In this episode of Living The Van Life, my son Jaydon and I take my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia campervan out into the Mount Baker Wilderness to do some hiking up to Bearpaw Mountain Lake for some alpine lake trout fly fishing. From there we set up camp around the van and build a campfire for some cowboy style cooking in a cast iron skillet.

When the state of the world can feel super scary and stressful, I’m really grateful that I can swing on over to your channel and be transported to a beautiful place, and be really uplifted with your positivity and positive outlook. Keep being you, Chad! Thanks for chilling me the heck out!

Turn off the television and read some Walt Whitman. That will help complete your virtual experience.
Same in here. Agree with you 💯%
You got the makings of a good Dad! The time goes by faster than we know never to return. Enjoy those moments while you can and have lasting impact on your son that he will love you for and pass on to his kids someday. Life is outside!
Perfect timing dropping this video. I took my head out of watching TV politics and refocused it on the beauty of the outdoors. Nature is truth. Thanks.
I truly freaking love this comment. I’m very happy that I can provide that freedom for you! Keep on truckin in the free world my friend.
@@LivingTheVanLife You made my day reading that.
Thank you amigo.
Us urban dwellers cherish this 'back to the woods' experience. Makes one bring to life 'survival of the fittest' skills, to life . . . Lol ! Upon completion . . . rests a night, under the stars - after sunrise, and breakfast (and always remember, cleanup) . . . back to your vehicle for transport, back to civilization ! Ahhhh . . . . . .
Bummer . . . rested the night, in your van . . . not, below the stars. Weather . . . was in your favor !
Jus the right ingredients . . . for a hearty breakfast ! And, Mt Baker no longer clouded !
Chad, your one of the original ones that brought this life to me. Major love for you for doing that. As for your bonding time with your boy. Way to make those life memories. Respect 😎
Holy hell! Thanks for the very awesome comment. I’m glad that I was able to help you with that! Thanks for being part of the channel.
Hi Chad i am watching your videos in 2020 today is March 18 2020 learning alot . I will be starting out camping in the summer in Wildwood New Jersey to start. I am 60 years young and learning. Thank you keep on Trucking .
Man, you are living the dream and the envy of many a men, it just couldn't get any better than this. Pristine pure surroundings, nothing but calm and quiet, good company and the ultimate camping weekend with the Van. Thanks for making it feel so close and keep up the good work...👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Chad 🤙🏽 I’m so inspired watching your channel, your demeanor and lifestyle is intoxicating...you are living my dream, lol. Also, nice to see the guidance and bonding with Jayden...those memories you create together will last a lifetime. It’s so obvious that he looks up to you, much respect. Cheers‼️
Ok. Loved this. The both of you, made this feel so wholesome and fun to watch. This needs to be a thing Chad, the both of you doing this on a regular basis!
Lovin’ that idea! Thanks for the feedback.
Yes! Back doing what you do best babe! So much I love about this!!! ❤️ You two so chilled, enjoying life’s simple pleasures together - my absolute fave! 🙌😘
Thank you babe! Very much appreciated. And thanks for all of your inspiration and support. Couldn’t do it with out you!
Ann in a Van wait that his gf?
@@hellohellohello6847 im pretty sure they know eachother well
Lee she comes from a land down under.
Hello hello hello !!!! Bet he posted that unedited video on PH
Way to go Chad and Jaden, theres nothing like a father son camping adventure! The view of Mt Baker is unbelievable! Its awesome that you have wilderness like that to go exploring. Your filming is first rate as usual, thanks for taking us all along!
Glad enjoyed. Thanks for watching.
This is easily one of your best videos Chad. Thanks for sharing and please continue with this content. Father and son experimenting with survival techniques and living the van life, absolutely brilliant!
Thank you for watching and I appreciate the very kind words. Thank you for the support! Cheers.
Great video Chad. I LOVED the combination of driving, hiking, fishing, cooking, camping and the aerial views. Looking forward to seeing more videos like these. You did great with the batoning, feather sticks and fire starting!!!
I love these types of videos, especially the cooking segments. I am mostly a weekend camper and not that often at that, so these videos give me the satisfaction for when I am missing camping. Thank you!
Hey welcome back Chad. This video is what I do. I don't make videos, but I know bushcraft, and survival like a pro. I go out often in my old Chevy van and practice a lot. 20 years now. I'd be happy to help ya with any questions. Like your method of fire starting. Fire starting is all in the preparation, and your choice of material for tender for sparking. Of course lighters, and matches are easiest, but a ferrocerium rod, (ferro rod) require more work, but work in all weather. Even wet. For tender, use birch bark, or pine shavings. Both have flammable oils. Now for best results, the shavings should be supper thin. Like that of a pencil sharpener. Or fluff it up with the back of your knife or something. Not cutting shavings, but scraping fluff off the pine wood stick.remove the bark first. Now birch bark, you just place it inside up on the ground, then scrape it with your blade side to side. You'll see a sawdust looking fluff that will easily take a spark. Remember, the finer the shavings, the easier it will catch a spark. Sorry brother I'm trying not to write a book. Thanks for your video I enjoyed it. See you on the next one.
This is awesome feedback! Very cool. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this information. Thank you!
How lovely only just watched this episode but really nice to see you with your son well done Chad these are things he will remember for life
Cant wait for the winter camping videos!!!
Winter is coming very soon. I have been hankerin' for a good winter storm to blow in. I have my weather apps looking out for me.
I cannot believe I am just now discovering this amazing channel. My GF and I have the day off from the grind of working at the hospital and we have been watching these videos for 4 hrs straight.😆 The winter camping (something I have extensive experience w/myself, here in Vermont) videos are particularly awesome!! FANTASTIC channel. Got yourself some brand new subscribers!!
Anything cooked over a campfire just tastes better! Thanks for taking us along
Beautiful photography. It's nice to see a natural environment where someone hasn't built a monstrosity of a house that they only use twice a year.
Thanks for watches my.
Total agreement with Kiki, just a nice break from all the uncertainty and turbulence. Keep making these much needed cool mental breaks. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
On foot, in the van, you find the best spots to camp. I enjoyed this video! Thanks for taking us along.
I say, this is a cherry berry fancy camping. The van, the dirt road, the view, the food, and the prep is so classy. Love it n wanna try it.
Hallo my name is Prabash from India living in the state of Kerala it’s in the south of India , I love to travell like you in a camper van. But here camper vans are not so common, but many people started using camper vans nowadays inspired by watching your u tube videos, you are an awesome adventurous person , no doubt about it, keep travelling, I would like to see some of your adventures trips to the wilderness of alaska
Would be interesting to watch some van life in India as well :)
Word of advice, for your flint steel always try to put some magnesium shavings down (majority flit steels have some attached with them) as it helps as an accelerant or carry some dryer lint kept in a water tight container as it works as FANTASTIC kindling. Couple either with the find wooden shavings you had and you’ll be golden to get it starts much easier.
Also, try using the back edge of your knife when striking as using the cutting edge will fill it out much quicker.
The places you find to camp are just mesmerizing...you have a nack of locating heaven on earth my friend...god bless you
Awesome video man! Love the cooking on cast iron. What a great way to hang out with your son too. These will be great memories for you both. Keep em' coming! Thanks for sharing
Excellent!! You’re back! Hopefully plenty of videos in your future, especially some winter, snowy videos. Btw, nice to see a video with your ur son. Great stuff! Enjoy!
Heck yes! Gearing up for the season indeed!
Absolutely stunning view! I really wish one day i could visit that lake. Thank you Chad!
Glad you took your time with this young man. We need more people to step up and make a difference in there young lives. Makes a huge difference in the future 😊
Ever since I found your TH-cam channel I’ve not stopped watching! I enjoy watching so much! Brings back memories of my childhood camping 🏕️ Currently I’m not able to camp anymore due to my age and health issues. So I appreciate your work very much, thank you 🙏🏻
Love this video!!!! What an amazing lake!!! Awesome campfire cooking!!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!!
I love watching these videos: they are so relaxing. The views are epic and I can learn skills as I watch.
Yet another great video. Its good to see you out there with your boy. And what a beautiful part of the country. You are inspiring my friend.
its fun watching you guys figure it out. Wont be long and your confidence will soar.
I absolutely love the sound of a Coleman lantern.
Something calming about it right???
I'm sure you meant "I absolutely love the sound of a Coleman lantern in the morning" (Ala Apocalypse Now).Hahaha. Cheers.

Mr. Chad, you got a son!!!
Woah! I thought you were single all this time! 😎
Like father like son. Awesome Mr. Chad.
@@zirenzk5443 I have been single all this time.
@@LivingTheVanLife
Woah 😎
You're a man of a real Talent Mr. Chad!
I really love your talents and also your videos and the hardworking behind the videos!
💝
And really thank you for replying my comment ! 💝
Dude. What a nice touch to bring Jaydon along. Back in the day when my son was about 4 or 5, I started to bring him along to my camping, fishing or just travelling trips. As a result of this, we forged a very strong relationship at a point that now that he is 32 and I'm 60 (almost old geezer material - hahaha) we still have a very good father and son relationship and best of all, we are best buddies. Every year we manage to leave everything and everyone aside for a couple of days for some good old fashioned father and son/best buddies travelling. Cheers and be well.
That is very awesome to hear! Thank you for sharing that. And thanks for being part of the channel.
No Sweat. Keep on teaching him to love and respect Nature and I guarantee you he will grow up to become a man of good. Greetings and cheers from Guatemala City, Guatemala, Central Amaerica. il Babbino Ravello.

Hahaha. So true. Some day he might. Someday, TH-cam channels will be family heirlooms that are handed down.
This is awesome..beautiful view and beautiful lake..it's like paradise..
You inspired me to pull my van out of the backyard and get that thing running again to do some van camping.A few ideas to make your camping easier. The first two things I would do go to Walmart buy yourself one of those boonie hats with the fishnet to keep yourself from getting zeka from mosquitoes. Second get yourself a magnesium stick for your fire building. One must have 3 items I have found for truck and especially van life would be a 2000 W power inverter. 1)use it to run a reciprocating saw saw Metal cutting or pruner wood blade. You can use it for cutting those trees or pallets for the campfire. 2)Coffee maker for hot water for food or one of those converted bug sprayer warm showers. 3) To run a TV and DVD player hooked into a cigarette plug FM Transmitter to give the surround sound affect through the car speakers. Note I did this in my van during lunch breaks with a smaller wattage power inverter.It was excellent.
If you do decide to get yourself a power inverter what I did to save money buy a car battery jumper cables and cut off one end to attached to the power inverter. If you want to go first class cut the second off and put on high amperage quick disconnect Alexander plug.
You are the man. I’ve went and camped at a couple of the same places as you. Love the smell of campfire cooking
That’s awesome! I’m glad that you have got out to some of the spots
Fantastic! Loved the cooking segments too! ❤️
Awesome! Thanks for watching
I love my Schrade SCHF9 or "Chef 9" and the Gerber Strongarm...great bushcrafting knives. Your videos are awesome, Chad, whether you're camping in your van or taking a walk in the woods. My favorite activity while camping is experimenting with food recipes. Trout fishing is my other love.
What a nice dad, letting the kid drive out of the woods.
It’s time he learns!
Somehow..... On a full stomach I can watch you cook and find myself starving again. Wow! Great videos. I’m a big fan..
Best news today for me is that I noticed there is new video from you, thanks dude I liked it alot and amazing view you guys had there in the mountains and delicious food and a lots of garlic is awesome!

Love your van camping and camp cooking videos. Jealous of your rig also haha. Keep up the good content my man.
That inexpensive Schrade knife really does the job. Welcome back Chad. 😁
Honestly it has been a really awesome tool! Very good value for the cost. At that cost I do not feel bad for beating the crap out of it. But it actually holds up.
Great combination van, cooking and fly fishing 🎣
Great to see you and your boy out in the North Cascades! Perfect times & memories.
Hello chad. Its orlando . Glad to see you and your son doing stuff outdoors. Your a good man . May jesus be with u .

Well done sir ... I really appreciate the father and son vibe.
Awesome! Glad to hear
Love it, can’t wait until my kids are a little bit older to do some camping “cowboy style!”
THanks for watching!
Nothing to stop you now. I’ve taken my son out since I carried him in a backpack.
What a beautiful place!! Love those drone shots!
