Snow Camping - Christmas 2016

[@jake-hy2zb]

Thanks for posting this. Very nice video. Your fortunate to have an area like that. We don't have anything like it here. Nice rig also. Well thought out. Mine is a few decades older than yours but still loves all kinds of weather. In fact so am and do I. Someone already asked about the tent. Thanks for the reply. I bought one for myself for Christmas hoping it would work well this time of year. Enjoy what we have while we have it.

[@MonsterJeep]

Right-on, thanks Jake...It's an awesome part of the country. I have a hunch you're gonna enjoy that tent. Happy Trails! :)

[@vcoonrod]

Great video - thank you! Must admit that I find snow driving scary, but your jeep makes it look doable for certain!

[@MonsterJeep]

Thank you Vannessa! It does take a little getting use to...and a well equipped vehicle makes all the difference. Thanks for watching! :)

[@brianochs9531]

[@MonsterJeep]

[@sandramccoy491]

awesome video . merry christmas to u also

[@MonsterJeep]

Hey Sandra, Thanks . And definitely...Merry Christmas! : )

[@budnixon]

Where was that "snow wall" if you dont mind me asking? around 5:00 on the vid

[@MonsterJeep]

That was on NF-58, up just before NF-5830 (the Hideaway Lake Road). They do that every year there.

[@budnixon]

copy... Drive over it? :) Remind me, are you running 35s or 37s? Obviously you are enjoying the beadlocks and putting them to good use... :)

[@MonsterJeep]

Nah, that would have taken some work. Maybe if I had me some 37's! :) (running 35's now. Love the beadlocks.) I thought about cutting that snag on the right and heading up the ditch, but I guess I wasn't feeling that ambitious. :-/

[@budnixon]

Love watching your videos, brings back so many memories from the past, and hopes for the future. God willing I'll be back in Oregon by summer, may be get a chance to jointly venture out :)

[@budnixon]

Btw, you monitor your analytics on the channel for views, etc???

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

A good adventure vid., thanks for posting

[@MonsterJeep]

Right-on Ron...thanks for watching! :)

[@schizzultz]

I like your elevated bivvy. I've had too many leaky tents and I'm done with them. These days I sleep in my vehicles, so I buy K5 Blazers, Cherokees, or trucks with shells. I've never had a newer Jeep unlimited, wonder how long they are inside. Waking up wet and cold, and putting away wet tents isn't my cup of tea anymore.

[@MonsterJeep]

I hear ya Schizzultz. Sleeping in the car isn't a bad gig. I've done it a time or two, but it's usually in the front seat with it kicked back. :)

[@JustinKingOffroad]

almost went myself on christmas for the night! great stuff! those look like ham handhelds...

[@MonsterJeep]

Right-on Justin, I see you're a hamster too! Those look like nice radios. I do carry a couple of handheld ham radios and the one on the hood there is actually a scanner. I've been thinking about installing my ICOM 7000 in the Jeep, but then I'd need to figure out where to put the 2m/70cm antenna at....

[@nederlander9321]

Pretty good incline once you get going up NF-58. Now if you had made it all the way up High Rock I would really be impressed. Now the wife wants to go snow camping. Believe I actually saw you driving down the street, SE 102nd Gateway, in Portland the other day and pointed your jeep out to my wife.

[@MonsterJeep]

Yeah, I was going to go to Hideaway Lake, but they had the snow wall in place right below the road turnoff. Your wife sounds like a real trouper. And I'm sure you saw me, I travel in that area often. Good eye, be sure to wave and say hi! Happy Trails! :)

[@mkleyn99]

5psi club?

[@MonsterJeep]

I only went down to 12 psi on this trip.

[@budnixon]

#5psiclub - I'm privatizing that hashtag... LOL :-) Anyone with Hutchinsons :-)

[@digitalartwerks]

Another great video. Are you happy with your cot tent? Seems to have a lot of advantages for use in the Pacific Northwest.

[@MonsterJeep]

Yeah, I'm definitely happy with the cot tent. It's fairly comfortable, keeps you off the ground or snow and it's easy and quick to setup or tear down. On the other side, it's a little bulky to pack and you have to keep it vented well in cold weather because it will sweat. Overall, it is my favorite setup to use on the trail. :)

[@digitalartwerks]

Thanks. I'm going to order it today along with a Kodiak Canvas Flex-Bow Tent.

[@MonsterJeep]

Nice...look forward to seeing them in action! :)

[@olegboczman]

У нас в России, примерно схожие погодные условия. Очень хорошо снимаете. Спасибо за видео.

[@markduncan6690]

Are you going to park this $$$ rig by your camp site?? Well of course you are!

[@budnixon]

I've shared links to some vids as well as directed to your channel folks from my russian blog, just curious on the amount of views it might bump you... joinly over 8000 subscribers on there...

[@MonsterJeep]

I have noticed a recent jump in views, at least 1 or 2 hundred a day. Thank you, appreciate the support. :)

[@budnixon]

not a problem, to me its interesting of how many of those "followers" are actual active users if that makes sense... Nowadays a lot of guys got channels with 100k subs, but they arent seen the views, so in reality numbers are actually way down.

[@MonsterJeep]

That does make sense. I always find it interesting when a channel has all these subscribers and no videos?

[@markduncan6690]

A Million Dollar jeep!!! Give me a break! Stay home with your money! Let the hourly rated guys do the heavy lifting!!

[@MonsterJeep]

Thanks Mark...trust me, it's taken a few years to acquire this stuff. I'm working on getting bigger tires now, but being one of those hourly guys you speak of, it's probably gonna be another year or so before that happens. But that's ok, not complaining, just explaining... Happy Trails! :)

[@iametoh]

I'd do it. Oh wait, I do it all the time ^^ Nice video, I need to start filming for myself. After all, Im watching your video, perhaps someone will watch mine too.

[@MonsterJeep]

Oh man...that is sooo great! That's EXACTLY how it started for me! :) Happy Trails!

[@iametoh]

Monster Jeep Right on man, keep on doing what you're doing, I thought it was well done ^^

[@161os046Gdz]

without music better

[@MonsterJeep]

Ah, right-on...thanks for the feedback. Happy Trails! :)

[@161os046Gdz]

Greetings from Poland

[@MonsterJeep]
