He sounds Irish even though he's a hoser.

Definitely an Irish accent there, with some middle Canada fusion.

I doubt he is an uneducated, unintelligent, hoser because he is using sophisticated equipment, generating higher quality videos, has a commercial Youtube site that requires a fair amount of reading and regular maintenance, and wears high quality outdoor gear requiring web research. Obviously is wearing a head mounted POV camera like a GoPro. Post processing such video with available apps is not something those with low intelligence would be successful at. Looking at his Van Life video collection, he also fishes, backpacks, and back country skis.

In this video he intelligently discusses his commercial Youtube channel of outdoor van life in such a saturated with other's market so getting the public's attention and interest is an effort.

Enjoyed his hunkering down in a Truckee parking lot video during a huge blizzard last winter. A week after the big dump and highways had cleared, was a national skiing meetup I attended and attended a couple resorts at. However weather was still rather difficult so the gathering was awkward with blocked roads so many folks were unable to get to venues. Head looks French Canadian.

Although my own modest Youtube site (35 skiing 1080p videos) is non-commercial, I will be changing to commercial at the time I also start exhibiting my landscape photography with large 8k Windows PC monitors (not TVs) that with the recent rise of the DisplayPort 2.1 Vesa standard first generation products are now rising. I have a fair amount of non-skiing videos I won't be making public to them including Cherry Creek below Lord Meadow whitewater videos I made in June 2017 a huge winter. Although most of this 75 year old's videos are mogul skiing, here is one of my own fresh powder skiing videos from last winter just 77 seconds long. So now you know something about my board handle SSSdave.
