V10E13: Elevations in Big Sky Country

[@MightyMax34]

Not sure what changed in me, but I use to rarely watch your videos and now I can't stop. This channel may have taken the top spot for me and my overland addiction. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@MexicoDrones]

Great Video as always Chris. We are loving our Ursa Minor and without your influence would not be living this life. Its so amazing how much quality footage you get shot and edited in a weeks time. You have really inspired us in many ways. Thanks!

[@pattiwhite9575]

The addition of the dog made this video. He has the life. Just look at all the gorgeous places he saw. The fancy camp food. Ring a round the tree games. Taught how to build a fire. The jelly bean treats. Carried down a mountain from a shack he did not want to leave. Good times. He doesn't want it to end.

[@corwynhoward269]

Another outstanding video Chris.The change of pace is refreshing.Enjoy your time with your lady friend and keep it moving.

[@Fernando_gen.x]

As always, amazing video! Glad you found a companion, you definitely look a lot happier.

[@dgiturbo3247]

Your editing, transitions and narrating is documentary quality. You make some of the best videos I watch. Glad your happy(er) and eating healthy. Safe travels.

[@greatlakesoverlandersfrank3273]

Awesome video again, Chris. Really love seeing Finnegan in the video, they make great companions and they make a great warning alarm if something comes around the campground.

[@denayarbrough2346]

Your smile when you’re with your daughter is so wonderful.

[@SOTOPR]

girlfriend you mean

[@loren.the.alchemist]

Definitely not his daughter, that is Chris's girlfriend. Your comment is not awkward at all.

[@johnganshow5536]

Nice to share the adventures with someone special, makes the whole experience more rewarding. Thanks for taking us along!!

[@BucksMom218]

Wow...it’s even more beautiful than I imagine...love the wildflowers! Thanks for taking us along! Enjoy the time w your friend!💕🐾🐾

Dang got found out . Going around tree worked for a bit , says dog . Dang she keeps cooking like that all us single guys over landing are going to be asking for a cook book . Thanks for sharing your awesome videos and adventures with us all your over landing friends . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.

[@wilfromindiana7852]

Thanks for the share, what beautiful sites. An I must say, I hope you don't mind but, your lady friend has an absolutely beautiful laugh, I'm glad to see that you have found someone to share your travels with. Safe travels to you guys, and looking forward to seeing your next upload.

[@myytchannel6632]

She is very captivating. And she wants to be infront of the camera so bad.

[@hughwolfe1176]

My wife and I have been on the road fifty days, home two of the last month and I’ve worked one day... Two back to back trips AZ to OR as both of my wife’s parents passed. Really it’s not the time on the road that wears on you but the feeling of needing to be somewhere tomorrow. We’re home now and I can relax by watching Chris travel.

[@Boxfan2008]

Glad you have some company on your journey Chris! I'm so happy for you!

[@NewAgeDIY]

From Canada looking across the mountains to your last camp. Wonderful camera/editing work and supper shots made me hungry 😋 Keep going and we will see you in your next video

[@davidbarron100]

Best quality video on KZbin. Look forward to your post each week. Absolutely beautiful!!!

[@robmagu65]

You definitely seem much happier when your new GF joins you on your adventures. It makes a huge difference when you have someone special to share these adventures with. Looking forward to the time we get to meet her.

[@UBRLND-X]

Loving the occasional commentary and input of your traveling compassion. Being a native NW New Jerseyian, not living too far from your beloved OK4WD, and having a Native North Dakotan for a wife, its really cool hearing the same accents in play during your banter. What is the name of her formidable adventure pup who keeps scene stealing?

[@bernardcarpenter6949]

Another great video Chris. Your friend seems really nice. And a great cook. And her dog is a sweetie too. :) Stay safe you two. We'll see you next week.

[@ronsmith1364]

That waterfall/grotto & sheer wall. That was worth a close up inspection. Safe Journeys

[@gonzalopayan5619]

Chris looked extremely energized hustling through those trails and up those mountains.

[@josephcarriere450]

Awesome video. Great photography.

[@sandyhyatt1052]

If u would like some suggestions.....I live West of Kalispell in Marion. Go to Banack & Garnet....they are both old Mining towns. Both in Very different terrain. Garnet is in the Forrest & Banack is in the open rolling plains. Both very Interesting!!! Lots of History. If u like clean lakes then Hwy 2 West of Kalispell is the place to go.....Have Fun & Be Safe!! We have LOTS of Bears, Mountain Lions, Moose ( VERY aggressive & territorial) Good Luck on your Journey!! 🌻🌸🌻

Cheez-it’s are back! I must say the addition of the lady friend seems to be working out well. Seems like a helluva cook and is great with/on camera 👍

I would also recommend exploring thel Bitterroot Mountain Range in Montana. Great places there to explore, camp, hike, and enjoy.

[@shadowzinthegila1663]

Glad you have a friend to share your trips with

Just returned from northern Idaho and drove the road to the sun yesterday, ate lunch on the Yaak

Growing up there was a show called "Soupy Sales" he had a character off camera that you never saw except for his arm, your lady friend is off camera like "Fang"

[@franknowakowski3103]

The human hairy arm was Lennie, the white hairy arm was White Fang the black hairy arm Black Tooth.

Absolutely a breathtaking trip. God Chris the water is so beautiful. I don;t know how you can walk away from these sites without spending a week. heading into Idaho next month. Craters of the moon. Now I just want to keep going into Montana. Thanks for sharing

[@johnwalker3263]

All I can say is you inspire! Headed out on my next weekend for another adventure!

My wife and I have traveled all over the U S and Canada with motor homes gut not on the roads you travel. We are watching all your videos. Yours are the best of all the Overlanding videos. What you need is a Winnebago Revel. 👍

Looking forward to new adventures, always nice to cross the bridge

Beautiful Country up there, I need to get back its been about six years for me... if your heading south take a little detour and drive up through Red Lodge, MT. and down through Yellowstone awesome country and views...

[@isaacwrayphotography]

Chris, my gf and I love your videos, and are stoked to see you eating well! BUT, why do you always go swimming fully clothed? Hahah

[@Larrythe11th]

Finally, real food 🤤😋🥡🍽🍴🥄🍝🍜

[@alexanderweaver4838]

I watched a "Yellowstone" marathon and was in awe of Montana's epic scenery. You confirmed its beauty with this awesome video. Your friend seems to be an incredible cook. Is she, perhaps, a chef? She sounds wonderful! Sure would be nice to even see a reflection of her, Chris.

[@wcompto]

Little factoid.......most of Yellowstone is filmed in Utah

As always Chris, a fantastic and very interesting adventure story. I would love to do even a small percentage of the exploring that you do. Perhaps it will come to be one day. The granddaughter, aka "Li'l Bit" and I enjoy following along so much. Today is her 7th birthday, and she says hello.

Wow - each plate of food is enough for two people!!

You think the smoke was bad there, should see northern Nevada. It's been California burning since the beginning of June. Sometimes it's so thick it looks like fog. Really bad for your health. Thanks for the video! 🖐😁🇺🇸

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Fantastic share from all three of you. Thank you! My wife and I thoroughly enjoy every video that you post. We travel quite a bit with a small travel trailer using a 4Runner for our tame, off-road, day adventures. Your deeper exploration has us leaning toward a new phase of exploration with some mods to the 4Runner. I am curious how your Jeep with 315 tires passes inspection. I thought tire width becomes a problem.

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Thank you! I figured that was the case when I see some seriously wide tires on Jeeps and 4Runners driving the roads. I guess you could keep a stock set, pass inspection, and then switch back to the real tires.

[@myytchannel6632]

@@Tnapvrvideo Yup. That too. Use stock to pass and then change.

[@DeanJohnson67]

Dog says "I don't care what makes the fire I just care about what you MAKE with it" ;)

All this closed for Covid stuff is just getting old. That road to the tower is one that needs revisited for sure. That is some awesome country.

[@anybodyoutthere3208]

Jade Goodman first thing I thought when I saw that part of the video. My god..... will there be crowds of hikers huddled together in groups of 15-20 up there

The employees likely don't want to risk being infected from some eager tourists

How much longer is your gal going to be in the witness protection program? Love your videos..wish they were longer. Love the Dog too....be safe out there.

She wants to be infront of the screen bad. But Chris is scared that as soon as she starts talking on screen, she will win all the attention.

[@dandersonjr]

Watching you prepare that Taco salad I thought Chris is starting to eat healthy and then you went and dropped a half pound of sour cream on it. Oh well still better than hot dogs and pizza I suppose.

[@va7dgp]

Fires around Penticton BC. Not sure if it crossed the line +

[@azoutdoors2344]

I would love to be in Montana right now especially during summertime. However, being necessary at the moment my calling is to continue to repair HVAC equipment on the border with Mexico until tentatively September fourth. My employer unfortunately failed to fulfill their end of the agreement, so I tendered my resignation, and will be taking time off before going back to work again. Fortunately, a good HVAC tech. can find work anywhere if compensated fairly. Perhaps, Montana will be on the list of states to visit before business will commence again. Thanks for sharing.

slap ya mama seasoning is 1 of the best. being from New Orleans that kind of makes me an expert. :) the best cajun/ creole seasoning is Frog Bone. not easy to find in stores but available online.

Smoke was from most likely from Colorado. Was just there visiting my brother and camping week before this last. 2 MAJOR fires west of Ft. Collins and near Grand Junction.

We can sense fires via satellite nowadays - they probably have a team at home monitoring it 24/7. That's if the fire tower isn't still staffed. I wouldn't want potentially infectious people visiting my fire tower either tbh

Quick question for you I know it’s a matter of preference but after looking at those runaway Campers and Adding all my options, i’m at the same price as that same rooftop tent you have if you could go back would you keep this set up?
