Great to see you back
What camera are you using?
I think I still have to catch up with a few van build videos, I really enjoyed what I watched so far.
🤟🏽
Hey man, as far as sourcing stuff, planning camping etc… you might be able to try to hire a virtual assistant from UpWork.com or something along those lines to pre-research all that stuff before you get there?
You need to take time off.. For whatever reason 🤗. Everyone needs a break from their job.. Even you tubers! So well done for taking time off👏🤗
Hi Max, can you please tell me where that beach side town is, its lovley
Lee brought me here and I’m soooooo so sorry for your loss.

So sorry Max for ur soul crushing loss..it was sooo apparent you both loved each other! Lee was overcome with her pain and depression..she couldn’t pull herself out of it..love you Max..sending you love and peace..Max ur amazing! 😘
Hey max and occy. Me and my Inglish collie Max are western Australia van lifers and have been living out of a 1995 ford panel van for little over a year and don’t have plenty of room what would be the first little mods you would do to feel comfortable in a rocking panel van
I like your current campervan whereby its like well equipped compare to the previous one…Your youtube made me realise that I need to include my furry babies for my next vacay or short getaway….Solo life sometimes v needed to purify our mind…Anyways still u are lucky as u have a great buddy (Occy 🙂 )
Max…please STANDUP FOR LEE
Você e lee formavam lindo casal.🇧🇷😪
Sorry for your loss. We know Lee was a big part of your lives. 🙏🙏
First clip I have seen of yours and it’s honestly inspiring! I am currently studying paramedics, anddd hopefully joining van life soon too, so relating on a few levels to say the least. So incredible to see all that you guys are doing 🤩
Dear is she alive now your girl friend that lee. ?
So sorry Max for your loss. So so sorry. Please be ok. Lee was so special, but would want you to be ok. Hug Occy and he will help you heal. Stay strong.
You both look great and so happy. Wish you peace and happiness.
Dog is man best friend, like occy. People change and may go away from your life but occy always stay faithful to you. That’s why I love dogs.
love your doggy!!!! xo
OCCY rules!! What a sweet loving cutie!
Tried but can’t watch without Lee
invite a German girl to travel with you otherwise you’re not enriching the life of someone who will enrich yours 🙏!
Love it!
Happy 2021!!! Occy is the best dog ever…
Love you Max!
Good luck with everything and I hope you have a great 2021…..stay safe , van looks great. Hi from Busselton WA 👍☮️☀️
Kenapa sekarang sangat jarang bikin vidio
Sweetest dog ever!
As a surfer from Hawaii, who rode a wave before she could walk, you should NEVER feel guilty for surfing, even when your partner doesn’t. A partner with his or her own passion will understand that. They will never stand in the way of something that lifts your soul, nor ever diminish that light. A good fit of a partner is two people who is already fulfilled in their own life. When you find this, you’ll know and feel the difference of what it means to share your life with someone who is always looking to let you be you %100 of the time. But this goes both ways.
Solitude is a beautiful partner and teacher, so is privacy. May your life journey always be filled with gratitude, deep connections and meaningfulness.
Also as a person who has done hardcore, extensive traveling around the world alone and with a partner, I speak with experience that fleeting places, sights and people will never measure up to a life that is deeply rooted in connections to a community. That’s my own experience anyway.
Welcome back
Get a partner that is a surfer it might be better for you both
Sending you love, Max.
You are a positive person, and I love your videos and your Journey!
Max gets his groove back…..and everyone cheered! Good to see Occy back to a healthy weight! Carry on and more please.
Great job on the van!
Give homemade fresh food and helps dog
interpret
and feel more paid to discuss more.. .as takes listening skills.
Can read online
about how adds health and longevity to pets.
Also if vegan may help
to think how people who were close to land by living next to nature would
consider predators as being given food,
as leaders of their habitat.
They also have to listen to small voices of other creatures for doing peace.
If eat given food more digestible, life giving easy to metabolize.
That is why getting close to inherited ethnic food good idea for people if feeling sick.
(side note within note:
Btw would look up nonstick and switch to carbon steel pans. Nonstick pfoe washes into oceans and a long term problem since the 40s as used for military bases in firefighting foam. Causes cancer. In NC USA . . .rain falls with it in it from factory area.)
Also suggest keeping a plastic food syringe with silicone tip innovet usa and mini food processor to hand feed pet if suddenly stops eating. Use candy dropper for water pedialyte for solutes or look up recipe.
My cat lived four years doing just that plus kidney tonic for body heat. Recommend looking up rehmannia 8 for self and pet version. Webmd can help show side effects for each tinctire researching. Helps blood sugar and normalize you to loss or weather changes. Life giving.
Only caveat for people is that
made back during Medieval Asia for pediatrics
but akso when lifestyles were slow. So will not work if interact with caffeine or alcohol. Any medicinal teas also overwork bladder causing uti. . .with rehmannia 8, imo.
Even green tea -too healthy too overmix.
But post Covid works well for me, keeping kidney immune system covid rash away during energy drops from riots or wildfire disasters or weather snaps, heat waves.
Best wishes, thx for van build series, easy to follow beautiful scenery. Plan to do a 18 ft tipi and tow a self build trailer for long stays . . .saving for overseas move from SE US to beach mountain life in Abruzzo Italy, 4 yrs from now. For religious support, history and some ethnic life.
Love the layout of your van
I’m sorry for the trauma and loss you’re going through with Lee’s suicide. Please don’t search for answers to questions that you’ll never receive an answer to. Remember what happened was wrong, dark and full of confusion. You cannot find truth in confusion or right in wrong. There is no explanation for what Lee did – NONE. Accept, honor Lees passing for what it is, loss, grief, sadness. It’s okay to feel those things too. Time does heal most wounds but sometimes there is a huge scar, kind of like loosing a limb, You eventually just learn to live your life with the scars or loss but you live! I’ve found the only way to get through trauma and pain is to love harder and give more. Max once again I’m so sorry for your loss and just a rambling social worker who has experienced trauma and healed through trauma by helping others going through trauma. Peace, love and God speed. ❤️🙏🏾
Honestly, solo human and their dog looks like a dream to me. You’re a top bloke. You’re going to keep shining.
😯👍👍👍👌❤
I keep coming to his channel hoping for a new video from Max/Occy. 😔 I hope I hope this was not the final video.
