Really like your adventures. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels!!

[@Fernando_gen.x]

Hey Chris, hello from Virginia. I really enjoy your videos and hope to be out there myself soon. Safe travels.

[@joeeasterling5652]

Chris I don’t know if you will see this but, I am taking a chance on it. Get yourself some Thermacell products for the mosquitos and no see elms. They are excellent products and have lantern style as well as portable units. They are relatively inexpensive and work. I use them while hunting and camping here in Louisiana and Texas. I really enjoy your work.

[@HUYNGUYEN-jp8xo]

Chris your adventures is awesome. Welcome to my home state of Washington. I really enjoy watching your KZbin channel. Stay safe! Best of luck.

[@JaredRichardson]

Great video! I look forward to them every week. :-)

Greeting Chris! I just noticed that you have only 9,4 thousands subscribers, I wish this number will grow up and good luck to you in the future, thank you for what you do.

[@OverlandTT]

Great video Chris, we also love your videos way over the pond in the UK 🇬🇧

[@bwildjournals]

Hello Chris, I saw your rig at the NW Overland Rally. It sure was fun! Maybe one day I will see you as well. Perhaps I missed you because of the beard. Safe Travels take your time and enjoy the State.

[@smoke09able]

I enjoy and look forward to your videos. Safe travels.

[@robsmith2505]

Chris, really awesome footage this week of the PNW. Seems just like yesterday you installed those BFGs; your opening showed the wear of sooooo many adventurous miles you’ve endured. Stay safe out there and continue making memories.

[@gwisdallatexas]

Just stumbled across your channel, very nice. You got a new sub now.

[@scottfletcher199]

Awesome Job! New Subscriber! Now to catch up on all your videos!

[@Jasonlynn1337]

Another awesome video. Sucks about the wind and rain but looks like you still had a great time this week. Keep living the dream!

[@nickfranco6947]

Your channel is one of my favourite. Living in Oregon by way of vail ,co.You bring me great memories of traveling through Utah.Have you ever thought of getting a furry friend to keep you company.Keep on jeepin.

[@makeyourownadventure1653]

Very cool! Love to see what you are going to get up to in the north west and and even maybe up in Canada, eh? See you next Friday!

[@bradcastaneda]

Driving over now and just got this notification. 🤙🏼

[@chadalcock7275]

The weather up there this last weekend was weird. I definitely did not pack for cooler weather. Glad I got to meet ya at the rally.

[@HappyMicTv]

Sweet! I live in Leavenworth. And jeep all over the place here. Let me know if you need any pointers. Also, we are in cherry harvest. If you are still around make sure to stop by Smithson fruit stand at the mouth of blewit pass. You can buy some of my cherries! I’m an orchardist

[@Ibitehardcore1]

HappyMicTv camping? Names of the off the beaten path places to set up overlanders vehicles ....not the KOA lol Thanks

[@takayama1638]

Oh me, Happy, Ethyl and I have just got to get up there!! We come get some cherries!! We're about 3,000 miles away, but retire in May, hope to do lot of travel in my F150 4x4 and get truck popup camper!!

[@WW-wf8tu]

@@takayama1638 I would suggest if you are traveling that much with the misses, you ditch the F150 4x4 and get a proper Motorhome. lol Maybe drag a UTV along behind it that is road legal. :)

[@ORflycaster]

Chris, I know EXACTLY where you camped in E. Oregon! I wish I'd known about your channel last year, I'd have played host to my beautiful part of the country. You could easily do several videos on just this county.

[@godblessyou5172]

Wow, didn't know jeeps could do that! Impressive!

[@bobbyjoe1914]

great job on your EXPLORING

[@nowayjose6195]

Having serious Venture4wd cravings! Chris, your vlog is awesome and we can't wait for more!!

[@Sargebsa]

No wonder I missed you, I came in on Friday. Looked high and low but alass no Chris or orange jeep.

[@jeepercreepers54]

Nice logging maneuver Chris!

[@AndrewTurner251]

I’m digging the screen room.

[@seattlevkk]

Welcome to my home state. Cool log removal!

[@oldterm6978]

Welcome to WA (squall), especially the east side of Cascades (my original home). Nice tree clearing. I am surprised you didn't run into the burn areas above Leavenworth from 2015. Wenatchee (Win-nat-chee). You should have fun with all the Indian names up there. Be sure to go over norther pass top of Cascades HWY20. Since you have your visa going into CANADA would be good also. Or even taking ferry across Pugent Sound to Olympic National Forest (with your park pass). Finding free places to camp might be a problem though on West side of Cascades. Looking forward to more of your adventures. You are doing a great job.

[@jeepersdelight]

Hey Chris, hi from Maryland. PA jeep show this year? Also, those look like Rubbermaid roughnecks in the back. Nice tote bin, snap close. Cheers Also, look up Coyote works. Cool KZbinr in that region. Fellow jk owner.

[@jarenleib4877]

Love what you do chris i wish i could be like you and travel/explore the country

[@lloydrage]

Another good one bud. Keep it up

[@totalcomposites484]

saw you walking around with the camera but had no idea who you are LOL . Please say hi next time you see us! Can give you the full tour of our Sprinter DOKA.

Another great video man.

[@mykalbee]

Cool I plan on being at NWOR on Saturday hope to see you there.

[@TheHarley883r]

hey guy living the dream ... seriously envious of your lifestyle .. wondering what your in closed side misquote netting side tent is.. and who makes it?? one thing i havnt seen is a review of your camping gear and what works for you. and another thing get a camping cook book bro you need to eat better.. easily done with the set up you have... thanks for your content and it great to see your adventures very cool !!!

[@WW-wf8tu]

You are seriously suggesting he needs to cook other things? He cooks what he wants.(bro) Except pizza. lol For that, the joy of finding a good joint in local towns is the challenge. Honestly, cannot imagine why people feel the need to try and control other peoples eating choices. He was making more palatable choices than I see most people do. But then, I suppose you need to tell them to get a cook book and eat better too. (bro)

[@jamesj7328]

Enjoying your channel from Korea~ Looks like you were parked across from Primal_Outdoors~ Safe & happy journey!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Gorgeous scenery Chris, thank you so much for sharing.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

Hey Chris. It was good to meet you this year at NWOL. Look forward to running in to you out there again somewhere. Cheers!

[@matthewmoehring6228]

Good to see you in the pnw, if you have time you might enjoy doing parts of wabdr also check in with the crew from mule they are very knowledgeable of the area and probably could point you in the direction of some great places to check out.

[@Ibitehardcore1]

[@GrinchWSLG]

Haha, you caught me having a conversation with my pup at 23:57

[@scottdeney5970]

I really enjoy your vids...I just love Fridays, because I get to see your next vid.. Wile your in Wa. State go see MT St Helens. I was here when she went off. and a year later went up and shot photo's then 3 years later and then 10 years later. I was doing a roof in Tacoma and saw the clouds of ash...that was a big day 1980, May 18th. Go the back road by Castle Rock, off I5, the new road was made from some of the ash from the Mt. it sparkles at night. And go see Fresh Water lake.

[@WW-wf8tu]

I hate to burst your bubble, I was just there in the summer of 2018. Boring. Looks like any other forest around here with a well maintained road going up and down. Mt. St. Helens was interesting back in the day. But there should be no disputing how awesome Rainier is. Its roads are windier. They are steeper, they are paved, but in the winter might as well be a set up for tracked vehicles. As for summer time, eh. The beauty of Rainier is in the winter when she has her full coat of snow on. Summer time is great for camping and hiking. No pets allowed on the trails. ;) Paradise has some interesting tourist attractions. And while the lodge is a wee bit expensive with rooms and food, it is worth a look as well. :) And there are of course a lot of places in the PNW that one can go for his type of exploring.

[@jlopes68]

i like how all your stuff packs in just so, try avon skin so soft for the mosquito's.

[@MonoLake02]

You ended up in the Palouse area. Always windy, no trees, and lots of open space. It is an acquired taste.

[@nogoogleplus]

Hi just discovered your channel...great stuff! What kind of awning/screened in tent is that at 9:33 along the drivers side? Awesome setup

[@Steve_MFr]

ROFLMFAO 😅😆😂😜 16:20 Bavarian background music hahahahaha lol Buuut the very best was the Swedish Chef from the Muppets yodeling: 16:37 "il acch Kant berry sop my sue, deee yodelhudlveryhue" hahahahalollololol After spending nearly a decade in Munich, that is one of the funniest attempts at imitating Bavarians that I've ever seen. The guy really sounds like the "bincy-bouncy-meatballs" Swedish Chef. We travel with a RTT on a Range Rover and have gone from Turkey to Scandinavia to Northern Africa, but the present political situation keeps us within those boundaries. We really enjoy your vids; we live vicariously through you :-p keep up the good work. Leavenworth really makes me LOL, tho

[@jessefullerton2531]

Quite a bit of @teamoverland in this video! Awesome!

[@takayama1638]

Wait. Got wet in roof top tent?! Not good. I'd have to leave them moskeets. Chris, that was very nice of you not to crunch that chip. Thanks. I suffer from fibromyalgia and am extra sensitive to sounds, light, a lot of things that don't make sense. Unless you have this Mess. Some of y'all boys said that Clay a bit annoying. I don't know, just from this, he seem like a decent bloke. I check their channel to see for myself. I've left some channels when they start cussin', acting like know it all, and just general arrogant jerks. AND those that play that ridiculous background "music" mess! Whew, thanks Chris for NEVER using music! Takes away the peace.

[@MACzerofourtwo]

19:33 squatch hair is that left over beard hair? ...lol👀😱. Keep up the great videos

[@donewhiskey]

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest. You've met the weather then, I see? Good. It changes on a dime and temperature can often vary as much as 40 °F. We don't faak around in the PNW. We wear layers and carry earplugs. Oh, and always camp in cover. Always, or you are going to pay one way or another. Backpacking maxims work well, from here north. Oh, 9:48 and Wenatchee is "when-ACH-ee" or "when-AT-chee". Why didn't you use the fire ring to make smoke and keep the mosquitoes away? This one is on you. :D

[@daveb6]

Have you ever thought about checking out the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia? Dave

[@dudelum]

Any chance you're headed to the BC Overland Rally? If you do head into BC and/or the Vancouver area, hit me up!

[@frankansley7941]

Hope you had some OFF spray. You have been a lot of places without a winch. Great job

[@UtahTenkara]

You might have mentioned this before, but what is the spray hose setup you are using? Is it something you bought or something you put together? Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!

[@tbillington]

Late reply, but it's a Nemo Helio foot pump shower

[@liffy8333]

Warm weather + camping around water = mosquitoes. But you can blame it on the Pacific Northwest, we have enough people around here as it is! haha. I like your videos, keep em coming.

[@WW-wf8tu]

I already gave another reviewer the history of our Mosquito infestation. How we released them into the area in 1941 when civilian Jeeping became popular. And we wanted to reduce the tourists to our fun times. :)

[@AdirondackBackWoods]

I really like the quality of the video you put out, may I ask what camera and equipment that you use. Thanks love your videos

[@sifilmaker]

Nice video.. will follow and subscribed. The problem you had with the rain and wind effect on your pop-up is the reason why Ive been shy to get one for my JK. I know guys swear by them, but concerned about bad weather.. Seems like a good solid tent is always a better way to go. Would love to get your honest input on this. tks

[@WW-wf8tu]

The biggest pro to a rooftop tent is it keeps your gear from touching mud. I run a proper SUV where I can camp inside it. Safe from the bugs, reptiles, mud, rain, wind, hail, snow.. did I miss anything? Probably the only draw back is how much gear one carries with them. However, the roof, instead of a tent, has a cargo carrier basket that makes up the difference. Not to mention if you need even more junk on your travels, you can get a hitch carrier as well. :) I pack light. Emergency gear, recovery gear and food. I don't need all that fancy camper crap packing around with me. If I wanted all that, I would get a camper. ;)

[@EcoEarthNut]

@13:13 Inquiring minds want to know: What are you running from?

[@marleymayfield2635]

Inspiring videos. Love the adventures......do the same back east.

[@mrj3nk044]

It looks like you could grow an epic moustache to ride along with you on your epic adventure? It’d keep you company etc? Also it could act as an emergency food store. Multiple advantages.

[@km4fsi827]

have you ever considered offering your GPS tracks (recorded GPS files for sale?) wow i sure would pay money for them. just a idea...keep up the good work ! love the videos man.

[@Doberman144]

Nice video .. Oregon and Washington are beautiful .. I live here and not many places match it .. You need to get a dog, your life appears a bit lonely .. They are great to share adventures with .. You could pick up a nice one at a local shelter .. He would love to share your adventures with you ..

[@WW-wf8tu]

I don't suppose you are a dog lover are you? lol So much of this region seems to be. He travels so much and needs his freedom to go w/out worrying about pet care. And no, I am not a hater of animals. Just saying I have the same travel freedom and reasoning for going w/out a pet. ;)

[@wcompto]

Are we having fun yet ?

[@conniewaite1371]

That shower set up looked interesting, like to know more about it.this may be an old show I may have missed, I thought a shower tube might work nice.your thoughts?

Do you save your way points on some of the campsite you visit thay are some nice spots

[@Ibitehardcore1]

Can you tell us what the names of the Campgrounds you stayed at? Keep traveling! Thanks for sharing!

Dude I drove a Honda element to cabo from l.a. grow a pair. You'll be fine. I really liked the log removal. That was cool.

[@WW-wf8tu]

Wonder if the Honda Element would have removed the log.

[@bigpeeler]

W W LOL...great point.

[@erichughes9098]

😎👍

[@kevinpereira7864]

The having to get outside and close the camper due to the storm has solidified my choice in getting a Sprinter 4x4, specifically the Winnebago Revel.

[@WW-wf8tu]

IF your adventures are even less extreme than these, than yes, not a bad plan. But do not expect it to compete with the same terrain. I personally thought his ability to go in and out of the tent from his vehicle was unique and cool. Cannot do that from the SUV's most commonly used for overloading. :) As for putting it away in the rain, that was his choice. He could have tried to wait it out and put it away the next morning. Personally, being from the PNW I would expect that kind of thing and either camped someplace else or solidified my spot with an added rain tarp on top of the tent before I battened down the hatch. lol But he trusted the weather report. So there ya have it. :)

[@JodyGates]

It's the Ursa Minor J30 camper and is only available for the 4 door. - www.ursaminorvehicles.com/campers/jeep-camper.html

[@newkey1106]

Sorry !Thanks for your posts

[@zippymullen3442]

Wow, I was thinking about getting one of these rooftop Minors. However, after seeing how wet you got for the price of these tents is very discouraging.

[@WW-wf8tu]

While I would not discourage your reasoning, I did not see him get went IN the tent. Only from his time putting it away. Have to go outside to put it away. And it was raining heavily when he did that. And actually, IF I were to buy one, I really thought his was cool because he could crawl into his jeep or vice versa from it. Something one CANNOT do in a typical SUV rooftop tent.

[@BurtGummerrr]

Can't even car camp in that fancy jeep during a little rain lol. So soft

[@WW-wf8tu]

That's where the TRD Off Road 4Runner comes in handy. ;) I have done my share of tenting in my youth. I pretty much am done with it. Unless absolutely need be. lol

[@Off-the-Beaten-Path]

Is there a public calendar that you could point us to? such as this event: Northwest Overland Rally and others. I would have come to this but can't seem to find the ads for these events on line. Thx for the info you give in you vlogs...

[@rogue109]

Northwest Overland Rally is typically the last weekend in June in Plane WA. They have a website that will give the exact dates every year.

[@Off-the-Beaten-Path]

excellent. Thanks so much.

[@rogue109]

I know you were asking a more general question that I can't answer, but I do know about the NWOverland Rally as it's in my back yard, something I try to go to every year. It would be cool to have an answer to your more general question though, so if you see something, let us all know. Thanks!

[@Off-the-Beaten-Path]

I appreciate the locals that have a heart instead of just a commercial pitch. Thanks and i'll be there next year as i live in Idaho so it will be a close trip. Take care and have fun...

[@thomasrsunday8945]

Jen is on her own journey 😬

[@WW-wf8tu]

He does not seem to get into places that are too radical that require him to have one. And he needs his front bumper for that gear he mounts on it for his camping. lol

[@bigpeeler]

phục êwê - LOL

[@fradleyjeff]

I’m confused. Is the camper not rain proof 🤔🤨?

[@jeep6242]

Two guesses. 1. the wind noise and flapping were too loud to sleep. 2. It was hot enough to make it uncomfortable to zip the windows up.

[@WW-wf8tu]

@@jeep6242 And #3, seems a lot of people are not paying close enough attention to the fact, he got soaked when he put the tent down for the night. I did not see him getting soaked being in the tent.

[@bradyfilm]

Thank you another great episode and thanks for cutting Clay short he is a bit annoying.

[@jeep6242]

HA. I usually take the good with the bad with YT channels. But literally everything about that channel absolutely rubs me the wrong way. While I have a lot of respect for the guy making his dreams come true he really is just...ugh. Everyone in X Overland is like a weird cult and while technically spectacular from a cinematography standpoint it's just so trite from a content and narrative point of view and you could do most of their recent trips in a minivan which makes the mega-built rigs and paramilitary narrative about their logistics and planning and execution just seem so silly. It just keeps coming up in my related videos so I watch it just to groan now occasionally lol.

[@RunGSD]

I enjoy their videos but I understand the criticism. At the same time who wouldn't want to get paid to do what they do...and with that comes the marketing.
