I worked on the Death Valley trail crew in the 1980s and those barns in the distance in the beginning were where they kept the work horses that carried supplies up to the various trail crews. Tell you a true story, but don't tell anybody because I don't want people to get in trouble. There was a Percheron work horse named Bill that we all loved, he was a character. But Bill got too old to do the work and the Park Service policy at the time was to put the horse out in the pasture near those barns and basically let them expire naturally. Well our supervisor had a ranch in Wyoming and he didn't like the idea of Bill dying out in the field by himself, so one day in the fall as everything was winding down he brought his trailer to the field, loaded Bill up, and took him to his ranch to let Bill live out his life in the company of people. We knew he would treat him well. Keep in mind Bill was a U.S. Park Service horse and as such was U.S. Government property. Everyone knew my supervisor did it and looked the other way and we figured it was best for old Bill. But you never know, this could be a fictional story. so don't ask me for any more details.
I'm the same way. I will spend entire summer out west sleeping in my truck and never light a single fire. Hate smoke smelling clothing. Sleeping in the truck is a way to travel, fish, hike, bike and stargaze. It's cheap, convenient, on location, germ free and above all people free.
I’m impressed! For someone who’s never been on XC skis you were beginning to get a little bit of a glide by the end of your trip. There are some great youtube vids to learn to XC. Trust me, it’s worth it to learn to fly over the snow. Or, take a lesson or two. As athletic as you are, being able to throw your weight forward and increase your glide will increase your enjoyment of skiing by at least 500%.
I feel better knowing that someone else likes the road trip part but not the camping part. Now I don't have to feel like I'm 'cheating' when I take off in my car. The animal sites were amazing!!! As beautiful as the landscape looks, it would probably be too cold for my liking. So, thanks for sharing the view!
I love the Grand Tetons.WINTER.!..my favorite time of the year...the absolute quiet is mesmerizing...I snowshoe in the eastern SIERRAS!!!..love the solitude of the WINTER snowshoe!!
Yes! We "camp" in a similar style. It was quite liberating to hear you say you don't like campfires. My husband and I agreed that we were making campfires just out of tradition. We ran out of room, so we swapped out our big comfortable chairs for minimal chairs and have not regretted it. Funny how we do things out of habit. Thanks for all your inspiration!
Glad to know Skinny Skis is still in business. We rented skis around 1990 and did a little trip in the Tetons. Later we snowmobiled in Yellowstone on a very cold day in late December. Boy was that ride cold until be got to the first warming hut. Thanks for reminding me of those days and one of my favorite areas in the world. The summer backpacking trips were also great.
Maple and brown sugar oatmeal is my favorite camping breakfast. I just went on an overnight camping trip sleeping in my car. I also took a camp chair but did not even get it out. Love this video. Just a simple relaxing time.
Beautiful fox! And that Raven was a beauty also! Both very clever creatures and can be quick to befriend a human for food 😅 If you feed a Raven from the same spot for a while, it will begin leaving you gifts in return. I really love Ravens ❤😊 Stunning vistas and artwork! Thank you!
Stunning beauty. What a great trip to make. That black bird is a raven; much bigger than crows and, like them, very intelligent birds. I've seen them wait for people to turn their backs on food and then swoop down and take off with it. He was checking our your situation for a food opportunity.
Hey, I'm from Michigan and we wouldn't say that about you and your skiing! We love getting out on the frozen lakes, ice skating, ice fishing, skiing and shoeing. It's great to see you out there amongst the pines and the crisp snow.
Gorgeous winter views of the Tetons and Jackson! The fox must've heard tacos were for supper. Lot of familiar locations you captured like the museum. Spent Christmas in Jackson a few years ago and it was a holiday to remember. Been there in both seasons and it is always amazing. Thanks for the virtual tour.
I am catching up on all of your previous videos since I have recently found you and I must say they are all terrific, and so are YOU. Your interesting, calm personality is a joy. Thanks for your hard work, I appreciate all of it, and am looking forward to seeing all of your videos.
That bird was a raven. Once in Sequoia National Park I had a gorgeous Coyote circle my car and was able to get some beautiful photos as it came with in 5-10 feet. Like you I did not feed it. It’s amazing when you get that close to wildlife.
Wow Tristan! I thought the Tetons were impressive in summer.... but winter is just so dang amazing! And $21 bucks for a day of cross country skiing is pretty darn good in my opinion. Thanks for the tour! And the fox? that guy was so beautiful... and brazen... haha... looking for that extra treat! Great video as usual! ( and I'm so glad you're getting good use out of the cabinet too! ) Joe
GREAT VID, Tristan....and you cracked me up.....” this BIG bird”.....is a raven, one of my favorite birds. They are very smart, and some native American tribes think they are powerful spirits. I love “walking” along, on x-country skis, in the mountains...you looked pretty good, nice, smooth stride on the way back
Nope...not lazy... minimalist. I agree. It's being there. Eating and keeping warm and sleeping well are all supplemental to experiencing connection with the mountains and water and pure air. Thanks for another beautiful invitation to return to the wild. (wrote before end... then saw amazing museum segment! A worthy fee! Thanks!)
Terrific video which brought back great memories Thank you ! My wife and I visited the area (from Australia) in September of 2015. The Tetons had had their first snowfall of the year a few days before; just beautiful! And I swear we saw that same moose (at 2.35) sitting under the same tree!? Good times!
Oh. My. Gosh! The fox! He was SO beautiful. I appreciate your wise decision to eat differently and NOT to feed the fox knowing going into visitor areas are what gets them killed...then seeing the sign on the way out is proof you did the right thing. I’m with you on the not liking typical camping things. We have a vintage 13’ trailer we will have solar and it’s got a two burner stove. We don’t do campfires and we don’t cook over an open fire. We like sleeping in our bed and reading and hiking. NOT the places YOU hike, but camping in a parking lot is something we would totally do. So enjoy the music and the museum! Thanks for taking us along! Interested to hear more about your new camping set up!
First, thank you for inviting us to join you on your adventures; such fun! The Grand Teton video is one of the best yet. Second, I had a great laugh by your expressions of "the big bird"! Cameras do not do justice to the actual size of animals; but when it got close to your car, I got scared too! Thanks again.
Enjoy all of your videos, but the winter ones are special since I can't see these areas for myself. Think I liked your lunch "guests" as the best part...awesome wildlife...thanks so much for sharing.
So many people do not like the desert and they don't like the winter time. I think that can only be true for someone who has not experienced either one. Very nice video, beautiful scenery and hungry wildlife.
Hey now, watch that talk about Michiganders, lol. My first cross country skiing was in Northern Lower Peninsula, MI. My "friends" were experienced and switched signs so that what I thought was a 2 mile trail was 5. And we're talking through lots of trees and hills. Fortunately for me, there were a group of wonderful young men who took pity on me (well, being 20 years old didn't hurt, ha), shared a thermos of moguls and helped me back. What a beautiful trail! I've only been up that way in Summer and Early Fall. Lovely.
Wow! What a nice trip! Thank you for having me along! Favorites: the vastness of quiet whiteness around you as you cross-country skied, The animal sightings: what a beautiful fox and huge raven, The view of the Tetons almost seemed unreal they were so perfect. I’ve never camped but feel like I’d be the same when it comes to food and prep on a trip; possibly even less inclined to put much prep in. I plan to try it this spring locally (southern Nevada) and want to bring “pocket food” like mixed nuts, fruit, and pemican as food. Wonder if I’m being realistic. There’s only one way to find out. :)
i"m a skier too, never tried cross country skiing, but that looks like a nice place to start, (level ground), i think you did great.., i liked the winter
I have that exact refrigerator. I keep it in my workshop, and have been running full time for about 3 months. Very pleased with it. Beautiful place. Thanks for taking us along.
Yessss...been waiting for a Tetons episode! What a stunningly spectacular area, even more so covered in snow on a sunny day. Excellent video beginning to end packed with tons of detail! Scenery, wildlife, gear, chatting, skiing...loved it all! It's funny, I'm too lazy for cross country skiing but am more than happy to set up camp, build a campfire, and cook a nice dinner. Your kind of lazy is probably healthier than my kind of lazy, LOL. I'm really looking forward to hearing more about the fridge. I seriously considered that one (no way I was going to spend $800+ on one of the big names) but lacking a dual power setup for the moment and not wanting to dive into that expense as well, I decided to just try out a better cooler for this year. But I'm very very curious about that little fridge. I really like the size of it compared to most vehicle fridges I see people carting around. Awesome work as always!
I'm glad you liked it! I got the fridge on sale for $145. Crazy cheap. This was the first trip I've taken it on, so I can't speak to its long term durability or anything, but it worked!
Is that what folk from Michigan sound like? I thought maybe the fox was your spirit animal come to visit. Or the raven. You seemed nonplused... The light and the clear air and Tetons= beautiful. Thanks for sharing...
Awesome to see something from just a few days ago! I love the Jackson hole Teton Yellowstone area! The animals always steal the show the wildlife is amazing! Thank you for sharing your adventures!!
I really enjoyed this video. I started cross country skiing a few years ago as well and I no longer do downhill because it’s so expensive. Flat terrain is nice but down any hills on x-country skis is scary! Beautiful area! It’s on my bucket list to visit once I am able to travel for an extended period of time, ie, more than 2 weeks.
Super nice. Never been there in winter either. Last year was the first time I saw the Tetons from the West in Idaho. Such an awesome sight. Man, you're blessed you live so close.
Just beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing it, while it was winter too. The Fox was a gift for sure, what an incredible feeling that must have been and not to mention that photo, Wow. I loved the shots of you gleefully, gliding by on those skis though. looked like a great trip!! would love to see some frozen yellowstone to if you make it over there this winter. Snow adds another layer of beauty and dimension I think, it's so much prettier to see places like that. As always another fantastic video.
That wildlife is really something. That fox, WOW. What a tail on the fox. The animals are curious about you too. Camping/SUV'ing is valid no matter what motivates you to do it. That's what fascinates me about it. For me, camping has something to do with getting by with very little. Everyone comes to it from a different perspective. Good video.
Hahahahaha... HEY! I'm from Michigan, what's it to ya! Really just want to say thanks. Came across your stream a couple weeks ago and have to tell ya, love every minute of it. Tetons are my favorite place too. Am at a point now in my life where if I want to do anymore adventuring I'll have to do it thru others vicariously. Evidently we have a lot in common when it comes to appreciating mother earth. From what I've seen you continue to point out, visit or have experienced almost all the types of things and places I've cherished in my time. Having had several opportunities to travel and explore, every time have ventured out always am drawn to the northwest, USA. Have visited most all of the US and Canada, but have made the time to include a visit there. Tetons and Yellowstone x8 and all other places, e.g., Crater Lake at least x1. Like you visited an area near Dubois, WY and I was kind of taken aback when your shared your enjoyment of that, otherwise never before noted, specific area. In my early days my claim to fame was my avid interests in Rock Climbing and Mountaineering... Had at one point laid out a succession of progressive climbs starting out with L:ongs Peak in CO and Devils Tower in WY, to El Cap and Half Dome in Yosemite, and many more in between. But that was before devotion to family and career took over. Had to set them aside for "later in life", but that time is now and unfortunately God had other plans for me and was crippled in an accident. BUT, But, but now thru the creation of technology am able to follow you and your trek around my famous places and enjoy, thru you, what would've been. So Thank You. (Had visited Tetons in every season, but Winter and was one of those, "plans" had set aside and cross-country skiing was something had just started to enjoy, too - double thank you!)
Dang Tristan! I think this is my favorite video of yours! I need to get there...in winter! This brought tears to my eyes! I really appreciate how you video yourself skiiing (or hiking in other videos). I understand how much time and effort that takes, but it makes for a much more interesting video. My favorite part was the fox visitor!
Nice video. When I stopped in that same parking lot a huge Raven perched right on my side view mirror and scared the crap of out me. I just may have to try some cross country skis...
I loved that music at the beginning. That fox was freaking me out. LOL Your adventurous spirit is infectious, great video! Dinner? Really? Tristan we need to work on your nutrition! 😱😋💚
Great video. The Tetons are beautiful. I love the winter videos like this that you have done. It give a different perspective of some of these areas. Thanks for sharing you adventures with us.
Nice video...so beautiful, impressive herd of elk, and I thought I saw a lot of elk when I was in Oregon. I'll have to make a point of passing through there when i go back west...evidently the fox was hoping you didn't see the "please don't feed the fox sign" :) and I really liked the picture of the owl at that museum)))
Wow what a fantastic area just when you thought you were alone all the animals start coming out of the woods. Loving the view so clear you have a good camera thanks for sharing your experience see you in the next.
I'm eating tacos as I type this!! LOL. Tetons are beautiful, snow-covered!! I'm like you, I taught myself how to cross-country ski, YEARS ago, when I was MUCH younger!! You did well!! Thanks for the continued inspiration to head west in my van and visit all these beautiful places. Saw YNP in October so that one is crossed off my list!! Btw, I'm from Ohio.
Your reminding me how much I enjoyed winters in northern Ontario, Canada where I skied (x country) across lakes in temperatures of -30 with the wind chill. But under blue blue sky... It's the best. Just not the same here (mind you,very beautiful) in British Columbia. Thx for your great videos!
Love the Tetons. I camped at Colter Bay last June, there was a fox family (with pups!) that had dug out a den underneath the laundry/showers building. Beautiful creatures.
Breathtaking!. Appears the animals there have a good hotline for when dinner's cooking. I use a small immersion heater to get my water for my oatmeal and dehydrated soups. then I don't have to use up any fuel. Or Step outside if I don't want to. I really love this video. And I like your simpler adapted style of being in nature. To suit your enjoyment
I was just in Yellowstone and the Tetons back in late August and early September. On a side trip I visited Mesa Falls in nearby Idaho and had a fox do exactly the same thing in the parking lot. I was told by the rangers that people are feeding them causing them to lose their fear of humans. I remember seeing the museum but unfortunately didn't stop.
This channel is quickly becoming my favorite........my other Fav is some local boys to you, the Mediocre Amatuer. Both channels outdoorsy and incredibly inspiring in different ways. Thanks for the awesome and soothing content
Awesome videos. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas of where to visit once the current situation blows over. I enjoy both car and "regular" camping. I'll mainly do the tent and fire stuff with my kid. But yeah, that smokey smell can get annoying. I dried my shoes over a campfire last December in Yosemite. They still have the smell. 😁
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS SCENERY VIEWS VIDEO ! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TAG ALONG WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Very nice! Spent a night in Jackson Hole in middle of Jan 2020 on the way to Washington. Was at Elks Refuge Observation lot where you were. What a sight it was! Definitely want to revisit the area.
Nice to see winter at tetons and the fox was interesting as I would agree with you about food preparation. I again recommended your videos to Nat. Geo. telling them your videos are better and I watch them more because they are better. I hope you get your own channel because you worked for it.
I really loved this little trip, and I think this is one of my favorite videos I've ever made. Scroll up and give it a like if you enjoyed it!
I worked on the Death Valley trail crew in the 1980s and those barns in the distance in the beginning were where they kept the work horses that carried supplies up to the various trail crews. Tell you a true story, but don't tell anybody because I don't want people to get in trouble. There was a Percheron work horse named Bill that we all loved, he was a character. But Bill got too old to do the work and the Park Service policy at the time was to put the horse out in the pasture near those barns and basically let them expire naturally. Well our supervisor had a ranch in Wyoming and he didn't like the idea of Bill dying out in the field by himself, so one day in the fall as everything was winding down he brought his trailer to the field, loaded Bill up, and took him to his ranch to let Bill live out his life in the company of people. We knew he would treat him well. Keep in mind Bill was a U.S. Park Service horse and as such was U.S. Government property. Everyone knew my supervisor did it and looked the other way and we figured it was best for old Bill. But you never know, this could be a fictional story. so don't ask me for any more details.
I'm the same way. I will spend entire summer out west sleeping in my truck and never light a single fire. Hate smoke smelling clothing. Sleeping in the truck is a way to travel, fish, hike, bike and stargaze. It's cheap, convenient, on location, germ free and above all people free.
Exactly! Couldn't agree more 😁
The no people thing is huge, it is getting harder every year to get away from other people. Sleeping in your truck is so free feeling.
I’m impressed! For someone who’s never been on XC skis you were beginning to get a little bit of a glide by the end of your trip. There are some great youtube vids to learn to XC. Trust me, it’s worth it to learn to fly over the snow. Or, take a lesson or two. As athletic as you are, being able to throw your weight forward and increase your glide will increase your enjoyment of skiing by at least 500%.
The Fox was just beautiful, so were the paintings and sculptures in the museum.
One of my favourite videos, too! Due to your genuine excitement and your appreciation of nature and the silence. And the fox, of course! So beautiful.
I feel better knowing that someone else likes the road trip part but not the camping part. Now I don't have to feel like I'm 'cheating' when I take off in my car.
The animal sites were amazing!!! As beautiful as the landscape looks, it would probably be too cold for my liking. So, thanks for sharing the view!
Thanks for watching!
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WILDLIFE ART!! WOW!! THANK YOU so much for sharing these paintings!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
I love the Grand Tetons.WINTER.!..my favorite time of the year...the absolute quiet is mesmerizing...I snowshoe in the eastern SIERRAS!!!..love the solitude of the WINTER snowshoe!!

Loved seeing the elk and moose and watching you cross country ski!❤️😀🇺🇸🚙🌏
Awesome video, love the winter. The fast turn around of post this video was super.
That bird was a raven. Once in Sequoia National Park I had a gorgeous Coyote circle my car and was able to get some beautiful photos as it came with in 5-10 feet. Like you I did not feed it. It’s amazing when you get that close to wildlife.

Thanks Joe! Yeah the Tetons are just unreal in winter. And the park is great in winter because there's basically no one else around. Pretty great.
GREAT VID, Tristan....and you cracked me up.....” this BIG bird”.....is a raven, one of my favorite birds. They are very smart, and some native American tribes think they are powerful spirits.

Thanks! Yes, the museum was definitely worth it. I was surprised by how much I liked it.
Love this video......you’re reaction to the animals was priceless. Love the Tetons!
I love the smell of a crackling campfire !!
More power to you 👍
I worked for a candle company where this "smell" was the best seller. Strange.
Terrific video which brought back great memories Thank you ! My wife and I visited the area (from Australia) in September of 2015. The Tetons had had their first snowfall of the year a few days before; just beautiful! And I swear we saw that same moose (at 2.35) sitting under the same tree!? Good times!
Lol must be a popular moose hangout spot!
Surely stargazing after a day enjoying the scenery is the icing on the cake?!
I do mine from my moonroof! Lol! Well, when it's buggy or cold 😊
Oh. My. Gosh! The fox! He was SO beautiful. I appreciate your wise decision to eat differently and NOT to feed the fox knowing going into visitor areas are what gets them killed...then seeing the sign on the way out is proof you did the right thing.

Lol thanks Mary!
I enjoyed it all ... but I was impressed with the zoom power of your camera .... Love seeing the herd of elk sitting in the snow. Thank you.
Thanks Anita! The zoom on that camera still impresses me, too.
Went through wyoming just a month ago...camped at a reservoir with views of the mountains to the west. Truly beautiful, quiet country. 😊🇨🇦
It really is 👍
I had one ski trip to Jackson Hole. It was awesome. But 4 x to the Tetons and Yellowstone. Probably my favorite place on the planet.
Great art museum music! My husband was a mandolin player in a few Bluegrass bands.
Enjoy all of your videos, but the winter ones are special since I can't see these areas for myself. Think I liked your lunch "guests" as the best part...awesome wildlife...thanks so much for sharing.
So many people do not like the desert and they don't like the winter time. I think that can only be true for someone who has not experienced either one. Very nice video, beautiful scenery and hungry wildlife.
Hmm. I think they can be true for different people, even those who have experienced them. Thanks David!
Love your channel,especially the music you pick for background music.
Hey now, watch that talk about Michiganders, lol. My first cross country skiing was in Northern Lower Peninsula, MI. My "friends" were experienced and switched signs so that what I thought was a 2 mile trail was 5. And we're talking through lots of trees and hills.

Yep, your pocket food idea is a workable option. Not sure if I'd be into pemmican, but any kind of snack food works just fine.
i"m a skier too, never tried cross country skiing, but that looks like a nice place to start, (level ground), i think you did great.., i liked the winter
It's pretty easy after you get over the initial wobbliness and unfamiliarity with it 👍
I have that exact refrigerator. I keep it in my workshop, and have been running full time for about 3 months. Very pleased with it.
Beautiful place. Thanks for taking us along.
This was my first trip with it. But so far, so good. Thanks!
Great video! That raven was eyeing something shiny to snatch for his own. And as for the fox: you chose a good plan B. Tacos were calling his name! 😉.
Yessss...been waiting for a Tetons episode! What a stunningly spectacular area, even more so covered in snow on a sunny day. Excellent video beginning to end packed with tons of detail!

@@SUVRVing Oh wow that's an amazing price...I would've pulled the trigger on it as well at that price!
I love all of it, the moose, fox and elk. I also love the art in the museum and of course The Tetons!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
I'm an old down hill skier, but this makes me want to do a similar trip. I loved the music used behind the museum shots. Thanks.
Went through Teton Pass about 2 1/2 weeks before you were there. It was fun seeing 10 ft snow banks on the sides of the road. Just love that area.
Great video....the snow is beautiful on the mountains....the fox and bird were both big...
Thanks for the art work too
Thanks for watching, Betty!
Really enjoyed this video. What a treat to get such great pics of the fox.
Thanks Karen!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Loved the views.
I love watching the live cam view of the town square online. Thanks for the video.
Another outstanding video! The scenery is magnificent as well as the pics in the museum. I also like the music you've been playing too. Thank you!
Thanks!
Excellent vid bro, that's a Crow and a very healthy looking one at that.
Is that what folk from Michigan sound like? I thought maybe the fox was your spirit animal come to visit. Or the raven. You seemed nonplused... The light and the clear air and Tetons= beautiful. Thanks for sharing...
A very delightful video! I liked the part where you said you had been looking forward to the taco meat, as you looked into the bowl of oatmeal. ;)
Awesome to see something from just a few days ago! I love the Jackson hole Teton Yellowstone area! The animals always steal the show the wildlife is amazing! Thank you for sharing your adventures!!
I agree, the animals are the highlight of this area, for sure. Thanks John!

Super nice. Never been there in winter either. Last year was the first time I saw the Tetons from the West in Idaho. Such an awesome sight. Man, you're blessed you live so close.
Because I live in Idaho , that's how I usually see them. But they're beautiful from any angle! Thanks for watching, Nigel.
Awesome views! I loved seeing these mountains vicariously with you.
Thanks Carol!
was there this summer....great to see it's beauty in winter
Just beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing it, while it was winter too. The Fox was a gift for sure, what an incredible feeling that must have been and not to mention that photo, Wow. I loved the shots of you gleefully, gliding by on those skis though. looked like a great trip!! would love to see some frozen yellowstone to if you make it over there this winter. Snow adds another layer of beauty and dimension I think, it's so much prettier to see places like that. As always another fantastic video.
That wildlife is really something. That fox, WOW. What a tail on the fox. The animals are curious about you too. Camping/SUV'ing is valid no matter what motivates you to do it. That's what fascinates me about it. For me, camping has something to do with getting by with very little. Everyone comes to it from a different perspective. Good video.
Hahahahaha... HEY! I'm from Michigan, what's it to ya! Really just want to say thanks. Came across your stream a couple weeks ago and have to tell ya, love every minute of it. Tetons are my favorite place too. Am at a point now in my life where if I want to do anymore adventuring I'll have to do it thru others vicariously. Evidently we have a lot in common when it comes to appreciating mother earth. From what I've seen you continue to point out, visit or have experienced almost all the types of things and places I've cherished in my time. Having had several opportunities to travel and explore, every time have ventured out always am drawn to the northwest, USA. Have visited most all of the US and Canada, but have made the time to include a visit there. Tetons and Yellowstone x8 and all other places, e.g., Crater Lake at least x1. Like you visited an area near Dubois, WY and I was kind of taken aback when your shared your enjoyment of that, otherwise never before noted, specific area. In my early days my claim to fame was my avid interests in Rock Climbing and Mountaineering... Had at one point laid out a succession of progressive climbs starting out with L:ongs Peak in CO and Devils Tower in WY, to El Cap and Half Dome in Yosemite, and many more in between. But that was before devotion to family and career took over. Had to set them aside for "later in life", but that time is now and unfortunately God had other plans for me and was crippled in an accident. BUT, But, but now thru the creation of technology am able to follow you and your trek around my famous places and enjoy, thru you, what would've been. So Thank You. (Had visited Tetons in every season, but Winter and was one of those, "plans" had set aside and cross-country skiing was something had just started to enjoy, too - double thank you!)
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
Really really like your new storage interior layout now your competitive with the big RVs. Wonderful video also.
Thanks Joseph!
Dang Tristan! I think this is my favorite video of yours! I need to get there...in winter! This brought tears to my eyes! I really appreciate how you video yourself skiiing (or hiking in other videos). I understand how much time and effort that takes, but it makes for a much more interesting video. My favorite part was the fox visitor!
Nice video. When I stopped in that same parking lot a huge Raven perched right on my side view mirror and scared the crap of out me. I just may have to try some cross country skis...
Great museum I have been to that area this time of year fishing as well as summer. Enjoying this from S.W. Colorado! Thanks really enjoy your stuff!
Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing. Cool museum too.
Great video! Definitely adding GTNP to my travel list!
Oh I thought it had switched videos cuz that's the same music in my self reliance channel lol. Love the little fox, a gift for sure!
Lol yep, he uses it too 😁 Thanks Nancy!
Looks like a great place for a fat bike if allowed. I'm not a big fan of the snow so thanks for bringing me with you.
I agree, it would be, but I don't think they're allowed on it. They are in Teton Canyon on the west side of the range, though.
Thank you for the time you take in making and sharing these great adventures. The excitement of the simple things and beauty
I like that you show the location on a map. Thank you. As usual, another enjoyable video. 👌
Thanks!
I loved that music at the beginning. That fox was freaking me out. LOL Your adventurous spirit is infectious, great video! Dinner? Really? Tristan we need to work on your nutrition! 😱😋💚
Lol believe me, that oatmeal was not my first choice!
Great video. The Tetons are beautiful. I love the winter videos like this that you have done. It give a different perspective of some of these areas. Thanks for sharing you adventures with us.
Nice video...so beautiful, impressive herd of elk, and I thought I saw a lot of elk when I was in Oregon. I'll have to make a point of passing through there when i go back west...evidently the fox was hoping you didn't see the "please don't feed the fox sign" :) and I really liked the picture of the owl at that museum)))
Thanks Tom! It's absolutely an area worth making a detour for.
Wow what a fantastic area just when you thought you were alone all the animals start coming out of the woods. Loving the view so clear you have a good camera thanks for sharing your experience see you in the next.
Thanks David!
I'm eating tacos as I type this!! LOL. Tetons are beautiful, snow-covered!! I'm like you, I taught myself how to cross-country ski, YEARS ago, when I was MUCH younger!! You did well!! Thanks for the continued inspiration to head west in my van and visit all these beautiful places. Saw YNP in October so that one is crossed off my list!! Btw, I'm from Ohio.
Ohio here too. Hope to head west in my Rav4 this year.
That fox was beautiful.
Your reminding me how much I enjoyed winters in northern Ontario, Canada where I skied (x country) across lakes in temperatures of -30 with the wind chill. But under blue blue sky... It's the best.
Just not the same here (mind you,very beautiful) in British Columbia.
Thx for your great videos!
Yeesh, that's some serious cold!
Nice videos, Mr. Fox looked really good, beautiful coat, x-c skiing form 👍great way to explore in the snow.
Thanks Rosemary!
Love the Tetons. I camped at Colter Bay last June, there was a fox family (with pups!) that had dug out a den underneath the laundry/showers building. Beautiful creatures.
How cool was that?! 🤯
So cool how the locals showed up to welcome the guest into their home! Haha I love it and that fox was amazing!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
Breathtaking!. Appears the animals there have a good hotline for when dinner's cooking. I use a small immersion heater to get my water for my oatmeal and dehydrated soups. then I don't have to use up any fuel. Or Step outside if I don't want to. I really love this video. And I like your simpler adapted style of being in nature. To suit your enjoyment
Loved it all! Pretty sure I'm going to be heading up there early to mid May. Fox are very curious & not so shy critters 👍🏻🌞🌞🌞🌞!
Wow, those mountains look amazing. Great job as always, thank you.
Thanks!
I was just in Yellowstone and the Tetons back in late August and early September. On a side trip I visited Mesa Falls in nearby Idaho and had a fox do exactly the same thing in the parking lot. I was told by the rangers that people are feeding them causing them to lose their fear of humans. I remember seeing the museum but unfortunately didn't stop.
The Mesa Falls are great too! Love this part of the country.
Tristan those skies aren't scary lol. Have some fun.
Loved the Fox. It was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 👍
This channel is quickly becoming my favorite........my other Fav is some local boys to you, the Mediocre Amatuer. Both channels outdoorsy and incredibly inspiring in different ways. Thanks for the awesome and soothing content
Love your vids. You are so knowledgable. Thank you.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy them!
Awesome videos. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas of where to visit once the current situation blows over.
I enjoy both car and "regular" camping. I'll mainly do the tent and fire stuff with my kid. But yeah, that smokey smell can get annoying. I dried my shoes over a campfire last December in Yosemite. They still have the smell. 😁
Lol thanks Leonardo!
Very nice to see something beside desert.
Lol well, get ready for more desert videos
The red fox was stunning....reminds me of a movie I saw recently??!!!
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS SCENERY VIEWS VIDEO ! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TAG ALONG WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Thanks David!
Very nice!
Spent a night in Jackson Hole in middle of Jan 2020 on the way to Washington. Was at Elks Refuge Observation lot where you were. What a sight it was! Definitely want to revisit the area.
Whoa! 👍👍two thumbs up for the fox encounter, so rad.
Thanks, I thought so too!
Nice to see winter at tetons and the fox was interesting as I would agree with you about food preparation. I again recommended your videos to Nat. Geo. telling them your videos are better and I watch them more because they are better. I hope you get your own channel because you worked for it.
Beautiful! And that fox!😍
Crazy like a . . . fox! That was a surprise to see. Very cool. You looked really good skiing - I wouldn’t have thought you were a novice.
I got the hang of it after a little while, but I was pretty wobbly at first. It was fun though!
