Love the chapters format.So much thought and planning has clearly gone into this; your production values rock and your viewers feel respected. In turn, we have nothing but respect for you. Can’t wait to see what you’re up to next week.
I JUST LOVE THE WAY CRYSTAL LOOKS IN THIS PICTURE HER HAIR IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER LOL!!! I LOVE THESE TWO THEY ARE SO GREAT!!!! JAZI LOOKS AMAZING ALSO
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.
George thank-you so much to this, I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement. I'm really excited for this adventure and your support here means a lot. I hope to see you next week 💛
Hi from Ontario. You’re going to do great. Your film making skills are already exceptional. Can’t wait to follow your journey from the beginning. I also subscribe to fellow Canadians the Vanwives, Tyler and Todd and Eamon and Bec.
Hi Sarah. You're absolutely right. I'm grateful to be able to take this leap, and knowing that I have the opportunity is exactly why now is the right time. See you next week!
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. Best wishes from the UK
Came here straight after watching Jaz and Crystal’s video… your cinematography skills from their Sedona video made me come back for more! Excited to follow along on the van build!
Elena thankyou so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch. It's a bit different when you have to shoot video of yourself, but I'm trying my best! 😇💛
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.
Thank-you so much for spending your time with me! Really appreciate this comment and I'm happy you're here in this journey as well. Maybe you're pulled by the idea of exploring and LIVING, maybe it's calling you!!
The fact it's silver makes a change. Lot of work ahead clearing it out. Hope you can pass on the lift so someone gets use out of it. Don't forget to clean, treat and seal the underside and cavities, easier to do it know. Good luck 👍
Hey there from Seattle! Leah, Rem, & Kara(the dog) the dog here👋 we are vacation vanlifers! You can find us traveling up & down all of the west coast of the U.S. we have a communal van our family all timeshares essentially. You are going to love this lifestyle it’s one of our favorite ways to see this beautiful planet. Good luck with the van build! See ya down the road!✌️❤️🌞
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.
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 😊
Hello from Ontario!! Cant wait to follow along. I watch the van wives, Tyler and Todd, Eamon and Beck… all the people! Youre going to do so well, I can already tell!
Julia, thankyou for the kind words. Means a lot. I've never vlogged before so it was an interesting experience, but I know all of those mentioned personally who have encouraged me to do so. Thankyou for spending the time with me today.
Your personality is infectious! I follow Vanwives and now following you! So excited to you kick off your van build / van life journey!! Love from San Francisco Ca 😃❤️
Welcome Collin, can't wait to see what you get into.. I enjoyed your visit with the #Vanwives ... Good luck on your UA-cam voyage. Off to a good start. 👍
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.
So glad you are here. Loved your video, Can't wait to see more. You have such great talents. Your gift to the Vanwives was amazing...made me cry like a baby. I agree with printing photos, it feels more real. Keep up the great work!
Everyone is in over their head when they embrace HUGE change--no one knows how to do it so we just jump in! Looking forward to following your van build
Oh I’m so glad to see you get started on your van life Colin. I really enjoyed watching you and the girls (Crystal and Jazz) when they picked you up in Sedona. Let’s roll!
Morning Allison! Thankyou for spending the time today. Its a funny thing life eh? I hope you find some clarity with time. It's taken me over 5 years to even start a channel after always wanting to be a creator. It takes time, but eventually that picture becomes more clear. Best of luck to you! ✌
Hi from Belgium. Really nice pic from the Vanwives! I don’t know if it has been mentioned by someone else but Max (from Max and Occy) did a whole series on his van build. Maybe you can found some pointers there. Good luck on this New Adventure!
I'm starting my van build too, I'll be following you , wise man once said, " if you are doing something you love to do, you never work one day in your life".
Awesome video. Can you buy PB Blaster up there? Best nut lubricant they make for getting rusted/seized nuts free. BTW, awesome gift. You are now on my preferred viewing list for UA-cam. Can't wait to see the next episode.
Some people mislead you with wrong advices through your life, but this, is the right choice and we all know it. Wish you nothing but the best on this journey. ¡Pura Vida!
@@colinandpaige Some Van Lifers get tired of Van Life because it becomes meaningless, you are on the right track, it is not just living on a van but a tool (oh yeah TOOL!!) to live your life. Documentaries, definitely a hell yeah BABBY!!
Colin,I hooked!! I follow Van Wives too. You're going to be GREAT! Looking forward to your adventures! I recently returned to my love of photography! I am taking your advice in printing my photos!! Stay well and safe in you journey! If ever in Tucson, please stop an say hello!
Yay!!! A new "van life" UA-camr! I can already tell that I'm going to LOVE your style of story telling. I can't wait to see where adventure takes you. Congratulations from Texas!
Colin I am so excited for this channel! I have been waiting for this ever since I saw you on the vanwives channel! I can’t wait to see the adventures you go on! Good luck with build and I can wait for the next episode! Be well!
It's gonna be a while, but it will be worth it! I think next video I will break down the layout more to give you an idea if how it will be. Thanks for being here 💛
Congratulations on starting your new journey. I know you say that you haven't vlogged before but your experience in other avenues is already coming through and it looks great. There is an ease that presents itself that made me as a watcher be instantly engaged. Thank you Colin
@@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.
@@heididovefretless8242 Wow thankyou so much Heidi. I really appreciate that. My hope is to have a depth and vulnerability to these stories and with time share more about some deeper topics. 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 wish you the best as you attempt to slow down. I love the carolinas and would be happy to take you up on that offer if and when we pass through. I hope to see and hear from you next video 💛
I love all the connections. You have the Vanwives come and check out the van, you have someone you met through Eamon and Bec deliver the van and I see Tal and Mads have comments. So cool
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.
Hello from sunny Florida, Colin! So happy you've decided to follow your dream. I've been following the Van Wives for quite some time and was really impressed with you when you were on their channel. You have a passion and zest for life that is infectious. I look forward to seeing where your adventures take you and thank you for allowing me/us to travel along side you. You've got this!!!!
Congrats Colin from Sunny Florida - Found your from the Lovely Van Wives ladies this morning and immediately came here to wish you congrats and Luck ! I remember you from your sojourn with them before and really liked your energy, so happy to see you doing your own thing...Only advice, just keep being "you", you will do Great 😃
Hi Colin I found your channel through The vanwives and I’m so glad I did. I can already tell your going to be great. You are a natural. I wish you so much success.
You're a great video storyteller, so while I've watched many van build series over the last... almost a decade... I look forward to watching yours as well.
Major!! Thanks for taking the time to watch, I really appreciate it. I've never "vlogged" before so it was an interesting experience hahah. I hope you are doing well 💛
ive helped build out 4 vans and by far the worst of them was the one passenger van that needed all the seats ripped out! deconstructing is soo much harder thank building, but you’ve got this!! excited to watch your journey!
Our favourite storyteller 💛 Happy you’re sharing your journey- you inspire us so much!!! See you out there friend
Thankyou for your continued support and friendship. Couldn't do it without you!
Love the chapters format.So much thought and planning has clearly gone into this; your production values rock and your viewers feel respected. In turn, we have nothing but respect for you. Can’t wait to see what you’re up to next week.

Thanks for introducing us to Colin’s van build / UA-cam channel! ❤
Oh, boy. Not another one…
We are READY for this 💛
GUYS! Thank-you! Me too! I'm coming out east this summer, I hope we can hang!!

I JUST LOVE THE WAY CRYSTAL LOOKS IN THIS PICTURE HER HAIR IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER LOL!!! I LOVE THESE TWO THEY ARE SO GREAT!!!! JAZI LOOKS AMAZING ALSO
My favorite picture!
@@colinandpaige I love a few of them
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
Love that! Thanks for the idea David!
Wow Colin!!! We are speechless. So pumped for your journey! You are a total mastermind. See you on the road ☺️
Thanks Ladies! It was an interesting experience never have vlogged before 😂 But it was really fun! Hope we cross paths soon!

Scary is good, reminds us we're alive. Once your van is done you're going to have a wonderful and privileged life.
Hi Sarah. You're absolutely right. I'm grateful to be able to take this leap, and knowing that I have the opportunity is exactly why now is the right time. See you next week!
PULL OUT DRAWERS are the best option, so glad you will have that luxury too.
AWESOME VIDEO!! Can’t wait to follow your journey
Thanks Craig, glad you're here! ✌️

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.
@@heididovefretless8242 Wow thankyou so much Heidi. I really appreciate that. My hope is to have a depth and vulnerability to these stories and with time share more about some deeper topics. 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 wish you the best as you attempt to slow down. I love the carolinas and would be happy to take you up on that offer if and when we pass through. I hope to see and hear from you next video 💛
Super!! Can’t wait to check our your build and all your adventures!
Thanks so much Stacey ❤️
I love all the connections. You have the Vanwives come and check out the van, you have someone you met through Eamon and Bec deliver the van and I see Tal and Mads have comments. So cool
It's all about community over competition. We're all better together ☺️
YAY! I'm so excited you decided to go on this journey! Good luck and I'm living for all you're about to show us! Much love
Kole. Thanks so much for spending the time to tune in, I appreciate it. I'm glad you're here ✌️
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.
Community over competition! We are all better together 💛
@@colinandpaige Amen! Please read my edited post, for some useful help
