Jason, I have been watching you for years and I don't think I have ever commented. This is one of my favs. Really great stuff here. Story, cinema, conditions, fishing in the snow?, mobile wood cabin, I smelt that bacon, epic drone shots, and that monster of a van you built! Just going from A to B! It's all about the journey for sure ....I miss the pooches too.
I did some time in the Army and it made me appreciate the outdoors. This is something I've always wanted to do but my wife would never consider it! Something about being outside at night in the middle of a snowstorm just does it for me! I'm living vicariously through you. Keep it up
@@thomasquigley7040 Really like spontaneous adventures too. Worry a bit about the cold and lack of preparation. He seems to be prepared enough though. Thanks for sharing…from an old vet, retired in the foothills of the Smokies.
This is living the van life! I think the high top and the wood stove are two of the best additions you’ve made to the van. As happy as I am with how my setup is working for me, that van is very appealing.
Been watching since you had the 7.3 Powerstroke 4x4 truck and orange trailer. I really miss the old pups. Just something about camping that goes with 4 legged companionship. I teared up when Daisy ran off to her new home. God bless buddy! You ARE living the dream.
In another life where I didn't get into a motorcycle accident leaving paralyzed from the chest down, I would have followed the same path as you. You are living a dream that I didn't know I had. I have to admit that I was a little worried that you wouldn't make it out there with all the extra snow.
Primal. Love your videos. I am so glad you pinned the Dick Proenneke video. I watched it on PBS as a kid with my dad. Sadly, he passed away 5 years ago, and tomorrow would have been his birthday, and this was a nice memory I was able to share with my wife. Thank you!
hello Jason, I actually found your channel during covid. channels like yours gave us a little reprieve from the California lockdown. i drop in every now and then to see what your up to, and you are still making wonderful content. it is definitely a break from the insanity. thank you. God bless.
I haven't viewed your videos for a while and was happy to see this one, a wonderful diversion from the baloney going on right now in this country. Great stuff.
Who moved my cheese?! Lol! I remember getting shown the video at work when our team was being down-sized. Taught me to NEVER rely on ANY job and to work toward the "fresh cheese" of self-sufficiency. Took me a few years, but the lesson was well learned and I'm not surprised it speaks to you too! Great vid Jason, I always love your content.
Jason, this as well as all of your videos, is perfect. I've been following for a long time now, and I absolutely love the sense of realism you've always displayed in your videos. Good or bad, you don't hide much from your viewers and I think that is an indicator to your continued success. Thanks for always just being you.
Everything you described about sitting in your van in the snow, is exactly the feeling I get, wind, snow, van rocking (wind! Get your mind out of the gutter folks) 😂 Nice n warm, hot food, alcohol, of course! Best feeling in the world 🙏
Having the door open with the woodstove on reminds me of my husband and I winter camping in our van and having to have the sliding door open during the night as it for so warm. Great!!!
"with the suddenness of a broken boot string..." I have loved Dick Proenneke's stuff for years! He was the original vlogger! I would love to go see his cabin at Twin Lakes. The coziness of your cabin on wheels is envious. So cool. Really enjoyed this one! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve got a 96’, 5.7, 4x4. I’ve tried a couple of different things. Currently I have slide outs in the back with everything I need…I could literally jump in and easily be out for a month or longer if I can find water and fuel. I use a cot tent. I think I’m gonna go with a bed setup in the back, maybe a smaller , thinner slide-out with some minimal necessities, and modify the current box and convert my little “truck bed” trailer into a camp kitchen-water-necessities-power station trailer. I like to hunt, and I like having some stuff with me at all times, but I’d like to be able to
Maybe do the bed deck to be a drawer for my rifles, ammo, smaller air tank for my PCPs. Have a compressor in the trailer. Been messing with the Sub pretty much since a bought it.
Dude, its "i dont need snow chains season" again. I dig it, ive been pokin ya about that for like 5 years now in good fun. Stay safe out there. Super great content!
I have never fished in knee deep snow and never seen it done, until now. Looks like a beautiful build on your van. Well done. Thank you for sharing this spontaneous adventure into some deep snow for a fishing, not catching, trip…from an old vet retired in the foothills of the Smokies.
I'm a new sub to your channel. I really enjoyed it. Love the interior cabin look and feel. Nothing like a wood stove. When I lived up in Maine I heated my home through the winter with it. I had to chuckle when you said you had the jitters from all the coffee ... a man after my heart. In fact, I have a coffee going right now :)
Yep Jason, always nice to see you busy ! You and destination adventures make me always jealous 😊 . But that's okay ... But maybe you guys have to come together one time . Just a idea . Cheers Jurgen
We got snow at 4,200 ' is ware my house is .I've been living in the cascades for 24 years and hopefully this year we will get some big storms i love the change and the action it brings.
Good stuff Jason. I really enjoyed the warmth of the van “ cabin”. Sometimes the cold just gets in the bones and you have to shack-up for a while 👍. You really redeemed yourself after that creepy stalker video you did of trying out the night vision apparatus on all of Donald’s Patreon folks! 😂😂😂
Great video. When I first started watching your channel I thought your logo showed a guy running with a surfboard. I kept watching your videos for the next few years waiting to see you hit the waves before I finally figured it out.
I’m the type of person that likes sitting around a fire and drinking coffee and watching this video seems to put me in that vibe. Thanks again
It’s a good vibe to be in. I am glad I could put you in it.
Jason

I think he should consider getting some (Pup or Pup’s again) great travel companions!
@@diegoforest I'm so excited doing that

Always loved sleeping in my astro van and waking up with deep snow covery windshield and all
Off the cuff, not planned. Exactly what I love.

That is a long time because I don’t even remember having a 7.3🤔. I do remember an old Ford truck that I still have that has a 5.4l.

I really don't know one man who don't love snow. It's like it brings out the kid in us.
@@MikeInocencio-sl7ih i know lots of people who always annoy me by complaining about snow. But I love snow!☃️

Livin' the dream for all of us, thanks for taking us with you
Nothing on the planet like wood heat. Cool set up and easy install. Thumbs up!

Just a few days in a soft white wonderland ...kicking it...
Thx Jason...you're living the dream of many of us.
Loved seeing you camping in the snow. Brings back memories of your early videos. ❤

I miss these kind of videos. Very nice.
I felt like I just discovered gold. I just found your channel and I thank you for reminding me how boring my life is Sir.

NOW, it's the time, where your setup actually makes sense. The utility you've chosen to build, comes to play, and looks the best. ;)

Your van build actually inspired my suburban build.

Alone in the wilderness is the best. I bet i watch that 3-4 times a year. Really enjoyed your vid as well
This is what I like. Very relaxing. Thanks.
Awesome Jason very beautiful.
Perfect timing for a winter camping video. Hopefully there is more snow this year than last so we can enjoy some bourbon, fires, and camping
You are a man after my own heart.
He’s living the dream
What a surprise finding so much snow. It looked really beautiful. The van does great in deep snow, it's impressive!
That is ideal snow to drive in. As the year progresses that will change plus I was down to 20psi in the tires.
Jason
Never realized that I wanted to go fishing in the snow ( not ice fishing 🥶) until watching this video. ❄️🎣❄️
Really amazed me how the van just rolled through that ❄️ snow 😮.
Another great adventure!!! Gotta find those fish!
Dude, its "i dont need snow chains season" again. I dig it, ive been pokin ya about that for like 5 years now in good fun. Stay safe out there. Super great content!
and 5 years later I still won’t waste my time with them. 🤣 I do appreciate you watching. 👍
Jason
He's not worried cause his buddy is Casey LaDelle lol
Nice work. Stay warm out there and thanks for sharing.
Learning curves. Hang in there. I love your honest experience. And the video has beautiful scenes.
For a lazy Sunday or camping. Honey whiskey, coffee and French vanilla creamer. So yummy.
Yay snow season is back!!
Great video!! So glad you had same casual relaxation!!
I’ve fasted for 7 days just water what your feeling is your sugars dropping rapidly makes you feel this way once it’s stabilize it goes away
I really enjoyed that video Jason! Thank you for sharing!
This was lovely. Thank you for letting me live an adventure through your videos. ❤
Beautiful scenery!!
Absolute peace and secluded!!
Love it
This is real TV content…
Not like all the BS we see nowadays!
Keep it coming !!
That was just relaxing. totally enjoyed it. Continued safe travels....
GREAT VIDEO!
Peaceful beauty! Thank you, Jason.
My grandmother ALWAYS had Stagg in her pantry. Moved to the East Coast and could never find it so I but it on Amazon. Best canned chili EVER.
Great vid, it’s fun to hear your old music at the end too ;) thanks for sharing a part of your life w/ us.
Glad to have you back with some vids
Wow, great editing skills. Thank you for sharing.🫶🏼👌🏼
Loved the pictographs. Alone in the wilderness is a favorite.
i think its great you can stand up in your van .
Hello Jason , sometimes unplanned can be the absolute BEST!
60% of the time it's the best time all the time🤣
These types of videos by you are my favorite.
My wife and I spent some time camping around Steens and out east of there two years ago, it's one of my favorite places I've been.
Thank you for this video Jason it made my day
That was so peaceful, we have fireworks going off here in the UK, driving us nuts, so it was great to see your video. Thanks. Love and peace.

The perfect day. Thanks for sharing.
I miss videos more often. Love watching your adventures
Enjoyed every bit of this. This feels awesome.
Great video Jason cool setup in your van
Wonderful video it brings back memories when I was young.
1st time viewer. Testament to the insulation of the veh when you have to go atop to clear the snow! Intrigued, subbed for more content.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
One of the best Jason.
Great video very entertaining and peaceful and beautiful. I can’t drive so I appreciate you driving into the mountains and showcasing the snow.
From one Jason to another, love the videos!
It looks like a lot of fun.
I have a similar hobby in Korea^^
Very impressed you made it out of that! Love the drone footage at the end.
I do so enjoy your videos. And I like the way you built out your van.
Just getting around the watching this. Awesome video Jason! Can't wait till we can get around a campfire here soon.
Big Fan of yours 👍🏻❤️
Sometimes simple is better thanks for the video.
Nice to see a new video. I love all of your videos and love following you on all your adventures!!
Cool stove ❤ I mean Hot 🔥 stove 😊
Been Vanlifing in L.A. County, here. To save up, renovate, and get back out to the middle of nowhere with a Starlink myself.
Wonderful video and thanks for making them and sharing....peace
Always enjoy your work ! Thank you.
Hermano tus vídeos son una inspiración ❤ y una meditación algún día espero poder vivir así de feliz 🎉😂 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱🫡
Unexpected Snowstorm......sure...lolol. Like the campers in the rain....
Witness the miracle!😊
First time watching! Awesome bro!
We got snow at 4,200 ' is ware my house is .I've been living in the cascades for 24 years and hopefully this year we will get some big storms i love the change and the action it brings.
Love it, thanks and be careful ❤
Another great video. I was right there with you.
not lonely , not alone... Cheers brother
Have fun. Most of us run from the snow. Take care.
Awesome brother I love your videos/work and generosity
Good stuff Jason. I really enjoyed the warmth of the van “ cabin”. Sometimes the cold just gets in the bones and you have to shack-up for a while 👍. You really redeemed yourself after that creepy stalker video you did of trying out the night vision apparatus on all of Donald’s Patreon folks! 😂😂😂
