I know this was three years ago, but I sure hope he went home and crawled right into a nice warm bed to get some sleep after all that! Glad you made it out to hike another day, Chris!
Chris, you're just impossible to dislike. How human you are, how often you smile, laugh, and purely enjoy ever second you're outside. Even in a darned scary windstorm. I think your comment early on, "I missed the extended weather report stating..." shows your self-effacing humor as well. Bravo!
Wow... great tent. Glad the tent is holding up for you on that crazy high windy night. Made me think of what the animals and trees have endured year after year. Amazing.
Haha nice, you posted this on my birthday lol Nov 7th 1977 lol As a Georgia boy, weather like that puts us southern folks to sleep, good storms, rain on a tin roof, perfect sleep every time lmao
Tent camping in a hurricane, with a history lesson thrown in! You the man! Impressive, glad i was in my warm house watching this. Thanks for another memorable adventure!
I was trembling just watching your adventure! But, it was so exciting to watch. Thanks and glad you're okay!!!! So glad you had all of us ro talk to!!!
Really enjoyed the camp-out. You know what to do, and I like that. I was concerned about the tree limbs, but everything worked out. A good video. Thank you for including us on your trips. I have never camped out in a tent before, but hey, I may one day. Stay safe Chris. Deme in Bama.
I've been in that situation in the sierras, very scary. I was most worried about a tree blowing over on my tent and crushing me to death....and I too didn't sleep all night. Good video , and thanks for sharing.
exactly! trees become the biggest threat. I remember a night out camping on my boyfriends parents land. we set up in the open because it was so windy we were worried about the trees. why we didn't just pack it in & go home on the 4 wheeler, I don't know... glad we didn't though, it was fun! I slept fine in his arms, I think he was the restless one. ;)
Recently I was watching a camping show with really high winds and they pitched there tent close to a open spot close to a cliff all I could think about was that wind picking up the tent with the person and chucking him over the cliff I was a nervous reck just watching!
I forgot my earplugs on my most recent mountain camp and had pretty bad wind and rain. Couldn’t sleep so I just shoved wadded up tissue paper in my ears and tossed and turned all night. And here you are giving a little history lesson in the middle of the night. Haha loved it!! New subscriber! ATB
Packing up our recently sold home( Praise God!) and discovered your channel. I love me some Bigfoot stories..so now I'm bing-watching your channel while packing up said house! I love the stories!!
😮wowzers.. i felt for ya in this one. Glad you remained safe. You are always so positive with a kind personality. I learned a ton . Thank you for sharing
Thank you Chris. On a day like this where my PTSD symptoms have reared their ugly heads, when I can’t leave the house; this was so soothing. Thanks All
Chris I have been watching your videos for a while You are very talented in story telling . Many of your videos remind me of backpacking and camping with my family in the summer. We never saw or heard big foot. Keep the stories coming. Love your channel
A great camping adventure AND a history lesson...fantastic! Man, that was some brutal wind! You're right, thank God it wasn't snowing, scary to think about. The tent withstood it like a trooper, great choice on that purchase. This was a great video, thank you!
@@basecampchris But FYI -- please don't think you need to put yourself in danger to keep us tuned in! ;-D All of your videos are enjoyable -- thanks for sharing your journeys with us!
Wow..!! It takes a Special Gentle Man to be so chirpy about Camping in a Hurricane Storm.?!! It truly is lovely to see such a Happy Chappy and everyone can see you’re a Half-Full kinda Man, especially during these difficult times to be here with such Happiness and Grace - this warms my heart..! Thank you so much..!
Really enjoyed watching this and hearing about the history of this beautiful yet rugged area. I grew up camping with my family and this is the only way to refuel spiritually and physically. Really glad that you made it through the storm safely. God Bless
Hey Chris..As someone who has experienced about 10 hurricanes..but while INSIDE structures...this video blows me away! (Pardon the pun.) Always enjoy your storytelling when you're camping in such wild, beautiful and sometimes spooky locations. This episode, however, was a whole different deal. Well done, sir!
@@kathleennorton2228 Welllll, given that christianity is not even 2000 years old and is cobbled together from the sagas and teachings of other Indo-European religions that came before it ... and given that for tens of thousands of years before that most human societies were ruled according to female/mother deities who we now just call MOTHER NATURE ... and given that Nature's eternal, immutable laws, i.e. physics, rule the galaxies and beyond, I'd say Nature is everywhere, as every single living thing is subject to the natural laws no matter what faith or no faith that living thing has.

I recall the older version of that tent only having 3 poles. The addition of that half pole guyed out might have been the life saver. Hiking out on no sleep argg tough. GL on your next rip.
We can hear you. Im glad you got the better tent. So glad we are with you. I am glad you have a personal locater. I will be staying with you until you get out. Double rainbow, what a great way to end an awful night. Cheers to ya, Chris!!
Criss, this was your very best show ever. It was 4 real, all the way. THANK YOU I know it wasn't easy. I had one simular years ago, but with only 80 mph winds. It shredded my tent. Lewie
Tenting in a storm tip: Find some round rocks and lay them in the tent along your outer walls. If sharp edge rocks is all you can find wrap then in jackets or clothes. That in addition to your tent pegs and tiedowns.
I first backpacked this area about 50 years ago, camped at Frog Lake. Then again about thirty years ago, I camped at some small unnamed lake. Very beautiful country.
I love reading all the comments on this video. I got a real good kick out of watching you maneuver the wind and keep your cool. If I had been there with you...I see myself laughing the whole time. I was almost laughing just sitting in my recliner. But I did have to finish watching to see if you made it out alive. Holy 🐄 cow! Your a brave hero 👏 💪 💙 strong man. I love camping 🏕 I'm a happy camper! 😊
Dang.. Got so wrapped up in this episode.. the story.. the meal.. All the Wooooosss for crazy windy weather.. Was concerned for your well being....THEN I SEE THIS IS 2 YEARS AGO!!!! 😳🤣.. I have to hand it to you Chris.. You really know how to entertain!!
Years ago was in a very similar situation on a small mountain with unexpected high winds and rain, it was definitely unsettling to say the least. Glad you made it down safely. Thanks for sharing! :) :)
I sure admire your perseverance and positivity, Chris! I lived in Tahoe and later in Nevada City, hiked, camped and skied all over those hills.. There's an old Donner party victim's grave surrounded by wrought iron in the woods along 49 on the right side, out of Nevada City, you might find interesting but bittersweet. Also Chinese mining camps left interesting debris. Lots of history there.
Dude, Chris, holy buckets! I have been a few windstorms, but nothing like that or that long. I knew you had a crazy streak, but you didn't have to prove it. Windstorm raging outside and a story about Kit Carson while its going on, just crazy. Time for REI to give you tent sponsorship deal. Moving your tent and guying it to the trees was brilliant and probably saved your bacon. One of the best you tube videos I have ever seen about camping. Next time stealth camp in a hotel lobby. Just stay safe and cheers! Seriously stay safe!
Stealth Camp in a hotel lobby?? Hilarious thought. Wow Chris really got skunked with the weather. iIs the storms that they don’t forecast that can sneak up on you. without warning..
Rei makes some awesome tents. I have used the 3 man Half Dome and in one camp mine was the only one standing when others got torn up and scattered. Yes the poles deformed momentarily, no breakage. Winter camping with heavy snow shed from it. Hurrah for Half Dome REI tents.
Wow! That wind is raging... I'm glad that you made it thought the night without blowing away. I enjoyed the history lesson too. I think this video will make a compelling case for the tent. Thanks for an awesome video, Chris!
REI branded tents are actually pretty good. I rented one this past summer camping in Colorado, after returning a Mountain Hardware Nimbus UL 1 (which was terrible don’t) buy it incredibly flimsy. Another great thing about REI tents everything’s color coded.
REI SHOULD GIVE HIM BIG KUDOS. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ENDURED THIS TORRENTIAL WINDSTORM. THAT IS INCREDIBLE! AND HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE WINDS WILL BE THAT FURIOUS. HE IS GOOD. AND GOD IS GREAT! 😁😁😁
I take my hat off to you Chris. I would have needed a nappy having to go through a night like that I can tell you. Glad you made it safe and well and I bet you slept like a log the following night. All the best Chris and thankyou for all your endeavors and always with a smile, respect to you sir
This was awesome! I don’t know where the quote comes from, but “it’s not an adventure until everything goes wrong” Keeping the positive attitude is so key on dicey occasions… And having good gear that you can have trust in. Loved the video
Awesome as always Chris! I almost came out to frog lake and elephant’s back but decided to do just a day hike up Mt. Rose. Still nearly got blown off the peak by that same windstorm, it was absolutely no joke!
In review moving the tent saved you from what could have been a nightmare . Good job Chris, good job rei .very impressed with your adventure great experience.
i agree . Chris has good survival instincts., . Too many of us ignore that inner warning.or do not know how to recognize . it is called the the “‘gift of fear”, it is like Han Solo saying “ I got a bad feeling….”
That's an epic video. I watched it with my daughter and we were impressed about how calm and in control you looked. We've been trough quit a blast last year in Northern British Columbia at 1800m but nothing compared to this. Glad you made it safely.
It's always best to buy as much food which lifts your spirits. Nothing like on a bad night/day to eat something which just makes you happy. Makes life a lot easier to handle. Thanks for the video Chris. Liked, and Shared. Woah, that wind sure is strong Chris. It is a good thing you moved your tent.
Good tracking Chris, you had me a little worried there for a while. Yes I remember the donner and Sutter expedition, I wonder how many times back in the early 1900s, 1800s, 1700s 1600s and on back where people were out in the middle of nowhere and had accidents or wild animals got them. My dad and uncle's we're way out in the country in the middle of nowhere going or coming someplace and a bad snow storm came up and the temperature was around freezing and I don't think they were dressed all that warm and they figured they were going to die and all of a sudden some guy comes along driving a tractor and saved them. Well keep hiking and enjoy the sights and maybe I'll catch you out in the woods somewhere, bye now.
Omg, I couldn’t stop watching! I had to see how it all turned out. Yes, I was thankful to be in my house, snuggled down in my warm bed, with my two little dogs snuggled close to me! I felt so bad for you and kept my fingers crossed that your tent would hold fast. I had to wonder if you would have gone to Plan B had you listened to the complete weather report! Lesson learned! Glad you made it out and hope you were able to nap later! Keep ‘em coming!
this was a wild ride!!! I'm remembering what you said a while back when things seem hectic or spooky: Stay positive, keep yourself busy. Great video! keep hiking!
Holly cow Cris!!!!!!! Your a boss man! Reminds me of a time at Hell Hole Resevior down mosquito ridge road out of Foresthill ca, not nearly as bad I'm sure but our tent was smacking me and my buddy in the face cause it was a poopy tent and windy for sure. In the morning we boated back to the car cause we took the boat out to our camp spot on the lake. On our way back in the morning it was still windy and the swells of the lake were intense, our "captain" on the 14ft aluminum boat was seriously scared and told us to start stripping down cause the boatight capsize, only part worth telling cause it was soooo funny. We started stripping down in a hurry and when I looked at my friend; I was about 16 and my buddies were in their early 30's; when he took his main layers off I looked over and he was in a kids onecee with soccer balls and fottballs all over it, I've never laughed so hard in my life, you know when you think your gonna die and then something funny happens, that's the pinnacle of hilariousnes.. ha
Great video as always Chris! Glad you made out safe, and I appreciate you showing us this experience! Very smart planning, packing and execution, as always, Keep Hiking!!
I am grateful for your willingness experienced knowledge. It’s nice for me because I am getting crippled and can’t hike the way I am use to or hike at all at this point. Thank you!
Oh my goodness!! This was truly a nail biter for me…no joke! I’m so glad you moved your tent and guy’d it to those trees. What an amazing storm there. Bravo for getting it all packed away without losing anything.🧡 So happy you made it to your car safe n sound. Excellent adventure!!♥️🏕
I just asked you a question in another video and this video absolutely answered my question. Today 4/15/23, I purchased this tent used (pitched once before according to previous owner) for a mere 125$ and in my opinion I made a hell of a purchase. I believe she is Adirondack weather proof.
Great video, as always. Love the history lesson. You were very fortunate to have good quality gear. That could have gone sideways on you real fast. Look forward to the next trip. Stay safe.
I absolutely love all your videos . So soothing when I’m having anxiety. Love all your stories. You are truly a genuine one. So refreshing in this crazy world 🤗
I know this was three years ago, but I sure hope he went home and crawled right into a nice warm bed to get some sleep after all that! Glad you made it out to hike another day, Chris!

Tenting in a storm tip: Find some round rocks and lay them in the tent along your outer walls. If sharp edge rocks is all you can find wrap then in jackets or clothes. That in addition to your tent pegs and tiedowns.

Thank you Harry...got through it. BCC
This was fun! (For me - a non-camper.) glad you made it out safely!
WOW. This is gripping to watch and the history lesson makes it perfect to watch. Greeting from UK. Best storm video so far.
Thank you so much Iqra! KP HKNG!
Thank you so much for sharing your great adventure Chris! I always enjoy your trips and your stories very much. You are an inspiration! 💗😊🏕🏕🏕
Omg, I couldn’t stop watching! I had to see how it all turned out. Yes, I was thankful to be in my house, snuggled down in my warm bed, with my two little dogs snuggled close to me! I felt so bad for you and kept my fingers crossed that your tent would hold fast. I had to wonder if you would have gone to Plan B had you listened to the complete weather report! Lesson learned! Glad you made it out and hope you were able to nap
later! Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you, Chris, for taking us on your camping trip! Reminds me of the months I spent living, hiking, and camping in the Canadian Rockies.
this was a wild ride!!! I'm remembering what you said a while back when things seem hectic or spooky: Stay positive, keep yourself busy. Great video! keep hiking!
At least you can now say you have experienced AND survived it… great job chris nerves of steal! ‘Teaches N a storm’ is your new TRAIL NAME
Thank you Calvin...It helped to focus on other things during the storm...like some early history. Like the Trail Name!
Holly cow Cris!!!!!!! Your a boss man! Reminds me of a time at Hell Hole Resevior down mosquito ridge road out of Foresthill ca, not nearly as bad I'm sure but our tent was smacking me and my buddy in the face cause it was a poopy tent and windy for sure. In the morning we boated back to the car cause we took the boat out to our camp spot on the lake. On our way back in the morning it was still windy and the swells of the lake were intense, our "captain" on the 14ft aluminum boat was seriously scared and told us to start stripping down cause the boatight capsize, only part worth telling cause it was soooo funny. We started stripping down in a hurry and when I looked at my friend; I was about 16 and my buddies were in their early 30's; when he took his main layers off I looked over and he was in a kids onecee with soccer balls and fottballs all over it, I've never laughed so hard in my life, you know when you think your gonna die and then something funny happens, that's the pinnacle of hilariousnes.. ha
Great video as always Chris! Glad you made out safe, and I appreciate you showing us this experience! Very smart planning, packing and execution, as always, Keep Hiking!!

I am grateful for your willingness experienced knowledge. It’s nice for me because I am getting crippled and can’t hike the way I am use to or hike at all at this point. Thank you!
Oh my goodness!! This was truly a nail biter for me…no joke! I’m so glad you moved your tent and guy’d it to those trees. What an amazing storm there. Bravo for getting it all packed away without losing anything.🧡 So happy you made it to your car safe n sound.
Excellent adventure!!♥️🏕
Thank you Kathy!! KP HKNG!
I just asked you a question in another video and this video absolutely answered my question.
Today 4/15/23, I purchased this tent used (pitched once before according to previous owner) for a mere 125$ and in my opinion I made a hell of a purchase. I believe she is Adirondack weather proof.
Great video, as always. Love the history lesson. You were very fortunate to have good quality gear. That could have gone sideways on you real fast. Look forward to the next trip. Stay safe.
very true...cheap Walmart tent would of not made it.
I absolutely love all your videos . So soothing when I’m having anxiety. Love all your stories. You are truly a genuine one. So refreshing in this crazy world 🤗
