You were a great boat roommate! Come back anytime!

[@MatthewMCreadie]

Beautiful boat man

[@devolutionone]

So cool, I'm way too anxious for van life but boat life, hell yeah! Less chance of having some weirdo knocking at the door at 3am.. 😄

[@BayareaXotics]

Dudes at the end were shooting a music video or what 😂😂

[@Llamaington]

Come back any time make sure to bring the 496k subs.

[@BrandonGross]

@@MatthewMCreadiethank you!

[@MOTORVESSELFREEDOM]

I’ve lived aboard my boats for 7 years and boat wins all the time. With that said, maintenance is much more. I pay 2K a month for dock space in Florida. Weather is also a huge difference. Boaters follow the weather everyday. Doing van life for 6 months and boating for 6 months is the perfect balance

[@whohasthedrugs]

what do you do for work? if you dont mind me asking

[@happythepenguincarrot6903]

also there's very little options for house insurance.

[@ByronVersion2]

Don't forget to take a DUM9 🥑🤯

[@luv2stack]

Your dock space cost more than my rent

[@ByronVersion2]

Hold Ya FARD 🤯

[@stevenjblyth]

Yoooooo! As a native Pittsburgher and fan of the channel, so stoked you stopped by! Was so hype seeing everything Pittsburgh in a video of yours. Was hoping you’d come through when you drove up the East Coast a few months ago but this was sweet!

[@UNCULTUREDSTEVE]

i know dude! i live up near punxsy . i was stoked when he said pittsburgh! lol also, nice name steve! lol

[@jeff9056]

That rope swing was sick!

[@miguelvazquez9087]

no way brando had to style on you like that on the first jump... insane video love the vibes always a treat when ryan drops a vid

I knew who this was as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Recently followed him!

[@Bxr12]

I’m a Canadian living in the Caribbean so I had no pre-conceived notions of what Pittsburgh would be like but when I hear Pennsylvania honestly I kinda think boring but holy crap Pittsburgh is GORGEOUS

[@shannonking6328]

The surrounding countryside is also pretty and green.

[@laurieryoung]

New Ryan Twomey video - my week just got a whole lot better!

[@ritawoodfork391]

No matter what Brandon says - I love your van Ryan. Plus you cook and have good sense - not jumping off some high ass thing😊

[@AayeJade]

I’m from uniontown so been a Pittsburgh fan my whole life, it was so nostalgic seeing the city in this video, Brandon seems cool af and that music video at the end made me LOL 😂 love to see it! What a great video Ryan!🔥

[@Tom-kj6hz]

Ryan, When my younger son was a student at Pitt, we went to the same game you were at. We also stayed at a hotel and walked across the bridge. The score was 3-0 and so much rain. It was a birthday gift so I bought great seats on the 45 yard line. Love your videos, Tom from Tampa

[@kfeldinAZ]

What a fun trip! Loved going with you for this experience!

[@ShaunMichael5]

Definitely feels like old school vids. Great trip

[@evelynlobos1354]

that swing thing was bloody so much fun ...yes a bit freaky! but really tempting as it looks so much fun! I think that van life is stressful of finding where to park, then you need a toilet and shower. He has a shower and toilet on the boat! A kitchen! A beautiful bed. A chilled entertanment area! and balcony deck area to sunbake and have fun. I love how you love to cook and he is the mechanic and captain! Works out well! Brandon is not much of a chef but you are! He doesn't even have salt and pepper lol. Air fryers are awesome! But the boat life is good if you are in an area where the sun is out 80% of the time. Plus you can park the boat safely at some of those places where like Brandon you park and stay for an amount per month. Works out cheap as he does not have to pay for bills as it is all included. The e Bikes are such a great way to get around once you have docked, great way to see where you have decided to explore. Its amazing how long it takes to get from one area to the other. So how he would have to do his laundry at a laundry mat. I guess not doing gym as much as he showers on the boat or the place where he is docked they have showers and toilets for those who pay to stay.

[@DestinyMarie-ob7lm]

I've watched every single video of yours and you are the one that has made me want to just live tiny. Whether it be in a vehicle or a tiny home. Even my kids are willing to take the leap with me. You're an awesome person and keep doing what your doing!

[@sherryreinhardt3845]

So happy to see you two guys together again!!! Y'all are my two favorite guys 🙂 Please do more colabs!

For a change, a completely refreshing vlog! Loved it!! Specially the rope jump part!

[@kimvanderlaan4120]

Your content is just A+ I saw both versions since I follow both of you and yours is my favorite! No shade. Chop shop can’t wait!!

Thanks for taking us on this adventure. Was a cool ass video, dude

[@vpaint1773]

Man props to actually doing it and facing the fear!!!

[@aechmane]

10:46 this whole sequence was fire. like a movie scene

I’m from Pittsburgh so maybe that’s why I say this but this was your best video yet Ryan 🙏🏾❤️ (aside from the amazing series)

So you’re saying I have a chance…

[@leannefrost411]

Wow thoroughly enjoyed those rope swing shots soo good! I've been waiting for your pov of the colab ❤

[@kennethhacker3014]

Been working on stern drives for 30 years and one thing i noticed is people run there boats at 4 thousand and 4500 rpm,if you run a stern drive at 3500 rpm they wiil last forever.most stern drives are only rated for 4500 4600 rpm... thought id put my two sence in lol...great footage and thank you for the upload..be safe brothers

[@_Delta_P_]

Two cents***

[@TheMattunes08119]

also as a lifelong steelers fans i did too, but the stadium is known as acrisure (acri, pronounced kind of like acrid just without the d at the end) then sure is just the normal pronunciation, the field is still called Heinz Field.

[@RitaHuffer]

Awesome of you both to taking me along 😎✌️

[@lawrencemitchell1681]

Pumped for this one !! At the same time feels anti-climactic when you said this was going to be a long video 😅❤

[@proofofexistence1580]

My wife found your channel months ago when she was trying to make pizza from scratch, then I started watching your videos and now my 2.5 year old loves watching with me. The family loves your videos ❤️ hard to find a video I haven't watched lol ❤️

[@ChildofMoon801]

Brandon is such fun person :D what a great video. You seem so relaxed and like you enjoy the change of pace!

[@mattbanville9355]

We do a yearly boys trip to Pittsburgh everytime the Phillies come to town so we were just at that exact spot in July! Glad you got to experience boat life. I’ve had a boat in Port Elgin, Ontario harbour for the last 15 years! Loved everything about this video!

[@MikeyG0719]

I’m starting w/ van life, then getting a plane, and then a boat. LAND AIR AND SEA!!!!

I do the van life thing often and just returned home from a Tx to Ca to Wa back to Tx in my F150 but going back out this time with my 1987 ciera 2150 pocket cruiser to do a combination van life boat life which I also did in the past. My boat is only 21 feet but has all the comforts yet easy enough to tow. I'm really poor but still manage to pull it off!

[@ajmerz412]

As someone who has lived in PGH all my life, thank you for appreciating our great city!

[@lauraslanesvanandphototravels]

Brandon is one of my faves here on youtube! He's such a nice guy, always replying to my comments and I love his adventures...because I would never do most of them! lol...I first saw him, I think, on Exploring with Josh...also a very cool creator...love the whole KZbin creator family!

[@jamaaljamaal55]

Yall having a music video on the boat is hilarious 😂😂

[@jimnunya1253]

Nice raft. The key number one thing is getting a reasonable priced reasonable cabin cruiser or decent RV, maybe a sprinter with rear slide out, small side slide and a wraparound awning with bug net. Or a converted box truck or shuttle van. Getting something in your price range is that key until you need to expand or just change up then hopefully you've been saving and preparing!!! Preparing!!! There will be changes!! I been in a big hoopty van for 1.5yrs now and it is what you make it when it's nothing to begin with. I decided to live in it after a string of poor landlords and high rent. Things were going sweet until I lost that job I had, now I'm kind of a fancy homeless guy. I was about to get a trailer an was looking right before the job loss. RV supplier wants 2 current paystubs before they'll deal. Anyways... I have full comfy bed, lights of every imaginable kind even an single led moon projector that's actually really nice and a sunset replicator led light with 3 diff sunset colors 🌆🌇 and then awesome LED strands of all types. And projection TV thingy. If I have them on and slide my door open, it looks like I should be selling street food! 😮😂 Yes I have disco Ball too if I need. I just can't stand up in here and my knees aren't good. 😢 Eventually here by Christmas hopefully I'll be getting a trailer already built to tow but really to park for a cheap rent situation. (Maybe my ex's driveway for a bit once her divorce goes through. 👍🙏 We have a son!) Then I can park ugly van and just drive my SLK280 around like a normal me. That's her to the left in the bubble.

[@LazerGarden]

I just bought a carver 32 Mariner. Currently renovating the inside. Getting into boat life is scary and exciting!

[@DredLowkey]

Glad to see you back dude! What a cool experience.

[@joemeyers3127]

Pittsburgh is such an underrated city! So beautiful where the rivers come together. They show the incline in ‘Flashdance’ and I think the girl takes her bike. (Haven’t seen it since the 80s!) Envy you this trip.

[@donnawinters8107]

That was the most awesome surprise! A boat video!!! Have to say that is a great idea to travel that way. I used to own a boat with a cabin. Best time of my life 👍

[@marybb3390]

Never a dull moment in the life of Ryan Twomey! Loved the video. Great and entertaining content! 👍👍👍

[@OmgItsJustinL]

Its so cool to see you so close to where I am from! I live about 45 minutes east of Pittsburgh. Great vid!

[@WIKDstixofcheese]

What a life you both live !! Awesome video !! Stay blessed lads 😊🙏

[@siriusstar99]

I lived aboard my boat for 25 years now I’m in a Van and I hate it land is so dirty among other annoying things , boat life is the absolute best ,hope to get back to it soon .

[@aquagamer1212]

Why did you switch? Just to try out vanlife?

[@siriusstar99]

The ever rising cost , regulations, lack of liveaboard Marinas or even wetslips and the Hurricane's this past year made things even worse.

[@MrRedBeard1983]

As a DMV native, you'd better not go to another Steelers game ever again and root for them XD just kidding! I just wanted to say you have been a huge inspiration for me to want to start Van LIfe and now.. Boat Life. Much love, and keep up the amazing work, you're killing it! Also i have to give a C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS

[@frozenoem1]

Best I recall BOAT=Break Out Another Thousand for repairs on both my diesel and gasoline powered boats. The joy of winterizing or hauling by road to warmer climates. Water warmers to prevent freezing ocean or lake water. Or pulling out and putting back in water. Loved that first oopsie on Haulout.also loved the on ground bit where had to be hauled out to check the hull for leaks, and locate.

[@paradoxparade1]

As the old saying goes, the two happiest or best days of a boater's life are the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it.

[@jennifersanchez4040]

That was a fun video. I’ve never been to Pennsylvania, it was neat to see it’s outlined by a river!

[@TheMattunes08119]

as someone from butler if you are gonna hang around the PA area i'd highly recommend going upto kane, its about 2 hours north of pittsburgh, beautiful national park land with some landmarks like the viaduct (old railroad bridge that got partially knocked down by a tornado, so they put an observation deck at the end of it) and in terms of food they got a tiny little restaurant called texas hot lunch that's been there for a very long time, the miners used to have lunch there back in the day. (its not in its original location, way back in the day they put the original restaurant on logs and rolled it to its current location when it was made of wood.)

[@colingillis6167]

I wish you guys do this again ASAP ILL WATCH IT FROM START TO END CONSTANTLY. Good job !

Well not full time full time. You have your apartment that you stay in between adventures you film for your channel. But I still love what you do. It looks like so much fun!

Finally an upload from the GOAT Van Life

[@jennsadventures84]

Hey, to each their own. We're hoping to get an empty nester's boat. To "camp" in the lake during the summer. I grew up with a boat. I didn't care for it as a kid. But so appreciative for the experience.

[@PizzaTravels]

I am totally considering boat life, for me I would like a sailboat. Only problem is,in my area live aboard moorage in impossible to find. Some marinas have a 25 year waiting list

[@SeizeTheAdventureCo]

I always thought a boat with a cuddy is the ULTIMATE camp rig. Add an e-bike and you have epic set up

[@spider-spectre]

Thats a sick boat, only thing is it needs a proper name. And i dont care what anyone says, its 'pot-abl(e)'. It just makes sense and Im pretty sure thats how the word was made. Like with most suffix/prefix additions to words.

[@JuanCarbajal-oe5pj]

Much love Ryan love your videos

[@wessebaggers]

Im used to boat life vs van life ! I love the water 💧 ❤❤ great viedo

[@ArthurEngle-fr2sr]

Ahh man! I lived in Pgh for awhile. Whenever you dive in any of that water I'm always thinking you're gonna hit a turd. Maybe up the Allegheny near Warren, but anywhere near the city and down is dangerous! You'll be feeling great once you get down here to Florida for sure. I'm never spending more than a week at a time in pgh EVER again! Stay safe! Heck, you might be down here already from what I've seen...

[@SOLDOZER]

Boat life is way more expensive and difficult than van life.

[@robertdelgado7274]

Great video Ryan I think is one of your best yet. That rope was really awesome and looked like a lot of fun!

[@keryreece1788]

I remember that game. It was Monday night Football. The way that punt stuck in the field was crazy. 😂

[@amandagreggs7869]

Narrow boating in the UK. British Canals. This would be neat content and a great vacation!

[@baconberries8097]

I feel like some kind of lightweight E moto, like the Surron Ultra Bee would be ideal for living on a boat. That bike is fully street legal but it's small and light enough that you could probably fit it on a boat of this size. I'm big into motorcycles, and regular electric bicycles are just a little too limited on where they can go (though I guess it heavily depends on the city) . Especially since you'd be chasing the warm weather anyway, I'd love to give that a try.

Boat life is perfect for me. I live on a 33' Sea Ray on the Great Lakes in the summer. Thing is my marina provides me 2 parking spot. One for my camper van. And one for my convertible.

Thank you Ryan. I enjoyed the implicit Vanlive to boatlife comparison but could you put up a real scoreboard of pro/con in your next video? I'd love to know which one wins out for real.
