Congratulations! You and Jocelyn are truly living the dream! I look forward to seeing this new chapter in your story through your videos!

[@roydoggy]

Taku, I’ve been watching your channel for the past three years especially during my two deployments. You and Jocelyn have inspired many past/future coastal camping trips, foraging, and exciting recipes that help me stay motivated while I’m currently overseas in a land locked country. I’m beyond stoked for your new episodes/adventures in the sprinter. Hope to see you out on the coast later in 2021. Keep up the great content.

[@Hook2Cook]

Man, your monologue about what you would be doing if it wasn’t for KZbin was so inspiring bro. Cheers to another amazing year. 😭 beautiful.

[@alspalavahut9072]

Taku, I have enjoyed your channel for the last year and a half. I stumbled across you while I was healing after surgery. Short and sweet, keep up the great work. I look forward to following a van lifer who does catch clean and cook.

[@frankmagana8237]

I am so freaking happy for y’all. And I appreciate how thankful and gracious you are of all your success. I think both of you are wonderful people. I get so excited when y’all post something new. I can’t wait for the upcoming renovation videos on the new sprinter. Thank you for all the wonderful content.

[@danielmccutcheon3708]

Going to assume the cooking set up in the van, is going to be the best on KZbin. Which I'm excited to see

[@jhaire79gmail]

congrats ! welcome to the van family. Ive lived in mine for 3 years between Tahoe and Santa cruz. My best advice is don't wait until it is totally finished before you get on the road and experience the freedom. get out there and Keep it simple. The best way to determine what you need in your van build is to take it on the road first and keep a diary of what you would really want to have with you in the van in those moments of seclusion and quiet. love the content, keep it up.

[@TySoVm]

I've been furloughed again due to the recent shut downs, thank you for your content, helps me get through the day.

[@MsJennyu]

I'm calling it now. Your channel is going to blow up. 1 million subscribers here you come. I've been watching a lot of foraging, fishing, etc. KZbinrs but none of them incorporate travel and van life into their foraging and cooking. You guys being on wheels will allow you to get to more places and carve out a new niche. I wasn't a subscriber before but I am now! Good luck and I can't wait to see where this goes.

[@portlandreviewer2143]

You need a sticker on that van that says "If it's rocking, I'm cooking."

"Make sure you fill your holes"

[@TineyGrouse]

My favorite catch and cook just got even better with the van life aspect. Dang son!!! So happy for y'all

[@glemmstengal]

Well deserved. You not only introduced me to the very interesting world of foraging but you do your community a great service by doing so many collabs. I have been introduced to so many other people because of you. I am hoping you see 1 million subs in 2021.

[@kabukiwookie]

I spent ten years on the road in my van. From the southern tip of Baja California to the middle of nowhere Canada. My van is a Ford class B-RV. It's got all the bells and whistles. We are both Japanese. Your Taku, and I am Tak. We both live in the same geographic area. My advice to you: Take that Sprinter van, and over anything else, install a bathroom. It doesn't haveto be a big one. Just one small RV toilet, and one smallish grey water tank with some privacy. The lady in your life will endlessly thank you for this... Its based on pure experience.

[@julianplamann5076]

I second this! I almost didn't put a bathroom in when I was building out my Promaster conversion a few years ago, but after living in it with a toilet and shower, I literally cannot imagine not having at least the toilet. Especially while traveling during Covid. Secluded Hwy 1 pull-offs, remote roads in National Forests -- all places I'd never be able to convince my girlfriend to camp in if it weren't for the toilet!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Thanks man! We will be installing a toilet in there. Already ordered it so we can build around it!

[@allin9213]

​@@OutdoorChefLife Hey Taku! This is the best open van layout I've seen for a van your size, and I've seen many of them. Just passing it along in case it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKeaqKygbtJ1naM

[@memmener]

Please please please lock up that van and secure all valuables even inside the van. I don't want to see an episode where you have to tell us your van got broken into. Good luck in 2021!

[@ruttleytashnmarty8598]

Yay... congrats Taku n Jocelyn. So happy for you both. I haven't been able to watch you for a few weeks. My dad became gravely ill and we buried him just before the new year. Watching this video was very comforting and exciting. Enjoy your content. Look forward to the next chapter of your lives folks. HNY!

[@donovanb9020]

My first video of yours was the Crappie Sushi video. Ever since, I was hooked. You're an inspiration for me. As a fellow fisherman, you've really showed me how to take my harvested fish to the next level. As a hunter, watching you has also made me think of different ways to prepare my harvested game animals. Your channel has brought me a lot of joy, imparted priceless knowledge, and have (overall) improved my life since I first subscribed. Super happy about the reveal and wishing y'all the best going into 2021. Thank you so much for all that you do Taku.

[@lontas]

Just wanted to say thank you Taku and Jocelyn, your videos are so heartfelt and insightful. I'll continue to support you guys as long as I can and congrats on your new milestone, you two definitely deserved it!

[@deafeningsilence5121]

I was almost brought to tears when you were talking about your new addition and your thankfulness for youtube and your viewers, you guys are so inspirational and I have loved every piece of content you have put out together. Thank YOU so much for making some of the best things I've seen on youtube!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

thank you!

[@MROD1]

Taku, if you haven't already, don't forget to depreciate your van with your taxes by using it as part of your business doing youtube.

[@drewcorrales]

Congrats on the van! You and Jocelyn are appreciated! Thanks for all the cooking, foraging, and fishing knowledge you've provided since you started posting. All the best in 2021 🎉

[@absentstars474]

Small word of advice, get a good alarm and make sure your insurance covers everything you put in the van. GPS tracker as well. Cant wait to see you get down to Florida and collaborate with those youtubers.

[@maltrek1]

[@boynxtdior]

Happy New Years, here’s to many years of success 🥂 would love to meet you one day!

[@bobhidley9037]

Great idea, Taku! I just spent awhile watching another popular KZbin couple, "Kara and Nate", park their sailboat and buy a Sprinter van. They've shown many videos on all the interior building of a bed, cabinets, cooking stuff, etc. Because of the worldwide Covid travel restrictions that makes visiting foreign seaports difficult, they, like you, will carry on with their exploits - but in a van.

[@Nquisite]

Thank you for being a genuine person and showing us all life. you have inspired me in so many ways. from wanting to forage and hunt to pushing myself at cooking!

[@MyBigAzzPimple]

Congrats Taku and Jocelyn! It's been so awesome to see your videos during the last year, it's been a welcome reprieve for me. You deserve all the success, you worked your ass off for it and give us amazing content. When its 30 degrees and pouring rain here in VA, the kids and love settling in and watching your videos since we can't go down to our lake and fish.

Taku, you are an inspiration! Talk about good timing, leaving the restaurant and going to YT fulltime. The same thing happened with me ... I was starting to seriously consider leaving my present employment and playing trumpet fulltime, on the street for tips which is called "busking" well, it got cold, I got sick with some weird coughing thing, then the virus came. So I'm glad I stayed with my job because we're actually doing better than we were before the virus.
