V4E15: Circumnavigating the Caldera

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris you’ve got such a positive attitude on life and your travels. You always seem happy no mater the weather or location... Keep it up, it’s working well.

[@allenheaps2084]

As already mentioned hit O'faithful up in warmer months to cut down on all the steam. Cold temp + hot water = steam=poor Visibility of said geyser. I really have to take my hat off to you Chris for having the fortitude to stick with setting up the tripod for shots of your jeep and you coming and going on the road or trail. You do it at all hours of the day or night in any kind of weather... I am truly impressed!

[@Srflzrd]

Yellowstone is one of my favorite places. I’m rewatching some of your videos. Keep up the good work and keep them coming. Cheers

[@johnwalker3263]

I’m watching some of the older episodes and this one is top notch Chris!

[@michaelj7636]

Thanks for sharing your weekly videos. They are very uplifting and inspirational. Watching you in your travels is soothing and stress relieving. Keep up the good work!

[@ChrisWilliams-pu8pj]

Really enjoyed this video. Beautiful scenery and photography! Keep up the great work.

[@Seemego4WD]

i loved seeing yellowstone, couldn't get enough of the mud pots.

[@emcemc6307]

Watching Chris videos, is one the best parts of my week. It's something so relaxing about watching your videos.

[@even_aug3235]

Thanks for posting quality Jeep content :)

[@outdoorjo6752]

well for me personally this has got to be some of your best cinematography yet. Some of those shots were utterly stunning. Particularly loved the early morning shots from the top of the pass but the one that bowled me over was the brief shot of the steam coming out of the riverbank just bellow 'Yellowstone river overview' or whatever it was called, just amazing and worth a prize in my book Looking forward to next Friday already :)

[@jeepercreepers54]

One of my favorite videos.

[@ChazzLayne]

Nice...that's the best time of year to visit that area IMO-minimal crowds, the parks aren't quite closed up yet, no bugs, and just the right amount of weather. Really digging what you've been producing, I find it relaxing and almost therapeutic, like how the old nature/travel documentaries used to be on Discovery (yeah, like in the 80's). 👌🏻

[@hank1527]

Chris, when the weather is cold, water condensation builds up heavy clouds so you didn’t see the Ol Faithful the way it should. Go back in warmer days and see the difference ! Love my Friday night watching your videos

[@nowayjose6195]

The vistas you capture and your eye for the beauty of nature are amazing! The haircut and trim cut away 15years! Be safe! Oh, and you didn't disappoint "Chris on a rock" fans!

[@freddyavilez6918]

Great video me and my daughter love watching your videos they are the best

[@johannbrummer6764]

Thanx Chris, another bloody brilliant video! As a collector of enamelled tin cups, I was drooling at the sight of those in the Yellow Stone store! Greetings from sunny Australia. Thank you for your videos, they're really inspiring, i like your style!

[@lifelong5425]

Excellent video, and timing of visit there....apparently a nightmare of masses in the high season...stay safe in these winter places

[@TheJigsnow]

Nice to see ya in my back yard. We visit Yellowstone at least twice a year. Just so much to see there. Also spotted your rig in Lander today. Well the video made me go and look for ya. Have safe travels friend.

[@soonermom5082]

LOVED this week's video. We go to Yellowstone every summer. We took our JKU up Daisy Pass in August. It was an AMAZING day! Thanks for sharing!

[@thomasrsunday8945]

Co-sign--best part of Fridays is your new video!! Great photography and cinematography as always!!!

[@229Reaper]

My Saturday ritual...listening your video.Thanks man its always fun to see your stuff.I can see than you were eating better with Jennifer haha!!!!!!

[@scottfletcher199]

Great Video! I loved 24:00! Looked like Old Faithful blew your mind with smoke coming out! Lol! Love your work! Thank you for sharing!

[@cheneyjeffrey]

Passed you going south through Salt Lake City on Sunday, Oct 21. Can't wait to see where you're headed! Somewhere warmer, like you mentioned.

[@curtisbridges]

Hey Chris, i love these videos every Friday. You might consider experimenting with some time lapses in these beautiful locations you find. I think they would add a lot of visual interest. Especially astrophotographery. Keep it up! ✌️

[@Steve_MFr]

Really enjoy your vids, Chris. Thanks.

[@jessedement3180]

Heater Buddy is what you need my friend!!!!!!!!!!

[@landbarron1420]

Yes, Get a Little Buddy Heater, uses the 1 pound propane tanks you already have for the Skottle.

[@strofimios]

And learn how to use the thermal inversion in your favor.Do not camp in the lowest possible elevation camp site.

[@solooverland3666]

Land Barron - But then... the cheese sandwiches!!! 🤣

[@danielscanlon5815]

I worked for the hotels in Yellowstone for 4 years, year round, I have seen much better old faithful eruptions but I agree much better thermal features to see. Black Pool at West Thumb is probably my favorite hot spring in the park, glad you showed it.

[@RhinoOverland]

You did an amazing job capturing the beauty of Yellowstone Chris!

[@consaka1]

Been there a few times. Remember it well. Great pictures. So good in fact that I could smell it. :)

[@FreedomToRoam86]

what spectacular dawn at that pass!

[@MrPj47]

cold river, I like it, personally I like snowy camping, I hate bugs, another great video your becoming my favorite channel

[@nikkoandlee3938]

Lovin the videos! That is some of the nicest terrain! We need to take a trip to Yellow Stone later this year after we hit California. Super pumped to check out this natural wonder. We will definitely be posting this on our channel too. Beautiful!

[@Puppykupo]

great footage as always, amazing narrating off course, but dude that cemetery very erie to say the least, glad you didnt camp near that, ufff i would be hearing things in the night....

[@williamkenyon9858]

Chris, I love the Idahoan instant taters! They also make three good potato soups! You just inspired me to go to Yellowstone in Oct. You could never get the footage you got in summer with all the crowds. Shave and haircut looks good every now and then. Keep on keeping on!

[@gregklevgard1040]

Agree on old Faithful, with a little hike/drive there is epic geysers not to far from there. Keep up great video's. Thanks

[@turnerfamilyadventures8392]

Love lander Wy! I have stayed in the city park before...free camping! We are currently in northern Florida...80’s and 60’s here for highs and lows. Thanks for the videos!

[@rodneyvenzon7462]

great video as always! looking forward to next weeks

[@danielvasquez9419]

When I was a kid I visited Yellowstone that was 60 years ago Old Faithful was a giant but I guess the Magna has moved over a bit and now it's about half or a little less than what it used to be. Saw it a year ago. Have to come up there in the snow though that looks interesting.

[@chriswatson9818]

Yeah!! Friday and another Video!! Best part of Fridays!

[@ГригорийХовер]

Agree

[@shurppa64]

I was too sore from work Friday so it was a few beers and bed. But it was a great video to watch while I ate my Saturday morning breakfast.

[@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI]

I thought Old Faithful was pretty cool! Crazy how it erupts on such a schedule. But yeah, everything else around there is so cool. I get what you’re saying though.

[@Stormskiing]

Hi Chris...Big fan here. Note: All eruptions of Old Faithful are NOT the same. You managed to experience one of the more boring eruptions. Most of the ones I have seen had visible water...Not just water vapor. In a different time of the year you should check out Glacier National Park if you have not already. I have been there twice and want to go back again. Thanks for reinforcing that my next vehicle will be a Jeep Unlimited that I can camp in. Vermonter here.

[@veith7488]

For me it is Saturday the greatest morning in the week. I am sitting here on my pc and have a cup of coffee. Because i am Living in europe. Best regards from Veith

[@aaron5222]

For me Yellowstone is a really good place for a young family. We had a herd of bison surround my little car and my daughter in the back looks out and says "uh oh that's not good" so funny.

[@kirk189]

Awesome Chris!!! That campsite you stayed at above Jardin is the SAME campsite me and my family stayed at in Aug!!! We rented a Rubicon with a J30 from Hatch adventures in Bozeman. That’s so cool seeing it in your video!!

[@shurppa64]

Still a great video watching it a second time a year later.

[@stevenhearnden66]

Saw Lava 🌋 on a trip to Nicaragua. Absolutely amazing.

[@UBRLND-X]

For water in your foot wells, there is a water plug under the carpet. pull that and it will drain right out. Great feature I have used more than once!

[@anwaralomaisi3660]

thank you.. i enjoy your video

[@frontierfan1613]

Spectacular episode!

[@kevingoza]

14.52...beautiful! Love me some Yellowstone and Montana/Wyoming!

[@swkohnle08]

Great video Chris. I have never been to Yellowstone so your video is making me want to go there. Thx

[@robertmanley6102]

Get reservations like 1 yesr ahead if time if you are going in the summer. I stayed at Fishing Bridge rv campground. Hardsided rv or trailers required because of bears. But definitely reserve your spot early. Yelowstone is amazing!

[@Rocki5pr]

Another great video!!! One of the major things I remember about Yellowstone (for some reason) is the number of geysers that are now 'geysers' because someone had the brilliant idea to pump water out of a lake/pond and when they started encountered eruptions THEN decided it wasn't such a good idea ....

[@sandradee5500]

This video was super nice. i really enjoyed watching it and i need go visit yellow national parc! =)

[@wvoutdoorsman5326]

I hate I missed bumping into you. We just left Yellowstone a few days ago headed back east. Yellowstone and Grand Teton were awesome, Enjoy!!! We enjoyed Grand Prismatic more than old faithful.

[@bushcraftoregon]

great vid; I love yellowstone and yes old faithful was worth it the time I saw it. Head through central oregon..lot of mountain lakes, etc....will treat you if you come this way

[@danielscanlon5815]

I worked in Yellowstone hotels for years, you could discreetly set up your jeep camper in the employee housing ares anytime in the mid summer months

[@SuarezWillie]

Great episode as always.

[@ExploringJeeps]

Chris, You camped in the Tetons in one of my favorite spots. It's indirectly the reason I have a jeep now. I broke our Volvo on that trail. Great video!

[@exodus_offroad6443]

I preferred Grand Gyser to Old Faithful. Being up wind helps alot with viewing but then again I saw them in July of 18. I loved Yellowstone. It is cool to see you in places I have been and I love seeing the same things from a different perspective. Were you able to see Grand Prismatic Spring? That was my favorite!!

[@petermavus4131]

Chris you inspired me to do this next year with my JEEP Love the LESS crowds

[@krismartin2038]

He Chris cut some of the Beard off and loss 20 years. Love your work.

[@krismartin2038]

Ok you read my mind. Looking great.

[@kirk189]

Really great video 👍🏼

[@blackbeardzc]

I love Yellowstone! Made a road trip there with my Grandparents from Ohio a two week trip there and back! If you go east try and make it to Tensleep. There was an awesome bagel/coffee shop you would like. Then go down to Casper and check out Custer state park and Crazy Horse monument!

[@isoawe1888]

Sure missed a bunch in GTNP. Jenny lake, Mormon Row, Oxbow bend and lots of wildlife

[@JohnConnor636]

Pizza looks amazing!!

[@walkercew]

Another great video Chris!! See you next Friday.

[@thecrankster4162]

Awesome videos, keep up the great work...and for those prints, that looked like bigfoot,and I have a hard time believeing in it,,, just be careful out there...

[@jacmens]

Another great adventure in Yellowstone... are there no hotsprings to go in over there... keep up traveling Chris i follow your adventures. greetings from the Netherlands Europe.

[@StevelsCamping]

go see Old Faithful in the spring, summer or early fall. You don't have the big steam cloud.

[@insaynbcr]

Exactly! The colder months tend to cover Old Faithful in a cloud, where the much warmer months it's mostly just hot water shooting up with residual steam.

[@bearlycamping]

I think what he's trying to say is Yellowstone is spectacular as a whole and even in the better months to see it you may be slightly disappointed if it's your dream to see it.

[@shurppa64]

I own a jku and ready to have a J30 made for it. Still have a flip pac on my Nissan. Popups are the best for traveling light and fast.

[@4x4_travel]

Chris- It's getting time to start heating up some water to wash your hair. Great video again this week! You missed my favorite park- Grand Teton NP. Most people don't go to see it as Yellowstone takes all their time. Try to double back there someday if you can. Also- glad to see some bear spray in your hands. Those tracks were impressive.

[@kevingoza]

Sorry you didn’t make it to Lake Hibgen/Quake Lake, just north of West Yellowstone. Quite a powerful human interest story and of the power of nature.

[@rokklym]

I really enjoy your videos. As a camera junkie, I sure would love some insight into your video rig! The amount of work you put into these videos and the quality is all impressive!

[@petertyrell9699]

Come on down to FL. and de thaw. Ocala Nat forest. Enjoy the springs and some sand.

[@GSXinTX]

Chris I think it should be a crime the way you cut that sandwich in half😂 diagonally is how us civilized people do it! Great video once again. I almost packed up to go to Yellowstone had it not been the fact I work tomorrow!

[@frankansley7941]

Yellowstone National Park is so beautiful. I was there about 25 years ago and your trip makes me want to go again. As always I enjoyed you pictures. Thanks for taking us along. Do you read the comments?

[@scootiebootie2]

You need to go back there during the summer!

[@huhggbyhghij2811]

17:16 May have been altitude change caused the leak. Has happened to me many times.

[@MarkRose1337]

If you want a great geyser, check out Strokkúr in Iceland. You would probably have a great adventure there if you shipped your Jeep over for a month!

[@xplorefurther]

I really like your setup, especially the rooftop tent. I'd like to setup for my future jeep. Any tips where I could find it? - From Upstate NY.

[@fatality220]

Old Faithful in the summertime is 10x better at least from memory its been a while but I had a blast seeing old faithful

[@tskfrcdgr]

Should have hiked around Shoshone Lake!

[@georgechatterton7089]

Going to Yellowstone to see geysers when it's cold enough to have snow on the ground, unless you have a stiff breeze, all you're going to see is a cloud of steam.

[@olympusoverland]

St. George, Utah! nice and warm.

[@RubiconV]

You definitely take some great video. Just curious, what is your camera and editing software? Also what layer or map on Gaia do you use? I'm having a hard time picking one. Thanks!

[@rickfeemster2387]

You were at wrong time of year for old faithful,when it's cold all u see is the steam cloud,I went in June and it was great

[@Stickmann7]

Hey Chris, what is the name of the gizmo you have on ur dash that holds ur phone and tablet? Looks like a very handy accessory!! Thanks and keep the great videos comping!!!

[@joshssauce]

I live an hour from yellowstone, I'll be heading up there next month. How were the roads? (the paved) just don't wanna slide off lol

[@robertmanley6102]

Old faithful is more spectacular in the summer. You missed Yellowsrone falls. It has a long series if steps and ladders that goes down along the cliff to an outcropping that gives a phenomenal view of the falls. That bear spray you carry only pisses off the bear. Please carry a 10mm handgun in bear country. We had a bear come into camp when we were at Yellowstone. Nobody wants to shoot a bear but nobody wants to be eaten either. Happy trails! :)

[@hikeroutpost]

Has your Jeep ever broke on the trail and left you stranded? How many miles did you put on it so far?

[@David-rx2to]

Beautiful video. How do you stay warm at night in those conditions? Do you have room for a house battery in the Jeep charged by the alternator while you drive? That could power an electric blanket and some other things.

[@The_Mister]

Ha! I was in West Yellowstone earlier this week and also went to Wild West pizzeria & saloon.

[@chuckzechman7390]

Summer is definitely the best time to see Old Faithful. Awesome adventure, thanks for sharing Brother! What part of PA are you from? Planning to go to AOAA November 10 for the first time to get some beginner trails in before heading to Moab for the 2019 EJS.

[@mtbpirates]

Great videos. Really appreciate all the hard work you have to do to produce these videos! Highly suggest you get a winch as at some point you are going to get stuck or take a bad slide and need one and since you are out there solo it is only a matter of time. Please consider this.

[@porkbelly602]
