OK...speaking on behalf of everyone who's a "mommy" or "daddy" here...CHILD...you are NOT dressing for the weather!! Where are your gloves??? No wonder your hands are freezing...silly. I'm glad you and your friend both got unstuck...he seemed to have way more difficulty than you did. And what happened to your 4WD? Scary to think, because when those systems break, they are expensive to fix. Have you thought about sliding locks for your cabinets? Probably better than having to clean up everything that falls out whenever you go over a series of bumps! And you're a brave soul...my fear of heights wouldn't let me enjoy those spectacular mountainside views! Great video, as always! 💖💖💖💖💖
He wants to be cute and sexy and so he subjects himself to the cold and little clothing, it’s a marketing thing, he knows what he’s doing lol -- some people literally rather freeze to death than lose attention and attraction, I mean he is in his 20’s so I guess it’s normal
😊Ethan, I made a post a while back on your transmission issue vids and told you then I was the owner of the top Ford Power Stroke shop in SW Missouri for 18 years. I was known as Mr. Power Stroke and Diesel Darrell and 7.3L Power Strokes was my specialty, but we did work on all diesels. That being said, when you turn your key on, I am sure you know you have a glow plug light on your cluster you are supposed to wait to go out before attempting to start, especially in cooler weather. Letting that light go out in warmer weather is not that detrimental, but in that cold weather it is a must and I suggest leaving the key in the on position for another 15-20 seconds after the light goes out, before you attempt to start the engine. Most people do not know this, but that light has nothing to do with actual cycling of the glow plugs and they are still activated even after the light is out and they continue to cycle up to 2 minutes, even after the engine has started. By leaving the key in the on position for an additional 15-20 seconds after the glow plug light goes off before trying to start, it will heat the cylinders even more and give you an easier start up with less injection clatter and smoking. Also, are you running any kind of fuel treatment in that colder weather? Hotshot's Secret has some decent fuel additive for the winter, and they also have an oil additive I would suggest running to help keep those HEUI injectors clean and free of oil coking. The oil additive cleans and prevents oil stiction of the poppet valves and will also help with cold starts. And just to be clear, Hotshots Secret is just one of many oil and fuel additives out there, and everyone has their own opinions on which is best. Archoil, Rev-X, Stanadyne, Stiction RX, Opti Lube and Howes are some of the other brands that have products for either fuel or oil or both. Hotshots Secret is one of the ones I know worked excellent not only for myself but a lot of my Customers with 500,000+ miles on their engines. Also, I prefer running only Motorcraft oil and Motorcraft filters in my 7.3L Power Strokes. Again, if you have any questions at all or need any help, please feel free to message me and I will be happy to help you anyways I can. I love watching and following along with your adventures and hopefully I may get to meet you on the road some day, after I get my camper van finished up and start traveling myself. Stay safe out there and take care...
Hi Ethan hope you don’t mind me suggesting a couple of pointers that may help you. When you’re starting your engine when cold wait while the glow plug heater symbol on your dash goes out before cranking the engine over. Also your leisure batteries shouldn’t drop less than 50% if gel or acid type. If lithium never less than 20% using them too low will spoil them. The glow plug heater symbol is just above your low fuel symbol.
This world is fake, daily deceiving, it is not worthy to go and gain it. wiser it is to seek CHRIST (BIBLE STUDY FOR ALL , a playlist of mine)and get saved.
When you're in the mountains, often there are no guardrails. This is so the snow lows can push all the snow over the edge. The little poles are so they know where the edge of the road is when it's covered in snow. :) Safe travels
As someone already has mentioned, make sure the glow plug light goes off before trying to start truck. Diesels do not like cold weather. You should think about getting a small generator as a emergency backup power source. On cold night you could plug the diesel engine into it and be able to charge your batteries. As always, love your videos. Please stay safe.
Hey bud, 2 things. you gotta let the coils warm on a diesel before you can start it. Second, in the winter it's sleet, in the summer it's hail. Two completely different forms of ice. :)
Cold starting a diesel without waiting for the glow plug light to go out will always make them rattle and bark at you. They also need to be warmed up good before you move them. They can idle for hours no problem.🇨🇦
I’m so happy you’re camping with a friend in those arctic conditions, much safer that way. Might be a good idea to buy some snow socks for your rear tyres: they’re simple to fit and should prevent you tumbling down a cliff when it’s icy 😮. Fantastic video Ethan, you made me shiver seeing you so cold 🥶❤️🥰
Outstanding video as usual, Ethan. As others have mentioned, please dress for the weather (gloves, heavy socks), etc. I’m amazed at how well you handle stressful situations. Your calm demeanor is highly admirable. As a fellow full-time RVer, I actually learn a lot from your videos. Keep them coming. I love seeing you and look forward to your adventures. ❤
Someone whom I've known since childhood lives in Prescott, AZ. I'm glad you've found yourself a new friend (the van guy). Try to stay warm for the rest of Winter. I've decided I really don't like cold weather. Not a fan of hot weather either.
We got about 6 inches of snow in central Kentucky the other day. It is so beautiful, but so cold. It's only 8 degrees right now. Stay safe and warm out there Ethan ❄️♥️
Yup.......Hi Ethan...check the engine cold start procedure...ignition on and wait until the glow plug light goes out before spinning the engine on its starter.......happy travels
Ethan, there is a lot of good advice on here. Take it, damn it, take it lol. As for me, well, I'm here in New Hampshire watching you and glad that you are still posting. Thanks.
Here’s some advice from South Dakota. Keep those mats that you use for your front door, in your truck. Use them under your tire when you’re stuck. Best advice to give you! Your awesome!
Yeah snowing and freezing temps kinda a drag when camping however part of the adventure. I can't give you anymore advice except what others have pointed out about your glow plug, on your dash that is. Important good advice by others. Also I know it's your channel glad you have someone with you and a friend for peaches to run with, who is he? I noticed you're very careful about showing his face or naming him by name. He is a great guy pulling you out and for sticking with you in your Hazzard travels, willing to do this as I would not. Glad you're not alone. I pull a 5th wheel with my husband and could never boondock in the outdoors like this. The 5th wheel wouldn't hold up to the abuse and it's just too big. Enjoy your show keep up the videos and enjoy them .
It seems like just the blink of an eye ago I was 20. Now I’m almost 60. I love my life and my family. But if I had it to so all over again, I’d live my life a little closer to the kind of adventures you are having. I wish you all the best, and I’m cheering you on. Live your life YOUR own way. Never forget that you’re an amazing person.
Why don’t you and your friend just join forces and share one camper? That way you can keep each other warm, use 1/2 of the propane, etc. anyway, please keep wearing those gray pants…..they look amazing on you! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Cold weather tip: having a space blanket under you when sleeping. Usually I do something like space blanket -> fleece blanket -> sheet -> me -> fleece blanket -> duvet. And wool socks + a beanie. Space blankets do rip pretty easily, so finding something like a reflective car window screen or a picnic blanket with a reflective/insulated back works okay too. Obviously the absolute best option is an insulated sleeping pad, but nobody's got money for that in this economy.
You do so well in high stressful situations. Your eagerness to get out of uncomfortable situations is outstanding. Love your content, enjoy watching your work. ❤
dude, you have WAAAAY more guts than anyone I know!! Impressive how you stick to something and just go with it! I'm pretty sure I'd have said "the HELL with this" a long damn time ago!
Ethan I know what you're going through I'm a long haul trucker, driving Washington Oregon Wyoming, Utah Idaho, And California is home. Love every video you make You always make me laugh You're fantastic Thank you for your content
Can’t say I’m a regular viewer, but I like your posts - entertaining. When I was in HS we were required to take Latin or Greek for two years and then two years of a Romance language; my Latin teacher was a Jesuit priest - rumour was he killed an opponent while boxing - and that led him to become a priest. Anyway, he was acerbic and we had a student that always had so much melodrama (excuses really) so this priest started to refer to his tales as the ‘Perils of Pauline’. Your story reminds me of that. Perils of Pauline was a serialised silent film with different situations that Pauline would find herself. Anyway, long way around the barn to say enjoy your clips. 😁👍🙏🏻
I know you are limited on space, but here is a trucker winter tip if you keep a bucket of sand, salt(winter or pool salt) and kitty litter mixture, you put a scoop behind and in front of the stuck tires. It will help you get the grip you need to get out of the stuck situation
Please don't take offense, a lot of people confuse hail and sleet. Hail is produced by severe thunderstorms, sleet is ice pellets produced from winter storms when snow passes thru a warmer layer of air and re freezes as sleet.
From South Africa tyres laddie tyres let them down ....low ! Double the length of the footprint (look what the length of the footprint is at start, then air-out until its double by eye. Doing this will have the effect of halving the weight on the van, and double the traction.... You're welcome Warren
Just subscribed a few days ago. You popped up on my home page for some ungodly reason. I love your whole gig, dude. It is interesting, amusing, educational, and mysterious. You seem like a really fun, great guy!
dude, you need to install a relay switch to your house battery to connect to your CAR battery so that you can switch that when needed and charge your house battery by your trucks alternator.
You could really use a portable winch that mounts into a trailer hitch receiver. I've seen them mounted on the front of trucks too. That way you could pull yourself out of problems from the front or back. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Hi Ethan, hey, in California, we have something for driving in snow and ice called "Snow Chains" and even with 4x4, they keep you from getting stuck! Next trip to Walmart, buy a small shovel and a set of tire/snow chains. On those back forest roads, they may be plowed, but you can still get stuck. So glad your friend is traveling with you. Don't want you getting somewhere without cell service and getting stuck again. Hello to Peaches from Cody, my JRT who is 4 yrs old.
A great video Ethan! On any diesel rig turn the key on so all the dash warning lights are on...don't try to start until the glow plug light goes off...usually 30-40ish seconds as that is what helps things warm up to fire off initially on start up. I love your content a bunch 🙂
Goodness, Peaches must be over-the-moon that she can do car adventures with her human everyday! I noticed that she was as keen as a bean sittin up front co-piloting .
Thanks for letting us know of your problems with the freezing toilet and tanks I would have never thought of that. Good to know! Diesel is a little different then gas. Glow plugs help them start. Good luck stay warm!!
I was shivering watching this. I live in FL now for 3 years and was in CT all my life prior. Don’t miss the snow, ice and cold at all! Good luck on your travels. Stay safe. Big hug and treat for Peaches! 👍❤️❤️👍
Hey Ethan, you are so adventurous, I really enjoy your videos!!! The snow is very beautiful even though it's very cold. Be sure to take care of yourself & Peaches & try to stay warm!!! 👍👍🙂
One more idea is get a wibasko bunk heater installed in your camper I uses a small amount of diesel from your tank to keep your whole living area warm and pulls very little power. Thanks for your videos. Best wishes.
I have been watching since you were in the cube van with 7k subscribers, I am surprised how far this channel has come. I actually look forward to the videos.
Ethan - you poor baby first you're friend got stuck and then you get stuck but you both okay Peach's sure love s the snow thanks for sharing this Ethan and till next time be safe and keep making memories ❣️🤠
Keep up the good work, thoroughly enjoyed your video's, only discovered your brilliant channel around 2 months ago, you and your adventures are fantastic, much love to you and peaches, and all, be safe ❤️
You are truly an adventurer. Enjoying the views while in precarious, icy conditions. Also how you voice your thoughts while doing this or that. Good show. Cheers 🥂
Should I ever decide to live in a van during winter, all I need to do beforehand is study the comment sections of your videos, particularly this one here. There's just so much valuable advice people are sharing!! Even I can't help but feel grateful although the advice is meant for you. 😊
When I was driving in snow, ice, and off-road, I got a 4WD (Subruau xt6). All four wheels would continuously operate. There was a button to lock the four axles into two. This would reduce spillage even more. Just suggesting for the next time you are buying for off-road adventures.
So glad to see you travelling with a companion in less that ideal weather conditions.
MAN TO MAN..............😍😍.
"Companion". Riiiiight.
Yah your “friend” 😉who’s been in like the last 3 uploads , it’s all good we all got needs ha ha 😅
He hasn't been single for traveling since day one he's always got somebody with him but he refuses to admit that there's always somebody with him
Well he did brag at the beginning that he'd be getting "3 to 6 inches today."
OK...speaking on behalf of everyone who's a "mommy" or "daddy" here...CHILD...you are NOT dressing for the weather!! Where are your gloves??? No wonder your hands are freezing...silly.

I agree. I agree with everything you said, totally.
I'm not but I was thinking the same thing. He doesn't look prepared to be out in the winter weather.
He wants to be cute and sexy and so he subjects himself to the cold and little clothing, it’s a marketing thing, he knows what he’s doing lol -- some people literally rather freeze to death than lose attention and attraction, I mean he is in his 20’s so I guess it’s normal
Good gay daddies always keep your twinks inside when it is cold out. 😅
@@tpl608 and properly dress them. Not all clothing is fashionable lol.

Very good advice. Did he ever get back to you? Your offer to help him is awesome
@@michaelrotter1134 Thanks, but not heard from him...
@@DJ_Travels I'm a bit surprised because he seems to be pretty good about getting back with people.
Growing up in Vermont, many people carry kitty litter to use as traction if you get stuck.

Arctic? 20 degrees is downright balmy.
No where near "arctic" conditions.
Buddy system ! ! Yes ! !
You are very brave. It’s a good thing you have peaches to keep you company. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you. 🙏

Really enjoy the videos, and am mesmerized by the idea of living/traveling in a truck camper. Keep the adventures coming.
Love watching your trials and tribulations of van life...also love that snow ❤.
Your copilot is so dog-gone cute! I admire your problem-solving skills, and your courage. Happy trails, and thanks for sharing!
when you said ist the end of video i didnt even think its the end of it.. it went super fast by.. love them!
You are wild and calm all at the same time. I love it. So.... I subscribed today!
I am so happy to see you have a friend with you! I have been worried about you being out in remote places by yourself. Take care and stay warm!
Please don't take offense, a lot of people confuse hail and sleet. Hail is produced by severe thunderstorms, sleet is ice pellets produced from winter storms when snow passes thru a warmer layer of air and re freezes as sleet.
Thanks for sharing another episode of your traveling adventure. It’s beautiful countryside for sure.
we love you Ethan! Stay warm and stay unstuck. ☺️😘💕
I'm so glad u have company
That’s a lot of snow ! Stay warm , be safe out their . Thanks Ethan
So glad to see you back in the good ol USA ... this country is glorious and you are showing it off wonderfully
From South Africa tyres laddie tyres let them down ....low ! Double the length of the footprint (look what the length of the footprint is at start, then air-out until its double by eye. Doing this will have the effect of halving the weight on the van, and double the traction....
You're welcome

Great show! Be safe. Love you. ❤
Love your adventures Ethan and Peaches and Friend. Thanks a bunches.
You seem happier traveling with a friend again, and I know it makes all of us supporters feel better that you are safer. Take care out there! ✌️
Just subscribed a few days ago. You popped up on my home page for some ungodly reason. I love your whole gig, dude. It is interesting, amusing, educational, and mysterious. You seem like a really fun, great guy!
dude, you need to install a relay switch to your house battery to connect to your CAR battery so that you can switch that when needed and charge your house battery by your trucks alternator.
Or have someone install an ACR (automatic charge relay). Don't have to think about it then.
glad to see you are enjoying yourself and was able to get out of that ditch and yes please be careful with the drive down from the mountain xoxoxo
This is my favorite Ethan video!!! I don't know why, but its just really cool! With the trucks and snow and difficulties and adventures I guess.
Thanks for your videos. I am seeing some beautiful country that I have never seen before.
You could really use a portable winch that mounts into a trailer hitch receiver. I've seen them mounted on the front of trucks too. That way you could pull yourself out of problems from the front or back. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
The images from the snow look beautiful, but I suppose the snow comes with a lot of challenges too. Be careful out there Ethan and enjoy the snow!
Thoroughly enjoyed. Cheers from Sunny South Africa
Hi Ethan, hey, in California, we have something for driving in snow and ice called "Snow Chains" and even with 4x4, they keep you from getting stuck! Next trip to Walmart, buy a small shovel and a set of tire/snow chains. On those back forest roads, they may be plowed, but you can still get stuck. So glad your friend is traveling with you.

Goodness, Peaches must be over-the-moon that she can do car adventures with her human everyday! I noticed that she was as keen as a bean sittin up front co-piloting .
Loved the video. Please be careful out there. Beautiful young man like yourself HAS to keep everything safe
You've helped me learn geography weather....I had no clue it snowed and got below freezing in Arizona ❄️🌨️❄️
Great video Ethan. The scenery is absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you for sharing your adventures..stay safe and warm ❤
Thanks for letting us know of your problems with the freezing toilet and tanks I would have never thought of that. Good to know! Diesel is a little different then gas. Glow plugs help them start. Good luck stay warm!!
The sountrack choices are just BOMB :D 💯💣💥
Beautiful scenery and views to wake up to Ethan
Great travels. Thanks for taking us along Ethan.
Thanks Ethan..do take care and keep warm dear...lovely video. Best wishes. And love xx❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
I love you Ethan. I wish I was like you and had the courage to do what you do. Kisses from Brazil. 😊
I was shivering watching this. I live in FL now for 3 years and was in CT all my life prior. Don’t miss the snow, ice and cold at all! Good luck on your travels. Stay safe. Big hug and treat for Peaches! 👍❤️❤️👍
my father was from Mass & mom from CT. THey moved to South FL to escape the cold. I was born in South FL & havent left.
Hey Ethan, you are so adventurous, I really enjoy your videos!!! The snow is very beautiful even though it's very cold. Be sure to take care of yourself & Peaches & try to stay warm!!! 👍👍🙂
Prescott is so beautiful!
One more idea is get a wibasko bunk heater installed in your camper I uses a small amount of diesel from your tank to keep your whole living area warm and pulls very little power. Thanks for your videos. Best wishes.

Once you get that four wheel drive fixed that truck will be a beast in the snow and off roading👍🏻. Another great video Ethan, keep up the great work ❤
great content. thanks for sharing
So glad you are making these trips with a friend. I worry about you doing this sh*t by yourself.
How fun! I hope you get to snuggle with your friend and the dogs to stay warm.
Another really fun episode. You never cease to entertain me. Thank you so much as always. Glenn
I had a good laugh for a second, when there wasn't a waffle in there . . .
Nice camp sites, the snow looks great.
You are truly an adventurer. Enjoying the views while in precarious, icy conditions.
Also how you voice your thoughts while doing this or that. Good show. Cheers 🥂
can't wait to see the next video. will be quiet interesting to see if you, make it down the hill. On the icy road as you said.
Great video Ethan. Thank you for sharing 😊👍
Should I ever decide to live in a van during winter, all I need to do beforehand is study the comment sections of your videos, particularly this one here. There's just so much valuable advice people are sharing!! Even I can't help but feel grateful although the advice is meant for you. 😊
When I was driving in snow, ice, and off-road, I got a 4WD (Subruau xt6). All four wheels would continuously operate. There was a button to lock the four axles into two. This would reduce spillage even more. Just suggesting for the next time you are buying for off-road adventures.
