Join along for an adventure up in the North Cascade mountain range of Washington State near Mount Baker. I take my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Campervan into the back country and cook a delicious gourmet meal over a campfire using firewood.

While the world is falling apart you’re out here living the good life..I envy you man
No. Living the van life. You obviously can't read
N0t0ri0us Good life/ van life it’s all relative..Go back under the bridge troll.
My master is calling me anyways human!!
@@zone6theohiostate119 Learn to take a joke
Thanks to DeWhiner and Comrade Amy Acton we're only half open in Ohio..
Trying to figure out why this is so relaxing - I think it’s the sound, the crystal clear noises of the fire, chopping etc
That,my friend ,is the sound of true PEACE🌈🌻💗
The sound of nature
True man....
It's the connection to nature. Modern city living is killing our souls.
Got to disconnect to reconnect!
the moment he starts eating with that music on feels so wholesome
Song?
I already liked the video when the music started playing, with the drone camera on the amazing scenery
This video completely relaxed me after a shitshow of a day.
Watch the one where he makes his favorite soup or a camp fire pizza.
Michael Pellegrino It’s why I love watching his videos. I love his calm demeanor and his explained life wisdom 😊 And those drone shots 😍🙌🏻 I can’t wait to hit up Washington when my van is done!
i hear ya man
billyfromtheusa It’s a 3500 Ram Promaster cargo van that’s being turned into an off grid monster 😁

Never fails....1am, tired and ready for bed then BOOM "welcome aboard to van life"
Remember, the tomatoe sauce acidity will eat on the cast iron seasoning. So, be certain to flash season upon cleanup. 😊
Long Live Cast Iron. 😎😎
Oh and Lola man I love when she takes off with the fire wood
Yeah lola such a good dog and it's cute when she does those
How adorable!! Chad has a sassy pants on his hands
A sweet little trick for those pesky mosquitos and flys. A bag of wood pellets the type doesn't matter. Then get citronella oil About 2 gallons worth per bag mix the oil with the pellets they will expand back into sawdust just mix up a 5 gallon bucket per batch add enough oil to a bucket to break up the pellets when at camp sprinkle the sawdust around the perimeter just throw out by the handfuls it drives those little pests out of camp for about 2 weeks then dissipates and is good for the enviroment as the oil dries up and the sawdust breaks down. 1 bucket lasts almost a year and I camp alot.
Gonna have to try that!
Gloves deffinatley help though stuff will get on your hands lol I'm just wash with soap and it comes off.
@@chinacreek1 Brilliant! Thanks for the life hack.
@My Life Is Dog Hair Great name; My life is dog hair. 🐺😂😂😂😊😎 thanks for the smile. I needed this. 😊😎
Cool little van
20:39 When your own meal leaves you speechless, you KNOW it's good! 😋
I always tell people..."camping can be miserable, but it doesn't have to be." Your video proves my point. Well done Sir.
If camping is misserable for somebody then they probably shouldnt be outside in the first place. Probably not very outdoorsy.
They aren't doing it right if they are miserable
I've camped at Pismo Beach. It was miserable only because my friend didn't know how to put up a tent.
@@kennethvance8896 🤣
If you are traveling with a backpack instead with a van, then yes, it's miserable, at least for me..
24:29 U FORGET YOUR CAMERA CHAD..I LOVE THE VIBE U GIVE.IT MAKES ME FEEL HOW BEAUTIFULL LIFE IS.GOD BLESS U BRO.LOVE FROM INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I also own an old VW Bus, I have been owing it for 18 years now. It was my first car and will be my last. Sometimes, I drove in the middle of nowhere or to a lake just to sit there and sleep in my van. I always thought, that I‘m a strange person because of that. But now „vanlife“ is a thing, but you can‘t just jump on it - it‘s a lifestyle, something you carry in you, something you gotta feel. Thank you for making this videos! I really feel with you.
Hey Chad, thanks for clarifying on the axe - I always wondered why you used the knife! Great point about accuracy though. Another fantastic video that takes me away from the mundaneness of life, until I can get back out in the wild again. All the best pal!
Mark J - Hey just reading your comment. There are times when he pulls out the axe. Example tree across road. I do not thing he has a chainsaw. But he did use the axe.
@@danielsweeney6742 Chad is awsome man... i love the music he puts in the background
I'm an axe man for all my fireplace wood, but I gave to admit his method works dandy for a small amount of kindling for his purposes. It would get real tedious with an axe to cut up those real small pieces.
@@drott150 I use a kukri for chopping wood not too bad. don't know if ill use it when I get up their in age though
I honestly feel that the world does not deserve Chad and Lola. But here he is. Cherish him, folks.
Well siad!😉
I don’t know how much higher you could go without touching the face of God. There’s something spiritual about that mountain it’s the look of peace,tranquility, something you can’t fake or deny it’s existence. I love this video it was touching me thru your vision. Nice meal glad you enjoyed it. This was a very special place just observing from all the other videos I’ve seen from you. This one really stood out!
That dog loves being with you. He's with you then he's one happy dawg.
Omg the dog had me cracking up 😂
your content never disappointed ❤️
Gay.
Bill Clifton WTF
@@rizzdz5162 gay.
That echo when you where snapping the wood on your knee.
There so many other camping channels BUT this GENTLEMAN is charismatic And I just feel so relaxed 😌 anytime I have my dinner watching a video! I am sad 😞 that I am about to finish watching all d videos!! 😎NO PROBLEM they worth watching another Time 😍
That lasagna looked sooo good.......and lola with her scene was hilarious, gotta love a man's best friend
Accomplishing something you've never done before brings a sense of satisfaction and breeds confidence for whatever may come your way. I got the same solo stove recently. Perfect fit under the jump seat of my '71 Westfalia. 🤙
Chad, we all know you're a great cinematographer!! Probably the best of any Van life channel! But please don't forget the part about van life! We don't need tons of B roll and drone footage to enjoy your adventures. If it makes you happy then forget what I said. Your content is great! Please keep it coming!
I enjoy each video you thoughtfully procure. You have reacquainted our souls back to the pureness and simplicity of nature. Your drone footage enables my wings to fly since the pandemic has kept them grounded. Your receipes are flavorful and easy to recreate. Merci Mucho and Cheers to your next adventure!
Now something for you:

Hey Chad, we’ve been watching your adventures from the Gold Coast in Australia. Got to say, really enjoy your travels. 👍
That looks really good. I would of loved to have some toasted garlic bread with that. Yummy. Glad to see you have your friend with you to keep you company. I live in Maryland we have some beautiful places here also. Amazing video and scenery. I wish I had a way to get out and around like you do. I am on SS. Heck I can't even afford a car. Love your videos Chad. Ty for taking me along on your journey
Where in maryland? I'm central eastern shore !
@@michaelforrester9963 western shore. Middle River area. Nice to meet you.
Tasted garlic bread!! Absolutamente
Lola the best camping buddy ❤️💙❤️
How can this or any of his video's have dislikes? I don't understand that. Just goes to show that there is people in this world that absolutely hate life and living it. Your filming skills are truly amazing, Chad. Every time I'm watching one of your video's, it ends too quickly. Keep on truckin'!
I think there is a group of unhappy people out there doing this to a lot of youtube content producers . I have seen about the same number of dislikes for dozens of great videos.I bet if there was a way to check you would find they do not watch the video ,just open push dislike and move on to the next one .
Anything that you can cook in a conventional oven you can cook in a Dutch oven
Thank you for legendary content.
Much love. ✌🏻
" Almost heaven " John Denver Thanks Chad, I remember when you first started out and
now you are going 💪🏻 ☮ out
Nature, cooking, and your dog…what more could you ask for?….well done Chad!
The most satisfyuin thing about this video was Chad pulling the lasanga out of the Dutchy and it coming out PERFECTLY
And it was sooo good! Thanks for watching!
Must have missed that terrible dent in the right rear quarter panel. Bit of rust so it must have happened awhile ago. Another awesome video and beautiful weather. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Glad to see Lola is back.
Glad to see you are having a great time, the weather has bee beautiful and I really love the night time-lapse. Keep on trucking
Anyone else watch this videos just to relax at the end of a long day? Cuz that’s me
Watching you makes me feel alive, Chad. Thank you.
Just spent a couple of hours cooking with all the mod cons and now I think I'll go buy a Dutch oven 😊
Almost 400k I started watching at around 150🌪
Can we get Chad to 1M? Who's with me
All I got to say is, your messaging about life is spot on, amen brother and keep the wisdom coming.
To The Person Who’s Reading This I Love U I Promise, I Don’t Have Room To Hate. 💕💯

Love you too
That lasagna deserves some good red wine, my friend ;).
These videos are getting unreal. Man he's killing it
I don't understand how this dude is able to cook out in the wilderness so calmly without worrying of attracting bears, mountain lions, or sasquatches!
These videos are so therapeutic, I love them. Thank you.

This guys energy is everything that is right with the world. Earned a subscriber!
I am (what I consider to be ) one of the ones lucky enough to be living similarly and enjoying the van life up in Washington...but I still love your videos and look forward to each one.
Your outlook on life, the cooking, the cinematics of each film, and everything else really are a positive part of my life each week. Thanks man.
07:32 Your hat is looking good ! May I know your hat that you wear on! please share the brand! thank you! :)
Chad, always enjoy takin' in your little adventures.
One question....
Where's the Garlic toast?
Gotta have Garlic toast with Lasagna.
Not having Garlic toast with Lasagna, is like having a hot dog or a hamburger without a bun.
Just sayin'....
Peace out.
He watches his carbs.😉💕💞
Peace to mind
Watching from hospital in the highlands of Scotland after major surgery....these videos are awesome thanks for making my day better....stay safe
Obviously brilliant, but the skillshare promotion was brilliant, passionate and felt like it came from the heart
I told my husband I was thinking of buying a small escape camper and just hiding in the woods. Thank you for the beautiful scenery. Stay safe!
Gay.
Bill Clifton Your comment is unnecessary. I am not gay nor ever will be. I have been happily married for 15 years to a man so please don't disrespect Chad's channel by putting on a comment like that. Thank you.
@@kathbeth43 not you. The van guy..gay
Bill Clifton - oh okay. LOL. I'm sorry. LOL. My bad.
As always, a great video.
I have been dutch oven cooking for 30 years. Won awards and had a blast making people smile with tasty food.
Good times my brother.
I love when u bring your dog 🐕 😍.
One thing I'd like to point out, even though Chad has a gun to 'protect himself'. The best protection you can buy is wilderness knowledge. Don't cook next to your camp site. Bad things can happen. Always store ANY scented item 50 feet or so away from your sleeping area in a bear proof container. If we respect them they will be around for our kids to see. If we act like John Wayne and cook and store food at our came site with a side arm well then bears and other animals will not be around for your kids generation. I'm not pointing any fingers but thought I'd just put it out here and if one person sees this and acts differently then it made my 2 mins of typing completely worth it. (Same goes for gutting fish or refuse piles from hunters)
Unfortunately human beings are scented items. I don't think he's in Grizz country, calm down.
And your solution for the "two legged" vermin is what exactly?
@@drott150 Who said anything about Brown Bears? Maybe do a bit of research before jumping in, www.fs.usda.gov/visit/know-before-you-go/bears
@@jeffwise3851 Why would you need a gun for vermin? I think you misunderstood my comment. If you you're talking about shooting people then you should really save the cash rather than buying a gun and hire a therapist.
@@JClark2600 If life's that scary for you, why don't you just stay at home with your kids with a mask on and hide in the basement? Some people are afraid and "concerned" about everything.
One would think you've gotten stuck somewhere, if so, how did u get out.
I literally WOW'ed out loud when you've opened your dutch oven to reveal that golden brown crust.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
@@LivingTheVanLife Chad Do you know the music at the beginning of this video? My Dad passed away last Summer and he loved watching your channel but loved the music at the beginning and end of this video. Just curious if you know the name?
MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!! Been 50 years since I’ve been to my home state. Sure do wish I could see it in person again BUT at least I have your vids to show me my home state.
Never been a big fan of lasagna but I have to say, that lasagna looks like money!👌
Who doesn’t like lasagna? You’re a disgrace to Greeks and Italians.
Can you tell me what hat your wearing when you were cutting wood and talking about your knife?
FrancoGiorgione he has everything listed in the description box at the top.
@@Ella-zd4gp its not there, I've been asking for a month or 2 now lol
@@FrancoGio Yeah, I am also curious, I've been asking for the chair he uses and the hat. Maybe he doesn't want to reveal all his details.
@@johnsamsonjr6170 lol
jewish hat
I feel like a creeper because I've commented on several of your videos....I promise I'm not one haha. I just love watching your videos....they're "predictable" NOT in a boring way....start off with gorgeous videography of amazing landscapes....then making kindling....building a lovely fire....then making an epic meal (THIS one blows my mind).....then fire- and star-gazing...then more videography/photography of the night sky, maybe with a mug of whiskey....all so SIMPLE, which I LOVE....and yes it's work but it's not mindless work. Kudos to you Chad. You've an inspiration for sure. P.S. I'll be trying this method of lasagne making once I'm a vanlifer (in 2021)....only difference is I'll make my own pasta as that's one luxury item I'm definitely taking with me, my pasta maker.
9:00 the voice of fire - I love it
I got myself a t4 camper just from watching your vids 👍. Time to spend some quality time away with the family
Nice! That is awesome!
Wow, you knocked another one out of the park. I do want to say I watch as much to hear your philosophies and life attitudes as I so for the scenery and the food. Keep doing you sir, you are an amazing man.
Chad - you keep pushing the limits and outdoing yourself. Beautiful scenery. Wonderful view fro your roof tent. Simply amazing.
Enjoy your life,cooking and Nature.
Thank you. Good to see Lola. Take care.
Chad, your videos is the highlight of the week. So nice to watch you prepare those nice meals in the wilderness. Greetings from Sweden.
You have one of the most wholesome communities i've seen
The time lapse and transition... ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos are one of the very few ways of me escaping this crazy world right now. Thank you.
Your dog taking your stuff😂😂 love it
Love the cooking, the nature and the beautiful scenery...so stunning
Becareful when camping outside at night bro,You’ll never know what’s coming..Usually after 7-8 pm i will stay inside the van
I think Solitude are the Best👍😊. Away from the stress of City life and Amazing Nature.
Your meals are epic! I like that you eat well to end the day. I don't care for camping when people eat twigs and berries to finish the day because they have no imagination. You're doing it right Chad!
Best outdoor living videos on UA-cam. Been watching you for awhile now and it never gets old!
I can't wait for the winter months to come back!
I love your dog Chad I am so glad u guys get the time to share with each other. Man and there dogs.
Absolutely surreal
Hey Chad, I once commented on one of your videos that I’m a city man. Living in Philadelphia, PA. I’ve been enjoying your outdoor life all summer long.. I’ve never experienced your mountain man life.. But when I do I will remember all the advice you have provided.. Especially the Dutch Oven, and all the other accessories you use to make it right for a well prepared vanogon life..
Truly wonderful
These videos bring me so much peace 🖤
Thank you! I needed to hear your wise words 💯🍻
Jesus man, that was beautiful. You've got a new subscriber here. I've managed to go back to your older videos and to see how well you're doing nowadays and how you have most astonishingly improved, is amazing. Good luck and have fun on your adventures, man! I'll be following you indefinitely!
Thank you, thank you, thank you
We get ourselves so busy that we don't even have time to enjoy outdoors. When I see him enjoying an outdoor life just watching his videos does relax me. Thank you.
What could be better: fresh air, far from noisy cities, nice cooking, van life)
This is pure heaven 😍
TRULY THE BEST you tube channel for escape - Thanks for going over, above and beyond for us people who are struggling with life at this point in time!
beyond the kitchen Chad I'm jealous of your beautiful playground! my wife and I have been traveling by van through europe for many years and it is rare here to find such fantastic bivouacs And landscapes. Your videos are fantastic we love it , take care.
My canine child Patrice watched with me. Recently we have decided to venture out and see the country next spring. Your lasagna looked heavenly as well as the mountains and your sweet pupster. Like others stated, very relaxing! Goals!
I will say it again!! You are quite the inspiration!! I absolutely love your videos and the outlook you ha e on life.. Great job, stay safe, and keep on truckin'!!
Gorgeous shot of Mount Baker. Wow.
The drone shot around 4:40 is exceptional
The sound at min. 4:00...pls!You are awesome bro, this means LIFE!!!
Love your videos, always make me feel free and peaceful.
I think this is my favourite video to date. The aerial shots of the soundtrack are absolutely beautiful. Not to mention watching a man that is beginning to find himself. Cheers Chad that was pure bliss. Andy from London England.
I get so excited when I see you have a new video. It adds so much to my day.
