Surviving a Snowstorm In a Van - Van Camping in Heavy Snow

Solo camping in a snowstorm, overnight in a cosy van while the snow falls outside and freezes the sorroundings with strong winds.

I love this. No language, no barriers. Just those of us who love the mountains, the snow, the freedom of camping. Good food, a bottle of wine and just enough warmth to get by. All that is needed, thank you for sharing.

Vicariously enjoyed the beauty of winter. Thank you for no music or voice, just simple.

Everybody in the world can watch your video because of no language barrier ❤

Непередаваемые ощущения, при просмотре подобных видео.
Обожаю холод, мороз, снег. И эта демонстрация уюта, когда вокруг бушует холод - самое замечательное

Thank you. After learning the best way to stay warm (knee hi nylon socks!) And eating meat and carbs (fuel for the body), plus staying hydrated, it brought me many fond memories. If you layer your sleeping area with rugs and blankets, and maybe newspaper, to block the air, plus totally change into clean undergarments before sleeping, you will stay warmer. I camped in -22°F comfortably, as long as there was no cold air around my bedding or in my sleeping bag. I kept my clean clothes around my feet, and it kept my feet warm and I dressed in warm things in the morning.

Погода огонь!!! Обожаю когда метель, а ты в тепле и сытый в окно поглядываешь!))) Автор молодец!

❤ thank you so much for having no annoying loud disruptive music going on while we're trying to concentrate and enjoy what's being presented. And thank you for the extra effort involved in getting in and out of your van to set up your camera so we can share this snowy adventure. God bless you!

It looks incredibly comfy in that little van, with the tiny wood burning stove. Been wanting a vehicle like that, a more modern sort of camper van like my Grandfather had. I don't remember the details about it other then it was a GMC van, had a couch in the back that folded into a bed, a small bench that folded out beside the couch as a seat or side table, even had a small cupboard and sink with 2 small floating cabinets. I wish I knew more about it before my uncle sold it shortly after my grandfather passed away. It would have been roughly the same size as that VW van, would have loved to have kept that van and fix it up. It did have a bad transmission and a few other things were in bad need of repair, but like that van was special, and also long gone. Every once in a while a smell will remind me of the van as it had a smell I can't remember, but if I smell something similar it brings back the memories of the van, which had carpets everywhere and was a dark green colour carpets, with driver and passenger seats, as well as the couch to match it... ugly colour but what I would give to see that van again if it hasn't been cubed or parted out... It has been like 10 years so who the hell knows where it is now...

In early times, when I was a younger, I had the same VW . My family, three boys and wife, made a lot trips and cooking, washing and sleeping was an adventure. Now, I am 73, when I see you in your adventure…. I dreaming still in our VW bus…
Many thanks for sharing your video. Greetings from us in Holland 🌷🌷

That Lake river shot was amazing and tranquil. Great job Rodrigo showing us how to live in comfort withstanding nature's torments.

Amigo no se si disfruté más de ese mate, de la carne, las tomas increíbles de paisaje, ese silencio ensordecedor o de esa botella de vino que degustaste! Sencillamente tu video es una obra terapéutica para la mente... Gracias! Saludos desde Paraguay 🇵🇾❤️

LOVED the shots of your van from outside as it was growing dark. Just a cheerful little VW van sitting in a parking lot with those lights on inside. It inspires one to ponder the possibilities...

I was born and raised in northern Minnesota & this is my jam ✌️

[brazillianphysicist]

Tem horas que precisamos sair da vida cotidiana, ir pra natureza e desfrutar de um bom chimarrão, uma carne e da paz de estar sozinho e desligado do mundo...
Ótimo vídeo, espero um dia poder acampar desse jeito!

[julierosenberg]

Pls submit this to Sundance. I was enthralled w/this video! U can also have some low vol George Winston music in the background… I was an avid VW owner for most of my life w/many different yr models. This is beautifully put together. Pls enter it at Sundance and other Film festivals!

Just breathtakingly beautiful.
The pure sounds, the snow, the coziness of the cute van.
So relaxing, just to watch.
Makes me want to be there.
Perfect!

This reminds me very much of Colorado mountain winter camping in my old VW camper van. I was in an unprotected area and the winds of a 2 day snowstorm blew so hard for so long that when it was over my engine compartment was packed solid with snow, and I had to spend nearly an hour digging out the engine compartment before I could drive the 50 yards back to the highway. The drive itself was very easy because the wind had blown the ground almost completely bare of snow. After that I carried cardboard to duct tape over the vents in the engine compartment. Yes, the rig had been physically rocking during the storm. Colorado winds can be brutal. A micro-bus with chains on is amazing in snow, with enormous ground clearance, and the engine weight over the drive wheels.

I love how this guy is going into harsh conditions with equipment that isn't the best but gets the job done. Other YouTubers that make similar content always use high end vehicles and the equipment used is overkill. This is real overlanding/camping!

nacido y criado en el sur, acostumbrado de toda la vida a la nieve y el frio, me encanta ver videos así porque me traen recuerdos. Primero digo "que raro" no sabía que había fosforos tres patitos en Estados Unidos y cuando vi el mate ahí me di cuenta que eras argentino ajjajajaja. Una vida yendo a hacer fuego a la montaña, mucho silencio, autodiálogo, mate. A veces pesanco o canzando... pero tengo mas vida afuera de casa que adentro. excelente video!
