I think a major takeaway from this movie, actually a lot of Van's movies, is that surrounding ourselves with other spirited and inspiring people is an important part of advancing one's life in a proper direction. Very excited to get to know about Claudia and I hope Shelly makes more appearances.
Every time I watch one if these videos I end up fixing or improving something around my house. So far I've fixed a gate, a sink, made some new tool storage, and ran a new air line in my garage. You're a good influence.
I watch these videos. Fully engaged as he fixes a air hose. A task I have done countless times. I get fully lost in the cadence of his voice, the cinematic shots. Fully involved in these little tasks and then he turns the corner so masterfully bringing it all together. I doubt I worded that properly but he is a genius
he reminds of Mark Cousins a little bit, he has a way of storytelling his clips/movies/documentaries that it's soooo relaxing to me, I can't even explain it
Only channel I instantly click on when a video pops up, thank you for a different out look on life, let’s me take a step back every now and then and get a good picture of or a better one atleast
You're fucking kidding me. How is this such a perfect RUclips channel and video and yet the first time I've seen anything like this. You spirited man....you've inspired me in the most mindblowing way.
Cheers to Shelly and to setting the right standards. Side note...at 2:18...I have that exact same parts drawer unit. It belonged to my favorite Spirited Man, my Dad, years ago in his workshop. He's gone from this world way too soon and set the standard for so much of what my life has become. Excellent film Van. Thank you.
After I watch Van's videos, it always takes me a few minutes to reconnect to reality. Not many videos on RUclips get me to stop and think about what I just experienced. Each time, man. What a talented man.
I’d bet that he never will. Casey has 10 years of time up his sleeve (that is hard to beat) and Van’s work is much less main stream/RUclips than Casey.
This Spirited Man thinks these videos are next level ASMR. They calm the soul, inspire and delivery some useful guidance in our busy world. Thanks Van.
Van, I think you've transmitted this emotion artfully. I felt tears of joy when you said Shelly is the type of man you want to be. What a reward to be Shelly and watch this video. This entire channel is a master-stroke. Well done sir. Keep making things for us, we need it.
„Well, well, well … my goodness!“ True and deeply felt admiration from the spirited man, that sees quality made tools as the only way to become a free soul. Swissmade = can‘t go wrong with these …
You said something in this video that was quite nice and made my eyes swell a bit. "He doesn't need these tools, he has them because well he's a spirited man". My wife wonders aloud why I have and collect tools. Now I have a very simple answer. Thank you.
Watching your videos puts a smile on my face. Leaves me feeling mildly refreshed and upbeat. And sometimes talking... In a manner similar to your own... 😁
In your videos every second has meaning and purpose. It was a pleasant surprise for me to skip 30 seconds, and realize I have to start from the beginning.
Man, these Neistat Brothers do have a gift. Little by little, same passion is arising as the one that was born when I first started watching Casey.... Hope you contact me when traveling through HONDURAS.
This channel is going to blow up. This is all gold. I struggle every day to not copy your style. It's so simple, straightforward, and elegant. Keep up the good work. You deserve every new subscriber you get.
The story telling! There isnt anything like it left on RUclips. Just when we are left with over grown children with too much money and less than honorable intentions. When gossip channels are the standards of moral compass...and Casey Neistat leaves the field to raise his children and have a life. One man , a spirited man rises from the ashes, to show what real creativity looks like. How shorts can look a complete movie in a few moments. Leaving people like me, wishing for more. Inspired. Truly inspired.
Nicely put. It takes quite a bit of sifting through the crap on the platform to find the gems. Fortunately, I discovered Casey Neistat about 7 years ago and watched his vlog religiously every day. Now that he has moved on to a new chapter, I am in a very happy place having his older brother Van take the reins. Him and Tom Sachs are among the few channels I watch these days.
One of the only reasons I enjoy RUclips is that sometimes I find people like you and Casey, the real visionaries of today! People that you wish you could chat with over coffee or lunch and get more of their perspective on life! Such a great series Van!! Keep going, please and thank you! Mike
"...the kind of man, he hopes with work, he can one day be himself." ??? No, you are that spirited man, just the younger version. Teach on Spirited Man.
It is incredible how much inspiration I get from your video just by looking up and digging deeper into all this little pieces of information you share! Thank you!
WHY DID I THINK THE SOUND OF THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE VIDEO WAS NATURAL?!?!? Its all added on "ambiance" background music, but it just sounds so natural with the pacing, and FEEL of the video that i just assumed it was always there. I never noticed the bird chirping throughout the entire video before because., . . it just fit. It seemed so natural. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous
What a gorgeous story that was. Pacing, flawless; journey, winding; multiple plot points, all pointing towards the conclusion, all without seeming to do so until you "wrapped it up"; a courageous and heartfelt hero, accompanied by the humble storyteller; and (a detail that I appreciated greatly after I pondered for a minute) some time to think about it and look forward to the next video to finish it off. Bravo
You have the best videos on RUclips. I rarely ever comment on anything. Your work compelled me to write a thank you. You are inspiring. Thank you for sharing your creations.

Spirited Man Sweatshirts: spiritedman.com
Cool
I ordered mine on the 23rd and still haven't heard anything! So stoked though!
Can you sell the stickers and patches
Do some spirited man workwear, like real spirited workwear
This Spirited Man is waiting for the T-Shirt.
Van, You are setting the standard for a lot of people.
So you can say Shelly does
Why? You don’t know anything about him . Don’t idolize people
@@davidm5790 Waiting to chastise Nathan, after you have caught Nathan with a statue of Van, might be more appropriate. That is only my OPINION.
A really really high standard
He sure is.
I’m pleasantly surprised to see the quiet cadence of these videos be so entertaining
I agree. It is a nice difference from the seemingly loud, fast and attention grabbing nature of online content these days
Fantastic story telling. Spirited story telling.
Yep. Van has it dialed in.
Excellent observation and very true. These videos tell a story in a way many don’t have the patience for these days.
@Alaska Pirates wow, and your critique is valid because why? I checked your videos and they are shit. Mine are worse but yours are still shit.
I think a major takeaway from this movie, actually a lot of Van's movies, is that surrounding ourselves with other spirited and inspiring people is an important part of advancing one's life in a proper direction. Very excited to get to know about Claudia and I hope Shelly makes more appearances.
Never ever have I considered purchasing the so-called "merch" of any RUclipsr, etc. This Spirited Man would wear a Spirited Man T-Shirt proudly.
@@idontwantoneify Best to prepare.
That makes two of us - and most likely more
Same! Ordered mine!!
I'll take the set of Swiss screw drivers
Every time I watch one if these videos I end up fixing or improving something around my house. So far I've fixed a gate, a sink, made some new tool storage, and ran a new air line in my garage.
You're a good influence.
the problem is I want a motorcycle now so it's a double edged influence lol.
@@souslesbombesa motorcycle AND a classic Toyota truck!
How this guy keeps cranking out quality content every week is beyond me.
A deep well.
He's a Neistat. Neistat's are legendary content makers.
I think I remember hearing doesn't watch RUclips. I bet that helps. Always making instead of consuming.
This is what I call, "A Story within a Story." Well done.
Yeah! He's so good at weaving plotlines into one another...all the videos end up being connected.
The tools carried in to Shelly's is like some kind of religious procession to the shrine of the air compressor.
Favorite RUclips channel currently
Ayyy same
Me too 😲
same
same. favorite ever actually. It has eclipsed any others from the first video.
simply can't get enough
"Claudia is Shelly's wife, and the love of his life."
Mr Van is making me have peace, finally, with my functioning obsessive compulsive quality. Thanks!
I watch these videos. Fully engaged as he fixes a air hose. A task I have done countless times. I get fully lost in the cadence of his voice, the cinematic shots. Fully involved in these little tasks and then he turns the corner so masterfully bringing it all together. I doubt I worded that properly but he is a genius
he reminds of Mark Cousins a little bit, he has a way of storytelling his clips/movies/documentaries that it's soooo relaxing to me, I can't even explain it
shelly is a badass and will always be a badass because he's rollin in the lil red express
What a lovely dedication for declaring who has set the standard.
Only a true artist can make the mundane, beautiful.
Each and everyone one of these videos is just that. Beautiful.
WHY AM I CRYING can’t take this, too much beauty
Every video is pure beauty
A tool box as art
This impractical tool “box” brings a smile to my face
Only channel I instantly click on when a video pops up, thank you for a different out look on life, let’s me take a step back every now and then and get a good picture of or a better one atleast
ha ha! I thought I was the only one who "tricked" FCP10 like that!!! My trick shot is a sunset from 2014. I never tire of seeing it.
Wow. I'm pleased as hell to see you here, but also not terribly surprised.
I dominate because of The Lawn Care Nut!! Love Ya!!
The spirited man of lawn care, right here folks. keepin my lawn green since '16.
I'm a simple man. I see spirited man post a video, I click
Daaaang ! "Shelly, is the standard" loved it man...
That Werner Herzog pic is the best humblebrag I've seen in a while lmao
I don’t care about how to fix an air compressor hose but I watch this video anyway because Van makes it interesting no matter what it’s about!
The Shelly standard, i love it
Every video is like reading a profound book that changed your life in some positive way or fashion.
It’s absolutely remarkable.
That Lil Red Express is a piece of art itself.
For sure !
You're fucking kidding me. How is this such a perfect RUclips channel and video and yet the first time I've seen anything like this. You spirited man....you've inspired me in the most mindblowing way.
Shelly reminds me of my grandfather, who set the standard for me. I lost him November 2012. Keep making these beautiful videos
And this is a tribute. Well played.
Cheers to Shelly and to setting the right standards. Side note...at 2:18...I have that exact same parts drawer unit. It belonged to my favorite Spirited Man, my Dad, years ago in his workshop.

"with work" - I appreciate your humility Van
I love these videos. They make me happy and give me hope for humanity.
Makes me want to create my own too.
Van is the kind of RUclipsr I turn off Ad Blocker for
How long until Van surpasses Casey in views? Pure genius brother.
Frankly who cares. It's about quality not quantity.
1 year
I’d bet that he never will. Casey has 10 years of time up his sleeve (that is hard to beat) and Van’s work is much less main stream/RUclips than Casey.
@@ArmchairExplainers xactly
Van and Casey appeal to different viewership.
Elevating quality of RUclips one video at a time.
This Spirited Man thinks these videos are next level ASMR. They calm the soul, inspire and delivery some useful guidance in our busy world. Thanks Van.
It’s so great to see how you admire the way Shelly treats his wife. It’s indeed an admirable trait.
The story telling is outside of this world! such a hidden gem this channel
These quiet Spirited Man videos are just so complete.
Van, I think you've transmitted this emotion artfully. I felt tears of joy when you said Shelly is the type of man you want to be. What a reward to be Shelly and watch this video. This entire channel is a master-stroke. Well done sir. Keep making things for us, we need it.
5:30 “You know why?” I really thought he was gonna say “because he is a spirited dog.”
1:48 Funny. I built a model of the Lil Red Express Truck when I was a kid.
These are the only RUclips videos I watch uninterrupted, beginning to end. Thanks Van.
Please, do not ever stop sharing your story. Thanks for this one. I always walk away with something to work on.
You bring clarity to the obscure, in an entertaining and relaxing way.
The little red express!!! That was my dream truck when I was a teenager
„Well, well, well … my goodness!“
True and deeply felt admiration from the spirited man, that sees quality made tools as the only way to become a free soul. Swissmade = can‘t go wrong with these …
You said something in this video that was quite nice and made my eyes swell a bit. "He doesn't need these tools, he has them because well he's a spirited man". My wife wonders aloud why I have and collect tools. Now I have a very simple answer. Thank you.
What a beautiful story. I imagine Shelly will be deeply touched by the sentiment.
You, and Shelly, give me hope for mankind.
That red truck... I need one! But in Sweden were I live they are extremly rare.
Watching your videos puts a smile on my face. Leaves me feeling mildly refreshed and upbeat. And sometimes talking... In a manner similar to your own... 😁

1:48 my dad had one of those trucks when i was kid, i remember climbing on the back.
“Well well well myyy goodness,” delightful! 👍🧡💚
I knew Van was cool, but didn’t realize he was direct-Ed-Ruscha kinda cool. I’m pretty sure my jaw hit the floor. What an amazing short film.
These are always charming. No need for the fancy cameras and editing, the story does the talking. Love it.
This channel is going to blow up. This is all gold. I struggle every day to not copy your style. It's so simple, straightforward, and elegant. Keep up the good work. You deserve every new subscriber you get.
Van, you and the people who you show in your films are an inspiration.
Breath of fresh air on this platform. Really glad I was recommended this channel.
Van: I've been watching your stuff for a few months now. This one is some of your best work. Kudos.
The story telling!
There isnt anything like it left on RUclips.
Just when we are left with over grown children with too much money and less than honorable intentions. When gossip channels are the standards of moral compass...and Casey Neistat leaves the field to raise his children and have a life.
One man , a spirited man rises from the ashes, to show what real creativity looks like. How shorts can look a complete movie in a few moments. Leaving people like me, wishing for more.
Inspired. Truly inspired.
You couldn't have explained it any better for ppl like us
Nicely put. It takes quite a bit of sifting through the crap on the platform to find the gems. Fortunately, I discovered Casey Neistat about 7 years ago and watched his vlog religiously every day. Now that he has moved on to a new chapter, I am in a very happy place having his older brother Van take the reins. Him and Tom Sachs are among the few channels I watch these days.

Sometimes when I watch the videos you make I get really emotional. Thank you for instilling emotion.
Your videos calms me
This channel is about to become an all-time favorite of mine. Time for storytelling, Time for Slowtube. Love it.
"...the kind of man, he hopes with work, he can one day be himself." ??? No, you are that spirited man, just the younger version. Teach on Spirited Man.
Watching this make me feel like I am a complete loose in life can't fix anything and this guy can bring life back in people.
I believe the Spirited Man is a storytelling genius. Obviously it runs in the family.
This is like Wes Anderson Meets RUclips. I love it.
This was a story about gratitude and it made me a little emotional.
Terrific edit. I really enjoyed the rhythm of the storyline. It feels like a timeless work of art.
This is becoming my favourite channel. I think it's important. I think it's special.
Greetings from South Africa, Van.🤗
Hard to choose a favorite Spirited Man video as they are all classics in my mind, but I think this one takes the cake for me so far.
I like that this Spirited Man is also an Inspiring Man. Thank you.
nice to see Van smile
something about that music struck a chord with me. loved this one.
This video made me cry. Why?...Talent brother, talent. Thanks!
He's totally right about those Swiss tools. I used those same model drivers when I used to fix sewing machines for a living. There's nothing like 'em.
It is incredible how much inspiration I get from your video just by looking up and digging deeper into all this little pieces of information you share! Thank you!
Van, you and Casey have just inspired a whole new generation of creators, artists, thinkers and visionaries. So grateful to be a part of this journey!
Man, watching these videos are pure joy.
I feel blessed. Van Neistat!, you genius! (Never getting tired of this)
Bravo on another great one. I even sat there through the black screen of silence until the very end...waiting like an encore.
Amazingly simple, yet brilliant story telling....
Crazy how fast he’s pumping these out
Casey neistat posting everyday for a couple years wants to have a word with you.
It’s in the neistat blood
This spirited man would love a video all about that Lil' Red Express. This spirited man put together a model of that truck when he was a spirited boy.
I watch these videos because they give me hope and a standard of storytelling that I aspire to.
Every time I’m like “I wonder when Van will post another video?”, BOOM, a new video alert 🙌🏽🌝📺
6:28 Werner Herzog was such a big meme in Germany because of his English pronunciation in an interview about chicken stuff LOL
Beautifully told, shot, and lived. Thank you.
What an artist. Every video is hypnotic.
WHY DID I THINK THE SOUND OF THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE VIDEO WAS NATURAL?!?!?

You are an incredible storyteller. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
This is amazing. I need a monthly video on Shelley, Claudia, and Mack.
What a gorgeous story that was.
