Morning wood leftover I'm still laughing.

had a little morning wood myself, but the Mrs. took good care of it right away! 😁

[@Dodger5231]

We camped in that spot last spring, we towed a little trailer in so camping in the “cave” wasn’t an option, but we did enjoy a campfire up there. My daughter was so excited to see “our” campsite on your channel!

[@barbn1211]

You're a smart guy, Jonathan. You make all the right decisions when considering the safety of any situation. I see so many YT camping videos that are reckless, and I'm not sure if it's for clicks or because the creator lacks knowledge or that they are over-confident. This is one of many reasons why I support your channel. ✌️🇨🇦

[@1jackvalley580]

Yes, You Made A Wise Choice To Always Have Quick Safe Way Out, Never Box Yourself In Especially When You Have No Friends With You 🙏🐾❤️

[@tinacobina]

Another great video! Keep em coming!

[@thecyclist01]

Why didn’t you just turn the truck around first then camp?

[@ryanjaramillo8152]

He could still be blocked in

[@Raykenn1]

Enjoyed your video thanks for posting 👍

[@mariannlyda9509]

Epic views! Your videography never disappoints!

[@JohnLaFosse]

I picked up a 2kw vevor diesel heater, which was previously rare to find, for about $133. I had a halcory 5kw which did not got thru a shutdown due to an eventual loose ground and melted some plastic. It was an all in one. I’m much happier with the 2kw seeing it is metal housing and not all in one. The all in ones can leak fuel seeing the tank is right on top of the heater.

[@wellsbells75]

Such a beautiful dog. And shes so happy on your adventures!!!

[@tomterrell1761]

First thing I noticed was that some jackass painted graffiti on the rock overhang.... Lovely.

[@johnhahn8464]

I hate those people! Some of the biggest idiot pieces of sh.. on the planet! Ruin everything for everyone else!

[@amandamaud9170]

Really have to do the , "woooo", after your first shot of coffee. Makes me cheer my coffee 😉

[@JonnyDIY]

10:27 🤣💕👏👍And wow that sand boarding was too cool, I was wondering if you had wax though. PS- Oatmeal recipe was interesting. Looked mighty tasty 🤙

[@bunzerelli]

Yo! If you toast the oats first with butter or oil, it reduces the cooking time and gives a nutty taste and toasty texture.

[@christianmollo3239]

Very smart. Always have a quick way out. Probably the most important lesson in Van and Camper Life 👊🏼 Great video as always

[@epicelements5528]

I know he doesn’t live in his truck full time but, for those of you that were wondering why he was so adamant about if something were to happen and he had to leave quickly, It’s pretty much a driven thought process to all of us that spend a lot of time living in a vehicle. It becomes natural to think this way even in a totally safe place. It may seem weird but it’s smart because bad things have happens to vehicle dwellers in very safe places and you always have to be prepared to save yourself. As a full time female solo vanlifer It’s the first thing I think about even if I roll into a Walmart in the middle of the night lol!

[@Whistler326]

Love your sentiments....( due diligence is smart) , and will always take this advice!!

[@daveforz]

exactly. I’ve had a couple bad experiences myself as a man, and I would say I always sleep in safe locations. Bad things do happen.

[@mikereo2379]

Always go with your gut feelings. That's your sixth sense. Learned that living in Vegas.

[@ronaldwarren5220]

May God bless you and give you safe travels.

[@haleybrumback7738]

That first spot was sweet; maybe next time you can back in after making the five point turn Love your adventures and your pup; safe travels!!

[@Mbizmo-sh4oy]

You’ll love a diesel heater. It’ll easily heat as much as you need and you could even crack a window if you want a little fresh air. It’s a dry heat too, unlike the Buddy heater. They are fantastic!

[@isaacturnerit]

Dude sand boarding looks epic!

[@adamhubbard9702]

You should try out one of those Chinese diesel heaters! And maybe an insulated pop tent! Stay warm!

[@brendabinczewski7624]

Thank you for a beautiful scenery video. I loved it. Kaya is becoming a very good girl. Take care

[@mistermike6036]

I couldn’t stop laughing at the morning wood 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@colberoni]

Ayyye nice Wild Fly hat! Scottie is the man.

[@RyderNight99]

Video idea: security. Picking sites, what to look for, overnight security, weapons? Idk. I’d be interested to learning what you look out for, as an aspiring solo camper.

[@jhonnelelegaspi7125]

Kaya is having fun 😊

[@OutdoorSerenity77]

Steel oates with avocado and maple syrup, with venison sausage and over medium eggs, was a every day breakfast when i was younger. Loved it. Stay safe and good adventures! ✌️

[@russellweber3466]

I like how you never have to talk your dog into doing wonderful interesting things.

[@marsettenmohn]

super smart of JY to not run the Buddy at night. I knew someone that got CO poisoning doing that

[@-t21]

Honestly im glad you mentioned that sweater, cause the past 2 episodes i was wondering what brand and where you got it. Thanks man.

[@BKJonezy]

I always enjoy the humor in these videos, thanks for bringing us along!

[@robertjohnson1403]

Campsite selection is all about understanding microclimates. For winter camping in the desert you want to find campsites that are in the open sunshine and out of the wind. The perfect site would have a south facing rock wall behind camp to absorb the sun and partially block the wind. Sunshine in the morning is most important as that is the coldest part of the day. That cave was cool but it would be in the shade and stay cold all day so better fall or spring camping or if it was windy and cloudy like the day a storm is moving in.

[@Jnels64]

I love your adventures and your beautiful pup! You are a great dog dad, she's taken care of really well. ❤

[@simonKagree]

That's crazy, how excited Kaya gets about the sand boarding -- and no matter how fast you go, she's faster. I assume that shining the light around the campsites at night is about checking for eye reflections from mountain lions and coyotes -- not unreasonable when traveling with a dog. Not so crazy is your supper. I haven't tried steel-cut oats yet, but I do that all the time with couscous, polenta, or rice. They're all delicious and filling, and the couscous cooks up super fast. I don't care for Le Croix, but enjoy seltzer with powdered Dad's Root Beer or Gatorade in little packets.

[@rampar77]

Oat meal cooked in water and mixe with cooked ground turkey, chicken or other meat, green pea, plus walnut and blueberry is actually my breakfast of champion pre workout 5 times a week

[@ToyMachine506]

Nice to see you back Jonathan ,i realy injoy youre videos

[@MKKSeabreeze]

LOVE the desert southwest! Looking forward to more! 👍😊

[@ThelifeofDaryl]

I had no idea it gets so cold in the desert. Gotta love Morningwood lol.

[@samueljlarson]

Deserts are som of the coldest climates on earth.

[@johnhahn8464]

It's snows in the desert too. Can be deceivingly cold to many that are unaware.

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@blasianbeauty24]

The Spider Man series was my favorite!

[@edithaquino-js4pf]

Gee🤩 what an adventure! Despite the cold & chilly nights an d day❄️☃️

What? No mini blow torch fire starter? HaHa, cheers! 😂

Your dog is so beautiful ❤

[@donnapatterson4615]

Loved the sand boarding. Great fun.

[@JonathanYentch]

Twas a blast!

[@michaelrossiter-iz4gp]

That was a fun video. Glad to see you back to enjoying yourself.

[@sheilacaine]

😂😂 that was fun and beautiful too as usual. Love watching Kaya getting her run in. She’s cute. Not sure if I spelled her name right. ❤❤

[@BartBuzz]

A spectacular campsite. And some amazing drone/camera footage. I agree that safety always comes first...especially in unfamiliar venues. Thankfully, there were no predators to fend off. I had never heard of sandboarding. I think Kaya had more fun than you. Thanks for sharing!

[@NancyCain-u6h]

Another great video! Jonathan. So happy to see you and kaya out there. Having fun. And your food looks amazing as usual

[@JonathanYentch]

Thanks for being here! The recipe is a yummy one

[@NancyCain-u6h]

@JonathanYentch 💜

[@wascarbaez5615]

Some unforgettable camping spots. l wouldn’t mind getting stuck there!

[@amyburns3237]

Sand boarding! Who knew!

[@VaguelyMeandering]

Kaya seems the perfect adventure buddy! Sand boarding looked like fun! Always listen to you instincts...if something doesn't seem safe, it most likely isn't. Safety first!

[@hannahzander9541]

Wow....wasn't expecting that. That's new to me. Sandboarding!

[@paulabaker8403]

Great video!❤

[@davidbaron6647]

Jonathan always go with your gut, it was smart to move before then in the middle of a issue, Great Views in the video. Damn I am old and out of touch I did not know sand boarding was a thing. lol. Have a wonderful week

[@schassis_eddi]

If you had a diesel heater you’d have to struggle keeping the battery charged and having enough spare diesel in an extra tank. My diesel heater consumes little less then a gallon if I run it on low over night. And the lead acid batter I have maybe will last 2 nights. It takes forever to trickle charge the battery. Just be mindful you’ll need some sort of way to charge it from your trucks alternator while you’re driving. Also a power stations 12v cigarette lighter usually doesn’t have enough amperage to warm the glow plug so be careful

[@lulehmberg601]

Oh yes,thats cold. But u manage and thats great👍. Nice Video like always!!✌️

[@edwardseth1230]

handwarmer pack.. 3 for your sleeping bag... 3 for your dog... wool socks for getting in the sleeping bag.. and 1 empty bottle with cap.. if you wanna shushu in the night.

[@christinaalameda6206]

Hi Johnathan wise decision. I agree. where your at looks much safer. 🥰🌹💯🙏

[@jimg915]

I agree with you 100% on not camping in the top location. Being able to easily leave a spot in a hurry is a good idea when camping alone.

[@TyrantTiger85]

Trusty ol buddy heater, gotta stay warm ✌️

[@deborahcunningham7178]

Hi Jonathan, maybe get a heated blanket that uses a usb that I can charge I have 2 from Amazon just Incase power goes out, I also have a small solar powered charger that I use, great investment 👍🏽

[@dallaskye]

You chose a brave time to come camp in Utah. Definitely one of the colder winters we've had in a while

[@JonathanYentch]

Yeah it’s definitely the coldest weather I’ve experienced there!

[@bubl8015]

I like your videos so much more living out of the back of your truck...Having bare things is more enjoyable to watch than having everything...

[@56DreamGirl]

10:27 I legit spoke the words “that’s what she said” and then you looked at me all weird and made the correction 🤣🤭 I fr felt so weird like “wth did he just hear me and react to what I said? He must’ve heard my thoughts”🤪🤣

[@56DreamGirl]

Also 18:23 lololol why am I like this 🤭

[@tripresidue]

I wouldn't have camped in there either, but I might have tried to back in.

[@carlosperez9601]

Camping is beautiful

[@1157Kate]

Cool video!!!

[@robertagabaldon9640]

Great video.

[@peterrabbitroberts4469]

Thanks for the sand boarding/ if you ever make it to south Colorado there is a huge sand dune there.

[@Decepticon215]

Hahahaha, loved the morning wood comment. Sorry, I have the maturity of a child.

[@tedphillips2951]

You should have used grits instead of oatmeal, maybe with some cheddar cheese. Yum

[@petergiers8515]

An ignik 12v heater pad of blanket really helps.

[@CaughtSmokin]

You worry to much brother. Live it up.

[@LadyMonica]

Awesome scenery! Have you thought of rigging a tent over your sleeping area to keep more warmth? I saw someone rig one with a moving utility blanket overhead. Kaia is so adorable. It's great seeing the two of you on your adventures. Would've never mixed steel oats with anything other than fruit. Interesting. Stay safe.

[@IdaniaSalazar-w8r]

Hello ima new subscriber i love you videos and you did the right things no parking in that space always be safe take care

[@JonathanYentch]

Howdy! Glad you’re here 👋

[@davidrice6989]

How bout some snow!👍

[@DigitalPetrol]

Cool music for the sandboarding segment!

[@valeriefrench9405]

Kaiah is so well behaved. How did you teach her not to beg when you’re eating? My new puppy is a monster 😆

[@geebroni4118]

Loved that pink sand in that Kanab area. Did you make it to Peekaboo Slot Canyon?

[@ChasingTheAdventureOutdoors]

When you made the 5 point turn to get back down, why not just reverse into the camp spot?

[@stephennowicki7158]

Nice😊

[@tacoman3543]

Your should get a 5th gen 4Runner!

[@Jaypher]

Yellowbird hot sauces are sooooo good!

[@nowthatsurban]

Did a 5 point turn to leave? Why not do the 5 point turn then reverse into the camping spot? Wonder if you were more concerned about sleeping under the big rocks than anything.

[@melissav3244]

It's been -45 Celsius lately here in Canada... Common up lol

[@JonathanYentch]

I’ll sit this one out 😆

[@RubenFue01]

Dude! Tell me that’s coral pink sands? I was just there in October it’s awesome. Super quiet and low key

[@garymcgee1874]

Coral Spring Sand Dunes state park check out Big Al's Burgers has the best fry sauce in Kanab.

[@nomaderic]

Then theres me in my Toyota corolla "i can u turn anywhere!" 😂

[@dnonya5208]

Were you on the border of Utah and Arizona? Love the doggy❤❤❤

[@adrianbanks4487]

Have you ever considered building a camper for the back of the Tacoma. I saw a recent video of a guy that built one, turned out great. Would be great content for your channel

[@JonathanYentch]

This 2.7L Tacoma already struggles to keep up with traffic as it is, a camper would be the nail in the coffin 🤣 Maybe on a different truck one day!

[@joesprague1464]

The sand gets slower midday.

[@SubUrbanNinja-EDC]

Beautiful place. You should put the GPS coordinates in the description so people can click and go there.

[@genespell4340]

Then it would be overrun with people and many of them wouldn't respect the area.

[@SubUrbanNinja-EDC]

@genespell4340 true...very true.

[@Sam-ck4gd]

Got to feel comfortable. No fun moving at 2AM because you cant sleep.

[@nicedivots]

Does your cat and Kaia get along? Would love to see them together 😊

[@DigitalPetrol]

Good morning!

[@sgrun100]

Great video! How many miles do you have on the truck? I have 204k on my 4 runner and still runs great

[@djjus6004]

I noticed you put fire out with water. Was you afraid the dirt catch on fire?

[@winstonrobinson6732]

You think those rocks at the overhang fell down sometime? I would be scared to camp there.

[@royjohnson4229]

Maryland was that cold all week
