Another great video. Loved that drone backout night scene footage! "Beneath the Mountain" a great selection of background music. Not only for this video, but most of your videos. Look forward to your coming year content. Happy New Year, Noah!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Thanks Dennis! I was thinking of you when I selected Beneath the Mountain because you had commented on it before. Happy New Year to you as well. Hope you have a great 2024.

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Looks like an awesome time.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

It was an awesome time...love winter camping.

Merry Christmas, Noah to you and your family my friend!

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well Jason.

Nice to see the firecan in action. I just bought one for a trip to Valley of the Gods (no wood fires). Ill be wheels up 0400 on Thursday with the mutts. First couple of nights will be around Green River after a 9 hour drive, then VOTG for New Years.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

If you have not already done so, do the modification for more flame output. Video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6CanZxvrtSheLM If you're near Green River, there's some good camping out in Black Dragon Wash (can't camp in the canyon, but just past it is legal). Enjoy your trip.

[@ADW4RNR]

Grumpy, thanks for helping us all get away from the insanity. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and take the time to put the trip together. The beautiful camp spot was a little slice of heaven. I hope your 4Runner continues to take you on many fine trips. She’s a beautiful and faithful rig. She looks just as good as my ‘23. Merry Christmas and see you next year…

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

You're welcome Josh, glad you like my videos. Merry Christmas to you.

[@Fotobd]

Happy new year Noah, and really glad I came across your channel this year! You definitely inspired me to get out a bit more this summer and hopefully some this winter! Take care!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Happy New Year Brent! Glad to hear I inspired you and look forward to you putting out some more videos.

Thanks - will tune in again next year

Thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the outstanding adventures this year. I wish you and your family all the best and a great start to 2024. I’m going to try to get my little channel up and running.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

I wish the same for you and your family. Good luck getting your channel going, it certainly takes time.

[@Treetopflyer777]

Thanks for all the amazing videos in 2023. Looking forward to new ones in 2024. Wishing you and the Mrs a happy and healthy 2024.

Saw you pass my home today and figured I'd look you up! Gonna watch the year in review to catch up!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Hope you liked my year in review. I always wonder if anyone looks up my channel from seeing me out on the road.

I'm glad you are enjoying my videos and always nice to hear that my videos inspire people to get out there. Hope you enjoyed your Christmas and have a fantastic New Years!

[@darrensmall4313]

Looked like a nice spot to winter camp although I didn't recognize the area. Probably can't get to the good areas at Weston now! Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas and continued blessings in the coming year.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

It's Geneva Creek Darren. Good place for winter camping, too busy in the summer. You are probably right about Weston, but I am tempted to try. Merry Christmas Darren, thank you so much for your commenting on my videos, it is very appreciated.

[@sandravicens9081]

Is this area open all winter? Looks amazing.

[@darrensmall4313]

@@sandravicens9081 It probably is just depends on the amount of snow. I'm out of Colorado Springs area and camp a lot but haven't been there yet. Seems harder to find places away from people in the summer but winter camping is always very peaceful, just have to get there!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

@@sandravicens9081 As Darren indicated, it depends on snow. Usually they only close this area during mud season.

[@craigrobertson6082]

Just came across your channel...the little turkey icon and the the channel name were intriguing. Howdy from Canada. New sub, have started into your other video's now. Good stuff.

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Welcome Craig and thank you for subscribing. Glad you like what you have watched so far.

[@reggierespicio1177]

Love the videos. Keep them coming. What steel braided hose did you use for the firepit?

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

I got it on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07882PG6C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

[@NigelNaughton]

Nice sunny day...can't ask for more than that. What camera are you using for the handheld portions?

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

I am using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for the handheld portions...great little camera.

[@Ottercreekoverland]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. What model SetPower refrigerator do you have? Happy with it?

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well. I have the RV45D. I am fairly happy with it, it does seem to consume a lot of power when using the freezer section (as expected I suppose).

[@lex1691]

Any recommendations on dispersed sites around the Ft Collins area? Is there a way to exchange email/info privately? Thanks for another awesome year of camping!

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

I don't know of anything near Ft Collins, I have not made my way up there yet. You can send me a message on Instagram to communicate privately.

[@evp16]

What wind screen is that for the fire box?

[@TheGrumpyGobbler]

It's the Original Fire Reflector from MC Ranch Overland. Link: shop.mcranchoverland.com/products/the-original-fire-reflector
