I missed the woodworking and being a maker. I'm a subscriber and I was seeing your channel through but it did bum me out that the channel changed so drastically. Glad to see you back.
Good job being flexible. One of the best pieces of marriage advice I ever received (which works great for life in general as well) is: "Everyone has a picture in their mind of what they think their life should be, but life never goes the way you plan. So you can either tear up your life to make it match the picture in your mind, or you can tear up the picture and enjoy your life as it happens."
What you will realize AFTER you have been in your HOME is that when you drive the van even to the store is that you COULD just keep driving, you could go anywhere and be at home, survive, vacation etc. Then every turn is freedom and going back home is EXTRA Special and a CHOICE.
@@lemarz8006 tbf most people who would live in a van out of necessity cant afford a van in the first case (3k minimum in bad condition) plus the conversion but if your homeless that aint that important a
Regarding the air conditioning of your closet-studio, doors are cheap - you may consider storing the current door, and just making a hole in it as needed (exhaust fan up, maybe 2-3 silent PC fans next to each other pushing the hot air out, and an intake hole down?). When it's time to leave the apartment, just put the door back. In Canada, a few years back I bought a sound-proof door for like ~$150 from a shop specialized in doors. If storage space is an issue, just verify first that you can get a door - and once confirmed, just make a hole into the existing door. When it's time, get a new door.
I used to love your videos when you were in the camp, but now I think it’s gonna be even crazier with what you have for a workshop and you’re gonna have really cool projects to do looking forward
I'm sure that a lot of van lifer are like you. A big part of van life is the satisfaction of building the van. We all continue to want that satisfaction of seeing something we are proud of building. Good thing is that most of us that enjoy your road experiences will enjoy your building experiences as well. Go for it!
Yeah the door is so finicky lol, I'm bi and was pretty stressed out about getting out of the closet, then I found out my dad was bi. I'm lucky to have my dad and he has managed to be supportive and really funny about it at the same time. I realize this is really long and you might not see it anyway, but if you read this all, thank you.
Lillooet! Affordable. Outdoor everything. 1.5 hrs from Pemberton, Whistler. Climate? Can’t beat it!! We need young growth minded people here. Enjoyed your story!! I like to promote what I call the “circle tour” ….. Van to Squamish, Whistlers, Pemberton, Duffy 🤩, Lillooet, Hope, Fraser Valley ….. home!!!
We did a Skokie build in 2019 and hit the road for ‘at least a year’ in Feb 2020. We were 4 months in and realized a year wasn’t going to be enough. We are still in the skoolie and have completed 4 full years of #buslife. We plan to go back home (we have a little house and rented it while we traveled) in the spring (2025) for a total of 5 years. I got back into art after 20 years in the winter of 20/21. I think that did a lot to give my life purpose while traveling. I do art as my hobby and hope to make a go of selling my art soon. Having a hobby you can do on the road is important. But I don’t think I would have ever unlocked that again in myself had it not been for bus life. We (husband and I) have done a lot of soul searching, and thinking and realizing what is most important to us and what we can let go of in life. But now I am thinking longingly of a studio space I can work in and as much as I love traveling and seeing new places, it’s time to go home. I do plan to build another, smaller rig for shorter trips because the travel bug has bitten us hard and I can’t imagine not doing this regularly from now on. But you either have to have something to do on the road or you have to travel more to continue to feed the ‘see new things’ hole to feel like you are doing something. I find many people travel a lot faster than we do and burn out faster doing it. Travel is exhausting. Yes, it’s amazing, but it’s also super tiring. We try to stay in places for a week or more whenever we can so we can rest and recharge and enjoy a place. And it often still doesn’t feel like enough time. Full time travel is a tricky business, but it’s worth trying at least once.
I respect the heck out of this! Fulfilment is everything, so I am glad you both agreed to plant roots in Vancouver! Keep the creative juices going guys, loving the videos and can't wait for some BC content!
You know what? No shame in coming home. You two are young and did this at the right time. You tried, you succeeded for 8 months now you can take that off your bucket list and start your next adventure and we will follow your dreams. ❤
11:17 OMG i watched this video the chair one because i like 3d printing things and that was soo cool and now im thinking about getting into van life and here you are again XD
Feel ya. I love traveling but also love coming home to my workshop and 3D printers. I get ideas and field test while traveling but then love to come home and make in a proper workshop. 50% travel / 50% home base feels interesting to me.
Don't be afraid of edge banding - you can make the edges buttery smooth by using a router to trim the excess and then giving it a quick swipe with a sheet of high grit sandpaper. Have fun!
Would suggest using a couple of transmission coolers(or radiators) and a room aircondtioner. Just plumb couple of flex pvc lines to feed the radiators with a water pump(and a small insulated water cooler acting as a reservoir). The remote radiator can be placed on a window sill or exhast vent to get the heat out. Could be a cool project in itself(esp. Identifying the right a/c with appropriate btu capacity and form factor). Could also do a split a/c, but may not be portable. Look forward to more fun projects.❤👍
That hack space is a really cool idea! I wonder if my city would need one of those! I love your little apartment. It's perfect as a home base! It is great that you two were honest and wise about your future. Rock on!
What a whirlwind! I just found you guys a few days ago. Left Toronto, same here! Want to do some traveling via van, same again. Sucker for your pets, yes. Make stuff even when you have to improvise, yes! And now you changed directions, good for you! The videos gave me whiplash 😅
Saw your van the last 2 days in Orange Beach as I was heading to work... Found y'all and now I'm jealous! Enjoy our area! It's amazing. So many places to visit. Holler if you want some ideas!
Looks like I came to this video a little on the late side. I most Definitely appreciate it but I am still working on the electricity of my Van (Cloud) and while I do not love the small space I enjoy the freedom here in the states. I live in Austin Texas where there is SO much warm weather that I didn't need to start working on a heat source till late November... so here I am in mid December without an independent heat source but struggling to get the system wired up. I am most definitely in over my head, but I think I will eventually be happy with what I have accomplished. Like your van I also started with a shell. Cloud is a 2016 Ford Transit 2500 Mid Roof. Love that I can stand up inside it and it is still small enough to stealth camp without much problems. I have only been asked to move two times in the 4 months I have been living in my van and parking in different spaces. I did not go with a loft bed but a cot and a mattress designed for them. It is very cramped but after a few weeks I managed to get a full night's sleep, lol! Really it is the Texas polin and dust that is kicking my sinus into suffocation status, lol! I have nothing but love for the hope of what I will be able to do in the future.
The thing is yall can still do a month here and there whenever you want but there is no better way to relax than by going home and even though a van is nice "especially yours" its not as safe and your always a tiny bit on edge which never lets you fully let go.
This video hits feeling, i think the best solution is to "able to be flexible which change country where thing are affordable". Can have both stationary and van life once every month or anytime you want to hit road sounds ideal. Biggest problem would be money also , maybe bigger van help? Or a van that can increase in size. By the way, your video really comforting and Proud of the 8month journey !!! ❤Great job. If you can live in different country where thing are cheaper maybe it would suit both your lifestyle more ? The cost of living in some country are very affordable and more flexible probably. But i dont know how one can living in other country like by Visa stuff thing. Not sure if its gonna be complicate.
I mean, if you've been to Halifax, Quebec city, Ottawa, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Calgary, or Edmonton, then you'll know what a ridiculous statement that is!
FYI: heat pump is a game changer... super cheap to run, and keeps the space a really nice constant temp. They are spendy, but worth it... Suppose it's probably not an option in an apartment though...
I was worried that you were gonna sell the van, but I'm glad you decided to keep it! It's become somewhat of a character/mascot; not sure how to explain it.
Van life is fun because it gives you lots of freedom and it takes you wherever you want to go. I wish I was out there somewhere in the USA in a van, but I'm still considering the idea of becoming a Gypsy,Tinker, Nomad whatever you may call it. I'm saving for a cargo minivan which I will convert into my living space when I'm ready to retire in 10 years from now.
Yaaaaaay!!! welcome to Vancouver,BC !! I am from just around surrey hoping to bump with you when u’re around the city or in surrey if ever you’ll get to visit 😅😅❤❤take care!!
van life to Van life! On a side note, I hope Vancouver Hack space is chill with the advertisement. I feel like it can be a bit disruptive if there’s a big sudden inflow of flaky members
Congrats on starting your next phase! Even if just printing PLA, you don't want to be in that tiny room while printing, unless you create some kind of serious ventilation system. But especially if using ASA or ABS for anything. I hope the channel grows quickly enough that by this time next year you can get a bigger place. I am assuming you will get used to the studio apartment by then and it may not feel so big anymore. I got very close to switching to van life a few times, but I have a feeling that I would not have liked needing to be constantly on the move. It's great you got to try it out as long as you did.
Best...Great you went for it, and used all your very handy skills for the van, and listening to what is right for you while keeping the van and getting shop access. I'm starting with a minivan with slow DIY but daily driver that fits in the garage, to see if I like the basics before considering a stand-up cargo van build for full time use and giving up the home (not too handy).
That is the longest honeymoon ever. I hope you Four (Penny ,Abby ) are very happy in the new place. Might I suggest your next vacation? You might like Tennesse water fall loop. Lots of hiking and some lovely spots to explore. Smokey Mountain is nice, and you might see a few black bears. My family and I still enjoy your videos. God bless you guys and your home.
8 months, or sooner, is usually when people quit. I sometimes wish to quit but we are't yet in that better position. We started van life to get away from high rent and rent just keeps going up.
That's so funny. I have the opposite experience after living in a van, I intended to spend 2 days in a camper van I built, 2 days turned into 8 months lol. I am building another van
You're going to love Vancouver. I lived there for nine years before moving to Winnipeg to live with my Girlfriend and her kids. The Basic on Davie Street is a great place for breakfast. And Thida further up Davie has some of the best Thai food in the city. Their green curry is the bomb. And watching the sun set at sunset beach is the absolute best!
@@MorleyKert my pleasure. Great time to be in the Van. I would try to see the celebration of lights if you can, and don't mind large crouds. Starts this Saturday. Three nights of amazing fireworks down at English Bay
Can't wait to see the A/C under the door. I made a 'funnel' to remedy this same type of situation about 10 years ago out of cardboard and PC fans. It worked amazing.
I did the same thing with a window which could only be opened slightly (because we were on the ground floor in a dodgy area) to channel the heat from the portable AC to the outside. 3D printed a customized funnel that worked really well - and which coincidentally convinced my famliy that the 3D printer was more than just an expensive toy. 😅
I am just below you in Washington and come the Vancouver bc pretty often. Also the air conditioned office/closet idea through the bottom of the door leads me with some concerns for you. You need to measure how wide the gap is for each side of the door when it is closed and fully opened so that you don’t run into issues with clearance.
We must be a part of the same hive mind or something. I quit van life around the same time and started renting a huge shop where I can do all the maker stuff I couldn’t do on the road (lord knows I tried). I’ve already got the itch to get back out on the road though. Cursed or blessed… I’m not sure which. Hahaha Also got me a studio apartment that feels like a mansion. lol
Welcome to BC, Im on Van island. been watching you guys since you left Toronto. Love the content. Come say hi and we can 3D Print some stuff. I have the K1 Max and a Ender 3 V2 Neo lol great units. Our family of five are wanting to do the van life so so bad.

Major respect for totally going for it, then finding out you both needed more from life, and landing in a position better than before!

Me too

I genuinely enjoy watching you two together. So glad you found your happy together. Cherish it always and never take it for granted down the road. ❤

8 months is pretty good, most don’t make it 4 weeks.
Yeah i think uprooting your life for 8 months doesnt count as a failure /quitting
"most" = ppl van lifing for fun and not out of necessity lmao
Read this with them shouting that they're pregnant and was confused for a sec 😂
i made it up until "I have to shit in a bucket" came to mind. Yeah imma enjoy my house lol

Hey, look on the bright side. Now you have a nice working RV that you know you'll like and can use.
Regarding the air conditioning of your closet-studio, doors are cheap - you may consider storing the current door, and just making a hole in it as needed (exhaust fan up, maybe 2-3 silent PC fans next to each other pushing the hot air out, and an intake hole down?).

THANKS for saving me the trouble of finding out why they quit. Didn't even watch the vid. This is awesome and time saving!

Good thing is that most of us that enjoy your road experiences will enjoy your building experiences as well. Go for it!
Coming out of the closet was one of the most difficult things in my life. Can't belive you have to do this everytime you leave your studio.
Yeah the door is so finicky lol, I'm bi and was pretty stressed out about getting out of the closet, then I found out my dad was bi.

@@jacksoncurtis6898 I'm happy for you, it's always good when your parents are supportive
Just binge watched your 3D print videos. Great ideas and designs. That hack space is amazing!
You guys killed it! So pumped for more woodworking videos though.
As a person from Calgary, I am mad. No maple syrup for you 🍁🍁🍁🍁

Don't be afraid of edge banding - you can make the edges buttery smooth by using a router to trim the excess and then giving it a quick swipe with a sheet of high grit sandpaper. Have fun!
Vancouver is amazing! The best air and water! It just feels so good to be there!!

Yes, that is a lovely shout out to the Vancouver Hack Space. There are at least a couple more similar spaces in the Greater Vancouver Area.
Full circle! I watched your van videos before and just now happened on your channel looking for how to design plant pots. So neat!
U definitely need a portable air conditioner 😊 I'm in the southern Okanagan Valley and we're about 10 degrees higher than Vancouver
The sound is really fantastic! You are a bit of a genius!, Congratulations from Ecuador!,,

I lived in VANCOUVER for three years and I loved it! It is such a great city!
Ouch! As an Edmontonian, it hurts when even Canadians say there is only 3 major cities in this country
I mean, if you've been to Halifax, Quebec city, Ottawa, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Calgary, or Edmonton, then you'll know what a ridiculous statement that is!
High expectations low rewards. Don’t do it for others, do it for yourself.

Congratulations on your continuing adventures and projects and career choices!!!!!
van life to Van life!
On a side note, I hope Vancouver Hack space is chill with the advertisement. I feel like it can be a bit disruptive if there’s a big sudden inflow of flaky members
from van to vancouver, makes sense
Welcome back to normal life! Returning back to what made your videos good! Looking forward to your future projects!
You're a man of ideas and ideas require space and right condition for develop. Good luck for your future projects man!
Congrats on starting your next phase!
Even if just printing PLA, you don't want to be in that tiny room while printing, unless you create some kind of serious ventilation system. But especially if using ASA or ABS for anything.
I hope the channel grows quickly enough that by this time next year you can get a bigger place. I am assuming you will get used to the studio apartment by then and it may not feel so big anymore.
I got very close to switching to van life a few times, but I have a feeling that I would not have liked needing to be constantly on the move. It's great you got to try it out as long as you did.
Welcome dude! Come spend some time at our Maker Space, Maker Cube. I'll get you started on me.
Great video!! So many great memories and stories from the 8 months of traveling
Thanks Christy!
You made the exact desk I have, bought in TKMaxx for £50 (on sale from £200 as one of the legs was damaged)
Best...Great you went for it, and used all your very handy skills for the van, and listening to what is right for you while keeping the van and getting shop access. I'm starting with a minivan with slow DIY but daily driver that fits in the garage, to see if I like the basics before considering a stand-up cargo van build for full time use and giving up the home (not too handy).
That is the longest honeymoon ever. I hope you Four (Penny ,Abby ) are very happy in the new place. Might I suggest your next vacation? You might like Tennesse water fall loop. Lots of hiking and some lovely spots to explore. Smokey Mountain is nice, and you might see a few black bears. My family and I still enjoy your videos. God bless you guys and your home.
I think i'm speaking for all of us when I say we support your desision.
8 months, or sooner, is usually when people quit. I sometimes wish to quit but we are't yet in that better position. We started van life to get away from high rent and rent just keeps going up.
Now the van is the designated vacation home.
Your chemistry with Eden is the reason I subscribed. You two really balance each other. Can't wait to see what you'll two will do next!
Seeing a Andrew Szeto and Jenna Phipps cameo in the same video? Love it! All these Canadian RUclipsrs I follow colliding!
No surprise here. When I saw the two printers in the van, I knew that it was just a matter of very short time before you found a proper home.
That's so funny. I have the opposite experience after living in a van, I intended to spend 2 days in a camper van I built, 2 days turned into 8 months lol. I am building another van
You're going to love Vancouver. I lived there for nine years before moving to Winnipeg to live with my Girlfriend and her kids. The Basic on Davie Street is a great place for breakfast. And Thida further up Davie has some of the best Thai food in the city. Their green curry is the bomb. And watching the sun set at sunset beach is the absolute best!
Thanks for the recs! Loving the city so far
@@MorleyKert my pleasure. Great time to be in the Van. I would try to see the celebration of lights if you can, and don't mind large crouds. Starts this Saturday. Three nights of amazing fireworks down at English Bay
Can't wait to see what you guys do next!
You should print an upright stand for the AMS, it saves like 40% of the footprint.
Love when listing big cities they skip the capital of canada😂! Love your content, live your best life!
haha but is Ottawa really a big city?
Can't wait to see the A/C under the door. I made a 'funnel' to remedy this same type of situation about 10 years ago out of cardboard and PC fans. It worked amazing.

Can’t wait for future woodworking videos 🔥🔥
I don’t think I’m prepared for a Jenna Phipps collab. That’s hype!
This is a little off-topic, but…did you go to New Orleans during Mardi Gras?
I have a flexispot - really love it!
There’s a big difference between I’m gonna try the van life out. Or I have to because I have no choice.
Can’t wait to see all the new projects you’ll have coming. Love from New Hampshire keep killing it guys!!!!
I’m from New Hampshire!
From Kurt to Kert, welcome to the Pacific Northwest!
Awesome video! Stay blessed!
So instead of travelling for a year anywhere in America - you wanted to work!!! You guys are crazy!
It think I might live in a van when I’m am older it sounds fun😢❤
We must be a part of the same hive mind or something. I quit van life around the same time and started renting a huge shop where I can do all the maker stuff I couldn’t do on the road (lord knows I tried). I’ve already got the itch to get back out on the road though. Cursed or blessed… I’m not sure which. Hahaha
Also got me a studio apartment that feels like a mansion. lol
🗣MORE TABLE SANDING LETS GOOOO
With the fancy lighting like that I'm looking forward to your gaming streams! 😂
Hahaha I haven’t gamed in forever but maybe I need to start again
It was delightful living vicariously through y'all with van life! The hybrid setup seems ideal. Here's to the next chapter in your lives!
i also have a custom ram promaster with the same panels, roof fan, rack, and table lol.
Anyone else find it funny that this video went from talking about why they quit van life to building a desk and making a studio 🤣
A++++++ on the “we’re pregnant!” gag 😂
Dude, great video. But you gotta get Gridfinity up in those desk drawers. It'll change your life.
Best of luck in your next chapter! I'm sure the two of you will thrive up there
Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure with us 🔥
You had a great adventure.
im sorry you find yourself in my city of vancouver, with that said if you ever want to go for a hike or something let me know :p
you can print a edge bander on maker world or printerbales tools section
Who knows maybe you will come back to van life when the time comes.
Ben?! Ben is so great 😀 😊
