It is a privilege to feel like this journey was made just for me. Chad is like that friend you want. I feel like I should have chipped in for fuel. Thank you so much, Chad, for taking all of us along . I life long dream came true.
💯 feel the same , it’s like he does them for you personally and that you’ve been palls for ever .
Absolutely, this trip is not a joke.
Thank you so much for taking us to the Arctic 🥶 We love all your videos!
I have a Q. How does the drone survive out in those frigid Temps? And....do you have to get permission to fly over the pipeline?
Same to many, who would love to do it themselves but they just cannot do it for various reasons. I watch every single post of this channel.
absolutely great "cinema"!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thx. Chad !!🙋
as a truck driver myself i love seeing trucks lined up with steam rolling out of the pipes...
Chad - Your personal motivations for taking road trips are truly inspiring. It is evident that this journey means a lot to you and your passion is truly admirable. Your dedication to excellence is all over every production!
Chad is at the top of the tree when it comes to van life films they are simply a cut above the rest and I enjoy every single minute 👍
💯
Totally agree. He is the best 👌
What an amazing experience, and you got a sunny day too. Beautiful video. Very profound.
7:04 a Bird's Eye View. Thank you Chad for this Epic and Magnificent Videos ✌️😎❤️🇵🇭
The scenery is unreal. It’s so beautiful and majestic but yet deadly. I was in awe of how vast the landscape was and I was getting anxiety of how cold it is. Chad thank you for taking us along your adventures.
You do a great job of telling the story with amazing cinematography and photos. Being alone while doing this is a lot of work. It also takes a lot of skill for these captures. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Yes, I like others, feel like he is taking us along. Thanks!
Happiness starts with yourself and a deep understanding of who you are and what you like and don’t like!
I think your finest video yet, Chad!
Thanks for bringing us on your journey!
My dream....thanks chad for taking me through ur journey..
Here we Go‼️ Part V‼️ Happy Holidays Chad. 😎✌️❤️🇵🇭
The footage you capture with your drone while simultaneously driving is just extraordinary. Been watching your channel for many years and have loved the evolution of your skills and capabilities but you still maintain the excellent commentary and friendly feel of your older videos early on with the Volkswagen
You put videos together so beautifully; the quality is top notch. Thank you so much for sharing, Chad, and have a merry Christmas!!! 🎄
You are amazing 😊😮
I have learned more about myself traveling solo in my van than I thought possible. I am improving daily. Your videos are inspiring. Thank you for hearing your adventures.
Chad..excellent cinematography and amazing story telling. And that background score ..You are one of the genuine best on youtube.
Wow thank you Chad for sharing and Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
What a fitting book to read after a long day. And what a journey and a joy it’s been to travel along the road with you. Thanks Chad ❤
Awesome
Thank you Chad..
The risk and work.
Thanks for including route map segments in the last coupe of edits! This roadtrip is no joke! Living vicariously through you at the moment - but this kinda trip is on my bucket list!
Beautiful scenery and sure cold in Dead Horse. Nice job on figuring out the Diesel heater problem. Sure enjoying this series. Thanks so much!
You are Awesome and Brave. Thank you for sharing this journey and the breath taking landscapes.
The fact you never stopped smiling says it all,well done Chad, that was epic,we enjoyed it all from start to finish 👍😉
Chad, after episode five, I don't even know if there are any more words that I haven't said in comments during previous episodes. I think I can only repeat myself when I say thank you so much for allowing me (and us) to join you again this time on this adventure full of spectacular scenery and excitement. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday!!🎄I can't wait to see the next episode as well!
Probably the best footage and film making I have seen all year, stunningly beautiful and rugged terrain coupled with an amazing film maker.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful van life with me. I love everything about this channel. The scenery, the meals you cook, the footage, hearing your heart and your why behind it all. You get it and live the real abundant life. God bless you, and Merry Christmas!
Thanks Chad for sharing a "awesome world" with us.
Maybe consider this trip in the summer!
Blessings 👌😀
Episode V truely epic, there is no other word to describe this leg of your adventure.
Stay safe and an eye on your heater filter 👍
i wrote down the quote, “when you sit at home and anticipate how hard something might be, its easy to talk yourself out of those things (or those challenges), but, if you actually hurl yourself into the unknown, you push your limits, you can actually unlock special things within your heart, within your soul.” Chad, you are such an inspiration to me in so many ways and your videos have provided me with a wonderful source of motivation and encouragement as well as comfort and happiness for you and your continual successes. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into the Van Life, not just for all of us but for yourself. Keep on trucking!!!
OMG!!! amazing drone shots, congratulations on achieving your goal and thanks for documenting it for us, viewers. Admiration and envy that you accomplished this in winter!
I just found your channel. I watched a few minutes of your first Arctic adventure and ended up watching everything you've made from the very start. I'm hooked! And I am thoroughly enjoying every one of your masterpieces! I'd love to think of myself as "adventurous", and maybe sometime earlier I was. Unfortunately, I also managed to clip my own wings somewhere along the way. Sadly, but not finally. I may not be able to drive to the Arctic, but your films have managed to help me come "face to face" with some of the most beautiful mountains in the North, at extreme heights even. I'm sure it's nothing compared to actually being there in person, but it was awesome none the less. You have an artistic eye for film and photography, and the wonderful stories and information to captivate the senses. Your timing is perfect and we'll balance. Thank you for your words of Wisdom. You've inspired me to remember I still have my own wings to flex and unfurl, and that it's never too late to start using them again...
Awesome video as always Chad. These adventures to the Arctic are so spectacular and so amazing. You really capture the beauty of the landscape thru your films. It's been a real privilege to ride along on theses amazing adventures.
Thankyou very much Chad for sharing this amazing journey of yours with us .As you said" getting out of your comfort zone " that is what made it possible for us to see . All the way from South Africa not even our Freezer rooms get so cold . One thing for sure you must know and understand Van's setup very well . Enjoy your Van life .
Thanks for sharing such an incredible journey Chad. The route is magnificent. Love the power of that blast stretch, powerful in its bleak beauty. ❤
WOW, Thank you Chad for bringing us, What spectacular scenery Those mountains are amazing and landscape in general so rugged and isolated Unbelievable!, You are truly blessed to experience this. Hope all went well through the night , look forward to the video. watching from Ontario Canada
OMG....Chad! Your message to us as you watched the sunset brought tears to my eyes😢 and touched my ❤️. I wish these young people I worked with heard that message that you only need to prove stuff to you and no one else. You're a beautiful man. I've waited patiently for each episode, as I'm sure all of your followers have. Thank you for the breathtaking views and for taking us along on the journey! Prayers 🙏 🙏 🙏
I don't even know what to say besides thank you. Wow.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁❤
I'm glad it wasn't the heater itself that was broken. I would be inclined to have a back up heater when you do these arctic trips. Yay for the easy fix!
Another fantastic episode! The scenery is spectacular!
This is my favorite video you’ve ever done. Brilliant
That was an awesome journey and to end it off with that almost fatal diesel heater failure, now that's some real Steven King stuff. You really had me sitting on the edge of my chair. Well done.
Amazed at the beauty this earth has to offer for our adventures and appreciation of this world and life. Thank you for sharing your journey, what a beautiful gift you share.
This is beyond awesome! Thank you, Chad, for sharing this adventure.
Bro I respect your tenacity to take this trip. Your words of encouragement are truly inspiring. I respect you 🙏🏾
Atigun Pass: Breathtaking and spectacular! Thank you for sharing this journey! Beautiful Earth it is!
thank you man! amazing adventure. and you are solo no disruption nothing.
Stunning! Can't wait to see the next episode
What a way to spend a Christmas weekend,Merry Christmas 🎄 Chad,love your videos!
My Sprinter is totally my "walk about" facilitator. I had to smile when you said that. The other thing was when you said “when you sit at home and anticipate how hard something might be, it's easy to talk yourself out of those things". I've been doing a bit of that lately and needed to hear this. Thanks for another great episode. I'm glad we didn't need to read about you freezing to death on the Tundra when your heat went out. ;)
Your videography is incredible. Thank you for taking us along on your journey...
Great adventure Chad, thank you for sharing it with us who dream with those travels
OMG, Chad! What a stunning video!!!!!Merry Christmas and a very awesome and safe 'Living The Van Life' New Year! 🥂
Chad, thanks so much because many of us will never have that wonderful experience but, through your cammera and hard work we have almost lived this experience. This is a great job done.
I’ve been watching u since 2018.. and let me just say this is your best work yet. I’m proud of you bro! Keep pushing! Your a pioneer
Those shots through the Atigun Pass were truly Epic !
Congratulations on another great trip. Thank you for your videos
It's so cool that you kept your cool and didn't panic. Awesome video.
Wow!!!! I am speechless! Thank you
That feeling when you find the fix. I felt your relief. 👍
Damn! I really, really enjoyed this one! What a crazy life those people live, just amazing! Thank you for bringing it to us!
Drove the Dalton Highway from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay in 2013. I remember every single place. Thanks for these awesome memories. Great movie. Greets from munich, Germany.
I think everyone has said it but the cinematography, narration, production, content. You feel like you are really there. Unparalleled work Chad...bar none and that includes all the pros.
I’ve been pushing this video off because I knew I needed 36:55 mins of uninterrupted time lol. Absolutely awesome Chad!! Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure. 🤘

Spectacular! Thanks for taking us along!
I have to remember not to take for granted your ability to create and capture sheer beauty in a "no joke" place of destination.
Amazing landscape,
Hi chad hopefully you're van warmed up enough for you looking forward to seeing the next episode

So beautiful scenery with well timing of capturing and this guy is some kind of poet.
Chad you truly are magical!! You do things people only think of!! Second round with artic circle!! Can’t wait to watch video! Plus you play the best music!! I watched round 1. Looking forward to round 2!
Always great videos but I must say this one is a for sure favorite. The visual effects are amazing. Please keep doing what you do. Very inspiring.

Thank you, Thank you & Thank you for taking all of us on this journey. I don’t have the knowledge or the courage to take up such a winter-time adventure.
Amazing drone footage as usual. Glad your heater was back on. Shoooo
Beautiful up there 👍 Thanks for sharing the Adventure. Merry Christmas 🎄
I’ve never seen footage like you provide of Alaska. Thanks for being my eyes. Your drone images are spectacular and your history lessons are an added bonus. 😊. Just found you, totally enjoying the binge.
Thank u again for sharing,Chad👏👏👏Happy Holidays EveryOne🎉🎉🎉
Another great video with spectacular scenery Chad. Merry Christmas from sunny Queensland, Australia.🌲
Hey Chad, great job dude. Way to identify the problem and get it fixed right away. Awesome.
my dad worked on the pipeline in 1975-76. he was at pump station #4 in the Brooks range. he left cassette tapes and photos with him talking about working and living there at the time. it is SO COOL to see this!!! I had hopes of one day seeing it for myself but im in Arizona. long long way away and im not big on solo travel! Thank You.
Glad you figured your diesel heater out, had my diesel gel up one time in my Webasto in Whitehorse when I filled up in Seattle (diesel #1) and then forgot diesel #1 doesn't have cold weather additive like #2 does lol
Whoa, that epiphany watching the sunset was so inspiring and powerful, epic Chad ✨
Merry Christmas! This was a spectacular, exciting and just down right incredible video. I love your adventures and how positive you are through all your adventures. Thank-you for taking us with you! What’s next?
What a great set of documentaries..
Thank you Chad..👍

Awesome Adventure and Beautifull landscape and Views!

Thx for the excellent movie and travel report. Lesson learnt for the diesel heater, the air intake need some kind of regular maintenance under this extrem conditions. Looking forward for the next part of the series.
