    The posole meal looked so incredibly delicious...I could almost smell it! I love posole
    and menudo especially on the coldest wintry days. This was an epic adventure, Chad, and the addition of Trucker is a huge plus.

    I am so happy you have a dog now. No greater companion than a dog. Trucker is such a happy guy. I love the scenes of him digging the stick out of the snow. He's such a cutie .
    As always epic cinematography. Beautiful scenery. You make winter look wonderful.
    We live in the mountains of British Columbia in a fifth wheel travel trailer. We are at 1200 meters and get a lot of snow. Some years the snow doesn't completely leave until the beginning of June !!
    Your posole looked amazing. Thank you for sharing your family tradition. Now I am craving a good hardy and spicy dish . It's snowing out right now so no better time than to put on a pot of chili or soup. :)
    Thanks again Chad for sharing your beautiful adventures. Wishing you a wonderful New Year with many more epic adventures to come.

    Hey Chad, I love to cook the recipes you make on your adventures. Here in The Netherlands sometimes it’s difficult to get all the right ingredients. It's really helpful you show the items you’re using on camera.
    Nevertheless, your recipes always taste delicious! Can't wait to try this meal next week!
    Thanks a lot for all the effort you put in the LTVL channel! I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year! I am looking forward to your next adventure!

    3:35 As an Alpine resident, I would say that tire pressure is pointless from 50 cm of powder snow.
    Only snow chains can help. 😏

    Hint: when you park overnight in ground with snow get some sticks and put them under the wheels so that the next day you dont get stuck.
    Life saving hint.

    I’m new to your channel. I’m also an Agile off Road customer. We live in the PNW as well. Love this video showing our beautiful Cascade Mountains. I don’t have an off road van, mine is a Pleasure Way buildout, which I use as my office on wheels and travel in it as well. Your van is absolutely gorgeous. I never had an interest in owning a van until 2019, and I love that I’ve got one now. I’m always learning something new from people that travel in their vans. I never considered the instapot, that’s a brilliant idea. I bake in the Omni oven which I absolutely love on my gas stove. Great recipe, I’m making this at home tonight for my family, thank you for the idea. Safe travels. Cheers from Redmond, WA

    Chad, you are truly a Blessed man for the freedom of being able to go on this awe-inspiring adventures. The views from the drone footage are undescribable, the words Magnificent, wonderous, majestic, magical doesn't do it justice. I feel like I'm soaring/flying on the wings of an eagle to unimaginable heights, my Spirit ever free/light as a feather as I soar and glide majestically through cathedrals of creation and I thank you this spectacular adventure.

    I love the addition of the peanut butter to the posole-chocolate is good too, gives it a mole flavor (I grew up in northern New Mexico) and winter camping is always the BEST! Your dog has pure joy in the snow!

    • @LivingTheVanLife
      @LivingTheVanLife  2 роки тому +1

      Lol! That peanut butter makes all the difference, although some traditionalists scoff at it. Going to keep the chocolate in mind for that mole flavor. Thanks for watching, Sarah!

    Yeah, I gotta give the van driver props for maneuvering a van in deepish snow like that. I guess he’s able to turn off the ABS and other programs in the computer related to traction control otherwise he wouldn’t be able to spin his tires as can be needed in snow like that. Plus he’s got balls to be out there because if it snows overnight, he’s not getting out.

    We looked at Mercedes vans yesterday. My work friend was looking at them because he’s going to retire soon. I’m already retired at 56 and the vans looked great to me. Now I want one. I live in Washington near Mt. St. Helens so we have places to go. We as in me and my dogs.

    Hello from west Michigan. I have been turned onto your channel after watching Jason on primal outdoors and I am absolutely floored and inspired by the both of you to expand my outdoor experiences. I have been car camping since I was a kid and it is literally the only constant in my life after my love of music. Thanksgiving weekend I made my first camping trip that I would consider off season. I am doing the same this year but way further north in the upper peninsula. I will be visiting and camping at tahquamenon falls state park in paradise Michigan. Don’t know yet if I’ll see any snow but really hoping to be able to see the falls partially frozen. Keep up what you do. You are truly inspiring people to step outta their boxes and try new things. Thanks for all you do.
