Van Life | Alex Honnold

[@Amaneeeta]

he speaks with so much sarcasm it's so awesome haha!

[@TSunshineful]

+Ella Macaraig Was that sarcasm? LoL no wonder I loved it so much!

[@pisnell]

@@TSunshineful irony fits better, maybe

[@wontondestructxn]

Alex is living the dream.

[@brucetree8284]

He maybe living in a van, but compared to my boring ass 9 to 5 daily life...I ENVY HIM

[@barleymob9913]

It's no wonder you climb so well, getting all that pump on in your home gym. Sweet van

[@jareda3957]

"diamond studded on the bottom, I keep my diamonds hidden." haha I think Alex and I would get along.

[@amandajackson2346]

He makes me appreciate the real things in life. This kind of man makes me not want/need a big home anymore lol I want to be more practical

[@FerreneMachine]

this man is truly an inspiration. his climbing is beautiful

[@Cbop77]

The song captures the vibe of this whole video perfectly.

[@electronicsNmore]

Nice to see there are a few people remaining that know what it is to be self-sufficient, and live simply, instead of spoiled and/or full of debt to live the high life.

[@Johnve33]

This is so awesome. He seems to be such a nice person.

[@teejay3272]

I was driving home yesterday from a three day (snowy) Sequoia backpack trip and my girlfriend started talking about how cool it would be to get a van and just take off. I told her about this stud rock climber who does just that and gave her the Honnold story. Good timing to see this clip today. Might be a sign.

[@MidsierramusingBlogspot]

Alex, You reveal lots about yourself here. Thanks for taking us along.

[@goalzero]

Have you ever wondered what it's like to live in a van? Where do you store things? How do you stay powered? What do you do when you need to use a bathroom? Professional rock climber, Alex Honnold, takes us through the van that he calls home.

[@silverjay57]

Since you have to lay diagonally in the bed to sleep anyway. Is there a way to install anchors in the roof and you can string up a hammock? I have seen that on some other van life projects. (Just a thought for you)

[@augustt8282]

Thank you for the video .love the setup that you've done to your van :) I have a question if you don't mind Which is better a Van or an SUV, in regards of (security wise, camping , traveling, space "for bed , storage, cooking...etc", mileage, gas usage , rough roads) ?

[@lessworkmorehotsprings6387]

I like your sense of humor.

[@DAngeloDino]

I just about fell out of my chair when he said "this is my diamond studded, imported linoleum floor" O my haha.

[@mycocoaone]

The clean simplicity is awesome.

[@imawesomepersonDERP]

I'm a teen girl climber who is totally obsessed with Alex (I'm not kidding I was in Yosemite yesterday and I was running around Camp 4, looking for him) and I can't wait till I grow up, get into and out of college, buy a van, and set off across America! Kudos to Alex for inspiring me ;)

[@ryanjohnston8237]

Well your probably 18 by now. I'm sure Alex wouldn't mind keeping you in his panel van.

[@johnashley2160]

He lives with the freedom that us everyday working schmoes envy. Sweet ride.

[@Mich4765]

Nice editing. Short & sweet!

[@ReasonExtremist]

Alex is fucking awesome.

[@PaulCarterArt]

It’s great to see this time capsule of the journey from the past into the present. Good one guys🎬 I have an awesome goal zero small grid for my phone etc👍🏾⚡️

[@johnkomosa4089]

Great tour, great use of space, every nook and cranny. But, best of all was the dry sence of humor, that was really funny, thanks for sharing, makes me miss my MarkIII Hightop Conversion Chevy Van. Mobile Home. Blast from the Past..

[@jameshenry2457]

This is a nice rig! I've been living in a "79 VW bus for like, 10 years now. Unfortunately not very good for getting to high altitude locations. So I got a "02 Ford Escape for getting to more mountainous areas.

[@stonedflame]

Simple, well done, and enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing.

[@sameerk12982]

Nice van....My dream house....Thanks Alex for sharing your van life.

[@ExploringAlternatives]

Love this video! Definitely inspired us to live the van life!

[@Kudagraz]

Exploring Alternatives ahh interesting. this was one of the first videos I had seen of van life, too.

It was an inspiration to us too :D

[@Vossfcn99]

Alex Honnold seems to be like the coolest dude ever.

[@dakiblabla]

You say that and there's Cedar right there in the video...

[@BinarySoloGames]

Inspirational! I wish we had a bed in the van!

[@idn]

Great stuff! I love my Goal Zero products and what Alex does!

[@Bernadettemckeevercoaching]

I love him so much it hurts.

[@scottthompson2481]

Cool van man , wish I could do something like this with my Vauxhall but its always full of RC air planes and Hexacopters and Quads , but very cool mate

[@gega27tt]

his new one looks so much better!

[@brobvision]

A Carbon Monoxide detector needs to be mounted much higher up. It rises so by the time that thing goes off the van will be almost full of it. IE you won't wake up. You need it on the ceiling.

[@yobringitondown5565]

Actually it is relatively the same density. Convection mixes the gases within the enclosed space and combustion byproducts like CO generally rise due to HEATING, like his stove, not by being a less dense compound. Two sensors are better than one! :) One high, one low. Also one could fail and he would not know, he just would not wake up.

[@teenabear6932]

We are all so hooked to our possessions that we just don't really need.

[@joeg5414]

I'd like this. Not a climber, but I want to travel the US fly fishing in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. This would be perfect.

[@EMCAL13]

That floor description is gold, ha!

[@GaryMcCaffrey]

Great setup.

[@obbma4ler22]

Not only have I always thought he sort of looks like Nathan Fielder, but at 1:34 when he talks about his floor, it just sounds like something Nathan Fielder would say lmao

[@TSunshineful]

Great entertainment. This is my foyer, this is my bathroom, this is my garage.... lol

[@dogsbyfire]

Extremely cool. I wonder who has this van now that Alex has another.

[@kuyahshah2661]

i love him so much... one of climber that i look up to beside sharma..

[@Walter-Almaraz]

Love this man! Inspirational

[@oneashralph4076]

Very cool & very clean place for a guy.

[@anikaloper9504]

alex is my idol. coolest person ever.

[@findingsimon]

We need way more diamond plated flooring in our van...

[@Mach5yo]

what an awesome life.

[@dianedureau4431]

Cute video! A lot easier for a guy to do (I like the idea of it, but I'd be terrified) Nice!

[@alanlee7185]

With a big smile, I will be one of you soon enough. I like your lay out with the bed in the back. I cant see working 8-12 hours a day and going to the gym for couple of hours and returning to a apartment at 600-700 (Cheap one) dollars a month to sleep. Things that rattle my head are urban stealth yet camp ground fun. Don't want the police knocking on the door asking for doughnuts before the sun comes up if you know what I mean. Anyway great job on the van......

[@THESUNNYSIDEPHIL]

Great Van. Love it! Cheers Phil

[@edwardlaw797]

Legend! Climb on Arnold.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Fantastic channel. Well done! We really liked it.

[@yobringitondown5565]

Very nice Alex. I was looking into 4X4 vans but they are wayyyy expensive. If you have the bucks check out Sportsmobile in central California. Have fun my friend and stay safe. Love the videos. Keep em coming!!

[@Jacobe]

Awesome stuff man.

[@bityotta9946]

That was excellent.

[@apuuvah]

I think this van sees some action ;-)

[@oliverupload]

Alex, should build a pull up bar on the side of his van.

[@sovokaiharvey305]

a pull out climbing wall would have been pretty sweet to

[@Budnbuf]

Right on guy. I am doing something similar but for a Shipping Container. Have the Goal Zero Yeti. Thanks for the video. You rock.

[@goalzero]

A shipping container would be perfect! Can't wait to check it out.

[@tatantasori9976]

Nice one dude..

[@p1nesap]

nice battery/solar rig.

[@totalpublicexposuret.v.cha2874]

Okay I get it when you say this is where all the magic happens you mean the magic hand trick. That's why your gym is one Pacific type of equipment making your hand stronger to keep that grip

[@ourvandiaries773]

Fun video, really loved it!

[@phoebewinterbottom938]

This is so amazing

[@Vindicatress]

Simple. Gets the job done! :)

[@tx4x486]

awesome and funny!

[@Ran415]

Very cool goal zero battery. What refrigerator or freezer was Alex using? Thanks!

[@BobJones-hf7bt]

Nice job

[@georgegilles9008]

Talk about efficiency.

[@penguinbadgerturkeybear4343]

"I keep the diamonds hidden.." That really made me laugh!

[@annmarieinthehouse]

How did you make the divider curtain? It looks great!

[@jakekempen4400]

This video has inspired me! I'm curious, how many people can you comfortable (and legally) fit into this van? Do you know about what the MPG is with all that stuff? Was the $10,000 price tag before or after you tricked it out to live in it?

[@bigben380]

Where can I find the forearm grip workout thing he has. Can't seem to find them anywhere. Anyone know what it is called, and, or, where to get one?

[@davidbergmanpdx]

www.amazon.com/Ivanko-Super-Gripper/dp/B0037AWU6M

[@GatorLife57]

Thumbs up ! ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@flyingcownipples1295]

I want to get a van and do this. I would just have to figure out where to put my hang board.

[@44jacobus44]

Now that I see what wonders you're able to do with such a tight space, I ask myself what you could do with a larger area in a big bus! Read Ken Kesey's, Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, if you get a chance. Now that was a bus trip (no pun intended) and a half and boy were they ever creative.

[@AllenSmithsTravels]

very awesome

[@losFondos]

This is genuinly hilarious!

[@TheCandianGuy28]

the only thing i always wonder is how do you live in a van in the winter like im living in canada how do you heat that witout starting the van for heat ??

[@Fecomatt13]

im a kid and i want any kit in the Goal Zero Range The Thing That i Want most is the Yeti 150 Kit

[@JD-yn3bf]

I've watched Goal Zero's van life video series with Alex, Brittany, Jonathan, Travis...Pretty cool. But living in High Sierra bear country, I'm still trying to figure out how to customize a rig, and not have it smell like food/kitchen. It seems these would be the first rigs that bears target in Yosemite or Mammoth. Perhaps a stripper version of the kitchen is preferred. Any thoughts?

[@thecrazymanfromireland]

Cool I love it it's has everything you need that's all you want

[@getnamo]

what a legend

[@Felixombc]

I guarantee that bed has been occupied by at least three people. Ladies love Honnold.

[@blakebjornski]

Dan - sick van! My girlfriend and I are getting ready to take our new pop-up camper on a 3-month long trip with mountain bikes through BC, WA, OR and CA. Is Alex using Goal Zero solar panels or does he have a different setup charging his generator?

[@goalzero]

they are GZ panels. We have Boulder 90's that are not on our website yet but you can call in to get more info on them. We will be putting them on our site soon.

[@ChowmutLe]

I mean really though, what else do you need? Throw in a gym membership and you can shower there every so often :D

[@superhealthyguy444]

Where did you find the chest refrigerator I've been looking everywhere for one like yours?

[@charlottegalli7177]

Nice ! I am thinking to buy a van and do the same thing... now question, how tall are you if you can't quite fit in the bed?

[@pirateprepper3155]

Cool set up. Is the interior set-up included in the $10,000 price tagged on the van at the beginning of the video, or is that just the cost of the van itself?

[@goalzero]

Yo pirate, that was just for the Van itself the build out cost a few more thousand.

[@triple_gem_shining]

love alex

[@CaseyChronicle]

This video was awesome! keeep em comin!!:)

[@Ebub1]

i love it

[@SoyBoy182]

Awesome! :)

[@giuliatacchini]

love!

[@kylemurphy8630]

How do you cook safely in the van? as far as ventilation goes?

[@Bayplaces]

co2 detector and a vent helps.

[@kearress7350]

Eric Hightower As well as a sliding door!

[@Bayplaces]

definitely. my van has a slider and it helps to crack it, I feel that I can get more air than if I had cracked open french doors. an improvised screen can be drawn across either if fully open and still desiring privacy, but typically just a window is enough if a vent isn't installed. vent helps in the rain.

[@apflN]

Meh, not something you have to take into account. You are more likely to die from free-soloing anyways :)

[@rjd2633]

Kyle Murphy He's using propane, as long as it functions properly it's safe....hence, the carbon monoxide detector.

[@xanderjohanvandenhooven9649]

Respect

[@mentalage5]

Do you own the Goal Zero business too

[@lessstuffmorefreedom-livin6886]

Hello Alex have a question for you comma very interested in knowing where did you purchase or where can I get, that gigantic drawer in the back of your van that pulls out? That is exactly what I need for my van I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 van and that's what I've been looking for but can't seem to find them anywhere

[@khaleddamerinolocos4214]

wow! great

[@stevenruiz6507]

nice

[@SubieLove4]

Goal Zero What panels is he using on top? The Boulder 90 or quad 30's? I'm looking to do a similar set up.

[@goalzero]

***** He's now using the 90's

[@fonduemonkey]

If you don't quit climbin' them hills, you're gonna end up living in a van, down by the river! LOL!
