V8E10: Conquering the Mountain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- The week commences near Yucca Valley, California, where I stumble upon a secluded campsite adjacent to a dramatic, boulder-strewn desert wilderness. When the weather takes a turn, I travel into Los Angeles, to meet with a Webasto specialist who services my Air Top 2000 STC gasoline heater. The week concludes in the Arizona desert, where I carefully consider current events. Be safe everyone!
Nobody is more socially distanced than Chris right now! A+++++++
Social distance world champ March 2020....
Years of practice. 😊
You do all of us a huge service allowing us to focus on the wonderfulness of the great outdoor. Long, still, and always highly appreciated.
Please keep doing what you do! We all need the distractions channels like yours bring us during these unusual times.
Finally something good comes of this week.
As always,the best thing I’ve watched all week!!!!
Thank you Chris for your great videos. They have been very inspirational to me to take the family out and become one with the natural surrounding that we at times take for granted. Look after yourself and thank you once again.
Chris is the Bob Ross of overlanding.
Pretty little trees.
Thank you for posting a video. Life is about conquering mountains and our journey, it's inspirational to see you do it. Be safe, keep creative.
Truth be told, where you are and what your doing are two of the very best things you can or could do especially durring this time. Not only for your own safety but also the great weather. As a side benefit, we get to continue with the adventure as couch potatoes stuck where we are, for the time being.
BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! AWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TAG ALONG WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Boy, Ramon really knew his way around that heater... glad you got it fixed.. great video as always Chris.. stay safe...
Glad to see you're safe. Was a little worried when your video was late, but totally understand. If your family needs anything, we're one county away (Berks) from your son and parents and will do what ever we can to assist. Just say the word. Safe Travels and God Bless!
Man, thank you! Please, if you can provide us with some content that would be much appreciated. I am in SoCal, locked down, and worried about my job. This video gave me 20 mins of mind numbing distraction. You provide Therapy on an average day, but this was priceless today. Thank you, Chris. Be well.
God bless you man! Your family comes first.
Nice closing thoughts Chis. I agree with you. Take care of yourself and may your family be safe as well.
Thank you for these videos. I’m watching from Ann Arbor, Michigan. The state is in lockdown, its 28 degrees, and there is no sunshine forecast for at least the next two weeks. We need the reminder that life is beautiful.
Thanks for picking up the pigs’ trash they left in camp.
Very well said Chris. Your safety is the most important thing but I hope you are able to keep bringing us a distraction during these trying times.
Thank you and very well said.
Really love the shot from inside the jeep with the camera behind the two front seats. That’s really cool Chris!
Since many, many folks are “quarantined “ at home escaping their home bound confines via your videos is an awesome alternative. Given your normal routes you’ve been “social isolating” for over a year👍 You got this!!!😷
It doesn’t matter that this was two weeks video in one as long as you and your family are healthy, glad you’ve got the heater fixed and hope it continues to work properly. The Jeep always looks out of place in a heavily urbanised situation and the first steep climb near the beginning of the episode looked great in video. Just do what you have to stay well I’m sure we’ll be happy to wait for the next episode
Stay safe and God's speed Chris...
Yes, we've all heard enough about the virus. Thank you for being a wonderful distraction from all of this virus overloaded, that we've all had to deal with. So glad to hear your well, and as always, we're looking forward to your next video upload. Till then, safe travels to you Chris.
As always great video, I love watching your adventures you inspire me. We need content like this especially now it reminds me how much we need to enjoy life because you never know what can change your life in an instant . Thank you
I know this had been said before. But I commend you for always practicing good trail etiquette. It's nice to see 'someone' picking up after others. Well done sir!
Ramone has a magnificent set of flowing amber locks
Glad to see you with new content. Your videos are refreshing and something different these days. Stay safe my friend.
Chris, something to check with you heater is also that it is getting sufficient air flow under that fridge. I'm sure OK4wd did a good job but you might make sure you have a nice open air source for the inlet of the heater. If you have air draw issues with the burner it will soot up with carbon as well. Hope all is well. Terry.
Coming here to escape for a bit! Thank you for doing these videos!
be safe, do what ya can, continue to enjoy life. You are blessed to have the lifestyle you have, this issue will pass.
I thought for sure this episode was going to be called "Social Distancing". Maybe the next one? Lol!
Well said Chris! Your videos will bring positivity to us when we need it most. Perhaps you are doing something even bigger than you originally thought? Hope you and your family stay safe.
Great Chris. Have fun out there while the country burns.
Post whatever you can, because your videos are a relief for those of us isolating at home.
Glad to know you are well. You're a great inspiration to me. Keep doing what you are doing.
Good to hear you are all right. Be safe and thanks for the update!
Nice shot of Mt. San Jacinto. And thanks for picking up after the a-holes leaving their trash. We have plenty of them here in Ca.
Impressive to see that you help to pick up trash litters and take them away.
Praise God you are ok. So good to see your healthy. God is good always. Thank you for your perseverance but be wise and don’t take risks. Saludos desde Peru.
God Bless you and yours and all of us....Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures my man!!!! 👊👍. When the wifey and I get our Jeep we will be using Summit 4x4 because of you sharing your great experiences with them...cannot wait to explore AZ like you do!!!
Webasto specialist technician......AKA..... Yosemite Sam! Glad you're back Chris.
Desert rocks sure look like Cherons Gardens, Wichita Mountains, OKLAHOMA.
Very beautiful photos and video.
Safe travels, my friend!
Very sensible video and smart idea to return to the desert. You will be safe out there and be able to communicate with your family. This crisis will pass sooner rather than later and we will be on the other side of this soon. Take care and be safe
well done shontzy. thank you
Great vid Chris glad the heater is fixed it is a crazy time stay safe be careful
Great video thank you!
Love the new camera angle looking out the front windshield, cool.......Cheers....Steve
Good to see you back, great plan!!!
Thanks Chris! Glad all is well!
Thank God for you Chris and your outlook on life.
Thanks Chris for your video in these corana virus lockdown in Europe. Stay safe.....
Keep on fighting the good fight and keep on keepin on my man!
I have nothing to do, but watch you keep the videos coming if you can. But be safe
Chris,
I was wondering if the current events were effecting your schedule and ability to push videos.
I am glad that you are able to continue, and that you as well as your family are healthy and handling things well. Personally, I don't mind at all if the videos are a bit shorter, or even delayed if necessary.
I enjoy them when I see them, and that's that.
Stay safe, enjoy God's creations, and most of all, don't let current events change your passion!
TheTrakker he’s definitely following social distancing.
@@Offshore1977 as would I if I had an opportunity. Hahahaha.
I've offered to work from home, but my boss doesn't think that I would be as effective in my role with the engineering department. Sometimes he is difficult like that.
Chris! I was brought onto your videos by one of your friends. Love your work and glad your doing great out there. Great message.
Hi mate. Glad your okay. Yes, family is always first. You are in a perfect position to minimise contact but more importantly family come first. I commend you for not turning this weeks episode into some Zombie Apocalypse style dooms day adventure. Just keep it light, informative and keep on being you. Take care.
Hey Chris, I am glad to see that you are OK, was a little worried when the video took so long to come out... Stay safe brother.
Great work Chris!! You look after yourself fella:D
I just started watching your video series and it has been inspiring. Thanks. I just retired from the Coast Guard last week, the wfe and i look forward to traveling and spending more time outside.
Thanks for the motivation.
Nice job Chris, stay safe.
He’s ALIVE
See the mountains in front of you and then conquering them. Amen Brother. Go forth and speak the good news.
hey bud.....long as you are o.k at out there..im happy with it.
Glad to see your heater get fixed. Even though you're in southern Cal it still gets awfully cold in the desert after the sun goes down. Chris, I don't know if Palm Springs is in your plans but the tram ride up to the top of Mt San Jacinto is pretty exciting . There are hiking trails up there worth exploring. The restaurants in Palm Springs are incredible, too. My favorite one serves the best spaghetti in the world and their pizzas are phenomenal.
Just what I needed!
Glad you are okay - perfect closing comments to video - stay safe!
Watching this video in late February 2021. You had some amazing insight and intuitiveness regarding where the virus was going to take us and what we needed to do with preparing for it.
So glad you got your heater back!
Loved Ramon's hair style
Just glad you're safe and well. 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
Take care and be safe out there! Keep venturing 4 wd.
Glad you’re okay man. You’re the safest one out there. Thank you for everything
Stay safe Chris.
Arizona desert sounds like a great place to hold out at.
Thanks for getting this out Chris. Totally understand your situation, if you can get a film out, it's a great break from our reality, if you can't, just stay safe and get your ducks in a line.
Saw your Jeep in a Facebook Meme the other day. Picture was your Jeep in Camp mode. All set up with the awning and the light on. It said..."What would you rather be doing right now?"
I saw his Jeep with the awning & bug room displayed recently in a meme also. Can't remember it really, but it was not the same one. So congrats Chris! You've reached level Meme! I love the channel, stay well.
This. Exactly This.
@@nicholasmiller9755 Thats the one I saw. The Bug Awning with the PVC tubes???
@@boomer005 yup, same image I'm sure. Someone just swapped the text to say something else.
Level...meme, noice. Cool name BTW
Chris, Well done - especially the end. You nailed it.
Problematic heater, after what you have been through I wouldn't consider it. Beautiful desert scenery, I live in SoCal and have hiked there many times.
Thank you for helping us escape all of this drama right now!
Not surprised, but happy you’re being responsible and safe.
If you get stir crazy, I know you did a rig walk around a year or so back, but I would love to hear your input on all your choices after being out for so long.
Food for thought, but Venture4WD is about the horizon and not the rig and we all love you for everything you do, Chris.
Rock on.
Take care. Stay healthy
Stay well, stay safe.... keep doing what you do so well.... I'm living my fantasy through your videos! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the updates Chris. Your videos are always interesting to watch. Really jealous of your form of self-isolation. I'm hoping I can do the same in a month or two once the weather warms up here in Alberta. Stay safe!
a welcome change in a world gone to crap.. at first glance I thought the guy at Webasto was tv's Danny Bonnaduce. Be safe out there Chris.
Glad to see this, was concerned about you. Keep going if you can but please be safe, Prayers are for you.
Be safe Chris
Welcome back to AZ. Again. You couldn't have picked a better place to spend time right now. Keep up the thoroughly enjoyable content.
Thank You.
Stay safe keep up the good video’s
Awesome video👍
Welcome back to AZ. If you make it back to the Apache Junction area, I'd love to buy you dinner and a few beers.
Chris - great video. However ....don't cook with a metal spoon with that skillet or it will chip the coating off and you'll wind up slowly eating it over time (will get into your food). Use a bamboo spatula.
Keep well Chris. We were getting worried about you, but this video was well worth the wait!
thank you Chris
Good plan Chris, we all need a break from reality. Than you for taking us along! God bless.
Been looking forward to this all week, thank you! Stay safe Chris!
Chris, as you already know your in my prayers bud. The good thing is you have the InReach, so in an extreme situation family can text you and reach you via satellite 🛰.
I agree movement leads to consumption and things are just too uncertain to know what can be replenished at any given time/location.
Never been the first view before. Great timing
