Moving into my NEW VAN (Roadtrip + First Night Camping)

I'm all moved into my new van and the new era has begun! In today's patreon exclusive video, I take you guys along on the adventure for my first official night of living out of my new gaming campervan and let me tell y'all... IT'S COZY!!

However, this particular day was a bit weird. I found out some bad news about the old van which put a damper on my adventures but it's nothing I can't handle! Life is good and i'm so stoked for this new adventure and hopefully you guys are too!

The Van Broke Down

It happened... The van broke down. After traveling around the country for 100,000 miles, my van is struggling to keep up with the adventures and in today's Patreon exclusive video, I give you guys a look into what happened.

But first, I just want to say that I'm sorry for the lack of content here on Patreon these past 2 months. As I said in this video, I've been super hard at work trying my best to get caught up with content on my Youtube channel. But thankfully, I think I'm at a pla...

Stranger Things House EXTENDED VLOG + BEHIND THE SCENES

This is the extended cut & behind the scenes look from my main channel video where we go stay in the REAL Stranger Things house for a couple of nights. Throughout that video, we document our experience but I captured it in such an elevated way that I felt the need to give you guys a behind the scenes look into how we did what we did!

You'll know exactly what I'm talking about if you've watch the main channel video. If you haven't make sure you watch that video first before you wa...

Behind the scenes of this Youtube Thumbnail (Van Build EP 4)

HERE'S A FREE BONUS EPISODE of a behind the scenes look of putting together my latest van build episode's Youtube thumbnail.

A lot of people don't realize how much work can go into these thumbnails sometimes. Sometimes I spend hours and hours making sure they are perfect. However, this one came out pretty easily and I'm so stoked with the end result! So much that I think it's one of my favorite thumbnails I've ever done! Let me know what you think?

If you enjoyed this bonus vid...

Lastly I end the day with giving you guys a behind the scenes look of taking a thumbnail for a main channel video (Van Build EP 4).

Nothing too crazy is going on in my life right now BUT I'm trying to keep it as exciting as possible. Hopefully...

Major Van Build Updates (Gaming Desk, Gaming PC, & Roof Rack)

Here's a sneak peak of the gaming desk that we just put into the new van along with this INSANE gaming PC I built into it!

This part of the project may have been the most time consuming out of everything so far. The engineering of this whole setup has been such a headache but some how, some way, we figured it out and it looks incredible!! Let me know what you guys think!

Cozy Hiking, Camping, & Vanlife Gaming LAN Party

This was the coziest day I've had in a longgggggg time... Hiking, camping, & gaming with a friend in the mountains was the medication I needed! The new van build, as you guys already know, is taking wayyyyy longer than expected. So Christian and I decided to escape into the mountains where the air is cleaner, the weather is crispier, and the sunsets are CRAZY BEAUTIFUL.

Follow along with us on this adventure as we start off with a beautiful hike then cozy up in the van for a littl...

Vanlife Gaming 48v Solar Electrical System Diagram

This is a complete diagram that I put together of my exact electrical system that's built into the back of my new campervan. If you haven't watched the episode on my Youtube where I assemble all of this and talk a bit about my system and why chose to go with a 48v system this time around, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/5EvByEM7WKs

But as promised in that video, I wanted to make this document publicly availab...

VERY Cozy Rainy Vanlife Day & Major Van Build Updates

Good morning everyone! I finally have another patreon exclusive video for you and this one is COOOOZZZZYYYYYY.

I start the day off by taking it REAL slow because its a wet and rainy day. But I can't complain too much because, I live in one of the coziest places on earth! So at the beginning of this video, I really wanted to capture that cozy slow morning feeling with the really long drawn out shots and slower edit (shoutout to Christian for editing this!) and I think it's a good glimp...

Van 3D Interior Reveal & Working On The Van

I finally reveal the 3d van interior design in today's Patreon exclusive video. (It's at the end of the video) Let me know what you think of the design in the comments down below!

But ultimately, I wanted to give you guys a glimpse of what my life looks like right now since I'm not actively traveling. Other than building out the van throughout the day, my life has been pretty uneventful which is why there's been a lack of content posted on my Youtube and here on Patreon. The van build...

1st Beach Camping Trip In My New Van

I took the new van out with some friends to go camping at the beach and it was a blast!

I think my favorite part of this trip is the fact that we didn't plan this trip at all. The night before this trip we were like, "lets takes a trip to the beach" and we just did it. And that sort of on-the-whim-planning is only possible with Vanlife and it truly is a luxury that I'm so thankful to have.

We all needed this trip so much and hopefully you guys have just as much fun watching th...

Good morning everyone! I've got a new Patreon Exclusive video for you today! This is episode 3 of my Japan adventures! However, at the beginning of the video I give you guys a small update on my van build! Let me know what you think of it in the comments!

But in today's Japan adventures, me and a few members of the group decided to take a bullet train to Osaka Japan to explore the vibrant nightlife, tasty street markets, and play around a bit in the surrounding nature! It was such a f...

(EARLY ACCESS) Overnight In Cozy Japan Capsule Hotel (JAPAN GROUP TRIP EP1)

Hey everyone!

You haven't heard from me in a bit here on Patreon! Sorry about that! I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew with everything that's been going on these past couple of months. Between planning and attending my Japan group trip, building out my new van while also trying to edit videos for my main youtube channel, my second channel, and Patreon, needless to say, I have been so swamped!

And as you guys have noticed, I've been slacking on my Patreon video...

Van Build EPISODE 0 (A new beginning)

The van build STARTS HERE!

The time has officially come where I start converting my THIRD VAN and this is EPISODE 0 - the start of it all! In today's video I do something you guys are probably going to hate me for which is tear down almost all the renovations that this van originally came with.

I did this because honestly, the previous renovations just weren't up to my standards. But it ended up working out because I found out that there was water damage all around and there wa...

Answering Your Questions!

On my recent Youtube video, I told you guys to ask me some questions for a future Q&A video and here we are! I finally got around to answering some of the most asked questions from you guys and I compiled them all into this 30 minutes video!

I reflect on my vanlife adventures, what lead me to where I am today, and what my future looks like going forward, including whether or not I plan to sell my current van among many other juicy topics!

So if you're curious about learning...

Shopping for a new home & planning my next build (BIG NEWS!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We're starting 2025 off strong with a NEW RIG and this is the big reveal!

To be honest, I told myself I would never build out a new rig because of how much time and effort it takes but this rig sort of just fell in my lap and it was hard to say no. Its THE PERFECT vehicle to be my next home on wheels and the fact that the build is already started on it, gives me a huge head start on my build process. On top of that, it's brand new with absolutely no issues AND its 4x4!...

I officially have COZY candles, wax melts, and even linen sprays!

Ok guys, I know this is super random but THE "SO COZY" SCENT COLLECTION IS FINALLY HERE! Yep, you're reading that right! In partnership with an Alaska local scent mixer that I met this past summer, Denise of Smell This AK, we got together and developed a scent that we both feel really embodies that ~cozy~ feeling that I talk so much about! And now, we have candles, wax melts, and even linen sprays that you can fill your home with! 2024-12-13 17:18:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Celebrate 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS with me! (Limited Edition 1 Millie Merch)

I cannot believe I am this close to 1 million subscribers on youtube... This is INSANE! When I started my little old youtube channel, it was just a place for me to document and share my adventures with my friends and family. I used it as a personal journal with hopes that I would have something to look back on later in life. I never thought that this would become what it's evolved into over the years but here we are, just 8,000 subscribers away from hitting 1 MILLION! I still can't believe it...

Driving across the country (AGAIN!) + LIFE UPDATE

Hey everyone! Happy late Thanksgiving to all of my American friends out there! Finally, I've got a new Patreon video/update for you all!

In today's adventures, I make a big drive across the country, yet again, to hopefully start a new chapter of my life! (Crossing my fingers here haha!) I left the lush beautiful rainforests of Washington to make it down to the cold and snowy Colorado with hopes to get a house with a friend for a bit to take a break from traveling and start building out...

Carving a Pumpkin in Sasquatch Backcountry (Behind the Scenes Video)

In today's cozy fall Patreon exclusive video, I'm camping in the dense forest of the beautiful pacific northwest! And since it's spooky season, I decided to carve a pumpkin and give you a behind the scenes look at my next spooky video that I'm shooting for Youtube! (If you watch until the end, you'll see a HUGE teaser for the new video!)

And on top of that, within this video I finally announce my new Merch line that is live right now! (2024-10-27 15:48:43 +0000 UTC View Post
