      If you ever decide to try it out for yourself, I'd highly recommend going with a buddy or two to share the experience. The reality of being out like this completely cut off from your usual daily routines and facing new unforeseen challenges is sometimes a 50/50 in terms of what your experience will be. It's a great way of living if you ease into the lifestyle, even if it's only for a weekend at a time, just getting out there and in touch with the more simplistic and perhaps primal ways of life. I used to go out camping with 2 friends far out in the woods for a weekend every month or so, and just sitting out there in good company with a fire burning for hours, enjoying some home cooked food, building up your small camp over the days etc.. it's such a nice way to relax and get some perspective on life :)

    Nice!!! Here’s a trick I learned in the Himalayas for mountain pizza...it saves you stove time (fuel) by not having to pre-cook the ingredients. All you have to do is build it upside down! So start with the meat, then quickly add the veggies after the fat renders in the pan, then add some cheese if you’d like, then add the crust on top. Let it cook for a few minutes, then just flip that sucker over to brown the bottom. Easy as pie...or in this case, pizza.
    Also, you’re in the snow! No need to cut all hunched over on the ground. Dig a small pit and use the snow you’ve dug out to build a bench on the edge of the pit. 1 foot deep pit + 1 foot bench = 2 feet of room to put you’re legs in to. Then you can comfortably lean over to the other side of the pit and use that ledge to cut, chop, do whatever.
    Nice video man. Happy camping.

    As an old Canadian gold exploration geologist I have a lot of experience in winter conditions.
    Vehicle wise I recommend upgrading to winter windshield wipers in these conditions as their rubber shrouded nature prevents ice build up on your wipers, making for a clearer windshield.
    If you haven't done so I recommend putting chains on all 4 wheels.
    Your choice of Sorel Caribou boots is excellent though I would blouse my pant bottoms into my socks or wear good gaiters. It keeps your pant legs drier in the snow.
    I would use a small 24" handled ax rather than a knife and baton. You are in a truck and have no need to save the weight and an ax can do a lot more than a knife and do it faster, more safely and with less effort. Imagine if you were in real bush and not a parking lot. You would probably need to buck up a fallen tree for fire wood or for poles.
    I have had to overnight in the bush in winter unexpectedly with only my field pack and ax. It is not a problem as you can make a lean to with your ax and then get a good fire going, make a bed with the spruce boughs and branches and then use your space blanket from your emergency kit.
    Shovel wise, I'd go with a larger, square aluminum snow shovel. I'd keep a steel spade too but for digging harder material if needed.
    Finally, I recommend clearing off all of the snow from your vehicle before you drive off. Leaving heavy snow on your roof when you drive is lazy and it can blow off suddenly at road speeds, blocking your visibility or worse, blowing onto another vehicle and blocking theirs.

    Oh man, I love this video. I watched this for the first time back when it came out. I had first moved to WA and had no car. I dreamed of doing the same while watching this video. Time went on and months down the road we got nailed with Covid. I got a truck right before the prices for used cars went through the roof. It’s an old ford ranger and has a fiberglass shell over the bed. The last 4-5 years have been so much, and it’s refreshing to come back and watch this. Now I’ve camped all along highway 2 from the E to leavenworth. I’ve even seen you on the road once! Ah well, glad to have this experience, and glad you got yours in too! All love brother, hope you been gettin out and continuing the lifestyle every once and a while

I watched your video and shivered along with you watching the snowfall in the Cascades; here there’s green grass and trees with green leafs and less than a mile from warm Gulf of Mexico waters.

I believe that everyone possesses a spirit of exploration. The pizza looked incredibly delicious and crispy, and I had never seen a breakfast like yours before. Please excuse any confusion in my writing, as I have used a translator. I wish you all the best, and please convey my congratulations to your mother for her incredible pizza recipe.

    I went through a few of those severe snow storms living in my van in colorado - It was a fun challenge.. I was set up and insulated real good , and I was able to shelter my generator and I had propane heat. So I was nice and warm, and it was fun -
    It was tiring shoveling snow all night, but I enjoyed shoveling the snow . I miss the mountains and the snow sometimes. But It was getting hard to find places to park the van and sleep, and I could feel impending doom coming to the us. So I got as far away as I could.

I’m also liking the bush lifestyle of starting fires etc that you’re adding to your videos lately. Those are basically the two genre videos I watch ( van/RV life & bush survival shelter life).

I tell you it was delicious!!! the crust was buttery and chewy/crispy like a pan pizza should, and all ended well. Just wanted to share my skillet pizza story!!! Loved the vid!
