One of the greatest videos I’ve seen on KZbin. This is what KZbin is all about.

[@KombiLife]

Very creative Dylan, we're proud to be supporting this content on Patreon and encourage others to do so too. You're doing a fab job amigo

[@FloatingOrbProductions]

Thank you! I appreciate it. Glad to see your series in my feed again!

[@craigme2583]

Good on you guys. I can see you in your own boat later down the track...

[@SailingMissLoneStar]

Agree, we are supporters of both your channels! Sometimes when we are tired after a long passage we watch you guys and enjoy the van and kombi life!

[@JamesDailyTV]

Been here since the beginning man... love your story. Envious of your will and determination. You’re killin it, man.

[@samwebb585]

Dude. Couldn’t agree more about getting out and actually doing stuff to break the cycle. We hike, climb mountains, brew coffees in the park, ride bikes. Anything can become an adventure with the right mindset, and combatting depression with it is beautiful.

[@cav3man82]

Great narrative and breakdown of the logistics in your journey. Great job showing people how far a little resourcefulness can go in escaping the 9-to-5 grind. Keep on living the adventurous life and, lastly, I gotta say you are one of the few people in this age that can pull off the pirate hat!

[@SailingYachtZora]

awesome, i lived in a van for 12 months to save up for my boat. I moved aboard last week. See you on the water :)

[@tezzmosis]

You are such an inspiration! Been watching you a long time now and it's been amazing watching your channel grow, all the places you've seen and all the digital nomads you've met. Glad to see you keep chugging along, keep going! ✌️🖖

[@amilliontoms]

I first discovered your channel when you posted a minimalist packing video. It seems like ages ago, but you've really done a lot in a short time.

[@Andy.Shapiro]

Same. Love it

[@johnbroystonjr23]

Hey Dylan!!! YOU are the reason that I have altered my previously intended path. I just happened to watch one of your videos about a year+ ago, which caused me to watch other related videos and then ventured into VanLife. You have been instrumental in inspiring a plethora of souls away from the beaten path. I wish you well in your ventures AND adventures. SAFE travels, Be Careful Out There and THANK YOU for sharing.

[@silverhiker4549]

Dylan, we've been watching you for a long time. We want you to know that, we fucking love you. You are amazing and inspiring. So glad you're here. Keep on rocking across the world to be happy. We'll always support your happiness and healthy ways. Your life is a blessing to all who know you. 💚

[@rixanneh18]

Look at you go :) You deserve every second of success my friend. The books you recommended long ago helped kick my butt into the right direction too. From no hope to all the hope. I can't thank you enough

[@151yaron]

Which books if I may ask?

[@rixanneh18]

Pistachio it's listed up in the video description. It's called Tools of Titans, by Timothy Ferriss: goo.gl/8YEUSL And also by Tim, The 4-day Workweek is great too

[@diabeticbih8588]

I remember watching your van conversion video a year ago, I felt super inspired to get a van or live an adventurous lifestyle. I started watching the sailing la Vagabonde channel on KZbin and have taken sailing lessons for a year now. I plan to spend a few years in the navy and then buy my own sailboat. Thank you for sparking the adventure in me,

[@aaron___6014]

So many people hustle and never make, especially now that youtube is 40% ads and unrelated results for searches. Im glad you made it and didnt become a victim of depression.

[@spearfish]

Just think, if that solo female van girl wasn't attractive, you'd still be homeless.

[@carlkenyon4599]

I guess I'll always be homeless .

[@bob.evans.8679]

Auctaully he onlly has 2 videos with femails in them there not even his most popular videos either look back at them suprisinally he isnt a pimp with the thumbnails

[@mrmagdziarek]

@@carlkenyon4599 or homefree...

[@jimsjourney9347]

That was awesome! Loved your video! Good luck on your next journey.

[@erikvanconover]

keep going Dylan

[@FloatingOrbProductions]

Onward and sideways!

[@aaro3455]

oh shit erik conover😮

[@michael77d]

this video needs way more views and likes... amazing work Dylan so much respect for what you are doing and super inspiring!

[@mariahms.plantlove980]

keep on doing what you do. thank you for the inspiration. You posted this on the day my college junior year classes started. I find that to be ironic because my close group of free spirited friends slowly started dropping out and we all have a dream of travelling and eventually creating a self sustaining eco village/farm. I'm finishing school to align myself with my personal goals and holistic aspirations. In the meantime, watching creative videographers like yourself, keep me inspired and engaged with my dream. Hope the Mediterranean treats you well!

[@Interjrux]

FUCK YEAH MY GUY! I Just quit my job and im moving to las vegas in an hour with nothing but my backpack

[@RenegadeADV]

I know you are already discovering how much better boat life is than van life! You meet the best people out here!

[@evopwrmods]

Your only limitation is your imagination. I so look forward to see; just how far you take your life. So FAR so AWESOME !!!!!!!

[@SiberianRomeo]

Randomly got recommended this video and gotta say, mate, your comedic timing is spot on.

[@clintonwoosley3094]

Very cool. Congratulations man. That looks like serious fun. Proves my favorite saying..." nothing worthwhile is easy, nothing easy is worthwhile. ..."

[@fathomitout]

Amazing, an excellent refreshing way to tell a story! Look forward to seeing where this goes ... Thanks for sharing.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Good Luck with the new boat. I have watched so many of your videos and I am constantly reminded so much of my boat; a 1979 Kalik 33' which I will probably have to give away after so much love, sweat, and tears. When I bought her, all I was thinking about was racing her....which I did, but mostly I had to start from the beginning learning about diesel engines, electric systems, water systems, rigging and so on. The learning curve was steep!

[@emilyolyvia1199]

So I came here because I just bought a chevy g20 and needed inspiration. But now I'm in love with this human.

[@simpleartofhealing286]

Fun, inspiring and well done video. The adventure on the sea begins! May the force be with you!

[@LL-sq8se]

I really admire your guts! I don't watch all the time but I have checked on you every here and there. You have tremendous courage! Stay safe, amazing person!👍🙋🕊️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Are you Jack Sparrow now? Also, I'll be in Barcelona in October. I'd love to catch up if you're still somewhere in the area.

[@FloatingOrbProductions]

Currently in Montenegro!

[@oQsR]

Nice video! Congrats on the long ways you have come bro, keep up the good work and be safe out there in opens waters!

[@jamesart9]

I absolutely love the way you have made this video. Great sequencing, imagery and content. First time I've seen a video of yours, but i will be checking your back catalogue and keeping an eye out for more in the future. Thanks.

[@chelseacagle2347]

I have been watching your videos from the beginning. I love you and your journey. Keep going, Dylan!

[@obsidianprime1724]

Watched this video for the fifth time. I am truly inspired by your journey. Wishing you all the adventure and smooth sailings!

[@AstronautOtto]

im a little nerd working an IT job, and I really enjoy my super meticulously planned life, BUT.... i really admire your talent and go-with-the-flow, free spirited, adventurous lifestyle :)

[@braevance6421]

You're absolutely amazing.

[@MyWanderingIsland]

Awesome Story! Absolutely impressive and inspiring! All the best! Franzi and Toni ❤️

[@AishaMthegodd4m4zon]

Dylan this was hella inspiring, man. I'm nowhere near ready for sailboat life (I was in the Navy for years, I'm soured on boats lol), but I am ready for van life. Your channel has been so insightful, creative, and informative! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

[@TheBigfoot567]

Amazing video! Makes me want to rewind my life about 40 years. Thanks!!!

[@jasonthomas5925]

Your nuts man! Love it ;))) A lot of work went into that post . Keep it up and good luck ;))

[@End3rWi99in]

Probably won't see this, but having just lost my job and not having much direction, I sure as hell wish I could figure out where to start. Montana is a dream. Don't know how to achieve it. I have a great deal of respect for what you've accomplished.

[@daryl906]

Bro I was with you near the start, proud how far you've come.

[@dayknowltonjr]

So cool dude thank you for doing this I’ve been struggling with depression lately and love your method doing stuff. THANK YOU

[@vanlifenomadgipsygirlcanad2195]

[@mangoauthority2897]

[@chloedoes]

Love how radically transparent you are about this life passage. Admirable :)

[@CandEAdventures]

Awesome, always wanted to learn to sail. This video is incredible motivation towards that goal.

[@TheEarthandyou]

I watched the whole film. You are a good film maker. Good actor. Good writer. Good man. Ha Nice boat... spacious inner cabin. Carry on! Well done.

Very Nice Sir ! Well done on following your hearts path !! Inspiring

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Wicked for once a sailing vlog I can relate to! From hitchhiking to a mini bus to a offshore sailing vessel!

[@johnberry8117]

Cool story! Just goes to show what a man and a dream combined with passion n inspiration can achieve! Way to go bro!

[@cali_weejock]

Subscribed 😀 There’s many KZbinrs out there that think they can tell a story by words and visuals. Then there’s you! You can certainly create content that’s captivating. I stumbled across this episode by accident but happy to report KZbins algorithm worked in my favour. Many thanks for sharing. Safe journeys 👍

[@nickcoverdale]

This video made me smile so many times. Thank you for your videos dude!

[@dillonbarkemeyer7652]

All the thumbs up! ... As I watch this video, I am riding the metro in Shanghai China. Tons of people gathered around me in curiosity as to to what I am watching on my phone, and how I am able to escape the great firewall of China. From those viewing who knew not what to expect (even with the language barrier; smiles and laughter everywhere. For once friendly smiles inhabit the faces of once blank stares that never hinted happiness. Cheers bro!

[@phillipwareham]

I'm watching from Guangzhou lol.

[@lindaroyal8161]

AWESOME Video, Awesome way to get from A - Z. Congrats.

[@MrRourk]

Get your sailing certs and with your scuba cert you can do charters. Plus boat delivery jobs.

[@barbarapalmer2831]

Awesome!! Live your dreams!!

[@brianpetersen3429]

Most impressive video! You certainly know how to tell a compelling story visually. Great sense of adventure that captivates the imagination.

[@mikeyvlogvagabond1451]

Not gonna lie I’ve watched this video like 7 times already 😂 inspiration is awesome 👏👏 thanks Dylan.

[@nomadicjourneys8693]

Awesome story, so inspirational! I’ve been subscribed for a while and always loved your videos. They just get better and better. I’m surprised you haven’t blown up yet. I’m sure it’s coming soon. You deserve it. I’ll be looking forward to the next video

[@LivingInAVan]

Wow. You are a fantastic filmmaker and story teller. You are also quite inspiring. Best wishes!

[@MobileDwellings]

Sick video my friend!

[@MarieJohnson]

Dylan, this video is outta control! That boat is awesome, she's a beauty!

[@kristiantangmadsen4649]

Amazing video, love the style, editing, and general look. Great storytelling, love your general silliness keep it up, and I'll keep watching :)

[@FloatingOrbProductions]

Hello! I set out months ago with a vision that seemed ridiculous, now it’s reality. What is your vision?

[@BobFlavinVideo]

Ya know, I'm subbed for ages and I knew something cool would happen if I hung on for awhile and this is the reward! Well done Dylan, if you ever land in Ireland you'll be made very welcome.

[@EarthStory]

Film-make with you someday, Mr. Magaster! Your creative chops are razor sharp, I am mad stoked to see you making more personal-story content. Godspeed, FLORBians!

[@nullish0]

I feel like if you can see it in your minds eye. You can see it come to fruition in reality. Your experience has done nothing but cement that insight.

[@kristiantangmadsen4649]

My vision is full time travel / vanlife, going to try it out in my parents car that is long enough to fit a 6ft bed in the back, gonna do that for a week starting three weeks from now. Gotta start somewhere.

[@colinwood8998]

Sailing on the 37’ sailboat I’m restoring with my piano while doing recordings and performing along the way!

[@peterclausen7391]

Super inspiring brother! Keep adventuring!

[@400millionbymonday6]

Damn your fuckin awesome man I'm 21 driving a semi across the nation exploring the states and saving for a 2006 zo6 Corvette then headed back to college. Haha I love your spirit man you've found the light within
