    My time in Moab Utah is complete and it is time for me to head south and west. I found myself an interesting overland route that takes me out of the area and into Northern Arizona via Beef Basin.

    Beautiful scenery and everyone needs to be patient. Chad films a lot of footage and then needs to edit it for upload. He's doing it in between his day job - I'm sure he's got winter adventures coming up. I am enjoying what he is releasing as it's ready.

      Amen to that Gnomie! Thanks for being an advocate, and everything you say is correct. I’ve been on the road for 4 months and have a large library of footage that I have been working on editing thru to produce content for everyone to enjoy. I’ve been editing nonstop every day since Dec 19, 2021 to get this library of footage sorted, edited and up on TH-cam so that I can move on to winter content.

I think instead, of the thoughts that I would have. This life, we each have, we all have, is so individual to all of us - but here I am connected like watching a dream, a lifestyle so different to my own. I contemplate, and appreciate, and thank you for sharing all that you do. Wishing you well Chad.

      You're entitled to your opinion, and you're wrong I believe. Because you said we, and you certainly don't speak for me.
      Chad's videos have a vibe. A form of symmetry. I know how he builds his fire, but it still is welcome and relaxing to see everytime. Because I know it's going to Segway into a wonderful piece of cooking, or relaxation by the fire while he gives some of his insights.
      The amount of entitlement in your comment reaches legendary levels. Chad makes beautiful videos, and you get to watch for free. He owes you nothing.
      I hope he doesn't take your comment to heart. It is a comment that can only dishearten, not inspire.

    • @LivingTheVanLife
      @LivingTheVanLife  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Are you going to watch me build a fire if it's in the snow?
      It is actually my favorite thing to do while camping - the building of a fire. It's one thing I enjoy about filming these episodes and it’s very satisfying editing the fire scenes together as well. I wasn’t actually trying to educate anyone that I know how to build a fire. You know that I know how to drive a van as well, but yet every video features me driving a van thru the scenes.
      Everyone loves to have fire while out camping. It's one aspect of these adventures that people can relate to. So, as I work hard to capture the essence of what it’s like to be out on these camping experiences and bring it home to people enjoying these videos from their living rooms, the fire building is important part of the whole experience.
      You'll get snow when I feel like showing you snow. And I will make sure you know I know how to build a fire in the snow as well.

    The narrative sitting on the bluff was very nice. I'm 70 now but I did live Van Life on the weekends for many years before Van Life was cool lol Mine were DIY, most built with my kids. Now those times are their favorite memories. Mine too. This was an awesome video! My son is also a Chad, it's a name with strong character 🙂

    Hi Chad I have been watching you on TH-cam some of your stuff a year ago and even two years ago. I lost my husband around a year ago so I'm trying to continue my life I have been interested in tiny houses schoolies and so on I bought a small teardrop vintage camper just so I can get the feel of it. You are so inspiring I love how you make the best meals ever in the snow even. I watched you make a spaghetti sauce meal in the snow you had to finish the noodles in the van because the weather got so bad but your pasta looks so good I had to get up off the couch and go make a small batch of spaghetti sauce it was nothing like yours I just had to have some. I love the fact that you make these wonderful meals while camping in all kinds of conditions and it keeps me coming back to you watch your videos it also shows us what we could do. I appreciate you. Sincerely Linda gunterman

    I found your channel 5 years ago through owning my own t3 westfalia, which I've now also just retired to the garage and bought a new vw t6.1 this year and I'm in the process of building it out. I know exactly how difficult it can be keeping the old vw's on the road and they can tend to let you down when you really want to go on a trip. Hence why I upgrade and chad did to. But the old westys will always be in our hearts. Keep on trucking man!!
