V4E19: Forgotten Roads to Windy Coves

- This week, I venture to the southern tip of Nevada, where I traverse some washed out roads, and enjoy a charming campground by the water's edge. Unrelenting winds cause me to push eastward into Arizona, where I experience the burros of Oatman, and take in the attractions of Kingman, along historic Route 66.
Something of a coincidence....I live in Kalispell, MT and before I found your channel, and subsequently binge watched your episodes chronologically over a couple weeks and became somewhat of a fan, I went up the north fork past Polebridge and camped at Tuchuk CG as I do from time to time, unknowingly just after you had been there in the snow....exact camp site and even used the rocks you had used to level your jeep, to level my Tacoma with RTT. I cracked up after watching that episode and had to tell my wife. I love what your doing and am considering this way of life after the little birdies fly away! Let me know if you're in the area and want some company around the fire....we have a lot in common! Peace.
GORGEOUS SCENERY COLORS VIEWS VIDEO ! THE PIZZA LOOKED REALLY GOOD ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BE WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEYS ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !
The Jeep looked comfortable in it's natural habitat on the trails!
I have a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon here in the UK and the only way I could justify owning such a vehicle is to use it for adventures. Our fuel prices are also over double what you pay in the USA!
This one popped up on my feed ...I guess it fell through the cracks ...it’s good to see you’ve kept it simple . Keep up the great work
I’m upset this video is over already. I live a dream thru your videos each week wishing I could do the same travels and be free. I love my wife and baby girl, but right now things are tough. Keep living a dream for all of us. Hope your trip home recharges your batteries. Enjoy the family, most of ours is gone. Holidays are tough, no parents or grandparents to enjoy anymore. My grandpa was the best! Have a great week!
That articulation at 3:00 great shot!
I have been watching a lot of your videos. Love the channel. My wife and I are setting out on our own in 2019 for a month. I hope we see a lot of the places that you have been. Safe travels.
Your Jeep setup and your journey is gust what I been looking for ,it is what I want to do and what I really need in my life ,to just get out there and be away from all the bullshit in my life you can call it running from my problems but it’s just what I need. You are very inspiring keep it going love you stuff mad respect.
Holy shit dude! This was the first video where you said Nevada correctly! Ive been watching all your videos in chronological order since I’m stuck at home, and it’s been wearing on me. Thank you for making the correction!
Thanks for our weekly dose of adventure! This channel has become my number 1 favorite on CZcams. I can’t live this way currently so thanks for including us in yours!
I also love his channel, adventures and the amazing scenery. I too have a Jeep Rubicon (not very common in the UK) and am inspired to go overlanding in the Highlands of Scotland - though I'll likely stay in cosy B&Bs or a warm pub (so I guess it would be called "over-glamping"!).
Doctor Who?! you said? his ranking continues to climb. lol Nice taste in Sci Fi. thanks for the great videos.
Chris it’s to bad that wind didn’t cooperate, I’m not a big fan of strong winds either as they’re tiring...
Thanks for the mention of the apps, I downloaded them both. My wife and I are in the beginning stages of planing for a life on the road, tired of living in one place reading about all the adventures to be experienced. We’re planing on a medium sized motor home with a Jeep tied on behind. Keep up the great work it’s really appreciated.
Chris, I just finished a marothon of watching all of your videos in order from when you started moving out of your apt till now. I think you're living the american dream and it is good to see you're happy doing it. I too am hoping to get out more and travel a bit with my kids and teach them about the land and how to survive in it after I am done with my degree for IT. Keep it up and take care!!
I love coming back home and seeing old friends and family. I would say it keeps me grounded.
Enjoyed my weekly dose of adventure. I look forward to your vids. Doing that which most of us only dream about. Thanks so much.
Very cool to see your patience and skill at tackling a road hazard such as the one there above lake Mead. Now that is an amazing looking margarita pizza. Hope it tasted as good as it looked
I love love love your videos you do such an awesome job!
Chris thank you so much for the videos. You take us to places some of us never go or have the chance to go; you do a great job of showing how to traverse some really technical roads. I can tell in your videos you seem to be getting discouraged and lonely. It's always good when you have a friend or your son along for some of these trips. I think it does you a lot of good to have a companion. Have you ever considered having a dog? Maybe it will do you a lot of good to go home for the holidays and recharge. Keep up the great work. I am from south Georgia and have never been to the places you take us to. So thank you for sharing your journey with us.
I wouldn't choose this as a lifestyle, but I could definitely see myself taking some trips like this. It looks so peaceful.
I wish you the best Chris for the holidays! God bless you on your adventure,!
Finally up to date after finding your channel a few weeks ago. Really enjoying your adventures unfold. Keep up the good work!!
Love your channel.
Another great video Chris. Thank you. Your videos have inspired me to do more over landing road trips. Have a great week.
Words of encouragement Chris!!! Love it. Keep on keepin on!
Absolutely LOVE your channel, Chris! You’re a solid dude!
Thank you for sharing your journey...
Nice! Love your videos! Be safe.
Man, I want a grilled cheese sandwich now that I've binged watched a few episodes tonight.
We are really enjoying your travels fella, from down here in Aus!!! Be safe mate
It’s always interesting to see your videos and where you are. Headed back west soon to explore
Amazing as always ! Thx for sharing and travel safe ! 👍😉
Wow, that cove was stunningly beautiful! Great video always Chris!
I've been watching your videos chris. i love it!
Awesome video work and moments out on the trails. My dream Jeep adventure, I from Arizona and need to see this place. Just started watching and already a fan. Great work Chris.
Keep going you inspire many, have a good holiday recharge.
I watch a few channels. Chris. you by far have the best channel at showing the terrian you drive in and your daily life. Thank You and have a great holiday, you deserve it.
Excellent driving skill in the beginning of the video, climbing up that ledge!
The flex on a stock jeep.... insane
Hi Chris, hope you had a good week.
Just wanted to say how much i enjoy your Adventure videos. I work a lot and have so many commitments that i do not get much time off. I would have to say yes i live my life vicariously through these videos. i look forward to seeing America through your videos. I also dream if one day being able to travel in the same way you do. Your videos have opened my eyes to how amazing America is. I live in the Phoenix Area and i am amazed at how spectacular Arizona is. Thank you for your selflessness in sharing your Adventure. You have the same spirit that the original settlers had acting in faith that all will go well. I just got a 2007 FJ cruiser, and im very interested in the way you have set up your jeep and im do very much enjoy your reviews on the bits and bobs you pick up here and there. Im making sure to attend the expo in flag 2019 . Maybe we will see you there.. All the Best Chris and safe travels.
Lol that rock he just threw aside was there for a reason!!! Lol
There's more where that came from.
Awesome videos have fun, and keep it up.......
Great video!
Just a heads up, but noticed your driver's side break line is rubbing on your rear shock. Might wanna keep an eye on that before it wears a hole in it. Love watching your vids! Keep it up!
Saw that too, but wasn't sure if was just an illusion or not. No harm in taking a look.
Congratulations for all ur videos
Another awesome video. Good Plan. Keep going and good luck tomato hunting.
I know you know what your doing and are well experienced. I've watched enough Rusty Wests videos to make me rethink camping off grid by myself. Best of luck.
Another awesome week. Keep up the great work. If you make it into SoCal pre-holiday you’re welcome to crash here or park the rig for as long as needed. Cheers!
As always a great video. Besides the fact that you don't have crazy background music which we have discussed before, I love that when you are driving off road you take it slow and methodical. I am not a fan of the sites that show vehicles plowing through the woods tearing it up and their machines up. I have the same cook pans and now only use them for my small back pack stove. They are too thin for the heat on the bigger stoves and usually burn everything unless they get constantly watched. Safe travels!
Hey Chris, another great video and it is great news that you are heading East to spend time with your Son!!!! and family. Thanks and keep rolling🏕
Couldn’t justify not being a patron any longer. God speed, good sir!
Great video 👍🏼
Fantastic...you are in my neck of the woods..Although I am Canadian, I spend my winters in the same area. Base out of Needles, Ca. and go to Loughlin, Nevada, Christmas tree pass, Kingman, AZ, Oatman, Haulapie mountain, Lake Havasu Az, and the Parker areas. The hikes and boon docking are amazing with Cup Cake Mountain, Parker as a great climb, all beautiful. However, like you, I discovered the wind....Be down there end of December. Oh, the campground you were in on the Colorado is on my list this winter. Surprised you didn't make it down to Nelson...just south of Boulder city, off the 95..quaint ghost town, and goes right on down to the Colorado also. A truly gorgeous part of the world, but, the wind does make you kinda nuts.
I agree about van life. Especially for a geezer like me. Or a truck popup camper for my 4x4 truck! Couldnae go in some places as ye Jeep... Could cook, eat, baffroom at night, all inside out of rain. I was just going to say that here in east, cooking outside won't do much because of weather, than I saw you a PA boy.
Welcome to fabulous Southern Nevada. Hope to run into you while you're here!
Loved burros of Oatman that looks like a good place to spend some time. I see you found another Pizza place. Thanks for the information on the WIFI App. Can't wait to get back in my Jeep. Thanks for taking us along
My favorite Friday night activity..... Another great video. Have you considered a meet and greet while you are back in PA? I would love to come down from upstate NY for some coffee or pizza
I appreciate your videos very much. My wife and I recently leased (with an option to buy) a Rubi JL 2.0 Turbo. Not sure about owning a 4-banger but it sure has a lot of get-up-and-go. We’re outfitting it with a Ghobi rack and a Tapui tent and we’re gonna get out there and do some traveling. I’ve learned a lot from watching your documentation. Keep going!
Another awesome video Chris... You say having a van would give you more and that is true but you're not going to be getting out on some of those trails that you're finding. You can't beat the articulation of the Jeep Rubicon (I have one, lol.) Great shots of the Jeep conquering those ruts and wash outs. Keep up the good work Mate! Happy Thanksgiving if you don't get that video out before.
Don’t stop now, please. So menu u-tubers have stoped posting. I know your tired and lonely. You have taken me to places I would not have sene any other way. When you get back to Pennsylvania I would like to meet you for lunch. I live in Morgantown, Pa. best wishes to you.
Bob
Was in Oatman AZ back in the mid 90's ... cool little Route 66 town.
Awesome flex👍👍
Hang in there bro, I'm heading out to the southern part of Colorado Thanksgiving week. Cold and snowy.
wow, you are out near us! we will be out boondocking/overlanding Az for the Thanksgiving holiday, hope we run into you before you fly home.
Great Vid Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving.
Went to a Jeep group lunch at Shady Maple today. I think that's not too far form your home in PA. Safe Travels Brother!!
Doing good buddy. Wind! You should try to in brace the wind. It can be very relaxing if you let go all of your thoughts. Listen to the rhythm of the wind. Wind is very important to the eco system. Be part of it! Have a happy Thanksgiving, Christmas and new year. I am getting ready for winter camping in the North Woods of Maine. Take care, Doug
Your videos are great and I hope Jeepmat least gives you a Jeep to show off the capabilities of a Jeep. Like the way you show it’s capabilities off-road!
Great video again, but you had to beat me to Layman to th Burros!
You had that front right tire off the ground just a hair for a minute 👍👍
Nice!
Great videos. Kingman Arizona was the site of a Propane railcar BLEVE (explosion) that killed 11 firefighter and one civilian on July 5, 1973. Nice memorial park honors the fallen. Worth a visit if you are in the area. God Bless Brother.
I used to live out there, nice to see Kingman in better shape (*everything* was out of business and boarded up when we left). Looks like your last camp was up on the north end of the Hualapais? There's a great scenic route that runs south along the top of the rim and drops out into the desert just southeast of Yucca...and from there you've got BLM dirt in just about every direction.
Ty😎👍
You are my idol.
Another great week. I worry about your diet though!
Really appreciate sharing your adventure. You should think about self recovery. I like remote back roads, and I too am most often by myself. On your Jeep, I do not see a winch, high lift jack, or shovel (the machete was kind of lame). You should have these to be truly self supporting, and you could well be helpful to others who are less prepared. Good choice to take a break and especially to spend time with your son.
Have you ever thought about a teardrop trailer offroad one ?? Just wondering what you think about those.
Me it's on my list of toys for offroading travel...
Maybe while you are home for Christmas you can look for a good drone that you can use. Might save you some time setting up the camera for approach/departure and you can get some nice aerial shots. Enjoy the videos. Telephone Cove would have been a good spot to unwind, you could have done some kayaking.
Great video has usual Chris! What type of spots are those on your front bumper? Next year I’m doing a six-month trip across the US to bring awareness to homelessness. Going to visit the 30 cities with highest population of homeless. Doing a lot of prepping and mods the last few months. Thanks!
I'm always wondering, your jeep is your house/life . When you park it in town or leave it some in place alone for hours, aren't you afraid of your jeep getting robed?
This is my biggest fear, and most of the times I can't even go enjoying long walks because of the fear of having my vehicle broken in, witch already happened once!
I lived in my vehicle for a year, similar to this. My truck was broken into in my parents driveway. and the thief got away with a backpack and my spot plb. He was kind enough to press the check-in button to let the cops know where he lived.
Time for the Sprinter 4x4. Come on Patron folks get on that.
Another great video, even though it was a slower week. Seriously look into meet and greats. I think it would give you more "fuel" for your fire. Also, make meet ups worth everyones while like iamjake, food drive, etc....
That flex!!
Jason finally got you a new MSO hat I see.
15:17 you've got a wire hanging. Locker?
Oh Beermas tree, oh Beermas tree, how thirsty are your branches...
Very sorry to hear about your friend. 58 is too young
Chris You Are Awesome! I Love Riding Shotgun With You!
Great video, how are you getting all these great photos for a one man show?
You got some cool videos, what do you do for a living and how are you able to support yourself doing all these travels, besides patreon and youtube monetization?
1:45 think like a jeep.... beee the jeep....
Dude, I just loved the Wolverine haircut. Why don’t you like the wind seems like that would be a normal occurrence?
Welcome to southern Nevada, where the wind literally tries to ruin every outside video!!
Van would be great...in theory, but you would miss out on many of the places you wouldn't be able to get to..trade offs!
How do you get video of your vehicle while you are driving ? Who takes the video ?
Mike Goodolds - The camera. Propositioned. CZcams 101
I never see you using solar or anything like that, i was wondering as a person on the road full time, how do you keep your refrigerator going 24/7 ? thanks im trying to get my truck set up for full time also.
At 4:20 what are you using there to cook? Anyone?
skottle grill
@@BrandonVelarde expensive! Thanks for the quick reply!!
WhazUpMike - He got it as a present. Not too shabby
Get this guy the Warn air compressor winch!
Jalil Burdeen I have said the same thing in many videos. But you have to ask, what would he anchor to in that area?
