V14E10: Desert Detour in Western Nevada

- While the Jeep undergoes repairs over holidays, Shannon and I continue traveling south through Nevada's backcountry in the foothills of the eastern Sierra Mountains. We start just south of Carson City and wind our way through Toiyabe National Forest, putting the Winnebago Revel to the test, and set off on foot to explore canyons rich with history and scenery.

I for one like that your content is evolving with your situation and including Shannon and the van more. Sure, once the jeep is fixed, explore and bring us along. But continue to share both of you together AND Finnigan more to round out everything. my 2 cents.
The shot of the two of you by the fire! Priceless!
I am glad that Shannon is comfortable enough to be on camera. I hope that you two continue to enjoy adventures together.
Hi Chris, I liked this video because your partner has had more participation, she is very sweet, she has a nice smile and she makes adventures more enjoyable
Shannon looks to be a great cook-you should let her do this and you can film it-out in the backcountry a home cooked meal is a godsend and many others will love to see this.
Living in the now-soggy Pacific Northwest, with no travel plans for the coming months, it's a real treat to spend some time in the high desert with you. As always, thanks for not spoiling the natural sounds or silence of these beautiful places, or the intimate feeling of the video, with added music.
Great to see you both enjoying exploring together. I remember in one of your videos a few years ago, you said how much you wanted someone to share your adventures and experiences with. Well now you have and you look so much happier for it 🙂. I'm really happy for both of you and long may you enjoy a life of shared experiences.
I love this! You Guys are great together! If there is one thing I have learned in all my travels experiences, it's better when shared with someone!
Your channel has changed. Best van episode so far and it has to be nice to have someone to share the views with. Not that I'm recommending you don't go off on your own with the Jeep. That's what started me on your channel however many years ago it was. Seeing Shannon in your video's is much better than the mystery woman thing in the beginning. Hope the Jeep comes back soon.
It was great to get to know Shannon a little more. You two make a great duo. I love having a Saturday evening of watching your adventures.
Just echoing what others have said, I really enjoy watching the both of you adventuring together.
I’ve been watching you from when you first started and I have to tell you I am really enjoying the latest videos when you have Shannon in the van. Thanks
There are a ton of awesome national parks in the Sierra Nevada's. Enjoy, can't wait to see next week's episode. Nice to see you guys enjoying life. Safe Travels and God Bless!
shannon, is great and so good to see her beside her eppic cooking and cutie dog , was wondering if she was ever going to be in any footage .. , good for her and good for you too , awesome guys ...
Wonderful to see you exploring together.
Thank you Shannon and Chris for a wonderful video 😎👍
Love the new direction and your girl! Keep it up!
Great episode, beautiful scenery, I love Nevada. Enjoying the evolving dynamic of the channel...keeps things interesting. 👍
Yeah Shannon's quite nice I'm surprised you kept her from us for such a long time she brings something to the channel I don't know what it is but it's there. 👍👍😀🇨🇦
How I wish there was an Arabic translation
This will bring you more fans of adventures across the desert
I hope you read my comment
Loving the new "format" and the food scene was a nice change🤣🤣🤣
Seriously, you guys rock together! 😉
You two complement each other very well. I like how this is turning out. Best of luck to the both of you. And God bless Orangie.
A winch on the front of the Revel would eliminate 90% of the chances of you finding yourself stuck while alone in the backcountry.A good recovery kit will also help.
I have been to that particular hot spring in my truck, 1st gen Toyota Tundra 4WD, It was scary going down, even more so going up. Lot's of off camber spots with drop offs. Glad you guys did not try it in the van! How the school bus got down to the bottom is a mystery. You guys missed the actual hot spring. It is clean, nicely developed.
And orangey
You need the Jeep back in action
she really does add to and makes your videos more life like and better.
Awesome video, good to see you both in the video!
3:00 mark, that's called watching a real "Fire TV" :) Really enjoying your videos, and I'm definitely leaning toward the Revel in the near future!
Great episode! It’s fun watching you interact with each other.
Nice to see ya sharing the adventure. vids sure show some limitations and/or capabilities of a van vs off road jeep
Great video Chris keep them coming
Sprinter much more roomy and Jeep much more nimble . I use Wrangler in winter and Sprinter in summer fall. I do enjoy the Sprinter though in rough conditions Jeep shines. Chains always a must
Great video, nice to have Shannon there!
You guys are great together 😀
Sorry chris, but your channel has finally jumped the shark. My wife and I have watched you almost from the beginning and enjoyed all the outdoor adventures, but non-stop date night is more than we can handle.
Can't wait for Orangy to be back
With risk mitigation how about buying a set of chains for the beast? If you get in a situation where traction is lost, you will have that backup for peace of mind. Cheers 👍🏻🙏🏽🦘
I am really happy you seem to have found your true companion y’all look so happy together everyone needs someone to share their life with.that being said you was once the king of overlanding but it is now time for you to handoff this title the adventure is no longer forward but where it belongs around the one you love ⛺️
Very nice video... although I do miss Orangy
You’re so cute together
I love this type of episodes
Still love the solo Chris ones too
I’m guessing it’s Death Valley coming up eh ? This is the best time of the year to go, with the Winnebago... what’s ITS name ? 😎
Bout time for a winch on that van...
Any update on the Jeep? We all just need you to be back out there solo traversing and flexing, it's just time!
Great video thank you!
great trip
DVNP? almost 1,000 miles to explore. Well, not in the Revel. Getting to the Race Track will blow a shock or two. Did on my new JLR anyway.
Beatty is a cute town. Watch out for donkeys! Rhyolite is a must see on your way to Death Valley.
Lots of cool places to see in Death Valley, where I presume you are heading.
LOL! Just did a fast trip down through Austin, Tonopah, Goldfield and Beatty on the way back to Flagstaff. Was thinking, “I wonder if Chris and Shannon have done this area?” It is really pretty awesome.
Enjoyed the content, yall keep up the great work!
Unless I missed it I didn't hear an update on the Jeep's current status. I sure hope the Jeep doesn't get the Chuck Cunningham treatment and bounce a basketball over to the shop, never to be mentioned again.
Looking good, keep on keeping on! Enjoy your videos. Hope you get Orangey back soon? ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️😊
Yay!
ahh man you really need orangie back!
Guy! Skipping over the night stuff a no no
now that's cool ... the two of you together on productions ... thanks you two... Shannon and Chris! The lack of confidence in the van getting back out of a canyon ... sounds like you need to take both rigs on a few treks to know it's limitation s better!
Yeah that bus made it down there , no problem.
Next video , fire it up and drive it out of there.
Nice
Great to see both of you in this video. We notice Chris eats much better when he is with Shannon. Not as many meals of stovetop pizza, pizza bought in town or leftover pizza!
Or a massive amount of spaghetti
Chris and Shannon you guys rock. I know that once the jeep is back you will have some solo trips again. however you two have great chemistry. it would be awesome for you two to continue this type of content as well. Keep up the great work. and keep the rubber side down.
Looks like the new Revels start at around 175,000 and go up as you add accessories. Would a 4x4 truck and 4wheel camper be a more economical way to get out there for us that can't afford this type of vehicle?
Undoubtedly. A jeep platform with an older JK with Ursa Minor can be had for as little as 35K. I figure that a 4wheel camper on a proper truck is going to be at least 60K for new ones - less if you get everything used - possibly 100K for a new truck and 4wheel camper
You mentioned that the vegetation was too thick for the van,
Now I'm just gonna spend ya money for you, but you could wrap it in a clear wrap that has self healing ability,
3M make this stuff,
Love ya Chanel but it's been a while since I've watched as you may tell from me commenting on such an old episode,
Anyway keep up the good work you 2.
👍🇦🇺
My iPad wanted to know how long to set the timer…
Shannon is a hit wearing my favorite gear by Marmot...lol
Love the Chris kick to the tire, just speaks “durability” lol jk
Shannon is a cutie, especially when she said about puckering. LOL!
Ok,someone tell me,would Orangy be able to winch the van if it ever got stuck?or is it too heavy?
Possible with a tail strap on Orangie.
So what exactly was wrong with Orangey? What will be the remedy? Thanks!
New crate motor. Shop quoted several weeks for completion. So, most likely Orangey won‘t make an appearance until early next year.
Right back to the desert 🙄. Seems like you would get tired of the same old rocky dirt with no grass or trees.
There is probably a reason that school bus is still down there….couldn’t make it back out.
My thought, exactly, LOL.
Still getting use to you in a van!😂 ☕
Hummmm…
23 comments positive, 1 negative…
Well there’s always gotta be someone.
Always, such a shame people don’t care about his happiness!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Chris
What does MOB mean as in “down to Mob”
All I can find is man over board
Anyone?
It's weird watching Chris eat real food instead of the the junk he puts together in Orangie lol. I much prefer Shannon's plates!
Not sure about these u-joints…HA!
You 2 are awesome
Do you ever plan to take your travels beyond North America? I would love to see you explore around Iceland for a couple months. My wife, daughter and I rented a 4x4 VW camper van in the summer of 2019 for a couple weeks, it was so amazing. I think you guys could make some really awesome videos there.
Thanks for that comment - I would like to see him roam more broadly too.
Just so you know (if you don't), CheezIt is made by Kellogg's... Just sayin'.
I’ll be honest. I enjoy just watching the van adventures.
I love u both
Hey Chris, another great video, mate!! Just a thought: paint the Revel orange and calling her “Orangy 2”. You’re no longer a solo traveller my friend, it would be a fitting transition into your new life. Of course, it would never work as you both have your own ways or at least until the new Bronco comes in, eh?
I like both of u exploring.
🙋💕
This is probably my favorite episode so far. I love the dynamics between you two. I hope Shannon keeps appearing in future videos. BTW, just a thought, venture4wd could morph into more of an offroad Revel 4x4 show with occasional side trips with Orangy whenever it comes back. Looking forward to more content!
Yeah, sell Orangy and continue in the Revel as the adventures of Chris and Shannon.
I think my new dream and goal is to have a 4x4 Sprinter setup like “Living the Van Life”. that rig is capable of going so many places and being off grid.
She should have been on camera narrating a long time ago. I feel cheated. 🤣🤣
What was in the sky at 10:15 sec?
When you told Siri to set the timer for 5 min. my iPad obeyed and set the timer.
same.
please bleep out the 'hey siri' command Chris.
Chris, did you audition Shannon before you started dating her? She's a natural...
Enjoy seeing Shannon.
That van is all looks not for that level of exploration.
I'm just concerned about Finnegan. He looks so cramped and uncomfortable and if you both are wearing coats all the time wouldn't he be cold too?
Don’t say “Hey siri…” or bleep it out or something. Siri isn’t that smart and 2 of my HomePods set 5 minute timers
You two are adorable
dont like the way your channel is going cant watch
Don’t
True…. Watching Chris for three years and this is the happiest I’ve ever seen him. Such a shame, and how dare him be happy….🙄
@@2008jjba I don't think his happiness has anything to do with the channel's content. You must be driven by feelings. Nothing wrong with that, we need herbivores. Adventure4WD is just what the title suggests. A person's happiness is the last thing I look for in adventure content. Although I agree with Ronald, his channel has taken a turn since his new relationship. Again, there isn't anything wrong with that. It's his channel and it's his choice what direction it goes. I can only speak for myself but, I liked Adventure4wd when it was just him. I think by adding a partner into the channel the content changes. If he made another channel that focused on both of them and their adventures " together " it would gain more video views geared to couples. This channel could then focus on just Chris and his jeep. No, I need to race back to camp, van, curfew, dog, or girlfriend. On a side note, if that is you singing in those videos you have one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
I'm very glad you have found someone you have so much in common with. Does she have a sister? JK
