How climbing made me move into a van

- The van is finally finished and it's time to live the dream. With that comes of course a few set backs, and in today's video I briefly talk about what that is. Other than that there's also a throwback to my most memorable ascents throughout the years, and a brief summary of the stories behind them.

I think in the normal type of video where you just see people climbing and sending climbs (or failing), you rarely get the emotional dimension of this sport. That's why I loved this video so much! It shows a new side of climbing and what it really means to you.
Dude sounds like a super tough end of 2021. All the best for the new year. Car breaking down and getting robbed sounds like every van-dweller's Nr.1 and Nr.2 worst nightmares.
I watch quite a bit of climbing/bouldering content on youtube and no one is as inspiring and motivating as you. Thank you for the amazing content
Yeah, same here. This chanel was my introduction to bouldering and It honestly changed my life. I now follow dozens of climbing related youtube chanels but none feel as familiar and close as this one (also Eric's for obvious reasons).
me too for sure
Hey Emil, I've been following you for quite some time. Big F for being robbed, tough end to 2021. I wish you all the best for the new year. Your videos are super inspiring and well-produced, and if being kind of a full-time youtuber is fun for you, I'd love to see your content pop up in my sub box more often, just makes me happy.
Greetings from Germany,
Kalle
Heyo mate, just wanted to say thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Your reaction during that flash! Priceless!
Amazing stuff man, I've cried watching several of those videos of yours.
Love how you want to do the things just how you wany and work hard to do them right, just now realising this doesn't only apply to your climbing but goes way beyond that. Great work, excited for van review
Thanks mate for the compliment, I appreciate that!
Happy 2022 Emil sorry to hear about your break in . Looking forward to your future posts I enjoy them very much . your love of climbing comes across very strongly and this old man can relate to that....
Great that you and Cordi are finally living your dream good luck for the next year,
So stoked for the future vids. Your channel represents what we want, a dude who loves climbing and I just wanna keep on getting stronger just like you have throughout the years.
Personal and unique touch, love this
Can’t wait to see the vids that come out of this trip! Excited for you and Cordelia.
I'm sorry that you're year ended with your things being stolen. But, I really like your videos and you're gonna have a huge 2022! Keep making great videos :)
Climbing is definitely more than just a sport. It is a way to connect to the world, to nature, to people and to oneself in the most intense way.
Commenting just to support the vid and push the YT algorithm. Thanks for the content and have fun in the van
We could always use some more Emil in our lives. You keep the stoke high for those of us who aren't at that elite level (yet?). Excited to watch your videos in the coming months!
Great video as always! The passion you have brings much psyche to us all
You got my support. Here’s to many more sends! Cheers mate
Sorry to hear about all the bullshit you guys have gone through. The van looks absolutely incredible. I can't imagine the work that went into it. I'm excited for upcoming vids of you guys climbing and vanning through europe. Keep em coming and THANK YOU!
Best of luck for this year 2022 Emil!!
Your hard work will sure bring some new and intresting climb for you.
Loved the video, keep crushing fam!
My man, I love you. You're just such a beautiful soul.
Infectious good vibes just poured out this video. Climbing obviously means much more than 'just sending'. Glad you decided to share your journey. I wish you and your friends all the best for the weeks and months to come. Take care and enjoy (van) life ;)
Good vibes and glad you can focus on the positives! Really cool to see the van and excited for your next video!
Insane , you made me tear up at the beginning . I am 18 and you uäare so fucking inspring .just thanks
Congrats on finishing the van!
I am glad that you are finally out and climbing from the van. Sorry that you had such shitty things happen at the beginning of your van life but, glad you seem to be enjoying things as you move past those initial negative events.
lovely video, hope you have a lot of fun travelling through europe climbing!
cant wait to watch your guys adventures happy new year!
It was very inspiring to see you climb the day before yesterday 💪 makes me wanna get stronger. Keep up the great videos
This is the best video I’ve watched this year.😏😏😏 seriously good video
Heaps of stoke off this video!! Just wanted to note how interesting it is that you have looked so much damn stronger in those later sends! Props to you Emil and keep sending, keen to see the new vids!!
Thanks for the psych!
Looking forward to the content that is coming up! Take care and have fun :)
You're so incredibly inspiring Emil, can't wait to see all the cool stuff you're gonna upload!! Keep your head up:)
That's a rather grim Christmas, but it's good to see you two are getting things underway. :-)
P.s. I wish I could like this video twice!
Stealing is such a low move... So sorry!! I'm glad that not everything was in the van! And I can't wait to follow your adventures!!!
I absolutely loved the "V2 in your gym, bro" at 11:45
Good luck Emil and stay safe! Looking forward for new videos 💪
This vibe this Video has is just perfect
would've loved to see a van conversion process video! I want to try self-build a campervan myself too and I have no clue where to start...
Cant wait for the Font vids to start dropping! Keep up the good positive vibes and remeber not all vids have to be sends. We love seeing strugle and the process behind as well =) Hopefully you had insurance for stolen stuff and good to see you already laughing it out!
Sorry you had such a crappy end to the year. All the best to you both for 2022.
"Being robbed was boring" 😂
Loved the video, hope to see more of this :3
Maybe a tip for you’re lighting in the van. The first part where you sit on the bed with you’re laptop has such a harsh light comming from beneath you which is’nt that flattering.
If you shine a light to a white cloth or big paper you hang to the ceiling might be a much nicer solution.
Did you stopped at a climbing gym or crag in belgium?
God damn does that suck! All the best Emil!
Great video Emil, gives me lots of inspiration! The music on the crux move at 14:00 sounded like Hans Zimmer ;)
Duuude that’s intense:( Sending good vibes👍
Great video 💥💥💥
A new Emil-video is some great New Years present.
You've finished the van and already had enough bad luck to fill seven years, congratulations! Happy times are coming and I'm grateful that you are planning to share them (:
your living your dream!
I'm looking for a van rn too, Yosemite is calling
1:20 hope you got properly reimbursed for that!
Man I absolutely love watching you climb! I don't meet a lot of people that just love the movement of climbing as much as I do, but you are on a whole other level. I love it! I want to climb with you guys so bad.
That's bullshit you got robbed on Christmas. People can be really shitty. Glad they didn't get everything.
Start a go-fund me page for replacing some of the stolen gear. I know I'd be glad to help. I always enjoy watching your videos. I am super excited to see all the new videos coming if you're going in full time now. I think you were made for this. Can't wait! 🤘😆 Let's freaking gooo!
hey off topic question but whered you get that jacket/jumper your wearing in the video? It looks really nice and comfortable.
psyched for 2022 and you doing youtube full time! loved the concept of the vide, however, pretty surprised EKB doesn't get mentioned as an influential part of your journey and a wideboyz crack dyno does lmfao, hope y'all are still homies
Haha damn that's a very fair point actually. Eric deserves all the credit I can give a man, in hindsight I really wish I'd mentioned him in the video. He's always been there, a part of it all. We're still great homies, love the man to death
please make a closeup shot of the holds when you climb outdoors to show how hard it really is. Indoors its pretty easy to see how hard a route is but outdoors not.
great work!
Great Video, keep going!!
Stoked for more videos, but I'm sorry the new year began in such a shit way. Wishing you guys the best.
Can we have a van tour please? 🙏🏼 💜
Now you have a van will you drive to Albarracin?
Plans to get back on the big island anytime soon ?
HES BACKKKKKK
Are you coming to the UK?
Haha crack-dynon i Solna.. det är så man bryter handlederna :S
Såg sjukt läskigt ut!
Brilliant
hey Emil,
just let me know if you want to go for a Bouldering trip in Germany (Frankenjura) Would love to Climb with you guys and show you my main Climbingspot :)
You are going to magic wood to do never ending story right?
It looks a lot like "New base line" and if I'm right that makes me kinda happy, because I wrote in a comment about a year or 2 ago, just after Linda Sjodin did it, that I would love to see you try that out. So am I finally getting my wish? :D
Wishful thinking unfortunately, the boulder is called l'apparement! But New Base Line is on the list for when we get to magic woods. Definitely wanna give it some tries :)
@@EmilAbrahamsson ahh well then you got two comments for the algo ;) Love your outside stuff, so I'll be watching them both anyway. Oh! And happy new year to the both of you. :)
Van tour when?
Catching up on some missed Emil videos and the message at the start was pretty heavy duty. You don't have a patreon or anything that we can sub to? Getting robbed for all that stuff sucks and if you're going full time on RUclips, then I think there'd be a good amount of us here who would be willing to be patreons to you. Just a thought. Take it easy guys and thanks for the awesome videos xx
Hey, first off thanks a ton for the support and for saying so, I truly appreciate it.
I’ve been debating with myself weather to start a patreon or not and I still haven’t fully decided. Since the release of this video I’ve also managed to spill water on my editing laptop. I was lucky and it survived with only some minor damages, but I think if decides to say goodbye forever a patreon might be the next step to make things work financially. For now, all I can say is thanks for offering, it truly means a lot knowing there are supporters out there!
L‘apparemment 🙏🏼🤙🏼

Thieves will steal anything. Someone broke into my first car, and that cost me about 700 euros. All it took was a pair of sunglasses left visible inside, and that was it. They even stole a sweater from my old job which I don't really understand why someone would want lol. Anyhow, from now on all it is to it is to remove anything of importance/value inside, and open up any compartment/glovebox so you can see from the outside that there is nothing to steal(yeah I know it's harder to do with the rear of that van because there's no windows, so just remove valuables every single time is just needed).
Same goes for bicycles as well. Every single bicycle I've owned has been stolen except the one's I keep inside my home. If it can be stolen, it will... Sadly.
Anyhow, life does go on and it can happen to anyone.
Firstly- thank you a lot 💚 for suuuuch an inspirational content, have been watching you for year’s
and secondary- I have a bit weird question: what happened to your middle finger on your right hand?👀
Thanks a ton for watching!
Haha I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I'm guessing it's the size? I've had a broken finger in the past and it's been swollen for almost a decade now :P Got a kick on it when playing soccer
@@EmilAbrahamsson really appreciate that you take your time to answer the comments, that’s really cool ∪•ᴥ•∪
Exactly. I meant a bump (which I also earned from a hit/kick but with a hammer😅). Have you ever felt any pain or discomfort while climbing due to it?
@@polinakostenevich3088 actually a fair bit, it’s stopped me from climbing several times throughout the years :/ I’ve tried to get medical help but there never seemed to be much to be done. Nowadays I’m not too bothered by it though!
@@EmilAbrahamsson sounds very unpleasant (facing same troubles now…), but in a sense it inspires optimism, because this didn’t stop your achievements in the end of the day 💪🏻
can't wait to see your new videos, hope to see lots of interesting bouldering from Cordi as well (* ˊᵕˋ *)
wishing you in this New Year - even more incredible send’s on some Legendary climbs and full of emotions(as happened with that 8a😂)tremendous flashes🤙🏻
P.S. started climbing after watching your video’s, for what I cannot thank you enough 🙏😊love u from a small european country called Belarus)
Sorry your stuff was nicked, I think the emotional hit is bigger than the loss of stuff. Any practical lessons learned from the theft? I'm in the (slow, very slow) process of converting my van so any top tips to make it more secure would be appreciated...
Hey mate! We’re looking into different solutions and have some that feel good for the side door and back door. Really basic but essentially just a bolted metal thing + a solid adjustable strap. For the front door we’re thinking of having like a metallic chain that locks the two different doors to each other
Thanks very much- simple sounds good! If you come up with anything clever please give it a little mention in an upcoming video… 😉
Enjoy van/climbing life!! 💪💪💪
Did you guys find the thief?
I love Cordi's behind the camera enjoyment of Emil's successes. We could all dream of having such a great partner.
where do u park up and sleep in it though? if u try taht in the uk probs get robbed
We're quite off grid and the van is very stealthy, so the few people who walk by wouldn't think to break in during the night :) or.. so far anyways :P
Awesome plans!! Practical question: if you are of the grid, how do you guys arrange shower and toilet? Keep the good content coming!
Someone should put together a fundraiser for you
Really introspective and enjoyable video. Bet it was cathartic for you.
Weirdly cathartic actually, I came out of the van feeling completely different
Weirdly cathartic actually, I came out of the van feeling completely different
You chalked all the holds? This didn’t count
Can you make some vanlife with Cordi and Emil shirts or hoodies? I’ve been following both of your progress and watching your videos for a long time now and you guys are truly inspiring! Sorry that all that stuff happened to you guys, 2020 is your year. Wife and I would love to represent in the climbing gym with your merch though! ❤️
2:30 = L'Apparemment
cool
Apremont 8A
lucky man. id kill to live in a van and climb all the time
Where do we donate money? So we can make up for the f**kers that stole your stuff.
An incredibly kind offer, I really appreciate it. For now I'm doing okay enough money-wise, so as long as nothing else gets stolen I should be good. Gotta say though, it feels really good to hear you've got my back!
@@EmilAbrahamsson I’d rather the community have the option to get you back to the equipment you had spent your hard earned cashed on and I selfishly want the content I enjoy watching to be as you want it to be.

Thieves are the worst kind of people, taking things and then going off with no concern for how they might have potentially ruined someones life.
Indeed, it’s sad to think about even
