No apology necessary,,, The heater is all part of the experience ...... And what a GREAT LOCATION,,, Snow, Wind, and the whole Van so well equipped ..... I wish I was 40 yrs younger to do it all over again,,, enjoy every second to the MAX .... I had a van in the 70's, 80's, 90's and I really miss it,,, so many things I think of now I should have done then,, so whatever crazy adventure idea you have, DO IT,, you'll be glad you did !!!!!

Study,work,make money and all so Obama/Biden inflation can take it away. Do stuff when you are young. It's a shame most things require money.

I'm glad I found you again❤ I lost my husband a little over a year ago and disconnected from social media! The van looks amazing 😍, I love it!

[@adityaverma3916]

You look terrifying

[@faceup9257]

of all the van lifer's van, I like your van the most. and i like your enthusiasm for the vehicle and the filming and the places you visit. Your attention to details in 3 of those is unique.

[@sandrajacob7550]

Bless you Chad. Your wonderful adventures are such a blessing for us folks who will never be lucky enough to make the journey. Keep on keeping on. Thank you from the U.K. x

[@christinej9080]

The sound of the heater is actually relaxing 😊 This whole video was zen👍

[@lackofdubs5975]

The sound makes me feel anxious lol. Hate buzzing noises and the sound of wind from a fan. 😂

[@YeaVex]

You never disappoint and just the start of this video makes it a great one. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@colinmccourt1571]

Was just watch the Norwegian Xplorer, who was watching you whilst he was out in the mountains in Norway! He recommended you on his channel.

[@allanblack8635]

I love the sound of the diesel heater. It transports me into a cozy warm van. I found myself with my eyes closed falling asleep with that hum going. No better sound than the sound of a small heater.

[@zlatan_2197]

Winter atmosphere is something else, especially when it's combined with cosiness of inside the van. Great video once again Chad!

[@PsalmS-vi8zl]

Chad - I enjoy all your videos but I must say your winter videos are epic! Stay toasty 🙂❤🙏

[@Rinzler03ny]

I work from home and I watch your video whenever there is a new one because mentally soothing traveling the outdoor especially during winter in the woods. I hope one day I can buy my own sprinter van that is built for such adventures. Keep rocking and trekking, Thanks for taking us to your adventure.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks for the comment and the very kind words. Keep your eyes on those goals of yours

[@DAVexpeditions]

I thoroughly enjoy seeing how far mechanically your Sprinter can be pushed beyond the original design of this van. Truly inspirational.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!

Van Camp in Blizzard. Grab myself a beverage and sit back and enjoy..nothing better. Thanks Chad

[@Dav-S5658]

Chad, I've been a sub for many years. We have talked a few times at Expo, and I told you this in person, but I'll write it down here too. The thing that hooked me early on about your videos is your attention to the soundscape.. You have such artistry in your use of ambient sound, music, and silence. Combined with your videography, your channel is a joy to follow.. If I were a blind man, I would still watch your videos. Your comment about the heater sound, prompted my comment. I just had to chuckle.....David

[@johnsimpson8198]

So true David,he's the Master!

[@barber0611]

you know what we like!....diesel heater just adds to the authentic ambiance 😁

[@DeeFay-fl1hs]

LTVL and Norwegian Explorer back to back this evening - what a treat. Outstanding videos every time.

[@ericdanielson4177]

It's great to watch both of those inside a nice warm house!

[@homesteadandhighways]

Pro tip: when scraping food from your cutting board, turn the knife over to scrape with the blunt edge. This will save your blade!

[@lackofdubs5975]

Lightly brushing a knife over a block won't dull it as quick as most think.. you will have to sharpen it faster, but the difference is so minimal.

[@Krigarhund]

@@lackofdubs5975 Its not the only reason. You risk scraping of debris from the cutting board with a sharp edge as well.

[@GeordieAnarchy]

Chad, I love this channel!! Keep living it up! ✌️

[@SeattleSeaDragon]

I one 100% would be ready to ride along for this adventure. . Snow, winter, companionship. sounds absolutely amazing. . Hope you enjoyed your time in the snow.

[@YourAverageJim]

You have the most underrated van life channel ever I swear. You deserve more subs and views in my opinion. The way you film and edit is phenomenal. I’ve watched almost all of your videos and was immersed and entertained everytime. I don’t know if you will ever see this comment however, please don’t stop making these videos.

[@dillanghee4683]

Another fantastic video! Excellent photography, love your recipes and meal prep and cooking and eating! Always interesting facts and advice! The best!

[@wendywitzig119]

You made of steel! Not only takes the trash out in a blizzard but films it from multiple angles in that weather. That's Beastmode! Amazing as alaways.

[@dyates6380]

I love these videos. I've told many people about your channel and how wonderful and unique it is. Be safe and keep on enjoying life. We never know when we'll be called home.

Chad, its Time to do some eastern adventures, up thru , Indiana, Ohio, PA, NY and others states here out east and road trip up to Maine , so many beautiful areas out this way, love your videos, keep em coming!

[@pacificnorthwest9416]

Not really, the east coast is lame compared to the west 😎

[@lndscpe]

@@pacificnorthwest9416 I do love the west coast no doubt! But many areas out east and north, not just the east coast , offer something different and certainly beautiful in there own right :-)

Another great and inspiring episode. Thanks, Chad!

Another Great Video.

[@overlandbyrover]

I for one love the sound of the diesel heater. It's the sound of dominating winter. To me it's almost as pleasant as the sound of a camp fire. P.S. I'm going to try that recipe!

[@99959bill]

WOW! What a GREAT MEAL to cook in a van in a snow storm with 60mph wind and -4°F outside !!!!!! It don't get any better than this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DayZeroFWD]

Really enjoy your vanlife videos over all the others.....you live it, most others pose it.

[@MariaPNW]

I usually love watching your calming videos but this one I had to bail early. The ringing sound of your diesel heater, esp. around 09:15, or something in the background rips my eardrums and head apart. I still left you a thumbs up for the scenery though.

[@stkrrauch1]

at 21:50 /the flashlight shining on the trees looks amazing with you in the forefront

[@billyrichterrocks]

These videos get automatic like as soon as it starts playing. The content is better than anything I get anywhere else. I came here for the vanagen but the sprinter is finally starting to grow on me. I try hard to watch em as soon as I see they’re available. Keep it up. You are a huge inspiration for me and my winter adventures here in west Michigan.

[@OtterPup_]

I couldn’t agree more LTVL, the energy and power that comes with these winter fronts in Washington state is humbling! Thank you for the videos as always

[@leonmurphey3968]

I really do enjoy riding shotgun on your adventures, thank you for taking us along😊

[@doloresrodriguez6715]

Insta pots are great. You don't have to wait for hours for your meal. Good addition for your van.

Nice Van, insta pot, diesel heater, this is my kind of camping. No tent on a pile of snow for me

[@annkleindl3561]

Now thats a blizzard!!!! Nice!

[@CupRamen-j8o]

Thanks for sharing! I like watching your videos in the blizzards.

[@maureenclayton7401]

A lot of years ago now I drove a sprinter van, it was done out to accommodate our four children and two dogs. I loved it, my husband worked on the oil rigs so a lot of the time it was just me taking the kids all over.,the only thing I found was in the bad weather it didn’t hold as well on the roads as I would have liked.. yours is brilliant. I miss those years, however we have 8 grandkids now and we bought a holiday home instead, my health isn’t what it used to be but I still help out as much as I can. Love watching these videos., from England

Hey Chad. I've been watching your videos from before the pandemic. Your new van is magnificent. I envy you my friend. I really would like to live a van life myself, but I'm recovering from cardiac arrest. I have an internal Defibrillator that has to be monitored constantly. Just watching you in the van surrounded by a blizzard is remarkable. One question, have you ever been in a situation where some crazy person in the woods was stalking you? That's the one thing that worries me if I was on the road.

[@susannordstrom5065]

I love the cooking show, you were the first van lifer I ever watched, that was years ago
