I wanted to wait to make a video about this till it was actually happening and here we are! I’m traveling the country and I can’t wait to see what comes of it. Thanks for watching and being a big part of making this possible in full form. Love you guys❤️

I don't know why, but "I can poop in the woods. I've done it before and I'll do it again." sounds like a threat

*Typical UKpostsr:* Gets famous, gets big house and fancy car *Joel Haver:* Gets famous, becomes man in a van

What an absolute gem of UKposts. This man came up to the internet like: “here’s my heart.” That’s rare

"For every ounce of confidence I operate with, I'd say there's like 10 ounces of 'I don't know what the hell I'm doing'. I think that's a good ratio to maintain, because, If you're not surprising yourself, what are you doing?" -- Joel Haver 2021

"For every shot I operate with, there's 10 shots where I'm trespassing on private property" -Joel Haver

Plot twist: this is a prequel to the video "Your friend from high school who's doing "pretty good""

3 unsolicted tips from someone who's done some living out of a vehicle as a choice (rather than a necessity): 1) keep busy - it's easy to get bored out there which is a huge mood killer and can make you depressed, lonely and frustrated that you're wasting your time that's supposed to be this big fulfilling experience. It's useful to make sure you have a full and planned day every day. 2) socialise at every opportunity - it's also easy to get lonely out there. I'm pretty happy with my own company but even then I got lonely a lot. Take any opportunity to socialise, even if you're not feeling it at the time, and savour any small interactions you have with strangers. 3) having something to do once it gets dark is vital. Everything becomes more overwhelming at night because you're tired and the dark makes you feel more isolated. Having plenty of entertainment is great for keeping your nights and evenings cosy. It also prevents you from dreading the night which can hang over you all day. I hope you have a great time zooming around in your van dude, you have a sweet setup! Looking forward to your future projects :)

i feel like i just watched one of the most poignant coming-of-age films ever.

just saying, very debatable whether or not you could poop in that van. I believe I could.

Who else cried when you realized saying goodbye to Trent wasn't a skit?

If Joel ever needs an easy video for a week, I hope he just points the camera towards the road and let's us sit in the passenger seat for a little while while he just talks about what's on his mind. I would 100% watch that.

Oh my... No generic vlog music, no over-the-top dynamic shots, no drones, no clickbaity thumbnail and it's one of the best vanlife videos I've seen. Thank You for being so sincere, Joel! You're a true inspiration.

"Regrets start fading away the second you start pursuing something" The entire video is worth it for this one line.

gotta love those first few seconds of trying to discern whether the video is a skit or an actual vlog

I think the best part about Joel and Trent's friendship is that their relationship looks so comfortable and genuine. Y'all make me hopeful that there's real, genuine friendship out there.

This guy is one of those lucky few who everyone just likes no matter what.

I love how Joel and Trent's normal conversations sound just like the skits

"Regrets fade away as soon as you start pursuing something" Dude. That hit me like a truck. Thank you.

10:17 "Regrets fade away the second you start pursuing something." Don't know why but that stuck with me. Thanks for the videos Joel, they never fail to brighten my day!

“If you’re not surprising yourself, what are you doing?” Fuck. Yes. Words to live by.

I got a mate like Trent. The kind of friend you can start a joke with that's going to take a couple minutes of explaining to get there, but he's not going anywhere because he knows it's going to be worth it, maybe. Those of you who got a mate like Trent, never lose them.

I'm excited for the inevitable man-in-a-van series that's coming, replete with bird sightings and forest pooping

Okay, that goodbye between you and Trent actually made me cry a little.

4:16 That mosquito knew you were coming. Even tried to ruin your shot. Little did it know, the shot got better.

I'm really gonna miss Trent in these videos, he really felt like this channel's other half.

He tricked me into feeling emotions. I thought this was just a van showcase.

No joke. This video is therapeutic. It's so calming, with some nice nostalgia feels sprinkled in. Also some wise words and lots of love. And at the same time a feeling of adventure that awaits. I have watched it like 5 times this past 2 weeks while being sick. It reminds me that my sickness is not the end just a rough patch.

...So this is that Nomadland movie everyone has been talking about.

I think we're all glad that your relationship with Trent has strengthened.

30 year old man rolls up in unmarked van, throws open door *so this is my highschool*

“I guess not that ballsy” That tree was getting ballsy

"I'm a van man now, goodbye earthlings" Seriously though, the editing style, the deadpan comedy and the perfect documentary-style cuts are just pure gold. I can't wait to see the next video and look forward to the explosion of popularity this channel is going to inevitably get.

The best part of Joel Haver is that his videos feel like a cross between your inner monologue and a conversation with a childhood friend.

I love how this man is just genuine and talks about whatever is on his mind. He is using UKposts as it was intended at the start.

"Ooo! A Bird!" "I'm just scooting now..." Me ALWAYS, just about anywhere XD

"If you are not surprising yourself, then what are you doing?" Really hit me deep

“I can poop in the woods. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again.” - Joel Haver 2021

It honestly took me a while to figure out this wasn't a sketch.

Oh Joel, hug your Mom as much as she wants. She seems amazing.

Really happy that a genuine kind hearted man like Joel found success

Joel: "I can poop in the woods. I've done it before and I'll do it again." Me: "😭I'm so happy for him"

"Adventure awaits!! Huzzah!!" But for real this time.

Joel, holy shit. You're the man. This is so honest, and truthful. Never stop doing what you're doing.

I just love how your movies are drenched in this still, inexplicable sadness. Thank you for making such exceptional work and sharing your talent with us. You're our hero, really.

“Public school is a nightmare i’d wish upon everyone” - Joel haver is going to be my high school graduation quote

and just like RPG guy always says: “adventure awaits! huzzah!!”

If you get a gym membership at a pretty large chain you can shower when you need to at them for about $15-20 a month

Seeing two people share a raw, awkward emotional goodbye hit me incredibly hard. Good luck, Joel. Stay in touch with Trent, mans a treasure.

The "one more hug" got me. No matter how many you do, you still feel like you need just one more.

This was by far the most intimate UKposts experience I've ever had.

Wow this whole piece is stunning. At first I was like “I dunno if I can do 14 minutes of this” but then it was funny and gorgeous and touching and the Joel goodbye with the piano was so sad and the cats are so cute!! And I wished there was more at the end

Joel: “If it makes you feel good the first time, and it makes you feel good the second time, why not do it again?” Meth:

Gonna miss Trent’s deadpan voice in contrast to Joel’s chaotic ramblings :-) ❤️

“I think regrets fade away the second you start pursuing something.” -Joel Haver, a very smart dude

"I'll poop in the woods" Stay outta my town, lmfao.

Don't sleepy drive. If you crash, your house is gone.

The awkward goodbye with Trent made me laugh and cry at the same time.

Holy cow man. The whole thing was great, but the bit with Trent made me cry. Friendship like that is so damn special! You're both so great, and we can't wait to see more of you together again someday!!

I loved seeing your mom light up when you leaned out of the van window to give her a hug. So genuine and touching.

I love Joel's "I'm a dad but I don't have kids" energy lmao

Wait, take Trent with you!!! You have to walk on the ice together!

people claim that living in the city is a dream. but they don't tell you that nightmares are also dreams.

Joel Haver is in many ways the real life example of who I wanna be one day. Thanks Joel

When Trent and Joel say goodbye: I’m not crying you’re crying!

While I'm excited for Joel, I'm gonna miss having trent in the videos.

I’ve been battling myself since I graduated HS 7 years ago, over doing what I want (creating videos and things for one!) vs. what people tell me I should do (go to collage… now I’ve got massive debt. Get any job I can… now I’m disillusioned & no longer sure of my dreams. Find a girl and give her the world… now my hearts hardened and what confidence I had is shattered). But this video, what ur doing, it’s something truly important for people to see. It’s stirring the embers again. So thank you Joel, for being strong enough to be honest. Both to urself, and to the world. For those of us who are still working on it.

Your mother seems like just a light in the darkness kind of person. What an amazing family. And I'm subbed to Trent now because his deadpan voice is now one I use inside my own head when I need an underwhelming sort of vibe. Bless him.

"If you're not surprising yourself, what are you doing?" I did the van thing for about a year. It's incredibly stupid and I respect you for doing it.

Feels like I watched a 2 hour emotional film instead of 14 minutes.

Thing I love about Joel is that his update/tutorial videos are just as entertaining as the rest of his content. Id like to give this man a fresh bagel.

I literally started crying when you took away his mic. Like that hit in a way I can't ever really explain

I love how often Joel tells the people in his life he loves them

"I've pooped in the wood and I'll do it again..." smooth criminal.

I've never wanted someone else I barely even know to succeed so much

how tf did the most awkward goodbye created as a comedy routine make me fuckin cry.

"Sometimes i get down on myself for not having a very adventurous adolescence" that's when my tears started. Fuck.

"If you're not surprising yourself.... What are you even doing? " holy shit thanks for that

"I think regrets fade away once you start pursuing something." I love that so much

Joel and Trent’s friendship is the kind of friendship everyone deserves. You guys are beautiful

You can recognize a true cat person when they slap and pat a cat's butt like that.

Watching you and Trent say goodbye brought me back to senior year of hs and watching Superbad with my buddies. There's such a melancholic feeling of looking forward to what both of you will do on your own and knowing that you will be working together in the future, but at the same time not being able to kick this sense of a good time coming to an end. That being said I'm looking forward to following you along with your adventures and I'm so glad UKposts recommended me your channel when it did. Very much here to stay

Come on, man. You can't make me wanna cry at the end of the video...that's insaneo style...

Other UKpostsrs: "Check out my million dollar home!" Joel: "I can poop in the woods"

The fact that Joel and Trent having what seems to be a real conversation feels like one of their skits is amazing

That eerie feeling when you’re not sure if this is a skit.

This video is pure. Just pure. Pure pure.

The little voicecracks while saying bye to Trent combined with the music was so touching

This video makes me feel you're starting an epic journey, not unlike the character Thor in the movie Thor: The Dark World

That goodbye just killed me 😭

This guy is honestly a camera savant. Gorgeous camera work, and inspiring to us amateurs!

"If you're not surprising yourself, what are you doing?" - Joel This quote hit me deep.

*Contemplatively looks out into beautiful lake and scenery* Joel: "I got a wet foot trynna get this shot"

You're my favourite person on UKposts now, Joel. Will never take you for granted

I love how you edit around your natural personality, it comes across as genuine, and really hilarious. I love your channel

It took me like 2 minutes to realize this wasn't a skit lol.

The “pooping in the woods” thing sounded more like threat than anything else…

This is the same man who just killed Sven Johnson. Watching this I never would have guessed he would do something like that.

"Regrets fade away when you start to pursue something" Loved this saying very much, holds a lot of truth in it

"Public School is a nightmare I would wish upon everyone" I feel that
