trips, but at almost 70, getting travel insurance with COVID variants around is not going to be guaranteed or cheap. In the meantime, viewing your channel has given me a vicarious pleasure in enjoying your experiences, honesty, intelligence and philosophy. You have my sincere thanks for that! You asked about books: perhaps I can recommend books on the life of Lee Miller: a woman I can relate to as her life spanned many places, skills and challenges. I am reading one currently: The Art of Lee Miller right. She was a pioneering 'new woman' in the early 20th century who would not be defined by male values. She was considered what would later called a supermodel, but wanted to be on the other side of the camera, and she mastered the big view cameras and plate-processing of the day; and did fashion, portraiture, surrealist art (and was Man Ray's muse and co-creator). In WWII, she even became a combat photographer and eloquent journalist for Vogue UK: defying the military, to stay with the front line as Europe was liberated. She photographed the concentration camps and famously, on the day he killed himself, made a photo of herself cleaning off the filth of Dachau in the bathtub of Hitler's apartment , with her combat boots defiling Hitler's pristine bathmat . Sadly, she suffered massive PTSD post war, and gave up photography, but reinvented herself a master-chef, creating surrealist-themed meals until her death in 1977. She is an inspiration and I recognize in your a similar intelligence, multi-talent, and a restlessness.

This is awesome, actually sitting in my car after getting home from the store and haven’t gone inside yet because this vid is so good tho.

Another great video, back watching to learn more from what you do!

So awesome, living your best life. Fantastic camera shots.

Well done on the RAD! I have one like yours, a Rover, and a City...fun stuff!

Here's what's cool. I was watching this video and noted the shot you took at what appears to be Schwabacher's (sp?) landing. If it's the way I think, I grabbed that very same shot, at the same time (6:03). It was epic the way the clouds were hovering below the peaks, but above the river and the back small lake at the landing, giving the awesome unique reflection. A once in a lifetime. Cooler still is when you are talking about you guys re grouping...and shooting that shot across that field out of the van in the national forest, I recognize the road and then the subsequent road you are walking upon while talking about your nap. I stayed in or near that very spot while there. I guess it's just fun seeing the exact same places I was from inside another video...and likely we were like...right there at the same time. :-) Small world. Very, very small world indeed.

I wondered how the transition back to van life would be. Thanks for sharing it with us and that amazing wildlife. Separately, you should get that windshield replaced; that’s a pretty big crack and you definitely don’t want it failing on the highway.

I absolutely love your videos!

Great video and a real mood lifter as I'm stuck in bed with back pain from falling off a roof.Ouch.Good luck back on the road my friend.Keep safe 🙂🐿

Those moose twins are THE CUTEST THINGS EVER!

Thank you for sharing that relaxing video. I'm in love with Jack, he's so cute! Keep my fingers crossed for you 🤗

As Jack, I always run when someone opens the door. 😄 greetigs from Spain!

Big fan of your videos, keep them coming! I have a suggestion to help a little with your mirrors. I got a mirror cam from Amazon last year (around $80) and it's been really great. The small camera mounts on the back of your van inside or outside with a wide angle lense so you can see cars in your blindspots at the corners. It's like looking at a tv with a view of what's behind your van and not through your van like a traditional mirror. With a big enough flash card, it will record what's in front (another camera mounted in front of the mirror) and back. Only issue is it wouldn't help with cars that are right beside you past the blind spots. Hope you can get your mirrors fixed. 🤞

Wyoming looks epic! Everywhere you look is like a scenic postcard.

Just love your spirit and what you share of your life....Thanks.

Wyoming looks beautiful I've never been there or camping looks like so much fun, that couple climbed Mt Everest that's amazing glad they made it safely very challenging and dangerous.

Hiya Christian! Loving the colors in the intro! I always enjoy watching the pets in these vids. That pup looked like they had a lot of personality. :-) The reinforcement plate(s) idea sounds prudent, and I am sure you likely got them. Good thing that Prime Day is coming -- auto parts tend to be cheaper, and mirror assemblies don't cost a whole lot. I wonder if for the hot days and nights, a makeshift "swamp cooler" would come in handy, for the times you're stationary? It's something that I make and use for when I'm headed down south for my long-range van trips to Alabama/Georgia/Louisiana/Texas. I could use the A/C in my rig, but I try to conserve energy, and I found that it works wonders. BTW: We always enjoy your endings, but it was nice to see the night sky. Happy Trails! :-)

You are one kick ass videographer! The video is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing and the update! Stay safe!!

Thank you for making us a part of your amazing journey. The scenery is absolutely spectacular. Traveling solo can have its moments of loneliness and a companion like Jack can make a big impact to make life fuller -- just a suggestion. I'll keep watching your journey.

I love this episode

Out of all the van life videos, Christians are the best. It amazes me how she can great shots all the time.

LOL: "I'm a hot mess." But you always sound so cool and in control. Hang in there!

KEEP MAKING VIDEOS! YOU ARE SO INSPIRING

I love everything about this video

Happy to see another great video from you as i recover from hip replacement surgery, hoping for more mobility soon so i can get out there somewhere this summer!

I live on South. Stradbroke Island Qld Australia. Nature is incredible here, island rainforest, Aussie animals,surf beach nearby, gorgeous sunsets! Definitely lots to film. Photography has been a lifelong hobby of mine.

Good to see you back on the road again. Seems like the worlds weather is gone bonkers. It was 31°C here in London UK a few days ago and yesterday it only reached 14°C, so cold I had to put the heating on. Really weird weather, so changeable.

great to watch, what a lovely dog.

Lord the Tetons are so beautiful. Looks like you all had a wonderful time. I love living in this part of the country, I feel blessed. Safe travels

Awesome, keep pushing yourself!

I love the sunflower shots with the mountain range in the background! (Especially 0:05 with the contrasting moody mountains in the background!) A lav mic would probably help the audio quality, but I really don't mind the occasional background noise. You're driving, and the background noise makes it more "in the moment" with you.

Wow! Great photography, editing, music, story-telling. So very enjoyable to watch. I had things to do but could not unhook until it was over. Sorry about your mirrors. And thank you thank you.✌️

Another Great Video!!😊 Great Videography!! Love seeing all the beautiful places!! Looking Good!! Keep on posting!! 😊

The handheld fans connected to a spray bottle are AmAZing for those suffocating hot times! You can pick them up at Walgreens or any super market.

🌟😄 Hi Christian, Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a Happy New Year! 😄🌟

You are so lucky to be able to keep travelling around (can't wait for the day we are allowed to go more than 5km from our house). Watching your videos brings back some fantastic memories when we travelled around the US/Canada in our 5th Wheel for six years, mainly to National and State parks based on what we wanted to photograph. Unfortunately I didn't get to some of the picturesque places in Spring, so missed out on the wildflowers in bloom; a compromise of travelling with another person.

Montreal, I spent the year living in my Ford .Really remembered them days ,after watching your videos.

Love your shooting style. Sending good vibes from Brazil!

There are those not-so-warm-and-fuzzy moments living the van life. Just like on the backpacking trips, the ones you've planned and prepared for, things just don't seem to gel or go right. You deal with it and move on. I've done month long adventures and you cannot anticipate breakdowns. Once in Kentucky my vehicle sat in a friend's driveway for three weeks while I waited for a part that had to be shipped from Italy, leaving me to rent a vehicle for my vacation. That sucked! That left me one week to return to my base in Arizona.

Your videos are well put together! Good work!!

Just found the channel, love it! Hitting the road in my pop up camper this fall! Can’t wait to be back in Jackson!

Doggo is so stinkin cute!

Hello Christian! I'm already missing Jack, he's very lovely 😍. Christian, as always, beautiful and perfect photography, I love these locations where you were, by the way it seems no matter how far we can get up north in the US it's still very hot, I'm in northern Arizona and it's been 100 degrees 😑 not pleasant at all! Thank you for sharing Christian, be safe 🙏 and good luck on the road!

Beautiful photography...really enjoyed this video.

You might try the Mission gear (cooling hats, gaiters, bandana cloths). Run them under cold water and wear them to keep cool. Workout gear also offer cooling cloths. Walmart carries, possibly camping place will too. Ice in a towel on your forehead, neck, and temples (if you can find a bag of ice and use it right away). Don't forget about your radiator to keep it cool 😎 Love the Summer season!
