Surviving a Record-Breaking Snowstorm in a Van | (8ft/2.5m) Extreme Blizzard Camping

[@davidkost418]

I see a lot of channels use storms and weather as clickbait. Maybe a little rain or snow but not a blizzard or horrid storm they say in the titles. Yours was not clickbait! What a storm! Huge blizzard! Kudos! Loved the video. Thanks

[@AfTEr-DEath-LifE4u]

True

[@BruceLund-is1sy]

I live in a soft climate, so it great to see extremes. In Tasmania we get snow, but it's still fun to slip into the mountains camping. We just have to hike to get there

[@oleggorky906]

You’re so right. Recently, I saw a video where a guy claimed that he was camping out in temperatures of -45. It’s not that I’m calling that other guy a liar … it’s just that the lake that he was next to wasn’t even frozen over, there was no snow nor hoar frost on the ground, or on any of the trees … They must think that their viewers are absolutely stupid and believe anything that they say. But yeah, I’ve seen this guy tackle some epic blizzards … he’s never exaggerated about the weather to get clicks, it’s always been the real deal as far as storms go.

[@kuzadupa185]

Oh! One last suggestion. I attach a bright neon color flag to my antenna so it can be seen when snow gets dumped on the van. Makes it easier to find my way back in a storm. Ive glued strips of reflective tape to the flag so it remains stiff AND makes super easy to find said flag/truck with a flashlight, even in darkest and worst storms

[@jessicanaser2939]

Looks like he is in a driveway. There is a little (house, cabin, chalet) right by his van @ 15:07 in this video.

[@childofthe1livinggod]

[@KathleenHoban]

It has been suggested in many comments that he put a flag on his antenna. He has never followed that advice.

[@karlacomenzind3987]

An orange flag...can see orange the furthest away.

[@mikilengyel6679]

So let’s see… he is in a AWD camper with chains. He seems to be well stocked. He’s in a place where the plows come by. There are open facilities. He has heat and shelter. He has tools, shovels. Take a lesson in preparedness, enjoy your adventures. Be safe

What I like mostly about this van, and what makes it different from the others, is the fact it is completely safe/ closed, so when you are inside, in the wild and unkonwn places surrounded with God knows which kind of threat, you can relax.

WOW! The amount of negativity towards this young man is unbelievable. Have any of you haters seen his other videos? Most likely no! He is young and living HIS life, NOT YOURS. Plus, this is HIS HOME and has been for some time. He’s parked in a safe place and has everything he needs. He let’s his friends/family know where he is and he probably checks in although we may not see that part. But some of you are being so close minded and are immediately judging him when you don’t even know him or how he handles himself in these extreme conditions. Check out his other videos and hopefully you’ll think differently. He’s not out there harming anyone at all. Enjoy yourself to the fullest @TravelersTale! YOLO ✌🏽😎

There is no hate here. As a mother who was at her grown son's bedside in the hospital because he failed to listen to her warnings, trust us. This is not hating. This comes from experience as a mother who cares about the welfare of all. So when we say" wear a florescent vest, clear the tailpipe, bring a second pair of socks, pack the carbon monoxide detector, and fall in love." Smile and say, " Good points, I'll do that" As mothers, we get to pull the mother card-anytime we want. Going through labor, we've earned that ;) nuff said.

[@bizzylizzyplue]

I'll never forget, my cousin and I took amtrak through the Sierras and Cascades not this past winter but the one before and the snow was so deep. The conductor said it was as deep as 18 feet in some places. I remember a railroad crossing where the snow was so deep no car could have gotten through and the drifts were insane. Those atmospheric rivers the past two winters in the Sierra and Cascades have dumped a bonkers amount of snow. Really enjoyed this video of yours.

[@Erin-Thor]

I would have gone for a bright RED 🟥 vehicle myself. I’d be worried about another vehicle seeing me camouflaged in the snow. 😳🤣

[@ThatGuy182545]

One of the reasons people outfit vehicles like this is to “stealth camp” in parking lots and such. Places where a van might not be out of place parking overnight, but someone camping there might draw the ire of local law enforcement or property owners. A brightly coloured vehicle draws the eyes in that situation, which is exactly what you want to avoid.

Great program,but I would be scared to be locked in that bathroom either because the lock didn't work right or the door froze shut,in that storm.

But forever made me extra cautious in my many travels everywhere.

[@kuzadupa185]

Suggestion for dry floors. Get one of those mats thats thick rubber and made of open cells, like bee hive. Keep at front wheres door. Immidietly after it, lay down an old towel, folded. Have on hand 3 or 4 towels, and rotate as wet ones dry. Ive used this method for offroading in snow or mud or both and it helps grab all the snow that falls from my boots and jacket and pants/shell. A smaller towel is great to use as a "smacker" and i smack the back of my pants and jackets (and arse if feeling naughty!) To dust off all the snow clinging to me. I keep the towels in a small old milk crate which allows any water to leak out and out the van/truck. I dont have any meaningful suggestions because its obvious you're aware on some level what can be dangerous and you are having extreme fun. Good for you! Keep it up and try to remain safe:)

I was born in mass and then lived in Texas for 45 years. If you keep letting that snow inside that beautiful van it’s going to ruin it. I moved back north to New Hampshire five years ago and at 66 I’m the one that does the majority of shoveling deep snow. I hate to see you pushing up against the plastic on the doors because they will break. It’s best you shovel what you can each time you use the restroom. It was smart bringing chains with you. I drove from Texas to NH during the winter in my Honda pilot with my two small dogs and three year old. It was snowing and cold. I stayed at the red roof inn so my dogs and I got warm and took showers. I kept a small shovel and brushes for snow. At night stopped and got dinner and we went and ate and slept nice and warm. I love how you did the bed great ideas. I’ve been using a little of everyone’s ideas.

[@pobstrel]

Agree. I couldn't understand why he stood outside to put his jacket on when it was snowing with the van door open! So the wet snow went all over his sweater and then he put his jacket over it. Wet clothes are never a good thing .

[@cyndizebra6119]

Ok so what I’m about to say, take it as motherly - like concern for your safety rather than just a troll being critical . I’m posting this in hopes that you take my advice!!Another video, another life - risking venture. Look, your videos are really entertaining but every time I shake my head at your choices. It’s risky enough just going out into a huge storm like this- you could be stranded , have vehicle failure, etc. There’s all that and then you take MORE risk by making poor decisions like going out on these treks with only a camera into horrible harsh conditions. Like at minimum pack a backpack with some water and basic survival items. One fall and an injury that leaves you unable to get back to the van will be deadly VERY QUICKLY. You often state you don’t have cell service. Please at least carry a GPS device with the ability to use satellite to call for help, like I see responsible hikers use. I’m just saying , you need to do more preparations to keep safe because Mother Nature is brutal! I always j think about my son, who I think is about your age, when I watch these videos and I about how worried your mom must get knowing you are out in these dangerous storms. So please 🙏🏻 just take more precautions and be more prepared!!!

Wow!! This is absolutely amazing. I wish we experienced this even a little in Kenya 🇰🇪. I just love watching these.

What a video!! It was both beautiful and terrifying!! You have the perfect set up for the extreme weather! Loved it!! Be careful though!! (Said with mom voice) 😂

Thank you! Will do!

Good for you having the time of your life in your beautiful camper van regardless of the weather and the snow . You only live once, good on ya. Hi from Ireland 😊

[@Deetroiter]

Love the sense of adventure! Something that we have to do here in great lakes/michigan winters is during heavy snowstorms, plan on going out every few hours to clear the snow where you need to clear it in order to keep it from building up to beyond clearing. Totally normal to hear shovels and snowblowers at 2am from people clearing their driveways and sidewalks. I was getting nervous for you seeing your drivers door getting blocked in and almost impossible to open. Please keep your exits cleaned as much as possible, even if you need to get out there for a few minutes at 2am :)

The Donner party (horse-drawn covered wagons) got entombed by snow in Dec.1846. The first night they got 6 ft. of snow. The 2nd night they got 4 ft. with multiple storms following. The survivors were rescued in February 1847. Its estimated that 15 to 20 feet of snow fell during that period. Just wrap your head around that!

The final survivor who it turns out consumed the most people, actually started an Inn/Restaurant in San Fran.

[@thomaswwwiegand]

Love it, thanks well prepared I did similar between 1995 and near 2003, with just Car (Touring) for Weekend Days when Austria or Swiss was hit by snowfall. Much easier food, gas cook for emergency, but food for a week, and all tools to get the car moving (snowchain and 100 kg gravel/sand as shovel) and myself warm and busy. Even just with a tent and double sleeping back at -25 over one new year event. That teaches me respect over the power of weather and how former generations had to deal with it.

I live in the south , but i used to live in Montana and I don't miss the winters there at all . Now you know why those old miners and trappers got cabin fever .

[@riverduck3]

I guess you're being complimentary toward this man and his video. Nope, you weren't. You were all about you and hating the snow. Wow.

[@dangreene3895]

@@riverduck3 Wow people are weird , how you got that comment was about me is crazy, Just saying its colder than hell in Montana in the Winter , and cabin fever was a real thing because miners or trappers were stuck in their cabin all winter and it made them a little stir crazy ,

@@dangreene3895 how can something be colder than hell??? lolol Yes, cabin fever was a real thing, but that has nothing to do with this fine young man's video. Try to think of others for a change.

Better you than Me Pal ! Today's date is 9/19/24 and it looks like the area is just getting back underway, (snow-wise). I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, but you came prepared knowing what you were in for and did one-hell-of-a-job by doing so. Greetings from SC!!!

I really loved your video, you have a wonderful personality to go along with it. You definitely show that preparedness is super important. Please make some more videos, I enjoyed watching this one. I wish you the very best young man!
