Like I always said, his videos are like therapy to me

Having grown up on the East coast in the 80’s, the diner was our home away from home. Thanx for the ride, Van, really enjoyed it!

"Crummy crappy week " And then camera falling down was so perfectly in sync..too good van...

[andy_an_outdoors_guy]

I love this video - there's a sense that you've departed a little from the recent formula - not in a a bad way, and maybe due to circumstances. But I really love what's going on in this film. thanks.

[camkimbrell]

I don’t rewatch YouTube videos NEVER 👎 but I have rewatched some of yours I find them fascinating the thought process the care the attention to detail and details not chosen to be attended to

"It begins with a remembered line from a long forgotten poem."

Beautiful line there

[vinofarm]

Thank you, Van. You are a poet. And that drone sequence was beautiful.

[johnnewton]

It’s finally getting cold enough that I can wear my Spirited Man sweater. Thanks for everything, Van.

This Spirited man does the same thing as Van. Writing or engraving torque setting 0:31 or more often wrench size 1:31 next to the bolt on the product. Massive time saver.

This video feels like the essence of both living in the moment and reminiscing about the past to me. It has something extremely meditative and relaxing about it, yet it's extremely entertaining to me. Great video!

[bandits]

Your best episode yet.
-Thanks, from South Korea

[TeddyWinny]

There's a true genuine tone that I always indulge on when I watch your vids. This made my day and I take comfort in your storytelling.

[TheGunnerStorm]

Thanks for this. For some reason, people don’t talk about bad weeks, bad days or bad moments. It’s almost cliche in today’s society.
I’m waiting for lab results to find out if I have a rare blood cancer and it’s been a challenge. I have the mindset that it is what it is and I am blessed no matter what, but there are still hard days and a constant weight in my chest.
I ordered the Die Trying hoodie and will wear it with pride.
Keep doing what you do.

[sidsain]

This video cured my headache after a bad week. Thanks.

[TheCVdaily]

This is the kind of YouTube I love. Thank you Van!

[MrBarneybubbles]

I never leave comments on yt but good job, thank you.

[jessicafewer]

So beautiful Van. The simplicity does something to calm my anxious mind and inspire me at the same time.

Van, This video is amazing. Your “Bad Week” simple video is exactly what we’re all here for. Your cameras falling over, and mundane chores are exactly why I watch for some reason. Your honesty. Thank you. My life keeps getting more functional and organized thanks to these videos. I feel more normal thanks to you… or more comfortable with my uniqueness.

[Zoltron]

The simplicity of your art is beautiful Van. Keep making content for the world to enjoy. Thank you!
