Alternative dwellings are great when it's your choice to choose to live that way, but do you ever wonder why less of us are able to buy a traditional home? The answer simply is currency debasement. The answer more deeply is answered in my new podcast ruclips.net/video/VZtG5aHt20Y/видео.htmlsi=7o2YPFRt4QLy0A7i
Dude I did this with a 2002 Caravan in 2015 .. went to work a oil refinery SHUT DOWN for 4 months in Baton Rouge .. I lived on the Canadian border area ... Saved me Motel rent , parked in the contractors yard in the refinery , answered all the OT extra calls .. got lots of rest , it was good ... .. May the road raise up to meet you wheels, may the sun always shine upon your face and the wind fill sail , young man , Caravan on dude 😄😃 🐢🌴🐬
He's the Matthew McConaughey of van life. He has definitely figured out a way to calm his anxiety. Nothing better than putting your bare feet on the Earth, and grounding yourself. Thanks for sharing this artful build, and your insights.
Well thank yah. I have a background in speaking in front of others. Helps a bit. Plus I just got so much to say. Product of many quiet days. And thank you 🙏
I really like this guy and agree with him 100%. Life is very short. I'm 65 with a health issue and I have more time behind me than ahead of me. You only live once...do whatever makes you happy...and yes, be kind. His build is amazing and I love it! Thank you for the tour.👍🙂♥️
So frequently, people who are real and need real meaning in life seem to struggle with their mental health in the unreal, fake, surface, meaningless cultural landscape humans now occupy. Glad Dani has found a good life for himself. He inspired me.
Thanks for calming my anxiety. Really. I clicked and in 30 seconds I took a deep cleansing breath. Glad you found the first piece of plywood..good job. I'm working on finding a van to do this myself for the same reasons. I'm 61 and want to stay alone but not stuck.❤
Thanks so much for meeting up with me and sharing my van with the world!! For anyone who may have questions about my build, I'll do my best to answer through the comments section!
Dan, your peaceful quiet demeanor really speaks to me. Living out of my car is something I’ve dreamed of for several years but you’ve helped me see it’s time to just do it. Thanks so much! Do you have a place where I can follow you and your journey?
Yes this is what I need. After failing at six long term relationships and being lost and miserable for sixty years, this kind of minimalism is quite attractive. Wonderful
Wow Wendell exactly my thoughts too. I am looking for a van today! If I can get away from suburbia as much as possible I know ill be happier than I've ever been in 2 failed marriages as well. Being solitary and alone isn't lonely, it connects you with more people and planting bare feet on soil is so vital I feel for our happiness being connected with the source. Thanks Dan you are an inspiration. I might even do a few vids on my van build!
The most important relationship anyone can ever have is with our Creator, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) Do you know how to get forgiven of your sins? “ …turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.” (Acts 20:21) “ repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.” (Acts 26:20) Sincerely and humbly cry out to God for mercy. Turn away from your sins for they are dragging you to fiery torment. Place your 100% submissive faith in the Lord Jesus to follow him faithfully till death. Then he said to them all: “if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23) “We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.” Heb. 3:14) The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Mat. 13:41-42) “
@@danielshaw9465 daniel! i have the same van as you and am deeply inspired by your build. what type of wood did you use for the bed that you made? gonna rewatch video and see if you mentioned it. thank you!!!!
@@danielshaw9465 Fantastic job on your build ! I am going to use some of your ideas for my van project !! Thanks for sharing !! :) So great you are truly enjoying life !
He keeps his van so neat and tidy,and I think being a minimalist is the best way to live,most people have so much stuff they never use in their lifetime,so its good to only have things we really need and use in daily life.
@@wildcat.7834 Their saying he probably cleaned before the cameras came bc the og comment said he keeps it so tidy. Their saying how could og know that. He could've just cleaned for the video
Oh my god...I totally know about the anxiety...I'm 70 and started having panic attacks!!.. I like the feeling of being able to get in my car and not deal with people... I need a place to rest.. read...eat...alone...when I'm experiencing anxiety...which helps...ɓut want to sleep...and maybe just be away for a few days...so thanks for all the great ideas.....bless you...and be good to youurself°°❤
@@danielshaw9465 I hope you do! I would definitely subscribe. You have immense talent and an insightful and inspiring outlook on life. I’m really impressed with the way you’re living life the way that’s fulfilling for you. 👏🏻
nothing more relatable than "complicated, yet simple, like me " 😂 I clicked into this just looking for some shelving inspo for my build, and ended up with some life inspo 🥹 really beautiful van build and even more beautiful soul! thanks for the video!
I want to say the same!!! he totally captured me with the philosophy of what van life has genuinely brought to his life - and his build of course, nice and simplistic
This guy is great. My wife and I been married 35 years, raised 2 kids and own a house. We'd love to go nomadic for a few years! We've always had a camper and enjoyed traveling but we'd really like to hit the road for an extended period. 2 more years and I believe we will.
I have watched hundreds of videos on van dwelling and I have seen lots of builds. I believe this is the one I like the absolute best. Thank you for sharing.
I love this van build, comfortable and very functional. Daniel is so creative with clever ideas that makes the best use of space. I also like his honesty about life.
Thank you so much for your honesty. I will not say I suffer anxiety but I do my best to live with it. I used to think of anxiety ad a personal failure. It is just a fact of my life, not a whole lot different than a physical disability in that human beings cannot exist without both body and brain. I live in a van for the same/very similar reasons you state. Vanlife has truly been a blessing. I have a larger van. I enjoy the size but may downsize for no other reason than economics.
I love his work he did on the van. Like he said, it takes months to get each part done. People need to acknowledge he is happy and down to earth about his lifestyle. Tonnes of people are getting into the life style as the cost of living skyrockets.
Indeed it takes a long time to get things right, and or make mistakes and do it again a better way. And yah, sheesh, I'm so grateful to save money during this crazy time for everyone. Thanks!
@@danielshaw9465 Ya its hard to do that is for sure. My van is broken down with a bad axle that needs replacing and not one mechanic will do it for me.
I love that you have been going through a place of emotional distress but can turn around and create such a great tutorial with what looks like such comfort and ease. A true inspiration to the rest of us gypsy spirits. Thanks for sharing!
Love how this guy View life n how he deal with the human behaybior but most un importante how he inspir people with wat he inows how he share hes experiencei like whe he sai be kind to others i can watch this video over n over n nevera gets old this guy Is good friend yo have.
I love Dani's life philosophy, and he did a great job on creating his mobile HQ! I have to agree that it is sad that people have to go around hiding in their cars and vans - and hopefully one of these days it'll just become normal. Good luck to you, Dani! May you find lots of peace and quiet along with good companionship when you want it.
🫶💜 good advice in this video. Thank you for sharing a bit about your life and your journey. The life is indeed short and we all will die and that’s just reality. I’m living my life a little bit in limbo right now not because I choose to, but it just is and it’s hard to live in limbo. This video just has meant so much to me and I thank you so much. It helps me to reframe again and put things into perspective and really just listen to my gut and listen to my heart. I love the universe. There’s always signs aren’t there.
Thank you for sharing this video! Above and beyond the beautiful interior you’ve created are the words of encouragement and inspiration. Thanks for your honesty. This hits on so many topics that have been rolling through my mind lately. I’m 70 yrs old and have lived on the road twice before. I’ve been fearful of doing it again because of my age. This video has encouraged me to take the leap & just get back out there. I’ve never been as happy or peaceful as when I’m living full time on the road with LESS. Bless you my friend!
Different Media is a fantastic channel. Sincerely, not condescending, I'm so proud of you and thankful that you are bringing this content to the masses. Thanks to Daniel for showing off his home!
I loved this video not only for the fantastic build....but for Dani's amazing message and wisdom. Thank you ...I'm about to embark on this journey as well. very inspiring !!
We are 'educated' for the first 20 odd years of our lives.. The education system is designed to pump out/create, good tax paying citizens. The system is NOT about educating on self sufficiency, life skills or working and building with your hands & brain. Good on ya mate! This is what life is about ! :)
I know that a person can do almost anything they really set out to do or be! At 67 years old I am living proof of that fact! I grew up poor and without any kind of mentor in my life. At 18 I joined the U.S. Navy and never regretted that decision. I created me in my own image of who I wanted to be! Stumbled a lot but kept getting back up! It's our choice and no one else's! I live comfortably on a small fixed income and can look back and say, I was and did all that by myself! Your van and your attitude are spot on! Happy travels my friend!
Getting back up is the best thing we can do in life. After all, what else can we do that will help us grow and be greatful for the changes that come. I grew up quite poor as well, no mentor, had to find my own way. It's a hard road at times, but with time we can find the blessing of working hard and building ourselves from the inside out. 🤜💜🤛
@@danielshaw9465 Couldn't have said it any better my friend! I wish for you the best this life has in store for you! Never look down, unless you dropped something!

Hey I know that guy! :) This is such a great video. I've seen the shifts in you, the commitment, creativity, hours and hours of work and frusteration at times but look what you have built. It is absolutely incredible!! I love the ending. Perfectly imperfect. Love you broskie. ❤️
@@danielshaw9465 Dani, do you have your own channel? If so, please post! I would love to see plans for what you did, and I think you'd find lots of people are interested in your projects and how your life unfolds in practical as well as philosophical ways.
U certainly have a calm & very nice voice. Not hard on the eyes either😉Beautiful work, especially wood slab 4 counter Good 2keep one's hands n mind busy.
His construction is beautiful! I totally agree that getting rid of stuff is freeing but I have things that are sentimental and it's hard to let those things go. Loved this video
Agreed, I had some things that took me years to let go of. It gets easier when you know you're gonna have to let them go eventually anyways. And the connections we have to stuff can keep us stuck in some ways. It all depends how free u wanna be and what's important to you 😉
Brooo… I love it all , every bit ! God bless brotha ; more abundance and peace on your journey ✨ congrats on the $7,500 van ! Always reflect on all the amazing things you’ve done thus far 🎉
Alternative dwellings are great when it's your choice to choose to live that way, but do you ever wonder why less of us are able to buy a traditional home?

Out of the many van life videos I've seen this is only the best. Thank you sir many blessings your way.
omg! Thank you for all the positive wording. I needed to hear that.
His goal is to be kind. That just blew my mind.
Van life has good lessons in getting along with others.
I am so happy to see a wise young man!
I did it because I’m tired of rent raising. Now, my monthly payment is few dollars cheaper. I love it how I could take my home anywhere I want to go.
Daniel, You are so very well spoken... a natural in front of the camera. It's a real talent. Your van build is amazing. Well done.
Well thank yah. I have a background in speaking in front of others. Helps a bit. Plus I just got so much to say. Product of many quiet days.

I definitely am, and surrendering to the freedom these choices have brought me during a time of such high costs
I have to say I agree very well spoken and love your van your very creative ❤
So light and clean and airy.

Hey I know that guy! :) This is such a great video. I've seen the shifts in you, the commitment, creativity, hours and hours of work and frusteration at times but look what you have built. It is absolutely incredible!! I love the ending. Perfectly imperfect. Love you broskie. ❤️

@@danielshaw9465 Dani, do you have your own channel? If so, please post! I would love to see plans for what you did, and I think you'd find lots of people are interested in your projects and how your life unfolds in practical as well as philosophical ways.

Smart man! Your build is beautiful.
His construction is beautiful! I totally agree that getting rid of stuff is freeing but I have things that are sentimental and it's hard to let those things go. Loved this video
Agreed, I had some things that took me years to let go of. It gets easier when you know you're gonna have to let them go eventually anyways. And the connections we have to stuff can keep us stuck in some ways. It all depends how free u wanna be and what's important to you 😉
