Winter Camping in a Snowstorm w/ my Dog: It Snows This Much in Arizona??!!
Вставка

- UPDATE Aug 4th, 2021 - Sierra has been diagnosed with cancer. For those interested in helping with her treatment, I've set up the following page - www.gofundme.com/f/help-sierr.... Here is another cold weather throwback video to a really nice storm which hit while I was winter camping in Arizona. My two biggest snowstorms this past season were from Arizona, thought Colorado would have provided the most snow but that wasn't the case. LOVE camping in these tall ponderosa pines, such awesome trees! Hope you all have a great Sunday, thanks for tuning in. ~ Brian & Sierra

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF-GRID AND SELF SUFFICIENT HOMESTEADING
Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.
Self-sufficient homesteading means needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially about the production of food, and homesteading means living a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. So by those definitions, the key to homesteading is learning to be self-sufficient.
Home after being hospitalized with covid for 3 weeks. I am still on oxygen, and glued to my easy chair. Thank God I found your channel.
I just wish your videos were longer because they are so therapeutic. I wish you and your pup the greatest of times!
Just watching you chop wood made me tired. :) Thanks for sharing this found footage.
Lord have mercy Jesus I wish so bad I could go camping with someone and get away from the horrors of everyday life,If only for a few days!But since I can't, I'm going to picture myself with you on your campsite, Setting things up?No disrespect, Just enjoying nature and learning alot 😊👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Thankyou so much for sharing, Stay safe ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
Let's go then. Actually i may be quite serious. lol. My soul craves to be free like this but honestly to do it solo i just wouldn't feel safe. Maybe i could get a few pooches idk.
@@bageltv3489 If you grab a gun (preferably handgun) and a dog I'd say you'd be pretty safe.
If you don't own a gun or know how to use one you can always learn or get bear spray and then learn how to use it.
I’m down!!! I want to leave all this mess behind and just be simple.
@@ladyp3531 ikr 😀🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@bageltv3489, I'm in!
Sitting here in NYC and watching these is therapy for me. I just visited Colorado and hiked Arapaho and Rocky Mountain National Park and am missing the state tremendously. Beautiful landscapes and wonderful people.
I'm assuming the smoke was horrific
It is a wonderful life that you are living, Brian....Thank you for your vlog. Awesome as always.
Thank you Mohamed, I really enjoy sharing these experiences with everyone and I'm glad you find the videos interesting. Thanks for tuning in, have a great evening. ~ Brian
That is my idea of heaven in a warm tent hearing the rain or he snow as I love the sound of the snow crunching under foot my partner and kids hate camping and I can’t do it anymore due to ill health so love watching your vlogs
My husband hates camping. I went with the kids. One, now grown, dislikes it. So I feel for you! I am exploring stealth in woody suburban neighborhoods, a la Steve Walls.
I hope your health gets better 😊
Good morning and I love the campsite it's beautiful of the white snow so thank you for sharing and happy camping and stay safe and be careful out there and happy travels
You make your tent look so cozy and comfortable 👍🏽☺️
The main thing that makes this look fun is the awesome stove and roaring fire inside the tent. Oh, and man's best friend doesn't hurt either. Enjoyed the video, and the music was awesome. It has me wanting more of it. Cheers!
A rack above the stove to help dry wood would help. Cheap and easy way to quick dry. And put your wood in criss cross stack to let more air in between to get it to drybout faster. Stacked it dries slower
Lol your dog is hilarious.
Beautiful campsite in the snow.
Hello Brian & Sierra. Have a safe blessed day!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sorry to hear Sierra has cancer. Prayers for your dog and you.
Slice of Peaceful Backcountry 💕🐶💕😎🚙
Been thinking of you and Sierra. Prayers for you both
Always one of my favorite channels on UA-cam
I swear when you open that stove door I can feel the warmth of that fire 😊
I absolutely love that sensation, especially on mornings where it's really cold outside! I like to sit in front of the stove and when I open the door to the firebox it feels like a hot hairdryer blowing on my face. I love it! Thanks for tuning in Pam, have a nice start to your week. ~ Brian
A little piece of Heaven right there !
God wish I was there way too hot and I want winter tired of summer
Wow I’m in Texas metroplex the temp is 100 outside 🔥
But feels like 200. 🤣🤣
These are from memory cards he found from last winter 👌
@@debrajol3585 Thanks I was wondering
Good morning Brian and Sierra.
Love Sierra and Brian.
God Bless you both.
Thank you Cristina, hope you have a great start to the week. Sierra says hi (woof) :) ~ Brian
For safety, when swinging that axe, please remember to scream "HI YA!"
Charlotte and I just came across you and Sierra's videos today. (Charlotte is a 9 y/o Chocolate Lab.) She and I have shared many adventures and I thank her daily for saving me after my husband passed away. Without her, my heart would have never started to heal. Thank you and Sierra for sharing such a personal bond with a complete stranger.
❤ 🐕🦺❤ I'm going to stop crying and give her a cuddle because she's giving me the look😜 lol Thanks again from out here in Washington 😊 and all our love to you both; stay safe.
hahahahahhaa sierra is jumping into the snow omg sooooo cute ... my fav....love ya girl
Looks like Flagstaff? My hometown! Wouldn't live anywhere else. One of the few places that still has all 4 seasona. Can't wait for fall and winter. 🤙
I love watching your videos. They make me smile. I live in Colorado and love camping. I must try winter camping. I love the snow. ❤️
I would love to do this but this is a lifestyle and cant really afford to buy all this stuff just for the weekend and then go back to work lol, i mean i could but i only go camping every 5 years. for now i will watch these cozy videos
Anything that reminds me of freedom
watching this while having 44 C (111 F) just to force my brain to cool of, greetings from Athens Greece !!!
@@user-wu3ow2nc8o Thank you, much appreciated. I hope it will end soon
Awesome, thank you for sharing
Those fiscars axes are high quality for not too expensive. Not sure about electric chainsaw's on a gas one your chain would have been way too loose
Yeah, these axes are nice and I picked up another hybrid axe which I just started using. Have you used any of the Norwegian axes? They look interesting but I've not heard any first hand reviews. Yeah, the chain was a bit loose which I tightened...happens on occasion. Not a big deal though, it's an easy adjustment. Thanks for tuning in, have a great start to your week Jason. ~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures yeah i have there tiny hatchet 12 or 14 inches i think. It has lasted me for over 10 year's now. At first i was concerned because the handle is hollow but after using it no it works great keeps a great edge pretty good balance. Almost took my finger off when i was on a week long solo trip. I was being dumb and got too close on the log i was cutting. In my experience there probably the best unless you want to spend 200 dollars.
You need to tighten that chain on the saw
Damn Brian you found a gem in this old footage, one of your best. Badass 1 handed log splitting lol, already thinking about adding some winter gear for camping now ! Your videos inspire me to start winter camping.
Thanks Alan! I was shocked to get this much snow in Arizona. I've found a few high altitude prairies which get huge snowstorms so I look forward to filming more in these areas once winter sets in. I never knew the Colorado Plateau in N. Arizona was so awesome. LOTS of great terrain and not that many people. Have a great start to your week! ~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures what kind of tent is this?
Thanks for sharing this cool video.
Love your video...from South East Asia Malaysia
I Love camping in the snow, something about it.. The Quite, the calm.. Me and a Friend " and my doggy" Went Hiking up on Rampart Range Rd yesterday, Was a Blast, No one really up there as per most days! I do love your channel, Very Inspiring, Could ya do us all a Favor, PLEASE! Tighten your Chain on the saw, Bad things can happen my friend!! THANKS AGAIN!! Be safe!!
@Tom Jones and & @Off Grid Backcountry Living Yes. Please maintain your chainsaw & tighten chain. TRIGGER WARNING: My dear friend who lived an off grid life as a farmer in summer & skiing teacher in the NH White Mountains in those months (lived in his vehicle in winter and/or tent), one summer while cutting wood on his land/farm that he owned w/his brother, had the chainsaw jump back & cut open his abdomen/pelvis. He died alone in the woods bleeding out completely.
His brother found him the next day & was never the same after that. Not.at.all. Stay safe, friend.
PS To end on a happier note, Sierra is a Riot. I love the way she plays in the snow like Kamp does.
Speaking of Riot, do you sub to Lex and Riot? Very underrated channel. Lex is beautiful inside & out, has a wicked dry wit, curses on the regular (it’s been scientifically proven that those who curse are more brilliant than the rest of us-lol). Her vlogs tend to be funny and/or wildly informative w/beautiful drone shots (she’s even certified) and her editing skills are great; serious DIYer; lives in a 6x12 off-road converted cargo camper trailer with dual wheels pulled by an F-250 Diesel engine.
Everyone who subs to her just says they wish her vlogs were longer. She also has a blog at Lex and Riot dot com. Riot is her incredibly well-trained Malinois who looks a lot like Sierra; she trained her up from the time Riot was a pup bc that was her business. Sold it after her husband died from an accidental OD. Then hit the road Jack. Gimme a 2nd to find a good vlog of hers to share w/you.
@@marirose19 I figured it wasn't just me, That Scared the SHIT out of me when I saw it!! Friend of mine got his chain slammed into his leg.. SO.. TIGHTEN IT! OMG!
So sorry to hear about your pup having cancer. I lost a dog (13 years old) to brain cancer. I pray that she does not suffer, I know it will be hard for you.
Praying for Siera!!!!!!!
So sorry to hear about Sierra. 🙁
Hi..Enjoy watching your adventures..its relaxing to me..you are definitely a true survivor......love how Sierra enjoys the snow. Living her best life😊😊I was wondering if you put the chopped wood in a large waterproof bag and put it under your truck..would that help?
Great channel love the videos ! Subbed
If you are in Flagstaff yes they get up to 100 inches per year!
Snowing there Brian Triple Digits here in Florida 😎🤯 nice trees!
Hey Cathy, hope the temps cool off for you down in Florida. Have a great start to your week! ~ Brian
i would love the chance to do a winter camp but in the uk we dont get much snow
Ya need to tighten that chain on the chain saw before ya have an incident! Howdy from the Pine Barrens.
I can’t believe it’s snowing where you are and it’s 106 where I am hahaha
What tent are you using if i may ask
Never used to snow this much in AZ…almost like the climate changed…
You know, me and my friends were talking about that exact same thing in Southern Colorado. There are areas down there which never got much snow or rain and now they get quite a bit. It's interesting to see these shifts, I've definitely noticed it in some areas.
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures Cycles. Not as bad as it used to be.
Love it 😀😍
Where are you that is snowing already
Brian is uploading Previous Unreleased Video Winter Camping for Viewers 👍
Love the channel. Been binge watching since finding. Do you think the larger version of that tent with 3 people would have too much condensation? We are in Northern Canada. Considering pitching it and going to it every weekend.....Thank you for all the amazing content you put out.
Looks like a Fiskars splitting axe...good choice
Hey Brian!! Always love to watch your videos! I’m from RI and I just love the beauty the snow brings. I always see you cooking with cast iron. What is the best way to clean them and keep them from rusting on the road? You and Sierra keep safe out there. She is so sweet and that special relationship you have with her always makes me smile
Good Morning Anais, I leaned how to surf at Narragansett Beach in college so I've been out in your area. Loved all the history and cobblestone streets in Providence. I would love to come back out in the fall to see all the leaves change. One day I'll do that, it's a bucket list item. Regarding my cast iron, most of the time I"m able to wipe them clean of any food/debris with simply a paper towel. However, messier meals usually require me boiling water in the skillets to free most/all of the food stuck to it. Then I'll come back through and hit it with a light coating of olive oil or something similar. For cooking I've found unsalted butter works as a great nonstick remedy for cooking as well as any cooking oils. About the only thing I highly advise against is having standing water in your cast iron as this will make surface rust appear quickly. Hope this info helps, have a great day! ~ Brian
You might want to tighten that chain up a bit on your saw
I have the exact same tent and I have spent probably 45 nights in it during hunting expeditions. I also have the vestibule which I absolutely love for putting chairs in in order to sit and take boots on and off. I do also have the stove and I have never used it. I guess we get back from hunting and do freeze dried meals and just crawl into our warm sleeping bags and call it a night. I may have to do a trip and fire up that stove because it looks really cozy.
What's that tent called
I just can't see having a tent with NO bottom. Is there a reason for this?
What tent is this? I just picked up a Jack Wolfskin Travel lodge RT and wondered If I would be able to convert it to use a stove. Family of 5 and all... might be nice to have a good small stove in the tent.
Why does snow not only in Arizona but in the middle of SUMMER 🤷♂️
Makes me miss northwestern Montana.
I am a woman and this dude is an example of my choice to be a heterosexual. I'm tired of every other sexuality group boasting or complaining otherwise. I'm hetero and I'm proud
Are these vintage or are you somewhere where it is snowing?
Hey Vaughn! These are vintage...I found a few memory sticks with files I've not yet used. Hope you enjoy the footage! ~ Brian
Please ask your vet about grants for care for Sierra. I know of a lady who had a pup with cancer and a lot of the treatments were covered because they were approved with a grant.
HEy was just wondering, what breed is your dog?
Just got your channel in my recommendation. Looks Interesting and I’ll check around your channel a bit. Three questions from a newbie. How is it with permission to camp? From where do you get the lumber? Just picking old trees around you? And bears? Sad to hear about Sierra....
Hello Brian, what ever happen to the piece of land you bought ?
What kind of tent is that
🤘🏻Morning
Good Morning Zac!
Livin it bro n I’m lovin it🤘🏻
Is this current?? You must be in high elevation right? Beautiful out there! I also notice the chain on your saw seems really loose, you may want to tighten it a bit to take most of that slack out if it. Don’t want it coming off! Thanks for the video!
Good Morning KC Creations, no this is actually footage from a few memory sticks I found with unused video files. I have enough to make 3-4 more videos so I plan to release a few more before the winter season starts. Hope you have a great start to the week, thanks for tuning in! ~ Brian & Sierra
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures that’s awesome! It’s great to see the snow! Thanks for sharing and be safe!
What is the brand of the tent?
Your chain is too loose.
I have never seen anybody run a saw with the chain so loose it hangs like this one. Not a good thing.
what tent do you have
Found a new dope channel.
What wood stove is that
Is it just me or is the chain on your chainsaw a bit loose?
It's all good, those are easily tightened up.
I would always love to go camping like that but i have no skills or no clew of what to do to survive incase of an emergency
What is the name and brand of your tent?
Hi James, this tent is the Big Horn III from Cabela's but unfortunately they stopped making it two years ago when Bass Pro bought them. For the stove, I have use the DX Model from Four Dog Stoves. Disregard "Poopie Pants", shitheads like that seem to be more common on here but I just shadow ban them on my channel so you and others don't have to deal with people like that. Hit me up with any additional questions, I'm happy to share details.
It snowed in Yuma one time. Mass hysteria ensued.
👍
Snow in August? Perfect! General location? (very general)
Hows Sierra?
I want to buy a camper to live in year round but I have no idea how to safely do so in extreme weather conditions.
Love your videos, especially when you focus on the actual survival of keeping the tent safe, cooking and the firewood. Just wondering if it wouldn't be better to keep the freshly cut, new wood in the vestibule/foyer in single layers to dry out instead of piled up together all wet and snowy?
Weird. You used to have two bunks. Now you have only one, and Sierra always seems to be sleeping in it.
pre chopped cool dude
❤❤❤👋😁
How tall are u and do u have any wife and kids and what did y do before camping
How do you break down the camp and keep your gear from molding/ruining being inside the truck from being wet? Love the videos.
WHAT 14 PEOPLE DISLIKED THIS VIDEO? FR? Smh.
Hey Eric, it's probably the 14 trolls I've told off in the past week. I go to great lengths to shadow ban those people and sometimes give them a piece of my mind so I imagine those are the people who dislike this sort of stuff. Generally speaking though, the YT crowd is great - especially compared to other social media. I love sharing these adventures with everyone, thanks for tuning in. ~ Brian
Your videos always bring me such happiness-the music, the food, the simplicity. Am a winter camping Patreon now. How do I communicate with you? No worries. Im 61 & married. Just need some advice. Have some info/ideas for you. I promise not to be a pest; that’s one adjective no one’s ever described me with. Kind-hearted is more like it (not to toot my own horn).
Hey Marirose! How does the middle part of this week look for you? I'm up 4x4'ing at the moment and don't have the best service but I'll have good service Weds, Thurs, and Fri. Let me know if there's a time that works best for you and we can set up a time to chat. Look forward to it! ~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures Oh wow, Brian. I’m psyched. Thnx so much. Am on East Coast & not a morning person (same as you). Thurs & Friday afternoons or evenings, whenever you feel best, works for me.
How does it work? Do you email me? Text? Call? Did I give my number when signing up for Crowdcast? Can’t recall. Pls let me know what time (Eastern Daylight Savings time) & how we’ll be chatting. I’m looking fwd to it also.
😊👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️
Tighten the saw blade.
Brian, Tom Jones mentioned to tighten your chain on your chainsaw which I seconded with deets of a true story abt how my friend died when it jumped back.
Anyway said I’d give you a link to one of my favorite & most underrated UA-camrs w/channel named Lex and Riot. Lex-beautiful, dry wit, smart as a whip, major DIYer, & great editor & videographer. More abt her elsewhere under Tom Jones comment. Riot is her very well-trained Malinois who she trained bc she owned a biz she sold before hitting the road. Riot reminds me a lot of Sierra but has more energy which is typical of Malinois dogs.
Anyway here’s a good link to a Lex and Riot vlog. She also writes a blog you can sign up for at lexandriot dot com. If you want to learn more abt Riot just search Lex and Riot on YT and then write in Riot’s name. Riot is a girl & a hoot. Both you and Lex are so great w/your dogs.
She sometimes writes things across the screen to clarify btw. Link here: ua-cam.com/video/YMTdSf8t0kM/v-deo.html
I always ask my self why not use the chainsaw i dont know nothing of camping but just saying isn't it more easier
How many miles are on your truck?
340,000 but it's worth mentioning I put a Jasper rebuilt engine in my truck at 290,000. The 2005 Tacomas were known for having a weak head gasket and mine finally gave out at 290,000 miles.
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures I have an 09. I just hit 180,000. Were you affected by the frame recall?
Don't rely on electric chainsaws, I have a collapsible saw..
Zzzzzzzzzz. cool tent
