Backpacking in a SNOWSTORM with 3.5 FEET of Snow! Solo Camp in the Sierra Nevada
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Hi Campers! I go on a solo overnight backpacking camp out during a spring snowstorm! The spring snowstorm brings over 3 feet of snow while I'm camping next to a creek in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern California! I set up camp with my REI Quarter Dome 1 person tent, build a fire pit and make dinner while I survive the snowstorm!

Tarps nowadays have taken the need for any tent on my wilderness camps no matter the weather. I only say this because the sleep I get with an all night fire keeping me 100% warm and dry far surpass the tent rest I've ever had! Great film Chris, always enjoy the work you put into these adventures!
I love winter camping, my favorite time of year to camp. Awesome video, I loved that beautiful weather you are in, didn't get very much snow here in Indiana.
Hey Jerry ...Thanks! Yes, we got zero precip in February...March has been a different story...I Enjoyed the Weather!
Gotta tell ya, I learn so much from your videos. Your ventures are always exciting. Wow!
I appreciate that!
Love winter camping! This is the first one of your snow trips I've seen, and now I'm gonna watch the others.
I'm having a Base Camp Chris video marathon today. Keep hiking and keep filming. Stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
Throughly enjoyed this one! Love the snowfall hiking and fire camping. How peaceful, Chris!
Glad you enjoyed it
Golly this footage is priceless. From the sprinkle of snow ❄️ under the chair your sitting at... to your meals. You really make everything great!
Thanks so much!
Base Camp Chris what are the names of the green cargos you wear? It seems like it says wondog? Lol! Sorry, but I just like all the gear you utilize down to what you wear when you’re hiking. They seem comphy
GREAT. CAMPING.
Great o'nite snow camp. I've never done that. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Priceless.... lovely setting well organised💜✨️💜✨️💜✨️
Chris, this spring snow was so beautiful! I love big storms but we have not had much this year. Years ago, my husband & friends would winter camp near Algonquin Peak in the Adirondack mountains in upper NYS. Well, the last time he went it was very cold, a lot of snow which made hiking in very difficult. That year we had bought a home with a wood burning fireplace & it is a very cozy bungalow. When he returned, he told me this was the last trip. He was so miserable because all he could think was “ What the hell am I up here freezing & my wife & pets are cozy around the fireplace! He never went again! However, he knew I would also travel to a Rochester to shop with my sister spending $$ since he left me home alone! Lol!
Tim and I loved the video. We can’t believe you picked that night to camp out. We watched the storm while in front of the fire too....in our living room. You’re a beast!
Yes, it was quite the night...not super cold/but very wet. My gear made the difference! Thanks for watching. “ keep hiking!” 🥾
Thanks for sharing your trip. Looks like a great time.
Thank you John! My gear kept me comfortable in the tent...Good Trip!
Thank you for who you are and what you do. Very cool…
Hello Chris, it's good to see you again. Thank you for sharing another informative video. You always do a great job of narrating. You picked a great spot for a campsite. I hope to get away on March 26th for a one week outing in El Dorado County. All the best to you for your good health and safety out there on the trail. 🤗
Hi Ronald Thank you ...appreciate your support! El Dorado county is good country! Enjoy...My Best to you!
You are one awesome man, with balls as big as church bells ! Love your show.
I clicked on your video all the snow caught my attention I subscribed and I really like watching you video
Thank you for subscribing Melissa ..."Keep Hiking!"
Lovely 💜💛💜💛💜💛 looking 4 ward to more
That's one heck of a hike Chris but you did well.👍
Thanks Senior Hiker, It was slow going on the way out...Enjoyed it though.
Really impressive mate. As a fellow traveler, I wouldn't backpack in those conditions let alone making a video for my channel. Amazing job mate
Hey Love Live Discover, Thank you! I stayed just dry enough to get through. "Keep Hiking!"
Hi Chris. We love all your videos. I am trying to catch up on all your older ones now. We live in the Sierra Nevada foothills in California and love to hike. My husband has camped and hiked all his life both her in California nd the Italian and Austrian Alps, (and technical climbing there). Love all your scary stories. I ask to see a scary story before we go to bed. Ha. He has heard sasquatch below yosemite while camping. Keep up with the great hikes and videos. I look forward to them.
Chris Your awesome man. Im glad your doing well!
Thank you Tim, I'll be working on some more trips!
@@basecampchris your spot in this video would be awesome in the summer!!
Nice experience sr!....
Thank you Arturo, It was quite a snowstorm!

Reminds me of the Jack London short story : "To Build a Fire". Good show!!
Thanks Art! That was a good story.

Nice hike chris what a magic spot, winter is just starting for us here down under. never done a snow camp/hike but its on my list. keep hiking mate love your vids.
It was actually mt first time camping in the snow...I had to pick a snowstorm! I snowshoe a lot though. Yes...beginning of winter down under....been a long one up here! Thanks for watching!
Great social distancing! You are a braver man than I, but gosh, was it ever so beautiful! Thanks!
Thank you Gary, Yes...good social distancing! Much needed snow...going to help the rivers this summer!
@@basecampchris Yes indeed, for it was getting scary dry!
Chris, you’re a sucker for punishment! Awesome camping equipment!
PS…I don’t have Togo into the woods to see a herd of deer, I just have to look out into my garden, they like to bed down in the back garden.
Chris. The wife and I love your channel, your content is superb. Keep up the good work🎺
Thank you very much Tarris, I appreciate the support!
Nice video,like they say No bad weather,just bad gear!
Yes- my gear made the difference! Thanks for watching!
Hi. LIKE. VIDEO.
Nice video would love to camp there it's been in the 80's here in the south and the mosquitoes are awful. I subscribed after watching this video keep up the great videos.
Hey Funyun Maker, Thanks for subscribing...Yeah I caught a little snow up here!
You seem so relaxed camping in the snow, whereas most people would panic in this type of scenario.
HI Josh, I did enjoy it...maybe growing up in Minnesota helps! Hope your doing well...it's been quite a week for us!
@@basecampchris you're impervious to the cold.
I wonder if you read comments from videos you post years ago? I just watched this one and enjoyed it so much! It sure looked like you passed a young Sasquatch on your right as you were leaving! Nestled back underneath the bows of the snow ladened tree, relaxing watching you! Right at 16:09 when you said "...while I was packing up..." kind of creepy.
Great vid chris.
Yr a brave man 👍
Thanks Andy... it was a good trip.
@@basecampchris
Hi Chris
I guess yr on lock down same as brits
Yall Keep safe over the pond.
Great video chris, Sue Madre
Thanks Sue Madre...Enjoyable but a snowy/wet trip! "Keep Hiking!"
HELLO.
You gave me a heart attack when you fell
Thanks! Yes surprised me...ground was soft with the snow though.
Creek stones will explode, be careful. Happened to me..
Thanks for the heads up... ⛺️
I remember reading about that. 👍👍
That was a great video. The snow was beautiful on all of the trees. That looked like an Osprey Atmos backpack. What size was it?
HI John...Thanks! it is the Atmos 65L...works very well for me!
Thank you for sharing your video, always very entertaining. Can you tell me what boots are you wearing and which headlights?
Very welcome! The boots are Western Chief leather uppers ( similar to a Sorel Caribou ) Petzl Actik Core 450 Lumens on the headlight. ( amazingly very bright ) $69 bucks - not cheap but when night falls I'm always happy with it.
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Don't use wet river rock for your fire pit. They can explode.
I’m trying to head up into the sierras in the next couple weeks.. still plenty of snow but they say no fires! Kinda ruining it for me
I'd be worried about cooking ground beef and inviting unwanted guest for dinner
Sure hope no coyotes or bears where you are setting up at
It is bear country...but no problems. Thanks!
Did you make it out?!???
Hi Dave, Yes...but, it was very slow going...it was closer to 4 feet! Thank you.
Das klein Zelt ist schon
Unter das Tannenbaum ist besser sicher geschützter für das Zelt ne
Es tut mir leid das der Mann gefahlen ist der hat jetzt kein auer oder
GREAT. CAMPING.
