@ Tim, A month ago had to rebuild my ford ranger engine because the cooler before the egr valve had a leak and sucked all the coolant through the engine. It was a barely noticeable coolant loss at first and pressurerising the radiator system showed no leak. Cost me a couple of thousand bucks. You might want to have an eye on that.

Cool upload thanks! You're warmer in the tent off the ground because the ground is cold. It's the same reason you want an insulated air mat in the winter. I'd take the raised over the ground any day. I use a bivy and mat when hunting elk in Colorado, sometimes just a tarp an mat.

If you put a skirt around the raised tent it would keep an air pocket under the tent and would be warmer than the one on the ground.

We hiked/backpacked this trail 8 yeas ago and hit all three 14ners. Based camped at Blanca lake (great camping spot) and caught a bunch of trout. We started in my ‘08 JK, but no other rigs with us and didn’t want to risk going as a single rig. Turned out to be the move with huge fall down trees blocking the trail at the time. Loved it, need to go back and run my rig to the top.

[@baloghlcb]

Man even on easy trails, when you get that lean towards the edge it definitely makes you pucker up. Couple years ago when were were out there and my niece's cousin rode with me, she had to look away from the edge like Hope was doing 😂.

[@roynemmers7323]

I went up the Mount Blanca trail about a year after the deadly accident you talked about. We rescued someone that was sliding off of the Jaws 1 or 2 obstacle. Got them back to a safe place and headed back down the hill while we continued up. My friends Amigo lost power steering but he chose to continue up, about 1/2 way up he dislocated his thumb when the steering wheel turned violently on all of those rocks. We had to turn around and get to a safe place so we never made it to the top. I wish we had as it looks gorgeous up there. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.

Awesome views, very beautiful places. About engine issue on JL - unfortunately I had the same issue on my Toyota FJ - firs it was just missing spark in one cilinder and then when I drive to the mountains temperature starts going up and down. As the result - head gasket said goodbye and hello the engine rebuild. But Toyota brought me home that time!!! But it’s cost me not just gasket replacement but total engine rebuild. Because of overheating couple times. Good luck with that, and waiting for the new adventures!!!!!

It's all about the r-value for staying warm while sleeping. The ground will for sure sap heat from your body. Most likely Matt's tent was way thinner than the cot that Colt has. Adding an air pad or more layering between you and the ground will help you stay warm

[@russellayton6408]

For sure the ground will rob body heat. I have camped /hiked my whole life and learned that as a cub scout. I have never been without an insulant pad sleeping in the woods if I am tenting it.

When it gets cold at night I'll wear socks and a hat along with thermal underwear.

Matt, I get cold at the drop of a hat as well...always have (low BP) but I have to agree with Colt, I have a tent cot and a good sleeping bag and I stay warmer than being on the ground.

Fantastic trail. I went to the sand dunes with my son in 2020. We took road 559 which I think turned into the trail you took to the dunes. FYI we have been seeing 2nd gen 3.6 with head/ bock issues. It’s just like yours it’s normally cylinder #5. We pull the head off and find a small line between cylinders 3@5 . We take a picture of the line submit to powertrain and replace the engine.

That is interesting you mention Rick Russell at the start of the video. Back in 1992 I partnered with Rick and was responsible for shooting, editing and duplicating of all his videos. Our partnership lasted for 15 years and it was an amazing experience. After the first year with Rick I bought my first Jeep and am now on my 4th. I remember videoing this trail plus and many others in Colorado for a two part series we were doing. Your videos of Colorado bring back some great memories. Keep up the good work.

[@johnwinkler6575]

When I woke up this morning the first pop up on my phone was Medano pass One of the deadliest trails in Colorado. My first thought was this guy smoking too much of Colorado wacky weed. You had me hooked I had to watch. The guy wearing the oxygen was right we never aired down only in the dunes. We never air down anywhere on trails. But Medano does have deadly spot on the east side not far after you get into the national Forest there’s a plane crash. You’re about the same age as my middle son and you’re right we used to drive in the creek on the backside of the dunes I was just looking at those pictures the other day. For us that was our favorite spot back in the mid 80s all the way up to the 2000s. Every year at the first of summer we made that trip and then we head north to Vila Grove eat a bowl of chili then head back over Hayden pass and head home. Anywhere on the Sandy’s is home.

[@sportsterrider37]

The main thing about camping in the cold is getting something between you and the ground. You need some type of insulation or the ground will suck the heat out of you. If you are going to ground tent, you need some type of air mattress or something to act as insulation. Also, jumps like that with temp can indicate air bubbles in the coolant. The sudden temp spike is the sensor reading the air.

[@californiasun5866]

In the Army in Germany, we had a big squad tent. It had facilities for a kerosene stove. But we only had the stove on one outing. I remember one time, I don't remember where I first tried sleeping, but I think it was outside. It was too cold there. There was no one sleeping in the squad tent when I entered. I thought just sleeping off the ground on a cot would keep me above the cold. But my feet got cold and I couldn't sleep at all. I finally got an air mattress, but was too tired to air it up. Still it did a good job keeping the cold from coming through the canvas of the cot, even without any air. An air mattress would not work without air on the ground for sure.

[@matthewhatton3637]

Nice to see y'all hitting a trail I recommended 🤙. For the tent question I sleep in a ground tent but if I was in a wet area and there could be standing water I would have to go with the tent off the ground. Oh and if you look in the distance not far from that Gator farm you will see a good friend of mine's farm 😂

[@ljhamhock436]

wheelin' a broken rig is an even bigger challenge. I came out of the cascade Mt. range in the middle of winter at 1 am on 7 cylinders and a steering box that ripped itself off the frame rail once. Sounded like a bloody CanAm and had less than 50% steering and no headlights. At one point I said "screw it" and floored it to get up an ice coated hill. I drove up a fallen tree for traction like a stripper on a pole on dollar beer night, seesawing the steering back and forth for traction on the trunk to the top. I got up and out somehow.

[@chrisfusco1108]

Colorado is a Jeep lovers dream.

[@ThePhotofred]

20 years ago, Medano was a lot of fun. Now with all the traction mats in the sand, it's kind of boring. Been up Blanca many times in my 76 full size Cherokee. I was up there as well the week before the guy rolled off of J2. I myself put my Cherokee on its top at jaws 3 in 2005. Flipped it over and drove out on it's own power. As far as jaws one goes, my favorite line was the third one the red jeep took. Cool vid for sure.

[@redcanyonl6636]

There’s a story that in the 1800’s there was a hotel at Lake Como. The tourists were transported in horse drawn wagons. It’s an exciting trail for sure.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Cot tent less crawlies and not having to get off the ground is better, but just being up there I'd settle for the piece of tarp and a swag, glad you all had a great time, all the best to yous and your loved ones

[@josiatokirina1788]

Ultimately the use of a self inflating Thermarest/insulating cushioning foam mattress is the warmest and most comfortable. The cold air cannot flow under it like it can with a cot or hammock. It is also cooler in hot weather, because the ground will be cooler than the hot air flowing under a cot or hammock. This tip is from my many years of camping in all weather conditions during wilderness kayaking trips.

[@OffgridJT]

Great job on the videos, You are by far my favorite to watch on KZbin. Thanks for sharing your experiences out there on the trail and the informative how to’s

[@jimotten6206]

If you have to keep adding coolant, and there’s no visible leaks anywhere, it’s usually a head gasket, if you have the V-6 that’s usually what it is. Safe travels home. Good luck

[@brettnipps7205]

Great vid Bleepin' folks...... you have very brave wives!!!!! I think Matt did a little more surfing than Colt. As far as the question of tents go Colt said "best for everything" I would not choose to be elevated for everything. I dont want 20 degree winds blowing below me as well as over me let alone the added chance of the tent launching in high winds. Matts tent needs a proper rain fly so it can breathe and condensation escape. BUT for car camping Colts is probably better. Thanks for the videos keep them coming. 👍

I’ve been exploring Colorado for the last month and a half and have unofficially declared the aspen as the *colorado guardrail*

29:56 Gorgeous trails for sure. Wish I could go there and see that in person.

I have a Cot tent and forgot who makes it,but it's the single person model, and I'll take that over a dome ground tent anyday, got down to the low 30's a few nights in Colorado and I stayed nice and warm with a plus 30° sleeping bag!

My hat is off to you guys that's a gutsy ride

Matt, in the winter if your sleeping on the ground you need some type of insulator, a half inch thick pad works great, between you and the ground. The ground will suck your bodies warmth out and you can easily become hypothermic. Seen this first hand in the Mojave at Fort Irwin Nat. Training Center when one of our guys had to be medevac'd after sleeping on the dirt with just his sleeping bag. Hypothermia can creep up on you and your body can reach a dangerously low core temp. which can become deadly if not treated in time

2nd Jeep shows what lockers could/would do in these situations. I have always said that the JK/JLs run waaaaayyyyy too hot. Heat wrecks engines especially head gaskets like you said. If I owned a 3.6 (mine is an LT powered JK) I would modify the program and set a 185F thermostat in there.

My wife and I were hiking Blanca on 8/3/02, heard the crash on Jaws 2 and were on the scene within minutes. There was a boy scout troop also on the trail that afternoon. In that unfortunate fatality the Jeep didn't go over the side but end over end backwards down the road and continuied off at the switchback. The jeep without a hard top (can't rember if it had a bikini top) came to rest on it's side with a tall aspen tree threaded through the roll bar. I assested for a bit, there was nothing to be done for the driver. The Sherif who responded was absolutly flying up the trail driving a scrambler to get to the accident.

You guys are awesome love watching you both God bless you and your family

Getting up off the ground is one technique for preserving body heat. The ground saps your heat at night. Air is a really good insulator. That's how the sleeping bags work. They keep a lot of between your body and outside and air changes temperature fairly slowly. Water even slower. That's why sometimes if you're night fishing the water feels bathtub warm because it does feel really warm compared to the air because it's still warm from daylight earlier and the contrast feels more severe on your cold fingertips

The San Luis Valley is gorgeous no matter what.
