This weeks video is when I sit down and run you through my master plan, what I want for the channel, for myself and for my team and most of all you lovely lovely lot because that's be honest without you watching these videos I would be where I am today so, from the bottom of my heart I want to thank each and every one of you.
I introduce you to Team Urban and what they do for the channel and how having Tash & Mevi onboard allows me to do so much more and helps them to live the life they wish to lead.
/ lifebeyondbricks
/ mevi
I also talk about setting up a new channel for Fishing but I need your help thinking of a name for the new channel, if you've got any ideas please drop them in the comments below. Likewise I want to know how much food you want to see in my videos, a little here and there or more the merrier? Let me know below.
While I'm asking you questions, if you've got any ideas, questions or videos you'd like to see me make then feel free to drop me a line, I want to help you guys as much as you've helped me.

We’ll done on the 30k. We watch because of you. There are plenty of RU-vidrs with amazing vans who go to fantastic places but we don’t love watching them because we don’t love the people. You make us laugh whatever the video is about and we feel that you are honest. We met you briefly at the last Stratford show. Andy came over and wanted a selfie and you took one of the 3 of us. That is the first time we’ve ever approached a RU-vidr and that’s because you genuinely come over as approachable. Same with the ads, we trust you genuinely believe in the products you promote. We never skip ads, not sure how it actually works but we’re getting the benefit of watching the video for free so are quite happy to watch a as for a couple of minutes if that benefits you. I’m waffling a bit now but we’ll done. Happy you are getting what you want out of it !

@doctorbee415 Год назад

Hi Daz. You HAVE TO keep the food content!!..it's great to just here a few ideas about what.can be rustled up in a motorhome with just a few ingredients. Restaurants you find and little reviews are invaluable too. Keep up the good work. Keep smiling! 👍

@johnh8027 2 года назад

Go for it mate! Whatever the content and whatever you do you make me smile and thats just brilliant, thank you.

Delegation is an art, you are a wise man to play to your strengths and enjoy a quality of life. Many hands make light work is true. Team work is more fun in my opinion Congratulations on making some good life choices and sharing your success with others. Thanks for the fun.

Hi. I locked onto your channel for the sole reason you were “free camping” that’s what we call it in Australia I was put onto your channel through campervibe You have a very natural ability to come across as a very very genuine person which I believe you are I have only been watching your channel for 4 months but I feel I have become invested in it I absolutely enjoy watching each new episode , while free camping is my favourite subject I do love your product reviews and your food related info In my opinion a bit of everything would be a perfect blend because that’s who you are and what you do Keep up the brilliant work and creating your team Regards Bruce Putland Darwin Australia

@jdmproducts6409 Год назад

Love your content, your honesty and clarity with a smile. Telling your audience how you are structuring your future content is simply brilliant, it helps your community understand what we are buying in to. As a brand partner, we are always looking to find RU-vidrs who can help their audience to discover new products that you like and you think are worth sharing with your audience. As a member of your community audience who has watched almost all of your videos it’s clear to see that you want to do the right thing. With 30k audience these eyes are open, ears are open and we are learning something new every time.

@gwilymjones1298 2 года назад

Congrats on 30k you absolutely deserve this and more! 😁. In all honesty I think you would be beast off making a separate channel for your fishing and food, I for one watch because I enjoy seeing Van Life videos, if I wanted to watch cookery shows/videos id search for them. I have noticed so many Van Lifers have gone down that road now that most of their videos is just pure food.

@WildkattOffGrid 2 года назад

Love the ideas .. Fishing channel name suggestion.. Reel Motorhoming. The urban angler. Hook, line and park ups.

@kazlee9213 2 года назад

Youre a genuine nice guy and not two faced like some of the vanlifers, amazing the amount of people i've seen slag others off then when they are in their company they are as nice as pie. Love fishing and love food, also love travel so your channel is spot on for me, thank goodness i found you, have fun, be happy and make the dosh x

@donna-trevorsintransit 2 года назад

Congrats on 30k. Your so likeable and easy to watch. I like your vision. I personally don’t mind a bit of fishing and food on this channel but wouldn’t want it to be your main content. I love watching you be you and having a good time on your travels. Here’s to the future and team urban.

@darrengreen9957 2 года назад

You love food, so do it! That's you, always has been, so keep it coming. I'm hungry... If you get a sponsored product option, go for it, no limits, just be honest, that's why we watch. Thank you!

@suesmith6721 2 года назад

Congratulations on 30k! I have been watching from almost the beginning. I like your cooking/food content alongside your van life content. You’re a natural and your videos are engaging. I don’t normally like fishing but I’d probably watch that too!

@stevenknowles333 Год назад

Daz this is probably the easiest comment to make. GO FOR IT TEAM URBAN!!!! Judging by the rest of the comments I am certainly not on own. I haven't been subscribed that long to your channel, but I've instantly been made a part of your ever growing family. You are absolutely fabulous bro!!

@drewhodge3820 2 года назад

I'm working towards going full-time with my young son. Just taking a bit longer than expected due to my poor choice of tenants. Which is where my income will come from. I've spent the past 6 months totally refurbishing a property after its was completely gutted by the previous tenant. The last 6 months and many thousands of pounds that was saved towards doing up a second property to rent out and build my high spec campervan, got spent on the first property. At least it's got me more focused to get things right this time. So maybe this time next year we will be ready. Plus I've got to get my own house cleared out and ready to rent out. We should have been travelling by the end of this year.

First time watching you, Darren and I’m super impressed at you cheerfulness, personality and obvious honesty. I’m thinking hard, about getting out there, my only obstacle is age and health; something I need to research. You said you have 30,000 subscribers, well, you now have 30,001.

Thank you im 58 and will be embarking on full time van life in the next year,I am presently living with my son ,his wife and my 3 grandchildren due to being homeless after my divorce and a greedy ex husband, my son would be happy for me to stay here indefinitely but my 14 year old grandson needs his bedroom back in my opinion and j need my own space and independence. I have been researching this life for the past 3 years, mainly from a USA point of view as that they were the only videos i could find, so imagine my happy amazement when I came across you and your your great advice ...thanks matey you are a fantastic Inspiration 😀

Great video. What about ‘Darran tackles….’ Could then easily be about fishing or 1kg of hot wings!

@tomtibble7289 2 года назад

Love your videos, I would love to ditch the shackles of a “traditional” bricks and mortar lifestyle and live my best life, your videos have been a great help in allowing me to learn about full time van life and shown me that it is possible! Thank you for spending your free time entertaining and educating us! How about “the urban motorhome - gone fishing” as the name of your fishing channel?? It ties it to your main channel whilst explaining exactly what it’s about!

@darrellbailey3828 2 года назад

Hi Darran, 👋 I'm really enjoying these vids; (I've been watching for a few days now, just discovered by accident really) they're fun, interesting and most of all very useful if (like me) you ain't a clue but always wanted (since a boy) to have a camper van and pick up and fu## off whenever! My Mrs is the driver (I never have) but we've always talked about getting a van and watching your vids has re-lit the interest for me. We basically want to get a van, park it nearby then take it out for breaks whenever we can as I'm self employed now we can do that. So thanks for the inspiration mate and great vids and keep up the good work Darran 👍😀

@laurencefahey2085 Год назад

I’m new to your channel and absolutely love the way you are , I don’t even own a van 😂 but love watching your content , your personality will take you far . You’re doing the right thing you stick to what you’re good at and that is being in front of the camera and let the others do what they are good at .

@TheUrbanMotorhome Год назад

Thats lovely thanks for that! It makes sense doesn't it to let everyone do what they are good at and enjoy and support each other!

This is why I love your Chanel. You're so honest about the money side and what you would to do with your youTube Chanel. Please don't give up on your Chicken Wings videos because I've never seen or heard anyone so excited about them, you should have your own brand of wings. Carry on Daren whatever you chose to do because I will definitely still be watching . 😄

Sometimes the RAW basic, honest, walts and all videos are the best, the reason we started to watch. It doesn't have to be polished and slick. The fact you replied personally was what it is/was about.

We watch for you because you come across genuine and happy person, it’s nice to see you enjoy life with the others as well. We don’t mind the partnership adds as long as they are not 25% of the whole video we can skip past them 😂

Like your channel as it is more "real life" than some of the others, also no "catch you" titles.
