Your meals always look so good! Thanks for sharing what your van life is like.

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Thank you! And thanks for watching

We have a very similar setup to you. Two of us living in a minivan with a cargo topper. That stow away seat compartment helps but the topper is a must. Gotta be able to fit all that adventure gear. Love your film style btw!

[@klynch7329]

Love your channel too!

[@RyanKodakBrown]

Hey! Thank you. I avoided buying a topper for a long time, but really happy I did. Adventure gear is mandatory! How is it with two in a minivan? Any tips?

@@RyanKodakBrown One of those 4 ft folding tables you can get at Home Depot will fit behind the back hatch. We have one bungeed to our bed frame and it is so nice to have and a perfect desk for two. Other than that I'd say go as minimal as possible. We carry photography gear, rockhounding and backpacking stuff with us so I know how hard that can be with hobbies. We''ll have a vid coming in a few weeks showing how we carry everything in our very simple build. I'm sure you'll end up with something even more efficient though, but might be worth a look! Safe travels to you guys.

I am so jealous of your life, I am about to purchase a minivan this summer and start to build up on it. Then may be I am gonna try short term road trip step by step. I live in British Columbia the place is too cold to camp in the winter. Thank u for your vlogs I really like it

[@RyanKodakBrown]

That's so awesome! Step-by-step for sure. Good luck and safe travels!

[@geoffreyniles7537]

Hey man, I was just really curious about the ways you finance yourself? Thanks for these rad videos, made my morning interesting!

[@RyanKodakBrown]

It’s changed A LOT over the years but mostly it’s been work and save for a few months then adventure till the money ran out and repeat. I earn a little through YT and my media company now and supplement with some DoorDash or occasional job like the canvassing work I’m doing this week.

Nice videos , what size are those tires you upsized to! Those skyboxes are awesome. Install easy and access from both sides. I use to keep my bike and light weight camping gear in the box.

225/70 r16's! SO happy I went with these though my gas milage did suffer a point or two 🤷‍♂️ They really are awesome and it's wild that a bike even fits in there. Happy trails! ✌️

[@Happy-bd8yq]

Hey Ryan. Have you shared in a prior video… how do you find a place to boondock?!

[@RyanKodakBrown]

I have not but I will in an upcoming video
