So let’s see… he is in a AWD camper with chains. He seems to be well stocked. He’s in a place where the plows come by. There are open facilities. He has heat and shelter. He has tools, shovels. Take a lesson in preparedness, enjoy your adventures. Be safe
He is well prepared that's for sure. I used to explore some remote places to and the best thing I ever purchased was my EPURB so if your in trouble you can get help.
I see a lot of channels use storms and weather as clickbait. Maybe a little rain or snow but not a blizzard or horrid storm they say in the titles. Yours was not clickbait! What a storm! Huge blizzard! Kudos! Loved the video. Thanks
I live in a soft climate, so it great to see extremes. In Tasmania we get snow, but it's still fun to slip into the mountains camping. We just have to hike to get there
You’re so right. Recently, I saw a video where a guy claimed that he was camping out in temperatures of -45. It’s not that I’m calling that other guy a liar … it’s just that the lake that he was next to wasn’t even frozen over, there was no snow nor hoar frost on the ground, or on any of the trees … They must think that their viewers are absolutely stupid and believe anything that they say. But yeah, I’ve seen this guy tackle some epic blizzards … he’s never exaggerated about the weather to get clicks, it’s always been the real deal as far as storms go.
A reminder to treat your door seals with silicone spray or stick and tent zippers with wax. Nothing worse than being trapped inside and not being able to get out or in.
My brain for some reason didn't process the beginning of the sentence, I thought the 'seals' was talking about the aquatic animal.. I was so very confused. Hahaha
I love our built out Ford van. It is our 4th build. My husband is a retired home builder so these have been fun for him. The sense of shelter anywhere you go is wonderful. Bed, food, toilet and even hot shower. We have traveled the USA in 5 or so trips. Am hoping for one more but cancer getting the better of me now.
What I like mostly about this van, and what makes it different from the others, is the fact it is completely safe/ closed, so when you are inside, in the wild and unkonwn places surrounded with God knows which kind of threat, you can relax.
After watching this channel for a few years, I know that you love big snow storms. So, when I heard about the blizzard coming, I knew there was no chance you would miss this. I think the storm lived up to and more than expected!
Now it is August, the heat and humidity are literally killing me, so I watch wonderful videos of snow such as yours. But yours is truly the BEST!!!! Your personality, the easy-going way that you see things, the fun things you do...I see me 40 years ago before I got so sick. Keep going my friend!
I'm sitting here with a heat advisory too. We've hit 100+ several days in a row. The snow looks wonderful. All I was thinking when he'd get out for the bathroom was, " you should've parked closer to the building." Ha! The Sequoias sequence was amazing. That took alot of work to place cameras and then retrieve them. So beautiful!
Waxing your skies with an iron, 😊 nice. One note to anyone who like to camp in the snow be careful running your car, it could asphyxiate you. Make sure your tail pipe is clear to get enough fresh air. This was quite a storm.
@@kathy9314 how can this happen. Your in the car and the exhaust is outside??? You don't have a hose coming into your car, like your trying to commit that terrible S word..confused non driver. Thankyou.
Proud for doing your thing, but how do eventually integrate back into a more common lifestyle….later? The instinct to keep moving, live nomadic, doesn’t go away.
You need some yellow or other color besides white tape on the upper part of your van so people can see it in the snow. You're doing what I've always dreamed of. Be safe👍
Nature's sounds have a therapeutic quality that soothes the soul and calms the mind. Whether it's the rhythmic crashing of ocean waves or the distant call of a lone wolf, each sound carries with it a sense of peace and grounding
I'll never forget, my cousin and I took amtrak through the Sierras and Cascades not this past winter but the one before and the snow was so deep. The conductor said it was as deep as 18 feet in some places. I remember a railroad crossing where the snow was so deep no car could have gotten through and the drifts were insane. Those atmospheric rivers the past two winters in the Sierra and Cascades have dumped a bonkers amount of snow. Really enjoyed this video of yours.
As I was watching the news over the weekend, I told my husband, “there’s this great YT channel by a guy named Everest…” I was so excited to see the notification that you posted!!!!!❄️❄️❄️❄️🌬️🌬️🌬️😱😱😱😱

I stayed 4 days in a van during blizzard Sandy on the east coast. Couldn't get the van unstuck for a week. Snow came down faster than three of us could shovel it. Thank God for a 20 pound propane tank a buddy heater a stove and food. What a party we had. Finally the national guard got us pulled out by their Humvee.
WOW! The amount of negativity towards this young man is unbelievable. Have any of you haters seen his other videos? Most likely no! He is young and living HIS life, NOT YOURS. Plus, this is HIS HOME and has been for some time. He’s parked in a safe place and has everything he needs. He let’s his friends/family know where he is and he probably checks in although we may not see that part. But some of you are being so close minded and are immediately judging him when you don’t even know him or how he handles himself in these extreme conditions. Check out his other videos and hopefully you’ll think differently. He’s not out there harming anyone at all. Enjoy yourself to the fullest @TravelersTale! YOLO ✌🏽😎
Thank you! I was going through the comments thinking obviously these people have not watched his videos. He let's everybody know where he is and if he runs out of propane, I'm sure he has another plan. Geez these people are annoying.
To all those who are chastising this young man for being adventurous, I'm sure he has thought this out completely and is super prepared. Besides, did you notice the snow plows going by?? So just relax everybody and enjoy this fine video. SPOILER ALERT...he lives through this.
There is no hate here. As a mother who was at her grown son's bedside in the hospital because he failed to listen to her warnings, trust us. This is not hating. This comes from experience as a mother who cares about the welfare of all. So when we say" wear a florescent vest, clear the tailpipe, bring a second pair of socks, pack the carbon monoxide detector, and fall in love." Smile and say, " Good points, I'll do that" As mothers, we get to pull the mother card-anytime we want. Going through labor, we've earned that ;) nuff said.
One of the reasons people outfit vehicles like this is to “stealth camp” in parking lots and such. Places where a van might not be out of place parking overnight, but someone camping there might draw the ire of local law enforcement or property owners. A brightly coloured vehicle draws the eyes in that situation, which is exactly what you want to avoid.
Yeesss! He did it! I was wondering if you were going to hit the storm! Yaaay! This was a mother of a storm and we need to All congratulate you on the feat. I pray wholeheartedly that there was no deaths. This was something to remember and You were there. I'm proud, good job. Stay safe and Sweet as always. You deserve it!🩷🙏🏼🙌🏻🩷❄️⚡️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
21:55 was such a good shot of just how fast those large flakes were falling! I love the cold and a solid snowstorm. You had this all very well thought out and seemed to be smartly over prepared. Thanks for taking me on this journey with you!
You are a braver man than me, Everest. But, I always look forward to watching your videos. I love the cold and snow, but I’ve got nothing on you! Stay safe bro!
Make sure backing up that snow doesn't impact the tailpipe. Cuz it will freeze into ice after the engine is off and the engine won't start... That's a tip I learned from well .. experience😅😅
Wow your stroll through the Sequoias looks so amazing! I went to the Sequoia National Park during summer and I was in awe already but the snow brings a new element. Beautiful!
WOW! That was insane, I was waiting for a video from someone who headed up to the Sierra Nevada storm. Thanks for giving us a Birds Eye view of it. It’s nice that you have a nice warm van for shelter where you can cook and sleep. It looks like you had a nice time. Thanks for sharing❤
The Donner party (horse-drawn covered wagons) got entombed by snow in Dec.1846. The first night they got 6 ft. of snow. The 2nd night they got 4 ft. with multiple storms following. The survivors were rescued in February 1847. Its estimated that 15 to 20 feet of snow fell during that period. Just wrap your head around that!
So much snow!! The minute I started hearing weather reports of an epic blizzard in the Sierras, I said to myself, "I wonder if Everest is going to go camp in it?" AND SURE ENOUGH!! OPA! I loved the little bit where you jumped off the van roof into the snow. That gave me a good chuckle, and it was a good way to show just how MUCH snow there was! OMG! Also, your Donner Party air freshener made me laugh a LOT.
its not epic..nor record setting last year was worse guess you buy into this propaganda and trope this twit posts and other so call "van life" idiots running into bad weather creating problems for those of us that live here
You finally got smart your taking our advice putting chains on after you part the van. Make sure you have clearance around the van from snow. Have a safe camping trip in van sounds like heaven to camp in van.Be safe . Wow chocolate covered strawberries yummy with a little wine sounds good.
Wild and crazy, dude. Did a lot of heavy snow travel up there. But never allowed up there in this monumental snowfall. Kinda jealous really. Thx for the post. Be safe. You prepared well.
You should be proud of yourself for pushing your limits , I love winter camping/hiking for those reasons alone it adds just a little more pucker than summer fun lol. Salute from NH
14:13 omg that is the biggest tree I have ever seen. 😮 I have never seen, touched, felt, snow, hence why I adore this video. Hate summer, adore winter.. Thank you so much. Kindest thoughts to you and your family and Fur babies from Australia.
That is a Giant Sequoia, the largest tree species in the world by mass/volume. Nearly as tall as Redwoods while having larger trunk sizes. Truly something to behold.
Just...WOW! What a beautiful surprise! I didn't expect that! That stand of Sequoias in the snow blew me away! Thank you and God bless you! You made my day!
Do road workers or rangers or what have you ever drop by to check to make sure you're not stuck or in need of help or a warn you of an impending blizzard?
Yeah, before major storms the forest service and sheriffs stop by to make sure the people up there are aware of the impending storm. At this location, they know me so it’s not even a question anymore. For a storm this big however, I was the only person sticking it out haha.
Suggestion for dry floors. Get one of those mats thats thick rubber and made of open cells, like bee hive. Keep at front wheres door. Immidietly after it, lay down an old towel, folded. Have on hand 3 or 4 towels, and rotate as wet ones dry. Ive used this method for offroading in snow or mud or both and it helps grab all the snow that falls from my boots and jacket and pants/shell. A smaller towel is great to use as a "smacker" and i smack the back of my pants and jackets (and arse if feeling naughty!) To dust off all the snow clinging to me. I keep the towels in a small old milk crate which allows any water to leak out and out the van/truck. I dont have any meaningful suggestions because its obvious you're aware on some level what can be dangerous and you are having extreme fun. Good for you! Keep it up and try to remain safe:)
I frickin loved this! RV living/nomad life videos happening during storms are [weirdly enough] my comfort videos on my day off or when I'm sick. This was perfect. 🥹 Got homemade soup simmering with this playing in the background. I love it. 🌿🌿
Wow that’s nuts. Your van really does a good job driving in the snow. Is it all wheel drive? I’m glad you got out. Looks like you have a lot of cleaning to do in the van. It’s usually spotless. Take care be safe
Thank you for letting us see the snow. We’ve all heard about it down here in Texas. Could not imagine what you were in right now. Take care of yourself.
What a video!! It was both beautiful and terrifying!! You have the perfect set up for the extreme weather! Loved it!! Be careful though!! (Said with mom voice) 😂
Great program,but I would be scared to be locked in that bathroom either because the lock didn't work right or the door froze shut,in that storm. It did happen to me one time, luckily for me I had my phone on me I was in an area with good phone service and it was a recreation place that a lot of people were around,and the weather was not too cold or hot. But forever made me extra cautious in my many travels everywhere.
First time watching your channel. That weather is cuddle weather for me for sure! Like that you show your cooking skills as well what an awesome Van.....Super hot! Safe travels
I really loved your video, you have a wonderful personality to go along with it. You definitely show that preparedness is super important. Please make some more videos, I enjoyed watching this one. I wish you the very best young man!
I was born in mass and then lived in Texas for 45 years. If you keep letting that snow inside that beautiful van it’s going to ruin it. I moved back north to New Hampshire five years ago and at 66 I’m the one that does the majority of shoveling deep snow. I hate to see you pushing up against the plastic on the doors because they will break. It’s best you shovel what you can each time you use the restroom. It was smart bringing chains with you. I drove from Texas to NH during the winter in my Honda pilot with my two small dogs and three year old. It was snowing and cold. I stayed at the red roof inn so my dogs and I got warm and took showers. I kept a small shovel and brushes for snow. At night stopped and got dinner and we went and ate and slept nice and warm. I love how you did the bed great ideas. I’ve been using a little of everyone’s ideas.
Agree. I couldn't understand why he stood outside to put his jacket on when it was snowing with the van door open! So the wet snow went all over his sweater and then he put his jacket over it. Wet clothes are never a good thing .
@@pobstrelI felt anxiety seeing him leave his shovel in the snow behind the van, and again just sitting on top of the snow next to the van. Losing those shovels would really really suck!
I live in the south , but i used to live in Montana and I don't miss the winters there at all . Now you know why those old miners and trappers got cabin fever .
@@riverduck3 Wow people are weird , how you got that comment was about me is crazy, Just saying its colder than hell in Montana in the Winter , and cabin fever was a real thing because miners or trappers were stuck in their cabin all winter and it made them a little stir crazy ,
@@dangreene3895 how can something be colder than hell??? lolol Yes, cabin fever was a real thing, but that has nothing to do with this fine young man's video. Try to think of others for a change.
Man was watching the storm hitting the Sierras with an impressive amount of snow. I'm glad you made it there and gave us a glimpse of what it's truly like. Bravo and stay safe.
Carry a few large tarps and cut them in half then lay them down when u park at for the night all around the van and when ur ready to leave u can just pull them as long as they are not that heavy and all around ur vehicle will b free of snow….I would absolutely luv this, it would b so cozy to snuggle up while the snow comes down❤❤
When I saw that they were forecasting record snowfall amount and huge winds, I knew you would be out in the middle of it! LOL! Thanks for sharing. We seldom get snow down here, even though we live on top of a mountain.
I can honestly say I know how you feel lol Its almost fun being "stranded" no stress about traveling but we did miss xmas one year even the plows couldnt clear 5 ft from the road that year.
Good for you having the time of your life in your beautiful camper van regardless of the weather and the snow . You only live once, good on ya. Hi from Ireland 😊
Oh! One last suggestion. I attach a bright neon color flag to my antenna so it can be seen when snow gets dumped on the van. Makes it easier to find my way back in a storm. Ive glued strips of reflective tape to the flag so it remains stiff AND makes super easy to find said flag/truck with a flashlight, even in darkest and worst storms
Looks like he is in a driveway. There is a little (house, cabin, chalet) right by his van @ 15:07 in this video.
@@jessicanaser2939that’s a bathroom.
Great ideas!!!
It has been suggested in many comments that he put a flag on his antenna. He has never followed that advice.
An orange flag...can see orange the furthest away.
So let’s see… he is in a AWD camper with chains. He seems to be well stocked. He’s in a place where the plows come by. There are open facilities. He has heat and shelter. He has tools, shovels. Take a lesson in preparedness, enjoy your adventures. Be safe
and the award for most judgemental piece of shit goes too
He is well prepared that's for sure. I used to explore some remote places to and the best thing I ever purchased was my EPURB so if your in trouble you can get help.

You are very fortunate that you can tolerate heat. It kills me, and now with MS, it will kill me.
when you backed in, I'm curious as to why you shoveled out to open the doors. Why not pull forward 3 feet?
because the parking lot gets plowed

If you're gonna get snowed in, that's the van build to enjoy it.
U should add a bright color strip or something to ur van since you like being in snow, to make it easier to see your white van in case of emergencies
8:13 Bro get the ©Right of that dish before someone makes it their new launch 😂😂❤
Wow your stroll through the Sequoias looks so amazing! I went to the Sequoia National Park during summer and I was in awe already but the snow brings a new element. Beautiful!
that was a Crazy amount of Snow WOW. Great video it was fun to watch the whole way thru.💗😇
WOW! That was insane, I was waiting for a video from someone who headed up to the Sierra Nevada storm. Thanks for giving us a Birds Eye view of it. It’s nice that you have a nice warm van for shelter where you can cook and sleep. It looks like you had a nice time. Thanks for sharing❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I respect you . I know that regardless of the weather & measures you go through, you’re at peace . ❤❤
I'm living in Texas. We don't get to see snow very often. Thank you for sharing. I really did enjoy seeing the beautiful snow.
He has Texas plates on this van.
This guy needs a dog.
Needs guns
Needs you to shush 🤫

Yes

The Donner party (horse-drawn covered wagons) got entombed by snow in Dec.1846. The first night they got 6 ft. of snow. The 2nd night they got 4 ft. with multiple storms following. The survivors were rescued in February 1847. Its estimated that 15 to 20 feet of snow fell during that period. Just wrap your head around that!
How did they make it so long
@@akbarpashtun They had each other 😆
@@1stcommonsense I checked it on google. Looks crazy. Will check a short video on it.
@@1stcommonsense Nice euphemism. morbid, but nice.
The final survivor who it turns out consumed the most people, actually started an Inn/Restaurant in San Fran.
So much snow!! The minute I started hearing weather reports of an epic blizzard in the Sierras, I said to myself, "I wonder if Everest is going to go camp in it?" AND SURE ENOUGH!! OPA!
I loved the little bit where you jumped off the van roof into the snow. That gave me a good chuckle, and it was a good way to show just how MUCH snow there was! OMG!
Also, your Donner Party air freshener made me laugh a LOT.
its not epic..nor record setting last year was worse guess you buy into this propaganda and trope this twit posts and other so call "van life" idiots running into bad weather creating problems for those of us that live here
You finally got smart your taking our advice putting chains on after you part the van. Make sure you have clearance around the van from snow. Have a safe camping trip in van sounds like heaven to camp in van.Be safe . Wow chocolate covered strawberries yummy with a little wine sounds good.
Part?
@@Poeticfloetic park the van sorry have kids to watch when I type this
Wild and crazy, dude. Did a lot of heavy snow travel up there. But never allowed up there in this monumental snowfall. Kinda jealous really. Thx for the post. Be safe. You prepared well.
Such a distinct type of laugh, I knew immediately where at least one of your parents were from, click on the description and Maher 😂
Incredible! You do it best! Your channel is awesome. I always love the drone while the van is moving. So talented. Stay safe Everest.
You should be proud of yourself for pushing your limits , I love winter camping/hiking for those reasons alone it adds just a little more pucker than summer fun lol. Salute from NH
It is what you do when you are young!!good job young man
Wow, beautiful! Glad you got out safely. Maybe have some sort of portable potty inside?
OMG awesome footage on the ski's🙂 Crazy storm In Tahoe and Truckee and Donner pass
14:13 omg that is the biggest tree I have ever seen. 😮 I have never seen, touched, felt, snow, hence why I adore this video. Hate summer, adore winter.. Thank you so much. Kindest thoughts to you and your family and Fur babies from Australia.
That is a Giant Sequoia, the largest tree species in the world by mass/volume. Nearly as tall as Redwoods while having larger trunk sizes. Truly something to behold.
This is a heck of a van ! Absolutely amazing !
We get 3cm of snow in the UK & the country grinds to a halt, so fair play to you my friend! 👍👍
What a great adventure. Thank you for taking us along 🙏
ok, this is by far the smartest van setup ive seen. Ima do mine with this layout
Wonderful films. This young man is brave and adventurous. Thank you!
Just...WOW! What a beautiful surprise! I didn't expect that! That stand of Sequoias in the snow blew me away! Thank you and God bless you! You made my day!
Do road workers or rangers or what have you ever drop by to check to make sure you're not stuck or in need of help or a warn you of an impending blizzard?
Yeah, before major storms the forest service and sheriffs stop by to make sure the people up there are aware of the impending storm. At this location, they know me so it’s not even a question anymore. For a storm this big however, I was the only person sticking it out haha.
is this on the 80? where abouts was this?@@TravelersTale
I can't tell you how lucky you are. I would love to have been in that snow storm!
You got more guts than me, thank you for sharing and your APPRECIATION to your subscribers who watch your videos 😢
You are so welcome!
@@TravelersTale ya ok
Suggestion for dry floors. Get one of those mats thats thick rubber and made of open cells, like bee hive. Keep at front wheres door. Immidietly after it, lay down an old towel, folded. Have on hand 3 or 4 towels, and rotate as wet ones dry.
Ive used this method for offroading in snow or mud or both and it helps grab all the snow that falls from my boots and jacket and pants/shell. A smaller towel is great to use as a "smacker" and i smack the back of my pants and jackets (and arse if feeling naughty!) To dust off all the snow clinging to me. I keep the towels in a small old milk crate which allows any water to leak out and out the van/truck.
I dont have any meaningful suggestions because its obvious you're aware on some level what can be dangerous and you are having extreme fun.
Good for you! Keep it up and try to remain safe:)
I frickin loved this! RV living/nomad life videos happening during storms are [weirdly enough] my comfort videos on my day off or when I'm sick. This was perfect. 🥹 Got homemade soup simmering with this playing in the background. I love it. 🌿🌿
Wow that’s nuts. Your van really does a good job driving in the snow. Is it all wheel drive? I’m glad you got out. Looks like you have a lot of cleaning to do in the van. It’s usually spotless. Take care be safe
Thank you for letting us see the snow. We’ve all heard about it down here in Texas. Could not imagine what you were in right now. Take care of yourself.
What a video!! It was both beautiful and terrifying!! You have the perfect set up for the extreme weather! Loved it!! Be careful though!! (Said with mom voice) 😂
Thank you! Will do!
Great program,but I would be scared to be locked in that bathroom either because the lock didn't work right or the door froze shut,in that storm.
It did happen to me one time, luckily for me I had my phone on me I was in an area with good phone service and it was a recreation place that a lot of people were around,and the weather was not too cold or hot.
But forever made me extra cautious in my many travels everywhere.
First time watching your channel. That weather is cuddle weather for me for sure! Like that you show your cooking skills as well what an awesome Van.....Super hot! Safe travels
I love your adventurist spirit.....that was insane....massive, deadly...glad you made it and are safe.. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I really loved your video, you have a wonderful personality to go along with it. You definitely show that preparedness is super important. Please make some more videos, I enjoyed watching this one. I wish you the very best young man!
You have to use silicone spray on all your door seals. If you push to hard they will tear. Sometimes a hairdryer will do the trick. Bob in Nevada
i like this guy, he dosnt talk about his two tanks on his truck over and over.
I was born in mass and then lived in Texas for 45 years. If you keep letting that snow inside that beautiful van it’s going to ruin it. I moved back north to New Hampshire five years ago and at 66 I’m the one that does the majority of shoveling deep snow. I hate to see you pushing up against the plastic on the doors because they will break. It’s best you shovel what you can each time you use the restroom. It was smart bringing chains with you. I drove from Texas to NH during the winter in my Honda pilot with my two small dogs and three year old. It was snowing and cold. I stayed at the red roof inn so my dogs and I got warm and took showers. I kept a small shovel and brushes for snow. At night stopped and got dinner and we went and ate and slept nice and warm. I love how you did the bed great ideas. I’ve been using a little of everyone’s ideas.
Agree. I couldn't understand why he stood outside to put his jacket on when it was snowing with the van door open! So the wet snow went all over his sweater and then he put his jacket over it. Wet clothes are never a good thing .
@@pobstrelI felt anxiety seeing him leave his shovel in the snow behind the van, and again just sitting on top of the snow next to the van. Losing those shovels would really really suck!
This level ten asmr the snow crunching 😂😂😂😂
I live in the south , but i used to live in Montana and I don't miss the winters there at all . Now you know why those old miners and trappers got cabin fever .
I guess you're being complimentary toward this man and his video. Nope, you weren't. You were all about you and hating the snow. Wow.
@@riverduck3 Wow people are weird , how you got that comment was about me is crazy, Just saying its colder than hell in Montana in the Winter , and cabin fever was a real thing because miners or trappers were stuck in their cabin all winter and it made them a little stir crazy ,
@@dangreene3895 how can something be colder than hell??? lolol
Yes, cabin fever was a real thing, but that has nothing to do with this fine young man's video. Try to think of others for a change.
@@riverduck3 Kiss off it was a innocent comment , and you never heard the expression colder than hell where do live in a basement ,
@@dangreene3895, no, I'm not a soy boy so I don't live in Mommy's basement. You are just a grumpy person who loves to be miserable.
DAMN 😮
You could make an igloo out of that MUCH snow! 😊
Man was watching the storm hitting the Sierras with an impressive amount of snow. I'm glad you made it there and gave us a glimpse of what it's truly like. Bravo and stay safe.
Was truly astounding
I have never, ever seen or experienced snow in any way shape of form……it looks terrifying yet loads of fun!
No joke, that is a legit blizzard.
Carry a few large tarps and cut them in half then lay them down when u park at for the night all around the van and when ur ready to leave u can just pull them as long as they are not that heavy and all around ur vehicle will b free of snow….I would absolutely luv this, it would b so cozy to snuggle up while the snow comes down❤❤
Mad..amazing,beautiful but bonkers..glad you kept safe.
24:44 that steering wheel is massive hahah
When I saw that they were forecasting record snowfall amount and huge winds, I knew you would be out in the middle of it! LOL! Thanks for sharing. We seldom get snow down here, even though we live on top of a mountain.
The negative comments are from jealous people. Just forget about them. We love ur vids!
Wow this is the best van conversion I have ever seen. Awesome job man. 😊
Btw where was this filmed? Somewhere in Canada?
California! Thanks!
I can honestly say I know how you feel lol
Its almost fun being "stranded" no stress
about traveling but we did miss xmas one
year even the plows couldnt clear 5 ft from
the road that year.
What a cool adventure.thank you for taking us along 😎
I REALLY enjoyed your video! All the best for you and don’t forget that love is all around you! Warm hug from Amsterdam 🙏
idk if its just me but it felt like he did everything people tell you not to do when theres a huge snowstorm coming 🤣😥
Yes I agree with you like what a tool this guy is
No its not you lol
Good for you having the time of your life in your beautiful camper van regardless of the weather and the snow . You only live once, good on ya. Hi from Ireland 😊
