A perfect example of why you should just "go with the flow"!! Enjoyed by Millionaire Paul 👌
You're absolutely right! You never know what's around the corner :)
Millionaire Paul here from facebook saying a first hello. Lovely channel. I’ve heard very good things about Rover from people. Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul 👋
Hey Paul, Welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying our channel :) Yep lot's of people do very well with Rover.
hi you guys, im loving your channel and im making my way through your videos, im loving the paint job and the colour of the van how much did it cost to do if you dont mind me asking???? cheers craig
Hey Craig! Thats amazing news, thanks so much :) The Raptor paint coat £2700 for everything, that included dent removal and rust treatment, all plastics and wheels painted in black Raptor, then the insides of all the doors and door shuts painted too :) We looked into various options and Raptor seemed the best middle ground :)
@@Thenomadpurr thats not to bad then as that seems a lot of work involved, does the paint hold and attract the dirt with it being textured at all???? and where abouts in the uk did you have it done??? and how long did it take from start to finish??? im sorry for all the questions im just really interested
Yep it was a full strip down, we actually found Shane via TH-cam who done it for us, he filmed the full procedure. th-cam.com/video/3OqSBUplq44/w-d-xo.html We've only washed the van a handful of times since having it painted which was a year and a half ago. Shane did it in Manchester and he had it for 3 weeks :)
Great tips guys and best of luck with your future adventures, Luke will you still be doing any fishing or have you decided to give that up?
Hey Wayne, Thanks so much! Il still be fishing, but after 5 years of being told where, when and how I need to fish, it’ll be very much on my terms going forwards :) pulling up for a day or 2 at a huge lake in Europe fishing from the van? Yes please ;)
Them crows are lovely I’m into witchcraft so I love crows I also like black cats But your cats lovey ❤️🐦⬛
Sounds like this is the place for you then! Aww thank you, if we had space for a second I’m sure it’d be a black Mainecoon to go with Taco :)
That was a great vlog guys, some interesting ideas we hadn’t thought of, amazed at how much Amy has tried! x
Thanks so much :) yea there’s so many different options isn’t there, and we barely scratched the surface in this video! Haha, Amys always trying something new!
Very interesting video, Its nice to know there are a number of different ways to flexible earn money while on the road.
We thought it would be a good idea to show just how many different ways you can make money on the road. This is just the tip of the iceberg too :) anyone can live this life if they want it enough :)
How much would it cost to edit and upload say between an 8 to 10 minute video you tube vlog?
Hey Ant, it depends hugely on the content. You could always pop us a message on Instagram and we could have a chat? :) - The Nomad Purr
@@Thenomadpurr I will do, haven’t got the camper yet but it’s for future reference 🙂
I’m going to start sitting on cats immediately
It’s highly recommended, they feel so soft on your legs 🥰
Remote working is great - whether you live in a van or not, as the flexibility is tremendous. Great tips here. Take care!
Hey Robert, you're right! It helps to create a far better Work/ Life balance doesn't it. I think we would be struggle to do 'normal' work again!
You excluded your side gig as a stripper leprechaun then Luke?
Not everyone can pull that off!
@Thenomadpurr didn't want to bring up the bit about you pulling things off too. Let's keep it professional
Do you still go fishing or not ????
Hey, yep I’m still fishing!
Great video and job ideas! We will definitely be adding these to our list! Thanks 😊
Tried and tested! Let us know what ones work for you :)
As long as you have a pair of white kinky boots and a pair of purple sequined hot pants and leather waistcoat you'll always be guaranteed work................Luke!!!!
It’s almost like you’ve seen me on a Saturday night, but hey, it pays the bills 😅
Glad you quit your job ,carpology is crap anyway 😅
5 and a half years is a long time in one position, time to get moving and explore the world! :)
@@Thenomadpurr5 and a half years ,didn't realise you were doing carpology that long, I spent 5 years traveling and have some amazing memories, love my fresh water fishing, im looking to buy a campervan now for a few summers traveling and fishing around England and probably a couple of trips to Holland, look forward to watching your traveling vlogs😊
@@briansilver6196yep, it’s been a long old time! I bet you do, that’s a good amount of time to be exploring isn’t it. We can’t wait to finally cross that channel and enjoy the van properly :) Ah you’ll love it, do you know what type you’ll be going for?
❤❤❤
Vanlife festival looks amazing. Can't believe we've never been! Are you guys going next year? Would love to see you there ❤
I'm sure we will be! Maybe we'll catch you there! :)
❤❤❤
Them cocktails look amazing 😍
They were a bit too good 😅
Absolutely brilliant...is that the extended Sprinter?
Thanks! It’s a long wheel base yep :)
Done this festival for the last 4 years and love it.Really hope Warners don't change it too much
It’s great isn’t it! Warners know it’s already a great festival, I’m sure they will keep it that way :)
The event looks very cool and massive. Love the videography.
Yayyy, thanks so much! I think you guys would really enjoy it if you went. If we’re around I’m sure we will go back next year :)
Looks like this was a great festival. You are right, "say yes to opportunities" - you never know where you will end up! Take care!
It was so much fun, even with having to work it! We’ll definitely be doing more of these weekends next year :) You too :)
Are you technically homeless or do you have a address can you get insurances without out one how does it work if your home is your van 👍🏻
Hey Andy, Technically, we're 'living with parent's'. I think there are ways you can get insurance without an address, but I know the majority of people use close family. Cheers!
Wow, some great ideas. We love the use of the post under the bed as a scratching post 😍
Taco loves it! Especially at night...
That looks pretty good there!
It could be a good one for next year? I can see you getting dressed up in full retro pigeon attire?
Great vlog guys, so awesome that making one connection has led you on to where you are today, doing what you really love, ❤
Thank youuu :) it’s funny how all these little steps you take can lead to something far greater isn’t it? We just can’t wait for the next six weeks to pass until we’re freeeeeee! Hope you guys are well :)
@@Thenomadpurr Brilliant is that all it is! Hopefully that’ll fly by, we’re all good thanks 😊 xx
It is indeed!!! I think it will, we have lots of prep to do ready for Europe which will keep us busy :) I'm glad! Looking forward to meeting up again soon :)
@@Thenomadpurr oh lovely, you setting off over there soon as you finished work? We’re off to Canada next week for a month. x
We are indeed! First week of October we’ll be getting the shuttle :) Canada will be incredible!!! Hope you guys have any amazing time 😍😍
Looks like a very refreshing pint of water 😋 I'm guessing the cocktail guys weren't at this one? 😜
Quenched is an understatement! Luckily not…. We were at Malvern this weekend however, and guess who pops up? We avoided them like the plague 😅
Wow! Great video guys, you've made me want to go to this festival next year 😍
We definitely recommend it! Who knows, we might even bump into each other next year ;)
Loved this festival!😍😍
It was amazing!! What was your favourite part?
@@Thenomadpurr definitely the food and the wall of death 🏍
The wall of death was crazy!!
Great meeting you at the Warner show with Darren.
Hey guys, great to meet you too!! Hope you’ve had a great weekend :)
Hey guys great video! Where did you get Taco? We are wondering as we are getting a Maine Coon soon and she comes from a large family up North. Could ours be related?!
dressed up like dexter 😂😂 looks like I missed a good one! great video as always 😀
It was a good one, next year man ;)
great video again guys ❤ the opening sequence is brilliant. You pair and your nachos!! 😂😂 The campsite looked great, I may have to visit! Cant wait to see these future videos 👌 I may bump into you in Europe 😉😂
Hahaha, gotta love the nachos ;) would definitely recommend the campsite, just be careful where you park! Oh man we’ll get a meet up sorted for sure!!
Your content is great, Good luck with the future endeavours, really inspirational to see such a wonderful couple trying to pursue their dreams. Wish i had the guts to go for it too. look forward to seeing you future adventures 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Heyyy, thanks so much for your comment! You can do it too for sure! You've just got to think... What's the worst that could happen?! Jump in and enjoy it ;)
Look what happens when I don’t attend an event. You drink far too much! You need someone responsible like me to be there
I’d hate to think if we’d even be alive today if you’d attended!
@@Thenomadpurr 😂😂😂
Was great meeting you both 😊 ❤
Hey guys, was great to meet you both too! P.s. don’t talk to Darran about his bbq ;)
Looked like an awesome show! Random question, how come both of your van headrests are removed but you’ve kept the other? Random thought of the video 😂
Definitely is a random one hahah! But there is reason ;) we removed the middle one so we could get through our hatch if needed, I can’t remember why we removed the drivers one… But we kept the passenger one as Tacos carrier attaches around it :)
Superb video. You really captured the vibe at the show and the awesomeness of Darran's BBQ.
Thanks Phil! Coal BBQ or not... It still went down VERY well!! I think Electric set up of the show has to go to yours! That rear panel is ridiculous!!!!
@@Thenomadpurr Thanks for the nice review of my van :)
Love your tour. I subscribed. I can't wait to see your cats home. Great job.i am a single female with a Persian whom I love. He has gotten out once but came back all bured up. He was a mess. But made it home. Scary I didn't even know he slipped out. Great job on the build.
Hey Donna! Thanks so much for subscribing :) if you have a look on our channel, there’s some videos all about Tacos area and how we introduced him to the van :) That sounds so scary!! I’m glad he’s back in safe hands! :)
Hey guys, loving the videography great work. It was great to catch up at the weekend. See you again soon.
Thanks so much! It was a great weekend wasn’t it, see you guys soon :)
Wait till Harry and Lauren’s video on this event oh my god
I’m not sure I want to see it after the Saturday night!!!
@@Thenomadpurr you two got so drunk most definitely Amy I was filming with Lauren but she doesn’t even remember that!
Such a great weekend, so good to see you guys 🙌🏼 Appreciate the shout out too 🥰
Such a good weekend, it’s a shame I think it was our last of the year! We never seem to make it to enough of them!!
I've got to say you all seem like a sound bunch
Hey Alan, thanks so much! Apart from being slightly odd 😅, we all just share a passion for living a little differently :) Thanks for commenting!
Be great to see more content going forward, another top lad to leave Carpology 😱 best of luck for the future 👌👌👍
Still got a while yet, so many more videos to get through! But honestly I can’t wait, 2.5 months in Europe then a crazy month long adventure early 2025… there will be content I can assure you ;)
@@Thenomadpurr Can't wait, you make it easy for me to plan vists to these towns, my very own guide lol 👍
Haha love it!
Good luck guys, So looking forward to seeing the adventures. See you soon. 👍
We can’t wait!! It’s the final push until bigger and better ;) great seeing you all this weekend :)
Good video guys, such a lovely place, thanks for a tour 👌👌👍
Arundel is lovely isn’t it! We never realised quite how much there was to do, until we made the video 🙊
Congratulations to you both on your engagement. What a way to celebrate.😊
Aww thank you so much, you’re too kind :)
