Off-Grid MOUNTAIN Car Camping With My Dog!⛰️

[@harveythepooka]

If no one's said it, you can just turn off wifi/put on airplane mode to test the maps before you go out into the wilderness. Chase's burrito song was super cute and I'm glad you had a great time. I've never heard of this place but it was beautiful. But if you want to post on a schedule and also not feel pressure, it's ok to post some "lower quality" videos. I honestly think most people like Q7A tip videos etc once in a while, stuff that's easier and quicker to do than these adventure videos. Safe travels.

[@Maximoootom]

Awesome. Those are camper cabins. Free camping for hikers or whoever who may need shelter.

[@defend223]

Don't stress over the videos, life's too short. Enjoy the now your experiencing

[@michaelstephenson1585]

Thanks! I really love your work! I think this is your best vid. Please continue the great content! Hope you and Chase have many more adventures to share with us.

[@ChristineMeachum]

Wow! 🤩 Thank you so much for the generous donation! ....and your kind words! I feel so blessed to have supportive people like yourself on this journey with me! Thank you!!! 🙏🏼

I really needed a Chase & Christine video right now!

[@ChristineMeachum]

I hope you liked it! 😃 I appreciate you watching! 🙏🏼

@@ChristineMeachum that is the most beautiful location you’ve been to, so far. Also ,I know of at least 28.2K subscribers that love watching your videos, keep up the amazing work!💕

[@Marielle_F98]

I can only imagine the time, energy and dedication that it takes for you to create these beautiful and detailed videos each week and I appreciate it and look forward to seeing them every Wednesday 😊 What an incredible place and so peaceful. It's a struggle in the world we live in to stay off our phones for long but it's a good thing to do to fully connect with nature and the world around us. Chase looked so adorable wrapped up in his lovely coat 🐶

[@elahesaberi2703]

I love the moment that you woke up and said “it’s going to be a good day” and then showed Chase under the blanket. It melted my heart. How positive and beautiful. I love your spirit and positivity. I live in Iran though. That might be strange for you to notice you have followers from Iran♥️♥️♥️

[@EdwardHolliday-d6s]

You are the best beautiful person on u tube,a real human with a beautiful smile that makes people happy,your love for your dog is spectacular 🎉

[@belindamceathron304]

Love that you are getting out in the wild nature. You'll be hooked soon. I camp in the back of my SUV as well. Just a couple things to consider purchasing if dispersed camping...well I have a whole list, but will leave it to a few. Waterproof matches, bear spray, handwarmers and firestarters. All can be found at Costco or Cabelas. Oh and a book or 2. Another great video girl. Love the timelapse. 😊🌞🏕⛰

[@bonniecreevy2642]

It’s about time you went west. Can’t believe it took you so long lol. And rofl I’m pretty sure bears eat veggies and berries too 😂 Also (commenting while I watch) no gum won’t help altitude sickness. I think you’ll be fine unless you go over 10k quickly from sea level like I did once. If you get sick, just go down and head up slowly

[@alicial6072]

You should think about getting a GPS emergency locator, just in case you do break down etc. in a remote area where you don't have cell service and/or are out hiking by yourself, there are some that aren't that expensive, depends on what services you want, also some require monthly fees but you can do a month to month activation. I retire next year and i'm going to start traveling and I will definitely travel with one for just that reason, no cell service, also I'm older and I need to think about possible health issues.

[@DesignerFluid]

I strongly agree. I retired a few years ago but still cycle and use my mountain bike in the UK. I always take my Garmin InReach Mini with me for emergencies.

[@shopgirl_ny152]

Awesome video with spectacular footage. Christine, no problem; we will wait an extra day or two for your videos. We don't want you getting burnt out. I so enjoy tagging along with you and Chase to see where your next stop takes us. Chase is adorable, by the way.

[@ChristineMeachum]

Thank you!

[@larryreynolds8580]

What a beautiful video with your self care message. A valuable message we could all take advice from. Thank you Christine ❤. Also you're bravery is commendable!

You need a paper book and Marshmallow for heaven sakes😎🤓. Don’t forget us in Colorado 👍❤️

[@tedphillips2951]

Wonderful, beautiful & exciting adventure. Don't worry about volume, make the videos so you enjoy them. We are here for when you post them. I think your bear subscribers are laughing at your precautions.

[@LaurelWalker3555]

I love all your videos! I look forward to seeing them again and again. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us. Thank you for brightening up my bad days.❤❤❤

[@ChristineMeachum]

Aww! This means the world to me! Thank you for sharing that! 🙏🏼💫

[@ritasmoot1823]

I always appreciate the work you put into your videos! I love hanging out with you and Chase. Your videos could easily be a series on PBS stations. I could watch you guys for longer videos and be super happy. BUT, not at the expense of your mental health and the pressures that come with putting out such excellent quality work. I want you to take time for yourself and REALLY ENJOY what you have a chance to experience. I benefit when you take us along. Please do what it takes to enjoy your journey! Safe travels Christine! And remember to breathe it all in.

[@LSChestersMom]

Wonderful ! You may want a Garmin Inreach for times like this... it's great for emergencies :)

[@Tinkerplace]

Thank you for the upbeat positive vibes in beautiful scenery! Your unseen stress and worry is rewarded. I agree; go slow so you can enjoy - the creative mind needs a peaceful balance.

[@popspops3795]

Hi Christine. I'm really glad that you talk about filling out the empty time with your own thoughts. It is very important to reserve empty uninterrupted times for us to question ourselves, challenge our thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and behaviors. I'm happy for you and Chase for your experiences, your humbleness, kindness, and journey of personal and canine evolution. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy. Everything else is manageable. Pops

[@ChristineMeachum]

I agree! Thanks for watching!

[@DesignerFluid]

Another great video Christine. I live in the UK and whilst there are some beautiful places to visit here, I do love to see the natural beauty of land around the USA, thank you for sharing it with us. I’d like to see you go Off-Grid more often but if you do, please invest in a satellite communicator for emergencies - it’s essential in my opinion. I use a Garmin InReach Mini when cycling/mountain biking. Please give a big hug to my furry on-line buddy, Chase the dog!

[@anthonycdamico]

They say those who fail to plan, plan to fail, but without a plan, anything is possible! What an amazing adventure this one is! Thank you so much for sharing 🥂

Awe glad you got your first mountain / bear country experience! It's all I know since I live in the rockies.. And yes they are rocky 🤣 even rockier on the trails to the mountain peaks. Also it's made me realize over the years that I want /need a 4runner for the Roads. 😅

[@henryc.7778]

Hi Christine 🙂🌸 you are very special. After finding your channel a month or so ago, I have watched your videos made during quite a few months. You have a unique joy and wholesomeness. I find your warm friendly personality more interesting than even the pictures and sceneries. So you can take it easy with making videos, just iPhone selfie walking talking videos would be awesome already! 🙂

[@ChristineMeachum]

Thank you so much, Henry! Both for the financial support and the encouraging words!!! I super appreciate it! 🙏🏼

[@Suzie-he9ni]

Great footage. Especially, the fish jumping. Silly girl eating vegetarian. You and Chase are meat for bears. Lol

[@marywatkins6798]

Love your adventures. I lived for some years in CO and yes, the weather can turn on a dime in the mountains but the views are great. The wild animals early on in your video looked like mule deer. Be safe out there.

[@danielllleX]

I don’t think I’ve told you yet, but I just LOVE your new intro! Well, it’s not so new anymore….but in relation to the amount of time I’ve been watching you as a creator it’s new😎😂

[@ChristineMeachum]

I'm glad it made you chuckle 😆 I appreciate you watching! 🙏🏼

[@PupsforLIFE9]

As usual, this was a wonderful video, that I thoroughly enjoyed watching! In part because it was an unknown location that I know I will not get to, but also that it reminded me of mountain area trips in Austria and Switzerland. All the fast weather changes… sunshine one minute but than snowfall the next… warmth and then plunging cold. And of course the wildlife too. Laughed right out loud when I saw the marmot on the rocks😀. That is what they call them in Europe but we call them groundhogs, and they frolic all around the mountain areas there. Have traveled with my husband, as well as in groups, but also on my own, and have shared your same emotions of not having coverage and not really knowing where you are or what to expect, and nobody to ease the stress etc. You handled it all beautifully and were able to thoroughly enjoy your amazing surroundings, and describe it all so well to all of us. Don’t ever question the job that you do on your videos. They are always top notch, interesting, enlightening and engaging!!💕 Thank you for all that you put into your work, so that we all can also experience your adventures! Continue to stay safe and enjoy your travels with your fabulous furry soulmate, Chase💕🐾 Until next time…😊

Cut yourself a little slack Christine, your videos are well done. I get the Netflix thing, I have camped many times alone. You and Chase are doing brilliant 😊

[@PartyUpLive]

Another Amazing Video. You are getting so good at making content of yours and Chase's adventures. Another suggestion added to my list of places to check out. Such a Beautiful place. I'm getting ready to start going on my own solo road trips. Unfortunately none of my friends/family are into car camping or able to go. Maybe I need new friends? I do want to go to places like this but would definitely prefer it to be with someone instead of solo. Might check out vanlife meetups like someone suggested.

[@genosciacca1816]

After dealing with enough headaches of a bad situation (in your case a miserable office job) it forces you to make a change. I'm teetering on the fence about trying out the car stuff and tried the other day it's just I'm so used to filling my free time on a laptop in a house that when I was in the field experimenting with the idea I just went to a couple of stores and sat in a parking lot for 20 minutes and then went home. I doubt myself thinking it'll be the same scene instead of something different from what I've seen.

I look forward to your well made videos. I do hope you keep bear spray expensive but very important thing to have. My family loves to hike came up to a Mother grizzly and her cubs with no warning around a bend in Glacier in the late winter. Bison are faster than you think as well. So be well informed and safest to have that spray. God bless to you and sweet Chase. If you have not watched I recommend Foresty Forest a Canadian based youtuber whose hikes and drone footage are really good. You would enjoy his little dog Rocco (fur baby girl) as well.

[@simonsonjh]

Hah, that's funny; bears are primarily vegetarian. I've spent a lot of time with bears in Alaska. Your travel narration style is much like Rick Steves; did you model you style after him? Gum helps remove the pressure differential of the eardrum when changing altitude; it does nothing for altitude sickness, or hypoxia. Oooo, I like Patak's chickpeas too, with Basmati rice. Yum.

Hi Christine, your video is amazing and very entertaining. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time hoping you wouldn’t encounter any serious situations. If you ever take on a adventure that might require an extra buddy I would be glad to volunteer 😊. You shouldn’t stress about how many videos you make every week. Maybe you should take a month off to recharge. I’m sure all your fans would support you for doing that. Your health and happiness is the most important thing to all of us. You’ve given us so much of yourself, information about places to visit, adventures and enjoyment that we could never fully repay you.
