Welcome along for another van life adventure out in the cold winter temperatures. This time I take my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon up into the Cascade Mountains where I find myself in sub-zero winter conditions. Even in these sub-freezing temperatures I manage to build a campfire and enjoy some time in the winter wonderland of Washington. Welcome on board this winter van life adventure.

I love your winter travels! This 61 year old, junior high school teacher, living in Florida will most likely never venture to many of the places you go ... but with your excellent photography and content, I feel well traveled! Keep up the great work!

Dear Michelle, I´m a 70 year young man, living in Wuppertal, Germany, I agree totally with you. Due to some severe health issues it is no longer possible for me to perform such adventures, but the more I love to watch the videos from Chad. He is one of those guys, who makes you not simply watch it, but to be a part of it! I´m so grateful for those those adventures, I love it very much. I wish you, Chad and all members of our community a happy New Year, yours Wolfgang. 👍🏻🍾🥂🎇🎆🍀✨👋🏻

@ahoyleisure Год назад

You don’t know how much i’ve needed this video today. It goes against everything they say you shouldn’t do to engage people on youtube. It’s slow paced with no talking until 18 mins in. I’m still trying to find my style and voice with my campervan videos and trying to enjoy the traveling whilst producing content. All the while learning to talk to camera without freezing. Massive thank you for making great videos Manchester UK ❤

@oldmillrd1506 Год назад

Every time I see you in your old VW Van heading up to Mt Baker it brings back so many memories. Me and my '87 VW tin top Syncro Van spent many nights up there with lots of Xcountry skiing and snow shoeing with friends. Now 73 those days seem far removed but your excellent presentations really help rekindle those days. Have a great New Year buddy.

@pattyburge655 Год назад

The peacefulness of the campfire against the backdrop of the fridge winter calms my mind like few other things can. When I've got a big decision looming, and I've not found clarity one way or another, sitting in front of a campfire, or if it's spring or summer, sitting on a boat in the middle of a big lake, both bring me calm and serenity .

@LivingTheVanLife Год назад

Very cool. Glad to hear that you find solidarity in it as well

@rolandnyiregyhazki378 Год назад

Hello Chad, First of all, Happy New Year! I found your channel about 3 years ago, then I quickly watched all the videos you uploaded before. I like all the content you make, but what I love most is these videos of you camping snowy places. There are some of them that I think I've looked at more than 20 times. Your "Van Life In The Arctic" videos are simply stunning! Just like the ones you put into some of the nature photos you took during your adventure. Thank you so much for all the work you put into creating these contents. I hope you'll be uploading a similar (or more) amount of videos to your channel in 2023.

@LivingTheVanLife Год назад

So glad to have you onboard, Roland! Yep, the winter videos seem to be the big hit. Stay tuned, more coming with another big trip in the planning. You are so welcome, thanks so much for watching- Cheers!

Hey Chad, Watched your videos since the inception of your channel. Never once commented, but always “liked”. Gotta say bro, you should be nominated for cinemetography and best docu-series hands down. The Artic adventure is something my family and I will watch every year. Keep it humble, and please continue the magnificant content that you continue to produce. Much appreciated. From Van B.C Happy 2023 bud🎉

Like to say towards the beginning and the end of the video at the 22nd minute mark I felt such serenity by gazing at this clear scenery of the trees with the snow everywhere and on the trees the music in the video set my mind drifting off and I felt calmness. I just wanted to tell you that. You're amazing with such talent and filming and putting the right music together to send us to another world.
