Solo Camping in the Adirondacks | Living in My Jeep

I wrapped up this month-long road trip with upstate New York. Upstate has so much to offer, especially the Adirondack and Catskills regions.
I’m taking everything I learned on this roadtrip and gearing up for the next one. Stay tuned for more camping videos, camping gear reviews, and more.

Dude the underwater drone footage is amazing! Can't believe you pulled that off!

[@mattzefi]

Hahahaha I do what I can

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

Some beautiful shots! Thank you for sharing this!

[@mattzefi]

Thanks a ton for watching!

[@mikebrown200004]

Nice to see some east coast love. Little boring watching the same stuff from the west. Being a midwestern guy I got some great idea. Thanks man

[@mattzefi]

Glad to hear! The east coast is constantly slept on, but definitely has a lot to offer

[@deleoncamping]

Back at it, great! keep it up my friend!

[@user-gf3lw5pi4t]

Great drone work❤

[@DB_Roams]

Another stellar video. Keep up the good work!

[@mattzefi]

Thanks so much!!

[@That_Guy_Outside]

Wow, fantastic videography! Love it - and the adventure too!

[@michaelboyle4119]

Absolutely stunning drone footage. Need to go there someday.

[@mattzefi]

Thank you! It’s my favorite place to be.

[@petercharron3268]

Ok, what is your secret camera tech, best video quality on KZbin. You deserve another 990,509 subscribers.

[@mattzefi]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching

[@browsman2328]

Deja vu for me as I grew up in little Sherrill NY and my dad took us camping on Lake Ontario and the Adirondacks occasionally. Even though I live in Northern California now I always feel a pull for the eastern forests, hills and mountains of upstate NY possibly because my maternal grandmother was a full blooded Seneca going back many generations. You know one of those N.Y. Native Americans. Also I would like to compliment you for not making your vid a series of selfies like so many other outdoor channels do.

[@mattzefi]

That’s amazing, hope it brought back some good memories. And thanks, my goal is definitely to focus on nature

[@user-gf3lw5pi4t]

Marble Hill Oneida ?

[@kevinhikes3132]

You did a great job putting this footage together , I appreciate it it really looks great

[@mattzefi]

Thank you Kevin!

Great video once again! You're in my neck of the woods near Lake George, Queensbury, etc. I have a 2012 JK and I'll take a road trip into the Lake Placid, Saranac Lake & Tupper Lake areas too. My problem is that I only have a 2 door and no roof tent lol. There are some awesome tunnels in Lake George that take you under the Northway and it's a pretty easy climb to a small reservoir and scenic waterfall. My jeep has a stock suspension and is my daily driver so I'm careful with it.

[@mattzefi]

Thank you! It was my first time in the area and I was blown away. Seems there’s a ton more to see though, that’s great to know, I’ll have to go back. I’ve seen some smaller individuals make a 2 door work for car camping😂seems a bit uncomfortable though - a ground tent’s probably even better. Still running a stock suspension on mine as well, definitely need to upgrade soon!

[@JeffStJohn-kt3cx]

@@mattzefi here's a link to a video I did on those Lake George tunnels - nice little trip - stock suspension is fine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6Sap5SFrLt2b5Y

[@mattzefi]

@@JeffStJohn-kt3cx great video, so cool! I have to go next time I'm in the area

[@ADKOverlandNY]

@@mattzefi Matt - my previous KZbin channel where you watched the Lake George tunnels video somehow disappeared along with 6 years worth of videos. I've started a new channel and re-visited the tunnels a couple of days ago to get footage. I placed directions in the video description, but the video itself shows you turn by turn should you ever come back up this way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpWwk4Cvr8mlhZo

[@waterandlandadventures4319]

Hi new sub here. Look forward to catching all the videos.

[@mattzefi]

Much more to come! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@funsdchannel7961]

Interesting trip, really great video, thank you for sharing your experience

[@mattzefi]

Thanks for watching!

[@viathejeep2689]

Great video! Good luck with your channel, I subscribed and will suggest it to others. Excellent droneography, if that’s a word.

[@mattzefi]

It’s a word now! Haha thanks so much for watching and joining me on the road by subscribing 🤙

[@KateRac]

Love it!! I live in CT and have been looking for some places we can go on the weekends. Which hike was that in Mohonk???

[@mattzefi]

Thanks! The labyrinth. Such a fun hike, but all of Mohonk and Minnewaska are amazing.

[@bkr111]

It was nice meeting you on the hike yesterday. Sorry, I think we took a long time getting out of the lemon squeeze too 🤣😂 A lot of first timers in my group. Anyways great channel! I sent it to all my Jeep friends. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@mattzefi]

Hahaha your group was way faster than the group in this video! It was great meeting you too on such a beautiful day to hike! Thanks so much for checking out the channel

[@bkr111]

@@mattzefi I’m glad we didn’t hold you up for too long. 🤣 Btw I don’t see your Instagram here. Would like to give you a shout out on my page, some of my followers will probably be interested 😁

[@mattzefi]

@mattzefi on Instagram 😁

[@Sakiadventures]

Amazing video just saw your headliner video your video quality is amazing but the Contrast and black level are high I barely see what you are cooking there

[@mattzefi]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate it! I'll take that into consideration

[@buscampers]

Just found your channel and subbed. Good stuff! Keep it coming.

[@mattzefi]

Thanks so much for watching and subbing! A lot more to come

[@buscampers]

@@mattzefi What drone are you using? Those shots looked really good. I'm assuming its waterproof? :)

[@mattzefi]

@@buscampers Thanks!! I was using a Mavic 3 but the drone crash part was a DJI Avata. Definitely not waterproof lol but it survived thankfully!

[@EverythingOutdoorsAndJeeps]

What is that magical coffee maker? I need one for overlanding.

[@mattzefi]

The AeroPress! I use it every day even when not camping lol

[@johnmonteiro2102]
