Maaan, this is a beautiful little story packed into a beautiful edit. I also like the voiceover. Not saying vloggingstyle is bad but this had something of a movie or a documentary. Super sweet.
The scene at night...brought back memories in a campervan in Iceland. Don't think I slept for 5 days. Beyond gale force winds. Never again! I like the voice over. Stunning a visuals as always.
I really enjoyed the voiceover. It really made your video stand out and had a "fresh" feel to it. I appreciate that I was watching you tell a story. Great video!
I actually really enjoyed the VO!!! Great video guys! All that food looked scrumptious, and good on y'all for waking up and continuing to shoot all that video the day after no sleep.
HAHAHAHA...... About the Rookie mistake..... LMAO!!! I know about this, and yes, damn it gets windy...... The place is so Beautiful...... I got the pick of Mt. Whitney through the Lathe Arch mid day, and it came out sweet
Agreed. The Alabama Hills is an amazing landscape, and ten minutes from civilization - for better or worse. Just know that it is more often windy than calm, so plan ahead. I've been there twice based solely on having the time to go, but both times the winds were higher than I would have preferred. Since then, I've checked the weather and now I've racked up a greater number of times that I didn't go based on weather, than I have been there. Choose your trip wisely. If you roll the dice, the house (nature) will win. It's always slightly gusty even on calm days, so if you see any forecast with days below 10 mph, that's when you load up and roll.
Had the same thing happen about a year ago in October. I met a friend at Tuttle Creek campground. He got there the night before and the weather was perfect. He slept outside on a cot. The next day I got there. The ranger came through that afternoon warning everyone there was a "Blow" coming. Weather at that time was still so great that we were skeptical. Sure enough, just about sunset the wind came up and never stopped. We tried to sleep in our vehicles. That was a very long, sleepless night. The next day was just as bad. Wound up at Micky D's in Lone Pine for breakfast before we hit the road.
the cinematography combined with the sincere character of you two (that you also show on film) will make this channel a definite success. BTW, loved the voice over format!
I get really excited every time I see you guys have posted a new video. It´s the highlight of my Monday - for sure! Loving the music choices, filming, scenery, everything!
There are some nice hiding spots and away from the Graboids! Oh did you know this is where the Tremors series was filmed! Great movie museum in Lone Pine. A lot of westerns and more modern films shot in the area. We camped out there last February on our way to Death Valley. And check out the road into the mountains - you can see Mt. Whitney (hope this is right) the highest mountain in the lower 48. We unfortunately didn't get any graboids on film. The tremors were later in the spring.
The minutes I receive that notification and I click like before I watch the video. I already know the video is gonna look good and fun to watch from CODY & Victoria :) big fan
Amazing video, guys! Very inspiring and beautiful! To be honest, I love your videos, now more then before, in this formula with Viky more active. Everything is perfect, you both, the story, the landscapes, colours, all package. Amazing!
I love camping in Alabama Hills but you are right abut the wind. I bought a new camp chair with an umbrella because I was there in Mid April and the sun was intense. Got it all set up, arranged the perfect angle so I could sit tan my legs a bit and read a new book with a glass of wine. Well that lasted about 30 minutes when I got up for a refill. Next thing I knew my chair was rolling thru my campsite and my handy dandy umbrella broke...ugh!
I was in AH last year around March and it was super cold and windy as well. The ultimate trick is to find a site situated behind some rocks in the direction the wind is coming from. That was our saving grace.
I was there a couple of weeks ago. We rolled in after dark, tried to set up our tent when the wind blew it over and were said f- this and grabbed a hotel. Lol. We came back in the morning, when the winds died down and had an awesome time.
Have been binge watching your channel for the last couple of days. Love what you guys are doing! And I also love the voice over in this video. It brings an extra depth to an already very scenic visual story. Nice job!
I stumbled upon you two. My days of backpacking are gone, never was a climber, but always thought it was cool. Have watched 5-6 of your videos. Gotta love you guys. You make great interesting videos and make me chuckle alot. Keep it going.
Dudes!!! You are tuff stuff. Making the best of a ruff situation, You managed to turn Pig Sh*t into a Pig! Love Victoria's cooking (well watching... not eating... wishing). Feel your pain. My wife and I have been on a number of trips where weather has not been friendly. Glad you were able to make the most of it. Keep the posts coming.
Although it appeared miserable, its nice that you still showed the trip and footage proving that camping in beautiful places isn't always roses. I had a similar experience along the shores of lake Superior once not a fun time at all! Cheers!
The best time for Alabama Hills is late April and May, lots of snow on the high peaks and lush green vegetation everywhere. But most importantly, little wind and no haze!
From my first trip to Owens Valley in 1999 to now, wind or "W" has always been a consistent acquaintance. If you take the tour of Manzanar there is a recording of a female internee who states something along the lines of..."then there was the wind, always the wind." This is permanently ingrained in my synapses. Another reason I am happy sleeping in the back of my truck under the shell. No tent flapping or extraneous noises. The flippac was horrible, then the FWC which was much better but in high wind conditions but downsizing to an aluminum truck shell was where I should have started. Live and learn. W does keep the bugs at bay...so there's that. Sadly after so many people are getting outside the masses have discovered the Alabama Hills and regulations may be in the future. People sadly can't be responsible and clean up after themselves.
Its hard to find a good time of the year to go there. Its either SUPER hot and windy, or SUPER cold and windy. There are a couple really awesome camp spots though, but you have to drive do a little wheeling to get there! While you're at bama hills, you should also take a 10 minute drive from there up to whitney portal to see some epic trees and waterfalls. Love your channel. Im sure we will run into you guys at some point on the road soon!
I had no idea that this place is usually windy lol I just thought it looked super unique and beautiful! We plan on going back there and hiking Mt Whitney some day☺️ thanks for watching us 🙏 -V
Just camped at Alabama Hills last week, best weather I could have asked for and no wind, I guess I was lucky. Loved it, highly recommend, just check the weather forecast
I know you two didn't have the best time, but I wanted to thank you for sharing the trip anyways. Been a subscriber for a bit, but really enjoyed the voice overs and everything else. The wife and I are going through a bit of a low spot right now, just with covid, little friends and family interactions and this really hit me in a way that reminds me how easy it would be for us to get out and about, just the two of us. Though, we know how miserable a windy night in the RTT can be, ugh! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures and keeping the stoke alive for getting out and about with the person you love.
I absolutely love this video series, it makes me want to travel again so much. I just wanted to say, your editing and colour grading is incredible - honestly you are killing it.
Nothing worse than a windy night. I've had to close the tent and sleep in the truck for the same reason. Also great job on the lead climbs! I'd love to get out that way for some climbing. Looks like a blast!
Haha I had a similar experience only a few months ago when we went camping. We had to canoe to our site. It was fine getting there, but the next day it was raining HARD and it went on for exactly 24hrs. On top of that, we had to canoe out into mainland in huge waves with our camera gear. It was so hard and scary. Having rocks on the shore didn't help. Took us nearly an hour just to get into the canoe and out. Later that night, we experienced 60km/h winds. Turned out that there was a tornado warning just outside our area :) that was a joy to hear
Such a good video!!! I camped at Congaree National Park in South Carolina a few days ago, it's just a short hike to the campground but it was SO WINDY!!! And then on top of the wind, it rained 😂 but I still had a ton of fun hiking and camping.
Had a similar experience in Moab....thought the tent was going to become airborne.. .who truly sleeps when your walls are nylon and a wind is attacking your very existence......ahh....the desert and the wind... ...
Totally agree about the wind, when we first started camping it never even entered my head, i was so caught up worrying about the rain ( we are from the UK) and the cold, and then that one day that changed my thinking about not checking the weather when the winds came and broke our poles and ripped our canopy off..................................... wind speed is the first thing i check now. Loving your videos lately, they're like mini movies.
This was my exact experience camping at Alabama Hills last year. I was a first time camper in a huge cabin tent, haha. It was the worst camping experience ever. I can look back now and laugh about it all. I learned so much from that trip. Thanks for sharing your experience!
We camped there a few years back in March - wind wasn’t bad, but it was really, really cold! We still enjoyed it, but it helped to be inside our trailer.
Wow even your bad trips are just amazing I wanna do something like this with my girlfriend. Please keep posting these videos you make my day. God bless you both :)
Added the Jackery 1000 to my kit this summer too. Game changer. Simple and efficient. So far only have one solar panel and it's been enough for weekend warrioring. It's nice to have cold stuff in the Jeep/truck when you get back to the trailhead after a backpack. New to your channel. Will subscribe and keep watching. I liked the voice over too. Cheers. ✌🏽
Hi! Beautiful video. Loved the VO and the footage, the yummy food, well and everything how you put it together! And I know Im wasn't there feeling miserable with all the wind, , but it looks like an awesome trip to me. Definitely want to check out the Alabama Hills, but for sure we'll check out the weather. Although I have the feeling that it must be windy almost always up there. Don't know. New sub and friend here! Blessings and greetings from San Diego! 🤗
Bummer about the wind but you guys did your usual awesome job with the cameras and turns out you both have solid voices for voice over stuff. Do more of that!
Yo guys! You'll probably never read this, but what type of camera/lens do you use? I film my entire TH-cam channel w/ a GoPro Hero 8... looking to upgrade soon lol. If you happen to be around in the spring, I'm driving the truck house cabin down from Alaska to do some overlanding in your neck of the woods:)
I'm convinced wind is worse than rain or snow! 😣 Never again! Oh.. and...Help us out by Subscribing to the channel 😊 Thanks for watching everyone.
Agreed. Wind kills the Spirit
Agreed. Wind leaves me feeling drained and just beat up, personally.
I realize Im kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Nicolas Jax Lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Beckham Kellan yea, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)
The voiceover vibe really worked in your favor. I like this a lot! You guys should consider doing it more. :)
Considered. 🤪

Agreed. Feels more like a story.

Cody, your videos are so good. Loving the change in the channel being yours and Victoria's.
I wouldn't say this was a bad trip, it looked as lot of fun, fantastic menu, astonishing footage, very entertaining, just great.
I actually really enjoyed the VO!!! Great video guys! All that food looked scrumptious, and good on y'all for waking up and continuing to shoot all that video the day after no sleep.
HAHAHAHA...... About the Rookie mistake..... LMAO!!! I know about this, and yes, damn it gets windy...... The place is so Beautiful...... I got the pick of Mt. Whitney through the Lathe Arch mid day, and it came out sweet
The voice over with the small live bits of voice, and the, as usual beautifly chosen music was a real joy to watch.
Agreed. The Alabama Hills is an amazing landscape, and ten minutes from civilization - for better or worse. Just know that it is more often windy than calm, so plan ahead. I've been there twice based solely on having the time to go, but both times the winds were higher than I would have preferred.

I watch all your videos. They make me happy. Keep it up. They give me hope when it feels like the world is burning down.
Like this version a lot. mixture of voice over and onset audio. Always enjoy your content. Superb...

First time watching one of you guys video! This was epic...the voiceovers, the shots, the music! on POINT!!
Preciate it!! 🙏🏼

Awesome Claude Debussy music at the ending there😃👍

I love that you guys have a Frontier and not a Toyota or Jeep. Awesome video, great work!

Really enjoy the small cooking bits in the video! Thanks!
With your storytelling and overlanding trips, your channel is becoming one of my favorites. 🕺
That's awesome man. Stoked to hear it!
C
@4:30 I camped at that same exact spot last month..did some quail hunting down the fields opposite of those rock formation. cool spot!
Pretty , pretty good, the duo voice over ! It bring something more to the narrative. Keep it up!!!
Although it appeared miserable, its nice that you still showed the trip and footage proving that camping in beautiful places isn't always roses. I had a similar experience along the shores of lake Superior once not a fun time at all! Cheers!
I love your videos. They give me a refreshing nature break inside all the urban craziness around me. plus I love the channel's new name!

What was those voice overs! Killed guys. Hope the next awesome trip arrive soon. ❤️
I’m literally planning a trip up there for this weekend. Definitely checking the weather. Awesome quality guys!!!

Love the voice over vibe! Beautiful video, I love Alabama Hills (when it's not windy, of course).
That looked like a pretty good trip to me. Any day . Best!
Great video guys! Each video you guys put out has so much quality 👌👌👌
The voice over added a new element to your vibes
When we camped in Mammoth in June we had a 50mph night that totaled our tent! Woke up at 4:00am to broken poles.
Nice experience...those rocky mountain are awesome!
Amazing views, amazing story, amazing video, everything about this was amazing!
Love the new format and the production value is always so clean!
That roof tent is pure dope-age !! Love how it's soooo high off the ground. Really loved the voiceovers too. Another cool vid from the "Blues" ! :-)
Thanks for the dinner idea, my husband and I are always looking for more camping meal ideas!
Had a similar experience in Moab....thought the tent was going to become airborne.. .who truly sleeps when your walls are nylon and a wind is attacking your very existence......ahh....the desert and the wind... ...
Excellent video guys! Actually sorta enjoyed the VoiceOver. Keep making these
Really nice video guys! Loved the V.O. and color, and looks like a beautiful location. Thanks for sharing!
Another great one guys! Keep it up :) Wind always makes things a challenge. It's all part of the adventure! haha

those videos keep getting better each time. the quality of production and story telling is really, really high up there!

Didn't plan on doing narrative style on this one but I guess it worked out 😅
Added the Jackery 1000 to my kit this summer too. Game changer. Simple and efficient. So far only have one solar panel and it's been enough for weekend warrioring.

Hey check out Coyote Flats (outside of Bishop). Awesome overlanding experience for us up there. The view of the Palisade glacier is really beautiful!
Soooo good, guys! Really enjoyed watching! Thank you! 👍
Look into replacing all of your zippers! Help a lot with the annoying noise brought on by high winds.

Sony a7iii and 24-105 mostly! 🙌🏼

Super well made, inspirational, and motivational. Getting my @$$ out there soon!
Get out there!!!! You won't regret it☺️

I always love your videos it never fails to amaze me
Wow Jackery has given a bunch of those away. Every channel is like wow these are so great lmao
Yeah we were sincerely impressed with it☺️
