Every time I watch one if these videos I end up fixing or improving something around my house. So far I've fixed a gate, a sink, made some new tool storage, and ran a new air line in my garage. You're a good influence.
I think a major takeaway from this movie, actually a lot of Van's movies, is that surrounding ourselves with other spirited and inspiring people is an important part of advancing one's life in a proper direction. Very excited to get to know about Claudia and I hope Shelly makes more appearances.
I watch these videos. Fully engaged as he fixes a air hose. A task I have done countless times. I get fully lost in the cadence of his voice, the cinematic shots. Fully involved in these little tasks and then he turns the corner so masterfully bringing it all together. I doubt I worded that properly but he is a genius
he reminds of Mark Cousins a little bit, he has a way of storytelling his clips/movies/documentaries that it's soooo relaxing to me, I can't even explain it
Only channel I instantly click on when a video pops up, thank you for a different out look on life, let’s me take a step back every now and then and get a good picture of or a better one atleast
After I watch Van's videos, it always takes me a few minutes to reconnect to reality. Not many videos on TH-cam get me to stop and think about what I just experienced. Each time, man. What a talented man.
You're fucking kidding me. How is this such a perfect TH-cam channel and video and yet the first time I've seen anything like this. You spirited man....you've inspired me in the most mindblowing way.
Cheers to Shelly and to setting the right standards. Side note...at 2:18...I have that exact same parts drawer unit. It belonged to my favorite Spirited Man, my Dad, years ago in his workshop. He's gone from this world way too soon and set the standard for so much of what my life has become. Excellent film Van. Thank you.
This Spirited Man thinks these videos are next level ASMR. They calm the soul, inspire and delivery some useful guidance in our busy world. Thanks Van.
Watching your videos puts a smile on my face. Leaves me feeling mildly refreshed and upbeat. And sometimes talking... In a manner similar to your own... 😁
This channel is going to blow up. This is all gold. I struggle every day to not copy your style. It's so simple, straightforward, and elegant. Keep up the good work. You deserve every new subscriber you get.
Van, I think you've transmitted this emotion artfully. I felt tears of joy when you said Shelly is the type of man you want to be. What a reward to be Shelly and watch this video. This entire channel is a master-stroke. Well done sir. Keep making things for us, we need it.
The story telling! There isnt anything like it left on TH-cam. Just when we are left with over grown children with too much money and less than honorable intentions. When gossip channels are the standards of moral compass...and Casey Neistat leaves the field to raise his children and have a life. One man , a spirited man rises from the ashes, to show what real creativity looks like. How shorts can look a complete movie in a few moments. Leaving people like me, wishing for more. Inspired. Truly inspired.
Nicely put. It takes quite a bit of sifting through the crap on the platform to find the gems. Fortunately, I discovered Casey Neistat about 7 years ago and watched his vlog religiously every day. Now that he has moved on to a new chapter, I am in a very happy place having his older brother Van take the reins. Him and Tom Sachs are among the few channels I watch these days.
It is incredible how much inspiration I get from your video just by looking up and digging deeper into all this little pieces of information you share! Thank you!
Man, these Neistat Brothers do have a gift. Little by little, same passion is arising as the one that was born when I first started watching Casey.... Hope you contact me when traveling through HONDURAS.
„Well, well, well … my goodness!“ True and deeply felt admiration from the spirited man, that sees quality made tools as the only way to become a free soul. Swissmade = can‘t go wrong with these …
You have the best videos on TH-cam. I rarely ever comment on anything. Your work compelled me to write a thank you. You are inspiring. Thank you for sharing your creations.
You said something in this video that was quite nice and made my eyes swell a bit. "He doesn't need these tools, he has them because well he's a spirited man". My wife wonders aloud why I have and collect tools. Now I have a very simple answer. Thank you.
One of the only reasons I enjoy TH-cam is that sometimes I find people like you and Casey, the real visionaries of today! People that you wish you could chat with over coffee or lunch and get more of their perspective on life! Such a great series Van!! Keep going, please and thank you! Mike
What a gorgeous story that was. Pacing, flawless; journey, winding; multiple plot points, all pointing towards the conclusion, all without seeming to do so until you "wrapped it up"; a courageous and heartfelt hero, accompanied by the humble storyteller; and (a detail that I appreciated greatly after I pondered for a minute) some time to think about it and look forward to the next video to finish it off. Bravo
Van, I just want to say thank you for producing this content. The world is a better place with your creativity, inspiration, and unseen efforts that go into making this.
In your videos every second has meaning and purpose. It was a pleasant surprise for me to skip 30 seconds, and realize I have to start from the beginning.
Spirited Man Sweatshirts: spiritedman.com
Cool
I ordered mine on the 23rd and still haven't heard anything! So stoked though!
Can you sell the stickers and patches
Do some spirited man workwear, like real spirited workwear
This Spirited Man is waiting for the T-Shirt.
Van, You are setting the standard for a lot of people.
So you can say Shelly does
Why? You don’t know anything about him . Don’t idolize people
@@davidm5790 Waiting to chastise Nathan, after you have caught Nathan with a statue of Van, might be more appropriate. That is only my OPINION.
A really really high standard
He sure is.
I’m pleasantly surprised to see the quiet cadence of these videos be so entertaining
I agree. It is a nice difference from the seemingly loud, fast and attention grabbing nature of online content these days
Fantastic story telling. Spirited story telling.
Yep. Van has it dialed in.
Excellent observation and very true. These videos tell a story in a way many don’t have the patience for these days.
@Alaska Pirates wow, and your critique is valid because why? I checked your videos and they are shit. Mine are worse but yours are still shit.
Every time I watch one if these videos I end up fixing or improving something around my house. So far I've fixed a gate, a sink, made some new tool storage, and ran a new air line in my garage.
You're a good influence.
the problem is I want a motorcycle now so it's a double edged influence lol.
@@souslesbombesa motorcycle AND a classic Toyota truck!
I think a major takeaway from this movie, actually a lot of Van's movies, is that surrounding ourselves with other spirited and inspiring people is an important part of advancing one's life in a proper direction. Very excited to get to know about Claudia and I hope Shelly makes more appearances.
Never ever have I considered purchasing the so-called "merch" of any TH-camr, etc. This Spirited Man would wear a Spirited Man T-Shirt proudly.
@@idontwantoneify Best to prepare.
That makes two of us - and most likely more
Same! Ordered mine!!
I'll take the set of Swiss screw drivers
How this guy keeps cranking out quality content every week is beyond me.
A deep well.
He's a Neistat. Neistat's are legendary content makers.
I think I remember hearing doesn't watch TH-cam. I bet that helps. Always making instead of consuming.
This is what I call, "A Story within a Story." Well done.
Yeah! He's so good at weaving plotlines into one another...all the videos end up being connected.
Favorite TH-cam channel currently
Ayyy same
Me too 😲
same
same. favorite ever actually. It has eclipsed any others from the first video.
simply can't get enough
I watch these videos. Fully engaged as he fixes a air hose. A task I have done countless times. I get fully lost in the cadence of his voice, the cinematic shots.

The tools carried in to Shelly's is like some kind of religious procession to the shrine of the air compressor.
Only a true artist can make the mundane, beautiful.
Each and everyone one of these videos is just that. Beautiful.
Only channel I instantly click on when a video pops up, thank you for a different out look on life, let’s me take a step back every now and then and get a good picture of or a better one atleast
"Claudia is Shelly's wife, and the love of his life."
Mr Van is making me have peace, finally, with my functioning obsessive compulsive quality. Thanks!
What a lovely dedication for declaring who has set the standard.
I'm a simple man. I see spirited man post a video, I click
I love these videos. They make me happy and give me hope for humanity.
Makes me want to create my own too.
ha ha! I thought I was the only one who "tricked" FCP10 like that!!! My trick shot is a sunset from 2014. I never tire of seeing it.
Wow. I'm pleased as hell to see you here, but also not terribly surprised.
I dominate because of The Lawn Care Nut!! Love Ya!!
The spirited man of lawn care, right here folks. keepin my lawn green since '16.
WHY AM I CRYING can’t take this, too much beauty
Every video is pure beauty
That Werner Herzog pic is the best humblebrag I've seen in a while lmao
A tool box as art
This impractical tool “box” brings a smile to my face
After I watch Van's videos, it always takes me a few minutes to reconnect to reality. Not many videos on TH-cam get me to stop and think about what I just experienced. Each time, man. What a talented man.
You're fucking kidding me. How is this such a perfect TH-cam channel and video and yet the first time I've seen anything like this. You spirited man....you've inspired me in the most mindblowing way.
Shelly reminds me of my grandfather, who set the standard for me. I lost him November 2012. Keep making these beautiful videos
Daaaang ! "Shelly, is the standard" loved it man...
How long until Van surpasses Casey in views? Pure genius brother.
Frankly who cares. It's about quality not quantity.
1 year
I’d bet that he never will. Casey has 10 years of time up his sleeve (that is hard to beat) and Van’s work is much less main stream/TH-cam than Casey.
@@ArmchairExplainers xactly
Van and Casey appeal to different viewership.
That Lil Red Express is a piece of art itself.
For sure !
I don’t care about how to fix an air compressor hose but I watch this video anyway because Van makes it interesting no matter what it’s about!
You bring clarity to the obscure, in an entertaining and relaxing way.
The story telling is outside of this world! such a hidden gem this channel
Cheers to Shelly and to setting the right standards. Side note...at 2:18...I have that exact same parts drawer unit. It belonged to my favorite Spirited Man, my Dad, years ago in his workshop. He's gone from this world way too soon and set the standard for so much of what my life has become. Excellent film Van. Thank you.
Every video is like reading a profound book that changed your life in some positive way or fashion.
It’s absolutely remarkable.
This Spirited Man thinks these videos are next level ASMR. They calm the soul, inspire and delivery some useful guidance in our busy world. Thanks Van.
Watching your videos puts a smile on my face. Leaves me feeling mildly refreshed and upbeat. And sometimes talking... In a manner similar to your own... 😁
Elevating quality of TH-cam one video at a time.
What a beautiful story. I imagine Shelly will be deeply touched by the sentiment.
These are the only TH-cam videos I watch uninterrupted, beginning to end. Thanks Van.
shelly is a badass and will always be a badass because he's rollin in the lil red express
The little red express!!! That was my dream truck when I was a teenager
This channel is going to blow up. This is all gold. I struggle every day to not copy your style. It's so simple, straightforward, and elegant. Keep up the good work. You deserve every new subscriber you get.

Breath of fresh air on this platform. Really glad I was recommended this channel.
Van, you and the people who you show in your films are an inspiration.
Please, do not ever stop sharing your story. Thanks for this one. I always walk away with something to work on.
And this is a tribute. Well played.
I watch all your videos more than once. I really appreciate your work. Thanks Van
Your videos calms me
Terrific edit. I really enjoyed the rhythm of the storyline. It feels like a timeless work of art.
That red truck... I need one! But in Sweden were I live they are extremly rare.
It’s so great to see how you admire the way Shelly treats his wife. It’s indeed an admirable trait.
Van: I've been watching your stuff for a few months now. This one is some of your best work. Kudos.
The story telling!
There isnt anything like it left on TH-cam.

Inspired. Truly inspired.
You couldn't have explained it any better for ppl like us

“Well well well myyy goodness,” delightful! 👍🧡💚
Sometimes when I watch the videos you make I get really emotional. Thank you for instilling emotion.
This is becoming my favourite channel. I think it's important. I think it's special.
Greetings from South Africa, Van.🤗
It is incredible how much inspiration I get from your video just by looking up and digging deeper into all this little pieces of information you share! Thank you!
These are always charming. No need for the fancy cameras and editing, the story does the talking. Love it.
The Shelly standard, i love it
"with work" - I appreciate your humility Van
1:48 Funny. I built a model of the Lil Red Express Truck when I was a kid.
Beautifully told, shot, and lived. Thank you.
You are an incredible storyteller. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Man, these Neistat Brothers do have a gift. Little by little, same passion is arising as the one that was born when I first started watching Casey.... Hope you contact me when traveling through HONDURAS.
These quiet Spirited Man videos are just so complete.
This video made me cry. Why?...Talent brother, talent. Thanks!
Amazingly simple, yet brilliant story telling....
1:48 my dad had one of those trucks when i was kid, i remember climbing on the back.
Van is the kind of TH-camr I turn off Ad Blocker for
„Well, well, well … my goodness!“
True and deeply felt admiration from the spirited man, that sees quality made tools as the only way to become a free soul. Swissmade = can‘t go wrong with these …
This channel is about to become an all-time favorite of mine. Time for storytelling, Time for Slowtube. Love it.
Bravo on another great one. I even sat there through the black screen of silence until the very end...waiting like an encore.
What an artist. Every video is hypnotic.
You have the best videos on TH-cam. I rarely ever comment on anything. Your work compelled me to write a thank you. You are inspiring. Thank you for sharing your creations.

5:30 “You know why?” I really thought he was gonna say “because he is a spirited dog.”
I like that this Spirited Man is also an Inspiring Man. Thank you.
something about that music struck a chord with me. loved this one.
Man, watching these videos are pure joy.
Great story, flow and delivery. Very refreshing to watch through one of your videos.
I love your love for the organization of a workshop. It's always impressive to see it all in place still.
One of the only reasons I enjoy TH-cam is that sometimes I find people like you and Casey, the real visionaries of today! People that you wish you could chat with over coffee or lunch and get more of their perspective on life! Such a great series Van!! Keep going, please and thank you! Mike
Superb storytelling. New way of filmmaking. Thank you
Excellent episode. I enjoyed the way you tied these stories together. 👍
These videos bring me such peace.
the amazing multiple uses of the universal clamp...... love it.
Every time I’m like “I wonder when Van will post another video?”, BOOM, a new video alert 🙌🏽🌝📺
Van, you and Casey have just inspired a whole new generation of creators, artists, thinkers and visionaries. So grateful to be a part of this journey!
Van, you are a true artist. Thank you
I knew Van was cool, but didn’t realize he was direct-Ed-Ruscha kinda cool. I’m pretty sure my jaw hit the floor. What an amazing short film.
What a gorgeous story that was. Pacing, flawless; journey, winding; multiple plot points, all pointing towards the conclusion, all without seeming to do so until you "wrapped it up"; a courageous and heartfelt hero, accompanied by the humble storyteller; and (a detail that I appreciated greatly after I pondered for a minute) some time to think about it and look forward to the next video to finish it off.

This one made me cry. Thanks Van 🥰🥰
nice to see Van smile
Van - you did it again. Pure artistry in video form. Especially liked the end.
Van,
I just want to say thank you for producing this content. The world is a better place with your creativity, inspiration, and unseen efforts that go into making this.
Another beaut video Van, thanks from your supporters in Australia.
In your videos every second has meaning and purpose. It was a pleasant surprise for me to skip 30 seconds, and realize I have to start from the beginning.
I love these films. I can’t stop watching. Thank you again.
This was a story about gratitude and it made me a little emotional.
I watch these videos because they give me hope and a standard of storytelling that I aspire to.
