Heille, on a réussi deux objectifs avec ce projet pour Tourisme Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean :

1) Faire du contenu de qualité en français pour Youtube
2) Faire du contenu touristique pour la région où j'ai été élevé.

En plus, on s'est dit qu'on n'allait pas utiliser nos téléphones pour se faire un itinéraire, en s'appuyant à 100% sur les bureaux d'information touristique de la région.

Résultat : un voyage vraiment plus coloré et surprenant que si Chat GPT nous avait conseillé comme un vieux crouton qui lit les nouvelles à moitié.

Voyager comme on faisait en 1995, c'est franchement rafraîchissant.

Pour ce premier épisode, on débute notre aventure à Chicoutimi, au cœur du Saguenay, pour bâtir notre itinéraire… old school style comme en 1995.

Dans cette nouvelle série, on relève un défi un peu fou : explorer ...

That's it guys, with a little delay, here is the final result for the Japanese Conversion that my father and I did in the last few months. This was a fun project, combining old and new techniques for us, somehow changing some of the previous views we had on cabinet making.

My priorities for this Kei Camper were the following:

1) Had to stay light - The van has a max payload of 700 pounds.
2) Had to be modular - The engine bay is in the floor, in the back.
3) Had to feel cozy - Spending hours in an "ugly" van is hard.
4) Had to be easy to remove - No tools, no help, one guy.

Let me know what you think! I feel like I'm presenting my arts and craft project of the weekend in third grade. HA! There is a full video on youtube right here, if ever :

I recently started playing music "seriously" with my good friend Fred St-Gelais. The name of the band is Scooter Gas and it has a little 80s-retro-nostalgia-pop-vibe to it.

Today is the day we release our first videoclip - ROLLERBLADES and I'm excited like a 6 year-old in a candy shop. Sounds easy and fun, but here's a few things you need to know.

THE VIDEO – ROLLERBLADES
A project like this is the fusion of the passions of a big group of close friends: music, filmmaking, choreography, dance, and spray-painting instruments bought on Marketplace.

More than 50 people worked on this video — the kind of thing that almost never happens anymore in 2025, in an industry of small budgets and big ideas.

THE SONG – BACK IN 1987
We’re big nostalgics. We miss the days when you had to blow into a Nintendo cartridge to make it work, when meeting friends meant heading to the park after dinner, when you’d split your forehead open playing dodgeball, and when meeting the girl of your life happened at the teen dance on Friday night, between two sips of Coca-Cola in the school gymnasium.

The kind of project that reminds me why I make content and why I work so much. It just doesn't feel like work at all.

Hope you enjoy!

En 1989, on allait au gymnase de l'école le vendredi soir, les profs branchaient des amplis dans les prises du terrain de basket, et on dansait sur Pump Up T...

CANADA JOINS THE U.S. AS THE 51ST STATE… kinda.

I made a list of what Canadians would ask to accept becoming the 51st State. A very serious, totally not satirical, and absolutely reasonable list.

Demands include:
- Renaming the White House to “The Off-White Bungalow”.
- Switching all government fonts to Comic Sans.
- Free Costco memberships (executive tier, obviously).
- And, of course, using the Metric System (Jeez).

It’s part sketch, part parody, and part love letter to the weird friendship between our two countries.

Here are 20 totally "reasonable" demands from Canada for joining the United States. From free healthcare (even for Texans) to mandatory snow tires in Hawaii,...

🚐❄️ LOST IN BAJA - EPISODE 01 ❄️🚐

What’s more stupid than deciding to drive across the entire United States in a van right now? Doing it in the worst snowstorm of the last decade.

We left Montreal dreaming of warm beaches and desert sunsets… but first, we had to survive an absolute whiteout. From Canada to the U.S., it was just snow, ice, and semi-trucks doing kickflips in the ditch. Highways disappeared, visibility hit zero, and at some point, we had to ask ourselves: Why are we doing this?

After what felt like an eternity of sliding our way south, we finally made it to Denver, where Dillon and Julie welcomed us with food and a reminder that normal people don’t attempt this kind of road trip in February.

Next stop: Utah. Will we finally escape the snow? Or are we just cursed?

🎥 WATCH EPISODE 01 NOW 🎥
👇 Let us know in the comments how stupid this actually was. (Scale of 1 to “You should’ve stayed home.”)

The adventure begins in true Canadian fashion—buried in snow. As we roll out of Montreal, a relentless snowstorm follows us south, proving that winter isn’t ...

After months of experimenting with short-form content, we’re going back to long-form storytelling on Youtube—because some adventures can’t be crammed into 60 seconds. We tried, I mean - But everything ended up looking like a chopped-up film anyways.

There.

Introducing Vanlife Sagas: Lost in Baja—a raw, unfiltered, and wild ride from the snow-covered streets of Montreal to the sun-scorched deserts and surf breaks of Baja, Mexico. 🌵🏄‍♂️

This isn’t just a road trip. It’s 75 minutes of madness, strong Piña Coladas, questionable border crossings, and the never-ending hunt for the perfect wave. Johnny Horsepower (Ulysse) and Pablo Revolver (Dom) are behind the wheel, and trust us—it gets messy.

🚀 First episode dropping TOMORROW on Youtube, for a big come back after 12 months of silence.

🎬 Produced by - Vanlife Sagas

🚐🎥 NEW YOUTUBE SERIES ALERT – BAJA CHAOS EDITION! 🌵🍻
⚠️ ON YOUTUBE - FEB 16 ⚠️

We packed our cameras, hit the road, and somehow ended up in Baja California, proving once again that having a plan is overrated. This trip was supposed to be about epic landscapes, deep storytelling, and cinematic shots… but mostly, it was us getting lost, writing songs about Mexican food, and questioning our life choices.

🎥 WHY BAJA?�
Because it's wild, unpredictable, and full of surprises—but mostly because everyone told us it was a Vanlife Paradise. And we confirm: it is. 🚐💨�

✅ Insane coastal views? Check. 🌊�
✅ Endless tacos? Check. 🌮�
✅ Sand in unexpected places? Oh hell yeah. �
✅ Hot sauce on breakfast? Yep, that too.

Baja had everything we wanted and everything we didn’t know we needed (including a deep discussion on whether a margarita counts as a breakfast drink).

🎬 BACK TO LONG FORM
Vanlife Sagas was built on long-form storytelling. The fact is—we turbo-suck at short form. Like… AF. If TikTok is Formula 1, we're out here joyriding a Japanese Mini-Truck with one wheel missing.�Some stories deserve more than a 15-second-cringy-call-to-action.

We love real adventure, raw moments, and the kind of road trip footage that doesn’t cut out all the boring parts.

📅 First episode drops FEBRUARY 16 on YouTube.�Subscribe now, or forever wonder what a Baja breakdown, a desert survival lesson, and a Piña Colada-fueled existential crisis look like in glorious 1080p.

🎥 Directed by Ulysse Guay.

📺 Watch it. Love it. Roast us in the comments. Let’s gooo! 🏜️🔥�

A year ago, we finished filming an adventure documentary with La grande traversée: a reimagined triathlon of 1,350 km across the lands, the mountains and the waters of the Province of Quebec.

Exactly a year later (I mean EXACTLY), we are done editing the film and are about to present it in theaters. Cannot be more proud of the team, especially the athlete Anabelle, and the video guys and girls that shot and edited over 40 hours of footage that covered 60-70 days of storytelling and mentally challenging sport disciplines.

In theaters near you soon.
