Hi Brent. Happy that you’re feeling better. Got rain and snow yesterday here in Sask. can go skating outside. Have a good day. Hi Dude. 😄👋🏻
I mid the prairie sun
No matter what you choose… you got some of us tagging along…sis n I need our dose of you your infections smile…and doggie… I vote … moustach moustache
Ha Ha ha. I didn’t know we were voting
👍😊🐕
You look good and maybe even a little younger with a mustache.
Thanks for sharing Brent continued prayers that you get to feeling better soon ✌️🙏👍
It’s def a process
Hey there Brent 😊! You’re doing great buddy just keep moving forward! I’ve been depressed on and off for my entire life I think. I’m service connected 100% disabled from the USAF service. I’m doing the best I can everyday that is all we can do ! But don’t make any crazy choices!,! Your the best buddy 😊
Appreciate it buddy!
So COLD here in SW Ohio! Had to sit in front of doors opening nd closing and finally thawing out at home.
Wow
You look younger with no mustache 😊
Glad you are feeling a little better than before. Like you it hasn't stopped raining for days here & a sunny day would be a nice break from what seems like a never ending circle of winter 🥶❄️
Thanks Annie, same yes. Some sun would be awesome
Peace and blessing Brent.🙏 Little Dude too!🐾
Hi Brent,I’ve been unplugged for a week so just catching up with videos. Hope you are feeling better soon. The cold could be affecting your copd. Be well….
Thanks Doreen, hugs n stuff
✌️❤️ and Granola to you Brent ❤ hope you feel better soon and God bless you always 🥰☺️🥰☺️🥰☺️🙏
Thanks Deb
Your very welcome 🥰
My 2¢... I like the mustache, even liked the goatee. After Covid and the flu, it takes a while to get back on your feet.Take it easy and take care of yourself, Brent. ❤
Especially it’s older folk
💓 .. your a champ Brent . I’m so sorry for all your health stuff going on. Earth is healing just remember to get the rest needed too. You’ time without that camera. Brent zen time. 😌 Perhaps give binaural beats a try when winding down. Much love to you and pup. Keep that head up ok.
📝 Do what you feel is right. Regarding your previous video If it’s stix and bricks go for it. Follow your intuition, you can always still take weekend adventures.
Praying for you. You’ll figure things out and your gonna be ok~❤
I’m so sorry to read this. We will talk. Now is not the time
Chillax ✌️🤗💚😎🚐🇨🇦❄️
Hi Brent and Dude!
Hi V
I found you Brent. Yea! Advice .........Go south young man, go south. The birds call it migration. Your friend, Louise
Love it Louise
Definitely younger w/o the mustache. I love watching the Dude. I watch you fighting this sickness. I had it a month plus, cough included. Found only Fishermen Wharf cough drops worked with only one puffer used for my COPD. Problem for me is that I could not take a break. My hubby is confined to a wheelchair. Read an article that there is an increased push of pneumonia. Depression and SAD is tough when you are not well. I wish the best. Keep your head up. Thankyou for the wonderful videos.
Thanks Linda
Brent!😊
Renée🙂↔️
Ha ! We got our heater going too! Same one ! Mind you I’m in a 32 foot trailer ! 😊
Does it heat it well?
Good morning from Roan Mtn Tn, still recovering from helene with 10 degree weather,Brrrr,stay safe an warm an give The Dude bunches of hugs an kisses❤
Hope you stay warm too, it's a crazy cold snap!
For a Vancouver Island boy 6° Celsius is cold, where in Winnipeg, that's T-shirt weather.😊
Right. Bunch a pussys out here
You gotta do what you gotta do.
And that’s what I’ll probably do
Take some rest Brent and feel better ✌️
That’s the plan
Hello Brent and friend🔥
Hi
My energy level and mood is especially low on a cloudy cold day! I take Vitamin D3 daily to help combat that since Dr. Google recommends it. Plus having a fur baby around also helps ❤ Take care of yourself, you have many supporters who care about you ❤❤
In just started d3 after being suggested by a dear friend. One day at a time
There is something to be said about this time of year...darker days, less sunshine, and the reflection that inevitably comes at this time of the year. I'm glad you are listening to your body. Learning when to rest is not giving in or giving up, it's the ultimate self-care. Looking forward to more adventures.
It’s all about perspective. And that my friend was awesome
Grand kids is something we've been waiting for...not looking good from our 4 lol jealous that you get to chat with yours
Looking forward to seeing your plans!
Never hold out hope , the most amazing blessing in our lives
23 degrees fahrenheit here!! Trying my hand at cooking! You and cheffie Jeffie are My inspirations!! Pet The Dude🎉 Get healthy and stay warm 😝
Perry’s bachelors surprise
@BrentsVanLife lol🫣
good to see ya again buddy. def see a doc or someone who can help you out. look forward to the next visit
Old men don’t see doctors lol
@@BrentsVanLife I just said that because everyone else said it... I don't know what a doctor is. thought it was maybe like my therapist AKA my bartender. lol.
@ 😂😝🤣
Sound a lot better! 😵💫🤒🤧🤧 listening to your body, good for you!
Thank you
I think shaving the moustache off will make you feel better! Love your twin sister! hahaha
I think so too! Love you
You are very good at replying!😊
Thanks! It’s my thing
You look very nice today Brent 🎉.
I feel good today
Is that moustache, keeping you Warmer? Hahahahahaha
More of a nuisance
Take vitamin D in winter
Just started
@ it will take a week or two to kick in, then makes you feel happy plus other good things, from my experience from another van dweller (1988 step van, rebuilt with new Chevy 350, etc) In Vancouver now then will go to the island eventually Been in this step van for 13 years, others before that. Retired, 66 years old. Worked as Cabinet maker in Alberta for long time, grew up in Comox Valley
@ hello Terry
Pleeeeeasssseee go seee Dr
Trust me, I have
Now, Bro, this coming summer you will be saying, “I wish I was somewhere cool.”
I usually don’t complain about heat
@ me either, it’s the cold that we, seasoned citizens, feel right to the bones.
@ especially this wet coast rain forest
@ Yep, same here in Missouri, we have a saying, “if the humidity don’t get yah, the humanity will.”
@ haha
I have the same problems when the time changes in November. I hate it! You do look better health wise. Go and fill your propane tank every 3 weeks during the winter and you will never run out. Just a public service announcement for those over 60.....lol. GTDAH
You are a wise man.
You can always do it part-time, once you save the money to do it.
Exactly … hello my friend
You look great 👍 with the mustache and without it 😊your eyes are gorgeous too so you look amazing all the time so does that cute little Dude 😊yes we can easily find a bouts of burnouts and sicknesses 😂I’m laughing because it’s so exactly what I always go through when the time goes back on hour shifts my brain 🧠 yikes 😳 not sure 🤔 but it’s the lack of light 💡 no sunshine 🌞 yeah 👍 it’s just that shift and the older one gets the more you need to recharge yourself 😊so it’s a lot more energy for you and I love you too much ❤I’m here for you Younger 60 years old me 62 years old 😂I totally understand ❤peace love and granolas 😊
Peace, love and granola, baby! 🙏
👍👍👍👍👍
❤
Thanks for taking us along! Hope you feel better! Love the "stache! Hope you stay on the road!
We’ll see what happens!
@BrentsVanLife whatever makes you happy!!
Not cold yet.
Hi Brent, I'm curious as to why you've opted to use all those smaller Gatorade bottles over one larger water bottle?
I just use them to gauge how much water I’m drinking
That’s funny. Several comments say you look younger without the stache. I say you look younger with it. Maybe at some point you can find a nice cheap little apartment over there and have a vehicle that’s equipped for over night trips. In the meantime, keep on keepin on 😬
❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍🏻🇺🇲
✌️🥰
Seasonal depression. A real thing. Believe it or not. ❤
Oh ya
Just take it slow and easy❤I went to go pick up some meds (alergy and thyriod) ran into some one i havent seen in a long time after 10 minutes of standing I was so dizzy and week had to sit in my car for awhile before I could drive home. Its just aweful! You think your better and then a smack down flu fairy just knock led me out again😂😂😂😂😂❤ at least a get a good da and bad days😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤hope your feeling better soon ❤how Wayne doing. Was it a stroke or heart attack?
I hear you on the ups and downs! It was Dave in hospital with a stroke

Thanks all ❤

@BrentsVanLife ?
Still seems to me still that you need more oxygen and a doctor! I Just Care. You always have trouble breathing, but I think you are making excuses about how bad you are now.
It’s been discussed with the Respitooogists. My o2 levels are ok. They say it should only be used as a last attempt, because t the long become reliant on it
Yeah we had a portable finger clip, when mom was still with us,( she liked to call them an alligator)that read your oxygen levels ...like at doc office...not sure how accurate but might be idea...meanwhile prayers😊
I love you Brent 🫂 I wish you could sno bird "so to speak" Chasing good weather dryer climates.. My dad had severe emphysema we moved around a lot but it was always obvious when we were in dryer climates like the desert he was much better.. ❤Its hopp'n down yonder Quartzsite Arizona❤p.s. Do whats best for you. Sticks and bricks aint so bad😊 You can still do meet ups short trips ect ect.. Im'a keep watching no matter what you do❤
I will def continue on the adventure
