Way to go Brian! We're with you in what ever you decide to do. I really enjoy all of your videos and always to forward to them. Keep up the great work.
I have been truly inspired by you Brian; by all your challenges and adventures, and how you have handled your vanlife with solid good intentions and a positive attitude. Thank you for sharing the great moments and even the difficult times too. Can't say thanks enough for the inspiration and motivation.
Hi Brian: Glad to hear you have made your decision.... and IMO, I think it's the better choice. After all, your van IS you... you made it, and made it your own. We will all be glad to follow your adventures as they continue.
hi Brian and thank you for taking time out of your day to share a video with us. You were one of my original inspirational creators that lead me into van life. Thank you for that. One of the best moves ive ever made. I kept my house and I use it as a base but my cargo stealth van allows me to travel and stay in expensive areas and do it for free. If you are watching Brians videos let me give you some friendly advice.... Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth. Watch and learn from this nice man and other creators like him. And for God sake go have some damn fun
Great decision. Best to appreciate what you have instead of forever seeking what you think you want, often to be only disappointed. I really respect you - you are an inspiration.
Congrats on making a decision, Brian! I've done that kind of thing many a time--I once moved to San Francisco thinking it was the place for me--I only lasted 11 months, but had I not done it, I'd never have known and would always wonder :)
It is always a huge relief when you face a big decision that is agonizing and you are finally comfortable with a choice and just going with it with confidence. Congratulations, now it's time to just pick up where you left off and fly with it. You would have made either decision the right decision, but, having things in limbo does create stress in life. Now you can just relax and live life.
Love that you are creating music, something about playing music is challenging and soothing at the same time. I'll be waiting to see how you re-configure the van.
Congrats man! 3 yrs! very inspirational considering that this april, my wife and I along with our two dogs are headed out to see the country in our truck camper, to explore a new way of life. Videos like this is honestly what kept such an amazing dream in my head through all the saving, planning, and overtime it took, We owe you a big thank you for showing us that this is a very accomplishable goal!
Diana Long ....yes I had a native flute that was specially made for me with wolf carvings and paw prints years ago and I felt like I was supposed to gift my friend Gail with it. She loved it and played it like a pro.
Hay Brain, Itz Paula we met last summer at Twin Lakes in S.D - I love what your continuing to do with your lifestyle and wish you the very best health, happiness and joy!
You sound happy. and confident with your lifestyle. We should all take stock of our lives but it takes courage to make change. Thanks Brian for sharing your journey.
Totally cool Bro... I live in a really small apartment, and am a fair bit older, but your observations and advise are timeless and have helped this old fart. Thank you, and much success in your journey.
Can't wait to see the new conversations! I enjoy watching your channel and learning about the van-lifestyle. Hoping that one day I can live like that as well. The simplicity and the rent free aspect is what I want in my future! Good luck with your upcoming adventures!
WOW! what a great video! How uplifting. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, when you post these types of videos, I feel renewed in spirit. Thank you, fellow human, for sharing part of your soul. :)
I've downsized a lot, but yours looks like a wonderful life. Recently found your channel. Working my way through your videos. Hope you have many, many more years of wonderful adventures.
Great idea Brian. Make sure to update/inspect the running gear to keep the "Ole girl" safe! Really enjoy following your adventures. Fingers crossed that you unload that other van fast! Be safe! Dan
Nice anniversary reflection Brian. That Toyota Dolphin looked sweet! Its great to think it through....live it and decide through sincere introspection what is the best fit for our lives. Thank you for sharing that process with us via video. Looking forward to seeing your renovation! Exciting! Happy 3rd Anniversary!
Brian, we love ya buddy! Congrats on 2nd. and/or 3rd. anniversary! Thanks so much for taking us all along on your van adventures too. I'm glad that you have resolved the two van issue and put that to rest. Now on to the current van makeover!
i got the feeling that you are totally happy in your decisions. and that is what really counts. YOUR DECISION. I'M glad to see your new awakening. I'm behind you 100%. peace!
Hey Brian, I've been watching your video's since last winter in NH, and you have been a real inspiration for me. And this video really has a lot of info I find valuable. I left NH in June, drove out to Show Low Arizona where my parents live, sold the car I drove out in and scored a really nice Dodge Van a few weeks ago, a real clean Arizona rig. Now I'm converting it over to a full time living space for me while staying at my parents house. It's almost done, for now anyway. I'm going to the Van gathering at Lake Havasu November 1st as a first test run and see how it goes and what else I need to do or change. Then my next trip will be the RTR, and by then I hope to be truly full time and have all I need as far as a good set up. I've had Vans most of my life and lived in them before because I had to, now I'm doing it because I want to, totally different feeling. Thanks again for all the info and hope to see you on the road!
I am glad you went back to your intro I like the flute and the logo... good job on the video b roll is well placed. nice exit. I have been watching for a long time... I like your honestly and perseverance. thank you
Im so glad youre keeping your van! You know how it runs and what shape its in. I designed Will Bursons van for a single guy. Maybe that layout will suit you? The swivel chair up front gives a good computer work space. Its always cheaper to gut a van and build anew, than to start from scratch with an unproven van. Cool vid. Thanks for sharing.
love your videos. I dream one day of doing what your doing. Great life. I love the music you play for the videos also. Not too loud and rock style. Smooth sounding. Keep up the good work.
Just stumbled upon your channel. I loved this video! I can’t wait to watch ALL of them! I’m currently transitioning to full time living and traveling in a 2003 Dodge Ram Van 1500 and could use all the help, advice and inspiration I can get. So, thank you for sharing your van life experience!
Go for some swivel seats , I'm building my van where the front seat is a bench seat which turns into a couch that faces the other way that also folds into a bed ,opens up the whole back of the of the van for kitchenette and shower.
great vid Bryan ive been with you for most of this time and think its great the transformation you've made over this time. not many people can keep me interested for this amount of time so you doing something right mate. looking forward to the re design of van keep it up mate great vids and a big thank you from the uk .
Way to "surrender to the flow" Brian. I'm in the same boat you were in. Too much rent and not enough time to enjoy life. I'm in the planning process of switching over to the van life. Im hoping within the next year I make make van life a reality. Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm really enjoying your videos and how you present them. I follow 5 different van/RV dwellers and enjoy all. keep up the good work and best to you. looking forward to next video!
I like that you are going with your gut feeling! I like the other van for the fact you could somewhat stand but if your current van is working for you then that is the best way to go. It will be nice to get that van sold and have your emergency money built back up. I look forward to seeing how you change things around in your van. Thank you for sharing and taking us on your journey!

Awesome outro! I give Brian credit for having the guts to go on adventures and get out there on the open road.

Thank you for this! I want to do this in late summer , set up my music studio and play shows all over the US.

Hi, my name is Brian and I am awesome! 😎 Thank you for being an inspiration and a friend.

Very inspiring. I’m putting a camper van together and I’m excited to get in that life . Thank you.
