If you're ever stranded in deep snow, make sure you clear a path from your exhaust pipe to allow the exhaust to reach open air before you run your car to stay warm. You cannot smell carbon monoxide and if the path is blocked by deep snow that gas will enter your car and kill you. That exact thing happened a few years ago when a group of twenty something's were stranded at a ski resort and fell asleep in the car with the heater going. Unfortunately not one of them woke up. The car, and the exhaust pipe were buried under deep snow.

I see a semi, I pray a fence of angels around them.

Its not only with snow, I do much car travel during my holidays, and already took my "rather-not-so-offroad-capable" BMW on some sketchy roads here there (not intentionally i am always careful, but you rely on the GPS in unknown areas and sometimes it happens) One time this was in eastern europe, in some woods at night with proper blair witch feeling, and the road kept getting worse. Then its not the question will I make it out without the embarassment needing roadside assistance but - "who and if will come for assistance around here if I called ?" 😂 - sure was a adrenaline trip until finding the way out. Even in western europe, travel can be "adventurous" I was chilling on some Highway resting area as feeling tired, when a police man suddenly appeared, knocked on the window and asked me to continue "for my own safety". So I am less afraid of the nature, rather of the weirdos running around.

Have done that trip solo twice. And I’m British🇬🇧so completely out of my depth you’d imagine 🤣Am always prepared & travelling as a lone woman am always super aware of my surroundings & keep in regular contact with home. What an adventure. Love this vid ❄️

we lived in Canada and we had some strikt rules for the winter:among other things, never leave the house without a full tank of gas,chains, extra warm cloths, water and hot water in a thermos and a cooler with food. It served us well in many different ways.

I did that for 4 years in the colorado rockies. Loved every minute of it. Storms gave me a chance to rest, to sit in one spot for a couple days, and I enjoyed shoveling the snow. Alot, I made paths and stairs for fun. I made snow shelters for my generator, and I had propane , internet, and dvds. So all was lovely, 75-80 degrees in the van😊And I skied most every day, so I was thankful for those rests..

part of the thrill is seeing how much snow can pile on.

Words of advice, you can tarp your windshield when it’s snowing like that so all you have to do when you wake up is pull the tarp off with all the accumulated snow. So you dont have to shovel everything off.

Nature's sounds have a therapeutic quality that soothes the soul and calms the mind. Whether it's the rhythmic crashing of ocean waves or the distant call of a lone wolf, each sound carries with it a sense of peace and grounding

Was about to just say it, never turn your front wheels before you actually move, especially in snow. While van is not truck it's much havier then regular car, beside making it a lot harder to move in snow even on dry pavement turning in place puts heavy strain on everything that's connected to front wheels, in have vehicle it can even ruin front tires. Always move first then turn if you drive anything other then passenger car.

Won't even lie. At a lot of angles you show in the van. I can't even tell it's inside a van. It is such a cozy homey setup and I love it. I'd probably end up watching the snow build up from the driver's seat

This video has gotten almost 6 million views because he is doing what almost none of us would dare to try. We no longer get snowy winters in Connecticut so I won't be replicating this adventure any time soon. I do wonder if most of the viewers are in Florida.

You are lucky to find a RR open, here in Maine our Governor & the Highway Department think that all the travelers should plug their lower orifices. Today it is November 3, 2023, the highway department has taken down the Rest Stop Signs & Boarded the RR (they did it on October 3rd). Real snow is months away but that does not matter to the Guardians of the Rest Stops. By the way how do you keep the cooking smell out, in my house the kitchen, dinning area & the living space is 25'x25', any heavy duty cooking is always done before 1.00 pm, exhaust fan runs & the bed rooms and bath room doors are kept closed during cooking. I would not like to take a shower & dry myself with a fish smelling towel.

Impressed at the fact you were prepared with the chains, knew how to use them, and made a point to mention you'd clear the roof before driving the main road. Great setup, great editing, cool drone work. Subscribed for more!

Waterfall in that frozen landscape was like a revelation - the sound of the cataract haunted me like a passion (Coleridge?). This film is one of the reasons why KZread is replacing television in many people's lives. A daring and enterprising man,

I remember going up to a ski mountain a couple months ago. I started to walk towards my car at the end (since there was a snow storm and the mountain was closing) and the wind was so strong I could feel my body being forced to walk at an angle, and since there was no barrier or protection at the edge of the mountain, I was so scared. I stood behind a small house (with some other random people) and tried waiting for the wind to slow down, but it never did. So, I decided to start walking slowly to my car and when I was close enough, I used my phone to open my door and quickly ran to the drivers seat. My heart was beating so fast because I could have been blown away and could have had by life taken away from me.

Try Mac & cheese, the kind you boil that comes with the squeeze cheese in the foil bag. Also a can of chicken white meat is best. Cook Mac & cheese as directed, drain pasta add 1-2 table spoons butter or margarine & mix in cheese. If you have a microwave get a bag of mixed veggies from the frozen section. Get the microwavable steam kind. Nuke as directed & add everything to pot. It's so good. I call it chicken Mac🤗

The videography from 2:27 to 3:27 was phenomenal. You keep doing that and you'll go for!

I stole this phrase from another commenter on another video - I've been in exile in Florida for several years 😅 So thank you for posting this and letting me live vicariously through your winter wonderland adventure ❄️🌨🌲

I'm in the Florida panhandle. It's 68° here at midnight.

I try to plan one-pot meals. One of my fav is kiolbassa, crispy bacon, broccoli w/creamy cheese sauce. Crisp the bacon, and make your fav mac-n-cheese. Use half the macaroni and sub the other items. Then I parmesan cheese it into submission. Easy one pan. I use frozen mixed veggies once in a while. If you make to boxes but only use one box of macaroni you can add all types of stuff.

Migas are delicious! The leftovers re-heat well. You’ll want to Google a recipe, but it’s basically beating up some eggs to scramble, adding some crumbled up tortilla chips right away, then scrambling. They can be made with jalapeño or similar. They can be served up with beans, rice, and or potato’s of any variety, and rolled up in a hot flour tortilla to make a breakfast taco if you like. I like them best as a dinner, especially on a cold night.

It looks amazing. We were snowed in our campervan in Germany together. In the morning it looked beautiful on a lake close by .There was a bakery with an outdoor oven cooking scrumptious onion bread 😎 It was an amazing experience

You're living my dream life. The joy on your face expressing all the beauty around you is just priceless. Thank you for taking your time and uploading your content. Well needed during these crazy and weird times.

You know right now I’m working on a fanfiction graphic novel to practice with and it’s about how a group crashes in a massive storm and try to stay warm inside a pick up truck full of farm food. I was inspired by a massive snow collusion in 2021 on a highway. People were there all night but they were rescued and there were no deaths. I’ve been working on this small graphic novel for over a year now and I’m still working on it. You are a man with perseverance and positive thinking just like the character in my novel. Thank you for sharing this with us

I lived in Oregon from 93 to 97,was 23,had a blast.

I’m too scared to do half of what you do and I admire your positive attitude in everything thing you do….

Although beautiful, I cannot identify with winter/snowy/cold camping. Kudos to those who can do this. I will follow the Sun. ❤️

I am exactly the same ...Kudos to him but things can so quickly go wrong in places like that. Don't mind snow and cold but the added remoteness (or it looks remote) is something as a female solo van lifer I won't be doing anytime soon.

I'm feeling so sorry to see you living life all alone. I can actually feel it because living alone is not fun at all.and I literally understand what you are going throw but trying to bring smile on lips

With winter approaching this is just the time to watch this epic video.

That waterfall is so breathtaking!!!!!

What beautiful snowy views you shared. The waterfall with all the snow on the trees absolutely amazing to see.

You could do with a small wind turbine generator big enough to power an electric blanket to keep you cozy and warm without having to use battery power

What a fantastic scene! I love winter!!❤😃👍👍♥️

Surprised due to his energy. Very humble and seems like a great friend to connect with

I don’t know how I got here but I had severe anxiety watching this thinking what if you get stuck or what if a crazy axe murderer was lurking around! 😂 Despite that I actually really enjoyed watching you and learning about van life so ill be subscribing to binge watch more!

That waterfall shot was iconic! So beautiful! I just found your channel and I am really enjoying all of your videos. I can't physically "get out and do" anymore, so I live vicariously through my favorite You Tubers. Cheers from an old grandmother in Oklahoma!

For sure you need to make ramen. Not Maruchan, but real ramen with chicken,and scallions, sesame oil, etc. it’s my favorite meal!

I would love to do this one day. Traveling is something I think we all love to do, and it would be nice to go wherever and not really have to worry about having a place to stay ❤️Love it!

You know how many people would have just stayed and enjoyed the quiet from the snowfall just dropping down on your back and just chilling there with all the fresh snow 🌨️ being a sound insulator

Love all that snow and your salmon looks delicious take care ❤

Awesome, I'd love that

Watching this video, I became immersed in the extreme adventure of van survival during a winter storm. It was truly amazing to see them stay calm and maintain positive energy despite the harsh cold and snow storms. Unfortunately, there is no bathroom in the van. It was such a cool video. We support you from Korea.

That's why it's always good to have survival kits inside your car not only towards but water candles matches etc and an extra battery and cell phone and these things should be in your car every time you're going to take a trip or vacation because you never know what can happen you always have to be ready especially if you have children

love the look of the mountains covered in snow and no better mountains than the Cascades.

@10:55 your van looks like it has a face like the vehicles in Lightning McQueen 😂

Don’t forget to make sure ur exhaust pipe doesn’t get buried by snow. And don’t use a white van. Fluorescent Orange would be better. I would’ve put the snow chained on the day before when you first parked. And you could’ve shovels the top just bit b4 taking off

This is my dream! We grew up going snow hiking. People thought we were nuts! But it is an experience like no other. With the salmon you throw a little bit of salmon seasoning from Costco it is killer. It has just a touch of dill in it. Masks any "fishy" taste. Keep living our dreams!

This is the 3rd day this Winter season so far that my boss called me and told me to stay home due to the weather and roads.....in Wyoming The thick snow all over the woods and roads looks absolutely beautiful if you're on recreational........ But can be absolutely rough when you have to work in it....

Wyoming getting slammed to! Be there in a couple days

It's pretty of course snow covered isolated untouched places are beautiful but give me a warm sunny day with lots of green and water everywhere As much as I love camping I am a beach girl and again I love the woods but camping on the beach is heaven on Earth

I love your van and the style you arranged the interior. I am looking for some options to make my new Van transporter more enjoyable, thanks for the ideas and keep going, I will follow you from now on. Greetings from Mexico.

Offroad in the winter I ALWAYS carry a "PERSONAL LOCATION BEACON" with me along with a set of Studded Tire Chains.

Nice van! Great scenery shots! The waterfall against the snowy background…. Amazing!
