Hey Chad just wanted to reach out and say that I love the channel! I recently got an ’84 Vanagon so watching your videos are very inspiring for me to get on the road and explore. My question for you is what kind of tool kit do you have in your westy bravo tool holder? Hope you’re holding up alright!
Don’t you think an ax is better with a fiberglass handle?
I think ur are Viking
Lol i love my hubby’s beard very important gear .
Too many annoying ads on this video. You never had ads on your videos before. Are you getting desperate or greedy?
Chad is an interesting man. But does he give you a kratos from gow feel?
How old are you?
Your channel helped me get threw these wierd times man. Mahalo from Hawaii!!
Thanks for sharing, you answered all the questions I had as well a few I didnt know I had.
Hi chadd, you are a good man.
Thanks man 🙌
Awesome video!!
Holy crap! That tree tried to attack you.
the best hatchet from sweden!
Camera gear?
you just make things look easy 😊
How do you make those cotton ball petroleum jelly fire starters? Do you just roll a cotton ball in petroleum jelly? That seems too easy. Those are fantastic. BTW, I love your channel!
I’d be carrying a 10mm for bears or any other possible critters smelling those scrumptious meals
Berry good video
I’m stuck in lockdown in UK just hoping I can soon get out in my fully converted pop top vw caddy maxi…just to explore the wilderness like you
Could you please tell me a little about your fire place. It looks to me like some type of washing machine bowl ?
The best thing about this video, you aren’t showing us pointless firearms. Who honestly needs a gun for anything other than hunting.
Hi from Venezuela
How you edit your video?
Check out snickers pants . Snickers workwear
What year is you’re van?
Hello Chad, Question, how do you keep your knives and axes sharp? Awesome ax+saw kit with pouch! I love watching your videos very much, keep on trucking my friend!
TWO QUESTIONS:
1) What is the belt sheath you used for your Trayvax knife? Does it fit all belts?
2) Do you have a video of you wrapping paracord around the Travax or the head of your axe (seen in B roll)? Your wrap is very clean, I’d like to learn that.
Hi Chad great video as always just wondering are you and Anne still an touch hope your well and staying Safe
Really helpful video Chad, also want to see one video on ur whole cooking utensils, stove and other things you have in ur van… You have such a minimalistic van with limited yet useful things, this inspires and helped me a lot making my mind for camping im wilderness all alone by myself what i need and what i should not carry.
Thank You for Inspiration and Love from India brother.
what are the clips you use to attach the ax to the inside of your van?
What do you keep for safety purposes in your van or on you? Thanks for the amazing videos. Keep it up🙂
Would like to .meet Chad he is doing what I’ve dreamed of
You should add swiss army knife or multitool sir
Здравствуйте, скажите какого года ваша машина
Hi chad dis is rea from philippines maybe u can add some of your experiences travelling alone in snow or forest camping in woods if its a little scary tell us more about it tnx God bless you
Hey Chad just wanted to say I saw your video here and had to buy that knife I just got it wow can’t believe How well it’s made and like you said The sheath it’s not the greatest I’m gonna order the one you got for your knifeAnd now I can’t wait to go in the woods and try it thanks again chad be safe have fun and see you in the next one
Chad’s Tools way to go 👍👍👍
The north face… i still have my jacket which i bought 7 years before from american pax while in extreme weather conditions at Afghanistan…
A weekend warrior compared to a war veteran is cute. 😬😎
He is carrying a whole armoury
Old Hickory butcher knife is made in America and is reasonable and tough. Well worth the money.
What year is your van please
Nice man good video’s and cool tools adventure cooking simple fun etc bee save bro
Ayana das degmesin gardas 👍
Living the van life is not the same as going camping in a van then returning to a house after a night or two. 👿😬😎😎
Wow that branch exploded and only just missed your face! You we’re lucky!😆🙏
I thought your vids on the road were great, but this vid is even better! Ö
What do you carry for your safety in the van?
Wow priceless 😍
