How a channel like yours hasn't reached a million subs yet is beyond my belief. Been watching for years and it's A++ content!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks much!

[@archangel5627]

I completely agree. I’ve been watching Chad Living the Van Life for years now and as far as this genre of video content goes, Chad’s channel is a huge cut above the rest. Regardless of how many subs he has, Chad is 100% real and he cares about the quality of his content and his viewers. I’m loving the new vehicle and I can’t wait to see all the updates and upgrades on the progress of his build. When Chad’s finished building out this Sprinter Van, it’s going to be something that every outdoorsman will want to strive for!

[@praveen838]

I also agree✌💓

[@johnhendren1794]

I hope you never stop putting these videos out. I traveled and lived just about every state in the country from Alaska to Florida and every province in Canada as well. But now I'm disabled and these videos give me much enjoyment. This is a ministry, God has given you this to share to those unable to experience this wonderful creation. Thank you and keep exploring.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thank you very much for being part of the channel John. I’m happy that these kinds of videos get to be shared with you and you find enjoyment and happiness. Cheers! Keep on truckin!

[@robinprice6879]

I don’t think I’ve commented before but this time it’s a must. I live just south of you in Arlington and I can’t tell you what a delight it is to see you show casing some of the most stunning scenery in our amazing state. Your videography and photography are second to none. The time you take to get all those shots and the drone footage really comes through in your final product. Simply amazing. Last year when you talked about losing your dad it really touched me. Shortly after that video my dad passed away as well. I was fortunate enough to hold onto him while he left. Now for some reason every time you post another video it makes me think of our dads. It’s a great thing. Thanks again for all your efforts.

[@jpgabobo]

Feels like a return to the feel of the old videos. Different van, same awesome host.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Of course. I haven’t changed. My style hasn’t changed. I just had to do some different videos through my build series. Thanks for watching!

I have watched several van life folks KZbin’s over the years. Yours in my opinion is the best. Nothing like cooking in cast iron outside with a beautiful view. I live in SC and camped at Charleston about 3 weeks ago. Smithey Ironworks foundry is located there so payed them a visit and purchased a number 12 skillet. Made some really great meals already. Safe travels keep on traveling and cooking.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Well, it looks like Twisp will be on my bucket list of must visits. I'm just about done with my van conversion, a '19 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van. I've been wanting to live the nomadic lifestyle since retiring from the Air Force 34 years but a job offer in Maui altered my plans. I watch all of the van life videos to compile a list of must see places added to those I want to revisit. I was stationed on the Oregon coastline in '69 and it was incredible to live and work on a mountain top overlooking the beautiful Pacific. I used to send patients up to Tacoma, Madigan General Hospital, but never got to visit up there. I skied at Whistler once and want to return. Your videos are sensational, Chad, and you are a credit to your craft. Beautiful stuff!

[@mkp3824]

I noticed that, too. Even though taxes are high in California, they have A LOT of tax loopholes, too. My uncle used to live there. They had, "an antique store," which they used to write off a lot of taxes. Of course, there was no store. Just a bunch of business cards. So, maybe he's taking advantage of something like that. After all, he makes videos, so why not? If he can write off more of his equipment, fuel, etc, and make more money, good for him. He's earned it.
