Solo Winter Camping - Living The Van Life

The snow is beginning to pile up deep up in the mountains. Let's get out the dutch ovens and do some camp cooking as the snow falls down in a good ol' winter storm up in the North Cascade Mountain Range.

Who else love these winter camping vids

I don’t want you to take this the wrong way but I think the first 2/3’s of the video of you just working in silence was absolutely perfect. No commentary needed. Just a man in a harsh environment taking to work. It was so peaceful but the introspective moments spoke for themselves. I enjoyed that very much. Amazing content buddy!

*** DRONE SHOTS **** Hopefully this will help clear up some confusion. :-) I DO NOT HAVE A TEAM OF CAMERA PEOPLE FILMING ME. Here is a BRIEF explanation of how these drone shots are achieved. YES... every single one of these shots is all shot by myself, and only myself.... My DJI Mavic Air is actually GPS guided as most all drones are these days. I drive to a safe spot that I would like to capture. I launch the drone and fly it into position. Because it is GPS guided, the drone holds its elevation and position without me touching the controller. I set the controller down on the passenger seat. Then I drive the van through the scene. Once I have captured the shot I wanted, I fly drone to my new position in a safe parking spot and land the drone. Notice that any drone shot that has the van driving in the shot has very little to no movement? That is because the drone is set and I drive past it while it holds its own position. If you see a shot where it is tracking the van in a shot, the drone has been set to "active track" where it is set to follow a moving subject. I can also set the drone to follow a specific flight path. It is all very simple folks. No need to fret... It is all filmed by myself and I DO NOT have a team of camera people following me. I just needed to clear that up for everyone. Thanks for watching!!!

Chad you are inspiring me so much to do this, not full time living in a van but winter camping this look just amazing.

[anewthreatgm]

I never comment, but the quality of these are amazing, Almost like a movie, keep them coming!

[danieltayhh]

One man, solo, silent, doing his thing. I get it. Silence is golden.

[Abes]

The quality of your channel speaks volumes, especially when you can tell a story without words. You are skilled my man.

[sunilk.]

When apocalypse/WorldWar/Zombie outbreak happen, I want to have this man on my team.

[AcceptablePerson]

By the looks of the comments it looks like I'm not the only one who enjoys this in a very cathartic relaxing way.

[joetsang]

Clean and simple, solitude and silence. No background music and unnecessary narration. I like it so much.

[GMACF]

Just a word of advice for anyone about to watch this video. Don’t watch it when you go to bed. I’m now starving bloody hungry and can’t get to sleep 🤤😩😂

[jiafengwang]

My favorite sound is the crackle of wood burning on a snowy day

[hoho]

In such a heavy storm, the van feels like a peaceful moving castle.

[iama]

No music! Fantastic! Just the sounds of nature, of human movements, breath, etc. Beautiful, peaceful, and learning experience.

[frederickwittenberg]

Chad, nice to see you and the van back in action again! I can't even imagine how long it took you to edit this footage but please know it appreciated and really makes my day when you post. I almost got cold sitting here at home watching the video because I was so deep in it. Love the new fridge by the way. Glad to see you got one!

[sambut]

Who else is watching to see his amazing culinary skills?

[rfbush]

I'm sitting here watching this video and I swear I can smell that bread cooking!
