Vanlife is Helping Me Battle Depression

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Beautiful place.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

It really is!

[@VanventureswithKaia]

I agree with you about van life helping your mental health my van is my happy place where I always feel secure content and confident

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Its good to have a cozy little home, even if its very cozy 😊

[@WreckageRecords]

Love you Jed.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Love you

[@willsmooth45]

You’re the one who got me on the road thank brother ❤

[@IntoTheMystery13]

hell yeah!

[@nextpagepj9058]

Hey Jed! Surprised to get a notification from your channel, it's been yeeaarrs! I remember your Astro van and how much you loved it. I loved the tapestry you had hanging in there. Anyways, good to see your face, welcome back and good luck rebuilding your channel!

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Thank you!

[@willsmooth45]

Been here since 2015 and I’ll be here forever for you bro

[@afortunatefool777]

Dude I'm so glad to see you vlogging again. Love Yourself! 👍✌🌞

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Always!

[@dallymagno]

Would have love to drive through that town. One day 😀

[@IntoTheMystery13]

It’s a cool little spot!

[@maddy7418]

Ah Vernonia! Indeed a small mountain town. I grew up on the outskirts. Super cool to see my old town. If you drive through again definitely check out the abandoned mill pond area. Some of the mill is still standing and it’s spray painted. There’s some pretty nice art in there, my favorite being a girl on a swing. If you go further back there’s even more buildings but most are run to the ground. Not sure if it’s still standing but there’s an area back there that had wood bridges connecting stone platforms and a pretty sick stick fort. I spent many days after school in the forest amongst the rubble burning the fern out of monster cans haha

[@IntoTheMystery13]

I’ll check that out next time I go through. Thanks for the heads up!

[@thectk1000]

There are quite a few areas like that where I'm from in Arkansas. Old neighborhoods and towns that are a shadow of their former selves. Kind of neat to look at and sense all the history but on the other hand kind of sobering to know how temporary and fleeting so many things in life are. The home and house I grew up in are long gone, reduced to an ugly, overgrown lot. Heck, I recently watched this huge old mansion get demolished and thought, who knows how many people paid who knows how much money to live there over so many decades and now it's all gone. Nothing is forever, so I think it will help if we all quit worrying so much and live in the moment as much as we can.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Absolutely, well said

[@cycledelic44]

Thanks for sharing these awesome places🤙. Regular exercise smokes any meds (including meds you smoke), the more vigorous the better.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Most definitely! Nice to see your username again

Yep, still with you. Lol. You were one of the first vanlife channels I subbed to back in the day. I'm glad you're getting back to regularly uploading. 🙂

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Thank you 🙏 it’s nice to still be seeing comments from you.

[@jacabuswalford4201]

Hope you are doing well.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Doing pretty good

[@bernardl4441]

I've been here since the beginning. You're like an old friend at this point. I've been considering a 4Runner with roof box like you have after over 7 years in my minivan. Maybe later in the year I can get a deal on a 2024 after the new models arrive.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

I appreciate you, good luck on the 4runner

[@RonInAVan]

Jed great video, I’m somewhat of a Introvert and that was one of the reasons I built my van, so I could go out on what I called my mental retreats to recharge. I get it 👍🏻be safe.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

They are necessary

[@msruby68]

6:11 was that a big hole in front of that house?

[@kbjcda]

You are definitely OG. Thanks for sticking around.

[@nickthedoodle]

Bro I'm in Eugene and the tree's can lick my taint, 500+ count the other day and I felt like I was dying. Today isn't any better but the meds are finally working. Still stoked to see you looking and talking so positive!

[@IntoTheMystery13]

This pollen is brutal. I’m glad the meds are working for you

[@drewblanche]

Glad you’re making videos again. I can’t do van 🚐 life again, now I just want my own place on some land in Virginia that’s the goal. Traveling ain’t my thing, once I’m in Virginia I can explore all over there the camps the rivers the lakes the hiking the trails etc. so much compared to Vegas life. I hope you find your spot that you don’t ever want to leave. I grew up in the dry desert 🏜️ so Virginia once I saw that I was in heaven ❤

[@IntoTheMystery13]

You can do it!

[@ClayGlerumArt]

Prolly better off that you don’t have a rig that you can dwell in. Cause the reality of van life can also be very depressing and isolating. Your setup is badass and it keeps you out in the world. Keep pushing brotha. I can relate to feeling like a broken alien in this world. You have my support from up here in the Olympic Peninsula.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Good point on the van being isolating. Have you had mold issues?

[@ClayGlerumArt]

@@IntoTheMystery13 yea man I used to live in my 1985 Toy home. Prolly have some brain damage from all the mold in that leaky old rig. Ripped the roof off and renovated every square inch and if I don’t keep a constant air flow mold still starts growing fast.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

It’s a harsh environment. I won’t be here next winter

[@melmc9672]

You were the very first "van lifer" I got into to back about 7 years ago when I purchased my travel trailer. So good to see you back on the Youber of Tubers☺️✌🏼❣️

[@freedompanda9438]

That is one flaccid house! 😂🤣 Good on you for making sure someone was aware that the church door was damaged. Carrying a simple battery powered drill with a selection of screws is never a bad idea.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

I meant to get my tools in order when I was in town too. I kicked myself a little bit for not doing that, the allergies were really bad though.

[@jrraven3230]

There's a place in Vernonia with a lake and some nice cabins 😇

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Are the cabins for rent?

@@IntoTheMystery13 oh I don't think so, but don't quote me on that. The bunkhouse in nehalem has the best price on rooms in the area 😇

Great quality on the vids. Hang in there.

[@IntoTheMystery13]

Much appreciated!

[@ThatBobGuy850]

You know, it's interesting what you said about how living on the road forces you to not stay in bed for extended periods. And as you also noted, when you're on the road you actually have to **do** stuff every day. I know a couple of people who could probably benefit from a long solo road-trip. I'm glad it's working for you ;-) Nice video! It's cool seeing those old houses, and the ruins of that mill. But it reminds us that nothing made by man (especially anything made out of wood) is permanent. Ashes to ashes. (Oh, and although I'm afraid of heights too, I still would've had to walk out to the center of that first bridge and pee into the stream below. I'm surprised you didn't. It's a guy thing.)

I remember your old Astro van videos back in the day. Best of luck getting your channel back up. A lot of creators say the adsense isnt what it used to be back then. Maybe some sponsor deals in your future 👌

Me too!! Jed was my very first van lifer I got into,he has always been so relatable and fun to watch

[@IntoTheMystery13]

There is also a much much bigger potential audience now. Vanlife wasn’t even a term when I started. Now it’s a household word.

Call me a nut job, but allergies are from a spirit ! I used to have to take so much medicine for that, ridiculous amount just to not be sick, and bound the spirit, I have never had them again ! They have tried to come back, bad pressure, itchy watery eyes, but I just bound that spirit, and backed it back off.
