Honda Element Tour (2 years into VanLife) 

Hey! I’m sooooo happy that I found your channel!!!!! I love the way you outfitted your Element…it’s brilliant!!!! I have an old 98 Accord that I have been wanting to turn into a camper. I’ve been trying to get ideas for over 4 years. I am trying really hard to do something for myself. I have been dealing with a lot of stress after my divorce but I have the innate feeling of wanting to be outside all the time. Away from the city on dispersed federal land. I have purchased everything you can imagine to do this but because of my CPTSD I second guess my actual abilities all the time. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and would love to get your assistance with converting my old car into a home away from home getaway. I think that it would be easier for me to stay focused if I had someone helping me. You are more than welcome to come stay here if you’re ever in the area. Please let me know if there’s any way you can fit me in your schedule. Thanks

You could tell this guy ACTUALLY lives in this thing. Unlike some of these other guys who just film themselves traveling and act like they live in their vehicles full time

Finally - someone who can show how many years playing Tetris is NEVER wasted!!!! I LOVE this video. You have got it down to exactly what you need. The way you lay everything out logically - you really understand "a place for everything, and everything in its place". Awesome job; I'm really impressed. Thanks for sharing.

“And here is another piece of foam incase someone wants to spend the night!”😀😀😀

I always wondered how people live in such small cars and seem to have everything so neat and barely have anything there. Yours is so realistic and it shows that you didn’t take things out of your car just to do a video. I love it.

This is the realist van/suvlife tour I've seen! It's not always fancy things and space. It's crowded and a bit chaotic! I've been doing this for almost a year, and this is what it's really like! Instant follow! 💚💚💚

You said you have to clean but it’s obvious that you’ve been maintaining the cleanliness of your Honda home for yourself and your cute little dog. No stains no spills couldn’t even see any shedding fur from your dog either. Enjoyed your video giving a thumbs up.

She’s a biggin I can’t believe dude fits

Dude! This is the FIRST realistic van tour I have seen! Awesome doors! Love the water pipe, love the bed. You are organized! Nice set up. Pretty puppy! Subbed!

You know your water rack on the roof put a shower head on the end of it then you'd be able to take showers and because it's black the sun will heat it up portable shower

If your build works for you, THAT is all that matters. You have a lot of interest/hobbies/work related 'things' and know where it's all at and that is a biggy when living in such a small space. THANK YOU for sharing your home on wheels.

This is real vanlife, good sh*t man! Appreciate the tour, first time seeing the doors on an Element like that. Awesome. Wish you the best

Amazing that when I was growing up my parents told me to go to college or I would end up living in a van down by the river… fast forward to 2024, cost of living is insane and I’ll never afford a house. I’m watching this finding myself envious of a guy who get to drive around the country living in his van by the river. Keep it up dude you’re living the dream

VAN LIFE! good set up keep chasing the dream you want. Proud of you homie

Honda element is literally one of the most functional cars ever built

Best part of the build is the lock box love that you have your protection with you at all times

This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I subscribed. I love watching van life and camping videos. I just love the roof water system and the way you store your laundry.♥️

Had an Element and loved it. More spacious inside than people seem to think, perfect small/urban stealth camper set-up. Living that Travels with Charley lifestyle that too many people talk about but never experience.

You inspire me brother to get out and really do some LIVING. Meanwhile I'm stuck in this house. Dreaming...☮

You just popped up on my stream, I am intrigued. Hope you make new vids. I like to follow. Sorry to hear about your lost solar panels 😢. Cute pup 💕

Owned an Element for 2 years and outfitted it into a camping machine. Those vehicles were ahead of their time.

Keep doing your thing, brother! I'm envious of a life that does not require giving up most my pay on what we call Necessities

I think it’s awesome that you live this way. Even though you have the means to not. It goes to show that we don’t need much to live and be happy.

Thumbs up dude! You got everything u need in your tiny Honda Element and seem to be happy with it. I live in an own house and feel like missing so much things. I have the greatest respect for you

Okay, when you dropped that rear hatch my jaw dropped! Great organizational skills!!

I absolutely love it. !! I like that you showed it raw and un edited because some may like all the Instagram super clean and what not I loved this video was my first time watching and I think what ever makes you happy heck ya !!

Awesome! I love this! I just got back from travelling around for 3 weeks in my 2005 skola fabia station which I converted into a micro camper as well. I love how easy life became and how everything becomes a ritual and everything gets its own place to live. Well done and enjoy it for as long as you like!

Dude this sick! Love the wrap and tour, thanks for sharing man!

This is awesome! Good job I love how you have everything set up!

You are very organised and I love that you know where everything is at any given time! Your wee dog is adorable. 🐕 ✌️

I cant believe how much you got into that passenger side. You are amazing.

Awesome setup! I would love to see you show us your mad yo-yo skills! That would be crazy awesome!

Just found your channel….love the signatures! …nice set up!

This is awesome bro I subbed within 30 seconds. You rock man, I’ve lived in my car for a couple weeks at a time for work and travel. I keep a planet fitness membership and shower at them. I don’t have a home I stay with a relative. The only thing I don’t bring with me is some of my tools, I’m constantly downsizing. My car is a 5 speed versa sedan. You have everything organized it seems like

Legit nicest most functional vanlife vehicle

So this is what a turtle looks like without its shell.

Hey man, the fact that you are a big dude and still manage to live in that small car is great! Keep up the good work

This gives me the idea to turn my fit into a camper, its got the right amount of room imo.

It’s quite a mess to be honest but if you’re happy that’s all it matters and I respect that-heck I wish I could feel that free but with wife and kids and a mortgage not gonna happen anytime soon 😅 wish you luck in your endeavors sir.

I like the idea. But its time to take everything out at once and make a choice if it goes back in. Like the cups, the chalk, basically everything that's not making life easier now. Much Love dude.

Keep it up dude, living the life, looks good!

Just found your channel. Love Hades looks like my dog Hank. You've got a new subscriber from Texas.

Never thought a Element looked that dope

You git it going on. Way to go. And God keep you and your little dog safe

We have two Elements and if we were younger we’d do this, at least part time. Your set up gives me anxiety! If it were me, I’d empty the whole thing out and start from scratch and reorganize. I bet you’d feel so great!

I like the water idea. You have a good set up. Those back doors are definitely convenient.

I am new here and loving it. I am working on my mini van setup and you gave me some great ideas. ❤

The water pipe is pure genius!!!

New Sub! You two came up on my suggested videos so here I am and here I'll stay. I like the Element, I've not seen or noticed one before being in Motor and Vehicle Cities, my Mom had a continental with suicide doors and I love that about your Honda might have to go test drive one, I'll tell em you sent me! Happy Trails!

I started off just like you, it was supposed to be temporary but I lived in my 2017 Chrysler 300 and ended up loving the freedom and waking up next to my morning appointments . I took care of so many things but my car broke down I ended up homeless I couldn't afford the repairs which kept happening and the last time I used up my resources and couldn't pay. But I loved living on the road and showering at the gym .. just wish I had a car your size or a van . The only problem is you better be prepared if your car ever breaks down ..

Duncan yo yo’s ....... I still have 1 from the 60’s . Great build‼️

Awesome video, love your whole set up and of course your pup.

Appreciate the tour! I love seeing realness.

Hi I just came across your channel I actually like your setup for a small space. It just needs a good cleaning. I hit that subscribe button and now I’ll go down the rabbit hole and watch some more of your videos.

Yooooo! when i first saw your yo-yo case after the heat gun i was so surprised and stoked! I Was like "wait is that a yoyo case with some goodies in it?" A fellow thrower myself. Made me happy to find that on an un yo related video. Thanks for the entertainment!

Damn nice definitely the coolest element on RU-vid you also seem like a chill ass dude nice vid man

The water tube on top is clever! This is an awesome build so far

Just subbed. Was watching Rosie living in her Element but she decided to take a hike on the Appalachian trail i think. Somewhere anyway. Element. Owners get together somewhere every year and swap stories. So I shall watch you. Hello from N.C. Love your doggie

I just found your channel. I am a new subscriber. Nice set up.

You are a nice guy i can tell. Cool rig. If i wasn’t married with 6 children id probably do the same. Keep smiling man!

LOL i wasnt expecting "hades" for the adorable little dog

Really impressed with storage and room in the Element!

Nice build homie, glad to have found the channel. I have an SUV I wanted to turn into a Glamper for when I travel, good information in here

❤❤❤❤❤ love the tour of your element thanks hun. ❤❤❤

I guess that’s better than living on the streets. Your doggie is the best part 😊

Love your build..love your energy...Thank you for this video....❤❤❤

Life is going to bless you with a Mini RV, dude! You see 💯✌️🫡

That’s a damn legit van tour ppl ❤love it

I do not know why but I feel jealous your his life ❤

I see Chucksters name next to your door handle, that dude is a frigging legend!!!!

I like the yo-yos, reminds me of terraria✌🏼

Damn dude 😅 aren’t you scared of a fire ? You have A LOT of shenanigans in there . Definitely need to part with some stuff . Be safe out there 🙌🏼

Dude i was watching this and honestly we could be twins you look so much like me its pretty crazy really good content i definitely subscribed and will be following your journey bro safe travels maybe one day you will head south to Texas be safe out there bro

Epic. 👏👏👏👏 I had a element but downsize to a smaller car because of the high gas prices. I was always going to convert my element but never gotten a chance. Really miss that car but I'm happy with my civic. Your build was really nice.

Love the no build, build. You seem to have all the creature comforts you need!

Nice set up, and make the set up for yourself, you live in it, we simply come along for the ride.

The perfect nerd van, respectfully

Hey just to let you know your ac recirculation pulls air from the passenger side by the floor board so having it blocked like that wont let your ac cool very well and will wear out your blower motor faster

i like that writing on the side, looks like "cyberpunk wasteland" patina to it XD Awesome!!! Best wishes and be safe g, head on a swivel

New viewer. Love the element dude!!! Also your dog is so cute

Wow! Your van is really crowded. At least, you have everything you need for work all within arms reach. I hope living and working in your van is allowing you to save money to get a bigger vehicle at some point. I didn't hear you say where your pup sleeps, and rides on your journeys.

I subbed off the build alone awesome stuff bro

Bro I swear you look just like this dude that used to deliver metal to my shop in Fremont California lol

Quite impressive, love that you travel with the pup, I’m gonna do this soon. Live your best life and f#%k the haters, stay safe & take care.

A lot of element enthusiast build the sliding drawers long and deep in back of their cars it Organizes everything and easy to find allowing more room They also put up a Tent roof from inside of car allowing them more space as well to sleep in during summer months.

Happy to see you doin your thang man! It's Ken from Chicago! Lost your number about a year ago 😭. If your journey ever takes you to the Chicagoland area definitely hit me up so I can give you a tour!

My dads been making his renegade into a camping vic definitely gonna have to tell him to watch

when he first opened the doors it was like the inside of the TARDIS 😊

Amazing 💯 the suicide doors and that kind of trunk are perfect for that kind project 😉 what a lovey copilot 🤩

You remind me of an old friend, happy trails sir!

If this dude looks like he does and lives in a car and gets people to stay the night there is hope for everyone boys

Great video I have an idea. How about get yourself a cargo rack for the back and give you more space build a box on it so you can keep it locked. Take care. Be careful.

Hi! I am a new subscriber and I love your rig! I am a disabled grandmother “of size” and I travel for suicide awareness. I used to camp in a 2010 Dodge grand Caravan, but I found taking another person and pets did not work in such a small space. Now I bought n live in a 40 foot school bus with a wheelchair lift. I have done a no build build. And I am waiting for parts to fix the wheelchair lift, so I am stuck on my property outside of Palestine Texas. But I am looking forward to getting back on the road and I am also looking for a different vehicle for local short trips as the cost of diesel makes it expensive running to town in this beast. I love the simplicity of your Honda. Personally, I am looking for a full-size van as I travel with several pets and either a grandchild or my sister-in-law. God bless, stay safe and enjoy your travels. JeffeysMom ❤️👍🏻👨‍🦼🚍

Definitely some chaotic good going on. You should show your organization process! I bet it would be good

Please organize your car!! It will take a full day or two but omg you will feel so much better once everything is organized

Hey bro Herb I hope 1 day you make it big enough to afford a sprinter van omg you could make and unbelievable build out of those bro.

Bro would be the coolest discord mod ever he could just invite his kittens into his element

thanks for the tour! Stay Safe out there.

Good positive attitude. Enjoy yourself and have fun.

I love it!!!!! I would need a little more room for my proton packs and Ghostbustering equipment, I'm a geek.
