From Vanlife to Houselife 

*DISCLAIMER* Don't go into this thinking this is a vlog. Watch it as a short film and you'll have a much better time. ;) Also, I'm trying to put together another group trip for spring of 2023 and I want you guys to come with me! Vote for where you think we should go here: take.quiz-maker.com/poll4434894xE7014D3B-139

Found him by accident researching builds, loved his sense of humor and subscribed. Binged his videos in one day lol.

Trent, you are extremely skilled and talented at what you do. People like myself and probably many others LOVE crisp production quality, color grading, audio, etc. it really sets the mood. Your short film was not only presented beautifully, but it was sensational. Your videos carry this presence to where it almost feels like we are there with you exploring the world! Thanks for making my day just a little bit better :)

I have not had this much fun watching a video in a long time. So glad I found this channel.

Wait...Trent in an actual house...i dont like this

I’ve never seen a better way to bring up a sponsor, 10/10

I would love to see your diy skills applied to a more permanent living situation. Seeing you renovate a small home would be really cool because I absolutely love the style you did your van in and that applied on a larger scale would be so cool

That part in the bath where the shadow is in the window!! Absolutely killed me!! I love your videos my man

I really like this style of video story telling prior the product placement and in between shots to make it scarily fun! Keep it up! 👏👏👏

This was a little bit adorable 😊 I bought a camper and began traveling. I made it as far as Montana and kind of love it here but still want to travel. Enjoying your videos!!

I really like the amount of effort that goes into these videos, the production and quality seem on a professional level. LOVE IT!! keep it up, my man.

You are such a humble person and I can tell you really use these videos to remind yourself just how lucky you are. Even though you might be going through a tough time mentally truly inspirational. Love you man :)

Btw this is one of my favorite vids you have posted. I love the story aspects in your videos and that is why I love your vids so much!

I loved this sooo freaking much. The story telling. The goofery. The suspense. The cinematic awesomeness. Thanks for sharing your creativity, humor, and good vibes. 😎

You have the deepest conversations man I appreciate you making videos

Bro! Everyone of your videos is like a small movie telling a short story always leaving us wanting more! Amazing work hope your doing great and cant wait to see you next video!

Your vanlife short films are killer - the style is something fresh, interesting, and creative in this space! Not to mention they are all shot very well. Also as a saké lover, I signed up for the Tippsy membership with your discount code - can’t wait for the first box!

I love your videos, many people lak the disiplin to live out in a van all the hard work, planning and organization it take to live like you. I envy you dude living the life!

Awesome story edit dude - don't ever change - you're awesome!!!

Why have I only just found this dude, this has to be some of the best RU-vid production going and he does most of it from a Van. Legend.

What if... this entire time he had a beautiful house and used vanlife as a way to express his creativity and kick start his career. Fucking genius.

Man I love when you do those little cinema films because they’re so entertaining and besides all of that, me and my friends have been thinking about vanlife and I just imagine it as the best thing ever because then we’ll all be free and I’ll finally be able to feel the joy in life just like you my friend, you’re an inspiration to everyone and you’ve inspired me to start saving up for this amazing lifestyle, thank you man!🙏🤠

Trent your videos are so Inspiring and fun to watch, keep the videos coming. My husband and I want to live a true vanlife one of these days, watching your videos with the fun, spooky and quirky places we have seen you stay in..we are living Vicariously thru you until we get our own adventure going! With love from Florida!! ❤️

The editing in this is very impressive. I love the ominous undertones, it made me chuckle. I found you recently, but you're very entertaining and while I'm not apart of the van-life scene, I have enjoyed witnessing it through your videos.

Ha ha, I really enjoyed this. The threats of living in a house; unexpected knocks at the door, noises on the back patio and shadows on the bathroom blinds! Actually a tiny house sounds like something to aim for. You could fit it with things that are too big for the van, like a bath, a log burner and go there for the cooler months. I bet Millie would appreciate it too. 🐕‍🦺

Ohhhhhhhh! Maaaaaaan!!! What a story! This is amazing!!! The way you tell this story is incredible. Very simple subject matter, but such masterful storytelling 🤯. Man, I am so inspired right now. Thank you!!! This video should be an example of how to make a video very interesting!

i think the idea for a home base even if it is just a tiny home is a solid idea

You have one of the nicest van homes I have ever seen. I would literally cry if you got rid of your van. In fact, you also inspired me to construct my own moving mini mansion. Also, you're pretty handsome.

Goddamn the quality and story of this video is so insane. This is the type of videos I always wanted and been looking for.

This was beautifully done! The cooking definitely was something different, but hooked me in as I'm a ramen fan myself. I'm from Alaska. The nature there is just amazing, if you decide to go there. Been watching some of your gameplays and your van videos actually inspired me to try and get going on the van life, not quite there yet, but I will hopefully. Keep it going bro! It's great seeing these uploads.

Glad to see you're well. I dig the style. A group trip sounds amazing!

I just started watching your videos and I fricking love how you do the spooky mood thing with your edits. Like I was not expecting one in this video and you still delivered which makes it all the funnier. Because usually the spooky moments are in spooky places whereas this is not! haha

You are such a vitamin person... Love your videos and how positive you are!!!!

Like how you your videos go from your normal daily up load to a good quality produced short film. Much respect homeboy. Keep up the good.

Another epic vid. Setting your hearthstone to a house every now and then is good for the soul !

I am late to this video but you pretty much got me fascinated with Van Life. Its actually weird to see you in a house, Trent. I found your videos the other night and broke day binging on them. The first one I saw was the ghost town one. Very cool. Your gaming videos crack me up. Your energy is dope. Stay safe out there..or in there..whichever you are doing right now.

Maaaaannnn.. I just found u a couple days ago and started watching ur van life videos. The first minute caught me off guard HARD! I was like, "this guy got me motivated to start my dream and now he said it sucks"

I love your videos, they inject humor, some neat, scary places, and travel. Great editing as well!!

Yeah I have some ideas for building a small travel van for vacationing within a state or two distance but first I want to get my house situation settled. It’s nice having that security of a roof that’s always gonna be in one place and set the way you need.

Wow I love your short-film style videos like this! They are so high quality. Make more pleeeease!!

Im soooo hooked on these videos of van/car life! I love the freedom and the places visited.

It's good to take a break once in a while. I'm happy that you had a fun time, And hopefully, You recharged yourself, And you're ready for more Fun adventures. I look forward to your next video.

Trent, you are a beautiful and fun person. I found your videos a week ago and I love you already! One request….would it be possible to make a video abo Millie? When did she come to your life? How old was she, how old is she? How did you train her to live in a van? What kind of doggie is she? She seems like super sweet, happy and loyal dog. Live on Trent!

I knew someone would knock at the door. Wasn't expecting a sake delivery😆 best integration I've seen so far👏💙

Great video, love the camera pov and the story of the escaped inmate. Nice touch!❤

For some reason, this was an IMMENSELY emotionally soothing piece of content. Thanks for making my day...

Easily one of your best videos yet!! The angles, lighting, setting, story- it all just hits perfectly. Love the blend of vlog, meets joy, meets horror without any of them needing to dominate the direction of the video. Really genius. Makes me think filming, music and video games could benefit from a better balance of emotion. Sprinkle some genuine joy in the horror, slide some stress into the bliss and I think everything will start to have more interest. Edit: Also I've been saying for a year that you make good vanlife videos but always felt like a homebody to me. One of these days you're gonna have to get yourself a place to call home and stop living on the road 24/7. I don't feel that way about all van lifers but you specifically enjoy romance, gaming, cozy stability- all sorts of things that are tied to a place that can be your headquarters. Idk don't listen to me though what the hell do I know. I just want you to be happy and successful bro! This has been VeganKoopa-see you next time!

You should go into acting because your facial expressions?🤣 Priceless. And the cute little kitty looking like a cup of milk on your phone completely upstaged that escaped convict😊

loved this! This really had the quality of a short film. Reminds me of Peter Mckinnon, love that you bring that quality to your videos/short films.

Hey man I truly appreciate the content you put out. It's diffrent and unique! You should never say you'll never afford a house like that bc you will. Just grind youtube and you will explode soon. I can see it. Your editing is second to none and your sound is fantastic. Your ideas are unique and you'll do fine

New subscriber here!! Actually a couple of weeks already. I literally marathon all your videos and I really love it! Like, ALL. Hoping you create van life again soonest!! Keep it up!! 🤍

TRENT! This video was sooooo good brother! Definitely one of my favorite ones that you’ve made so far😁🔥. Such great film quality and so creative. Plus that ramen, so BOMB! Glad you got some away from the van for yourself, you definitely deserve it. Excited for your next video! See you soon🤝🏻.

lmao i grew up taking baths and currently dont have 1 and am missing the nostalgic relaxation

This was great, loved how you were getting all paranoid in the house life LOL. Liked the video. It must have felt nice to have some elbow room. I moved out of my apartment in Portland Oregon in June of this year and have been living in my travel trailer since. In a weird situation where I would probably like to get another apartment, but Portland has a really bad crime and homelessness problem right now. In fact the main reason I moved out of my apartment is because criminals and drug addict weirdos kept knocking on my door in the middle of the night, probably hoping I'd open the door so they could bust inside and steal my stuff and/or hurt me... it just didn't feel safe. Thinking about moving to the suburbs, but then whenever I commute to Portland it'll be 30+ minutes of stop and go traffic. The biggest sticking point for me between the van/trailer life vs. apartment/house life is plumbing... aka showers and toilet. It's the spoiled city slicker side of me but over the past 4 years of owning this travel trailer I've never once used the water or waste tanks. The idea of having a tank right underneath where I eat and sleep full of my waste sounds like a path to health problems. Maybe I'm wrong and the tanks are sealed off well enough where it wouldn't be an issue, but even knowing that a bunch of my waste is right underneath me in a tank and that I'd eventually have to dump it and clean it out... it sounds awful. So basically I either use the facilities at whatever campground I'm staying at if they have them, or I drive to the nearest coffee shop or McDonald's or something to use their bathroom. My first (really) big trip with the trailer in 2018/2019 I went from Oregon to New York to the Florida Keys and back to Oregon, visited 45 states and used dispersed camping sites/truck stops the whole way (literally don't think I ever spent money on a RV park or anything once that whole trip). It was great except for the curse of having to go #2... sometimes I'd be staying in the middle of nowhere and would have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest McDonald's to use the bathroom, but that's often where I would go for internet so I could get work done anyway so it made sense. Now I have Starlink internet so going to coffee shops or McDonald's to work is no longer necessary which is a blessing since it feels kinda awkward sitting in a McDonald's for 6 hours to work. Honestly I really could live happily in this trailer if I could take long hot showers and it was somehow connected to sewer instead of just some tanks underneath the trailer. The older I get the less easy it becomes to run out to fast food places or use the facilities at a campground... plus other campers probably realize that I'm not using my tanks by my walks of shame to the bathroom every morning. Staying at an RV park on the coast right now and every morning (twice per morning, actually) I make the walk to their bathroom and back to my trailer and have to walk past a bunch of other trailers and several eyes are on me, probably saying to themselves "there he goes to take a dump again." It's embarrassing. My trailer actually does have a toilet and a small shower inside... so I'm thinking to myself do I suck it up and finally start using the water and waste tanks and just be diligent about dumping and cleaning out the tanks? Might just end up doing that if I decide not to move back to the city or suburbs. Someone needs to invent a toilet that doesn't rely on plumbing or dumping, like once your waste goes into the tank some crazy scientific process happens where it converts waste into clean water then evaporates the water or something. Whoa this comment has gotten super long, if you stopped reading halfway through I don't blame you, but another concern is: the world is kinda eff'ing crazy right now. With crime and homelessness everywhere, everyone being more aggressive... being stuck in the city or suburbs if shiz really hits the fan sounds like a recipe for disaster. First world problems I guess, just don't really have anyone to relate to about this and as you can probably tell it's been weighing on my mind for a long time. Love your channel and your videos help me feel like there is someone to relate to out there.

You went crazy on this video. Very cool. It goes from vlog to cinematic.

I live by myself in a four bedroom house and your van life looks so much more interesting to me, all about perspective

Get yourself a decent size house. If your considering getting a house. Doesn't have to be big but just the right side to please you and your cute little dog. Make sure it has a fence in yard for the safety of your dog. All you need is maybe 2 bedrooms and a 2 bathrooms. And if you want to go all out have a half bath for your guests. Then make sure your house has a nice size pantry and a dishwasher. And have a place for a full washer and dryer to fit into your house. And a place to store all your cleaning supplies and toiletries for you to store thrm in. And it wouldn't hurt to have a plan to store all your tools and gear in as well. Now after all that I mentioned and you have enough money to put in a hot tub for your backyard. Then get one unless you want to put in a swimming pool. But in your master bathroom make sure you get a jetted tub. So you can enjoy relaxing at the end of each day. And wake up in the mornings feeling all freshed for the day.

I like the way you leaned into that Alert txt. Always a fun watch!

Trent thank you for your videos, love to listen your stories.

Trent your super skilled man. Keep grinding and you will Achieve all your goals.

A beautiful life lesson ! that's it ! Love you man a really good vibes !

It's so cinematic, I'm screaming!!

Hey Trent, love watching your videos, it’s evident that you really care about what you create(van, videos, etc.) I am currently finishing my own van build, and I’m trying to make connections with people in the community. I live in Idaho right now and would love to buy you a coffee and hang out sometime if you’d like, I’d appreciate any advice you have for someone just getting into a nomadic lifestyle and I hope to make it on the 2023 trip. 🤘

Good for you A real home is safe, stable and comfortable. When you do decide to buy one you will be ready. You are young and can enjoy what you are doing now. Yes, take a break/vacation from Van life. You’re young so just enjoy. Your cute, great smile and funny.

Hello Mr. Print, love that you where able to escape from van life because after 3 years it could get a little stale, loved how professional and good this video looked it was weird seeing that alert pop up right after you said that, wait... alert, window man... TRENT YOU NOT SAFE!!!

Bro your videos are amazing dude every day at work for break or just at home watching never miss a video keep up the great content Trent 😊

I don’t think that “a vacation from your vacation” is a valid statement. I look at a vacation as something you experience outside of your norm. I grew up on a farm, and I’ve recently moved to a city and work in a factory, but going to my mom and dad’s and taking care of the cows and helping dad split wood is a vacation. It’s now outside of my norm, and something I find comfort and joy in. So… tomato… potato. You do you. We have the right to seek our own joy and our own “breaks from our normal.” Live your life. Much love.

Having a place where it's ok to be there has been the biggest thing for me my first year on the road. I found the boondocking spot in the S Dakota Badlands. Been here for weeks and oh man! I just love that I haven't had to drive anywhere for weeks. I did get to cabin sit in Washington for a few weeks and that was cool but I still slept in my van :D Love the video!!! You're so good at the scary!!!

It is great to take a break. Also, Arbour Season is bad ass! I have been diggin' on their RU-vid (and Spotify) channel for the past month. Stay health and safe, homie!

I absolutely love and enjoy seeing you chef it up!

This evening was the first time I have run across your channel. I am a full time RV dweller (small class C), currently enjoying a long term housesit in the Bay area, thought your video would be fun to watch as I sunk into the giant bathtub! Today, I made a beautiful mushroom and arugula quiche in the luxury of a huge kitchen. Also, I used to live in the North End of Boise, which is where I think you are. I am looking forward to following a channel that belongs to someone I apparently have quite a bit in common with.

Ha, ha, ha. This channel is exciting and mysteriously funny at times. Thanks. Merry Christmas everybody.

Glad you got to take a break from the van life and enjoy the beautiful bath tub along with making the delicious ramen in that great kitchen👍👍. Loved the touch at the end with the shadow in the window. Can’t get away from the creepy😲

I love him 😂 his sense of humour is everything ❤ and so handsome

Love your idea of buying land and building a tiny house as base that you can come back to. I also hope to meet you on the road some day. It would be dope. I’m working towards the same thing. Affordable housing and land never goes out of style. Finite baby!

I live in New Zealand and I love your videos it's my form of escapism by watching you live a different life have enjoyed this video thank you

Your videos feel like movies at some moments and your transitions to your sponsors are so well done 👍😂

As a big fan from Boise, ID... this was awesome. Happy to see you get some time in Boise, glad we could share our weeks of triple digits with you, lol. All that aside, this video was creative as hell and fun to watch! Thank you for sharing and good damn work on that Ramen!

His acting level just awsome

😊 I’m glad you were able to enjoy , started watching your videos today and definitely subscribing. Great videos

You CRUSHED that Tippsy commercial!! Putting those film skills to work!

Bro you should definitely start building tiny homes in different places like nearby lakes, woods, etc your van is amazing, I could only imagine your design work for a small home. Def should start that as your next project

your videos are getting more scary everytime 😆

15:12 your buddy has a nice house and all, but i love the architecture and color of this house right here. its gorgeous! and that ramen looks awesome lol

Another great video Trent, I love your videos. You should do a trip to Australia 🇦🇺, hire a van and just travel around this great nation.

I loved the suspense at the door package hahahah you're brilliant

Awesome video. Loved it 🤘🤘 I am sure you are having a great time over there. Nothing better than a comfort of a house that’s for sure. Even that I love the possibility of doing the same what you do temporarily just to experiment all that but house is a house 😊. You are awesome buddy 🤘🤘 keep it going 💪

Really glad I discovered your channel, I love it! Also what watch are you wearing it looks insane. Keep it up bro!

Dude Trent, I know I'm late to the game, but man this was such a dope episode. Seemed like some real fantastic actual cinematography kinda stuff! Keep up the good work bud!

@TTTHEFINEPRINTTT Your episodes are truly helping me during one of the darkest periode of my life. Thank you sooooooo much👍❤ Please give Mily a hug from me, she is just the coolest and sweetest little Pitty💖
