Winter Truck Camping in the American Southwest

[@agentorange1556]

Anyone else notice there’s no more “WOOOOOOOOOO” after a sip of coffee?

[@bleuskye8124]

I do miss it. 😂

[@southerngal7899]

I was wondering why. Beautiful scenery. Those rock formations are so pretty.

[@JonathanYentch]

It’s an internal woo now 🙂

[@milesj179]

Now watch him do it in his next video & try to pretend your comment was never here. If not the next video, then the video after that. But I’ll be watching & waiting for him to slip up & do it. Then I’ll call him out in the comment section on it. 🤦🏾

Really enjoying these adventures. I saw another creator rig an indoor tent over their sleeping area with some rope and a utility moving blanket for added warmth. ☺

[@Stimiejwh]

Simply gorgeous. Living east of the Mississippi river, this is probably the only way I'll ever be able to experience it. Thanks Johnathan. Another great video.

[@missroxanne7123]

Awwwww….Kya definitely loves the hiking better. Look at her living her best life with her bestie. ❤

[@bootstrappedfriend1752]

Welcome to Utah, I've driven many of those backroads. 4Lo is definitely called for. Otherwise you'll burn up your clutch! Or worse Glad you're safe.❤

[@JonathanYentch]

Facts! Found a way to shift into it now though so I’ve been utilizing it lately.

[@dougtodd305]

4 hi is for snow,low is for steep trails. Get maps ,they may not offer them next time.

[@mariannlyda9509]

The scenery was beautiful. Now I'm yearning for a trip to Utah!

[@JonathanYentch]

It's a beautiful state!

[@Lisforpeace71]

Another Yentch Sunday 🎉❤😊 Happy Birthday Kaia!

[@susans8539]

Zion! One of my most fav parks. Love the vid, it had a little of everything, e.g., 4 wheeling, hiking, camping, and scenic driving. Thx Jonathan!😊

[@TheVelvetLoungeLife]

Yes, and thank you for that Jon😅😂

[@bobbituka123]

Miss the old “rock the status quo…..” sign off.

[@marilynpodoll3278]

Turns out to be one of your best videos yet. Thanks for the drive.

[@MariaVargas-yu1tt]

Nice video on the new camera. Wise decision on avoiding unknown trails if not equipped. Lovely day out there. Thank you. Happy 1 yr doggie.

[@juanfigueroa69]

Thanks for the video. Loved it

[@AlexialexisD]

happy birthday Kaya 🎉🐕❤

[@gamelancer-mashup]

As you were going up that small hill at the 10:40 mark, I got a little scared. Reminded me of a dream I once had where I was in a vehicle that fell down a cliff lol.

[@MrfiX725]

HAPPY NAME DAY, KAIA!!! That river side campsite was AWESOME!!!

[@RubenFue01]

Prime upload time as I sit in my van with the pup on this Sunday morning!

[@JonathanYentch]

Perfect spot to watch 🤠

[@rudyhachey7440]

Hi again, well that off road excursion pretty tense. otherwise the ride through Zion pretty spectular. Much enjoyed, and Happy one year old Kaya, enjoyed her being vocal while camping next to the river....

[@bleuskye8124]

What a beautiful video . From Kaia to the scenery. And of course Jon always makes me laugh. Always trying new adventures. 😂. Loved the music also. Happy Birthday to Kaia. 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@Bombproofproductions]

Can’t help but to think you need a pop up camper. Something light weight yet livable. The Tune M1 would be perfect

[@ConnorLee]

Don't underestimate those first gen Tacomas! Laughed at your 4lo situation. Don't know until you know haha. Happy travels bud!

[@JonathanYentch]

The 1st gen taco is a ripper, even stock ngl! I've been hitting more intense trails since this video and have been blown away by its capabilities - I did figure out a way to switch into 4Lo which has helped eons haha. Cheers!

[@marthabradas8873]

Thanks for the awesome tour of the park, and happy birthday to your sweet pup! You kinda had me nervous with the off road drive 😃 beautiful videography!

[@AlexRodri27]

Hey that’s my backyard! Hope you’re having a great time down here!

[@CamperCruzin]

I missed the sponsored part of you’re videos. I’m glad companies watch your stuff and support. Big fan man

[@dominicperez3207]

Happy birthday Kaya

[@schassis_eddi]

Yeah you should leave a review on that trail. That’s definitely a blue / intermediate trail! My truck camper I take on green trails because they’re graded maintained roads. What you hit i wouldn’t take my truck camper out on

[@JonathanYentch]

The recent trail reports actually did mention that the rating should be higher now. I didn't see those trail reports until afterwards haha.

[@Simple_man_65]

Check the fuses for power plugs.

[@edwil111]

Zion was crazy crowded last late Sept when I went thru it. I had to leave! Went to St George. Dinosaur tracks museum there is cool.

[@pattin4015]

Your videos make it feel almost as if I am there. Beautiful place!

[@pemalama23]

The drive through the park featuring that dash bc of the not so friendly dog rules was so smart. Music choice was perfect as well lol. Fire vid. Just wished you keep a fishing rod ready for a couple casts 😅

[@Ezrabastian]

Southwestern sunlight looks good on you, welcome 🏜

[@valeriefrench9405]

Shes so well behaved. Can’t believe she’s one already. Happy Birthday Kaya. I just got a puppy he’s 4 1/2 mos old. Can’t wait till hes one. Lol

[@1jackvalley580]

Kaia looks Soooo Cute, Her one floppy ear Is the Sweetest. Happy 1st Birthday Precious Kaia. Loving your Vids ❤❤🐾🙏🙏

[@xcracer311]

if you have the TRD rear locker in that truck you really don't need any mods, a rear locker helps a lot and move that cupholder so you can use low range. if not find a locker on marketplace hands down the best mod for the money.

[@canineoverlandingnz]

I'm from nz and swear by westpaw! They have the best products for pups that like to chew, my collie loves their products so much

[@JonathanYentch]

Great experience so far!

[@jameskim62]

Great, you fix the Cig plug. Check if there is a separate fuse for the other Cig plugs !!!!~~~~

[@ConlonKiffneyPhoto]

My adventure dogs name is kyah, she is 16 turning 17 and I hope her name lives on with you and your dogs adventures. Our little 16 year old has been all over the US, from washington to arizona, colorado, califronia, montana, utah etc. Take every moment you can with your pup, she looks very sweet and adventurous. all the best to you guys! Stay safe and have fun:)

[@17363]

Kaya keeps thinking, “why does my human talk to himself all of the time?”

[@justmeandtheDogg]

Lol

[@jaystewart9947]

I would definitely consider a DC to DC charger for your portable power station. Bluetti has the Charger 1 on sale with extra cables for $250. Yes, that’s spicy on price but well worth it in the long run. It will charge other brands of power stations as well. You’ll find that on average you’ll be able to charge 5x faster than the cigarette socket plug.

[@johnandargiesadventures4203]

Great Adventure, We've been wanting to go to Utah for a long time, I know it will be an AWesome trip, We also have a Gen 1 Tacoma all set up for adventures, Rack on top of canopy with awning and storage boxes, and the canopy is all set up for camping out of, we went to Leslie Gulch in Sept. and zig zagged down through central Oregon partially following John Day River,It's a fun way to travel. I like that dash cam, going to check into it. Have Fun on that adventure!

[@kevinwhite1077]

nice video keep them coming love from the uk

[@MericanAdventures]

Zion is packed in the winter because it's 900 degrees in the summer! Spring, Fall, and Winter in that order is when Zion is best to visit.

[@JonathanYentch]

Very true. Summer is brutal in the SW

[@jldrumm]

Happy birthday, lil pup! 🎉

[@b0daddie]

Hi Jon! Hope you're doing well! You should definitely make it out to CO before the summer.

[@JonathanYentch]

Would love to! Haven’t explored around CO nearly enough

[@davidbaron6647]

Happy Birthday Kaia, Love 4WD , Nice Video Have a wonderful week

[@JonathanYentch]

Me too! Thanks for watching, have a great week, David.

Happy birthday Kia......love her ears..that road..not good..l was scared watching you

[@290liab]

Scenery is amazing Glad you are bback

[@simonKagree]

I was casting about for some way to entertain my nephew's dog when he came to visit, and found an old, worn-out pair of Skechers work shoes. They don't bounce like a ball, but they make great chew toys. Probably something you don't want to teach a dog to chew on if you have your own dog, though. You should definitely get that compressor. Even if you don't need one that often yourself, you could be the hero of someone less prepared on the off-road.

[@worklessenjoylifemore]

Dude let’s collab! I been a fan since the Slumber Queen days!!

[@outlandharry]

Yes! I love this idea! I watch both your channels and this would make my day! I hope he reaches out to you!

[@sheilacaine]

Beautiful

[@hayleyjones6302]

Great vid Johnathan.

[@JonathanYentch]

thanks for watching!

[@RM_Garage]

Careful with the ball joints on the Taco 😅 Also, look at an ARB on-board single or twin compressor, or if you want a portable one, the Viair units are pretty decent. They fill up 38's on my fzj80.

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Time sure is fun when you're having flies!!! That's what Kermit says 😂!

[@magnoliabrownwilson917]

Beautiful scenes

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@raisethe3]

Happy birthday Kaya. Great scenic view!

[@JonnyDIY]

3:45 lol I thought that was a pomegranate or something 🤣💕👍 Thanks for taking us along. Great video. Woah that trail was crazy with no 4lo and not aired down! I was like "I hope he aired down" 😆

[@useritscarrot]

You could have burnt the wire behind the port going to the battery. Check the grounds and connections.

[@Foodmeow]

You can hit any trail with any car depending on your driving skill and capabilities

[@JonathanYentch]

True - and your willingness to bang up your vehicle haha.

[@tripresidue]

Awesome vid.

[@dennisdrewry5625]

Another great video. Catch some fish on one of these trips. Size 14 perdigons

[@JonathanYentch]

I’ve got my gear with me!

[@Jeremy-hg5vl]

Hey Jonathan, you head through Vegas stop by. Can recharge,stock up, whatever you need. Keep up the great content

[@Lisa-iz7fr]

Its a burn out fues very cheap and easy to fix. I had the same issue with both my lighter chargers in my car.

[@patshankle3281]

Wow epic scenery. So Beautiful. Hopefully you are still traveling and enjoying your videos. Safe Travels. Happy 1 yr Birthday Kya. 👋🎉🎈🎊🎂

[@JonathanYentch]

We’re still out here! Thanks for watching

[@rowbradley]

A 4 rated trail is getting up there in technical off-road tracks! I do think the waterfall is nice further up the road. If you're still in the area, check out upper Kolob canyon! those views are incredible. I like the ratings defined by Trails Off Road, which map pretty well to OnX: 1. Easy (1-2): Suitable for high-clearance 2WD vehicles. Expect dirt or rocky roads with obstacles up to 9 inches, such as small rocks, dips, or ruts. 2. Moderate (3-4): Best for high-clearance 4x4s. Trails may have rocks or uneven surfaces with obstacles up to 18 inches, including ledges and water crossings. Careful tire placement is necessary. 3. Difficult (5-6): Suited for lightly modified 4x4s with features like small lifts and larger tires. Challenges include obstacles up to 3 feet, requiring precise navigation. Skid plates, rock sliders, lockers, and winches are recommended. 4. Severe (7-8): Intended for highly modified 4x4s with maximum ground clearance and excellent articulation. Obstacles can reach up to 7 feet, with near-vertical grades. Equipment like large tires, rollover protection, and spare parts are essential due to the high risk of vehicle damage and rollovers.

[@JonathanYentch]

This is a great rating scale!

[@cliffordsmithey464]

One of the things about having the four-wheel drive if you can go flying campsites the other people can't get to

[@Pgd10020]

Good job yentchy

[@upperleftnorthwest4278]

Those stock wheels look like they rolled down the hill into a land cruiser one time iykyk

[@jamespazera3038]

Very cool❤

[@cohshow]

Woah dude! My girlfriend and I just moved to southern Utah and specifically like 15 minutes from most of the areas that you were at in this video. I just bought a 1990 Toyota Odyssey 4x4 RV that I’ll be renovating soon, but I can drive out to a lot of the areas you did to camp. I definitely wouldn’t be hitting up that Toquerville trail it looks like haha, but awesome to see you exploring the area around here it’s like a different planet out here. If you’re ever back out here in the near future there’s a good chance you’d see my old (but badass) Toyota RV out and about

[@isaacturnerit]

Watching the video now. Just seen your Ad. Just fyi I recently did an integration with them and they aren’t paying me. Hope it works out different for you.

[@JonathanYentch]

Oh man, sorry to hear that's happening. Really hoping they pay you - and me, ha!

[@sk8boyluis]

Check if there's more then 1 fuse for the cigarette lighter. There might be another fuse or relay under the hood related to the power outlet port or key switch power.

[@michaelmiller6062]

Dude… if you don’t woooo for us after the first sip, it’s over! 😂

[@BusyTimes-c7c]

Does Kya have a rattlesnake vaccine? Always a good idea when traveling in those parts. Though, i guess this time of year they're dormant..

[@claramullen]

Have you checked your fuses for those charging ports. That would be a easy fix.

[@KHA107]

If you get stuck, just call matts offroad recovery 😂

[@davidpitts1976]

First of all , I really like your channel. Please forgive me but I had to laugh about the 4 wheeling part. That trail is definitely only a four. Come on down to Bullfrog UT and I'll take you for a ride in my 2007 FJ Cruiser!

[@Subieadventures]

Views should be going through the roof with the TikTok ban .. keep killing it Another awesome adventure

[@JonathanYentch]

Hopefully! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@Subieadventures]

@ been here since the car camping my dude . Keep creating awesome content. Won’t lie miss the woooooo with that first sip 😂

[@janetstanton5604]

The ban is over.

[@pamelao9803]

Beautiful scenery - thanks so much for sharing. Love the sunshine- I am in NJ and currently watching the snow come down in our latest storm. Do you think you will get another camper anytime soon? Happy birthday to Kaia, she seems very well behaved for her age.

[@timwagner9170]

I think it’s funny/ironic that you couldn’t get to your 4low lock-in. !

[@tmusa2002]

I have several West Paw products that are super durable. Very high quality brand.

[@JonathanYentch]

💯

[@Eric-lj2nk]

So I am in a mostly stock Tacoma and I don’t usually go any harder than a 3-4/10. It starts getting more aggressive than I want to push my daily driver taco lol.

[@jiggsjohnson7279]

Dude, you need 4-low in a 4 cylinder Toyota. Remove the cup holder so you can use it. Even though those 4 bangers are kind of gutless on the highway, 4-low will let you crawl that thing anywhere.

[@dta97392]

Think I missed it ? Were in s Utah are you set up? I may like to adventure there 😁

[@JonathanYentch]

This was mostly around the Hurricane/St George area. Outside of Zion NP

[@Jaypher]

lmao the absolute troll move to cover the solar panels by laying next to them.

[@JonathanYentch]

For real! She was definitely trolling me

[@hodad200]

Dude come on move the table and shift into 4Lo!

[@RobBrown2288]

My Jack Russell would completely destroy any “indestructible” dog toy within minutes. We used racket balls for him to fetch. Never destroyed a single one over 17 years. Lost, permanently and temporarily, many, but never killed one.

[@Star_Gazing_Coffee_Lover]

Id do this in a NY minute, only thing holding me back is daily showers. I have to shower each day or I can't function.

[@JonathanYentch]

There are ways on the road! I don’t take advantage of them 😆

[@panmurgrabia7473]

Have you ever thought about giving away a small caravan like the slim potato head has? could significantly improve your quality of life. Best regards, happy camping😊

[@bajar.m.6953]

You need a Pecron 500 to charge your unit, up to 500 watts, it will take minutes to charge it.

[@JonathanYentch]

I’ll have to look into it!

[@Wooogie60]

Which river is that?

[@1jackvalley580]

Can't you replace the wiring Instead of a possibility of It becoming a problem again

[@marym.tucker3824]

So what happened with your truck& camper?

[@Jay-is2jy]

He sold it several videos back....

[@JonathanYentch]

[@TheVelvetLoungeLife]

Dogs are considered to still be puppies until they're 2 years old.

[@kathynichols6602]

I am taking my time getting gear I may need when I take my first SUV camping trip in spring. Your videos have given a lot of good ideas. Did you have to pay for the campsite in Utah? What aite do you use to find campsites or free campsite?

[@kathynichols6602]

What site…
