    Awesome Van ❤ what an adventure for him with his dad

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @esgee3829 says:

    can you even call it a natural disaster if a neistat wasn't there to film it?

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @canadude6401 says:

    THIS is good parenting. Spending all day on screens is useless, get in the car with your kid and take them to see nature! It's these "little moments" that children remember when they grow up. Anybody can take their child to Disney World, but these mini adventures are the special ones for those precious short child years….and as a bonus don't cost a dime!
    Kudos to you Van, X is going to turn out just right!

    Disaster tourism in your land, cruiser, kind of ironic, isn't it?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @jonjonjonjonjonjonjon says:

    You’re a good dad. Watching the relationship you have with your son made me tear up. Thanks for being a good dad.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @TMMx says:

    It’s great that your son likes to help you shoot videos.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @TBoodro says:

    Nothing more spirited or man than a couple of dudes some extreme weather and 4-wheel drive. 😃👍❤

    Kind of sad that he’s starting to talk “cool” already at 5. Saying “bro” and “literally” the way he does. I don’t like it.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars @tech_45 says:

    You’re a rock for your kid. You can see he knows he’s safe if you say he’s safe. That’s important to a kid growing up.
