I Urban Stealth Camped In My Van During A Snow Storm | Living The Van Life

[@brandonbuchanan8034]

I can not tell you how happy I am that you did a video like your old ones! Even better is you used the old van. Personally it didn't matter which van you used but I am so glad you did this video. Food looked AMAZING! I really hope you had fun.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thank you, Brandon!

[@perezfecto]

I totally agree! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@mkp3824]

​@LivingTheVanLife the best one's are you going to Canada with Ann in the storm and the time you went to Cache creek to test the heater! The old ones are the best!

[@Dnaesq]

I come back every day to see if he uploaded the 2nd Alaska adventure. I can’t wait till Chad is at 1M subs. He deserves it for all the amazing work he puts into the production. I just wish he posted more often!🙃

Exactly why we’re here also 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

many of my favorite KZbinr creators reach a level of success and once that money is rolling in....poof..... they're all but gone. It's sad for me. I'm glad for their success but miss seeing what they've been up to.

[@warbirdwf]

By far, this was the most beautifully filmed video you've put out. The way you filmed yourself walking through the street. The music selection setting the perfect mood. The drone footage at the end. The editing. Just WOW! Fantastic Chad!

[@taichihead42]

He even has drones with cameras.

[@DanKeeley]

It's a sad thing that as we approach spring the glorious winter vanlife videos will end, a craft that Chad has mastered!

[@cyclops9125]

There will be glorious spring van life videos

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Yes! And I have several late Summer and Fall episodes that I set aside for the Winter content. More to come!

[@karenhenderson3889]

What’s not to love about snow falling in the city? You Chad just captured the beauty of something not always shining like the mountain tops. Thank you kindly young man. You have awed us once again with an excellent production.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks, Karen, for watching!

[@elib7311]

Oooh, this IS a treat! Love ending the day with a Van Life video. Relaxing, beautiful, and adventure this old broken body won’t be able to ever do in person so thank you, Chad, for sharing/bringing to us a day of living! UPDATE: just reached the end…beautiful. Just…beautiful.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@pampeake3275]

Only you, Chad, could make a city look so beautiful and inviting.I just love your work.Your cinematography is simply outstanding. Thank you for once again taking us on another relaxing adventure with you. My favorite Van lifer. My favorite You tuber. Chad DeRosa, you are the best !!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Wow! Thanks, Pam, for watching-

[@joelnoronhaxyz]

I always dreamt of coming to the US to enjoy the winter like this. But growing up realised how hard it is to move a different country, this channel makes me live my dream. I really enjoy the cinematic shots, the music and the vibe.

[@Waltygo87]

Thanks for the relaxing, but quality and entertaining content! Felt like I was able to "get away" while I was on my lunch break at work. Appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos. Really cool!

[@outrigger_van-life]

A sweet day in the life.

Absolutely love the winter videos. I'll watch these endlessly.

The talent of videography in this channel is another level! Chad you are a talented storyteller and traveler

Another brilliantly edited piece of cinematography Chad. A total surprise as to where you were taking us and no matter where that is it is stunning. Thank you sir once again.

Hey! Ive been watching LTVL for a few months now and I can't get over the fact how surprising entertaining these are.

[@SlowTransitTimes]

That's my kinda meal! Looks absolutely delicious. I am glad I'm not the only one who likes to sit in my van in parking lots in winter, cook, and watch the world go by. Short local escapes are good.

[@WrenchlifeinJoco]

I love to sit back with a mix drink on a Friday or Saturday night and watch your camping video’s. Hope everything is going good with you Chad!

[@johnmedland]

This is why I subscribed to your channel all those years ago. Fantastic. The ambience is amazing. The colors and the camerawork. Everything. Thank you.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Awesome, glad to. have you onboard! Thanks for watching!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Wow, thank you! Thanks for being a part of the channel-

[@tp06]

When you walked around the city, it gave me movie/video game vibes. It's like you had the whole city to yourself.

[@TheCrossnecks]

You're the master in catching moments and transforming it into emotions. Following your for quiet a long time but this is one of the most beautiful videos you've created. Keep creating more of this. Things people can dive into. Thanks 🙏

[@willemdodgerford5782]

Your videos of wintercamping in the vw are the best dude, theres something special about them

[@tonytrumble]

Good to see the vanogan I'm sure it's going to be in your stable until the end of time!

[@papamarkw]

What a clever change. Bellingham has never Looked better. The Chamber Of Commerce owes you one. Beautifully done.

Killer footage again! Can't wait to see what you put together from the trip you joined us on! Stoked!!!

[@sybilhardy8683]

Amazing photography Chad. It made me feel like I was there too. Love your work 🥰

[@bootmender]

I wish everybody had as good of production as you, I so look forward to your videos. And what makes it great is I have had several VW’s myself. I drove my 71 bus for 9 years. I am thinking your in Bellingham, Washington.

[@brennanspark]

Wow that scene of you walking in the snow in that empty town was emotional and mesmerizing.

[@patrickcharlton1351]

I would watch this a year ago and got away from it. I seem to come back to it. Chad really draws you in with the music, cooking and talk. It's relaxing that he does something that he enjoys and people like it. Thank you for sharing your experience s!

[@joesondag6801]

Man, I find real Peace in this video. Thank you.

[@yassofpirpanjals]

The old van has a separate fan base. Beautiful cinematics and music, Chad.

[@TCUteacher]

This video made me so nostalgic! That town could have looked the same 50 years ago

[@russellrlf]

I started watching your vids several years ago. Most were you talking while you drove. I am now back and this is what you do now? This is incredible video making at its best. Just the way you used the camera. You are next level. Seriously, good job.

[@lucast3006]

Yeah his videos are the best.

[@ManxAndy]

@@lucast3006 the video work is amazing, as is the editing, you can feel part of the story , and it’s all down to the way Chad makes you feel immersed in his world, I follow at least 30 wild camp channels….this is my go to channel, and I live on a 33 x13 mile island in the Irish Sea….IOM🇮🇲…a million miles away from the territory and the weather that Chad is bringing us, but I could see myself wanting that life, and doing what he does, I’m just on the wrong continent 👍🇮🇲

The spirit of living the van life is back! It's so much better with the Westfalia than with the 100k usd Sprinter van!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

It's been fun to pull the old Vanagon out for some local shoots, but the Sprinter is where it's at when it comes to living and traveling. Does not compare, but glad everyone enjoys seeing the Westphalia out and about once in awhile-

[@garyblack2858]

The snowy walk in downtown Bellingham was beautifully silent and peaceful. White lights in the evening darkness. The pretty background music certainly helped to set the mood. Nice!

[@OlyWALife]

Is this Bellingham?

[@saeed.saeedi]

I haven't commented before, but after watching this video, I got a very different feeling from it, which was very different from your previous works and it was great. I congratulate you, my friend, you made me feel good Please make this type of urban video again, it's very good Thanks

Hi Chad, thank you for sending me an update your journey. I love your winter treks. I can almost smell the chicken and mushrooms cooking. It's gonna be a good meal!! I love the snow when it comes down in big flakes. It's the best time to walk. You're really quiet in this video. Hope all is well with you. Beautiful footage. Fresh fallen snow makes everything so beautiful. Drive safe. Keep safe. God bless you on your next adventure. 😘

[@julier6779]

All I can say is, wow, absolutely beautiful...

[@Northernwild]

Great video. For some reason, I find the old van videos much more appealing. Think it's because it's more reachable for the normal person

[@jitender0282]

Yet another masterpiece from you Chad. It is commendable what you are able to do alone to make this video. The perfect angles, the music I still cant believe you do it along and not with a bunch of guys. You are incredible with a camera. Great video as always. Thank you for taking all the efforts in making this masterpiece.

[@SiriusStarGazer]

thank you. The place looked beautiful. So calm and relaxing and like a fairy tale scenary. Loved it!

I love the attention to detail, like no footprints when you step out of the van, etc....👊

If I didn't already live in the PNW, your videos would make me want to move to the PNW. Definitely makes me nostalgic for my old '77 VW, too.

Hey Chad, that was so beautiful seeing that city at night time with the snow falling and then to see it in the daytime. Amazing thanks for sharing that was a lot of fun. be safe out there and stay warm.♥️✌️👍🙂🏔️🚐

5:00 freeze food on the roof, 05:15 then drive, it's so crazy. 6:37 cooking part. 11:30 having meal. 17:18 watch movie. (having a mug of iced drink would be better)

[@LivingTheVanLife]

There's an indent on the VW roof for storage space. Fridge resides in the Sprinter. Why not keep food cold outside when it's freezing temps, it won't fall out.
