Hey thanks for stopping in.
My life philosophy is simple: Life is an adventure, life wants you to .. befree.
Since Feb. 2017 I've been living in a self built van. The vanlife, is a catalyst for the many topics I'm inspired by: health, fitness, personal growth, art, nature, dogs (animals), travel and more.
If you like my videos, please like and subscribe to stay updated.
Thanks and I'll see you on the next video.
Cheers - befree.

@@adamant8501 awesome! Thank you! Cheers!
i dont know why but i found you very easy to lsiten to. i find you very engaging. i plan on getting a low roof ford econoline and im 53 but the low roof bothers me but i am constrained so this is the best i can get so i am here ebcause im looking for tips on how to just deal with it i do more cooking than you though
Thanks heaps .. I don’t show much cooking because I don’t want to scare people with my recipes 😂 I can cook with a crock pot, and a single burner hot plate, I have a cordless blender and popcorn machine to. The fridge/freezer combo from ICECO helps a lot .. I’ll try to include more food in the future if you think it would help … cheers.
I know yall be having a ball lol 3:33 ❤😂
Truuuu dat! Cheers!
Thoroughly enjoyed that episode ! The addition of a attractive co-host as really taken it to another level ! Right on old friend, live your best life.
Thanks brother from another mother. The adventure unfolds daily in interesting ways. My recent motto is: Sleep deep - Dream far...Stay free.
I like that fucking motto 😂

Hahahaha .. glad you caught that… cheers!
I like how you made it look like a work van in the back
@@supazsa thanks… a work in progress for sure!
I saw your comment asking about the meet unfortunately it's November 1-3. There will be other meets though. This is just the beginning. Subscribed to your channel buddy.
Thanks dude .. bummer to miss out, but excited you guys will be having a great time .. cheers till the next one!
@@befree4223 You're getting a lift and true track locker right now?
@@JohnDrivesAnything yeah .. dropped off the van at Weldtec this morning for the lift, next Monday the van goes to another place for the locker .. the locker is not known, the rear end has no markings, they have to find out the number of splines first, so I'll know more then, .
@@befree4223 Hope you have the 35 spline for more options! I got the OX locker
@@JohnDrivesAnything seeet! I’ve heard the Ox is good… I’m with you on the 35 splines .. it thinks it is, but will know soon
California looks wonderful T meister ! I really enjoyed my time in the desert country around Lone Pine and the Panamint Mountains. Take care.
Thanks … looking forward to you 3 coming down! Cheers!
Where are the bloopers pal!? Hahahaha
The next bloop is in the middle of the vid … enjoy!🤣
Cash should be king, but it's fading fast. Meanwhile, the armed men have all been demasculinized by the phytoestrogens in their beer. SMH
Photos … yeah gotta love the photos .. 😂
That one curtain pocket looks as if it would hold a miniature doberman pincsher perfectly. Just saying.
It does! .. we’re just keeping a secret .. for security purposes.
Great video. The van is looking fantastic. All you need now is a plant. It’s great to see that you have company and you finally added a blooper. We just need more. Happy trails my son. Hahahaha
Thanks! Just making the world a better place .. one van adventure at a time. Hahahhaaha
@@befree4223hahahaha
I’m the first one. Hahaha! 💥💥💥
You win!
What a MAGNIFICENT building job! Just fantastic work.
Thanks .. more just done to the build .. coming in a few days
I believe that when inserting that wire, instead of just pushing it in, it might help to give it a twist in the same direction as the wire's fibers thus avoiding that fraying.
Let's face it... this was the way people lived, before "Civilization" was invented 15,000 years ago.
Could you let us know the cost....?
Every low roof van anyone lives in needs a feature I call "the dome of sanity": A plexiglass hemisphere on the roof that allows a person to stand up straight in one spot of the van.
Yeah .. a nice sunroof that opens would be sweet.. I looked into that, but with the storage and solar panels, I had to choose the path I have now. Cheers!
Looks like they know their stuff....
Yeah .. they answered all my questions without stuttering 😂😅
Cooking slow and steady wins the race. Good job! 👨🍳
Yes, yes, double yes 😂
Very cool dude. The Starlink is cool too. Hahahaha 🤜💥🤛
@@B12DeficiencyUncovered I shave to please hahahaha
The wind gusts with a high roof can be brutal! Probably less fighting with the steering with a low roof will make your travels a bit easier.
True .. it does play it’s part .. I now have a storage container and barely notice it .. Cheers!
Hey Bud, Careful about getting your head to close to that thing. It outputs 12ghz I believe :-) Also, is the 50GB mini limited to only 50GB? Any ideas how to get unlimited with it?
Thanks .. I always sit away from it because of the high output .. I believe you can get unlimited data, though I went with the 50gigs as I don’t spend much time online. I believe it is $1 a gig after the limit .. this first month is a test really …This way I can upload from more or less anywhere. Cheers!
@@befree4223 Awesome... I'd love one of those little things!!
@@steveandnaz it’s very cool .. and you can pause the service at any time as well.
@@steveandnaz hey … hearing anything about the new mpox fear dance?
A real man shaves with an Arkansas Toothpick...and also has a large supply of tissues and antiseptic to mop up.
Hahahaha .. yes the old straight razor is a gem! Cheers!
Hahahahaha
Well, for a couple of extra bucks you could have had them install a flux capacitor but nooo, now you're stuck in the present like the rest of us.
@@timmytwodogs it was an option .. however the timing was off 😂
@@befree4223
Bobby is blowing the hot air out of his office and into the workers' garage. Hahahaha Glad you had a great experience. Did they make you pay for the engine and the installation? I wouldn't say I like it when they charge for their parts and services after establishing a great rapport with them. Damn it! Leaving the house must have been an emotional experience. It's somewhat a sad ending to this chapter, but there's excitement for the new chapter ahead. 👍
@@B12DeficiencyUncovered I was never actually in the house .. been living in the van even when looking after my dad .. just now there’s no reason to stay in the area.
Houw much power did you use for iver night?
@@HaroldJackson I’ve run the fridge/freezer all night, with the fan .. only down 5% .. it was not super hot out, but the freezer was full. The fan was set at 10% power/speed .. so I was happy with those results as the sun will top off the Bluetti in the day easily
Wow! I haven't seen the blue Eddie with so many 12 volt outlets! That's awesome 😮
There are the panels going in, then the power out to the fuse panel. The fridge and fan are run through the fuse panel. I plug my computer directly into Bluetti when it needs charging. And one usb reading light is also plugged into the Bluetti
Those jump boxes are super cool and handy.
@@ssurran3975 absolutely .. now I have one as well 😂
Seems an intense few weeks ~ sending comforting Light
You are correct, there's a sneaky mental stress, an emotional one and even a pesky physical one. They all have their part in draining your day. That said, I'm out the other side and things are looking bright again. And balanced to. Cheers
Thanks for the update man! I enjoyed the video. I just wish it had been longer. Keep the updates coming!👊
No worries .. the next vid is the second half .. however, technical things are at play, should have it out in a couple days if things work out as planned. Cheers!
Hey Taelin, I am sorry to hear of your Father's passing.
Thanks buddy, it was not a surprise ... and he wanted to leave .. All is well. Cheers!
I was having fun until the fireworks...I ran and hid in the closet...with the dog . Great vid T meister ! That's the first time I've ever seen your dad.
Thanks .. it was a fun time for sure... Cheers!
That was awesome!!!
Thanks .. wish everyone could have been there .. we had lots of fun! Cheers!
WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THEY MUST ADD A FEW HUNDRED LBS IN WOOD? every lb counts
May your Dad receive the best care possible. Sending gentleness to all your family.
Thanks .. it is clear that his journey here is coming to a close .. probably in a few weeks or less. We'll see. He is waiting to leave, so there is that. Cheers and have an awesome July 4Th!
Hey another video please …
Just sayin’
@@arlenelynette3235 yes, yes, hahahaha, my dad had a stroke a year ago, and I'm keeping an eye on him, slightly draining on my creativity unfortunately .. but one is coming I promise .. PS thanks for asking Cheers!
Nice unexpected seatbelt hack. The door chime can be distracting at times.
Yeah .. those pesky chimes .. Cheers!
It was belief that saved Tinker Bell.
Right you are, right you are ... cheers!
It's a struggle to not let the naysayers scare me into inaction.
That is true .. the naysayers are panzies .. your intuition is king .. trust it .. believe! And of course have great snacks to : Cheers!
Thanks Taelin.
My pleasure buddy! Cheers!
I developed anxiety. I haven’t been adventuring since which caused depression. I want to get back out there. I had a van similar to yours. Thanks for the message. I’m buying a new to me rv on Monday! Baby steps I guess.
That's awesome! And congrats on your new wheels. One thing I've learned about depression, is how the brain works .. depression is natural, it gets a bad wrap, it is natures way of letting go of things that no longer serve us .. the brain - neural connections are releasing a part of the past, it bores you, and your personality is no-longer interested in it. You've outgrown it. You experience a "Depression" because the neurons have released the connection. HOWEVER, if more than one group of neurons do it at the same time ... it is a blow to your reality. Nature normally doesn't do a bunch at once... so if that happens, it just means you've really let go of a bunch of the past .. the way forward is new dreams and goals - new experiences to replace the old ones. New brain connections .. this is simplified .. but that's the skinny as I understand it .. You'll do fantastic - Cheers!
Do you recall the times when having a full head of hair was all the rage for men, and after submerging your head underwater, you'd emerge and shake your head to fling the water from your hair, much like animals do with their fur? I still do that! Alas, like you, I am bereft of hair! I had hoped you would partake in the ritual. What a letdown! 😆
Hahahaha .. sadly I have not done the shake your head maneuver in quite some time .. submerge yes .. shake no .. that said, I do enjoy NOT hair slapping my face with all the hair until I cry .. so there is that .. hahahaha ..Cheers!
Then maybe it’s coming from my eyebrows, and the SMH routine is legitimate. 🤔
@@docsibo6197 true .. so very true .. I suspect a movie could be made about the subject Hahahahha
Good hanging out with ya Mr. Free
Thanks..the pleasure is mine .. Cheers!
That leaning tree just needed a good hug and it would have straightened up itself...so I've been told.
This one slouched quite a bit, from the tougher side of town no doubt. Cheers!
Wood stove? Why when you can have a diesel heater
Good question .. 3 reasons: 1- I had a small budget at the time, 2 - Didn't want to go with a cheap knock-off, because the built quality is inconsistent. 3 - Happen to like the dry wood heat and the areas I hang out in the winter, the wood smoke is not a problem .. Bonus reason: I like it. Hope that helps .. Cheers.
