Good thing you decided against going around the back side of Mono Lake. The sand is very soft and very deep. I have seen Jeeps buried to the rocker panels out there. I am glad to see this area again as you explore, thanks...
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS SCENERY VIEWS VIDEO ! AWESOME VIDEO ! DIFFERENT AREAS DIFFERENT SOIL & DEPENDING UPON THE SEASONS & WEATHER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS PROBLEMS YOU COME ACROSS DRIVING WISE ? BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !
I really enjoy these videos. You and Jen make a great team. Keep Jen as a regular. A big plus I notice also is that she cooks healthy and you......not so much lol.😀😸
Ditto! additionally, it would be really cool to hear something from Jen on her photography, techniques, motivations, etc. that go into not only Mondays with Monty, but also her current photo Project. this VBlog has really grown and matured and its great to see where you continue to take it. Great job, Chris!
Wow! You're in my old stomping grounds. I was stationed in Victorville years ago. My brother keeps his humongous travel trailer in a campground near Mammoth the entire summer season. My favorite activity at Mono Lake was windsurfing. Brother Joe and I trout fished at Twin Lakes. My youngest brother lives off of 395 in a golf community.
Beautiful! I'm about an hour south east of Tahoe in NV so your in my stomping grounds. :) Good time to be up there before it gets too crowded. Lots of fantastic areas to check out. What direction are you headed next?
Somehow this needs to be said. A lone woman crossing the country teams up with a non-threatening man. A very pragmatic solution for the woman. They both gain in this exchange. This is Venture4wd. It is an adventure forward. Both of these people are on their own separate adventure forward with paths that happen to coincide for a brief time. Throw romance, real or imagined, into an adventure and it becomes a soap opera. I've noticed similar examples in the last 6 months. There is Ben Brown. There is iamjake. This takes men by surprise every time. (Obscure reference -- Dorothy Lintott’s compound adjective comes to mind.)
Spectacular views and filming. Most common remark you get however I do not believe people realise how much forwarding and backwards you go to achive this. Bravo. Be well.
from that entrance you can go quite some ways on beautiful roads till you hit any obstacles, i think heart attack hill being the first. our 2012 skeletoad sticker is missing its head the other below was from 2016. its definately a rough trail, the 4 doors go a lot slower than the the 2 doors, its pretty tight in places.
Just discovered your channel, absolutely amazing. Might I say though; your resemblance to Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) from American Psycho is uncanny. Both physically and in your mannerisms. Other than that, I'm excited to follow you on your journey! Keep it up!
Hey guys, didn't see the bird there at the lake but judging by the sound it was probably a stellar jay. Also wonder if you've looked into easier way to use you water pax...www.gowesty.com/product/fuel-water-storage/24473/spout-kit-for-rotopax-water-container Safe travels
I wasn't trying to offend anyone about the cooking question just curious I'm very envious of you guys I can't travel like that I was diagnosed in 2013 and in 2014 diagnosed with stomach cancer have had 3 surgeries for that and just lost my leg in August so your videos help thanks
Oh Steve, not sure the question you mention but my HEART is with you. I lost my grandfather to stomach cancer and here to champion you! Stay brave and strong! If you want to talk/share your story PLEASE connect via www.photosthatunite.com would love to listen to your journey. Much love your way.
I have a photo of me at mono lake dating back to 1999/2000 A truly stunning location. You're not a million miles from a TeePee village close to Yosemite NP. I have a photo of that too 👍
Hey you know something I’d like to see in a future video? How do you climb up into the Ursa Minor and replace the platforms so you can sleep? Feels like it might be a complicated game of shifting things back and forth... is it?
If there’s mud on the road you can drive on it, you’re not going to alter the axis of planet earth if you do. You spoke of it twice that I heard, if you’re not going to drive in the mud on a road for whatever reason you won’t get very far on the Rubicon whether you come in from Tahoe, Loon Lake or Wentworth Springs!
they make portable showers that bolt to the top of your rig and the water heats up from the sun ... you can pressurize them with a bike pump or your air compressor they work really well ... just a thought
We like the pressurized roof-mounted showers! That would be super-convenient. I do carry a Nemo Helio pressurized shower bag, which I love... it’s just been too cold lately. It’ll warm up soon and showers will become A LOT easier and more frequent!
I saw you dip your head and soak your feet in the creek, and was thinking I bet you wish you had hot water right about now ... cool video! if you're going to be around Reno for a while, I recommend the Atomic Bootlegger for cocktails and great bar food ... and tell Trudy I say hi!
I happened onto your videos somewhere in the middle of your journey. I was so moved by them, that I found the beginning, and have been following you since. Very entertaining, but please Chris, with all due respect. Take it from me, a born and raised Nevadan. It’s pronounced Ne-VA-da. NOT Ne-VAW-da. 😩
You need to get rid of the stock driveshafts yesterday! That clicking noise you hear that you didn’t seem to be to worried about is normally the front driveshaft created by the compound angle. The big problem is highway speeds, I’ve seen the results of people having destroyed the front driveshaft at highway speeds and it’s not pretty. TFC, trans crossover pipe etc etc! Warranty doesn’t cover it! Eastern Sierras are beautiful, during my nearly 62 years in Ca (before I escaped) I spent 3-4 trips a year up there beginning with my dad in the early 50’s. I haven’t been on the Rubicon since 2006 but have run it 30 plus times, you will enjoy it! Check out the Dusy Ershim trail on the West side also.
dunderland241 noticed that too...the dog was too damn excited and familiar with this guy. Then at bar she cozied right up next to buddies ass then his next shot is of the two of them walking ahead of him as if he wasnt even there. Yea, buddy knocking that out.
Janice!!!! Watching old videos and loving them. Safe travels Chris.
Great channel Chris. Thanks for great content
What is this, like a dozen Venture4wd videos today, yeah I’m hooked. Great content and two wonderful hosts.
Good thing you decided against going around the back side of Mono Lake. The sand is very soft and very deep. I have seen Jeeps buried to the rocker panels out there. I am glad to see this area again as you explore, thanks...

This is by far your funniest video yet. The look on your face when the dog goes after the bag is priceless.
I really enjoy these videos. You and Jen make a great team. Keep Jen as a regular. A big plus I notice also is that she cooks healthy and you......not so much lol.😀😸

Oh man, thanks for bring back some great memories of roaming around there some 40 years go. Great video.
Great video, glad to see Jenn and Monty back!
A channel this good deserves so many more subs
Great to see your country thru the eyes of a guy who lives the real Jeep life. Thnx

Great video guys👍🏼👍🏼
I always wondered about the device that Jen held. I assumed it was a sat phone. Thanks for the info 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Favorite part was the screeching outside that dude's house at the end.
Love your Vizsla and your trip. Rafting roll up tables are great support for Coleman stove and regular height. Fyi
Holy Crap! My dad took me to Twin Lakes in the early 90’s!!!
That was a Steller's Jay at 5:03. They are birds with an attitude.
Jonathan you and Jan look good together🦅
Man, y’all’s videos make me want to head out west tomorrow...
Spectacular views and filming. Most common remark you get however I do not believe people realise how much forwarding and backwards you go to achive this. Bravo. Be well.
Yeah exactly...this has to be a ton of work...given all the great shots he gets....
Loved it! This is my turf.
I feel your pain about the Rubicon Trail. I was in Tahoe a few years back. We took my wife’s 2WD Pathfinder. I didn’t even make it as far as you did.
from that entrance you can go quite some ways on beautiful roads till you hit any obstacles, i think heart attack hill being the first. our 2012 skeletoad sticker is missing its head the other below was from 2016. its definately a rough trail, the 4 doors go a lot slower than the the 2 doors, its pretty tight in places.
We need venture4wd patch. Awesome video as always.
Yeah a sticker would be cool. Maybe the bunkerbranding.com folks could sell it.

FreyTank 26 Lol my exact thought which makes it more awesome.

And the Lord God said, it is not good that man should be alone ;I will make him a help meet for him.
You look happy!😀

Rubicon is for summer ! No way you get through with the snow. No way with any mechanical issues. Rubicon is awesome though...
Love 💕 You Guys!

i think i know why he said it. lol
I believe he did mud in his other vids?
dont worry about inpact and turn around... you missed the best part of the trail by avoiding the mud
Great video😀😀😀😀😀😀
loved it
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for the offer
they make portable showers that bolt to the top of your rig and the water heats up from the sun ... you can pressurize them with a bike pump or your air compressor they work really well ... just a thought
I'm surprised more overlanders in the US don't carry portable showers with them more.
Timothy Rye I remember he had one in the first? Season. .. and one of the clothes washing bags too...
We like the pressurized roof-mounted showers! That would be super-convenient. I do carry a Nemo Helio pressurized shower bag, which I love... it’s just been too cold lately. It’ll warm up soon and showers will become A LOT easier and more frequent!

we still boil a pot of water, got our first shower head and pump combo but yet to use it.
These two are so a couple..
👍😎
Very nice.
I happened onto your videos somewhere in the middle of your journey. I was so moved by them, that I found the beginning, and have been following you since. Very entertaining, but please Chris, with all due respect. Take it from me, a born and raised Nevadan.
It’s pronounced Ne-VA-da.
NOT Ne-VAW-da. 😩
I need some merch!
Monty wants ice cream!!!!!!
I was talking about when I asked why you do all the cooking
Steve Gareau Have you seen what Chris eats when he’s by himself?? That’s why Jen does the cooking. 🤣
Isn’t that a toilet your cooking on top of?
at minute 7.10 about what camera are you using... ? nice trip
The moving water? That would be a Canon 80D with a Sigma 17-50 lens. 🍻
love the quality of it..
no it was when you guys were getting to the park and the dog was running
My wife wants to know if you guys are a couple? I told her what happens in the Jeep stays in the Jeep.
my Jenn n i havin same debate lol
Best! comment! ever! lol

When are you getting the jeep fixed?
Monday 4/30 if all goes according to plan!
venture4wd sorry, I heard that at the end after I sent the message. Love your videos!
Looks like Chris got intimidated of the alpha male. Hence why they Jen and Chris are now splitting up
dunderland241 noticed that too...the dog was too damn excited and familiar with this guy. Then at bar she cozied right up next to buddies ass then his next shot is of the two of them walking ahead of him as if he wasnt even there. Yea, buddy knocking that out.
@@rammerjammer523 You are more gossipy than most women.

should you have dog on leash
