Gotta love the desert ! It makes all the things in your head seem very small - a very refreshing change of perspective. I think A desert trip is in my near future. Thanks for the reminder...
You do love a toasted sandwich. In Australia we call them toastie sangas. I know it was probably a joke but m and ms on a sanga???? I laughed when I saw that. Still the best overlanding series on TH-cam.
I was going to say something about the M&Ms as well...of course, if it has been up here in Canada, they would have been Smarties. But then again, M&Ms are a copy of Smarties, which were "cloned" in the 1930s by Forrest Mars after seeing Smarties eaten by British and, I would guess Canadian troops during the Spanish Civil war. Smarties have been made in the UK since 1880's, and Canada since 1918.
@@FarrellMcGovern that's interesting, we have a smarties here in Australia and I had them where I grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand. I like them both but not on a sandwich. I'm not showing my kids this video or they may get some ideas.
@@JC-zt1zu re: not letting your kids see the M&Ms as a sandwich ingredient... VERY SMART!!!! :-) I am guessing that Smarties are available in most former Commonwealth counties. There is a candy in the US called "Smarties", but they are very different, and are what we have in Canada, but are sold under the name of Rockets. Yes, candy naming can be a confusing place....
I had a similar issue in my 2013 jku, lurching, and dash indicators. Also would get milder symptoms like just having the lights flash once or twice, speedo needle jumping, and cruise control kicking off without the lurch. I never had a rough idle though. Ended up being as simple as a bad connection at the negative battery terminal. The clamps are terrible. Anyways, just seemed worth sharing. Absolutely love your videos, I never miss one. Safe travels!
Space, the final frontier! Nothing like a clear star filled night sky. Maybe it's time for a trip to Houston Space Center or Kennedy space center with Cole... Safe travels, Perry
During my time as a Army tanker our tanks used a simular style heater.We had a couple rules when it came to using the heater 1. If we turned the heater on it stayed on for no less than 1 HR. 2. When you turn it off it stays off for at least 1 HR . 3. Avoid running it on high, don't go from high to off let it run on low 30 minutes or so first. 4. Carry a few extra parts igniter ,starter , burn cup, fuel line hose and hoes clamp etc. This may help extend the run time of your heater. Stay safe
Having owned a pizza shop for 35 years. Discovered that the shredded cheese had too much surface area and dries in package. They don’t melt well at all . Used sliced motz you will see the difference. Also takes up less room , no air in sliced cheese.
That's kind of nonsense though. The reason shredded cheese often doesn't melt well is that it is often coated in corn starch to make it not stick together in the bag. Decent quality commercial cheese shouldn't have the coating and will melt fine.
Hey... memories....that green and white fj-55, guessing a 72' is what I learned to drive in. Dad went and sold it to a neighbors kid. I was so peeved I didn't talk to Dad for a month. Had many many great camping trips in very remote areas. Back then it was just called Camping so it cost much less than Overlanding though.
Great video! Though my wife and I tour by motorcycle, and sometimes with our RV, I’m getting some good ideas and inspiration from your posts. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there.
Just a thought....you might want to look into the diesel version of the Webasto heater. As you mentioned, it's purported to be more reliable, and even the cheap chinese knock-offs seem to have decent reviews. Yes, it would require a separate small fuel tank that would have to be placed somewhere, but my main concern would be safety. Running gasoline through plastic tubing....I dunno.....I would have a hard time sleeping with that thing going. Diesel is much, much safer. Flammable, but not explosive. Much harder to light. Leaking diesel is an annoyance. Leaking gasoline is a bomb.
Dude..have been watching you and supporting you from day one..my daughter Hannah and I have always enjoyed your videos...but tonight I got this stupid Bloomberg video...please say that it was not yours
I always enjoy following your adventure when I wake up on the weekend. Following you since the Beginning. it would be very interesting that you go toward Panama. I can even join you from Playa del carmen all the way to Panama City! Don't worry man I will be there to protect you like a brother! I wish we meet in Person one day! Keep going! We love it! Robert
One nice thing about Jeeps is the fact that there are an infinite amount of third party add-ons available. The down side is there can be problems such as with your heater. However, I do admire your attitude and problem solving techniques when problems arise. You adapt, persevere, and overcome; with a successful solution as an end result. Great episode Chris. Glad you had a great time.
Everyone who drives a Jeep should have that mans phone number lol. Lucky lucky lucky. The normal process for most folks is, get the Jeep towed, wait for an appointment, wait three months and endure numerous incorrect diagnosis, pay a whole bunch of money and possibly never get the Jeep right again.
Great fun, camping with like minded folks. I miss the smell of a group campfire, everyone talking at once and all the different conversations going on . Haven’t been around a campfire since last October, Great stuff Chris. Thank you
Lucky you, it was just a loose electrical connection. Last year, when I was driving back to Seattle from Glacier NP, my transmission blew while passing someone at a mountain pass near the Montana-Idaho border. I had to replace the transmission, which cost me $6k and without my JKUR for a month.
Fantastic video!! I've never heard of American Adventurist... definitely going to look into them. It's more my speed. Where I'm at, seems all folks want to do is sling mud and climb rocks.. Also, subbed 👍
Your videos are awesome. Love the footage and your super upbeat personality! A few random questions: 1) do you have an alarm or video surveillance security system for your rig? (Fearful or anyone stealing your gear or breaking into your car when you’re out on a trail?). If so what system do you use? 2) Thanks for the great mechanical tip when car was sluggish! How did you know where to find what part to unplug? (Did they send you a photo or video?). 3) I like the black table and chair you’re using? What brand is it and where do you store it when not in use? Does it fit on the roof rack? 4) what brand roof top tent do you have? Or is this the Ursa minor? (What a dream!).
the area where you camped and hiked looks like a remote area where my husband and i camped before it was called overlanding in 1995. the old roads, concrete remnants, and metal were from general patton's desert training center used around 1942. it was extensive - according to wikipedia: it stretched from the outskirts of Pomona, California eastward to within 50 miles of Phoenix, Arizona, southward to the suburbs of Yuma, Arizona and northward into the southern tip of Nevada. where we camped, the concrete slabs were from barracks.
Hi Chris I've been following your videos for a while and I'm building my overland truck now as I've told you before my flatbed is being built now and my camper is pretty much ready to go on it about 8 more weeks I just want to ask you if you ever have to put your Jeep in 4 wheel drive I haven't seen many spots in your videos where I would have had to put my truck in 4 wheel drive I've been 4 wheeling for over 30 years now and I'm not going to put a winch on my truck to start my adventures I follow many overlanders and most don't really need one as far as I can see I would love your opinion
The more I watch your excellent videos the more envious I am of the amount of space you have to play in. Here in the UK we could never do anything like you’re doing without a group throwing all the toys out of the pram.
With an appetite like that Chris may be a little stoner hippy. Living in a vehicle and being so nice isn’t helping his case... just messing loving it all.
As much as i like your channel there is an aspect that i dislike very much and that is that you don't communicate back with your audience in the comments. Glad you posted late better then never
This dude produces high quality content with numerous time-consuming camera set ups. It costs the viewer nothing to watch and enjoy his efforts. So who gives a f*ck if he doesn’t want to engage? Most just respond with cut and paste “Thank You” comments anyway.
It is not discourteous for Chris not to respond to comments. He chooses to spend time creating great content, not answering questions about where he bought his damn sandwich maker. If you want a best friend just move on, as John Bell suggested. Venture 4WD is not going to lose his subscribers because he doesn’t chit chat.
I’d say a big part of it for him is how much he is traveling and off-grid. It’s a lot easier for Trail Recon and Coyote works to comment and answer comments because they are at home a huge portion of the time. He is always out.
Thanks for picking up someone else’s trash. If everyone were to do this, the world would be a better place.
Amen.
great food, great friends, and great travel. It was a great week
Nice midweek treat to watch this episode!!!
Chris: I’m just going for something light and easy
Chris: *throws m&ms on sandwiches
Okay Guy Fieri 👨🍳
Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
I liked that little Renegade with the roof top tent. Was thinking of getting a roof top like that for my little Renegade Trailhawk.
Another enjoyable video. Great. Vehicle top tents are big in Australia I found out, Crocodiles....seem to be good here too. Thanks
Great idea showing the aftermath of the event. Way to show the core values of a adventure overlander 👍
Gotta love the desert ! It makes all the things in your head seem very small - a very refreshing change of perspective. I think A desert trip is in my near future. Thanks for the reminder...
Great video Chris..
Thank you. 👍🙏👏🇺🇸

I can look at stars all night. Give the "Sky Map" app a try, really neat for viewing constellations and planets.

in all your overland journies you eat far better than i do :)
Wow glad you posted Chris. Better late than never. I was getting a little worried about you. Good to see your alright.
Tuko829 he said last week in the video he was going to b a little late this week
Yeah but he said Monday not Tuesday at 1 am 🤣🤣

In Chris Farley's day it was called sleeping in a van down by the river!
There's no place like the southwest deserts!

M and M’s........🤣
Ok I’m inspired....I want pizza....a lunchable pizza
Hey mate great vid!
What’s that foldable sandwich toaster brand? Been looking for something like that but never found.
Cheers
Don’t understand the fuel heater, you’re less than 1000 feet above sea level.
Hi Cris, how much your expenses for a week of traveling ( gas and food)..thanks
Nice to see you with like-minded people.
Looks like you’re outside of Blythe California
Hit thumbs up before even seeing the video.
Always

What brand is that sandwich maker? Where can I get one? Thanks...
Survival Elite I want to know as well! Let us know Chris!
For a second I thought it was the "Best made Co." Sandwich maker.
The Sandwich maker is a Snow Peak Tramezzino.
@@justinpitcairn79 Thanks !!

Hey Chris...did you JKUR throw any codes when it had the issue while passing...? I have a similar issue with mine. Thanks!
I’ve been binge-watching your videos. Marvelous content. On a side note; it’s amazing how many mylar balloons you find!
Chris...have been watching your videos for years. But Dude I am happy you now have a travel partner..Jeep on brother
M&M’s on your sandwich?!
Yeah, the only way to eat any sandiich.
That Jeeps done time for a Toyota

Based off history, I'm guessing those weren't multivitamins he put in that sammich
Just wanted you to know that I watch your videos on x1.5 speed. Very entertaining.
It ain't much, but it's honest work.
Chris!! Your diet buddy!! Please clean that up! Great episode though!!
The more I watch your excellent videos the more envious I am of the amount of space you have to play in. Here in the UK we could never do anything like you’re doing without a group throwing all the toys out of the pram.
Great to see that campground left spotless! There’s no excuse for leaving garbage and a mess behind!
Chris. You seem to be happier in a solo environment. Safe travels buddy.
Do you know the brand of the sandwich maker?🇨🇦
Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures Chris!
Chris, tell me those were NOT m&m chocolates you put on that sandwich!
You should have a code reader if you don't have one $15 on ebay works thru you phone or tablet. They are small and take up no space.
Chris, will you be at 4wheeler expo March 7 and 8 in Costa Mesa?
With an appetite like that Chris may be a little stoner hippy. Living in a vehicle and being so nice isn’t helping his case... just messing loving it all.
That pizza crunch almost sounds fake it was so perfect lol.
Love the van man, pullin a jeep with a decked out van, doesn't get any better than that.
Who makes your sandwich warmer? Lol
I love it! The humor is awesome.
Good times, great video...
I never would have thought to put M&M's on a sandwich.
Was watching a video on the El Camino Del Diablo trail might be one to check out
Where I can get the sandwich maker with foldable handle?
Taco Bell in Southern CA should be a crime

M&M's in da samich- yer my hero...LOL...
Odd finding those shells there. Wonder how that happened?
I should be there putting on a seminar!
😂😂😂😂 wtf with the smarties 😂😂 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Contact "Trail Recon" it would be an awesome collaboration.
or don't.
This is miles better.
You need a camera that will come to you when you whistle.
Crowds? No thanks...
You eat like a teenager. It's gonna catch up to you.

Great milkshakes in Quartzsite!!!
Dude you're a pro at cooking!!
