    so you were just in a VW van and now this major upgrade? awesome. maybe i missed it but some back story on what went down.

  2. TickleChits on July 23, 2023 at 3:08 pm

    So you’re rich and pretend to be homeless as a hobby? I really am lost

  3. 699999able Farmer on July 23, 2023 at 3:09 pm

  4. Elizabeth Castello on July 23, 2023 at 3:09 pm

    How do you drive and fly the drome

  5. Overlandvan on July 23, 2023 at 3:09 pm

    Did you take off your tire carrier and box in the back?

  6. R. C on July 23, 2023 at 3:11 pm

    Very nice😎

  7. Richard Austin on July 23, 2023 at 3:12 pm

    Chad, can you list the music…..

  8. Guillermo Merino jr on July 23, 2023 at 3:15 pm

    Espectacular 🔥

  9. Frankiez on July 23, 2023 at 3:15 pm

    Chad, you,ve got to now try and get some wildlife shots. Love those mountains

  10. Lark Hughes on July 23, 2023 at 3:15 pm

    Gonna go out and get me some brats now.

  11. Peggy McCurdy on July 23, 2023 at 3:17 pm

    I’ve spent a lot of time in The Dallas, Oregon. Know what you mean about the wind. The worst rain I’ve been in was driving to the airport. It was all I could do to see the highway. Love Oregon and Washington.

  12. SS on July 23, 2023 at 3:17 pm

    Well done. Your videos are cool and interesting. 👍

  13. Frankiez on July 23, 2023 at 3:18 pm

    Chad I dont believe I missed this one and I can now watch in 4k, hell yeh ! What a nice surprise to cheer up my evening, just helps me relax and to dream of my next trip with my lad of 7. I too have a Sprinter that im currently converting. I like the way you can just churn out your own peanut butter fresh into a pick and mix tub there. It looked like you were going for some pretty healthy produce there but you disappointed me Chad with the sausage again. You just cant walk past that dang sausage without popping it into your basket. Love you man ❤

    Weird question . I know your not a banker. Are you still with capitol bank? If so why did you pick that bank . I want to switch but I’m not really sure where to go.

  16. Jewel on July 23, 2023 at 3:21 pm

    Beautiful camp spot, Chad. The drone shots of the mountains were stunning. The Cinnamon Twist Oh my goodness!!!!! Love cinnamon buns. We have a place here in Dartmouth Nova Scotia Canada that they call "Cinnabon", The cinnamon buns are amazing! They’re huge! I like your choice of music. How do you choose what music to play in your videos? Amazing technology! I love watching shows that have waterfalls. SO peaceful and calming to the soul. The views are stunning and breath-taking! God in all His splendor & glory! How green and refreshing that water is. Those sausages are making my mouth water. Keep safe. Drive safe. God bless you on your next journey. 😘

  17. Sneakers On Feet on July 23, 2023 at 3:30 pm

    Chad ❤️ Italian Sausage over a ⛺️ 🔥

    I’ve been following you for a while now and am trying to catch up on the videos, which btw are excellent, but I had to stop at this one to comment, like someone else has said, the drone video is awesome. Keep up the good work sir. Top quality ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  21. john kersey on July 23, 2023 at 3:35 pm

    super video thank you.

  22. Kevin Jonasson on July 23, 2023 at 3:35 pm

    How do you plan for the future regarding fuel when the world is moving away from fossile fule and more into electric/renewable fuels types?.

  23. Bushcraft Bill on July 23, 2023 at 3:36 pm

    Hi my friend I’ve seen lots of drone footage over the years now. You Sir are in a league of your own. It felt like I was actually hand gliding down that river. Stunning Chad just stunning.

  24. RG237 G on July 23, 2023 at 3:38 pm

    How much did your van build cost ???

  25. Thisaintsyourmomsaccount on July 23, 2023 at 3:39 pm

    Enjoyed my day in the cascades. Thank you for sharing

  26. from1978 on July 23, 2023 at 3:40 pm

  27. Rafah Motovlog on July 23, 2023 at 3:43 pm

  28. Liso's Idea on July 23, 2023 at 3:44 pm

    I’m sorry to tell you Bro, but these sausages, unfortunately, only have the name of Italy :/, gl

  29. Globetrotter72 on July 23, 2023 at 3:44 pm

    👍 👍👍класс!!!

  30. Cybernique on July 23, 2023 at 3:44 pm

    I HAVE A COMPLAINT!! I’m on a fruit and Veggie diet for the next couple of weeks and you didn’t have to make them Italian sausages look that good. I could smell them through the screen! 😂🤣
    Im a just eat these banana chips and go to bed. 😫

  31. susan m miles on July 23, 2023 at 3:45 pm

    do you ever think I’ve getting a four legged friend to travel with you wherever you go keeps you from being lonely

  32. Ratnadip Majumdar on July 23, 2023 at 3:46 pm

    As usual you’re videos are delightful to watch mind blowing location good picturization . Im very happy to see you and your work keep going and keep us entertaining God bless you and be safe and blessed.

  33. Steve V on July 23, 2023 at 3:46 pm

    Well, sitting here on the east coast watching these great videos. I asked my 85 year old dad who is from Snohomish if he’s ever been to Twisp. His answer … “yes, there is a great bakery there”!

  34. CBAmakingAusername on July 23, 2023 at 3:46 pm

    Wow,the drone footage alone was magnificent. Everything else amazing too. Feel like I am there

  35. Robin Price on July 23, 2023 at 3:53 pm

    I don’t think I’ve commented before but this time it’s a must. I live just south of you in Arlington and I can’t tell you what a delight it is to see you show casing some of the most stunning scenery in our amazing state. Your videography and photography are second to none. The time you take to get all those shots and the drone footage really comes through in your final product. Simply amazing.
    Last year when you talked about losing your dad it really touched me. Shortly after that video my dad passed away as well. I was fortunate enough to hold onto him while he left. Now for some reason every time you post another video it makes me think of our dads. It’s a great thing. Thanks again for all your efforts.

  36. David Plotkin on July 23, 2023 at 3:54 pm

    Inspiring, beautiful shots. Seeing your inter-day is really cool. Don’t forget to add the personal cleanliness stuff. I think a lot of people (meaning: me) wonder about the bathroom and shower aspects of van life when water is not on board for that stuff. Thanks again!

  37. Sweaty-Guy_Orlando on July 23, 2023 at 3:56 pm

  38. FJT Life on July 23, 2023 at 3:57 pm

    Excellent video. I love watching these videos. Thank you for sharing them. 😍👍🏻

  39. ashley anderson on July 23, 2023 at 3:57 pm

    what song is that around the 14:15 mark please?? (another great video, thank you!)

  40. Mcdonald's Big Mac on July 23, 2023 at 3:57 pm

    It’s insane how organized you have to be to love this life effectively

  41. Harvinder Rajwant on July 23, 2023 at 3:58 pm

    I am keen to know how you manage your bathing and toilet things

  42. shane powell on July 23, 2023 at 3:58 pm

    ALWAYS LOVE THE CAMERA/DROWN WORK!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

  43. TrayDee0 on July 23, 2023 at 3:59 pm

    Love the video. Weird way to cut an onion tho, a lot of waste and too much work. Cut one end off, the one that gets in the ground, then stripes towards the top, and then dice it up, no need to make a cut through the onion. Layers will make nice dices

  44. Tank on July 23, 2023 at 4:01 pm

    Truly an amazing scenery, what a very good Video. (:

  45. Statsmuhstoot Redner on July 23, 2023 at 4:02 pm

    Watch out for soft ground ok could be sink holes !? Keep your eyes out a naked blond running around in the hills 😆 she’s looking to be a mommy so sasquatch can’t get her nocked up 😆 !! . Yah that’ll be his stabins

  46. Janeth Aldaya on July 23, 2023 at 4:03 pm

    nice travel safe godbless

  47. Gino Longdon on July 23, 2023 at 4:03 pm

    Split up with wife live in Britain if selll house could this be done full time please

  48. Mamadou Diallo on July 23, 2023 at 4:04 pm

    What’s the name of the drone? Grateful if you share a link. Thanks

  49. Astur Manuel on July 23, 2023 at 4:05 pm

    very interesting videos, I would watch for hours, greetings
