I've said this before and I will say it again. Chad, you are an amazing filmographer who captures everything in your adventures in an EPIC way. Every detail of this documentary is just a majestic and legendary saga, from the glorious cinematic views to the perfect music you choose to share this tale. Thank you from all of us followers...keep on truckin' ;-)
We need more series of you Sr. I love your videos and the way you capture life and your wisdom you share with us. You are a genuine person. Much respect to you Sr.
The thing with long form videos is that it gets boring fast because the content isn’t there. But when a good filmmaker, photographer and narrator gets involved, well it’s epic! Few people can pull it off, And Chad’s LTVL does that all in one! Most definitely keeps me watching.
Man I've been following you for years from a poor African country, I guess I'm your only subscriber in this region 😂 and I consider you living my dream. I can't tell you how glad I was when I heard the Sudanese songs you used for editing in this video. For a moment it felt like our realities aren't so distant. Thank you for being opened to other cultures, this is the way to peace on earth.. Or at least on many hearts. The song you used is called "Salam fi donya".. Which literally means "Peace on Earth". This is beautiful on so many levels.
Yes! 🙌🏼 I figured it was Sudanese! 🫡 there's amazing music coming from your part of the world, mk. And, funny - as a girl who lives in British Columbia at the foot of the Rockies depicted in this documentary, I dream of going to... Africa! 🙃🏔️🌲🪓🪵🔥🙌🏼
Even though I watched all this when they were coming out, I'm happy you put them all together for us to watch in one sitting. Thank you and happy new year!
Thanks again brother for the experience, if you ever get lost and find your way to the central Texas area just swing by and I’ll make sure to have the replacement sink lid that’s bowed ready for you. We very much appreciate you sharing your story brother!
Great timing for the video. I was supposed to go to the Arctic Circle with my Huskies for a week-long sledding adventure but I got sick. Now I can enjoy your great storytelling.
What great thing posted at the perfect time to bring the New Year in for the partiers as myself who ring it in with a quiet drink at home! I had certainly watched the series but I’m definitely watching! Happy New Year, Chad and all your viewers!
I applaud you. You're living your best life and don't let anyone tell you different. You doing it the way I would do it and I'm glad to see you showcase all your videos the way you do. Keep on doing it brother
Chad! what a amazing adventure! Great video footage and soundtrack! you are such a confident person! thanks for sharing it with us. Have a safe, happy and healthy new year and look forward to your next adventure! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
LTVL thank you! Not a camper, not a survivalist, I don’t really have anything I can compare in my life like the videos you display. BUT I can say your videos are awesome and I listen to them all the time before I head to bed. Thank you and a. Happy New Year ‘25 to you!
Just awsome! Chad good to see you again Great work 👌 again Everything fits perfectly in your movies. Also when i'm tired and only listen , it just calming
Yoooooo this video just made my night. Watched it all the way through. Some of the highest quality content I’ve seen. Always appreciate the time you take to post this stuff Chad. Cheers!
Best thing I have watched in a long time. Subscriber from the UK here and can’t express how fantastic your documentaries are sir, from the music to the videography and the honest and raw intent in your narrative. I can’t imagine the preparation you must put in to these trips not just in your vehicle but the technology and with yourself mentally and physically to bring it all to life. I tip my cap to you sir, just excellent.
Aloha Chadrick!!! This was an epic adventure that you shared with us last year, and another visit this year! I am still in awe of the puppy who wanted to go on the journey with you. SPIRIT ANIMAL, maybe?
Currently watching the video and to see Skagway completely empty like that is eerie and wild all at the same time. I was up there in August on a cruise and the streets and stores were so over crowded with people. Every store you went into there were no less than 50 people. This video is incredible to see Alaska from this point of view.
What an adventure !!! Only one most of us dare to dream about. From the bison, to the northern lights, the glaciers and everything in between. The cinematography in this is second to none. Absolutely incredible chad !! Loved the last one, but this years is just epic ❤
The scenery feels like it’s from another world. It’s amazing. Here I am thinking that driving 3.5 hours to find a trail is a long drive for me. I’ve seen other video of arctic journeys but this one is just on a different level. Great job! 😊
I just subscribed to your channel and loved your videos, the trip you made, and all the encouragement you gave,i really appreciate it. You're living everyone's dreams. Keep them coming. Watching from Australia.
Another astounding triumph Chad! Your cinematography knows no bounds and we are still amazed you made this trip in the winter...again! We love your work and look forward to seeing what 2025 has in store. Happy new year!
i watched and follow LTVL since the beginning almost 12 years ago. when you are driving the VW camper van, following your every journey, from upgrading your tyres to tinting your windows... and if felt like it all build up to this very moment. Weirdly i felt touch by this video.
Epic adventure. We traveled to Prudhoe Bay in 2019 from FL pulling a tear drop trailer. On the road from July to Sept and had a great time. Being on a time crunch as you were you missed a lot along the way. Our 2019 trip was great, so great in fact we did it again this year, taking four months. Being retired we have lots more time, so our average drive time per day was around 4-5 hrs. Plenty of time to stop and explore. Delta Junction you can get a certificate saying your drove the ALCAN. Had you gone to Homer, you could have gotten one saying you drove to the end of the road. In Prudhoe Bay we did the Arctic Plunge (yep, got that certificate as well). Really enjoyed watching this as it brought back fond memories.
Great video! I’m a long time Alaskan, now living in Maine. I’ve driven the highway to and from Alaska over 20 times, summer and winter. You did a great job of showing the weather, terrain, and wildlife along the way. Once I spent the night at Liard River Hotsprings in my VW van at -36F. I carried a small piece of metal roofing and put charcoal briquettes on the metal, lit them off, and slid them under the engine to get it warm enough to start. Thanks for sharing your trip to Deadhorse! Have a good 2025. Cheers, Rog
I’m watching your vlog right now, and I have to say-it’s absolutely amazing! The drone shots are incredible. Hoping to embark on a journey like that myself someday!
🎉....I always say that you are the best content creator for me on UA-cam. Your videos are legendary and deserve support and views. Thank you very much!.😅😅
10:01 I learned from you how to use avacados :) thank you man. I watched all series. This is also great to watch. Great job, great trip, wise talks. enjoy all new things you have on the way this and all years ahead ❤🎉👏🏼🙏🏼
WOW Chad what an absolute exciting, fabulous video. Once again you've done it. The sights, the history, and the views. Fantastic. Oh and the Northern Lights: I have not experienced this since I was a small child, down here in OH. Hope we won't have to wait too long for your next trip. Thanks again for sharing with all of us your adventures. Stay safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
CHAD'S IN THE HOUSE ❤ Happy New Year 🎉 Chad I've been watching since yesterday I remember all these episodes how Beautiful Sow is ❤ The hot Springs was one of my favorites 😊 I'll be getting a hoodie soon ! Love your channel ❤ stay warm n safe !
I drove across Canada in the dead of winter twice now. Nova Scotia to B.C. Yes it can be a nail bitter , we went all upper Canada for the full winter effect 😂 u gotta treat it like a sailing expedition reading all charts available to you and frequently. Loved it. I even packed spare wheel bearings you don’t wanna be stranded out there !
Thank you for such bright and interesting content, right now I am re-watching the Arctic journey, it is something magical, such views and landscapes, may the new year be filled with new adventures and maybe we will meet on the road, thank you for your work, I know firsthand what filming and editing are worth, good luck to you.
Yay! Perfect New Year's present! Congratulations to you on this amazing documentary, the entire experience and expertise, and thank you for sharing it all with us!
Watched in 4 segments! Epic…I appreciate your heartfelt sentiments about your adventures and traveling. Having done some solo treks of my own. It definitely opens you up! Happy New Year 🎊🎆 💗✨🍻🚐
Hi Chad, I watched a number of Alaska adventures do the haul road and have suggested returning back to the lower 48 via the ferry but you were the only one to do it. Thanks for taking me along on a virtual adventure. Again your drone shots and your editing is on par if not better than professional TV adventure programs.
Great video i set here & rang in the New Year watching you watch the sunset at the Arctic Circle. I always enjoy you videos my ride along from life Thanks for posting & safe travels

Perfect time around the holidays to relax a live the van life vicariously! Thanks Chad.

Thanks again brother for the experience, if you ever get lost and find your way to the central Texas area just swing by and I’ll make sure to have the replacement sink lid that’s bowed ready for you. We very much appreciate you sharing your story brother!
They wanted winter content. Here it is! Great stuff, Chadillac.
I’ve been patiently waiting to spend NYE ‘24 watching this journey unfold finally 🥳🎆🎊🙏🏻✝️ The most incredible vanlife adventure, yet 🤩
Great timing for the video. I was supposed to go to the Arctic Circle with my Huskies for a week-long sledding adventure but I got sick. Now I can enjoy your great storytelling.
Dude this is absolutely incredible. What a great movie.
I watched these videos and was fascinated to see the extent we go to for oil. Saved this for tomorrow to watch with a hangover. Happy New Year folks.
The timing of this is great, because I had just started rewatching this series last evening! Now I can rewatch it in one video!
I can't believe you traveled to the Arctic for the third time. I'm excited to watch this video!
Fantastic video, Thank You! Greetings from UK.
Alaska will remain in your heart forever, Happy New Years 🎉
New Year’s Eve with northern lights. Awesome. Thanks for all of the hard work to produce this content. 👍👍👍
What great thing posted at the perfect time to bring the New Year in for the partiers as myself who ring it in with a quiet drink at home! I had certainly watched the series but I’m definitely watching! Happy New Year, Chad and all your viewers!
My favourite is how organized and clean everything is in your van💪
As a Sprinter owner, I approve this message.
Been a long time coming! Can’t wait to get stuck into this one👍 Happy new year from big fans in the UK

This video of yours is one of the best and it is very professional.
