Patreon Ramble #13 - I got my van!!!

Let me know if you make it to PA Philadelphia

Too Busy Sleeping

Yo Joel I'm totes down to let you crash at my place for a day or two, so yeah you should find a way to plot out where your fans are. I live in a very pretty town in Appalachia you could totes make cool videos in.

Yooooo that's amazing!

CharpDaParp

Really glad to hear you're doing well. Keep making great stuff!

Shifter

Yesss!

It'll probably be a while before you hit up Norway huh...

That's a sweet looking van, plus with the solar panels and such, really nice. Shame it didn't come with a propeller and inflatable floatation devices to take you over the Atlantic though, would've loved to buy you a coffee or something. :p I'm really glad my younger brother introduced you and your channel to me back when he visited for Christmas. You're such a genuine and wholesome person and I gotta thank you for making me smile and laugh with each video you put out. Keep on truckin' and best of luck on your travels once you set out on your vanscapades. :)

That’s a cool idea to have your viewers participate in some videos while you’re traveling around! Too bad I’m Boston-based myself and you’re immediately leaving my area haha

Those aren't vans, those are new balance.

What a van! Come to Missoula. It's chill.

What happened after the 3 years, I’m interested in this tale. Or you mean you are still doing it, cruising in your transit. Great links btw, solid resources.

Congrats man

Joel, if you come through Michigan, feel free to stop by Detroit! My sister knows some good spots for urbexing if you'd like to get a sense of the blight, which can be as fascinating as it is sobering.

I’m so happy for you, Joel!!! Wishing you the absolute best in this next chapter of van life 🙌

Jennifer B

That's great you got the van. I'm glad I helped support your dreams, however tiny my contribution. Makes me even happier that you're going to use it to make videos with friends around the country. Looking forward to seeing the Joeler Roller coming to a city near you! (I know its bad, but the van needs a name!)

goat on a stick

We love to see it!! Have fun! :)

Elly

I'm just so happy for you! I wish you memorable adventures with the van and it's great that you are in such a good place right now. Have fun!! :)

leisloth

Hell yeah! I can't wait for your touring adventures! Are you going to bring any of your friends also? P.S. I motion we can your van The Rambler.😙

Dude hell yes!!! I traveled around the west coast and Arizona for the past 3 years in a Transit 150. Let me know if you need any recommendations! https://nomadlist.com/chat or r/vandwellers are good resources. There are also plenty of slack and discord channels if you're looking for people to travel with

Come to Atlanta!

Billy

Always wanted a van just like that like legit lol

I just realized that one definition of ramble is “to travel for pleasure with no specific route.” This means that with the van, these Patreon Rambles are even more accurately named. 🤯

Come to San Francisco :)

Hey Joel, love the videos and thanks for doing what you do! Just wanted to make you aware of something if you aren't already, SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet is getting closer to being ready for the 'RV' crowd which may be a good option for you as you get out to mountain and plains states with really spotty cellular reception: https://camperreport.com/starlink-internet/ The Linux Tech Tips Youtube channel has gotten their hands on a unit and did bandwidth testing and some gaming on it and came away pretty impressed with what it can do. It's leaps and bounds better than existing satellite internet options and competitive with 5G cellular.

Woohooo!! Exciting! And please come to Athens, Ga- it’s an awesomely weird place. And an especially great place to make stuff! We’ll feed you the best food, too. :)

Rebecca Sunshine

Don't catch your fingers in that door.

dude. the van looks beautiful. what a vessel. I can't wait to meet you. I can't wait to see the movie magic that comes out of the unexplored millennial wilderness. Wishing you a boon of intellect, and a spirit of the wild. "For Frodo..." -from Williamson, West Virginia.

If you ever stop on the western side of South Dakota... theres a fellow new englander that will let you use his driveway and spare room

Yesss! Great to see a dude just doing his thing and making us all laugh along the way!

Ben Cotton

Your room in Atlanta awaits

Big ups on the anti-oscar fan-feature film and Havervan! I'm in somerville, MA.

Alex Ezorsky

+1 for road living! Can you move your pins around as you move locations?

Austin Milt

Sounds cool! If you find yourself in Delaware County (DELCO), PA, I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for “The Haverghini.”

Should you ever find yourself in the Salt Lake City area I'd love to shake hands with a legend, you're an inspiration man.

If ur ever in Atlanta, I'd totally be down for some goofy improv!

Congrats on the van man! It’s super nice.

Tom Buck

I have armor and swords and we could do some really fun filming with that. Come visit Bellingham, WA!

Come to San Diego, friend

Mattytime

If you need a place to crash in Central California, The family and I would be honored to have you.

Michael Gee

My driveway has a spot with your name on it

Eric J Bernhagen

First off, CONGRATULATIONS on getting a van! She’s beautiful. I’m really, really proud to be able to support this kind of content. The website mapcustomizer (https://www.mapcustomizer.com/) should let you create a shareable map where people can drop pins, but I don’t know how you would filter to patreon supporters only. If you do this idea, I gotta say I would love the opportunity to make a film with you; I’m going to be living on the road too! Granted, I’ll be in a car and not a van, but the lifestyle is all the same! Again, super happy for you and to be able to support the channel. Keep making sweet stuff!

Hey Joel. Thanks for what you do, happy to have found you. :)

Eugene Pakhomov

Love ya too Joel. That livestream was lots of fun and I thought it turned out pretty good. This thing with the van is a literal dream of mine and you’re doing it! I know it’s gonna be awesome traveling around and creating. If you’re ever in Texas, I would do my best tell y’all howdy pardner. Thanks for inspiring and creating!!♥️

RyAn McCullar

Costa mesa, california

So happy for you! Can’t wait to see you in Texas one day!

Oh, loving the new van! Looking forward to seeing your creative outputs as you travel across the country!

Haha now you can come visit Pensacola!

Joel Sexson

The film was super funny! You're all creative. Thank youu
