Chad I really like your work . Congratulations on your new home. Please be thankful as many people are not fortune enough to build their home like you. Love you from India. Keep it up. Respect to the highest level.
Here’s one link to the foraging for firewood concern: www.blm.gov/programs/natural-resources/forests-and-woodlands/forest-product-permits Each of us have an obligation to “know before you go” when it comes to adventuring outdoors. Actually, that probably applies to just about anything one decides to do. In my view, expecting someone else to warn us of all the possibilities associated with adventuring is unreasonable. Chad, thanks for always creating interesting content relevant to the interests of so many. “Keep on Truckin’” the way you do.
Yah! Chad have also a New Van Tour Walkaround with your Rig Build Mercedes-Benz Sprinter like What you also did to your Volkswagen Prerunner Vanagon Westfalia Off Road Overland Van. 🚐👍
It is clear that a lot of thought and planning went into building your new off-road vehicle. I didn't know it was going to be this awesome, especially as it was able to "wench" those huge boulders. Love this channel, Great job!!
Did a lot of tent camping in my day, with my wife and daughter, many good memories! Now that I’m older ( just turned 72 ) I’m not able to do any camping ( health issues ) I appreciate your videos they bring back many memories for me. Thanks 🙏🏻
The sharp THWACK of the ax..the sound of you chopping vegetables on the cutting board..the crackling sounds of the fire and the sizzling of the meat....and then my favorite part..when you just stick out the name brand of the ingredients..you won't say anything just jam it right out there so that we can all see what name brand you are using.. keep up the great work...glad you finished up the sprinter.
I just lost my Mom on 4/28/21. Your videos let me escape from the saddness for a time. We just did a day drive out on E Hwy 2 and looped on S Rt 97 and then W 90 back home. It's not what you do, but it helped to distract me. Thank you for constant PNW inspiration to get outside. I'm glad you are back.
Chad. I feel as if I have waited for the birth of a child. Anticipation has been high key! So glad to see you back out enjoying nature, watching you cook and seeing you peaceful out in the fresh air. My hat is off to you sir. Well done.
I love how you don't just do Steak/red meat every time. The variety of cooking you do and the awesome cinematography plus the recovery stuff, this is my favorite channel, awesome video man
Nice to kick back & take a breath over things that have passed & the new adventures, dreams & headaches to come. Thanks again for taking time to share your Adventures with the World. We Thank You for taking US along & Helping us get a little Mental Escape as well @LivingTheVanLife
Been waiting for this first adventure with the Sprinter! Living the dream my friend! I know that doesn't come easy but in the end, it's worth all the hard work and effort!
Would love to see a van tour, and also you spending time inside like laying down or making breakfast if there's a stove and not jus outside everytime. Stay safe Sir.
No questions here, just happy to see that all your hard work is paying off with the new van and new adventures, and grateful that you are willing to take the time and effort to share them with us. I hope you and yours are healthy and happy. Thanks! :)
I have never in my life been camping but watching your videos with the breathtakingly beautiful scenery makes me have wanderlust each time. Thank you for sharing your passion for the outdoors with us.
I'm so envy with your life, man !! It's an every introvert dreams. please stay healthy, stay happy, and always make us a great and wonderful content. cheers
Chad, your channel is by far the best! I absolutely love watching your videos. Just a down to earth country boy enjoying life and living it to the fullest.
Do it while you can. No one is young forever, no matter how much we try and fool ourselves. I am 68 now, been doing a lot of two and three week trips for about 3 years now. I am currently laid up after ankle surgery. My sixth one now. Things break, wear out, and just quit working.The time will come when I will be forced to stop altogether, I realize that time is running out now, and I am wanting to see so much more.
Hey Chad, I am blessed to see that you are having fun making your dreams come a reality. It must take a lot of work to do it, I enjoy watching your adventures very much, we have a similar passion for the real world. My encouragement to you is BE BLESSED MY BRO THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE.
I can’t believe one of those build episodes wasn’t brought to us by McCormick Spice Co... bad ass powder coated spice rack holding nothing but Montreal Steak seasonings 😃
You know, I have been watching your videos now for about 15-18 months, this kind of camping and cooking videos do some magic on my mind... It's like meditation music.. does same thing with my mind...so relaxing and pleasing... Thank You Chad, Love from India❤️❤️❤️
hi chad i hope u r well and safe. i m fighting with cancer almost more than 2 years and kind of isolated i was watching your videos since than and i loved it. i know your feelings when u reached your destination because i used to be adventures like u and travelled a lot and also loved to cook. keep it up. and everyone plz pray for my recovery and stay safe.
Did I miss an episode where Chad wrapped up the rest of the interior? It went from the bumpouts and bed to suspension to camping... Did he finish furnishing the rest of the interior off camera or something?
Throw a blanket over your winch cable, it can save you from a trip to the hospital or some damage to your vehicle, especially when you’re working with something as unwieldy as a huge rock. As always love the videos as well as the new ride.
Hey Chad.. I never comment on videos, and this is the first comment I think I've ever left. Your videos have shown me a side of life that I often forget. I'm caught up in the hectic life of day-to-day, with job, kids, and everything. These videos make me remember how important the simple things in life are, and how to appreciate them again. Everything you do is basic, from living, cooking, keeping warm and enjoying nature. These are things I can appreciate, and it gives me a well needed break from the fast pace of life I'm normally experiencing. Thank you for this gift.
Amazing... I'm following you since the day you've started on UA-cam Like almost... And this sprinter van .. Amazing 😍😍 I love it .. Happy for you 😃😃 Those little voice-over .. those were great 😃😃Enjoyed video.. Peace out ✌️ Keep on doing what you're doing ✌️😃

There’s something about just hearing Chad talk about his life that makes me wish him lifetime of happiness
I hope to see the inside of your van soon.
This nice timelapse in the end without a glimpse of light pollution just made my day :)
This 79 yo retired, librarian, grandmother is so happy to see you back. I look forward to seeing a tour of the inside in the future.

The amount of time and effort that you're giving to this video is even more amazing.
The drone shot at 1:45 literally took my breath away. Amazing views.

The van, the winch, I expected that but the new table? Cool! 😁
Just commenting to say this is a bad ass channel. And that it's a treat to see new videos get posted.
by far the most well thought out and executed youtube channel out there... the cinematic quality is just insane! congrats on the van bro!
Chad. I feel as if I have waited for the birth of a child. Anticipation has been high key! So glad to see you back out enjoying nature, watching you cook and seeing you peaceful out in the fresh air. My hat is off to you sir. Well done.

Happy days,can't wait to see the inside of that new bad boy!
Every frame is so art-filled. You're very keen and leading a beautiful life.

Outstanding production! You're hard work and perseverance paid off! Great looking van, great scenery, good food and peace of mind! Can't be beat! 👍
Winch works. . .That van is a beast. . .that eats dirt and gravel. . .and seems like it will be forever hungry. So glad you’re back.
Good to see you back out and camping 🏕 my friend..
I kept this video in my watch later & felt like 11 days later was the right time to watch. Amazing scenery. Drone footage was spectacular.
He’s back! Let’s go! Good stuff as always Chad! 🤙
Damn! That winch is incredible. With this new rig anything is possible.
I'm so envy with your life, man !! It's an every introvert dreams. please stay healthy, stay happy, and always make us a great and wonderful content. cheers
Seeing the Van out in the nature now explains why you went for that color of the Van... Blends in quite well and looks awesome!
What a perfect contrast, the beautiful daisies with the badass off-road rig and then the "road closed", nicely done, sir! = )
Anytime I need to de-stress...I come here. Your voice, the words, the scenery. So incredibly relaxing
I'm so glad! Thanks for your support!
Oh man, finally he's back on the road, yesss!
Chad, your channel is by far the best! I absolutely love watching your videos. Just a down to earth country boy enjoying life and living it to the fullest.
Every time I see one of those videos I think to myself: "Man ... what am i doing with my life"
💯
Get yourself out there mate. Life is short and the world is wide!
Damn, i feel the same everytime haha.
Seriously dude get your ass out in the woods. You only get one chance at life dont waste it doing shit you dont love.
Do it while you can. No one is young forever, no matter how much we try and fool ourselves. I am 68 now, been doing a lot of two and three week trips for about 3 years now.

It's only two but I already know that you moving those rocks off the trail is the most badass thing I'm going to see today
Dreaming to have life like this is so fulfilling...thank you for letting us to see how mother nature is so beautiful.
That moment when he pulled out the flashlight, I was like “why would he leave that in”?
This is one of the best youtube videos ive ever seen. I just didnt want it to end. You truly are not just living the van life, you are living THE life
Man I kinda thought you wouldn’t be running the new sprinter that hard but dude videos are awesome and so cool to see that van being put to the test!
whoa... like the using grass. thought was cool watching shaving the wood for that but pine cone grass thing nice touch
Hey! How about a full tour of the van now?
Congrats on hitting the trail again, good to see.
Magnificent timelapse treat at the end...

I almost forgot my Dutch oven before camping. Then I remembered it because of your videos

Did I miss an episode where Chad wrapped up the rest of the interior? It went from the bumpouts and bed to suspension to camping... Did he finish furnishing the rest of the interior off camera or something?
I was wondering the same I hope i didn’t miss anything
He still owes us a full tour of the interior😬
That baby is in the woods
Interior is probably not done yet. It does seem like it's taking longer than he'd hoped.
So what happened to the old van? I must have missed that transition video.
Throw a blanket over your winch cable, it can save you from a trip to the hospital or some damage to your vehicle, especially when you’re working with something as unwieldy as a huge rock.
As always love the videos as well as the new ride.
I envy your life, while I'm stuck at office.!
You can get out there too, even if it's not full time. All that you need is a vehicle and some camping equipment.
Change it Sam.
I started about 4 months ago and been having an amazing journey through Mexico. Wish my van was as bad ass as his, but ya gotta start somewhere!!!
@@stevefrank5524 that's awesome steve. Love the "gotta start somewhere" attitude. Hell yeah!
You deserve the sprinter or whatever makes you happy. I'm glad to see you out of the shop and back onto adventures.
19:00 I could feel the anxiety through the screen lmaoo
He definitely saw a bigfoot lol
@@aaronaaron4155 Confirmed by the headshake. "Just my imagination, just my imagination." 😂
fuck yeah, I felt it too, that was a tense moment, I was expecting chad mentioning what he think he saw
@@leandro5221 I don’t think he saw anything. He heard something hence the flash light
@@ZacTexC yes, I meant that, I don´t know why I said "saw"
My favorite channel on youtube!!!! Glad to see you're back on the road!!!! Keep them videos coming my friend and stay safe!!!!
Been here from the very start and its amazing to see how you and your channel have grown. Best of luck with your new machine🇮🇪
good for You. I love how you outfitted the sprinter really love the lift , bumpers and winch.
This is exactly what my saturday morning needed!
Mit besten Grüssen aus Deutschland. Ich schaue deine Videos seit etwa 1 Jahr und bin fasziniert von deinem Leben. Freue mich auf jedes neue Video.
That sound you heard was your old van whimpering at being left behind😂
I was worried it was a bear
westy appears from behind the bushes..- “... wtf man, you said you were just going bowling tonight.”
The Stars are out, and evidently Bigfoot is hungry !

“None shall pass” Chad says no I’m going to pass. Great video Chad take it to the max kid!
The meal looks delicious! Everything except for the brussels sprouts. I can't stand brussels sprouts. And the new van is awesome!
Chad pulls out the table and my jaw drops like "what manner of witchcraft was that?" Also, that knife you were batoning with is amazing.
Great video Chad and first trip , great new memory's starting to be created and new roads found
That really bothers me that he left those two lil pieces of sprouts in the pan. Lol
There's only one Living The Van Life!! Happy to see you back in your element..
i've been waiting this camping series for so long !!!!!!!
Love the grip on that mp knife, that van was a rocking moving that big rock. Super smart using the tree. Loving the new rig!
LTVL new ride is 🔥NEXT LEVEL🔥
Nice to finally get out in the new rig. You’ll have to report on sleeping sideways out there. I’m sure it was a great night’s sleep.
If GrillMates dont sponsor you by now for how much you plug their seasoning then I will personally write a letter of complaint
McCormick is the brand, not GrillMates
