Your video had all of the main ingredients for winter...adventure, battle against the elements, preparation with good gear, a little whisky?, a fire and a trusty companion. I think you ticked all of the boxes on this video . The video production was superb with great drone shots and I enjoyed watching that a great deal!

Dude. These are the types of videos I love. I appreciate the cinematography, but really love the in the van, hunkered down, and seeing you in your living quarters type videos. It’s nice getting both parts. I personally watch the videos for the van camping and it’s cool to see your rig and what you can do in it!

Hi Chad. I discovered you on KZbin about a week ago and have been binge watching your amazing videos ever since. I live in Scotland and it looks a lot like where you are at the moment! I bought a converted Ford Transit minibus last year and spent the whole summer travelling around Scotland with my wee dog. I've now stripped out the interior and am re-doing it to better suit me. I hang on your every word!!!! and have learnt so much from your videos, as well as enjoying the spectacular scenery. I love the way you look after Trucker so well, with his lovely warm jacket and his snow boots!! I don't normally write any comments on KZbin but I wanted you to know how much I appreciate every aspect of the content that you post. Take care and I look forward to watching your next video.

I recall driving back from mission ridge to ellensburg at night after a day of skiing, in a snow storm, in a vw bug, snow so deep you couldn’t see the edges of the road, following a semi close, like a magnet on his rear lights so as not to fall off the edge. Not able to see anything but those bright lights, a true white out at night, those red tail lights a beacon…. Lol exhausted from skiing, my friend sound asleep in the seat next to me. The days of crazy youth, shocking I survived it. I was driving west bound over blewett pass, on hwy 97, looks like your headed east near hwy 2. One time it snowed 57 inches over night in that area…. All the ski areas were closed… except?!? Alpental!!! 57 inches of fresh pow pow…..What a day that was. Thanks for sharing, I grew up in those snows…. Cascade concrete. Lol
