Last year when you were in the van, I was worried that you would freeze to death on your sleep. What a journey, you deserve every comfort. Have a fantastic Xmas guys. ☃️

It was definitely a challenge haha but we just about managed to keep things livable 😅

I love going back and watch some of your videos. They are so motivational and lovely. I love watching the snow and the beautiful nature around.

Ash & Marie, I have watched your journey for a couple of years, I am so so happy that you have finally found your happy place and you have made roots, I know that you will both be happy there, you can see it in your eyes and in yours faces. I wish you nothing but Joy in your new life, the barn looks awesome, from what I saw... may I wish you both the very best for Christmas and the New Year. May 2022 be kinder to us all. Thank you for sharing your journey with us... it has been a pleasure to watch

All the roads you have driven, the paths you've both crossed, the journeys taken and the adventures you've had have led you to this. Time for a completely new adventure. You've inspired a multitude of people, including us; and we're glad we met you on the road. Amazing, simply amazing.

I've not seen any of your videos in over a year, and I'm in awe of what you've created. Amazing, Ash. I'm seriously jealous.

Absolutely loved that ash me and marty was just talking about when we started off on our journey with you both sitting in the cafe with your broken laptop trying to get fixed from marie spinning on the ice to the amazing stops and stunning scenery and magical light display it was 1 heck of a few months such memories we will never forget I so admire you both ❤️ on what you have achieved OMG look how far you have come you both have made a beautiful homestead as for vanlife no longer living full time like you said its not permanent you still can travel when the times right I know 1 thing just cause you up the north Pole 🤣🤣🤣 it dosnt mean your getting rid of us two that easy 🤣🤣🤣 we most definitely will be back up to cyas 🥰🥰 thats if u will have us 😂😂😂😂😍🥰

Forgot how good your videos are 👌 Sorry can’t do patreon as I’m just following so many KZreadrs as I’m new to full time motorhome life and need to learn from everyone. You seem to have made such a great decision to take the land there. Sending you loads of best wishes; and will patiently await next non-patreon episode. Never forget that you were one of the people who made me make the leap into vanlife. Many thanks 👍💙❤️

Uv done bloody brilliantly Ash ! You and Marie look so happy with ur gorgeous home and land. Glad to see ur both well and that Bolski hasn't turned into a snowman yet. Much love Ali & Trace xx

What an amazing journey and it’s been a pleasure to watch all your videos. That drone shot where you transition to snow was incredible. The place looks beautiful and all credit to you. Best wishes for a very Happy Christmas to you both xx

Cor, fancy seeing you here. I've been watching your videos since you were van-building. I remember being excited to see how you did on your first van journey! A useful reminder (kick up the arse) in this video to get on and do something 👍

You have done an amazing job. Thank you for putting an update out for those like me who unfortunately aren't in a position to help you out. But I can send you best wishes and respect for the direction your life is going. Merry Christmas and a grand 2022. Te kaha me te hauora mo meake nei. Strength and health for the future.

Ah yes, the good old Swedish winter. You can't fight it, it WILL win. You can't ignore it, it's omnipresent. So all one really can do is to embrace it, and it will reward you for doing so...

Very inspiring! I am so happy to have found your channel and follow your journey. So true: just go after your dreams! 😊

Well done Ash and Marie I have loved watching your journey what you have done by taking the chance to change your lives for the better. Love the part of the drone when the season changed to winter. Hope you both have a great Christmas and thanks for sharing experiences.

Merry Christmas!! I love the floors and the fireplace is just gorgeous! The shot of the happy cats says it all. I love that you're in a warm space for this winter, last year was....not gonna lie....a bit scary. But I hear you on being grateful for the experience of it. I'm so excited to see how things unfold for you from here. Stay safe and warm and enjoy the holidays!!

Absolutely spot on Ash. Really happy for you guys. Nice that you're finally getting your little dream come true. Keep warm and have a brilliant Christmas 👍

The place looks fantastic, that fire as a centre piece is awesome. Loved your journey, you took a risk in 2018 and told the universe you were up for new possibilities and WOW didn't it just happen...totally amazing. Merry Christmas folks ❤️

I loved every bit of your video. I admire your peaceful mindset and being true to yourself. Keep up the good work.

Glad you’ve found the balance Ash and that you and Marie are happy in your new setup. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a big thank you for the videos and experiences you’ve shared.

Merry Christmas to you too 😊✌

You have achieved so much more than most ever will. A full on vanlife and adventures, a dream place and location to put your skills and effort into. Once you get used to being out of the van, then more enthusiasm for your home build and new way of living should come about quite soon. Fantastic video Ash and Marie. Hope you keep posting here and looking forward to many more videos of your new life. I am sure you will get the van running again someday to explore more of Sweden.

Hi Ash, I’ve been binge watching your posts from the beginning and have just caught up, so quite apt that I make my first post as you leave your van. Found your posts totally inspiring and have really enjoyed watching you and Marie’s progress. You are a talented guy and have found an amazing place there. Just signed up as a Patreon to give something back to you for your posts. All the best to you both and will look forward to watching more.

Thanks for the update, glad to see you've managed to avoid another survival point one (winter in the van) and get to survival point two, moving inside the four walls with a decent fire. Have a great christmas and here's hoping for a very happy and prosperous new year.

Glad for you both disappointed not to see all the stuff from the van in the barn. But hopefully you’ll do one

Young man even though I have seen way more than this compilation over on patreon, I looked forward to this video if only to see what comments you got. The reaction to your videos is mostly so positive it's a true credit to you!! I have followed you very nearly from the start of your adventures and I hope to continue as long as you make videos and I draw breath. I have not commented on patreon for a bit ( no doubt a bit of a relief to you as I can dribble on a bit )🤣Been a bit wrapped in my head but still watching every day. You both are a breath of fresh air and long may that be so!!!!

Another wonderful video, you are part of the reason we sold our house and now live full time in our campervan, we are driving round the coast of the UK and enjoying it greatly. Keep the videos coming.

Best content on KZread

Fantastic to see how far you have come and now enjoying a warmer better life there. Really enjoyed your journey so far.

Love your videos! Courage is a muscle that needs to be exercised every once in a while. Good luck this winter.

I love being one of your patrions Ash, It's such a community feeling and a much more inclusive way to chat, keep up the good work X X X

Been watching every day as ya know Ash. This video still blew me away. Absolutely fantastic works peeps. Bet it was great watching it all back while ya edited? Anyone not on Ash's patreon, cannot recommend enough. Shed loads of hours of footage. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Love your videos there’s something special in the way you edit them so professional. Happy Christmas to you both

Wow!! I for one, will sleep better knowing you and Marie are inside , warmed by that amazing stove, in your toasty barn!!! You are amazing people! Love all your videos! More van adventures to come for sure!! A very Merry Christmas 🙌🏼😍

Well can i say i followed you in that van last year in the severe cold temps,ye did it,ye survived, what a achievement. Well done you two on your new home, it will also have its challenges, but ye shall overcome those too. One day again,van life adventures in milder weather, one never knows.

What a transformation from last year. Awesome how much you have all accomplished.

Wooooo! Well done you. Great to see the progress you've made on your more permanent structure over in Sweden.

"Different" is greatly underrated, so keep on doing it. "Normal" is a path that is too crowded, so celebrate ploughing your own furrow (with a 70 year old tractor). Keep on allowing the rest of us to dream. Happy New Year.

Always good to see your experiences and endeavours. Inspiring. Thank you.

Who else looked out for their name at the end, typical that mind would be right near the end! Ash, I discovered you a couple of years ago and instantly found your adventures, your spirit, your outlook on life very addictive, so much so I bought my van. Thanks for the inspiration, keep up the good work, and I looking forward to seeing what the next chapter in your life brings us 🙂

Goes to show what you can achieve. All the blood sweat and tears. You pair are absolutely amazing. One hell of a journey and an inspiration to us all. Nothing impossible. All the very best to you both and all the pets. Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best in the New Year.

i needed this video after the day ive had, thank you... we've moved our plans forward from August to January 2022 now to try and buy our own place in Sweden, not pissing around anymore, just gonna buy anything that i can and deal with it lol thanks again for the content.

ash found in europe now. Im just strarting my van life thanks to you. Happy you have put roots down, ive took all your advice and watched every video. thanks for all the advice it is well appreciated

Aww bitter sweet! It's been amazing and, without your videos, I would of never taken my own leap way back then! Have yourselves a wonderful toasty winter by the fire!

Not just an average guy from Leicester. Amazing journey Ash …. Loved it !

Thank you for the update for us non-patreons. It's very much appreciated. You've done amazingly there ♥😁 xx

Well done Ash and Marie, magical as always. Wishing you all a good Christmas and New Year 2022

What a journey. Honestly I have loved watching your travels and has really made me think about options and what is possible. Myself and my partner are having serious conversations now about moving away, having land and just both loving the outdoors more. Have a great christmas and new chapters in yours and Marie's life

Good luck for the future Marie and Ash you've done an absolutely amazing job there in a short space of time. The log burner looks great my oldest Spaniel would've zoning out in front of that. I like the Skidoo's will Marie be using one for going to work on? The deck terrace is a bloody great addition to the build be great to sit out there with a nice Islay whisky or thre. Save the Laphroaig for me. Thanks for sharing and keep em coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Absolutely fantastic progress ...I've been following ye since Scotland...I'm so happy for both of you..What an experience to have allowed us to share..That STOVE is King ...Beautiful..Peace and Happiness and a merry Christmas to you both..

You are so right about realising your dreams too, I realised a dream of my own 2 weeks ago, I passed my class 2 hgv test, now to get a job in the new year and start making other dreams come true, have a great Christmas both of you and a great New Year

Your Patreon output has been great value for £1.20 (inc VAT) a month, especially as I appreciate just how much time and effort it takes to churn out videos. "god Jul och Gott Nytt År"

20:02 beautiful shot!! Absolutely gorgeous!

Great to see your all and smiling you don well keep on and keep smiling.

One of the few channels I'm glad to Patreon, always quality content

I’ve watched all your Patreon videos but I still got emotional watching this, especially the music at the end with the shot of your van 😭

I missed you guys so much!!!! Just a little more now and we'll all be Home. Oh, you will be SO happy meeting the 'odd' One. ☺️ Your Father. Stay safe. 🤍💕🖐🏻

Bless the Beast, your vision and that piece of metal made it happen. I can understand an emotional connection to it. It looks like you've found a piece of heaven. All the best to you and Marie. Take care.

Looks like you’re living your best life, you’ve had a great adventure in the van and it’s just resting whilst you start your next adventure. Looks fantastic. Good luck.

I’ve not watch yet but felt just from the title I had to comment first as like I’m sure others will have said “ I’ve been waiting to see this” I’m so very happy for you both , you certainly have seemed very content even during the worrying times . The very best to you both 🤗

You are not an “everyday guy”. You have a God given talent that can not be learned in school. Some people just have the mechanical gift to fix and build things and you have that
