Join along on this extreme mountain exploration expedition up into the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness area. In this video I climb high atop Pinyon Peak Lookout with my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia for an overnight campout in the region near Stanley Idaho. This road to Pinyon Peak is considered one of the most rugged roads in all of Idaho. I also explore some mountain biking and hot springs in the surrounding area.

Love from PAKISTAN ,, You really work hard making these type of cinematics.❤❤
Is this product is selling for canada .?
Chad your one of the best for our life style ,pls maintain this van for all of Us .
Probably your best video yet, Chad. I really enjoyed this one. I really like the way you take such a big bite out of life. Keep doing what you’re doing and stay safe out there. - Cathy
Was your dinner sponsored? FTC Disclosure Best Practices for TH-cam
Provide an audible disclosure explaining the material connection at the beginning of your video. This can be short and simple, but must make clear that you are being compensated by the brand.
And the Oscar goes to: Chad. For driving on a narrow single lane, butt clinching roads, While piloting a drone........ all for our pleasure.
mind blowing skill ;0
Seriously! Great editing and filming! You make me anxious hahaha...piloting that drone on those switchbacks. Idaho on my list!
Awesome job bro
Chad, you have nailed the cinematography, and the music is perfect... so scene appropriate! You are now a true professional and VW should use your material to advance the culture of van life! Better than anything produced in Hollywood, that for certain.
Another awesome “vicarious” adventure for those of us living the 9to5 life. Thanks Chad!
Bro your cinematography is on point. Also the fact that you're a one-man show just makes it that much more amazing
there aren't many channels I want in 4k... but this is one of them
Yeah I had to check the quality to see in TH-cam,surprised it was 1080p, watching on a shield pro isn't far off 4k to my eyes
I have to mention a couple of things ; you pick great music and it never "takes over" the segments you play it in, your filming is better every video I watch, and your getting better at the cooking thing. Every time too. Nice work Sir
I watch your videos with my father, although he doesn't understand English completely; we really enjoy watching it🥰
Is like Mount Chilead in GTA 5.. you just gotta take a bike off the edge now!
These tracking shots with the drone are just epic. Being a huge Kubrick fan, I can't help comparing them with the opening sequence from 'The Shining' - incidentally, Kubrick had 2 helicopter crews and a few million dollars but if he were alive today, I reckon he'd be impressed. Awesome work dude.
Hello Chad. Grandma Iris here. My grandfather built roads in the Pennsylvania Poconos. He had a wooden leg and a pin holding the other together. On two separate occasions the steam roller lost control & ran over his legs. As you can imagine-it was an extremely dangerous job. Thank you for taking us places that most of us will never see. Your a very talented young man 🙏✌️🌎💕
Wow! Thanks, Grandma Iris! I love and appreciate you sharing your grandfather's story with me. I have a real appreciation for those that went before me and built these roads, an amazing achievement to say the least. Thanks for watching! Keep on Trucking!
Things I want:
1. Eternal Happiness
2. World Peace
3. A Volkswagen Westfalia
Only 3rd one is possible 👍.
Haha hard work and dedication man
Ha! We thought the Same Thing back in the 70’s ❤️ everybody was going somewhere together
John 3: 16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE.
Romans 6: 23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 4: 13
Jesus answered and said, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into EVERLASTING LIFE.”
John 14: 27
Peace I leave with you, MY PEACE I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Revelation 3: 20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

It's really hard work to create such videos (driving, biking while setting camera many times ) for others. And this is the reason why we all follow your channel. 👍
I'd never want to leave those hot springs and when I saw those dogs inside the bar, I'd never want to leave Stanley, ID. The older I get the more I crave simple living and small town life. Under a 100 pop. sounds perfect.
Amazing! This whole video seemed like an art piece for us to enjoy. Thank you!
Fantastic adventure. How can anyone not like your style Chad. Number one explorer.
It's really heart braking to see all those fires destructions..so sad.
Thats just how this planet works. When you have alot of overgrowth you end up with deadfall, and with both combined in a dry climate all you need is 1 lightning strike to set it off
@jimpoppin natural fires happen all the time
@A Girl Has No Name alot of them could be climate change. Who knows if this planet has ever had this much pollution before
The ride up..... YIKES! what if another car was coming on the other side???? Great tip on the tires, thanks
@A Girl Has No Name Climate Change prevents sufficient time for the forest to regenerate. That's why it happens so often. California is now a tinderbox. Reverse Climate Change and the forests won't keep burning.
All your videos are so amazing! But this my friend was the bomb. The filming along with the intense music made me feel like I was right there along for the ride. I was excited and anxious and feeling overwhelmed at times. WOW! This was intensed. I was also mesmerized! You are truly amazing, Mr. Chad! I am in the process of selling my house and hitting the road in a Van. I can't wait! Thank you for the inspiration! Cj xx
I'm only 12 minutes in but I have to say, what a stunning piece of work Chad. Brilliant.
Chad is a man that’s stays on a mission stay exploring, stay happy,stay safe!
Chad, as soon as I saw the okra in the bag, that sold me on the Alpineaire meals. I keep Mountain House and 4Patriots Only meals in my overland camping kit. The Jetboil is a modern marvel. For simple overnighters I take leftovers and pack them into bento boxes...eating them cold as I usually stealth camp in a nearby forest that I park off property then hike into it. Dude, your cajones must be bigger than your heart. Ten thousand feet, super rough road, and two-wheel drive?! That ain't computing! I've driven to the top of Haleakala Crater at 10,000+ feet but on paved road to watch sun rises. My Jeep SUV with 4X4 option would be a huge question mark to make it up that high and your ground clearance seems to be greater as well. I sat in awe as you operated your drone while driving up the mountain. Man, I know that feeling as you stand up at the very mountain's top and take in that deep breath. While stationed in Europe I backpacked and skied in the Alps. For so many of us who are in the "golden years" and watch your videos it reminds us of our youth and the craziness we enjoyed. Thank you, Chad. Post note: VW should consider using this video in an ad.
I hate okra...
Wow! Such a magnificent views.😍 You've been blessed to be in a place only few has the privilege to see. Thanks for sharing.🙏 ❤
Just watched it for the 2nd time with my son who is studying film in college we are both in awe of your drone footage the music fits it perfectly
Chad, I know this isn't the first time you've heard this, you are TH-cam's best content creator. The documented adventures are awe inspiring and leave me enveus. Aside from that, what amazes me even more, is that your a solo cinematographer. Wow, you are such a talented person.
Best is Subjective.
Nice of top mountain view. Keep up the good work. Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩 💛💛💛.
Watching ur videos daily in repeat
♥️From India 🇮🇳
Love it when a notification arrives from you! Awesome!
As a film maker myself, I freaking LOVE your videos bro. Your audio work is so clean, your shots are thought out. I’m so impressed you shoot alone. Love the music you choose. I look forward to every single one of your videos man! Keep it up!
I'm your big fan here in South Africa 🇿🇦
👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇨🇴🇨🇴🍺
Good morning everyone! Indiana here! Thank you for the inspiration. I've learned so much from you, you wouldn't believe what I get out of every minute of your documentary's. Filming is outstanding. Thank you. Anita
That was an awesome video! Humbling and epic scenery on a mountain above mountains, some downhill mountain biking finished off with a few beers and hot food. Living the dream Van Life!
What a special place. It’s so beautiful, I don’t usually get emotional about camping but it’s incredibly beautiful. Wow 🤩
As always, just great video. I am glad that you are able to enjoy all those adventures. Take care and I look forward to next time.
Miss your “home cooking”
TH-cam doesn't deserve these beautiful videos! The most underated TH-camr
Chad bud I have to say you are a example of the simple life. I appreciate what this channel has done for me. I would love to live life simple. Dude please don’t ever change. I hope to one day do something like this.
You are an inspiration Chad, since joining your channel, my van and myself have been out to many new places, ive started learning to use cameras, I've upgraded elements of equipment and areas of the van too and I'm pushing myself toward new adventures. I refer to you for new gear, skills, tools etc and the videos just don't get old, your filming is out of this world too and the places you go are just bloody amazing!
Id just like to say thank you mate! Im looking forward to bigger and better from you !
Damn brother...your drone footage is FREAKIN AMAZING!!
It's 7pm local time for me, i've been writing code for 12 hours today and video's like these keep me going TY you sir. Cheers
Hey Chad, the music was absolutely perfect for creating drama and mood. Another awesome video. Thank you
Sic video my friend! When you open the van door in the morning to reveal the picturesque view you were enjoying, priceless.
Great to see you again Chad! Thanks for the video. :)
Greetings from Germany!Driving the same Vanagon here 🚌
Wow! driving that road up the mountain while operating a drone! That was an amazing trip. One wrong move and you're dead. Beautiful photography, excellent production, and over time watching your channel, I've come to love your van. A bike workout, rest in a hot spring, some warm food and a little alcohol at the end of the day - Perfect!
Wow!I'm so afraid of heights. I'm glad I have you to take me places I'd never see thank you Chad great video.olwen in ca.
I cannot believe what breathtaking Scenery you put together here. Idaho in the West and North is extremely beautiful!
Another stellar video. Thank you for taking me along.
Hello. Another good one, Chad! Thank you. I just love watching your adventures.
Chad man , the shots you capture and the way you put it out there, man it’s beautiful, really spectacular and appreciate it man . Keep up the good work
Life is an Adventure..💫🙌
What you are doing is really inspiring. Travelling alone in very remote area with your van and takes cinematic video is amazing. Take care always with your journey and stay healthy. God bless you.
Awesome as always - Thanks for showing us some amazing places in the U.S. - you’ve inspired me to get another westy ! 🇬🇧
The drone shots are SO good and the music is perfect. Wow, I have said it and i`ll say it again, your videos are amazing and the cinematography on top. I LOVE IT! Bought my own Vw T3 this year at 17 yrs old. I am making it into a camper so that I can drive out into the wilderness in Sweden and make videos like this. Take care, be safe and don`t forget to vote! /Tuve Hallams
Nothing like an outdoor adventure and a hot springs soak. Awesome video Chad.
ooohh WOW you are just amazing !! the footage, photography, the scenes, just off the scale, how you do this on your own is incredible, a full film crew would struggle to match the quality of this, i look forward to each episode, and cant wait to see what you are doing next. this is so professional and i find my self catching my breath the footage is so amazing.. this is so awesome... i have one request.. i love the cooking section so much, set up camp make a fire, then the cooking section i just love the Dutch oven and cooking ideas, just think that for me makes it, its the camping / van life bit thats just brilliant. keep going your Awesome!
I remember how eerie forests could look in dark arctic snowy nights with the borealis flickering and dancing over the sky, iluminating the landscape. I bet those burned out woods could look scary in a horror movie - cabin fever situation or something:))
Thank you for taking us along with your awesome adventures.
One of the best videos I've watched. Thank you Chad.
Great video brother 👊your living the life that a lot of people Dream of. some beautiful site's....
