It's relieving to see a dude who has his heart on his sleeve and is so at ease in these wild times. Your videos are great relaxation and insight into the basics of humanity, thanks for them. Keep it up! Jirka, Czechia
I wish everyone could be as accepting and kind as you, Ryan. You dont seem to see the differences in people that make others hate. It’s sad and insane, but seeing really good people like you in action gives me hope for the future. Thanks, Ryan, and good luck❤
Dude - we come for the van ventures, but stay for your kindness. I don't comment much, but to see examples of kindness and acceptance like yours is a ray of sunshine in a world as cloudy as today's. Thanks!
For being in New York, van street looks really clean and looks like the locals really appreciated a safe place to dwell. Probably safer than most places… God bless you all and good video Ryan 👍👍
Nice to enjoy a morning coffee outside. Minus the bugs. Great travels as always showing parts of New York that some may never experience. Van alley hopefully means safety also in the city. Your energy to explore and treat all you meet with dignity is amazing.
I stealth camped for a week on the west side of Manhattan last month (October) for the New York Comicon. Unlike Van Alley, on the regular streets one has to move your vehicle every few days because they send street cleaning machines through accompanied by teams of parking ticket people. Interesting to see all the people moving their cars out and back as that parade goes through. I had actually planned to visit Van Alley also, since I had seen videos of it previously, but never made it over there. I had a great time, except my e-Bike got a flat tire and so I tried the blue Citi Bike system, but that only allows you to use a bike for 30-minutes or they charge extra (even if there are no open working bike spaces at your destination). But I had fun traveling around the city. It turns out that one can get into the American Natural History Museum for free in the final hour it is open. After that I crossed over to Central Park and I came across a live music vigil or remembrance gathering for John Lennon at the Strawberry Fields section of the park. Leaving in New York traffic was awful, I could have gotten out and walked faster.
This has been one of my favorite videos of yours. It was really cool to see a businessman in business attire, fly fishing. Actually, it made me both happy and sad. Happy because he was able to escape and do something he loves, yet sad because his friends and coworkers are most likely very different then most fly anglers. That's a lonely place to be.
Hey Ryan! Back commenting again. Inspired, as always, by your kindness and would love to help you pay it forward. Donated £100 and would love to see it given out to someone like Akin (sorry if I misspelt his name) on your travels. Big love fam x
What an awesome heart you have Ryan. You are so kind. These people don't have a placxe to live and someone reaching out to them is so awesome. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your videos. God Bless you and Stay in touch.
Seneca Village was a 19th-century settlement of mostly African American landowners in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, within what would become present-day Central Park
I’ve never been to New York City so it was fun to see it through your eyes. Thanks for a different take on the city than I usually see in videos, movies, etc.
THAT GUY YOU MET HAS BEEN IN THE COUNTRY LESS THAN A YEAR AND MAKING IT AT ALL COSTS. MUCH RESPECT FOR HIM AND RYAN YOU WERE AS ALWAYS KIND TO A STRANGER, RESPECT THAT AS WELL. IT'S EASY TO TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT WE LIVE IN A PRETTY AWESOME COUNTRY SEEING THAT GUY IS A GOOD REMINDER.
Our country isn't that great. I feel like if it was then people would be able to afford a decent home instead of living on the street. That awesome guy is making it work in this cold world!
This was literally my favorite episode by far. Especially since i live in nyc, and to see the goodness in you really makes your channel even more enjoyable to watch, thanks
NYC is my town and it’s good to see you around in it. 😍😍 And not for nothing, YOU are a LOVELY young man. Making and sharing that steak was so sweet. Your kindness and generosity is beautiful and we need a million more people just like you in this world. 😍😍😍⭐️❤️❤️
You're amazing, that's why people love you and follow you, been enjoying the ride all along ,awesome life experience for you that you are sharing with us , cheers 🍻
Man you got to incorporate some more doggo content when you're with the pups. they're awesome. Would love to see you adopt a doggo for when you go on the road.
The guy that build a small box into a home is probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Dude even had a little window and a chair posted it up outside of it. God bless him👏🏾
Did you even watch the video or just comment straight away? Van alley being a popular spot to for sleeping in a vehicle and not a stealth spot was literally the first thing he mentioned after he parked.
u did nyc, u have got to do philly....have a cheese steak or a hoagie, a hoagie can be a meal for a day depending on what meats are used.....being a transplant from philly to harris co texas, i miss the east coast....
If you keep rolling the star link cable up like that with all the twists in it it will eventually fail, look up how to roll up extension lead electrician, it’s not easier but it definitely extends the life of the cable !
Just happen to stumble upon your video. You're in my city as well as in my playground in the beautiful Catskills mountains. I'm living my dream through you living in a van and looking forward to binge watching all your videos and future ones. Subscribed!
I’ve given you this idea before, but just as a reminder I would absolutely love to see you take one or both of the dogs on a road trip. Even if it was a short one long one whatever just seeing you and how you adapt to having your dogs along with you I would love to see it. Either way I will continue watching keep up the great work
This was one of my favorite videos of yours, I don’t mean that in a bad way because I enjoy all of them. I really like the urban exploring part of van life so this video was fun. It was super awesome how you met that guy, it sounds like he’s got a great story. I’m sure you had a good conversation. Safe travels
Your true caring side of your personality shines so bright in this video cooking for someone you just met!!! I applaud you so loudly !! Thanks for sharing !! ❤❤❤
At the beginning of your video I was thinking how kind your are by showing us out-of-towners what the sights are in America and I get a bit further in and you kindly shared your dinner with a stranger after cooking it and everything. You are a great guy Ryan. XX and thank you for recording your weekly videos.
You're destroying your starlink cable winding it that way. When you spool it over your arm it twists the cable inside the sleeve and kinks it over time, making it far more likely that it will break or short. Not only that, it leads to a far higher likelihood of knots and tangles, as I see you're finding out.
Just a thought, come to Ga, do the coke factory and aquarium in Atlanta. Then Stone Mountain. Drive to Gulf Shores and then to Panama City Beach, then to Disney. 🎉🎉🎉
Did you ever do a video in Chicago Ryan? Been watching for a while, and I don't think I recall video in Chicago. Would be cool to see a stealth night camping video in Downtown!
Wow I’m originally from NY but my family moved to New Haven and I lived there for 30 yrs yeah their brick oven Pizza is really good PePe’s and the one on State st is really good too
D van alley must b a safe parking spot. D guy has a barbecue grill outside n some hang out sofas n nobody seems to b stealing them or vandalizing. There must b a community spirit in that alley where they look out for each other. Much respect to these dwellers for keeping d area clean n safe
As soon as I saw “Stealth camping in New York City”, I immediately thought of this particular dead-end no though road and of all those Stealth camping TH-camrs who have already Stealth camped here. And I always think to Myself how stealthy is it really to park in an established community of Van dwellers and who do you think your really fooling? I am hoping that one day I will see a Stealth camping TH-camr park somewhere else in New York City, even if they don’t enjoy the best nights sleep. Anyway it was great to see the new park alongside Van Alley.
When you talked about the beginnings of Central Park, seems like you shouldve mentioned the marginalized groups that were forced out of their homes to make way for it.
Ryan, you are a nice young fellow, don't park that beautiful van in New York streets. I am life long, born and raised in NY and my family each has had their cars vandalized, stolen and towed illegally numerous times. There is no one in NY local government that is not a criminal, I promise you this. Times Square is nice, I used to go there. Flushing Meadows Park is really beautiful, if you ever come back to NY (park in a garage) and see it. Bronx Botanical Gardens is also beautiful. Best of luck for safe happy travels.
NYC is one of the big reasons i want a van, i want to live there for at least a month. Im vary much a nature guy but NYC is the only city I really want to experience
❤❤❤❤ I've always considered talking to the homeless people a lot more interesting than someone that's rich and snobby. I love the humanity. But you find when you help them. You're so appreciative and it makes you feel good too. I'm a retired nurse and I'm a Viviana RV trailer and 2020 September 2020. I love this small downsizing. Just the convenience of everything within reach, I can even do a smaller charter than I have now Monday, I was 20 and I think I really think it's too big. If I was younger than 66 years old. I would have gotta ban as well.

I never saw your videos before, just found this one while watching late night, It's so cool t hat you live in a van! I owned a Dodge custom van back in the 80's.

That was too wholesome. Enough to make a grown man shed a tear
Agreed! Everyone should be this way with their neighbor 😢

A True gentleman.
So nice to see you interact with your neighbour, and sharing good food! 👍 this restored his faith in humanity 🙏

So true, I really enjoy him. I've been watching for a little while now, and he brings me joy when I'm sad
Bet you are are a flaming liberal that sanitizes your hands every time you touch people who “look” different than you.
I agree, Ryan is the best. Currently, I'm unhoused and am looking for a temporary place to stay. Maybe you could help me out?
Agreed
It's called being on the spectrum
Dude - we come for the van ventures, but stay for your kindness. I don't comment much, but to see examples of kindness and acceptance like yours is a ray of sunshine in a world as cloudy as today's. Thanks!

Why are you getting all sad over assumptions? You know nothing about that man’s life. Lol
Thank you for being the kind thoughtful person you are Ryan. It’s a shame not to know more people like you.

Seneca Village was a 19th-century settlement of mostly African American landowners in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, within what would become present-day Central Park

And if it was the truth, not only that but also brought a 4k dollar scooter plus built his own lil house.

just a small town
People who have full time jobs yet have to sleep on the street is just ridiculous, get it together America.
I subscribed just because of this video of you being so nice to that man and sharing a steak with him. The world needs more people like you.
my heart lit up when u offered to make that steak for the carpenter.
Ive always wondered why more people dont make themselves a small home like that. Akeem was so proud of his home too. So cool.
You Ryan are a keeper! Thank you for being so kind.
You're amazing, that's why people love you and follow you, been enjoying the ride all along ,awesome life experience for you that you are sharing with us , cheers 🍻
Your such a sweet careing guy .Need more people like you in this world . Great Videos ..

NYC is amazing, so much diverse culture, love it! Any type of food you want, you can def find.
New Zealand?
You're a good guy, Ryan. Thanks for the tour.
Man you got to incorporate some more doggo content when you're with the pups. they're awesome. Would love to see you adopt a doggo for when you go on the road.
You're the man!! You cooking a steak 🥩 for the great person you met
Welcome to my town! 🤣 We did a stealth camp adventure about a month ago, NYC to Miami. loved every minute including the trials and tribulations.
you are one cool cat, cool how you help people, thanks for your vids they rock
That was a neat quick tour of NY. You were so nice to share your dinner. Take care. Stay safe. See ya next time
This has become my favorite video. That guy is amazing! Ryan, you are so unique, kind, and loving.
The guy that build a small box into a home is probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Dude even had a little window and a chair posted it up outside of it. God bless him👏🏾
I've seen several videos of stealth campers/van lifers who park in that location when in NYC. It's not really stealth as it's well known.
Did you even watch the video or just comment straight away?
Van alley being a popular spot to for sleeping in a vehicle and not a stealth spot was literally the first thing he mentioned after he parked.
Yo this video was dope being in from New York it’s awesome to see people live freely this way and they work had on top of it amazing
I highly, highly recommend you learn about Seneca Village, the mostly African American settlement that was destroyed so Central Park could be made.
Ryan, you are quickly becoming my favorite TH-camr to watch. I really enjoy how you make friends with people everywhere you go!
u did nyc, u have got to do philly....have a cheese steak or a hoagie, a hoagie can be a meal for a day depending on what meats are used.....being a transplant from philly to harris co texas, i miss the east coast....
Dude Akeem’s set up is sick man genius wow
KILLER VIDEO! THANK YOU AND HAPPY TRAILS FROM SEATTLE.🎉🎉🎉🎉
If you keep rolling the star link cable up like that with all the twists in it it will eventually fail, look up how to roll up extension lead electrician, it’s not easier but it definitely extends the life of the cable !
Thank you for sharing your journey, New York is always interesting. Safe travels to you✌️😊
So nice of you to cook for Akim, dinner with company for a change, love your videos!

Fleece lined sweats to put on when getting up, toasty.
Did you ever do a video in Chicago Ryan? Been watching for a while, and I don't think I recall video in Chicago.
Would be cool to see a stealth night camping video in Downtown!
That’s nice making them a nice steak. Wow and I must tell you. This is a very good video. I’m really enjoying it. I appreciate your effort.
I would have never thought you would end up in Williamsburg Brooklyn lol. Welcome to NYC. You picked a great weekend to enjoy the views.
Ha I take my kids to that park in the summer. Had no idea of van alley! Great location
Dude do more videos like this! So cool bro
That was a solid 15 rock skips. I get elated over 8-9. Congrats bro🎉🎉🎉🎉
They demolished Seneca Village to create central park
Thats the poor mans Pizza called.. Margerita..just tomato and chesse..😂
Wow I’m originally from NY but my family moved to New Haven and I lived there for 30 yrs yeah their brick oven Pizza is really good PePe’s and the one on State st is really good too
Love your vids Ryan, truly looks epic waking up in beautiful new places or where ever it is you may end up!
Dude, glad I found this channel. Binge watching from my little farm in the Andes Mountains.
👍 Wow Production / Editing . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 🇺🇸🤛

Absolutely loved it!
I love he has a super high end Hexclad fry pan which costs around $100. See it @ 15:45 in his grill.
Best video in a long time. You are awesome
Check out Daytona Beach Florida or maybe St Augustine!
Great video as usual man, excited for the next adventure.
Hey I started watching your videos about two months ago and I’ve loved all of them! Keep up the great videos!
Hakeem is living his dream in NYC. Ryan is living the ultimate van life. We all have dreams to chase. Go for it!!!
Hi Ryan. Welcome to NY. I’m just wondering if you’ve ever considered have a dog with you on your adventures?
When you talked about the beginnings of Central Park, seems like you shouldve mentioned the marginalized groups that were forced out of their homes to make way for it.
The minute you parked in my neighborhood I knew you would meet some very cool Williamsburg people.
My boy Ryan always with the best content on TH-cam the 🐐 himself Ryan have blessed Monday ❤️🙏 enjoy your Monday fam keep up amazing work ❤
Well done Sir!👏 NEW SUBSCRIBER ❤
As someone who lives in NY, Akeem is the perfect embodiment of our spirit. Also, that guy who parked behind you, gave you a lot of space.
Ryan, you are a nice young fellow, don't park that beautiful van in New York streets. I am life long, born and raised in NY and my family each has had their cars vandalized, stolen and towed illegally numerous times. There is no one in NY local government that is not a criminal, I promise you this. Times Square is nice, I used to go there.
