Someone once said to me: “Sometimes, your art is just the way you live your life.” Chad, you’re an artist. ❤️

No apology necessary,,, The heater is all part of the experience ...... And what a GREAT LOCATION,,, Snow, Wind, and the whole Van so well equipped ..... I wish I was 40 yrs younger to do it all over again,,, enjoy every second to the MAX .... I had a van in the 70's, 80's, 90's and I really miss it,,, so many things I think of now I should have done then,, so whatever crazy adventure idea you have, DO IT,, you'll be glad you did !!!!!

Study,work,make money and all so Obama/Biden inflation can take it away. Do stuff when you are young. It's a shame most things require money.

Little adventure or big adventure Chad never fails to deliver. Great food great weather great van great film. Much love and respect to you ❤👍

[@YeaVex]

You never disappoint and just the start of this video makes it a great one. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@homesteadandhighways]

Pro tip: when scraping food from your cutting board, turn the knife over to scrape with the blunt edge. This will save your blade!

[@lackofdubs5975]

Lightly brushing a knife over a block won't dull it as quick as most think.. you will have to sharpen it faster, but the difference is so minimal.

[@Krigarhund]

@@lackofdubs5975 Its not the only reason. You risk scraping of debris from the cutting board with a sharp edge as well.

[@seona6549]

I'm glad I found you again❤ I lost my husband a little over a year ago and disconnected from social media! The van looks amazing 😍, I love it!

[@adityaverma3916]

You look terrifying

[@PsalmS-vi8zl]

Chad - I enjoy all your videos but I must say your winter videos are epic! Stay toasty 🙂❤🙏

[@faceup9257]

of all the van lifer's van, I like your van the most. and i like your enthusiasm for the vehicle and the filming and the places you visit. Your attention to details in 3 of those is unique.

[@sandrajacob7550]

Bless you Chad. Your wonderful adventures are such a blessing for us folks who will never be lucky enough to make the journey. Keep on keeping on. Thank you from the U.K. x

[@colinmccourt1571]

Was just watch the Norwegian Xplorer, who was watching you whilst he was out in the mountains in Norway! He recommended you on his channel.

[@christinej9080]

The sound of the heater is actually relaxing 😊 This whole video was zen👍

[@lackofdubs5975]

The sound makes me feel anxious lol. Hate buzzing noises and the sound of wind from a fan. 😂

[@allanblack8635]

I love the sound of the diesel heater. It transports me into a cozy warm van. I found myself with my eyes closed falling asleep with that hum going. No better sound than the sound of a small heater.

[@zlatan_2197]

Winter atmosphere is something else, especially when it's combined with cosiness of inside the van. Great video once again Chad!

[@DAVexpeditions]

I thoroughly enjoy seeing how far mechanically your Sprinter can be pushed beyond the original design of this van. Truly inspirational.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!

I work from home and I watch your video whenever there is a new one because mentally soothing traveling the outdoor especially during winter in the woods. I hope one day I can buy my own sprinter van that is built for such adventures. Keep rocking and trekking, Thanks for taking us to your adventure.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks for the comment and the very kind words. Keep your eyes on those goals of yours

Chad, I love this channel!! Keep living it up! ✌️

Van Camp in Blizzard. Grab myself a beverage and sit back and enjoy..nothing better. Thanks Chad

[@SeattleSeaDragon]

I one 100% would be ready to ride along for this adventure. . Snow, winter, companionship. sounds absolutely amazing. . Hope you enjoyed your time in the snow.

[@100lastgoodnerves8]

I really didn’t notice it until you brought it up. Now my brain is infected! Thanks and keep up the amazing work!

Another Great Video.

Another great and inspiring episode. Thanks, Chad!

[@helenhull7768]

You are so brave and quite amazing too! Thank you for bringing us along!

[@1966spyderco]

Did that once in Wyoming, woke up to about 10 lodgepole pines fallen around our camper. Stay alert Chad. Great video and spot out in the open

[@wendywitzig119]

You made of steel! Not only takes the trash out in a blizzard but films it from multiple angles in that weather. That's Beastmode! Amazing as alaways.

[@leonmurphey3968]

I really do enjoy riding shotgun on your adventures, thank you for taking us along😊

[@Dav-S5658]

Chad, I've been a sub for many years. We have talked a few times at Expo, and I told you this in person, but I'll write it down here too. The thing that hooked me early on about your videos is your attention to the soundscape.. You have such artistry in your use of ambient sound, music, and silence. Combined with your videography, your channel is a joy to follow.. If I were a blind man, I would still watch your videos. Your comment about the heater sound, prompted my comment. I just had to chuckle.....David

[@johnsimpson8198]

So true David,he's the Master!

[@bigcountry443]

Chad your amazing brother. Thank you for all your hard work producing amazing content. I definitely enjoyed and learned alot from you. Cheers friend!!

LTVL and Norwegian Explorer back to back this evening - what a treat. Outstanding videos every time.

[@ericdanielson4177]

It's great to watch both of those inside a nice warm house!

[@KaykiddE]

You are living my dream. Maybe one day, I can do what you do, but my way. Lol You do a phenomenal job. All your work and travels has inspired me. Thank you for all that you do.

[@DayZeroFWD]

Really enjoy your vanlife videos over all the others.....you live it, most others pose it.

Nice Van, insta pot, diesel heater, this is my kind of camping. No tent on a pile of snow for me

[@rickbrown2442]

I love it you are awesome keep on trucking forward my friend and enjoy life

[@maureenclayton7401]

A lot of years ago now I drove a sprinter van, it was done out to accommodate our four children and two dogs. I loved it, my husband worked on the oil rigs so a lot of the time it was just me taking the kids all over.,the only thing I found was in the bad weather it didn’t hold as well on the roads as I would have liked.. yours is brilliant. I miss those years, however we have 8 grandkids now and we bought a holiday home instead, my health isn’t what it used to be but I still help out as much as I can. Love watching these videos., from England

[@dyates6380]

I love these videos. I've told many people about your channel and how wonderful and unique it is. Be safe and keep on enjoying life. We never know when we'll be called home.

[@overlandbyrover]

I for one love the sound of the diesel heater. It's the sound of dominating winter. To me it's almost as pleasant as the sound of a camp fire. P.S. I'm going to try that recipe!

[@florasonners1635]

I love all your winter videos!

[@billyrichterrocks]

These videos get automatic like as soon as it starts playing. The content is better than anything I get anywhere else. I came here for the vanagen but the sprinter is finally starting to grow on me. I try hard to watch em as soon as I see they’re available. Keep it up. You are a huge inspiration for me and my winter adventures here in west Michigan.

[@robertpearlman6089]

Hey Chad. I've been watching your videos from before the pandemic. Your new van is magnificent. I envy you my friend. I really would like to live a van life myself, but I'm recovering from cardiac arrest. I have an internal Defibrillator that has to be monitored constantly. Just watching you in the van surrounded by a blizzard is remarkable. One question, have you ever been in a situation where some crazy person in the woods was stalking you? That's the one thing that worries me if I was on the road.
