That’s why it’s good to have someone to travel with. Sometimes you just need a pal to help out. Glad no one was seriously injured!

As long as you are OK, Vans can be replaced but you can not.

The important thing - your friend was not injured and that he is OK. A vehicle can always be replaced. Hang in there. All the very best to you and your friend.

Do you want a boyfriend

@@robettgriffin1904 LOL I THINK he already has one - his "friend" that he keeps referring to.

This is what is all about: sticking together during difficult times, lean on each other and make it work.

So happy everyone’s okay after the accident. Possessions can be replaced but lives can’t, but I guess losing your home and transport is stressful enough. I think your friend’s lucky to have someone as kind and helpful as you on hand Ethan 🥰

Ethan is the cutest and I'm happy that his friend is okay. Im glad they can continue with traveling.

Your friend should be recognised as a great helping hand as he pulls you out of many difficult situations on your collective travels😊

@@brandonlbrigman Perhaps… However, even as a boyfriend - he too can equally be considered a good friend. I find it a breath of fresh air when viewing the travels in the camper van. The ability to be free from the regular handcuffs of daily life, have the ability to discover different parts of your country, and others too - allows you to learn, relate, discover and widen your mind from the entrapment or blinkered opinions of just those within one place only.

Glad he and his dog are OK. Take care, too, Ethan.

As some that is probably old enough to be your father or the very least a much older brother...the fact that your friend and his dog were not injured is a major plus in this scenario. The rest, let the insurance company figure out. Good thoughts to all of you (both two legged and four legged) for many exciting and safe adventures. Thanks for taking us along...

Very glad your friend is ok and honestly I’m glad you guys are travelling together. Much better than being alone, and also better adventures.

Ethan : you and your friend really deserved the movie night in the future. I can only say that for living in restricted quarters and minimal storage space you really do pack a lot of living into your homes on wheels. Ingenuity at work. I am so admiring of every way you face adversity and yet remain positive and wanting to continue the journey. You are the best traveling companions! Keep making and posting content. And you still manage to look super as well. ❤😊😅

So nice of you to help him out like this! And then helping him with his truck. I'd be really happy with someone helping out like that.

Your increasing number of followers is due your passion for your travel hobby and the fun way in which you present every destination; which gives travelers like myself, a good idea for a next place to visit. Thank you for taking the time and effort to do this. I love your posts.

Seems that your friend buys you flowers each time at the gas station. Among those are red roses. How nice is that! It says a lot, mainly that he is very caring. But I've seen chrysanthemums too. Normally they are used for funerals. But well, it's the intention which counts.

you friend has the best person to be there with him .. to help him get through all of this .. keep up the content .. thank you

Is he your boyfriend? You two communicate like there is more going on than just a friendship. 😅😅😊😊

Ethan, you are so adorable. Your friend is so lucky to have you in his life. I’m sure he is the same way. I’m so glad he is ok, and that you guys found a solution. It’s too bad your rig isn’t bigger, so you guys could just be together all the time. If I were him, that’s sure what I would love, lol. But I’m sure you have your reasons for the way things are, and that’s totally your business. I get so irritated when some people leave comments on here trying to force information out of you. It’s your life, and you share so much already. Don’t change a thing. You guys are amazing. Please stay safe, above all, and enjoy your travels.

I admire your vision to do what you enjoy and keep doing because you inspire life. You have had some tough times but it never makes you give up. Rather the opposite. Glad you have such a great friend to accompany you. Friends are precious when real ones. Take care Ethan and look forward to new videos. 😊🤗

I came over your channel by accident, but eneded up bing watching all your videos, nice to see what america really looks like, as i'm in the UK, nice to see you and the dogs are ok, plus your friend.

May the force be with you Ethan’s friend…and Ethan and the pups ✨🌈🐶🐶🌈✨very articulate and hardly ever uses the word “like” shine on. ✨✊

Wow, rough time your friend has had, I'm really happy he is well and that nothing too serious happened. He is lucky to have a friend like you to help him along. I'm also sure you're lucky to have him as a friend too. As always your videos are full of adventure. ❤

I am so greatful to God and glad you both are safe and free from injuries and fault free. It wil take a few days for the shock to work out but at least together now you can focus on truck 2 🤔and plan the next chapter. Stay safe we look forward to seeing both of you taking us with you further into the wilds of the US🚙. Love and prayers 🛐🇬🇧from here in UK.

SO SO Sad to see your mate's van crashed. Other people driving can be such idiots. Has your mate changed his oil and checked other fluids in his new rig after it has been stored for ages? Remember, oil goes 'off'/needs to be changed after like a year or so even if the miles have not been done. You rock! Always a great video! Hello from Australia! :)

Glad nobody was badly injured. It sucks, but things can be replaced. Glad your friend and his dog are okay.

Your friend is Very Blessed, we are all glad your friend was ok, the truck can be replaced, but he can't! You never mention your friend's name, so we can't easily direct the message to him, but let him know we all love both of you guys, and we are glad you travel together so you always have each other's backs.

Well what you showed of your "friend ", he looks cute. Life sucks but I look forward to you guys building out his truck.

Another great video Ethan. Very sorry to hear about your friend’s accident. Tell him to keep his head up and thank God him and his pup weren’t hurt! Vehicles and homes can be replaced, people and fur babies can’t. ❤safe travels you guys!👍🏻👍🏻

He can get his van fixed. It will be a lot to build out another vehicle. "Totaled" is strictly if the cost of the repair at a "normal" shop exceeds the "book value" of the van. If it runs well, he should keep it. He can buy it back from the insurance company very cheap, and get it fixed at a low cost shop. I've done it with two vehicles I've owned. It's worth it.

Sweetie, congraulations of the 100,000 subscribers. I hope someday your friend will be introduced to us. He's fortunate to have you as a caring companion. AND, he must be a nice guy to be your special friend. 🏳‍🌈

Have a great time both of you. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your life with us 💞🙏. Cheering for you from Michigan USA 🙂

So sorry about your friend's accident Ethan! He's lucky to have a good friend like you to be there for him.

As long as everyone is okay, equipment can be fixed or replaced. Human bodies are not so easy to repair. Stay safe Ethan, thanks for sharing

Awwwww, your little bum is SO cute in those jeans. It is nice seeing and hearing more of your friend.

In today's video, your friend made out very well. First of all he wasn't hurt in the accident and secondly he knew he could call on you to help him when he needed it. It's a great testament to not only your character but your value of friendship. While I understand that your traveling and camping together but I've known some people (but not for long) who would just say "glad you're okay, see ya when ya get back".... I truly enjoy watching your channel and have done so for many months now. You always have something interesting going on and I thank you very much for sharing with us. Safe travels Ethan and hello and best wishes to your friend!!

Sorry to hear about the van! What a huge bummer. But how nice he had the old truck! Hope y'all have a blast putting the new rig together. I'd definitely watch those videos. Nad can't wait to see your 110k subscribers plaque! You deserve it Ethan! I love the channel!

Feel bad for your friend 😮 You are a good friend Ethan, I'm glad you are not alone all the time and have friend to camp with. 😊

Get a hobby… he didn’t clickbait he just didn’t specify and it actually happened just not to him but to his boyfriend ehich if u watch u would know. Even then u enough to put “friend” meaning the travel a lot. My guess was his friend’s van. I don’t know why u care so much over a title. Even if he did lie… it ain’t that deep it just a yt vid. It didn’t affect u in any way shape or form or at least it shouldn’t have.

It is clickbait because he wasn’t even in the van. He should have said: My friend got in an accident and totaled the van.

Good to know everyone is OK. I am so envious of you. Wish I could have done this when I was your age. Alas, I am 62 now, and will retire in a few years. Perhaps I can convince my husband to travel the country when we both retire. Two men, three dogs and two cats in an RV adventure!

You’re a good guy Ethan. It’s great to be able to help someone out. You guys seem to have similar interests. Hope you guys got pizza and a show after all the hard work.

Once again another stressful situation that you felt with nd worked through, you're such a problem solver. Sorry to hear about your friend's van and glad there were no injuries to you, your travel companion or your furry babies.

I started to cry😢 when you showed Millie's pictures and said you "miss her so much"♥. I could not imagine life without my Scrappy-Doo. I cannot wait to hit the road with him...🚌

Glad everyone is okay, and Peaches is healing nicely. And I'm glad you have such a good friend (and he has you).

ofcourse you are not aweful you are awesome and i look forward to your videos. and i hope your friend get the insurance money for his van. sending you all my love and support and hope you have fun decking out his rig.

So glad your friend is okay. it just shows the need for a companion when traveling like you do. Really enjoying your videos.

Hi, just discovered your channel. I live up in flagstaff, glad to see local travels on your channel. The accident is terrible especially since your friends lives in the van.

It's great that he has a friend like you to help out in a time of need. You are really awesome!

I'm sorry about the accident, thank you for the videos, you make my days much brighter.

So happy your friend and his little dog were ok after the accident. At least from what im seeing you are handling the stress very well. I really enjoy your videos.

I’m glad you have your friend with you and that he has you to help him cope with his misfortune. I, for one, respect your friend’s preference to remain anonymous. I kinda hope he’ll feel more comfortable with your followers someday, but please don’t put any pressure on him to reveal himself.

When you have a head injury going on a hike is not a good idea. Sometimes head injuries involve small bleeds in the brain that can become large bleeds when the blood pressure increases with activity. If you have a head injury you should stay home and chill out with others around you that can identify and react to signs of a stroke or other medical events. Give your body time to know if it is really ok. Hiking away from people just increases response time for medical or makes it not even possible due to communications concerns. Hiking is not good for head injuries. Please be careful. We love watching you.

You are amazing and your friend is lucky to have you! Thank's God he is okay!! Love you guys!!

Sorry about the accident but you still entertain. I look forward to your videos. Congrats on 100,000! You are worthy you lovely guy. Glenn

So glad it wasn't worse. As comments below say, a van can be replaced. He's also lucky to have your support/help right now. So get busy. I want to see you both in Alaska! -)

Thank goodness your friend and dog weren’t injured but it’s tragic that his van/home was totaled. I hope he’s able to replace it with insurance money. It’s fortunate that you were there to pick up the pieces as he has helped you in the past. It seems that every week there seems to be some sort of complication. Thank goodness it didn’t happen to you this time. Stay well👍🙏

I always pray to God to put a hedge of protection around you, your friend, and your dogs because life happens but I love your positive attitude 100%!

Would be nice to know a little about your friend even if we never get to see him. Seems like he is an part of your truck-life.

I discovered your Chanel last week, and watched your videos, then waited for your latest. Sorry about your friends home. I hope the other guy had insurance, and your friend will receive some money to try to upgrade his truck.

Just wanted to comment in how I decided to subscribe to your channel. It was pretty much how you described it at the end of this video. I was interested in traveling, saw your video and said to myself , eh, this guy is not terrible, I’ll stick around and see what he has to offer. And that’s how I decided to click the Subscribe.

Best to your friend and so glad he wasn't hurt or anything.

That's some accident, he's gonna feel that on his neck and shoulders for the next couple of weeks. So glad its not worse though. Quick detour to change vehicles and away you go again, lucky he had a spare truck within a short distance too. Hope the next adventure isn't so dramatic, stay safe out there x

Hey Ethan! It's a bummer that the accident happened, but it's fortunate that your buddy had a "spare" vehicle that he could move into And he's doubly-fortunate to have a friend like you to help him through what must be a stressful, tough time. Best of luck to you both!

You are so encouraging. Love watching your videos as I am considering a life in a RV as a 55 year old man. You are amazing!! More power to you ! Blessed travels. Mark

Hopefully, the bad drivers have insurance, and he'll get back what he needs for a new rig. In any case, I think I'm not alone in wanting to meet him. Probably, he'll get some donations.

You are so much the person we wish we could all be. You’re a fine young man. I admire you.

Since our camper we used for 16 years is exactly like yours. Even color We are both elderly now and no longer can camp but your videos bring back great memories. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

So sorry for your friend's loss. I can't imagine the stress and heartbreak he's going through.

Ethan to the rescue! Hey friend, you got a good pal here.

So sorry about the accident, I hope there will be some insurance money coming. Alaska! That's something fun to look forward to!

Wow literally out in the middle of nowhere and someone still runs into you. Hopefully he can buy that back and have it repaired, that was a very cool van.

Goodluck to your friend Ethan!! And again safe travels to you guys, I really enjoyed watching your videos! You guys are very brave.

I'm glad everything worked out for you, your friend, and the dogs. I'm looking forward to watching your Alaskan trip this summer.

Sorry that your friend lost his truck and praying that everything turns around for him. Glad he wasn't hurt and that he has a friend like you. I think this is the most I've seen of him on here.

Sending you BOTH a massive well done. I Just sold a LWB Merc van half converted. Watching from UK

So glad things are working out for you both. Looking forward to more adventures!

Dude-so so sorry. Glad you are OK. Enjoy the hike~

Glad your friend is safe and the new setup looks good for now. Nice of you to host! Alaska sounds exciting coming up. Lots to see and experience!

Glad you are safe in the accident "Friend", that's the most important thing.

Nice to know no one seriously injured and your friend and his dog are fine. Its just a vehicle and can be replaced. Hopefully he will get a good payout from the insurance company. Keep up the great videos always find them interesting and love how you keep your audience in the loop. Hope the next while goes better you have had a lot of stress recently.

That accident was crazy! Thank goodness your friend and his dog weren't hurt. Your friend is so smart to have kept his truck. I wish I had a back-up vehicle! I feel bad that he was concerned viewers would judge a truck that's been *in storage*! But we know internet trolls can be harsh 😠 Can't wait to see how you two build it out. As you do so, I hope he feels a bit encouraged about his situation. Hoping even more so that he's well compensated by insurance. The area you camped was beautiful. I'm thrilled and anxious that you're planning on heading to Alaska! It's been on my bucket list since I started van life. But, I really think I'd need a new vehicle. I'm worried my 2010 minivan might be inadequate. I'd like to do it right and spend extended time. I'd need to take a sabbatical from work, but that's not a perk of my job. So I'm looking forward to learning from you. Things I'm thinking I'd need is a spare full-size tire, a satellite phone, maybe Starlink (?) for internet access so I can work my remote job and not take time off. I bet it's the best state in the entire country for nomad life.Hoping the Canadian border crossings aren't problematic for you like the first time you tried in the RV. I'm so excited for your summer plans!

just stumbled across your channel, Ethan, and i'm enjoying it very much! so sorry about your friend's accident. relieved no one was seriously hurt. Ethan, your take on things is very refreshing. i admire your courage to travel in the wilderness. just subscribed. happy trails and many blessings you and your friend!

Since I don’t know the name of your friend, I will just refer to him as friend! 😊. Friend! We are all very glad you were not hurt! Also it will be great to see what you and Ethan do to your truck. Good luck, and keep up the great work you two! 😊😊😊

I experienced the exhilaration and some of the trials of travel camper/vehicle/travel trailer touring as a mere child, while Mom & Dad took us almost *everywhere* in the Continental US... but from that young POV, where it was Dad and Mom who did almost all the work, to seeing you here as an adult... am I glad I live indoors... well, yes and no... so it's going down memory lane, bittersweetly and fondly, watching you and your travels. Thanks Ethan

Holly crap, so sorry. Glad no one was seriously injured. You are already power poor, does he have a battery? I am the person I am today because of the support of my friends, thank you.

Millie is a Good Girl. We all miss her!!

Good luck with everything! I was unexpectedly displaced from my home last year when pipes burst and it flooded forcing me to move into a hotel for almost 6 months. I can ONLY IMAGINE the added complications of living on the road when something like this happens!!!!!!! Best of luck, try to stay on the positive side of things!! Glad to see you guys have each other's back when some s**t like this happens!!

I am glad your friend was not injured, take care of yourselves.
