Surviving a SNOW HURRICANE in a Van! | Record-Breaking Blizzard Camping Through a Polar Vortex

[@Sarah-xw2ff]

Folks watching, always dig out your tailpipe area in heavy snow. Huge safety concern.

[@SpotTheBorgCat]

That's what I was worried about. CO2 poisoning.

[@joshdevdoss9041]

I don't think they use their engine to heat themselves up. They probably have a diesel heater that has another exhaust pipe or an electric heater.

[@Secko1Secko]

I would keep metal hose i could attach & run it high

[@Bum_Hip]

Forgetting your snow pants is a great way to get out of schlepping through that storm.

[@deenasmusicbox]

lol…sounds like a little pre-planned sus to me…😂😂😂

[@dreamboards1056]

Spoiler alert, when the snow melts they find a pair of women's snow pants right next where the van was.

[@lori6037]

New girlfriend looks like the old girlfriend. I’m guessing he’s got a type he likes 😂

[@Bum_Hip]

@ I thought that was the same girl.

[@marquismaintenance]

"HUNKER DOWN" !!!! Famous words from Steve Wallis😃

[@Lolo-qw9vy]

I Love Snowstorms and just staying inside to watch it come down. I must say You're So Brave to go through such an Amazing journey. Congratulations ! You must be in excellent shape to do all that exercise and shoveling. That cannot be easy, I hope that you never overdo it. Thanks for sharing. Take good care.😊

[@TheAMMOBEAR615]

Omg shes so freaking cute 🥰

[@jasonholoubek8596]

That's she is

[@pinkmagiclala]

Omg, you’re alive! You’ve been missed.

[@Sailor376also]

Snow is an excellent thermal insulator. One of the warmest, quietest nights I ever spent in a tent it snowed about a foot. Covered everything. I had to make sure the tent remained vented, but even with a bit of fresh cold air coming in, the interior of the tent warmed to 50 or 55F,, and quiet,, utter silence. Didn't even go out the next morning, took the day off and read. Let the sun burn most of it off. Second night just as warm, packed up the next day.

[@mrMankx]

Just when i was wondering where you went, welcomme back!

[@maybee...]

That is a lot of snow. I grew up at Lake Tahoe, one winter we were out of school for ten days, we loved it, but we had no power. It was January 1964 near Echo Summit. My mom was going crazy having all of us cooped up in the house, we couldn't see out the windows.

[@Alicia-fy3je]

Smart idea by not going through that snow. I could tell how exhausting it was to walk through it just by looking at it. Imagine getting stranded outside in THAT!

[@joellenfawcett9404]

When I heard about the storm I instantly thought of you😂😂 I knew you would be out there. That was ALOT of snow! Thanks for taping it and letting us see. Take care☃️☃️

[@nelsiearmadilla9665]

Hello, Everest. You’re back. I missed you. We missed you. I was always checking my notifs for your update. Thank you. And Hello also to your lovely Lady❤

[@kimmberlie573]

Let the adventures begin! Your extreme winter adventures are always the best. Fantastic video! Stay warm and safe.

[@VickiMcCormick-jf5pe]

You two make an adorable couple. You are perfect for each other, and both are so cute.

[@ccg1171]

Shut up. She'll be with me.

[@leighmaesaka5880]

Eyyyy, you're back! I heard about that storm when it was about to hit the west coast, and thought to myself, "I wonder if Everest is going to get out in there and camp?" AND SURE ENOUGH!! That was a heck of a storm! It looked like you were nice and cozy in the van and had a very nice supper indeed! Glad you got in and got out!

[@carriann3725]

Welcome back. So great to have you back. Wow that’s a lot of snow ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️💖🤗

[@frankquevedo6001]

Many great things about your vlog; you’re alive. The last time I watched you there was a very used aircraft involved. Your lovely lady still puts up with your Frozen 🥶 adventures. There is , so far, not Mac n cheese being consumed in a very cramped environment. Ah youth! P. s. It’s really great to view you again. Stay warm, safe ,and don’t let mom nature bite you (2) in da bum😉🦃

[@juliebuck100]

LONG TIME NO SEE. WHY DO YOU WAIT SO LONG TO POST? EPIC SNOW AND YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE SNOW LOVER. I WISH YOU'D PLAY YOUR KEYBOARD MORE AND SING! YOU DO SING BEAUTIFULLY. ALSO HOPE YOUR 'NEW' LOVE LIFE IS GOING WELL. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YALL. LOVE, JULIE

[@jivos1]

I got stuck in Tahoe Donner a few years back ... more than 6 feet of snow in a weekend just before Christmas. When we shoveled the driveway, we were tossing it out well over our heads. A canyon of snow. Higher than the roof of a Chevy suburban. Snow nearly covered the tops of street signs. Snow covered the windows in the house... a house that was already 3 feet or more off the ground. Beautiful to look at. But an enormous amount of work to shovel. Took more than a day for the plows to show up on our street.

[@TinyLiving]

I am SO glad you decided not to go out solo thru the deep snow in a record-breaking storm. SMART! Thank you for not putting clickbait ahead of your life!!! Kudos

[@freddie.rhodesr9984]

@Tinyliving- that’s why his channel is one of not the best. ❤

[@freddie.rhodesr9984]

Oops I meant the best

[@margoburns9085]

Loved this video. Reminded me of being back in Montreal. I do have to disagree with you though. I got out of that much snow many times and never had 4x4 or tire chains back then. Mind you, it snowed like that multiple times a winter and we had lots of practice. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@junesloan5142]

Welcome back!!!!! Just in time for an epic storm!

[@JaneDoe-ob3tq]

Just when I had started to get worried, you came back! Hey!! 👋

[@SM-db6ft]

Wow it looked like Donner's Pass but more! You are both brave and strong. Nice of the snowplan man to help you! Stay safe and God bless.

[@robp3431]

Sitting in my living room watching this while 65 deg outside ...... this was awesome !

[@bcsurvivor4713]

Sure she didn't forget her snow pants on purpose?? Cause I would have. She didn't look disappointed about it either.

[@patshankle3281]

❤❤ OMG i was just thinking about you haven't seen anything from you in forever. Glad you aren't alone anymore. I know you love snow,and camping in it. I remember that little house you made awhile back in the snow... Safe Travels.🌨️❄️🌨️🥶🥶 Happy Thanksgiving wherever u are. 🦃🦃

[@kinjiru731]

That was a really great video, wild how much snow there was! You two make a great team.

[@carolemcnulty2009]

Great to see you again, you’ve been missed. Hope we get a few more videos now winter is an upon us. X❤️

[@luciannasoucy5015]

Omg!!! I'm so HAPPY to see you back again ❤

[@truneilson]

The irony of your sign hanging from your mirror is not lost on me as you head off into a major snow storm in the Sierra Mountains. Glad you did not meet the fate of the Donner Party in this epic storm!

[@jillcoe4695]

Holy cow. It was beautiful however I am amazed you didn't freeze pipes. Thanks for the video. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@johncraft8175]

I just looked you up yesterday thinking surely I'd missed a post. There's no way you wouldn't be out with this atmospheric river hitting the North West. Glad you are back and looking forward to a great season.

[@filobetobaby]

Finally, someone using the only suitable shovel for winter travel. A grain scoop. Most off-gridder's have ridiculous little flat kid shovels. I applaud you 😊

[@tlcb7708]

Grain shovel for shoveling snow is the only right way to go❤❤❤❤❤

[@alexfarrer2365]

Omg your back. Think half the planet was worried about you. So glad to see you back.

[@emmas1082]

The food looks great!!! Amazing video, great job⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@mooguy8511]

That was scary to watch! Glad you made it out safe

[@AzulMariecreations]

Welcome back, I missed your videos!!

[@tiffaniebarbee103]

Saw your video pop up and had to do a double take 😂😂😂 All is right in the world because Everest is out of hibernation. Welcome back!!! 🎉

[@Wacky_Whimsy]

When Everest says it's the worst winter storm he has ever been through, that's how you KNOW it's bad before you even see it! That was bonkers!!

[@traceyparker3248]

Was worried about you. Glad you and Erin are back 👍 x

[@franmcintyre8823]

What an awesome video! Good to see you, again! Stay safe and warm, my dear!

[@VenkyPrabhu]

Excited to see much more frequent videos from you now that winter's here :) :)

HE'S ALIVE👍✌

[@TravelersTale]

I’m like the opposite of a bear…hibernating in summer ❄️

[@Abdullahbipl]

hihi

[@kylereese4822]

@@TravelersTale A big tip.... Your exhaust - at some point make a removable extension that goes up the side of the van above the roof line and the end facing down wards(stops snow blocking it) that way if you leave the van on you don't get carbon monoxide poisoning from gas building up under the van....... And simple to remove use magnet fishing magnet to hold it in place with a bit of wire or chain wrapped around it... ps put a piece of cloth between the magnet and van it stops damaging the paint.

[@fraulowrey]

Hope you have a wonderful camping season.

[@ccg1171]

Lucky guy i wish I was stuck alone with her in there. Have fun.

[@karincartwright8752]

I was thinking about you the other day. Not sure why I didn't get notified when you posted. I just sort of tripped over it two days later!

[@raymondhou3181]

good to hear you are back. All the best

[@housesOTR]

I led some kids snow camping near there. We made igloo and saw some trees that were about a foot tall. I came back in the summer and checked the tree height. It turned out we were camping on 25' of snow.

[@deenasmusicbox]

_EPIC_ _BLIZZARD!!!_ _MAN_ _BEAST_ _WITH_ _SHOVEL!!!_

[@squarefour1]

That was deep. Glad you made it

[@ggsmith48906]

16:08 "...And if you don't have chains you're not going anywhere. It doesn't matter if you have 10 wheel drive. You're not moving." That is VERY helpful information! Thank you for sharing!!

[@tsrgoinc]

The ski pants were hidden away, trust me! 😉

[@MSSean-md9vf]

rule#1 don't leave your shovel outside during storm, #2 don't forget or leave it behind, its kinda important..

[@jessicasarmy8896]

Wow! Man, you are a good sport to do all the grunt work, shoveling ALL the snow the ENTIRE time. Get your list together for the next time and check off those snow pants!

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Were I live we get quite a lot of snow back in 1978 we got a blizzard ended up making tunnels in the snow to get back and forth from garage and barn an house . We couldn’t get out for almost 2 weeks . This year 2024 had a little snow and was melted the next day been getting a lot of rain possibly maybe snow today on Thanksgiving Day at night. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your girlfriend love the videos . Be safe always keep phone charged and emergency kit near the door and a flare gun to let the road crew blow the road.

[@angelwings31309]

That dinner tho! Couple goals

[@Hilalkhan2211]

bro is living his life and we are just spending our lives

[@joannemarkus4019]

Even without snow pants I don't think I could watch you shovel all that by yourself... :(

[@datony337]

I've never seen so much snow in my life haha

[@deniseockey6204]

Welcome back. You disappeared on us. Glad you are ok. Looking forward to more videos! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

[@michaelnelson-o9m]

You guys are freaking crazy, but I love it good for you are used to live in Mammoth Lakes and we used to get the snow dumps there too!

[@Al-hk6yi]

this is snow dig world champion, the digger's tale

[@pesto12601]

lol.. when the guy walk through the door.. I figured.. ok... a 25 year old living in a van like that... I can see it for a few years. Then... she showed up and I was like.. hell no! LOL..

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Nice adventure! I live in Canada, and have had to deal with lots of snow, sometimes as much as you just did. Everytime I see some youtuber make list the things you need to keep for an emergency in winter, they all for get a good snow shovel! They all have those "tactical" shovels and tretching tools...but they suck for snow. As you show, that snow shovel is worth its weight in gold in getting out of being stuck in snow. Also, one warning about using that sudden stop technique for cleaning your roof...it can also damage or destroy your wipers and/or the armatures for the wipers...so be careful doing that! We have tools for cleaning snow off the roof of taller vehicles, and as we may have to do it all season, it is worth keeping in your vehicle.

[@RickyD1968]

You two make a cute couple !!!

[@mikejurnak0324]

Welcome back, I was worried you got buried under 15ft of snow. But I see where you have been quality time with the new girlfriend. 😂

Stop being weird, that's his sister.

​@@Bluebloods7Are you crazy? That's not his sister, didn't you see him kiss her on the lips 🙄?

😂 You did say that you never get stuck, and you were right Everest. But man, that was a lot if digging there 🥵. I really enjoyed this video and I'm so happy that you're back 👍🤗❤️✨️

[@Bestman59]

Welcome back. You make winter fun to watch.

[@Sedonalegendhelenfrye]

Love your videos! spent a lot of time traveling the country with a Silver Streak, never in this kind of snow. Grew up in Bend/Corvallis, so have been over the Cascades many times when the snow was 30 feet high (I assume you are from WA). That said, my concern watching your post was carbon monoxide, were your exhaust vents covered? Be careful. What about all the electricity you were using, solar panels would be useless, and any engine or generator exhaust vents would be covered, batteries would be easily depleted. I had 12 batteries at one time. I commend you for your tenacity and vitality, wow! Wonder if you scratched the paint on your van when shoveling? Camping next to a plowed road is wise, as a lot of instances where people thought they would be fine, and froze to death in the Sierras and the Cascades. Be careful! By the way I love Yosemite and Lassen etc., but not in winter, LOL! Best!

[@anetteskyumlarsen8077]

❤ Happy to see you again Everest, oh and Aaron too 👍❤️✨️

[@robinmertz6002]

Wow! What a tremendous amount of snow.

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

In this kind of weather it's best to keep the vehicle your staying in dug out frequently. Don't let it get to deep. It will make it much easier to clear a path when it's time to leave. 10 feet feom the plowed road is alot of work to say the least.

[@DanKeeley]

Excellent job! You definitely don't need a gym membership after that workout

[@Judamac]

Hi from Canada. Nice to see a video from you. Been awhile
