- Our Van Life journey has started, straight into the bus build process, which we know will probably take longer than the 6 months we planned for, but here goes!!!
Thank you so much to all our ongoing supporters and subscribers, we love that you are enjoying seeing our beautiful country, as much as we love sharing it. If you haven't subscribed and would like to follow our adventures, you can subscribe here: ua-cam.com/channels/lFH.html..
We're Gin & Ring (Brendan) a couple of Aussie adventurers and we’ve been on Rings Great Adventure since 2017 when we sold up and left our childhood town in search of adventure.
We live a minimalist life, choosing to collect memories and experiences over things. We care passionately about the environment and wildlife and like sharing our experiences, both good and bad, hoping to learn how we can better appreciate our planet whilst leaving little to no footprints.
Watching our channel you should see a fair share of highs and lows as we convert vans and buses, travel slowly and sustainably, try out some epic bucket list-worthy experiences all while connecting with friendly people along the way. Oh, and you’ll get to know our travel buddies, Taka & Roodi, who travel with us when they can!

It's been 5 years since we decided to make the change we deserved and give ourselves a work-life balance. It's not been easy but the rewards have far outweighed any hardships. This is our journey into a life of adventure. We hope you stick around and enjoy, what we hope, are inspiring accounts of our happiness. - Навчання та стиль

Here we go!!!=))
P.s. Ring's got so many times so close to "Cracking straight into it"😉😆
🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think it’s intentional at all, After spending time together in Adelaide we’ve definitely heard, “let’s crack straight into it!” more times than I can count 😅
Something I have learnt is that we say a lot of similar phrases, I’m not sure where they came from but it always makes us giggle hearing someone else talk similar to us. Must just be our Aussie lingo 🦘 Have you noticed that or is it just me?
I like the name “true blue” love it. Good-luck with the bus build can’t wait to see the final product. Stay safe :)
Thanks Ernest!! It's going to be a long bumpy road but its exciting at the same time. It's just so nice to have so much space in this bus after the little Chug Bug van 🤣
What exciting plans do you have for 2022?? Can't wait to hear all about them!!! 💙
@@GinandRing my plan for 2022 is to try and visit you both so I can try and stay in your bus haha. Maybe one day when its finished. Make sure there’s a spare room 😀
@@ErnestHojilla haha we have got some plans to make hanging out with friends a possibility! It’s going to come down to a few details that we haven’t confirmed yet but stay tuned 🤞🏻 something goes as planned in this rebuild 😅
Good name for the bus. Works on a couple different levels. Good info about fixing up old cars/busses etc. Will be interesting to see as the project progresses.
Thanks 👍 The name keeps growing on us, although I think in true Aussie style, it'll be shortened 🤣🤣🤣 She gets Blu a-lot 😂 We seem to be glutens for punishment, after all the renos we've done leading into this, we should hope this will be the last for quite a while 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Once we get past the body work phase it'll be so nice to share little projects, the body work just feels like one big drawn out project. But it's definitely coming alone
Heyo! Nice job you two
Hey mate!! Thanks! You know the drill hey, this body work phase has been an experience and a half, it’s exciting to think in a few weeks the bus will look like a completely new bus!!! How’s your van doing? You’d be feeling like a new man by this point right?
True blue!! What an epic name!! Btw I came into your channel to watch this and I absolutely love your new channel banner, so good!! Some great ideas coming from Brendan! So excited to see your adventures in this bus!😊❤
Thanks Millie 💙😎💙
Yeh it was time to freshen the banner up so we made it during our two week quarantine, just wanted something a bit newer, you know?!? It’s nice that someone noticed, so thank you 😘
After 4 house renovations, Brendan is full of great tips and tricks so hopefully these vids, from building the bus, can be of use for someone out there. We know we’ve learnt a lot watching these types of vids and you never know what will help until you know. Have you enjoyed doing the house? (Which by the way, I’ve been loving🖤)
Ahhh we have absolutely LOVED doing the house!! Still not finished...but getting there, can't wait for you to visit 😊😍❤
So exciting that you are getting started on fixing up the Van.
I love the name and the special meaning behind it xx
Thanks guys, it’s really special to us too! Having lost mates in the last 12 months has really made us want to speak openly about looking after ourselves and each other. It’s really lovely having a constant reminder, in something as simple as a bus name and we hope it resonates with other who’s paths we cross 💙 Are you guys up to anything exciting at the moment?
@@GinandRing Not just yet but hopefully in the next couple of months we can start on an adventure or two xx
@@EmmaJonYoureWelcome that sounds awesome!! It’s always nice to have something planned and to work towards! We’ve been so cooped up patiently doing as much at home as possible. We can’t wait to do a whole bunch of stuff we have planned that we’ve had sidelined while the latest surges of cases have unfolded in South Aus, exciting times ahead!!
Shitty Mac shit shit is now my favourite word lol. I am excited watching this as my son and I are going to have to Reno an old van as we are the povo family lol
Trust old Ring to give you a new phrase or two 🤣🤣 I purposely leave those bits in when editing as I just love how unique his language is! Very excited to have you on board for the journey!! And that we can bounce off one another during the rebuild process. How far away are you from getting started???
And trust me there’s nothing ‘povo’ about up-cycling an older van! They have spirit and character and leave you with more 💰 to do the adventurous stuff!!!!!
What type of van are you looking for?
@@GinandRing we need an expander type my son is huge lol tall I mean. We are looking at paramount extenders or Windsor rapids I’m going to look at one today hopefully fits the bill could be fun fixing it up you guys are inspiring me
@@Wildernessadventuresoz Thats awesome, its so great to hear we've inspired someone!!!! By no means is it easy but you just need to have a plan and keep putting one foot in front of the other! We talked about buying one complete, but the latest surge in vans prices pushed the price into what we deem, unreasonable, mainly because even buying prebuilt, we needed to change a number of things in every van we came to. So eventually it just made more sense to do it ourselves. Even then it was a super tough market, people buying sight unseen, pricing kept getting jacked up and ultimately it came down, once again, to someone we now, having a bus we could work with.
When things settle down a little, we were thinking about doing a meet up in Adelaide... would you guys come if we made a picnic date?
@@GinandRing we would absolutely love that Tobi would love Brendan too
@@Wildernessadventuresoz they would get along like a house on fire for sure 💙💙💙💙 Let’s hope things settle and we can make it happen at some point 🥰
Cool,.learn some new stuffs
We really hope there’s so helpful tips in there for you ☺️ have you considered doing a van/bus build yourselves?
