Your young and have more good things to do so do it. Your lucky to have a home on wheels because if you dont like your neighbors you Can leave you know, yeah. Good luck in your next home on wheels.

On my 4th year off grid mostly in my Jayco 195RB travel trailer and stayed in 37 states so far .I gave my 2 bedroom house to my youngest son and i hit the road and I love this life .You can boondock for free at any Florida water management sites , look on RUclips for info.I got my new 2020 Ram 1500 for 35k and my new 2020 Jayco camper for 16k in march 2020 and I am debt free and retired so I can live cheap while travelling and I can still save .

You did an awesome Job in cooking your banana bread . Btw you reminds me of David shwimmer if I spell his name right . The guy on show " FRIENDS " you look like him talked like him and act like him . 💯%

Love the videos man I really wanna do this I’ve always wanted to and I have the truck camper setup already just need to have the money to do it first and thanks for all the tips

Yep, go with your heart and follow your dream. Not much worse than sitting at home with the "would have, could have, should have" reel playing in your head. As always, thanks for sharing and keep up the great vlogs!!!

I bet you can get your money out of that camper. The truck will depreciate, but it will if you own a house.

Best quote ever Kevin" can't put a price on your heart" we really enjoy watching you evolve and it's like watching one of our kids navigate the world and find their path . Your parents must be proud they raised a boy with the strength to follow his heart . Keep it real the content is great. If you need ideas give us a video on what to do if you have an equipment failure in the cold such as furnace crapping out or spare parts in case you are back woods and your starter just decides to screw the pooch or getting stuck any fail safes or suggestions . NOT to JINX ya LOL

There is absolutely zero benefit to buy a house now and for at least the next five years. Housing will not appreciate and expect large devaluation in real estate. For the next five years it will be far better to rent. Camping in an RV? Sure it’s an alternative. At the end of the day you’re a free nomad and that’s not a bad thing.

So nice to meet someone who knew what he wanted and got it. Safe travels.

My wife and I just turned 60 and have a rig worth 150k+. It started out with a completely different truck and camper which is the great thing about the truck camper life. As one component wears out or needs upgrading you can work towards your dream rig bit by bit. Its been an expensive passion over the years, we have junked at least one TC and one truck. Having said that, we wouldn't of done anything differently, the whole thing has been a blast.

Hey kev I sold my home an totally built out a truck camper I also bought land so I would have a home base for when I need a break and somewhere I can build my retirement home an have room for all my friends . Good video…Kev c

Here’s a simple equation. Are you happy if you give me the right decision good for you for your heart and your dreams.

I wish I had the balls at that age to step out but luckily for me I retire in 21 months and have my camper. Currently working out the kinks in it for us to travel in. Selling the house and leaving debt free. We have a public safety pension we will live on. It worked out for us later in life so we’re blessed. Everyone has to go their own road. ✌🏼

Hey Man, i’m on ur 4th vid hre in Toronto, Ontario. Excited to see more stories and journeys👍 You’ve got a cool vibe going hre.. kip going👌 As a retired Cdn Army Vet, u’ve earned my sub for ur genuine, unique, Cdn style of vlogging ur content👏👏👏 Cheerz 👍😎🤙

One day, you will want to be in a house. I just hope you have the money to get back into buying another house. It might be not be possible. That’s another thing to think about. Beautiful views.

You might meet your wife, raise a family while continuing the lifestyle, and home-schooling your children You seem to like sharing and teaching people about your lifestyle. Whatever is right for you, young man. Be well, be blessed❤

My tske is, don't drive around a lot. Fuel and upkeep are the greatest costs. Psy cash for the rig and camper. Have no debts. Invest what you would as a house dweller into the stock market or other investments. They out perform real-estate. Eat healthy. Movement. The fresh air every day and being closer to nature is healthier.

Good shit bud. I just bought a ‘15 3500 and ‘18 NL camper. Thanks for the inspiration. Seriously. Been working forever saving/investing so it was the right time for me. Have a great snowboard season!

I hate lving in a house. It basically becomes your life. What's the best province to do a van conversion and get a physical address for mail and legal documentation.

Buyin ya a beer! Your production skills have greatly improved since the beginning and very noticable last couple months. Great work!!

I think ski boatding looks more gun than sking

That gimbal works awesome! Excellent shooting!

Good video Kevin, not sure if you do this or into it at all but i suggest you learn to trade stock options, it can be another source of income

👍😎🇨🇦✨️

Great video.

you need an animal companion for your journey

I grew up in Leduc, Alberta. LOL Cute little place in summer, a bugger in winter for sure! Just tuning in!! Enjoy the adventures!! 🎉

Always a Great Vid Kevin Knowledge is power😊

Such a good video Kev - no amount of money can replace the experiences that you are having.

Frankly My Opinion is If you Don't have A Good Job Don't buy a house if you don't Have a Good Job leasing a place isn't a good idea either Best to Learn a Trade that is in Demand Then move to a location that has that job in demand College is not always the best Answer if you pick a field that has low Job demands then you just wasted time and money Being tied down with out a plan is never a good thing😁Think before you leap That's My 2 cents 😊

Lots of good insight Kevin. Safe travels!

Awesome video you nailed it. It is a good alternative than owning a house. If you don’t pay rent or mortgage you got lot of money to play with a month. Awesome video 🛠️🇨🇦

Hey Kevin. I've been following you from the beginning...keep it up. I have friends who've quit really fun RUclips channels because of the negative comments they received. Ignore them. Do what makes you happy. It's your art. I followed a similar but different path. I owned a home, sold it, and bought a sailboat with my half of the proceeds (long story). I lived on the sailboat beginning in 2007 with a dream of sailing around the world, and finally got my ducks in a row (saved up enough money) in 2016. My wife and I left Seattle and sailed as far as Costa Rica, but really enjoyed Latin America too much to make the leap to the South Pacific. In 2020, we ran out of money and Covid hit. We shipped the boat from La Paz , Mexico to Nanaimo with the last of our cash and brought it back to Seattle. During our trip, we met quite a few people who played the game way better than me (and had more lucrative careers), and never had to return to work. I learned what I could from them, and read a ton. Personally, I view rent, mortgage, or living in an RV/boat as just a cost of doing business. You need somewhere to live and it's going to cost you. I did a ton of research on the topic, and most of the "experts (with a massive grain of salt)" don't recommend buying a home as an investment if you're planning on living in the same place for 10 years or less. Maintenance, insurance, mortgage interest, utilities, etc, etc add up. Also, you're betting that the housing market will increase beyond other investment opportunities, which may happen in the long run, but is a gamble in the short. If I were to park myself in one place for 30 years and never take a break from the work force, it makes a ton of sense (again, all of this is from my perspective) to buy yourself a white-picket fenced home and settle in for the long haul. However, I panic at this thought and can't (didn't) do that. My belief is that living a mobile lifestyle can be cheaper and, all else being equal, it makes more financial sense. When we returned from sailing, I settled back into the work force and lived on my sailboat at a local Seattle marina. I had high boat maintenance costs, but my marina bill was about $800 USD, which is way better than a $3000 rent/mortgage payment. I took the difference over four years, and invested in the stock market. Some of my friends/family who have been living in houses are further ahead, but most of their money isn't available to them because it's wrapped up in a house which they would need to sell and still find somewhere else to live. Yes, taking off to travel will drain your accounts if you're not working, but if you can work remotely or just live simply in a van/boat for a bit, you may be ahead if you play your cards right. Our sailing days ended when we left Mexico if I'm being honest and we've been looking for our next move, which was always going to be land-based. We'd shopped RV shows, and unexpectedly fell into the truck camper world. You were my second introduction to Northern Lites, and I'm very pleased to say that we're leaving at the end of the year to full-time in our 2018 NL 10-2/2017 F350 DRW. Also a skier and am looking forward to spending some time re-aquainting myself with sliding, but also getting back to Mexico on this thing. I'm semi-retired, and my wife is full time. We're both working remotely. Please take everything we say with a grain of salt, because (as you correctly say) every situation is different. Take care and keep up the good work!

I just subscribed already lol......

Kevin great video. I am at a turning point, and this kind of lifestyle does interest me. As for a ball park estimate, how much would buying a truck camper and truck like yours would cost.

I watch your videos, the one concern is "fixed address" when you renew your drivers license? CRA mailing address? Passport if you wanted one? Provincial medical coverage if you move around in other provinces? I find that renting an apartment you have that location and there is not hassle? You also say you can get a job? My employers would frown on a no address etc. It appears to work for you, so we will follow this journey and learn along the way. I love truck campers!!!!!!!!!!!!🥰

I sold it all in 19 and became a ski bum for 4 years in my truck camper. I eventually settled on 2 cheap properties to travel back and forth to chase weather so I can veg, and go back out again. I got into hunting as well to feed my animals on my property. I clean nothing. Dogs do the dishes. Nothing goes to waste. I also have an rv on both properties too.

You could have kept your house and rented it out, meeting mortgage & taxes & maintenance with the rental income, and sold much later when value has gone up, or keep it as a safety net. Just saying. Some vanlifers do that. Just another option to add to your analysis of the reasons for this lifestyle

check the title typo....Love the videos Kevin.

You can’t see me but I am doing a lot of head nodding about the things you are saying…especially towards the end. Life is about living…your living! Too many people wait until it is too late or don’t even try because of fear or uncertainty. We all need to get out and live our adventure or dream!

Hell you can buy a used truck for 8 grand and a fixer upper camper for 3. One doesn't have to sign notes to do this. Borrowing totally defeats the purpose of truck camping.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. We are nearly fulltiming in our truck camper. We camp host at Washington state parks and we love it. We host 9 to 10 months a year and those off times are not consecutive. They are split up. Love it, and yes...we do save money versus our other type of trips with the camper.

Live your dreams....ya never know when life brings one a blow.....Is it a financially decision or live the life you love. Maybe a one mile hike at high elevation brings more joy. Go for it!

Thank you for doing this video.

If you don’t have a house or apartment and you do this full time, how do you get mail? How do you get government documents or even renew driver’s licence or official documents?

sitting in my room im renting after walking away from round 1 with dealership to buy used 3/4 ton, and i swear i can hear creed "I'm 6 ft from the edge" when i clicked on this video

Kevin you going to shoot a clip on making your tasty french toast?

Hey, Kevin, thanks for all the Great info!!! I got a question, How do u feel about Lance truck campers compare to like the one u have??? Thanks, Take Care & Happy Travels!!!!!

Good vlog))
