Camping - Unexpected Snowstorm Best Day Ever

[@diegoforest]

Jason, I have been watching you for years and I don't think I have ever commented. This is one of my favs. Really great stuff here. Story, cinema, conditions, fishing in the snow?, mobile wood cabin, I smelt that bacon, epic drone shots, and that monster of a van you built! Just going from A to B! It's all about the journey for sure ....I miss the pooches too.

[@G4LIFE74]

I think he should consider getting some (Pup or Pup’s again) great travel companions!

[@princesseugenio6283]

I’m the type of person that likes sitting around a fire and drinking coffee and watching this video seems to put me in that vibe. Thanks again

[@PrimalOutdoors]

It’s a good vibe to be in. I am glad I could put you in it. Jason

[@MikeInocencio-sl7ih]

I really don't know one man who don't love snow. It's like it brings out the kid in us.

[@99sporttruck]

I did some time in the Army and it made me appreciate the outdoors. This is something I've always wanted to do but my wife would never consider it! Something about being outside at night in the middle of a snowstorm just does it for me! I'm living vicariously through you. Keep it up

[@bobpankey4425]

Always loved sleeping in my astro van and waking up with deep snow covery windshield and all

[@thomasquigley7040]

Off the cuff, not planned. Exactly what I love.

[@papajeff5486]

@@thomasquigley7040 Really like spontaneous adventures too. Worry a bit about the cold and lack of preparation. He seems to be prepared enough though. Thanks for sharing…from an old vet, retired in the foothills of the Smokies.

[@maryadams6415]

Been watching since you had the 7.3 Powerstroke 4x4 truck and orange trailer. I really miss the old pups. Just something about camping that goes with 4 legged companionship. I teared up when Daisy ran off to her new home. God bless buddy! You ARE living the dream.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

That is a long time because I don’t even remember having a 7.3🤔. I do remember an old Ford truck that I still have that has a 5.4l.

[@softroadingthewest]

This is living the van life! I think the high top and the wood stove are two of the best additions you’ve made to the van. As happy as I am with how my setup is working for me, that van is very appealing.

[@VintageGearMan]

Nothing on the planet like wood heat. Cool set up and easy install. Thumbs up!

[@tedfisk1211]

I haven't viewed your videos for a while and was happy to see this one, a wonderful diversion from the baloney going on right now in this country. Great stuff.

[@timfitzpatrick7587]

Primal. Love your videos. I am so glad you pinned the Dick Proenneke video. I watched it on PBS as a kid with my dad. Sadly, he passed away 5 years ago, and tomorrow would have been his birthday, and this was a nice memory I was able to share with my wife. Thank you!

[@margoburns9085]

Loved seeing you camping in the snow. Brings back memories of your early videos. ❤

[@shirleymckenzie4363]

I miss these kind of videos. Very nice.

[@skyepilotte11]

Just a few days in a soft white wonderland ...kicking it... Thx Jason...you're living the dream of many of us.

[@tjkrueger2655]

Livin' the dream for all of us, thanks for taking us with you

[@REspnJr]

hello Jason, I actually found your channel during covid. channels like yours gave us a little reprieve from the California lockdown. i drop in every now and then to see what your up to, and you are still making wonderful content. it is definitely a break from the insanity. thank you. God bless.

[@gdean11]

Who moved my cheese?! Lol! I remember getting shown the video at work when our team was being down-sized. Taught me to NEVER rely on ANY job and to work toward the "fresh cheese" of self-sufficiency. Took me a few years, but the lesson was well learned and I'm not surprised it speaks to you too! Great vid Jason, I always love your content.

[@tundraluv]

Jason, this as well as all of your videos, is perfect. I've been following for a long time now, and I absolutely love the sense of realism you've always displayed in your videos. Good or bad, you don't hide much from your viewers and I think that is an indicator to your continued success. Thanks for always just being you.

[@northernmichiganoverland]

Your van build actually inspired my suburban build.

[@visamedic]

I’ve got a 96’, 5.7, 4x4. I’ve tried a couple of different things. Currently I have slide outs in the back with everything I need…I could literally jump in and easily be out for a month or longer if I can find water and fuel. I use a cot tent. I think I’m gonna go with a bed setup in the back, maybe a smaller , thinner slide-out with some minimal necessities, and modify the current box and convert my little “truck bed” trailer into a camp kitchen-water-necessities-power station trailer. I like to hunt, and I like having some stuff with me at all times, but I’d like to be able to

[@visamedic]

Maybe do the bed deck to be a drawer for my rifles, ammo, smaller air tank for my PCPs. Have a compressor in the trailer. Been messing with the Sub pretty much since a bought it.

[@flywiseman]

Alone in the wilderness is the best. I bet i watch that 3-4 times a year. Really enjoyed your vid as well

[@thefpvlife7785]

I felt like I just discovered gold. I just found your channel and I thank you for reminding me how boring my life is Sir.

[@Rlaplante73]

I'm a new sub to your channel. I really enjoyed it. Love the interior cabin look and feel. Nothing like a wood stove. When I lived up in Maine I heated my home through the winter with it. I had to chuckle when you said you had the jitters from all the coffee ... a man after my heart. In fact, I have a coffee going right now :)

"with the suddenness of a broken boot string..." I have loved Dick Proenneke's stuff for years! He was the original vlogger! I would love to go see his cabin at Twin Lakes. The coziness of your cabin on wheels is envious. So cool. Really enjoyed this one! Thanks for sharing!

[@RhinoOffroad]

Just getting around the watching this. Awesome video Jason! Can't wait till we can get around a campfire here soon.

[@BrienWood7.3]

Another great adventure!!! Gotta find those fish!

[@jeffmorris739]

This is what I like. Very relaxing. Thanks.

[@tanyaclark3474]

Having the door open with the woodstove on reminds me of my husband and I winter camping in our van and having to have the sliding door open during the night as it for so warm. Great!!!

[@dalecurrier5631]

Awesome Jason very beautiful.

[@Mitch_f_m]

Perfect timing for a winter camping video. Hopefully there is more snow this year than last so we can enjoy some bourbon, fires, and camping

[@normdickson2438]

I’ve fasted for 7 days just water what your feeling is your sugars dropping rapidly makes you feel this way once it’s stabilize it goes away

[@campoutwestus]

What a surprise finding so much snow. It looked really beautiful. The van does great in deep snow, it's impressive!

[@PrimalOutdoors]

That is ideal snow to drive in. As the year progresses that will change plus I was down to 20psi in the tires. Jason

[@smacpost3]

Nice work. Stay warm out there and thanks for sharing.

[@josephsullivan5145]

Great video!! So glad you had same casual relaxation!!

[@Darenbranch]

Everything you described about sitting in your van in the snow, is exactly the feeling I get, wind, snow, van rocking (wind! Get your mind out of the gutter folks) 😂 Nice n warm, hot food, alcohol, of course! Best feeling in the world 🙏

In another life where I didn't get into a motorcycle accident leaving paralyzed from the chest down, I would have followed the same path as you. You are living a dream that I didn't know I had. I have to admit that I was a little worried that you wouldn't make it out there with all the extra snow.

Nice to see a new video. I love all of your videos and love following you on all your adventures!!

[@georgecraft007]

Instead of risking your life in cold water with waders, try using a small balloon as a fishing bobber. With a slight breeze from behind you, the balloon will carry further and further out to the middle of the lake. The dollar store is a great place to get a bag of party balloons.

[@jurgenprooi9637]

Yep Jason, always nice to see you busy ! You and destination adventures make me always jealous 😊 . But that's okay ... But maybe you guys have to come together one time . Just a idea . Cheers Jurgen

Nice little run out there mate. Love the winter atmosphere. I’d love a wood burner in my van. I live in my Lorry here in the UK all week and try and escape in my van a lot. I do struggle with what to do at nights being mostly in the concrete jungle especially since I spent most of my life outdoors in Africa, etc. Overlanding. It’s difficult passing the time with my head buried in an IPad or phone at night and your videos are a great way to escape that and enjoy the wilderness through your experiences so thank you.
