Thanks for all of the continued support over the last 6-12 months, without it the channel wouldn’t exist! I’m super excited for what’s to come in 2024 and can’t wait to create some more fun filled adventures 😊

[@davidrobey4274]

Look forward to it Will

[@Richard.blackburn]

You're smashing it Will. Keep making chicken fajitas mate 🐔👍🏻

[@wikdstixofcheese]

Thank you for sharing your life and adventures with us all ❤😊 you are the one who has inspired me the most to buy and build my own van !! So a month ago I bought a 2014 Ducati H2L3 . Let the fun and games begin 😁. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you Will and all fellow subscribers ☺️🥳💙

[@davidhill8738]

Getting rid of Mary nooooooooooooo!!¡ will wtf?😢

[@PrototypePlatform]

im never gonna not support you. you're such a great person regardless of what content you make.

[@russellede]

Honestly I’ve been a big fan of the new direction of the channel, and it’s been great to see you so passionate about the weird and wacky campers you’ve been showing. Great that you want to take that passion you’ve found into the future new build.

[@Silverwidows]

It's true that as a viewer, you can really tell when a content creator is enjoying what they do vs they do it for a job. Viewers aren't dumb and I guess subconsciously you can pick up different tells which changes how the content is viewed. Glad you found your happy spot

[@kevinrichards8119]

Best wishes to you for 2024,enjoyed all the vids of 23...best wishes again from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@williamlogan659]

For building the new/old campervan, get in touch with Mel, of big camper small world,. to work with other van builders in a farm building rigged out for van building. You will have the company you crave plus advice and help when needed.

[@georgiadelotz6416]

Saw someone chatting about a warehouse specifically for people to convert their vans in. It's called the Van Build Hub. Comments on the post also implied another company has one down south somewhere. Hope that helps. Happy new year!

[@peterwentworth9181]

Enjoy watching whatever you do and l have to say its an anti depressant for me watching the fun and energy you put in to your videos. Happy Christmas Will 🎄

[@jamesnolan925]

Agree wholeheartedly with this!

[@_2hu4u]

Give us a shout when you're in Australia. All the best for the new year mate.

[@gamusicus]

I'm so glad you're open about mental health and therapy. It's part of your physical health as well. So many people keep it bottled up and it can be detrimental. I have enjoyed your channel for quite awhile now. You're an inspiration!

[@spitNsawdust]

Maybe try that old Chicken shed that Mel uses, I think it’d be nice with the other van builders there. ✌️😊

[@sharonpettman1274]

Merry Christmas Will, see you in the New year, have a belter

[@sgtcorb]

Don't stop the videos Will, me and the Mrs love you (not in a french p@rn star way). Your videos want us to convert a van ourselves and enjoy when you upload new videos as it gives us ideas. Hope you have had a great Christmas.

[@tobysherring1369]

If you come to Perth, Western Australia, usually can charge your battery pack in our drive! Lots to see and do here.

[@katehudson8010]

We are Canadians who live full time in our trailer and spend 6 months in Canada and 6 months in United States...I am retired my husband is semi retired working only in summers in Canada. We love your channel and find you so funny and real..we love your honestly and the way you are open and honest about mental health... Love your channel keep up the good work!!

[@sarahhunt7005]

[@joellsbarbers]

Great video Will! We would love for you to come and join us on a episode of Barbershop Talks, let us know if we can make it happen. All the best for your next van build

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

you are a massive inspiration for all of us with mental health struggles, Will. I personally loved the change of direction. You seemed more happy and at peace with yourself and the vids were fun to watch. The production values from you and your team have been amazing. I'm sure you'll love going away with Neil and emma in the Dougster. When they have finished him you should deffo do a vid on staying in him for the night, For now though, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and an amazing 2024. Much resprect🙏 - Krenny

[@trevorsbarkingmadchannel4501]

Have a good Christmas Will.

[@milesandhikes]

I have watched every single video on your channel, from your adventures in Nepal, to stealth camping in the Galaxy, building MRY and now camping in other people's rigs for a night.and I LOVE IT ALL!! I am sure many will agree with me, we are here mostly because of your personality! I am sure you'd be successful with any direction you take your channel on. Good thing is: we love it all! Can't wait to see where you'll be traveling to in 2024 :)

[@mark70s29]

All the best for 2024:)

[@lesklower7281]

[@manchestervanlife]

Nice one man all the best for the new year buddy 👍

[@user-fo6tt3kx8u]

[@spreekstem]

[@trishagail353]

I'm looking forward to your videos in 2024!!!🎉 Whether it's a van build or stealth camping, road trips, or just you being you, I'm along for the ride!!! it would be great if you could come to the USA!!! 🇺🇸 Merry Christmas, Will!!!❤

[@chrislang7460]

Building a vehicle where things don't all work. Well I'm sure that'll be fun for you. Merry Christmas

[@Oneness1618]

Glad you will keep it going, its nice to see people like yourself grow. Thanks to you and others I am also building a camper now.

[@leighton757]

Looking forward to the new build of a old van type thing, wish i had a space to do the same. But i will be buying an old (late 80s) A class motor home to go full time for a year, fingers crossed.

[@jenny.barter]

What an honest and open chat mate,we love you Will,you do what makes you happy pal,ive been trying to schedule in a big binge watch of all the new content,my fave way to watch Wills whereabouts channel lol!Good to see you out and about in the van again Will

[@beetlegirlrb7720]

Merry Christmas Will!!! and a very happy, healthy new year!! With love from my house! 🎅🎄🎁❤️💚 xxxxx

[@catherineferguson7388]

Merry Christmas Will , thank you so much for your awesome videos and hard work. I’ve enjoyed all of them. Best of luck for 2024. You deserve it and be safe. Look forward to watching you again next year, keep laughing the way you do, as it makes you happy and us to. Thank you 🎄🎄⛄️☃️✌️👍🥰🫠❤️💕

[@bobbicatton]

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year, Will🎄🎉😊

[@Plowe02]

Mate, thanks for talking about mental health issues! I have huge anxiety problems, purchased a little campervan last and loved it. I went on many mini adventures on my own which was strange at first, like you said “you want to share the moments with someone else” but I got used to it and have many more planned for this year. I’m new to your channel and love it, keep going bud👍🏻

[@vanlifeadjustments]

Will, For me the type of content is secondary. I'm here for your personality!! Happy New Year!

[@moe_1886]

Have always enjoyed your content Will, no matter what it is. Love seeing your enthusiasm and I always have a good laugh too! Looking forward to seeing where you take us in 2024 Mate. Merry Christmas to you and have a very Happy New year.

[@RailAdventUK]

It would be ace to see you get a classic caravan then you could renovate it and tow it behind Mary to still use both

[@altclut]

Happy New Year! All the best for 2024!

[@shaneD7378]

Fair play, too, you will be honest about your mental health us men normally find it difficult to open up about our mental health and as its not the done thing I also struggle with my mental health but now I'm a bit more open with it with the people close to me. It's not a life sentence. I enjoy your video I love the escapism concept. It's got me thinking what i could do with my Citroën C4 picasso as a stealth camper van on a budget and with no experience

[@richidraykat]

Have a great festive season. You bring a light and joy to many lives. Thank you

[@tingliasmr]

Come to Spain Will! Van life is huge here especially with peeps from Germany and there are some nice Spanish Van lifers/KZbinrs too. You'd be spoilt for choice. P.S I agree with the comment 'do what makes you happy as that's what we like to see.' Looking forward to seeing the next conversion and plenty Mr Bean like shenanigans in 2024! Merry Christmas to you and yours! P.P.S thanks for the entertaining videos, your positive vibes have made me giggle many a time this last year when things have been so dark and you can't put a price on that. :)

[@Wendmera2379]

I can’t wait to see your future videos! I hope you have the merriest Christmas & a happy new year! Stay safe.

[@sjmpudding30]

Great to see you back Will feels like ages since your last video. Sounds like 2024 is going to be an interesting year for you and truly hope it’s a good one full of positive adventures with good people. Have a super Christmas and new year xx

[@soniayoung7531]

Heyy Will thanks for the update prayer everything works out for you,have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🌲

[@tmlwindowcleaningmaintenan2539]

legend thanks for all the content

[@sbjchef]

go full grand designs on your content with viewer polls for an annual competition that judges campers in different classes like "money no object", "rental", "nomad", "permanent homes", "family home", "loner", "low budget", "retro". Alongside that take all the best bits and incorporate them into your next build like George Clark. Thanks for shouting out mental health.

[@darenderbyshire1089]

Merry Christmas Will🎄

[@JudiDolliverAstley]

We love your vlogs of different camping vehicles! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas & and Happy, healthy New Year!

[@just_mengie9371]

Merry Christmas Will!!!! please continue doing what you love and can’t wait to see your cooking😂

[@jonathanrodger2867]

Merry Christmas Will. 😃

[@matthewyoung7554]

Merry Christmas Will. Looking forward to your next adventures in 2024

[@GordonjSmith1]

I am totally looking forward to seeing what you get up to! Mental health is really important - I think your perspective is excellent, as is your advice. Great that you are creating the world you need and deserve around you!

[@mohammadsohaibiqbal3055]

We love you lad, your outlook on life and exploring other people's projects, is hilarious, honest and down right funny, change as much as you want, just keep the fun and wholeness in if, do you and we got you, whatever you do, I will always watch (no politics please 😉)

[@victoriabroom2246]

Merry Christmas and happy new year

[@Deanrwp]

Hi Will, I love all the content you create, as I have been following you for quite some time now, I absolutely loved all the different camper vans you have been trying out, I cannot wait to see what new adventures you have next year 2024! Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎄and Happy New Year all the best for 2024 😊

[@annegibbs7867]

Merry Christmas Will, your channel has definitely changed since the days of cooking on your bed 😂 I wish you the very best for 2024🎉

[@BecsRae]

I'm relatively new to your channel, Will - only found it this year. So, I don't have a lot of knowledge about what you'd done before. I love the different van tours you've done. Honest and hilarious at the same time. Merry Christmas to you and your pals and look forward to new videos in 2024! :)

[@yellowbelly5982]

Thank you Will and Co you have kept me positive from what has been a tough year 😎 Keep um coming bro and merry crimbo to you and your team 🎅 xx

[@paulcooper8692]

Keep up the videos you do will have a great Christmas and a happy new year more videos in 2024 👍👍👍👍

[@RickyMcSpanish]

Re workshop, check out some local men sheds you might be surprised how kitted out some of them are.

[@cals5390]

Hey Will Merry xmas mister to you and yours. I love watching your crazy antics, so glad the channel is moving in the direction you want. We all watch because of you, you are a great presenter with so much charisma, it wouldnt matter what content you do. I too have my van and love it, but there is so much more to enjoy. Keep it up mister, love a realtime catchup if you ever get over to Australia, there will be a room for you in the rainforest just south of the Gold coast, all the very best wishes to you Cal.

[@chriscalvin5083]

Good video look forward to more videos

[@denisecafferky2248]

Happy Christmas Will 🎉

[@Deano1mtb]

Keep up the great videos Will, we love them all. 👍 Merry Christmas🌲🤶

[@NugHunter]

Mate your a proper legend keep going 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@peterskarratts1834]

Yes mate, old school build is definitely the way to go, can't wait mate, regarding your mental health, I'm no expert but I can see how happy you are when your with other people and things go wrong which is really funny for us viewers, it's great to see you happy and having a good time,🙏👍🤘

[@lejamesmelton3823]

I already thought you were amazing, now I know that YOU ARE AWESOME!

[@forestyforest]

Merry Christmas Will, all the best in 2024 🍻

[@WillsWhereabouts]

Thanks Simon, look forward to watching your adventures 🗻

[@JW-se1rk]

Try Mel’s Big Van Small World re. A workshop. Multiple campervan builders all in a big converted barn all bouncing ideas off eachother, seems like a cool place 🤙🏻 - and you can get lots of tips/help off everyone there too. From a ‘normal’ lad into Campervan’s too, keep it up Will 👊🏼.

[@vanandcountry]

Great update Will and Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

[@Lee-fh2wj]

Merry Christmas Will, love your new direction keep moving forward as it's awesome!!

[@joshuajeffrey1843]

See u next week

[@barbaramcgowan5864]

I loved all the camper van you tested my late. Father loved his Citroen Berlingo I made blackout curtains he got a mattress off folding bed tuck the backseat out a changeing tent with his cooker in and a toilet of he went with with camping club ❤

[@michael5764]

Great retrospective of 2023 and outlook for 2024! 😊🎉😊🎉

[@livingthedreambuildingthedream]

Merry Christmas will!! I love your channel looking forward to 2024 so excited. 🎉

[@andybrown6179]

Merry Christmas mate, hope u have a happy holidays🎉 🥃🥃

[@chox2001]

To be honest when the channel changed I only watched the videos that I had interest in. That was about half of them. I’m interested in the new idea hope you find a new project to build.

[@marcoperoni4735]

Merry Christmas mate 👍

[@mattgribben3691]

Cant wait Will! Merry Christmas mate, have a good one!

[@howardlake6178]

I saw a video about a camper today. The cupboards were so low that if you got up quickly you’d nut the bottom and knock yourself out. I see you’ve sensibly put yours at the foot end 😂 surprised the Caravelle was a favourite, but an engine transplant on one of those could be fun. Keep doing what you’re doing, I love your content

[@ketzk]

It’s nice to see someone doing what they love, your enthusiasm is contagious! Will happily follow along with the upcoming adventures.

[@Chris_Carini]

Great messages and I am sure they will help many. I love the way the channel is developing. Merry Christmas. 😀🌲

[@annrimmington8690]

Merry Christmas Will, hope you have a great time and look forward to all you get up to in 2024🎄👍🤭

[@lus3003]

Love your channel and your personality. Look forward to your videos. Thank you!

[@susugamushi]

Thank you so much about talking about your mental health. I am a recent subscriber and you come across so warm and funny. I wish you and your channel all the best. You’re inspiring me to get better and fight my mental health problems!

[@jaynelacore2269]

looking forward to whatever is next! thanks for sharing😀

[@MrPhil1812]

Happy Christmas will . Look forward to seeing your new content. Stay safe mate

[@alantouchwood]

speck to mel for a space at the chicken shed for your van build and good luck and a great year in 2024

[@duckypam]

Looking forward to seeing Mary in videos again! Hope you find a really great project

[@T0temp0leman]

Watching you build your van was some of my favorite KZbin content. I can't tell you how hard I laughed at those. But on the other hand, it was great watching you learn how to do all different things in your van. Gives me hope that I can one day live in a van 😂 Your comedy is great, personality is great, and you have a great drive to do the things to make you happy. I'll be watching your content no matter what direction it takes. Lee up the great work man. Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@roberthardy2013]

I want to build an ex delivery insulated van, sounds a great project.

[@alexbarton3020]

Happy Christmas lad. Looking forward to plenty more content in 2024! Competitive genre this van malarky! But you have it sussed out. Keep going mate ❤

[@BT-xm6ne]

I have been a fan of the van build & the new direction and the times you we out with a group of people and the solo stelth camps and the adventure you went on. Basically i've enjoyed everything you did on your channel this year it was a lot of fun to watch and be a part of. I would like to something live you could try maybe doing some of the van build vidos live this time. But you come first how you are feeling and your mental state always come first always.
