Chad, a year ago last July, at 72 years old, I fell down a flight of stairs and broke my neck. I am now living in a wheelchair. I had hopes of traveling around the country to see some of the USA. I am lost for words at this moment in time. You are truly the best at what you do. Your video skills are first class and your music is soothing to my soul. I am living that van life thru you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wish I could meet you to thank you face to face. Tom Guertin

To make videography look so easy during a sunny day is one thing. To make it look like a crew is following you through search rough terrain is a step above. Truly talent

[@freeman-1776]

Not being able to sit around a campfire gave you time to focus on the finer details. Brother, this will be an award winning video. Way better than National Geographic. I can tell you after being a US Army Firefighter stationed for 4 years up at Ft. Wainwright in Alaska, that you will never forget your time there. You will look back with fondness knowing that you accomplished something few ever get a chance to do. Glad to see you had the chance to view the Norther Lights too. A toast to you brother. Cheers!

I really didn't think it was epic at all I think camping was Steve's camping in a roundabout video was better than this

To think that a guy in a van and a couple of cameras can make this incredible content and make billion dollar entertainment companies look like amateurs. Its just great…. Thanks Chad! Absolutely epic journey!

I'm sure the Hollywood types must really dislike this....

[@jebaited9612]

@@theadventurebiker they're too used to their priviledged mansions they'd never survive in an environment like this

[@theadventurebiker]

@@jebaited9612 Yes. Indeed. But that's not at all what I meant. In response to @Boontjes original comment I was referring to the Hollywood production executives etc in the TV & movie industry that produce multi million dollar productions and operate multi billion dollar production companies. I was referring to how they must really hate how one man in a van with a couple of consumer cameras and a drone can all by himself make the same (and arguably better) content that takes them months (or years), millions of dollars, and a production staff consisting of hundreds of people. They must feel really threatened how he can do this with such high production quality AND get it seen by hundreds of thousands or people with no marketing at all. That must really burn them up.

[@doloresrodriguez6715]

​@@jebaited9612 , You are absolutely right. The Hollywood people would never survive in this type of setting. Nor would they make the trip Chad has made.

[@kerstingeier9732]

I did that exact same trip from WA state to Tuk 17 years ago as a solo female from Africa in a VW hippie van but not in winter, rather just after the first frost on the Dempster Hwy. The colours of the trees and tundra turning were breathless and I took a month going up and returning via Alaska. In those days had to fly to Tuk from Inuvik. Remember eating whale blubber. One of the most beautiful trips I have ever done. Being from Africa, dont really fancy such cold, but can appreciate experiencing the beauty of winter from your video. PS. I swam in the Arctic Ocean where you camped!

17:35 Good god that scene is overwhelming! A human being wrapped up in all kinds of clothes and equipment, while the grass is there, growing and standing its ground, so quiet. Kinda reminded me of when the Trieste touched the ground of the Mariana Trench down in the Pacific, some 12 kms beneath the surface... and then the crew saw a bunch of fish moving around. Life sure knows how to "adapt and overcome" 😳

I had a Siberian husky growing up and we couldn't keep him inside when we went snow camping. We never got into the negative temps, but he would sleep outside in temps approaching near zero F. We freaked out one morning when we got out of our van in the morning and couldn't find him. A few seconds later he erupted from beneath the snow. He had been snowed over and had a little cocoon that kept him warm.

I am glad you found that dog it's home, I almost thought it was homeless, and maybe you could take it with you. I found a 3 week old Long Haired Jack Russell pup in winter in Australia, 100km down a no thru road, dumped at the end of that road. I rode down there on my pushy, going for a 2 week remote trip, but after finding that pup, stayed a night in the tent there, turned around and brought him home. Went to the vet a day later, got some shot's for him, and puppy milk, and he has been with me for the last 6 years. Most loyal dog, I have ever had. Comes on all my trips, actually everywhere, we are never apart. He is my service dog now, so he can come everywhere with me.. He doesn't like being away from me and frets if he is. It's a good thing you did for that pup you maybe saved it's life, the way it ate that rice, he was bloody hungry, and cold. Thanks for doing that for him..

Thank you for your kindness to him. Really, an awesome job on your videos. All of them. The last few years you’ve inspired us in ways that are too much to say here. I saw you in B’ham one day last summer (before you went south), we were next to you at a stop light in fairhaven. I wanted to wave at you but didn’t want to be “that” person.

Amazing trip! The scenery is beautiful and the northern light show was breathtaking! That van is a champ and appears to be a good investment. Thanks for taking us among. FYI, I would have taken the pup home. ☺️. By the way, movie quality - you got mad skills.

Wow, what a great film. I'm truly inspired. Words fail me, I've just watched all three episodes and I'm genuinely moved.

Huge fan of the channel. I only just started watching you yesterday. but you're living my dream I'm 19 and doing van life. I only have a mini van for now but I built a bed frame and drawers and all that. I think the coolest part is I can decide on everything. where do I wanna sleep, where do I feel like traveling to today. Should stay local or leave the state. It's so awesome living freely. no rules, no commitments no one to tell you not to do something. I think after 18 years of living with a curfew, keeping up with chores, having to do everything other people say. it's nice that I can I be where the hell I want for however the hell long I want.

*The awesome thing is, seeing all of these camera angles and knowing what you do to get the shots is insane! As cold as it was you still got out and set up the shots and made it great!* 👍🏽

One of the things that amazed me, other than the production value and fantastic scenery, was that the drone he used was able to function in those temps. Certainly a high end machine, as opposed to one of the cheap "hobby models" that some use.
