Thank you, Ryan, as said in previous videos, your adventures are awesome and for someone like me who is so far away, they make me live and have eyes to unknown places! Kudos!
Van life can be very boring. Thank you, Ryan, for keeping it real…after 9 months traveling the West, i knew my life needed more stability and purpose (objectives)… your videos keep you very busy….. your life will be evolving 🎈⭐️☀️🇺🇸
I never expected to read a comment like this on regards to van life. Like what the hell, you could be anywhere doing anything. People live in smaller immovable spaces than a van sometimes.
not having stability and regular routine isn't for everyone, also not having real friends around regularly to do things with isn't easy. living on the road can be very lonely its not so easy to meet people to have much meaningful interaction with
Legit!! I pulled a dead mouse out of my moms car a couple weekends ago, found it smashed up in the blower motor 🤢🤢right by the cabin air filter. It was so nasty
Crazy to see you doing something like this man. To think I knew you way back in the day, and now seeing your videos pop up on my youtube suggestions. Its inspiring man. Peace and love to ya Twomey -Zeke
Ryan, thanks for your videos. I discovered you a couple of weeks ago with your longest roadtrip across America videos. I have since been going back and watching everything. I live in the UK, and your journey shows me a life I will never experience, but seem to be really interested in at the moment.
Peppermint extract mixed with water in a spray bottle! Spray it all around your suspension and anywhere a mouse can jump up to. Rodents hate the peppermint smell.Had this happen in my Audi up in Michigan 😅
Bro I remember when you used to get over 1mil+ views now you barely touch 40k views. Your channels Views to subscriptions ratio is horrendous. You okay K3?
Got ya covered for next dinner! Cantonese egg noodle nest Chili tuna packet Hardboiled egg Cut up carrots and celery Pretty good noodle bowl that is quick to make. I go heavy on the veggies myself.
Just started watching your channel and love every video you post. You’re living the live and are making me want to grab my camera and go cross country with a van! Must be such an amazing experience! Please keep uploading and have a great holiday!
Season Greetings from South Carolina 🎄🎅🌴🏖. Thanks for getting rid of the rodent humanely. Where one is, they're usually more to follow. Ugh! Glad you have something to occupy your time. (Call of Duty and etc...) Thank you Ryan for letting us tag along on your trip from Vegas to Maryland.
Mice get in by leaving the van doors open while your cooking or just enjoying stuff..... thats what its like being in nature... keeps your mind sane.... self calming 👍👍👍 i love it
Amarillo native here. The big Texan is overrated, but may be good content. Travel channel has filmed there. Drunken Oyster - good restaurant 575 Pizzeria is the best in town. Golden light is on the old Route 66 that is a good area for east and drinks. Coyote Bluff is probably your best burger. You can volunteer at Dove Creek Ranch Equine Rescue. Bunch of great folks out there. They’d probably let you park the van for free too. Best of luck! Great content 👍🏻
looking good my guy. One thing though, for the rice cooking, I suggest rinsing it with water first and then using your index finger fill the water up to the one noch line and then boil and cover on medium for 10 minutes.
Ryan, check out Palo Duro Canyon State Park just outside of Amarillo, Texas. You won’t regret it!!! A spectacular canyon in the middle of the flat prairie land. You’ll think your navigation is way off until you suddenly descend into the most scenic drop in. And of course, no trip to Amarillo would be complete with a stop at Cadillac Ranch.
Nice tips for people who wants to live in the van life, If I was going to live in the van, Give me Nintendo switch, is about to go down with so much Mario karts and super smash bros, UNO, and Clue to play with family or friends big time. Keep it up Ryna.
just an idea for hail, some sort of tarpaulin or net on 4 retractable little beams on top of your car. another option (but might take to much space) would be some rubebr mats, thick ones. maybe you can remount the solarpanels in a a way that they lifted a little bit to create storage space underneath. then store rubbermats underneath, in case of emergency, pull em out and put em on top of the panels
thanks showing us your gamingrig. and what you sad about it and tht your more in your van than in awsome locations is so true. thats why i kinda plan my van around my steamdeck to have a pc and a "console" to play on or do anythin i need a pc for.
This is sooo cool! Id find a way to get all my pc parts to not move and play pc games in a van like that but id need a little bigger van cuz is be with my gf also but i absolutly love your van 🤟
idk what i did to the algorithm to end up here, but i have to say i very much like these not so glamorous/authentic daily life, van life videos. well done
Hey quick tip if you have 5G service. I make my videos on the road when I travel also, at first I thought I needed to find wifi to upload and realized all I have to do is mix the video down on the laptop then transfer that file to your phone. Then use the youtube app to upload the video, you can add all the tags descriptions and monetize from the TH-cam Studio Mobile version. Hope that helps someone, or even you!
You could probably make some covers for your solar panels pretty easily that would protect them from hail. 1/8” thick polycarbonate sheet would be plenty adequate to protect against decent size hail. Could save ya a few bucks and you wouldn’t have to worry about it.
YES! I’m so glad your finally on your Xbox again during your vanlife journey and I was completely wondering about the wifi thing so that answered my question 😂
Hi Ryan 👋. Know you probably wont see this, but just wanted to say I enjoyed the video. Eventhoug I'm not a gamer, I think your darn good to explained your set up. Loved the part with the mouse ❤. It was so sweet that you set him free. Amazing how it actually came into the Van 😳. Love your videos buddy ❤❤ and stay safe 🤗❤
Mice in RV and cans are common. If you have cats they catch them but set up traps and make sure no food is left out everything is clean every night before you go to bed. I can't do mice. I freak the hell out lol
should of thrown your rice into your frying pan with all the left over seasoning to mix up your rice bowl. more space for mixing and extra flavor. also cool set up
Pretty impressive catching the mouse like that! I would not have been that nice with a mouse! Thanks for showing the Wifi set ups. Looking at options now myself if I were to ever hit the road full time or part time!
New to the channel but I have to say I'm more intrigued by the day to day aspect to van life more so than CHECK OUt THIS SICK NEW BACKSPLASH YALL type videos. I have no idea how to build out a van but just for me I'd probably have a bigger entertainment setup but that's really more about the individual person. If 3 or 4 days a week are like this I would personally like at least a laptop to plug the hdmi into the TV, then combo that with a gaming system. The TV now can be used to watch movies, videos, a work station for editing and a gaming system. Whenever I look at van life videos I think how can you make the most with the least amount of space. Anyways subbed!
Holy moley! 90 bucks for 150 GB. In Sweden it is 49 bucks for 5G and unlimited usage. Thought everything was cheaper in the US. But really nice setup and a terrific van!!
Try putting spring Irish soap bars in crevices. Mice do not like them. We do this for our camper and it works so well. It also smell so fresh when we open the camper for summer!
Subbed once you mentioned playing Halo 3 and MW2. I love the idea of living in a van but the whole instagram influencer craze turned me off from it, but this brings back the feelings I had before. Being free and self reliant. Good stuff!
Hi Ryan! Loving your road trip and videos. I have a suggestion for you to visit. Eureka Springs, Arkansas is a very unique little place to visit. Cool vibes. Not sure what it's like in December though.
Hey Mate you will have less latency if your use ethernet cable. Ping will drop less. Can be a significant upgrade for you knowing your 4G/5G. Also, by going on the admin page of your router you can reduce or disable the LED. Cheers and congrats, great setup you have!
You do make a good video....they are very interesting and I keep thinking, oh, I would like to do that or make that meal so I do get a lot of enjoyment out of what you show us.....thanks!
This is me but in a sailboat and starlink lol, I love the ability to be anchored somewhere away from it all, but still be connected to my friends and family
What about using a concave plexi type covering for your panels? Provides the protection as well as allowing almost all light through. Very small sacrifice for major gain. Lemme know
Thank you, Ryan, as said in previous videos, your adventures are awesome and for someone like me who is so far away, they make me live and have eyes to unknown places! Kudos!

I couldn’t ever imagine going back to the system. I’ll take freedom over the stressful life that is, a 9-5.

As for hail, search for car washes. Usually the DIY car washes are covered. You can bet nobody is at a car wash during a storm.
How nice that you released the mouse in a safe place. Well done on catching the slippery little sucker.
It's not even safe, it's about time, the mice will be caught by a bird or snak
@@muazunais2378 And? That’s nature, it lived in this environment before so it doesn’t changed much about the mouses situation

The 60 Ping made me feel better. Since I live in the middle of the ocean my ping is a constant 70-90.

Live in a campground. Mice don't care about peppermint. They have become desensitized to it.
Love these daily uploads! My wife and i just recently purchased a 2022 sprinter 170 4x4. So excited to start planning the build
Just started Vanlife as well!
Goodluck!
love it

MW2 is the Goat, I just started gaming again, my nephew last yr found me aPS5 and with it. Stay blessed out there brotha
Yeah, Wi-Fi signal seems to be the number one requirement. When trying to do TH-cam on the road.
My family’s from Amarillo Tx cool to see you going that way
"Be Free" watches him in the distance, *caw-caw*
literally thought a bird would take it xD
You could probably make some covers for your solar panels pretty easily that would protect them from hail. 1/8” thick polycarbonate sheet would be plenty adequate to protect against decent size hail. Could save ya a few bucks and you wouldn’t have to worry about it.
You randomly showed in my Home video list. Go Caps! I noticed the Capitals beanie right away :)

Kind of crazy how this is my first video I am watching of yours and you are going through my home state, NM. Safe travels.
its not crazy youtube algorithm ai bro knows you, it matches locations, all recommended videos you see, are for you.
Put your expensive solars on a hinge system to raise one side up to 90 degrees in increments. If hail comes go full 90 degrees to protect the panels 👍
I had the idea to do van gaming back in 2012, but the technology just wasnt there. This is my dream dude!! Keep going.
should of thrown your rice into your frying pan with all the left over seasoning to mix up your rice bowl. more space for mixing and extra flavor. also cool set up

The Cadillac Ranch (Carhenge) and The Big Texas steak challenge are the 2 big attractions in Amarillo. Thanks for the uploads and Merry Christmas!
if theirs hail you just take off the Solar pannels, OR get a tarp setup on a 45 degree axis and they will roll straight off avoiding your solar panels
Chill winter day yet no snow. Man you southerners are different. Looks like short weather haha. Just giving sht by the way. Awesome Van

Yes sir. Been waiting. I get hyped when that notification hits.
That would have been crazy funny if he jumped out of the Tupperware and a hawk snatched him. 😂😂
I would love van life! My van life would be following All Elit Pro Wrestling lol. I would travel everywhere to see their shows.
Ryan, you should try a public library next time or if there’s a local college around. Both usually have guest Wi-Fi that’s strong.

Awws looks like he liked you, he didn't wanna leave lol. Should have kept him as a pet/companion and got him a cage later.
I'm your biggest fan, and honestly I like the chillier videos a lot
thanks for putting in all the work ITS GOING TO PAY OFF!!!!
If you ever find yourself caught up in hail, throw a blanket over your panels and bungee the blanket down

Sweeet. Inspirational lil vid. Nice setup.
Not sure bout the rice. Medium rare 😅 .
Your vanlife is awesome. With that game set up 🤩
