Lolcow Nomadic Fanatic / Eric Jacobs -

[Son of Ian]

How about this guy?

His name is Eric Jacobs and he has one of those van dweller channels on youtube. He travels around with his cat in his van. Pretty much lives off viewer donations. He had several indiegogo campaigns in the past but he gave those up when he got a bunch of shit for not delivering on a documentary he was given several thousand dollars for.

He used to lash out with rant videos when he would get pissed but he has gotten better about that. Still references his plans to fight the evil trolls every now and then.

Here is a channel with some of his rant videos that he deleted from his main channel..

In the past he claimed he had some sting operation planned with local police to locate the damn dirty trolls and put them behind bars.

For the most part, he just makes vlog videos about living in his van and also posts boring videos of him walking around tourist destinations. He recently spent like a week at Disney World by himself.

People actually spend a lot of time obsessing about this guys every move.. has a couple facebook "hate groups" dedicated to analyzing his adventures.

Bro. He lives on donations???? What a lazy fuck. If you're gonna do the nomadic thing you need to have a needed skill or something you can do to make money while on the road. Like play guitar or be really good at gardening/agriculture, carpentry, something like that. You also have to be pleasant to be around and make friends who can/will help you on your way. Does he have anything like that or is he just using indiegogo as an internet tugboat?

Especially if he was given several thousand dollars via indiegogo and didn't deliver on the promised documentary he was gonna make.

Surprised he still has people willing to donate to him after that.

Whaaaaaaaat. Are you serious. That's ridiculous. How does he even afford internet if he lives in a van I don't understand. Plus that video is wackkk.

Son of Ian would know more then I would about that situation I guess.

His cat's gotta be real patient to be cool with being in a moving vehicle most of the time.

EDIT: His cat is cute. Pretty fat, though.

Not to mention the

Or good old McD's free wifi (which is far more likely for a dude living in a van)

Update: Nomadic Fanatic recently finished e-begging for donations to get his transmission repaired.

Instead of stopping when he reached enough money to get it repaired, he kept the donations rolling in until he had enough to buy a $20,000 RV.

This is my first time hearing about this guy, but he looks like the ultimate jabroni of internet-enabled nomads. Fedsmoker would kick his ass.

Fedsmoker could probably kick most of the asses of people we have threads on.

And I'd pay to watch.
