- For the past two years, I have explored the far reaches of the Western states in my custom camper van that me and my friends built from the ground up. With each new adventure, I uncover new ideas to implement and further improve our build, and today we are focused on increasing work productivity!
🙌MASSIVE thanks to MY PATRONS that make the production of these videos possible 🙌

Seth's Video with MORE van upgrades: • Before UA-cam, I inst...
Singletrack Sampler Shirts: bit.ly/STSMerchandise
Last year when I was back on the east coast, we embarked on a massive renovation that would increase the overall livability of the van, and I have absolutely LOVED having these upgrades throughout last year.
Now, I’m back on the east coast again, and I’ve been hanging out working with my buddy Seth. He’s recently converted his three car garage into a massive productivity workspace complete with bike mechanic corner, woodworking area, video production studio, and even a lounge area and break room! Let me tell you, this place is DIALED, and working here over the past couple months has gotten me thinking about how I can improve my workspace and productivity in in the van.

When traveling I edit on my laptop and it literally adds hours. To have all that timeline and tool space-we should have done that two years ago!
Hey Seth I commented this a couple weeks ago but I don't if you saw it. You should try reviewing oval chain rings. Supposedly it makes it easier to climb hills.
love your vids Seth and Alex
that assurance from seth on the possibility of installing that monitor...
Anders Bell Oval chainrings are kinda bs, watch Dylan Johnson’s video on it
Seth review a quiet Kat electronic mtn bike
Steve Aoki's long lost twin has upgraded his whip
Possibly the best comment I’ve ever seen
😂😂😂
Ikr the best
savage
@@boonap5041 hahaha thank u😂😂😂
The short-haired guy should install stereos for a living
You made me laugh
Lmao expect an r/whoosh at some point in the comments.
LOL he actually used to do that
@Sverre Siljan Tharaldsen 😂😂😂 good catch!
ByP4ss r/whoosh
i dont have cars in my garage.. I got a garage inside my car
This don’t make sense
car can’t become a camping
I’m glad Alex is making vids again, great story telling. Also, Seth = Genius
I'm hoping we get more videos sooner since his production quality is gonna b higher
Next van upgrade could be a custom PC that can both endure the rigors of the road and play new games Alex!
Yooo I'm surprised i found you here baron! Two of my fav youtubers are fans
Now what??? Baron do you like mountain biking
I've got plan for a 500W DCDC sfx power supply :)
BaronVonGames mabey the MacBook cheese grader
@@britishcolumbiamtb5947 would cost more than the van
Man you guys crushed it on this!!
The editing of installing the screen while seth went over the plan was awesome! Van is sick bro
I feel like whenever Seth is with Alex he slams something into a garbage bin
Cough cough key west cough cough
@@blueberry847 He threw Alex's tire in the bin
@@karlnurm7437 Real ones know.
seth is honestly such an amazing friend
If he was my friend i wouldn't know what problems are
Yes
Alex: "I want a 5k monitor."
Seth: "I want to put a piece of wood behind a piece of wood"
True engineering
Seth and Alex when there hanging out together working or riding always makes me so happy for some reason they just seem like amazing and fun people and always gets a smile or laugh from me
My new favorite quote of 2020 is "residual residue"
I once thought that you were the same person as skills with Phil
wtf
Yeah, me too
Me too!
Yeah me too
matt m me too
We ALL need a Seth in our lives. He's so bloody awesome.
For heat dissipation it's important to house LED strips within a small aluminium extrusion. This helps for heat dissipation, increases LED lamp life and avoids peeling of the tape. It's also more safe! I'm leaning on my 10yrs in lighting consultancy to engineers and architects here 😁 Love the van though!
Seth needs to start a new channel called "Seth's Van Hacks."
Lol
So... With the new monitor boosting productivity, does this mean more Singletrack Sampler videos more frequently from now on?
We did it bois! We got on trending!
So excited that Steve Aoki is rocking the vanlife
Vanception - You filmed this video installing a monitor that you then used to edit the footage.
4:53 That’s the same thing Seth did to throw away Alex’s old tire on the Key West bikepacking trip!
When you are driving, it would be very beneficial to keep the monitor fastened to the wall. If the arm its swung out, tha moniot is going to apply a very large torque on the wall due to the long lever arm and large rotational inertia. This could mean the monitor ripping out of the wall. If the moniotr is fastened to the wall, it will apply no torque since its on the axis of rotation. The only thing you will have to worry about is the screws being able to hold the weight of the monitor.
He didn't explain it but I'm pretty sure that's the purpose of those blue spongy things at 12:12. If they fill in the gaps it would wedge the monitor between the desk and the cabinet just with friction.
i will second this , i have 4 monitors on amazon basics monitor arms mounted to a plywood wall in my van and ive had to bungie them against the wall when i drive. I use screw eyes and bungies
I would have another thin bit of plywood to put over the front of the monitor when it's against the wall to create another fake wall and keep the monitor secret, and not have to look at it all the time when not in use
i love that seth isn’t fake you know like he’s a real legit friend that is down to help you with almost everything and that’s something that really judges a friendship at the end of the day so kudos to him
Your van might have 2 recall on it . A shifter cable is one of the recall parts. Also on your air filter housing you might want to check for rust on the screw retaining holes, the screws can get weak and can snap off, grease them
Man, i feel really privileged having the planned for 40'' tv i'm staring at in my van! That monitor looks really sharp. Good job guys!
when you place your laptop in the sleeve like that, you should ensure that the underside hinge is exposed. having your laptop closed in an insulating space like that is not good for it without proper airflow will cause them to overheat and be slow
THIS so much!
Don't worry, it's a mac, it was built without airflow in mind.
But yes keep it cool
same goes for the leds. leds dont come that bright without putting off some seriouis heat
@@Keegater how do you give leds no airflow tho
@@aaronallgrunn7845 It was absolutely, 100% not built with airflow in mind. Perhaps the worst cooling laptop you can buy
So where exactly does one get a friend like Seth... Seriously insane. Give that man all the awards
Other Van Life youtubers: “this is my awesome van, check it out!”
Seth and Alex: “Hold our beers”
Seriously though, that new DC power system and 5k monitor are both epic upgrades.
I love that edit where seth is screwing in the wall and he just goes zip zip zip zip!
same
This van build was the craziest thing i watched a year and half ago. Precision to the level of infinity.
My uncle made essentially the same exact thing from scratch himself. He absolutely loves it! Travels across the country rock climbing. Just gives you the freedom to do whatever you want, when you want. I would love to build one my self!
I hope you've got a good alarm system in there too!
Velcro a picture over the monitor when it's against the wall.
person: I wonder what is in Alex's fridge...
Alex's fridge: *BeeR*
nice beer as well
Not just beer, Three Floyd's
I've been catching up on your videos the last few days. Your van is an impressive build. Very productive friendly and functional. Yet simple and to the point. I've yet to actually watch any of your other videos as the van build has kept me thoroughly entertained. Great job! 5 stars!!
Everyone needs a friend like Seth!
lol just watched the seth vid
[deleted] same lol
Same
Same
got Seth vid, Phil vid, this vid, it's a big day
Same
You and Seth rly do be vibing😎
Alex: "This is a new addition to the van"
*pans over towards the dog*
Drama: "huh?"
*addition.
I was thinking the same thing lol.
@@EmyrDerfel shit.. okay well it was nice knowing you guys. Time to go commit sudoku
rip
I have to say that Seth chose a lot of good friends. Everyone he is associated with is down right Awesome and Fun!
4:52 Key West tire flashback.
Dude, you have one of the nicest and most functional UA-camr van conversions out there. Congrats!
This van is the culmination of the best that UA-cam offers. You have a group of buddies that are also UA-camrs, but they are also craftsmen. The collaborations are so good because we get to watch them create awesome things.
Just great to see you smiling and excited again excited to see where you go from here
Staying at a friend's huge ass house from a van must feel like you're at some HQ.
I love the feelgood mood I get from watching all your vids Alex. Keep it up!
I'm so impressed with the bright LED lights 😁
I'm in love with Seth 😍
Sweet upgrades! Stoked for you, Alex!
Loving these regular uploads Alex! keep the good work up dude.
yo alex i haven't watched you for ages now and seeing you in seths vids brought me back to the channel and boy has the quality of your vids gone up keep up the good work
so much fun to watch. And great new ideas for a van build. Keep it coming
Dora is the BOMB!! I absolutely LOVE your van and the renovations have been stellar!! I love watching your videos!!! Thank you for the best videos, and amazing content!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!
When I saw drama I almost cried
My least favorite kind of residue is "residual".
Well done guys!! Keep up the great videos.
i am so glad i found Seth's and yours channel. the content you both put out never dissapoints no matter what the video is about and you both have really great positivity
This is what I watch to get me through quarantine
Mom: son, why are you going everywhere during quarantine?
Son: I'm still at home! 😃 💫
When Seth slammed those cables into the garbage bin, it was like when rod from hot rod tried to dunk the trash😂
Hot rod is my fav comedy
I Can Safely Say That Your Van Conversion Is Absolutly The Best!😍 Better Than Any Other Van Conversion Ive Seen. I Watch Alot Of Vanlife And I Am Honestly Impressed! Keep Up The Upgrades Until We See An Ultimate Level Of Vanlife!
Can't give this enough likes! Thats awesome man! You're lucky to have a friend like Seth! Your video editing has come a long way from bikepacking and it keeps getting better. Best wishes to you!
Your an amazing UA-camr buddy!
Yo Alex I’am so stoked for you. You are higher on the trending than Seth , congrats man 😁
I wish I had Seth's practical skills and ability to problem solve. He always comes off as a really cool guy ready to help his friends. Congrats on the van upgrades!
Upgrades like these make me excited.
Funny. You spend time in Seth's amazing garage and your take away is I need a TV ? He has a a super garage and your van is also amazing.
The van is soo decked now! Its amazing to see how far you come! Do you ever miss Sheila? 😂
It was comforting to know that Drama was there supervising the job. Well done
Love the upgrades and how the van build has come along! The new stereo looks pretty sweet as well. 👍👍👍
I have a question:
How do you avoid buying unecesary thing?
Sorry for my bad spelling
Living in a space where more "stuff" directly makes life really difficult probably helps
you’re pretty good, your only “bad spelling” is a missing ‘s’ in things.
I edit my UA-cam videos on my phone
@@gamerbreadbaker I really have to refresh my whole brain and read stuff than just playing at home
@@deepsouthmtb2531 same mate, i use YouCut, what about u?
Nice set up, but I want the shirt, broken not buried.
Your camper's layout is brilliant. Great job man.
This was an AWESOME upgrade. Great work guys!
Great video just watched seth’s video and then straight to here 🙌
13:30 'I'll pee there and there, oh and over there too!'
I always get a smile to my face when I’m watching your videos
We all need a ‘Seth’ in our lives. 👍👏🏻❤️
Yes Alex. Was really excited for this video after hearing about it on Seths new video
when ur driving u should totally put ur sub count on the monitor
It would be behind him and sideways. Pointless.
Waste of electricity
walter
Live sub counts don’t work anymore
That's a pretty slick set up! Good job guys!!
Your vlogs are so fun and easy to watch. You don’t have to skip much at all. Good job!
him: uses 5k
me: laughs in 720p
Lol
Same
lol i have 8k and 1440p
@@enochkim8231 that's it? I got 16K and 2160p dawg, time for an upgrade homie😅
@@pawelwityk1963 They can't even get stuff to run in true 4k yet anything above is just a gimmick at the moment 😂
Bro Alex, Phil, and Seth in 1 day I love this
I love Seths attitude too everything very inspiring!
You are just adding positive energy to my day dude!
It is amazing how much having a workspace that doesn't work for you can kill your motivation.
For a guy that lives in a van, you've got the healthiest hair I've ever seen, Alex!
Glad you’re back!
I aspire to have your positivity and Seth's wisdom! It ain't easy, but I'm working on it!
When you thought the "Jesus take the wheel" meme is just a joke.
Jesus: Hold my beer!
You should really get a wireless mouse that you can store somewhere, I'm pretty sure it would really upgrade your editing experience.
I Would recommend any Logitech Mx Master, extremely good for productivity and very high quality wireless mouse! :)
He's got a wireless mnk already. Probably not a gaming mnk but he's half way there
@@AckeEdits Corsair, Razor or MSI make alot better quality stuff than Logitech. Logitech is the cheaper brand in the pc world would recommend any of those 3 before the one you suggested.
@@budman8926 I work in a tech store so I have quite a lot of knowledge when it comes to this, razor and corsair do make a lot of high quality gaming peripherals but Logitech have been developing their wireless products way longer then most others high end brands. This paired with the MX Master being one of the most popular multifunction mouses out there (great for productivity such as editing, programming etc. Hope this clear things up :D
@@budman8926 I agree with Acke on this one. As the owner of a Logitech G Pro wireless I can tell you that they are not the cheapest or worst. I would recommend the MX master for productivity, its the ideal mouse for video editing.
Been watching Seth's video for weeks, and discovered your channel today. This particular video did it for me. Subscribed to your channel and Seth's. You guys are awesome.
I bought a 4K last year and it's so awesome. Great editing and storytelling in this one! The improved workspace definitely helps!
Seeing drama @1:22 man I’m sure we all miss him
Man I’m earlier then I white family to the airport.
Try beating Asian family next time 🤣
Oh my it was too satisfying when that monitor fit. Good job!
I wish I had Seth as a friend. He can literally build and fix everything!
second?
UA-cam telling me 1 view 5 comments and 7 likes?...
That one viewer was busy ^^
So, obviously the video is bad ass..... But I think the coolest thing is how good of friends you are and how Seth is what seems to be more then happy to help you out. Very cool !!!!!! Well done !
That was amazing and the most creative! I have now found a solution for my custom tailgater thanks to you guys. Cheers to the Craftsman and the Dreamer of this fine vessel.
