Arizona Thunderstorms | Living The Van Life

[@tsrgoinc]

I’m here for the rain and thunder! But I stayed for the pup! 🥹

[@chrisluke1010]

Beautiful video, Chad. And I think all of us here would agree - keep the puppy. He'd be your faithful companion on many more adventures. You were meant to find each other.

[@moretoexplore6736]

Just what I was going to say 😊 fascinating photography! I have seen several videos of Shiprock, but your photography gives us a different perspective. Thank you!

[@robertmiligi4835]

Great vid vid pa😅nd yea gotta keep puppy

[@donaldanderson4139]

Your a true hero for keeping this poor dog. Thanx for the beautiful photo shots. Much appreciated.

[@CarolP-uk]

How people can just discard animals is beyond me. I hope you were able to help that poor dog Chad 🤞

[@8RedBear5]

I don't understand either, abandoning an animal like this is a fate worst than death. As the poor creature has to suffer the elements while trying to survive. Several years back my sister rescued a norwegian forest cat some one had dumped near my parents rural home at the beginning of winter. The cat is more dog than anything else, a great companion and helps keep the local rabbit population in check.

[@rd4660]

It's a reservation dog. They're different than your big city dogs. They live a hard life.

[@G_de_Coligny]

@@rd4660awww… tell us all about the hard life of a dog found in a place with no shelter, water, prey (food) in the middle of a scorching hot desert…

[@maximuskiowa7393]

Dogs 🐕 run in packs all over the reservation i assure you he eats well. Everyone on the res feeds them they go from house to house they know all the water holes

[@robertsmith-zz7ot]

​@@rd4660The exact same thing came to mind. A rez dog.

[@MunmunDasgupta-k2e]

God bless you Chad for rescuing the puppy from the middle of nowhere , you're a great person , a champ.

[@DominickHoelzel]

God bless

[@darkmxhishot7475]

He never actually said that he was rescuing the dog.

[@TinaTijerina-i6z]

​@@darkmxhishot7475you don't have to be a smart-ass

[@SuziPoozi]

That poor puppy was so grateful you found him and so am I. People dump their dogs in the desert a lot down there and it pisses me off! I don't understand WTF is wrong with people! I really hope you keep him, he's absolutely beautiful and it would be fun to see him on the road with you. Thank you for having such a good heart and getting him out of there. Your storm footage was amazing! I think that if you printed some of the stills and put them in your store they would sell. : )

[@gamermonkk8522]

I agree, looks like a great companion to have on future travels :)

There is a reason why LTVL is at the top of the OG van travel channels. Epic travels, top level storylines, and the highest level of videography. Nature gifted your travels my friend ~ and gave you the cutest dog in return…

Absolutely!

[@mikepetet111]

Wow... indeed

[@my_van_apartment]

You finding the pup in the massive dessert is one of those meant to find each other moments. Looks like a Kelpie. Hopefully he joins the LTVL family. Keep us updated.

[@bikeama]

By far some of the best time lapse I have ever seen.

[@PattisArtInnaVan]

So thankful you saved that pup! Dogs and puppies are dumped for coyote food out there on a regular basis. I’ve seen it for myself. I’m grateful to you!❤

[@Piperdreams]

Wtffff??? People who do that crap better not have me watching them - not likely to leave a whole human being!

[@AlienChilde]

​@@Piperdreams Someone who abandons an animal in the desert to suffer and die like that doesn't even deserve to be called a human. They should have to suffer the same fate as the animals they abused. Because it is abuse. So glad he found this pupper and rescued it!

[@unitedscum]

What an epic adventure! 🤟🏼

[@PattisArtInnaVan]

@@Piperdreams I like the way you think!👍

The scenery was absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you so much for saving that poor puppy!!! He never would have survived!!! Blessings your way always!!!

[@barnabyjonesdangerdog758]

The thunderstorm was awesome, the rock was amazing..but the dog stole the show.

[@netttyrod]

Poor little sweet baby. He was put in your path for a reason.

[@lyndseykovacs167]

I love all the storms absolutely excellent. Brilliant photos and I'm so glad you took that beautiful puppy with you ❤ I hope you keep him he's so cute.

[@TimAndShannonLTD]

Dude. This. Is. Freakin Awesome! Totally loved the nighttime storm timelapse. And well, totally loved everything else. This is epic! And wow what a cute pup. Wondering if it'll make an appearance in your next video? Thanks for the visionary tour of Shiprock. We've seen that from a distance several times but this drone footage is awesome!

[@sticktoyourdrums8177]

Hands down, the best videography on KZbin. Keep it up bro! So Awesome!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Cheers!

[@GeminiJourney1111]

Visited the Kennecott Copper Mine in Utah in 2022. It is pretty amazing what they do at those mines. Absolutely Epic thunderstorm shots and time-lapse footage-love it!! Can’t wait to see how you helped the pup. It’s pretty disgusting to know that some folks will and do abandon animals. 💔 you were that pups saving grace. Bless you Chad.

[@KingKpop]

Bless you for caring for that pup. Thank you very much. ❤️

[@Dwarloc]

HE seems to be pretty cool and cute , I think he would be a good companion for you CHAD .. GOD BLESS YOU FOR NOT LEAVING HIM BEHIND ❤😂

[@camilodiaz3126]

Videography was amazing. Pup walking towards you with trust….no words. Good heart bro. Made my eyes water. God is with you.

[@northcoastoutdoorchannel]

Incredible Timelapse at the end but also enjoyed the ones of the thunderstorms! Nice dog, and fantastic footage as always!

[@hdc2766]

14 mins in and I had to stop and write... this has been the most incredible van life video I have ever seen!

You didn’t find the pup, the pup found you! That’s a sign for a companion of the van life for sure!

Magnificent video! Thanks Chad! Glad you gave that handsome doggo a place to stay for a while.

[@danielrozkuszka4992]

Oh my God, Chad. You have to keep that Pup. He is adorable. He follows you like you are old friends.

[@Fletchgetslost]

Damn, those were some of the most epic shots you’ve captured! Another great video as always. Appreciate the content you produce. Beats the hell out of anything on streaming services or tv. And that puppy was super happy to find you!

[@belzeblade2997]

The Nature, a dog (this eyes !!!) and and his friend ;-)

[@monac9459]

Can we get an update please on the pup? The video was amazing as always. My heart is breaking for that dog.

[@frankiez7414]

Many thanks again Chad. My favourite part was when the drone came over the hill and you seen the mountain ridge line in all its glory. We are just so insignificant on this planet.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Indeed! One of my favorite shots in the video as well. Love the evening light out there in that zone.

[@tienv]

Beautiful videos of the AZ landscape, the sights, sounds you put together in this video are truly top notch!!! I was amaze at the spectacular time lapse at night, the drone shots etcc... But best of all when you picked up that little dog out of nowhere in the dessert and save that poor dog. God Bless you to do the right thing. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video... Take care Chad and stay safe!

[@lisamillerbuchert9447]

He is a cute pup. I hope he’ll get a home. Thank you for rescuing the pup

[@wandervan.kb71]

You always know the right music to add to your videos as they incite the type of deep-seated feeling you would have traveling along these roads and old towns. So beautiful and amazing these places are still around the world when you only see your area day in and day out. Absolutely awesome! Thanks for your talent and dedication to awesomeness!!! Thank you for being such a kind and generous soul in helping that poor abandoned puppy!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Ha! No way! Small world! Hopefully I got the info correct 👍🏻

[@Just_Mike27]

@LivingTheVanLife yes sir you did. Those tires are 12 feet tall and they are like driving a house from the second floor. When they are fully loaded they weigh right at 1 million pounds. Definitely don't want to get complacent when driving. Anyway, safe travels and it was awesome of you to take care of the pup. Much respect

[@satajet883]

Storm footage was amazing. That is going to be a nice pup. He already stays by your side. Great vid.

That is one sweet dog, he or she will be your best comanion forever, I see a lot of doberman in him. As a doberman owner, I coul dnot recomend him more. Please keep him, you will not regret it.

[@nickyp310]

I love all your videos but this one deserves special recognition. The cinematography is absolutely stunning.

We were amazed watching all those landscapes and views, but we were delighted with the puppy. Perhaps, the luck was not only for him but also for you, and you just gained a furry friend for life and a new travel companion. Greetings from Argentina!
