Merry Christmas Benjamin. New subscriber. Love seeing some of the older generation getting out there and living their best life. I'm in my 50s but I also grew up on those old Christmas shows and it was just like you described it. Couldn't wait to see them. Love the video.
Hello sir, I am curious, does van livin not cost almost as much as having a cheap apartment? It seems the savings would be minimal. Unless you stayed in a single location. Just curious, cheers!@@VanlifeBlackpearl
I found your channel. I love watching you enjoy cooking. I am 58, so I support my fellow seniors living their best lives. I am in Illinois living in my SUV. I am happier living on the road. I chose this life, and 3 yrs later, I don't regret it 😊
It’s funny that as you get older you realize while it’s nice to have lots of things, you really don’t need much to make you happy. Great meal , great view , nice an warm and some music. You look like your loving life, enjoy it.
Benjamin, this is no lie. My wife and I are both from Brooklyn and we were just talking how Uber was invented from Black pearl and the vans that use to drive you the fee blocks you didn't want to walk. Be safe Benjamin and continue to live your best life. Oh when I was younger we use to go to the meat house and pack bags and sometimes put folk in Black pearl.
I really don’t know what it is about you but you just seem to be such a good person, I enjoyed your video, especially the vintage Rudolf cartoon. Reminded me of my childhood 😊
New subbie here. Stumbled across this channel. Happy to see elders finding an alternative way to live free and content. Love it! Sound like Denzel btw😊
My 2nd video with you. First visit INSIDE your van. You opened that door and i saw FLAMES. omg!!! Then realized it was your "fireplace" lol. Big sigh of relief. Your van is awesome!!! Yes Christmas with no snow is normal...i live in Florida...lol.
This Florida girl promises her family a white Christmas next year. This is my first time seeing one of your videos. Subscribing ❤ God Bless you all and your endeavors.
Yes to snow free Christmas. I grew up in southern CA. As a child we’d go to Bird Rock in San Diego to see the Christmas tree the surfers would drag out to the rock. We always went to the beach on Christmas Day. 🥳 🎉❤
Man this channel is awesome!!! I love to cook on the back of my work truck, your channel really inspired me to really expand my cooking selection…can’t wait to watch more. I subscribed also ✝️🇺🇸👆🏻✌🏻
I have 7 more years until i can retire and live life. I save all my pocket change, buy precious metals and now going to start saving cash. Merry Christmas. New sub. 👍

I agree I’m 61 wld live to do that
I am still watching thinking about doing it
How do you live van life with no address for a driver's license, car registration, & car insurance? I ask for just in case I have to do van life.
Most use a friend or family address, & use a mail forwarding source. @@Selahbrooke3
@@Selahbrooke3 Full time RV'ers get residency in South Dakota to handle all that. Apparently it's pretty easy. Just google it all kinds of info.
If you ever want your bread to be toast you can do that in the pan too… butter it and fry in pan til browned and flip
Black Pearl!!! Many New Yorkers don’t even remember that, I do. Graduated from Westinghouse High School. Be safe out there… Memories and Blessings
I’m loving this! As a trucker who is used to being on the road, I plan to do a van or RV as I get close to retirement. I basically live the life now!🥰
That is awesome!
I ❤ Christmas vintage cartoons! I have the best memories watching those when I was growing up!
happy holiday to you/thanks much
