Camping and Cooking - Living The Van Life

On this episode of Living The Van Life - I take the Sprinter van out into some of my favorite backcountry in the Okanogan region of North Central Washington State. After hitting some really cool trails, I hunker down in camp, build a campfire and cook a hot pot of baked lasagna in the dutch oven. Join for the adventure.

This guy always seems to make better meals in a van than most do at home. Kudos to you Sir. Always great videos too.

Chad, im sure you've heard it a thousand times before but I just wanted to thank you for what you do, my 7 year old and I love watching your videos together, we are just starting new adventures as he gets older and your work is not only educational but very calming and inspirational as well, keep up the amazing work

[myvanlife]

I wasn't even hungry and that food made my mouth water, bet that was sooo delectable!!!

[countingcoup]

“through trial and error, that’s how you discover happy accidents”... Perfect 🤙🏽

[mariem.]

After my 10-12 hour shifts, I like to kick back and enjoy adventures like these. Thanks!!

[vince]

Never forget....contentment is a gift so few realize...

[williambrown]

I am totally convinced that with a full crew you could produce a hit Hollywood movie.

[Gunny_st]

Hey Chad. How about a full tour of the Sprinter inside and out now that it's up and running?

[GoGo-tkui]

I can not do nearly as close to what Chad does but his video has been great inspiration for my new life in Colorado. I was always big city girl but slowly learning and exploring mountain life with my dog. So glad that I found this channel.

Chad’s channel has inspired me to break away from my ‘safe’ comforts of a traditional campground to exploring more of the backcountry via National Forest roads! Thanks man.

Dude, your cooking game has definitely gone up. Your rockin an awesome chefs knife, your meal prep was done flawlessly, I loved the deglazing of all that fond on the bottom of the pan from cooking the ground sausage, and the end result looked absolutely amazing! That’s the one thing that truly stands out when you’re Overlanding and living an Off-road Lifestyle. The freaking food you make . Eating fantastic cooked meals makes the whole journey that much more rewarding at the end of the day! I love your content and your videos and of course I can’t wait to see updates on your van as you go! Lastly, I really enjoyed your heart felt words at the end of this video. Always keep an open mind and an open heart because you never know what might be coming your way! Those are words to live by! Cheers bro!

[Kikifriedmann]

Yes there is somethin much bigger out there, we just have to go within to find it!!
Beautiful video again! When I saw your cooked food I got water in my mouth. Thank you!!

[paraproject]

His new car is cool. But sometimes I miss old one😭

I know you've been doing this for a long time, but I'm really impressed at how professional your videos are: the content, the recordings, the drone shots, the editing, the music, etc...

[rondellwashington]

I am inspired by the way you chase your dreams! It took me over 30 years to earn my bachelor's degree, but now that I am done, I am working my dream job as a registered nurse in the ER, Killing Covid~19! in reference to healthcare, I am also inspired by your healthy meals. My favorite is the rib eye and broccolini. I started eating like you and lost almost 20lbs! Thanks for everything Chad! I am praying for your safety as you conquer the quest to be your best.

[DaBlueMonster]

Chad is the Richest man on earth, and I’m not talking about money. Like the man said; Follow your Heart. Cheers man. Cheers. 💯👍🏻👍🏻

[vasileiosprappas]

I’ve seen many of your videos man and in fact I’ve been following you for a long time and I’m glad that you’re having a free and wonderful life....I just come home from work and instead of watching a movie I watch your videos and relax thanks man for keeping me a great company

[mcain]

I’d also add to what you said that it helps to have the right people around you. I spent 41 years trying to figure it all out. Then I found the right people and I never expected that I would be asked to help plant a church and run the audio, but here I am.

Honestly, I'm one of the first subscribers to the channel and am loving the videos. From the story telling to the photography to the tips about camping and van living Chad is great. However, one can't ignore the trend of growing commercial content in every video. Used to be just the right amount but it grew to the point I couldn't even go through the whole video. Should restore balance and it will continue being an awesome channel
