    Everest is my brother, when he was little he said he was gonna live in the woods and make UA-cam videos for a living. I laughed because a) why would you want to live in the woods, and b) who would want to watch videos of you living in the woods? Those two questions remain a mystery to me but I’m glad you’re living your childhood dream

      I would agree! He does a fantastic job of making entertaining videos that include humor. He’s even cooler in person if you can imagine that but I’m really proud of everything that he’s done on UA-cam ever since the day that I met him and his mom way back in 2017 when he was still in high school and said he had dreams to become a UA-camr. He’s literally done everything that he said he was gonna do.

    Yay, a new video!!! DEFINITELY do this again and stay longer. Cook some more outside and set up your projector. Building some ski jumps or moguls also sounds fun. Now - go get your propane refilled! Not gonna lie - one of my favorite things is watching you cook up a great meal in your van….I’m going to try the chicken cordon bleu you made a little while back.
    If you don’t have one you should get a crockpot. You can make so many amazing things with little effort or cleanup that will keep you warm like potato soup, lasagna, chicken stew, shredded bbq chicken for sandwiches or over rice, chicken and noodles or dumplings, overnight apple and cinnamon oatmeal, French toast casserole, etc.
    Thanks for the fun your videos always bring and never listen to the haters. 100% of them are jealous of your kicka$$ lifestyle. Who wouldn’t want to live like this?

    Amazing work as always Everest! To answer your question from the end of the video yes, absolutely I want to see more of this. And I’m sure most of your audience would agree. I thought it was a really cool and creative concept. It was also cool that you gave your friend Luke a shout out for the inspiration. Once again, I like That you’ve been intertwining your cooking skills into the video, but I’m gonna have to say, and I think this is gonna make you laugh. My favorite part of your food concept of the video was definitely that you were enjoying a bowl of crave.! I’m pretty sure we’ve talked about this I would say crave is absolutely the most fantastic cereal and once I can lose a little little bit more weight, I’m gonna treat myself to a bowl 😂😂😂 let’s see there’s so much to dissect from the video. I thought that the part with you watching a movie was pretty cool, but walking around Oregon State. There was the typical Oregon state train that passed right at that point, and it was honking at probably the cross country team or something so I wasn’t really able to capture that whole part but I thought the concept was really cool. Additionally, really hoping I can see you in person soon. Sounds like maybe I’ll have a chance over the next few weeks. Keep up the amazing work.!
