I recently went out on a two day solo winter car camping adventure into the mountains of Idaho. Like many winter trips, the weather made me change my plans along the way but I had fun none the less. I camped in my Subaru and went snowshoeing the following day. Enjoy!

Absolutely beautiful views! Thanks for sharing the adventure. I also like the snow and especially enjoyed the snowshoeing. I love the peace and quiet that the snow brings. ❄️😄

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks for the comment, Lynne. The snow brings a whole new level enjoyment to being outside. Take care!

[@RVingwithG]

I have not been there for 22 years, but when that rock slide took you out your next place you went to you lost me.... WHERE did you end up at???

[@tigergreg8]

This video should win an award. The views, time and effort, and work put into this is fantastic. Honestly, do people watching this even realize how much time and effort was put into this. Those shots don't just happen, you have to set up constantly, and I also noticed, when you set the camera, you made a point of not having footprints in front of it. which means you walked around in order to just set the camera up. Your editing skills and effort are above par. What a beautiful relaxing well done video to watch.

[@lucaskneip5997]

I wouldn’t have realized if I wasn’t a film production major

[@Jcthered]

I noticed the lack of footprints too! I appreciate that attention to detail... it's the small details that make it that much more enjoyable. (If anyone wants more hiking videos like this, check out Craig Adams)

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate you noticing the details and work that goes into it. Comments like these make me want to create more, so thanks!

[@MM-yy9ib]

A lot of work goes into this. I worked in video production years ago. Remember what a :30 spot took to put together. B-roll, script, editing, audio, etc. This is a bit over 20:00 minutes. Agree that this gentleman should win an award. By the way, proud owner my first Outback. Love it.

[@tigergreg8]

[@bbensley6181]

As an owner of two outback’s and a very well built out sprinter, I can attest that I still love camping in the outback if it’s just me. Once you can just leave everything in the vehicle it allows even more ability to just go on a minutes notice. Being able to change clothes and use the restroom are game changers also. Love your video and drone shots. Keep it up.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Totally agree! Thanks, I appreciate it🙏🏼

Wow, breathtaking views Chase. Nothing like I have ever seen before. Australia is beautiful but we don’t get the snow like you do there. Admittedly it did freak me out that road you were on thinking about landslides then you came across the large boulders. I am guessing it is a lot quieter and less people camping in your winter months. Keep up with the footage you have an eye for it and it is great to watch your videos after a long day. So peaceful and quiet.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Awesome video, Chase! The drone shots were magnificent. I need to take some lessons on how to use mine. At nearly 74 I envy your youth and certainly miss mine spending much of it overseas while serving in the military. I have my Jeep SUV set up for a trip out to the Appalachians this week. Being retired I can pick and choose my days out. I was going to fabricate an awning but after checking your selected Amazon site I think buying one ready to mount makes more sense.
