      I remember what happened to Chad. His last car before the van. The snow plough hit his car and destroyed it. There might be other plow drivers on the road. Also , other people could feel the same as you about the snow and want an adventure. It is better to be a little cautious and safer. You have many, many happy years traveling to go.

    Lots of fun. When I was young, I used to snow mobile in 7 feet of snow break trail with an elan snowmobile and use also an Artic track. Both had a wide wheel base.
    Just to do 20-mile runs into lakes to go ice fishing from 6 a.m. to around 5p.m. locations varied. No tent. The ice was so thick. 4 feet at times. We just bundled up with layers of clothing. I just loved the crunch of the snow and the wonderful silence miles away from civilization.

    I don’t like getting cold anymore but I sure do think that winter is the most beautiful season of all. I grew up where it snowed and as a kid could spend endless hours in it but age has a way of changing that to watching it from the window or UA-cam. Enjoying your winter videos and love your van set up. I like the lighting and its so clean.

      I live in MA, and once we got 5 feet of snow. I opened my front door to the porch and literally had to start shoveling because I couldn't get outside. Shoveled down the stairs, path to my car and all around my car with room. I had 2 sweatshirts, a stocking hat and gloves...it took 4 hours. I was sweating and freezing when I came in. Then for the last 3-4 years now...only some flurries. Not even enough to shovel. Go figure. They say we are supposed to get a lot of snow this winter but they said that last year and 1 day. When I saw him shoveling all that snow, that's all I could think about, lol.

      The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
      He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
      He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
      Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
      The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
      Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
      Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
      He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
      He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
      The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
      Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
      For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
      He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
      He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
      He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
      He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
      He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
      He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
      He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them.

    I was on the way to building out a Chevyvan 1-ton when covid came along, then life went sideways too soon. Needed two maybe three years of the job i was at to convert to 4wd and new big block drivetrain. Yukon just got new motor, chasing down disturbances. That was getting final once over when the van just quit. Dunno, timing chain most likely broke the cam. No money to do another motor. Sold it to the wrecking yard. Project over.
    I always loved it, being ina snowstorm, inside a warm vehicle, off call taxi, parked semi, just watching snow blow. Got buried in my semi over the hood all warm and cozy, still running, plenty food water power and plastic bags to place waste outside the window while watching TV and PlayStation, bs on the cb... LOL GREAT time.

    When you chopped up the onions it looked like you only used half. Cut the onion straight down the middle so that both halves have the roots still attached. Then just wrap the half you’re not gonna use and put it back in the fridge. It’ll last longer. Also, for you people that tear up when cutting an onion, after you cut it in half just run it real quick under cold water. Then you can cut it up without crying.

    Oh, also a word from experience - when a major snow storm is coming, it helps to put the chains on before going to sleep. A couple of years ago, near Alpine Lake, CA, the truck got buried not only by new snow but by the plow that pushed 4’ of snow against it. Digging out was hard, even harder because we didn’t have the chains on to help. Live and learn. Great adventure and video. Thx.

    When there is a lot of snow forecast, I use this trick, I put a flower cellophane film in a single sheet for all the windows in the cabin. If the camper is expected to be submerged, I also put cellophane on the bonnet attachment with the radiator grill, and I cover the air intakes at the base of the windshield, to improve the insulation of the engine. Finally I put two strips of cellophane on the ground next to the tires and in the morning I remove them to break up the snow that is on them. when I leave I will roll up all the films and reuse them when necessary. The cellophane prevents the glass from freezing and keeps the ground underneath warm.

    *_Wow, even if it snows when you go on an adventure with a campervan with facilities like this, it's definitely delicious, for me it doesn't matter what kind of adventure we want to go on an adventure with, the important thing is that we can channel our hobbies with what we can and have, that's right, my friends. Greetings from me Rudy Agustman (Outdoor Tutorial) from Indonesia... Always healthy and successful for you..._*

    That is the coolest van I've ever seen. I love this video. You're amazing.
    You should take a snowblower with you on adventures like this. When you get there for the night, just strap 'er on the roof, and have a ladder with it. When the morning snow is done, just drop 'er off the roof into the snow and start going from there. You can throw snow forty feet and not have to break a sweat.
    Keep up the great work!

I would like to say that you should definitely continue what you're doing. Your videos are as good or better than the other van camping videos with 1mil+ views. Your videos are top notch and will absolutely catch on soon enough.

  • @phxmateo

    If you are going to be in heavy snow fall areas, you need a regular snow shovel. The pooper scooper you have is why it took so long to shovel out your van. You could have done it with a regular show shovel in less than an hour.

  • @maryannanderson2213
    @maryannanderson2213 Рік тому +8

    I was absolutely amazed that you were able to get that van out of such deep snow so easily. Yes, I know you did a lot of shoveling but even so, I was wondering if you would have to have someone come and pull you out. You didn't. Good job! If I woke up and saw this much snow all around a vehicle of mine I think I would probably have heart failure so the fact that you took it like just a minor inconvenience was amazing. I live in Nashville and we sometimes go an entire winter and don't have any snow at all and it probably would take us accumulation from about 20 years to get this much snow.

    For the chains, next time you buy, I'd suggest spending a bit more and springing for the all chain construction. The ones with the cable sides always break in pretty short order. I inherited my mom's 23 year old vehicle. Had the same set of chains all these years and have had countless uses with zero issues.
    They're a little spendy, and tough to come by but WELL worth the investment if you do a lot of snow driving imo.
