    Hello Van Man,
    I'm kind of stuck in my comfy chair in the den but your wonderful Van Man program takes me out to the beautiful state of Washington and its parks and back to nature and gives me a wonderful form of entertainment I can find no where else. Thank you so much for your high quality entertaining programs. I never tire of them.

I moved into my 2004 Mitsubishi montero.the best decision I have ever made!I can't express the freedom one has in living in your vehicle! There was a short week of a learning curve,but after that it was incredible! Everyone should live in their car,at least once in their life.

    Chad, so glad to see that you are still using your SoloStove Ranger. Bought mine in early ‘19 after watching you in the snow and the very first thing I did was make navy bean soup as soon as the UPS guy left. A couple of months ago my new bride wanted the Bonfire for our mountain wedding party but my Ranger just keeps getting the work load. IMO, the Ranger is the best all round stove/fire pit the “Overlander” can have. Until a burn ban. Lol. See you outside.

    My favorite spot for "overlanding" is literally 30 minutes from my house. 20 minutes over paved roads, and 10 minutes up a moderately well maintained dirt road to the parking lot where it intersects the Appalachian trail. Camping is whatever you can afford to do in the time you have to do it.
