Finding Strength in Solitude

[@scoylevids]

“Solitude has a way of inviting emotions to the surface”- Christian Schaffer. Just brilliant, i so appreciate you and your work. Thx !

[@PureGlide]

There's a few basic tools I recommend every camper owner gets, including: - A simple Clamp Meter, so you can check voltage (e.g. battery, or are wires working and live), continuity (i.e. are wires joined or not), and current through wires (to check which wire is in use for example). - Wire cutters and Strippers, so you can easily cut and remove the plastic from the ends of cables. - Wago wire connectors. So you can join any 2 cables easily, even if they are different sizes. Great for temporary or permanent joins. The 3 and 5 way ones can be used as a little bus bar/splitter too. Handy to add another item to an existing cable. - A bit of spare cable and fuses of various sizes. - If you have a lot of crimps in your van, buy a crimping tool and spare crimps. - A small, battery powered drill, and set of driving bits and drill bits. So handy for everything! Smaller is good for tight spaces which are common in the van. - A flexible drill extension, so you can get around corners or into really tight spots to screw a screw.

Wow, a crossover of 2 of my favourite KZbinrs, amazing 😂

[@ChristianSchaffer]

I’m takin notes! 👩🏼‍💻 thank you

[@joeblow1942]

As a fellow introvert weirdo, I am certain that I would prefer the occasional pangs of loneliness vs the extroverts constant need for human contact.

[@ChristianSchaffer]

You and me both 🤓

[@lifeofjonboy]

LOL You said it. That was quite a word though. LOL. You'd think someone who can't spell would look it up. (wiping tears of laughter from eyes.) I love you Margo. I hope it doesn't burn too much.

[@garymoon2829]

Fully agree! Her blend of visuals, music, and heartfelt and inspiring commentary far exceeds anything I've seen elsewhere online.

[@kneatly]

As an introvert, I'm always somewhat conflicted about how much isolation is normal. Thank you for making isolation feel normal and healthy.

[@pamelarw58]

Christian I personally am SO glad you continued with KZbin because of the “quality” of your Vlogs ! Those mountains were sensationally colourful, the light & shade were breathtaking! The clouds & rainbow were gorgeous! Well done with the water pump installation ….there you did it, most people would search KZbin for tips. Take care & loving your format being the best videography I have seen plus it is calming thank you! 💜🤗🇦🇺🌞

[@WayneThePoet]

Christian, your storytelling is like laughter between shy people. Warm and real, appreciative of the little things… and the grand ones too. We all wish for contact, even if it’s just for awhile, but there is peace in loneliness. The hard balance. Thanks for another great episode, the scenic nightscapes and your dancing swirls were wonderful. ✌🏼

[@lakikaia]

Your comment was beautifully articulated, like that of a poet. Then I read your handle, “WayneThePoet”. I am a poet as well. I’m many things, but a poet at my core. Thank you for your gift of words!🤍✨

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

Your words, so beautifully expressed, explain why you're so drawn to Christian's work

[@darrellbrown8165]

You know, you may be out there alone when you capture your moments, but we're here when you share them with us. Great work as always. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone, but in our own way we love you and your work. Stay safe out there.

[@kat.b.3556]

Yes! so fun to be her passenger sitting here at home, but wishing I could be there too.

[@JP1]

Christian, as a fellow solo nomad, I absolutely loved this video in particular. Your vulnerability, creativity, and insights are very inspiring and helpful. Your production quality is also always top-notch as well. The right visuals, flawless audio and levels, and that photographer’s eye that you’ve mastered. Know that others out here feel you and can relate very much. Someday, when serendipity knocks on your door, you will be more than ready. Love and hugs, Joe.

[@ChristianSchaffer]

thank you Joe 🥲🙌🏻 happy travels out there

[@vampireslayer1989]

Great work Christian. Very talented story teller, videographer and editor.

[@ChristianSchaffer]

I appreciate you 🥲 also you have a cool YT handle haha

And plumber.

[@michaelcampbell7377]

Seems like you found that strength and so much more. I like how music opens certain parts of ourselves depending on the path we are on at a particular point in time. Great video as always!

[@todaywithtom]

I am a fellow photographer and have dabbled with photography my whole life. I wish I could find a way to express the gratitude I feel in watching your video tonight. I appreciate your work. I can tell you that you have incredible talent. I also appreciate your inspiration. I write to you tonight from my camper by a lake as I watch the sunset, partially inspired by you to be out here not far from where are you filmed that video. My thoughts tonight before I watched your video were that of solitude and reflection...and although I am living my dream of finally getting out and living the adventure I've always wanted to, I do wish I had somebody to share it with. I don't say that for pity or sympathy, but because your video resonated with what I was feeling as I watched it. It is a soul-searching and spiritual awakening of sorts and I love every minute of it. I am on a crosscross-country trip and have toyed with the idea of creating video segments of each stop along the way and the challenges that I've had, but the creative bug to do this eludes me (despite the fact that I think some people might enjoy watching.) Please keep doing what you're doing and stay safe. Much love

[@ChristianSchaffer]

camper by a lake, watching sunset - that sounds pretty amazing ☺️

[@deborahg4599]

It’s harder than what people think, being alone in this lifestyle or any lifestyle. But better to be alone than to be with the wrong person. So Many people don’t understand or appreciate what we do and see everyday and the sheer beauty of it! Bravo again! ❤

[@rfleming7883]

This video is stunning. You have real skill beyond what most can even imagine. It isn't the equipment, though the image clarity is fantastic, but it is your ability to 'see' what others cannot and put it together in a meaningful video. Wow!

[@ChristianSchaffer]

I appreciate you 🥹🙏🏻

[@itscarolinemary]

Agreed, she has such a good eye! She captures sunsets and sunrises like no other 😊 sometimes when I watch other videos in my head I’ll be like “if only they zoomed in or framed the shot in this way, they’re missing out!” Never with Christian!!! 👏

[@garymoon2829]

@@itscarolinemary Photography is all about THE LIGHT. Most people don't get that, and the simple key to better light in photographs is to prioritize shooting when the sun is low in the sky, or even below the horizon, or when the sun is filtered by thin clouds. You don't shoot the sun, you look for what the sun is doing to landscape, water, clouds, patterns. Christian's work shines because she's so attuned to the light and the resulting colors, patterns, shapes, and textures. I just love what she sees, and captures! What looks simple and obvious....isn't that at all. Christian is a master visual artist...consistently excellent.

[@climbhigh96]

Christian Schaffer you’re normalizing vulnerability and out-loud introspection , and combining it with exquisite storytelling and filmmaking and throwing in some van maintenance and problem solving for good measure … a new genre I think 🤔👏🏽❤👍🏽

[@garymoon2829]

@climbinghigh96 Yes, I totally agree! As a professional photographer, I particularly appreciate how attuned she is to LIGHT. Often, her images are entirely about the light for its own sake. I love what she sees. This is not easy to master.

[@bannerpage]

3 things: 1-stunning scenery as always. 2-diggin the ponytail look. 3-great DIY plumbing job.

[@dis-springs]

Another great video, Christian. Been a fan since the Van Tour video. Also... Been single, been half of a couple. And no, being single isn't great, but... It's better than in-laws, compromises, power-struggles and mind-reading.

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

Awesome video and narration, Christian! I always feel as though these are mini-documentaries where we get to ride shotgun with you for a brief period of time, I love it. I hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend! I'm spending mine installing a garden at my place in Northern AZ, the weather has been exceptional the past few weeks. ~ Brian

[@ChristianSchaffer]

Thank you Brian 🥲🙏🏻 I actually can’t wait for the day I have my own place and can dig into gardening

[@OffGridBackcountryAdventures]

@@ChristianSchaffer it's been a nice change of pace, I really enjoy working with dirt so I've been having a great start to summer getting my gardens dialed in. One of my side hustles while I was nomading before KZbin took off was a seasonal gardener for the town of Mt Crested Butte (had so much fun there in the summer). I loved the freedom of the open road for all those years but I think that season of my life has ended as my primary focus is making this property my home. I've chosen to not use heavy machinery instead doing everything by hand. I'm using 100% reclaimed materials to build everything, these efforts have resulted in a very cool look/vibe to the place. Hope you have a great holiday, thank you again for another awesome video!

[@CodyBunker]

Damn. The way you use color in your cinematic shots and in your photography is just amazing. I truly enjoy that.

Christian ..... you are my #1 favorite artist. Your ability to match music, storylines, and philosophy, with your photography and the tempo, is so swooth. Thank you for sharing your craft, your pshycology, your sweet creativity, your extreme beauty and yes, I agree, had realized the only way to take 'extreme bliss' to a higher level, is to share the bliss with a 'special someone.' However I will say, I personally get an extra boost of bliss, by what you share. You are so special. I'm so thankful. Very humbly grateful to you Christian Schaffer..... thank you🙏✨️🎶💜🌸🎶 Been 'Vanlife Living' into my 23rd year now. And yes, there is a special unique goodness about being deeper within yourself. Its okay, and sometimes it's fantastic, yet I admire those that have a "special someone' with whom they can confide in, and team with, as I think it's true that with a real partner, there can be a lot more even though solo is okay and even fantastic. Calmly onward Christian Schaffer, sending good vibrations... and again... thank you🙏✨️ Forest Sky🦋

Christian I just wanted to say that I have been a subscriber for the past couple years and I keep coming back to hear your inspiring and intellectual self analysis while seeing images and video of some of the most beautiful landscapes anywhere. I am a music junkie. I relate my emotions, my life events to music -- streaming music services are my jam. Its funny how somebody says something, or I see something that immediately recalls a verse, a melody that fits. When I am notified about a new episode, I always wait until there is a period of uninterrupted quiet time so I can sit back and be inspired! I am more mechanical then artsy, but you are an artist. Good job on replacing the water pump I knew you had it in you! I wish you safe adventures, safe travels and eternal happiness!

Coming home from 3m van trip around Greece, today I enjoyed watching your movie. Wonderful thoughts about solitude traveling ... my mind is agreeing.

Bon voyage!

[@chris4YT]

@@ChristianSchaffer that’s true 😉

[@florianhaertel]

So true what you say in "it can be sad sometimes": it's hard, tough, sometimes rough but absolutely worthwhile to stay with oneself during those long stretches of solitude. One needs to equally let the good, the bad and the ugly happen. That way we do understand the difference between alone and lonely, and only then can we appreciate and embrace company. Not an easy journey. You sure make it look more colourful then it often is...

[@lydiarowe491]

Beauty in the sky scapes and the barren red hills are amazing …you have captured it all so well…pushing the fear barriers is difficult…saying it can’t be done doesn’t work when you are isolated..well done you..the great escape tests everything possible..but the rewards cannot be measured..that’s for sure …keep sharing you have created your world for others to enjoy..❤

[@softycadence3340]

If I had to choose only one van lifer to watch, no question or doubts - it would be yours hands down. Every scene or view you capture is a work of art. I get the same serenity as in a museum marveling over beautiful masterpieces. Not kidding or exaggerating at all. It encapsulates what a fulfilling van life should be. Just keep in mind every time you set up your camera in challenging weather conditions, your hard work is greatly appreciated 😊

[@ArtistGoneWild]

My shurflo water pump failed in October 2022 and it took the dealer 5 months to schedule me in for a fix in March 2023. It was during the winter months so I wasn't camping, but it taught me the importance of learning how to do simple fixes on my own whenever possible. Additionally it builds confidence! :)

[@rickchollett]

When I lived in Colorado I would drive off into the mountains some weekends just to get away from everyone. I was never disappointed by the views. And the solitude was very refreshing.

[@user-ri5ul6lt7m]

First comment I've left on KZbin, ever. I solved my same heating problem in my older Sprinter by installing a direct vented propane fireplace by Dickinson Marine. It can either be low power 12v or no power. Propane runs the fireplace, electricity runs the fan, which you don't have to turn on if your battery is low. It doesn't heat the van, but it does heat me. I also like watching the flames at night. I mounted mine at the end of the counter, over the bed, which converts to my dinette. It made a big difference, because my diesel heater kills my battery in one night. I installed it myself, but had the propane fitting connection checked by a certified RV propane repair shop. It was really straightforward, . . kind of like your pump install. Thanks for your videos. I find them comforting. All the best, Sandra

I recently found your videos. What a treasure. I also travel in my converted dodge Grand Caravan a few times a year. I love the solitude after a brain injury.

[@israelcontreras5332]

I am an extrovert. But I have had times where I was able to learn how to be alone. But this point in my life has me around people regularly. I envy what you are doing and what you are learning…because now that I am no longer alone for very long if at all I realize I didnt appreciate the time I spent alone when I was younger. When you say you say it would be nice to share these moments with someone, i think it misses that someone else would probably mess up the moment. I think one thing my time alone taught me is that there is nothing like experiencing what you are experiencing alone. There is nothing in this world like experiencing a well cooked meal alone in some of the settings in which you are.

Solitude is where we find ourselves in the hands of silence, allowing our minds to wander freely . In the depths of solitude, we discover the beauty of our planet. Each landscape becomes a window into the past, inviting us to contemplate our place in existence. Embracing solitude, we become both witness and participant in the symphony of nature, humbled by its enormity and inspired by its boundless creativity. you did a great job on beauty of our beautiful planet.....

Great job with the water pump! I aways look forward to your videos. The scenery is spectacular and you capture it so well with your photography. But this time you grabbed me immediately with the opening song. The second line that says, "I honestly can't believe I'm as old as I am", is something I think about all the time. In a few months I'll be 72 years old. I just can't believe that I'm actually in my 70's! And then reality hits when I think of all the close friends that are no longer here. And the fact that health issues have forced me to postpone my extended road trip until next year. So I'll continue to enjoy your wonderful videos as a substitute. To all young people I come in contact with, I aways encourage them to engage their passions. And if it involves something physical, don't wait too long. Go for it! The time goes by so fast. As far as solitude, I'm so used to it, I actually prefer it. Continued safe travels.

Being alone isn't the same as being lonely, but it did resonate when you spoke of occasions that you would've liked to have shared with someone else.
