And to ride out a storm in the middle of nowhere eating a great, hearty, meal? Pure awesomeness. Chad, it's time for one of your epic camping in a Van during a blizzard video's while making a fabulous meal! Love those video's. Great job as always with the utilization of the drone to capture the scenery. Beautifully filmed!

That's the muddiest desert I've ever seen! I know 99.99% of the time it's dry but it's really informative to see how many desert features are actually caused by water. That red waterfall was an amazing sight.

A red water fall and you can imagine 300 years ago how natives lived with such beauty and we get to see them again with a nomad in 4x4 .Brilliant .

Beeing in a van during a rainy storm is soooo wonderful. And one of the safest places during thunder and lightning...

Your videography is phenomenal, capturing all the amazing images, then in processing getting the colors and exposures spot on. Then you add instrumentals with western, Asian and accents. You present all the components to tell your story. Excellent work.

Beyond amazing!!! The scenery is out of this world... from my perspective literally. I'm from Denmark, which is a very flat country, so this is like driving on the moon for me. Gorgeous, rugged and a little bit scary at the same time. I'm really curious to know, how you film the drone footage while the van is moving. Do you have a photographer with you? Or are you able to both drive the van and control the drone simultaneously?

Mother Nature in the purest form and presentation

Wow, that drone work was incredible. I've travelled in and around Utah since mid 80s and have always been curious what flash floods really look like, luckily never having witness them first-hand. That waterfall footage was amazing! Well done! Sorry about your camera though. We're Canadian --currently in a deep freeze of -30C so we are definitely living vicariously through your trip. The highlight of every year is to camp and hike in and around Utah so I'm enjoying all this incredible scenery and longing for a trip back south in the early spring 2022. We motored down to St. George and snow canyon area for a few weeks once the border opened in November 2021 and hope to hit more of our fav spots (Needles Overlook, Burr Trail and anywhere in Canyonlands) next spring. Thanks for sharing the amazing scenery!

Chad worked so hard for this epic content! Surprised how good actually the iphone video at night on a desert storm.

It’s interesting to see how people enjoy car camping in different country. Japanese camper tend to stay in the car and even cook inside the car. American love being outside and cook outdoor.

Awe inspiring photography. Well done! Bravo skills

Dude, amazing episode. You captured some footage I have never been able to see during a desert flash flood storm. Glad you made it out okay after that rough storm. Cheers.

Hey Chad, I stumbled upon your KZread channel and am absolutely loving it, you're like a modern day Frontier Explorer, akin to the greats like Daniel Boone. Meriwether Lewis, Pike & Kit Carson, albeit you're exploring the back country in your modern day horse, a Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 van. Exploring and documenting your own and your horses capabilities. Being from Ireland it would be great if you used Google Earth to track your location and journey as it would give us international observers some perspective of just where you are. I had to Google the location myself, are you in Arches National Park? You're doing such a great job of promoting the area maybe you should tie in with the local tourist board as I for one would love to visit the area and explore the beautiful landscapes. Maybe tell us a little of the history, geology and stories of the area, I'd love to hear about the indigenous peoples that inhabited the area and the many great stories and folklore that are bound to exist. Keep up the great work looking forward to seeing you're next show Alan (Ireland)
