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.
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.
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!
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 🙏
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.
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.
"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!
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 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
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
As much as I enjoy camping & exploring the great outdoors, I don’t get allure of camping out in the snow. Hey, but more power to you and thank you for the video.
It's hard to beat the look/smell/feel of wood heat. Only down side is it can sometimes dry the air out a bit too much. Wish I could get out there.......anywhere really. Great watching you do it though. Keep 'em coming!
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!
Nice little run out there mate. Love the winter atmosphere. I’d love a wood burner in my van. I live in my Lorry here in the UK all week and try and escape in my van a lot. I do struggle with what to do at nights being mostly in the concrete jungle especially since I spent most of my life outdoors in Africa, etc. Overlanding. It’s difficult passing the time with my head buried in an IPad or phone at night and your videos are a great way to escape that and enjoy the wilderness through your experiences so thank you.
Cool vid, jason. Kind of reminds me of one of my favorite videos you did 6 years ago . Trip to Hot Springs alvord with mat an amanda. It's one of my favorites, and ur survival winter camp meet-up 2014
Jason, just found your channel so I have a lot of catching up to do. Wife and I lived in a Ford Hitop for a year - very basic, not fancy like yours. We were comfortable (until she wasn't). Traveled from Key West to Vale, CO - desert to Rockies. I'll be living vicariously through you... looking forward to the journeys.
I envy you buddy lol. I have some video on my channel of my old Ford 4x4 Van with 39.5” Super Swampers lol. Sold it over 20 years ago unfortunately 😢 wish I still had it. Maybe I’ll build another when I retire lol.
I really liked your book pick - truly a great one! Thanks for the video and greetings from Tampere, Finland where we just lost the first snow of this fall (and waiting for the next one:)
Nearly all of my friends winterize their rigs in the fall or after hunting season. Living in Central Oregon and having a RV that is designed to be used in cold weather, winter is the best time of the year. We will be heading east later in the week to camp in the high desert. I need to order my snow park permit. we will then camp in snow parks in the Cascades for some snowshoeing and nordic skiing. Lots of things to do and see during winter months. It is better then staying home.
Amazing how many of us have been inspired by Dick Proenneke. And to think of what he captured video wise pre GoPro and Drone. And don't worry about the snow @CaseyLaDelle needs snow recovery content. 😂
I just came out of the Sierras yesterday. I was hoping for snow…move the deer around, but nothing. Saw lots of deer, just no bucks ☹️. Still beautiful up there. Hoping to get back up there for some prospecting in another week or two. Maybe get a few quail, maybe a turkey 🤞. And that series is awesome. That guy was a modern day pioneer. The lake may have been irony 🤣. As usual, another awesome video. Always appreciated. And the REAL “Red Dawn” is on the “Tube” 😁👍
Hey Jason...great video... ur the man! We got snowed on a couple weeks ago up in Utah...we went to bed listening to freezing rain but at some point it got quiet ...and we thought it had stopped but it was just the rain turning into snow....not sure I had ever experienced that before. The Kimbo looked awesome in the morning all covered in snow lol...
Its great waking up to snow especially when you are prepared for it. I bet the Kimbo looked great. I am sure must be a video for me to check out. Jason
❤ Hey man! New vanlife youtuber here (SUNFLOWERS BIG ADVENTURES) WOW your stove flu in the rolled down window is amazing, I have never seen that before! also great snow adventure! peace and love SUNFLOWER'S BIG ADVENTURES❤
I’ve heard that further west, along the Cascades, from Northern California to Washington State, they are getting hammered by an atmospheric river; snowfall totals are in the feet and lower level rainfall counts are in the several inches range - maybe 12 to 16 inches are expected.
You might want to head to Humboldt County CA. The weather is still pretty good and our mountains don't have snow yet. Good Video; I really enjoyed your unplanned expedition.
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.

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

Off the cuff, not planned. Exactly what I love.

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

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.
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.
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 🙏
Loved seeing you camping in the snow. Brings back memories of your early videos. ❤
Livin' the dream for all of us, thanks for taking us with you

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
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.
This is what I like. Very relaxing. Thanks.

Good stuff Jason...
Winter camping 👍
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.
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
Agreed
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. ;)
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.
Thank you
Another great adventure!!! Gotta find those fish!
Beautiful scenery!!
Absolute peace and secluded!!
Love it
This is real TV content…
Not like all the BS we see nowadays!
Keep it coming !!
Dude, that is living the life!!
@@stphns1737 being drunk and eating canned goat chili in wet socks and pants is not living
Hermano tus vídeos son una inspiración ❤ y una meditación algún día espero poder vivir así de feliz 🎉😂 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱🫡
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
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!!!
Your van build actually inspired my suburban build.

For a lazy Sunday or camping. Honey whiskey, coffee and French vanilla creamer. So yummy.
You are a man after my own heart.
Learning curves. Hang in there. I love your honest experience. And the video has beautiful scenes.
8:550 "Who moved my cheese" - I read that book a little less than 20 years ago! 😀
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.
Never realized that I wanted to go fishing in the snow ( not ice fishing 🥶) until watching this video. ❄️🎣❄️
Ironically running some classical music on the turntable while watching this and just using subtitles on your video. Pretty cool.
Really amazed me how the van just rolled through that ❄️ snow 😮.
Great video Jason cool setup in your van
That was just relaxing. totally enjoyed it. Continued safe travels....
Wonderful video and thanks for making them and sharing....peace
I really enjoyed that video Jason! Thank you for sharing!

Hello Jason , sometimes unplanned can be the absolute BEST!
60% of the time it's the best time all the time🤣
It's hard to beat the look/smell/feel of wood heat. Only down side is it can sometimes dry the air out a bit too much. Wish I could get out there.......anywhere really. Great watching you do it though. Keep 'em coming!
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
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.
I miss videos more often. Love watching your adventures
This was lovely. Thank you for letting me live an adventure through your videos. ❤
Awesome Jason very beautiful.
Have fun. Most of us run from the snow. Take care.
Hello friend..sangat menyenangkan lihat vidio ini.. sehat selalu
Great video Jason; we've been watching your work since 2021, and this is really great work, thank you for sharing!
These types of videos by you are my favorite.
Peaceful beauty! Thank you, Jason.

Very impressed you made it out of that! Love the drone footage at the end.
Hi brother! I’m a fellow nomad. Just found your channel.
And loving it. The stove set up is awesome.

Thank you for this video Jason it made my day
Yay snow season is back!!
He’s living the dream
Wonderful video it brings back memories when I was young.
Loved the pictographs. Alone in the wilderness is a favorite.
The perfect day. Thanks for sharing.
not lonely , not alone... Cheers brother
Great vid, it’s fun to hear your old music at the end too ;) thanks for sharing a part of your life w/ us.
Thank you Jason! Just perfect 👌
Sometimes simple is better thanks for the video.
Hey Jason! 👋 just subscribed to your channel. I'm excited about more amazing vlogs!🎉
Awesome brother I love your videos/work and generosity
I envy you buddy lol. I have some video on my channel of my old Ford 4x4 Van with 39.5” Super Swampers lol. Sold it over 20 years ago unfortunately 😢 wish I still had it. Maybe I’ll build another when I retire lol.
Glad to have you back with some vids
I did like this video. Wow you got a lot of snow. It’s beautiful. Thank you. Take care
Thank you
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.
i think its great you can stand up in your van .
I really liked your book pick - truly a great one! Thanks for the video and greetings from Tampere, Finland where we just lost the first snow of this fall (and waiting for the next one:)

Love the Steens! Was there in August and was able to get to some great overlooks.
You might want to head to Humboldt County CA. The weather is still pretty good and our mountains don't have snow yet. Good Video; I really enjoyed your unplanned expedition.
Always enjoy your work ! Thank you.
That is super cool.. thanks for the video.. now I want some bacon.
youve just gained another faithful viewer! Ill be binging!!
Beautiful area, very enjoyable!
Hello good morning Jason , a veces uno debe aislarse un poco para sentir los nuevos caminos de la vida , saludos desde Puenteareas 😊
