He’s still with us. He is alive!

[@liedebunker1253]

😂

[@jrraven3230]

He's pretty resilient 😉 But yes I am also glad he is still breathing 😉

[@theonly1film]

i agree yes he is

[@billybrewer1342]

Glad to see you back brother. I understand you get tired of doing the same thing but don’t think for a minute that those of us couped up at home only with a few weeks vacation get tired of watching it! I love the motorcycles just as much as the van so it’s a win/win for me! Keep on rocking man

[@PrezenceMusic33]

Chad is what most men wish they were. Multitalented, competent, resilient, independent, humble, at peace with himself. Much respect to you bro.

[@PrezenceMusic33]

should add disciplined... that opening clip of you getting that first shot. most people have no idea what goes into the amount of work it takes to create something like this

[@jackiel.8025]

And women wished too.

[@KruxLabs]

Chad, most film makers don’t produce that quality of film in a lifetime. Truly worth the wait!!!! Cheers to another banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LivingTheVanLife]

I very much appreciate your kind words! Cheers!

[@thehemiolds455]

Who needs Discovery channel,when we got chad channel the greatest.👌🇺🇸

[@OurRamblinVan]

EPIC....I don't know any other words that can describe your adventures better than EPIC. Great seeing you getting back to your roots while combining it with Van Life...Thanks Chad for all of the inspiration to get out there!

[@cloondaver6202]

There are moto vloggers out there who have been doing this for many year, you've blown them out of the water with your first video, tremendous work, top man Chad, enjoyed every minute

[@frankiez7414]

if viewers have never listened to this through a good sound system, you won't appreciate Chads sound work and quality and choice of music. Also if you haven't watched it in 4k you will miss out on a lot of a pro film makers work. The detail is awesome

[@IngoLang-eo3ux]

I am a motorcycle mechanic from Germany. I follow your channel since years and I rode enduro competition for more than 15 years, so I am very happy to see you on a husky. 😊

[@sumitkulhari...3376]

Who wants a winter cozy camping video... let's vote😅

[@MikeWiseman-u9c]

Absolutely mate. These are cool but the winter storm vids are epic

[@LexTheBuilder]

I have been waiting for a new camping and cooking video for a long time lol

[@Roberta_Esposito]

no bike tho❄️❄️❄️

[@lyns618]

Me for sure!!

[@songbird5746]

I do!!!

[@c.p379]

The cinematic is CRAZY, THIS VIDEO IS INSPIRING LOVE THE NEW CONTENT

[@teedawg2112]

This is some of the best cinematography and music editing on YT and let’s consider it was shot on the back of a bike! Absolutely amazing 👏

[@missionmallory]

One of the best you’ve done since the older winter westfalia films. Feels like your heart is in it

[@thangray531]

I wish I could quit you, Chad! No I don’t. I love your videos and waiting to see what you’re up to makes what you share more valuable. Keep on keepin’ on, m’man.

[@theoff-gridchurch8272]

Your dad would be proud of the man you’ve become! Awesome to see those pics you shared with us all of your family traveling the “true grit” way. Right on brother!

[@MotoSafariAdventures]

This is a big surprise to see this amigo on a bike... hope to see more bike content...

[@francisa751]

That's never too long for your next video because the wait is truly worthwhile. Thanks for your effort in disclose to many of us these hidden places.

[@mardelplatalimousines3423]

The production value of this guys videos are as good as any documentary I’ve seen, dare I say even better. Absolute joy to watch the adventure. King regards from Catalonia!

[@TedDufresne]

Hey Chad, welcome back !! Hope you're having fun on two or four wheels. Don't get bogged down overthinking us subscribers and what we want to see. What I really enjoy is outdoors and some adventure...and your eye with the camera. Post whatever and whenever you like, you might be surprised by what we'll soak up. The new bike is a beauty. Keep on getting out there ! 👍

[@imgml]

First one here from Oxnard, CA. Saw the notification and clicked automatically. What's up Chad. Always Enjoy the content.

[@StephenParentJR]

I love your VL videos. They inspired me to get out, get a van, and adventure. That being said, this was awesome new content. I loved it. Keep doing great work, Chad.

[@Ondrej-C]

Absolutely amazing, unique and perfect moto video. Absolutely the best moto video on KZbin. The best you have ever seen. I appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart for everyone.

[@denahom]

Chad is the Man! Now something amazing to watch on my new TV. Thank you! 🙏 ❤

[@hounslowparks2469]

Nice to see you switch it up.

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Nice adventure video! Beautiful scenery and landscapes are a nice cross section of what is out there.

[@JVS-NYC]

Chad is back and has reinvented himself. Looking forward to his next adventure with the challenges of his 2 wheeler! 💯🔥

[@theadventuresofcheese]

Been following for about 10 years now and this is one of my favorite adventures. Your Series on going into the Arctic has been added to my bucket list as well.

[@frankiez7414]

After wondering where you’d gone Chad and watching all of the videos of the only other favourite of mine, AB Camping , I was thinking that was it. Where’s Chad ? But here he is riding into shot like a white stallion to save the day. Loved the video and a very unexpected surprise. Thank you again Chad and rest assured even though you might find it a bit tedious you have a great job and your films are second to none.

[@trevorrandall6989]

Thanks Chad, I enjoyed that. I'm not as young and mobile as I once was and riding motorcycles and hiking is off the table. Coming along with you on these adventures is the next best thing. Appreciate the effort you put in. Oh, and thanks a million for rescuing that scrappy dog. Bless you.

[@suezaple4950]

Epic country and area Chad can not blame you for wanting to challenge yourself and bringing those memories back , I myself have fond childhood memories of camping crown land , fishing, I still do. That looked like a nerve racking pass in the mountains those cliffs were nasty, views awesome. & Yes they mined in the mountains of Colorado in the winter they faced challenges of freezing temps frozen ground and so on. Thanks Chad interesting adventure , spectacular views and artifacts of the past....

[@HANNAH-zs4tm]

CHAD CHAD YOU'RE GOING AROUND THAT STEEP HILL, THANK GOODNESS YOU MADE IT!!!😢💪🥰

[@theonly1film]

so glad to see you back chad thanks for sharing

[@YosemiteJ]

There's something about your videos that's so comforting. Your style, your authenticity, your passion. In this genre, your are the one Chad. As an ATV rider, I was juiced to see you trail riding and definitely ok if your make this pivot. I rather have fewer of your amazing videos and the passion you put into them compared to doing video just for content. Cheers for brining us along on this journey. I thoroughly enjoyed it. my only complaint was I wish it was longer.

[@edichka911]

Usually, I don't comment videos on KZbin, but quality of your videos is unbelievable! Huge amount of work behind these nice shots. Amazing! Subscribed!!!

[@frankiez7414]

Yeah I’m watching it on my phone and will rewatch on a big screen with stereo to really appreciate the quality

[@MAXimum2Rad]

Amazing... The Mix of motorcycle and van life is perfect. Please make more of this videos. Greetings from Germany

[@janelbrady5342]

Chad! Glad you’re seeking new adventures for all of us viewers. Yay. 😀 that ride was incredible and thank you for taking us along. 🏍 🏕 ✌

[@ExploringWithTheBz]

Thank you for sharing your story with us Chad. Many of us never get a chance to chase our dreams. Life, especially here in the US, is filled with distractions, false promises, and just trying to survive. Watching your films gives me hope that one day, I can finally chase those dreams myself.

[@nickdoornbosch]

Nice change of content Chad! I notice how your vibe has changed, you're noticeably excited about what comes next! Looking forward to it! Safe travels!

[@johnsimpson8198]

I for one dont care what your filming,just as long as your filming,it's all fabulous,so as long as your doing what you do,I'm happy! P. S. Love what you do!

[@nachosguacamole8600]

welcome back chad.. what a great adventure you had. gotta say, that initial conversation... thanks for sharing something so personal. you looked so at peace talking about that... thanks for taking us into places that most of us will never ever see.. such beautiful scenery. looking forward to more adventures. and.. loving the 1st person POV and those tight drones.

[@Bjpangit4706]

Either in the Van or motor bike camping both were never boring, you still awesome of what you do and wherever time takes you

[@angelosenteio]

I had a feeling you were growing tired of the van content. I couldn’t be more stoked that your adding Moto’s to the Vlog. I built a van to go into the backcountry but that was a compromise to the motorcycle that I’ve been dreaming about. It’s time to sell my road bike and hit the dirt LTVL style. Cheers!

[@johnleblanc5663]

So happy that you put this video out! I miss your adventures, it gives me a sort of escapism from my cancer treatments to see such beauty from the comfort of my chair. I really appreciate it. Thank you, Chad!

[@pollatso]

Great content thank you especially the filling the shower where you get the perspective of where you are 🙏👍👍🇬🇧

[@georgecorreia5314]

I think your a very talented person with a lot of passion thank you for the video go kick some ass on your bike thanks again

[@doriskarnila2906]

There were moments that took my breath away....incredibly, stupendously, awesome.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheDannyAbe]

This is the reason why I'm subscribed to your channel Chad. It's a God's blessing for your effort in creating adventures in these videos. Your two wheels of living the van Life is definitely over the top, well done production. Thank you for the inspiration. btw...next time you adventure back to Okanagan BC, stop in vernon for a break and gimme a shout

[@KaykiddE]

Your videos are never boring. Such phenomenal work you do. One day I would love to do what you do. Thank you for all the wonderful hard work.

[@AndyXyloto]

No words needed 😳 Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@karelesterhuizen7117]

Stunning, stunning, you know when a dude can ride a bike, when he stands, that Husk sound and gearing with springs, super.

[@armymedic0001]

Congratulations on your new endeavor. I believe you have come full circle to the original and real passion in your heart. Glad you took the time off to figure out your new path. Im an avid motorcycle camper. It have change my life by finding peace and true freedom. Its good to see you again.

[@susang994]

Loving the varied content. This one was truly unbelievable. Thanks for taking us on a really unique adventure, Chad!

[@Ashleyjohnson397]

Amazing video Chad! Thank you for sharing about your family & Dad again! ❤️❤️

[@kyleybarra1830]

Some heavy emotion in this one. I know the feeling. Appreciate you sharing this raw version. Well done as always.

[@GARBAGEMANBRAD]

What an epic adventure! Glad to see you back. It's incredible the footage you captured, the drone footage, the pictures, background music selection, and I love the backstory. Your mic selection is spot on. You are crystal clear with no wind noise. This is a masterpiece! Thanks for taking us along. Hope the next adventure is soon.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thank you for the kind words on all of the details that I put hours of work into. Very much appreciated!

[@jensr3924]

You are such a great inspiration for me! Allready bought a van, slept 10 nights in it. Made a start with van life. Thank you and greetings from germany. :)

[@KingMovies-ti1qf]

We absolutely loved that. Amazing videography. Thank you Chad. Great to see you still out there and enjoying life. Long may it continue!!!

[@robertfowler1221]

That was the best bike adventure video I have watched. Thanks for taking the time and effort to film it.

[@Jackson499]

Gosh, I must have watched this upload 10 times and I am still watching it right this moment. I think this is by far the best there is. Just love to watch a first hand view of the road up ahead as the bike rolling along.

[@GeminiJourney1111]

Enjoyed learning about why you decided to get back on your bike and trek. Always enjoy what you are up to and have to share. Blessings 💗✨

[@dhyde2025]

This is an amazing video, and I really enjoy reading the comments from people all around our little globe.

[@s.p.a.v.]

Title + Length = ❤

[@kevinmyers4437]

I did the Alpine Loop, Schofield Pass and Black Bear the first week of Aug 2024. Your video photography is breathtaking, I recognized most trails. I enjoy your work, nicely done!!

[@lindsaypayne5682]

Quality, quality, quality!!!! Your videos are always worth waiting for. Love watching you travel on your dirt bike!!!

[@rchauser57]

Once again, an exceptional piece of video storytelling. Just gotta say, thanks for taking me along.

[@DaeronDaugy]

First off, I want to compliment you on this awesome video. It’s a lot of fun to see you doing your thing on the bike. I also like how this video is a little less polished and shows more footage of you just maneuvering the bike and enjoying the ride. Loveing this new style! Keep it up!

[@Tsenngu]

Good to see ya back. Take breaks when needed. This is a thing you should enjoy making (although all the god darn work with cameras and driving back n forth to pick em up is tons of work) It is nice to have you back and on 2 wheels even!. Your filming is as always impeccable and beautiful. Hope you find peace in your soul brother and keep living the life you desire.

[@michs1708]

absolutely brilliant vid. great change of perspective riding and adventuring on a bike. Thanks and keep on keeping on!

[@dmwi1549]

The extra effort you take setting up shots like you showed us, then that bridge shot where your camera is probably sitting in the middle of the stream. Many may take that for granted. It’s art. I get the bike jones. I have an enduro, a hitch rack and traded the Four Wheel Camper for a Sprinter. It allows me to explore areas my Sprinter can’t go. That said, I’d have difficulty riding my bike on the rock garden you took your Sprinter on in the Creed video. What a life. Thanks for sharing.

[@Abhishek-ws3dn]

Chad well done.. What a magical experience.. Appreciate the way you express your experience, things and places. I'm with you.

[@dualsportjunkies5432]

Chad! Awesome video!! As a long time adventure moto rider, this was a nice change of pace for your channel. Especially in a place so near and dear to my heart, love it! I definitely will stay tuned for more LTVL content as I transition into a van over the next couple years. Thank you for all you do!!

[@FWDXPL]

The work you put into this film doesn't go unnoticed bro. Nice job!

[@iamkmann]

Brilliant video, Chad. Thank you so much for all of the time and effort you put into it! Keep on truckin'!

[@bmurray7248]

Peace out Chad. Really enjoyed that episode. Rode a lot of those passes in 2011 on my KTM 990. Gonna have to get back next summer and do it again.

[@shayli05]

Thank you so much for the amazing video, the touching editing, and for sharing your personal experiences. Thanks to you, I'm fulfilling a dream through the screen, riding in Colorado. Greetings from Israel! ❤❤❤

[@janetlynnmuxlow]

Awesome adventure on your bike Chad !!! Enjoyed this video so much. Thanks for switching it up and keeping it interesting always ❤

[@lindasteller]

Hey Chad! Always good to see you back again. New meaning to downsizing and compact gear. I just moved out of my two bedroom cottage into my van. I'm too old for smaller than that. Nice video, Chad.

[@rpc77603]

Awesome. Thanks for taking us along and i like your new ideas. 😎

[@zamp6969]

Adding the motorcycle is the next level hope to see more of it! Awesome adventure, amazing video! ❤ Thank you Chad!

[@davidwood974]

Incredible adventure, well done! Thank you for sharing, safe travels

[@HeddleTown]

Great stuff man as a pro rider with a small YT channel these folks won't even understand the amount of work it takes to capture this stuff alone setting the camera up riding than packing up riding a few k down the road to do it again over and over! Good for you maybe you should cross the word van out and re-brand to just 'Living The Life' Looking forward to the riding stuff.... \m/

[@meinekleinegartenwelt3110]

I can't tell ya how much i enjoyed the Video. The Nature left me Speechless. Greetings from Berlin

[@robpastore]

Chad my man you are still a huge inspiration to me, now going on new adventures, I am also very impressed on how your craftsmanship of filmmaking skill’s are top notch, you only have a GoPro cell and a drone and made an stunning inspired video. I can’t wait to see more from your channel. #PNW love brother #keeponbiking 🤙

[@Byrnie333]

30:30 I didn't think there was anywhere in America like this anymore. Beautiful.

[@JayChon]

The views are stunning! Thank you for sharing the views and the experience. Luv it!

[@b3ear509]

Rode the COBDR a few years back, man what a spectacular ride. You’re living out a lot of ours dreams man, a van, a bike, good gear and a drive to explore. Watched the whole thing with a giant smile on my face. Great photo work! Subbed.

[@richardbroom4324]

What a truly amazing film. Incredible scenery and so unbelievable how you filmed it all on your own. Nicely done

[@biffboffo]

You continue to outdo yourself. Your videos are always worth the wait.

[@digital-nature-uk]

A nice change of pace. Thanks for sharing all your hard work.

[@davidhowardhoward2212]

I dig that you are going in a different direction and want a new challenge. The things I enjoy the best from what you have produced is the locations and videography once you have reached your destination. Two standouts for me are the northern lights and Arizona thunderstorms, fantastic pieces of work. If you just showed any struggles or challenges in your efforts to reach a destination and then the amazing place you visited, I would be happy. Just keep it going as I truly enjoy your work. thanks

[@paulclark4509]

Amazing video. Allowed us to live that with you. What a trip . Thank you for entertaining us.

[@colinmccourt1571]

Another great film. Whether it’s winter van life or bike touring, your films are brilliant. Variety is the spice of life, as they say. Easier on Engineer Pass on a bike than in the Sprinter van! 👏

[@marciacoker2968]

Great idea Chad! Love you are combining motorcycle and Vanlife. Stay safe ☺️🙌

[@Jason-Black]

This is an incredible video. Beautifully shot, absolutely inspiring. I can’t imagine the work it took to shoot and edit this. Nice work.

[@michaeljordan4392]

Love your work,can't wait to see your moto adventures. Miss my mx days in the 1980s

[@emmaharce8938]

Epic! Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 👍💕

[@mbrannis]

ive been following you for a while man. its an interesting evolution. I watched you living the van life when I was getting into overlanding in a tacoma. found your videos soothing and educational while learning different tricks off the grid.. now I just got a KTM 790 adventure and looking to do more adventurous exploration on a bike. funny how youre getting back into it! looking forward to your new adventures!

[@Miguel_Almeida_FRS]

Increasingly complete, this KZbin channel, thank you Chad :)

[@panoramama]

Brother man You have showed us amazing videos but something about this one I can’t describe. All I wanted to do while watching this is be part of that scenery. Holy cow man. I’m making this a goal to one day have enough time to be able to travel all these passes. You amaze me again brother. 🥲

[@519Valentine]

This is reinventing yourself! Awesome stuff, Chad!
