A Cold Winter's Night - With my Favorite Soup - Living The Van Life
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 03. 2020
- A cold winter's night while living in a van - It was a rare clear sky night in the Pacific Northwest and the temperatures got down into the teens - well into subfreezing conditions - which always makes for a fun #vanlife adventure.
Nongshim sponsored this episode of Living The Van Life and I cook a wonderfully hearty Korean dish known as Budae Jjigae - also known as Korean Army Base Stew. I cooked this meal in an 8" Dutch Oven over a campfire for true Living The Van Life authenticity.

I am living my dream, sitting in the dark, watching your videos, vicariously through YOU! Couldnt ever do that myself due to unforeseen circumstances. Thanks for giving this experience to all of us!
Same here!!!
I know the feeling. Can't do it myself due to health reasons but Chad is such a great host i feel like I'm there with him.
I'm an old grandma but I can dream...
mas maganda pag nag ahit k ng balbas para ka nang ermitanyo bro.
@@jennellebello1321 keep warm
I don't think I've ever seen such a good advert for instant noodles. They spent their marketing budget damn well!
Can I tell you 😂😂😂😂😂
Those noodles looked so good!!! If it wasn’t so hot here in NZ right now I’d be cooking up large, got to wait for winter
Hey Chad , this looks like the life every guy dreams about at least some point in their life. Your adventures inspire me to explore...thanks again.
Damn son, you found heaven. Those shots you snap of the stars were beautiful. And view you woke up to was even better. Thanks for the video. Keep them coming.
The pictures of the night sky are phenomenal! Damn!
No chipping away some road blocks. But the yummy meal is still well deserved. It mean the camera work behind the scenes is unreal!
That pic of the van with the stars in the background would make an awesomes xmas card
Your videos are an inspiration. For a life that is desired but not lived by us. Keep posting. Cheers!!
Those pictures are amazing bro. You must feel like the luckiest man alive to be living the way you do. 👍
Dear Chad,
After a day long struggle with harsh reality of life, your videos are perfect bed time fairy tale for a grown-up like me. Thanks for these. If ever I get a chance in life I would like to go camping with you in those silent snow capped mountains bro. God bless you with great health and peace of mind ..
Love.
I felt the same!
Hi Mai bhi Indian hu
@@Emiverse001 Thik hai bhai
Same broooooooooooo
I'm so glad to see you eating Korean army stew. We call 부대찌개 in Korean.
You would need some rice because it's little salty. :)
I've been a depressive mode these days due to Corona19 prevailing in our country.
However, your videos make me relaxing and feeling good. Thank you so much!
휘동이 haha hey another Korean fan I thought I was the only one
Get better soon
@@minlee5376 Oh! nice to meet you. 반갑습니다.
@@romanramon4147 yeah. I hope so..
Alotta koreans on this channel 😄
Nothing would cheer me up more during all this madness than a new LTVL video. Hope u and ur family are healthy and doing well, Chad.
Love the quality of the video. The sounds are very clear. It’s magic ti my ears! Thank you
This is soooo relaxing looking at the fire and hearing the wood crackle.
@@wetgrowler499 maybe it was a radio or passers by ?
@@wetgrowler499 he showed in his "behind the scenes" video that he does it all himself. I've no idea and I don't know why he'd bother lying.
A nice piece of history accompanied the K Army Stew. Beautiful music and scenery. I liked this video, really peaceful relaxing. Thank you.
Between the scenery, the videography, the cooking, and the adventures, it's hard to decide what I like most.
This guy is such a cutie and just seems like a nice guy. I love the snow so beautiful!!
Chad, I think that this might be your best intro sequence ever... was trying to explain to my wife just how much work goes into collecting all that footage and then all the editing that comes after. Great effort and greatly appreciated you are definitely a workaholic! We are currently building an off-road camper here in New Zealand and we have ordered his-n-hers matching LTVL t-shirts for our first trip (tho it'll be a while away yet). Keep well and thanks for your commitment to your art!
Nik Andrew Nik Andrew ‘ordered his and her t-shirts for your first trip’ love this!! 🙌... the perfect addition to your first adventure! Enjoy! ☺️🚐⛰
@@anninavan5440 Hi Anne! Been waiting to watch your first trip on your channel but I gather you're pretty busy with other work right now. Keep well.
Mate! That’s so flipping cool! Thanks for being part of the channel! Love that you’re getting Thanks for watching!-shirts too. Can’t wait to see your camper come together.
Nik Andrew haha - I’ll leave that to the expert... Chad has the content well and truly covered! 😍 ... Yes absolutely busy with other work, but definitely hope to return visit for Vanagon adventures with Chad when time permits and I’m sure that means making an appearance somewhere along the way! Lucky for me I’m in his safe hands!!! 🙌 Best wishes for your pending travels! ☺️
Nik Andrew I was thinking the same thing!
I sure am glad that your van is going again, that Uhaul looked like you were camping in a walk in freezer...
😂😂
Fire N Rosez LOL
I thought it was a good practice to see what you can achieve even if it’s a rental van. Keep up the good freezing cold work 😂👍🏻
I thought it was an old unreleased video before the van broke down. And it's only now that he uploaded it. You know kinda like what those tv shows do where they shoot episodes in advance before airing them gradually one by one. A lot of CZcamsrs do the same thing.
PRIME nope... the Uhaul adventure happened a few days before this Cold Winter Night video...
I just can't get over the stunning high quality of this footage. Glad I found this channel .
Aye amen
I love the fact this is filmed in 24fps. it really lends a dreamy feel to the video
Chad's notification pops up on the phone, instantly stop what you're doing, make a brew, find a comfy seat aaand watch. Good seeing the westy back on the adventures 👍 Epic as always Chad
Why the hell would anyone give this video a thumbs down? These videos are great to watch especially in times like these!
The meals you make look so yummy! I love the sound of those snowshoes crunching and grinding underfoot. Ambient sounds are always better than back country. Fantastic star display. Beautiful scenery. Love watching the winter camping. Thank you for sharing these experiences!! Drive safe. Keep safe. God bless you on your next adventure.😘
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the cinematics...
I know gorgeous! and love the sound of storms.
He's a freaking professional
How you do it? Your film is wonderfull! How?!!!
Newbie who's impressed.
Ok 10 mins silence starting noww
Damn the first minutes with the drone and the music are absolutly amazing...the entire video is amazing thank you
Thank you for posting this video. I'm a welder and I probably spend over two-thirds of my life outside, it was 109° today I'm telling you I needed to watch this.
I watched this whole video and then right around 24 minutes you took my breath away!! Oh my God what an amazing miracle to see such a sight!! Thank you so much for sharing that!! ✨⭐💛
The best cinematography to date. Congratulations.
i really liked the drone footage with the cordinated music also loved the star photos to. i try not miss any of your vids.
Love the cinimatography and great story telling. Beautiful country out there.
Chad, your vids are second to none for the content you create. And as a Canadian living just over the line from you, I really appreciate the F/C conversion. Respect.
The editing on these videos is next level my man... Well done. Can't wait to watch more!
I really liked the long shot when you were sitting by the fire and sipping your whisky. great shot!
Agreed
Thank you for Reminding me of kimchi soup 🍲. It is really good . Ready to cook now.
I agree
Damn, this man knows what he's doing. Those angles are so on point, and the astrophotography as well. Keep it up, Chad!
P.S im so jealous because we never gonna experience that kind of living here in the Philippines. Man, i love snow haha.
This is so satisfying and relaxing watching this near a fireplace in my home makes it more ASMR
Love the parts when its just the sounds of you and nature. The crunch of the snow, wind, etc. Soooo peaceful!! Don't get me wrong, talking is great too!
Watching this from the UK while cleaning out the hairs from my hoover Brush..... How different our lives are.
No kidding
No kidding
Get a tent, head out to a forest, bring your brush and film yourself cleaning it. You now have an entirely new and unique genre of solo camping videos
@@michaelsnyder6922 so instead of extreme ironing extreme brush and broom cleaning has now been invented (if it hadn't already been, that is!)
Hi
"go on a stroll,... sip some whiskey, and go check out some stars...."
I love you man. :D
Never change.
Jack & coke for me and some of that delicious Korean stew and some good music would keep me toasty warm!!!
When I saw those photos.. my jaw dropped. Amazing content, amazing videos, photos... Would love to rent a van like that and just go wild for a week or two
Soda bread and pizzas in a Dutch oven while camping is the way to go.
And now I'm hungry!
I got a warm cozy chill/feeling when you were in the van at night
Think I have watched this video about four times, over a period of time love it.
In such a crappy year as this I’m glad I have a channel that brings me so much happiness. It makes me forget about everything for half an hour.
I'm saving this episode for the weekend, while sipping some whisky
I just found you on CZcams a few days ago. I love what your doing bro! The quality of your videos is impeccable. Excellent job. Well done. I really enjoy watching anytime, but especially right before bed just chilling watching you go do all the things you do!
I appreciate the manly large bowl and the nice fire stove.
Love your videos keep up the great content on living the van life! Stay safe and god bless
Love the music and drone shots at the end, perfect match! The search starts for the stew in the UK. Keep em coming Chad👍
This was the most ASMR video you have ever made dude! The whole start of this video had me mega relaxed! Love your channel!
What does ASMR mean?
It's funny I watch survival and Bushcraft videos because of the content and I'm an avid outdoorsmen, but I always notice most videos share the same- light on the talking heavy on the footsteps in snow and sounds of cooking over a campfire- vibe 😂. I guess they all realized it's really relaxing lol, also sort of hard to talk when your building a shelter or making dinner over a fire on a mountain
@@sarahharris5151 Google darling Google lol, but basically the sensation of detailed and satisfying sounds and the pleasant sensation of relaxation, euphoria etc that gives some ppl... Such as someone silently walking through snow in snow boots in high sound quality
I can only imagine how peaceful it is there and how quiet. No hustle and bustle, no other people, just yourself, your own thoughts, and the ambience of the environment around you.
How does this not have a Million Views yet? This was the random video that got me interested in Vanlife Months ago before I even really knew it was a thing!
hose still shots of the sky and your camp were OUTSTANDING !
Until I can quit my job and live on the road, I'll live vicariously thru your videos
Hi! Chad thanks for an amazing winter van camping video.. That army stew look very tasty.. You are a best camping chef.
I'm Alex from Chicago. I've been following all your post's as far as I can remember. You're an inspiration in my life and watching your videos is very therapeutic to my soul as im disabled but I feel I'm writing shotgun along your journey. Thank you for all you do in the pursuit of perseverance and finding of self.
You know you're a good content creator when you can get people to watch a 30 min video about ramen noodles :D Awesome outro btw, man I love Mount Shuksan in the winter!
Funny, because I just had watched Taku at Outdoor Chefs Life. Anyway, I just got schooled that ramen should be Cooked and drained to rinse away starches. Guess I was studying in a way - lost in space.
The stunning photo's were Amazing, and the Beautiful scenery.
I grew up in Bellingham, Washington, about 50 miles away from where he is, and I have only been to Mt Baker about 4 times...Oh and I forgot to mention that I am 63 years young! I was born at Nugents corner on Highway 9, just below Mt Baker!
Look how much wood you're wasting to cook noodles
@@monoburgos9913 You are one mean human. It was to keep warm too. If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all. 🤦♀️
That stew looked delicious, you’re living the life I want to live. Rock on brother!!
Those pics of the stars were amazing. That korean army camp soup looked bomb I'm definitely gonna have to try it
Love watching your videos so relaxing and your food super delicious thanks Chad totally appreciate you
Is it me or just hearing the sound of this vid starting out made me want to go camping??
Hi Chad,
Enjoyed your winter camping Van life.
We lived in BC for 35 years and have been to Mount Baker,
Wenatchee & the beautiful german town of Leavenworth in Washington.
We had an 88 VW Westfalia and truly the best camper van...only is the original vw boxer engine lacks power and unreliable.
Do you have a van conversion engine on your syncro or is yours stock vw engine?
We sold our Westfalia when we moved to Toronto.
Watching you reminds us of our memorable camping days. Take care and keep on camping. Live your videos.
Gerry
I would actually pay to go camping with Chad some night! Haha he seems like the most down to earth and chill guy ever! Would love to have a beer with him 🍻
There are very few things on this earth that are better than camping in the snow and eating piping hot food cozily sitting inside a van...👍👍👍🙂
This is what i call living!!
And we could all do this, Just do it! That's it 🏞️🏕️🚐🍀💯
Livin’ vicariously through Chad’s Van life.
Also, yeah, Top Ramen has NOTHING on Korean ramen such as Nong Shim's tried and true OG Shin Ramen! I love the Neoguri and Chapagetti also. There's also Jin Ramen and Samyang ramen. :) Korea represent!
So true!
Guess I’ll have to check a Asian food store for the ones you mentioned because Amazon is expensive as hell!
If you can handle it, Buldak ramen is where it's at!
You are so brave taking d stroll in that dark night and only by yourself!! And sitting by d fire 🔥 drinking whiskey 🥃 was phenomenal!! I love it for a long conversation with a buddy till fire dies out!!! Btw AWESOME 👏🏻 FOOD 🥘! I love the dinners you cook Man !! You are awesome 😎
I really enjoy watching your videos. Although I can’t actually travel out west, you make me feel like I’m there experiencing this trip in the first person.
AMAZING photos. The stew sounds yummy, even at home.
Chad, I always enjoy your videos. I am homebound due to disability, so I get my nature fix vicariously thru folks like you. But this was BY FAR MY FAVORITE that you have done! I truly felt like I was there with you enjoying the stew, the stars, and the whiskey. THANK YOU! 😊👍
Hi Chad. You almost had me thinking you were going to start that fire with firesteel, until I saw the Tinder/ kindling going into the log cabin and the cotton balls came out. I've been watching you since 2012. Before all the others. I like your filming detail in the beginning work the drone footage.
Now that's called a content. You make to watch without forward a single second. Thanks buddy love from INDIA 🇮🇳
I just want to say, I vibed to the first minutes of music really really good
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
I agree. Any idea who it is?
Yes, he is always a pro on his choice of music. Glad you appreciate it too.
@@LivingTheVanLife Name of that music?
부대찌개를 여기서 볼 줄이야...so glad to find your channel!
Wow as a Korean was a lovely surprise!
Would recommend adding the noodles at the last stage if you prefer a more stringy noodle! If you prefer more soft mushy noodle texture you can add in earlier
What a beautiful place you traveled! I am going to have soup for dinner tonight now! Here in Arizona we eat chicken tortilla soup but I would gladly try yours! Thanks for sharing your amazing journey! Snow heaven!
Man I wish I could live that life. It's just so free and beautiful.
Zachary Stewart why can you ? It’s a free country
I moved out to the Rockies to do just this.. Snowy conditions only an hour from my place probably 9/12 months of the year at least. Live where you love.
Well I just don't have the funds to buy land to be honest or I would. If I could get some land I'd definitely work to maintain it.
It's not free the food the gas
Me too
I just watched a 30 minute raman commercial...
The man’s gotta make a living, and still delivers with his stellar photography, plus it’s actually quite a good instant noodle.
Indeed. It was a bit overboard for Spam and instant noodles.
But you loved it

Ning shim rocks my world whenever we go backpacking because it’s delicious and comforting! Now my friends are addicted as well!
The sound of nature is awesome, I love the semi-silent clips
Thank you for sharing this,sir. Beautiful photography.
Yummy budae jigae, usually we throw in couple of amercain cheese,eggs,for extra flavour n smoothness. ,some steam rice.
U stay safe !
Makes me feel fresh when ever i see u r videos....... Love the way u cook...... & u r van is awesome man..... 👍🏻 ...... Keep uploading .....from 🇮🇳
Awesome video, buddy. I had the 부대 찌게 when I was stationed in Korea. I only had it once but Delicious. There were too many other delicious Korean dishes to try. One of my favorite Korean stew is 된장찌개 Soy Bean paste stew with Dubu (Korean Tofu). Koreans put generous amount of garlic, onions, and they can be served with Korean Galbi (Ribs) or Bulgogi (Firemeat - Grilled Korean barbecue beef). Top it off with Kimchi, of course. I also like kimchi stew. All great hearty meals especially in the cold winter.
I appreciate you sir thank you for doing what you do. Your positive outlook and ability to find happyness any where you look is somthing to be admired. Also i always learn somthing from a video of yours. Thank you
Love your channel, truly nature is beautiful if we learn to appreciate it. It is my dream to explore nature like you do, with just a van away from all the madness of this world. Thanks for your videos and take care!
Ramen noodles and hot dogs after my divorce that’s all I could afford for a good year. That’s good stuff brother!
God bless you
God bless you
Just curious, do hot dogs take a toll on the body after eating them for months?
Learn to code
Just learn to cook indian style foods not fancy indian food but just the normal ones u will be saving a fortune
The notification just popped up,I always look forward to your vids bud 😁
First of all I want to thank you for your scenery videos - just so beautiful. I use to work in Yellowstone during the wintertime. Your winter videos bring back memories. Thank you ao much for sharing. Please stay safe and drive carefully.
That one pic showing the fire against the snow is awesome. It's postcard perfect. Dinner looked good as well. Thanks for sharing
You sort of remind me of Les Stroud. The self-shot multiple angles shooting style, the know-how, the accent, cooking over a fire. Survivorman vibes
Stunning drone video and wind sound - wow. Music is lovely too. Darn, I know why I stick around (Minnesota) in winter now. Those final night mountain shots were beautiful. Thank you.
That fire and Dutch oven, are works of art 👍. Magnificent footage and photos, WOW ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👏👍👍
Seriously dude you are the best fire starter, fire maker, fire magician ever!!!!!
OMG I envy you:) looks happy. I wanna try this when I move to russia in few years
I love it! Sets up a fire with tinder and a cotton swab, and when I’m expecting a Ferro rod he whips out a butane zippo! 😂
The cotton balls are covered with vaseline
Can not wait to get my van and do some campfire cookin's❤ thanks for always making amazing content
Dude, such an awesome video; Nature is God's way of saying "enjoy my gifts, appreciate Life"...you certainly answered that call and gifted us with sharing the adventure. Whiskey, simple good cooking, Cold but beautiful nature & Stars...who could ask for more?? Keep on keeping on bro, Peace.
The perfect stew for a perfect winter camp evening!
As a canadian, i struggle with -4 degrees celcius being referred to as down right cold but this video kicks
A$$ as usual!!
Tiki riki I'm originally from Canada (grew up in Nova Scotia) but have been living since 1989 in Europe...-4c is very cold though, especially if you're not used to cold winters.
-4 is a warm winter day in Ottawa. All relative
BECOMING WR same as comment wars. Lol
Awesome videos man! i enjoy how you stay out there in the wilderness and zipping on some whiskey!!! Keep these videos coming!!
Grandma Iris here. I will name my van/home Chad. Because Chad makes my mind free and my heart happy. May God bless you 🙏💕
That's awesome! I'm honored. Cheers!
Again... you're intro is like a movie. I felt like I was watching the opening to an adventure film. I really appreciate your effort, it doesn't go unnoticed.
