Canyonlands Backcountry Camping and Cooking - Living The Van Life

Join along on this rugged backcountry adventure into the Canyonlands region of Utah near Moab. This place is known for its rugged and remote wilderness desert. In this episode I take the van way off-road into the backcountry for an awesome camp and cook. Most people take their 4x4 vehicles out here. But I do it in my 2 wheel drive Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia

Your Dad is no doubt so proud of you man. You're changing other people's lives too which is something truly amazing.

Chad- I remember when you were trying to get home to see "someone with Covid." You told people to believe that it was real. I wondered who it was you were talking about and how they were. I'm crying so hard. I've know many people who have lost loved ones and your words finally sent me to a place where I could cry for all of them. I'm sorry, my friend. Your father is proud. I know it. I'm sorry you lost him. Peace to you and you family. <3

So sorry for the loss of you father, , I lost mine 7 years ago and things have never been the same.... now my mother is on hospice with days to live and watching your video brought a little joy to my morning thinking about my dad. One day would love to camp with ya and share stories of our fathers. I just started a channel myself called whatthehellamithinking. Take care from Oregon

[iliadee]

Cheers to your dad he raise a decent honorable son . May his memory be forever. All I can say is thank you for taking us along on your journey.

[blackhawk]

This is one of your best videos dude. Literally feel what it all means to you. I think your dad would be so proud. His impact can clearly be seen. Awesome dude!

[tonynewman]

You gotta love chad - he keeps it real and to the bone - Vw should give him a new 4 wheel drive van - infact VW should call it’s new camper van the Chad - VW CHAD - it can be air lifted around the world and put chad into the mass public eye - in different countries he deserves it- he’s totally left the other van streamers in his wake - and he can cook cook 👩‍🍳- he’s pushed the envelope as far as what utube can offer him - I hope someone picks up on this comment and give chad all the backing that’s possible!

[Thomas-lkcu]

Rarely does a YouTube tear you up, but this one did the trick.
So sorry for your loss my man.
For most of us COVID meant loss of money or things, but hearing from someone who lost a loved one definitely puts things into perspective.
I’m already out there taking chances, thanks to the movement you’ve created with your channel, and I can’t wait for my next adventure really soon.
Nature truly is beautiful when you’re actually just “being” with it.

[Ivluve]

Your Dad was a wise man and is still around you in spirit and I'm sure he is super proud of you. I'm proud of you and I don't even know you.

[kenuber]

Chad.... Here's to ALL the dads out there, who made a difference in a kids life. I was 13 when I made my first trip to Moab with my dad, I'm now 64. I still think of him everyday. Love and miss ya Dad. Oh, Moab then was nothing like it is now! Peace out!

[levitshetlo]
