Not sure what changed in me, but I use to rarely watch your videos and now I can't stop. This channel may have taken the top spot for me and my overland addiction. Thanks and keep up the great work.
The addition of the dog made this video. He has the life. Just look at all the gorgeous places he saw. The fancy camp food. Ring a round the tree games. Taught how to build a fire. The jelly bean treats. Carried down a mountain from a shack he did not want to leave. Good times. He doesn't want it to end.
Great Video as always Chris. We are loving our Ursa Minor and without your influence would not be living this life. Its so amazing how much quality footage you get shot and edited in a weeks time. You have really inspired us in many ways. Thanks!
Awesome video again, Chris. Really love seeing Finnegan in the video, they make great companions and they make a great warning alarm if something comes around the campground.
Your editing, transitions and narrating is documentary quality. You make some of the best videos I watch. Glad your happy(er) and eating healthy. Safe travels.
You definitely seem much happier when your new GF joins you on your adventures. It makes a huge difference when you have someone special to share these adventures with. Looking forward to the time we get to meet her.
My wife and I have been on the road fifty days, home two of the last month and I’ve worked one day... Two back to back trips AZ to OR as both of my wife’s parents passed. Really it’s not the time on the road that wears on you but the feeling of needing to be somewhere tomorrow. We’re home now and I can relax by watching Chris travel.
Dang got found out . Going around tree worked for a bit , says dog . Dang she keeps cooking like that all us single guys over landing are going to be asking for a cook book . Thanks for sharing your awesome videos and adventures with us all your over landing friends . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
Thanks for the share, what beautiful sites. An I must say, I hope you don't mind but, your lady friend has an absolutely beautiful laugh, I'm glad to see that you have found someone to share your travels with. Safe travels to you guys, and looking forward to seeing your next upload.
Another great video Chris. Your friend seems really nice. And a great cook. And her dog is a sweetie too. :) Stay safe you two. We'll see you next week.
From Canada looking across the mountains to your last camp. Wonderful camera/editing work and supper shots made me hungry 😋 Keep going and we will see you in your next video
If u would like some suggestions.....I live West of Kalispell in Marion. Go to Banack & Garnet....they are both old Mining towns. Both in Very different terrain. Garnet is in the Forrest & Banack is in the open rolling plains. Both very Interesting!!! Lots of History. If u like clean lakes then Hwy 2 West of Kalispell is the place to go.....Have Fun & Be Safe!! We have LOTS of Bears, Mountain Lions, Moose ( VERY aggressive & territorial) Good Luck on your Journey!! 🌻🌸🌻
Loved this video so much. Great to have your companion along. On or off camera whatever hope you two have fun exploring Chris. As always great shots and editing. My favorite channel on TH-cam ♥️ ⛺️
Growing up there was a show called "Soupy Sales" he had a character off camera that you never saw except for his arm, your lady friend is off camera like "Fang"
My wife and I have traveled all over the U S and Canada with motor homes gut not on the roads you travel. We are watching all your videos. Yours are the best of all the Overlanding videos. What you need is a Winnebago Revel. 👍
Loving the occasional commentary and input of your traveling compassion. Being a native NW New Jerseyian, not living too far from your beloved OK4WD, and having a Native North Dakotan for a wife, its really cool hearing the same accents in play during your banter. What is the name of her formidable adventure pup who keeps scene stealing?
Yep..ok..she is a person n if she would like to stay in the background..ok..but thank you Chris for sharing n delivering what I grew up with...Wild America...
Beautiful Country up there, I need to get back its been about six years for me... if your heading south take a little detour and drive up through Red Lodge, MT. and down through Yellowstone awesome country and views...
Absolutely a breathtaking trip. God Chris the water is so beautiful. I don;t know how you can walk away from these sites without spending a week. heading into Idaho next month. Craters of the moon. Now I just want to keep going into Montana. Thanks for sharing
Jade Goodman first thing I thought when I saw that part of the video. My god..... will there be crowds of hikers huddled together in groups of 15-20 up there
I watched a "Yellowstone" marathon and was in awe of Montana's epic scenery. You confirmed its beauty with this awesome video. Your friend seems to be an incredible cook. Is she, perhaps, a chef? She sounds wonderful! Sure would be nice to even see a reflection of her, Chris.
As always Chris, a fantastic and very interesting adventure story. I would love to do even a small percentage of the exploring that you do. Perhaps it will come to be one day. The granddaughter, aka "Li'l Bit" and I enjoy following along so much. Today is her 7th birthday, and she says hello.
Smoke was from most likely from Colorado. Was just there visiting my brother and camping week before this last. 2 MAJOR fires west of Ft. Collins and near Grand Junction.
@@MrWils25 for the most part they do blow from west to east and often times from south to north along the Pacific coast depending on where the jet stream is positioned....but always generally west to east friend.
I would love to be in Montana right now especially during summertime. However, being necessary at the moment my calling is to continue to repair HVAC equipment on the border with Mexico until tentatively September fourth. My employer unfortunately failed to fulfill their end of the agreement, so I tendered my resignation, and will be taking time off before going back to work again. Fortunately, a good HVAC tech. can find work anywhere if compensated fairly. Perhaps, Montana will be on the list of states to visit before business will commence again. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic share from all three of you. Thank you! My wife and I thoroughly enjoy every video that you post. We travel quite a bit with a small travel trailer using a 4Runner for our tame, off-road, day adventures. Your deeper exploration has us leaning toward a new phase of exploration with some mods to the 4Runner. I am curious how your Jeep with 315 tires passes inspection. I thought tire width becomes a problem.
Thank you! I figured that was the case when I see some seriously wide tires on Jeeps and 4Runners driving the roads. I guess you could keep a stock set, pass inspection, and then switch back to the real tires.
You think the smoke was bad there, should see northern Nevada. It's been California burning since the beginning of June. Sometimes it's so thick it looks like fog. Really bad for your health. Thanks for the video! 🖐😁🇺🇸
I'm in California (unfortunately) and the smoke is pretty bad here. We're planning on moving to Montana fairly soon. Thanks for the video this is great!
Watching you prepare that Taco salad I thought Chris is starting to eat healthy and then you went and dropped a half pound of sour cream on it. Oh well still better than hot dogs and pizza I suppose.
So now you're driving around with a personal chef, nice!! Guess you're hiding her so no one else steals her, hard to find q goo camp cook, lol... really enjoy watching your adventures!! When the reveal her identity show, haha...
I’m jealous of your home, its one of the most beautiful and wonderful places I have ever been to and seen. Unfortunately I will never be able to be more than a passing through visitor because my wife needs more shops for shoe shopping. I’m ok with that. She is my best friend and I don’t know how much time I have left with her. Enjoy every single day. You never know how much time you will have to enjoy your life.
slap ya mama seasoning is 1 of the best. being from New Orleans that kind of makes me an expert. :) the best cajun/ creole seasoning is Frog Bone. not easy to find in stores but available online.
Quick question for you I know it’s a matter of preference but after looking at those runaway Campers and Adding all my options, i’m at the same price as that same rooftop tent you have if you could go back would you keep this set up? Or buy one of those runaways ? Don’t you ever think about bears climb in the jeep and ripping open that fabric tent 🤔
How much longer is your gal going to be in the witness protection program? Love your videos..wish they were longer. Love the Dog too....be safe out there.
We can sense fires via satellite nowadays - they probably have a team at home monitoring it 24/7. That's if the fire tower isn't still staffed. I wouldn't want potentially infectious people visiting my fire tower either tbh

Nice to share the adventures with someone special, makes the whole experience more rewarding. Thanks for taking us along!!
As always, amazing video! Glad you found a companion, you definitely look a lot happier.
Another outstanding video Chris.The change of pace is refreshing.Enjoy your time with your lady friend and keep it moving.
Awesome video again, Chris. Really love seeing Finnegan in the video, they make great companions and they make a great warning alarm if something comes around the campground.
Your smile when you’re with your daughter is so wonderful.
girlfriend you mean
Definitely not his daughter, that is Chris's girlfriend. Your comment is not awkward at all.
Wow...it’s even more beautiful than I imagine...love the wildflowers! Thanks for taking us along! Enjoy the time w your friend!💕🐾🐾
Your editing, transitions and narrating is documentary quality. You make some of the best videos I watch. Glad your happy(er) and eating healthy. Safe travels.

Cheez-it’s are back! I must say the addition of the lady friend seems to be working out well. Seems like a helluva cook and is great with/on camera 👍
Woh...
Chris looked extremely energized hustling through those trails and up those mountains.
Dang got found out . Going around tree worked for a bit , says dog . Dang she keeps cooking like that all us single guys over landing are going to be asking for a cook book .

She is very captivating. And she wants to be infront of the camera so bad.
I love her dog!
Another great video Chris. Your friend seems really nice. And a great cook. And her dog is a sweetie too. :)
Stay safe you two. We'll see you next week.
That waterfall/grotto & sheer wall. That was worth a close up inspection.
Safe Journeys
Best quality video on TH-cam. Look forward to your post each week. Absolutely beautiful!!!
From Canada looking across the mountains to your last camp. Wonderful camera/editing work and supper shots made me hungry 😋
Keep going and we will see you in your next video
Once again nicely done. Thank you for the escape.

I would also recommend exploring thel Bitterroot Mountain Range in Montana.
Great places there to explore, camp, hike, and enjoy.
The meals are made with love and care...
👍🇺🇸🙏
Safe travels
Love your videos Chris, She sounds like a lovely lady, and she can cook and drive a jeep off road, a keeper it me.
Saving this for in the morning. Goes better with coffee.
Love how you were explaining how to build a fire to the dog. 🤣
Just returned from northern Idaho and drove the road to the sun yesterday, ate lunch on the Yaak
Growing up there was a show called "Soupy Sales" he had a character off camera that you never saw except for his arm, your lady friend is off camera like "Fang"
The human hairy arm was Lennie, the white hairy arm was White Fang the black hairy arm Black Tooth.
I was think Wilson from home improvement
I was thinking Vera from Cheers.
All I can say is you inspire! Headed out on my next weekend for another adventure!
Love ya Chris and new Chef!
Chris you look happy. Didn’t get your blog until this afternoon. Glad you’re ok. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob
What part of PA are you from? I live near Harrisburg.
Chris Gabner , I live in Morgantown, south of Reading.
@@robertrhode6104 I'm from Harrisburg. It was cool to see the PA plate in the video. I'm hoping to get back out west soon.

I'm so glad you got in the water..I had the same urge!!!!
Looking forward to new adventures, always nice to cross the bridge
Looking good, Enjoy!!
Great Video, the two of you work well together
I envy you so much much Chris! Great adventures and happiness!
Yep..ok..she is a person n if she would like to stay in the background..ok..but thank you Chris for sharing n delivering what I grew up with...Wild America...
Beautiful Country up there, I need to get back its been about six years for me... if your heading south take a little detour and drive up through Red Lodge, MT. and down through Yellowstone awesome country and views...
I've got to say, when I first saw it, my first thought was
'wow, that is one sweet elongated bowl they've put on there'
Know you're bowls people.
Absolutely a breathtaking trip. God Chris the water is so beautiful. I don;t know how you can walk away from these sites without spending a week. heading into Idaho next month. Craters of the moon. Now I just want to keep going into Montana. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful country! Thank you!
It’s a good time on the trail. Lots of great views and good eats
Just had to say how happy I am for you( new relationship). My boyfriend and I love your videos. Keep it up and safe travels. 🍕
Finally, real food 🤤😋🥡🍽🍴🥄🍝🍜
Glad you got a travle partner for a bit. Great looking video.
Very happy for you, man!!
All this closed for Covid stuff is just getting old. That road to the tower is one that needs revisited for sure. That is some awesome country.
Jade Goodman first thing I thought when I saw that part of the video. My god..... will there be crowds of hikers huddled together in groups of 15-20 up there
The employees likely don't want to risk being infected from some eager tourists
I watched a "Yellowstone" marathon and was in awe of Montana's epic scenery. You confirmed its beauty with this awesome video. Your friend seems to be an incredible cook. Is she, perhaps, a chef? She sounds wonderful! Sure would be nice to even see a reflection of her, Chris.
Little factoid.......most of Yellowstone is filmed in Utah
NW Montana is absolute magic.
There was so much "WOW" in that video
Most memorable place I’ve ever been... period.
It's so good to see you with that extra pep in your step there Chris , looks like she's taking good care of you, your friend Southern Nevada
She is gonna get him fat.
Congratulations on your new fried safe travels my friend
As always Chris, a fantastic and very interesting adventure story. I would love to do even a small percentage of the exploring that you do. Perhaps it will come to be one day. The granddaughter, aka "Li'l Bit" and I enjoy following along so much. Today is her 7th birthday, and she says hello.

BigRiver I was responding to the initial post.
Soo... when is the cookbook coming out??
Wow - each plate of food is enough for two people!!
Love that area!
Can't wait to travel through Montana. Looks Incredible!
Dog says "I don't care what makes the fire I just care about what you MAKE with it" ;)
I would love to be in Montana right now especially during summertime.

Did your trusty Coleman stove finally give up? How do you like the Camp Chef?
She opened the Coleman and decided it was beyond redemption 😂😂😂 I wonder if his trusty old fridge survived...
wodgesad with her cooking abilities I would upgrade too if I was him!
Great video thank you!
Oh yes, our recent CA fire smoke haze...All gone now! (At least over by Gardiner....)
Scenery is amazing, glad you have company!

Fires around Penticton BC. Not sure if it crossed the line

@6:07 panning from the dog to taco meat and the first thing I thought was dog food😄. I'm sure its delicious. 😁
You think the smoke was bad there, should see northern Nevada. It's been California burning since the beginning of June. Sometimes it's so thick it looks like fog. Really bad for your health.

parmesan which is not a vegetable :-). I guess you had it in your mind, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.
So now you're driving around with a personal chef, nice!! Guess you're hiding her so no one else steals her, hard to find q goo camp cook, lol... really enjoy watching your adventures!! When the reveal her identity show, haha...
Shhhhh.....Dont let too many people know about this area. It is beautiful. I do know why, cause I live here!
I’m jealous of your home, its one of the most beautiful and wonderful places I have ever been to and seen.

I’m ok with that. She is my best friend and I don’t know how much time I have left with her.
Enjoy every single day. You never know how much time you will have to enjoy your life.
At least her dog is less annoying than the last one. Hope all is going well and company brings you happiness.
Ha I was just there.. some good camping down hungry horse reservoir... also near Yaak some good places
"That's a good elongated bowl they put on there too." -- Mystery Lady's best line so far @14:56
Yeah, she might be a keeper.
Thanks 😎👍
Hows watching out the passenger side windshield?
Head to the Butte area. Lots of ghost towns and forest service roads. Whitehall is my neck of the woods.
Cheers.

Absolutely gorgeous god bless America.

She wants to be infront of the screen bad. But Chris is scared that as soon as she starts talking on screen, she will win all the attention.
Lookout tower in the middle of almost no-where... closed due to Covid.. makes perfect sense! It's a shame the government has done this to us all!
vagabond expedition it’s true insanity
I’m always blown away how far reaching it is. Reports of notices out in the middle of NOWHERE all over the US 😫
Shame what we have let them do
Jens CntryLife agree 100%
It really doesn't make sense...
We can sense fires via satellite nowadays - they probably have a team at home monitoring it 24/7. That's if the fire tower isn't still staffed. I wouldn't want potentially infectious people visiting my fire tower either tbh
Chris, in a video from some time ago you mentioned another frig company other then ARB. Which company was that?
Time for a coffee break and V4WD
Hi! Love your vids. Can I ask what app you are using to find your camping spots?
Damn that’s a beautiful spot
