I agree about people. The wilderness in your van: safe. The city in your van: target. You reminded me of something my Mom told me when I was little. "CJ you don't have to worry about ghosts! It's the living you have to watch out for."
Hi Ryan, good to see you again. Happy New Years. I think if you add additional footage (like 5-10 sec clips) showing the scenery whether that’s countryside landscapes/city monuments/sunsets, etc., it would make your videos stand out even more. Thanks for another great video.
Hey Ryan, the algorithm rewarded me with this video. First time viewer and now subscribed. I'm from DC and live not too far from where you parked. Parking is restricted in many areas during rush hour for busses. Morning and evening. They have priority in the lanes beside sidewalks for stops. Hope you enjoyed the visit and the walk around the Mall.
9:20 wow! What a great spot in DC!! Can’t wait to visit there myself! And we are also loving the new parking meters in big cities that allow you to park anywhere and take as much room as your vehicle needs. We have a 170 extended Sprinter so we need a lot of parking space LOL
I work in DC on Independence Ave. The reason you can’t park on the street in the morning and afternoon has to do with traffic congestion for those driving to DC for work. Each afternoon, tow trucks wait for the magic hour and will tow.
With you going from Florida to Alaska you should certainly check out some nice places in Canada. I moved from Alberta to Vancouver island and I tell you the west coast (Pacific Northwest) in general is next level and would be sweet watching you explore it with the van. Look into some of the cool places while on your way north, safe travels man!
Hey Ryan I'm glad you posted I was really worried about you.Today's video was definitely a 10/10 and my favourite part as always is you filling up the water tank it's so satisfying! Hope your girlfriend is also doing good you should include her in another video ❤. Stay Safe Ryan ❤ -Jason
I do enjoy watching you visit a grocery store. The ones we have here in the Phoenix area or at least, the ones I visit, are so lacking to be in a major city. The ones you visit across the country seem to have everything plus so much more. If we had more like what you have, it would make all the difference in the world. You mentioned that your viewers are indicating their concern for your safety camping out as you do. I have mentioned this as well and so far so good but it only takes one misstep and we might never see you again. So many people go missing in the mountains for whatever reason and though I am sure you take every precaution to stay safe, always have a backup plan. There is one UA-camr that makes it a point to go to dangerous areas on his travels and really puts forth an effort to do so and many of his viewers warn him repeatedly, and though you are not like that, please don't take chances that could backfire on you as I and others feel it will him. I am just afraid of reading someday where he has been found naked, tortured to death! Take care and have a great day!
Dude as a Federal Employee who lives in the DMV you have motivated me into realizing this shit aint it!!!!! and I just want to live my life by noones standards. Thank you
I was so happy to see a notification today. There is something about your video's I really enjoy watching. Dinner looked yummy. Looking forward to the next video.
Congrats on the awesome stealth camping spot! What a great view of the monument at the end. That recipe looks amazing. Will absolutely be trying more elevated ramen, stir fry and curry dishes this year. All about mixing it up with simple ingredients and I have also found some amazing recipes on TikTok. Excited for more :)
Scoot down a few blocks over to federal center southwest and plenty of nice spots to park or stealth camp overnight. If things get really desperate, Marriott is right around the corner and holiday inn is one block over with FEMA. Cheers!!!!
Those are the rush-hour parking restrictions & DC will tow on that stretch of 7th street. I use to work a block away, and frequent Penn Quarter Sports Tavern. Unfortunately, the years of Covid decimated that bar and surrounding restaurants. At 7am, you could have just moved literally about 50 yards to the left & onto the national mall for a few more hours zzzzz's. I speak from experience, I spent many days hiding out & sleeping in my Odyssey, but still within range of my two-way radio if work was looking for me. 😀
I use to live in a Van before and you can get away with parking in apartment complex before they started the visitor pass.I had a RV and those are hard to hide or park anywhere without someone suspecting living in it.A van is more better or even a small box truck.Trailer homes are noticable.
On your trip going down to Florida I’m assuming you’re going to pass through North Carolina & I strongly recommend driving through Wilmington North Carolina on your way to Florida it’s my hometown & the beach (specifically Wrightsville beach) is beautiful but also you should check out Carolina beach state park or Fort Fisher if you want.
Nice to see a video again I must just tell you I have seen a lot of different van builders and they are very nice but your van looks like a real home and you have inspired me to look into buliding my own van south Africa not very big on van life but I want to try I think it would be great 👍🏻
I’m always really skeptical when I see new vanlife channels I’ve never seen before. Like: “another one of these? Alright… let’s see what this one’s got in store”. I think that’s because I got my array of vanlife channels I really like and stick to those. But I gotta say, this channel just flew up to the top of my list. Really cool vanbuild and awesome video.
I was at that caps game and was walking the national mall earlier that day! Funny enough up visiting from Florida for new years and started watching your videos a month ago. You should check out St. Pete FL when you swing down, some great camp spots by the peir with a killer view
Hello ryan! I been watching your videos for months now. Happy new year to you! I enjoy watching you going around unite states and live in your van. I do recommend for you to buy a instant pots whenever you cook anything with soup. It will be helpful to you and less messy too.
Just found your channel dawg and let me say Ive watched like 40 of your videos already. You are an absolute natural at this. Sending you all the support from MD!
What say it isn’t so! Like one of the other comments I look everyday for new content from you. I do watch a few favorites, but whay a new lone. Yeah. Hoping maybe you consider a type of meet and greet. I live above Baltimore. Loving this tour in DC.
I've tried top Ramon with big shrimps before and it top notch meal to eat.When I was a teen I use to have Roman mixed with left over taco meat and add hot sauce to it and it was the best meal I ate and kept eating.
Ihave done that before,but I parked right across from the american history museun,in case you want to park safe you can park at the union station,I think is on the top floor.they offer park for class b rvs.
Nice video. Man Ramen couldn't have looked any better.have you thought of putting cameras around outside and a couple of screens so when you open door and are cooking you can see who is around you?. Stay safe and happy you finally uploaded.
You need to be out of that spot by 0700 and again at 1600 (4pm) because they open the parking “lane” up for traffic during rush hour to try to keep log jams down to a minimum. Shortly before they 🎉open the parking lane to vehicle traffic, the cops roll up to open the lane before traffic starts jamming up. If they come up and cars are parked in that lane, they get cranky and write a ticket. I misread the afternoon hours a couple of months ago and came back to a ticket on my vehicle. Oops! I got a couple of angry honks from the commuters because I was sitting in the middle of the fast lane. Just FYI because you didn’t know why you needed to move the van by 0700.
I did an internship at the DACOR Bacon house last summer it’s a cool little historical home with amazing history. You should definitely check it out next time you’re in DC. Also you’re great at COD man bout to play first game of bo6😂
Did you notice you were overcharged for the bulgogi sauce? The sticker said $7.49 but it rang up $8.19. What’s in that stuff anyway, gold flecks? Why so pricey? Love these stealth camping videos!
Hey Ryan...are you going to the VanLife campout near Dade City at the beginning of February? If so, I will see you there! If a guy comes up to you with his own camera saying..."Hey, I am Mesa Mike, from the Road Patriot VanLife"...well that is me! Happy trails!
dude, did not know you lived in MD. that is dope. I think i recognize that giant from like crofton area? either way, just got put on your channel. looking forward to the crosscountry tour!

I felt alive again when that notification popped up. Then I saw it is 23 minutes long and almost fainted. Felt like Christmas as a child.
😂😂 appreciate you homie. I think this is my longest video ever
Same here,now you might not believe me but every blessed day,I checked to see if you uploaded,and today,you did
i appreciate this channel but ur doing too much
@@Pastor_Blunt good thing we don't care about your opinion
@@Mark-ko2ir just glad u recovered from the faint

I got used to your daily uploads prior to last year's holidays, and this made me feel like I have been waiting for this one for years. 🤣
Now this is my type of stealth camping. Head into this city, grab some drinks, go back and play some games then call it a night 👌🏻
Love when I get home tired after work, just chill and watch Ryan….love these videos man!❤🔥
Legend!
He’s always judging low class states
Im a regular hood dude doing food reviews on my UA-cam channel 😈😈
@@SevenHunnid Run them 1's
I’m glad I found your channel! Really enjoy your van life adventures and the cool food you cook in your van.
Have a great day!
Yesssss, aaaannnndddd we are back on the road! So glad these videos are back!
Good stuff,man! I live in Maryland and work in the D.C. area. Very cool to see some positivity coming from the mall. Keep going and stay safe
Yooooo so happy to see you back out and about! Always enjoying the videos!

Missed the videos man! Nothing like relaxing and watching a vlog, Keep it up I can't wait for the next videos!
So down to earth and easy to watch. Thanks for your videos Ryan.
Your vids are always as entertaining as the old ones. keep it up from a fellow Marylander 🎉
When i saw you upload 23 minute video i was so happy bro love your videos keep going im waiting for new adventures
Hello I’ve been living your vids recently I have just discovered your channel, one of the best and neatest van builds I’ve seen

Always funny seeing my clients products being used in everyday videos , big fan of the content
Spent many hours of many days on those streets, video brings back memories. Love the content,been binge watching the trip to MD, now on to phase two.
Scoot down a few blocks over to federal center southwest and plenty of nice spots to park or stealth camp overnight. If things get really desperate, Marriott is right around the corner and holiday inn is one block over with FEMA.
Cheers!!!!
So glad you got your beer while in DC this time. Great video. Thank you.

Great to see you back! Fun going along on your travels.
I concur. I was in DC and it was very warm (and crowded with tourists)
I use to live in a Van before and you can get away with parking in apartment complex before they started the visitor pass.I had a RV and those are hard to hide or park anywhere without someone suspecting living in it.A van is more better or even a small box truck.Trailer homes are noticable.
Just got off work from a 10 hour shift.
This will relax me.
Thanks
I kid you not I have spent the whole weekend binge watching all your videos. UA-cam recommended you to me yesterday and have been hooked 😀
This van is amazing. The use of space is great and living space neat and tidy. Great set up, bro.

I’m so glad you’re back out. Yay Ryan!😊. That ramen looked so good. I’m going to make it. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Safe travels!❤
you’re definitely getting up there fs. i started watching a while back when i saw u on tik tok. keep it up buddy you’re doing good
The lighting in the van is super nice. Well done. Nice build overall. Points for the Victor Frankl book.
AWESOME DINNER... AWESOME CAMPING SPOTT... GOTTA TRY IT IN D.C. SINCE I LIVE 6 MILES OUTSIDE IT...

Man I love your videos keep up the work! I’ve been binge watching your videos they’re amazing!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Ryan great to see you back on your channel. Look forward to your travels.
😊 🇨🇦
Brother I love the journey! You need to make a cookbook! All the dishes you make in van! Great merch idea. I would buy it
Love your content, waiting for your upcoming adventures ❤
I've tried top Ramon with big shrimps before and it top notch meal to eat.When I was a teen I use to have Roman mixed with left over taco meat and add hot sauce to it and it was the best meal I ate and kept eating.
Hey man, one way you can reheat food without the microwave is a thermal bag and just boil it. Saves space and you don't risk burning the food
Were You Always A Good Cook Before You Started Your Van Living?? I enjoy your channel so much!!! Thank You!!
Best way to relax before going to bed is watching this amazing videos.
Ryan, I need this recipe. Love seeing you living the low-fi/low key roadlife..
Ihave done that before,but I parked right across from the american history museun,in case you want to park safe you can park at the union station,I think is on the top floor.they offer park for class b rvs.
Nice video. Man Ramen couldn't have looked any better.have you thought of putting cameras around outside and a couple of screens so when you open door and are cooking you can see who is around you?. Stay safe and happy you finally uploaded.
Early morning parking restriction is for rush hour traffic. Pretty common in dc area streets. Similar restriction for afternoon rush hour
Hey man thanks for sharing and try the ramen recipe! Glad you loved it!
Watched this 2 times! Thanks for posting!
Glad to finally see an upload! Keep it up dude!
Hi Ryan 👋🏾 I rarely comment. BUT..I love the ceiling in your van. It's super dope! Safe travels 🙏🏽
IKEA White Marsh or IKEA College Park? Lived in Silver Spring for a bit before you were born. We had to go to Virginia for IKEA back then. 😜
Great to see you back at it!
Awesome, You Really Can’t See Any Light At All. Sweet Build.🤗
Aloha Ryan - all is well in the world again now that you’ve posted a new video…. Thank you
The upgrades look great and quite functional!
Your van layout is perfect!
Hey Ryan,
How much on an average do you spend per month living in your van? Including gas and everything?
When your new upload popped up I got so pumpedddd
What a awesome spot, looked epic. Hope you had a good christmas and new year. :)
That ramen looks amazing, I need to find a GERD friendly version of it for sure!
Van looks great. I still see the front window with the crack!
S/O to Giant Food 😂 Best salad bar ever! That's definitely prime parking up at the National Mall. Love your videos m8 keep it up homie
First time you went was one of my favorite videos

Brother. You have balls parking down in DC. Love the channel keep killing it!
Can’t wait for the next trip , love ur content btw❤
Any tips on how to plan a cross country road trip? Example finding places to stay and the Do's and Don'ts
I did an internship at the DACOR Bacon house last summer it’s a cool little historical home with amazing history. You should definitely check it out next time you’re in DC. Also you’re great at COD man bout to play first game of bo6😂
i like the style of videos you make. very easy to keep watching
Did you notice you were overcharged for the bulgogi sauce? The sticker said $7.49 but it rang up $8.19. What’s in that stuff anyway, gold flecks? Why so pricey?
Love these stealth camping videos!
Started watching you about a month ago, please keep posting videos this long.
Evening viewing sorted. Lovely jubbly.
I'm glad ur back making videos b safe on ur road trip
Love DC so much. Thanks for posting!
I knew this recipe was going to be legit when I saw you add the gochujang sauce. It honestly looks amazing, I will 100% need to try this!
Hey Ryan...are you going to the VanLife campout near Dade City at the beginning of February? If so, I will see you there! If a guy comes up to you with his own camera saying..."Hey, I am Mesa Mike, from the Road Patriot VanLife"...well that is me! Happy trails!

Just made the ramen for dinner.. did chicken instead of shrimp but definitely one of the best ramens I ever had! Love your videos
I stayed about 3 blocks from the national mall in a parking lot for 2 months (November -December 2021).
I watched your caps beat my jackets tonight in Columbus... It was cool to see Ovechkin play in person. I just wish my team wasn't so bad ☹
Pretty wild! I used to be a police officer in your home town! Love your videos! 🤙🏼
Mammoth Cave, KY. It's great all year long.
Im a sabres fan Tage Thompson is a beast! It was a nice tribute the caps gave to Damar before the game!
Yay! I love you Ryan!
The ceiling is so cool. I literally just told wife when my kids are older I want to either convert my own van or buy an rv and travel.
