Dear Chad, After a day long struggle with harsh reality of life, your videos are perfect bed time fairy tale for a grown-up like me. Thanks for these. If ever I get a chance in life I would like to go camping with you in those silent snow capped mountains bro. God bless you with great health and peace of mind .. Love.

Chad, I think that this might be your best intro sequence ever... was trying to explain to my wife just how much work goes into collecting all that footage and then all the editing that comes after. Great effort and greatly appreciated you are definitely a workaholic!

Keep well and thanks for your commitment to your art!

I'm so glad to see you eating Korean army stew. We call 부대찌개 in Korean. You would need some rice because it's little salty. :) I've been a depressive mode these days due to Corona19 prevailing in our country. However, your videos make me relaxing and feeling good. Thank you so much!

You need to invest in a snow shovel and put the tea bag in the cup while the water boils, it enhances the flavour.

Nothing would cheer me up more during all this madness than a new LTVL video. Hope u and ur family are healthy and doing well, Chad.

It's funny I watch survival and Bushcraft videos because of the content and I'm an avid outdoorsmen, but I always notice most videos share the same- light on the talking heavy on the footsteps in snow and sounds of cooking over a campfire- vibe 😂. I guess they all realized it's really relaxing lol, also sort of hard to talk when your building a shelter or making dinner over a fire on a mountain

@@sarahharris5151 Google darling Google lol, but basically the sensation of detailed and satisfying sounds and the pleasant sensation of relaxation, euphoria etc that gives some ppl... Such as someone silently walking through snow in snow boots in high sound quality

Hi Chad, Enjoyed your winter camping Van life. We lived in BC for 35 years and have been to Mount Baker, Wenatchee & the beautiful german town of Leavenworth in Washington. We had an 88 VW Westfalia and truly the best camper van...only is the original vw boxer engine lacks power and unreliable. Do you have a van conversion engine on your syncro or is yours stock vw engine? We sold our Westfalia when we moved to Toronto. Watching you reminds us of our memorable camping days. Take care and keep on camping. Live your videos. Gerry

Awesome video, buddy. I had the 부대 찌게 when I was stationed in Korea. I only had it once but Delicious. There were too many other delicious Korean dishes to try. One of my favorite Korean stew is 된장찌개 Soy Bean paste stew with Dubu (Korean Tofu). Koreans put generous amount of garlic, onions, and they can be served with Korean Galbi (Ribs) or Bulgogi (Firemeat - Grilled Korean barbecue beef). Top it off with Kimchi, of course. I also like kimchi stew. All great hearty meals especially in the cold winter.
