She called you back in 5 minutes, canceled the other buyer, and sold you the van at whatever you could pay. I love that so much! Living your best life, man!

I enjoy watching these Van conversions a million times more than the “Van Lifers” with a brand new Sprinter with 40k worth of upgrades.

"I've got a coat hangar...it's super nice."
That my friends, is the way to live life. Appreciate the small things.

[hippygypsy]

I'm so proud of you. You're 21 and doing what all if us retired people want to do. 😊

[vanjoy]

These are the kind of builds that speak to me...those high end sprinter vans are nice but they have zero character. This vanbin tells a story. Great video

[TheHermitHacker]

Damn, the story of the person you got the van from who made sure you got it for what you had, got me right in the feels. The van I have was given to me by a 96 year old woman who of course had to get approval from her family. She gave it to me after learning that I lost everything in a fire a couple weeks prior. The van sat for nearly 30 years. She wanted me to have it, especially knowing that i had just bought an RV so that I would eventually be able to travel around with it and explore this country. Thanks to her and her family, I am the proud owner of a 1979 Dodge and am in the process of doing a full restoration while living in it. She has since passed away. God bless her soul.

I'm proud of you. Thank you for setting a great example for all generations. The lady that sold you the van at a reasonable price for the good karma... Kudos to her.

[jamalishmail]

He is so positive and appreciate every little thing he has in his van. You made my day thank you.

"I went to the woods to live deliberately, to live deep, to suck out the marrow of life. To put out all that was not life; and not, when I come to die, discover that I had not lived."- paraphrased (because it's from memory, and that's the way I remember it, so please, scholars, don't come after me☺), Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Frye is the embodiment of one of my favorite story passages of all time; congratulations to you my friend for learning this so early in life...and to Cedar too...he is the perfect companion. Also, to the sweet lady that sold you this van, I hope you get tons of good karma...that was so cool what you did!

Stay safe, enjoy all this land has to offer. I low key wish I was there.

I love how happy he is. Just him and his dog, in the wild, on their own. It’s very peaceful.

[KratomCruiser]

This is what happened to shaggy and scooby and they kinda re-did the mystery machine so they could live in it

[deanrosenberg]

"Sometimes the coolest way, is the jank way" more true words have never been spoken.

[lorimontcalm]

This guy. Love how much he appreciates what he has. The necklace his grandpa made him, how cool.

[tomsleep]

I love how he admitted to lasoing his dog, because realistically we'd all try it once

[leesvision]

that's really awesome the seller let him have the van for what he could afford. I hope that lady gets a ton of good karma and blessings. nice build bro

[Fryesvan]

Thank you all so much! Jackson did an amazing job shooting this and was awesome to be around. I appreciate all the love and support from you guys!

[livingthedash]

I'm a stock investor. I live in a home I paid 1.2M for, that's gated. Just me and my GSD. I envy this guy and his lifestyle. I'd trade my life for his life. I randomly stumbled upon this video and I've been needing a drastic change. I firmly believe that this is it. Love the video, the van and your character and personality. Thank you for the realization that you inspired me to see.

[amberamber]

That great woman who sold sue to him so he could adventure typifies the van life community in real life. What a legend.

[cheyenne]

The fact that the lady gave it to you for whatever you could — is just. My heart. Ouch. 😩

I love her.
