Winter Camping In a Van - 2022 - Living The Van Life

[@brennanspark]

I’ve been missing videos like these. This is how I originally feel in love with your channel.

[@taraqru]

Yees not so attractive with sprinter

[@atcay81]

I couldn't have said it better Brennan 👍🚐 ❄️💯❤️🇦🇺

[@ftowords]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@angelotiu4784]

Sprinter is too fancy

[@Mij1965]

Agree. Nowadays it’s more like a hotel.

[@User-uq1pj]

We need more winter camping and cooking videos please Chad!

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

less cooking, more camping. This aint the food network.

[@T0nyD1986]

the main reason I subscribed was for the winter camping video's

[@KeganFergusonYT]

Agreed. Camping & cooking, I like both haha.

[@deanmartin9358]

yes please

[@DEDYPAMONAStudio]

👋👋👋👋

[@jessesager9460]

Pretty cool to see the Westfalia able to still go out and rock the van life! 🤘🏻

[@deanmartin9358]

yes it is i missed that van

[@11fireflower]

Agree 👍

[@flashlightmanila]

Welcome back OG Chad! We miss this type of camping, we missed the Westfalia.

[@Kaboombg]

Exactly my thoughts.

[@HelenBradley]

Yep

[@hereandthere4751]

Hippie Tank letss gooo

[@taikoyu4433]

Thanks

[@ruirodrigues9122]

Your winter camping videos are top tier. I know you love the West Coast sun but I hope you do more of these simple trips. Cinematography as always top notch.

[@anthonyfanchin1144]

It’s always nice to have a dog as company during your lonely travels like this.

[@justanotherchannel9815]

Love seeing the Westfalia back at it again with your winter camping videos!

[@puravidaviajando]

me too!!!

[@ΝΙΚΟΣΠαπαδόπουλου-θ7ζ]

The legendary van is back!! Snow, old van, beautiful scene's you make my day better 😙

[@tommymacias5434]

Relax you weirdo

[@lukas1255]

It's a blast from the past. It is exactly these types of videos that drew me to your channel! Your content is fantastic, its warming to watch, and inspiring! Nicely done, looking forward to many more!

[@EI6ISB]

SO happy to see the Westfalia back out again! Another incredible video Chad!

[@claramullen]

Wow Chad all I can say is you blew me away with the cinematography and to see the Westfalia again was a real treat.

[@Brie7362]

I’m addicted to your winter camping and cooking videos.

[@woodsandcreeks]

This is perfect. An episode like this will reset my mind for the week! I can't stop praising your work Chad. Everything in this video is perfect. This is like a slice of a person's life in a novel (like when you introduce a character). As always, I watch out for your choice of music to add to my list, and you never fail at that! Happy to see you with a lovely companion. A great addition to the channel.

[@aimzsalz2436]

Hey, its that time of the year when Chad becomes Santa n gifts us some amazing winter videos Thanx a lot Chad always✌

[@deanmartin9358]

just love his uploads

[@11fireflower]

@@deanmartin9358 same here. Xxx

[@ianhoughton3349]

Opening scene and you already know this is going to be epic, can’t beat winter episodes. One man his van and his dog some quality food and a whisky what else do you need in life

[@veerendraallayyanavar2327]

Exactly We all needed This kind of video.

[@Albreyjc]

The editing in this video is just on another level... you just keep getting better and better every upload and it shows, youre the best

[@TheRex566]

Oh Chad, what a wonderful video!!! What did I miss, the good old T3 in this breathtaking winter landscape. I'm thrilled, I'd love to see more of this again. Greetings from Germany.

[@mbrider56]

The original and still the best chad, Love the vanagon (she is the best) and your winter van life videos, best POV, left hand on steering wheel, radio crackling away in the background with a weather warning of snow and blizzard conditions ahead, man, that sets the scene perfectly...And then to show us as you travel upwards above the snow line and up to mount Baker is awesome and lovely that you had the family dog with you..❤ And as always, lovely food with you and a whiskey... Beautifully shot Chad. Thankyou.

[@Azsmodaen]

I have no words! Great music, great sceneries, great footage, Im speechless right now. I wish I could shake your hand and thank you for all this joy you are giving us, this is absolutely amazing...

[@johnchesworth4865]

Hey Chad, Great to see the Westfalia out again, especially in winter. Like the "style" of this video - well done. Stay safe and best wishes.

[@allandalangin3054]

Man this is awesome! I never thought I’d ever see the vanigan again. Honestly I enjoy these videos more than the new van series. I just go back to the old videos. This gives me the cozy feeling and tranquility. I hope you keep making more of this type.

[@zlatan_2197]

Not sure what I like the most about this, is it the return of Westfalia, return to classic camping and eating type of videos, new fury friend or cinematography, which is probably best ever on this channel, which says a lot because that segment is always top notch. Wonderful!

[@stevenhartman7657]

So glad to see the westfalia again!! This is amazing work! These are the trips I love to watch!!

[@patrwhtt]

There are times that your videography is better than being there because the beauty-focused shots are so on point. Thank you.

[@Wanderepicearth]

As much as I like your Sprinter but still the OG VW has it's own charm!!! Thank you for featuring it back again. GREAT video Chad

[@Roger_Ramjet]

It's got soul for sure

[@moretrash4you]

Scrolling in the comments trying to find out. Did he get rid of his sprinter?

[@PinchOfLuck]

The way you filmed those trees at the beginning in slow motion, evoked emotion from me. Amazingly well done. Not the technicality of it, you understand. The foresight and choice, was spot on. You truly are a master of your craft.

[@jorgg9514]

Perfect, the old van is back, much more pleasure. Please Chad, more of this great T3. This was it why I loved your channel. Please back to the roots.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Life evolves, grows and changes- Thanks for watching!

[@robertlebo4092]

The Vanagon still has stories to tell…..and the Driver?…..He Excels in creating cinematic Art!! A 30 minute adventure for us to enjoy, but hours upon hours upon hours for dozens and dozens of camera Set ups, then editing, adding music…..to set the vibe to the story he crafts. Outstanding Chad!!! More Vanagon and Pup please. The Sprinter will take you to the most remote reliably, but the Vanagon??? It has a “soul” that makes every outing an Adventure!!! 😊

[@jeffmorris739]

Old school! Yes, I love it . Good to see the old VW again and a new pup so cool. Very nice and thanks for bringing this style back.

[@panoramama]

Helll yeah Chad you made my wish come true !!!!! I’ve been asking you for this for a minute now, almost every other video I kept commenting you need to do a throw back and some people took it kind or personal but they don’t know the history of the westy. I really appreciate you my man. Keep on truckin

[@WildernessOffroad]

YES! I love the old van.. especially the winter vids with it. I currently run a Subaru for all my adventures on my channel. Hopefully one day I can upgrade to some sort of van and go full-time on KZbin! Just trying to grow my channel!

[@Gogugogugogu]

I didn't realise how much I miss mountains and snow until I saw this. Thank you!

[@simons5193]

The Westfalia is back!!! YEY!! This is what we like about your videos Chad. We missed the VW. There is something special about the Westfalia, it is so cozy and homey!!!!!

[@garyhulme3673]

Hey ya back. Nice to see the van still going strong and seeing your still using it. You said it would be staying with you and these videos inspired me to buy my own van and go off places. Nice to see you back chad and yes I do have a sticker of yours on my van in support.

[@tennesseeharley77]

I’m glad you brought back the VW. And love the puppy. Keep up the awesome work.

[@rickbrewster4760]

A simple day trip videoed exceptionally well. Thanks for sharing Chad.

[@engelsiebensieben]

Wintercamping like in the good old days. I follow you since years. Those trips are the reason why. Good work! Thx. Chad! Greetings from Germany!

[@ryanhaley4608]

Keep this style up. Helps take me away from my everyday life. Perfect, Chad.

[@HelenBradley]

This channel is why I now have a Westy. I fell in love with these beasts via your videos. So great to see the van back in action.

[@Vikings-uk3ht]

The winter camping goat is back! Can't wait for a few more of these this season! Some of my favorite vids on youtube.

[@MrNowstill]

I’m so glad you kept the puppy you have a hart of gold. I love all your videos and the music you include. You have an amazing talent.

[@bsellman6881]

Epic video Chad, reminds me of the old days when you did this, nothing has Soul like a Westfalia especially this one you've built, I would never sell that thing for nothing, lol! Just saying. Your cinematography and everything is on par with Nat Geo in my opinion, just outstanding man! I like how you keep it kind of like a high-end documentary, good background music not too much talking, the footage and the quality thereof with the arrangement tells the story and almost feel like I'm there.

[@arieswebb2136]

Great to see the Westie out for some fun in the snow..have fun and stay safe 😎

[@OzTrax4X4]

Ahh the good old days of LTVL. Good to see you delivered a special type of video for a legendary van. Love your work :)

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TheMightsparrow]

@@LivingTheVanLife Cheers for bringing the old lady out of retirement. I've missed her like crazy. Your new Rig may have all the bells & whistles but she'll always be my favourite. Don't ever sell her unless it's to Me!

[@MrJustintheman88]

Wow, Chad. One of my favorite videos of yours yet. All we have in life are moments in time. And I enjoyed the hell out of this moment. Asmr quality was through the roof too. Thanks as always for taking us along on your adventures. Cheers from Chicago brother!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks for the kind words! Cheers!

[@mattbelte1039]

Yes back to the good old days!!!

[@beverlyaslett7871]

I love the old van. So many memories. The sound quality on this vlog is next level. The music chosen, the food sizzling. I ate every bite with you lol. There is something utterly beautiful with the first snows of winter glazing the mountains. Thanks Chad for keeping your word and bringing us the old van. The whole video was relaxing.

[@khalqodi5914]

Soooò do iììiììiì

[@KingIstvan]

Amazing work Lola and Chad! Absolutely magical.

[@missymutt3046]

[@ItsNeon9]

Here we go! Love your content

[@valgojcickralj8761]

Nice being back after months of nothing really watching and just seeing nothing has changed except a new cute addition to the channel, he looks happy and very cute. Got a say am I going through a rough time in my life and just love that i can chill and watch an amazing video like yours so thank you from a bottom of my heart.

[@wendywitzig119]

So inspiring, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

[@AmmarBiker]

Wow this video is just wonderful. Please make more like this. Fan from Pakistan

[@OverlandUncharted]

Quality of the new drone footage is sick!

[@jmarkd59]

Nobody does it better. The videography, artistry and creativity!

[@davidquos]

It's so nostalgic to see the Warrior VW Westfalia. It brings me many memories from your first videos, and I am glad to see that VW is still running perfectly with that cozy and homey vibe. By the way, what is the puppy name?

[@sports715]

This was amazing! Chad, brings me back to the OG videos from last years. True story telling and without any talking.

[@papamarkw]

Your videography sets you apart from other creators. Bravo

[@deerwoodretreat]

I don't know how, but your cinematography is better than ever. Simply a beautiful work of art, this video. Bravo!

[@meteorologicalscience5591]

Finally Volkswagen westfellia is back

[@seona6549]

What a beautiful, peaceful and calming video ❤, Trucker is so cute 🥰, I'm still blown away by the drone footage! Just AMAZING cinematography!

[@mikehewitt5137]

Your videos are in a different level. I can watch them all day long. Perfect shots and it's like it was made by a professional director. God bless you my friend.

[@dondelmar9140]

The one and only chad nothing that compares you when it comes to van life and your cinematography was amazing.

[@josecanto9218]

Well, looks like the overwhelming consensus here is that a vast majority of your followers (including me) love having you bring back the old and trusty Westy back for a reprise. That's what brought us here to your channel in the first place, driving a simple Swiss army knife vehicle to remote and beautiful places throughout the PNW camping and living the van life most of us can only dream of part time. I too have owned a twin blue 91 Westy Camper since 2007 and live vicariously through you with your vids.Hope you include more of your future videos with the VW mixed in with your awesome Sprinter you have as well. Safe travels and keep up the great work!!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks, Jose! For local trips it's great to bust out the Vanagon and take her for a cruise. Glad you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching! Keep on truck'n!

[@Brokmod]

Yes, finally back to the roots!!!!! Awesomness at it's finest!

[@alexahbeedeedraalexa8963]

Loved it… no talking except to puppy. Excellent….With no words we could feel the whole atmosphere..

[@AutoDudes]

Good old camping, cooking and vanagon video. Still can’t believe the amount of work that goes into these videos. Mad love man.

[@bladerunner20883]

2:17 to 2:46 is pure majestry. Like the joy of sitting in the shade of a tree in the late afternoon. Chad, please share the music with us too…

[@karenrogers7830]

So glad to see the dog with boots and a warm coat too. You take care of your buddy well.

[@doughboi007]

Seriously, the production value is just so darn good!

[@stevehori673]

Chad I love your dog! He’s so chill. Winter camping got me hooked on your channel, I still watch the Grand Tetons photo shoot.

[@laurawright-king5046]

I have missed the winter camping videos for a LONG TIME!!! Your camping companion is adorable. The Westfalia is in the HOUSE!!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!

[@neilfitzpatrick283]

I can only agree with all the comments on this thread, great to see the original setup and winter camping video format, unbeatable video content, thanks so much for creating this and bringing back what almost seems like nostalgia! best wished from the UK

OG vibes with this video. The old van, camping and cooking. A masterpiece!

I started watching at you when you were still driving the old vanagon through desserts and snows, now that this little vw is back, i cannot be happier!

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Yeeees!! Finally!! This is the video I've been missing!! This is why I subscribed in the very beginning chad. Back to the basic camping just you and nature. Great content. Looking forward to more of these Thanks

[@pietvx532]

Your videos are missing something for like a year now. It's alway driving, seeing nature, then doing a fire and cooking, all outside. I miss the time when you did shoots inside the van, you rarely do these anymore, this was my favourite part, it makes you feel comfy, beings inside the fans while it's cold and full of snow outside, making the food inside the van is also great. Pls bring these back.

[@joannwolf127]

Great to see the westie! Looks like an amazing adventure.

[@URBANTRAVELLER7]

Westfalia welcome back.. this van hold a special place in my heart
