My dad is the strongest. He's been dead for four years and yet he still manages to teach me valuable life lessons every time I apply what he did with me with my wife and son.
I love that sentiment "Iron Boobs".....my husband passed away in June 27, 2019. My son is building a step van that I can use to travel in. I am constantly (pleasantly) surprised at the amount of knowledge that our son learned from my husband. I often "say" to my husband (hoping he can "somehow" hear me)...."Look at your son Frank......he turned out amazing".....
This is from Marilyn Collie. My Dad faced challenges that would break the will of many. He had a heart attack in his late 50's, which later led to having a pacemaker and later a defibrillator. In addition, later in life, he fell off a roof while working and had a spinal cord injury, and broke bones in the impact arm. After a year in a wheelchair and rehab/physical therapy, he learned to walk, then continued to work painting. All of this caused him to have tremendous upper body strength, especially strong hands. He could chop wood from a sitting position. His strength of will was tremendous. He lived to 84. Much much longer tban expected. He taught us (7 kids) how to persevere through adversity. He was a very strong man. Thank you if you read through all this.
Yes, my Dad was a good guy. Loved by so many. Father figure to nephews in need. Would help anyone who had a need, always had a ready smile and a corny joke.
It was easy to underestimate my dad.He was on the small side of average in size--skinny and not very tall, but strong. He was a runner--never lost a race, no matter what the distance. He was quiet, so people would easily overlook him, but when he did speak up, not only was he smart, but he was funny. When I remember my mom I think of sewing, knitting, painting, and singing. When I think of my dad, I think of fixing stuff, laughing, and praying.
Watching your father work, measure, use tools, is really inspiring. There's so much to it. Appreciate your footage of these steps - a good model for us all.
Man, cannot believe that I just came across your channel. You and your folks are such (naturally) likable people - or great actors. And you are french-speaking, but no french. Your only flaw seems to be the use of imp. dimensions, but your father is compensating that with skill and experience! 👍🏻👌🏼
I was gonna say my dad is stronger then yours cause I secretly adopted your dad when you weren't looking. LIke a boss he took the hard way and did that undermount sink ! Blew it off like it was nothing to boot when you complimented him 😉 So, HAPPY FATHERS DAY PAPA ! You really hit the dad lottery with him 😍 he's what I call "good people".
"Unpacking with Andrée" could be a spin-off show where y'all sit down at the table, have a cold refreshing drink, and unpack all the feels #Idwatchthat
Happy Father's Day papa! He is very good people. My dad no longer with us but if he were he would have helped me with my van build. He was very stern but taught me many life lessons.
Happy Father's Day to your dad! I think he is BA, Smart, handsome, gotta be an amazing husband and dad cuz he put up with you and fixes your mistakes lol. My dad passed a long time ago, I didn't know him well, so the BA award goes to drum roll....Papa ! Unboxing with your mom is awesome! I used to get beat with a wooden spoon lol,, that must be why she carries it lol. Not! My family is from Quebec. Hard working, hard everything, but loving ❤ Loving the van Dom ! Can I borrow your dad? Much love from Texas ❤✌😁
the undermount looks so good with the block infill! I was going to do that, but I saw so many videos saying they wish they went a bigger sink. SO I went for a 750x450mm sink, lol. I think drop in will be JUST fine. Big enough the gf can wash her hair in, I guess.
So enjoy your Papa! My dad was strong. Building with him, Albert Francois,was comical, building with my mom got the job done. French Lesson??? I drive a white jeep... 🤣
Great tips and trick!! My step dad was amazing he passed away about 12 years ago. But, I once accidently ran over his feet! He was going to take me to a job interview and I was waiting for him to load his cooler in the back seat, I was going to drive the first half of the trip. He said, okay and I thought that meant he was clear of the back of the car! Yikers! He wasn't! He ended up not being hurt seriously! But, I had to call the office to postpone the interview as I had just run over my dad's feet. It was the first time the office had heard that excuse! Oh! I did get the job!
My dad is the strongest: build a monster truck, a harley davidson and now helped me build my van. Its gonna be a sturdy one I promise, haha! Shout out to all the dads that share with us their time and knowledge to make our dreams come true! Keep up the good work and see you guys on the road :)
I mean...we'll all be happy when this pandemic is officially over, but yes, Rona is a one-stop shop for products for renovation, construction, and home decoration projects. They have everything we need for van conversions too. ;)
Enjoyed the Batman theme intro! Watching your videos for my van build, Promaster 159. Thank you so much for making the videos educational and entertaining!
Just found your channel today and this is the first video I've watched. Loved all of the tips. Got to the French lesson and was crying from laughter! You've got a new subscriber! 🤣🤣🤣
Well done, once again!!! The van kitchen looks might fine all thanks to Sylvain's knowledge and skills!! You are so fortunate to have Sylvain on board with the van build. Cheers and stay safe.
I always come late to the party. :( Been following you two for a while now. Thanks for sharing the new van build. It's been informative to me, even though I'm in a SUV. (No cabinets here. ;) You make me laugh, and of course, your relationship is inspiring. Not all couples can make it through vanlife. Thanks for sharing. Stay groovy!
The French Lesson this week.... excellent, so many White Jeep driving Douches out there...lol and showers. Love the under mount sink, with the removable cutting board. Great use of space and extending the counter top that way! Coming along nicely.
The drawer slides was very interesting and informative. I usually don't like any technical stuff just decorating. But that was interesting. Plus your funny. Anyone else might have been boring. Lol.
Hey, happy fathers day to your Dad .. and you soon, now that you will have the "Baby Cave" ;-) ... Another great video and getting closer to the finish line... I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of Vanessanessa sister's and brother's out there in the near future ;-) ( I'm taking a lot of note's :-) :-) See you next Sunday Mr. Dominic and regards to Marie
Having just consumed 17ish hours of Vanlife Sagas over the last few days. (I've broken my ankle, I've a lot of spare time sitting on my backside). Which is every uploaded video (liking them all of couse). I've a couple of (hopefully helpful) comments for Dom. (1) You've not done a video of your 2nd West US trip. (2) Your cinematography is awesome and often made up of epic drone shots, yet I've never heard you talk about drones or even mention them in your photography video. Any reason? Keep up the awesome work guys.
Haha, love the bullet point comments. Here are your answers my friend : 1) Nope. For some reason, the "normal" travel videos aren't that interesting to our audiences. We are guessing people like the vanlife stuff with our own van and adventures. 2) Thanks for that. Drones are fun but are getting complicated with the legal stuff. As we do everything to fly with very small drones in authorized areas, I don't like giving details on this part of the videography since laws got very strict here in the last few months. I probably won't be using it much anymore.
WoW...looking so nice!!! Boy o boy do i wish i had ur Dad 2 help w my van!!! Both my Daddy's r in Heaven now so i have 2 do it myself n it does NOT look like that!!! My hack...IKEA 😂😂😂 Love u guys!! ✌💚
Gah! So sorry to hear about your dads....we know we are very lucky to still have ours around... And yes - IKEA for the win! They have great products for van conversions!
Love your channel, musics you pick in the videos are awesome and match your general style of presenting (I did a few shazams :D) Greetings from la France :)
Great video as always! I don't fully understand how you guys waterproofed the hole for the sink. Are the sides now waterproof because you glued another piece of bamboo against it?
We didn’t explain it in the video. But we are glueing full pieces of bamboo because the interior of the counters is slatted. And then, we seal everything with silicone!
My dad is stronger than your dad because he once caught the chain holding an engine on a winch so it didn’t fall on someone. My dad was also in the military (army and airforce). Right now he is hanging board and baton on his new barn at the cottage. Happy building!
Awesome video! Great content as always.I had a question about cabinet installation in a prior video. What is the jack tool used to hold the cabinets up?
I just installed a similar stove in my bus conversion. When I took it out for a drive grill and other parts on the cooktop bounced all over the place. Still trying to figure out how to best resolve this without having to take it apart when driving.
The alternative to removing the top parts is to install a cover that locks into the counter. We've done that for previous conversions and it worked well!
My Dad is the strongest cause he listens to all my shit. Then when he tells the story back, he tells a totally different story that was actually my siblings story. When u try convince him he is talking shit, he looks at u stunned like u are mental😂😂😂
Mistake #6: Speed. Not applying yellow stripes on the outside of your van for maximum propulsion and lift, which your father knows all about✈️ 👋Hello Mama and bee-you-ti-ful kitty cat!
Merci pour cette vidéo encore pleine de bons tuyaux, et bonne fête à Sylvain. Il fait du super boulot. Je pensais faire un montage par en dessous également (pour pouvoir fermer lorsqu'on roule + esthétiquement plus sympa!). J'ai une question "technique" concernant l'évier monté en dessous du countertop: Pourquoi tu remets des lattes à l'intérieur du trou que tu viens de faire? Pourquoi ne pas laisser l'ouverture telle quelle? Rajouter des lattes sous-entends refaire une étanchéité! Sinon le bambou rend super bien. Quel vernis vas tu utiliser ensuite? Merci pour ta réponse. Excellente semaine. Pymayaya
Bonne question pour le comptoir - L'intérieur est en lattes collées. Même si la contruction est bien faite, y'a trop d'entrées d'eau potentielles avec cette technique de collage. On a donc extrait une latte entière, huilée et scellée pour la recoller par dessus, et ensuite y ajouter du silicone. Pas de vernis sur le bamboo - Seulement de l'huile minérale pour maintenir son apparence et son teint naturels.
My Dad was stronger than your dad. He fell off the roof of a building he was building onto his back. After a few minutes, he said he was fine and didn’t need to see a doctor, so he got back up on the roof and finished it. (A 24 foot geodesic dome.) Years later, after an X-ray for something else, his doctor asked how he broke his back. When my dad told him he had never broken his back, the doctor showed him the old break on the X-ray. Yup, he built a building with a broken back. In addition, he was the father of 20 kids - 6 biological and 14 adopted. He was stronger than any man I’ve ever known.
My dad is the strong...Oh wait he pretty much cheated on my mom, they separated and he payed the minimum child support until he didn't need to anymore sooo...Can I borrow someone else's dad for this day??
@@vanlifesagas Haha thanks! From everything I've seen in your videos they both seem like nymber one dads :) so I'm very thankful for borrowing them haha
My dad hunts bears using only a swiss army knife. You know, the ones that have a toothpick. He came home with a bear last year and we asked if he used the knife. He said no, the bear knocked the knife out of his hand but luckily he had the toothpick in his mouth.
@@vanlifesagas Pour avoir essayer les 2 modèles, je prédit que vous allez revenir au single toasts rapidement. Quitte à en acheter un 2e pour votre 2e rond lol
Malheureusement pas grand chose a dire de mon père, mais je suis un père moi meme et si mes enfants suivaient Vanlife Sagas ils diraient que je suis le meilleur car je fais souvent des erreurs et que j'apprend de celles ci. Celui qui ne fait pas d'erreur ne fait rien... Merci pour les souhaits de fete des pères. Je retourne la pareil a vos papa et a tout les papas qui vous suivent. Merci aussi pour le contenu hebdomadaire. Bonne St Jean a vous tous et a la semaine prochaine. Au plaisir de vous voir sur la route.
Hey, merci Alan! Tu laisseras tes enfants écouter Vanlife Sagas avec toi dimanche prochain! On est convaincus qu'ils vont dire que tu es le meilleur papa du monde. Merci de regarder à chaque semaine!
My father is more pedantic than yours. No-one else but my dad spends half an hour carefully laying potato chips in neat rows on the sandwich press so they all reheat perfectly evenly. (And I have the photo to prove it, although I don't think I can post it here?) 🙂
Hmm, the build costs some money, yes. But two things: 1- There are ways to build this for way cheaper, it all depends on your needs. 2- Dom and I work quite a lot for that money and we aren’t special in any way. We just work at it. We would say it’s accessible for everyone who is willing to pursue this kind of dream.
@@vanlifesagas You are very fortunate but no it's not accessible to everyone. When you live on $1000 a month and have no family that can offer support it's very hard to pursue that dream. I can't work to make more money so I'm living in a room of old trailer...my only electric is a 200 watt solar panel...I haul my water in gallon jugs...I cook on a propane Coleman stove and rely on a food bank to help with groceries. It's the only way I can save for a van which is my dream. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I'm glad you guys are able to do what you do and I'm a subscriber but I was just saying that build, along with many others, is far out of the majority's reach. I watch different channels to get ideas
My dad is the strongest, he is whispering on God's ear to turn everybody into Zombies so I can fulfill my primal dream... Or, at least doing business with him.
My dad is the strongest. He's been dead for four years and yet he still manages to teach me valuable life lessons every time I apply what he did with me with my wife and son.
His favorite thing in the world was gossing stuff whilst telling bad puns and listen to good music. I feel our dads would get along pretty well ☺️
That's an amazing response. Wow... Speechless. They would definitely be friends, yes.
I love that sentiment "Iron Boobs".....my husband passed away in June 27, 2019. My son is building a step van that I can use to travel in.
I am constantly (pleasantly) surprised at the amount of knowledge that our son learned from my husband.

Wow! Not everyone has the inner strength to pull though all of that. Sounds like he was a great man.
Yes, my Dad was a good guy. Loved by so many. Father figure to nephews in need. Would help anyone who had a need, always had a ready smile and a corny joke.
Sounds like he was a lovely man and wonderful father :)
Your papa is so skilled. Love your mom🇿🇦😷
We're very lucky to have them around!
It was easy to underestimate my dad.He was on the small side of average in size--skinny and not very tall, but strong. He was a runner--never lost a race, no matter what the distance.

This sounds like the best dad! A legend!
Really like the bamboo idea for countertop. I didn't realize it was more heat resistant.
It’s very sturdy too!
Watching your father work, measure, use tools, is really inspiring. There's so much to it. Appreciate your footage of these steps - a good model for us all.
Inspiring for us as well! Thank you very much! We'll pass on the compliments! :)
Man, cannot believe that I just came across your channel. You and your folks are such (naturally) likable people - or great actors. And you are french-speaking, but no french.
Your only flaw seems to be the use of imp. dimensions, but your father is compensating that with skill and experience! 👍🏻👌🏼

I was gonna say my dad is stronger then yours cause I secretly adopted your dad when you weren't looking. LIke a boss he took the hard way and did that undermount sink ! Blew it off like it was nothing to boot when you complimented him 😉
So, HAPPY FATHERS DAY PAPA !
You really hit the dad lottery with him 😍 he's what I call "good people".
We're definitely lucky to have him around! :)
Your dad made me laugh so much, he is so funny without even trying!!! So much fun to watch :)
Sending love his way. Thanks Pascale!!
My Dad is... Older than yours 😂(95), but still the smartest person I know, and gives the best hugs! Happy Father’s Day to all the daddies.
95! Wow! Here's to hoping we make it that "far"...and "dad hugs" are the best!
Love your parents. Your mom is really funny. I will miss them when your van build is done.
There will always be more vans... ;)
We miss you, Marie! 🥺
She'll be back this week!!!
@@vanlifesagas Of course we miss Marie but you’re doing great Dom!
Dom and Marie are the best! 😘
I'm consistently amazed at how tidy and precise your dad works. He's amazing to watch.
And ze french lesson today 🤭
He's pretty precise yes. It's amazing.
Love your videos , the accompanying music and sense of humor!
Glad you like them! And thanks for watching!
"Unpacking with Andrée" could be a spin-off show where y'all sit down at the table, have a cold refreshing drink, and unpack all the feels #Idwatchthat
We are seriously thinking of just dropping all the short videos on another Unboxing With Andree accounts.
@@vanlifesagas what are you waiting for. Just. DO IT!
Happy Father's Day papa! He is very good people. My dad no longer with us but if he were he would have helped me with my van build. He was very stern but taught me many life lessons.
Nice! They are the best dads!

Ohhh, thanks for this nice message Debbe. I'll make sure my dad sees it! You can borrow him anytime you want!
Your Dad is definitely a badass.
We couldn't agree more! :)

It's obvious that you have the best and strongest dad. Period.
Ahhh I know 🥰🥰
Ton papa est le meilleur et le plus fort.
Je suis bien d'accord! :)
I finally can catch up with you!! I am always learning with your videos!! Thank you!
We're so glad! Thanks for watching!
Nice countertop with the under-mount sink! Z French lesson today 🚿 :)
Dom has so much fun with the Ze French lessons...! Glad you liked it! :)
You already did the 10 vanlife hacks with the camp toaster!!
It was a single toaster in the first video.
Excellent job.
Love your mom and dad helping.
So glad you told all your secrets.
Can not wait till next sunday
Thanks for watching Suzanne! :)
"Design is everything!"
You got that right. EVERYTHING.
So enjoy your Papa! My dad was strong. Building with him, Albert Francois,was comical, building with my mom got the job done. French Lesson??? I drive a white jeep... 🤣
I also drive a white jeep. Don't worry!
Great tips and trick!! My step dad was amazing he passed away about 12 years ago. But, I once accidently ran over his feet! He was going to take me to a job interview and I was waiting for him to load his cooler in the back seat, I was going to drive the first half of the trip.

That's a funny story, or was it funny? Haha.
@@vanlifesagas it was a funny story because he wasn't hurt, and I got the job anyways!
I love your French lesson!! I literally practice it from your lesson! 😁 love your video!!!!!!!
I love the way you share your build!! I learn so much!! Love you guys!
Glad you like this. We try our best to share everything!
My dad is the strongest: build a monster truck, a harley davidson and now helped me build my van. Its gonna be a sturdy one I promise, haha! Shout out to all the dads that share with us their time and knowledge to make our dreams come true!
Keep up the good work and see you guys on the road :)
Any dad involved with Monster Trucks are pretty much unbeatable.
This is some great tips and tricks that you have! Most of them I knew of but you went more in-depth and explained it very good :)
Thanks for watching. If we forgot something, let us know!
Ok, best french lesson so far!! White Jeep drivers.....love it, and you're right!!!!!
Van looks great!
Thanks! 😃
I'll take a reservation for 1 please. Steak and lobster would be divine :D
Coming up!
Best French lesson yet. So funny!! Van is looking great too! I love you guys so much 🥰😂❤️
Thank you! 😃 And thanks for watching! :)
You guys are the best 💓🌷 Happy Fathers day🌷 French Lesson is Hilarious 😁😁😂
Hahah, thanks!
Great video - we watch every Sunday :)
Awesome! Thank you for watching! :)
I didn’t realise until half-way through that “Rona” is the name of a shop. I thought you were taking little breaks because of the pandemic.
I mean...we'll all be happy when this pandemic is officially over, but yes, Rona is a one-stop shop for products for renovation, construction, and home decoration projects. They have everything we need for van conversions too. ;)
Somehow missed this episode. Thanks for the great tips! And that was the best French lesson so far lol
Those French Lessons are... well... You know what they are.
Enjoyed the Batman theme intro! Watching your videos for my van build, Promaster 159. Thank you so much for making the videos educational and entertaining!
Glad you like them! Promaster 159! Nice! We hope your build is going well!
Just found your channel today and this is the first video I've watched. Loved all of the tips. Got to the French lesson and was crying from laughter! You've got a new subscriber! 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to the channel Dawnyka! ;)
Your Dad is amazing. Also thank you for the songs link :)
Happy Fathers Day to your Dad.
ps: Great to meet you today 👌
Keep the build ideas and videos coming.
Merci ,,,,,,, Thank you 😉
Hey, glad you said hi!!!
Best french lesson ever!!! Love you guys. This is the highlight of my week.
So glad you liked it! :)
Design is EVERYTHING ❤️
Design is... everything.
When I do my van build, can I borrow your dad? He is awesome.
Yeah. If he's available.
This channel is the best discovery of my 2021... ❤💯👍
Oh that is such a nice comment! Thanks!!!
Well done, once again!!! The van kitchen looks might fine all thanks to Sylvain's knowledge and skills!! You are so fortunate to have Sylvain on board with the van build. Cheers and stay safe.
Thanks! Talk soon.
I got a 'sinking' feeling during this episode😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha, love PUNS!
Relax, let the anxiety drain away...
Great information! Thank you.
You bet!
I always come late to the party. :(
Been following you two for a while now. Thanks for sharing the new van build. It's been informative to me, even though I'm in a SUV. (No cabinets here. ;) You make me laugh, and of course, your relationship is inspiring. Not all couples can make it through vanlife.
Thanks for sharing. Stay groovy!
Fashionably late is better than not showing up at all! ;) Thanks for watching and keep it up with that SUV!
@@vanlifesagasBeen doing this since 2016. First in a Ford Explorer. Now a Chevy Tahoe. I love it!
The French Lesson this week.... excellent, so many White Jeep driving Douches out there...lol and showers.
Love the under mount sink, with the removable cutting board. Great use of space and extending the counter top that way! Coming along nicely.
It's going to be amazing! The counters are gonna look so long!
The drawer slides was very interesting and informative. I usually don't like any technical stuff just decorating. But that was interesting. Plus your funny. Anyone else might have been boring. Lol.
Ahh, thanks for watching! We love helping people out with their projects!
Hey, happy fathers day to your Dad .. and you soon, now that you will have the "Baby Cave" ;-) ... Another great video and getting closer to the finish line... I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of Vanessanessa sister's and brother's out there in the near future ;-) ( I'm taking a lot of note's :-) :-) See you next Sunday Mr. Dominic and regards to Marie
Great! Let us know when you build yours. We already meet a lot of people that own Vanessa's sisters.

Yay! Thanks for watching.
Yes français et anglais lové too ear you say maman et papa
Hhaha. Like in that show on Netflix. Don’t remember the name.
Great video as always! I don't fully understand how you guys waterproofed the hole for the sink. Are the sides now waterproof because you glued another piece of bamboo against it?
We didn’t explain it in the video. But we are glueing full pieces of bamboo because the interior of the counters is slatted. And then, we seal everything with silicone!
My Dad is definitely stronger than yours because he is my Dad. But I want to wish your Dad a very Happy Father’s Day. Your Mom is so cute 🥰
Love the explanation here!
phew dodged that one. my jeep is silver :) aka not a douche :D
Phew! Not a douche!!!
Sylvane should have its own RUclips channel to show how to build a van
My dad is stronger than your dad because he once caught the chain holding an engine on a winch so it didn’t fall on someone. My dad was also in the military (army and airforce). Right now he is hanging board and baton on his new barn at the cottage.
Happy building!
Yay for military families!
Awesome video! Great content as always.I had a question about cabinet installation in a prior video. What is the jack tool used to hold the cabinets up?
It's a 3rd Hand Support System. You can most likely find it at any of your local hardware stores.
@@vanlifesagas Thank you so much! I didn't exactly know what to search for so got a lot of car jacks in my search results
I just realized Rona is for real a sponsor. I thought you were joking about the pandemic.
Hahaha, nope. We're always shopping there for parts, tools and materials. They just decided to sponsor us.
Bamboo is a great choice, but I found it so hard to saw.
I hear ya! Sometimes it depends on the saw!
@@vanlifesagas Haha! En effet, je ne suis pas aussi bien équipée que certaines personnes ;)
I just installed a similar stove in my bus conversion. When I took it out for a drive grill and other parts on the cooktop bounced all over the place. Still trying to figure out how to best resolve this without having to take it apart when driving.
The alternative to removing the top parts is to install a cover that locks into the counter. We've done that for previous conversions and it worked well!
My Dad is the strongest cause he listens to all my shit. Then when he tells the story back, he tells a totally different story that was actually my siblings story. When u try convince him he is talking shit, he looks at u stunned like u are mental😂😂😂
Unboxing included a cat scan today!
hahahaha, those PUNS!
Mistake #6: Speed. Not applying yellow stripes on the outside of your van for maximum propulsion and lift, which your father knows all about✈️
👋Hello Mama and bee-you-ti-ful kitty cat!

Merci pour ta réponse.
Excellente semaine.

Bonne question pour le comptoir - L'intérieur est en lattes collées. Même si la contruction est bien faite, y'a trop d'entrées d'eau potentielles avec cette technique de collage. On a donc extrait une latte entière, huilée et scellée pour la recoller par dessus, et ensuite y ajouter du silicone.
Pas de vernis sur le bamboo - Seulement de l'huile minérale pour maintenir son apparence et son teint naturels.
@@vanlifesagas Thank you Dom et merci beaucoup pour ta réponse.
Mon fils adore les French Lessons: un régal pour nos oreilles. :-)
your dad should do this for a living and open up his own shop
List of music please. Also, my daddy strong like bull
The Vanlife Sagas Soundtrack is on Spotify for you to listen! Enjoy.
i like it a lot ;)
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe.
She's adorable
My Dad was stronger than your dad. He fell off the roof of a building he was building onto his back. After a few minutes, he said he was fine and didn’t need to see a doctor, so he got back up on the roof and finished it. (A 24 foot geodesic dome.) Years later, after an X-ray for something else, his doctor asked how he broke his back. When my dad told him he had never broken his back, the doctor showed him the old break on the X-ray. Yup, he built a building with a broken back. In addition, he was the father of 20 kids - 6 biological and 14 adopted. He was stronger than any man I’ve ever known.
Wow Theresa! That. Is. Insane.
Yup! God got a good one when he passed!
My dad is the strong...Oh wait he pretty much cheated on my mom, they separated and he payed the minimum child support until he didn't need to anymore sooo...Can I borrow someone else's dad for this day??
mine too, dont get me started on the ex hubby
You can borrow ours!
@@vanlifesagas Haha thanks! From everything I've seen in your videos they both seem like nymber one dads :) so I'm very thankful for borrowing them haha
My dad hunts bears using only a swiss army knife. You know, the ones that have a toothpick. He came home with a bear last year and we asked if he used the knife. He said no, the bear knocked the knife out of his hand but luckily he had the toothpick in his mouth.
Hahahah, Jesus! Epic story right here! How true is that? Like in percentage?
@@vanlifesagas hahaha that's his story and he's sticking to it! 😉
Why did you change your toaster? Thought you loved the old model...
We will probably use both. But now, we can do more than one toast at the time, and this is very useful when we have friends over in the van.
@@vanlifesagas Pour avoir essayer les 2 modèles, je prédit que vous allez revenir au single toasts rapidement. Quitte à en acheter un 2e pour votre 2e rond lol
My Dad and your Dad could be T-shirt twins.
I don't know why they think it's nice.
Malheureusement pas grand chose a dire de mon père, mais je suis un père moi meme et si mes enfants suivaient Vanlife Sagas ils diraient que je suis le meilleur car je fais souvent des erreurs et que j'apprend de celles ci. Celui qui ne fait pas d'erreur ne fait rien... Merci pour les souhaits de fete des pères. Je retourne la pareil a vos papa et a tout les papas qui vous suivent. Merci aussi pour le contenu hebdomadaire. Bonne St Jean a vous tous et a la semaine prochaine. Au plaisir de vous voir sur la route.
Hey, merci Alan! Tu laisseras tes enfants écouter Vanlife Sagas avec toi dimanche prochain! On est convaincus qu'ils vont dire que tu es le meilleur papa du monde. Merci de regarder à chaque semaine!
My father is more pedantic than yours. No-one else but my dad spends half an hour carefully laying potato chips in neat rows on the sandwich press so they all reheat perfectly evenly. (And I have the photo to prove it, although I don't think I can post it here?) 🙂
Wow - that's dedication...!
@@vanlifesagas Asperger's with a touch of OCD, I'd call it 😂 Happy to pm you the photo, if you like.
Great build for people with lots of money. It just doesn't apply to the majority of us😒
Hmm, the build costs some money, yes. But two things:
1- There are ways to build this for way cheaper, it all depends on your needs.
2- Dom and I work quite a lot for that money and we aren’t special in any way. We just work at it. We would say it’s accessible for everyone who is willing to pursue this kind of dream.
@@vanlifesagas You are very fortunate but no it's not accessible to everyone. When you live on $1000 a month and have no family that can offer support it's very hard to pursue that dream. I can't work to make more money so I'm living in a room of old trailer...my only electric is a 200 watt solar panel...I haul my water in gallon jugs...I cook on a propane Coleman stove and rely on a food bank to help with groceries. It's the only way I can save for a van which is my dream.
I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I'm glad you guys are able to do what you do and I'm a subscriber but I was just saying that build, along with many others, is far out of the majority's reach. I watch different channels to get ideas
So Clean. So Nice. So 👁👄👁…
Thanks!
My father is stronger than yours because we live in tropical climates and he has not bathed in a week! Happy Fathers Day Papa!
HAhahha, what the? That's funny.
I love my dad, but your father is most definitely stronger than mine.
You think?
@@vanlifesagas I have no doubt. Your dad is a bad ass. I wish he was here, helping me with my build.
But your daddy is the best van designer and i dont have one.
He’s pretty good yes
JE suis définitivement the fastest of alll je travail pour la ville je fini de travailler @ 17h à 16:30 je suis à la maison... Try to beat that...
Hahaha, love.
and lots of money!!!!!111!!!
Raise your hand if you said be-bye Marie. ^__^'
Of course you did! Haha!
@@vanlifesagas j’ai toujours été ben bon pour respecter les consignes. 🙆♂️😅
My dad is so strong. After he showers he still smells like a dumpster.
Woah! That's a totally next level of strong!!
It's not Fathers Day here.
Oh! When do you celebrate it? Here in Canada, it's the 3rd Sunday in June every year.
@@vanlifesagas here in Australia it's the first Sunday September. You and your big neighbour are weird. 8-)
My Father is walking with JESUS ❤️ 🙏🏻
One day we should have a bake off!
My dad is the best to criticize me !
Haha! That's funny. Or is it?
I want your mom to be my friend🤗😃
N'importe quand!
My dad is the strongest, he is whispering on God's ear to turn everybody into Zombies so I can fulfill my primal dream... Or, at least doing business with him.
Whaaaat? That's funny!
