    Attach vice grips to one side of bolt and remove seat alone.. if anyone was wondering how to do it alone. vice grips will turn then hopefully run into a wall and act as someone holding it

    My wife and I have been watching van wives for almost a year and really enjoyed the episodes where you joined them. So happy to see you are starting your own adventure. Your personality is infectious as someone else has said here. Your film style and narration is fantastic and we have subscribed and look forward to your series and watching your subscription count climb. If you ever need a helping hand on a weekend let me know and I would love to help a fellow Ontarian.

    Heck I'm 71 and I'm looking for a nice van. I had one back in the '60s, a Ford Econoline that just kept on going. I'm kind of partial to Ford because their quality is pretty high and there are so many Ford dealerships across the country. I'm thinking about buying a campground membership. Actually, this will be the fourth time in my life when I've totally picked up and hit the road. The northern US and southern Canada have some amazing little towns that are just beautiful.

    Hi Colin the photograph & print you created for Jaz & Crystal is stunning, romantic & really captures their beautiful relationship & love for each other. Im really looking forward to witnessing your build & I look forward to the films/stories you get to tell on your journeys. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Keep in touch with the Van wives. They have amazing skills & knowledge as Im sure you know & if they dont know something they know how to find someone who does. I dont think you can go wrong with those two behind you.

    I discovered your channel by a video by vanwives, since then I followed you due to their recommendation, and saying big things are coming for you. I have been following people living in vans or off the grid setups. I don't know why in my earliest 20s ('coz I'm 20 years old HAHAHA) I have been addicted watching this kind of lifestyle. Of all the channels I have subscribed, I have never been able to watch where they started. But now, with you and your channel, I am exhilarated to be part of your journey. Good luck, be right here watching videos and clicking like button.

    So the Vanwives sent me here, too. After a few minutes I already like this guy. And he's already a film maker. This is going to be fun. I follow, Tyler & Todd and Eamon & Bec, too. What is it with these Canadians? They are so much more interesting. If you want some van build ideas I recommend Humble Road. He's a very funny, very creative van builder who used to do photography and film making before he retired. He is definitely worth binging before you get too deep into your build. His motto is: there are no problems, only solutions. Having Andrew help you may be your second big decision. Having a pull-out drawer(s) for your garage is a great idea.
    On a separate topic would you talk about printing your pictures? How did you print that wonderful photo of Crystal &Jazz? I have taken some very nice pictures but I haven't printed them yet. I have a 17x11 printer but the ink dried out because I don't use it very often. Woodworking is my primary hobby. You may want to figure out how you can print your (and others' ?) pictures while traveling in your van.

    • @colinandpaige
      @colinandpaige  2 роки тому

      Thank-you for taking the time Blake! I'll be sure to check out humble road, thank-you for the suggestion! In terms of printing there are lots of options out there! In Canada there is a budget option called Blacks which is what I chose for Jaz and Crystal! Another great option would be a local speciality camera store, they often have high end printers! Cheers 😊

    For rusty bolt removal, try PB BLASTER. Spray a generous amount on the tread side of the bolt and let stand overnight. Spray again and wait a few hours..it should break free WITHOUT HEATING THE NUT.

      @@colinandpaige Well, if you really want to know. LOL! I was surprised to see the first scenes of you shot over seamless paper and nice lighting. I liked the intimacy. Your b-roll and cutting is great - keeps me engaged. I like your humor too - like the shot of you on the toilet, wiper blade. Your presence on camera is fun and playful. I appreciate your vulnerability about your new venture. It's relatable and honest. People are drawn to that. I'm nearing the end of my career and wanting to travel and shoot stills of my adventures. I've been lucky to afford international travel and some exotic places. Climbed Kilimanjaro, hiked the trail to Machu Picchu, shot a documentary that took me to Romania, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany...shot the sunrise at Auschwitz and so much more. Soon we'll be planning a trip to Patagonia and the Antarctic. My wife is a director/cinematographer. I'm ready to stop working so hard but she loves to direct and has 5 independent features under her belt, directing her sixth this summer. If you ever get to the Carolinas give us a shout. We'd love to meet you and take you and your partner to dinner and swap stories.

I hope that will come through and you can always write to me to be accountable if its not coming through. Wow your travels sound amazing, Patagonia is a dream.

    I love how there’s a community of UA-cam van lifers. And so many of you, all are friends, and cross post. Really inspiring to me, a baby boomer, to get out there and follow your lead. FYI, next time you need to get a seized up bolt out. Take either “liquid Wrench” or “WD40”, spray the dickens out of the bolt, leave the lubricant on the bolt for a day or two, and you’ll see how much easier it is to unscrew.
