      Chad gets almost 100% of the net profit uploading on RUclips... it would be idiotic to go to a dying source of entertainment such as 📺...
      A Netflix show would do significantly better than a TV show

Oh, and the awesome cooking, and the whiskey, AND Lola, all bonuses! It's a real gift that you give, and one appreciated by me, especially in these times. Thank you.

    To the naysayers...get a life. What an incredible way to spend time away from traffic, all the busy people, from the madness of the pandemic, to get out into the wilderness and choose what you want to do, even if it's just to sit by a campfire and relax. Eat great food. Drink a great adult beverage. Enjoy friendship and your dog. Well done, Chad.

  • @paulfitzpatrick3136
    @paulfitzpatrick3136 4 года назад +1

    These videos keep getting better. I love the way this is shot with the longer shot length and first person and aerial views. A lot of yt vids have a close up of the person talking the whole time and you don’t get to see the nature like I prefer. This is shot like a film not a high school project. Bonus points for bringing the good doggo!

    My healer would only go ahead about 30 to 40 yards then stop and chek my progress. Its common in this breed. Love it. Also on your walk back to camp, one treestump looked like a bear and it looked like your dog took pause at the sight of it. That was funny and heartwarming.

Years ago, when I discovered Living the Van Life, I never realized how much enjoyment I was going to get from these videos that you produce. One after the other they just keep getting better and better. There is no question that you are a true professional videographer. Henry Harrison is correct. This should be a show for television. Thanks so much for taking me along on your adventure Chad. I really appreciate it. I’ll be looking forward to more fishing and more good food next week. Bye until next time.

    Loving your channel, something so relaxing & ASMR about your videos.
    Hoping to get a van in next year or 2 to travel around to UK.
