Van Life In The Arctic - PART TWO - 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 2 of a 3 part series as I drive my 2020 Mercedes 4x4 Sprinter Van to the Arctic Ocean.

I'm an older lady, disabled so living vicariously thru you. I love you videos and drive to go to places rarely visited. I am worried about your safety on this trip. do you have a sat phone in case of emergencies? please be careful and warm. Hugs from this old grandma.
Thanks, but i'm mobility challanged.. can only walk maybe 10ft then knees give out and have to sit in a chair with feet elevated for about 20-30min before going again. Awating knee surgery but not looking promising in the near future. 😕
@@crazycritterlady8788 may God bless you with good health lady
@@crazycritterlady8788 love you granny 👵❤️
Such a nice response I hope you prosper such a nice person.
I'm an older lady also and I would give anything to live out the rest of my day's doing what this man is doing! It's just not the same watching it on RUclips but I guess it's better than nothing!
The beauty of having the drone, it’s like you have the helicopter with tou filming, Chad your shots and editing is awesome
Professional. No doubt
Excelente viaje. Bravo Chad.
But I wonder that the drone works in that conditions. Shouldn’t the battery drained in no time when it’s that cold?
Adds such a new dimension and depth to the videos, doesn't it. Yep, I've been super stoked on the drones ever since they came out. And I've used several drones, but this little guy is just a work horse. And for those that aren't aware, check out my Behind the Scenes episode - ruclips.net/video/prCRrB8f46o/видео.html. Thanks for watching and thanks for the kudos!
If the batteries were stored outside, in the cold, yes they would be effected. But being charged and stored inside the heated van, I never had any issues with them
Chad, your travels and documentation are on level with epic series like “Long Way Around”. Except they had a support and film crew. Your solo adventures are inspiring and amazing! Thank you for letting us be part of it.
That is a TREMENDOUS compliment. Long Way Around has been a huge inspiration to me. Thanks for the kind words
Long Way Around had a team of support vehicles from BBC and that was directed with too much drama etc. Chad does it all by himself and his filming and editing is better imo.
What did you have to do to prepare yourself for this Arctic Circle trip? How did you prepare your equipment and yourself physically and mentally and spiritually. I love video you have made.
@@lukem9707 you nailed that bro
👍❤️
These shots with the drone while the Sprinter is driving...absolutely epic. The production quality is out of this world at this point.
AND epic drone shots of the mountains around 18:00. Thanks for sharing those with us. In case I don't go see them myself, you showed me all I will ever see of them.
Music could definitely use some work
Absolutely agree ... great job chad
I didn’t even think about that, someone had to fly a drone. Amazing. Thanks!
How do you do the drone tracking shots of your vehicle . Do you stop , send it up, then fix on the van in “track me “ mode, and drive awhile , then stop and bring it in? What drone do you use? Man I enjoy your content. Just as much a van lifer as a filmmaker .
Been watching this channel for a very long time now. As a guy who works in video Postproduction for more than 15 years, the growth in quality, content and narration is uncanny. This is pro quality content Chad. Congratulations!
Every time I watch one of his amazing videos I’m reminded why I don’t miss having a tv. It’s like watching the best produced tv show I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing Chad, I’m a big fan ♥️👍
Thank you, Rosie! Glad to have you onboard-
Yep. Agreed
Yes, this is like, " Living the filmmaker", where the cameraman, Chad, and the adventure are one and all as if the viewer is living it. Amazing!
Right?
I agree!
I just hope everyone understands how much effort was put into making these videos. This is next level dedication and amount of road covered.
Thank you Chad for sharing your adventures with us. It's amazing and better than anything on TV.
Glad you like them!
I agree!
@@barbraallbritton4222 100%
My wife and I had the privilege of living in Northern Alberta, Canada for a few years. This adventure of yours brought back great memories. I was awed by the beauty of the landscape. It all seems very sacred to me when I open my eyes to the beautiful complex world that was created for us all to live in.
Stunning cinematography, editing and storytelling; not to mention the steel cojones needed to take on the challenge of such a journey alone. Huge kudos to you.
Critically important: In temperature like that, start your engine every couple of hours, don't let it seat frozen all day or night, or have engine antifreeze heater system active. Second, do you know what engine oil you use? It's gotta be specific oil for arctic temps to avoid engine damage. Pay special attention to tires, rubber can become brittle, so make sure to keep proper pressure to avoid excessive flexing which may cause some cracking in rubber.
Also run lower air pressures in the snow, you'll get better grip.
The quality of your Arctic productions is incredible. Probably the highest quality I've seen from any RUclipsr. Well done and kudos to you.
! I would like to add, the highest quality from any media! Netflix, Virgin, National geographic etc! I haven't watched anything like this on any other platform for MANY years!
Chad has certainly put himself up there with the best pioneers of exploration and adventure documentaries!
@@rogerblackwood8815 All my respect to Chad for his good quality filming with his one man undertaking of such a tour, but a second pair of hands wold of been a grate help with the filming in such a cold and hostile pace, and it wold of given viewers a more longer and detailed footage of this epic tour.
To call this trip "epic" does not do this adventure justice. Absolutely an incredible accomplishment to not only complete the trip, but to document it as you have and take us along for the wild ride. Would love to know the your thoughts on the things you did to prepare, got right, got wrong and the behind the scenes challenges. Something as simple as drone flight had to have been a struggle operating in that temperature range. Incredible series and looking forward to seeing the rest if it.
Your camera work is excellent and the fact that you have to turn around and pick up your cameras for some of the shots that you do must make the trip twice as long. Also your drone work is fantastic I’m surprised they work in below zero temperatures. You definitely have a lot of balls doing this by yourself .mad props!!
Finally got an opportunity to just sit down, relax, and enjoy this episode. Again blown away by how beautiful everything is and finding myself in aww on how beautiful our planet is. Thanks for taking us on your journey Chad, you’re the best!!!
Hear me, you brave man! Coming from cold Norway myself, sitting in a warm living room waiting for warmer times. You have my deepest respect for what you achieve. And as usual, incredibly beautiful shots of nature made me (almost) welcome the winter back.
This is so insanely cool! Have been watching your clips for a long time and this is by far the most exciting one that I am eager to watch the next one! Stay safe out there! :)
Glad to have you along, Nunghan Ryu! Thanks for watching-
"Living the van Life" more like "living the dream" . the way it filmed and edited with those drone shots is absolutely amazing.
LTVL was the first RUclips series I ever watched. The quality of videos and the patience practiced to place the camera and then go back to recover them is remarkable. Chad+ you are a true inspiration to those of us with a pioneer’s heart. Thanks for this effort. It is truly an adventure and a testimony to your preparation of you equipment. You literally put your life on the line to traverse this region.
Your productions are better than 90% of what is on TV. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
THIS DRONE FOOTAGE IS SO INSANE. Totally making the eyeballs water. Stunning work!
This man rose to the top, he went the extra mile to give us the most epic Vanlife adventure yet. He set the bar waaayyy high! Great job 💥
He literally went the extra mile.
I totally agree!!!
Your editing skills make for such a good video. Love the intros.
Thanks, Michele!
Brilliant adventure. It just shows how much we depend on each other and how dangerous Mother Nature really is and how humans have used natural resources to make survival much easier.
When it comes to “Droning and Driving” you’re the king!
Big salute to those motorcyclists. Praying for them to have all the success they wish for. Love from India to those Heroes 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🤣😂🤣 You always find somebody doing the same ''route'' as you but under much harder circumstances, it is good for self confidence, Keep on Trucking! 🛵🛵 ☠☠⛄
Unbelievable footage Chad. Just amazed as how much work and time this takes to put together. Can’t wait for part 3.
You are not only an adventurer but also an excellent journalist and film maker. I wouldn't mind seeing this in DVD format. This is so very original and so daring on your part. Total respect from Georgia!
This video series deserves an academy award. Unbelievable, I envy what you've seen as many of us will never realize the God provided beauty that you were able to experience. Well done.
We Canadian’s have named this winter driving game of ours. It’s called, “Where’s the Road?”😂 It’s so neat to see the west coast and the territories when you live down the east. Thanks for sharing your travels.
Fantastic. Very few would even consider making this trip in the winter. Great scenery and show. Your grade on this one, A+
This is the 2nd best video of ltvl when it comes to drone shots 👌 the 1st best video is always with westfalia that was a monster for snow storms will never forget those moments chad ,i hope you have a great day and stay safe and healthy.

No enough words to describe the scenery or the journey … can’t wait for part 3. I salute you 👏🏼
Great Adventure man!
I did 10 days in arctic Sapmí (Lappland) Sweden. I had down to -31C! Camped in my Subaru Forester. It was in february 2021.🇸🇪👍
Such winter expeditions is very rewarding and demands the best of you. Travel in good health and greetings from Sweden!
That's awesome, Michael! You're absolutely correct, it was an amazing trip and how cool that you can personally relate to the mind-frame that one must be in to take on such a trip. And in your car, no doubt! Thanks for watching!
What an amazing journey. I feel like I was riding with you. I'm 70 yrs old and I'm so enjoying this adventure. Consider me a grandma who prays for your safe travels.
I am gonna enjoy this! And welcome Chad. So glad you could explore our far north😀 And can we just acknowledge the editing and the DRONE SHOTS. Really top notch and second to nothing !
This video series is the definition of epic!! Incredible shots, music, and editing. Wow!!
You are a super hero, because you are constant and nothing scare you, Congratulations and be what you are. Jesse
This has got to be one of the most visually pleasing channels on this app
Awesome content Chad! Have to admit I've missed the Westfalia, but episodes like this make up for it. This is award winning stuff, keep it up!
I love the risks involved with this adventure. The times when I really found myself was during times of immense doubt desperately trying to bottle up the dread boiling over.
The most fascinating adventure ...a master piece of solo travels, awesome views, and great music..looks like another planet. Congrats Chad, your an adventurer and artist!!
The best Highlight of the vlog is “those epic breathtaking drone shots”.
I understand how overwhelming all of it must be to fly that drone, record and drive and then retrieve the drone back for a 2 second filler shot all in freezing temperatures 🥶.
Keep up the entertaining work✅👌🏻 lots of support and love your for your work✅🇮🇳
The drone is a kick, always adds that extra touch to the videos. Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
My wife and I love the drone shots!
During the film, I followed your journey on a map. This is absolutely amazing! Fantastic views, amazing place! Chad thanks for this video and stay safe! Best regards from Poland!
Chad, you are straight up crazy and I’m here for it. This is amazing. Thank you for the beauty.
Just AWESOME footage!!! Can’t believe the beautiful weather you’re getting. Stay safe 🤙🏼
Please post Episode 3. Waiting eagerly.
Love your Content!
Chad,
Of all the "Van Life You tubers" you exceed them by far. My wife and I have an E-350 Econoline that we camp in and you have certainly influenced our Van life for the better. Please know that you are a very positive influence in our lives and an inspiration of what can be accomplished in a van. We love the content and the drone footage is quite amazing. Thank you for all of the hard work that you put into each video, we are NEVER disappointed in your travels. Travel safe, my friend.
Paul & Kim
Superb film making, not to be underestimated, especially in these conditions ! Thanks Chad for such great content.
The drone footage is stunning (as usual). I guess we now know that extreme cold does not prevent drones from flying and capturing footage. Looking forward to Part 3.
This is just about the best thing I have ever seen.
Better than any tv show today. I lose myself in this show. Priceless.
Cinematography is PRO level! 💖 What an amazing series. You are in your element Chad! Thank you for taking us where most will not be able to go in this lifetime! Don’t forget to eat on time and always be safe🚐
it has to be because van life is garbage :D
Mad respect to you Chad! A true adventurer you are. Be safe out there!
Awesome overhead footage, as I would have to say National Geographic worthy. Hope you enjoyed the trip. I've had enough winter adventures for a lifetime having been stationed in Iceland. Again, outstanding!
I’ve been watching these videos when I get home from work at 10 at night. Definitely helps me to relax and wind down.. and these people are very resourceful and informative.
I appreciate you highlighting the local towns and people who live there. Love seeing that.
Can't wait! morning all! Great content as always Chad!
Morning! Glad you liked it!
thank you for taking us on this journey, it is just incredible!
Yes! Part two is here to watch! Been praying you’re making it safely along the road. Thank you Chad for taking us along this stunning journey!
I don't remember how I stumbled upon your channel several months ago, but I'm so glad I did. I simply love you and your adventures. Thank you so much for sharing.
Cant believe you get these shots by yourself. Best channel on youtube.
Episode 1 in this series was the first time I discovered this channel. So glad you somehow popped up in my feed. The views, the drone work you do is spectacular.
Incredible, completely lost for words. Living the Van Life as a channel name somehow seems a little low-key for what you have achieved, you're simply a worldwide inspiration. Fantastic, a hell of journey and one hell of a storyteller, thank you!
The editing is on point! well done! very much enjoying these 2 episodes you've put up! Great work, keep it up, wishing you well!!
Excellent video production including the music selection. I felt like i am with you all the way. Thank you for sharing.
I been watching these same 3 episodes over and over. something about van life and crazy artic unknown isolated dangers, keeps bringing back to this journey.
Those temps are straight up terrifying for me 😂 absolutely epic adventure so far, can’t wait for the next episode
Man, you have taken the Van Life to levels seldom if ever seen, let alone documented for the rest of us ! I envy you brother but in the best of ways ! Looking forward to part 3 and praying for you all the way 🙏🥃
Incredible scenery and journey. Certainly that van has done you proud and forgot to mention the drone shots are superbly done. Keep up the good work 👍
As a truck driver I know these kinds of roads and driving for hours with no one around can feel eerie and lonely but all good when you get to your destination. Your van is a cool build handling the cold like a champ.
perfect in every way, video, music, drone/helicopter, editing...very professional! thank you.
This is some of your best content yet! Thanks for putting in the extra time and effort in the extreme cold, which I'm sure is not easy!
Love the show. What a great experience. I’d love to do what your doing. All the best.
Chad, I have much respect for your accomplishments and success on this journey. The beauty of the land and the unforgiving harshness of the climate really make you feel alive! I lived in the Northwest Territories for 10 years. There are many stories of people who were not as prepared us you who have gone in the ditch, broke down, or got lost and have perished. You were prepared and got to live it to the fullest. Thanks for sharing. Part 2 is really showing the intensity of the experience. Greetings from 🇨🇦.
Hey Chad, as a Canadian who’s worked in the far North for years. Here are a few tips.
1. When it gets really cold. I don’t shut my diesel truck off.
2. Layers are your friend. At -40 in a parka you can barely move.
3. Winter front on your van. Keeps the really cold air out so your truck heats up better.
4. This tip saved a guy I work with life. He hit the ditch in a white out blizzard and ran the truck till he was out of fuel. Then he took his spare tire, punched a hole in his gas tank. To use the little bit of fuel that was left to cover the spare. He lit the tire on fire and huddled by it until we found him in the morning.
4. Personally I use 4 wheel drive a lot and I leave it in. Because some times when it’s really cold it would not engage when you really need it. Better to be in 4 wheel drive then to need 4 wheel drive and not be able to get it to engage.
5. If you can help it, never let your fuel get below 1/2 a tank and always use diesel fuel conditioner.
6. Get yourself a good tow rope. It’s not a matter of if you go in the ditch as a matter of when. So when a someone comes along they can pull you out.
(Side note I’ve been blown off those roads because your still just on ice)
Just found your channel and am enjoying it. Keep it up.
Hey, Dale, glad to have you onboard. Thanks for joining the channel. Great tips, man, thanks so much for the input!
In a time where many are struggling to find their purpose, you have clearly found yours. Well done brother! Looking forward to living bi-curiously through your videos.
That was awesome! It would be cool to know after this series how the van did overall and what you would change for such a trip in the future
This is a work of art Chad! You are a master and a brave man to take this journey! Congratulations man can't wait for the next one!
You are really bringing everyone in on this experience..great production, incredible drone shots..wow! I look forward to the next video . Well done and stay safe
Excellent video Chad. Love every bit of it!!
I’m appreciative and grateful of being allowed to share this journey with you brother. You may want to try for your tuna fish salad recipe these ingredients:
Mayonnaise, sweet relish, honey, diced celery, diced parsley, ground black pepper, ground sea salt, garlic powder, diced red bell peppers, diced onions, and whipped cream cheese.
Stunning! Amazing quality and just outstanding production value, thank you Chad for taking us with you on this epic journey.
Wonderful cinematic work, as always! I also loved the music you chose. And of course I appreciate your courage and know how in venturing out in the wild. Great stuff!
Yes the drone shots are wonderful. They give us a spectacular view of that part of the world. And actually informative you know. Kudos mate, quite brave of you. Looking forward to next episode!!
am watching this from the comfort of my house but i swear i felt the cold.i enjoyed the whole video.keep them coming.
There are no words to describe the level this series is on.
Wow! New fan here. I really enjoy watching your adventures. How do you get those insane drone shots of you driving down the road? So incredible!
Chad, Fan here from Toronto, Canada. Been watching you over the years from the old van to the new sprinter van. I must say the quality of your filming, the editing, the music we can only imagine how long all of this takes. Youre hands down one of the most creative, gutsy and down right badass van life youtuber Ive ever seen. Those areas are no joke to begin with and youre on a fun adventure to explore. Hats off to you sir 🎩 Stay Safe!
I agree 100%! Best channel and creator on you tube
Amazing adventure, sceneries and music, great job … Can't wait to see the rest
“All hands on deck (mentally)”
Beautiful scene setting, thanks for sharing this adventure
Wow! Chad, this is an EPIC video! Here lately you have made some epic videos. When you fly your drone through the mountains, to me you can feel the present of the Lord through your RUclips channel. Especially, seeing the beauty of God's creation (mountains, hill, snow, trees, etc.). Thank you for these epic videos. You be careful no matter where you go in life (traveling).🙏🏾🚐🤗🏔️📷👏🏾
Thank you, Sharon. Yes, it is a very spiritual experience being so remote and yet so encompassed in nature. Glad that experience is shining through. Thanks for watching-
@@LivingTheVanLife Thank you, Chad! These are awesome videos, that looks like you are watching a movie, and your the narrator telling us about your experience. Beautiful!!! 🙏🏾❤️👏🏾🚐🏔️📷🤗
Gotta love the adventurous spirit of those bikers!!! I absolutely love the way you live your life. Your footage brought me to tears.
Chad, I love this series!! So interesting!
Thanks, Andrew. It truly was an amazing trip-
Yes - part 1 was Brilliant.. been looking forward to this !!
Thanks for watching, Neil!
Simply incredible….scenery, editing, and that drone footage, this is some of your best work Chad. Is their a temperature at which you would not shut the sprinter van off, I know a few truckers who won’t shut their semis off for days or even weeks at -30 to -40f
I just got to where I would set an alarm during the night every 3-4 hours and remote start the van from bed and idle it for 30-45 minutes to maintain some heat in it.
Dude those were some spectacular drone shots. Bravo!
Next level production and editing. Thoroughly enjoyed your journey sir. Thanks for the lift!
Hey Chad....Great series. Wife and I are planning that trip leaving Minnesota in mid June. You've had some great weather. I've seen some others not quite so lucky. Hope it held. One question, what's the story with the dog sitting by your front tire at the beginning of the video. We figured you were gaining a travel buddy?
