Solo Winter Snow Camping in Subaru: Why I Car Camp

[@lynnef3297]

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🙏🏼

Cant even put into words how wonderful your vids are. I can always know your landscape footage is awesome. Perfect music too.

Wonderfully relaxing and comforting. You really capture the beauty that one misses when just in a car. Thank you for making and sharing the video.

Man thats a lot of work to switch the rig from a daily to an adventure rig. Love the dedication. Awesome build. First video of yours I've seen. Looking forward to much more.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks!

[@thewaywesing]

So glad this came up on my recommendations.

Absolutely gorgeous scenery!!! And great weather with no wind! Love it!!

[@davidr7236]

Stopped 7 or so minutes in to comment how great the editing and in particular the colour grading is. Phone died. Back two days later to finish it off and the rest of the episode was just as great. Thanks for all the effort you put in.

[@johnsilver228]

hey chase im following the same path, these last couple years ive fallen in love with being outdoors ive car camped so much and just recently got a subaru to expand the places i could go to. You really did motivate me and took away most my worry thank you.

[@JESUSLOVESU2]

Love those scenic shots of the environment all around you ..... they’re stunning and absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks for watching!

[@Pilikestortoises]

Ive camped in my 2008 WRX. Not even the hatchback, just the sedan. Not the most comfortable choice but certainly the easiest. The AWD is just so insanely good, i was even towing my friends out of being stuck on the trail lol.

[@tarax3elizabeth]

I'm so happy I found your page. Absolutely stunning footage you got and I love your setup so much. The more I watch the more excited I get to finally take my Outback out for adventuring. Thank you for your content!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate the sentiment! Have fun out there👍

[@amtrakification]

Chase, this is the finest video I've ever seen...incredible amount of thought and work went into this. I particularly liked and appreciated your posting all of the gear that went into this production. Well done, thank you!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful car camping trip with us! I just found your channel and I really enjoy it! Being laid up with a broken leg and being 76 years old is no fun.I mostly miss not being outdoors until OLD MAN WINTER gets out of here! I will tooling around my power wheelchair but being outdoors will be great! Fantastic filming and views of the area that you visit! KEEP UP YOUR ADVENTURES AND HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE 👍🙏

Beautiful views, and great music with the video. Unbelievable drone video! while you were driving!

[@jamiethompson490]

Great video as always. Funny enough I tried to make my first KZbin “overlanding” video this past weekend of a solo winter car camping and skiing trip and sadly nothing went right. Forgot camera battery, had a Ranger tell me I would be fined if they found me camping inside my car, and temps dropped below 10°. While the video didn’t work out I certainly learned a lot and still had some fun.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Sounds like a good time to me! Haha I’ve been there- i’ve forgot memory cards multiple times and it’s always a buzzkill. But hey, we don’t go because we expect everything to be perfect!

[@steveryder6733]

These adventure videos are extremely inspiring. Been kicking around the idea of car camping myself. And yep, in a subaru outback because it's not bad on gas and is spacious plus has a great awd system.

[@valerielawe2178]

Just test drove a 2020 model today, i`ll be going back to get it! You are inspiring, love the coverage of short, 1-2 night trips!

Hi, Michael from UK here. I was considering starting to car camp. Watching this has persuaded me to JUST DO IT!

[@jeffg4531]

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.

[@A_Son_Of_Yahuah]

Awesome video bro. Super STOKED about all the links you provided. Me and my wife are new to camping and watching your videos really is a great way to learn about 🏕 camping.

[@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. Thanks for sharing this adventure!

[@doreenduncan3411]

Beautiful drone footage. I motorcycle camp (tent) and have a small rv but would love to just go out in my suv. You have just inspired me to do it!

[@H.pylori]

I was at the Subaru dealership yesterday looking for an Outback (I call it the motorized metal tent) to outfit and enjoy this great country just like you do....except, not in the freezing weather like you do. Now, being March, it is time to head out. Thanks for listing all of your gear. It will help me to prepare my new Outback. Will be watching y our other videos.

[@isramanvibration]

This is what a needed to see today. Van dream,meanwhile solution.

[@Corcioch]

Some wonderful film making dude! Some of the cinematography in the opening minutes was at the level of a 'Cinema' motion pictures not all that many years ago. You clearly put alot of effort into recording and editing this film. Thanks for sharing it, I enjoyed it alot.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks for the comment, It means a lot to know that you all enjoy results of the effort. 🙏

[@stevearita3267]

This video was really beautiful. Not only all of the scenery but your drone footage shots were amazing. I also can appreciate how difficult it is to make these videos when you are by yourself, so many excellent shots, very nicely done!

[@ricardostravels3265]

I agree - That's what I thought when I created my Micro RV out of my Tiny Nissan Versa Note for my wife and I to travel and camp in. We travel with a Quick-Set Clamp Shell that is 8ft x 12x and goes up and down in around 10-20 minutes.

[@tammystours5171]

Excellent vid! Very well done, just beautiful! I'm sitting here waiting for a call (working) living vicariously :) 😃

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Glad you enjoyed it🙏

[@12DanDaniel]

you are nailing the camera work. So many difficult lighting setups and they all look great. The night shots are very classy. to know when to let detail disappear takes skill. To show detail with a spot light in the frame.... sweet. Were you carrying your water bottle in a lens case? Great idea for insulation.

[@jsobol12]

Awesome videography man! I stumbled across your channel and love it. Keep up the amazing work! I look to be purchasing an Outback this year and will definitely be going car camping and using your content as a guide to help introduce me into the process. Thank you again!

[@marks-0-0]

Hi i like the way you think as I came to a similar conclusion. Ive got a campervan but never used it much in 2020 so plan to sell it this Spring. In readiness ive bought a small cheap boxy car and basically plan to use it as a tent on wheels without a conversion. I got the idea watching people camping from a backpack. If you can survive using a lightweight setup then camping from a car is luxury!

[@ccs1580]

Bro these videos are incredible thank you. I've been researching the crosstrek and the Mazda CX30 and I like both, but man the Suburu just drives so much better and doing overnight winter camping is my goal this winter.
