Winter Storm In The Mountains - Living The Van Life

[@tuftedoge7262]

Didn't expect to be greeted by Chad drifting the sprinter, but I'm all for it!

[@michaelmanese2228]

Me either‼️😮

[@irishdefense77]

Fun to watch,but God forbid you lost it and wrecked the Van-no more home..

[@faceup9257]

Didn't expect to prepare food in an air fryer after lighting up a camp fire over a griller. 😂 No hard feelings... just enjoyed the hard turn 😅

[@thomasquigley7040]

Send it!!!

[@sydneycbr]

Would have been better if he had flipped it and wrecked it.

[@judyeuller7602]

Thank God there are people like you that I can live through vicariously. 😊 I'm 82 and too old and too timid to do what you do. So, thank you.

[@eddielittle1644]

I'm 76, Ditto

[@darkprose]

Judy, I’m in my 40s, but I’m right there with you, everything you said.

[@devjyoti1987]

Maam for me you also an inspiration. My age is 37... But i want to enjoy out of stress

[@cobraspottedwolf8791]

Winter camping is how I found you years ago and I still love these videos!

[@johnnySMALLpepper]

SAME BUD

[@marusholilac]

I'm in Virginia. This is February 2024. The only way I have to enjoy winter is via KZbin, so thanks. We haven't had winter for 8 years.

[@hiddenleafshinobi2608]

In east Tennessee, we got 13 inches dropped on us overnight. Count your blessings lol

[@micheleparker3965]

I'm in VA also. No winter at all 😢😢😢

[@shaneabulg6746]

Fredericksburg VA here, boring winter so far

[@shaneabulg6746]

In VA also no weather

[@shaneabulg6746]

Southern VA

[@magneto9555]

First time I’ve seen someone drifting their whole crib 😂 respect ✊

[@shaneabulg6746]

Always makes the day better when a new LTVL with Chad drops mental comfort, been subscribed for a long time never disappoints

[@knekia75]

Tip: you can save yourself time & hassle… invest in Air fryer liners or use parchment paper. It’s easy, and doesn’t leave stuck food or crumbs. Simply throw it away, when you’re done. No cleaning… especially when cooking meats!

[@LivingTheVanLife]

Love this idea. Thanks for sharing!

[@lilyLily1824]

Good call! I use those lot ez clean up!

[@edwardlattimer3238]

Serious question: When you're up in the mountains, have you ever witnessed anything strange as in wildlife and airiel phenomenon, you're doing something most people don't have the courage to do, I have to say you have inspired me to get out in the countryside of my home near Scotland in the UK, cheers for that 👍

[@smartclock727]

Thanks for another vid. I seriously think this is the best quality channel in existence

[@goldfinger180024]

I never cease to be amazed at what that van can do and what you can do with it Chad.

[@jackkinser7215]

could not be more comforting safe and warm in a snow storm!

[@CaroleFrenchFox]

Will never get tired of the beautiful winter landscapes of the Pacific North, Chad films and shares with us. ❤

[@bertiefox4346]

Bloody hell 😳 look at that Sprinter Van drifting 😂

[@capichow]

😂

[@bizzybee019]

More love. From kenya...youtube.com/@bizzybee019?si=wfdRpDpew87yewYC

[@elyas-tavakkoli]

DRIFTING with such big car on ice -- I was blown away for few seconds 😅😅😅 I love this Guy -- saying hello from an old follower before sprinter joined us ❤❤❤

[@jamesoldman3021]

As a person that has lived all his life where we get snow every winter I loved seeing you doing your drifts. It's a shame that some may criticise you for doing it. The main thing is when you hit that icy corner you will know how to control the vehicle. Just turned 84 and have to say my memory cells are not good enough to remember how many thousands of vehicles over the years I have seen hit the snowbank because they did not know how to steer out of it. Don't know how I missed this one. Thanks for all your videos.

[@claudemartin5264]

Your channel just makes me love life...thankyou so much Chad.

[@mohammadsohaibiqbal3055]

Drifting the sprinter??!! 😂😂😂 that was the most unexpected and awesome intro. I spat my Dr. Pepper out, I'm weak laughing 😂😂

[@lda7473]

Glad you discovered the joys in air fryer...It is so convenient, fast & easy to clean. Much appreciate your shared journey in these adventures. Stay safe,specially on those icy roads.

[@jrraven3230]

I ❤ how you like the older tv/ movies ...... me too😊 still rewatching the Little House series 😊

[@nataliehirstflores4376]

You push and test the boundaries in all you do! Awesome! ❤

[@littlebryan2367]

That intro was wild 😂🤩 love it

[@ZekeCao]

I have this exact grill I picked up from Walmart during one of our road trips down to California from Oregon and it was the only portable one available during 4th of July. It's lasted me multiple times the last 2 years. I'm really impressed.

[@MattHalpain]

Even though I'm 9 months late to view this video, I am grateful you have roots and memories in the WA Cascade Mountains as I am a Washingtonian by birth.

[@randomrob2221]

Sick driftttttt

[@tommanning7337]

The air fryer is the only way I make wings now, I’m hooked!!!! 😎👍🏻👍🏻

[@ramblingrosie3762]

Buy some air fryer basket liners, cuts down your washing up. Just use and throw away. ❤❤❤❤

[@AndyXyloto]

What a nice winter wonderland. I’m a little bit jealous about the road conditions with the snow and the opportunity for drifting. Thanks for the video 🙏 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@raresubstance]

I’ve watched this a few times. Keep coming back too it 😊

[@suezaple4950]

Phenomenal scenery through the mountainous area the pines were so heavy with snow but gorgeous. as always tasty food , Thanks for bringing us with you .

[@Jeditilt]

That last shot of your setup of the front of the van in the dark was sweet! Good stuff!

[@melissalane-q7m]

Stunningly beautiful snow scenes! Will have to watch again and again - so gorgeous! Loved the cooking segment! Great video! Crazy snow driving!

[@dylantroy]

Awesome new to your channel take care and be safe Chad

[@harvclog]

ive used a small charcoal grill as a makeshift firepit multiple times, works pretty well and if it can stand hot cooking coals no reason it wont work for fire coals!

[@princessanniepio9833]

Shookt by the drifting intro😳

[@akshitkaundal8459]

Chad u know one thing just go to the best places and cook with all your heart that’s what the main reason people love to watch you u will be at the top in youtube if u do this

[@LifeWithLeMaige]

Chad, u always make splitting wood look so gosh darn easy!

[@davidandrews8963]

IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THE VAN AND ALL THE MOD CONS IVE DONE THIS IN NORWAY IN A TENT ⛺ AND THAT WAS AN EXPERIENCE AND SOME 🤘♥️🌎

[@nancyschad2969]

Oh my goodness! Absolutely loved the winter snow landscape footage! How was Death Valley? I visited US National Parks in 2023 and had hope to visit there, but the park was closed due to storm damage. Blade Runner ---loved, loved and loved that movie.

[@Rev1Kev]

Just like the old days of drifting the Vanagon up the mountain

[@johnkennedy3867]

Something so calming and peaceful about watching a good fire

[@stuntdriver2147]

Use parchment paper in your simple airfryer… makes clean up a snap !

[@mjcoffmanphb]

What was the weather app that you were using in the beginning of your video?

[@SHWELL11]

I'd love to know as well

[@FBIbeats]

Beat start to a video ever! Loved this! ❤❤

[@BionicLesbian]

I freaking love love love brussel sprouts 💚🥬

[@TheTexasDuke]

Subbed for the drifting

[@calvinmarshall1610]

Cool video chad I miss the old van sometimes I must admit

[@toisummergracehaynes8401]

Salute Chad, Thank You for sharing this Beautiful Winter Mountain Journey. I am sipping on Hot Chocolate enjoying the scenery its a cozy vibe... ☃️❄️🌨☃️❄️🌨☃️❄️

[@sarelalberts8890]

Hi Chad I think you need a camping chair . Or did you just forgot your's at home . Thanks for sharing your Van life with us ..

[@bradrook3919]

This my home... foothills of Mt. Rainier. I too lived in SW Utah for the past two years in the desert. I came back home this year and am looking forward to snow showing into the range this coming winter to hot tent camp...I love it! Great to be back home...for those that haven't tried this you cannot find a quieter or more peaceful place.. especially if it's snowing...nice vid.!

[@RyanHimenes]

This is the best one brother !!! The ending was actually incredible also.

[@ulfbrommelhorster1490]

Really great. A winter storm warning for the pacific nothwest and the conclusion is… go for it !

[@donerickson7155]

I like the firewood bag. Good idea

[@bigdaddysnaynay]

I just like to say I like watching your content like this. I would love to do what your doing. I must say the Ariel drone shot are absolutely stunning the white capped trees and the cabin was picture perfect. Take care and keep warm

[@heidia6270]

Your reaction to the air fryer is funny. I love mine too! Love your videos as always Chad. Beautiful landscaping and your editing is amazing. The little firepit, aka grill, worked out great!!

[@manuelg3244]

Drift mode on🎉

[@LeahWriter]

Great idea for a campfire. Going to do that with my bbq. Thanks!

[@EthanCasner]

"I've made it up to the... noots... ack river valley..." What i hear is you've made it up to "The Nutsack River Valley" XD Fellow solo van-lifer (though i'm in an LMTV and not a Mercedes) and I will never not give your videos a thumbs up because you are, in fact, doing solid work for all of us as a people.

[@jasonstag6971]

You should take some of those beautiful pictures that you took and make a calendar ..

[@lilyLily1824]

Spokane, WA here, I absolutely love the snow! I actually live north west of Spokane. Here we have our own micro climate and we get a lot more snow than Spokane. I can’t wait to get my van! I live in a barn, in the country, I have 5 acres so it is so magical when I wake up in my yard and forest is covered like marshmallows. I’m like a little kid! Time to get out the blower and blow my 350’ driveway or wez aren’t going anywhere! My 165# Pyrenees is laying in the snow until you can’t see her. She does not care. She loves it. I came east from the Olympic Penn. not a regret! Love it here! Enjoy your channel so much. I was happy to see you on Nikki/Campers Channel. So fun. Enjoy. Be safe! ❄️🌨️ Hope to get to Alaska too. Loved those videos. Your film making is so enjoyable! Be good!

[@user-cw7fq1pf9h]

This area looks close to what you showed wayback with the vw I’ve enjoyed your videos over the years

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Chad. This video has OG vanagon vibes when you drifted the Sprinter Van coming along side of it I feel like I could see the vanagon drifting beside it this video really has OG vanagon vibes all over it from the drive up to the campfire to the delicious meal the spirit of the OG vanagon is right there along for the adventure. Thanks for letting us ride along with you on your epic adventures.

[@flysky6248]

I am always happy to see Chad is happy.

[@SK-vk7gv]

This video reminds me of Chad's older videos where he used to cook on his dutch oven.

[@user-pr9pq8en2d]

I was gonna say that.

[@monac9459]

I was truly blessed to take an assignment on Whidbey from April to December a few years ago and I was doubly blessed to get to explore every thing from Mt Hood to Mt Baker to the coast. I have driven that road that Chad has driven, Ive stood where he is camped and Im telling you right now I feel it is one of the most beautiful place in our country. The PNW is a nature lovers paradise. Now here I am in Idaho on assignment and its snowing right now so a grilled cheese with turkey on sourdough sounds just about right for lunch today....however I wont be drifting like chads inner teenager did.....🥰

[@X22662]

Big fan From India 🇮🇳😊

[@ratroddiesels1981]

i like the cooking parts ,that air fryer is cool.i like your screen with blade runner ,and your dashboard computer weather graphics , that blanket looked warm .

[@MrReese]

These are the videos I watch when I am curled up in bed at night :). Blade Runner is the perfect movie to fall asleep to - it even makes me fall asleep when I am not tired 😄.

[@dollarsigns5427]

Man I love a turkey Mayo and Pickle Sandwich..You made me hungry!!..Man I absolutely love your videos they are amazing & I appreciate you sharing your journey with us!!

[@SuziPoozi]

Can't beat a good ole turkey sammich! I know everyone loves the air fryers, but if I'm taking up counter space, but I'm going to upgrade my toaster oven for one that is a convection and air fryer as well. I've been using a toaster oven forever and cooking the same things just like the air fryer, but you can also cook pizzas and everything else in it, plus there is more space inside. It's more multi-purpose than an air fryer and it's nice to have the glass to see through.

[@weid1888]

There slides on the van were awesome!!!

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

I have that same grill - it's 8 years old and still going strong. For $10 it's been a great camping grill. I have even perked a pot of coffee on a few times. Nice outing in the snow. We are looking at Leavenworth Washington, Crescent City California or Vancouver Washington for relocation. I can't wait to go exploring.

[@twistedavalanche737]

Chad I really love watching your videos great content and very informative and fun to watch I have been watching your videos since you started your channel keep up the great work and be safe brother

[@TheSmallsRVAdventures]

Great video Chad

[@sandellan]

[@shahus8611]

Drifting moment was cool!

[@BayouBro]

Drifting the sprinter crazy, but cool as hell. 👍🏻

[@MrOccyc]

Thank you for taking us on your adventure.

[@Gunny_101st]

Last time, Silverado. This time, Blade Runner. Two of my all time favs. Outstanding!

[@ИванПервушкин-х6р]

You are the best wanlife presenter! I've been watching your channel for 2 years. Greetings from the Russian Federation.

[@mathewwahl8592]

Lets talk about that bad Ass knife. You beat the crap out of it

[@David-ce7hg]

Keep up the great work

[@piyushbais6880]

That drift was awesome... Love from India ( Bharat )🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@cassandrasruhan5246]

Love your video ❤snow absolutely beautiful.Love the van😮

[@chrisaaron7994]

Great videos as always. I sense the peace and serenity. God bless you

[@langley1400]

When I saw you lay the bread down, I thought okay were having avocado toast. BUT the mayo comes out and I was like WHAT is Chad having a regular sandwich) 😳👏👏👏🤣🤣 it looked great! Enjoyed the video, beautiful views!

[@seaalien]

I recently purchased an air fryer and it is the best appliance I have ever used! Love it! I bought air fryer liners from Temu which really help with clean up.

[@HolisticPatriots]

I wonder if some sort of snow plow mounted on the front might be a good idea for these snowy roads?

[@mitzioden4926]

Interesting adventure! You're a brave soul venturing out in those storms. Your cooking looked good as well.

[@4803heights]

So glad I found your channel. You are probably the coolest guy I've ever met on KZbin, learning alot.

[@nubeamco]

Yeah, I remember this spot where you made with your Westfalia, that's one one of my favorite!

[@muppet400]

Hey Chad. Loved the snow drifting at the start. 😂 Where’s your Solo stove?

[@0708scott]

The scenery is absolutely breath taking! What knives are you using... both outdooring and cooking?

[@abucklife]

The og winter van life creator 👌

[@3802er]

100% that drift intro should be the start to all your videos from now on!

[@frednichols7996]

Yes, I do believe it will make it through the night

[@DarrenBoxhall]

Nice driving! Subscribed

[@sophisticat3d_savag3]

I use the little disposable grills and the cheaper ones all the time to make s’mores on an impulse for my kiddos. It’s a way of keeping it contained, and it’s easy to store or dispose of. I put a piece of heavy duty foil in the bottom since there’s no ash tray to make cleanup a little easier. I have a portable and collapsible fire pit I got off Amazon for $30-ish that stays with all my camping gear and works well for the money when I need to keep warm or cook. #ThanksForSharing #QualityContent #SafeTravels 🚐💨💨💨

[@User-uq1pj]

Now this is the Living the van life content I signed up for that long time ago!

[@wt9653]

Saw you backing the van through deep snow next to the rock wall. The next scene when you got out. The deep snow has been plowed and flat. 😮 magic. 😂

[@SpikedVanlife]

I built my low roof van for cast iron frying pan dishes on propane stove, and campfire dutch ovens but if i ever have to rebuild my van, i'll be putting in a RV propane stove.. don't think i'll want anything more than my 400w inverter. keeping all my power for freezer/fridge/laptop otherwise i would need to drive more than 2 hours a day just to charge the batteries up! but air fryer would be a nice addition though if we could put more than 1000w of solar on the roof lol
