Добавлен 6 мар 2014
Hey :) I’m Christian Schaffer, and I’ve lived on the road full-time since May 2018. This journey began in 2013 when I left the corporate world to build my career as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. After 14 months of SUV living - I bought the van I now call home. Van life enables me to experience and document the beauty of our natural world, while also having my home and office nearby. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey, you might be inspired to hit the road or spend more time outdoors. Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road 🚐 #vanlife

As of January 2024, I’ve been living on the road full-time for five and a half years as a photographer and filmmaker. First in an SUV, and now this van. Here’s a tour of my current tiny home on wheels after four years of living in it full-time, including a complete rebuild of the lower half after a disastrous water leak that destroyed my original build. Lots of changes in this new build that I’...

Just found your channel liked the video are you coming back?
The intro was amazing what camera do you use?😊
A little strange no videos after such a concerning video..hope all is well and safe
Happy Birthday for a month a go. 🎂
Starlink just unveiled a new mini version the other day
I'm from Sweden and there is a rule here. You have to by law have a fixed home adress. I think I would love to live a Van life, but it will be impossible with that adress. US doesn't have those rules?
I've done a lot of car camping here in NZ. Each town can have different thoughts about car campers, and if you don't have a definite route planned out it's often just too much trouble to determine at night. BUT, as long as you are neat and tidy, information centres are usually set up for people to have a sleep before moving on. They often have toilets as well. Rest areas on major rural motorways are also good and also often have toilets and you can replenish your water supply. Some even have RV waste disposal areas.(To save you from tipping biological waste as you travel). Local information centres are great for recommending low cost camping areas for between $10-$20 a night if you'd like a shower.(I carry a camping solar shower which works great if you're remote). There is so much to see in NZ that every day on the road is wonderful once you've mastered the basics.
Get a cat! 🐈
I was reading through the comments to see if anybody asked what the dimensions of your bed couch area are. Could you share that please? I'm just starting my van build and I'm going with the same floorplan.
Hi Christian, where was the filming of this video? I know most places have laws against flying drones in National parks and just wanted to get an idea before heading out to Banff (Alberta).
I just don't understand how you watched someone circle around for 2 hours and THEN still allow them to approach you. Glad you're O.K, important lesson's learned here.
This is a funny one 😊
What was the original price for the van build?
Well what'd you expect with a Dodge 🤦♂️
Wow, you are an incredibly gifted photographer/videographer, story teller, etc. And you love what you live, and it shows! Hurray, keep doing it!!!
Looks like you need to get a cat
Is it Washington state or the state of Washington? Asking for a friend
Hey Christian, post something so we know you're ok :)
That sliding door definitely has pros and cons hahaha
What's fierce independence? Do you feel like it's a struggle or fight to be independent?
😍🚴
Beautiful van 🚐
Sorry for a question you surely get a lot, I've thought you even said such in a few videos, BUT, what service do you use for compilation of sound/music with out worrying about cooyright
Wow your hair is white
Muy buena
Your fear of crawling spiders made me smile
Absolutely incredible just found your channel today I wish I would have found it sooner but things happen for a reason I've been looking at camper trailers lately I'm going to dive in myself and do basically the same thing or at least try I've been interested for many years very informational very inspirational I'm on the East Coast though Long Island New York I'm thinking of taking a trip Tennessee where there is unrestricted land and you can homestead The things you say about permanent and impermanence really hit home excellent work absolutely love it
Call the police is the sensible option. The wine issue, if you spill red wine, pour white wine on it, this works like magic. Be safe 🙂

Ha! That Bose Bluetooth speaker made me laugh. "Battery eighty percent. Connected to..." I have the same speaker.
He may have been a security guard patrolling the area. Maybe there were break ins recently? Maybe people complained about stealth campers? He may have driven next to and parked in front of you to let you know he’s watching. Same with the other vehicle. I used to work at night and would sit in my car to eat dinner at odd hours, and I had encounters with police and security guards who behaved similarly. Glad you’re ok!
I think you are really making progress on the guitar, nice work! A cabin in the woods (or a tree house) sounds amazing. I never thought of living in a rainy environment as beneficial for work but it makes sense. I left a rainy/cloudy/dreary environment many years ago (MI) to out West (CO) where the sun shines most of the time. I've been in Utah for 4 years now and if I were to wait for a rainy day, I'd be waiting a few weeks or months 😄 Thanks for the great videos and insight.
Beautiful
Have the same Genius jumper. You gotta hold down the button on the right to put it in boost/jump start mode. Otherwise it's just supplying 12V at low amperage. Never enough to jump start. Had mine for 6 years. Probably jump started truck and car 20 times with it. Always worked 1st time. Just needs to go into Jumpstart mode (it clicks repeatedly when it's in jump start mode). I can get about a dozen jumps of a charge.
I pick up garbage where I stay. I feel better and so does my spot. It’s even better when I don’t have to pay to throw it away.
Makes me think of that creepy *Grapist that they just caught up in mountains while he was attacking a victim!
Don’t know your real situation, only saw 1 other vid of yours , it said you got some guy , stays in his vehicle 🚗?? So how are you alone ?? Or this vid you were only you driving , camping 🏕️ no1 other vehicle ??
The people who walk buy , are the numbers and friends you’d have if living in 1 place . If introvert, close the door . 🤷♂️🤷♂️
you've inspired me to do more foto stuff. Thank you a lot!

Are you going to post any new vlogs?
very beautiful girl
what a lovely video totally forgot where i was!
Chances are higher to be hit by lightning that get my car stolen or broken into on this moment. It is nice weather outside.
Happy Birthday, Christian ! 💐💐 Be safe and trust your instincts about other people as you did with the other van circling your van. It did seem rather odd. Hope you have less encounters with mice and the the battery issue. I pray for your safe travel ! 😊🦅
He was definitely not working the courage to say hello in the dead of night. Major red flags, girl! Trust yourself always!!! ❤
Hollah, I know you have your heart set in buying in Washington…. You should give Maine a try! It’s Washington without the anger and expense.
Cops will lie to you to get a reaction they're not trustworthy so watch what you say watch what you do !!
Thank you for sharing this, stunning work and explained really well.
How are you ? 🤔🌺
