Winter Campout at Dolly Varden Lake | Vanagon, Fresh Snow & Quiet Alaska Nights

Описание: Fresh snow, a frozen lake, and a quiet winter campsite deep out Swanson River Road… this one felt like the perfect Alaska reset. In today’s video, I take the Vanagon out to Dolly Varden Lake for a peaceful overnight winter campout surrounded by powder snow and absolute stillness — except for a raven who had plenty to say while I was filming.

This trip has everything I love about winter vanlife:
• Driving the Vanagon through fresh snow
• A frozen lake reflecting the evening colors
• Campfire steak cooked over the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0
• Fried potatoes and green beans simmering in the Stoke Voltaics cook pot
• A warm diesel heater inside the van for the long cold night
• Watching Thursday Night Football and a movie with Starlink Mini
• Morning sunrise over the frozen lake
• And a simple, peaceful campout in the heart of Alaska
Winter camping doesn’t get much better than this.
