Quotes from the episode

“Life has its ups and downs and you can’t anchor all of your emotions to the summit of something.” - Kyle Thacker

 

“I think it is irresponsible for all of the #vanlife people on YouTube making this lifestyle seem easy-breezy when there are a lot of ups and downs.” - Kyle Thacker

 

“I think there is a lot of pride in doing it yourself and it’s great if you’re able to. If you have the time, the resources, the land and the tools to do it. But there is no shame in saying you didn’t do everything yourself.” - Kyle Thacker
