V8E1: Kicking Things Off in Pisgah

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ม.ค. 2020
- A new year of adventure begins! This episode kicks off in Pisgah National Forest, on the outskirts of Asheville, North Carolina. While OK4WD finishes up work on my Jeep, I do some exploring around Linville Gorge in their Alu-Cab equipped Toyota Tacoma. I visit Asheville Vehicle Outfitters, and enjoy a succulent pizza in the River Arts District. If you've never watched venture4wd before, this episode provides some introduction and backstory!

Middle aged IT guy here starting my professional breakdown. This episode hit close to home
Don’t wait to breakdown to change direction! 😋
Gotta get out and explore somewhere!
Elderly IT guy here...Might think about something I did:
Moved to teaching! Local area Career and Technical H.S. hired me on the spot.
I teach intro courses in networking (Cisco Networking Academy) and CompTIA A+.....Work 180 days/year and have almost three months off in the summer for .....playing. There is a shortage of instructors in many locations. Pick the location that suits you and check it out.
As soon as my youngest is in college, I will have flexibility to do a lot of things. Not sure what drove Chris in the new direction, but I bet it has a lot to do with how things change and quite frankly I don’t have the drive or desire to change with it at this point. At least with my current employer. Sometimes you do what you have to do at the moment I don’t have to do that it will be a glorious day
You are a loser ! ..... just trying to help ..😬
"In the spirit of avoiding death, i bailed." Its like van life, but way funnier.
I think I would have tried some rope or string and a piece of bent wire as a hook to retrieve the mic, if I had such with me.
Please don't change your filming, smiling and speaking style when you get viral or popular. Don't be like other youtubers who get too fancy and different when they reach a lot of subscribers.
You are the best. Wish you health, happiness and a lot of adventures!
Many thanks for Sharing

“Lest it take flight” that one made me LOL. Cheers Chris!
"In the spirit of avoiding death, I bailed." A motto to live by.
New year, old habits = spaghetti with tomato sauce and spinach. Welcome back, Chris!
That's a funny looking Jeep 😂
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS SCENERY VIEWS VIDEO ! DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE TO WATCH LITTLE ONES THERE & YOUR PETS . LOOKS LIKE AN AWESOME PLACE TO VISIT & EXPLORE ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Welcome back Chris!
I love that Tacoma!
Love the Tacoma, but looking forward to the Jeep. Thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year Chris, glad to see your back, been having withdrawal symptoms for the last few weeks.
You saw his back? I wouldn’t be glad about that.
Your videos are infinitely more intellectually satisfying than those of van life. My proof is the the patreon...meaning, we support you and not they. I look forward to the return of your Jeep. This is a great video as always; Amy, Bella and I enjoyed it. Happy Trails!
Wow! I’m a 44 year old guy, I’ve been a merchant mariner for 12 years. I’m at my whits end. I’ve been working on my 1st gen Tacoma for the past few years getting ready to sell the house and go full time. I can’t wait! Also, I live about 40 min. From Wiseman’s view. Loved it on that road! Lot of good campsites. Liked and subscribed.
So good to have you back Chris! I love your channel and I'm looking forward to all the new adventures in 2020!
Happy New Year! Glad to have you back.
Happy new year, full with new adventures. Good to have you back on TH-cam. Hope you had a great time with your family and enjoyed spending time with your son. Looking forward to see the jeep and the new improvements. Take care, safe trips.
👏👏👏👏he’s back!! great to see you again!!
Welcome back and happy 2020 to you. Here’s to more new adventures.
Great to have you back, hope you had a great break. Looking forward to another year of your travels.
Yes, let's go on an adventure. We are looking forward to another year of watching your amazing videos and, witnessing your wonderful travels.
Oh man you had me busting up in the first minute. Life is kicking me in the butt right now. Your videos are a weekly reminder to live life at its fullest! I recently bought a Tacoma and plan to take my family out and have some fun. Thank you
Great to see you back on the trail. A new year of journeys around the states. Can’t wait to see where and what you have for us. Can’t believe how fast 3 years went by.
I like the conversation, very informative, and the flashbacks to the rescues at those various spots.
Welcome back, missed you :). Happy, safe new year to you and your family.
Happy New Year Adventures, Chris. Good to see you back on the road.Have a great 2020.
Saturday morning coffee and venture4wd. Great to have you back in the saddle again. Happy 2020 to you!
Good to have you back Chris! I’m sure 2020 will be another awesome year for adventure!
Enjoyed this first episode... Excited for all of your new content for 2020...
Awesome stuff as usual. Excited to see where you're heading to out west.
Glad to see you back! Happy new year
Glad to have you back, from Quebec.
Good to see you back at it and I look forward to seeing where 2020 takes you! Happy trails!!!
Glad to see you back on TH-cam. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Chris! All the best in your 2020 adventures!
Great to see you back om your adventures
Great episode. As always enjoyable and peaceful.
Chris, Glad to see you back in the saddle. Wishing you a great year!
Ohhh yeah venturing4wd once again. I stumbled upon your channel about halfway through season 1 and have been enjoying ever since. Safe travels in 2020, can't wait to share in the adventure.
Love your vids. You sir are literally living my dream.
John Walker
I think a lot of us who watch these videos can say the same. I know that I definitely do.
Me too
Me three
Great to have you back Chris! I’ve been with you 2.5 years. I’m so glad you’ve finally added the most basic creature comfort (heat). Keep up the great work - looking forward to seeing the new boat - I’m an inflatable convert 👍🏼👊🏻
Happy New Year Chris. As always, enjoyed your inspired exploring video content and I have added some new waypoints in my GPS to explore Asheville on my next trip down that way. Following you for the past couple of years and supporting on Patreon has inspired me to outfit my Subaru Outback for exploring. Although I don’t live out of my Subaru, my job takes me all over the eastern half of the US and Canada so rather than taking airplanes, I take my Outback and explore along the way. Thank you for the inspiration to explore and wishing you continued safe travels. Cheers.
Great video Chris...
Thank you.
Yes this was my first time finding you and I appreciate you describing your channel of the beginning.
I will be viewing regularly
Chris, you sould show the nice places in the nature, like waterfalls, creeks, views from mountain tops some seconds longer! Just a little bit longer, to give us an opportunity to enjoy these wonders. That's one of the main reasons why I go overlanding: to see and enjoy the beauties of nature. That's one of the main reasons why I watch your channel: you show me beautifull places, from which some are unreachables for me. (at least for now). Otherwise, your channel is superb, keep goin', we love you! A fan from Europe, Hungary.
Glad you're back. I'll be even happier when the Jeep is back in your life. lol
Good to see you back. Can’t wait to get another year started. Your friend in Pennsylvania.
Chris, like many others, I've been to all of these beautiful locations, hiked them, camped there and enjoyed the beautiful Pisgah National Forest areas! Thanks for sharing - great memories!
Hey Chris thank you for the excellent content! Best wishes.
Awesome work Chris. Glad to see all is well!
Totally hooked & binge watching all your vids
Happy to have you back Chris, we missed you! 🤘🏻
Great video. Really liked the testimonial for the first few minutes. Reflecting back on where this all started.
Good VLOG Chris…30-35 years back I spent a lot of my free time up there in the Pisgah area and all along the Blue Ridge Pkwy up into Virginia. Did some "wheeling"…along with lotsa of camping; and I was involved in Volunteer Ground Search & Rescue (in my spare time)…so there was lotsa training trips into the wild as well as a multitude of actual real-world searches and vertical rescue of climbers who had fallen, etc. Watching this video and seeing all the rhododendron bushes along your hiking trails, brought a flood of memories for which I've just gotta say "thanks"!!
Nice, did not expect this video, have been catching up on old ones I haven't seen, BONUS!
Hi Chris , hope you enjoyed your holiday ,but now it’s time to get your nose back to the grindstone entertaining us !
Great to have you back , drive safe and mind the ditches 👍🏽
All those squeaks would drive me insane.
Happy 2020 Chris! Welcome back! Wish your ' Rubicon' is back soon !
We all love what you do now Chris. Keep it up as long as you can/want.
OMG. You are in my next of the woods. I’ve been following you for the last two years and have watched all of your vids (most of them twice). Hope you enjoyed it here. Keep the vids coming and be safe out there on the trail!
Happy New Year, sir. Glad you're back and taking us along on your adventures. Looking forward to 2020 and all that you have to show us. My wife says thank you as well. Says thankful I will no longer be pouting on Saturday morning while having coffee! Guess that's just a way of saying you were missed these past few weeks.
Linville Gorge is my fav spot. Its magical there! so much fun! spent many nights in the gorge and down by the river, you found a gem!
Digging this! Very Cool and good work. Thank you for doing all of this.
Nice that you are back. See the truck,Oh he did trade. That was very beautiful country you was in. Tks for the ride.
Sooo happy to see someone finally i. My neck of the woods. The Appalachian mountains are so awesome! Everyones always in The North west
Man that’s our stomping ground my wife and I four wheel there all the time. We really enjoy your show. 😎
Ah Chris great to see you back at it. Hope you had a great Holiday season and the New Year came in well for you. I look forward to where the road will lead this season with you as our humble guide. Perhaps North and South Dakota can make it into your itinerary. There are some beautiful parks up there awaiting your visit.
Nice to have you back Chris. 👍
Happy new year Chris! Great video and I’m looking fwd to following the new adventures in this new season. Cheers from Austin, TX.
I'm glad I watched the whole video before spouting off about how your truck is not a Jeep. Better to keep my mouth closed and let people think I don't know what I'm talking about than to open it and remove all doubt. Interesting lifestyle.
One of my all-time favorite movies back in the day was "Never Cry Wolf" 1983 starring Charles Martin Smith. It was a film that reached down in my soul as "Tyler" explored the frozen arctic studying wolves and their behavior patterns. Forty years later I still find myself mesmerized by the film and the solitude of exploration by the main character.
When I now clicked on the recommended video for your channel, it was the first one I had ever viewed and almost immediately, I was taken back to similarities I found in "Never Cry Wolf." Your back story had me smiling and released the inhibition of freedom in myself I would have loved to imitate in my own life. Thank you for this channel and I will be looking forward to many new adventures.
Loved this. So many folks that travel full-time and do the RV life. We enjoy the outdoors, camping, hiking, etc. Nice to see some really nice trails and great camping. I caught a few of your very first videos and the beginning of your adventure. Now just catching this video. Missing a bunch in between I need to catch up on. I have to say....the smile on your face says it all. I believe you made the right decision for yourself at this time in your life. You are a happy camper. We are excited to take our camping adventures a step further as well. We just purchased an 80 series Toyota Land Cruiser in 2019. Had some maintenance done mainly so far. Trying to get it set up for some backroads trips. Loved the forest road track you took. Don't want to do anything crazy tuff.....but see some beautiful "off the beaten path" kinda places no matter where we are traveling. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
Only time I have been in Pisgah was mountain phase of Army Ranger School. A grueling "adventure" is an understatement.
I have a dear friend, known him since he was 3. He's now 45. He went to West Point . He did ranger training in north Georgia. You are probably familiar with that post.
Happy New Year! Just watched with my 11 year old daughter and got inspired to plan our next trip. Thanks from Sacramento and look forward to seeing your “out west” adventures.
Great video and welcome back. That Tacoma is saweet. I wanna do a similar setup with my Jeep Gladiator. Safe travels 🤙
Hey it's good to have you back hope you had a good holiday with your family and your son looking forward to your new season for 2020 have a good one.👍👍😀
Happy New 2020 Vision Year !!!! Enjoyed your video, great that you're going west. Danusia
Happy New Year, Glad your back!!
Glad I bought a Jeep. +coffee before anything.
Happy to have found your delightful videos again, looking forward to your trip Out West, hope you make it up here to Alaska, the greatest adventure of them all!
It was indeed to us from eastern Canada during our 18,000 km. trip to Seward and back last summer. Now we just want to go for another Alaskan adventure soon.
Happy New Year Sir!! Catching up on some venture4wd.
Hurricane creek trail is a fun little ride. i only live a few hours from it, nice video and happy new year too ya.
Happy New Year. Can’t wait to see where you end up this year. Waaayyy toooo much green food in this episode.
Happy New Year to you Chris were all happy here at home that you are back,we missed you, your our part of family tradition now, every weekend our family we all get together to watch you on you tube, my husband my son my brother my mom, i wish you well and we all praying for your safety and good health this year.
The Toyota had lots of real estate on it -- a home away from home ! I’m looking forward to seeing the new additions on the Jeep too ! Thanks for taking us along and I hope you get more Patreons to support the journey . The Way markers are worth the money 😎
Very good episode btw. I love the content and the diversity of the images, the themes, the points of view and the ideas conveyed in your work. I also admire your video editing skills to drive the story. Very inspiring content. Thank's! I just realize that I am a fan, now! 🙂
I envy you. I wish I could do the same. At this moment all I can do is watching your videos. Have fun
I don't really have to go where you're going, just watch your video and I'm already there with you wherever you go, you did good I really enjoying watch your video thanks for sharing
Love your channel Chris 👍👍👍 oh yes have to say that Rig fits you perfectly ✌
Thanks for the mileage report on the JK. I knew it had to be around 150,000 miles or more. Glad you are getting a gas heater put in that should help a lot. I know you don't want these videos to be about the Jeep but, I do enjoy hearing about how it is doing and what type of repairs you have to make. I can't wait to see the jeep again.
You do a great job with the published videos and I know it takes a lot of time to edit all the raw footage.
I have made some purchases over the internet from OK4WD (thanks to you) and they are great to deal with.
Thanks for taking us along
Happy new year
Look forward to next week
Great video brother , safe travels
Nice to have you back:)
Happy new year. Glad your back.
Asheville is a bucket list town for me. Excited to watch you come back out West, though!
Happy new year Chris, good to see your back into the swing of it. All the best for the year ahead from Oz
Waiting on this like Pookie at the Carter. Glad you're back!
Great video!👍
HAPPY NEW YEAR and save travels
Welcome back Chris! You’ve been missed!
