Last November (2021) I took a chance and crossed the border down into Baja Mexico for the ultimate van life adventure down the Baja Peninsula. Little to my knowledge did I know I would accidentally meet a Baja 1000 race team that would unfold into THEE most adventurous adventure yet! In this 4 part Van Life In Baja video series, the LTVL Sprinter sets sail yet again for another Baja van life experience. Welcome aboard the adventure.

I wonder if Chad has ever considered creating a Van Life cookbook of all the recipes we've seen him make over the years. I imagine some of these would be pretty delicious even if made at home.
1001 ways to use Italian Sausage while living the Van Life
Yes a " traveling with Chad,and good cooking" any ideas for his book.😄👍🤔
Just what the world needs, another cookbook...
I’d buy it, his camp fire cooking looks good as hell.
@@scottbuxton7347 that’s funny, there’s never a video without the old Italian sausage. I did mention to Chad once when there was no Italian sausage that maybe something was wrong, to his amusement
Of all the blogs and vlogs that I watch you have the best production qualities. Love your drone work the scenes are magnificent. Your choice of mood music is tops too.
I live in Calexico! I can't believe you rolled by my town! Awesome!
Another fantastic award winning video. Thank you Chad!
Thanks for sharing this my friend. I love been following your adventures for a long time. I appreciate you videos especially when you start cooking and the winter ones. The Artic series was nice. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to the next videos in this series. I really enjoyed the Baja 1000 adventure in November so pretty sure I am going to enjoy this one too. Be safe down there. Have fun. Enjoy. Love from Canada.
Love the drone shots. I’ve seen many videos of vanners going there but these are by far the best pictures to really see the places. And the music choices were perfect.
I was stationed in San Diego for 4 years. Ocean to my left, desert and mountains to my right. Couldn't beat it.
Amazing content Chad. From the second you hooked up with these guys on the Baja 1000 video it was clear that "living the van life" is all about this sort of stuff. You talked before crossing the border about being out of your comfort zone and how nervous you were and then BOOM within 24 hours you got the payoff for taking the chance, with an experience of a lifetime. Appreciate all you do, the skill with which you make your videos and the positive energy. Legend 💪
Chad, it always makes me happy when you are not alone! I know you enjoy your nomad life, but can't help feeling sad when you can't share these awesome adventures with someone with you! You are an inspiration to soooooo many and give us insight into so many interesting and varied experiences! God bless your sharing your life and adventures! Tacos and nachos are my life! Peace out!
Great footage Chad. I went with my husband and 2 dtrs to the Baja 500 & 1000 more than 10 yrs ago as a Ham operator for race/safety purposes. I ended up doing first aid as an EMT at a chase plane crash. That was an adventure. Fortunately there were no injuries incurred by those on board the plan. We had memories beyond and then some. My intro was kind of special. A man herding goats was swinging his machete and yelling in Spanish he would kill anyone that hit his goats. You know what? I believe him and passed that message to share with the drives. To my knowledge, no goats were injured during the race, at least not near me. All that action must be tough on the local residents.
Well done Chad! You first Baja video left me wanting more. So glad you made it back down.
I thought you should know your channel was a big inspiration for buying my own van two weeks ago and beginning my own build. Starting out humbly with a 2002 all-wheel-drive Astrovan.
That was a cracking video Chad ! Even as a vegetarian and usually eating as i watch , your cooking always makes me hungry!
Great drone video work as always. Nice to see the race team again also !
Stunning video!! You have really stepped up your game. I have enjoyed your content for years now and always will be thrilled when I see you post. Well done. God bless
I love it when you cook a delicious meal and sip some whiskey like back in the old days great content man especially the Baja Series is very dope.
Sitting on the beach with a cool drink is as good as things can be. Enjoy,
Superb adventure! Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us! Sincere regards!
Thanks Lupe for putting me on! 👌🏾
Amazing Chad! Keep up the awesome work!
I went back and wrote that recipe down! Can’t wait to try it. Great video Chad. You live every day to the fullest ! 👍
That episode was epic. Chad you love what you do and that love comes through. Never stop
Thank you!
Yet another top notch video.
Loved it Chad, looking forward to parts 2 and 3 😁
Thanks for taking us along. It made me feel young again. Live it….
Nice to see you enjoying a warmer climate. Thank you for another awesome video. Been following the channel for some years now and the videos just get better and better. Keep up the good work.
Awesome, thank you, Danny!
AHH! Chad you are in my neighborhood! And Seaside Market is my favorite place! It's paradise here. Love you channel!
Thank you for being so true. The video of the trip to the north of Canada is epic!
Hello Chad, I have been following you for quite a while, and I love all your videos, the Arctic adventure was phenomenal, Keep up the great videos! One thing, never put olive oil on the boiling spaghettis, it makes the pasta slick and the sauce won't stick. Cheers and keep making those videos! Buon Appettit!
Wow it's cold at 21 degrees, while I view this video its a mere 73 and climbing. Man and his dog make it so much more warmer. J
Chad, that looked awesome, mental and insainly great fun...Great to see LTVL branching out down into Mexico, and loved seeing eldad again, Takes me back to the vanagon days...
Great food as well chad. And great footage of Mexico with the drone following the sprinter through town. Until the next time...Peace out, keep on Trucking.
Yes, live your life Chad! I loved every minute of this vlog, including the food!
Thanks for watching-
Again..quality time with a quality video and of course from chad the film maker..thank u so much chad for sharing your videos..keep safe and healthy..god bless u always and all the things you do
EPIC AF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE the Baja Racing!
Me, too! More to come-
Sooo good!!! You’re doing great things Chad!
Absolutely professional. Better than any tv show.
Love those waves. 🏄♂️ 🌊
Chad that was a great experience through your efforts 😊 specially the rally type driving 👍 beautiful beach 👌 always I enjoy watching your videos very nicely done 😊. keep going be safe and happy.
i'll never say it enough : how pro is your video montage ! what a pleasure ! and those landscapes... waouh ! thanks again :)
Lovely...good to see you again!!!
you are the man! My first video of yours and I loved it... see you in Baja!
Holy crap Chad, this is awesome!
It's my personal perception that the thing LTVL's audience comes back for is the solitude it can very well relate to (because, you guessed it, people are terribly lonesome). Too many people in front of the camera, colorful distractions, fun things to do... veer off course for what the folks originally came here for. That is why the video that virtually launched the channel was almost devoid of words, just the vast white emptiness, a metal mug of whiskey, a profound solitude and admiration for the beauty of nature.
sweet love watching your videos keep up the good work
Great video chad great looking meal thank for sharing.
You definitely stand out of the rest of all the others. Chad ! You have the right spirit, attitude and technical knowledge. Wishing you all well !
Thanks for the kind words, Zdenka Musilova-
Awsome video Chad and a great park up find on the beach 👌
Geez!!!
That ride in the back seemed pretty wild, lol jostle the insides a bit, in a fun way! 😆 Thanks for the adventures!
That’s a seriously good vid!
Superb...... As usual. 👍
I love how ALL the dashboard warning lights on the prerunner were on LOL
Epic movie. Great insight of riding inside a off road racing truck. Hopefully they will have better luck with the transmission. Thanks Don
Loved this video, what beautiful places. Can't wait until the winter ones come those are my favorite.
Cheers!
Excellent video, especially the drone footage! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Best quality vlogs Chad
Excellent!!!! As always 😎
Great video Chad! Love it when you come by my neck of the woods. I’m lucky enough to work in Encinitas 🤙🏽
Man your videos always bring such great memories down there in Baja. Can’t wait to save a little so I can make it down there. Cheers!
Good luck to you, hope you make the trip. Cheers!
dude i was hoping you’d join that race team again. that video from last year was a trip and a half. easily my favorite vid of yours
Not gonna lie, when you did the town tour of San Filipe, with that music behind it, the first thing I thought of was "From Dusk Til Dawn"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Really enjoyed this video. Love the beach scenes! Take care and be safe out there! 👍🥰
This video gave me such a good vibe, love it
Glad you liked it!!
Wow...loving all that gorgeous Sea of Cortez footage, and your hike up to the abandoned structure at the top of the stairs. Windsurfing on the Sea of Cortez has been on my bucket list for a while; gotta get down there!
Thanks so much! Hope you make it down there one of these days-
Another epic adventure
This is great Chad =)
I can't believe how awesome the production quality of these videos are.
Thanks, Richard! Cheers!
You are number one of vanlifer! This video i remember my trip of La Jolla....😍
Amazing video!
Love your videos! I certainly miss that California coastline! Your Baja adventure last year was epic. Thanks for sharing with us. We used to venture down to San Felipe about 30 years ago, great seafood.
It's some incredible country and a dream of mine for a long time. Thanks for the kind words, Irene-
I love you Chad since 2019😍 stay safe 🥰💕
Baja. BRING IT ON. My Dads favorite place in the world. His ashes are spread on an isolated beach in Baja. Miss it.
Great meal Chad I love this sea so peaceful such beauty love to spend a few days their
Chad. That Timelapse shot of the fog rolling in..just money bud. Awesome 👏
love the opening scenes of southern california, used to live there, miss it deeply.
Hi Chad - I‘m looking forward to this Baja Series - cant‘wait for it - what a expirience - and It was nice to see Eldad in the movie again - say Hi to him and enjoy yout time - cool stuff - Greets urs from Switzerland 🤟
Thanks for watching- Cheers!
Blown away… I’m utterly amazed and stunned for years now I’ve been saying it as badger!?
I LOVE the toast at 21:46 and how you matched it with the music.
That's one bad ass van!
Chad don’t add the basil until the end sprinkle it on the top you’re missing out on a ton of flavor!!!!
Such awesome content. Never stop making these. Been a huge fan & then discovered you shot for Racer X, transworld moto just made me a bigger fan! Moto is what fueled my love for photography some 16 years ago!!
Thanks, Corey. Ups and downs, as anyone experiences trying to follow their dreams. But very fortunate to have been able to pursue my passions, whether it be photography, my channel or my van. Yes, my time with Racer X and filming supercross and motox have been some of my favorite memories. Thanks for watching!
Chad's in the house! I love it when your pop up i remember ba ha race video i was so hooked race guys are cool! ⛱ awwww
Hahaha! So glad you're enjoying the channel, Cathy Florida girl. Thanks for watching-
Chad you rock brother, awesome adventures👍
tt
🙏... Just waiting for next episode 🙏
How you doin Chad, loving the content bruv. Keep Livin the Van Life, sending you best wishes from South Africa.
💞 keep up the good work
I enjoy viewing your life experiences
Love your content Chad.
So good so far 👍
Good deal. Looks sick and cool as hell.
What's up Chad?!! From The Arctic to the sunny California to Mexico ah! You know how to live a little! Great video,as always! Great soundtrack choices, as always.
Greetings from the other side of the world 🌍🇬🇧
Ps.... From an Italian girl... Great pasta dish Chad!
Finally, another video! And a nice one, too. But I have to mention: You seem to never wash your groceries? And that (sponsored) knife?! Just makes every Chef shudder. Well, or laugh, hahaha.
That parking lot dinner looked darn good!
You know Chad, maybe the next thing you should start would be a Cooking Channel. Some of the food that you make and eat look pretty amazing. I'm sure your fans on the LTVL Channel want to know how you make such delicious food AND, how do you get these recipes? Come on man, you gotta share with your fan base.. lol
Awesome…many thanks
Mexico looks great place for a holiday great video man 😎👍
Baja is an awesome spot!
Brilliant video Chad.
Cheers!
Loved this video.. reminded me of the time about 20 years ago when a good friend of mine thet owned a restaurant/Bar in Cabo San Lucas and myself drove all the way back from Cabo too Orange County california over a 4 days trip and I’ve never forgotten it, woukd love to do it again someday. Was the most beautiful picturesque scenery I’ve ever seen in my life with the land going from Reds to Blacks and mountains and then coming around turns out in the middle of nowhere and seeing palm trees and the most beautiful crystal clear blue ocean I’ve ever seen in my life where we pulled over and went snorkeling & had a few beers sitting by the edge of the sea with nobody or nothing around us for hundreds of miles, was just amazing!! I encourage anyone thsts never done it to definitely do it before you can’t any longer, hoping to do this again some day and your video is making me want to leave today. Thanks!! 👍👍
That’s such a cool experience right? I did the same back in November and it was a fun experience
@@LivingTheVanLife definitely!! 🤙🤙
Top notch
14:25 the whistles and guitar… bringing back the wild west vibe 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Awesome video Chad
I lived in a van in Santa Cruz CA for 5 years. Sometimes I really miss it.
