Hey mate im Chris, just had a split also and have a little boy as well. Tonight is the last night in my house before tomorrow I live in my van. my life will change from tomorrow.
Good on you mate - you've taken a bad situation and really made something of it. Found your channel randomly and watched because I like VW Caddys/van videos and glad I did! Keep going and all the best.
i've just kitted my Vauxhall Vivaro out to live in. I'm in a rented old static caravan at the moment cos it's cheap rent, but i will be easing myself into the van over the winter period and if i can take to it, i'll be off. I'm just not willing to pay stupid money on renting property. You come across really well on camera mate, infact, like a top bloke.
@@BikerVanLife I pick up this week, its a little Peugeot partner and im 6ft 3 haha, but I want this lifestyle for many years, not sure how will make It work but will try, need some curtains like you have.
Your doing well, I can't even string a sentance together in front of the camera, I can't even produce a Podcast at the age of 49. Long time Van lifer, I have a VW LT35 with a wood burner and a diesel heater in it.
726 subscribers in 8 weeks is fairly impressive mate. I considered this myself tbh and it’s great to hear someone else talking about this so early into the journey. Genuinely hope you keep at it and get yourself a decent following to help support this lifestyle.
I’m 40, just split after 22 years and two children. Can’t afford rent so I’m about to move into a Renault trafic. It’s going to be tough! Just got to keep the depression at bay! You’re doing great, keep your head up!
@@THE-REAL-TR4KERZ oh mate I’m sorry to here that. Don’t let it get you down. Enjoy the freedom and that little bit of space away from the world all of your own. Make sure you get some great views organised to wake up to 👍
I can relate to the sudden loss of "home" when you live with someone that you love and suddenly that person doesn't want you around anymore. the challenges can be overwhelming especially if you don't have a vehicle that you are able to move into. thanks for sharing you experiences great job God Bless subbed to see more content.
Hi pal, I have watched all your videos now and really love them. This is my first comment on your channel and this video is really inspiring to me, I’m putting things in place for the start of next year to start my own channel! Things just haven’t worked out but this is definitely the motivation I need to start my UA-cam journey just like you 😊 I’m 42, been full time van lifer for 3 months now and I’m a Harley Rider with a passion for adventure. Not too dissimilar really. Keep up the good work pal 👍
@@BikerVanLife Thanks mate, it’s been really interesting watching your channel grow over these couple of months. A lot of us can relate because you keep your videos real, both the highs & the lows 👍
Really enjoying following you on your vanlife journey weight loss tips fitness martial arts all great content ,what style martial arts do you teach looks similar to goshinkai jujitsu
NEW SUBSCRIBER, good luck mate. i was full time for 2 years, back to rented now....... Plymouth here, are you close by?? i have some excellent FREE prk ups not many know about if youre intersted, and 1 NO ONE knows about, right next to a lake. let me know if you ever are in Plymouth and i will let u know mate
@@rickreid8572 haha I definitely don’t make any real money from UA-cam at all 😂 I work full time 5-6 days a week. If anyone is starting UA-cam to make money they will have a shock that’s for sure. I do it because I enjoy it and it’s good for me. Hopefully it will also help others too. Thank you for the comment though 😊

I'm trying to save for a van. Just really struggling with that😢. I'd love a van the size of yours

you only make you tube videos to make money. No other reason.
