V7E25: Bits and Pieces in the Keystone State

[@erichughes9098]

Nice video thank you Chris😎👍

[@WesPsWorld]

I do believe I would replace the cb radio with another radio though. You may never use it but it's safer to have it just in case you do ever need to use it. You never know when a time may come that you'll need that thing. I'm a Ham radio operator and it has helped me several times in an emergency rather it was a Ham radio or CB. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Great job on the videos, keep them coming!!!!

[@byknphil]

Sunday morning coffee complete. Thanks for the videos.

[@thangray531]

As always, love your stuff, Chris. Keep on keeping it real.

[@ronsmith8071]

Missed watching your videos. Keep them coming.

[@41GarageandGrill]

Not sure how you do it but you make cleaning a Jeep seem interesting. Thanks for sharing! Already looking forward to the next one

[@wildcatoutdoors]

When your job is your passion, your passion becomes a job.. Everyone has to unplug and take a break...happy holidays buddy

[@TheBearDenPhotography]

One needs to take time for some housekeeping and R&R every now and then. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@frankiecalabro2617]

Happy Thanksgiving Chris to you and the family!!! Stay safe, warm and healthy!!!

[@athanhellene3642]

Hi Chris!!!Another great vlog!!!I wish you the very best!!! Greetings from Olympia Pelloponesse Greece!!!

[@jacmens]

Thanks for sharing Chris, goodluck with the Jeep att ok

[@scottbates5099]

Super happy that you're from PA, even better you're local to me York, PA. Really enjoying the videos, it's making me want to live out my dream of leaving my IT job, buying a Jeep and traveling the country.

[@aaron5222]

I ordered manual Tacoma offroad because of this channel. I dont plan to do anything crazy but do plan on taking my small family on trips. Keep up the great videos

[@user-bm7kq7kf5n]

Got to see ya out here in the wilds of Lancaster county. My best to you and family. St Petes has been terribly abused, was / is a special place from my teen years as well. Take care sir & safe travels.

[@PrestonGladd]

Great meeting your at the BROG flea market! Safe travels! Looking forward to seeing Cole tackle some off road trails with you!!

[@Berncarp707]

Great to see you back Chris. Been waiting for your video and as always you never disappoint. You're an inspiration to do what you're doing. Can't thank you enough for bringing us along. See you in a couple weeks buddy.

[@mikewilde64]

I'm enjoying your videos and travels. Your registration sticker on your jeep shows 10-17. Lucky you haven't been pulled over yet.

[@Kurtz6603]

Always love seeing your videos as they feel genuine. You document things that we all do on or after our trips the content creators seem to avoid. Keep up the awesome work!

[@shurppa64]

Great to see you get some down time. Could tell by the look on your face that it's done some good. I'll be looking forward to your next post.

[@garygiles63]

Happy thanks giving to you, another great vid. G

[@scottyb226]

Chris i thought it was cool you were from south PA but it looks like i grew up right down the road from you, in Downingtown. Thanks for the trip back to that area, really brought back some nostalgia for me.

[@doreengardner2849]

Thanks so.much for the update! Happy Thanksgiving to you. I enjoy your postings very much. Take care and good luck at OK four wheel drive!

[@JCB-Jeeps-Camping-Bourbon]

Great video, Chris. One suggestion (Jeep related) is to get that front passenger fender flare back on level with the driver's side. There's a metal tab that runs from beneath the stock liner, out towards the top of the fender flare. Just bend that UP and it will level out the flare. Looking forward to the next video!

[@MichaelAnderson-nh4gu]

It’s always nice to connect with family, I don’t know what it is about the smell of coffee in the morning. Maybe a comfort thing, brings back great memories. I look forward to seeing your video in two weeks. Keep family and friends close to your heart.

[@overlandtowater]

I see an Opinel mine has been one of my favorite knives ever. Its a little larger than a lot of other everyday pocket knives but they are rock solid, and the price is sweet!...another great one!

[@stevetabor4447]

Gorgeous scenery glad your safe to you an your family wish you a blessed season as always be safe

[@robertrhode6104]

Great to have you home Chris. I would have joined you at Sant Peters Village, just a few miles from my house in Morgantown, Pennsylvania. Keep posting I look so forward to your blog. Safe travels. Bob😚

[@nowayjose6195]

Bonus video, plus the always enjoyable "Chris On A Rock"! Enjoy your family and thank you as always.

[@rodneyvenzon7462]

I would keep the amber cover and order another one for the other light. It would help out with glare in the winter months in the snow and fog. Then coming summer switch it back or maybe not. I would give them a try. You might like the contrast you see when you drive at night. Happy Thanksgiving

[@guykulwanoski1629]

Thank you for bringing us along. Great content as always. Cole behind the wheel, wow.

[@keithcope8113]

Happy thanksgiving buddy enjoy your time at home you deserve some down time. The jeep looks like its getting all fixed up to go again cant wait to see what the dealer says about its mechanical condition. Meanwhile stayvsafe C-ya

[@roadtrip5643]

Nice jacket chris!!good to see you man!

[@timlowe9346]

Chris, love your show, look forward to every episode, thanks for sharing your life with us all. Loved this episode, you are very meticulous and organised!!

[@Perry3377]

Cool Levi coat Chris, I used to own one. Always informative to learn new and efficient ways to pack the Jeep. Good to see you spending time with your family and recharging your Spirit. Can't wait to see what's in store for the Jeep at OK... Safe travels, Perry

[@backcountrypipe]

Love your channel. Happy Thanksgiving

[@1111Overland]

That sausage and Brussel sprouts looked SO good... I’m gonna have that for lunch. Really enjoyed this weeks episode. Sitting in my chair in Utah, looking out the window at the snow and enjoying living vicariously through your adventures.

[@BaroTheHusky]

*Made a coffee and grabbed a seat to relax and watch.*

[@timetogodoug]

Thanks Chris, have a great time with family!

[@sewallm60]

Yeah even bits and pieces from you are entertaining Thanks

[@wilderrick2042]

Thanks for the video update Chris, great video as always. I can't speak for everyone else on here but, I've been going through some Venture4wd withdrawal these last few weeks. Being able to sit down with my young son Cole every Saturday morning just to watch Chris's latest adventures, has definitely become one of her favorite things to do. So you enjoy your time off, enjoy that lovely family of yours, get that jeep of yours shipshape once again and we'll look forward to your next video upload in a couple weeks.

[@dougharlow6037]

That stream and rocks reminded me of Truckee, CA. beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

[@thomasrsunday8945]

Missed you last week, man!!!

[@farleyboy1968]

Great video as always, Chris. We will write you again soon and look forward to seeing your time spent at OKWD...Gary, THE Poets Pen.

[@murphtahoe1]

So glad you got to spend time with your family! Truly impressed with your packing skills and a nice job servicing you camper top...

[@squizzyt8698]

Thanks Chris...always entertaining and informative...enjoy your family time mate!

[@UtahTenkara]

OMGOSH! That stream is beautiful. I love fly fishing boulder strewn streams like that with plunge pools everywhere.

[@ati573]

Happy Thanksgiving, another great vlog

[@scottbowman5673]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Great to see some vids again. Hoping your travels and family time serves you well, take care and we will be waiting for your next adventure soon.

[@BucksMom218]

Hey you are back man. Nice to see you again.

[@stevebenfit7841]

Thanks Chris and I am happy you are spending family time!!!

[@stevecoscia]

Very nice, Chris. Good to see you taking a break.

[@geoffcook9103]

Love the old school Levi’s jean jacket look, with the new age Sherpa lining!! Fresh!

[@rebo1841]

Love you video’s man, on-road, off-road and even the maintenance. greetings from Holland

[@cherokeebilly69_jeepnwv11]

Happy Thanksgiving Chris!! My daughters and I got to catch up on some of your older journeys that were awesome in the past few days. After watching you for about a year now I’m going to buy a roof top tent for my Jeep after the first of the year, so we can go camping as well. You are such a great inspiration for this, and I thank you. My girls and I are really looking forward to doing this on the weekends. Thanks again, and safe travels. 😎

[@laytonhaese7888]

Love your videos as usual

[@schmoab]

Happy Holidays Chris.

[@AndrewTurner251]

Cool jean jacket I really like it.

[@nationwyde1]

You’re back! Nice haircut!

[@dougzirkle5951]

Hey, Chris! I live just south of Bedford, so it was nice to see a little snippet of you driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I admire your attention to detail and also agree with you concerning the graffiti...such a turnoff. Take care!

[@GRAMMIEDEBI]

What beautiful photography. Reminds me of what I love about PA. ❤🚐❤

[@Chugklr650]

Congratulations to your son,. Hopefully, he’ll carry on the travelling tradition. 👍 One thing I noticed is how inexpensive your fuel is in Pennsylvania. When you were here in Newfoundland, it was approximately $1.22 litre...almost double! Welcome to my world. Lol Safe travels.

[@donpham4911]

Hi Chris,I’m always follow you.I hope see next your video

[@The_Wood]

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, sir. I guess I will just have to watch this week's episode next Saturday morning the same as I did last week. LOL! Enjoy your time around the house and family. Looking forward to what you find with the Jeep and what sort of upgrades for it you have in mind. Take care and see you soon.

[@davidlorrain1606]

Happy Thanksgiving to you Chris. AKA The Buddha of Overlanding😎

[@climberclimb]

Another excellent episode. Cheers

[@BaroTheHusky]

Happy holidays chris.

Happy Thanksgiving Chris 🍽🍁🦃... Great vid as usual and look forward to the next one 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻

[@OverlandCitrus]

Glad all is well looks like you had a restful time with family stay safe see ya in 2 weeks.

[@tacoburn5198]

Great episode, Chris! Not lacking at all, like you thought it might be. It’s interesting to follow you around on your chores and local adventures. Going to look at the Tacoma with Alu-cab truck topper at OK4WD? 😉

[@desertfox486]

"Bob Ross is the man." Truer words have never been written. Welcome back to PA. Have some scrapple, Taylor's Pork Roll, a hoagie, a cheese steak, maybe a stromboli and a big soft pretzel and enjoy life before hitting the road again. Don't forget the Tastykakes.

[@kirk189]

Happy Holidays welcome back to PA👍🏼

[@thesolutionstoreroberson6281]

Happy Thanksgiving my friend good to see you back on the road again

[@peteacevedo3411]

Happy Thanksgiving Chris looked like the Jeep faired well after the accident. Take some time and with family and friends recharge.

[@SuperwheelieOverland]

I am quite impressed to see how in good shape your jeep is overall after all you put it through 👍 btw, glad to see you are using an Opinel knife (#8?). Thx for supporting my country 😁🇫🇷 Enjoy your time at home. Cheers !!

[@ohiorelichunter912]

would love to see you do the Trans America Trail since your on this side of the country...with your style of photography it would be Epic..safe travels looking forward to the next vid

[@joshleal9811]

Hope you had a great thanksgiving with family and friends.

[@mikehoffman3690]

Liked the recap of your time back home. It’s good to reconnect.

[@g.r.2985]

Second viewer!! Nice haircut, Chris. Good to see you back.

[@ccl005jn]

Wishing you a lovely relaxing Thanksgiving.

[@julienbrouillard5446]

Hey Chris, last time you went through your Jeep, debating what to keep or not, there are 3 items you keep but never use, your shower... let's face it, it takes space, it's heavy, and you absolutely never ever use it. And you have a tent AND a hammock, and you never ever pitch a tent, even when in one of your videos you had a gorgeous camp site but that required a tent, you just went further to look for a place to pop your camper. it's probably handy to keep a tent, in case, but then tent+hammock+camper seems over redundent when you basically exclusively stay in camper. Just thoughts 😌. extra gear=more space+heavier=more gas 😅. love your videos!!

[@rondickson7906]

Great videos Chris. Sounds like a new Jeep might be in the plans ?? 👍🏻

[@TroutFishing]

Your channel is great!

[@kennethvalerio3282]

I'm so hooked on getting an orange rubicon,I've got the anvil Sahara unlimited right now but not for long ,happy thanksgiving & see you soon.👍[oo]

[@bradyfilm]

Hey Chris, even though I agree with ditching the 27mhz radio you should really have one in case of emergency. Buy yourself a handheld UHF thats all you need. Thanks for another great episode.

[@amydixoncox5000]

Great video..Happy belated Thanksgiving! Nice haircut :)

[@garthhayward9581]

All in all your Jeep and the Ursa Minor top have been phenomenal and quite forgiving of some of your exploits. I don't know if there is a better one or two person setup. The only area where I think it could be improved is the fuel economy. Perhaps there's a Diesel Jeep in your future Chris. Happy thanksgiving and good to see your boy attained his learners license.

[@rogerhalt3991]

Did he do an install video of the Ursa Minor tent? I’ve been curious ever since 2months ago when I started following..I just thought he cut a hole in the roof in the middle for the hatch to get up. Spending all day checking everything over is no time at all considering you spend time speeding every night inside. You need to make it secure and warm :) can’t wait for more!

[@tpseeker3367]

No he didn't. He did do a vid of the Ursa Minor facility though.

[@dinobm13]

Bloomsburg covered bridge tour on Dec. 8 . Looks like something you would enjoy. Will be over 100 jeeps, could pick up more sponsors there.

[@nowayjose6195]

Hi Steve, Do you know of any YT vloggers who will be attending/recording this? I'd like to see this!

[@samsiegel9056]

Welcome back to PA!!

[@David-rx2to]

Considering the color change on the Helio window, do you think it could benefit from a bath in some warm bleach water? When you stopped for gas at Sheetz, did you try some of their MTO sandwiches? The tuna is my fave.

[@212caboose]

It's been a while since you had that 2nd fuel tank installed- could you do an overview/review of it? There's not too much detailed info on it. I'd like to see how re-filling and such is done, how you like it, clearances w/your driveshaft off road etc.

[@Unburdened_Beauty]

Hey my uncle Gary Heidnik used to live in Philly!!!

[@Offshore1977]

I think the amber lens would look great. Go ahead and get the other one from them.

[@TwoWheelsBigLife]

I love the rig. What kind of camper top is that for your Jeep?

[@AdventureswithJerrod]

I thought I was the only one that got the Baha blast at Taco Bell! Lol Happy Holidays Chris! You have inspired me to save up for a jeep of my own!

[@hooligantimes9132]

Removing doors with windows down makes handling easier and protects the glass.

[@expeditionlife9130]

He took the passenger side off. If you remember he unplugged that side because of electrical gremlins on that side after the accident.

[@hooligantimes9132]

@@expeditionlife9130 I don't recall the windows not functioning. Simply passing along a tip given to me.

[@paulross7744]

another good suggestion is to use a Panel Carry Handle at the bottom. Have others mentioned that Chris should have an Amazon store? I'm not really sure what its called but it would be good for him ($) and good for viewers (convenience), www.amazon.com/Stanley-93-301-14-Inch-Yellow-Handle/dp/B00004UDN8

[@DB-yj3qc]

Them doors look lighter than a TJ door 🤔 but if you can roll windows down first it's a lot easier to remove and put back on. Reason I don't like power windows is water and or time equates to problems. But not a option on new ones.

[@frankansley7941]

Enjoyed your video. Glad you had a good Thanksgiving with Cole and the rest of your family. Looking forward to see the changes you are going to make on your Jeep. How many miles are on it now? Thanks for taking us along.

[@taunushabitat9000]

Oh dear ... I really shed some tears. Are you seriously intend to get rid of your CB radio? I always expected you once will bring it to life and there will be some chat with others. However, I have to admit it's a bit limited at remote regions indeed. But I still like it though. :) Anyway thanks a lot for another phantastic season with all your adventures, ups and downs and all these amazing landscapes you travelled. All the best to you, have a great Christmas season and a happy new year. I think we are all pretty keen and looking forward to see you next year again. Best Regards, Joerg (a fan from Frankfurt Germany)

[@lencost1]

Is the Ursa Minor camper mated to a factory Jeep top or is it on a Ursa Minor manufactured top? Thank you for the videos.
