Max & Occy

19/11/2023

The day has finally arrived!

After awkwardly stumbling into the online world more than 5 years ago, Occy and I are finally dropping our own line of merch.

The 3 main designs (swipe 👉🏼) epitomise what my channels about. Kindness, dogs & more specifically Occy.

Each item of clothing is comfy as hell, cruelty free & sustainably made with organic cotton.

Honestly, the thought of running into someone out in the wild repping our merch blows me away (be prepared for a hug incoming). I never thought it would come this far & I’m so damn proud of this community.

Let’s keep spreading the right messages 💛

Link in bio and stories!

And a huge thanks to for helping out with the designs!

So... my off-grid cabin in the rainforest is currently unliveable. I've decided to reinvest in van life by building an elaborate deck that wraps around the van and greatly improves it's living space! Hope you enjoy the new video 💛

Last week whilst visiting the fam I turned to my brother Tom (pictured/inverted) & told him honestly that I am the happiest I’ve been in a long, long time.

Conclusion.

2021 almost broke me.

I entered 2022 lacking self belief & trying desperately to cling on to the positivity that used to be a given.

This caused me to worry about things that used to never worry me. Self doubt had crept in.

Particularly in regards to my ability to make films on my own. I can remember feeling like I was on a precipice. All my insecurities were screaming at me to give it in and go back to what was comfortable.

Instead I decided to take a leap of faith. I set off on a solo lap around Australia, challenging myself to get back to nature & appreciate the little things, documenting my journey along the way.

The year that followed was one of the most healing & transformative of my life.

Amazing things happen when you step outside your comfort zone. Thank you. You made me feel so warm & welcome in 2022 💛

Occy. I couldn’t have done it without you bud.

A few of my goals for 2023
- get more hugs
- buy land
- stop comparing. We are all on our own journeys.

New video is coming very soon, I can't wait to share the next year with you all 💛

23/12/2022

I FINALLY had the chance to repay my brother and his beautiful family for all the kindness they have shown me over the years 💛

In this video I surprise them with a complete new electrical system from Renogy that will allow them to take their van completely off grid and therefore end their reliance on caravan parks forever!!

You can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYWOn2raMio

Thank you all for joining me in 2022. This year has been a hell of a ride and I am so grateful to each and everyone of you for sharing in this crazy journey! Hope you are all ready for an adventure in 2023 🙌🏼

Have you watched our latest video? 😄 If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts on caravan parks! Are they worth it? Do you prefer to stay in caravan parks or off-grid?

Occy and I have been living in vans for the majority of the past 5 years and up until this year we can could count on two hands (or paws) the amount of time we have stayed in caravan (RV) parks.
Are they worth it? 😅

Life’s been bloody good to me lately 🙌🏼💛

Thank you to all those that reminded me that distance doesn’t make a barrier to connection 💛 True friendship & love never dies.

Here is glimpse of the first half on my time in North America (the last slide will give you a hint on the second half 😉).

Come spend a day at the cabin with us! My new vid is live and honestly I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in years. Link in bio ✨

The perfect van doesn’t exi—

After well over a year of living in this beautiful big girl I have finally filmed a van tour! As a lot of you that watched my build series know, literal blood, sweat & tears went into shaping what is now my beautiful & unique home. I am so proud of this build. & if I’m honest I’m damn proud of myself. I feel like this van wasn’t meant to be finished straight away but rather slowly improved over time with thought and patience. In so many ways it’s mirrored my own journey. It had its setbacks & there will always be work to be done but s**t she’s close ☀️🏡💛

I’ve linked the new vid in my bio. I tried to make this one really interactive & to tell a story from start to finish. Occy of course stars as usual.
Hope you enjoy!

Welcome!
I have created this space as a place to not only share with you new videos and updates, but also build a community that encourages discussion, connection and kindness above all else.

I know a lot of people that watch my videos at https://youtube.com/c/MaxOccy don’t have Instagram so this will also mean that you see the posts that in the past have only been available there or on my Patreon page.

I look forward to growing alongside this wonderful community.

Much love,

Max (& Occy of course) 💛
