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

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

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.

@@BruceLund-is1sythis is not a lot of snow, it’s so bad around his van because of the wind causing snow drifts. The same storm made a 12 ft tall drift behind my house, in front of my house the grass was visible. This guy wouldn’t be able to drive down the road at all if he was in a real blizzard.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. It did happen to me one time, luckily for me I had my phone on me I was in an area with good phone service and it was a recreation place that a lot of people were around,and the weather was not too cold or hot. But forever made me extra cautious in my many travels everywhere.

Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.
