Welcome to my Channel,
My name is James and I live full time in my tiny van, however this is not just a van life channel. I enjoy travel, food and drink and making videos 🙂
When I turned 50 I decided I’d had enough of the rat race and working long hours just to pay rent and bills, life was passing me by and I needed a drastic change.
FAQ
Where is Helen?
Helen has a responsible full time job and two children so unfortunately she can’t join me on every trip. I really wish she could.
What equipment do you use?
My vlogging camera is a GoPro Hero 9 but I also use my pixel 6a phone and Lumix G80 camera for other footage
For editing, I used Premiere Pro on an old laptop but I’m saving to buy a more powerful computer.
Do you have children?
Yes I have a 6yr old daughter who lives with her mum but I see her quite a lot. I don’t usually put her on the vlogs and if I do, I block out her face for privacy reasons. I also have a grown up son.
How do you fund your lifestyle?
I don’t need as much to live these days since going full time van life but I receive a small percentage of income from the ads that TH-cam put on the videos.
Why the sponsored videos?
I only accept sponsorship from companies I use and trust, this is my fulltime job and my income, it’s how I support my family. (I have Patreon if you prefer videos with no ads).
How do I contact you?
Please contact me here: james@bythecurb.co.uk
The reason why you've got to 40.000 is that your videos are brilliant through rain or shine you always deliver and you and hellebobs are so down to earth.
Ye and these vlogs are nothing without James. 😀
Thank you David 🙂
Yes the quality of yout videos stand alone. Their success is not dependant on the fact that you live in a van. So when you and Helen get your forever home, I sincerely hope you will continue your channel and continue producing videos...Because I have a feeling that your subscribers will remain loyal and be keen to see where life takes you. We are jnvested in you as people, not in the circumstances of your life at any given time. X
This is a blast from the past. When we were kids we used to walk from Romish and play up there for hours catching frogs at Pottery Pond. Mental when ya think about it, must have only been around 8 years old. Wandering the streets, doing what we wanted. Great times. Feel sorry for kids these days.
I';m very surprised you don't have more subscribers, you and Helen are very likeable people. Take care x.
Nice one James on reaching 40k. Well deserved. Love Helen but I disagree with whoever....I think with or without helen your channel is brill and down to earth that's what we love bout you. ❤
Thank you Carole 😊
No it's not that bad without Helen. We love watching you on your own too James. Much love. xx
Hi James I really enjoy your videos and Helen is lovely! Hilarious 😂🎉John in stow on the wold Cotswolds day hello to Helen for me
You got 40k because your real and I enjoy your content well done.100k for sure🤛🏾👍🏽
, your good on your own too James , I first watched you on your own ,your a super guy you are who you are and say what you think that's why I watch your Channel , and luckily you have a girlfriend Helen who is like you she is who she is don't change either of you,your 2 top people.
Dogs are as chilled has there owners. What you may call a scrappy dog doesn't always applie. I had a patterdale cross collie. He didn't bark until he was 2 year's old.
James you are the reason I watch your channel so please don’t think it’s all about Helen as much as I love her I love you too 😁
Thank you 🙂
That hotel, I couldn’t stay there, too dirty
I like the videos with or without Helen
You just look happier when Helen’s with you and you have someone to bounce off
I'm always happier when I'm with Helen
@@bythecurbIs the correct answer
You make this channel too James, as much as it is good with the both of you, you still produce good content and is good veiwing. Don't be discouraged mate, keep up the good content.
Well done In reaching 40,000..Watched you from the very start..Hubby and I watch you,and you and Helen every video. Keep doing what you are doing. I used to have two labs..One golden and black, Beau and Alice..Gone to the spirit in the sky now. Yep labs are great dogs.
😍Thank you for being with us for so long
Love watching you,love hearing your life stories.❤
You deserve 40,000 subscribers and many more. Helen is the icing but you're the cake! 🙂
Thanks mate
Personally love all the vlogs with and without the divine Helen! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Congrats on your channel , I have watched from the start. My partner and i have got a van now and you have inspired us to get out and about more. Xx
You deserve 40K with all the work you and helibobs have put in. Every video is so down to earth and straight up, I respect the fact that you have a back bone and you tell things as they are..Please keep this up.
We love you as well James don’t worry keep the good work up
Thank you 🙂
It’s so sweet how lost you seem without Helen. But enjoying all this childhood reminiscing can just see you with a Golden Retriever on the seat at the side of you ❤
I'd love that 🙂
Always a good watch.So much warmth,humour and banter.The car ride to the airport reminded me of the Catherine Tate Show,The Disgusted Couple 😂😂.Execellent Channel.
You make us laugh so much with your dry sense of humour, my husband is from Yorkshire you sound like peas in a pod ! Also love a Labrador ! Best dog ever , less hair than a retriever too !
I had a labrador years ago. Brilliant dog
When I first started watching you James you only had 1000 subscribers …. you’ve got so professional but still down to earth and “normal “ love your vlogs and have got family members and friends to watch you 🎉 here’s to 50,000 🎉 and more 🙂
Thank you Jackie, I really appreciate that 🙂
Congratulations on reaching 40k James. Well deserved. 👏. Tidy place , tidy mind 🙂 . Nice to see Helen on her hols, hotel looks abit crusty 😄 I'm sure Helen'll still have a good time ❤
She did. Thank you 😊
Here's to 50k , well deserved ❤🎉
Congratulations on the 40,000 subscribers James and Helen, you deserve all the success because you are just being yourselves, even if you have a posh voice at times lol. I think it is time that Aldi sponsored the channel though, you have done enough subtle brand endorsement for them over the past year, it is only fair that they give something back. Hope you have a safe journey back home Helen.
Thanks, I'd settle for an Aldi sponsorship 😂
Jeez mate, I’m sat in a live music bar in Lamai , Ko Samui, Thailand and a couple just walked in, the woman is a spit of Helen, prob few years older and she’s just got up dancing to Sweet Caroline with a drink in her hand😂😂parallel universe😂and he just sits there watching her, like you do😂😂
She still dancing….😂😂
Haha its Helens Doppelganger
😂😂😂oh Helen I just love you ♥️😘😘😘
Awwwww thank you Lin xx
Great vlog again and James YES YES YES to having a Golden Retriever. I had two, a girl Libby and a boy called Barney. The girl was so laid back and the best dog ever, the boy was nuts when he was younger but he mellowed as he got older but was never as loving as "my girl". They are an amazing breed to own. Congrats on the 40K, very well deserved.
Thank you, I'd really love one but my van is just not big enough. Maybe later in the year when I upgrade the van
put Helen's fit mates on the channel as well. win win. well done on 40K. keep going kidda!!
Ive asked Jane to come on as she is hilarious, not sure what her bloke would say though!! 😂
@@bythecurb put her on i can admire at arms length
Well done James on your 40k subscribers. Love the videos of you and Helen. Proper Lovely down to earth couple. The missus and i love watching your videos with a nice drink or two 😀😀
I could quite happily watch you rambling on in your van James, another great video. For future reference, if you want a docile dog, get a greyhound, they sleep 23 hours a day.
Thank you, Greyhounds are lovely dogs
Congratulations been with you from the start. Funny and occasionally informative always entertaining 😊
Thank you for sticking with me for so long :-)
Watched your video about Halifax, was so impressed going there this weekend, staying at the travelodge, it's one place I never thought I would visit, but because of you and your channel we are going, so you videos are having an impact on people, with or without Helen, cheers mate 👍
Thank you, I hope you have a great time 🙂
Thank you James 👍
As wonderful as Helen is,I love the vlogs where you're out on your own visiting all the different places,very much like the the Bald and Bankrupt vlogs- and he has over 4 million subscribers,your channel is every bit as good,keep doing what you're doing and heres to 50k.
Wow, thank you so much 🙂
Given you a shout out on Bald and Bankrupts latest vlog around Plymouth,his subscribers are sure to enjoy your vlogs too.
great video guys.. the bit that took me back was at the beginning, i used to be the top tree Clymer of all time as a kid, i taught my
two boys to climb trees from an early age, kids now just past trees and don't give anymore thought, see the! get up em and take ya pen knife out and cut ya name in the highest peak of the tree ya can.... im nearly 50 guys but i can still do it ... anyway its as usual an amazing Vlog, the tree thingy obviously did it for me x
Hi James not commented for while in the beginning there was only a few of us were as now you have hundreds of comments 🤣
You know mate your channel has grown so much your content is fantastic real escapism and informative been to a few places you've
Had on with my partner
Whether your with Helen or on your owe it's brilliant something for everyone 😊
Some of my belly laughing moments are when your in the van pottering about cooking or tidying up comedy gold you have funny bones and I love your sense of humour
Keep it up mate ❤
Thank you Andy 🙂
Well done on the 40 tho subs brilliant mate liverpool likes you respects you enjoy you two
Congrats on getting to 40k, well deserved, I think it's because you keep it simple and of course your dry sense of humour which cracks me up 😂
Thank you 🙂
James, you are the foundation, and Helen the building (sorry-ex builder). You both are there because of the other, irrespective of whether you’re together or not. A couple who found each other and a way to share their experiences with us.
Never doubt yourself buddy, you’re on the right path, keep going, the majority of us are loving it.
What happened at the end? No sithee!
Sithee Andy & Glen.
Andy & Glen, I really need to up my sithee game again!
@@bythecurb appreciate the belated sithee. I’m currently attempting to encourage an appreciation society for the Curbside ‘Sithee’ and other Yorkshireese.
Hoping you can offer some insight into the sithee use and other Yorkshire use of the more traditional language? Maybe some of us Yorkshire folk could offer some ‘samples’ of same? Maybe a book deal James. ?
What do you think?
Andy & Glen.
I like the mixture of content all the videos are brilliant why don't you go to Conisbrough you could do a tour of the castle and do a fish & chip review at Seafish. Love to both you & Helen jo & Gillian Doncaster xx
I thought I recognized the place, Swinton is where my family are from on my Dads side (Headon) and they actually lived in one of the gatehouses to the Rockingham Pottery works, next to Swinton pond. I do remember as a child in the 70's actually going inside the pottery structure when there were no gates. Of course I subscribed some time ago and enjoy all your adventures and pub crawls, either you on your own James or when you're with Hellen and the first batch of videos I got into were when you went to Benidorm, which I have been meaning to visit. Keep up the great content and congrats on 45K subs.
I’m well done for reaching 40,000 subscribers. Your videos are fantastic and enjoyable. Even though I’m from Sheffield I live in Exeter Devon I’ve never lost my Yorkshire accent. I love hearing the Yorkshire accent. Don’t feel like your videos are not good without Helen in them. I love all your videos The ones with just you in are funny and enjoyable and interesting. You are down to earth and real and say it like it is like a true Yorkshire man. Keep up the great videos❤
Thank you, that's very nice of you to say. #teamyorkshire 😊
Well done 40.000 you deserve it you are a good man
Thank you 😊❤️
Great vlog again. Helen you must go to Italy Super dolomites much better than in France friendly cheaper accommodation is not faulty towers much better quality If you want some advice on resorts and stuff let me know.
You n Helen seem friendly n down to earth, that's why your subscribers are rising, noooo to a bushy beard 😂
I came across you two when you did Scarborough stream. And now l can't see enough. I will tell people about you.
GOOD LUCK.
Dont let the haters get to you mate, the videos are great no matter what so just keep on being you and keep them coming
They’ve got haters? When? Don’t watch all the time but I can’t see how these two can upset anyone
Poor Helen its absolutely soul destroying forgetting something like a passport hope she had a great holiday
You are both great and together something really special.
Your channel is great dude. Helen obviously adds a different vibe but I enjoy your uploads, it's such an easy going pace you have. It's pretty harsh what that commenter said , some folk just enjoy being critical.
Thank you 🙂
@@bythecurb you're welcome mate
What commentator?
Hi James cracking video this ... And congratulations on over 40,000 subscribers totally fully fully deserved mate too you and Helen love U both 😊
Thanks Andy 🙂
Congratulations 🎉 love your videos either you on your own or with Helen you would look a right wazzy joking and laughing on your own. So having helen makes your videos completely different but with or without you both make bloody great videos ❤
It's still great James...keep on keeping on...
Thanks mate
Congratulations on subscribers. Helen's great but i am going to say my Hubby i thoroughly enjoy when you vlog alone. You are chilled and very watchable in your own right. Keep it up 👍
Not surprised James you your videos are very entertaining. 👍
James the cooker has a regulator knob , turn down the heat so your garlic bread cooks gently ..another chap cooks at the highest temp possible and he burns his food too 😂
I'm just naturally terrible at cooking. Didn't even think of that 😂
A nice bit of chat this video, a bit philosophical too. We appreciate that it can be hard deciding what and where to film. Doesn't matter, we love watching you and Helen. ❤🇦🇺
I think your the star of the show. Helens a added extra 😂
Thank you 🙂
Of course Helen adds a different dimension to the show James but hey! I'm sure if it was the other way round, folk would be asking Helen...where is James? Yourself & Helen is like Salt & Pepper; we like both but either will still be fine on their own 😆
James and Helen I always love your vids with or without Helen you both make me laugh and are so down to earth. I can’t walk far so you both are a breath of fresh air brilliant ! You have such a big following because your not trying to be people your not. Lots of hugs 🤗
Thanks Elaine
Gosh James 😮brings back loads of memories and feelings goin back to child hood hang outs doesn't it 😊love seein you potter about in the van how you packed the bed away and cookjn watching tele cosy facial hair o no no don't do it yikes 😂or do and you can always shave it off again anyway 😊I loved watching DIY sos wow what a lovely view Helen got from where she's stayin luck ❤️ 💖 well I think the channel great with or with out her in it James thanks for takin time to chatter sharing your time with us 😊
Thank you Lucy 🙂
I like the way Helen walks! She walks with purpose!
Con grats on 40k James I still enjoy your videos even without Helen. Helen is a bonus keep up the blogs
Congratulations on your 40K, well deserved, always entertaining.
Thank you 🙂
Realy enjoying your vlogs guys. 👍
Love seeing you on your own James but your happiness shows when your together ❤
i hope Helen enjoys her skiing holiday must be good to get away in Winter have a break from all this rain. and you're a superstar on these vlogs don't worry. i always try and watch.
Thank you 🙂
Congrats on 40K subscribers. Well deserved. I say keep the beard as is. Its just an extra expense with beard oils etc if you dont already use them. Saying that you could get sponsors so up to you.
Hello James just to say we love your blogs with or without Helen, bless Helen with her passport easily done all turned out OK in the end. A beard would suit you, also a nice handlebar moustache. It does not take long to get over the wirey feeling. I have had a beard since I was 18. I'm now in my early 60s. Keep the good work up all the best for now. Andy and Pat from Norfolk.
Confession time:( The first video I watched of yours was your trip to Grasmere. A place we love…because it’s lovely :) You moaned so much about the place I thought what a grumpy sod he seems to be. I eventually watch another and another then realised you are a grumpy sod…but a nice one..who makes me laugh😊
😂 Thanks, it's a bit of fun
I enjoy you on your own as well as Helen so keep the vlogs coming James been watching you since last January 👍
Great job James great eclectic mix of H and you and your van life
I watch all of your videos and enjoy them, I can see why people like the ones with Helen in them because you complement each other so well.
Great blog James and weather you are on by yourself or with Helen it's a great watch .oh and you can't beat carry on screaming😀
Another brilliant video! You deserve the 40k sir 🎩
Thank you :-)
James you keep doing what your doing it’s always a laugh it’s down to earth well done on 40K
Thank you 🙂
James we like your rambling. We also like your natural no frills this is who we are attitude. Being northers helps a lot as we are who we are. Some other vloggers lose themselves and start playing to the camera. Doesn’t work at all. Take care she’ll be back soon.
Thank you 🙂
It’s the way you both play of each other that makes the channel. Keep it up.
Try growing a goatee - get yourself a couple of waistcoats and Paisley shirts - thin ties - pocket watch and check trousers with turn ups - and a pair of brogues. Helen will love it!
Another enjoyable slice of your life James. Glad Helen’s enjoying her holiday 😍👍
Your fine on your own 27:24 James. Helen is the Bonus!
James you can get larger versions of the silica gel packet that was in you Dunelm box. They’re really good for in the lockers where your bedding is etc. it reduces moisture and damp
Thanks, thats a great idea
I thought it was both your channels. Great either way.
Big Clap on 40k subscribers James . Vlogs are Great with or without Helen . Great content .
Thanks 👍
The little piece with Helen worked really well.
Congratulations to both of you for reaching 40k onwards and upwards you deserve it for the bringing joy and entertainment while keeping it so honest and natural love you're hikes which I've always loved walking unfortunately through mobility and being widowed watching nearly as good thanks 😊
Thank you 🙂
Ey up, Congrats on the 40K onward and upward next stop 50K i’m sure it won’t be long so long as Helen hasn’t broken a leg it’ll all be fine so keep the videos coming and we’ll keep finding you new subscribers. Take care and we look forward to the next video, see thee.
Thank you Brian and Helen 😊
Always a great video James 😁 thank you for sharing buddy 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Stay healthy Helen and stop drinking so much be careful with your health your fabulous woman and I hope you enjoy your well deserved trip 💛💛🍺
I started watching you from the beginning and think the vlogs are great proper down to earth .
Well done James, all your videos are good, with or without Helen. It just brings a different perspective to them when you are together 😊
Thank you 😊
I went clean shaven a few year back, wife nearly divorced me, had to grow it back quick sharp. Your vlogs are great with or without Helen so shurrup mithering! 😁
Love all the vlogs❤
Congratulations Mr 40k now let's get you to 100k!
Love both you and Helen together but really appreciate your research on places and imparting histrionic details.
Thank you 🙂
Keep the videos coming, you have 40k subscribers for a reason. Enjoy every single one and watch every one with my wife. What I like the most is how humble and real you are and Helen adds that bit of comedy which most of us can relate to. Keep up the excellent work! Where did you get your van done? Cannot find a video for that anywhere
Its definitely in there, if you go to my channel and sort by most popular videos its one of those :-)
James & Helen are so down to earth.
Ignore the comment James, it was only one person and you can see from all of these comments that everyone else disagrees. I love seeing Helen in your videos she adds a different dynamic but I also love to watch the ones with just you in them. You are really relatable, you make me laugh and I even enjoy watching the videos where you are just chatting (it’s like having a catch up with a friend). Keep up the great work and keep being you. Hope Helen had a good holiday - despite the hotel 🤢
Staggering the speed you have got to 40,000 subs, great content and humour, amazing from when you started barely a year ago and you were sleeping on pallets in the back of your van 👍
