It's the connection to nature. Modern city living is killing our souls. Got to disconnect to reconnect!

A sweet little trick for those pesky mosquitos and flys. A bag of wood pellets the type doesn't matter. Then get citronella oil About 2 gallons worth per bag mix the oil with the pellets they will expand back into sawdust just mix up a 5 gallon bucket per batch add enough oil to a bucket to break up the pellets when at camp sprinkle the sawdust around the perimeter just throw out by the handfuls it drives those little pests out of camp for about 2 weeks then dissipates and is good for the enviroment as the oil dries up and the sawdust breaks down. 1 bucket lasts almost a year and I camp alot.

I also own an old VW Bus, I have been owing it for 18 years now. It was my first car and will be my last. Sometimes, I drove in the middle of nowhere or to a lake just to sit there and sleep in my van. I always thought, that I‘m a strange person because of that. But now „vanlife“ is a thing, but you can‘t just jump on it - it‘s a lifestyle, something you carry in you, something you gotta feel. Thank you for making this videos! I really feel with you.

Bill Clifton - oh okay. LOL. I'm sorry. LOL. My bad.

One thing I'd like to point out, even though Chad has a gun to 'protect himself'. The best protection you can buy is wilderness knowledge. Don't cook next to your camp site. Bad things can happen. Always store ANY scented item 50 feet or so away from your sleeping area in a bear proof container. If we respect them they will be around for our kids to see. If we act like John Wayne and cook and store food at our came site with a side arm well then bears and other animals will not be around for your kids generation. I'm not pointing any fingers but thought I'd just put it out here and if one person sees this and acts differently then it made my 2 mins of typing completely worth it. (Same goes for gutting fish or refuse piles from hunters)

Hey Chad, I once commented on one of your videos that I’m a city man. Living in Philadelphia, PA. I’ve been enjoying your outdoor life all summer long.. I’ve never experienced your mountain man life.. But when I do I will remember all the advice you have provided.. Especially the Dutch Oven, and all the other accessories you use to make it right for a well prepared vanogon life..

I feel like a creeper because I've commented on several of your videos....I promise I'm not one haha. I just love watching your videos....they're "predictable" NOT in a boring way....start off with gorgeous videography of amazing landscapes....then making kindling....building a lovely fire....then making an epic meal (THIS one blows my mind).....then fire- and star-gazing...then more videography/photography of the night sky, maybe with a mug of whiskey....all so SIMPLE, which I LOVE....and yes it's work but it's not mindless work. Kudos to you Chad. You've an inspiration for sure. P.S. I'll be trying this method of lasagne making once I'm a vanlifer (in 2021)....only difference is I'll make my own pasta as that's one luxury item I'm definitely taking with me, my pasta maker.
