Hey man. I noticed you always start your car right away before waiting for the main relay to engage onto the ignition. If you want my opinion as a Toyota mechanic, waiting a sec for all of the dash lights before starting your truck can do a lot of wonders and prevent less electrical problems later down the line.

[@Kaitlin24247]

Yeah I did notice that! Also not so hard lol

[@David-hd3yk]

What if you have push start button?

[@lRAY94l]

That makes no sense. Doing so will have no negative wiring issues later down the line.

[@DontStepInTheGrease]

I'm glad you said that. I drive a Ford F150, and I don't turn it over until the drivers seat moves into place and the seat belt alarm stops.

[@hailandfire1822]

I'd wait until the H-fram light blinks twice, tap slightly on your brakes until you see the altimetric gauge shows at least -2, and then turn the ignition until you hear the jack-starter make a humming sound. Pull out slowly with your AC off until minimum-Q, switch your tube indicators to the 12th capacitor and then ease into the accelerator. It's not rocket science.

[@andrewchapman4313]

GREAT to see you back my guy!! Nice haircut, and glad you’re doing well!

[@karongoodine3288]

Camping on the beach in California is my all time favorite childhood memory. I loved listening to the sounds of those waves. Parents and grandparents slept in huge RV. Us kids camped in the tent. Would love to do that again.

[@karl39100]

Great content as always friend. Be safe and continue to document and share your journey.

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

like that just a camper shell and do what you want inside

[@BurgerKingPlaneGuy]

How much weight is on your tundra? I have an 01 TRD reg cab with 3000 lb max recorded weight of camper and stuff in it and I'm only on old stock leaf springs and new shock absorbers, no mods, I have been 1300 pounds over my 1700 lb payload limit. looking into upgraded springs but no rush as I have been driving with it like this for a year. Just drove 1000 km on mountainous roads with my V6 5spd tundra engine and suspension fully stock, just wanted to let you know how tough these first gen tundras really are! I've also driven on the steepest forest service roads possible with this thing nothing's ever broke

[@Blessings_Tiny7Heaven]

Super cool !

[@Foodmeow]

I like saying the hello

[@SMKHEMI]

You might want to get small chainsaw to carry with you. Then you could remove the large branches out of the way and prevent damage to the camper.

[@kimpeter7934]

Also max trax, D rings and recovery/ tow straps.

[@jacquezghardy]

The electric ones are dope! - a firefighter

[@bigjules1234567890]

It's more specific than Californians that put a "the" before a highway number... it's really just Southern Californians that do that. There's a historical reason for that: before the Interstate Highway Act in the 1950s existed, there were already freeways in LA. Because they didn't have numbers, they had names. The Santa Monica Freeway, the Harbor Freeway, etc. That's why us Southern Californians put a "the" before each freeway number.

[@theathjr]

Exactly. Reminded me of that skit on SNL.

[@graham974]

That’s interesting I didn’t know the historical reason behind why we add the ‘the’ in there. Makes sense since LA had some of the oldest freeways. I think the 110 May in fact have been the first, but not sure.

[@davidrhp847]

FYI the Pasadena fwy opened 1938

[@lynnejohnstone2338]

This is David, Judy's husband. I live 62 years in Oregon before moving to Idaho last year. I love your videos about oregon. The water on Hwy 26 is from a spring on the other side of the road. We also called it holy water. I don't think it's filtered but tested for drinking.

[@ScottPDX]

Yes, it's a spring, not "Filtered river water". I think that used to be a state wayside, before they moved to the newer rest area down the road.

[@dieselmax8606]

Sand inside all your bearings and hubs..spend loads of time at the car wash...Never take your vehicle on sand of any kind unless you are willing to wash your unit afterwards.

[@yowie1175]

What about dirt and mud? Same thing?

[@ericguerette3247]

No woooo when you drank your coffee at the end. Disappointment set in lol jk. Glad to see you back on the road.

[@vacationocean]

Some creators have completely given up on writing a thoughtful video description. Now replaced with a link to a page that says any and all donations are greatly appreciated & a link to "instagram" LOL

[@chilidog73]

As an Okie, we say I-35 or I-40. As a side note, did you know that all N/S highways are odd numbered and all E/W highways are even numbered? 👍🏻

[@shosmyth1454]

Jon you’re smart to be safe and cautious! When you get gut feelings about your surroundings-move and go to safer place. 👍

[@createdbydwayne]

Hi Jonathan!! Love your new haircut!! Keep safe, stay healthy, physically and mentally, and keep on making cool contents!! I'm a subscriber from the Philippines 🇵🇭 I hope I'll get to meet you someday. Ciao!! 👋🏻

[@makeupgrl24]

I love Astoria! It’s such a beautiful place. That’s also where Goonies, Short Circuit and Free Willy were filmed

[@builthilltough07]

Don’t forget kindergarten cop!

[@Creating_Cameron]

Always say “the” “insert freeway” we have so many here. It’s a big ass state lol

[@milesj179]

No “woo” on that last cup of coffee ☕️? 😮

[@MegaCocobaby]

Oh Johnathan, come out, come out where ever you are!!! Hey dude are you still waiting for a part for your truck. The last time you went AWOL you came out with this excuse that your truck broke down at the campsite we you were camping out the last time and you were waiting for the part to be deliver. I didn't know that auto zone delivers to campsites in the middle of Nowhere. Anyways, truck broken or not, Where's your video dude??

[@kenuber4766]

Why are you so vague about the area you're in. You should let people know that Astoria is the mouth of the Columbia River. Not just "camping along a river". Tell people about the history of the area, and some of the facts. Oh, and gear yourself up more for your adventures.

[@jordom1416able]

Astoria where Goonies and Kindergarten Cop takes place. Nice. Welcome back.

[@joannesorg2963]

Thanks for the views. I'm an Oregonian sitting on my couch with a broken leg unable to go where I'd like to go.Enjoy all your videos. Be safe.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Beautiful coastal area. Sand and vehicles, yep, can get pretty dicey for sure. Glad you didn't get stuck in it. Always enjoy your videos. Love the genuine pleasure you bring to truck camping.

[@blakebradshaw8208]

I stumbled upon your video cause I’ve got really into the idea of car camping lately. I was excited seeing you visited Astoria. I grew up across the river on the Long Beach peninsula. That rest stop on the Washington side is pretty interesting I will say.

[@kathleenschmidt1489]

Astoria is so cute. The Goonies was filmed there. I actually drove through 3 days ago on my way to Long Beach for the International Kite Festival. 😌

[@TheEdelKampers]

Love the Oregon Coast the views are just amazing. We miss it there. The view point from way up high is pretty awesome. That was an amazing place on the beach with a great view and wonderful privacy. Wish that you had food stocked up in the truck so you could have camped out there. Another great video. Thank you for sharing. Mary💕Fred

[@ChrisDavis333]

That pizza looks like bullshit and if you say it’s delicious I’m going to be pissed.

[@MegaCocobaby]

Hey dude, when are you going to drop your next video or did your truck break down again and you are waiting for a part for it. Let us know dude 😎

[@Dannyskitchen11]

the 5 seems normal. im from California also. Just varries state to state.

[@mr.waynes7555]

i think.....however you slice it, it's still balogna-y who cares?

[@1PhotoGeek]

Oregon looks so beautiful! I noticed that you didn't make a sound after your first sip of coffee. 😉

[@1982seca1]

What was up with your truck? You said that you're going to talk about it then you didn't

[@outdoors445]

Lol. People get stuck so often when driving on the Oregon coast. Always be ready to save yourself because who knows who will be around to help. Take care.

[@jeliment3569]

No "wooo" after the first sip of coffee...I feel jipped...lol jk keep up the good work

[@S.C.A.R-NATION]

You have probably already touched on this but forgive me I’m new to your channel I love your content, my question is what is your means of income? Is it KZbin or what?

[@shosmyth1454]

Jon you keep the reference to the highways you are most comfortable using! Good to see you and thank you again for taking us on another journey.

[@ketoauntie7301]

Does anyone know his Camper shell brand???

[@CarlosGarcia-le9ll]

You are living my dream!!! I'm so happy for you!!! One day I'll get there!!!

[@meganlee1170]

I was honestly caught off guard to hear background noises of other people talking cuz your normally alone and enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature

[@michaelkurz9067]

You won't have a pizza like that in Arizona:)

[@mscattale]

As much as I like pizza I don’t think I could eat that many veggies! They don’t look very cooked either. Glad it was good.

[@DontStepInTheGrease]

Where's the cheese?

[@erinthetraveler6168]

I think the way you say 'The 5' is a southern California thing. I grew up in northern California, and we say I-5.

[@JonnyDIY]

Haircut looks good 👍 Glad u made off beach, next time film it! Woulda loved to see 😄 PS- you forgot to finish your story about what was wrong with the ole Toyota & what u had to fix? 🤔

[@MrSkeezymak]

That pizza looked awful homey

[@maxineoliver7404]

Filtered water fresh from the river is ridiculously awesome!!💧🏞 And what a spectacular view that is from the tower! Your truck had to go to the test🌲🌲🌿🏖That beach was absolutely perfect for camping! 🤗 I'm glad that you've made out(whew!) in time for a pizza!🍕😄(a very healthy one though🍅🧅🫑👍)! It all was worth it in the end!Take care!🌄🌅

[@evan-austin2425]

i love all your videos man!! you inspire me to camp/ overland more! Keep it up!!

[@taconomad]

Being a Washington native, I’ve always said I’m hoppin on 5, or getting on i5. Never “the” 5 lol. Never even heard people call it that

[@janeysiegrist5061]

Im the same with I-5 but I do say the 405 though

[@tamarafaurot]

Born and raised in California and have never said the when referring to highways or freeways, but you are certainly free to do so. ❤️

[@jrinbody1]

And one more thing you definitely need and you might already have it is a military folding shovel

[@Top10Tibbz]

That pizza looked terrible

[@tracymartin8721]

❤️the new cut Glad you didn’t get stuck and keeep the great videos coming ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀😀

[@_y0d8_25]

its a So-Cal thing

[@CCaudits]

I'm disappointed at the end when you made coffee and sipped it you didn't say "WHEWW" :( lol

[@nikkis7844]

Yes I need that sound😂

[@kyleshultis4246]

Need to air your tires down to about 12 psi

[@krew879]

Come down the coast to Cali then visit pismo beach. Off of the 101. There’s a beach next to pismo called (oceano beach. You can drive your truck/ sxs/ dirtbike whatever throughout their dunes! It’s bad ass! Lol 🤙

[@1972CB350]

Toyota LOVES the check engine lights for crappy mass air flow sensors and oxygen sensors. Learn to change them yourself to save $$$. (FU Toyota!)

[@leandelossantos9998]

I enjoyed all of your videos.. howdy.. more videos please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊😊😊

[@moosethompson2652]

Love your videos of your camping adventures, whatever happened to your Bigfoot camper, and did you ever think of becoming a Chef, watching you cook always makes me hungry, lol, keep the Awesome videos coming!

[@robertlutz2244]

Are your curtains the so-called "black-out curtains"? Wouldn't you be more stealthy at night for instance, with black-out curtains?

[@glendanorman781]

Hmmm lived in California all my life (I'm 70 years old) and I've never heard or used "The" in front of any freeway, highway etc. Astoria in Oregon was in the Kindergarten Cop movie with Arnold S! \

[@WhoamI20233]

Get a cheap craftsman tire inflator. Runs on their 20v batteries/Wall outlet and 12v in your vehicle. They’re only like 50 bucks and it works pretty well. Plus they make fans that run off of the 20v batteries.

[@panorama5510]

Hi Jonathan. I really enjoy your videos. Was curious about this brand new overhead camper shell you drove 14 hours to get. I think you said California. Where did you get it, and how much is a new one? I assume you've already sold it before getting the Bigfoot?

[@yolandawray7153]

Well I'm from California and I'm used to saying the5, the 105 ,the Harbor Freeway 110 I moved to a new state some years ago and they call it the interstate I still call it the freeway like I'm used to the living in California

[@terryqueen3233]

Mad did you really bring back some memories for me. I used to spend a lot of time in Astoria, I dated a girl from there, and woke up in Astoria several times. I went to the top of that power before. You should have went down to the Mudflats and got some clams. Thank you so much for the excellent memories. Stay vigilant!

[@JayxRico]

Love Astoria. Visited twice and itching to go back. A lot of film history there.

[@hackedlion]

the hole the curtain rods man JB WEILD IM SORRY BUT SOMEONE HAS TO SAY IT

[@catherinelittlebear9863]

When i moved to Washington state from CA, i would say “the 105”. “the 106” and no one knew what i meant. They just had a blank stare.

[@patshankle3281]

I've been there it's where they filmed kindergarten cop. That's great to see places I've been. Love it, we went through there going to Depoe Bay. 💜

[@Aswajar]

That’s the only kind of water we drink too! We always go fill up our 10 5 gallon water jugs! Lol not exactly 10 but close enough!

[@smallmailman837]

I think it’s a SoCal thing to say ‘the’ before the highway number. I find it odd not to say it. Like do I say "take 10 to 57 to 210."

[@samjang6097]

Drove back thru the PNW and stayed in Astoria at a fish cannery converted hotel facing the Columbia River on our way back home to Glendale, CA after two weeks of driving up to grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier, then on to Calgary, Banff. Jasper, and then to Vancouver and back home thru Seattle, PNW, and Crater Lake. Looked for a Tundra camper KZbinr aling the way but no luck. But got to see some of the beauty that you’re showing us every week. Thanks for inspiration.

[@Arcticfox7]

How easy was it crossing over into Canada? Any hold ups?

[@donthomson1795]

Hey, what the hell? Where is the signature “ WOO” after the first sip of the fresh coffee???? Those of us that are avid followers need to hear that! Please and thanks….from Canada❤️

[@armenpogosyan9140]

Where are you?

[@camposvazquez]

Bra... You need a mullet and a foo man choo mustache.... Nickleback T shirt and kid rock base ball cap ..

[@mikeflippence6284]

Hey Jonathon I subscribed and love you videos man, I was just wondering what brand of camper it is that you have now on the tundra bcuz im wanting something similar to the one you have I'd you could let me know I would very greatly appreciate it

[@blairinhemet]

the 5 or the 91 is totally a Ca. thing--when I moved here from Kansas in 1988 I was for years still saying Interstate 5 or Highway 91 cause that's what I was used to

[@kenneththompson9491]

Thank you for going through all the trouble of showing us the view because where I'm in the wheelchair I can't go up in the stairs so you give people a different view that they would not get any other way thank you for making this video God bless you

[@sylviajones4907]

Beautiful views. Scary ordeal. Thanks for sharing!

[@michelewalters9421]

That is the Astoria Column and you can get a fridge magnet that reads you made it to the top of all 164 steps. You can also but some of the little balsa wood planes to fly off the top. Hoping you were kidding that the voice of the kid was rude. You should never apologize for other’s noise but also not think others are intentionally rude when you are filming. There are a few that might be intentional, but most are just life happening

[@CAgirrrrrrrrl]

Only southern Californians do that with their freeways. A northern Californian will not refer to 101 or 880 as 'the 101' or 'the 880'.

[@melissav3244]

we might come down to the Lincoln city/portland area... we travel in rentals and camp out along oceans. It would be neat to meet up with you... I've been following you since you left your apt and moved to oregon.

[@michelewalters9421]

Sliced toms are way better than diced on a pizza. Also Mr Fultanos is one of the best pizza shops in the Northern Coast. If you want paper plates and napkins all you have to do is ask and they will give you as much as you need.

[@snowbirdgardener]

Yes, it's a California thing. The 5, the 55, the 15 or the 215. In Colorado we say I-25 or I-70. I've lived both places.

[@marybev77]

What up with the sketchy-looking RV? Anyway, keep listening to your gut and stay safe. 💕

[@cousinjeb7116]

Bro! Next time you stay on that beach and you cook Ramen Noodles and you let future Johnny worry bout stuff!!

[@terrorbulyfe]

“The” 5 or “the” 101 is all a SoCal thing. We don’t say that in the Bay Area or NorCal. We just say 5 or 101 or 1

[@jakeheath1904]

Hey I’m looking into buying a camper like this. What is this the 44 inch tall from bel air campers?

[@lizetteasuncion247]

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS COMPLAIN TO EVERYTHING EVEN THE SLICES OPF PIZZA. ARE YOU PERFECT?

[@MrJmw8201]

Curious if the truck handled or drove much different with this setup? Theres a BelAir currently for sale and I'd like to see what your opinion on how the truck handled it

[@lorirex8161]

No..... the before the freeway number is just a southern California thing

[@maryhudnut2877]

Hi. How many steps does it have inside. I climb the statue of liberty years ago.and it has a little over 200. It goes all the way up to the crown. The steps were narrow and I was just a little girl then.

[@canuck9199]

you need anything special to air down.. a key will do... just make sure you can air up as soon as possible afterwards

[@lth1072]

I enjoy your videos mate. You're always down to earth and humble in your videos. Good luck 👍

[@NuclearAlex]

No "woo" after first sip of the coffee!? P.S. you can use any sharp object to lower your tire pressure, like the tip of a key: press the little metal center point of the tire stem.

[@becalmlivelifetothefullest6752]

I grew up back East so we say. I before the highway number example. I-95 I-91

[@purepearls2013]

I would like to see you travel to like South America or Thailand to visit and stay night in vehicle would be so cool to see the beautiful sights

[@stanw909]

Both places are named after John Jacob Astor. Fur trade millionaire.

[@baleriontheblackdread3852]

Astoria is the exact place where the classic 80’s movie The Goonies was filmed and they restored the house, so tourists can visit it.
