Backcountry Winter Camping In a Van - Living The Van Life

Van Life - The versatility that it provides you. Whether you are urban stealth camping, touring the National Parks and campgrounds, or getting deep off the grid and into the backcountry wilderness, Van life makes it all possible. In this episode, I take my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Campervan deep into the backcountry of British Columbia Canada for two days of off road driving and winter camping near Kamloops Lake. We build campfires, cook food, drink whiskey and use maxtrax to get ourselves unstuck in a sticky situation. I cook a few meals using the JetBoil as well.
