Chris, After working two twelve hour shifts from 11am to 11pm in this sweltering 106 degree eastern Oregon heat I can tell you that the mountains of Colorado look like heaven! The snowy peaks and cool rushing streams make me want to pack the Jeep up and leave for the mountains, but reality hits home and alas, I am about out of vacation time for this year. We really enjoyed this weeks episode. Thanks for taking us along!
High Mountain Pies!!! One of my favorite pie joints in the west. I lived in Leadville for over 10 years in the 90s & 00s, this vid is making me mighty homesick for those mountains. I spent a whole lot of time in them and probably traveled all of those same trails in this episode. I was a Search & Rescue EMT those years and been up most of the peaks in summer & winter on rescue missions. Amazing to me how busy town was, but not surprised. I have to get back sometime soon. Thanks for sharing.
UA-cam algorithm is really dropping the ball if you only have 68k subs. This channel should be 1mil + based on quality and upload consistency! Amazing work!
Beautiful scenery, well shot! Still no sightings of the elusive Shannon. We know she is there because, 1)the Revel is not self driving, 2)Chis is smiling a lot, and 3) he is wearing shirts with collars. 😁Enjoy the wonderful outdoors!
For everyone asking about the Texas plates - I can't answer for Chris, but a lot of full time travelers establish Texas residency because there's no state income tax and it's relatively easy to get residency. There are a few other states that are also popular for the same reason, but if you have family or friends in Texas it makes a really good "home base" when your real home travels with you.
It's also in the middle of the country, which makes it a lot easier to get to the PO box. He used to have his Jeep registered in PA and I always thought that seemed impractical.
@@thecorpsofdiscovery Just for accuracy, the Mt plates are registered to an LLC. It has more to do with corporate law than personal finances. Which is why it is so controversial to use them for personal vehicles.
Define “world class”, like the slums of some third world country or a pristine mountain meadow where only the ambitious hiker gains access, not the jeep operating lazy go.
Cool, appreciate your comments on different size rigs that can make the trails around there. I have a full size overlander and as always it is a gamble which roads will work for me
Chris thank you for taking me along. I’ve always loved the mountains of Colorado although I haven’t visited in many years. My wife and I are now “desert rats” in very southern Arizona. Yes it’s hot and dry but I’ll take that over shoveling snow anytime… Stay safe out there
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for taking so much time every day to capture the footage that some of us are only living vicariously through… Your videos are a constant reminder that we need to go explore this wonderful planet
Another amazing video & captures of such a pretty area…. Headed out there this next week from my base camp here in Florida… hopefully one day we will see you all explore my state of Florida
Most good pizza ovens are domed. You know the domed lids that are sold with cheap woks? I find them often in second hand stores. They cover a field pizza well and seem to get a crisper, more cooked top. Failing that some second hand stainless bowls of the right size, a drill and some hardware store knobs also up the field pizza game.
Those trailing arms under your Jeep are looking like you'll need some bushings in the near future. Also if that isn't water on your gas tank you may have a transfer case leak going on..off to the guys at the 4wd shop. Best wishes and be well.
We have really been enjoying your videos. We've learned so much about gear, trails and many other aspects of overlanding and are about to embark on our own adventures. We are really curious about your sandwich iron. It looks like the perfect accessory. Would you mind sharing some information on it? Thanks!
Hey I love seeing you in Leadville Colorado I am there all the time and my parents my aunt were there last week when you were there. my dad has tons of relatives in Lancaster Pennsylvania too so we keep following each other but we live here in Denver
Nice, we have a Revel (use to have 87 VW Westfalia, what an upgrade) heading to Colorado from our home in Utah in August we will have to check out Leadville area based on your video. THANKS
We use to fish and camp at Turquoise lake every weekend in the summer, I remember a time being at twin lakes on the 4th of July and it snowed 10 inches lol the trout fishing was awesome
What a brilliant episode Chris, the base camp location was stunning but was surpassed by the truly epic camps you found yourself. As for the hiking you don’t have to summit mountains to see the beauty of the Colorado wilderness.and on a geeky level that footage from under “Orangie” is always a great addition 😉
The powertrain has a different tone to its operational noise. Also noticed what appears to be oil stain from your chassis camera position. Might want to get that checked out. If the case is leaking, that could get expensive real quick
I saw on one of your video you have the Air swaybar replacement and you use it. My question is do you use your lockers very often? You have a Rubicon and I wonder they are really needed. Thank you for all your videos.
What a coincidence. A bunch of my friends were just in Leadville running the Leadville Marathon. (One of the hardest marathons in the world because of the elevation) No chase of finding me doing that though. haha
As a Coloradoan Native, I love this state, but those who do not understand how to leave no trace, please leave yourselves out of this precious and now overcrowded area. Thanks to Chris (Venture4wd) for being such a great and respectful person on leaving no trace. Note that I just returned from a week long trip just West of Fairplay where already smoke from forest fires were devastating and so early in the summer.
Awesome footage Chris.... Love Snowmobiling in Leadville Colorado. FYI there is a great little Mexican restaurant in town, excellent home made salsa. By the way what happened to the Key Stone State plate? Safe travels Perry
@@albeenamelast6620 he has always eaten like he’s trying to kill himself.Shannon feeds him good healthy food but when left to his own devices-hotdogs,cheeseburgers,cereal,bagel pizzas or some other nasty pizza concoctions.😂
The mountains and the trails you chose were a delight to watch. I agree, I would've wanted to stay 2 nights at a couple of those spots and do some hiking. See you changed the plate on Orangey to TX, just curious why? Logistical? Economy?
I just took CO Hwy 82 on Independence Pass, part of Colorado State Highway 82, passes over the Continental Divide between Leadville and Aspen, Colorado to bypass a closed section of CO Hwy 50. I am so glad I did. It obviously does not come close to what is being shared here, but the paved drive DOES show how glorious this part of CO is. Highly recommend.
I was on that same road awhile back headed home with my family and we stopped at a small state park between Aspen and the pass to use the vault toilet. The park was wedged between 2 mountains with a small but swift river passing by. There was a wooden bridge going over the river and I went halfway across to see the views. There was a guy fly fishing on the rocks about 100 yards down stream. My wife came up and said “babe, we gotta go, you coming?” I handed her the keys and told her I’m staying here.
Yep I noticed that and looks like his fuel cell is covered by in fluid..maybe a transfer case leak? Also his trailing arms look like bushings are loose .
It looks like hard jostling at times. Is that a consideration for the roads you take? I have a low jostle threshold and would be backtracking on some of those roads.
For those who do not live in Colorado... These areas are the very reason I moved here in 2008. The timeless landscapes are amazing to see in person. Enjoy your time here Chris. :)
seriously, there are many beautiful places around the country and world, but colorado consistently amazes me, pretty much anywhere you go, its beauty as far as the eye can see, yes even in the east.

Nice time lapse and slow mo sequences!! Great to see you enjoying the creative process!
Beautiful scenery, well shot and well edited. Your cool and relaxed energy is soothing. Thanks Chris for sharing all of that with us!

Interesting observation about the shirt... I was going to comment on it as well.
Blowtorch pop tarts...I've found something new to try. You never disappoint, Chris.
That grunt/growl you made getting out of the cold mountain stream gave me a chuckle. LOL! I love small towns. Good video. 😎👍🏻
Attention to detail is really showing. Excellent photography and beautiful scenery. Thank you so much for what you do.
19:06 - "Nah, lets go get pizza instead". There you go, summed up my lifetime kitchen career in one sentence. 🤦🏼♂️🙂👍🥳
Colorado is so beautiful. I’ve been looking forward to these Colorado videos!
Where will we be in 100 years?probably not around but your jeep will be in a museum,with all these wonderful videos.thank you for all your work
Love Colorado! Beautiful scenery.
Keep up the good work!
Cool video Chris. I like the slow motion shots.
Safe travels.

I couldn’t back up my slow internet but I swore those were Texas plates! Glad to know I’m not just seeing things.
same reason you see so many exotic cars or huge rv's / haulers registered in Montana lol.
@@thecorpsofdiscovery Just for accuracy, the Mt plates are registered to an LLC. It has more to do with corporate law than personal finances. Which is why it is so controversial to use them for personal vehicles.
I made a comment about a month ago asking why he still had PA plates. Probably saved hi,=myself thousands a year in taxes.
really nice touch with the mountain basin time lapse :)
How I love the area of Leadville, Colorado. I've been there a few times and it never lets me down. The beauty of the mountains is in every direction.
I have noticed the improved editing, keep up the great work!
Good pizza overcomes many obstacles. However, good pizza in an awesome place has unequaled superpower ! 👍🍕⛰😎😂
Muchas gracias, estupendo vídeo como siempre y siempre soñando con ver esos lugares.👍👍
Camp microwaved poptarts!! I dig your eating style! Matches mine perfectly.
Impressive. You found a couple of world class dispersed campsites in this video.
Define “world class”, like the slums of some third world country or a pristine mountain meadow where only the ambitious hiker gains access, not the jeep operating lazy go.
Cool, appreciate your comments on different size rigs that can make the trails around there. I have a full size overlander and as always it is a gamble which roads will work for me
Chris, as usual, home run on your video. Have a wonderful week.

Stay safe out there
Hey I just moved out of arivaca AZ. What area are you in?
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for taking so much time every day to capture the footage that some of us are only living vicariously through… Your videos are a constant reminder that we need to go explore this wonderful planet
Chris!! Awesome editing. I enjoyed the time lapse and slow motion! Beautiful episode!
my favorite Colorado destination~ will be there in august for a few weeks! really like the halfmoon creek area leading up to the old mill
Thanks for sharing this scenery with us.
Colorado is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this! 🥾🥾😁🥰
Yo - chris. Thanks for the foto of all needed to make your famous camp pizza.
a great adventure
Leadville has changed since I was born there. Back then the sidewalks were wood and mostly bars and soloons.
We just got back from Colorado in many if the same towns you were in. The possibility of passing you somewhere was mentioned more than once.
Another amazing video & captures of such a pretty area…. Headed out there this next week from my base camp here in Florida… hopefully one day we will see you all explore my state of Florida

I remember watching a documentary about the Leadville race . I think it's over 100 miles. Your approach is more relaxing to see the scenery 😄
As always beautiful country stay safe. 👍👍😀🇨🇦
I just traveled that area with my two sons. Beautiful place. Colorado is gorgeous. Can’t wait to go back!
8:16 Ahhh.... the breakfast of champions! Though I still prefer the ol' strawberry.

Great as usual Chris!
I used to live in B.V! I see you went to boathouse! Great restaurant

Great photography
WOW. Just WOW
Nice, we have a Revel (use to have 87 VW Westfalia, what an upgrade) heading to Colorado from our home in Utah in August we will have to check out Leadville area based on your video. THANKS
Hi Chris, At the 9:40 mark on your video there appears to be oil on your fuel tank. Have you checked for any leaks to the underside of “Orangy”.
Colorado's beauty seems endless. More, please.
Beautiful video!
NEVER TOO MUCH OREGANO OR GARLIC!!!! Always enjoy your video's. Keep em coming!
Lost it when you broke out those pop tarts! Get it Chris!
You my friend, have a serious pizza addiction 😂😂😂
Beautiful video.
Maybe its time to dig the red kayak out again and add it to your base camp vehicle!
We use to fish and camp at Turquoise lake every weekend in the summer, I remember a time being at twin lakes on the 4th of July and it snowed 10 inches lol the trout fishing was awesome
I'd say that pizza is the most impressive and challenging thing you've ever cooked . I'd eat it .
definitely too much oregano
The sad pizza seems like a skit at this point. I laughed SO HARD this time. Maybe the 30th time we have seen him eat that?
Great Video Great Life.
Great video thank you!
Great vid. You've got a new subscriber!!!
What a brilliant episode Chris, the base camp location was stunning but was surpassed by the truly epic camps you found yourself.

I just noticed you now have Texas plates on the Jeep. I guess I should say “Welcome to Texas”
Ha I came to make the same comment..used to be PA plates. I love Texas..used to live in Gonzales TX.
They both work with tech so kinda makes sense to be based out of TX.
I LOVE WHAT YOU DO
Anybody else notice the Jeep now has Texas tags on it-not Pennsylvania anymore?
Well, if you’re going for pop tarts - I approve of that flavor ( brown sugar/cinnamon).
What a coincidence. A bunch of my friends were just in Leadville running the Leadville Marathon.
(One of the hardest marathons in the world because of the elevation) No chase of finding me doing that though. haha
Great video as usual
Chassis cam……..dig it. 🤘
Chris does States like Colorado still make you pay the 4x4 off Road use permit? Just curious years ago we had a$35 a year permit fee
Chris, when well you be in Montana,Dakotas Minesota and South Canada?
And thank you for that little bit of night video
As a Coloradoan Native, I love this state, but those who do not understand how to leave no trace, please leave yourselves out of this precious and now overcrowded area. Thanks to Chris (Venture4wd) for being such a great and respectful person on leaving no trace.

Texas plate. Awesome👍
Beautiful! I spend a good deal of time out there near Buena vista. was this up near turquoise lake by any chance? 105?
I notice that your Jeep has Texas plates now. Just curious about the change.
Awesome footage Chris.... Love Snowmobiling in Leadville Colorado. FYI there is a great little Mexican restaurant in town, excellent home made salsa. By the way what happened to the Key Stone State plate? Safe travels Perry
When do we get introduced to Shannon? Or did I miss that?
You didn't miss that
We don't need to see her, but she does need to start packing a lunch for Chris! Pizza twice and a top tart who eats like that?
You don’t want to see her.
She’s the most integral equipment outside of Orangy
@@albeenamelast6620 he has always eaten like he’s trying to kill himself.Shannon feeds him good healthy food but when left to his own devices-hotdogs,cheeseburgers,cereal,bagel pizzas or some other nasty pizza concoctions.😂

Do the 550 pass from Silverton west ... the million dollar 🛣 highway.
Love the questionable food choices. Note to self... buy poptarts before next camping trip.
we took some to Utah last month, a quick snack that wont melt, not sure about breakfast tho, thats what dough -nuts are for
Does it seem like Orangey is whining louder in low range than usual?
Yep I noticed that and looks like his fuel cell is covered by in fluid..maybe a transfer case leak? Also his trailing arms look like bushings are loose .
Why you don't just get Starlink for the van? So that you can both be fully remote but connected.
Starlink is in beta and isn't mobile as of yet.
@@metaxaanabeer what do you mean? It has been out for a while
It looks like hard jostling at times. Is that a consideration for the roads you take? I have a low jostle threshold and would be backtracking on some of those roads.
Good work Chris!
Wow, I can see the difference in a full frame camera, in this csse the Lumix s5.
why do you have texas plates on you jeep ?
Hi Chris! Awesome as always! Just noticed, how long have you been registered in Texas?
For those who do not live in Colorado...
These areas are the very reason I moved here in 2008.
The timeless landscapes are amazing to see in person.
Enjoy your time here Chris. :)
seriously, there are many beautiful places around the country and world, but colorado consistently amazes me, pretty much anywhere you go, its beauty as far as the eye can see, yes even in the east.
Looking forward to when you get a Insta360 camera on your rig.
My videos suck, but if I could do better, they would be like yours. I enjoy your style and pace. Thanks for the great content sir.
The traces of what’s left of America in 100 years is a scary thought…
I just noticed the Texas plates on the Jeep? Are you giving up your PA plates?
Yes, please let us know. I’ve noticed that too
@@glennc8761 i noticed that in the prior video and was expecting Chris to address this.
Texas is a good mid-point for his adventures.
@@richardgroves5559 not at all .... Colorado great midpoint
Watch previous episodes and you’ll figure it out
That is seriously some harsh terrain!
