Solo Camping in my NEW Tent On a MOUNTAIN TOP!

[@jf1360]

Can’t help but smile when I watch your videos! You just seem like a happy guy that really does what he can to enjoy life. Great video, cheers!

[@basecampchris]

I appreciate that!

[@joethompson79]

Being on the east coast, I get jealous of a lot of the scenic wilderness you have out there. Our mountains and vistas just aren't the same.

[@onionhead5780]

Agreed. I’m on the east coast also. We have something akin to hills compared to the mountains over there.

[@UrDoinItWrong]

@@onionhead5780 we got the white mountains though right guys!!???! RIGHT?!?! :(

[@Journeysofdad]

Agree 100%. Being from upstate NY we have rolling hills at best. The ADK park is Fair and so are the whites in terms of the east coast.

[@Hilly2826]

@@Journeysofdad I highly disagree. The east coast is beautiful and the Adirondacks are spectacular.

[@Journeysofdad]

@@Hilly2826 it's most likely just living here my entire life seeing most of the state and just ready for something new. Your very correct. It's beautiful upstate. And on the east coast. Just not mountainous.

[@MegaSusanc]

What a beautiful place to wake up to. That spot was awesome. it looked so cool in the dark. You got yourself an awesome tent. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. You do a great job. Stay Awesome 🤗 HUGS 🤗

[@germaineprien7691]

You are one blessed dude!!!

[@basecampchris]

Thank you!!

[@jetmanwalking]

Hey Chris, Blake here. I had a small leak in my Tensor too. Take it home, inflate it and put in a bathtub of water. You can easily spot the leak as small bubbles escaping the pad. Mark that spot with a marker, then use your repair kit that came with the pad. Mine has been perfect ever since! Good luck! Great video!

[@basecampchris]

Thanks! will be doing this to get it back up.

[@TheOahuMike]

so fun! so beatiful!! and a very happy dude indeed!!!!!!

[@DRK215]

I’ve been following you for a few years, love your sense of adventure!! I am stuck in Florida with a lot of swamps. I love the west, been traveling out there for the better part of 40 years. But they are way to few and far between. I love watching your videos and imagining myself in your shoes. I’ve loved the mountains since my first trip vacationing with my parents at 10 years old. I too love to explore seldom visited areas like some of your “ Middle of Nowhere” trips. Thanks for all you do

[@basecampchris]

Thanks Dan, I appreciate it! I do like those trips where I'm just out there! Keep Hiking!

[@adarshmishra5545]

Thanks Chris, we really appreciate that you are uploading videos for us inspite of busy schedule. I personally do enjoy your videos alot, Great Content & Work. 👍😇🙏

[@basecampchris]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate it.

[@Vangirhl]

Thanks, Chris! I so enjoy your videos. I watch 1 per day during my lunch break at work my desk. It's inspired me to find some local trails to hike with the family.

[@AccidentalHiker1]

I was just looking at this REI tent. Perfect timing.

[@basecampchris]

it is my favorite!

[@AccidentalHiker1]

@@basecampchris I bought the tent!. I got a wink and a nod discount on it at the register. 😅 It wasn't on sale or anything. Used it once so far.

[@sheld2229]

Thanks Chris. Im looking at camping gear, realy like your tent!

[@DRK215]

PS… love that you give the history and informative tidbits of the places you visit also

[@basecampchris]

Thanks!

Hi Chris, dinner certainly sounds terrific! The area is beautiful too! You have a great personality and sense of humor that you share with us too. Keep these great videos coming and Keep Hiking as you say :)

[@ottomechanic1370]

Hello Chris, enjoyed watching your quick excursion camp out, in the high mountains. Your videos are fun to watch and a reminder, that we all should get out enjoy ourselves with Mother nature, when we can. She has way of rejuvenating our well-being... so therapeutic. 👍

[@basecampchris]

Glad you enjoyed it! Keep Hiking!

[@benwelch4076]

Grats on the new job, hoping you find it enjoyable. Thats one slick new tent, I like the storage on the inside. Those potatoes looked so good, with that steak and asparagus, omg! The scenery and those photos you took, just fantastic; watched it twice.

[@basecampchris]

Wow, thank you! Keep Hiking!

[@calvinmonroe2408]

One thing i noticed is a light /white tent body helps brighten the interior for activity in the tent after dark! Thats a real plus

[@basecampchris]

It does really helps...makes it easier to be out there!

[@lindajordan7481]

Such beautiful scenery! Some great shots!

[@Cyclerspride]

Great way to start my weekend with a new video! Thanks Chris

[@basecampchris]

Thank you!!

I enjoy watching your shows especially when you cook it's kind of cool to see what people make out in the wild life 😊.... Next meal pork chops 😋.... And a scary 😳 story... And always say your grace 🙏 before you eat

[@bigmikehikez2927]

Great job Chris. I always enjoy your upbeat and positive attitude. God bless.

[@basecampchris]

I appreciate that!

[@aurorabroquil4616]

Hi Chris! I really enjoyed all your videos especially the parts where u tell stories and cook your food. U are an effective storyteller. I dont hike but I love nature. Seeing your videos opened my eyes to the beauty of hiking and camping. Might as well try camping, am from the Philippines and there are so many beautiful places here for camping. At least there is no Sasquatch here..😊 Looking forward to seeing your more videos. Stay safe!

[@twocross]

It’s a shame I can only like your episode once! Thank you Chris you knocked it out of the park again!

[@basecampchris]

Thank you very much!!

To bad about having to work. But it will make the time in the wild even more precious. Thanks for sharing.

[@Kathy_Is_Blessed]

Hi Chris. I like all your caps. I don’t think I’ve seen the same one twice. What a beautiful area this one. How wonderful to still get a low-30’s morning in May!♥️ (I live in Texas). I remember my first trip to Colorado and we toured the Coors factory!🤣 so fun.🍺 Cheers!

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Kathy....very high elevation....over 7.5 k feet...cold mornings. Always wanted to tour the Coors factory.

[@Sherry-tt2rj]

Chris as always you have wonderful views and a big bright smile.i love being outdoors. But I broke my hip in July and I'm recovering but don't think I can hike right now! God Bless

[@traceylasslett5514]

Congratulations on your new job!. It is always exciting out with the new tent on the trail! Of course you must offset that with the sleeping pad leak.lol The camp spot was sweet! Sometimes the quick overnighter does just as good as the long trip at times. As always thank you for the enjoyable video. Be well and Trail on!

[@basecampchris]

Yes! Thank you Tracey!

[@joanfos4890]

I enjoy your videos so much. Working on my leg strength to be able to start backpacking too.

At 9k feet above sea level not a big concern but a possibility. So yes should be cautious

[@cherlgolja5402]

Chris love your videos! How much does your backpack weight? Your a great 👨‍🍳

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

If you like garlic, you should take a clove of garlic for that asparagus! Did this spot burn from the recent fires near Tahoe?? Sad if it did! 😢

[@basecampchris]

Thanks for the tip...I believe this spot is fine...I'll be back up there when it clears and the forest opens.

I waatch many of you videos. You do a great job (ive only been critical of 1 thing) anyways. Im curious if youve had the chance to try out or personally see other affordable 4/3+ season tents like the eureka mountain pass, alps mountaineering tasmanis. Tents under the 500 mark. If so whats your opinion.

[@kendog53]

You dont think that spacious 2 man tent caused that earthquake do you? Just kidding, great video

not the tent but i felt something friday at my house.

A little alcohol education: Doctors consider 8 oz as one drink. Therefore a large 24 oz beer is THREE drinks! I now this information because I am a recovering alcoholic. i have not had a drink since 12/26/02! Alcoholism runs in our family, both sides. On my dad's side of the family we are part Indian.

A 2 man tent is great for 1 man. Never try sleeping 3 people in a 2 man tent. It's togetherness more than you can handle.

Absolutely a 4 man is for 3 people as well...a one man tent really works for a large hobbit.
