Epic Camp Spot in Utah - Living out of my Jeep

A few days in central Utah camping and cooking some good meals out of my Jeep. Always nice to spend some time overlanding in the desert before it's too hot. HOW I FIND CAMPING: thedyrt.com/promo/drew90 - 3 FREE Months of the DYRT PRO with code "drew90"

Thanks for watching guys! Ended up getting the Jeep weighed this past week! Any guesses on the weight?!

[@moe_1886]

2.75 tons? (5500lbs?)

[@sims4u422]

450,000 Kilograms which are 496.04009 LBS I think.

[@namunyoska2]

5200-5400 lbs

[@Perigault]

I’m gonna go with 6000 to 6500 lbs

[@phstudio100]

My guess is 350 to 400 pounds over GVWR

This 21 minute video is better then anything I’ve watched on tv in a really long time. Thanks you

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear it 🙌🏻

[@bishop198666]

watching the garbage man pick up the garbage this morning is better then 99% of crap on tv. not a good comparison. but yes i agree with your statement.

[@event__horizon]

You shouldn't watch tv at all, haven't done it in over a decade, doing so frees your mind.

[@mariecruz5509]

I love this format. You are show casing your cinematography . With a beautiful scenery like this, no need for a voice over. I was mesmerized! Great job.

[@mariecruz5509]

The scenery speaks for itself! Epic! Thank you so much!

[@aking142]

I like when you narrate, but this was a very peaceful relaxing video. No matter how you do it, always enjoy it. Just keep doing it thank you.

[@drewsimms]

Looking for a nice balance between the two moving forward!

Let's appreciate the fact that he got out of the car, run to place the camera somewhere further, ran back to the car, took the shot, then get camera and finally next stop.

[@hewen8199]

This might be the best video i've ever seen on youtube. it didn't strike me as unnarrated - the editing gives it all the narration it needs imho - i mean it's telling a story, clearly and beautifully without words. It's a story of nature, and an experience of nature. Words would be inadequate, would probably bring the level of narration down. Hope you'll explore this style more in future.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks for the feedback and the kind words! Definitely think this style is a bit more enjoyable for me to film and edit! Glad you enjoyed it

[@christiangarcia-wq8ct]

I have to say, I'm a huge fan of your work! amazing cinematography, visually appealing and music to perfection. This absolutely brings peace in my soul. I'm currently deployed in the Middle East , still a long ways out before home, all I see is bunch of sand around me. the joy of seeing green vegetation and beautiful scenery keeps me "alive". KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

[@Glenn.Cooper]

I don't have anything new to add to the comments. This video is AMAZING!! The cinematography is some of the best I've seen, and it shows the incredible effort and creativity that you bring to your videos. Very well done!!

You should film a full Day In A Life!

This is pretty much a day(s) in the life but I think I will do a more raw version soon!

Yeah it's crazy how getting away from civilization to relax in nature means bring civilization with you.

This was absolutely mesmerizing. I got so lost watching this, the way you filmed it, literally transports the viewer. The scenery is BREATHTAKING and the night shots were outstanding. Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

22:00 of pure joy, my words cannot adequately describe just how much I enjoy this style of adventure film making. HUGE thumbs up from me Drew. Outstanding.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks for the support and the kind words!

[@jimmysando99]

Cinematography master-class. Impeccable framing, simple yet perfectly timed transitions with subtle audio cues. Letting the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape do the talking all topped off with some epic astro-videography. Great work mate 🤜🤛🙏

[@TheBadBone23]

One of the best videos I've seen about camping...I would pick this type of videos instead of those narrated ones any time.

[@timothydecoursey7546]

Beautiful. I like the silence. The video did speak for itself which is a quiet, off grid, beautiful country, with a view.

[@jimsclub8080]

19:40 The Milky way. Best part of the video ~

[@greekfire1875]

Friendly Coffee Preparation Recommendation: When pouring the hot water onto your coffee grounds, slowly circling the inside of the rim keeps the grounds from sticking to the sides and gives them more time to steep at the bottom of the filter. You get stronger-tasting coffee and/or spend less on beans.

[@rangerdoc1029]

Or just get an Aeropress

[@eveanddell]

Every shot is perfection. Makes me want to quit my day job, get a Jeep, some camping gear and a camera and head west. Oh, and bring some delicious food.

[@uni-ted3223]

[@DigitalSketcher]

I think it's important for content creators like yourself to keep doing what you do. Our country is a beautiful one and I think more people need to go out and see it in person. But for those of us who can't, seeing it through your eyes is the next best thing.

[@TheSarcasticAsh]

Thank you brother for letting us see this beauty of the world.

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Wow so beautiful. The wind here would blow you right off there lol I will watch more of your videos. Love the quiet. Love hearing the birds. Govt here wants to outlaw gas bottles so we can't be self sufficient or go camping. We have to have a toilet onboard or a daily $200 fine. Now govt talking about needing a separate room on board for the toilet. It's crazy!

[@ashleys5453]

Wonderful cinematography, Drew. And that meal looked delicious! What a gorgeous spot, too. I'm taking notes. Building my adventures bucket list

[@happyperson8740]

What a great reminder to my summers in Utah! I try to tell people in Austin, TX that they haven’t a clue to what a mountain landscape is all about. This video definitely is a reminder of the beauty of Utah’s various landscapes.

Hey drew! Thank you for sharing your adventures. My 2 year old and I binged watched your longer videos the other day he can never focus on anything. He absolutely loved the drone shots haha. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@OscarShu]

When I saw the thumbnail, I saved this episode to watch on my projector screen instead of the phone, and Oh…my…God…i knew it would be good, but did not know it’s this good! 1.The La Sal cliff at the beginning is so amazing that it could be one of these perfect moments of life. 2. I appreciate how you recorded those details like how you driving there, how everything happening with so many different camera angles. I can imagine how much effort you put in the every shot, totally worth it. 3. The Milky Way Timelapse at the Temple of Sun/ Moon is so clean, pure awesomeness! Not many people would stay there overnight to shoot that. I especially like how you put two lights at the Temple of Sun/ Moon to light them up in the darkness, very creative. In my opinion, this is by far one of the best videos of this channel. Thanks for showing it to the world.

[@Eric_Broome]
