    No apology necessary,,, The heater is all part of the experience ...... And what a GREAT LOCATION,,, Snow, Wind, and the whole Van so well equipped ..... I wish I was 40 yrs younger to do it all over again,,, enjoy every second to the MAX .... I had a van in the 70's, 80's, 90's and I really miss it,,, so many things I think of now I should have done then,, so whatever crazy adventure idea you have, DO IT,, you'll be glad you did !!!!!

    Hey Chad , I have been watching all your videos and I love that you take us along on your adventures. I’m home so much now since my diagnosis of stage four cancer. I love that you’re always explaining things and talk about where you are. Lot of people only let you watch. I don’t hang around long if that’s the case. Some of the places you go to will never be anywhere I will ever get to. With that being said, I thank you kindly for letting us ride along with you. 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼 I always wanted to retire and get a van and travel around our beautiful country. I always look forward to find a new video that you’ve posted. Keep up the great work that you do. Without someone like you I would never have the opportunity to see so much. Always stay safe and healthy. I’m glad you’re such a positive person ❤

    Chad, I've been a sub for many years. We have talked a few times at Expo, and I told you this in person, but I'll write it down here too. The thing that hooked me early on about your videos is your attention to the soundscape.. You have such artistry in your use of ambient sound, music, and silence. Combined with your videography, your channel is a joy to follow.. If I were a blind man, I would still watch your videos. Your comment about the heater sound, prompted my comment. I just had to chuckle.....David

    A lot of years ago now I drove a sprinter van, it was done out to accommodate our four children and two dogs. I loved it, my husband worked on the oil rigs so a lot of the time it was just me taking the kids all over.,the only thing I found was in the bad weather it didn’t hold as well on the roads as I would have liked.. yours is brilliant. I miss those years, however we have 8 grandkids now and we bought a holiday home instead, my health isn’t what it used to be but I still help out as much as I can.

I really would like to live a van life myself, but I'm recovering from cardiac arrest. I have an internal Defibrillator that has to be monitored constantly. Just watching you in the van surrounded by a blizzard is remarkable. One question, have you ever been in a situation where some crazy person in the woods was stalking you? That's the one thing that worries me if I was on the road.

    I am wondering how you kept your camera from blowing away during the blizzard?
    There has got to be a good way to protect the exhaust pipe from wind driven snow. Maybe a sheet metal box of some kind?
    Last I noticed that 12:59 you use the blade of your knife to scrape your cutting board. It is better to turn the knife over and use the spine for that task and save the sharp edge for cutting and chopping.

    That is a nice knife, it is like a cross between a heavy chef knife and a lightweight cleaver. What company made the knife.
    If you have never been to the Olympic Peninsula it is amazing, plenty to film outside of ONP. Olympic National Forest is spectacular, check out Murhut Falls, Rocky Brook Falls, Mt Walker auto road if it is open in winter, Kloshe Nanitch Lookout, Rialto Beach, Shi Shi, Hurricane Ridge in ONP. If you want to capture the US Navy's F-18 Growler pilots training for carrier landings take the ferry to Whidbey Island and go to OLF Coupeville, it is a small airport south of the NAS Whidbey Island where pilots practice, there is no fence to get in the way of video or photography, the Navy post their training times online for OLF Coupeville for the residents in the area, from the airfield you can clearly see Mt Baker to the Northeast and on a clear day you can see Mt Rainier directly off the southern end of the runway 100 miles away.
