An old abandoned van saved me from the rain. Solo overnight. ASMR Day 3

[@airmaildolphin7013]

I hope and pray that this one doesn't get destroyed and that people appreciate the hard work you put into transforming these locations!

[@cyndybutler7330]

I just don’t understand people that do things like that , destroy things can’t call them what I really think youtube would timeout me 😂

[@datony337]

I was about to write the same, and I knew there will be someone writing same comment, I hope that too some bs ppl destroys the work!

He does it for the money from the video, no one cares if the dump gets trashed afterward

[@deekelley891]

@@GloriaShamsiwe all work for money, nothing wrong with that. And if he makes an emergency shelter other hikers can use, that’s a good thing. It is wrong of people to destroy it for no other reason than to ruin it for everyone.

I love it! My favorite shelter! I absolutely love vehicles converted into improvised homes!

[@mplate1792]

Cool! maybe put up a sign telling people they're free to use it. And to leave it nice for the next person. Certain types of people, thinking they found an abandoned shelter, may think twice about vandalizing it if they know it's being used. I'm not naive, but it is worth a try.

Love seeing you back at the abandoned van. To see it being fixed up more and safer. Plus warmer too. That anyone passing by that needs shelter will know they have this awesome van that you have so amazingly fixed up. Have a great happy new year and be safe.

Смотрю, а в памяти всплывает быт офицерской жены. Так приезжаешь на дальнюю точку к мужу. Дают страшненькую халабуду.. Стулья из Ленинской комнаты, кровать из подручных досок.. Всё подмел, кровать застелил чистеньким покрывальцем, на вымытые окна занавески из тканюшки, а если побелил, то вообще - евроремонт. На плиту чайник и супец горячий горячий... А там и я родилась.. 😊 и тоже про тоже. Это дар.. Из хаоса создать гармонию. Дима, не устану говорить спасибо за твои фильмы- смыслы❤

Hopefully others do not destroy this. I've noticed there are two types of people in this world. Those who improve our world and those who just feel the need to destroy what others make. How do they not realize it also makes things better for them ? It just sad they feel that b eed. Thank you for being one if the good guys. Also thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Вообще, это очень ссыкотно в диких местах быть одному. Вчера с сыном в лес сгоняли ночью на машине. Реально было страшновато, хотя жига "жужжала" заведенная рядом, фары горели. Может потому что у нас в Беларуси леса маленькие и нарваться на неприятности проще, чем в России или в горах Казахстана

This was Day 3. I watched days 1 and 2. In day 1 he did stay overnight in the rain. In 2 he put windows in and two of them cracked. He is leaving at the end of the day to get materials.

Did you bring the wood before because it looked like it had not been there very long ??
