Surviving a Record-Breaking Snowstorm in a Van | (8ft/2.5m) Extreme Blizzard Camping

What is your Power source? Your van battery? And if so does that mean that your van is constantly on? 🤔

just got 2 feet of snow at a mile high. 8 feet is crazy though.

Concerning the Donner party!
"It is a solemn thought: dead, the noblest man's meat is inferior to pork."
- Mark Twain
P.S. Food for thought, or very desperate times.

I’m not a hater here BUT why wouldn’t you pull the van ahead THEN shovel in a less cramped space ???? You actually made that job harder than it could’ve been. I live in a camper I’ve learned FAST how to save my time and the easiest methods that get done just as well.

I live in Donner lake . I drove to the store because I wanted some candy. So exaggerated

Love the sense of adventure! Something that we have to do here in great lakes/michigan winters is during heavy snowstorms, plan on going out every few hours to clear the snow where you need to clear it in order to keep it from building up to beyond clearing. Totally normal to hear shovels and snowblowers at 2am from people clearing their driveways and sidewalks. I was getting nervous for you seeing your drivers door getting blocked in and almost impossible to open. Please keep your exits cleaned as much as possible, even if you need to get out there for a few minutes at 2am :)

I'm surprised you did not get buried by that snow plow?you are parked where they put the snow. I worked in this industry and if it's clear in the winter it's not for you to park. It's open for a place to put snow? It's amazing how caught up people are in their own lives and and making there video's they don't think! I bet those snow plows were glad you got your dinner and movie in? When they stayed out all night working like men away from there family. Just so the public know if they clear out a spot you will not get out in the morning it was ment to.put snow.

I would go look for some wood and prepare before it got worst. Bring dried fruit and nuts and lots of beans and protien sources.

I cant believe all of the people on here that are saying the meanest, nastiest things. That is his home, not just a weekend trip. That van is probably nicer than some of your homes/apartments. Are you just jealous? Ues, he may not have done some smart things, but i guess you all are perfect (the ones who criticize). You dont have to watch. I think it's interesting. Way to go.

Love the content and please invest in a porta potty or other device. 😉

First aid rescuers have to risk their lives because of stupid people like you. It's unbelievable to be proud of something like that.

So much plastic dude!

Are you Alex Lyon, Goalie for the Detroit Red Wings?

The negative comments are from jealous people. Just forget about them. We love ur vids!

Keep living your life! Ignore the jealous haters sitting on their couches.

What about the first responders that have to put there lives at risk to rescue you. My husband was a firefighter ,and this behavior seriously upsets me. What if the exhaust gets blocked with snow and you die. What is happening with this world. It's one thing ,if you truly get caught in storm. To purposely get into that situation is insane.

Dude you're out there alone amnd your trying to ski

Strawberry with chocolate 🍓

Where’s your gloves ?

Nuts . And daft .

Make sure backing up that snow doesn't impact the tailpipe. Cuz it will freeze into ice after the engine is off and the engine won't start... That's a tip I learned from well .. experience😅😅

Who was tape this

I would love to have a van like that. Can you post where you got the van?

No salt, pepper or any kinda seasoning on that chicken. Shame.

I haven't had cordon bleu in so long

how do you keep the van warm?

Is it warm in your Van?

If I was to do what your doing here I would shovel snow away from the van and keep away from snow bank so there's room to keep tail pipe cleared ... .. if you have a idea what you are up against another thing you could have done is move the van for the snow removal crew to clear the spot that your in you can always move back to the spot

As a plow driver in the Tetons, car/van campers can be quite frustrating with how they chose to park. Just be mindful that people are trying to clear the lots you are in. If you see a massive mound of snow, that's where the crews have been pushing it. Don't park in front of that pile. Also if you hear them, just get out and ask "hey man where is best for me to park to be out of your way?"

Youngsters are fearless! Glad I didn’t see this guy on the 6 o’clock news if you know what I mean

Epic snowstorm and you didn't bring gloves. An extra hat. A ski mask. Using socks on your hands for gloves?
And what's with the olive green coat? Talk about blending into the forest, no chance anyone will see you.
And get a bigger shovel. I was so waiting for that little thing to just snap.
If you are going to do these things, some extra sense is needed. Please.

We just had 90 cm of snow and more to come

gonna read about you in the news frozen

-- Chocolate-covered strawberries a) freeze up
b) freeze down
c) just plain freeze
d) freeze solid, ('cause you forgot to bring them in earlier)
better outside?
. . .

Look at the rate that it's falling at . . . the rate that it's falling at . . . the rate . . .

Now that was epic!!!

Never doubt the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Winter.🌬❄

Make sure your ventilation isn't packed with snow in conditions like this.

As a general suggestion, I think choosing red light in the evenings is better than blue, because red will keep your night vision intact if something happens, also blue light tricks your eyes to think it's daytime.

Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc ….

Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… 

where is God and His faithfulness…


God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love,  it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death. 

God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin. 

He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕

Beautiful footage of the Sequoias. Thank you!

Closse the door 🤬

I wish you well. In the future please choose another location to cook with oil. Not under a wooden cabinet. I know you are careful though. Peace

Uhm that chicken was still pink

I find van life interesting and your van is beautiful. Now I am going to be a mom for a minute when you put your chicken out, you reached right in for your cheese and ham. Please be careful of cross contamination. My friends got salmonella and they were violently ill and were rushed yo the hospital. That would be dangerous for you on a night like that.

That is probably one of the most insane meals I could think to make in a van, hot fat in a clsoed space.

You are so brave for even parking there and camping out in your "RV Van" - which is so cool by the way... I would have been afraid and terrified, as I have no experience with snow whatsoever.

I've only been around snow about 4 or 5 times out of my whole life time, honestly I would have feared the worst and would've gotten myself out of there as soon as possible to non-snow areas.

Were you afraid to get snowed in, or even trapped, what were you thinking... You could have gotten yourself killed. But luckily you had a stove and I did notice that you were near a road because I seen Caltrans passing by a few times in your video stream. Be safe out there, if you're still out there in the snow.

Unwashed hands. Chicken salmonella all over the counter, upper cupboards and bench things - crazy.
