In this episode of Living The Van Life, my son Jaydon and I take my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia campervan out into the Mount Baker Wilderness to do some hiking up to Bearpaw Mountain Lake for some alpine lake trout fly fishing. From there we set up camp around the van and build a campfire for some cowboy style cooking in a cast iron skillet.

    I love watching these videos: they are so relaxing. The views are epic and I can learn skills as I watch.

    Who maintains the trails. Someone does

  3. Jennifer J on December 22, 2022 at 1:40 am

    On foot, in the van, you find the best spots to camp. I enjoyed this video! Thanks for taking us along.

  4. alxcsb on December 22, 2022 at 1:42 am

    Hey man. I would really love to know two things, and I do apologise if it’s been asked before. What sort of whiskey are you enjoying and what kind of engine and transmission are in your van? Thank you for all the relaxing and enjoyable content, I’m really thankful for all of it. Keep it up!

  5. Leslie Smith on December 22, 2022 at 1:44 am

    Love that you do this as a family. If you rally want to learn some camp fire skills they would not be complete without looking up char cloth or char material. I think you will appreciate it. Take care out there.
