Beeing here and always will be.

hi ben! longtime watcher. you may be doing this, but i would suggest reaching out to van conversion companies in Europe and letting them know your renewed focus of restarting the daily vlogs, getting back to travelling, and potentially featuring one of their vans as the literal vehicles for your dreams. With the recent surge of interest/views in seeing "the old Ben Brown" back - NOT minimizing or invalidating the work you have done in recent chapters of your life or the upgraded version of you in any way - I feel as though at least one company would be willing to partner with you in exchange for a hefty dose of promotion. you are a huge influence and inspiration to many. best of luck!

Great ideas bro! Thank you, for sure I'm going to get in touch with some companies to support this project :) I appreciate you! x

Love the “boring” stuff. It’s real life. It’s you. Travel is just a bonus.

It's so nice to have someone that checks in with not only themselves and understand their own transformation of self, but it also helps us go through our own journey but on also on a creative note theres always that day one where its boring and you only have dribs & drabs and don't really know where its going and how your gunna get there but it leaves room for the work and graft and then you have something beautiful...here for whatever you put out man because in itself this is already half of it lets put a lens on this chapter!!!!!

I love how raw and honest these are. Can't wait to keep watching and see some more of your journey!

Very much resonate with the process of letting go of the life I had imagined. Deep in grief at the moment, and trying to deal with the realities of what I do and don't have. So I appreciate you keeping it real and letting me (and others know) that we're not alone in not having everything figured out. As to your dream for van life, it sounds perfect and I wish it for you asap.

Love a new video from you. Been watching for 8 years, from the daily vlogs, and you inspiring me and my hometown bro to get into photography at the end of high school, to lonely late nights at university binging your travel series’ and Arctic expedition videos. Hope you know you will always have a lot of people out here rooting for you!

Thanks Ross, feels good to know my videos have been there for you and you’ve received the main intention of creative inspiration :)

Since 2014, I’ve enjoyed following your journey and soaking up the vibes in your videos. Whatever you film, I’ll be there to watch it! 😎👍

Shit happens. We keep moving forward. #AlwaysForward

I just love hearing about whatever you’re going through and watching whatever you want to put out there ❤️

Stoked for this journey Ben and bring on the merch!

We're here for it all, Ben. Every transition. I've been loving watching you navigate this crazy world. Sending you big love from Lahaina, Maui. We are starting all over again too.🌺

I learn editing from your video 7 years ago. thank you so much ben!

So excited for merch 😊 and love seeing where you journey has gone and goes

Ben - As someone who is going through quite a transformational period himself right now, I can't articulate just how helpful and inspiring these vlogs have been for me... particularly the ones in which you are so vulnerable and open. It truly is emboldening to hear that someone else (particularly someone I look up to) is going through a similar situation, and while your optimism is certainly appreciated, I think you expressing your struggles helps a great deal more than you know. Your faith in yourself despite your current circumstances is helping others like us navigate our own and I just want you to know that.

I'm so grateful for this comment dude, you're reminding me to keep on sharing the more vulnerable stuff too, that actually the most spiritual thing we could possibly do it BE HUMAN! With all the perfect imperfections, the mess, the chaos and confusion, but to keep going and bring as much of us into this present moment as possible. I've been through these kind of changes before, and I've punished myself and sat in my own self pity enough to know that the only thing that brings me 'back' is me, my choice to keep going and smile and cry and laugh and say 'well, fuck! I guess we keep going!' life like this is a game of trusting myself and The Universe (aka God) more and more as I go. Fear is the illusion, let's alchemise the anxiety into excitement! Much love! x

This is my favorite Ben. Thanks for always sharing and being as raw as you can. Your always an inspiration! We are all on a journey! 😊

Peace Brother! I love the journey and I'm here for it 🙏🏾 Keep swimming 🏊🏾‍♂

Here for all the vlogs, simple is better than none. done is better than perfect. For the merch go the POD route so there's fewer upfront costs, no stock risk, and no time shipping to get the ball rolling

Been here since 2013 with Louis and Steve! OG, love your daily life and the adventures! #happyyouarevloggingagain.

Ben, it’s always nice watching your vlogs. Onward to van life!!

Never think the inner work is boring mate, that transparency and honesty is what can be most powerful

Visual Vibes is what made me fall in love with KZread.

Keep it up mate, so glad you’re back on YT. Watched you religiously in the glory days.

As a Pisces rising I definitely feel you on the whole 6 year cycle of a way your life used to be! Or, a way of thinking you should live your life ending. Wishing you the best with everything :)

I'm here for it. I love this transition time. There is such richness and depth in the interstitial spaces of life.

Here for whatever feels right for you. It's a joy to see you making films in whatever form they take 🙏

Let’s goooo! Here for the process brother. Be easy with yourself. ❤️👌🏻

The love, excitement and passion you have is contagious. Keep working at it Ben! We are here for you.

It seems like a lot of us are going thru a transitional period! I am... I was incredibly stressed out about it at the begining 6wks ago, but now I am super excited that the universe is giving me a fresh start at a new happier time of my life. I think it's how you look at the problem, there are 2 roads 1 negative and 1 positive it's our mindset that chooses the outcome.

Your drone shots are fire 🔥

Man that outro brought back so many memories!! ❤ Glad to see you back man. You inspired me so much back in the day can’t wait to see your next chapter

hello Ben! Long time viewer here and I just want to say how great it is to watch the vlogs again. You were present in such a pivotal time in my life and to see you start again is such a blessing. Looking forward to what your future holds and here to support you!

Long time follower , it’s nice seeing how your journey on this crazy planet has evolved over these years. Follow your path and stay true to the person looking back at you in the mirror

Good luck:) Best wishes for the future!

Really am just here for whatever you upload bro! Been here since day one and am here to stay 🙏

Keep on going Ben. Looking forward to more vlogs.

Cinematic vlogs? Storytelling? Lets go! Keep up the good vibes Ben :)

IM HERE for all the uploads big small, whatever kind of video!!!! yes i wanna see travel videos but any kind of video is awesome from you.

We love simplicity, vulnerability, and genuine honesty! Low key vlogs are better than nothing but honestly we’re just happy to see you. We believe in you, we are excited for you, and we are here for the ENTIRE journey. 🩷

Sending you positive vibes u will get where u want to be xx

Thanks for putting me in the vlog yesterday, it was so special to see myself in your video. I had a strong feeling that you'll gonna put me in because I was trying to ask something outside the box. I'm so happy you are consistent and make it happen no matter the life challenges. Embrace them. Everythings happens for a reason.Maybe that is a good reason to record the sound on a diferrent device. Yeah I know it really sucks. It does happen to bigger houses. Btw I miss swallow t-shirt design, I think that was sooo unique and cool. I missed the dogs, the walking in nature and obviously your character that made this channel so special.

Here since the Rickshaw Run days! Keep pushing Ben you’ve been a great influencer to many

Hey Ben another long my time subscriber to your channel just dropping in to give some encouragement. I am the same as many others that enjoy your old school just hanging out videos just as much as the travel vlogs. 👍 cheers from Sydney Australia

Been here since 2014! 🤙🏻 and even began vlogging myself lately. You’ve inspired me a lot in the past so chin up and keep creating Ben! It’s a talent you have and we love it!

God bless him making it to 95! And happy to see this energy back. Binge watching all the new vlogs now, i remember randomly coming across your channel back in 2016. stay true to you man

Lets go Ben! You got this and you know you. Keep it up, and I'm totally down for the merch too lol

Dude, been here since way before Pennyboarding in that parking lot at night. You got me hooked on Odesza back then. Your travel vlogs always filled a void and showed me places I couldn't go myself.

You've got this, Ben! I'll watch whatever you put out for us :)

Btw, what can be better than a comeback story?

welcome back ben. can not wait. Thank you.

You may not be on wheels 🚍 but Bro Ben you are already on the journey ❤ sharing the transition is knoble 🌞

Yes! You definitely don’t need to do daily, Ben! Just let it happen…

We’re here for it all. Always have been mate

Here for u

HBD grandad brown.

I’ll be happy to watch your fun travel videos. But I’m happy to hear your thoughts on whatever. You’re like a cousin I wish I had. I’m sending so much love from Pennsylvania. Well done on not losing your shit over the audio crashing. No stress Ben. 😎

I’ve watched your journey bro for what feels like a lifetime but must be nearly 10years. Although I’ve gone through waves of your content in more recent years. And to be honest it’s not been just life but sometime content doesn’t resonate, which is okay, can’t like everything and win every time. But what I do love is watching excited, inspired and creative people putting out good energy to create a better life for themselves, and those around them(even if it’s through a screen) And a moment that I’ll always remember - after randomly bumping into you at a pub outside Westminster during protest. You happily chatted to me and my mate just about the boring stuff. That day stuck, I’m now 33! And still talked about how excited I was And I don’t even think that’s sad 😂 even if the gf thinks so. Keep doing you dude, release the pressure and enjoy life. ✌🏼

Thank you for being here, and for your open mindedness! Reading your comment I do feel like a big part of my work is to share this excitement for the unknown, alchemise the anxiety into excitement and get curious about what kind of life and work we can create. Much love, thank you Ash x

Love you ❤ Been watching since the Rickshaw run, and I’m so happy to be part of this new journey!

I'm just here for whatever you upload Bro . . it's all good 💙

have to say yes to the adventure!

Yes Ben! More than 10 years and counting... Here for the long run...

You got my support Ben!

Im just here for whatever you upload bro❤️

No pressure dude, take your time. The fact that you know what you want is the most important, it can take a year it can take 5, it is all good. Also you are not alone in real life, I live in Bournemouth, in the Dorset area you have good people which will give you a hand with your van project and help you hands on. You will get there if you keep on moving, no matter the speed your moving with. Take it easy !

Love you Ben

Can we get a bookshelf / Room tour? :) Loving the updates Ben keep uploading and I will keep watching

Good luck, Ben!

hello ben, what a hell of a journey, im 24 now and ive been aroud since you were still competing, cant wait to see what future holds for you, greetings from spain, keep up the good vibes, the curiosity and the excitement, much love! btw for the last few years ive missed your outro so much, and it makes me so excited to hear it once again on a vlog basis

love you ben

I have been watching Dr Scott Eihlers on KZread today. Great life skills content. I send you all my ❤

Love the boring stuff Ben! If you were just vlogging shopping at ASDA I'd still watch. ❤

Ben, I am totally down for a shirt. I am looking forward to the travel vlogs but I also love the adventure to get there! Also, do you plan on making any more visual vibes?

You got this

I was all in when you got sharky with the surfing Ben. Thanks for being a non-toxic male. It's refreshing for us women. Keep creating.

here for whatever the ride is, trying not to get lost or killed since 2014 :)

If you still want to post the videos where the audio failed, have you tried Adobe podcast enhance on your in-camera mic? It isn’t perfect but it might help!

Day trips or weekend vlogs 👍🏻

The van will be getting an awful lot of screen time in the future. Maybe reach out to some van conversion companies and propose a cut price deal and in return they can brand the van? One of your visual vibes would be an incredible advert for them, that in itself is worth some serious money. Happy to draft an email to be sent onwards.

-- You can do it, Ben! We all believe in you. 😊❤️

Gee, thanks Mercury, was looking forward to the idea of those videos. Glad you're not letting it get you down (sure the laptop is pleased too). Looking forward to what the future brings.

Fun for luis days. I’m day 1!!!

Hey Ben, so glad to have you back. I've noticed that all of your current vlogs so far are from within your home. I am wondering if that is an intentional choice? It is obviously a very different style to your old vlogs where you would be out and about.

Hey :) Thanks for watching! Yes, I've just got back from Cape Town, resting and integrating at my parents house after some pretty abrupt changes in my life plan! I've also not got any money right now, so I'm saving for a van, with a plan to travel around Europe in it, creating more travel content again!

Hey man, just an idea. Try and reach out to camera gear companies to review their equipment or use it for creative projects. Advertising equipment may give you the ability to snag some stuff you need for free or allow you to make things you want to create at a high level. Love you mate.

Been here since the early penny board days. I'd love to see you travel in a van. But i'd also love to see you buy a cheap van and do it all up to what you have invisioned as opposed to buying new,. Get a van a do it up, more conent.. win win.

Day one to present day...let's go!

I know van life is definitely in your near future

Hey Ben, it most certainly is okay for you to upload "only" a few times a week or less. I trust you not to burn yourself out and/or subconsciously create a character for the audience like you did back before. I'll be here for the ride supporting you.

Love you bro ❤

Hey Ben, I hope you doing well. It would be a pleasure to see your lifestyle vlogs again. Ben on tour will be awesome to watch, but you just doing your thing was always gorgeous enough. Take care Thomas

Hey is Leoni still going to make an appearance?

Day 1! Also, I've been here since the beginning. Never left. And I'm fucking excited to see what's coming.

It's sad that the UK is not apart of the EU anymore because I believe there is a program where by you can get a vehicle with a blown engine for cheap, take it to these chaps in France who will convert it to Electric and with the tax write offs the EU grants you, it is really cheap for an electric vehicle that's a bit retro. Does Lou bags have a cast off vehicle you can buy? LOL What you will put together will be awesome. Since your in Surrey...can you take us to G!RO? it would be awesome to see that familiar backdrop. (just a suggestion)
