Your winter camping videos are top tier. I know you love the West Coast sun but I hope you do more of these simple trips. Cinematography as always top notch.
It's a blast from the past. It is exactly these types of videos that drew me to your channel! Your content is fantastic, its warming to watch, and inspiring! Nicely done, looking forward to many more!
This is perfect. An episode like this will reset my mind for the week! I can't stop praising your work Chad. Everything in this video is perfect. This is like a slice of a person's life in a novel (like when you introduce a character). As always, I watch out for your choice of music to add to my list, and you never fail at that! Happy to see you with a lovely companion. A great addition to the channel.
Opening scene and you already know this is going to be epic, can’t beat winter episodes. One man his van and his dog some quality food and a whisky what else do you need in life
The Vanagon still has stories to tell…..and the Driver?…..He Excels in creating cinematic Art!! A 30 minute adventure for us to enjoy, but hours upon hours upon hours for dozens and dozens of camera Set ups, then editing, adding music…..to set the vibe to the story he crafts. Outstanding Chad!!! More Vanagon and Pup please. The Sprinter will take you to the most remote reliably, but the Vanagon??? It has a “soul” that makes every outing an Adventure!!! 😊
I have no words! Great music, great sceneries, great footage, Im speechless right now. I wish I could shake your hand and thank you for all this joy you are giving us, this is absolutely amazing...
Not sure what I like the most about this, is it the return of Westfalia, return to classic camping and eating type of videos, new fury friend or cinematography, which is probably best ever on this channel, which says a lot because that segment is always top notch. Wonderful!
Oh Chad, what a wonderful video!!! What did I miss, the good old T3 in this breathtaking winter landscape. I'm thrilled, I'd love to see more of this again. Greetings from Germany.
YES! I love the old van.. especially the winter vids with it. I currently run a Subaru for all my adventures on my channel. Hopefully one day I can upgrade to some sort of van and go full-time on TH-cam! Just trying to grow my channel!
The original and still the best chad, Love the vanagon (she is the best) and your winter van life videos, best POV, left hand on steering wheel, radio crackling away in the background with a weather warning of snow and blizzard conditions ahead, man, that sets the scene perfectly...And then to show us as you travel upwards above the snow line and up to mount Baker is awesome and lovely that you had the family dog with you..❤ And as always, lovely food with you and a whiskey... Beautifully shot Chad. Thankyou.
Man this is awesome! I never thought I’d ever see the vanigan again. Honestly I enjoy these videos more than the new van series. I just go back to the old videos. This gives me the cozy feeling and tranquility. I hope you keep making more of this type.
The way you filmed those trees at the beginning in slow motion, evoked emotion from me. Amazingly well done. Not the technicality of it, you understand. The foresight and choice, was spot on. You truly are a master of your craft.
Helll yeah Chad you made my wish come true !!!!! I’ve been asking you for this for a minute now, almost every other video I kept commenting you need to do a throw back and some people took it kind or personal but they don’t know the history of the westy. I really appreciate you my man. Keep on truckin
The Westfalia is back!!! YEY!! This is what we like about your videos Chad. We missed the VW. There is something special about the Westfalia, it is so cozy and homey!!!!!
Your videos are missing something for like a year now. It's alway driving, seeing nature, then doing a fire and cooking, all outside. I miss the time when you did shoots inside the van, you rarely do these anymore, this was my favourite part, it makes you feel comfy, beings inside the fans while it's cold and full of snow outside, making the food inside the van is also great. Pls bring these back.
Hey ya back. Nice to see the van still going strong and seeing your still using it. You said it would be staying with you and these videos inspired me to buy my own van and go off places. Nice to see you back chad and yes I do have a sticker of yours on my van in support.

OG vibes with this video. The old van, camping and cooking. A masterpiece!
@@LivingTheVanLife Cheers for bringing the old lady out of retirement. I've missed her like crazy. Your new Rig may have all the bells & whistles but she'll always be my favourite. Don't ever sell her unless it's to Me!
Well, looks like the overwhelming consensus here is that a vast majority of your followers (including me) love having you bring back the old and trusty Westy back for a reprise. That's what brought us here to your channel in the first place, driving a simple Swiss army knife vehicle to remote and beautiful places throughout the PNW camping and living the van life most of us can only dream of part time. I too have owned a twin blue 91 Westy Camper since 2007 and live vicariously through you with your vids.Hope you include more of your future videos with the VW mixed in with your awesome Sprinter you have as well. Safe travels and keep up the great work!!
Thanks, Jose! For local trips it's great to bust out the Vanagon and take her for a cruise. Glad you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching! Keep on truck'n!
Epic video Chad, reminds me of the old days when you did this, nothing has Soul like a Westfalia especially this one you've built, I would never sell that thing for nothing, lol! Just saying. Your cinematography and everything is on par with Nat Geo in my opinion, just outstanding man! I like how you keep it kind of like a high-end documentary, good background music not too much talking, the footage and the quality thereof with the arrangement tells the story and almost feel like I'm there.
I love the old van. So many memories. The sound quality on this vlog is next level. The music chosen, the food sizzling. I ate every bite with you lol. There is something utterly beautiful with the first snows of winter glazing the mountains. Thanks Chad for keeping your word and bringing us the old van. The whole video was relaxing.
It's so nostalgic to see the Warrior VW Westfalia. It brings me many memories from your first videos, and I am glad to see that VW is still running perfectly with that cozy and homey vibe. By the way, what is the puppy name?
Nice being back after months of nothing really watching and just seeing nothing has changed except a new cute addition to the channel, he looks happy and very cute. Got a say am I going through a rough time in my life and just love that i can chill and watch an amazing video like yours so thank you from a bottom of my heart.
Wow, Chad. One of my favorite videos of yours yet. All we have in life are moments in time. And I enjoyed the hell out of this moment. Asmr quality was through the roof too. Thanks as always for taking us along on your adventures. Cheers from Chicago brother!
OG Livin The Van Life!!! Thats How it started and thats exactly why I Fell in Love with the Channel!!! And thats what I Need when Everything is getting too much!!!
I am a Volkswagen Vanagon driver as well living 10 km away from the factory where yours an my camper were built. It's the Volkswagen-issue that brought me to your channel and I must admit it was your new camper that made your channel a little less interesting an fascinating. I love it that you go back to the roots for now, keep on🙂
Loved this! Everything about it, your shots, the flow, the scenery, the music! All beautiful! A very peaceful, happy, quiet, excellent quality 30 minutes spent watching your video. Thank you! ❤ Joy to you!
I can only agree with all the comments on this thread, great to see the original setup and winter camping video format, unbeatable video content, thanks so much for creating this and bringing back what almost seems like nostalgia! best wished from the UK
Your videos are in a different level. I can watch them all day long. Perfect shots and it's like it was made by a professional director. God bless you my friend.
I have missed the winter camping videos for a LONG TIME!!! Your camping companion is adorable. The Westfalia is in the HOUSE!!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!
These type of videos was the reason that we fall in love with your channel ....... but from last few months we were searching a videos like this on others channels bcoz we missed your videos ........ Never change the things 👍❤️
I am in awe of your talent with filmmaking and music overlays. You made me smile. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful piece of this world and your epic van. You inspire me 🤙
I’ve been missing videos like these. This is how I originally feel in love with your channel.
Yees not so attractive with sprinter
I couldn't have said it better Brennan 👍🚐 ❄️💯❤️🇦🇺
Couldn’t agree more.
Sprinter is too fancy
Agree. Nowadays it’s more like a hotel.
We need more winter camping and cooking videos please Chad!
less cooking, more camping. This aint the food network.
the main reason I subscribed was for the winter camping video's
Agreed. Camping & cooking, I like both haha.

👋👋👋👋
Pretty cool to see the Westfalia able to still go out and rock the van life! 🤘🏻

Welcome back OG Chad! We miss this type of camping, we missed the Westfalia.
Exactly my thoughts.

It’s always nice to have a dog as company during your lonely travels like this.
Your winter camping videos are top tier. I know you love the West Coast sun but I hope you do more of these simple trips. Cinematography as always top notch.

There are times that your videography is better than being there because the beauty-focused shots are so on point. Thank you.
The editing in this video is just on another level... you just keep getting better and better every upload and it shows, youre the best

Life evolves, grows and changes- Thanks for watching!
As much as I like your Sprinter but still the OG VW has it's own charm!!! Thank you for featuring it back again. GREAT video Chad
It's got soul for sure
Scrolling in the comments trying to find out. Did he get rid of his sprinter?
Hey Chad, Great to see the Westfalia out again, especially in winter. Like the "style" of this video - well done. Stay safe and best wishes.
The way you filmed those trees at the beginning in slow motion, evoked emotion from me. Amazingly well done. Not the technicality of it, you understand. The foresight and choice, was spot on. You truly are a master of your craft.
This channel is why I now have a Westy. I fell in love with these beasts via your videos. So great to see the van back in action.
Helll yeah Chad you made my wish come true !!!!! I’ve been asking you for this for a minute now, almost every other video I kept commenting you need to do a throw back and some people took it kind or personal but they don’t know the history of the westy. I really appreciate you my man. Keep on truckin
Old school! Yes, I love it . Good to see the old VW again and a new pup so cool. Very nice and thanks for bringing this style back.
A simple day trip videoed exceptionally well. Thanks for sharing Chad.
The Westfalia is back!!! YEY!! This is what we like about your videos Chad. We missed the VW. There is something special about the Westfalia, it is so cozy and homey!!!!!
The winter camping goat is back! Can't wait for a few more of these this season! Some of my favorite vids on youtube.
Your videos are missing something for like a year now. It's alway driving, seeing nature, then doing a fire and cooking, all outside. I miss the time when you did shoots inside the van, you rarely do these anymore, this was my favourite part, it makes you feel comfy, beings inside the fans while it's cold and full of snow outside, making the food inside the van is also great.

Keep this style up. Helps take me away from my everyday life. Perfect, Chad.
I’m glad you brought back the VW. And love the puppy. Keep up the awesome work.

Good old camping, cooking and vanagon video. Still can’t believe the amount of work that goes into these videos. Mad love man.

This was amazing! Chad, brings me back to the OG videos from last years. True story telling and without any talking.
Quality of the new drone footage is sick!
Modern cars are cool but there's something about driving a old westy puts a smile on your face. Stoked to see her again like back early days
Yep, it's been fun getting her out for a short spin. Thanks for watching!
Your videography sets you apart from other creators. Bravo
