- Update June 26, 2024. Kelly and I split up and I took a summer job in Colorado.
Kelly's latest video... • My Mom Died. Why I am ...
Kelly's old van tour... • Kelly's DIY Camper Van
*My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
Thanks for watching!
**Follow Your Dreams*
So sorry, brother. Your grace in handling the separation speaks volumes to your character.
Truth
Great comment!
😢
My husband and I will take Hobbs. We are an elderly couple in Albuquerque with a home and backyard and an elderly small dog.
Hobbs doesn’t do well with other dogs 🐕
@@heather482He might be just fine with small older dog. He really needs a wonderful forever home. Feel bad for sweet old Hobbs.
So sorry to hear about you and Kelly! I agree with you about how sweet of a person she is. I could see that in the brief time we met at Ichetucknee Springs Campground during the time you spent finding your box van. Relationships are not easy and I'm glad you have remained friends. Best of luck to you both. See you both in future videos! Char
Albuquerque would be a wonderful place for Hobbs. Good weather. Good elevation. Great location!
Wow that's so nice of you and I'm sure you'll let them visit from time to time.
I'm so glad you haven't buckled to RUclips's recommended methods for increasing clicks. I think their methods are going to backfire on them. As a viewer, I no longer click on thumbnails with fear-mongering clickbait titles. Thanks for being genuine. You are appreciated!
Agree 100%! 👍
Same! I’ll delete channels with thumbnail drama
Hang in there Brian--glad you are still friends with Kelly. Life definitely has its seasons. Your channel is very appreciated.
Such admiration for how you speak about Kelly...Gentleman...Hope you feel better soon :)
A true gentleman for sure!
Agreed
Sorry for your loss. Break ups are a death of sorts. Take time to cry, to heal, and be reborn. Peace and comfort to you. God bless and keep you.
THANK YOU for not doing the clickbait channel thing.. Ive unsubbed to those that did nothing but that.. HUGS Brian, thanks for sharing and look forward to watching your future grow
Sail your ship, Brian. There's always a course ahead and there's what's behind. Keep looking ahead but don't forget where you've been. Best wishes to Kelly!
Appreciate you always being so transparent. We're with you and as usual the adventure continues....
Jesus, was not expecting you to comment on this channel - world's colliding for me
As someone who has been divorced twice and in failed relationships, l can honestly say that after the last 18 or so years of being alone, it's the way to go.
Couldn't agree more. After two marriages that didn't work I have been single for 22 years and I wouldn't change it for anything ❤
This is the way
Amen Brother I'm in the same club
I agree. You just gotta keep it moving!!!
12 and counting after my second wife passed from a brain tumor, haven’t been out on a date since 2019 and could care less as a soon to be 56 year old man who is financially independent.
If your love comes back to you...put a ring on her finger.
I wish you, Kelly and Hobbs all the best! ❤
oh my! hang in there Brian...your authenticity is why there are so many of us long-time subs
This must have been difficult for you to put out there, but you are a strong, honest man. Many of us have met you and appreciate you being willing to share your life. Be well and have a wonderful time in Colorado.
Thank you for the update Brian. It's been a pleasure being a part of your channel. I enjoy the calm reassuring vibe that you produce and put out here for us. I feel like it's a safe place, and that's valuable.
The best of luck to you in this new endeavor. Can't wait to see what it's all about!
I don’t often comment, but I just wanted to say that we watch because your channel is so refreshing and relaxing. Your thoughtfulness shows in every video. I wish you nothing but the best (and Kelly and Hobbes, too!). I know I speak for many when I say that we are looking forward to sharing your road ahead. Wishing you peace and happiness in your journey😊
Much respect for your communicating about Kelly and you in such a bright light. I grew to enjoy the short shy moments of Kelly's appearances. Safe travels
Love the shirt. Life changes. Sorry about Kelly. Stay positive. Take care of yourself 😊😊😊
That shirt is your color.
Being in a relationship in 2024 is next to impossible for most men in my humble opinion.
I agree, most men today are self centered, think their partner is there to serve them and add nothing to the relationship. They think if they have a job thats all they need to do. That doesn't cut it. Most women work and take care of everything around the house, too.
I admire your strength to air this part of your life journey...I could not do it. In 2018, after 38 years of marriage, my wife and I divorced. Without a doubt, the experience was the most difficult and traumatizing event I had been through in my life. Even now I am not "fixed", however, I do not dwell on the negativity associated with it all. My wife and I have now evolved to become the best of friends, much better friends than we ever were. Just about 2 weeks ago, she remarried and I can't say that it did not bother me but I made it known to her that I was happy, if, she was happy, that's all I ever wanted for her. Man, I am so sorry you are going through this, I sincerely feel you, I know your pain and I know you must be struggling to reconcile all that has happened. I would love to tell you that things will get better and all that jazz, but in all honesty, I can't. All I know is you can't dwell on it, nor can you bury it. Simply focus on yourself, do what you think is right for you. You are most inspirational than you know. You exude good character. You produce great content without sensationalism and click bait. I have been consuming your product for many years and look forward to many more years. Your video content has brought me salice over the years, even during the darkest time in my life. One foot in front of the other, stay strong, elevate yourself by continuing your personal growth and ALWAYS keep in mind, your audience is with you 1000%. I am not going to disparage Kelly, nor will I disparage the love of my life, but, I feel fairly confident that the majority of your audience is here because of YOU, your content, your character and integrity as well as your sense of adventure! Keep your chin up, stay strong and focused and good luck with your Colorado gig, it may not be the very best scenario but it's damn sure is located in one the most beautiful places on the planet to rehab and envision your future....enjoy brother and we love you!
Well said. You are gifted with words.
@@suehanchard5582 thank you very much!
Thank you 😊🇦🇺@@jdeaton5093
Maybe the most sincere & direct 17 minutes I’ve ever seen on RUclips. You can’t fake what I hear in your voice.
Well said. 🙏🏽👍🏽💪🏽
Why I watch. People doing what people do are interesting enough for me.
I’m sorry Brian. Take your time and take care.
This was gut wrenching. I’m so sorry Brian. Hope you enjoy the new job.
I’m an old-timer Bryan, been following since your first adventure van. Thank you for sharing and taking me/us along these many years. ❤ Wishing You Kelly, and Hobbs nothing but the best on the journey ahead.

Thank you for the update. I know that even when a breakup is amicable and mutually agreed upon, it is still hard, and there is grief involved. In my experience, grief comes in waves. I am glad you are in nature and are able to take adventures. I hope this will help you heal at just the right pace. Thank you for your channel!
You are the best Vantuber out there. Thanks for sharing all these years. We have seen so much change since you started.
Brian. My screen name has changed over the decade. Still here. Sending you love and happiness. I am sorry to hear about the break up. Big hugs to you both. Hobs too. ❤
PS: I love you more.
Thanks for the update Brian.......best wishes to you ..Kelly and Hobbs going forward. 👍👍🇬🇧
Brian, any break up is tough. You and Kelly seem to have kindred spirits. You will find what you need in your life my friend. All the best to you and Kelly.
Brian, i met you once by chance at a McDonalds in Arizona. I have been a follower and admirer of your content for over five years. Wish you the best.
Depression has no mercy. Sure hope you can find healing, I can see it all over your face. Good luck sir 🙏
I think I can speak for all of your subscribers, we are always happy to see another new video by AdventureVanMan, going through the end of a long-term relationship is always rough but eases up with the passage of time, just know that your viewers are always here for you , and truly appreciate your awesome videos ,looking foward to following your next adventures in Colorado !!
Sorry to hear 😢
I'm rooting for your personal and professional success.
So sorry, Brain, my heart and prayers go out to you and for you. Much love and peace, Brother. Please hang in there. Lots of faithful views are rooting for you!
Brian, I care very deeply about you and I'm so very sorry 😔❤. My heart hurts for you 💔. I will be praying for you even more now. It's so hard losing someone you love. Hugs!!! 🫂
Friends forever!!! ❤
Sorry to hear the news about you and Kelly. You are both mature, intelligent and insightful people who know what is best for your relationship. May God bless you both and keep you under his protection.
No advice, no platitudes, just thanks for sharing Brian. Looks like you're figuring it out... 🙏
Your genuineness and openness are such a breath of fresh air. I greatly appreciate your intentions in creating videos and will always be a subscriber because of it.
I wish you peace and healing and am hoping this video gives you some level of help through your grieving process.
Been a viewer for a long time. I remember back when you did valve guide seals on an engine while working at a x-mas tree farm. Mid-west farming..... Alaska..... Time flies. And you are about the only vanlife person I still follow.
Me too. Love this channel!
I've been following for 8 years and Brian is the only I still follow too.
I always look forward to watching the next video, all the other channels have grown in a direction that doesn’t fit my dream.
Same here, I follow because of Brian's vibe; the van life element is secondary.
Him & Amanda from TidelinetoAlpine are the only creators I enjoy following and it is because of their authenticity, honesty, and integrity that I keep watching. They both buck against RUclips’s algorithm demands and make the content they want to make without compromise.
Letting go is so hard ....but amazing growth usually follows.
So much courage. Just be you. Thank you, Brian
Sorry to hear about you and Kelly, Brian. But thank you for sharing with us all aspects of your life, not just the “happy parts”. God bless 🙏🏼☀️😌
Been here since the beginning and have always appreciated you and your efforts regarding how you run your channel. You are the ambassador for a simpler time on RUclips and have remained consistent throughout. Thank you! As far as you and the lovely Kelly are concerned, sometimes detachment is necessary to move forward in the next step in our lives, and "letting go" is the only way to do that. You are a beautiful spirit; you are a free spirit, and you are enough. Love for self MUST come first. We luv Kelly, we luv you. Continue on your path kind Sir. We'll be here...🙂
Sorry that you are having to deal with all the emotions of parting ways with Kelly. I’m 76 and been through it several times in my life. It’s not easy but you manage to soldier on. Time heals. Be safe and enjoy your summer ✌️
I’m sorry to hear about your break up. You’re a very decent human being and I wish nothing but the best for you and Kelly. I will keep watching your videos and look forward to the new you.
A pure heart is always honored and rewarded. You'll have plenty of people that will continue to support you!
Very sorry to hear of your split with Kelly.
You're an open and honest person with all of us detailing your life and emotions. Your a good person!
I've been watching for many years and look forward to your adventures moving forward.🤠
Take care of yourself.
I have always enjoyed Kelly's warm and beautiful smile. The burning question in my mind right now is, "Is this actually a 'break up', or just a break?" The two of you just seem to be so perfect for each other.......
I'm so sorry Brian 😢
Sending my best wishes to you Brian. I'm relieved to hear you feel reinvigorated and you are moving on from a difficult period. All the best Adventure Van Man.
Sorry that it didn’t work out for both of you. Life changes can suck sometimes.
Another chapter in life. 🙏🏻☮️♥️
Sorry for your loss, I am sure most of your Vanlife Family will stand with you for as long as it takes to help you through life...Blessings Brother ( Na -chain- an.
Great Friend/Brother.
A lovely, as well as bittersweet video...
Through all the years I've followed your journey, I've appreciated your humility & desire to just present your life as it is, & look forward to your new adventures, wherever they take you.
Thanks for what you do, Brian!♥
I just stayed single for life and lived for myself with no choice but to move forward.
Sorry about the split. One thing I’ve always loved about you and your channel is that you keep it real, whether it’s videos like this, cooking a meal, a bike ride, or whatever you’re up to. You were one of my inspirations to begin this life, and look at me now, so thanks! 😊 Keep doing what you’re doing.
Thank you for sharing. I hope Kelly and you both find peace and happiness. Blessings to you both. Take care.
All the Best - Press on...
People are in our lives for a reason or a season.💕 to you, Kelly and Hobbs
❤️ to both of you. I hope you find your new job fulfilling and curative.
It would be cool to have a nationwide fishing permit. Let every state get part of the pie
All the best to you Brian. It will be cool to watch your upcoming videos
Give yourself a big hug Brian. Life goes on and you will continue to grow and find your center. Colorado high!!
Been here since the beginning. Appreciate the heartfelt update. I will continue to watch all your videos. Peace.
Thanks for the heartfelt update Brian. I've enjoyed watching your channel for many years now and will continue to do so. I saw Kelly's video earlier today - it was such a wonderful tribute to her Mom. Both of you are very special people. Peace. ✌
Heart hugs Brian! Thanks for being you and sharing your journey. You inspire me every video! Peace.
I appreciate that this was a very hard video to make. Thank you for the update. I hope things get smoother for you going forward. I do look forward to your new explorations. Love your channel (especially the snippets of your music).
Good on you for being genuine and true to yourself.
Sorry to hear. Hope everything works out for you
After my Dad passed, I spiraled down, only after I choose to go in a totally different direction did I find joy again. Prayers for both you and Kelly!
Strength to you. I look forward to your continued adventures! Thank you for taking us with you during the ups and downs.
Sorry you reached a point where this change was needed, but you do express yourself well Brian. Glad you and Kelly should be able to stay friends. I'm interested to see this new job and what a beautiful place you get to spend the summer in. The shirt is great! May the forest be with you. ✌🌲
Keeping you and Kelly in my thoughts and prayers!!
Praying for you and Kelly. God bless you both.
Both of you are going to have years of meaningful memories. But life changes sometimes with no fault on either side. We are still with you!
Brian only you know what is best for you. I’m happy you and Kelly continue to be friends. Wishing you all the best.❤
So sorry Brian, hang in there. Just keep sharing your adventures, we'll watch!
Thanks for the update
Brian, you are always so real, and honest. I love your video's just beautiful places, your perspective of the area, and great videography. Just keep being real, keep being you, and sharing your journey. You are appreciated!
Big hugs Brian .you do you ! love ya buddy
Love you back! Thanks for the endless flow of inspiration, authenticity, and transparency. We are striving to live as you do, literally and figuratively. We are excited for your new adventures and it seems to have lifted your spirits. Hang in there friend.

Even amicable breakups can be emotionally tough. Wishing healing & peace for you, Kelly, & Hobbs.
💙best of luck to both you, Hobbs, and Kelly's future paths...may the weather be the best the rest of the summer too
I've been watching your channel since day one, and this is the first comment I've left. You are truly one of the most genuine people out there, and I will continue to quietly follow your peaceful journey as you embark on the next chapter of your life. Your videos have helped me through a lot of hard times, and I hope you can lean on all of us to help you through this life transition. Take care, buddy ✌️
Same here. I don’t comment often but your videos always are genuine and peaceful.
Big Merci for sharing. Take care and we love you too..Keep up the videos. ❤
I love your videos all the beautiful places you show us! Thank you
Right on man! Good luck! I’ve been watching since San Diego. Stay true to
Lots of love and hugs to you and Kelly.
Live life on your own terms,
Your adventures in Colorado will be great!
Having gone through a lot of changes with my mother declining with her dementia and having to take over her care, her house, her large elderly dog, having to quit my job, I can say a death and dealing with an elderly dog who was not brought up in your lifestyle this can be really really tough on an individual and probably a relationship.
Will still be watching as have been watching since you built your first van. To this day I remember when you started this adventure and have seen places I didn't know about. Keep up the good work buddy.
Just wanted you to know , I feel for you Brain! It is hard enough breaking up but to have to do it on your channel is so hard! My kindest regards to you! As a fan for some time , I hold your channel with high regard, and you too! I look forward to whatever you choose to share! 😊😊😊😊😢😊😊
Appreciate you always being so honest. looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks Don
Good luck with moving forward. Life is a journey with many different paths and struggles.
Cheers and safe travels
My thoughts are with you ❤ I hope you find healing and happiness in the great outdoors .
I've been following you since 2016. I rarely comment. I think you are the most authentic nomad on YT. To thine own self be true and you can't be false to any man. BTW, you are a melancholy personality. If you weren't aware it may help you with understanding the natural man.
