Adam truly is a pioneer

Popped up in my KZread feed. Glad I watched it. Gave me more insight into Adam’s way of thinking.

Adam is an example of success not by wishing, but from hard work, bravely done. If i could do a Back to the Future time travel, I would tell this Adam to keep the faith. That his gamble would pay off. And it would all work out like a Disney movie.

I've been watching your videos for years and now i'm 35 and in the same place you were during this video. I paid off my vehicle, i'm single, no attachments and i'm living in a camper. I only have the necessities. I'm lovin it! I'm saving to open my own barbershop

How’s the camper life? Are you still living the simple life in a camper?

Adam, since I am commenting 12 years later… I can confidently say your decision yielded benefits you couldn’t have imagined in 2010. Congratulations & I wish all the best in your creator business on KZread!

Mister B

I lived in a travel trailer for 8 years, not a van, mind you, but I lived on the road. It saved me a lot of money, and I have great stories and memories to go with that time in my life. 👍🏻

So glad that you decided to follow your dreams... You are a "Woo Tube" favorite! Safe travels, Adam. :)

I do not have what I do not need- belongings hold you down- When the things you own, own you- ahhh it feels good to be free Adam keep it up man!

I came here from your 10 year to the day anniversary video you just posted ,I found you about 3-4 years ago it's awesome you were brave enough to live you're dream of traveling ,I was able to for 2 years made it to 44 states saw some beautiful things thank you for all that you do and the places I haven't been that you have and have showed me

You have come a long way. GREAT WORK and I hope to run into you out there on the road.

I just watched the documentary that Kenny Johnson did and here I thought I couldn't love Adam any more. Can't wait to show my husband later. He and I have been following for quite some time and just dig all of what you do. Sir, you are an artist and an inspiration (and even a little insane ;) I mean that with the UPMOST respect. You are living life with intention: loud and generous, and I only hope that we can raise our kids to have the same love for life. This entire story of yours really resonated with us, as a close friend of ours sold and donated all of his possessions (and gave up his apartment) last year to leave Canada and travel the world solo at age 38. One day he just decided that there had to be "more" for him out there. He has experienced so much and even met and followed (I swear it's not as creepy as it sounds) a girl he met in South America to Germany! They are now dating and live in Russia (where she is originally from) and they continue to have adventures together. Keep up the amazing work, Adam!

My own life experience. finding out the hard way and regretting it.. Don't let anyone talk you out of anything you might want to do.

Adam is a role model. Live the life you want ,not what others want you to live. Adam has way better stories and has lived a better life than those people

hey Woo, going back, doing a Woo-a-thon if u will. I subscribed to TDW a few weeks before you left CA this time last year. then I got my brother hip to TDW and we watching every day at lunch time. wanted to tell u that your channel has brought an otherwise boring 45 min lunch, to a, 'let's Woo', as soon as I walk though the door thing. keep on trucking man, we have put a little Goodie bag for you when u come through MD again come by ,hang, w/ good eats!!! don't worry about parking. holler!!

Not sure why this came back into my feed after all this time. I almost forgot how Adam was back then. Still enjoying him today.

I hope you keep living your dream and it gives you want you want in return. Too many of us, me included, end up stuck in the rat race unhappy and lonely. You are proof that it doesn't have to be that way. We might all not be able to follow you physically but following you vicariously gives us hope and sharing your adventures helps us to 'live' too in a small way I hope you continue to live your life and remain happy Best wishes and happy travels

And NOW, for the moment youve all been waiting for... PART 2, 5 years later!!!!

I am downsizing my house stuff, so I can live simpler and live the van life. 👏👍👏

I had to live in my car it wasn't a choice. I was renting a roomI had a gym membership to take showers and went to the laundromat. The worst part was that it was so cold. It was winter when I started.

Wait how come you had to live in your car if you were renting a room ? Or did you mean you couldn't afford the room anymore so you moved into your car when you stopped renting the room ? Either way there was a period of time when I couldn't afford to pay rent any longer and I had to live in my car too and let me tell you it was the WORST !! Nothing more boring than being stuck inside your car all and night. Especially when you can't drive anywhere cause you have no gas money lol. I do not miss those days at all. ;)

@@JNC1973 They had a huge snake. They fed it mice and rats. It got lose in the house. Turns out it was in the room that I rented. It almost attacked me. And if that wasn't enough they got a Rottweiler and Pit Bull without introducing me to them. The pit was used for fighting, before taking him in. Don't get me wrong I love Rotties and Pits. But these were dangerous. And clearly were gonna attack me when I got home if it wasn't for another roommate. So I got to my room and moved out. By the way of my room window. My roommate came outside, I gave him my keys told him to give them to the couple who rented the room to me and never went back again. But yea it sucked living in my 95 haundi Excel hatchback. I'll never forget how cold it was, all I had was a handmade wool blanket my mom made. Which was made with gapping holes. It was in northern NJ in the mountains. I'm glad we are both out of that situation.

If I didn't have so much stuff for my business... I might be able to do what you are doing.. I would: 1. Rent a storage room for my stuff that I want to keep. 2. Make my van much like yours with tinted glass. 3. Get a P.O. Box for my mail. 4. Find a Walmart parking lot, Park & Ride, or a rest stop, hospital, or any other place where I can park & sleep.. and alternate from place to place. 5. I have a membership to Planet Fitness.. 20 bucks a month I can work out, and shower at any location, 24/7 6. laundry mat to wash my cloths. 7. wifi at McDonalds, or Starbucks.. 8. take out the front passenger seat and replace with a coleman stove, & a mini fridge. 9. I've already used couch cushions (3) to use as a bed on the flat board that I have in my van that I converted to a hauling truck... after I ripped out the rear seats.. I can also keep a laundry basket in the back, and put it up front and cover the stove.. 10.. chill.. :-) It's been about 5 years since you posted this video.. I'd like to know how you managed since then... I really enjoy your videos.. fun stuff to watch! Best to you!

Love going back and watching this and seeing how far you have come 🖤 your living my dream life I always said when I was a kid I want a campervan so I can just travel around with all my dogs 😂 didn't need no friends or family just my dogs and I would be happy 🤣

go man and enjoy your life. as soon as I get a kidney transplant. I. going to start living my life. life is short. go and enjoy yourself. be safe. God bless you your friend linda

id live like that too but no van....only a car & no way to stretch out to sleep! Plus I'm a bit older than Adam....I did sleep in my '54 Panel truck in 1977 & '78 but I was younger & it was freakin cold in the winter. I had a home electric heater and would pull up to an apartment bldg. and plug into a tenent's outside plug to keep the heater going. When it got too hot, my dog would tip the heater over & the safety switch would turn it off! damn dog. Good for you Adam. Keep doin what you love to do.

Adam’s video quality has improved like 2000%

Good for you Adam. I’ve been following you from Australia for a bit now. Chase your dreams brother. Life is an adventure!

Watching the elaborate builds that people are making now doesn’t compare to the simplicity of Adam’s van.

You can tell you shot this so unscripted, and all from the heart. I've shared this video many times on my Facebook page. I have your channel on my homepage as channels I love. You were so nice to my son, and I at the back to the future mall. My son has been playing baseball since he was 5, and just started his first year of high school, and made the high school baseball team. We know how much you love baseball. When my son met you he was 12, and said how nice you were to him at the meet up. Thank you Adam!!!

You've come a long way brother. God bless you and everything you do.

8 Years ago! Wow!... Your the man Adam 👍🏼

Wow! Adam I had no Idea you lived the van life. I've been watching your videos for about a year no just now saw this one. Cool bro!

Adam, I had no idea you were a true van dweller. You're a nomadic RVer as well as a film fanatic. That's cool.

Adam I came across this video while watching your other hilarious vids. All I can say is WOW!! It takes a ton of courage to do what you've done. I'm completely hooked on your videos, they give me a laugh every day :) Thanks for doing what you do.

Nice setup Adam. I like what you have done with it. Love your videos man.

All these years and no one has mentioned the title of the song by The New Threat? It's called "The Days" in case anyone was wondering...

This is the first adamthewoo video I watched and subscribed. Can't believe it's been 9 years!

Old school Adam . Love the old day videos. Wow have you come a long way my friend.

That van has noooo idea of all the adventures to be had! I accidentally found this video whilst trying to find the infamous sunglasses that you don. I admire you. You took your dream and made it real. So many of us keep saying, " someday." Your "someday" turned into reality in Dec of 2010. Much respect Adam.

Happy birthday Adam! Thanks for everything!!!

Adam, you are awesome.. I am a little late but I have been watching your videos and enjoy every one of them

wow loved ur other videos an now van dwelling cant get better ,mixing the two is great,travelling looking for places to visit and living in ur van,what a great life,being free

I have thought about doing this myself someday. Good luck and keep us posted on how things are going. Take care.

Watching this back again nearing 8 years on. Great video. How do you feel looking back on this now Adam? 👍🎬🎥❤

Love watching your old vlogs!! You really are so much better than tv!!

I don't know you, but your enthusiasm is infectious! So nice to see some one with goals. I wish you and your band much success.

Thanks for sharing the link to this older video, love to see where you came from to now.

Good luck Adam . I spent quite a few years living in a big van in the UK working for various employment agencies. I'd sleep in laybys and pull ins at night or outside the factories where I worked. I joined a gym for the showers and had a chemical toilet and a gas stove . Great life in the summer not so hot (literally) in the fall and winter.

I have a lot respect for you doing this. I'm sure it wasn't easy at first but you seem to be doing good. Great dvd selection btw.

Well done on taking the leap, and freeing yourself from all those ties. My admiration goes out to you. Great videos, keep it up.

Happy three years in the van to you!!!

Great video dude I'm doing the same thing out of my car g though and I'm loving every minute, i got lest than two years before i get my roadtrek anf live life in it . Stay strong

Love all your videos Adam! Thank you

The mosquito Coast, what a superb movie...motivating film, haven't watched in years...now I gotta go find it and watch. Just started watching your videos, found out about you while watching Nomadic Fanatic. Cheers and safe travels!

When I get older...I'm gonna be like Adam! Its amazing what he does and I idolize the guy. Most people say not to be nozy(my dad) but curiosity gets the best of me 100% of the time and thats why Ive been grounded numerous times!!! But I mean that seems like an amazing and fun thing to do so when I graduate I'm gonna hit the road

Adam the woo goes to these places and shows things he come across are something .and hes a cool guy.mg.keep the good work when you do.

surprised you don't have" into the wild". 550 plus U. is cheap. I've been living in my camper for 9 months. there's a lot of snobs you encounter doing this. for instance as I write this got a discrimination look from same guy twice who chose to park in front of me. most assume you live in a van here if you drive one no matter how wealthy you look and dress. most dislike us. it's tiring sometimes And sometimes shady strangers come around. But it's a wild experience

After seeing this I have even more respect. Your a humble guy. That's cool to see.

I loved the van years in your videos.

Love you Adam! You are an inspiration. 🤗

Great stuff!!! It's cool to see 'way back when'.

Hi Adam, Just a word of support. If this is what you want to do, and it makes you happy, then that's all that matters. Like you said, maybe one day you'll decide that you don't want to do it anymore. Or, maybe you'll continue doing it but in a different way. Until then, best wishes and safety to you on your adventures. And thanks for all the great videos!

Very smart not becoming a slave to the things you own---we downsized by buying a small foreclosed home , and sold anything we did not need, or donated it. We live simply and pay cash for everything---no morgage either--paid 28,000 for our home. Stay strong and follow what you love.....

01/18/2017................Man it's been a long time. Amazing how things have worked out my friend . Only wish I could have gotten my hands on the Woo Van when you sold it. It would look good beside the General Lee and the Bat Mobile in some roadside museum. Rock on buddy. Keep making your daddy proud.

Looking back on this 8 years later, it's especially interesting that one of his DVDs is the Truman Show. Relates to him for very different reasons now then it did then.

Thanks for this video Adam I been watching you off & on now for about a year I ran in & met you at Dodgers stadium 🏟 at the Angel's bullpen after that I have not missed a video I have now become a faithful fan. Just a few days ago I thought to myself I wonder how Adam's career started I wondered how you got to where your at and how someone can just decide to start going fulltime vlogger and not have to take care of life's challenges with bills money etc...and now I'm seeing this video. I wish I had the courage to do so but it's a scary brave thing to do....I got the passion and drive just not the balls I guess to take such a gamble. YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED MR.WOO! 🙏🏻👌👍👊

Crazy how far you have came

Watching replay. Binge watching the Woo.

W O W!!!!!!! Awesome! Today is August 17 Mr Deniros birthday 2021. You are a you tube legend! (In case we go back to the past) 👍

awesome video Adam I been following you for six months I just seen this video big inspiration I better hurry going on sixty.

By the river nice !!!!!! SOUNDS GREAT

Great walk down memory lane ...

This is a very inspirational vlog . 😊. You’ve done great my friend 😊 Taxi Driver. 👍🏻

falling down ,they live,and taxi driver 3 of my favorites

WOW totally impressed. Your band actually played House of Blues Hall, we missed a local band from home (supporting) whilst we were out there - one day hope my son's band will be playing there - who knows

I know it's a day premature but happy Birthday Adam the woo love your videos brother

I'm in high school and I'm thinking of taking this route. Except i'd like to live in something roomier and more comfortable, like an RV. It's my dream to travel the country, and the world. doing this plus starting a KZread channel (another big dream) would really make me happy in life. They say live life how you want to live it... You truly inspired me to do that. Thank You.

You are great adamthewoo!

Thanks for the videos Adam.

Thanks to your recent visit to Kennedy space center video with the TIM TRACKER and Jenn Tracker I finally subbd your amazing Channel. ADAM your videos are amazing. Hope you have a great day. :)

You can only do what is right for you! Just live your life as you see fit. Forget the adversity, which it seems you have! Bravo! Some people go to Europe and back pack for years,with only what they carry on their backs! you are doing the same thing, except here in the states! Color me Jealous! I know this was 3 years ago, how are you getting along now in 2013? is it still what you want to do? I think it is time for a Part 2! Keep doing your thing Adam, it makes a lot of people happy!

Adam the woo you have come along way since then

Congrats, and now a nice home in Celebration!!

This video delivers the most amazing life advice I have ever gotten.

"To be owned by the things you own is a very difficult thing to overcome."

A long time ago i lived on the road for a couple of years..I didnt really think so at the time but looking back,those were a couple of the best years of my life..Potty and showers are sometimes an issue but you learn to work it out..Might want to get a good CB and antenna.Sometimes you can get a trucker to let you use a fuel receipt for a free shower.

Very cool! Love it! And look how young you looked! LOL

adam you were right everyone needs to declutter and simplify our lives..

Happy Birthday Adam!

The Keys are so expensive and with perspective and preparation this can be a great spring board towards ones life goals. I did this but lost my perspective and got a bit desperate at the end of the six months that I did it. I have a full time job and a life time membership at a national gym. The heat is my only buggaboo, sleeping hot is tough, cold is OK with the right bag. I wish you had talked about staying clean, maybe I missed it or it's in another video. I really liked this one. Thank you

Hey Adam love the videos used to live in a custom van until my house I thought sold I got it back love to get back out there how do u order some of ur stuff, no how hard it can be let me know keep videos coming and stay safe out there.

AHHHH! ADAM the WOO! I remember meeting u back in the day.. u used to be in a 10 new toes right???? Thats crazy im looking into van dwelling now and here u are!

10 years later and still wooing them

what did you do about condensation?

I tip my hat to you sir! Your videos are awesome, i'm making my way though them all now.
