Van Life in The Arctic - Part ONE - Living The Van Life

Winter Content has always been a huge hit here on Living The Van Life. This winter season, I just was not satisfied with driving to a snowy parking lot and setting up camp. So instead I decided to see what it would take to live in a van in the extreme climate of the arctic. Join me in part 1 of a 3 part series as I drive my 2020 Mercedes 4x4 Sprinter Van to the Arctic Ocean.

I'm in a wheelchair, living vicariously through you, friend! THANK YOU!!

[Ambohouse]

Putting out content in 2 months solo what a film crew takes a year to do. Production value of your videos blows my mind. Amazing

[singhthe_king]

All people wanted was a simple easy going winter camping video.
Chad : hold my beer, I am travelling to Arctic.

[justkiddin]

I drove trucks in Alaska for years, one thing I loved was the trip from Anchorage to Seattle, such a beautiful drive. I sure do miss it.

[Singhpala]

This has to be one of the best content ever made on your channel and on YouTube 👏
Nothing but respect and appreciation

[youaligned]

Love watching your adventures. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into producing videos of this quality. Well done!

[DonSudy]

Beautiful blend of cinematography, blogging and story telling. Kept me in the journey. Looking forward to the next episode.

One of the best channels on YouTube, amazing footage and content, well done Chad! Keep on trucking! Can't wait to see the upcoming chapters!

Chad, we just came across your video to the Arctic. You did a Masterful video! Your photography, editing and dialog are super!
We have been adventurers for over 50 years and now our travels are close to home as we are in our 70’s and 80’s. So we thank you for sharing your travels with us.
God bless you, keep you safe and healthy and We hope to see you many times to come!

The filming and drone shots are fantastic - I really got a sense of the scale and isolation. Wonderful content - can't wait until the next episode!!

[sierramantrvlnus]

I was beginning to think you were in a Mexican jail! Haha! This trip looks like it's going to be fantastic. Can't wait to hear how well your systems work. So far so good!

[janh.]

Well done Chad! Your Sprinter looks like a MRAP, real tank, love it! Can't wait to see part 2. It's unbelievable that you do all this video stuff by your own! National Geographic can't do better. Greats from Germany

[brandon]

Yes.
Winter is the best season to camp.

[maryzaletel]

It is refreshing seeing you live and roam in your van, versus so many vandwellers just showing their stuff and advertising for companies. So glad I found you. Great video! Thanks for being real!!

[claramullen]

Epic... this was definitely worth waiting for. Chad as always your adventures just blow me away thank you for sharing your experiences. Take care.

[TTVAN]

OMG, I LOVE YOUR VAN!!! WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO LIVE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPACE!!! I FEEL WARM AND COZY JUST CHECKING IT OUT! I CAN TELL YOU REALLY DID YOUR HOMEWORK!

[LetmeTellyou]

Just when van lifers say winter camping, Chad is like: that’s cute .. I am camping in the Arctic.

[mitchkenvin]

Wonderful job you’ve done. Incredible scenery and it gives me a real feel for what you were going through. Excellent adventure ✌️❤️

[theoriginalrabbithole]

I gotta say as someone new to the channel, the drone footage of the winter landscapes is just amazing! and the 'fast-forwarding through through front window' is really nice too because is gives you an actual perspective without taking too long. Keep up the good work and keep exploring! There's hundreds of little towns up there going all the way to the Bering Sea as far West as Wales, Alaska. *Liked & Subscribed.

PS Chad one thing I really love about your videos is the constant temperature checks, it adds another dimension to your videos.
