From past 2 years i have fallen in love with the van life you have started ..... I am always excited to see new episode in the winter season everyday 😊 ...... Love for you ❤️
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.
I can see why you call this spot one of your favorites to camp at in WA. It's absolutely gorgeous from all angles and the playful pup really lifted my spirits when you first got there
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!
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.
Currently watching your videos whilst I'm in my van whil in the Scottish highlands. Your videos are an inspiration Chad. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023.
6:21. A beautiful and majestic white tiger watches silently over the valley. Beautiful image, plain to see. Thank you Chad. Blessings all and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to my favorite UA-camr! Your videography is outstanding. I feel like I'm there each time.... Seriously, when I see these I so very much wish I could venture out and travel all over like you do but it isn't meant at this time. I appreciate you allowing me to live through you
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!
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!
I'm watching the video and now I'm sad that there is no snow in Croatia at the moment (abnormally warm +12C/+53.6F for this time of year). A man really knows how to enjoy himself to the fullest. Merry Christmas Chad!
Living vicariously through you Chad...your channel has an exquisite blend of excitement, solitude, confidence and wisdom...served with a healthy side of mind blowing visuals and music...thanks for inviting me along for your adventures Chad
Chad sir you've got yourself a great thing going for yourself!!! The sights and no hustle and bustle noise around your camps. Thats just one of the many things you share with us on your journeys as they are very much appreciated!!! Keep at it an stay safe in all you do!!!
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.
Chad , when you post your videos, always look forward to them , magnificent scenery, great time to grab a coffee sit down and tuck into your videos. Coming to you from the land down under.
This was just wonderful to watch, your cinematography/drone skills are just next level! Thank you for doing these videos and allowing all of us the opportunity to experience the great winter land trips you take, not to mention your great food cooking skills as well!
I finally made the pozole in my IP 6 qt at home. It turned out delicious!! First time I ever had pozole. I will definitely be making this again and again!
his videos are so well made... I watch his videos all the time and I've never done this and prolly never will. please keep up the great work.... amazingly produced videos bro... so good.
I sure do love watching LTVL vids during winter. Makes them feel homely. I also look forward to all the seasonal vids as well...Chad does the van life solid. One of my fav channels.
I'm watching this from South Africa ...I assure you man that's a great adventure by far. Awesome filming...beautiful views of those Icey mountains ,great job with the drown.
15:36 snow weather, cozy van, 450ml mug, iced drinks, it feels so good. 18:57 new van need a range hood, old van can popup the roof and keep air circulation. 32:41 meal is NG, beacause meat is apart(very small pieces), you can bite it.
I'M NEW LOVE WATCHING YOU CHAD, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GREAT COOKING FROM, I LOVE TO SEE YOU COOK,YOU SAY YOU LEARNED A RECIPE FROM YOUR DAD. YOU'VE MUST HAVE LEARN WHEN YOU WAS A LITTLE KID, WATCHING HIM, YOU TALE CARE CHAD💪💙👍😄😘 I'M WATCHING YOU NOW ON TV, I LAUGH WHEN YOU SAY WHISKEY, MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE IN A WESTERN MOVIE, YOURE A COOL AND HANDSOME GUY, LOVE YOUR DOG STAY SAFE !!!

Merry Christmas from Germany 🎄Yes, we are wishing that on the 24th of December already. I am always blown away by your videos. Lokking forward to many more adventures in 2023. Safe travels!!
I enjoy your videos, I am from northern New Mexico and that posole sure looked good. There is nothing like tradition NM food. I also love the Gila wilderness. Keep up the great job.
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.
Hello chad..its been a long time..thanks god i have my phone now..thank you always for the quality videos that you always share..the quality the sounds cimematograpy been there thsnk u and take care always
Wow BEAUTIFUL!!! You go to the best places. Kicking myself for not getting the Van Compass with lift. I have the VC 4.3. Your video is stunning. Oh and your dog is adorable!
You have an old video where you said this is your favorite road. I marked it in Gaia and my wife and I went there earlier this year. We had a magnificent time. Nice companion you have. Thanks for sharing.
That recipe looks delicious. And perfect for winter time. I wish I'd seen this video when it came out, it's downright hot down here in Savannah already.
I love the pure joy that your dog gets from just existing in some snow!
It is so enjoyable to watch your doggie hanging around with you and the meal you cooked looked so awesome!
From past 2 years i have fallen in love with the van life you have started ..... I am always excited to see new episode in the winter season everyday 😊 ...... Love for you ❤️
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.
No that was a terrible recipe…. Any one from 505 was like what the hell….
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.

Thanks again Chad for sharing your beautiful adventures. Wishing you a wonderful New Year with many more epic adventures to come.
I could watch your dog play with a stick for hours 🤣. Great vid once again 👍
the King of van life from an old man in a van!!!! This is the man that made me change my life!!!
22:44 - I appreciate the fact that you showed the temp in °c!
No place on Earth more beautiful than the Pacific Northwest
And love ur dog. Hes beautiful
It's pozole time! Dude, one of my favorites for sure. Nothing beats mom's pozole high praises to you, mom.
I can see why you call this spot one of your favorites to camp at in WA. It's absolutely gorgeous from all angles and the playful pup really lifted my spirits when you first got there
Merry Christmas 🚐💨🎄🇳🇴
There's nothing better than flavours and smells from childhood memories and traditions. Always keep-on tracking your wonderful documents!

I live in Washington state also so when I get my van you can come and visit.
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. 😏
This brought a tear to my eye as a day before seeing this vid i made a stew that my deceased dad used to cook for us...thanks for sharing.
This has everything on balance. Sometimes it feels that, when you watch somebodys youtube vid, you watch 30min ad. This one gave me good feeling
wow that right turn there @ 02:29 was some serious driving!!! tks for the videos love from Brazil
Your so lucky to have places like that to go. I'm mesmerised
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.

Your choice of music is always what makes these videos just absolutely amazing. Of course you as well Chad!
The titanic theme at the end! Perfect.
Clement by Miles Avida.
Perfect for my Christmas eve on my own with the flu here in the UK. Just what I needed to snuggle to.
Merry Christmas Chad and Trucker!!!

Reminds me of a show that could be on PBS on Saturday afternoon. Well done sir very entertaining.
I’m amazed (and impressed) by how much you trust your van, drone, and yourself 😊
This channel is worth watching for & kudos to Chad for doing all his vanlife journey without limit👏👏👏Happy Holidays everyone🎉🎉🎉
All praises to Jesus Christ 🙏❤️

The Cascades are some of my favorite places to play/hunt. Unpredictable weather but, gorgeous views, abound. Nice spot, indeed. Later.
like a traditional Turkish chickpea dish ,you are doing good .
I'm watching the video and now I'm sad that there is no snow in Croatia at the moment (abnormally warm +12C/+53.6F for this time of year). A man really knows how to enjoy himself to the fullest. Merry Christmas Chad!
Too bad, no snow.... we are blasted by snow! Hello from Canada!🥶
I visited Croatia last June. What a beautiful country you have.
Crazy how well the van does just being rwd with the air lock along with some decent tyres!
Living vicariously through you Chad...your channel has an exquisite blend of excitement, solitude, confidence and wisdom...served with a healthy side of mind blowing visuals and music...thanks for inviting me along for your adventures Chad

Phenomenal per usual. Definitely giving that recipe a try
Chad , when you post your videos, always look forward to them , magnificent scenery, great time to grab a coffee sit down and tuck into your videos. Coming to you from the land down under.
What a wonderful feeling it must be, to be alone with all that cold space!
This was just wonderful to watch, your cinematography/drone skills are just next level! Thank you for doing these videos and allowing all of us the opportunity to experience the great winter land trips you take, not to mention your great food cooking skills as well!
That's really deep snow. I am impressed by the van being able to get through that deep snow. Kuddos.
Happy Christmas Chad , and best wishes for the new year. Mostly a BIG thanks for these fantastic vidios you do for us all.
Aww!🥰Good boy in the campfire...🐕

Brave to drive on a road in conditions like that with a drop off not to far away😳
I finally made the pozole in my IP 6 qt at home. It turned out delicious!! First time I ever had pozole. I will definitely be making this again and again!
I’m from New Mexico and we made posole often. We just made some for Christmas. It’s cool to see how others make theirs. Stay warm!
High quality as always and great viewing for those of us with no access to such magnificent scenery, all the best Chad.

Great thing to watch before dinner. Inspired thanks. From a summers day in New Zealand

Nice companion you have. Thanks for sharing.
Right on! Yep, I really enjoy that country any time of the year! Thanks for watching!

Totally awesome video with you & Trucker. Thanks for sharing the beautiful sights. Coming to you from Mississippi.
I just found your channel and your new pup is just the cutest thing. I saw where he found you in the desert.
Almost a million subs! Keep up the good content. Drive safely.
Love what you do man. That van is gripping up that snowy mountain trail very well. Keep it rolling buddy
That recipe looks delicious. And perfect for winter time. I wish I'd seen this video when it came out, it's downright hot down here in Savannah already.
