Winter Storm In The Mountains - Living The Van Life

[@tuftedoge7262]

Didn't expect to be greeted by Chad drifting the sprinter, but I'm all for it!

[@michaelmanese2228]

Me either‼️😮

[@irishdefense77]

Fun to watch,but God forbid you lost it and wrecked the Van-no more home..

[@faceup9257]

Didn't expect to prepare food in an air fryer after lighting up a camp fire over a griller. 😂 No hard feelings... just enjoyed the hard turn 😅

[@thomasquigley7040]

Send it!!!

[@sydneycbr]

Would have been better if he had flipped it and wrecked it.

[@judyeuller7602]

Thank God there are people like you that I can live through vicariously. 😊 I'm 82 and too old and too timid to do what you do. So, thank you.

[@eddielittle1644]

I'm 76, Ditto

[@darkprose]

Judy, I’m in my 40s, but I’m right there with you, everything you said.

[@devjyoti1987]

Maam for me you also an inspiration. My age is 37... But i want to enjoy out of stress

[@Rick-i3j9o]

I'm 56 but I enjoy watching as well whilst under the blankets all cozy n warm. 😅

[@cobraspottedwolf8791]

Winter camping is how I found you years ago and I still love these videos!

[@johnnySMALLpepper]

SAME BUD

[@magneto9555]

First time I’ve seen someone drifting their whole crib 😂 respect ✊

[@marusholilac]

I'm in Virginia. This is February 2024. The only way I have to enjoy winter is via KZbin, so thanks. We haven't had winter for 8 years.

[@hiddenleafshinobi2608]

In east Tennessee, we got 13 inches dropped on us overnight. Count your blessings lol

[@micheleparker3965]

I'm in VA also. No winter at all 😢😢😢

[@shaneabulg6746]

Fredericksburg VA here, boring winter so far

[@shaneabulg6746]

In VA also no weather

[@shaneabulg6746]

Southern VA

[@shaneabulg6746]

Always makes the day better when a new LTVL with Chad drops mental comfort, been subscribed for a long time never disappoints

[@smartclock727]

Thanks for another vid. I seriously think this is the best quality channel in existence

[@goldfinger180024]

I never cease to be amazed at what that van can do and what you can do with it Chad.

[@bertiefox4346]

Bloody hell 😳 look at that Sprinter Van drifting 😂

[@capichow]

😂

[@bizzybee019]

More love. From kenya...youtube.com/@bizzybee019?si=wfdRpDpew87yewYC

[@jackkinser7215]

could not be more comforting safe and warm in a snow storm!

[@CaroleFrenchFox]

Will never get tired of the beautiful winter landscapes of the Pacific North, Chad films and shares with us. ❤

[@edwardlattimer3238]

Serious question: When you're up in the mountains, have you ever witnessed anything strange as in wildlife and airiel phenomenon, you're doing something most people don't have the courage to do, I have to say you have inspired me to get out in the countryside of my home near Scotland in the UK, cheers for that 👍

[@claudemartin5264]

Your channel just makes me love life...thankyou so much Chad.

[@knekia75]

Tip: you can save yourself time & hassle… invest in Air fryer liners or use parchment paper. It’s easy, and doesn’t leave stuck food or crumbs. Simply throw it away, when you’re done. No cleaning… especially when cooking meats!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Love this idea. Thanks for sharing!

[@lilyLily1824]

Good call! I use those lot ez clean up!

[@mohammadsohaibiqbal3055]

Drifting the sprinter??!! 😂😂😂 that was the most unexpected and awesome intro. I spat my Dr. Pepper out, I'm weak laughing 😂😂

[@racebanning6390]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🏁🏁🏁🏁Truth!!!

[@lda7473]

Glad you discovered the joys in air fryer...It is so convenient, fast & easy to clean. Much appreciate your shared journey in these adventures. Stay safe,specially on those icy roads.

[@littlebryan2367]

That intro was wild 😂🤩 love it

[@Jeditilt]

That last shot of your setup of the front of the van in the dark was sweet! Good stuff!

[@tommanning7337]

The air fryer is the only way I make wings now, I’m hooked!!!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻

[@AndyXyloto]

What a nice winter wonderland. I’m a little bit jealous about the road conditions with the snow and the opportunity for drifting. Thanks for the video 🙏 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@jamesoldman3021]

As a person that has lived all his life where we get snow every winter I loved seeing you doing your drifts. It's a shame that some may criticise you for doing it. The main thing is when you hit that icy corner you will know how to control the vehicle. Just turned 84 and have to say my memory cells are not good enough to remember how many thousands of vehicles over the years I have seen hit the snowbank because they did not know how to steer out of it. Don't know how I missed this one. Thanks for all your videos.

[@elyas-tavakkoli]

DRIFTING with such big car on ice -- I was blown away for few seconds 😅😅😅 I love this Guy -- saying hello from an old follower before sprinter joined us ❤❤❤

[@nataliehirstflores4376]

You push and test the boundaries in all you do! Awesome! ❤

[@RyanHimenes]

This is the best one brother !!! The ending was actually incredible also.

[@suezaple4950]

Phenomenal scenery through the mountainous area the pines were so heavy with snow but gorgeous. as always tasty food , Thanks for bringing us with you .

[@LifeWithLeMaige]

Chad, u always make splitting wood look so gosh darn easy!

[@ZekeCao]

I have this exact grill I picked up from Walmart during one of our road trips down to California from Oregon and it was the only portable one available during 4th of July. It's lasted me multiple times the last 2 years. I'm really impressed.

[@MattHalpain]

Even though I'm 9 months late to view this video, I am grateful you have roots and memories in the WA Cascade Mountains as I am a Washingtonian by birth.

[@heidia6270]

Your reaction to the air fryer is funny. I love mine too! Love your videos as always Chad. Beautiful landscaping and your editing is amazing. The little firepit, aka grill, worked out great!!

[@langley1400]

When I saw you lay the bread down, I thought okay were having avocado toast. BUT the mayo comes out and I was like WHAT is Chad having a regular sandwich) 😳👏👏👏🤣🤣 it looked great! Enjoyed the video, beautiful views!

[@jrraven3230]

I ❤ how you like the older tv/ movies ...... me too😊 still rewatching the Little House series 😊

[@bigdaddysnaynay]

I just like to say I like watching your content like this. I would love to do what your doing. I must say the Ariel drone shot are absolutely stunning the white capped trees and the cabin was picture perfect. Take care and keep warm

[@melissalane-q7m]

Stunningly beautiful snow scenes! Will have to watch again and again - so gorgeous! Loved the cooking segment! Great video! Crazy snow driving!

[@raresubstance]

I’ve watched this a few times. Keep coming back too it 😊

[@dylantroy]

Awesome new to your channel take care and be safe Chad

[@princessanniepio9833]

Shookt by the drifting intro😳

[@toisummergracehaynes8401]

Salute Chad, Thank You for sharing this Beautiful Winter Mountain Journey. I am sipping on Hot Chocolate enjoying the scenery its a cozy vibe... ☃️❄️🌨☃️❄️🌨☃️❄️

[@BulldogMedia2025]

Man I love a turkey Mayo and Pickle Sandwich..You made me hungry!!..Man I absolutely love your videos they are amazing & I appreciate you sharing your journey with us!!

[@SK-vk7gv]

This video reminds me of Chad's older videos where he used to cook on his dutch oven.

[@user-pr9pq8en2d]

I was gonna say that.

[@ChristopherHarris6005]

Awesome video as always Chad. This video has OG vanagon vibes when you drifted the Sprinter Van coming along side of it I feel like I could see the vanagon drifting beside it this video really has OG vanagon vibes all over it from the drive up to the campfire to the delicious meal the spirit of the OG vanagon is right there along for the adventure. Thanks for letting us ride along with you on your epic adventures.

[@lilyLily1824]

Spokane, WA here, I absolutely love the snow! I actually live north west of Spokane. Here we have our own micro climate and we get a lot more snow than Spokane. I can’t wait to get my van! I live in a barn, in the country, I have 5 acres so it is so magical when I wake up in my yard and forest is covered like marshmallows. I’m like a little kid! Time to get out the blower and blow my 350’ driveway or wez aren’t going anywhere! My 165# Pyrenees is laying in the snow until you can’t see her. She does not care. She loves it. I came east from the Olympic Penn. not a regret! Love it here! Enjoy your channel so much. I was happy to see you on Nikki/Campers Channel. So fun. Enjoy. Be safe! ❄️🌨️ Hope to get to Alaska too. Loved those videos. Your film making is so enjoyable! Be good!

[@TheTexasDuke]

Subbed for the drifting

[@johnkennedy3867]

Something so calming and peaceful about watching a good fire

[@abucklife]

The og winter van life creator 👌

[@mitzioden4926]

Interesting adventure! You're a brave soul venturing out in those storms. Your cooking looked good as well.

[@davidandrews8963]

IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THE VAN AND ALL THE MOD CONS IVE DONE THIS IN NORWAY IN A TENT ⛺ AND THAT WAS AN EXPERIENCE AND SOME 🤘♥️🌎

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Cool video chad I miss the old van sometimes I must admit

[@4803heights]

So glad I found your channel. You are probably the coolest guy I've ever met on KZbin, learning alot.

[@ulfbrommelhorster1490]

Really great. A winter storm warning for the pacific nothwest and the conclusion is… go for it !

[@Rev1Kev]

Just like the old days of drifting the Vanagon up the mountain

[@ramblingrosie3762]

Buy some air fryer basket liners, cuts down your washing up. Just use and throw away. ❤❤❤❤

[@flysky6248]

I am always happy to see Chad is happy.

[@MrReese]

These are the videos I watch when I am curled up in bed at night :). Blade Runner is the perfect movie to fall asleep to - it even makes me fall asleep when I am not tired 😄.

[@LeahWriter]

Great idea for a campfire. Going to do that with my bbq. Thanks!

[@akshitkaundal8459]

Chad u know one thing just go to the best places and cook with all your heart that’s what the main reason people love to watch you u will be at the top in youtube if u do this

[@MrOccyc]

Thank you for taking us on your adventure.

[@donerickson7155]

I like the firewood bag. Good idea

[@mathewwahl8592]

Lets talk about that bad Ass knife. You beat the crap out of it

[@juditate111]

First time viewer. Very much enjoyed this video and will be watching the ones you have already done and looking forward to seeing new ones. You have me hooked. Stay safe and warm.

[@bradrook3919]

This my home... foothills of Mt. Rainier. I too lived in SW Utah for the past two years in the desert. I came back home this year and am looking forward to snow showing into the range this coming winter to hot tent camp...I love it! Great to be back home...for those that haven't tried this you cannot find a quieter or more peaceful place.. especially if it's snowing...nice vid.!

[@User-uq1pj]

Now this is the Living the van life content I signed up for that long time ago!

[@wt9653]

Saw you backing the van through deep snow next to the rock wall. The next scene when you got out. The deep snow has been plowed and flat. 😮 magic. 😂

[@chrisaaron7994]

Great videos as always. I sense the peace and serenity. God bless you

[@FBIbeats]

Beat start to a video ever! Loved this! ❤❤

[@733van]

Sending love from Armenia, great drifting, by the way 🔥

[@3802er]

100% that drift intro should be the start to all your videos from now on!

[@monac9459]

I was truly blessed to take an assignment on Whidbey from April to December a few years ago and I was doubly blessed to get to explore every thing from Mt Hood to Mt Baker to the coast. I have driven that road that Chad has driven, Ive stood where he is camped and Im telling you right now I feel it is one of the most beautiful place in our country. The PNW is a nature lovers paradise. Now here I am in Idaho on assignment and its snowing right now so a grilled cheese with turkey on sourdough sounds just about right for lunch today....however I wont be drifting like chads inner teenager did.....🥰

[@wayne1516]

These videos are amazing. Stay safe out there and thanks for sharing this journey! These are places I never realistically have a chance to go and you allow us to live through it. Truly beautiful footage.

[@billymurphy7207]

that sprinter drift got you a subscriber lol

[@stephy_spacesout]

Drifting a sprinter is really a way tl catch someones attention 😂. Great video ❤

[@TheSmallsRVAdventures]

Great video Chad

[@ratroddiesels1981]

i like the cooking parts ,that air fryer is cool.i like your screen with blade runner ,and your dashboard computer weather graphics , that blanket looked warm .

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

Now this is the classic LTVL content that I originally subbed for. So glad to see another video like this. Feel like you havent posted one since I first subbed to you a couple years ago

[@BionicLesbian]

I freaking love love love brussel sprouts 💚🥬

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

Myyyyyyyyyyyy LORD. What an unbelievable channel!! I was without a doubt, Hooked in the heart!! within the first 4 minutes!!! You betcha, I joined this channel!!

[@darkprose]

When it’s the first time watching a channel, I usually give it five to ten minutes. This video was so beautiful and interesting, the half hour _felt_ like five minutes. The drone shots reminded me of _The Shining._ What else can I say?

[@آآهذريبك]

Have a nice day love u bro follow u from Middle East in iraq 🇮🇶 ♥️ 🇺🇸

[@twistedavalanche737]

Chad I really love watching your videos great content and very informative and fun to watch I have been watching your videos since you started your channel keep up the great work and be safe brother

[@hiddenleafshinobi2608]

That intro was badass. Good shit man.

[@nancyschad2969]

Oh my goodness! Absolutely loved the winter snow landscape footage! How was Death Valley? I visited US National Parks in 2023 and had hope to visit there, but the park was closed due to storm damage. Blade Runner ---loved, loved and loved that movie.

[@DLeadVox]

At first. I thought i was watching another video from "Traveler's Tale" the way you were drifting around corners and sliding all over the place! I was having a small heart attack! Anyway, I loved this video. I dont have a lot of money and theres no way on earth i'll ever be able to afford "camping". Camping used to be very inexpensive 50 years ago. Now, you have to have a 6 figure salary to afford it! Its nice that a 14.00 BBQ and a 30.00 air fryer wont break the bank and can still bring joy and convenience to camping. Have you received any awards yet for your videos? They are amazing. 💛💛💛 DD☮️

[@Cavgirlgypsy61]

I just purchased an air fryer for my mini van life! Thanks for giving me some ideas of quick meals!

[@piyushbais6880]

That drift was awesome... Love from India ( Bharat )🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@bobbank74]

Blade runner......one of my most favourite films. Great choice Chad. And another great video, especially drifting the sprinter van 😂😂😂

[@barrygould8034]

Wrong version though… had the voiceover!

[@user-cw7fq1pf9h]

This area looks close to what you showed wayback with the vw I’ve enjoyed your videos over the years

[@48rimu]

Loved that drifting!!😂

[@EthanCasner]

"I've made it up to the... noots... ack river valley..." What i hear is you've made it up to "The Nutsack River Valley" XD Fellow solo van-lifer (though i'm in an LMTV and not a Mercedes) and I will never not give your videos a thumbs up because you are, in fact, doing solid work for all of us as a people.

[@sandellan]

yesssss!! a winter video again!!! fantastic! with the foods!

[@MarcusAurileus]

Amazing scenery...birdering apocalyptic...amazing storm. This wouid have been so awesome. AWESONE choice in movies too.

[@YosemiteJ]

Seeing Chad use the mini walmart charcoal grill that I've bought so many times over the years for the same reason brings me laughter and joy lol Then seeing you use an air fryer, I'm over the moon! Dude, I hope you start doing air fryer meals! Welcome to #AirFryerNation

[@David-ce7hg]

Keep up the great work

[@soulstarmusiclover1254]

This was another amazing video, the ariel footage the fire on a thick white blanket of snow. The simple delicious meal all looked so comfy and cozy. Thank you Chad🙏🏻❤️✨

[@weid1888]

There slides on the van were awesome!!!

[@mikedelacruz3135]

🔥🔥🔥 episode Chad! Hey I was late to the game on air fryers, but when my oldest son (27) bought 1 for the house I quickly came to realize what all the hype was about. I moved back to Central Cali, but for my teenage years I lived around the Bellingham area. Places like Lynden where I went to high school, Everson, and even close to Lummi Island by the beach. I do miss the PNW, and how us Teenagers used to take trips up to MT Baker ski resort. Seeing the stellar cinematography in this episode was like a homecoming for me. I appreciate it Brother, all the work you put into making every episode. Please keep bringing the awesome content, Peace Out..Keep on truckin my guy…Cheers from California 🍻👊🏼😎🤙🏼

[@BayouBro]

Drifting the sprinter crazy, but cool as hell. 👍🏻

[@Alison-s9s]

My air fryer is also tiny but is fantastic. Airial views of everything covered in snow is just beautiful 😊

[@karolynfrench8098]

Love a beautiful Winter. Great video. Makes me want to hit the road.

[@X22662]

Big fan From India 🇮🇳😊

[@brewsterkits]

nice one Chad, love the deep snow, we can only dream about!!

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Loved the drifting in the Sprinter! Blade Runner, a classic. Just about anything done by Ridley Scott is worth a watch. Awesome cinematography, and a soundtrack by one of my favourite composers, Vangelis. I can see the influence with your work.
