Chad I really like your work . Congratulations on your new home. Please be thankful as many people are not fortune enough to build their home like you. Love you from India. Keep it up. Respect to the highest level.

[@slyflea]

Here’s one link to the foraging for firewood concern: www.blm.gov/programs/natural-resources/forests-and-woodlands/forest-product-permits Each of us have an obligation to “know before you go” when it comes to adventuring outdoors. Actually, that probably applies to just about anything one decides to do. In my view, expecting someone else to warn us of all the possibilities associated with adventuring is unreasonable. Chad, thanks for always creating interesting content relevant to the interests of so many. “Keep on Truckin’” the way you do.

The sharp THWACK of the ax..the sound of you chopping vegetables on the cutting board..the crackling sounds of the fire and the sizzling of the meat....and then my favorite part..when you just stick out the name brand of the ingredients..you won't say anything just jam it right out there so that we can all see what name brand you are using.. keep up the great work...glad you finished up the sprinter.

Do it while you can. No one is young forever, no matter how much we try and fool ourselves. I am 68 now, been doing a lot of two and three week trips for about 3 years now. I am currently laid up after ankle surgery. My sixth one now. Things break, wear out, and just quit working.The time will come when I will be forced to stop altogether, I realize that time is running out now, and I am wanting to see so much more.

[@chrissalvatierra5088]

The van, the winch, I expected that but the new table? Cool! 😁

Just commenting to say this is a bad ass channel. And that it's a treat to see new videos get posted.

[@lcsaldana8712]

It is clear that a lot of thought and planning went into building your new off-road vehicle. I didn't know it was going to be this awesome, especially as it was able to "wench" those huge boulders. Love this channel, Great job!!

Throw a blanket over your winch cable, it can save you from a trip to the hospital or some damage to your vehicle, especially when you’re working with something as unwieldy as a huge rock. As always love the videos as well as the new ride.

Hey Chad.. I never comment on videos, and this is the first comment I think I've ever left. Your videos have shown me a side of life that I often forget. I'm caught up in the hectic life of day-to-day, with job, kids, and everything. These videos make me remember how important the simple things in life are, and how to appreciate them again. Everything you do is basic, from living, cooking, keeping warm and enjoying nature. These are things I can appreciate, and it gives me a well needed break from the fast pace of life I'm normally experiencing. Thank you for this gift.
