Down here in Baja Mexico, we found ourselves on the beaches of Bahía de Los Ángeles for some van life exploring and fun before making our way to the Pacific Ocean side of Baja.

Always a good day when Chad posts a video!👍🏻😎
so, once every few months? sounds about right, for me lol!
I remember my dad saying if I didn’t shape up I’d end up living in a van. Now as an adult I wish I lived in a van.
Hahaha! There are the preferable and maybe not so preferable reasons to live in a van.
Welcome back Chad! Missed your updates and beautiful scenery, hope you're doing well! 🚐
I’ve been traveling this summer and fall throughout the Southwest. Time for a creative break. I’m back now and working on editing the numerous episodes I’ve filmed, ready in the can. Stay tuned!
I love the comments telling you how to shoot YOUR videos! Keep doing you.
Right?!!!!!
So glad you’re back Chad. I really missed you! How about listing some of your recipes on your website? I camp a lot with my wife but we never really prepare meals as you do. The manner which you do so is almost ceremonial. I can see how it can add a great deal to the overall experience, especially where you drink whiskey around the campfire. And by the way, your cinema photography is the best I’ve seen on CZcams.
Great suggestion, Michael. Let me see what I can get done this winter- Thanks for watching!
Eldad - good to see you on an adventure with Chad! Beautiful scenery.
Thank you for uploading another awesome video sir, your videos are always a real pleasure to watch!!!
Thank you!
Glad your back. I'm partial to your winter survival videos. Hope you've had enough sun.
Nice to see u back Chad been waiting for this, love ur content!
Thank you!
CHAD!!!It's so nice to see you again on CZcams!!!
Amazing scenery! The locals seems so nice, the food yummy too! This baja series was entertaining. Looking forward to some foresty Fall foliage scenery and some snowy landscapes right around the corner!
Absolutely! Thanks, glad you've enjoyed them. I’ve been traveling this summer and fall throughout the Southwest. Time for a creative break. I’m back now and working on editing the numerous episodes I’ve filmed, ready in the can. Stay tuned!
We stopped and had lunch at the very same restaurant off of the highway, 2 years ago. Cool place.
Welcome back 😊 chad. I really miss for overland and feel a new trip with delicious foods
Chad, Buddy I was just thinking of you the other day, wondering what happened to you & voila, here you are with this awesome post!!
Great video, and food!! Good to see you again, looking so well & happy!
Thank you for sharing Baja with us !
Until next time, Happy Trails!
😊🙏🏻
I’ve been traveling this summer and fall throughout the Southwest. Time for a creative break. I’m back now and working on editing the numerous episodes I’ve filmed, ready in the can. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
Its amazing how lines on a map can create such crazy socioeconomic divides. Love seeing this stuff.
It is eyeopening- Thanks for watching!
Great video. Not everyone is gonna love the content mix all the time, who cares? It made me feel like I had a getaway adventure. Superb job editing, sound, scenery, etc. Enjoyed it.
Thanks for the appreciation, Chris! Cheers!
Chad good to know you’re still around 😂❤
Keep doing the good work Chad. Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥️.
Thanks for watching!
Glad your back,Chad...Stay safe & happy travels✌✌✌
Very impressed with the level of gear you have for every task. My favorite is the bacon and meat poker. Never seen that one before, but now seeing it realize I need one!
Thanks, Wesley! Yep, same I felt when I saw someone else using those utensils. They're awesome!
This guy is actually living my life. I'll be building my own van come 2023. 🙏
Wow, what an awesome trip! Thanks for taking us along. I have no desire to go there and will live vicariously through you Chad 😁
Really enjoyed this video of your trip to Baja. I would love to visit. Seeing the authentic food, the people, vegetation, landscape & sea. Gas sold on the side of the road by locals..wow! Thanks for taking us with you guys…I love it!
How did I miss this the day it came out!? Work keeps me close this time of year, so it’s awesome to live somewhat vicariously through LTVL. Your work is appreciated! 🍻
such a great episode. I really enjoyed watching your experience with vendors and markets. true meaning of Mexican culture.
Chad I am glad you're back. Missed ya.
Hell yes. I’ve been waiting too long. One of my favorite channels, I would love to have seen more build vids like the previous ones. Keep it up man 🤙🏽
Hey, thanks for the support, Corey- I’ve been traveling this summer and fall throughout the Southwest. Time for a creative break. I’m back now and working on editing the numerous episodes I’ve filmed, ready in the can. Stay tuned!
What a great trip! Thank you for this amazing video guys!
🔥🔥🔥 episode Chad, and stellar cinematography brotha 👊🏼😎🤙🏼!! 🍻Cheer’s….Keep on Truckin 🫵🏻🫡
Thanks, Mike!
After so many days! Happy to see you back
About time!!! Been an age since our last update.
Welcome back chad hope you’re doing well!!!!!
Welcome back Chad. Your videos are always class.
welcome back!! keep em coming! I enjoy your content!! looking forward to watching the full documentary on the drive to the arctic
Thanks for watching!
Chad, have you considered selling your design to mass production van builders? Your design brings outdoor life van life. I don't know of any other manufacturer that does that to this level and I don't understand why they don't.
Awesome video as always. One day I'll have to plan a trip to Baja. Put it on the bucket list. Keep on trucking Chad. Thanks for reading my comments.
Thanks, Christopher- Yeah, Baja is truly a unique experience. Lots of driving, but I've really enjoyed my time down there. Thanks for watching!
well done Chad for helping your fellow road warrior in need with a lift
Chad your videos are on another level. you've inspired me to get a sprinter now! from Melbourne Australia
Right on! Enjoy-
Thanks chad for dropping the video. Can’t wait for the videos of camping in the ⛄️ ❄️ ❤️
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Welcome back mate, missed ya, super video! And love the build, super.
Thanks, Karel!
I thought he had quit doing this hadn't heard from him in so long. Liked it much better with the old van
same here this here just made my day LTVL
Congratulations.
3 sentences.
1 punctuation mark.
Really? Yup. ⚘
Chad’s old videos were definitely more entertaining as the struggle really helped define his channel. He’s just another guy in a sprinter van now unfortunately.
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 Really? There are so many, much more egregious grammar mistakes on the internet, and you picked out, more or less, an innocent one that doesn't bother much? Why not go get on the people who say should of would of could of, or the your/you're or their/theyre/there crowd? You're concerned about a lack of punctuation when its not even a run on or anything, who cares dude
@@BusterMachineX We all have our own struggles, regardless of success. Some of us prefer to focus on our achievements and the road we've paved for ourselves, others choose to focus on their inability. I believe the channel is now defined by Chad's travels, the reliable and comfortable home he's created in his van, his cinematography, his editing capabilities and enjoying the successes he's created for himself. Just because he chooses not to share his sacrifices, front and center, does not mean they're not real. Personally, I don't see just another guy living in his van because I don't see the quality of content being produced on this channel on just any van channel. People grow, learn to grow with them.
Bien venidos a mexico, gracias por el video ,saludos
CHADS IN THE HOUSE !! CHAD I've been trying to watch your video for 2 days!! Work ...I live your cooking! recipes quite some rocks your van went up n down on That doughnut 🍩 😋 Safe travels bach Home!
Damn you're a great filmmaker man! Camera work, editing, music all superb, and a great adventure with your buddy as well. I suspect the cantina lady was an actress, though - she was too perfect to be real! 😁 Thanks Chad, I always enjoy your vids, truly top class work.
Wow, thanks for the kind words and appreciation!
It's been a while Chad I'm happy to see you.
Hi Chad ! Great to see you and Eldod on an adventure 😀 looking forward to some winter content....as always, your photography is off the charts FANTASTIC !! Safe travels my friend...
Cheers!
Hey Chad greetings from Sicily, Italy. Like always a great video. Awesome entertainment. Keep on trucking … 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 awesome 😎 LTVL 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hey all the way from Sicily 👊🏼😎🤙🏼!! Cheers from California 🇺🇸🍻
Keep on trucking, Wolfgang! Thanks for watching!
Another classic! Missed you guys.
Gee it’s great seeing Chad again been watching him for years but he doesn’t seem to make videos as often these day.
I’ve been traveling this summer and fall throughout the Southwest. Time for a creative break. I’m back now and working on editing the numerous episodes I’ve filmed, ready in the can. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
The legend, L dog in the house! Haha. Great video man!
So good to see good friends like Chad & Eldad enjoying the good life down south of the border…down Baja way!! “Viajes Seguros” (“Safe Travels”). ~ ~ ~ ~ “Ol’ Scooter” from down in East Texas
Yep! Always great to have Eldad join me when he's able to breakaway from his 8-5. Good to see you, Scooter! Thanks for watching!
We need a winter camp video 😁👍🏻
I’m not sure where at in the world YOU are… but there has not been any winter here for the past 8 months. Not sure what you expect me to do here.
I forgot to ask, are you gonna do an Alaska series someday? That would be cool!!
No. I don’t have any interest in Alaska. Except driving to Prudo Bay in the middle of winter. That’s about it.
Good to see you back ! What have you been upto these past months ? 😎🤙
I’ve been traveling this summer and fall throughout the Southwest. Time for a creative break. I’m back now and working on editing the numerous episodes I’ve filmed, ready in the can. Stay tuned!
we missed ur footage , its been too long without a ltvl video , keep enjoying chad. we enjoy seeing u .
greeting from belgium ;p
Thanks for watching, Jonas! I’ve been traveling this summer and fall throughout the Southwest. Time for a creative break. I’m back now and working on editing the numerous episodes I’ve filmed, ready in the can. Stay tuned!
Chad you're the first van Life channel I ever watched really, very intriguing my father had a history of collecting in reselling Volkswagens for my whole life as a kid, so always dig Finnegan's knowing that they are really pieces of s***, except there's some really good engineering there. And when I saw your old unit dude, my eyes lit up he put a good motor in a really cool platform and is doing rad s***! Keep up the good work your cinematography is exquisite and really better than anything on Discovery or history, cuz they are a joke now. You've come a long way that I'm really stoked for your progress and get inspiration for keeping on. Not in a place in my life too proceed with nomadic but it will come eventually probably when I retire in 10 years or so, but can dabble and prepare between now and then and be halfway decent nomad by the time I get there... You didn't have to show those green friendly wipes between your cooking process dude! Come on LOL, I spent time in Washington I know how you get s*** done bro logic man basic premise f*** all this woke b*******!, Fjb! Keep it real I'll keep watching until everybody how good you are bro!
Hey, thanks for supporting the channel and the kind words. Yep, we've had a few of the older VW's in the family, always fun. Thanks for watching- Cheers!
Wohoo best day when got a youtube notification for LTVL😍
You do a great job of mixing up the content and keeping things fresh. From the Arctic down to Baja. Talk about covering some ground!
I'll be right over. Another great one. Thank you!!!
Love the Baja series, dude )). Mixing up the towns and wilderness is fun to watch.
Good to see you back on youtube. Just be careful down there!!!
missing the old vanagon
Love all this channel puts out. The colours in Mexico look incredible. I would love to know the name of the hotel where the guys stayed at with the big drinks and bigger tacos. Can't wait for the next one.
He's back!!!
Glad to see your videos back!
Sprinter is cool and all but we need a westfalia reunion tour

Completely another world. So amusing.
Looks so nice! Wish I was there 😞 thank you for your show 🙏
So that's 6 eggs, a pound of bacon, a pound of chorizo, and some tacos (not sure why, they are a bit insignificant). Boy have I been underfeeding myself at breakfast!!! Another great vid Chad!
Keep uploading chad, more power
Be good to see a reunion video with the old van!
Yeah, that would be totally fun. Would love to do that. She's tired and needs a good overhaul before much of any travel could be done.
