- The LAST EPISODE of 2023!!! Overlanding, car camping, whatever we want to call it - - the best thing about our travels is who we do it with! Join me for an exciting episode that has everything from a broken Jeep and snowstorm, to Starlink and Sous Vide cooking. Me, Mike @flyfisher530 and Kevin @RhinoOffroad are back together again for an EPIC adventure into the Sierra Nevada mountain range. This time, we are on the West side of the Sierra near the amazing mountain town of Shaver Lake California. If you have never been to Shaver Lake (Sierra National Forest), you'll want to check this video out to see what off-road opportunities are like in the surrounding area. We hit up the Bald Mountain OHV for a little wheeling and camping. One major feature of this episode is how to Sous Vide cook when camping! I made some awesome Snake River Farms filet mignons for the guys. But, can you Sous Vide off of a portable power station? Watch this episode to find out just how they turned out! (Episode 38 - 12/30/23)

Great video as always Greg! Looked like a great time with the boys. I really do need to get out there with you guys one of these days. Thanks again for all the love and support 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks Jeremy! Looking forward to hearing about what you’ll be filming here soon 🤫
Yesssssssss!!! 👏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼😃👊🏼 We couldn’t do it without you!! 👊🏼🤩
The views and food definitely looked hard to beat!
Thanks so much! Ya, we went a little above and beyond for this trip! AHAHAH, it was really fun! Thank you for watching and for the comment! 🙌🏻 👍🏻 😃
Living like kings with that filet. I crave hobo burger foils. Keeping it cheap and simple. Love the video! Gotta take my sous vide out and try it camping.
Right on! Thanks for watching and for the comment!! 👊🏼😃🙌🏼👏🏼 What’s your favorite hobo burger foil recipe?! I’d love to make that on the trail sometime! 😃😃
The views ARE amazing😮
Ya, the views up here are absolutely awesome! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The Sierra Nevada mountain range is one of the absolute best in the world! 🌎
@@TrailNewbie I swear I’m going to try going out there some day soon. When I see you in these videos on these beautiful mountains, I want to get up and go but easier said than done. You make it look like just another Thursday out in the snow 😆 Thank you brother, keep bringing happiness to peeps like me who love the outdoors but can’t really go out there all too easily. Love your vids ❤️ 🎥
@@rnavarrete26 love it! My recommendation. Start small. Just an out and back to eat some lunchables in the forest or hills. Then just build from there! 🙌🏼🙏🏼 keep in touch on Instagram if you have it - if you need any pointers. 👊🏼🙌🏼😃
Love that area! Some great wheeling around there.😃. Mirror lake, Coyote lake etc.
Awesome video, love the Christmas tree! Didn’t love the well done fillets though, but get everyone has their own preferences. Stunning scenery - keep it up!😊
Thanks! Ya, the Christmas tree in the wild was a really nice item that added to the ambiance! Ya, when I’m camping I tend to take the cooking temperature up a little - main reason is to ensure that there are no food-borne illnesses issues. When you’re way out in the middle of nowhere - I want to avoid any illness and also avoid any excess trips to the 🚽💩😂 Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
😂 awesome video and a beautiful spot! I can see why you like adventuring with these guys! I hope your wives see the humor! 😅
HAHAHA, yes, generally the wives do get our humor. But it’s mainly greeted with rolling of eyes. AHAHAHAH. 😊 🙄
Great Video as usual Greg!! Love watching videos from the 3 of you... And yes snow camping is tedious with the things you have to be prepared with like when your water freezes 😅. I've been to Bald mountain once, when I didn't have my Gladiator but my Wrangler. But I want to go now that I have my Gladiator.
Ya, you gotta go!! It’s such a great area. So many trail options from easy to “rock crawl”. It’s awesome! Thanks for watching and for commenting! I can always count on hearing from you! 👏🏼🙌🏼👊🏼😃 Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Greg!!! I know one day we'll bump into each other on the trail @@TrailNewbie 😉
You guys do it right! Great video
Thank you so much - that was such a fun trip! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
Waiting for a video about your Jeep updates (I see new taillights and a side window rack), also on Mike’s spare tire mount for his propane tank. 👍
Great idea! Ya, I’ll probably do a rig update in the Spring. There are a few upgrades for sure since the last one! 👊🏼🙌🏼 good question on Mike’s propane tank mount! I’ll see if he can provide info here. ⬇️ Thanks for the comment and for watching! 😃🙌🏼👊🏼👏🏼🙏🏼
I think I covered the spare tire mount for the propane tank in my Jeep Walk Around video....look for more information there!
@@flyfisher530 thank you, I’ll check it out!
#NEXTLEVEL ! Really well made video. thank you!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching! I love making these videos, and to hear that people enjoy them makes it really rewarding for me! 🙌🏼😃👊🏼👏🏼
❤LOVE IT!!❤I was wondering when you’d make another beautifully made video!!
Thank you so much! It’s comments like this that keep me going!! 🙌🏼👊🏼👏🏼😃 I really appreciate the encouragement. 🙏🏼
I had a similar clicking sound in my Holcomb Valley Breakdown video, but it was my driveshaft.
Interesting, I’ll pass that along to Kevin so he knows. Thanks for watching, and Happy New Year! 👏🏼
Great content brother!
Definitely a few spots on my short list to head to now. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much! Yes, let me know if you need any pointers in that area!! 👊🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I really appreciate your support and dropping me a comment as well! 😄🙌🏼
Awesome Trip. Shame they shut the gates down till we get more snow. Need to get back into some more Snow Camping this year.
Ya, I’ve never seen the green gate closed like that. We got a good amount of snow last night, so hoping soon! 🙏🏼
Yes, exactly what was going on with my JK! Great content my guy!
Kevin and I both operate a manual
Right on! Thank you so much for watching!! Kevin just put in Adams Driveshafts last week! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Manual for the WIN!!🏆
Good call insulating that bin, you’re doing all the right steps to make that setup most efficient. And glad to see someone else out there with a WaganTech! I have the same battery.
Hahahah! Right on! Ya, the WaganTech is a bit of a rarity out there on the trail! 😃 Gotta get you and the Mazda out to Cali..! 😃👊🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
You guys are bad ass!
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching and commenting! We have a TON of fun out there, and so glad to know it shines through over CZcams! 👊🏼🙌🏼😃👏🏼🙏🏼
Great video, Greg! I need to visit this place! It's not too far from where I live.
🙌🏼🙌🏼👊🏼 yes, indeed! This area is so awesome! Let me know if you need any pointers. 👊🏼😃👏🏼💯 Happy to give you some coordinates to some amazing spots. 😃🤩🙏🏼
Great video sharing good times with good friends. The Sierra National Forest is such a gem and I will definitely be back! Those filet's were awesome and Greg you can bring the eggnog next time! LOL
Ha ha, yes, that eggnog was off the charts! So glad to have you come down to see my neck of the woods! It is always a pleasure to hang out with you, Mike! Until next time!
See if I would’ve shown up you wouldn’t have had steak and eggs lol
@@OLNPHOTO hahahhahaha, well, that is true! 🤣🤣 You were missed nonetheless! 👊🏼🙌🏼
Wait till you get to my age. When I hear weird noises in my vehicles, my temporary fix is to remove my hearing aids.
Hahahhaha! Nailed it..! That made me literally LOL. Thanks for watching and for brightening my day with your comment! 🙌🏼😃👊🏼
Bald Mountain is such a great Trail! Something for everyone, love the lookout tower at the summit.
Ya, the OHV there is so diverse. From forest service roads to rock crawling - there truly is something for everyone! 😃😃 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it! 👊🏼🙌🏼👏🏼😃
Great vid Greg 👍

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! 🙌🏼👊🏼😃 it’s awesome comments like this that really make creating these videos worth it!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Happy New Year!! 👊🏼🙌🏼👍🏼
Hey, hey, go easy on the JK's! 😄 Love the granite of the Sierra's!
AHAHHA, I do love me some JKs. I just have to pretend like I don’t being a JL only owner. Ya, the granite formations are so awesome. We love it up here. 😃 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it! 🙌🏻👊🏼👏🏼😃
Just started watching your videos guys and there great. Oh and sorry to inform you a guy names mav aka maverick used your water cooking overloading on CZcams before you. But your second I believe. Keep having fun out there and stay safe.
Hahahah, right on! I’m good with being second. 🙂🙂 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
Great video and a fun adventure. Those steaks looked phenomenal!
Thank you so much! Ya, it was a great trip, good friends and good food is always a BIG WIN! 😃😃😃 Thanks for watching and for commenting! Happy New Year!!!
@@TrailNewbie same to you
Man! Loved that intro. Awesome seeing you gents together hitting the trails. Definitely JK things, I feel Kevin’s pain on this trip. At least he gets to take it out on the wood haha. Adding Sierra National Forest to the long bucketlist. Great video as always Greg!
Thanks Gee!! Always good to hear from you! I’m hoping for a BC trip in 2025, so lots of time to prep! 🙌🏼👏🏼👊🏼😃
Your videos are getting better each time. Keep it up!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the encouragement! Thank you for the comment and for watching! It’s folks like you that make this whole CZcams thing worth it. A lot of work goes into it, and it’s rewarding when I know that people really enjoy it! Thanks again and Happy New Year! 👊🏼👏🏼😃
Really well done dude. Thanks for the epic Steak and conversation 🤘
Thanks Kevin! My pleasure! Glad you made it back safe that night! Great to see you and the family today! 👊🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼👏🏼😃
Happy New Year Greg! Great video and yes Sous Vide are awesome. I'm cooking lobster I caught off So Cal and wild caught tuna a friend fished for 90 miles west of the Columbia River in my Sous Vide for New Years Eve dinner as well as celebrating my first weekend of being retired.
Congratulations on your retirement! That is so awesome! Hoping your retirement means more trips, relaxation, photography and fun! Ya, I love my sous vide. I now have three of them and 4 tanks! Also, I just bought a torch for searing!! Let’s just say I’m going a little overboard! 🛥️ 😊 👏🏼 🙌🏻 Thanks for watching and for your encouragement as always! It’s always a pleasure to hear from you! Cheers! 🥂 Happy New Year!
Oh no my neck of the woods. Hate to gate keep our area but wonder if we’ll be seeing more city folk from SoCal/norcal
Definitely don’t suggest city folks trying to get to the top of Bald. But, you bring up a good point. I think the small viewership I have generally provokes only those enthusiasts who know how to properly treat our OHVs and public lands. That’s the hope anyway! 😃😅 And, being a resident in Shaver, I’d love to drive some patronage to the town so some people will spend some $ here locally 🙌🏼. Thank you for watching and for the comment/thought. It’s a good reminder as I do these videos for future reference. 👊🏼🙌🏼👏🏼😃🙏🏼
Great video. Is that a Front Runner tailgate table? Did you permanently mount their utensil organizer behind it?
Hi 👋 it’s actually a tailgate table called the Trailgater by Outback Adventures Products. It is the absolute best one out there for the Jeep JL and other vehicles they make them for. The utensil organizer is made by Overland Outfitters and I think it’s called the Cutlery Keeper. It is amazing as well. I’m not affiliated with either company, just incredible products. I did a video that showcases my entire kitchen set up a couple months ago and I think I show the detail of them in that video if you want to check it out. Thank you for watching and for the comment, I really appreciate it! Let me know if you have any other questions!👊🏼😃👏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
I loved it, except for the sink, which seems like spending money to make things more difficult.
Ya, you have a decent point. I use the sink about 50% of the time. I don’t use it all the time but it’s really good for food prep time. Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
I have a stock 4dr JLUR. Would I have many issues with this trail? It looks like an amazing place to visit and I'm looking for some beginner trails.
You would be totally good! No problem at all in a stock Rubicon! Reach out to me on Instagram if you happen to have it and I can give you some additional information. Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Why would he be in 4L on those roads and those beautiful conditions? At all? I’m more confused about that than the noises…
Great question. I asked Kevin during the trip that same question, and while I don’t remember his answer perfectly - he said because his JK is a manual transmission, it’s just easier when climbing at slow speeds to go 4L and stay in those lower gears. I’ve always driven an automatic, so I keep mine in 4H for the service roads, and then 4H for any significant climb or descent. (On descents to save my brakes!) 😃
If I think of it, I’ll ask him the next time we hang out, and try to provide some additional info here. But, again, I think the main driver was due to his being a manual. Thanks for watching and for the comment! Cheers! 🥂 😃👊🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
Every video is incessantly about the clicking noise
