Living In My Van - Living The Van Life

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Beautiful scenery and everyone needs to be patient. Chad films a lot of footage and then needs to edit it for upload. He's doing it in between his day job - I'm sure he's got winter adventures coming up. I am enjoying what he is releasing as it's ready.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Amen to that Gnomie! Thanks for being an advocate, and everything you say is correct. I’ve been on the road for 4 months and have a large library of footage that I have been working on editing thru to produce content for everyone to enjoy. I’ve been editing nonstop every day since Dec 19, 2021 to get this library of footage sorted, edited and up on KZbin so that I can move on to winter content.

[@typetwotim]

You got the formula Chad don’t change a thing

[@bitminerbob6731]

Pretty sure being a content creator ("KZbinr") is Chad's day job too. I am mesmerized by the drone shots of this desert landscape. Could very well be on another planet.

Hey Chad, I'm sure you won't see this message as I am re-watching this video and wanted to say, "Thanks!" Your videos fill me with such peace through seeing all of the wondrous scenery that I continue to be in awe of. I never traveled growing up and I have recently been doing so in my "neck of the woods'. Can't wait to get out and see half of the places you have shared with us. Really enjoy the cooking scenes too. Take care!

So relaxing to watch this video, and I'm only about 15 mins in. I often wonder what is going through your thoughts, as you sit there in front of the fire. I think instead, of the thoughts that I would have. This life, we each have, we all have, is so individual to all of us - but here I am connected like watching a dream, a lifestyle so different to my own. I contemplate, and appreciate, and thank you for sharing all that you do. Wishing you well Chad.

[@jmarkd59]

Loved this one, from the amazing start to the finish. Definitely in my top 10 of LTVL videos. The drone footage, the music selection, the fireside time, all of it just great. And for a moment, I imagined myself out on that rim ledge with you building the fire. I do envy you, my friend. Amazing work. As someone has already commented, your creativity in doing these videos is 2nd to none. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks so much, Mark! Glad you liked it-

Hi Chad I have been watching you on KZbin some of your stuff a year ago and even two years ago. I lost my husband around a year ago so I'm trying to continue my life I have been interested in tiny houses schoolies and so on I bought a small teardrop vintage camper just so I can get the feel of it. You are so inspiring I love how you make the best meals ever in the snow even. I watched you make a spaghetti sauce meal in the snow you had to finish the noodles in the van because the weather got so bad but your pasta looks so good I had to get up off the couch and go make a small batch of spaghetti sauce it was nothing like yours I just had to have some. I love the fact that you make these wonderful meals while camping in all kinds of conditions and it keeps me coming back to you watch your videos it also shows us what we could do. I appreciate you. Sincerely Linda gunterman

The light emitted from the campfire illuminates the camper while the sun illuminates the horizon and sky. This right here, is an iconic camping image.

I really appreciate the time you take to shoot and edit your videos Chad, and I always look forward to watching whenever I see the notification. Thank you, brother!

I found your channel 5 years ago through owning my own t3 westfalia, which I've now also just retired to the garage and bought a new vw t6.1 this year and I'm in the process of building it out. I know exactly how difficult it can be keeping the old vw's on the road and they can tend to let you down when you really want to go on a trip. Hence why I upgrade and chad did to. But the old westys will always be in our hearts. Keep on trucking man!!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Hello Rory! Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. I share very much the same sentiments as you on the older VW's. It just comes down to a time where you need a more modern vehicle. Glad to have you onboard on the channel for so many years. Keep on truckin!

Who wants winter snowy blizzard chilly videos???

[@joybeekingston6472]

The narrative sitting on the bluff was very nice. I'm 70 now but I did live Van Life on the weekends for many years before Van Life was cool lol Mine were DIY, most built with my kids. Now those times are their favorite memories. Mine too. This was an awesome video! My son is also a Chad, it's a name with strong character 🙂

[@joeheid4757]

I was holding back on this comment for awhile because I know it won't be liked. But after seeing it done twice in this video put me over the top. We know you know how to build a fire. It doesn't need this much video time every video. It's just wasted time. And your subs have spoken!! We want snow!!!

[@rickardenstedt]

We want and we want....??? If you want snow you can drive to the snow and experience it! Ofcourse your entitled to say your meaning but it doesn't sound good, Sir! I just want to say; be satisfied or change channel.... we can not demand this good guy to do anything else than he want himself. Sit down and feel relaxed when preparing the fire, it's not waste of time, it's tranquilizing. But i Wonder where he gets the fire wood from.... Regards Rickard from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@typetwotim]

I thinks all about relaxing and the cup of whiskey and the fire , not necessarily it that order .

[@thomascochrane3100]

You're entitled to your opinion, and you're wrong I believe. Because you said we, and you certainly don't speak for me. Chad's videos have a vibe. A form of symmetry. I know how he builds his fire, but it still is welcome and relaxing to see everytime. Because I know it's going to Segway into a wonderful piece of cooking, or relaxation by the fire while he gives some of his insights. The amount of entitlement in your comment reaches legendary levels. Chad makes beautiful videos, and you get to watch for free. He owes you nothing. I hope he doesn't take your comment to heart. It is a comment that can only dishearten, not inspire.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Are you going to watch me build a fire if it's in the snow? It is actually my favorite thing to do while camping - the building of a fire. It's one thing I enjoy about filming these episodes and it’s very satisfying editing the fire scenes together as well. I wasn’t actually trying to educate anyone that I know how to build a fire. You know that I know how to drive a van as well, but yet every video features me driving a van thru the scenes. Everyone loves to have fire while out camping. It's one aspect of these adventures that people can relate to. So, as I work hard to capture the essence of what it’s like to be out on these camping experiences and bring it home to people enjoying these videos from their living rooms, the fire building is important part of the whole experience. You'll get snow when I feel like showing you snow. And I will make sure you know I know how to build a fire in the snow as well.

Chad I love how the sprinter turned out..I'm a trucker and every once in a while I will see a sprinter set up similar to yours..and I ll do a double take...I love your channel and .my favorite part is when you are chopping and shaving the wood just the dry sound it makes let's me KNOW that something exciting is on its way...then you whip out the cutting board and that 1/2 moon shaped knife and then the next thing I know you are chopping up vegetables and adding dry ingredients then wet ingredients then powder then my other favorite part and I ve said it before is you won't say a word you will just show who makes the seasonings that you use..SEE YOU JUST DID IT JUST NOW WITH THE CANE SUGAR...HA HA HA

This video is so beautiful and inspirational and educational. Omg is so cool how you got to see the place where those natives lived in the 1000's. You inspire me to do exactly what you do lol. The outdoors and backcountry is so underrated today, it's great to see someone enjoying life how it was meant to be.

When I'm traveling, as I did in Utah and the SW for 4 mos, there just aren't enough hours in the day to drive, film and then edit on a really regular basis. Catch up time now! Thanks for watching-
