    All my videos are filmed using my iPhone 13 Pro Max and edited on CapCut app’.
    For those that don’t know me I was popular on RUclips despite only having my channel for just 8 months.
    I had over 540 videos nearly 1 million watched hours, several thousand subscribers and was gifted products to review from companies.
    Unfortunately in April 2024 I felt compelled to take it down due to my personal safety was compromised.
    However since then safety measures have now been put in place allowing me back on RUclips.

    Well done Kev, 64 ain't so old. This is my first week living full time in the van I've fitted out . At 72 I am still feeling a bit nervous on night 6, but there is no going back.

      Thanks for the kind words, trust me, the nervousness will soon go away, when you get you're head around the fact that nobody walking past your van is interested in you. Everybody is so wound up in their own lives, they don't even notice you! You'll be fine my friend! Kev

    This man is to be commended for having a go. Life dealt him a difficult hand of cards and he ended up OK. Bit scary at first,
    but some way along he is slowly getting there. Main thing is he was able to house himself and his lovely dog who meant a
    great deal to him as a companion. I wish him all the best.

    Nice interview Mark..
    First thing: 64 is a youngster these days..
    If you look at some of the American van lifer videos the ages of quite a lot of the van lifers are 70's and 80's..
    Am subscribed to Kev's channel so am familiar with his story and his dog Rupert..seems a genuine enough bloke..
    Kev's van is all you need ...it's functional and simple..hope he manages to get off the hamster wheel asap and enjoys his golden years in his van..
    Take care Mark..🤠

    I loved this. I live very basic in a cabin and my van. You see so many full on expensive vans being done but why do you need it. This is an amazing video to show people. One thing Kev is put a fan in as I found out how much moisture it causes in the winter even with just the small one pot type meals.
    Really that's one of the real must haves but everything else is a bonus. It can make you ill on a longer term basis. Hence passing on knowledge from experience.
    It's so nice to see someone else living like me. Thanks guys 👌

But for me i was paranoid in the roads so i luckily managed to find a farmer who rents me a spot. I bought a car and my van is safe. Take each step along the way and enjoy the moment and we dont worry about our future..... True freedom

To the maker of this, you need to sort your microphone system, he comes across quiet while you come across loud..got sick of adjusting my volume dependent on who was talking. A few of your other vids are the same. You need to sort mate. New to your channel, enjoying the people you come across.

    Hello Brothers, I would like to say you seem like a good guy and I'm proud to see you taking care of your dog. I live in the states and nomads travel around the country doing things like picking beets at harvest Time and making about 1500 dollars a week although it only last about 2 weeks. Also a lot of people become camp host which is basically taking care of campgrounds and in return they pay you and let you live there for free with your dog of course. So I don't know what it's like where you live but there's a couple of ideas for you, good luck my friend.

    What is that expression you said Mark "spit and dust"? It caught my attention. And is probably why i follow Kev on his youtube channel. Down to earth, no frills just the basics. Thank you for sharing your stories, they are inspiring over here in New Zealand. I am doing the same thing, van life. Much gratitude for your sharing.

      Merl: Yep, Spit and Sawdust just means extremely basic, no frills of any kind. No just to do with his van, but also a person's way of life. A person who does not have any airs or graces, doesn't put on a show for others.

    I'm nearly the same age as Kev and I've been full time for a year also. I totally agree with Kev (and Mark) about vanlife. Luckily for me I bought a motorhome but I always wanted a van so I'm going to buy one and sell my motorhome (too cold in winter). I can't fully convert it myself but maybe I'll be able to find some help somewhere (up here in the North East)🤞.
