    You want to put the garlic at the end. Right before everything is fully cooked that way the flavor is released from the garlic, it is tender and but isn’t burned

It makes life easy. I like your cooking videos. Listening to that chicken sizzling in the pan , got my taste buds going. You sound like a professional chef. Looking at all that food cooking in that pan, is like I can smell it cooking and it's making my mouth water. Thanks for sharing your cooking lesson, Chad. Greatly appreciated. Drive safe. Keep safe.

    The ultimate experience in freedom.
    Coldest back-back nights were -25°.

    It was worth it, waking up in the back country in the East Kooteneys of British Columbia.

    Good to see you back with regular vanlife updates Chad. I was inspired to do the vanlife by people like yourself, kyle pounds, living free..etc about 5 years ago in Australia. It has opened my eyes to different lifestyle and I have learnt so much from it. It's good to see you are still staying true to yourself and doing your van thing. I think many of the vanners from back then have either dropped off the radar or have moved into larger motor homes (less adventurous), which is unfortunate.... keep on truckin'

    I'm a newbie to your channel I love it, you're right about the old cast iron skillet, I'm pretty old but I use my great grandmother's everyday, l cure mine once a year , I build a big fire with lots of chunks of red-hot coals, and put them in , after they cool, I clean them and grease them up, Better than Teflon, I love you are teaching people winter skills that can save your life, great job...

    My craziest experience camping was in Yosemite, during winter! Snowshoes and all, built a igloo, which was an under-snow shelter.....we scooped out the snow and slept there overnight. Hung our food high up between two trees so bears and Wolves couldn't reach it. It was survival camping! Snowshoed nto an area in Toualamie....Such a blast.....Loved your chicken dinner stir fry !! Enjoyed your video !!!
