Hey Chris, Nice Video. That's awesome that you got out on Kite Lake in the dark, very cool. We are the ones that flagged you down to chat when you were headed up, as we were headed down into Silverton. Cheers.
Always nice to watch your videos when we can’t get out there for a while. Also because you don’t put music on so we can experience a bit of the serenity of the area. And just hear the sounds of the jeep.
I took my Power Wagon up there last October and camped in the area for a week. A few day-trippers in side-by-sides during the day, but we had the entire area to ourselves at night. The solitude was bliss.
So funny! I got the Seinfeld reference. That was a funny episode. Great show. Always look forward to your weekly adventures. Chris your channel to me is top notch. My favorite channel for sure.
Thank you for being so gracious on sharing you beautiful camping spot. We wanted to say hi, but didn’t want to invade more than we had. Sorry it took so long for us to get the Jeep level. Hopefully our kids weren’t to loud.
It's interesting seeing that you're exploring the very trails I just came back from. CO is a great place for sure. Wish I could have stayed longer. Stoney Pass, Imogene and BBP were my favorite.
Chris, I found the Carr Valley bread cheese in my grocery store and bought some based on your last video. I wonder how many others did the same? Hope you and Shannon are doing well!
Big fan of yours. I ran into a couple more fans at a Panera in Sunset Hills, MO this morning. They were sitting in their jeep that had a rooftop tent. Very small world.
That looks an awful lot like Kite Lake! Absolutely beautiful there. Didnt get a chance to go to it on this year's trip, and honestly we really didn't want the pin stripes on our brand new Rubicon. Next year though!
A great adventure. Hadn’t thought of going out on my kayak at night. Seems it would be kind of scary. Check out the areas around South Park and 11 Mile. Lots of good adventure roads. Should be low smoke this week in Colorado. 🍻
Chris thanks for not hauling through the water, then doing it again in slow motion, then in reverse slow motion, then back through. Nice to see a grown-up every once in a while.
These trips seem to be getting shorter and shorter. Base camp must be something special to race to lately. Showing a fist hand sign at other riders passing you means the trail is clear of riders after you. If you are the point rider in the pack then you would show the number of riders behind you then a fist. For example, 5 riders including you would be five fingers then a fist.
@@JayDee25895 Same thought here. But, as someone else said, if it makes Chris happy, that's great. As for liking the channel, I liked it better last year when I recommended it to my family.
@@jacksak I agree. This year's videos are so much better and keep getting better. I think it's the area that he's at. Sometimes there's not a lot of exciting things to film. Although Chris it's very predictable and shows patterns in his personality through film.
Skipping weekly uploads more often .... two days of exploration ... I am feeling bad for all those who I recommended the channel to ... if they don’t go back & see the older videos that brought us all in on the “journey” ... they just don’t see the “interest” .... it is a shame ... happy for Chris & Shannon but unfortunately the transition has not worked ...
Hey. Love your videos. We are heading up to Silverton Buena Vistas. 23 Sept. We have a Rubicon. How do you find the areas that you are dispersed camping on? We are in Texas and just dont understand where we can and cant camp dispersed in Colorado.
As always, awesome video. QUESTION: I have watched and taken notes on your adventures but one thing I cannot seem to find is your off-grid power supply. I remember you talking about it once but forgot where that was. What do you use for power (if anything)? I notice a fridge, camera equip and editing machines including a computer. If you are willing to divulge (and it is understandable if not) your power supply can you say if it is adequate? Keep up the awesome work!
Basic rookie question.... when others were passing you headed in the opposite direction, I saw the "raised closed fist" being used. What does that mean? Tnx.
I love your content and videos. I do have a question for you though. You seem to spend a lot of time in bear country and don't really talk about it. What do you do for food storage and personal safety in bear country?
Looking at the lakes, rivers and streams I will repeat what others have said, get a fishing pole! 19 minutes later, the Patreon lure hooked me. I guess I’m the fish! Lol.
Lol, it is in the Funtreks book. This year was our first time going there and it will be on the list to do yearly. Very nice area, surprised to not see any moose video footage as we saw 3 of them in the stream a couple of weeks ago.
I love that train and the museum in Durango, but every time I see it I can’t help but remember all the fire damage it caused in 2018. My daughter did an environmental impact study of the fire retardant they used while she attended Ft. Lewis. Love/hate relationship with that train for sure. I miss Durango so much!!!!
Frankly, Shannon is a little scary. Chris has to make sure he's home on time now or Shannon's gonna be in a mood. Can he zip off on a whim and explore that unmapped forest road? Last year, sure! This year, not a chance. He has to hurry home, touch base, then go sit outside in the dark by himself. Can you feel the love? I mean, he could already sit in the dark by himself -- on his terms -- without the additional expense and without the tension. He's still getting great footage. Last week's episode was one of his best. He just needs to get her all the way in this thing or keep her all the way out.
I felt the same when I saw Chris sitting by himself outside the RV after hustling home to be there. It was also sad to see him at the RV door presumably and briefly talking to Shannon. I realize a lot goes on behind the scenes which we don't see, but the "look" of it is too cold.
@@landy531 When any channel operator puts themselves out there it's natural, expected and desired that people will become, as you say, "Nossey". If people didn't take notice and were not interested, the channel owner wouldn't have much of a following. And, the more comments and likes/dislikes a channel gets, all the better to feed TH-cam's money algorithm.
Could be since Texas is one of only three states that allow you to establish domicile as a full-time traveler. The other two are Florida and South Dakota. Texas also doesn’t have personal income tax. However his mystery girlfriend is from Texas, too, so maybe that’s why.
Adventure seems to be ‘waning’ rather than ‘afoot’ .......as I predicted some time back. Seems to be morphing into a ‘RV Life Travel’ channel , content has definitely dwindled , but that’s ok if that’s what you like. The whole ‘Secret Shannon’ thing just doesn’t work well. Just my opinion and like you know it’s just like something else everyone has one......... No 👎 but not many 👍 any more.
Chris, I love you're videos and editing but your new style of travel, not a big fan you always seem to be in a hurry to get back and I get it but it is not the same channel it was the adventure now seems like a weekend trip
Just phoning it in ... very unfortunate as this was the best TH-cam channel out there ... happy for him but the transition has been a struggle ... glaringly obvious his heart isn’t in the channel any longer ...
I totally agree. Each episode used to be shrouded in mystery on where he was going next but now it’s the same old thing. Film a few spots then bolt back to base camp. No story, no passion just “let’s get this thing filmed and uploaded”. Adventure is definitely NOT afoot!
Man i hate to say it but i agree. I know life always changes and it is a great think he has found companionship, because what is anything worth without someone to share it with, but it does seem like a rushed schedule and less content.
One of your best episodes ever! If those cheap b*&%^$rds at Chrysler / Jeep won't sponsor you, maybe Toyota, or Land Rover, etc. would... Maybe if we all made suggestions for sponsorship someone would take notice... surely, people from those companies are watching your videos.
Chris, love the channel but this Shannon thing is getting real old. Running back to base camp just isn't working and video of sitting in camp alone is weird..... I'm getting ready to move on.......
Yeah that was good video it sounds to me your patreon subscribers are going to get to meet the Mrs that's what it sounds like as non-paying viewers just have to wait that's fine cuz I don't give anybody any money I had to earn mine you can too. 👍👍😀🇨🇦
You don't think that Chris producing these videos and entertaining you is worthy of some donations to support his efforts? Fine, don't send him a donation, but don't rain on his parade or ours .
Chris, though you've cut back a bit on your travels I do enjoy it. However, if what you're planning on showing to the patreon subscribers is shots of Shannon I can just say...DON"T DO IT. privacy is everything.
@@tpseeker3367 No not really TP (Toilet Paper) I am giving honest feedback and hope that Chris will see the errors of his ways. I really want to enjoy his videos but, I am not sure where his mind is. Either way I still will watch them with my AD Blocker on but will not subscribe. No hate here, just plain honest truths.
I agree with the video’s going downhill … but if he is happy, that ‘s good for him. I wouldn’t call it a bad decision. Things change. But I do agree with your comment about the video’s. I am less and less interested.

beautiful landscape. Also its always a pleasure to see that jeep agility with sway bar disconnected
Definitely. Chris has some offroad skills for sure.
really like the variety in the video. trails,
views,water, more views ! And a steam train ! !
I took my Power Wagon up there last October and camped in the area for a week. A few day-trippers in side-by-sides during the day, but we had the entire area to ourselves at night. The solitude was bliss.
What Forest Road is that lake on from Silverton I would like to check it out.
Yes, please someone just tell us the name of the lake and we'll figure the rest out.
Never mind. After about an hour on google maps. I found the lake.
@@e.c.8668 If you go to 14:27 of the video, I imagine you could treasure hunt your way to the lake with the additional clues throughout the video.
WOW lunch by that water fall was about a beautiful as it gets!
So funny! I got the Seinfeld reference. That was a funny episode. Great show. Always look forward to your weekly adventures. Chris your channel to me is top notch. My favorite channel for sure.
Like a scared turtle.
Outstanding video. One of your best productions. I’m in Colorado Springs and now I want to head for Silverton before we head back east.
Great way to start my Saturday.
CHEERS from Colorado
Thank you for being so gracious on sharing you beautiful camping spot. We wanted to say hi, but didn’t want to invade more than we had. Sorry it took so long for us to get the Jeep level. Hopefully our kids weren’t to loud.
This is one of the most beautiful videos you have shot! Thanks so much for sharing this, it serves as peaceful yet exciting escape
Awesome Seinfeld reference. I feel like I use one at least every other day myself.
Happy to see the videos as they come out. Till next time cheers 🍻

Very Good Work SIr!
Best I've seen since before the VAN.....
Great video thank you!
Really enjoyed the video and the beautiful scenery.
Have a great day!
Ok. I may not have been paying attention, but someone changed their tag from PA to TX.
Silverton is the best. Will be there in ten days.
Cold water!! Significant shrinkage! George Costanza! Hilarious!
Amazing views Chris. Regards from Jerusalem, Israel!
Wow!!! Beautiful country!!!
Awesome video! The Jeep really got a workout at altitude. It looked nice and cool. I enjoyed the video very much. Thank you for taking us along.

1:47 Could be Kite Lake tbh 3:01 …and midsize wagons (my 2018 Outback)😃
Videos make me sleepy now….
perfect timing! im planning a trip from denver down to the silverton area next month
A great adventure. Hadn’t thought of going out on my kayak at night. Seems it would be kind of scary. Check out the areas around South Park and 11 Mile. Lots of good adventure roads. Should be low smoke this week in Colorado. 🍻
Beautiful area,enjoy the rallies,thanks for sharing
Another great video, thanks
Hello from Turin, Italy 🇮🇹
Epic views. Awesome content
Enjoyed the hikes and paddle, the only parts of your videos that I watch anymore. Everything else is a fast forward.
I noticed orangey isn't a Pennsylvania Jeep anymore.
Thanks for sharing your journey this week Chris!
I wondered about that too.
Very funny when you referencing "George Costanza swimming in the pool"
Chris thanks for not hauling through the water, then doing it again in slow motion, then in reverse slow motion, then back through. Nice to see a grown-up every once in a while.

Showing a fist hand sign at other riders passing you means the trail is clear of riders after you. If you are the point rider in the pack then you would show the number of riders behind you then a fist. For example, 5 riders including you would be five fingers then a fist.
I was thinking the same thing. I liked it much better when "Base Camp" was an apartment back east.....Peace

Great work as always!
I guess I may have to look into being a patrion subscriber...👍 Amazing scenery as always!
I’ve noticed the Texas tag on the Jeep
Hey. Love your videos. We are heading up to Silverton Buena Vistas. 23 Sept. We have a Rubicon. How do you find the areas that you are dispersed camping on? We are in Texas and just dont understand where we can and cant camp dispersed in Colorado.
Can definitely tell you are getting close to silvertom around 13 min mark
That first camp spot was top five all time!!
Cheers🇨🇦
Just got back from that area! Beautiful area! Wish I could have met up with you.
Now THAT'S cold!!!
😉
As always, awesome video.

He has two batteries under the hood and a solar cell on the roof.

I just camped at this mine site in June.
What is the clearance on your jeep with the Ursa Minor? How high does a parking garage have to be for you to feel comfortable to enter?
¡Saludos desde Peru!
Saludos desde Canada.
Saw you headed north out of Durango Thursday morning.
Texas plates?
I was in the pool! I was in the pool! Lolol
Sure would like to know where that is, how to get there..??
Bummer no vidz next week but have a blast!
We dont get notiications any more .I thought you quit doing videos .
Looking at the lakes, rivers and streams I will repeat what others have said, get a fishing pole! 19 minutes later, the Patreon lure hooked me. I guess I’m the fish! Lol.
That little pool on that river, I was so pissed he didn’t fish it!!!!! Man someone send this man a pole and some Power Bait!!!!
good vue
Weather getting cold up that high
Haha I know that exact spot and family camped there last year along the river...that is a spot you should keep secret for sure, it's a gem!!!
K___ Lake is not a secret. It is a gem though!
Patreon users got it now 🙃
@@RocketmanS2K I was talking bout 2nd camp by the river it's a ways away from the lake but amazing
Lol, it is in the Funtreks book. This year was our first time going there and it will be on the list to do yearly. Very nice area, surprised to not see any moose video footage as we saw 3 of them in the stream a couple of weeks ago.
Chris what were the temps at night and during the day?

Shrinkage, funny stuff
For those who want to know what lake this is, it is Kite lake.
shhhh. 😣
What headlight do you have?
I believe he covered that question a few episodes back when he was having trouble with them.
what's up with the TX plates? When did you move to Texas
five shows maybe six back.
I understood the George reference (-:
Every time I see those license plates now I think of Philip K. Dick.
Chris don’t you mean adventure is *afloat*?
I was wondering what types of cameras you use, do you have a video about it?
He has stated in the past he uses a LUMIX S5 ... before that it was a LUMIX GH5 ...
Texas plates? Thought your from Pennsylvania? Also maybe tell your viewers who don't know what the fist was for??

Earlier this year, as that is where his GF is based out of.
@@toddhoffmaster6057 Guess I totally missed it until this video. LOL
