Overlanding The Badlands | Camping & Cooking in a 4x4 Sprinter Van | Living The Van Life

Embark on an unforgettable overlanding adventure with my 4x4 Sprinter van as we navigate the rugged beauty of Southern Utah's Badlands. Join me in this immersive KZbin video where we explore off-the-beaten-path trails, camp under the starlit sky, and showcase the art of cooking delicious meals over a crackling campfire. From breathtaking landscapes to mouthwatering campfire recipes, this journey is a testament to the spirit of exploration and the joy of outdoor culinary experiences. Pack your sense of adventure and get ready for a visual feast of epic landscapes and savory dishes in the heart of Utah's wild terrain!

[@davidleoboldt9668]

I have enjoyed your videos, but I wish you would briefly indicate which roads you drove, more then just saying 'Southern Utah's Badlands'. Maybe it was mentioned here in comments? Did I miss it?

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Sorry. In todays day & age I find it unhealthy for people on social medias to just open up and exploit all of these areas that once were mystical and well kept secrets for many many decades. I try to find the balance in getting out here and showing you guys enough of the scenery to inspire people to come explore the areas… but I want people to come out and discover the areas on their own accord. It will be much more meaningful to people who stumble upon these areas while they seek out their own adventure rather following the footsteps laid out by someone on the social medias. It’s much more healthy for these spots and for nature this way too. Too many spots out here have been ruined due to getting famous on social media. Cheers! And thank you for being part of the channel. Keep on truckin!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

BTW… if you don’t mind… I’m going to pin your comment on this video just to help answer the same question I’ve got from dozens of others on this same subject. Cheers!

I couldn't agree more@@LivingTheVanLife

[@ec_explore]

​@@LivingTheVanLifecuánta razón 🙏

[@Surlaroute22]

@@LivingTheVanLifebut the best way to preserve all those places will be not having a channel and do not show any of those areas. There are enough guidebooks and web infos to plan a travel. Social medias did so much harm to so many places. Everybody wants to do the same picture as anybody.

[@michaeljoseph6093]

Chad, you outdid yourself, seriously. This is one of the most beautiful well crafted KZbin videos I’ve seen. I know that if I could be there as were i would forever be changed. Such beauty, desolation and solitude touches my spirit.

The epic drone footage is only bested by the authentic emotion you instill into these presentations. Thank you, Chad, for bringing us along on your journey!

[@ronbusse8026]

Chad, I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning, this is your best work yet. Craftsmanship at its finest.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!

[@cadence9055]

THANK YOU for these stunning drone shots! OMG! I live 100% vanlife but will never see these areas this way without your videos. It’s breathtaking and surreal. 🎉 😊 👏

[@monkeyfarm]

amazing landscapes. those drone shots were awesome!

[@Twotinyhomes]

Probably the best van life video I’ve ever soon. Just gorgeous. The music, the views, all of it. At one point your drone was so high looked like it was filming from outer space almost. Your equipment must be top notch. Just an incredible vlog.

[@PsalmS-vi8zl]

Wow - VL - I had no idea there were Badlands in Utah. What incredible beauty. Seeing so many stars had to have been breathtaking - seeing them in your video reminded me of the song "Vincent" by Don McLean. Thanks for sharing. Be well.

Fantastic stuff Chad, amazing music and video editing, thanks for taking us there.

[@DonnaSimons-o3c]

I watched this wonderful long video last night before going to bed. Chad, I can see your sensitivity to beauty, art, music, lighting and knowing just how to put together such a perfect video. I love your choice of music too. And, being a chef myself, great to see how patient you are taking the time to make healthy meals totally the old way! What an amazing area of our country. Areas most of us homebodies will never see in our lives. Love that drone! Thank you for showing this to us!! D

[@sharonjohnsonart]

Hello, Chad! Every time you make these wonderful, advantageous, beautiful videos it touches the spirit of your soul to see what God have created on the face of this earth. Most of us can only see these types of videos through your eyes and lenses. Thank you, Chad! 🙏🏾❤️🚐... Keep on trucking!

Another outstanding production Chad. The whole van, drone and fire edits as well as your take on the landscape are superb. Thanks for bringing this amazing journey to us all. Joe from the UK.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Cheers! Thanks for watching!

[@YosemiteJ]

Your videos are so satisfying. From the visuals, to the background music, to just your genuine love of these amazing landscape, its perfection. I just absolutely love your content. I have had similar experiences going out alone in the wilderness and just enjoying the simple life. Unfortunately, I'm not living it full time, but i want to eventually. Every sunmer i take a month off to do exactly what you're doing. And I know exactly how you feel gazing onto the landscape and being emotional at the pure beauty of it all. There's nothing like it. We live in such a beautiful country. I've been binging your channel all day. Living vicariously through you for a little time has been so great. I know eventually I'll be living this life. Your videos have definitely solidified that notion. Thank you so much for your videos. Your love and passion for your adventures is palpable through the screen. PS, your van is a beautiful beast-tank and I'm so jealous.

[@LivingTheVanLife]
