Lol... I was explaining something about one of your videos to my wife. I watch several van lifers and was trying to figure out how to explain who I was talking about. So I said, "the one that doesn't do his dishes." And she knew.

A young guy, living in a van, alone, while documenting it, and doing all these adventures... And the van is already suuuper nice, look at how his spices is stored... I´m totally thinking the opposite. That he´s a very sofisticated young man. "Clean your Apron!" - He HAS one. Living in a VAN. I´m 35 and have never owned one in my life. I dont think people appreciate how hard it actually is to live in these types of unconventinal ways. How much energy and time and planning it takes to just maintain yourself. Your hygien, food, electrics, water. He cooks in a VAN that he built. Only people that has done that and been living in it for a couple years should be able to complain, and then they certainly wouldn´t. ' (I get that you weren´t critizing him. Your comment was great and fun. I just had to get in here :-))

Lol. He punched through that massive 4" berm of snow. 😂

Great episode! If you find yourself stuck in the snow, one tip is to disable the ESP/Traction Control feature. This function is designed to prevent your wheels from spinning too quickly, which may hinder your ability to gain traction. By turning off this feature, you can maximize the power to your tires, making it easier to get unstuck. Just remember to turn it back on once you are on the move again.

Wow I’m from here! I helped redesign the Angel Delgadillo exhibit! I did the layout for the walls, picked out the furniture, and other materials such as the carpet tiles!

Ryan, you should make a video where you talk about the things you like about your current van and what you would change if you made a new one. Like, would you change the layout or add a more permanent shower, stuff like that. It would be really interesting.

🎯Agreed!! Luv that idea👏🏽

Just a tip! If you ever find yourself in mud or snow and can’t get out front on! Try turning around and reversing out you will be very surprised how much better a FWD vehicle will do in snow when in reverse!

I love a sesame seed bun! I also love refried beans. I dip tortilla chips in them.

Ryan, get some really warm slippers. They’re basically carpet that moves around with you. No need for insulation on the floor. And down booties for sleeping. Your feet will be toasty warm. 😊

I met Angel in 2015 and he was cutting hair still. Saw a patch from a local sheriffs department on his wall. We drove from Oatman to Flagstaff and it was amazing. I will do the whole road when I retire. Loved it.

Your van always looks good. It is always stylish and not cluttered, like some others I have seen. So no harm in having some undone dishes in the sink. it's not like you leave them for extended periods of time. Also, it's better not to make a bed as soon as you get up in the morning -- bedding needs to air for a while.

The snow is soooo pretty! Thank you for sharing from Texas where it was 80 degrees today.

I really appreciate you putting up the degrees in Celsius the last couple of videos. It’s nice. And never mind people complaining about your dishes. It’s your house and you decide how to live in it. It’s real and it makes your videos you. Keep making them and I’ll keep watching.

Bro, I got real ocd and trust me your “mess” don’t bother me. People don’t understand the circumstances and that’s okay. You can’t please everyone so keep on keeping on big tooms! We appreciate your efforts and we are very blessed with your uploads. Stay safe, stay healthy and travel on!

It has to be kind of fun being stuck in a snow storm like this, you know you have days of diesel to keep you warm, you have food, I guess the major issue would be power I can't remember if he has solar or not but still in a snow storm probably not getting the best charge. But there is something kind of cozy about knowing you're just chilling in your van playing video games cooking cheeseburgers while chaos is happening outside lol

I'm in North Carolina. You just gave me my snow fix for another month!! I could tell you were super nervous, you did great!

I agree, you live in your van. So it looks lived in. Enjoy your videos.

You are the guy who got me into this vanlife thing on youtube. I cant stop watching vanlife campers now. Idk why but its so chill and relaxing and seeing places ill never get to see.

those window mounted classic air conditioners are actually really cool. It compresses it as it comes in using a cone shape and then expands back out on the other side to cool the air. It uses a very primative design feature that all air cons use now.

My dad had that same Studebaker growing up in New York back in the early ‘50s. He loved his cars and had some great ones.

Ryan that burger looked amazing. Get yourself a small air fryer and throw in some tots or fries . Although im not sure how much power they consume. Foresty Forest uses one all the time so I’d imagine not much. Safe Travels Amigo 👊

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the diesel heater is so delightful. You should probably have some kind of slippers in your van when the floor gets cold. Can't wait to see more of the route

I live in Edgewood, NM right off of Old 66. I absolutely adore living out here! I drive Old 66 to Albuquerque back & forth daily & am truly grateful for all the memories. :)

lol about the dishes! Learned overtime to do them as I go so as I’m standing there, I don’t waste time if I have a few things to wash I do it so when I’m done it’s not nearly as bad a pile. Just something I learned overtime. Also, I would just leave it till the next day when I was younger, but trust me if you stay ahead of it it’s a lot better. We totally understand though, if you don’t have water or something like that. You do you

This one is my favorite episode for some reason. I binge-watched most of your episodes. Great stuff.

I was sitting down to a juicy hatch green chile and provolone cheeseburger when I clicked play. Cheers, Ryan!

always love your vids Ryan and your clear description. learning about US roads, camp locations, towns, weather conditions & pro-master capability. making & enjoying that cheeseburger was good as well. from Australia.

I'm glad you made it out😮. Stay safe Ryan!

I suggest checking out Pontiac Illinois on your future Route 66 trip. Also as already mentioned a fluffy throw rug and slippers. You could also put toe warmer packets in the slippers when really cold. Thanks for the video!

ROUTE 66 GOES FROM CHICAGO IL TO CALIFORNIA. FULL LENGTH. OFF IT. DUDE 😎. DR RETZER GOD BLESS YOU ON YOUR TRAVELS.

Good to be prepared for cold harsh conditions if RV fails. I’d recommend when you park to always have an exit in mind with backing in versus pulling in. Thanks for sharing the experience. Cheers

Ryan, also check out Route 20. Longest highway in the USA. Goes from Boston to Oregon. You've driven portions for sure. Maybe a trek to New England for Fall Foliage again (not Salem). This time go to southern Vermont for the covered bridges and perhaps the town used for Beetlejuice ? They leave most of the props. It's really wild.

I used to drive a 2017 ProMaster every day for work and I LOVED that thing. It was mostly empty other than two 150 lb totes that I strapped down over the rear axle and man that thing would haul ass.

...."momentum".....We're glad you used instinct when meeting the icy pavement and not flying across to get stuck worse on the other side! Very cool, calm & collected! Cheers!

I hope to be driving that section of RT66 in September. Thanks for the preview 😊. You have done the best van build I’ve seen on KZread. Great job!

i LOVE HOW YOU ARE COOKING IN THE SNOW......

I’m going to sound like a mom here but go buy some slippers! LL Bean sells great fur lined slippers with a solid bottoms. Will keep your feet nice and warm.

😅😂 I was just saying that those dishes are not done again. 😂😅 Love your videos.

Love love RT 66. Went from beginning in CA. up to AZ. BE SURE toy hit Winslow AZ … ICONIC

Love watching you travel!!!

I have to say my memories went crazy with this video especially the car a/c that fit in the window! Some of my family had one of them and I must say, they did work although they just took the edge off the heat built up in the car! That highway berm did look a lot better than some of the residential ones I have had to navigate over the years but fortunately, living here in Mesa, I have not had that problem in many many years......thanks !

I handwash all my dishes immediately after cooking/eating. It's not hard, doesn't take a lot of time, and the excuse of not having a dishwasher is a lame one. Not having any water is a good excuse though 🤣

I always look for branches to put in front of my tires to drive over and get me going if necessary. I thought the SW was for snow birds in the winter. Not this year! 👍🏻🇺🇸🥩

Hey Ryan, the weather looks awful !!! We had a beautiful 82 degree day, I never expected to see this lol. Thank you for all the great content !!

I bought some new boxes and laid them on the floor for warmth. It did help. Love your channel!

Key to driving in snow is get it moving and dont stop till your on clean road.

The best burgers are the ones that, when you hold them to your mouth with both hands and take that first big bite, the grease runs down both wrists to your forearms and finally your elbows! Yum! 🤤

Yah! you got out! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us! I am doing solar and have a 3 pole/piece collapsable squeegee with an adjustable angle head painting attachment...2 different items...put together from hard ware store....i use to clear off my solar panels on top my shed, works great and is light weight and small to store about 3 foot long collapsed....maybe that would help you

I remember those Burma Shave signs as a kid, coming west to California in the 1960’s! 🌺 After migrating to SoCal, we now live ~ 2 miles from 66. Great history of the road.

Loved this one. I’m in Mesa AZ, and have been to many of the areas that you’ve visited in AZ. I haven’t done my research on the history though, so it’s great to learn new things about those areas. Always love your videos! We need an update on the Japanese van!

Ryan…You probably already heard this, but in the case that you can’t find chains and traction boards, get yourself a couple of two by fours and some kitty litter…and make sure that you have a shovel all the time with you. It would’ve saved you a lot of headache that day. Take care and safe journeys my friend.

sick video man! I have a protester as well and we got stuck with just barely any snow just started spinning. on the way to get new winter tires also. keep it up!

I love how real the journey is bro. Never change. You're out there killing it

Lowering your tire pressure is also great for offroading or when there is lots of snow.

So excited you are doing route 66. Looking forward to it.

If you invest in a pair of Gore-Tex lined boots, you will not need any wool socks impact you can wear a thin wrist sock in them and be toasty all winter long. The boots are also waterproof. And the summertime they will keep your feet cool as well. The military has a contract to use Gore-Tex lined boots. Many police officers wear Gore-Tex Lined boots also. They are very light weight too.

Love cracker barrel! Great for Nomads! ❤ I love the powerhouse and rt 66 museum and the electric car museum. Go over to the mohave museum too it's great

It’s funny you mention about moving from Ca traveling Route 66. My brother wrote a song 🎶 about our family driving Route 66 in search of better life we moved to Ca from Kansas in 1960.

Dang, That looks so good!

I remember, as a kid. Travelling cross country in our 56 Ford, having that window air conditioner. Mom smoked so much that all my brother and I experienced is a little bit of circulating air with cigarette smoke. Not ever pleasant but better than stale air. I forgot about that! And, yep, we drive 66 in the 50s. Great video and loved your hamburger!!

I've seen a lot of van life channels...this is one of the best I've seen... great channel...respect

I really like this one! Snow, food & shelter on the road just living life bro.

Throw your dishes away and start over! 😁 Just saw this video better late than never! Your awesome! You're an interesting young man.

I had an interview question that was, “Where was the cheeseburger invented?” You are correct, it was Louisville, Kentucky. I used to live in that neighborhood where he lived. That neighborhood is also home to the twins that wrote Happy Birthday, the DuPonts, and a bunch of other bizarre historical people and it’s haunted. Old Louisville. I believe that the Southern Expedition, or Great Expedition, Thomas Edison lit up the most lightbulbs at one time. He also has a crib there, but not in Old Louisville. I could go on and on, but if you ever plan to go to that joint, hit me up, and I can tell you all sorts of historical facts; especially about the graveyard!

So cheap insurance to avoid getting stuck again, buy chains for your rear tires. You can put them on to get out of a parking lot like that. Once out and on plowed roads, pull over and take them off.

I watched this the other day and got a craving for a good homemade burger. Followed exactly what you did and it was amazing, simple but so delicious.

Ryan glad you got out of there. Snow is difficult to navigate😊

Wow!!! Loved it!! I have done Route 66 from Santa Monica to Kingman

If you ever come thru Route 66 - Springfield, IL the Cozy Dog Drive in created the corn dog and was inspiration for the Cozy Cone Motel in the movie cars. Would love to see you come thru and make corn dogs in the van

Really enjoy watching your videos thanks for sharing your adventures 😊

Why don’t you get a thick plush rug for your van. Seems it would add an extra layer between the hard bottom and add warmth. Cheap, easy and throw it out if it’s too dirty.

If you added a thick cushy rug, you wouldn't notice the cold floor as much.

Oh yeah Winter Van Life…and “Keeping it Real”. Love all the day in the life routine along with the ending suspense😅

that old cars AC just gave me an idea. No way! That thing will spin a turbine, so you could use it generate energy. It would spin just like a windmill!!
