V3E11: Overland Expo West and More

[@TrailRecon]

It was great to finally meet you in person Chris, best of luck to you on your future adventures and I look forward to your upcoming videos!

[@parkersmith4551]

TrailRecon it was surreal seeing you on venture 4wd! I follow both Chris’ and your channels religiously, so this crossover was amazing.

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Would love to see you guys do a joint venture. Invite coyote works along too. Chris needs as much camp cooking guidance as he can get!

[@montyjoel]

@@eugeneenslow8563 I've thought the EXACT same thing. That would be great t see the 3 of them together.

[@scottbruce9872]

Best coverage vid of Overland Expo West 2018.

[@WaypointOverland]

Meeting you was a major highlight to my journey to Overland Expo West! Safe Travels.

[@UBRLND-X]

it was cool to see my two favorite overland posters; Venture4wd and TrailRecon meet at the event. lol great vid, showcasing the new, the cool, and what the real overlanders are utilizing these days. thanks for the solid coverage, Chris!

[@guyusun2971]

Two cars, two people, this trip is very exciting!

[@michaelide9380]

Okay, I am big fan and very impressed and envious of your quest . I live in northwest and you should travel up to north central idaho. Wonderfull country with tons of hot springs! !! Take highway 93 north to montana and you will be stuned !!! I believe I will have to become pledge for you , keep the faith and adventure !!!

[@jeepdriver9602]

Hi Chris, this is Bill. It was great to meet you. I walked up with Jen and JB when you were in the parking lot and Monty came running up to you. I have been following your ventures for a while now. Safe Travels for all of you.

[@JenniferLangille]

Bill!! It was WONDERFUL to meet and spend time with you and JB!

[@SwellRunner]

Great to meet you as well! Great video! Fun to relive the great time that we had! Camera work looks great! Sure you noticed the autofocus hunting a little, like we’d talked about. There is some great stuff on KZbin on how to tweak it! Audio was great too!

[@allenheaps2084]

Love the fact that you spend a lot of time in and out of Utah. It truly is a beautiful State with so much diversity. You have to admit Utah has beautiful mountain ranges to explore. PS it's pronounced U - in - ta nat'l forest.

[@christ-runnerdavidhettenba4029]

This one of the best expo videos I have seen, excellent content well put together. It’s a totally thumbs up 👍

[@14pro4x8]

Chris, really liked this video of just walking around. Shows the magnitude of this event and gets you excited to want to go to one. Maybe Asheville this team as it is closer than west. This was really great thanks for taking the time, wish I could have been there. Safe travels.

[@patrickjames5082]

I didn’t get to meet you at expo but my power wagon made your video

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

AWESOME VIDEO ! GLAD YOU GOT TO MEET SOME OF THE KZbinRS I FOLLOW & WITH YOU TOO ! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE FUN STAY SAFE ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! SO COOL !

[@410Expedition]

16:07 video bomb by Jason!!! LOL! Great vid Chris.

[@drumber]

“Your name is Chris Shontz and you use toilets as tables.”

[@BlueCollarDIY]

That one cracked me up!

[@donewhiskey]

Which was literally the reason I want one. Double duty. Heh.

[@yohanfu2807]

Great job Chris,nice video like always.✌happy to see Jen again.

[@ke7ami]

Chris, Thanks for sharing another part of your journey. Now that I’m caught up, I have more reason to look forward to Fridays.

[@raksh9]

By the way, that Mercedes Sportsmobile at 18.11 looks amazing. All terrain tires, lift kit, winch, ladder, roof rack, snorkel, extra lights beside the side mirrors and upper light bar. Amazing.

[@mjlewis7100]

I amso happy you and Jenn have reconnected. She is a keeper. Love your channel.

[@oldadamaccount3167]

Lol, we saw Frank Lopez at 6:13!! Great video and coverage as always, Christo! It was great seeing you! Come visit us back East soon!

[@jimbobjones1858]

Hey Chris, congrats on the 100 000 miles!

[@makeyourownadventure1653]

I am enjoying your journey Chris! The video on the new camera is looking great and I am looking forward to next Friday!

[@3.2.1.adventure4]

@lifestyle overland, @teamhunt and yourself are overland inspiration, keep up the great work!

[@SteveCChapman]

It’s so funny when a KZbinr I watch randomly walks up to a family and talks to them about overlanding, and it’s another KZbinr I watch! Small world! @lifestyleoverland

[@scottdeney5970]

That was a great video..... Thanks Can't wait for the next one.

[@waypointlost6113]

It was nice to meet you Chris at Overland Expo. I really enjoy you videos. I hope you liked Mike Hess IPA. If you ever come around San Diego area, hit me up and I'll bring more. Best of luck to you buddy. Ursa Minor unit # 42 (the Russian).

[@Schlee911]

Hey Chris thanks for not talking over this great video of Overlander West...... now i just have a long shopping list.........

[@chickendinner3791]

Serious radiator fan you got there @29:19 , keeping that engine sub zero.

[@MonDakLiving]

I can really tell the difference in your whole attitude and personallity when Jenn is around! I am really diggin your videos man

[@lloydrage]

So happy you and Jen got to meet up again

[@JenniferLangille]

Right? My Jeep is simply not cool enough for a walk-around ;) It's the most humble rig ever!

[@yosam5184]

Thanks for sharing the latest adventure, hail and all.....

[@overlandgoga5453]

love your videos and explorations. definitely inspiring

[@brianperticari]

Another awesome video. Thx for sharing!!!

[@ok4wd]

Great video, Chris!

[@OVRLNDX]

Always a pleasure talking to you Brother!

[@JenniferLangille]

It was SO nice to meet you!!! Hugs from Monty and I!

[@OVRLNDX]

Jennifer! Super awesome to meet you and Monty in person!!

[@jeffbettenga]

I like how someone hit the rumble strip just as Jen was lifting her leg to show her socks. It was a great time hanging out with you Chris, Jen and Monty, Sat. night at Expo. I got to watch Chris eat (pizza) in real life vs. video, it was not any better but it was not grilled cheese and Cheese Its for a change.

[@JenniferLangille]

My favorite part of Expo was the "apres" time and meeting some of you amazing humans in person! I'm sure he's snacking on both as I type... oh lord, we had what was possibly the WORSE pizza ever before he had to leave for Denver... it was... terrible. Cheers from Monty and I!

[@fordrocks1986]

So awesome my little broncoii made it in the video.

[@msemmahale4608]

Looks like you’re driving the spine of the Wasatch mtns on the Skyline drive? or near there. (Wah-sat-ch). You must’ve driven through Daniels and Heber City. My neck of the woods. You’re right, it’s beautiful up here.

[@thomasrsunday8945]

Great info, man! Love your channel!!

[@jbknight13]

Strawberry area was my second home growing up!

[@henryi9738]

15:56 Saw you Chris on Brad's channel, both you guys are awesome !

[@paulsink2800]

Hey Jen...always good to see you. Hey Chris...love those Sportsmobiles. Pricey! Ended up with a used Toyota truck and a Four Wheel Camper. See you next week.

[@larryparker1678]

another great video

[@sewallm60]

Yeah Chris I had that same problem the name Uintah I was corrected when living in Grand Junction its ooh in tah

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Video looked great

[@speedy423]

The bombs @ 0:22 were a good lead in to a great video.

[@thegrandinquisitor8239]

And can we get a tour of Jen's jeep setup?

[@msemmahale4608]

You-in-ta (Uinta Nat’l Forest pronunciation) - you’re welcome 😊

[@OverlandGeneration]

yay! Lifestyle Overland!

[@thegrandinquisitor8239]

Kinda bummed you didn't include your impromptu interview with Trail Spin TV. I'm digging their channel and I think your subscribers should go check them out. Did you at least pick up a couple of gas cans from rotopax while you were there?

[@raksh9]

Hey Chris, I assume this was shot with the GH5? Since you've been with Canon for a long time, there are a few things I'm sure you're working out. The face tracking AF on the GH5 isn't as good as Canon, but it gets better if you use the GH5 Autofocus Hack (check out KZbin) and update to the latest firmware. Another choice is to use Face Detection AF but not continuous AF, so you can half-press the shutter button to focus on your face and then let the focus remain in that position. I don't know how much post work and colour grading you do with your footage, but if you want a good in camera setting for footage that requires minimal post, try Natural profile with Sharpness, Contrast and Noise Reduction turned down. You'll get a more gentle look with less harsh shadows and highlights.

[@chucku.farley3927]

it sucks that you don't talk about any of the products at the EXPO

[@kaseysettles8285]

Jen’s back. No need for hot dogs.

[@JenniferLangille]

For a hot moment at least! ;) Hopefully when we reconnect next it'll be farmer's market season, I'm so excited to start seeing farm stands opening and fetching fresh goodies on the way to camp (day dreaming!)

[@kaseysettles8285]

Jennifer Langille, No doubt.

[@aaronfrench8322]

Will you be at Overland Expo East?

[@stevegareau123]

Looked fun 👍👍

[@minitrucker007]

16:06 Jason Koertge Video Boom. Swell Runner Overland is a great channel you should check him out.

[@srkn100]

Wow..the interview with brad of trailecon was really short

[@thebenson1983]

I can see your gourmet chef is back.... hi jen

[@JenniferLangille]

Hi Tom! Only for a hot moment! Chris is on his own for a wee bit but he has been stepping up his cooking game! LOL

[@xXThePointXx]

Repeated @ 28:28 multiple times. lmaorotf!! HAHA

[@fourwheeldrivenut]

Chris squirrel tail??? please explain there must be a story behind it? :-P

[@thomasrsunday8945]

Monty!!!!

[@christineayres5339]

Yeah he looks like Scooby Doo , i miss Jenn and Monty

[@hughwolfe1176]

Amazing, and it’s only 230 miles north of our home... This year was a bust,but perhaps 2021... And your partner in crime has returned. Now stop letting her get away.

[@thomasrsunday8945]

MONTY!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌

[@thomasgoodson8404]

Great vids... Panasonic auto focus sucks....

[@1972walnut]

I want a team hunt shirt where did you get it and where can I buy one?

[@JenniferLangille]

We met with them at Overland Expo West and the shirts were for those donating to their INCREDIBLE efforts, though imagine if you reached out, they'd love to hear from folks who may like to support in this way. Instagram @teamhuntadventure / teamhunt.org/

[@possumlodge135]

Not nearly enough coverage of dispursed camping area?????!!!! More detail on actual adventure vehicles

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

👍👍🇨🇦

[@conniewaite1371]

Did you see the smaller scoddle?

[@JenniferLangille]

We haven't used it, but it's nifty looking (and lighter!)

[@andrewcunniff568]

I wonder if that guy found Amanda....

[@blackbeard308]

Chris and Jen very awesome to see you two together again. You guy are amazing together. Chris the water line coming out from under your jeep, you cleaned Montes paws with it, could you please show us what it is and where it is hooked up at? Thanks again for the great videos

[@JenniferLangille]

Hello! It's not actually a waterline coming out of the Jeep, just the Nemo Helio Portable Shower sitting on the front bumper. :) Very handy item to have!

[@blackbeard308]

+Jennifer Langille thank you for the response. It almost looked like maybe there was a water tank in the engine compartment.

[@JenniferLangille]

Oh my that would be wild! :)

[@txhypnotist]

Jen says. We gone.

[@myytchannel6632]

Nice video! You guys look great together. Good chemistry. At the end of this video, would have been great if both of your Jeeps were behind you, not just her Jeep. You should get a drone. You are already making good videos. A drone would make it better in some ways. Does Jennifer have a channel? I could not find it. I see she likes to be the leader. Boss lady! I would like to watch her own videos and read her own story of why she too is traveling solo. Would like to get a walk around about her Jeep setup.

[@JenniferLangille]

Often some of these moments are on the fly, unscripted and kinda winging-it! :) While I have a "channel" I do not publish videos. I'm working on a documentary project meeting with people impacted by cancer and collecting their stories of how it's impacted their lives for a book I'm writing (www.photosthatunite.com) I'm keen to work with people in rural communities and why I'm traveling solo via overland. Thank you for following!

[@daydreamerindian]

You should post video may be smaller if time is constraints. It will not only help us get sensitised to the cause but may help us find the ways to contribute to same cause in our neighbourhoods. Thanks

[@JenniferLangille]

Oddly enough - I have started posting bi-monthly short updates! ;)

[@hnorthca]

Love your video's Appreciate your realism When you get a momernt do you remember the name of the vechile at 17:00 minutes I think it i s European Thank you

[@michaelmathis1961]

You are addicted to pizza..... and other food stuff!

[@pra3t0rian]

Chris Pratt at 7:35?

[@lesliew.946]

Your girlfriend Jan, need to feed her dog, it’s unhealthy to see a dogs ribs like on her dog. I was enjoying watching your trips until I saw your girlfriends dog that’s pretty sad.
