A Calm and Cold Overnight Adventure, Oregon

In this short interpretive video we go for an overnight trip around Newberry Caldera area. It was very cold that night and fortunately we brought enough gear to stay warm. The trip was very relaxing to be out in such beautiful nature alone.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Nancy. I had visualized this video before the trip. All went well but I did miss my dream of sliding down the hill in the sled.

[@Oregontrailblazin]

[@brookeshaffer4377]

Really nice winter shots and music✨Loved the campfire🌟

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Brooke. I enjoyed the campfire! Would have had to retreat to the tent much sooner.

[@robbergstrom943]

Beautiful trip. There’s something extra special about winter camping. That night shot was stunning.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Rob! Everything is so clean, quiet, and clear in winter. I like it too.

[@johnfreeman1189]

Beautiful... Looked like a 3 dog nite!!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks. The dog was good company.

Hi Matt, beautiful video, loved the night sky, and the pink colors. Your videos are so well done, you can tell your heart is in them.

[@MattCookOregon]

I appreciate that. I only do videos when I have a very good feeling about them.

Wonderful to get out for a snowy winter camp! 👌❄❄❄

[@MattCookOregon]

Yes it is! Need to do more but baby isn't quite ready.

[@JenniferLupine]

@@MattCookOregon That will be super fun when he is!!

[@shawnfromportland]

that was beautiful and looks very challenging

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Shawn. That sled uphill was no joke.

[@richardchristensen3682]

Wow. I wouldnt want to camp in the snow myself but i can see it would be fun.

[@MattCookOregon]

I loved it! With snow survival and making a video I was very busy.

[@TheWorldAccordingtoJim]

Cold beautiful days in Central Oregon are the best! .... Our Landscape has so much to offer. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Jim. I was craving an outdoor experience like this after lots of indoor time for holidays. This hit the spot.

[@wildzenventures]

Blissfully peaceful! Really enjoyed watching this adventure! That night sky shot was amazing!! Thanks for sharing!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. I actually didn't know what I was doing with the night sky, new camera and still learning. But it showed the sky and that worked.

[@wildzenventures]

@@MattCookOregon well clearly you have some skills to get a shot like that 😉

[@JRMVlogsChannel]

Cool adventure, beautiful scenery!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much! It was a nice reward for some hard work.

[@OdySlim]

I wish I was back in Oregon. What a beautiful please to be. Regards from Ody Slim

[@MattCookOregon]

Yes it is. I hate to leave.

[@davidwalden411]

Thanks David!

[@antonioloredo8800]

Amazing drone shots and very good video...

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Antonio! This was a fun adventure.

[@lonewoodsman]

Great video Matt, I love those drone shots. I noticed I have the same camera tripod as you. I'll tell ya man, in my opinion there is nothing better than winter camping. And it looks like you had a great time. Thanks for taking us along. Take care my friend.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you woodsman! I saw that orange tripod too. It is a good balance of quality and lightweight. Yep winter camping is a very pure experience. Tougher and more rewarding.

[@louissaige5492]

Unique and amazing video btw helps me relax !

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much! I did go for a zen vibe here.

[@AdasOutpost]

Stunning video, absolutely beautiful.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much! This was a peaceful trip. Even when hauling the heavy sled uphill, I felt peace.

[@RVingwithG]

NICE... Well done buddy!

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much RVing.

[@elflordsjourneys]

Beautiful, I felt the warmth of your 🔥. How far did you hike?

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks. Only couple miles each way. But breaking trail uphill with a sled is not easy.

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

A really nice video with great drone shots.😀👍

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Lynn! Glad I had the time to fly it.

[@Dad_Woof]

Beautiful video. My favorite place. I couldn’t quite make out where you camped, nice little clearing. Thanks for sharing, I’ve never been there in snow.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. Yeah it has some good spots from the sno parks. The butte next to me looked even more clear, but they you get bad wind.

[@BeaglesBackcountryAdventures]

It may have been cold, but those views would make me stay! You've got some pretty awesome footage there. Well done.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much! I just had this itch to get out there and visualized the video before going.

[@milesm.69]

Love those night drone shots! That sunset was beautiful.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Miles. I found this spot in the summer and thought it would be perfect for a snow camp.

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

That’s a Dope spot Matt we need to talk about that one 😁 love the drone footage 🤙🏻

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks. Happy to chat about it, I didn't feel like mentioning the location in video but I know people could figure it out if they wanted.

[@TRANQUIL555]

So extraordinary. Beautiful scenery. It looks calm and peaceful. Thanks for sharing this beautiful moment of nature. I look forward to seeing more. Hope you have a great day.❤️👍👍

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you very much. Great views and sunset colors make my job easy.

[@OregonMikeH]

The Volcano has came to life again! Such a clear and beautiful night Matt, I was thinking how far away your fire might be seen from.Your dog loves lending a hand with the sled but clearly you enjoyed a huge share of the workout. For video content, this is my cake and ice cream. Every aspect of this video was greatly enjoyed and appreciated. Thank You Matt .... Shared! Mike.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Mike! That sled uphill was such a workout and so worth it. I was craving an experience like this after a bunch of indoor activities. It hit the spot.

[@OregonMikeH]

@@MattCookOregon That's Excellent, such exhilaration and reward! What a great ambience it had.

[@edruttledge342]

Excellent! Well thought out and edited. Great use of the drone shots - especially the dronie at 04:16. Stay safe.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Ed. I was doing the voiceover and noticed the video fit together and told the story so well on its own. So I muted myself!

[@brotherheed00]

The burning stump…from a previous camp or leftover from forest fire??

[@CBne1997]

I’m also wondering what that was.

[@MattCookOregon]

That was a weird sight. There were empty cheap beer cans behind it, so some weirdos being disrespectful. Not sure if the trees were already stumps before they got there or not.

[@northcoastoutdoorchannel]

That looked like a really cool adventure! I can imagine it was pretty tiring pulling all of that gear. Those drone shots at night were sweet and that shot of the stars was incredible! Did you have to bring your own firewood?

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Northcoast. That was definitely pushing the limits with that heavy sled. Since I had a sled I brought wood. Could possibly find it but always nice to have one less task to worry about.

[@toandfro2377]

I like how you did the reverse fire in that one scene. Nice work as usual but I definitely missed your signature voice. Also what brand of snow shoes do you like using?

[@MattCookOregon]

Thank you. I was wondering if anyone would notice the smoke falling in. I mostly did it so I could match it with the fire scenes after. I appreciate that someone missed my voice, I was kinda worried when I noticed the video seemed better without it haha. I have MSR mountaineering snow shoes. I used to have cheap costco ones and used those til they were broke and got some nice ones.

[@ShinyStickEC]

what a cool spot, i so want to do some winter camping next year. Just curious but what drone are you using?

[@MattCookOregon]

It is a lot of fun. Lots of gear needed so you don't get cold. I use a dji air2s.

[@RussellVineyard]

Your drone footage is awesome. I recently got a drone and now I wonder where it's been all my life. Great adventure, Matt. I'd love to get out into it, but after some traveling around the Southwest United States, I ended up with COVID.

[@MattCookOregon]

Thanks Russell. This was a fun and pure nature experience for sure. Hope ya get better soon.

[@RussellVineyard]

@@MattCookOregon I'm good to go now. I'm going camping in the snow on Tuesday.

[@exploreoregon2019]

how cold did it get and how deep was the snow where you were?

[@MattCookOregon]

Hi Tim. LaPines forecast was 0 degrees. This was up the hill, so maybe a couple under? I had snow shoes so I never went more than a foot into powder.

[@wildcreekoutdoors]

Fun videos! New sub here. I have been wanting to go winter camping again. It has been a long time for me. Keep it coming!

[@MattCookOregon]

Welcome! Hope you enjoy. Winter camping is great. All kinds of ways to do it.
