V12E16: On the Cusp of Colorado

[@UBRLND-X]

always a great episode when you take a few minutes to mentor and share experience with optional components for others. An essential part of this platform is helping others on their journeys and you do that very well. Kudos! I have been following since the beginning and wouldn't miss an episode.

[@AdventureswithJerrod]

Out of all the adventure channels I follow you have the most epic one!! Adventure on!!

[@physicalstarfighter2131]

I have to tell you I really like the way you narrate your videos

[@kimberlyderushafleeman493]

I enjoy watching the videos

[@FreedomToRoam86]

Absolutely gorgeous country!

[@bobmasters1678]

Wow, that is some nice scenery there

[@TomCrosman]

That first turn around was the back way to top of the world. Been there turned around too.

[@RinconPilot]

Great episode, the trim looks much better IMO.

[@RFMaster6]

You should write a book about all your travels, campsites, and Overlanding.

[@taunushabitat9000]

Another incredible footage with very new and great cam angles. Every time I see your pictures, I am magically drawn into this unique landscape. I think you cannot be grateful enough to live every day anew, surely in one of the most wonderful and beautiful countries and landscapes on earth. Besides, the short beard suits you, somehow makes you younger. :)

[@corydriver7634]

The Mr Rodgers of overlanding.

[@dmwi1549]

Wow, I thought that slip at 6:40 was going to result in a boulder sized dent in the passenger door. Whew! That would have been an interesting recovery.

[@Jeepingshort]

Rose garden hill!!

[@WolfOverland]

7:23 i want that framed in my living room!

[@williamkenyon9858]

Chris, I think you missed putting the camera in the glove box...🤣. Seriously, love this episode and I haven’t even finished it yet. Be safe!

[@hangemhigh64lv]

It’s always better to err on the side of safety......especially traveling solo. Good call in my book.

[@lifedoo721]

The road is too steep, you did a great job!

[@Goodsxp]

Thanks for sharing. Why so few blooming wildflowers in the s.w. desert 2021 ?

[@maxrensberger9856]

Yep...great follow..see you lost both glasses n beard...like the Jeep into too.. food..spaghetti..just made some tonight..but when you poured it out ..I realized I need a larger trough..or plate..Colorado n Utah are two areas that seem to agree with you..so go do something fun today and thanks

[@woof3598]

just back from Moab and Escalate, never seen so many people, Ranger said it was the busiest weekend ever, first time we used BLM for a camp site and wasn't disappointed

[@bderris]

And that was Rose Garden Hill.

[@kamikazekunze]

And here I thought the Kokopelli trail was a,non motorized trail. Learn something new with every video Chris. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bderris]

You were on the Kokopelli trail

[@ricksandfort8836]

26:53 ... I'd camp the beejesus outa that spot...

☺️🤙🏻

[@troyallen5806]

The quality you put out is amazing! I love the pace and detail you put into it.

[@machall7862]

I’ve been following you for quite some time now. I look forward to seeing where you have been each week. There are two things I really appreciate about your videos: 1) complete reality/honesty. 2) No music. I love it that you don’t pollute your videos with music. The sound of nature is a treasure. Don’t get me wrong, I like music that is soothing and appropriate for the video. But some KZbinrs just over do it with loud, mind numbing noise. So, I just mute them or quit watching them. Anyway, you are doing a great job! THANK YOU!

[@steveec9704]

Should have went for it brah Matt's off road recovery would come pull you out that would be to funny lol

[@newbwheeler9777]

The 27:30 mark of your videos are me least favourite part…😣 This was a great episode! Felt a bit old school to me. Still boggles my mind that your not over 100k in subs. My favourite channel on KZbin for sure!🤟

[@oscrm1760]

Saludos desde PR , como haces si tienes una avería del Jeep y estas muchas millas adentro ò te quedas sin gasolina, veo que es mucha distancia las rutas que corres. Me encanta la manera de tus videos, y si todo los viajes los haces solo o siempre vas acompañado, muchas bendiciones y éxitos un suscriptor nuevo👍🏻👊🏻

[@Dwealdric]

Chris, we have the same culinary tastes, and the same idea of what constitutes "one portion". We can never travel together. We'd be dead within a week.

[@waldo9254]

At 12:21 he says, "I know what you're thinking...." I'm thinking, is he really not gonna slather a ton of ketchup on those dogs? He loves him some ketchup. He must have been tired.

[@josephremenar3117]

Great video. What’s the make on the collapsible pot that you used to make spaghetti? Thank you.

[@galensinkey]

Fantastic opening shot!! Love those rich textures and shapes of that wood. And good call at 5:30 -- steep loose rocky terrain like is for groups with multiple recovery options. Noting those epic campsites for my summer trip west.

[@JT-py9lv]

Need to get a ham radio and program the NOAA stations in for receiving weather

[@davidsmith-bh9vv]

What I really like about you is the fact my wife will drop everything to come watch with me. Best there is. Thanks

[@michaelsakowich7026]

Good job on building the campfire. Tinder, Kindling & Fuel

[@33R3X]

I don't know whether it's the cooking, the rain, the remarks on Orangy or the updated cam angles or the absolutely stunning greenery in the desert. But I felt like this is the best video you posted so far 😍

[@richardcooper38]

Amazing country and the videography summed it up nicely. From the camera angle at 4:40 +/- it looks like the passenger door almost got a modification. Keep up the fantastic videos!

[@marcoscustodio6255]

Hello, another great video. Thank. Is always good to getup in the morning and be graceful. Keep enjoying your life.

[@Colorado4x4Van]

Did you take the Rimrocker trail during this video?

[@marvlayson6604]

As always great photography. This episode I notice more audio detail in the small sounds,love it.

[@iguanapete3809]

You should post your GPS coords. Also if your alone carry a satellite emergency beacon.

[@overlandsubaruinternationa2378]

overland is to my idea is not to break to much stuff so you could do your trip longer : 6m14

[@GamerNxUSN]

Damn, you have a lot of haters for some reason, keep up the good work.

[@timmickles]

I started watching your channel when the pandemic started. I binged watched every episode. Now I’m hooked.

[@vince4316]

Welcome to the club!!

[@timmickles]

@Christine Ayres there’s no match to his content

[@happycamper1687]

why not use your Garmin for a weather forecast Chris?

[@niceguyeddy9229]

Oh no its Godzilla😀

[@HillbillyfromAL]

I don’t see one and if you don’t have one you really need a ham radio in your Jeep. Not only would it give you more reliable secondary communications, but the National service broadcast local weather on amateur radio frequencies all across the US. For example in Utah there are 17 broadcasting stations and in Colorado there are 29. Only using 7 different frequencies its easy to find a station nearby most of the time.

[@MatthewSeratti]

Great video. Fun, lighthearted, interesting, informative. This is the kind of story that made me subscribe in the first place.

[@jeremygalloway8034]

Chris, when will we see more of the van?? Your vlogs is what we look forward to ever weekend!!

[@biologistjim4905]

Do you have a link to the freestanding table we saw in this video?

[@BucksMom218]

Beautiful scenery! Thanks Chris! It is amazing to see such vastness...🥾🥾😊

[@nwpia]

You look much younger shaved.

[@beachbum200009]

Bert... he does!! Like it.

[@lyndadentry1833]

Such a great face I'll never understand why guys cover up their great looks🙃

[@nwpia]

@@lyndadentry1833 Take something so pure and so beautiful and complicating it to try to make it fit into somewhere that you think it should. I might have taken that a few steps to far but, yeah Lynda I agree with you.

[@notreallyme425]

I was critical of the video 2 weeks ago, thought it was “just ok.” Now this 20:20 is why I’m subscribed! Hope to follow this track one day. Well done!

[@MrFillefloe]

Get some mudflaps already :D

[@pattymiller2160]

Seriously

[@IntoTheWildernessWeGo]

Awesome video this week Chris! Loved some of the different camera angles! Look forward to seeing the tandem travel coming up and how you work that into the flow!

[@albeenamelast6620]

Hey nice shirt! Were did you get it?

[@brendabarrickman1030]

Love your channel. The scenery is beautiful. Have a great day 😀

[@rb30athorn]

Nothing crazy bout the decision not to climb that hill. That's the diffrence between day trip rock crawling with an expendable vehicle and overlanding with your home on wheels. Nice camera angles.

[@RideswithJustin]

What tires are you running?

[@tughoward]

Chris, another great video, thank you! Our family always loves sharing your adventures on Saturdays.

[@rustyharvey3481]

I’ve learned so much watching you I agree with the longer fuel tank I added one to my F2 50 I now have 60 gallons online with a 3 inch lift and I can go over 1000 miles easily and I never have to worry when I’m in the back country now about running out of fuel another awesome video this week this one was definitely one of my favorites Chris

[@darqnomad]

I had to laugh when you started making spaghetti. I’m eating the very same thing as I watch this video. I started full time overlanding in my 2020 Rubicon with Ursa Minor camper top about two months ago. Thanks for the inspiration. Best decision I’ve ever made.

[@physicalstarfighter2131]

I love spaghetti it’s easy to fix

[@nfdavis1]

What is that blue collapsible pot you use to boil water. It looks like rubber?

[@JeffDavis73]

It is called the Sea to Summit X Pot. Chris has a link to it in his Amazon store. Check the description of the video for that link. I want one too!!

[@glmaughan]

The A+ campsite with the south facing cliffs and the La Sals in the backdrop, I've camped there and you are right, it is a spectacular campsite.

[@the-vangs]

We have ran the trail some years back but from Fruita, CO. Enjoy your videos, hope to see you on our travels one day.

[@paulsinger5638]

Hey Chris, this is one of my favorite episodes and very inspiring. Now I have yet another place on my list that I have discovered from your channel. Keep up the great work and thank you.

[@kwmoore3464]

I recognized Rose Garden Hill in the video. I was there about 8 yrs ago, in a group of 9 vehicles & a dirt biker started up the hill while we were reconning the trail. He only went up about 100 feet & turned around & wished us luck. We had spotters & it made all the difference. The trail is rated about 8 most years & I still had damage to my Jeep, but we all made it. Personally, I think you made a wise choice to not go alone. It never makes sense to beat up your vehicle & possibly breakdown when you are that far away from any assistance.

[@straylineoutdoors5259]

Beautiful postcard views! Thank you for sharing.

[@MrGeroth]

I never met someone who hates bumps.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

LOOK MIGHTY HANDSOME YOUNG MAN ! BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS VIEWS SCENERY VIDEO WEATHER FOOTAGE LANDSCAPE ! LOVE THE JOURNEY ! CHRIS IS THAT A POT OR PAN MAKING THE NOISE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE ? THANK YOU ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 🙏 ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Beautiful! Beautiful country! That panoramic view at 16:20 was phenomenal. You needed more spaghetti on your plate, Chris. My comfort food...just made a huge pot of it this afternoon. I love heating it up throughout the week. I mix it up with Trader Joe's microwave meals especially the Indian cuisine such as Tikka Marsala Chicken, curried dishes.

[@oldironoverland2007]

Good call on bailing with Rose Garden Hill. Trying to go up that solo when it's wet would have put you in a bad spot.

[@viviansimons7954]

shave has taken years off you lol

[@johnmccaffery5186]

Chris has gone gourmet on us this week! “Pure spinach goodness“

[@jalilburdeen8698]

Ahh Rose Garden Hill. Super technical and remote. Came down it once, not back up! Good stuff Chris.

[@captseamus]

Is V2E1 just a memory?

[@richardgroves5559]

Another Great video Chris. I particularly enjoyed the additional Jeep action camera placements.

[@thrivingnow7843]

You videography skills captures the crystal clear vivid colors of the quiet landscapes that make me want more. 🌵🏜️☀️

[@obedevert28]

I was wondering if I was watching venture4wd or some other channel.

[@bernardcarpenter6949]

Hello Chris. Love the new camera angles. As always thanks for sharing. See you next week buddy.

[@buckbuchanan5849]

Buy a Garmin inReach, then you’d have ability to obtain your weather real-time, off grid with satellite

[@michaelstevens655]

Thank you Chris for sharing not only your dream but ours as well.

[@ColoradoAdventureClub]

You are on part of the Kokopelli Trail and that hill climb there is called Rose Garden Hill. Absolutely beautiful trail!

[@grizzbuck]

You are like watching "Mr. Rogers and his adventures with Orangie". I have seen every one of your videos, followed you for years, enjoyed your content & effort you put into each video, and anxiously look forward to each & every upcoming video. Thank you.

[@peterxtrahan]

Beautiful landscape views and great cinematography. When youtube overlanders team up with other YT overlanders something of the uniquely personal format is diminished. Glad your back on your own. Looking forward to seeing tandem travel with Shannon. “Keep on tracking!”

[@llewellyntoth5505]

Does anyone else wonder what that Jeep smells like?😁

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

The countryside there is just gorgeous you don't get that up here in Canada that kind of train but it was a good journey looking forward to your next one. 👍👍😀🇨🇦🔥☕

[@brianholle1754]

My brother and I were at the base of the Henry mountains when that storm came through on Monday night. Cloud, windy and sleet. But it was a great week out there

[@pattymiller2160]

I love the Henry Mtns

[@tp092245]

I like those camera angles on Orangie this week.

[@derrick1964]

So.....will we officially be introduced to Shannon?

[@pawadventures5544]

Next time your with a group try their different tire gauges to see which is more accurate the Jeep dash gauge or the hand gauge. Worst case scenario is that everyone's gauge is off. LOL! Good video. 👍🏻

[@joshuamclean6564]

I'm looking forward to future videos where you will incorporate your soon to be wife and children. Its been great watching you evolve over the years. Thank you.

[@peter_reinhardt]

The close shave suits you fine, Chris. Take years of. I wonder what that "sproing" sound is when the Jeep is rocking a bit?

[@robertrhode6104]

Thanks Chris. I can’t wait for the adventure ahead. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob

[@mackbooker8368]

Beautiful scenery this week! I was wondering how the pneumatic sway bar disconnect was working for you… Thanks

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@qianwang9590]

Chris plus Utah a great match. Looking forward to seeing the tandem next week.
