V6E18: The Sidelined Driveline

[@defib]

I never thought about (until now) how much extra labor all those rolling drive-by shots take. thats some dedication

[@w9jim]

What else doe he have to do all day?

[@trooper2221]

Ya, it kinda turns it in to work

[@ajr5195]

Audio and video has never been better quality. I cant imagine the work you put into creating and editing all this footage! I look forward to it every Friday. Keep up the good work!

[@Jeepingshort]

I'm so glad Chris is on KZbin. This is by far the best channel.

[@mia2113mark]

Another great video, thank you for all your efforts to bring your adventures to us. Your amazing. Huge fan from New Zealand. Safe travels mate.

[@Rangerxpcrew]

Hi Criss Thanks for your videos we let them run in the morning when getting ready for work it makes our day better!! Oh and your newest fan is our 1 yr old Chihuahua blue heeler mix Abbie don't ask I don't understand the logistics either. She sits in front of the TV and watches very intently every single episode you have. Take care and Thanks!!

[@bradyfilm]

Hi Chris, I am also a chef and we really have to talk about your cooking! I love your channel please keep the cinema of your travels coming.Thanks.

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris what a wide variety of locations within this video... Love your channel, think I’ve got another six mints to catch up on before I react the point where I’d “discovered” you... Stay safe out there

[@wyliemac]

Love the photobombs from Adam at the end. Great video Chris.

[@michaelhayes8102]

Nice finish with your friend in the background very funny. Nice job.

Awesome, coming though and seeing wautuga lake. You should have came down to Boone, NC. Only about 45 minutes from where you came by. would have loved to meet you!

[@Berncarp707]

Great video as always. Thanks for taking us along.

[@shaunhansen]

Been waiting for this all day. Thank you!

[@jonocollard97]

As a chef and Jeep enthusiast, I pay attention to your admittedly poor cooking skills. 2 tips: never start cooking anything in a cold pan that isn't water (eggs especially) always heat it up first, & your spaghetti would taste better if you brought your sauce to a quick boil (it unleashes the herbs) before you put it on the pasta (or even just toss it together in a medium-hot pan). I love your channel, just want you to enjoy camp food a bit more. Jeep On Brother!

[@FiatTastic]

And when pouring cereal make sure to add milk first.

[@flyingdutchman7585]

I just shake my head at him cracking eggs into a cold pan....some of the best editing and vids on camping on the internet but also ranks as the worst cook...eating a spam sandwich and saying "this is really good" in another vid almost made me throw-up in my mouth. I'm starting to think he does the bad cooking thing on purpose to add to the vids...it is entertaining...in a weird way.

[@Hadd13]

I was going to say the same thing Jono......... Preach my friend

[@manicmarauder]

Oh yeah, and heating the sauce also lets you customize it. You could add hamburger to it (brown it & drain it first then add sauce and let it simmer together) Add onion, black olives, garlic, whatever you want. Even just a dash of store bought chipolte powder (or any other of the many seasonings) can really change the flavor and wake up a sauce.

[@chuckzechman7390]

@@flyingdutchman7585 using a scotal to re-heat pizza, what a waste. You want to see some awesome trail cooking? Check out Marco often featured on Trailrecon's KZbin Channel. Word is he's coming out with a cook book next month. Meet him in Moab last month, super nice guy. But we love Chris and his home in PA is only about an hour from us.

[@insaynbcr]

I love BROG stuff! I recently installed a set of the headrest pouches on both front headrests in my 17 Tacoma. Great for those small finger pump bug spray, small tubeless rolls of TP, hand sanitizer, tire gauge, small tape measure, Cliff bars, etc.... I might jump on those visor pouches as well.

[@sarinfserg4965]

Awesome video Thank you for sharing your your adventure Ciao y’all

[@graybeard73]

I have both of those items, in black, in my JK. My wife is very happy with the grab bar bag. It doesn’t get in her way and is a handy place for things on a trip. I have the visor cover on the driver side and it has proven extremely useful for my park pass, and miscellaneous papers and documents. On the loops I keep an old school tire gauge for a quick check, a pocket knife with a clip, etc. Hope you find yours as helpful as I have.

[@garygiles63]

Another great watch, thanks so much for sharing. :)

[@arizonatimelesstourist846]

Really enjoying your adventures.

[@ExpeditionNomadicAdventures]

Hey Chris, it was great meeting up with you in Damascus. The trial days event is incredible. Stay safe 😃👍🏾😎✌️🏾👌🏾😀

[@maccamracecar]

Shit you were at Trail Days? I was there too to catch up with some friends. I thru-hiked 2017 NOBO. 🤙🏻

[@newdisc]

Glad you found the rattle .. nice mountain top camp site!

[@BrantHikes]

Garvey is wondering where his royalty check is! Carden's Bluff is a great place to camp and paddle, especially if you get a site with a boat launch. Lot's of great backpacking campsites within 1/4 mile of The Scales- a great way to access the Grayson Highlands for free.

[@laytonhaese7888]

Hello Chris! since I caught up on your vid's, at least for the last couple of years, it's been tough not seeing anything until Friday! Eager to see your winch and compressor set up maybe some more driving and pencil and wide-angle beam lights for those late arrival nights... Oh and maybe some side floods for setting up camp and you have a battery system (from May 5 -12 2017 posting) and don't know about high amperage alternator to keep things charged! Ok, maybe I'm getting too carried away but... once again we adventure vicariously through you!

[@chuckzechman7390]

Looks like you'll need to get the Jeep inspected when you get back to PA. Planning to catch up with you at OK4WD on the 30th. Hope to buy one of the Outback tailgate tables while we're there. Safe Travels and God Bless Brother!

[@MoisheLettvin]

Damascus is great! I went through there on my AT hike (southern half) back in '98.

[@mrj3nk044]

Pro tip: put a clean rag in the air inlet hose to the engine whenever doing work on the airbox. This stops particles like mud accidentally ending up in the engine.

[@MikeJones-og1hu]

Another great video. Me and my family look forward to them every week. If you are ever in the Luray Va area there are nice things to see. Hope to meet you one day.

[@BackroadExploration]

I really like those visor bags. I am trying to work as many space-saving items into my kit as possible and that is an area I have not even thought of.

[@missyhale4857]

Been on that road a many a time. With my 4x4 Ranger... great time!!!! Live about a mile from Watauga Lake. Probably seen you around. Our favorite Campground!!! Best campground in NE Tenn.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

BEAUTIFUL PONIES! GORGEOUS SCENERY & COLORS! I DON'T KNOW WHY OR WHAT THEY ARE THINKING WHEN THEY'RE MAKING VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT THINKING OF THE CUSTOMERS OR MECHANICS WORKING ON THEM! ENJOYED!

[@scottpetrie8707]

Ugh buddy, had the same issue on exhaust. Can’t believe you waited sooooo long. I couldn’t go 2 weeks. 🤣🤣. Good guys at Blue Ridge as well.

[@FredKuipers]

I've got lots of the Blue Ridge overland gear including the visor panels and grab bar bag. I've got the velcro version with extra flat velcro pouches on it in which I stash my receipts as I travel. On the other size, I've got a few patches, including my Overland Bound member patch. :)

[@wilderrick2042]

Chris, please tell me your going to schedule some cooking lessons for yourself when you are back home visiting family in Pennsylvania. Dear Lord I thought I was a bad cook. Lol Great show Chris as always, and you be safe out there.

[@slick7209]

Your camera skills are awesome. I’m a new fan of yours now ...1970 cj5 hopefully I’ll have some adventures of my own someday

[@everyhousetellsastory8231]

Glad to see you pull the kayak down and take a paddle. You probably do it more than I know but this is the first time I have actually seen you do it.

[@GRUBSnumber1]

YES! New video!

[@daisuke8872]

[@Overland_History]

Daisuke Suematsu Thanks Buddy! 😉👊🏻

[@KL00100]

It would be amazing if Jeep gave you a new ride after all adventure.

[@David-rx2to]

Yeah Chris...K Lor has a great idea...check out "We're the Russos" they are always getting new rigs in exchange for the exposure on their channel (I assume). Maybe contact them to see how they negotiate new rides?? See if you can wrangle a new Rubicon Gladiator. Think about all that storage space in the bed with a rack and tent above..or maybe a lightweight pop up camper in the bed??

[@jackbrigden3743]

As usual , I loved it . Thanks Chris .

[@thewanderer577]

You just made my Friday complete!

[@gilbertarnold8666]

[@wvoutdoorsman5326]

Now your getting into my stomping grounds. You need to come back to VA and WV when you have more time. I just hiked Grayson Highlands a few months ago. Beautiful place to spend time. Check out Mount Rogers. Can’t wait to see the winch.

[@scottseifert4086]

Congratulations on finding the annoying noise. I can't stand rattles in my Jeep. Been dealing with one of my own for over a year. I'm gonna check that tomorrow as that sounds similar to mine. Look into getting a high carbon steel pan from Lodge. They are non stick, you can use metal utensils and your not consuming Teflon. They run about $40. Great video.

[@huntertomlin3909]

I glad Chris you discovered Scales camping area but you should have hiked a little farther and took the summit trail up Mt. Rodgers the highest peak in VA.

[@3229343]

I really ejiy your video! Amazing job and nice jeep!

[@paulamann6570]

I,m glad you finally used your kayak. I was about to ask you if you were afraid of the water

[@alexanderweaver8650]

I just looked into purchasing a lifetime annual pass for seniors and it would cost me $90 buying online; $80 for the pass and $10 online fee. I winced at first but then realized the savings over the years in entrance and camping fees as you pointed out in this vlog, the savings on your $12/night campsite. An annual senior pass is $20...may as well buy the lifetime pass. Anyone who bought the lifetime pass prior to August 2017 will be grandfathered in with no additional costs. I wish I had bought one before then when it was $10. I bought a Virginia annual pass for its state parks and that was $36. Anyway, Chris, I am on a venture4wd binge this morning with a great cup of Juan Valdez coffee. You know, you've become one of my You Tube heroes and I'm not into hero worship at my age (72); however, I feel as though there's a kindred spirit type thing. I've been an explorer since age 10. I tried college after high school but was bored. I joined the military and right out of tech school they shipped me overseas and I was fortunate to live and work abroad 16 of my 23 years on active duty. I got to explore on five continents. I miss that life terribly. Now I sit at my desktop and live vicariously through your (and others) adventures. Occasionally I steal away from home (caregiver) to have an adventure near home. Keep doing what you do so well.

[@michaelmathis1961]

Again, let me tell you about my One Pan Spaghetti by cooking your meat first in the pan, draining the excess grease then putting in your sauce and bring that to a simmer. Add a little water and place your pasta in. I use elbows because they are easy to carry and eat. Cover and simmer for about 8-12 minutes or until the pasta is soft. Now serve and eat. One pan, less cleanup!

[@hfarley2]

Thanks for fixing that rattle!

[@crawford70]

when you asked Siri to start a timer for your pasta, my phone set a timer also!!! LOL

[@bendemby924]

Take a sharpie magic marker and mark your air filter date and miles helps a lot the older we get. Been doing this for years a lot of parts that I've been replacing.

Chris, I would really love to see you take up fishing! you have visited so many waterways during your travels just think of the different species of fish you could have caught.

[@sammiceli7645]

I enjoy your videos, especially the back forest roads and the scenery. Sometimes, you have a camp fire going, why don't you cook on that instead of using up your propane? Also, on all those back roads we don't see any wildlife, do you? Sam aka CoyoteMan N E USA

You also should use the aftermarket driveshaft as the originals are not able to handle anything over 2" lift for long. The aftermarket are much stronger.

@@MrCherrygrovedude also a factory filter is very restrictive. Manufacturers spend the last amount of money possible as a dollar on each vehicle when multiplied by millions of vehicles is a lot of money. So they cut corners where they can.
