V7E14: There Is No More East

- There is no more east... at least not by Jeep! After getting redemption on the Skerwink Trail, I set off toward St. John's, Newfoundland. On my way south, I explore some unmaintained roads that traverse a rugged landscape. Something I hold dear goes missing. I continue to the city, where I enjoy sustenance, make some repairs to the Jeep, and experience the easternmost extremity of North America.
*Chris is attacked by mountain lions while stuck in the path of a hurricane with four flat tires, no Internet, and cut brake lines.*
Chris: "Well, it's Sunday morning, and we've hit a minor setback..."
*Chris loses his coffee.*
Chris: *breathes into a paper bag* "I THINK I MIGHT DIE SOON."
Chris thank you for the videos of Newfoundland. I am from the Island and will retire back there in Jun 2024 after 31 years in the military. My plan is to purchase a Rubicon and explore every road/trail I can find on the island. I hope you felt welcomed in our beautiful province. I also did the TransLab highways in 2017 on an adventure motorcycle! Great content I will be sure to watch all your videos. THANK YOU!
What a wonderful place to retire to! I wish you the best of luck in your retirement.
Chris, we gotta talk about getting some veg into that diet of yours...what happened to the greens on your sandwiches? You’re going to go blind. LOL, it’s a thing. Loving the videos, keep rockin’ the awesome!
Yes indeed :-) Where are the greens???? The videos are just awesome, really. I love them. But the diet is a disaster hahaha
He has Pop-Tarts and coffee. Who needs greens?
Woody Powell coffee cures all ills. I almost cried when Chris lost his coffee mug! Tragedy!
Real men food don't use veggie..
I second the motion. But then, I do feel good about my own diet when I see what Chris is eating.
What a nice trip.
If I lost my coffee I’d cancel the whole adventure.
Cowboy Dave’s Adventure Time! 🤣🤣🤣
Cowboy Dave’s Adventure Time! Damn right! He has so much more self control than me. My jeep would have been u-turned so fast I’d need new tires!
Same here, that's a critical piece of my travels - it's like transmission for a Jeep!!!
I felt your pain so clearly with the coffee. Man, sometimes you just need that coffee.
When Chris lost his coffee I’m surprised he didn’t cancel the whole adventure!
Great vid . You seem very happy Shontzing around in Newfoundland lol
AMAZING VIEWS , COLORS , SCENERY & VIDEO ! I'M SOOOOOOOO GLAD THE MICE DIDN'T DO MORE DAMAGE UNDER THE HOOD OF THE JEEP! I HEARD IF YOU'RE IN AN AREA WHERE THEY'RE BAD / MICE / CHIPMUNKS / SQUIRRELS , ETC TO PUT A MAGNETIC RECHARGEABLE LIGHT UNDER THE HOOD AND IT SHOULD KEEP THEM AWAY ? JUST LEAVE YOURSELF A NOTE ON STEERING WHEEL THAT IT'S THERE SOOOOOOOO YOU DON'T FORGET IT .BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !
Chris, your stove solution is split a matchstick long ways in half and soak it in a drop of water, guarantee it will work great 👍
Another fine video.
Hi Chris. Just a note to say thanks and all that. I guess you have enough of all that stuff by now. The coffee cup drama was wonderful. How some guy driving around in his Jeep gets me concerned about a lost coffee cup is seriously mystical.
It's funny how the "orbits of things" can intersect lives at just the right time. By that I mean, here is your channel appearing on my radar just when you're traveling through Eastern Canada at the same time we are looking at retiring in Cape Breton Nova Scotia and researching all the details of doing so. A welcome break from the big questions is you and your travels reminding us of how lovely the scenery is and how much adventure awaits us.
When I say retire I don't mean stop working. Just stop working for money to do all the things that go into a life. We have enough to be comfortable now, and want to take care of our own food, learn to live with a forest to make the things we need and give the forest the things it needs to be a good healthy forest.
I like the way you travel through my country Canada and you show me parts of it I've not yet seen, inspire an adventurous spirit and maintain a wonderful sense of humor in putting it all together for us each week.
We have narrowed it down to four potential farms with woodlots that we will buy to make our homestead in Cape Breton. Once established, I'll drop you a line here to let you know the area and you are always welcome to stop for the night to camp or share the spot with any like-minded travelers on journeys of their own. Only 100 acres, so should you want some organic pasture-raised chicken, eggs or clean freshwater, it's nothing more than a hike and a hello.
My thanks to you for all the great info and adventure you've given us with your channel and good spirits.
With that, carry on and we're looking forward to the northern Labrador hopefully Torngate mountains update.
Stay safe, have fun and keep the shiny side up mate!
Be safe out there
On your way back across, it's worth the time to visit Fogo Island. "The road less traveled" Well in this case ferry.. You won't be disappointed for the effort!
Then again, if you've never been to France and like to see it from a Newfoundlander experience.. Turn south and ferry to St Pierre. That whole peninsula is something worth your time as well.
Spod great tool for all those accessories you have.
C'est tellement beau !!!
Safe travels Chris. We live in Key Largo, FL, and were very relieved to see the storm turn away from southern Florida. The disaster in Abacos is unbelievable, feel very sorry for them and pray they are able to recover.
I know it's a pain, but it looks like you didn't air down while driving that hydro line road. Those sharp rocks can cut a fully inflated tire real quick. But as usual another awesome episode. Safe travels, and hunker down till that storm passes. 👍🏼
Can't wait for labrador! My wife is from lab city and I hope to get up there someday. But I sure hope in your normal style you do some exploring so many videos they just hammer through and never visit places like Saint Lewis or muddy Bay etc, saying this I realize both of those places are a looooong way from the highway
I enjoy your Canadian Maritime videos. I’m amazed at all the local breweries seemingly out in the middle of no where. Chris, Do you ever get tired of sleeping on the road in your Jeep and desire a hot shower and warm bed at the local inn or motel?
We just discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago and WOW! We love mountains and ocean -especially in New England and Canada. We live vicariously through you-at least until we buy our camper and start doing some serious traveling. Thank you for sharing your travels- absolutely beautiful scenery!
Hey Chris you should change your light before going to labrador. And yes take time in till the storm passes.
Great videos. I'm so glad to see someone exploring the northeast. Beautiful country and entertaining videos with fantastic videography.
Just a person who found your U-tube channel and got hooked.. I have went to start of your vids and watched up to now, I think about what you started a few years back... I'm at a point to possible do the same. When you lost coffee been there "I'd went back then and continued on. But you would have missed meeting up w 4wheeler and info for trail ending. Concern's on your Jeep's miles, mine is at 243000 miles going strong... But it's the 4.0 in a LJ. I'm glad that you are still connected with family and friends to that making many more friends and memories.... For you, family and followers... Living Life to the Fullest!
Put some onion in your sandwitches Chris. It works wonders!
Looks like you have the remnants of a hurricane coming in your direction. Stay safe, look forward to your next report love the channel as I check them out early every Saturday morning with coffee.
Friggin awesome! Loved the your Jeep adventure. I hiked the Skerwink trail 3 times so far. Great spot.
I agree with Dave; the world would have to stop spinning until I found my coffee! LOL!
Great video. The scenery and geography in this weeks episode is absolutely beautiful. We just went through Dorian so good call on waiting for it to pass. Hunker down, rest-up, and maybe catch up on what you need to catch up on. Safe travel and thank you for keeping the perfect format coming.
Here on Cape Cod the storm passed this morning. We got a lot of rain, and the wind blew at maybe 45 mph, didn't here of any damage. They did stop the ferries from running, ruff seas. you would most likely run into the same thing up there.
When you sawpped out the batteries your burnt out light came back on when you started the engine... but it went back out after about 5 seconds. Very interesting .... ghosts perhaps?????
Awesome video (thus far) Just for situations like that I carry Plastic weld in the jeep, tools, tire patch kit, etc. etc. I've had to use plastic weld for that kind of fix before & it did great! just have to make sure to let it fully set :)
I love the videos! I found your BC Alaskan highway videos the week after I was up there for work, it is a really nice drive! so much better since they redid the pavement, it used to be in really rough shape
We Always enjoy your adventures
Another fan of the Exofficio underwear, it's my go to, nice thing is you can rinse them out anywhere and they dry really quick. Loving the videos Chris, keep them up. Cheers!
Another great adventure! I love it!
Thanks for another great adventure Chris looking forward to next Friday if you can put it out be safe and keep going
I love all your videos. Keep up the good work and safe travels to you.
Thanks a lot Chris, you always make my weekend. Look forward to what’s next.😘
Chris, glad you found your coffee mug (I hate when that happens)! Thank you also for showing me parts of Canada I would love to visit myself, but haven’t had the chance, yet!? Best of luck on your travels. Peace.
My optima has been running for 2 years. Zero issues. Love it
Never knew your channel existed, glad I found it. Just the kind of content I enjoy watching. Nice shirt btw. "Heyy you guyyysss!"
great vlog again Chris, thanks for sharing this beautifull island. save yourney
As usual an enjoyable travelog. Recently became a fan and look forward to watching the new week's videos as they come out
Another great video. Stay safe with the hurricane coming!
Thanks for shares Chris...Keep goinggggg!!!Regards from Italy
Ha Ha,,,, I’m commenting about a man buying underwear. But, in all seriousness, your choice of Exofficio briefs are a great one. I have worn these now for years after first buying them to travel Europe with nothing but a carry-on bag. Took three pairs and washed one pair in the sink each night. They were dry by morning. Great choice!
Take care, be safe and enjoye life. Big love.
I have a similar battery system in my Tacoma .The problem with this system is the Yellow batteries are deep cycle batteries and are rated 75 Ah so the battery only has 37 usable Ah . My Demetic fridge uses 35Ah’s in a 24 hour period so if you don’t drive you car for a 24 hour period you battery will be drained. Doing this over and over agin kills deep cycle batteries
Great video as always Chris. Glad you found your coffee cup. I want to get a Rubicon and set it up like yours. Buy one used and set it up. It will happen. One day. Safe travels buddy. :)
Big fan of the exofficio underwear btw - I travel 250k miles a year for business and I swear by them! Not cheap certainly but 100% worth it.
toujours de bonnes vidéos ,impatient d’être vendredi chaque semaine même si je ne comprends pas toujours tout bravo
Nice Video Sir (INDIA)👌👌
Must rescue the coffee!
Ha Ha 😁😁👍
Coffee is a primary food group, right...
If the coffee mug is lost the show would be canceled.
If you look closely at the footage around 26:02 you will see a drip of water behind your left shoulder as you are talking about the leak..... thought this info might help you find the leak. Thanks for the interesting videos I have been enjoying them.... If you are crossing on the ferry from NFLD to NS on your way back home give me an idea of when that is happening and if I'm at home I'll meet you at Tim Hortons and buy you a coffee. I live about a 5 minute drive from the ferry terminal here in Cape Breton.
Sorry about that message, I paused the video and sent the message as soon as I saw the drip. Guess I should have watched a few more seconds and I would have seen where you found the leak.....lol. Stay safe and keep the great vids coming bud.
Buen dia saludos desde Toluca city México viajas siempre solo no tienes familia que te acompañe a tus travesías me encanta ver tus videos 👍✅
So nice to venture and not worry about running out of gas!
Good work Chris! Thanks!
Great filming and editing. While we all understand that you are constantly back- tracking to place the camera for your driving and hiking shots, it really comes off seemless and unless you think about it, it feels more like we are on this adventure with you. incredibly well done. Kudos!
Thanks Chris, have a great week!
The only thing that should be direct connected is the winch. You should look at a POD or Switch Pro, etc... One set of wires to the battery and everything plugs into it. Super handy. Love mine on my Jeep. Each connection is fused and relayed individually. Makes connecting, troubleshooting, or even repairs very simple.
140,000 miles --great journey together
Not like you to be forgetting your Coffee laying about. Everything OK, Chris?? lol
what amazing place
Painless Trail Rocker would do wonders for that setup.
I’ve had a pair of those Exoficcio boxers since 2008 when I was in Iraq. Still wear them often. No rips, tears, or seams coming undone after 11 years! They’re pretty much the best underwear on the market. Those boxers are the Land Cruiser of underwear, pricey up front but quality that will last forever!
If you can, also pick up some Smartwool socks. I have several 7 year-old pairs and still no holes or rips.
Stay safe my friend 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
Chris , during this adventure or others have you ever encountered a beat or wolves ? Thanks for sharing your adventures keep rocking !
chris if you plan on Labrador definitely rent a satellite phone for the trans Labrador hwy BTW St. John's is my original hometown. love your vids plz Don't add background music!!!
you dont need to rent they are provided by the province
We stopped in Red Bay to get a Sat phone last year and they said 'nah, you don't really need one as there is so much traffic now' We continued on and while stopped the next day to duct-tape a tarp over our broken back window two tractor trailers stopped to see if we needed assistance!
best vdoil i erver sean
Thanks for another wonderful video of your adventures and daily life! Ex Officio are good... wear them in good health! 😂😬
I got about 4 yrs out of my Optima Yellow Tops. I just replace them last week. Genesis Dual battery kit is the best.
Very good transition at 1:25 , the sound was seamless.
Seriously though, I have been using Exofficio underwear for about 10 yrs. I was sold after only packing two pair in my three day bag when I forward deployed. I washed the one I wore that day in the shower (if I could shower) and let it hang dry while I slept. They are quick drying and for those days you have to wear them more than once they don't stink. And... if you roll them in the pack they take up no space at all! So there is your in-depth review!
Glad you found your coffee mug !
Aw...a hurricane would be fun to watch :)
Someone needs to give you a travel show!
Hey buddy been there lose the coffee. 😩. And a lock. For my semi. 🤙🏽☕️
Hah we got our oil changes at the Jeep dealership on the same day. I hope you were able to weather the storm.
Not sure I agree with deep cycle batteries as the start/chassis batteries. I would have chosen red tops.
Sept 1... Happy Birthday Me! ... 66 today! I've seen a lot of the areas these guys travel... I want to see them, again... just imagine how much they have changed... When I was a kid in the '50s there was no I10, I 40, I 15, My mother came out to New Mexico with her brothers in the '20s and route 66 was a dirt road... now look at it! Sorry I was having a moment! Ok, let's get back to the video! Oh, and that kind of volcanic Flow is referred to Pahoehoe after the pillow-like lava flows! On second look that lava was scored by glaciers to make those undulations with the scoring and scraping. Oh, Chris... one more thing! I suggest you get one of those pocket drones, with 4G video; you could run the drone up ahead of you and return from behind you to get those coming and going shots without having to go back to get it,,, also you can have them automatically follow you or parallel you if you get one with that capability! And another thing... that's a mark against you in the books of the DCDONA logbooks... you only get three and you could get kicked out... THAT'S ONE! ... finding it gets you 1/4 point back since it's drinkable (Dedicated Coffee Drinkers Of North America!)
Oh I had not seen that far in video, I've got a few Optima battery's to last over 10 years. Blue and Redtops.. one of my early changes now just about any AGM battery.
Dude! Let me know when you are back in Philly! Beer is on me!
The power line road is cool, can’t drive those in New Jersey
the rocks at 8:00 are Glacier Shaped and not Lava Shaped....I think...
Coffee > All Other Things!
You laugh about the underwear review Chris, but you'll find the Exofficio's life-changing. lol
Loving your adventures !! Curious about your French Press !!? (It looks sturdy enough for our crazy house !😉)
It’s sold at REI.
@@toddsevenz-coleman9891 Thanks !!!! :)
That's why you need the 4x4 spod system then you can be better organized with your accessories.....the only way to go.
The 2 older batteries would be mounted independently to provide power to run other accessories. If they still held a charge and had a decent output? I'd have them run a 12v system for heat, lights, fridge backup etc. Also. For mobile connection, internet, wifi I'd run the Iridium Go. A Satellite system the gives you an off grid connection for internet and communications services on any device. Its pricey but worth it.
Hope you have luck with those yellow tops. Since Optima sold out to johnson controls their quality has gone downhill. Those odysseys are the best for cold weather starting IMO. I run them on my Hummer.
ExOfficio underwear--best ever!!!
Did that passenger-side headlight burn out again?
As you turned to engine on - (after installing the new batteries)
the lights came on and the left light went out again.
thought I noticed that too.
Its a LED head lamp. I thought he was going to get it replaced in this episode.
@@lggy690
His light burned out, 5 or more, episodes back didn't it?
I sort-of remember that light getting replace, when he hit the very first town. He pulled the grill and wench to do it.
Unless I have a screwed up memory.
I'll try watching sober for awhile.
Sapphire Sword it was about 24 minutes in on the last episode he noticed it. V7 E13
@@lggy690
Like I said - no beer - no weed. LOL
I must be thinking days and not vlogs.
Been hoping Dorian would stay away from you since I saw it's northward turn. I guess they didn't find that suspension squeak that's been bothering my OCD? Lol If you come through OKC area I'll find it and fix it free!!! Haha
There you are!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for the update on the miles you have on the Jeep and the repairs. Do you plan to replace the Jeep when you get to your home state? Thanks for taking us along. Be Safe!!
i am a fan of the optima battery
Chris, I don’t think anyone on the internet does “this” as well as you do, well done! Oh - did you get a complementary cheezits bag from Blue Ridge, it’s got your name on it.😂 (from the UK)
Need a GPS on tour mug?perhaps a label,"if found return to...reward "
I thought water leaks were a Jeep feature. Doesn't it list them as a standard item in the owner's manual?
Oh man you didn't wipe the dirt out the battery bracket while you had it off...
Love your vids Chris. Go Goonies.
Remember about that storm will put trees down.. and water level up
