V7E1: Threshold of the Northeast

A new chapter commences as I set off from Pennsylvania with a rejuvenated Jeep! First, I make my way to the Adirondack State Park in northern New York for a hiking adventure in the High Peaks. Then, I continue east toward Bristol, Vermont, to explore Green Mountain National Forest and some ancient backroads.

[@OneManTrail]

Chris, you have the patience of a saint. As someone who has done videos, I FULLY understand and appreciate how much time and effort you put into setting up the camera, getting the shot, then going back for the camera. It's just insane.

[@kevinFJ]

One Man Trail ( totally agree. His videos are so good I feel like I’m watching a movie, I feel bad for him thou cause I know how hard it must be. )

[@nosnerd1967]

I agree . It’s like doing everything twice . But I’m hooked . Awesome work Chris

[@syedhashemi9787]

Your narration and video makes me feel like I am there , thanks

[@donaldfuller4625]

Looks like you’ve definitely gained confidence on the off pavement trails now that you have the new winch installed. Thanks for all your efforts in the videos!

[@jayfoster5756]

Your videography continues to amaze me.

[@davestelling]

Evening, Chris... I'm just beginning your adventure here that will take us over into Maine & the maritimes. This is exciting, right here from the comfort and coziness of my four-poster bed...

[@tommytelles7173]

Great video, it amazes me how few encounters with wildlife you have.

[@bensleeper4731]

must be comforting knowing you can travel alone down very muddy passes knowing if you get stuck you have a winch to get yourself out.

[@rondickson7906]

Great videos,very well done 👍🏻. Watching for a while now and a subscriber. Coolest Jeep!! 😎

[@ACK88]

If you're ever back in upstate NY I would highly recommend exploring the finger lakes region. Ithaca, Watkins Glenn, etc. Great waterfalls, hiking and mountain biking

[@TheInamanica]

Upstate NY is absolutely gorgeous. Whether it is the Finger Lakes, Letchworth State Park, Catskills, or the Adirondaks.

[@jackbrigden3743]

As usual , another great vid . Keep them coming Chris . Having that new winch is opening up new trails and adventures for you .Take care and best wishes from Bremen, Germany .

[@reneepowell8541]

I just noticed the quote on your fold-down table about the end, lol. Really enjoy your videos, keep 'em coming!

[@roberth7894]

Beautiful country in upstate NY and Vermont, I loved seeing those class 4 roads!

[@TheDudeGonzalez]

Your videos are just awesome it's like I am travelling with you. Never been in the USA and it's on my bucket list

[@JT-py9lv]

Life is too short not to be eating Pizza. Watching you hike reminds me of the book "My side of the mountain" by Jean Craighead George.

[@davestelling]

Great book & great movie, too...

[@mestallbaumer]

NY looks beautiful. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to check it out sometime.

[@countingcoup]

Stuck in the jeep during the rain, time to buy an Outdoor Ukulele, and learn how to play it 😝 love these adventures, hope you make it back to the Pacific Northwest ~

[@henryi9738]

Chris, I love all those shots of nature ! amazing, breath taking beauty ! thank you

[@johnatha8041]

Wrench looks good, good luck in the northeast and where ever your adventures take you.

[@justherb666]

We love the Keene Valley and drive through taking our son to and from college.

[@Engine1fire]

Love your channel and content. I hope to do what you're doing oneway. I have a suggestion that will imensily help travelling in the rain. Treat your windshield with Rain X. You will have increased visibility and won't even need to use the windshield wipers. It's very inexpensive and easy to apply and one application will last for months. Safe travels, Marc

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

BE SAFE! HAVE FUN!GOD BE WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY! ENJOYED!

[@manitoucole2]

Funny! Love the juxtaposition of Bug-Protected-Man and the Oblivious.

[@frankansley7941]

Love your video as always. Glad you found some more Cheez its . That was a cool lizard. Thanks for taking us along

[@landshark6810]

Still doing a great job Chris thanx again for all of your effort. I am amazed at how little wildlife you come across on your walks.

[@buckhound5881]

As my wife and I so enjoy your meanderings, may we suggest you drive through Smugglers Notch, it’s just your style! Then to Barton Vermont for Parker Pie’s pizza.

[@naturalcare2373]

Thanks for the video, great locations.

[@naturallyadriftphotoadvent123]

If you had been in the the more southern regions of the Adirondacks like the Moose River Plains you would have needed to use that bug bucket! Would have been neat to bump into you or sight your rig my little guy would have gone nuts! We have had a ton of rain here in New York, this past weekend Thursday- Sunday was the most sunshine we have seen in a long time!

[@albertusdrostable]

For a couple of months your program has been the highlight of the day. Since V6 , the moment we realy caught up with your travels, it is the highlight of the week. But this week I could not wait any longer and decided to watch some of your future episodes. Now, I can not give you any details, because I do not wat to contaminate the timeline, but it will be awesome!!! Save travels and greetings from the Netherlands!

[@scottfletcher199]

I thought sure that was you kayaking! Haha! Stay Safe!

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris Vermont class 4 roads look like a great adventure, other than the occasional blockade by fence... I was sure you’d be reconnecting with Jennifer seeing you’re in her home state... Safe travels

[@SamuelMuyaWachira]

Those are beautiful sights

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Great video Chris... Thank you

[@CharmingDutchman]

Chris I don't know how you do it, but every time you do get me to watch entire episodes and I love them! Again I totally fell in love again with a little town that you drive through. One day I'm definitely gonna make my own trip through the US.

[@scottbozzoli2088]

I have to say, I love your videos. I Just bought a Mango Tango Jeep rubicon! Hopefully I can get half the use out of it that you do Thank you for the video’s

[@dannysawyer6322]

My favorite channel! Thank you Chris!

[@hikingff77]

So many awesome places to see! By far the most informative video for me so far as I live in SE PA and travel to VT and Maine every summer. Thanks!

[@Stormskiing]

I'm in Burlington, VT. It was fun to watch you pass thru our Green Mt State. Thanks for confirming the Mosquito count. I got 7 or 8 bad bites just walking downtown to the Jazz Festival the other night!!! Keep making your great videos and I'll keep watching.

[@oldchicago3216]

Another great video, really enjoy them.

[@rustyharvey3481]

Hi Chris not sure if you’ll see this comment but I’m watching these videos from here to when you go up into Newfoundland and Nova Scotia because I’m planning a trip there in a month so I’m gonna watch your videos to help me plan how to do this trip

[@geoffatgandm9983]

Great content, great stories... Thank you so much!

[@GjranSther]

My favorite show. That includes it all. TV, Streaming services! I am looking forward to each friday and your new episode! Like so many has said. The way you film and put it together makes it feels like I am there in way! Cheers from a fellow overlander in Norway!

[@tentsrus6945]

Chris, your vids are absolutely the best out there as far as the 4wd exploring the country goes. Some traveling, some hiking, some four wheel driving, sandwiches, coffee shops and a whole bunch of camping. I so look forward to every Friday's next adventure. You really do feel as if you are riding along. Your attention to detail in setting up your shots and vids are incredible. If you ever wander into the 51st state of "Superior", Michigan's Upper Peninsula keep an eye out for a Sandstorm colored F.J. Cruiser with "Superior Overland" badging. I always am on the lookout for an orange Ruby with a Jackson on the roof. Cheers!....................Barry

[@bobdemichele1542]

Just return from that area over the weekend and the weather rain and cold but your are right beautiful area.

[@bkbroiler8069]

Glad to see you were in my neck of the woods last week. I could have directed you to a few good spots for off roading but none of of them are listed online and most of them are just north of LP.

[@shelbyarmit6027]

Yea. You make it look easy. Maybe sometime, just for fun.......don't edit it all out. Love your videos & appreciate the effort.

[@sasquatchtree15]

Chris, awesome to run into you and the NJ crew on the hillside camp. Was so nice up there I went back on sat nite but Dale had taken that spot so I had to find another. Good times!

[@GIGUNS-0341]

your Jeep looks cool with the new winch,now you need new tires..Lol. nice video .

[@theodorossorvatziotis7372]

Hi there! I like the way you record and capture your experiences! It's not one way or the other but a combination of different optical angles. It requires lots of time, for sure, thanks a lot!

[@stevec2665]

Welcome to Vermont Chris. We have had a lot of snow, then rain, then mosquitoes this year. That was a very close shot of almost running over your camera. Great footage as usual.

[@GoingPlacesOne]

Awesome work!

[@GoodTrails]

Great channel! ADKs are amazing

[@kudraadk]

I live in the southern part of the Adirondack Park and I know what you're saying about the lack of dirt roads. That being said Vermont's dirt roads are plentiful and some are smoother than pavement. Happy trails Chris!

[@elbee1290]

Beautiful work on this video in my home state (NY). The neon green color in the leaves is so beautiful. Within a few weeks, all the foliage will be a much darker green but for now, everything looks illuminated. Please be careful when out hiking in shorts and short sleeve shirts, this is serious Lyme tick territory.

[@yotafan03]

I try to get up in the Keene valley area and Vermont at least twice a year! Love it.. live in NEPA..was fun watching you visit the places that are on my usual have to stop quick list! The mountaineer, the coffee shop there and that waterfall! Haha.. I couldn’t make the stop at Ok to say hi, maybe another time! Safe travels man!

[@blackbeard308]

Dude me and my wife love your channel keep rocking

[@jager1782]

Another awesome video thanks Chris!

[@tbillington]

I wondered what that big ramp thing was in your Instagram story this week. Thought it was some sort of conveyor system, never would have guessed a ski jump.

[@garysalvano6147]

Excellent video Chris! Planning on doing Mt Marcy and stumbled across your overlanding vid. Great job!!

[@kearnsey64]

Adirondack state park encompasses 6 MILLION acres!! Lots of Sasquatch sightings!

[@robertrhode6104]

Thanks for the ride, Chris 👍

[@timsterling2949]

I kind of feel like you have needed some kind of tarp a few times man lol. Might be a good investment.

[@dbltime]

Great videos Chris. Our nephew, Greg L. , Who you worked with at Sharp, told us about your channel and adventures! Fantastic.

[@Ivansgarage]

Black Bears, you should always go hiking with a friend, and make sure you can run faster than your friend... lol

[@tombrooks8565]

Boy, I bet you slept well after climbing the Cascade! Great shot of you in the kayak!

[@FakeNews_Ignored]

Long time watcher. After seeing what you do, when you are done with your Jeep, count me out as a possible buyer. 😊😊🙋🙏

[@conniewaite1996]

Really nice area,thought you might need to try out your winch there.lolcant wait till next time,stay safe!

[@turbojunki]

Another great video man. I’m just outside Reading, Pa. I’ve been following since the beginning

[@baggerrider8073]

Pizza, pizza, pizza! Chris I love the videos, but I’ve been on a diet and your obsession with pizza (and mine as well) got the best of me today and I caved! I fell victim to a brick oven salami and sausage pizza. Oh the humanity! Of course I have no choice but to hold you personally responsible. I hope you understand 😳. PS: please keep the awesome videos coming. You are blessing many people.

[@timlowe9346]

Chris, yu are a genius......top bloke!

[@caseymohr9764]

Just finished watching all your videos. Its been a hell of a trip binge watching them back to back. Keep it up! One thing tho...put some mustard or mayo on your sandwiches!!! :)

[@cherokeebilly69_jeepnwv11]

Dude was that you killin it in your Jackson Rogue... yakin down that river? Always love your vids man.

[@Clark3406]

I have said it before and I’ll say it again. Your videos are so awesome. I know you will but I’ll say it. KEEP IT UP also. If you are ever in Montana (Lincoln Montana area) I would love to meet you. Thanks for the content.

[@richardbixler5718]

All that's needed is a good hike nearby after eating pizza. 😁

[@steventure7939]

FSHTACO 🤣 that license plate killed me

[@christophermagrin1492]

The last shot by the fire...bug bucket for the win!

[@americanrover3865]

Chris, Now you're in my neck of the woods. If you see a silver LandRover with a rooftop tent, stop and say hello.

[@BOLTx22]

I thought that was you in the rapids for a second lol

[@user-hi5rs6sd6f]

Wow It's beautiful.

[@lukek3953]

Thank you for the video. Really enjoyed watching it. Got me all relaxed. By the way, that roof tent on your Wrangler, that's really sick. Got video for it? :)

[@XB0XHeadShot]

Awesome, awesome! Love it!

[@phattygoodness7347]

Looks at ...and then into the primitive toilet with great caution, and elects to go grab a shovel. I'm with ya, lol!

[@jemarloc]

Chris is such a nerd. But I love his enthusiasm and adventures

[@Outdoor_MED]

I am in Upstate NY. The high peaks is an amazing place Chris. Try to go see Lake Placid and ski center. If you do some hiking in the peaks that would be awesome. Whiteface mountain offer really nice views and you can drive up it.

[@Matt02341]

Like the other commenter said, Cheez-It’s!! The Geeko? and You. Awesome Video. That’s one well traveled box. As they mentioned at OK4wd, if you ever need touch up paint, hand them a Cheez-it.

[@drlehman73]

Love the Daks!

[@allenheaps2084]

Hi Chris, you should start a beer diet to help maintain that waistline lol. Thank you so much for your hard work. You make it look so easy!

[@Dangling_Carrot]

Great video

[@garygiles63]

thanks, another great vid :)

[@matthewwesley2179]

The Mountaineer is the best gear store in the country! No place like the ADK..

[@alexcazanas6899]

Awesome views! I look forward to watching every week. You’ve inspired me to trade my 2017 TRD Taco for a Rubicon. I’ve enjoyed both my Tacos but it’s time to try something new. Jeep should sponsor you brother!

[@hooligantimes9132]

I got me a Just Empty Every Pocket Gladiator a few days ago. I love it and finally understand the hype! No more ZR2!

[@alexcazanas6899]

That’s awesome! I just saw one up close yesterday. Very sharp!

[@timmcg8138]

You need to get a thermacell to deal with the Mosquitos. I'd be happy to mail you one if i knew where to send it!

[@kevincartwright3915]

Chris the sandwich king.

[@JeffinBville]

Safety reasons, yes. But more importantly to bring to legislators when we need more money to show how many people - and where they're from and why funding to maintain the facilities is needed.

[@mtbpirates]

Finally got a winch!!!

[@Sol3y2010]

Dude u r the best I wish if i can explore with my jeep like u Which camera u r using

[@OneManTrail]

I recently had a pair of Vasque Juxt and the damp traction was so poor, I saw your feet slip a few times too. Mine were unsafe on damp rocks. I went back to my Salomons.

[@bobbyjoe1914]

nice vid venture👍

[@oldgergg]

The first shot of you without your big beard surprised me

[@buildexplore3278]

Camper/hiker/rock climber well done!
