V10E8: Curiosity in the Colorado Alpines

[@calsurflance5598]

If your videos aren’t the best advertisement for Jeep than I don’t know what is! Fantastic!

[@jimmykatsaounis3476]

I really just realized this is one the most relaxing and entertaining show I look forward to every week.

[@chrismc.893]

Ditto! It’s my medicine for life haha!

[@vonrollveeg]

I enthusiastically agree. I watch and wave of well-being spreads all over me.

[@anybodyoutthere3208]

I agree 1000%! Im just mesmerized each and every week. Plus he has the most calming easy going voice.

[@rw4686]

I agree - I don't like the others always blasting music or whatnot. this is very peaceful.

[@changingdirection443]

I agree also, love every video. I envy him.

[@dennisbudd8102]

The window started working again because the Jeep knows you are considering side lining it and it isn't ready to be put out to pasture just yet. I've 4 wheeled Colorado twice and enjoy watching your videos. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for posting them.

[@stephaniearellano4605]

Chris, I gotta say your channel is by far my favorite nature/adventure channel. Your content is so pure. It almost feels as if I am out there traveling myself. Thank you for doing what you do! Your videos have impacted the lives of all of us who follow you in such a positive way!

[@fj9460-lr]

You made the right decision to come off the mountain; staying safe and healthy for another day is the intelligent thing to do

[@hardy1416]

Can’t wait for the next video 😊but have a good save time next week 🍀👍

[@chrisjeep777]

Great adventure Chris! Glad you will be taking some time to recharge and get some things done for yourself. Keep that JEEP rolling as it’s part of your adventure in life.

[@IoanMyrorOfficiel]

I’m a fan viewer from France. Freedom, à jeep and beautiful landscapes of usa ! Thx you to share your adventure ❤️ Jeep will be give you a Free new jeep, you will be the greatest client they have ^^

[@darynfinnegan4372]

been watching your channel for well over a year finally getting an ursa minor for my JL. Thanks for the inspiration Chris

[@jeffreybaba2383]

While you are not the most entertaining person to watch, your photography is AMAZING!!! I will defiantly be watching a lot more.

[@ChukesOutdoorAdventures]

Chris you are an inspiration! Because of you I got a Tacoma with a tent and started making videos up here in Alaska. Please never stop!!

[@fj9460-lr]

Chris, I’m so jealous of the views and natural spirit you’re experiencing,; traveling unencumbered the way you do is real peace of mind!!

[@PWlangford1]

I think he’s lucky however not everyone would enjoy it. 🇨🇦

[@renhone1449]

Chris, just a note to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. I live in Idaho, and can sure relate to your travels. Thanks again. Ren

[@MrLuigimassicotti]

Great photography. Excellent video!

[@wilfromindiana7852]

I know eventually the time's going to come, when you're going to have to upgrade your vehicle. And I don't know if it's just me but, I just love your Jeep. I get it, you're looking for something bigger, something more accommodating. I've just been amazed by your setup, how efficient it is and all the places you've been. I know it's a stupid thing to say but, we haven't just fell in love with your story, we've also fall in love with that beautiful Jeep of yours. Interested in seeing what your choice will be, however no matter what, I'm going to miss that little Jeep of yours when you do. Also I'm Amazed in how you have grown, honing your craft, becoming a true story teller. just know that we are grateful, extremely grateful for the gifts that you have bestowed on us with your videos, story's and your adventures you share with us. Enjoy your downtime, and we look forward to your next upload in 2 weeks. Be safe Chris😀

[@johnwalker3263]

I know what you mean! I’ve built a clone of sorts for use on my adventures.

[@sonnicman]

Yes, it’s going to be a really tough moment...but inevitably that moment will come and he needs to plan for it. Initially I was thinking he should go with a JL, but then I thought about the investment he has in the long range America fuel tank and other items, which not be able to be transferred/converted over to the JL.

[@wanderer1343]

Chris, you are never lame, but careful. Carful is the way you should be. Be safe, i enjoy your adventures. I cannot wait until you return.

[@domenicc9099]

Awesome podcast. As your about section indicates, modest, but realistic and someone who is literally living the dream so many of us have

[@brucel399]

Glad you get the Jeep serviced regularly. It takes a beating being in the trails and roads constantly. Safe Travels. Cheers from Colorado

[@zachwilson6365]

Another great video Chris! Thanks for the virtual visit through the Rockies

[@pamharvill621]

Great video and I must say you take the most beautiful scenery around thank you for sharing

[@erichughes9098]

I. Can not wait for your next video 😎👍

[@toniemoronie1984]

Excited for the next part of your journey. Safe travels!

[@dabaird12]

Thank you for all of the truly AWESOME VIDEO 👍👍✌

[@jasonweiss2773]

Wanted to add another comment. While you were exploring the San Juan's, I was taking my wife and daughter on my daughter's first camping and fishing trip. July 12th through the 14th. Just thought was cool to watch a video at the exact same time we were camping. We were at twin lakes, but it was still cool. Thanks for enjoying our state the right way

[@Johnfmolinelli]

Thank you for sharing your incredible adventures!!! You are the best content creator on KZbin! I look forward to your episodes and live vicariously through them! They provide such comfort and peace... especially now. Thank you!!!!

[@KL00100]

I hope Jeep is watching and listening to your channel.

[@brianmombourquette2673]

You remind me of Calvin and your Jeep is obviously your orange and black tiger, Hobbes. Always on an amazing adventure together! And then crashing back into reality on a regular basis, doesn't slow you down at all :-)

[@rodspov1915]

Awesome Episode Chris! Thanks for another one! Take care.

[@peteacevedo3411]

Great video Chris each week we all say the same thing, but it’s true your channel shows the true beauty of our State.

[@ryanryz64]

Great episode! Just a tip for eating backpacking meals while car camping: I always dump the food into the pot of boiling water. It's much easier to eat and you can keep in warm while it hydrates. The instruction have you cook it in the bag for the convenience of cleanup while backpacking.

[@Norseman68]

Thank you. We will be in that same area in a couple of weeks. This gives us even more idea on where we want to explore!

[@ladkfjaldfhslad]

Chris thank you for keeping the content coming. It helps us break away from all the things going on and it just makes us feel like we are there with you

[@VentureAHighway]

What a beautiful video all around. A great way to break up my day, thank you

[@guykulwanoski1629]

Awesome campsites. Thank you for bringing us along. God Bless!

[@sultana.6375]

I love your content and adventures. I look forward to them every week. Thank you, sir.

[@timetogodoug]

Thanks Chris, have a great couple of weeks of rest and relaxation.

[@wyattoneable]

I always enjoy your videos. I will miss you next week.

[@kelmscot21237]

As always, thank you for bringing us along for the ride. Beautiful video!

[@alberteller7286]

What a wonderful video the scenery was just outstanding I believe you are the best camera operator on KZbin you really show it all. Thanks a lot for taking me along I so enjoyed it see you down the road.

[@truckerrickakamanowar]

You were excercising good judgement. You are on these adventures solo. I would not call what you do ...ever lame. Always look forward to your weekly videos on a Saturday morning preferably with a good hot cup of coffee.

[@Dutch1951x]

BEAUTIFUL! I think this video lowered my blood pressure!

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

As always another great video. Totally understand thinking about the lifespan of your vehicle and taking some much deserved time off. Hope you enjoy yourself and get recharged. Looking forward to your next one.

[@Arrynek01]

I knew it's Ophir pass! What a beautiful piece of land.

[@GUILLERMO.NESPOlO]

The new gladiator !!! With a camper made by Ursa Minor !!! That can be a real dream came true

[@thomasrsunday8945]

Your Jeep is a Champ, man!!

[@alexh6738]

Hey man! It’s not lame to turn around. I loved how the next scene was your jeep all set up in the trees. That was opposite of lame. Don’t let the “what if” take away from the “what is”🤙🏼 love that channel!

[@hereandthere8900]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.

[@fredahickey5403]

I love watching all the natural beautiful of some of the places you go to .great videos

[@fernandodurazo77]

Estimado Chris! Te envío un saludo desde la CDMX en México. Soy un gran admirador tuyo. Deseo el mayor de los éxitos en tus aventuras y me gustaría por favor pudieras contestar a este saludo. Seguiremos atentos a tus publicaciones y de corazón el día que cambies tu amado Jeep Orange, yo seré uno de tus más confiables seguidores para conservarlo y ahorrar para poder comprartelo! Gracias por todas tus aventuras y gracias por mostrar tu país con con amor que demuestras a la naturaleza y al campismo como tu lo haces. You are the best.

[@ramiromontoya9357]

Thank you for such great footage.

[@anybodyoutthere3208]

LOVE that face when the window finally went up! 🤣I had to play that back a couple times. This is seriously one of the best You-tube channels around Chris. Thanks so so much for your wonderful videos. Getting me through these crazy times~👍

[@psycocavr]

Cheezit Eating Mac & Cheeze! I really like your videos. You have have a great eye for angles, views and camera positioning. Simple things like cooking breakfast look beautiful. Your scene cuts are better than any other vlogger i follow. Thanks for letting us in on your life & travels.

[@IndefiniteGentlemen]

omgosh he was SO HAPPY when the window started working.

[@gringo3009]

Beautiful area! Man you put in a lot of work to produce these videos! Thank you!

[@Chevy4x4dawg]

Thanks for the Colorado tour!!! Some of my favorite areas. I have been to alot of the same places, trails, and camp sites you showed.

[@windowcreek1798]

What an awesome video. Amazing. Cheers.

[@gerrymiles4278]

I think as a solo adventurer like yourself playing it safe is always best, love your judgement and enjoy your videos keep up the safe lifestyle, god bless.

[@trekkinnw3568]

Good to see you today!! Internal combustion and.....bluetooth..lmao that was classic you!! Safe travels

[@scottbowman5673]

Thanks for the great vids again, beautiful! Can’t wait until I see your next adventure.

[@donsdiys1140]

Been waiting for this all day

[@peterkandel9191]

That ghost town is a real treat especially how it does not get the traffic the loop does. Thanks for not divulging the site. You can expect showers daily here on out. Hope you made it up to American Basin!

[@robertedwards7430]

Always go with your gut, I appreciate being prudent. It’s not lame, your just being smart. There’s thousands of people in the park system every year that ignore their gut with bad results.

[@grn9209]

You are showing me a lot of places to visit!!! THANKS

[@RonStanek]

Good one Chris! There will be many more opportunities to reach another summit. On some other mountain, with better conditions. It's all what the spirit feels at the moment, not before or after. Happy trails until @ the 31st, Good Luck with the Jeep. PS, any noises, have 'em checked out that's what there there for. Doctor WHO be with you!

[@Perry3377]

Chris, you are definitely not lame. Whenever I'm wheeling Solo I always try to err' on the side of caution. Keep your wheels on the ground.... At least 3 of them! Definitely keeping an eye on the weather in the Rockies. Hail storms can be nasty along with the lighting in that dry mountain air. Safe travels Perry

[@warrenweisfus709]

@Perry 33.....1967 @ West Yellowstone campground.....got hit with a sudden slush ball storm....they were about the size of golf balls and when they hit the ground they splattered in all directions with a shwrishhing sound.....very cool !

[@Perry3377]

Went to a Rockies game last summer and parked next to a Dodge Ram that was caught up in an hail storm in the mountains.... It literally looked like you beat it with a hammer.

[@Perry3377]

@Way to go, Craig most definitely not lame... Hiking with a backpack and menuvering an 4000 lbs SUV on the trail are two different things.

[@Perry3377]

@Way to go, Craig Well, that's your opinion Craig. Been in the mountains plenty of times and have had the weather change for the worse in a matter of minutes.... Lost a friend last year who lost control only 1k feet above me. As Men I believe we are better off using our heads than our egos. That's all I have to say. Safe travels Craig. Perry

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris your videos are second to none, I start looking forward to your next along about Thursday afternoon... Hey that crack in the fender. Get yourself a drill bit somewhat larger than the cracks width and drill a hole in the sheet metal right at the end of the crack. It relives the stress being created within the crack to stop it growing further.

[@TheModernHomestead]

Spent time in the San Juan's - Loved Platoro (back in the 90's). Came down through Colorado City, Walsenburg, spent a night in Alamosa and then up to the San Juans. Great time.

[@Mink_24]

Love how you are incorporating some ground camping in to your episodes ... though I am bummed about no episode next week ... enjoy the break and stay safe!

[@marianfrances4959]

Hello from Alberta Canada 😉🇨🇦 great footage! 👍🌲

[@elchris2788]

Wow. Excellent and relaxing video. 🤙🏼

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Thank you Chris... Safe travels 🇺🇸🙏

[@christopherbuckley94]

I always enjoy and appreciate the places you visit and your photographic interpretation of them. The memorial to the trains was interesting. The area you are in was full of narrow gauge railways serving mining interests and most were connected to each other. For example, the tourist train between Durango & Silverton was connected to the Combres & Toltec which is mainly in New Mexico. Quite a history.

[@sandyhines1271]

Fantastic video Chris! Loved the opening at Carson. I met you last weekend at the campground at Lake San Cristobal outside Lane City with our mutual friend from Wyoming. Thanks for showcasing our mountains so well. Travel on!

[@jdedmnds1]

Ah july 31st, retirement day. I can haardly wait.

[@kingarthur9157]

Ah August 31st, quitting day. I can hardly wait.

[@nwpia]

I remember when I was very young my foster dad said, " Never give up. Once you commit to something no matter how hard it is, or dangerous, you will over come those obstacles" . I turned around once during a hike to Lake Blanca one year because of bad weather. When I got back to the parking lot some guys asked if I was part of the photo crew for the topless photo shoot at the lake? I learned a valuable lesson that day. If you are going to be an adventure guy you are going to take some risk otherwise you are just a jeep guy driving down some dirt road. You totally lamed out on that hike and then put it in the video. I still like your videos but man up dude.

[@bbgg2007]

Another great video, my family and I were running some of those trails just days after you passed through this area!

[@betsyroy6269]

You are living my dream. I live for adventures. I get out there but not in a set up like yours.

[@NarleyAdventures]

The Jeep heard your musings .......... hence the passenger window healed up ;)

[@conniewaite1996]

Those 2 trails were awesome,my jeep window does that too.italso has a problem with the turn signal,starts to work then when I turn the wheel it quits working.what a beautiful train out in the middle of nowhere,oh the things you find.have a safe time off

[@amx19733]

Best thing on tv alway!!!!

[@msstegman2]

I love seeing exact spots I stopped to take pictures!

[@davidlong3247]

Great videos. Love Colorado.

[@lucasjacobs123able]

Your videos are great you do such a good job!

[@chriswaldrop5641]

I don't know if Jeep has a museum, but when the time comes Chris's "Orange Wonder" sure deserves to be a part of that or any collection. Fiat Chrysler also needs to pony up and gift Chris a brand new Rubicon since he has been a significant and free brand ambassador now for a couple of years.

Blue tooth is awesome indeed LOL. Enjoyed as always!

[@TradShowTom]

Ophir Pass is on my bucket list. I passed by the town of Ophir in 2004 but didn't do the pass because I only had a 2WD pickup. The town of Ophir itself is pretty interesting. I stopped into the post office, just a tiny hut, and talked to the lady there. She said the people of Ophir don't like people visiting. The shops are basically hidden and you have to know where they are or you'll never find them. The sign for the town was on the side of the post opposite the road so people couldn't see it. She also told me the town went to court and sued the state to get the sign with the town name removed from the road.

[@BadHorsie2]

I bet that crack in the fender is from when you laid the jeep on it side up in Canada.

[@greglong2784]

Good point.

[@therussmccurdy2602]

That's what I thinking too

[@seanfrank4158]

First thing to cross my mind too....

[@Yettee0201]

yeah unless that fender is a polymer of some sorts I don't see the battery/tray causing that.

[@TheGreywolf238]

Yea he talks about getting another vehicle, but he doesn't say how many miles does he have on that Jeep?

[@jbf5030]

I hope your next vehicle is still a Jeep. If it’s not, I’ll still follow the adventure. But I have to admit, if it weren’t for the Jeep, I never would have even found this channel. Good luck!

[@johnadams1818]

Chris, awesome content as usual, keep doing what you're doing. I always look forward to your videos. Love to see a fellow Lancaster County fella out there living their passion. Thanks for the videos!

[@spanky101000]

Tundra or Tacoma with a 4Wheel Camper on the back might be worth serious consideration. Thank you for the great videos.

[@PLUTON9475]

Very nice trip. Always watching your channel. 🖒

[@runner7961]

Priceless reaction to window deciding to work again😂. On vehicle note your jeep is a dream, but did someone see a new bronco revel? Way to play it safe on mountain. Safety is never Lame in my option. Love the content and adventures keep up the great videoing and adventures!

[@absmith001]

Nice video, thanks for sharing. You were very close to The Black Canyon of the Gunnison. It's definitely worth checking out.

[@kirk189]

Wow Colorado just gets better and better Thanks for the video👍🏼👍🏼 looking forward to the ID, MT, Wyoming !!

[@exrhodie1234]

Chris, this was one of your best ever. Outstanding photography as always. I've ridden some parts of that area on my dualsport a few years ago, but this inspires me to take a closer look at the area. Stay safe.

[@michaelm5734]

Just Empty Every Pocket. I loved my Jeep tho. Lived in Colorado 58 years and 4 wheeled everywhere. Love the videos.

[@iltonrotta]

Amazing views, how gratefull you are for living in a place like this. Thanks for sharing with was. I'm watching from Brazil. Please in a new episode show to us about your car and the changes you made on it thanks

[@PaulThomsen1E]

The door window spoke at 20:15: keep the Jeep! Or at least keep a Jeep (Wrangler). I can only speak for myself, but you're the living the Jeep dream for me when I can't (though I live quite a wonderful Jeep dream when I can). Anything else is a different audience.
