Sub-Zero Winter Weather in A Van | Winter Van Life | Living The Van Life

[@monideepmukherjee106]

Having a pet like this doggy is wonderful. You will never know what loneliness is . Sweet .................

[@sailingscotland5114]

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!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks for that! Much appreciated!

[@WhatItBeLike123]

"This weather is no joke" Well said, Sir Expect the best, plan for the worst Be well and go, Trucker ❤️🙏

[@joesondag6801]

Agreed & well said. No whiskey for me though I am on a permanent time out. :)

[@taikoyu4433]

Thanks bro …I’m gonna take u in next video

Loved viewing your vid, I Subbed. 🌧🚐🥶👍🧊💝

[@ToniMattTony]

I love when you spend more time indoors and tell us and show us the weather conditions. Please do more cold weather trips

[@atifjameel_aj]

Hey Chad just wanna let you know I admire your work and watching your videos gives me eternal peace. Huge fan of yours from the other side of the world(India) Greetings for the Christmas!

[@adamsmith7079]

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!

[@rickievandeventer5979]

I can definitely relate. I miss the old school van life videos. This is just overly pimped out and to be honest doesn't have that same homely feel. Still enjoy the video but not what I originally watched.

[@Johnniebhoy83]

Man these videos are just so incredibly calm and chill to watch.

[@simons5193]

Your videography is first class. You shoot some amazing scenery Chad.

[@MargaretKeene]

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.

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Cheers! Thanks for watching!

[@timmymendenhall1275]

Scotland is my dream destination. Some day !

[@matty.f]

The fact you were playing Ice Age, not only depicted the weather outside, but it did the perfect job to keep us entertained while you were making your beverage. Well done sir, well done lol.

[@mariem.6747]

He is so freaking adorable! Bouncing around in the snow! ☺ Ice Age

[@jeffreygilchrist1330]

Top shelf video,if not the best one of the very best film makers on KZbin bravo just love your work

[@Vandominium]

Chad, my guy. It’s not just that your van is super off road capable, that’s just one aspect of it. It’s that fact that you go the inhospitable places that don’t necessarily invite you dude. #keeponvanin. I wanna be like you when I grow up……..

[@Potatoalex538]

I love how the video has no talking no background loud music,just pure bliss,calmness,beautiful environment and cozy room inside van...

[@niko918]

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

[@smashingbrandon]

One of my favorite videos Chad has put out in probably 3 years!!! Just amazing!

[@MrPOPSZILLA]

agreed

[@sonofamountain2862]

I believe that the point of making an outdoor,van life adventure type of content is to motivate and inspire others to get outside and enjoy nature while making them feel like they are there with you while they watch from home. You have accomplished all of that in all of your videos,and I appreciate that very much. Thank you.

[@davidless2339]

Wow Chad...your cinematography pure quality...you definitely can tell a story...Everything you doing is for us...we appreciate you man!

[@agibsonallan]

Nice to see with unconditional love and affection for a man four paws and a tail and no drama

[@ablais007]

I really like when you show the small stuff. Like the outdoor and indoor thermometer. And luv those outdoor led lights for the corners of the awning. Trucker was a great addition. Keep it up Chad!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

I really appreciate the feedback! Cheers!

[@luckyedwards4870]

One might assume ur a decent guy from ur vids, but I figure that's gotta b true with how good u treat ur dog. Who doesn't luv a good dog. Ur dog appears like a good dog, and I really respect and appreciate how obviously good u r to ur dog. Cool vid over Stevens Pass, I must have driven that pass a zillion times. A true thumbs up guy.

[@heatherbedwell5067]

I always get so excited when these videos are filmed where I live.

[@Banagal]

Your videography, editing, camping skills, you, and your dog 🐕‍🦺make watching your videos so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing the peace and tranquility of East Washington. 🕊

I haven’t been able to watch you for ages- things have certainly moved on, but your photography remains impeccable.

[@timothygregory4420]

I’m not sure if anyone else has told you this but I personally think that you narrate just the right amount. Keep doing your thing. Thanks for tagging us along.

He's really killing it with the drone shots, they just keep getting better and better!

[@markwilkins9048]

Bro, absolutely love your videos. I’m retied,,30 years in LE in majors ghetto city. Former Marine and lifelong backpacker. I bought a camper van in 2019 when I retired and have traveled to every state in the country. I love the way you share your experience on video. I must say, I travel with a GSD,,,he loves the wilderness and the snow, but traveling in the van is tough for home.

[@deetrvl4life875]

Love all your videos, but ohhh, there's just something really special about being in the Winter environment, prepared and capable. Another thing i 'specially enjoy is reading the comments you receive, and I think you're very special in that you respond to your viewers! (No response necessary!) haha ;)

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Thanks Dee! I appreciate you’re feedback. Keep on truckin!

[@liedebunker1253]

I just love to watch camping, especially living-in-a-van camping. Many others make camping videos about their vacations, which is not real life.

[@charleenhurlburt5369]

Now to tell you I have two beings to love and worry about......you and Trucker! So happy you have a traveling companion!

While you were recording inside your van, I felt the much needed warmed that was comforting you and Trucker.

[@olympian166]

I’ve watched this twice ! I’m so impressed with you chad ! Been a subscriber for quite sometime now. My wife and I are planning to buy a van before retirement ! I know we’re only young and in our 30’s but this is what we’re gonna do ! As house don’t take us anywhere !

[@LivingTheVanLife]

This is my 10th year of van life. Too young? Never. I was in my 30's when I started. Take it slow and make sure it's totally the lifestyle you want before selling your sticks and bricks in order to live in a van. Best of luck to you both! Thanks for watching!

[@claramullen]

Hi Chad very fitting to be watching an Ice Age movie in the setting your at. I love seeing Trucker chasing the snowflakes.

[@eagleeye5890]

When I was out in the dead of winter, on the coldest, snowy night, my big rig's diesel heater kept me toasty warm while in my sleeper bunk area...They are super efficient at doing their job while only just sipping fuel...Stay warm & safe out there Mr Chad and Happy Holidays!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Great! My experience as well. Thanks for watching, Eagle Eye! Happy holidays-

[@micheandmikey]

HA!! Canadian Club!! I ALWAYS have a bottle of that around, it's my go to daily if I'm going to have one on a whim, otherwise I'll break out the spendy stuff. Can't beat CC for the price though!! Another great video Chad, cheers!!!

[@chrismcdonnell1695]

Thanks you Chad. Another really high quality production where you succictly convey the rugged beauty of the countryside you are showcasing. Those drone shots ! Its a wow from me.

[@elib7311]

I LOVE that overhead light! Now, I don’t know all the techno terms for those handy things, but with my night blindness, MAN, if I could legally drive around with something like THAT??? The way it lit up the woods so you could see if anything was gonna come leaping out onto the road…and where the curves are before you reach them-yeah, I need one of those in my life. Maybe on the front door too…turn it on when someone ignores the No Soliciting sign…

[@johnwilson6494]

Nice to see a van life without commercials. It has also been very cool to see the vw back in use a couple times. That being said I dont blame you for choosing the comfort and saftey of the sprinter

Hi Chad, great videos been watching you for a while it's just such a peaceful life. I lived in a camper for about 3 years drove all around Europe in it did about 7 countries had the time of my life now live on a boat and living the dream...wouldn't change it for anything, I feel so free when I'm on it, it makes everything feel right and in balance its such a beautiful life ......anyway look forward to your next video take care 🙂

[@mohammadrayyan7851]

How do you work? i.e what do you do to make a living while living in a van or a boat other than social media?

[@vexvanquish]

I am a groundworker, digger driver so work for a while travel for a while its about balance and finding what suits you. I don't do much travelling these days as done alot when I was younger but still love the life style, peace and tranquility.

[@OOJericho]

I lived near that rest area. 5 miles off the highway is Lake Wenatchee and White river. Worthy in winter. Outstanding in summer.

If you want to add a little “tech” to your temperature measurements, get you a couple of SensorPush Bluetooth temperature/humidity sensors. Records temperature continuously and the app gives you alerts/alarms and a continuous chart of the temps. Pretty impressive visuals.

Hey Chad, your videos are always so inspired, the joy you exude in witnessing the grandeur of nature is infectious. You are the reason my dreams of owning a Sprinter Van remain alive and achievable.
