Yes!! I want to see the real deal & behind the scenes, the full use of all functions, maybe some more thoughts if it is too cold or too hot, I'm dreading winter times. I think a portabla toilet would be good to have though it doesn't take much space, I'd hate to have a brown accident because I didn't get in time to find a toilet. Also there are portable shower with pumps, one could just pop up a diy shower curtain hang the shower handle & stand outside close to a place where it's ok soap water comes into the sewage , or drying holes. One could also stand in a bukett outdoors & let the used dirty water (gray water) be collected. There are shower cabin one can build or buy as well I would opt for a toilet & shower. Unless one is very disciplined or out of necessity just buys a gym card to use their shower I think it will feel like one is always travelling And i know after a while one wants "normalcy" , but it all depends. I think the bedplace is the most important, because all one wants is to come home & lay in bed to rest or take a hot shower It all depends on what kind of person one is Seeing as it is so e pensive to just exist. I feel out of necessity & also freedom i would like the tiny home or camper/van life Most of my time & life is spent at work, the rest is just to lay in bed/sofa to recover after a work week & doing nothing with my life but watching movies to soothe myself from the slave life one lives, so I might as well just go for the vanlife I'm thinking & save on a lot of bucks & live minimalistically . Can use the money for investments that will make for an even more self provoding future, self employment, do one doesn't have to be dependent on the system, + the freedom to work whenever & wherever you want And to me i think the best thing would be no more noise from my neighbours

I lived in an RV on and off for years. 1) You'd better be handy. I enjoyed the challenge but sometimes I just wanted to take a long hot shower without something breaking. Plumbing and gasfitting being the typical issues. PS. I retrofitted a tankless water heater in so hot showers lasted more than 2 min. 2) The fresh air is nice but the cold, rainy days are hell. Winter was running 4x 1500W heaters 24/7 just to keep the water lines from freezing, let alone warm. Propane furnace rarely helped. I learned to wear socks and sweaters to bed. My dogs also helped keep me warm in -40C. 3) It's a bit lonely. A couple of friends came to visit but for the most part no one wanted to hang out. It's cramped and there's a bit of a stigma - like being homeless almost. It's fine if you're travelling in one but long term living people start treating you a bit differently. 4) Cost. There are ways you can cut down on your bills, like I eventually moved up to bulk propane rather than filling at gas stations. Power used to be cheap where I live but no longer is. Water is fine but you don't want to drink the stuff from the tap/tank and as mentioned is a struggle in winter. If you're moving, RVs don't travel light. You're going to pay high fuel expenses. 5) A bit of boredom. It was great going into the mountains - no lot fees, but no power and water. Move around and visit some places but after a while you miss having that stationary home. No furniture is comfortable - I upgraded to a home mattress and ikea couch but they were still not great. Anything better is too heavy or too big. This seems pretty negative - girlfriend and I are going to be doing some longer term RVing once our current contracts are up; go for a couple of months through Canada and the US. She hasn't done it before so we'll see what her opinions are.

But instead of throwing them in the boiling water like that, u can put them in a dry bowl, then put the bowl in boiling water to avoid water directly reaching the buns, using a lid to cover the pot so u can steam them and then eat. If u use the correct method, it will taste wayyy better since its name is “steamed buns frozen version”.

For this being 50% of your days though I feel like you could easily improve things with a change of scenery and activities other than gym, gaming, scrolling. Even if it's just a nicer view to park at or a quiet spot slightly out of town where you can chill outside the van. I don't mean this in a judging way, I love being alone for days on end too and your routine looks a lot like my "meh" days too, but that solitude becomes depressing fast if it's spent staring at screens all day. Plus it never really feels like solitude because you're too socially connected online / not alone with your thoughts.

We as humans are not by designed to be "robots" .Monotony and the grind feels familiar, safe, secure, and comfortable. I believe it to be just skimming across the surface of life. How does one grow in a sterile environment? try doing something completely insane. like gamble ALLLL of your money and sell all your "things" Maybe end up in Vegas or some native American camp in the sierra mountains.. then when it all comes crashing down... sit in that seedy hotel room alone.... Embrace that feeling. that feeling is so intense and overpowering, yet sit still and embrace it. Effing hell of a ride! Now what???

did the RV life for 3 years and there’s 100% the positives and 110% negatives. As an extrovert finding a campground with a community that are full timers is amazing because they typically do community weekly events. Otherwise you’re alone, which I can only take for so long. The lugging your poop and pee if for some reason the RV can’t make it to the sewage hookup. The need to shower in public spaces all the time. No wifi in some places. I do miss the adventure and being able to get up and go. I miss the people I would meet and community that can be built through it. Living with other people can either be a downfall or upside. Having a pet is amazing when doing this type of life style. Same with outdoor adventures, just parking somewhere and being able to stay. There’s a lot of pros and cons, just ask yourself if you can really stand it all

I would make a few adjustments like make space for my PC and Switch. I'd bring my cables to hook up my phone to the monitor to watch Netflix while I eat. But I would eventually want the open space of a home again, and I couldn't do this and not work. Even without many living expenses, food, gas, propane tanks and a few other essentials along with phone and streaming service bills would eventually catch up with me. Not to mention, a van like this isn't cheap either.

Yep exactly my thought. You trade in showers and a toilet for a life on wheels to think to yourself "what's my next destination".

And then social media for longer term growth, it makes complete sense honestly and it seems like a great way to reset one's life and think/explore what direction to take....and sometimes a random turn can lead something great

The DOPAMINE this video gives me!! The way that I can tell that I would absolutely LOVE this life.. Just Me, Myself, and I. And this is the "Worst things" video??? You are blessed my man. You are Divine. It warms my soul to see you happy and healing. I'm hoping to be out on the road soon myself. I'd love to be a part of the vanlife community asap!

you call vanlife community... but how it would be a community if you dont be phisically with them? if you could be friends with another van liver... that would be divine, but not lonelines as this... that made me change my mind even.

I got a Sprinter van few months ago and converted it. I’ve been on the road a for a few weeks at a time now and I can say it is awesome. I have my dog with me and it isn’t lonely at all and I often play MMOs with my friends/family while video chatting from the middle of nowhere. Surprisingly I get good internet though my iPhone tether most places enough to play an MMO!

Man makes me love my wife, kids and suburbian life and daily grind so much more. I’ll keep this in my playlist for when my depression kicks in. Thanks!

lol. A lot of overhead when you don't have water/toilet/electricity/gas hookup on a permanent basis. Everything is a hassle including meal prep where you can only store a small amount of food at a time.

I don't get how seeing someone have complete freedom to do anything with their time is even remotely depressing. I feel an overwhelming sense of depression for those who spend 40 hours a week just to stay afloat, get zero time with their children and spouse, and typically die with a lot of regrets. I'll happily take having unlimited freedoms and being able to travel the world to enjoy the finer things in life over that 😂

Most van lifers: try to sale you crap, beg for your "SMASH that button to support me" blah, blah...-- your vid is genuine - shows the true van life.
