what's next for us? returning after the summer break
It's great to take a summer break. It helps you rejuvenate and gain a new perspective, which in turn boosts productivity and creativity.
Taking time off to relax or explore can provide clarity and help prioritise what's important also

We list both crafter and sprinter in the title as they are one and the same vehicle shell and many of the parts we use fit both types of the van

Build the homecomer another van... He can then "leave you in peace again" 😉🤣

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Now there's an idea😁👌

[@christinamacintyre9972]

The thing is with van event videos - everyone does them. Its nice to see people be human and have fun though

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

I totally agree😀👍

[@Witteringtrucker]

Loved this video, Sam. Great to see something different to the same old stuff that most put out. Good on ya pal.

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi Sam

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Hi Harry 👋😀

[@vinceandwinnie436]

Great with losing 3 stone! I think you should make videos of whatever makes you feel happy, as it comes. I came to you for the van build videos, but when the day comes when mine is finished, I'll be travelling. To make your videos easy to search and create monetisation as time goes on, I'd make the video headings clear like your build ones. So when a festival comes up, make it just about the festival, if you travel, make it just about that. Everyone in our Facebook group has been directed to you for Sprinter/Crafter build videos. The festival videos could be shorter in length, general overview and jibe, then shut down and enjoy your weekend in peace.

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

I'm gonna take your advice thank you 😊👍

[@RyanSmith-ec1bc]

Great to see you back at it Sam keep the vids coming as I’m needing them to help me build mine

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Glad your getting something from them 😁👍

[@BeardedDwarf]

Glad to see you back posting videos. Your FB has kept me entertained. Well done on the weight lose, just get to where you feel good. Unless you have a bowl and swap keys I'd stay away from the pineapples 😂 Looking forward to the future of your channel. Love and respect. Nick

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

The pineapple 🍍🥰🚂 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@campervancodgers124]

Great video as usual. We've just had to have more work on Syna , new EGR and front break and disc replaced, and calliper was stuck. Unlike you we have to pay a man who can. Anymore off her I'm pushing her off a cliff 😂 good job on the weight loss too 🥰

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

I've been there mate trust me😬 I'm doing a huge overhaul on my breaks soon See you soon

[@Crowtherstephen79]

I always love all your content, I’ve been subscribed since you had just a few followers, it’s been great to see your channel grow and to see you shrink! (You can see it in your face now pal) - I personally like the van videos, the festival ones will get very similar too quickly and some of the others do them to death ☠️

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

cheers pal

[@Rob.1340]

👍🚐😎

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

😁🍻👋

[@lifeadventureprojects]

We watch your videos Sam, always enjoy them so keep them coming mate! We mentioned you in our recent video actually, used some of your videos to help on our build! ❤❤

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Thank you, that's great news post the link so I can watch it

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Just realised I had clicked a thumbs down Sorry my mistake has now been corrected 😁👍

[@viv-i-vangoesforth]

How do Sam. Proper loved this video. I can understand what you meant about taking time out for you. I saw how hard you worked at our Crafty campers campout, which I really appreciated, so you deserve the quality time. BTW..... love the new member of the family!! Hopefully see you and Lisa out there soon. Much respect as always- Kenny

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Cheers Kenny mate 😁👍

[@Albert_206]

Hi Sam, Funny how one, like me wondered if you were all right. And as I saw you and your loved ones are 😅 Also wonder if you look at your son and when you said “he was naughty at school” you see yourself.. :-)) you asked to leave a comment about liking festivals or work on the van, personally I just love mechanics, not only vans builds, motorbikes sailboats basically everything that needs work. Best regards, Albert

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Thanks, Albert. we are all good, my son is a mirror image of me in every way, and that is why we need to have a word 🤣🤣🤣

[@mikeatherton6814]

What's the name of the 3rd KZbin van with the tilting solar panel? Can't find it

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

3rd ? 😁 It's Shayes on tour mate look him up he's still not done a video on it yet 😁👍 #shase_on_tour

[@mikeatherton6814]

@@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife 👍 thanks will do

[@gonefilming2020]

You've been blessed with a wonderful family and you have been working hard to be where you're at now. Over 5K subscribers, more joining every day and I for one enjoy every video you create, whether it's a hands-on, you capturing a trip or invite us to be part of your life. Your content matters. I know it has helped and inspired me in making my decisions on how to proceed with my van build. And it has for so many others. As I tend to spend too much time taking in information and how-tos or just reading other people's posts, I have now exited from almost all other groups on FB. Your group and channel and all the nice people, that have joined thus far, are the right mix. ☺ You've built a really cool website and you're starting to feel a little "battleworn" from all the festivals, the video creation and the todo list seems to get longer and longer. Take a break, be with family and friends, social media can wait. You've dropped some weight - incredible! Looks good on you. 😯👍 Stay safe and healthy, my friend. Can't wait to see all of you again live and in person next season! 🚐☁🍀 P.S.: I could not make out what wonderful event you filmed - where was this at and is this an annual thing?

[@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife]

Hi 👋 thank you mate you always know what to say 😉 we were at the campervan overlander celebration in Newbury it was really chilled out
