    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!

  2. William Hou on December 31, 2020 at 12:52 am

    Don’t you think an ax is better with a fiberglass handle?

  3. fadil jakupi on December 31, 2020 at 12:52 am

    I think ur are Viking

  4. Linda Lavy - Biby on December 31, 2020 at 12:54 am

  5. S Ali on December 31, 2020 at 12:57 am

    Too many annoying ads on this video. You never had ads on your videos before. Are you getting desperate or greedy?

  6. Caroline Yalda on December 31, 2020 at 12:58 am

    Chad is an interesting man. But does he give you a kratos from gow feel?

  7. 타임달 on December 31, 2020 at 1:00 am

  8. lanikai352 on December 31, 2020 at 1:00 am

  15. Jan Folke Rørvik on December 31, 2020 at 1:09 am

  16. Janet Punzalan on December 31, 2020 at 1:09 am

    you just make things look easy 😊

  17. Brian Beecher on December 31, 2020 at 1:10 am

    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!

  18. Elbowguts on December 31, 2020 at 1:11 am

    I’d be carrying a 10mm for bears or any other possible critters smelling those scrumptious meals

  19. Nelson Rivera on December 31, 2020 at 1:13 am

    Berry good video

  20. Dance World on December 31, 2020 at 1:13 am

    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

  21. Leith Murray on December 31, 2020 at 1:15 am

    Could you please tell me a little about your fire place. It looks to me like some type of washing machine bowl ?

  22. Death to Digital on December 31, 2020 at 1:17 am

    The best thing about this video, you aren’t showing us pointless firearms. Who honestly needs a gun for anything other than hunting.

  23. Juan Carlos Bugallo on December 31, 2020 at 1:18 am

    Hi from Venezuela

  24. Sam Floralde on December 31, 2020 at 1:21 am

  27. Billy Shears on December 31, 2020 at 1:25 am

    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!

  28. fradleyjeff on December 31, 2020 at 1:26 am

    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.

  29. rgcsc on December 31, 2020 at 1:26 am

  31. Anneke Eppley on December 31, 2020 at 1:29 am

    Living the van life is not the same as going camping in a van then returning to a house after a night or two. 👿😬😎😎

  47. ryan lett on December 31, 2020 at 1:46 am
