So during COVID lockdowns I developed this guilty pleasure of watching YouTubers having miserable times, in the best case vanlife YouTubers.

I'm feeling the old itch, can you help me? Do you know any videos of people on travel channels having really, really bad times?

I prefer vanlife people, followed by boatlife people. But I'm open to different modes of transport. The more privileged the people and the more miserable their travels, the better.

Edit: so I will give you guys something at least, can't find any of the random small stuff I watched years ago atm. The channel vagrant holiday maybe doesn't quite fulfill the criteria, because the guy is doing everything consciously, but it's a fantastic channel, and there definitely is discomfort:

There was a lot of publicity a few weeks ago about “the year long cruise” that ended. I haven’t tuned in, but apparently quite a few people on the cruise vlogged their travels. There were apparent conflicts, and with both sides wanting to say their part I’m sure more misery was shared publicly than one would normally air. This might just border on reality TV though, I haven’t really looked into it.

I mean, a year long cruise sounds like hell, so I can see it being a breeding ground for conflict.
