Winter Camping at America's Tallest Sand Dunes

Hiking and surfing the tallest sand dunes in America!
What better time to visit Great Sand Dunes National Park for the first time than the middle of the night during a winter storm? 😄Despite the cold temps and high winds, this was an epic adventure. Don’t underestimate the steep, sandy dunes though… This is a real leg-burner of a hike!
Thank you to my brother Teddy and his roommate Oscar for allowing me to tag along!

coming from someone who is born and raised in the cold and have battled the coldest of temps while hunting. taking off as much layers as you can and basically sleeping in your boxers is the best way to go. as wild as that sounds, your body takes all of it in, and waking up the next morning & throwing all the extra layers back on really makes a huge difference. thank me later🍻

[@VHGbham]

Looking forward to watching this one! Hopefully the haters don't start saying you're putting the sand in danger. 😜

[@LoveAndPieces000]

This one is just awesome! The videography is top notch. The juxtaposition of the mountains and dunes, sand and snow, is surreal. Thank you for taking us with you. 💞 I will probably never see this in person so i love tagging along on your adventures. (And this one didnt make my momma heart skip a beat. Way to stay safe. 😂)

[@DjOCKWARD]

BRUH!!! THANKS FOR ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO!! SHOUT OUT TO TEDDY AND OSCAR🙌🏼💯

[@cherray50]

I so appreciate how you take moments to revel in nature's beauty.

[@user-px1rq4fv8s]

Sick! enjoyed this one. You are great ambassador for America. It looks so beautiful. Can't wait for the next one.

[@offduty170]

This was awesome / always up for an adventure - and driving thru an incoming storm - what’s not to like - keep this vids coming !!! Great to be along for the ride !!!

[@keysonthego3663]

That sunrise is beautiful. Thank you be safe out there.

[@nicholasrosingana1439]

I could watch these videos all day man, keep up the great work

[@LaoSoftware]

I want to go camping and hiking with my best friends. It would be so fun.

[@dianejohnson1991]

Loved the sunrise on the mountains ⛰️

[@danicacopp8376]

So amazing!

[@EasyGoingMC]

I love the great sand dunes man. Been there in spring and summer. Always hard to hike to on! Check out white sands in New Mexico. Equally awesome but very different type of sand dunes

[@maxesser8561]

Video inspired me to get out! Really becoming a fanboy for your content haha!! Always looking for the next upload! Stay safe and keep it up! Keep on truckin!

[@andrewames4377]

Love your attitude! Keep on doing you.

[@tammyr2966]

Wow! Beautiful! What an awesome adventure! Looks so fun!

[@rce59]

Great scenery. I’ve got to go to some of the places that I haven’t been to or seen in this country. Have a good one.

[@Katy_WelcomeToHolland]

Nice! That sunrise though 👍 what an adventure!

[@cynthia3976]

I have only been to the much smaller Bruneau dunes in southern Idaho, and it was in the summer. I think the winter sand might have been easier to climb. You seemed so much happier in the company of friends. Great vid as usual, especially the drone shots!

[@Herladyness6048]

The videos keep getting better😭 this is what life is.

[@sufferman1]

Back with a banger

[@wilinski30]

Been there in the spring. Those dunes are very difficult to climb.

[@scottbartlett4853]

You'll have to return after June 1st when Medano Pass is open. Really cool off-road trail with 18 or so first come first server campsites. Food lockers at each site due to it being bear country.

[@pianoman173]

I’ve camped here before! Wicked cool place but the sand blowing in the wind was BRUTAL

[@okdiver589]

Awesome place I have some property up close to the sand dunes you should have gone and checked out Zapata Falls it's a really cool place really close to the dunes on the mountain.

[@Chill_Vibezzz]

yoo awesome vid dude! those dunes make the ones here in the outer banks look puny lmao!

[@trishtimmons]

Heck ya!!!

[@aswinsomu2039]

Wow😮

[@ballygarran]

The States is definitely on my bucket list. Stunning truly stunning

[@shawnas464]

🥳

[@aaronsandker8954]

Just found your channel and shared with my bros. Great job man! I follow Mav, Will Survives and now You! 🤘

[@binaural210]

🔥🔥

[@brettfrascati]

Dude… your content is the best… wipeouts and all, love the honesty. Keep it genuine bro, so good! The Colorado hot springs pair well with a truck camper, and lots of blm land to enjoy… those winter closure gates are a bummer but they’ll be open soon. Strawberry in steamboat and iron mountain in Glenwood are worth the trip

[@jjlpinct]

Thanks!

[@dakapbj]

Bruh, think I just saw you trucking south on I75 heading into Atlanta. Better keep going, you won't have anything left if you stay there 😂. If not you, then you have a pretty good imposter, LoL

[@Anonymous-wf9me]

Love u brother

[@Ruvim_schik]

What a video 👌

[@balebvandrunen6876]

go to the Selway Bitter route wildernes in Idaho pls

[@BoriquaBBW]

I was always afraid of sand dunes for fear of being sucked inside. I still have this fear. I guess I watch too many movies.

[@eddiesharrone8106]

12:35 “Fuckin’ do it!” Forget to honk that one out??

[@beaversanchez9995]

I live in a town 12 miles away from the sand dunes. I see them every morning when I walk out my front door.

[@williamfarmer841]

Top G!!

[@davedave1398]

Broke back sand dune

[@beaversanchez9995]

Summer is easier but sand is hot so you need sandels or shoes.

[@sagarschavan]

🙏👍👌❤️

[@writersbrock9246]

shish-kabobs… literally all u gotta do is meal prep and put ur meat and veggies in refrigerated plastic bags and toss it in the cooler. Then use some skewer sticks over the camp fire and choose what u wanna eat! Literally i ate for three days using only kabob style dinners

[@cookie5335]

Where is it?

[@miccalor]

I wonder if that "frozen sand" was actually petrified sand from lightning strikes.

[@beesboys]

can you ride dirtbikes on the dunes ?

[@drivingbro]

Anyone know how old he is?

To climb the sand dunes you have to walk ↖️, not like this ⬆️

[@Sparky12002]

Sorry but not the tallest sand dune in America, but I get the click bait title grind! Keep it up

[@ch9337py]

Lame😊
