I love your videos! I really love the episodes when you spent New Year’s, Alaska and now, Mother’s Day with Camp Chef Mom! Your channel deserves all the success it gets!
Thank you so much, really means a lot! Always love when Mom is able to join the trip, best part I don't have to worry about cooking 😆
Chef mom killed it !
The best Mothers Day gift to spend time with my amazing son. 😊. Thank you for watching!
She always makes it a great trip, I know the food menu will be on point when she’s going haha 😉👍
It was nice that we finally ran into each other at the ground... I would like to thank you and your mother for the invite to a campfire chilling 😆 and have some great conversation... Hope more to come brother
Kareem! Thanks for much for hanging out with us, was an incredible time and I’m sure we’ll cross paths again soon enough. Cheers my friend! 🤘
Love exploring this area. Usually we end up pushing further north, but those riverside campsites look pretty nice. Another great video, well done!
Thank you! That's the beauty of this area, spots all over the place and even more so once the snow fully melts. Goal is to get further out and do some hiking this summer as well. Thanks again for watching!
@@ConquestOverland Yeah, great time to hit that - it will be WAY too crowded come summer
Nature in the Pacific North-West really is something. Your videos are a beautiful testimony to that. Keep doing what you're doing - thanks and cheers from Germany
Thank you so much for the watching and the support, especially all the way out in Germany! Not sure if you've ever been out this way as it would make for an awesome visit. Stay tuned as we have much more on the way 😊
@@ConquestOverland I actually got the chance twice to visit Seattle and surrounding areas - even doing a one day hike to Snoqualmie Falls back in 2006. Very much looking forward to you next videos!
One of my favorite areas to camp in every summer in memory of my brother Tony 🙌🏾
Right on, so awesome to hear! Definitely a go-to this time of year 🙌
It was nice meeting you and chef mom during the recovery, glad y’all found a good spot to camp for the weekend.
It was awesome meeting you as well, it was great chatting! Glad we all had a fun weekend out there! 😊
Great video man. Love that you making all those amazing memories with your mom. I screwed up this year and got yelled at by my mom😂 because I wasn't around this year but I think I made up for it.
😆 oh no, as long as you made up for it all that matters! Appreciate the support, thank you very much! Can't wait to get back out on another trip here soon!
I’ve camped there a handful of times, it’s an awesome spot. It’s gets a bit loud during the weekends but having that entire riverbank is great.
Agreed! The river was certainly nice to help drown out the extra noise nearby 😉👍
Love this channel and love to see the Jeep in action.
Keep on keeping brotha 🤙🏽
Thank you so much! Can't wait to see where else our adventures will go in the new Jeep! 🤘
Fun times Dude, Twas nice meeting you again at OEW🤘
Likewise! Thank you so much for stopping by! 🍻
Thanks, I love seeing you and your mom. We live in Graham but new to the area. We have a 5th wheel and can't make the back woods, so day trips work. But you give us an area to explore. Thank you so much.
Appreciate the support, thank you! There's actually a lot of opportunities out this area even with towing a 5th wheel, definitely check it out!
You traded your taco ? Such a wonderful video spending time with the ones you treasure and love. Great video 👏👏👏
Indeed I did! Getting out with the fam is what it’s all about. Appreciate the support, thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Love visiting this area! 😊
Looks like you guys had such a fantastic weekend, good weather, wonderful company and as always amazing food 🍽️🌲
It was incredible! Just wait till we get you out on more trips! 😉
This area is a must visit every year. One of the most stunning area in the state! Well done man
Thanks dude! We've definitely found some great spots out here over the years, may have to test out the trails in your new Bronco! Don't worry though, I'll be on the eBike so I can keep up 😆😉🤘
nice video! makes me want to get out right now
Thank you so much!! No better time like now, it’s perfect weather here in the PNW! 🤘
Another great video of getting outside with good people, thanks for sharing and keep living well man.
Sincerely appreciate that, thank you for the continued support! 🙌
So great place, camping and son for your mother!!👍👍👍
Thank you! Always a great getting out and spending a little mother and son time 🙌
I love the Cle Elum area and lake. We have friends in Roslyn and we find ourselves visiting frequently. Lots of dirt roads to explore up there so hope to see you get out there.
That’s so cool, great to have friends up that way! I’m often out that direction with how many hiking and 4x4 trails are out there. Just need the snow to melt a little more… haha
Love those pine trees with mountains in the back
A PNW staple, absolutely love it!
Over the first bridge and then right turn and waaay back....I think : )
Good eye 😉👍
Can’t believe a Jeep saved a 4Runner, lol
Noticed how I didn’t mention that… 😉
Just found you folks. Great content!
Appreciate the support, thank you!!
What a beautiful part of the country you live in! Greetings from Florida.
The Pacific Northwest is certainly a beautiful place with the various landscapes! I’ve spent some time in Florida as well, gotta love the difference in sunny days there… 😆😉
Hey I live very close to lake Cle Elum and can tell you that the amount of garbage left behind by the weekend warrior crowd is absolutely disgusting and these places will likely be closed to public access if it continues…. Your videos are awesome but maybe it’d be helpful if people posting this stuff could remind people to pick up after themselves… the locals are really tired of it! Thanks keep up the great work!
@@stopjock14 unfortunately the same could be said for all dispersed camping areas across the country not just here. Best practice is to not only help promote cleaning up through adventure video but also being active in stewardship projects with TreadLightly and Leave No Trace, all of which I’ve personally done and been apart of even with my work. Hopefully these efforts will allow us to continue to enjoy these beautiful places! Thank you for the support and safe travels on your future adventures!
Dang man, would love to know where that spot you found at 5:35 is so I could go shoot some photos there!
I was hoping you would have brought Maverick along for the campsite hunt. great vid as always!
Maverick will always be in tow with Camp Chef Mom, he's getting more used to being on our trips and does fantastic in the car! Thank you for the continued support!
That's awesome, I didn't even know that camp site was there. I have a lot more experience to do in that area.
There is so much to explore out there, especially after all the snow melts! Pull up Gaia GPS and go for it 🤘
It's entirely overrun in the summer
@@TheKPDX just have to know where to look 👀
Always enjoy your quiet local explorations. Good seeing that use of a bridle on your pull. What altitude did you hit snow at?
Thank you so much! The recovery was an easy yet fun ordeal, glad we got them out no problem. We hit snow at about 3,400 ft. but what made it that way for this time of year was all the snow being in the shade. Until our temps in the PNW really warm up we'll be coming across numerous snow patches like this.
@@ConquestOverland We were planning on maybe hitting the portion of the WABDR above Liberty by Lion Rock about a week or two after your trip - we decided to hit Umtanum Ridge instead, figuring that regardless of altitude it is essentially treeless except Oasis Spring and would therefor be snow free. Exactly the reason I like watching local TH-cams. Thanks!
Ley mealea love video you
Great video, I always look forward to the views and information in your content! On another note, how reliable has that Jeep GC Trailhawk been for you on your treks? I am trying to decide between the new 24 Tacoma coming out and the Jeep GC and I know some Jeep owners have reported various issues. Was curious what your experience has been.
Thanks for watching and the support! The GC has been absolutely flawless with been incredibly efficiency for my daily work needs and weekend warrior trips (mileage and range). I will say that overall packing and gear management has been a little challenge with the lesser space compared to the Tacoma but overall I couldn't be happier with the transition. Either way you can't go wrong! The Tacoma will definitely give you more flexibility though if you choose an open bed, rack, canopy, camper, etc. options!
Great video! What bike rack is that??
Thank you! It’s the 1UP bike rack, love that thing! It’s solid even with the heavy eBike and being offroad 👍
are the coordinates of the campsites you've gone to on your Patreon?
What kind of roof rails are you using for the RTT? I have a 2023 Durango and am wanting to get one :)
The Thule WingBar Evo system. Unfortunately not too many rack manufacturers make cross bars for the Grand Cherokee but these ones have worked out great and I can still open my sunroof 😊
Great video!
What action camera did you have on your e-bike?
Thank you so much! I’m just using the DJI Osmo action cameras. They are earlier older models but still work great for my needs 👍
@@ConquestOverland Thank you so much! Hey man, as long as it gets the shot, thats all that matters lol Keep up the great work. I aspire for my channel to be big like yours one day. :)
Hey I saw you have the GSI pinnacle Pro. How are you liking it? I finally got to use mine last weekend on a trip and it did fine, but boil times were quite a bit longer than my old Coleman.
Also, not sure if you mentioned this on your transition to a SUV rig, but had you looked into platform campers before getting rid of the truck? I'm in a 4runner and have been looking at trucks to see if I want to make the opposite move.
Great location BTW, I haven't been camping around lake cle Elum before, I'll have to scope out some spots!
I have multiple cooking options and for this trip it did very well. I use simmer a lot and it’s nice to have that capability. I also like the small footprint as I have much to pack with a 100 lb GS puppy and it stores very well. 😆
@@Campchefmom - Good to hear! I built my low profile drawer/slide out tray system based on the small dimensions of the pinnacle pro, but have heard some negatives from folks using it longer than myself. Only drawbacks I have seen so far are the longer boil times (in relation to my old Coleman) and the right burner not always igniting. Otherwise I really like the small packing size as well.
Before making the switch to the Jeep I had the Tacoma with a GFC (Go Fast Camper) and really enjoyed it! A truck platform by far will give you the most options in terms of build layouts (open bed, canopy, bed rack, campers, etc.). There really isn't too much of a downside in comparison to an SUV but more so of what works for you and your needs. Being that I do not travel full time the Jeep served much better as a daily commuter and weekend warrior vs. the 12 mpg truck fully loaded with all the gadgets and gear. Just have to find out what works for your and how often you plan to be out traveling. Hope that help though let me know if you have any other questions, cheers!
@@ConquestOverland oh for some reason I thought you had the RTT instead of a GFC. It's a good perspective to hear, and something I'm struggling to find between capability, durability, efficiency, and price point. My old 4runner with all my gear gets around 19/20mpg on the highway which is not bad. But I am waiting for some type of hybrid that is still capable, but not incredibly expensive. The 4XE is really interesting, so I'm glad you are showcasing it here.
@@jeepncj7 I've had a few different setups over the years with a soft shell RTT, hard shell RTT, the GFC, and now an iKamper... haha. All have had their pros and cons depending on the vehicle it was on and overall use. I hear you on the balance of a vehicle and setup, for me the Jeep was just that! Can I rock crawl in it, no.... but that's not why I bought it. Here in the PNW most of the roads are all forest service or fire roads that are relatively tame in difficulty so I personally do not need a robust setup to tackle that type of terrain. Go to Moab and of course that's completely different. At the end of the day the 4XE is perfect for using electric only M-F for work and then switch to hybrid with an extended range on the weekend all while having plenty of tech, luxury, and capability. With Toyota just releasing the 4th Gen Tacoma I'm sure they are already in the works for the next gen 4Runner as well, might be something to consider either way. Have fun our there and safe travels!
Can anyone share what trail this was?
Anyone know which screen tent that is? I need one for this summer. Thanks

@@ConquestOverland I like mine VERY much. The wind walls give it alot of added functionality as well.
@@TheKPDX indeed! It’s definitely been a great purchase so far. Mosquitoes always find some so it’s a perfect retreat 😆
@@ConquestOverland My very first trip after I bought it was to Gallagher Head Lake - we first used it for sun protection while eating - then wind kicked up at dinner and we put the wind walls up, then it started to rain. The Gazebo made all the difference in the world
@@TheKPDX that’s awesome to hear, right on! It’s definitely helped with sun and being protected by the bugs this summer, excited to put it through some more uses! 🤘
What brand of E bike and what rack are you using?
M2S eBikes 👍
Quick question. Do you provide any of your waypoints such as this one on your Patreon?
To help keep our areas in a healthy condition without a mass influx of visitors, I unfortunately do not.
I truly believe part of the adventure is discovering places by means of research and simple exploration. I have no interest in profiting of our landscapes by giving away sites that often times lead to closure due to neglect.
However, with our Patreon group I do share more specifics on the area to help narrow down the search! Though I use that platform as a way to give updates behind the scenes, etc. and to help keep making these videos.
Hope you can understand and thanks for watching! 😉👍
PS: if you venture just north of Cle Elum Lake you’ll without a doubt find this area. I
@@ConquestOverland Thank you! Totally get that stance. I've got some Gaia homework to do :-)
@@jeepncj7 the Gaia Overland, USFS 2016, Snow Depth, and Wild Fires are my usual year round layers I use. That paired with Google Earth and you’ll be finding new opportunities in no time!
Have a great weekend!
if i was near you
Come on out! 😉👍
What e bike is that?
M2S 😉👍
So where does the dog sleep?
Maverick usually just sleeps in the backseat of Mom’s Jeep. He’s got a whole hammock dog seat cover thing going on with pillows, blankets, favorite toys, and a nice little cross breeze with the windows cracked open. He’s get priority for sleeping arrangements 😉😆
His choice 😊. I addition to a really nice dog sleep system I have for him in the back seat I also have a wrap that goes over the tent ladder and allows him to be in the tent with me. If in the back seat I also use netting over the Jeep windows so he gets cross breeze from all directions. He is very spoiled. 😂
