5:03 you totally just took a huge bite out of that wrapper lmao!😂
😂 I mean I thought so but he didn’t address it so I didn’t know for sure but that sound tho… 😂
Came here to bring that up! I mean it is Wendy's, so prob cant tell difference between paper and "beef."
@@thescouch Wendys is delicious what are you talking about!?
lol, I heard it first. and had to rewatch.
Yummy😂
I'm battling cancer. Im bed side everyday. I look forward to your videos. I think your great. It helps me escape my cancer while watching your videos. Thank you for making the videos. Keep rocking
I hope you get better am sending prayers to you
I hope you are better man
God bless
Get well soon
I hope you get better
I am a salary man. A family man. While I am happy with my choices, I like watching this channel because it's a way for me to see the path not taken. Its so fun to watch.
what do you do
Leave your family behind. Just say you’re going out to get milk and dip.

Just wanted to say. You, Mav, and Steve Wallis have been my go to for distractions. Y'all have helped me through this divorce I'm going through. Keep doing what you are doing and producing great content.
Keep your head up and get out of it stronger then before!
I feel the same. Just went through a very traumatic divorce myself. Escaping with Ryan and other van life people through youtube has helped me too.
I suggest also supporting winterisblu his name is Mateo and he's a van lifer and I been supporting him for a while now, if you like the van life videos definitely support him as well, 😊 van lifers all need support from the fans
If you like check out Jonathan Yentch and CrazyQuady they both are on my top played up with Steve Wallis Mav and of course Ryan
@Ben definitely and I love how the van life community shares a good portion of the supporters it just goes to show that the work and efforts they put in spreads from all ends of the globe, SAFE TRAVELS !
What makes your videos popular is that you are realistic. I've watched many and they look staged, planned or fake. Your cooking is fantastic and just down to earth presentations are interesting and keeps me watching.
I just wanted to take a moment to commend you on your articulacy. You have an impressive ability to express your thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively. It's always a pleasure to listen to you speak.
Nice vocab! I actually had to look that one up, which I don't normally have to do. 🥰
Aloha - I started following Ryan when had less than 75,000 subscribers. Ryan always exudes someone who is confident, secure and one who lives life on his own terms. He never glamorizes van life and keeps his videos real. He knows that he has the love & support of his family, his friends & his subscribers that are beside him throughout his journeys. This is never about someone trying to find himself or someone who is on a voyage of self discovery. For me, Ryan is proud to be living in a country that has so much to see, so much to discover and then he’s sharing those gems with us. Thank you Ryan for being you & for all that you do. We’re almost at 200,000 🎉
bit of a nitpick but it would probably make more grammatical sense to say ryan exudes confidence, security etc...
Can we appreciate how much Ryan has grown as a UA-camr over the last 6 months.
No
@@BruceWayne53713 😂😂😂
yes def, very inspiring guy
Indeed
Very inspiring explanation at the end. I've been living alone since out of high school, and I honestly don't feel the need to make a bunch of friends (even though I have made some very close ones that are like family now) or be surrounded by people all the time. It is nice to get to know oneself every minute of the day. That's why I can't wait to RV full time with the pups and a wolfdog (that's going to take all the time in my day alone lol).
Your videos and a few others I watch are a huge distraction for me and help me get through chronic pain not so alone. I use to be so active and lived and loved every bit of life and now I'm terminal. Just sucks. So when people make honest videos and not lying and full of crap makes people want to watch more. Doing this alone takes a lot of mental strength Ryan. 100% you should know who you are be comfortable alone ect to be able to do what you do. A lot of the van life community isn't honest, fake and just act like it's always perfect and your real. I appreciate you and all you do. Stay safe! God bless! And I can't wait for you to get to Alaska! Looking forward to that journey ❤
Your post resonated with me 💜 I am thinking of you 💭 sending you energy that will make you giggle about something so hard, your cheeks hurt 😊 I’m in school to be a nurse to work with terminal patients as I want every single day to be what makes them remember forever. 🙏🏾 Just wanted to tell you that a stranger out here in Baltimore is loving on your life even when you don’t realize 😉 I got you. Many blessings, love 💜
In relation to what you have been talking about in this video.. i didn't realize it till now, but watching your videos really is kind of a mental escape for me.
I live in israel and own a camper trailer. Got it in order to travel more and at least for a short while at a time live the vanlife experience.
But i don't get to do it as much as i want to.. i run a dog training and daycare business.. so work always is in the way....
But watching your videos gives me the drive to make time for traveling. And i am working towards making the business more self sustained so i can do so!
So thanks for that!
New subscribers here. A few videos back I noticed the comments about you being alone and being lonely. After just watching a few videos I totally 'got it' and it's exactly what you just said; you're not alone.... you are traveling with your best friend! That level of comfort and inner peace is a rare gift... ENJOY and stay safe!
Brother your words at the end were very heartfelt and connected on a real level more than you even know. I know it may be cliche and may even seem prisoner of the moment but truly, thank you.
You have my support, so often I see ppl that are not so authentic. Thank you for being a great example of how to be extremely honest and impressive example of how we can express ourselves thoughtfully on this space. In this ever changing time we’re in. Thank you. What a great start to my Saturday.
Hi, Ryan. I’ve just been watching from (I think) 11 months ago the episode when you were sand-boarding. I’m not sure why I enjoy your story so much, but a lot has to do with the life you live by yourself and the philosophy that you’ve developed over time and, in this episode, explain to those who follow your journey. I lived for a short time in Fort St. John, near the beginning of the Alaska (no "n“) Highway, and found particularly interesting your trip to the northern part of North America. Incidentally, I’m 82 and have lived solo most of my life, so can empathize with your life style. Thanks, too, for all your cooking tips, several of which I’ve followed and enjoyed.
Your videos are my escape. When I’m at work and I’m on lunch for an hour. I just want to escape my world for a bit, I sit down get my lunch and watch your videos. They help me relax and forget about what’s going on. Keep up the great work man. ❤
It's good to hear that you're feelings about a van life are realistic and positive. Some of the other UA-camr's I've watched seem almost resentful and somewhat depressed after a year or so of living on the road, but you give off a more natural vibe. I can definitely see a big difference between people that enjoy and love who they are and those that are trying to escape or are looking for something that can't be found out there. Your outlook on it is very good to hear and it explains a few things. Love watching your vids even when you are staying put for a couple of days. lol...I like hearing you chit chat and cook when you are staying somewhere, even if the scenery doesn't change.
Nice to see someone who feels that way too... its almost like they are forced to do this for a living and they act so miserable like they hate the world...maybe they do, but I feel like nobody is making them continue the youtube journey if they hate it so much they need to find a new hobby, most do quit after about 2 yrs that I have seen anyway. Hoping Ryan goes far and continues his love for the vanlife.
I've just found your channel and have been binge-watching your videos. I'm not a van life person but I find your philosophy very inspiring. It has helped me to reevaluate my life and where I'm going in the next phase. You've reminded of how exciting life is if we just keep our vision open.
One of the best part of my days; Ryan's down to earth and chill adventures!
Took longer to get through the video because I kept replaying Ryan v. The Random Sand Tornado. 😂
First time on the internet?
That part had me cracking up, even the bird attempting to fly away in the corner was like “oh fuq!!” 🤣🤣
Had to watch that multiple times. I love how he keeps those funny moments in the videos, like when he tripped while fishing! Lol
Likewise, watched 3 or 4 times
Just wanted to say thank you, wasn't sure when I started watching you if I'd continue to but you make the content you have so inviting. It kept me coming back. Your being alone helped me get thru my lonelyness. But I'm alone cause my husband passed away a year ago and that is hard for me to understand how you can be away from your girlfriend so much. Not sure if it's a commitment issue but if I was her I'd want you with me not so far away. But my husband and I were married over 25 years so we were used to life together. Have a great day. Besides when you go live your not alone but love the videos more. Dawn from Pennsylvania
Watching for over a year now from the netherlands , loving your content and seeing the beauty of america and a real inside look of vanlife. Keep up the good work!😊
GLAMIS!!! I used to ride my modified 87' Yamaha Banshee (quad) there all the time and Dumont Dunes. Good times there and memories.
I also love how you’re half planned/half winging it and not sweating the details 😊
I would love to travel the country this way some day but along with my husband and young son. I don't know what it would look like but it's something I am working towards. For now we travel by plane at least twice a year, our next trip is in May.
My son and I love historic places, military history, and air and space museums.
We've seen a lot of the old military batteries near us in San Francisco. We also visited an old radar station from WW2 in Northern CA on the coast in the redwoods.
Love seeing the excitement on my son's face when he sees an old fort, battleship, or aircraft carrier.
Enjoy watching your videos.
Ryan, well said my friend. You nailed it perfectly. I am 60 years old and retired and I could not have defined any better what you just put together about being your best friend, etc. You are a brilliant young man that has it together. Thank you for another great video.
I look forward to your videos like a series on Netflix. I’ve been struggling to recover from addiction and you have kept me going. It’s inspiring to me how you can just do new things all on your own, even just boarding down that dune by yourself with confidence was awesome. You and I are the same age but I hope to be like you one day. Hopefully one day I have the money to buy one of your hoodies because I love the look!
"I am my own best friend" - love that. I love living alone. Even if I end up in a committed partnership, I'm going to find a way to maintain a solo lifestyle, or at least compromise without losing myself. It's great to see how other people do the same!
I wish UA-cam would have been an option when I was young. I traveled all over Mexico on buses but always had to go back to work to finance the trip. I may take up van life when I retire in a couple years. I love traveling and want to see more of the world.
I like your travel philosophy it is a good guide for people looking to VanLife.
you were beating yourself up when you said if you didn’t know if you were making sense. I think you described it perfectly for someone that’s looking into the van life, couldn’t have said it any better youre a wise man.
Sand Tornado ?! Lol. That must be way worse than a dust devil. I can’t believe i’ve never heard them called that before. Safe Travels Amigo 👊
A piece of cardboard box woks just as good. I used to do when I was younger. And that’s a very dangerous spot. Slab City. Watch your back. It’s another world. Literally.
And yes . You are your own best friend. Cheers from Florida ✨👍🌴
It did cross my mind that Slab City wasn’t the best place to spend the night. And, you want to see it during the day😉
Always enjoy your videos! Thank you for taking us along!
Yes, I am one of your core followers. When I travel from my home base in Florida around the US or abroad, I learn so much more when I am alone…
Geez, the locations, the fact "we're" in a van, and getting to see so many cool places that are not much spoken of... What an honor to be able to watch this
Ryan you just made a meal from your van using gas station hotdogs. You my friend have upped your Legend status tenfold. This is why your channel is blowin up my friend. You aren’t afraid to step outta the box. 👏
Holy sh#^# you nailed it about comparing to sailing! I am a sailor and I swear I feel like I am at the helm when driving my PM in the wind!
To be really clear on something, you're damned right that there's value in what you do. Keep it up, Ryan!
I can relate to enjoying your own company being an introvert. Seeing people once in awhile is nice but being alone is just something I enjoy and need .... Love your channel and your meals while on the road.
I’m disabled and a female and I dream of being able to travel like this one day. I never wanted to leave the US because I’m afraid but there’s so much to offer here I feel I’ll never see or experience most of it. I enjoy watching you so I can still feel like I experience and learn more and more with each video you put out so thank you.
What you said about being your own best friend was really well said. It made me think and I agree.👍
The food you make in this van blows me away it inspires me to do better in my van life.
I enjoy watching your videos of your travels. The way you video you driving place to place, makes one feel like they are actually there to enjoy the beautiful sunsets, the sand dunes, and wherever else you travel to. I have always wanted to travel but have not had the opportunity to do so. Thanks for sharing your trips that you make to many places across the United States! So awesome!!
Ryan, you’re never alone with all your viewers presently watching! Keep up the great travels!
Love watching your travels! So inspiring and your personal insights are incredible. Can’t wait to see where you go next.
This is the exact reason, I wanted to travel. I like to see cool stuff and have new experiences. I would say meaning and fulfillment is internal and external. Which is what you eventually described. Seeing cool stuff wasn't enough to satisfy eventually. The act of service to a community took it to the next level.
This country is so beautiful and it takes a lifetime to visit all these beautiful sites.
Man ... The speech at the end .... Love it ... Amazing ... Keep up the good work ... Much love!
I’m glad you kept the end in the video. Good stuff for everyone to hear.
Very good advice towards the end of the video about traveling alone and how it might not be for everyone even though it seems intriguing. I'm the same way where I don't mind being alone but of course not ALL the time. I think if I actually vanlifed it I wouldn't constantly be on the go like you are, because I also don't care as much about scenic things as most people do. I think what I would do personally is chase good weather around for the most part and maybe stay in cool cities/towns for extended periods of time. Granted this wouldn't probably make for a great youtube channel as far as content goes.
Well said on not feeling lonely, being content w/ oneself is very key in this life. PPL often seek love outside of themselves, when all the answers are truly found w/in, joy, pure love, courage-fearless, WISDOM. Thank you for sharing your light:wisdom w/ your audience. I've only subscribed to your channel a few months back, but I've come to know you more thru your vids as if we are a distant soul-tribe family, specially when you left your old career. I did too, as I was working for an aerospace corp/govt contractor, but had this calling/mission I had to fulfill. After ~5 yrs on the road out & leaving career of 19 yrs, never looked back at my decision w/ regrets, bcuz I know where I'm going & what I have accomplished, lessons to take w/ me to keep moving fwd. More pwr to your journey & safe travels always.
I'm from Yuma Arizona right on the other side of the border and when I was a freshman in high school is when they were filming Return of the Jedi out in the sand dunes and I along with a group of other people went out there to check it out and it was pretty awesome!
love what you said at the end of the video dude! being alone and being comfortable with yourself is a powerful trait not many people have
Exactly with being your own best friend. Alone and lonely are two distinct conditions. Lonely, there are too many layers that require a medical review and alone is exactly as you stated. Being by yourself is not lonely when you are as confident as you are and sharing your adventures. Yes, we live through your experiences. 😊
I absolutely love going on this journey with you. Seeing things I would never get to see. Pretty cool....
OMG!!! How fun! I loved the sand ski! ❤
My boyfriend and I love watching your videos as we eat dinner. It’s our favorite night time mental health wind down. Thanks for always being upbeat!
Love that you share, I am rebuilding a lance 2445 travel trailer and also a Skoolie, with 14-16 months I will be 100% solar off grid. All these stories and experiences are amazing. When I am visiting my family during the winter months, we go to buttercup and Gordon’s well(closer to Arizona), I live the dunes but we have a group of 20 Polaris RZR’s, you experiencing the dunes without a side-by-side is priceless to see. Keep the awesome work and I agree with you 100% about solitude, the only thing I miss about loving myself is not being able to cuddle but I manage with a few FWB on Martha’s Vineyard in the summer.
Have NO CLUE how I discovered Ryan (Might of been in a recommended algorithm search from another live in a van channel) and this one is one of, if not THE, best channel of this type of content.
i would love to live the van life, however my partner hates the idea. And as the song goes, "I'd rather live with him in his life, than live without him in mine".
Therefore I live vicariously this life through yours.
And you do it well.
Good onya mate.
All that rambling made perfect sense homeboy and your channel has high value you allow us to travel with you something 99% of us will never have the opportunity to do so. This community you build definitely cherishes you!!! Shout out from El Paso Texas!!!
I love being by myself. The only time I get "sad" when on the road is when I wish someone I love (my family) could have these same awesome experiences. It's pretty hard to catch a flight to a small town in Minnesota to show them this beautiful town I experienced.
I'm glad you included that in the video. You're a great guy Ryan and glad you are bringing us along with you on your adventure. I have always said... "everywhere I go, I go with my best friend" and people look at me strange. But I think you get that lol. That meal looked awesome and pretty simple BTW
I always thought it would be cool to live the Van Life but I don't think its really for me. When I watch your videos, it's almost like I'm experiencing it with you; super interesting way to live. Keep up the work brother, much love.
Been watching for a few months now and you’re the only UA-cam channel that I always watch whenever a new video comes out. I think it’s awesome what you do and how comfortable you are with yourself. Made me think, with all of the technology today I’m sure it makes it easier to be “alone,”. How do you think you would fare if this was say 1800 and you were in a wagon traveling alone…? The cooking portion would be pain in the ass I imagine.
Hi Ryan, I am from Asia your videos have inspired me and I was thinking of traveling, self driving and exploring around California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah at the end of the year. But after seeing so many crimes reported on social media, like the southern border issues, do you think it’s still safe for tourist? Thanks!
Hey Eyuli. Yes, do it! While there is some crime everywhere, it's concentrated in rough parts of the bigger cities. I'm 62 years old and have never been a victim of crime (thank the lord). The southwestern USA is magical... and the people are very kind. Take common sense precautions and you will be fine... and there are way more good people than bad. Cheers from Alabama, USA.
dood this so crazy, I mentioned this place when you were looking for ideas of places to visit and now you here!!!! This place kinda blew our mind, we had no idea they were there and just drove them through them randomly on the way back from Yuma.
I am not able to travel so I love going on trips with you. I get to see stuff I would never get to see so thank you for sharing 😊
I believe you were at Osborne Lookout in Glamis. We did a rollover there in our buggy riding the bowl and became crumb donuts! LOL! Many a weekend spent in Glamis, so much fun. Welcome to Southern California!
I appreciate what you had to say at the end because I feel pretty much the same way. I am a loner when it comes to traveling because my friends and I rarely could get the same amount of time off. We wanted to go to the same places and do much of the same but scheduling such a trip was too often impossible. Fortunately or unfortunately my travels began on an international scale and I remember telling my parents that I am so grateful for the opportunity to see the world, but I haven't seen my own country to any great extent. It wasn't until I moved to Seattle that I was able to start seeing a lot of the Western part of the US but to this day, I still haven't seen much of the Central and Eastern parts other than to transfer between flights in those areas. You are doing great and I am very envious of what all you have been able to accomplish and I wish you only the best! I really enjoy your vlogs and look forward to your future adventures. Thanks for all you do!
Enjoyed the inspirational words of wisdom at the end. Really enjoy your content.. thank you 😊
Love watching the different ways you do things while in the van gives me ideas to use next time wife & I go camping
I love the little monologue you had while eating. Inspiring!
I live and work in the same building, since the pandemic hit business slowed down. I used to travel a lot up 3 vacations a year. I miss seeing new places. Thank you Ryan for getting me through this difficult time in life. Your adventures and down to earth narration make life sweeter.
Glad you got to make it out that way. It's like another planet. Love the vids!
22:00 you have inspired me to remember who I was before I had to adjust to people being around me constantly.
I've been working towards getting myself set up to start traveling with my job for the last year or so, and I think what you said about being comfortable with yourself and growing from within is really important. It's really important to me that travel isn't used just as an escape. Really enjoy your content, thanks for sharing all that you do.
Congrats on a video hitting 1m + views. Was looking back through them and just noticed 🎉🎉
Just had a look, looks like the top two are about gaming.
The gaming ones are. People are curious why gaming in a camper and how much electricity it takes. Gaming is the biggest platform
Waiting for him to hit 200 subs and more, been there since early days.
I discovered the channel mid January. Always look forward to a new video now after watching all the videos a few times since then.
My parents used to water ski at the Salton Sea. Once upon a time it was supposed to be this beautiful development for housing etc. 🤷♀️
When my husband was young, his family would camp there.
Ryan I battle with depression and anxiety and PTSD and watching your UA-cam videos helps me find myself you are a blessing I wish I was doing better with my mental health I would love to do what you are doing
Watching from Singapore, love your videos and your way of keeping it real!!
I watched all of your videos so now I’m disappointed I don’t have a bunch of new videos to binge lol my wife says there’s other van life UA-camrs and I’m like nah I love this guy he’s the best!
I look forward for your videos after a long day of work. Love the content and hope to visit some of these places on my next drive on the road.
$20 a shower?? Holy moly!!!! Enjoy you content each time Ryan. You can always tell someone who is a really decent cook - they keep a pretty good pantry of ingredients on hand to make something out of nothing whenever you want to. Thanks for sharing!
5:03 That moment when you eat the wrapper with the burger 😆
Awesome video today. So happy your enjoying traveling there so much to see and do its endless. Hahahehe on sand boarding...Great job it hard when winding blowing... Happy Thursday thank you Ryan for brighten up our day ❤😊😁😁🐰☕🍩🐾
Amen to being your own bestie. I love my ‘alone’ time. Yep, no journaling bs- finding myself. Been there done that🎉
Thanks Ryan for making these videos. I have been thinking about doing what you are doing for a long time now. So glad I found your channel!
You speak very clear english to listen and learn, thanks for your interesting movies
Omg this is where I live! In California! Not a fan of living in the desert and we’re moving soon, but it was cool to see you driving down the road that I drive down every day!
I love watching your videos in between homework assignments it’s a very nice to see some adventure while I’m stuck at home studying. I once read a short book called A Man’s Search for Meaning. If you have not read it you definitely should. It’s about a psychologist that had to live in a concentration camp during WW2 and he spent his time trying to find a reason to live. Very eye opening and a great short read.
Just started watching a couple of weeks ago. I enjoy your videos and look forward to your trip north. 🇨🇦
I watched one of the videos months ago and been hooked ever since. Absolutely love the videos Ryan. Keep it up dude! 🙏🏻
first time here, my advice for travel living is buy some rice, it will provide you with plenty of carbo with little of portion. a small rice cooker for easy cook without cooking with a pan.
its been a nice journey through the country so far. Thank you for sharing the ride!! cant wait for the next video!
Totally agree....you have to like yourself before you will ever be happy in anything you do.
Oh man what a beautiful message in this video. Loved it! God bless friend♡
Love snow boarding! I was a surfer for years so came easy to me. You need strong knees ankles and calf's to have full control over every movement. But waking it might get sand stuck and scratch the board. If it's tight sand not loose should be good.
Thank you Ryan, I'm able to watch your journeys and feel like I'm experiencing it too
Love traveling with you and watching you cook. It's very obvious to me that you like who you are ❤
To get rid of the flicker/black lines on your go pro footage, change SHUTTER from AUTO to double of your frame rate.
30 FPS : 1/60 shutter
60 FPS : 1/120 shutter
Also make sure that the anti flicker (in preferences -> general) is set to 60Hz.
Hope that helps!
