V4E4: From Ferries to Crown Land

[@davidfreeman7750]

old man from UK .its the only way I can see the USA so please keep up the great videos . many thanks

[@takayama1638]

Old man from USA. Come on over, mate.

[@g.r.2985]

@@takayama1638 maybe it’s not the lack of friends or places to stay but an inability to travel due to health reasons, just saying

[@TheUnorthodoxx]

I must say the quality of filming you do is excellent but for some reason I've noticed a cleaner picture and greater depth of field in this episode. You do such a great job without being that guy or team that has a huge production crew and sponsors! I really appreciate what you are doing...so inspirational!

[@guyontheinternet111]

Your vids are relaxing to watch, they have that Alone In The Wilderness vibe to them, almost therapeutic. I like that you don't have soundtracks either. Keep up the good work.

[@nosnerd1967]

guyontheinternet111 AGREED . 🇨🇦

[@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI]

Those headlights that came on at 21:11 kind of made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. 😂 I’m not used to seeing that outside your tent window.

[@RamCruiserOverland]

That footage of the museum brought back a flood of memories. I visited when I was 8 years old. I was obsessively passionate about WW2 planes, and it was better than Disneyland to me.

[@AriesStyreneBistro]

Welcome to my country. I hope your stay is as pleasant as the water rushing by that amazing campsite

[@jeannejackson8582]

I just began watching your videos last Spring. Now I'm going back to earlier ones so I can enjoy those too. Thanks for taking us along they are great!

[@bburgess67]

Welcome to Canada! Hope you enjoy your time here, and thanks for the videos!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris you did great entering Canada. I’ve never ventured into Canada driving, although years ago I flew Seattle to Victoria via Kenmore Air, what an amazing trip that was... Keep doing exactly what you’ve been doing, it’s extremely enjoyable traveling with you.

[@danielfaith1]

I feel like this is the evolution of modern day travel shows. Very cool. Good luck on your adventures.

[@tanmilne]

That spot you camped on the NitNat river. A very little known area and one of my favorite places to get away from the weekend. Lots around the area I could've shown ya. Anyways, that was a couple years ago, you've been to many places since. 🙂. Just nice to see you travelling around my home area of Vancouver Island.

[@Wanderer_480]

First to coment!! Sweet!! Keep up the great work Chris. Your videos are inspiring. My wife and I always watch your videos together!!! 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@montebeerbower7796]

Really enjoy your videos and everyday real travel. Glad you and Cole had time together.

I'm loving your channel, man! Such a great pleasure to go with you in your journey! If you get a drone, I can't even imagine how great photographs you could take. Hugs from Brazil!

[@Jeepingshort]

I love your videos. I genuinely can't wait to watch them each week they come out. Keep being you.

[@bernieb223]

Just found your videos Chris. Beautiful Jeep and I'm hoping to take a trip like this someday as well. - Former High School Acquaintance

[@kukikupa3297]

Chris. Im from Indonesia . I enjoy all your video. So inspiring. Thank you.

[@ericredd5590]

Three beautiful shots right in a row at sunset starting at 11:21. So jealous. Keep up the good work.

[@arizonatimelesstourist846]

Another great video. Really enjoying your adventures, Thanks.

[@st8ton]

Good stuff this week Chris. The shot at 11:30 needs to be incorporated into an intro splash or some kind of logo. It is awesome.

[@dakotapouncey]

st8ton I came here to say just that. Spectacular.

[@susanmoriarty9900]

Definitely.......

[@thelazyhiker3288]

Perfect pic for logo

[@frankansley7941]

Museum Of Flight-- Would have stayed there for days. Loved the wrecked ship. You love your son very much

[@frankansley7941]

Green food????

[@henryi9738]

Thanks for all your videos Chris, good luck in Canada !

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Very much enjoying your journey. I've been watching your vlogs every available minute for days now. Just wish Utube would consistently list them in sequence.

[@totalcomposites484]

Hey! Thanks for the video. Vancouver Island is our homebase. Funny thing: you camped at the opposite side of the bay near Port Alberni while we stayed with the Kite boarders in China Creek. Happy travels.

[@ivanrico105]

Sorry, no hablo ingles. Me gustan mucho tus videos. Los veo todos. Me relajan despues de un largo dia de trabajo. Yo tambien practico el 4x4. Tengo dos Jeep Grand Cherokee V8. Gracias y saludos desde Segovia (Spain).

[@stillridingtrav6251]

Wonderful video as usual, travel safe sir!

[@krisg3984]

Chris- love the episodes ( noticed that t shirt many days in a row now ?) . Canada in late summer- the place to be that time of the year 🙄 That smile on your face shows real happiness, and excitement for what to come.

[@johnmccaffery5186]

First time I’ve seen something green in front of you recite the forest hope you enjoyed the salad, LOL

[@LongKodiak]

Great video and so glad you and Cole were able to see the MOF in Seattle....looking forward to see more video from Vancouver Island

[@RandallW20]

Really enjoy your stuff Chris. Looking forward to exploring Canada through your eyes as well. You make some really great vids. Keep it up 😉👍

[@scottfletcher199]

Thanks for sharing! I love watching your life!

[@NYRAPTOR6]

So glad I found your channel! Thank you!

[@charlesdetailn8514]

Great video as always!!!!!! Stay awesome. 👊🏼👊🏼😎😎

[@brydantollefson627]

Really enjoying your videos, particularly as a fellow Jeep overlander. You should definitely plan to spend some time in the B.C. interior (Kootenays) or further north near the Mackenzie trail someday. Endless logging roads and easy to find quiet and remote places to camp. Also the BC backroads mapbook can be valuable. There are downloadable GPS files as well.

[@Nunyabizn3ss]

👍👍👍 to the Kootnays. Every direction you look is postcard worthy.

[@JJ-sv9kh]

Thanks again for great video!!!

[@outdoorsandfrsmes]

welcome to canada hope i see you some day some where

[@hnorthca]

Wow Welcome to Vancouver Island where I live Stoked you get to enjoy it to

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video, thank you!

[@kendu5636]

Love your channel. Totally my style!

[@FloppyDiskMan]

Do you have a compendium of where you camp in your videos? I am really intrigued by the one you are at around 25:30 in the video.

[@darrylb4048]

Welcome to Canada (VI). Yup, there are no mosquitos on the lower part of VI, also no skunks, no porcupines and maybe some other things I don't know about. Liked the salad part of the vid, bang on for sure. LOL. Nanaimo pronunciation, that was hilarious but the same would happen if I were to try some of the USA uniquely named spots. Great vid.

[@olympusoverland]

Outstanding content! Happy hunting!

[@chrisfilippi]

Chris, I enjoy your vids and hope that you will continue production. Just wondered during your travels in Washington and Oregon if loggers cut trees and clean up as there does not appear to be left behind branches?

[@walterwillis5351]

Hi. Yah, you were here during our heat wave. But now, since August 1 the temps have been more 'normal'. The haze you were seeing around Mt. Baker is because of some wild fires in Eastern Washington. There have been years where you would not have been able to see Mt. Baker from that distance due to the smoke. Hope you enjoyed our beautiful state.

[@dougharlow6037]

seems like you like ferries, the boat kind. I wished I would have seen this video before I posted a comment about why you started using a different phone mount. Again GREAT video. God Bless

[@garygomer7940]

Enjoying your videos ... question, how did you attach your awning to your hard top? Thanks.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS VIEWS SCENERY VIDEO WEATHER FOOTAGE LANDSCAPE ! AWESOME ! THANK YOU ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON 🙏 YOUR JOURNEYS! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨

[@jorgelrod]

Great Vid!!!

[@patrickoday2430]

Sweet. I love these videos.

[@markgrudzinski914]

Went to Vancouver Island last summer and instantly fell in love. A week was not long enough. Would love to do it in a Jeep next time!

[@canuck9199]

Welcome to Canada Chris. It’s a beautiful place. I hope you enjoy it all... you should travel east through Canada before heading back south. Your dollar will go further here.

[@waywardescapes4384]

Totally agree about the Vector Bar Clamps. Got the same problem - just a little less outside diameter and things would be perfect.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

DO THE FERRIES HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY VEHICLES ON THEM BEFORE THEY LEAVE PORT ? OR WHEN IT'S TIME TO LEAVE THEY PACK UP AND GO.

[@darrylb4048]

Chris, I live just 5 minutes from Sidney BC. Are you still on VI? If so I would be pleased to show you some of the area etc I just bought my first Jeep in January 2018 and am learning the ropes. Depending on where you are I can give you some tips, like if your north on the Island then you will find many free campsites. Conversely the closer you get to Victoria the scarcer they are. Ciao

[@nowayjose6195]

Chris, relax and enjoy beautiful Canada, eh.

[@PetesJeepAdventures]

Welcome to Canada Chris !!

[@jlopes68]

i can feel the anxiety just watching. maps, metric system, fuel and mileage estimates. wow, lots to pick up! you are a clever fella, you will be talking Canadian a few vids from now. enjoy, i look forward to your next installment.

[@mykalbee]

You just missed me over on Whidbey Island. So if your planning on going over to Vancouver, BC about 2 hours east up the on the Hope-princeton highway is what is known as the Hope Slide, one of the largest landslides ever recorded in Canada. It's worth the stop at the scenic viewpoint for a snack & stretch.. Then if you head into Alberta Banff National Park is worth checking out. I saw Bighorn sheep right alongside the highway when I was driving through. If you head back down into Washington message me I'd be happy to show you Mt Baker or anywhere in the North Cascades you want to go.

[@claytonmetz3116]

My hero 3 makes that same rattling noise that hear on your video , I put a piece of felt at the back of the camera and noise gone . Welcome to Canada

[@mcgrath274]

How do you run that fridge for so long off the car batteries if you aren't running the Jeep

[@angelaguirre5350]

Just stared watching your channels and I love it. I have a question for you. How do you know where to go and the trails?

[@RunGSD]

Anacortes to Bellingham for woods coffee and back to Anacortes?

[@consaka1]

If you like aviation stuff then you and Cole should check out the Evergreen museum in McMinnville just west of Portland Oregon. There is another massive hangar around Tillamook on the coast that has various planes and jets as well.

[@AW-xv7dq]

Molybdenite Ridge - Is incredible if you make it to BC again.

[@FreedomToRoam86]

"Ska-jit" River, LOL. Beautiful country, ehh? It is good to see it again in your video. Ahh, those were the days when you could just drive into Canada for fun! Maybe next year?! As for BC, at least they drive on the right side of the road! And very pretty province.

[@montebeerbower7796]

Hey Chris I am thinking about getting a 18 jl unlimited Rubicon. After seeing your set up wondering what exact set up with tent in top. I don't travel.to speak of but how does it affect the driving and noise compared to no roof top? I'd be using mine as my daily but would love to have that when I wanted to camp out fishing or just exploring on weekends. Thanks

[@st8ton]

Chris uses an Ursa Minor camper top. To the best of my knowledge they are designing one for the new JL, yet to be released. It's not exactly something you'd want to be taking on and off often.

[@montebeerbower7796]

How does it ride with it on as a daily opposed.to off?

[@Nunyabizn3ss]

One benefit to the Ursa Minor to is the Insulation it offers when it is down. It is much lower and lighter than a rack and roof top tent set up and you don’t need to exit the vehicle to get to bed. It has lower centre of gravity and less drag too, so fuel efficiency is much better. It not a cheap option by any means, but it’s the right option for you it is worth every cent.

[@bladenrexroth2555]

You can build a better vehicle for 1/8th the cost. A 4bt bronco or k5 blazer with a few upgrades will run less than $12,000

[@adamaj74]

What camera do you use for video? It's quite nice.

[@revoland]

Can you make a video on the process of making those wonderful videos ? I was always wondering if you drive to a spot, leave the tripod and go back or just ran forward leaving the jeep behind... I got lots of other questions too :)

[@waywardescapes4384]

Yaniv Eliash he has a funny vid on patreon showing how he does it. it’s his secret to his weight loss.

[@revoland]

I know that he walks to place the camera ahead, no doubt... but the equipment behind the scene and the editing is interesting as well.

[@waywardescapes4384]

I’d like to know how much footage he captures a day vs how much he actually uses.

[@revoland]

From the videos that I publish on my channel I use about 30-50 percent only - you can't keep the audience for hours watching the roads that you go.

[@JP-wz8dt]

First and most importantly - great work Chris, I always enjoy your videos. I'm just wondering if you weren't as engaged in the business of production how bored would you become being mostly by yourself and unable to discuss and share the experience.

[@brianruff1133]

Yeah, I would've picked up that coffee bean, too. Take care.

[@Ayong-k8y]

Excuse me is your roof tent sold in Asia? I'm Taiwan

[@sonorablue3291]

Chris. How about more cooking adventures. ?? Branching out your cooking skills on the Skottle.

[@limbsoup]

lmao ive been binge watching your videos and i was like damn dude u need to eat some veggies! happy to see that salad :D

[@hermit6208]

I think it every damn time I watch one of his videos. LOL. This man's colon is a time bomb. 😂😂😂

[@Jackalopestravels]

Really good video

[@nickfranco6947]

If your ever in Portland,Oregon and need a break from the road get in touch.My wife and I love your channel.

[@takayama1638]

Hey Chris, go on up to VANcouver and see old Justincredible. He good old boy. I too late, since it almost Christmas. Wait! You hear that BigFoot banging on tree?! You need a small hand grinder. That's wha' we use at home, traveling, love it. It very hard to eat healthy in America. Lived in Asia over 30 years, healthy food there even at Family Mart! I think you need to lay off so many hamburgers. And white bread.

[@jkxtc2016]

Do you carry extra gas when you go in the back country...

[@teg8279]

Why were you in 4wd at 9:27.

[@AaronMoody]

If you happen to make it into Campbell River, my uncle owns and operates a nice little local restaurant called the Ideal Cafe.

[@wildandliving]

You could catch a ferry to the bc mainlandnand drive a gravel higheay back to the us a neat loop

[@KIPMoto]

FYI there is no longer any free camping on van isle 🙃

[@johnthomas425]

For one hot minute in the museum you must have thought that it would be great to convert a big plane into an rv. Then realize that could be cost prohibitive. Stay safe

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Let us know if you are coming to Ontario.

[@PROXIMO22]

that ferry is named Cathlamet after my home town :)

[@cmprvn]

@venture4wd My old stomping grounds! Definitely check out Port Renfrew, Ucluelet/Tofino and Strathcona Park. They are a sight to be seen.

[@TopComment777]

Could you do a Q&A please?

[@joshreed7102]

Go check out Goats on a Roof then head over to the western side of the island it’s more remote and wild. Watch for bears.

[@theaztecsun]

Vancouver Island is a Bigfoot hotspot. What is the most unexplained thing you have encountered out there in the wilderness? BESIDES the haunted tent.

[@nosnerd1967]

24:20 .... WOW

[@Ayong-k8y]

awesome

[@thomasrsunday8945]

[@brandonwhite1869]

Just a tip, try responding to your viewers and their comments. Might make for better entertainment and “content” purposes. Anyways, love your videos. Keep em coming.

[@MrWinger1951]

Brandon White: I suggested this very thing quite some time ago and was told basically he is 'too busy' to respond.

[@srkn100]

MrWinger1951 why does it matter whether he responds to “comments” or not? He takes great pains to make half hour video that is worth watching.

[@msjenkins]

srkn100 Because social media is meant to be kept social, and it expresses gratitude to people who take time out to view his content. It's impolite as a content creator to ask for people to subscribe and become patrons supporting your channel while remaining unreachable.

[@srkn100]

Ms Jenkins the gratitude is mandatory. Since when? Thats news to me. You are contributing to his channel because YOU are enjoying the content he produces and NOT because he responds to every post of yours or others that contributes. Your logic is askewed about generosity on social media. Btw, he does provide his route maps and locations to his patreon subscribers and has no obligation none whatsoever to respond to free viewers.

[@MrWinger1951]

srkn 100: You might want to look into how viable YT channels remain as such. Its a business. And you're absolutely right about "free viewers" and I have no intention of being a Patreon contributor to any YT channel, and I subscribe to 110 at the moment. Are you a Patreon contributor?
