Commented before, but just gotta say; it's 12:30am, you're in a middle of a snow and weather alert and you decide to ruck up and camp for maybe 3 hours, cook breakfast, and still get up to go work!?? EPIC!!!!!! Shout from Iowa
It’s 1:30 a.m . New subscriber to this Channel and can’t get enough. While the City sleeps & snuggle in warm beds , Chris packed up and goes camping out at midnight in the snow ❄️❄️❄️ Hats 🎩🎩 off !!!!! He is the pure living proof of living each day @ it’s best ,, loving what you do . keep hiking 🥾🥾
Man is 4:43am here in Vegas, I’m having a marathon of your videos, this specially is so important because your energy and happiness when you enjoy doing that is amazing!! you have coating me with good vibes. God bless u man
🇬🇧 What a crazy mad mental thing to do but wonderful too! I love being out in the snow & especially at night time when it has a special kind of light about. It looks so pretty from up on your ridge with the twinkling lights laid out below you. It does your spirit & psyche good to do things like this, something out of the ordinary & being one with the elements. Id definitely love to do this! Thanks Chris Peace & Good Cheer 🇬🇧🙋
🇨🇦☃️love this! In London Ontario we have a river running through the city. You see the camps along the river in the wilderness. Years ago in winter a homeless guy and dog we standing out. I asked him what he needed. He said a tent. I gave him one but till these winter camping videos I did not know you can camp in winter. Now we have london cares that houses folks and their loved animal companions. Cheers Chris.
Ever since I found your channel several weeks ago, I've been watching your videos daily. This particular adventure of yours...😂...I laughed a lot, and when I wasn't laughing, I was smiling.😄 The thought of leaving at 12:30 at night to go camp above your neighborhood...🤣...with that snow...😆.... Needless to say, I loved this video! You just crack me up, Chris. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us, even if you're just a few blocks from home. 😂
I’m catching this one a year later. Chris is a true adventure warrior! Love the channel and the content. U remind me of Les Stroud, showing your misfortunes and still prevailing. Love it!! 😁👍👍🇺🇸
Just want to say I love your videos, journeys, adventures, foods and stories and it brings great joy and peace to me. Lots of respect to you for all the hardwork and effort you put into your videos. Thank you so much for bringing the great videos and contents for us. Stay safe. Keep hiking Chris!
WOW you are some adventurer,kudos to you,man,for doing all this in the middle of the night! Not to mention it being frigid outside, and having no heat source in your tent!!! You are one brave soul,guy!!! Enjoyed watching👍🏻😀
I don't get to camp as much as I want to because I am a Truck Driver and I'm on the road alot, but getting to live vicariously through you is a blast. Keep it up.
When I was driving semi, I felt like I was camping every day in an RV style. I felt like my little bunk compartment was my own genie bottle. I felt so free❤
Human civilization is doing quite well for itself when an adult can act out his childhood fantasy. To all those negative people out there, this video is proof that we are doing okay.
Yes there is way to many negative ppl out there spreading their negativity . I don’t hang out with ppl like that . They’ll just bring you down to their level . I hang around up beat positive ppl with positive attitudes spreading love and kindness every where
Human civilisation is a broad stroke, plenty of people who aren’t doing well... all this proves is that this guy is doing well.. but hey, whatever makes you feel better..
I love to camp and adventure but, Idk if I would have done this! I was watching from inside my house with the fire burning lol! I do love watching your videos Chris. Keep Hiking! Thanks for sharing!
When I served in the US Army, we did several training exercises, sometimes for a couple of weeks at the time, in the middle of winter in Germany. It wasn't fun. This video reminds me of that time.
I agree, coffee is definitely essential. I can go without it but starting the day with a nice warm cup of coffee is a great way to get the day going. You get a boost of energy and it's actually healthy for you! Reducing the risk for cardio vascular illnesses, liver illnesses, depression, cancer, just overall helping you live longer and I love it.
You did really well. You know you're alive when you're out of the comfort zone eh! If anyone deserves a two day hot bath/sauna, that's you man! Subbed!
I get the idea that Chris could MAKE or find fun anywhere he goes, alone or with other people, the man is going to be sure to get as much fun out of everything he can get out, he'll make it happen, if he HAS to! He has the best, and biggest funny bone I've ever witnessed.
Okay Chris, I hope you see this, it is over a year since it was posted. I MUST say, when I "found" you, after watching and listening for a bit,, I thought wow, this guy has GOT to be some distant relative of ours or something. I mean being "fun crazy" runs in our family. We know how to have a good time especially because we ARE fun-crazy! Who else would pack up camping gear in a backpack to walk a couple blocks in your own neighborhood to "go camping" in the winter, with plenty of snow, in the cold AFTER MIDNIGHT before you get started with your "hike" OMG slapping self on forehead - I am so LMFBO (laughing my fun(ny) butt off). ' I know one thing that is doubt free - and for certain... ya can't just make this sh*t up, that's for sure!!!! I've laughed so hard, the tears are starting to run, shhhhhh! don't tell anyone: (down my legs for crying out loud!) C U L8R **Be Safe, Happy, Healthy, and BE Kind - Kindness Matters!**
My favorite part was you stirring the instant coffee with the sleeve it came in! Funny. You really got the most out of this hike within view of your house.
I have a Jetboil frying pan that looks like that. My wife and hike in the city during big snow storms. We stop off at motels with restaurants to eat. But your idea looks like more fun.
Being from Texas and the fact it's been years since I've seen snow, and our definition of a snow storm is like 1/4 inch, I was freezing just watching you.
SF East Bay here, great video! When I saw the weather on your phone at the very beginning I guessed it was the big storm in January. That storm was epic, I drove up to the Sierras for skiing on my birthday (29th) the day after you camped. Big storms like they used to happen a few times a year. These days we are lucky to get one similar event per year. Peace and positivity Chris, love your videos and positivity.
Chris your my kind of madman. Most people will be saying WHY, I say WHY NOT. If we got snow anything like you do and I had somewhere like that to camp near my house I would be out there to. Great little vid and very out of the ordinary.
Omg Chris your so wild and a bit crazy. I'm absolutely here for it. I love your videos. Especially ones like these. Just want you to know its worth it that you do this.
Hey brother i just had to watch your stealth camp video again. I really enjoy watching it but i don't winter camp anymore mainly because i had spent 20 years in the Infantry in the US Army and done tons of winter survival training and had frostbite and hypothermia. I wished i could do it again because of the beauty of the snow. So i do a lot of backpacking trips in the spring, summer and fall and do some stealth camping in nearby woods close to my house. But anyway i sure enjoy watching you do it. Derek
Chris, Great video (as are ALL of your videos! I live in Maine & up here, we’d consider this to be a fairly typical night of pitching a tent in the back yard with a little chill in the air and a few snow flurries! ****I’m not knocking it by any means - it’s a great video that most people will never experience and can’t relate to!! Obviously, in this part of the country, we’re pretty accustomed to winter weather, but drop me in the woods in the heat of summer in Nevada & I’d be dying!!! Keep up the great work my friend!!
I could use some of your Motivation, if its in the 30's I can't make myselft come close to doing something like that. Thank you for sharing all your camping & cooking adventures. Stay dry in that weather will be very difficult, yes?
I’m moving to Carson City. But seriously, I love your videos. Wish I can watch when I go solo camping. I like winter camping cause no sweat, no bugs, less people and water everywhere.
That was a brutal camp especially when humidity seeps all inside, and it's too cold to leave a vent open, this could become dangerous if it gets into your bedding and clothes, then it's below zero, hypothermia wouldn't be far behind, so glad you lived close and didn't have a long hike out in your damp clothes, One thing I have seen on UK hikes is the hot water bottles. They use excess boiled water to fill bottles and place inside bedding, this keeps them warm overnight, I have a farm, and I use the " hot hand, hot feet" pads during winter weather feeding,
very funny that you are near your home. Excellent adventure and no dog walkers! I bet you were so glad to get back in and dry everything out. Houses do have their uses. Reminds me of another man like you. Steve Wallis.
YOU’RE CERTIFIABLE! But it’s funny, so it works. I typically only pitch tents in my own back yard which is fenced in. Anywhere off of my lot I need to be sleeping in the cargo bay of my Subaru Forester with the windows covered, preferably in an airport parking garage.
my Aunt lives in Sacramento which must be nearby, or not to far away i guess? i also camp as often as i can 2 or 3 times a year, with my german sheper dog. Abo+like..👍🏻
That was crazy! But it was interesting. Thanks again for another great video share! Keep hiking, God bless, and have a great one! See you on the next one!
Love these videos, makes me realize we are not alone. The OCD in me sees 3655 emails "unanswered" as well, now I am hyper-ventilating lol, keep on keeping on, thank you!!
What a fun camp! I may have skipped the cooking unless I had a bit of a shelter set up because wet cold sucks but other than that, looked like a great time! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Chris can you imagine when you opened your tent in the morning and you find a wild animal or worse than that, a neighbor standing right outside the tent!! 😂
That was crazy but it seems like you really enjoyed it as much as I did like you said it was good to get out and try something different but luckily you had the house right down there when it got too bad

You're the best! Thank U!
This is exactly why I love watching this fella... his energy and will for enjoying life is most beautiful.
Any coyotes, or anything that might smell the food that you will cook?

Wow!!! It looks magical!! Thanks so much for taking us with you
Awesome adventure !, even if it was close to your house. You are a tough individual ! , and very organized in your hiking adventures. Fun !
By far this is one of my favorite videos of yours. I especially love the night scenes of the town from on top the hill. Keep hiking! :)
I must say BCC is my new favorite hiking and storytelling channel A++++++
You are one of a kind. I enjoy your show
This dude radiates chaotic good energy
Thanks Man!
You are so crazy in a good way!!🤣🤣😉🙅♀️🙆♀️
Beautiful Snow! Love it! I'm from Canada!
Glad I’m not the only one who does fun, crazy schtuff! ☃️

Awesome! Thank you!
This was so great. A bit painful for you but such a real video. Loved it!
Being from Texas and the fact it's been years since I've seen snow, and our definition of a snow storm is like 1/4 inch, I was freezing just watching you.
Thanks for watching Magic...yes, a cold wet storm was on my plate.
Wow Chris talk about thinking outside the box. This video was so enjoyable and your enthusiasm knows no bounds.
Thank you...I stay positive ...I stay intact!

Thank you! Sounds like a good ski trip. Yes- more snow is always needed.
Hey my guy that’s the best video I’ve seen . Keep it up
Appreciate it...Yes...fun but wet night.
You are always so jolly, it's so nice to see, love all your videos and stories, thanks.

👌🏼love the stealth angle. Would like to see more like this.
Thanks Wolfe.., yeah kinda fun for me. I’ll do more.
I second this... Great video just a little short...
Ха
Mommy, I just woke up and looked outside in the snow, I saw a big hairy monster. No, that’s just our neighbor Chris. Fun stuff. Keep it up!
Omg Chris your so wild and a bit crazy. I'm absolutely here for it. I love your videos. Especially ones like these. Just want you to know its worth it that you do this.

Great idea.. People love the late night stuff! Atleast I do..
Chris we need another stealth camping video ❤
I love that you don’t let convention hold you back. TY for allowing me to live vicariously.
Thank you Kimberly! KP HKNG!
I’m moving to Carson City. But seriously, I love your videos. Wish I can watch when I go solo camping. I like winter camping cause no sweat, no bugs, less people and water everywhere.
I can tell when a channel is gonna get big. This one right here.
Thank you!! KH!
Steve Wallis would be impressed with your stealth camp. But you forgot to bring the Step Two's :-)
Yes, he does some cool stealth camping!
@@basecampchris Steve does the best stealth camping.

Great video. Love the music on all of your videos, you have a talent for mixing it all very well.
Columbia Omni heat gear is legit plus it doesn’t break the bank either. Good stuff
very funny that you are near your home. Excellent adventure and no dog walkers! I bet you were so glad to get back in and dry everything out. Houses do have their uses. Reminds me of another man like you. Steve Wallis.
Yes it was! I came back home and had all gear drying in the house...tent over dining room chairs/ sleep pads rolled out etc...coffee was brewing!
Watching you struggle stressed me out! Really cool stealth camping video, Chris!
kind of a wrestling match with the elements...Thanks!
One of the best and most difficult videos Chris. Thanks for your guts. Keep hiking.
Thanks, will do!
You could tell people you are training to climb Everest. When backpacking in your neighbourhood🤩
YOU’RE CERTIFIABLE! But it’s funny, so it works. I typically only pitch tents in my own back yard which is fenced in. Anywhere off of my lot I need to be sleeping in the cargo bay of my Subaru Forester with the windows covered, preferably in an airport parking garage.
This is great, shows me I can go on worldly adventures without leaving home.
Thanks!
What was you thinking, lol 😂 , Hot shower and a nap was in order after that !! Thanks for getting a video out there Chris, always enjoy them !!
Thanks for watching! Very hot shower and coffee!
You’re kinda crazy, Chris! 😊😜crazy about camping, at any rate!! This was fun.
A winter wonderland .....but next time, do that in your Garage!, 😄😁😆😅🤣😂🙃😉
Warmer to sleep in the garage...dryer too! :)
my Aunt lives in Sacramento which must be nearby, or not to far away i guess? i also
camp as often as i can 2 or 3 times a year, with my german sheper dog. Abo+like..👍🏻
That's great...Yes- Sacramento is over the west side of Donner pass....fun to have a dog with while hiking! KH!
GREAT. FABULOUS. CAMPING.
Thanks Mark! KH!
this was different and FUN! Your videos are always fun to watch. Omg, you're making breakfast in the sleet/snow?!
Super nice! I liked that lofi as well.
Chris, one of my favorite videos of yours. Love watching you brother!
Thank you David!
Great video Chris.! Pretty much wiped Carson City off my retirement list, but I thought you really killed it on this one!
thank you
I love it. You don't have to go to the edge of the planet for adventure.
Probably makes it harder when you can walk 2 minutes and get under a quilt
It was in the back of my mind...but I got through it.
Rock and roll Chris! Love how people are drawn to nature
Thanks NIck!
That was crazy! But it was interesting. Thanks again for another great video share! Keep hiking, God bless, and have a great one! See you on the next one!
Thank so much! you too! KP HKNG!
i just love your happiness
Thanks Linda! Keep Hiking!
Love these videos, makes me realize we are not alone. The OCD in me sees 3655 emails "unanswered" as well, now I am hyper-ventilating lol, keep on keeping on, thank you!!
Wild and crazy guy! I would love to do this having the next day off from work and sleeping all day in the snow storm.
Well earned hot shower!
Don’t let my previous comment throw you off I do enjoy this guy and enjoy this video
No Problem...Keep Hiking!
You are the Camping Steve Martin , Lol this is my 3rd time watching this video over time 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Wow, thanks!! I do love Steve! Plays a mean Banjo! lol, C
I wonder if there was someone shoveling their drive thinking. Man something smells delicious.? lol.
you are awesome I love your enthusiasm!!! way to go!!
Thanks so much!!
What a fun camp! I may have skipped the cooking unless I had a bit of a shelter set up because wet cold sucks but other than that, looked like a great time! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
2 nights in the cold/ wet would not be possible w/o some dry time in between..coffee warmed me up though.
Chris can you imagine when you opened your tent in the morning and you find a wild animal or worse than that, a neighbor standing right outside the tent!! 😂
Amazingly , peaceful!
Thanks Keith!
You are one crazy dude, Chris. I like it! Great video, keep up the good work.
You have a beautiful house Chris god bless you and your family
stealth camping is FUN
Good job at doing your best. Waiting for more.
Thank you, I will.
I love your videos my friend thank you brother I wish I would have friends like you.
I appreciate that Scott! C
❄️☃️❄️🌨️Winter Wonderland ❄️☃️❄️Nice😊
I love your enthusiasm
Thanks! Keep Hiking!
You had fun. All that matters.
I did...a little wet but good time!
It just looks so cold there! I am a spring and fall lover. Winter is for people who enjoy the cold.
What a fun (and challenging) overnight adventure!
Thanks Michael!
I love this video. You need to do more like it brother.
Thank you, I will
That was crazy but it seems like you really enjoyed it as much as I did like you said it was good to get out and try something different but luckily you had the house right down there when it got too bad
I did! short commute / wild night. grateful to dry out !
I can see doing this in Carson City. All kinds of little hideaways.
