Solo Camp in 80 -100 MPH WIND STORM at Carson Pass | Sierra Nevada Mountains

- I backpack up into the Historic and snowy Carson Pass of the northern Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Not knowing fully the weather I would encounter as the winds were expected to reach 80-100 mph in the higher elevations.
Keep Hiking!

Chris, you're just impossible to dislike. How human you are, how often you smile, laugh, and purely enjoy ever second you're outside. Even in a darned scary windstorm. I think your comment early on, "I missed the extended weather report stating..." shows your self-effacing humor as well. Bravo!
I could not agree with you more.
I know, I try to dislike him as well. Won’t happen ❤
He makes me want ta craCk a beer too 🍺 and chill by the fire. Listen to these stories
I've been in that situation in the sierras, very scary. I was most worried about a tree blowing over on my tent and crushing me to death....and I too didn't sleep all night. Good video , and thanks for sharing.
Welcome! Keep Hiking!
exactly! trees become the biggest threat. I remember a night out camping on my boyfriends parents land. we set up in the open because it was so windy we were worried about the trees. why we didn't just pack it in & go home on the 4 wheeler, I don't know... glad we didn't though, it was fun! I slept fine in his arms, I think he was the restless one. ;)
I worried that a large branch might fall on Chris.
Seems like ear plugs might help for sleeping
Recently I was watching a camping show with really high winds and they pitched there tent close to a open spot close to a cliff all I could think about was that wind picking up the tent with the person and chucking him over the cliff I was a nervous reck just watching!
This is a good example of why we Christians need to pray for those who take risks to give us such wonderful, educational videos.
Religion has nothing to do with camping enjoy it for what it is
@@AMZNFBA God is. He is everywhere. God has to do with everything, including you.
@@kathleennorton2228 Welllll, given that christianity is not even 2000 years old and is cobbled together from the sagas and teachings of other Indo-European religions that came before it ... and given that for tens of thousands of years before that most human societies were ruled according to female/mother deities who we now just call MOTHER NATURE ... and given that Nature's eternal, immutable laws, i.e. physics, rule the galaxies and beyond, I'd say Nature is everywhere, as every single living thing is subject to the natural laws no matter what faith or no faith that living thing has.
But you and I certainly agree that we ALL wish Chris the best always and are grateful for his existence and his selfless dedication to sharing his beloved hobby with us.
Tent camping in a hurricane, with a history lesson thrown in! You the man! Impressive, glad i was in my warm house watching this. Thanks for another memorable adventure!
Good stuff! Thanks for watching Bill...
and sadly the last adventure . Its all storytelling now . Later bro . Loved it while it lasted.
I like the camping / story telling format.
@@tdiler12 bu-bye
@@tdiler12I know this is a yr old but what did you mean by the last adventure?
Criss, this was your very best show ever. It was 4 real, all the way. THANK YOU I know it wasn't easy. I had one simular years ago, but with only 80 mph winds. It shredded my tent.
Lewie
Wow, thank you
I love watching you eat, Chris!!! You earned it!⛷️
I forgot my earplugs on my most recent mountain camp and had pretty bad wind and rain. Couldn’t sleep so I just shoved wadded up tissue paper in my ears and tossed and turned all night. And here you are giving a little history lesson in the middle of the night. Haha loved it!! New subscriber! ATB
kept me calm to talk about a little history...Donner party was no party!
@@basecampchris omg 😱 that’s for sure
Packing up our recently sold home( Praise God!) and discovered your channel. I love me some Bigfoot stories..so now I'm bing-watching your channel while packing up said house! I love the stories!!
🎉🎉🎉
Wow..!! It takes a Special Gentle Man to be so chirpy about Camping in a Hurricane Storm.?!! It truly is lovely to see such a Happy Chappy and everyone can see you’re a Half-Full kinda Man, especially during these difficult times to be here with such Happiness and Grace - this warms my heart..! Thank you so much..!
My pleasure! Thanks_I do love it out there.
Thank you Chris for taking us up to the mountains with you , it’s a beautiful gift 🎁 😊
Really enjoyed watching this and hearing about the history of this beautiful yet rugged area. I grew up camping with my family and this is the only way to refuel spiritually and physically. Really glad that you made it through the storm safely. God Bless
I love reading all the comments on this video. I got a real good kick out of watching you maneuver the wind and keep your cool. If I had been there with you...I see myself laughing the whole time. I was almost laughing just sitting in my recliner. But I did have to finish watching to see if you made it out alive. Holy 🐄 cow! Your a brave hero 👏 💪 💙 strong man. I love camping 🏕 I'm a happy camper! 😊
A great camping adventure AND a history lesson...fantastic! Man, that was some brutal wind! You're right, thank God it wasn't snowing, scary to think about. The tent withstood it like a trooper, great choice on that purchase. This was a great video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it...Thanks DA!!
@@basecampchris But FYI -- please don't think you need to put yourself in danger to keep us tuned in! ;-D All of your videos are enjoyable -- thanks for sharing your journeys with us!
Haha nice, you posted this on my birthday lol Nov 7th 1977 lol As a Georgia boy, weather like that puts us southern folks to sleep, good storms, rain on a tin roof, perfect sleep every time lmao
They should be paying you for this vid dude, best advert they'll ever get!
Glad you made it back OK
Thanks Nikki!
One of the best 'bad weather' videos on RUclips. Enjoyed watching.
Definitely in my top 5 Base Camp Chris videos! Kept me on edge of my seat!
Good to know...yes - kept me on the edge of my seat too!!
The stitching and quality of your tent is nothing short of amazing. You were getting winds like they get on Everest. Drop REI a note and tell them of your night. I'm sure they would be interested.
Had the tent NOT held up, your experience would have been truly a nightmare. This overnight camp experience proves that a person should have the very best equipment.........your life may depend on it. Glad you made it through safely.
Awesome, thank you! Yes, It has served me well!
Favorite part of the video is when you break camp, the sun trying to break through the wonderful 🌈 and the music thank you
Wow!!! What an adventure! The times I've been most alive was when I was close to death! I'm 65 now this brought back great memories. Thank you.
Years ago was in a very similar situation on a small mountain with unexpected high winds and rain, it was definitely unsettling to say the least. Glad you made it down safely. Thanks for sharing! :) :)
Oh wow! Rain adds another dimension! Thanks!
Chris you have such a great attitude in a bad situation you the man
Right!? He's just a happy spirit!
Amazing wind storm Chris. You put the tent to the test. It’s what makes a story. Good work keeping positive.
Thanks 👍 Appreciate it.
Rei makes some awesome tents. I have used the 3 man Half Dome and in one camp mine was the only one standing when others got torn up and scattered. Yes the poles deformed momentarily, no breakage. Winter camping with heavy snow shed from it. Hurrah for Half Dome REI tents.
Good stuff! Makes ya look forward to the weather.
The more of you I watch, the greater my respect for you. I salute you!
💫🥀✨️
Wow! That wind is raging... I'm glad that you made it thought the night without blowing away. I enjoyed the history lesson too. I think this video will make a compelling case for the tent. Thanks for an awesome video, Chris!
Welcome ATJ!
Moral of the story: Be prepared. Solid temp. Communication. Food. Keeping your head. Thanks for taking us along.
That wind is insane!!!! Wow!!! Great job getting through it!
Very much! Thanks!
I take my hat off to you Chris. I would have needed a nappy having to go through a night like that I can tell you.
Glad you made it safe and well and I bet you slept like a log the following night.
All the best Chris and thankyou for all your endeavors and always with a smile, respect to you sir
Thanks 👍Tarris!
Well this is one my wife is never allowed to see. Glad you’re safe.
Thank you Christopher!
Thank God you made it Chris!!!!!
In review moving the tent saved you from what could have been a nightmare . Good job Chris, good job rei .very impressed with your adventure great experience.
Thanks Charles!
This was awesome!
I don’t know where the quote comes from, but “it’s not an adventure until everything goes wrong”
Keeping the positive attitude is so key on dicey occasions…
And having good gear that you can have trust in.
Loved the video
Awesome as always Chris! I almost came out to frog lake and elephant’s back but decided to do just a day hike up Mt. Rose. Still nearly got blown off the peak by that same windstorm, it was absolutely no joke!
Yes - a lot of exposure up Mont Rose/ Good country! Glad you made it back save!
Good tracking Chris, you had me a little worried there for a while. Yes I remember the donner and Sutter expedition, I wonder how many times back in the early 1900s, 1800s, 1700s 1600s and on back where people were out in the middle of nowhere and had accidents or wild animals got them. My dad and uncle's we're way out in the country in the middle of nowhere going or coming someplace and a bad snow storm came up and the temperature was around freezing and I don't think they were dressed all that warm and they figured they were going to die and all of a sudden some guy comes along driving a tractor and saved them. Well keep hiking and enjoy the sights and maybe I'll catch you out in the woods somewhere, bye now.
🤦🏼♀️💪🙏👍💙 congratulations for making it through that night! Wow! Good job! I have to say I was a bit worried, for you. You did it.
That was really quite an adventure, thanks for taking us along.👍🇺🇲💯
It's always best to buy as much food which lifts your spirits. Nothing like on a bad night/day to eat something which just makes you happy. Makes life a lot easier to handle. Thanks for the video Chris. Liked, and Shared. Woah, that wind sure is strong Chris. It is a good thing you moved your tent.
Love your video I’m living vicariously through you 🇺🇸
Thanks Cherl! Keep Hiking!
Oh my goodness!! This was truly a nail biter for me…no joke! I’m so glad you moved your tent and guy’d it to those trees. What an amazing storm there. Bravo for getting it all packed away without losing anything.🧡 So happy you made it to your car safe n sound.
Excellent adventure!!♥️🏕
Thank you Kathy!! KP HKNG!
You often make my day. Highly enjoyable. Unless you did it for entertainment purposes, we love the weather channel brother. Take care!!
Great tent, near perfect placement. Incredible video that still gives me anxiety from my warm bed.
It was a long night....kept my composure...but was getting cranky after 4am! LOL Thanks for watching.
@@basecampchris To me it was far more interesting than watching most movies out. This had real drama to it.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF IN YOUR JOURNEY & TRAVELS MR.CHRIS MANY,MANY, BLESSING'S FROM MY HEART TO YOURS JUST BE CAREFUL
That's an epic video. I watched it with my daughter and we were impressed about how calm and in control you looked. We've been trough quit a blast last year in Northern British Columbia at 1800m but nothing compared to this. Glad you made it safely.
Thanks Jean!
Thank you, Chris, for taking us on your camping trip! Reminds me of the months I spent living, hiking, and camping in the Canadian Rockies.
A 55 min base camp Chris !!!! Awesome !! Love the video, excellent test for the tent, beautiful footage, get home and get some sleep lol.
Thank you Indian Hemlock! Always appreciate it.
Loved the music. And even I was relieved when you spotted your truck!
Thank you so much for sharing your great adventure Chris! I always enjoy your trips and your stories very much. You are an inspiration! 💗😊🏕🏕🏕
I absolutely love all your videos . So soothing when I’m having anxiety. Love all your stories. You are truly a genuine one. So refreshing in this crazy world 🤗
Love how yours was the only car at that popular trailhead. Try that in the summer.
Yes it is a popular trailhead. I tend to avoid the crowds.
@@basecampchris Yes it actually ruins the backcountry experience.---- We're all just glad Chris didn't blow off of the Sierra crest.
Really enjoyed the camp-out. You know what to do, and I like that. I was concerned about the tree limbs, but everything worked out. A good video. Thank you for including us on your trips. I have never camped out in a tent before, but hey, I may one day. Stay safe Chris. Deme in Bama.
That there is some crazy wind! Im loving the mountain man theme. Keep'em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Pretty amazing!!
Great video!!
Keep Hiking!!
Thank you! Will do!
Wow, what an adventure, glad you made it out in 1 piece.
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations you have earned ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️🙏🙏👍👍🙏
Many many thanks
Glad you are okay. Relentless storm but great idea to move and re-anchor the tent. Hell of a night man.
Thank you Harry...got through it. BCC
Thank you Harry...got through it. BCC
Holy cow! That was scary. So glad it ended well!!🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Omg, I couldn’t stop watching! I had to see how it all turned out. Yes, I was thankful to be in my house, snuggled down in my warm bed, with my two little dogs snuggled close to me! I felt so bad for you and kept my fingers crossed that your tent would hold fast. I had to wonder if you would have gone to Plan B had you listened to the complete weather report! Lesson learned! Glad you made it out and hope you were able to nap
later! Keep ‘em coming!
Had that kind of wind on the Nova Scotia Coast 1 tent blue away right into the ocean with sleeping bags in it. must get those stakes in first, the p o l e almost broke during setup. The fun of motorcycle camping, love it.
Sounds like you a had a Wild night as well. KP HKNG!
I was camping at Iron Mountain Snow Park out on the point on February 9th, 2020. The forecast was for winds up to 30 miles per hour and temps in the mid 30s and we were a little over-prepared for those conditions which is what you want in the winter, right. The winds started around midnight as forecast, but quickly escalated to some pretty scary gusts. I have some video from the inside of my tent throughout the night. It was awful around 4AM. The video looks like it is being attacked on the outside. It sounded like a jet engine coming at you. One of my snow stakes eventually worked loose, so I had to hold one end with my chair over my head so I could get some sleep. We had a heck of a time going back up the hill to the parking lot. Gusts were so bad that it was knocking me sideways and pushing my sled, and that was with stopping, bracing myself and trying to stay low. It was crazy! Two of my friends were knocked over on the way up. The worst was getting up near the parking lot and have a tree fall right behind me. I started running (as best you can in snowshoes pulling a sled) and it hit my sled and my backpack. Geez…I know I was lucky. Amazing how quickly the weather can turn up there. We had snow beating down on us to top it off. An experience like that makes you really appreciate calm days up there. The NWS said the Kirkwood weather station reported winds up to 205 mph (although there was discussion that was a false reading). I talked to a person at the Reno NWS and they said the winds were likely well over 130+ mph in our area. I can attest to that! They shut Kirkwood and a couple other ski resorts down because of the crazy winds. A huge tree fell across the road too, but we managed to drag parts of it away so we could get out. Definitely an adventure we will remember forever. I’m glad you made it out ok. I’m surprised you were able to keep your camera standing. LOL!
Thank you Maryann! appreciate all the info! BCC
At least you can now say you have experienced AND survived it… great job chris nerves of steal! ‘Teaches N a storm’ is your new TRAIL NAME
Thank you Calvin...It helped to focus on other things during the storm...like some early history. Like the Trail Name!
Always be safe Chris
WOW. This is gripping to watch and the history lesson makes it perfect to watch. Greeting from UK. Best storm video so far.
Thank you so much Iqra! KP HKNG!
In the beginning I was laughing my head off but after a bit I realized the dangerI could feel what you must have been going through. The best video ever. Better than survival man (which I haven't seen in years).
Hello Chris, after this outing, you should change your name to
Mr. Adventure. Great video Chris.
I'm happy that you made it out ok.
🤗
I like it! Thanks Ronald!
That wind is causing me anxiety. I would be a wreck if I were camping there. I’m thankful to be in my warm, cozy house right now!
That wind was wicked scary! Don't know how you stayed so calm! 😮
We can hear you. Im glad you got the better tent. So glad we are with you. I am glad you have a personal locater. I will be staying with you until you get out. Double rainbow, what a great way to end an awful night. Cheers to ya, Chris!!
Thanks!!🐻
Wow that wind was crazy! But what a Adventure !!! I think its awesome !!

Wow that was beyond exciting thank you Chris
You bet
Great video Chris, very impressed with the tent. Glad the snow stayed off for you 🙂
Me too! Thank you!
I really enjoyed this episode, I do love all of them but this was different hearing the elements. The sound of the wind sounds like the ocean. So glad you made it through thanks from the UK
Awesome, thank you!

Wow, hope u got some sleep. What an adventure!!! Glad u got out ok. That was just a taste of the craziness that the early settlers experienced. Wow!
Exactly...they had to cross the entire range with families...no roads either.
My nerves are shot…idk how you’re so calm
I blew away in my imagination 20x already
Hey Erin - Unplanned crazy night....tent made the difference. and my acceptance that I wasn't really going to sleep.
Almost as epic as Nickolas Green’s “camping in a blizzard” video 👍 Thanks for having us along! Enjoyed the history bits, wish more people did that.
Thank you Fred!
Was that his 70 sub special? If so that's a legendary video! Lol ... great young man he turned into
Chris I have been watching your videos for a while You are very talented in story telling . Many of your videos remind me of backpacking and camping with my family in the summer. We never saw or heard big foot. Keep the stories coming. Love your channel
Hello Chris, thank you for sharing another awesome video. You certainly have a lot of energy and endurance to embark on such a challenging campout. During the winter, The Ebbets Pass Hwy. #4 tends to close just East of the Bear Valley ski resort. I will check out the REI Arete 2 tent. All the best to you Chris. Stay safe and healthy out there. See you again on your next video. Thank you for sharing the Kit Carson story. 🤗
Thank you Ronald.
Amazing video and great shots! I really enjoyed watching
You, Sir have earned a like and sub because of the history talk. Oh, and the awesome video where you survive and entertain through ridiculous weather. That was nice too.
Much appreciated! Keep Hiking!
hello again! my best friend and camping partner bought the kelty cosmic down zero degree. and im jealous. hes a cold sleeper and he does hammocks and tents and all he uses is this zero degree bag and im so jealous cuz its soooo nice and every night we go he stays sooooo warm and it is worth every cent and it lofts so nice. i have a nice big agnes and i wish i had his kelty!!! if u buy it u will regret nothing. u may even wanna buy another cuz u fell in love with it haha. it is such a warm bag and roomy enough. my friend is 6 foot 1 and he bought the long version and its been so true to the warmth. even in a hammock and no underquilt he was toasty this one night. no joke.
Thanks for the info...will be ordering one soon.
Watched your stormcamping again you remind me of Reinhold Messners Himalayas Campain...... awesome......well done 🍀🍀🍀✨️🍀✨️🍀💚
Keep the vids coming, excellent content and love each and every story you share along your travels, thanks!
Try to remember to say your prayers when in situations like this. God will protect you and give you comfort.
I am eating chicken noodle soup as I am watching this.
I'm having warmed tortilla chips with melted cheese and jalapeños with my soup.
It kind of feels like we are eating together.
Thank God that your tent held up!
Praise Jesus!
Dang I was anxious for you! Glad you made it through safe!
Thank you.
Glad you made it out safely, no doubt. Gorgeous area that Mokelumne wilderness, have backpacked throughout. BTW pronunciation is >MAH-COLUMN-knee. Mokelumne Wilderness. 👍👌😁
Thanks...I getting it! Great Wilderness.... part of the 1964 original Wilderness Bill!!
Damn buddy the Best video I’ve watched period. Glad you made it out safely. Keep hiking.
Thanks DrDennis!
Fantastic well done sir. Most impressive.
What an unbelievable night that was Chris. It felt every moment of it with you in that awesome tent. A truly great product .. you get what you pay for that's for sure. Incredible vlig in the circumstances mate so thanks heaps for sharing this one. Bushyboy Oz.
Thanks Ewen!
Awesome adventure.
I’ve used an army surplus extreme cold weather mummy bag for years. It’s heavy but worth it. If it gets wet I use two old horsehair army blankets inside the mummy bag. It doesn’t matter if they’re soaked they’ll still keep you warm.
Frog Lake! I hiked through there with my daughters a couple of years ago in late October. It was frozen over and we skipped rocks across the ice to hear that neat weird sound sound of the frozen ice. That area is one of the most beautiful spots in the Sierras. It’s like the Swiss alps. In the spring time, wild flowers bloom. Amazing.
Yes...I have heard and seen photos of the flowers in the meadows....will do some spring trips to catch that!! Thanks for watching!
@@basecampchris A lot of flowers in July.
Thanks for leading me to bomb proof tent. ✌😄✌
Glad you made it thru the wind safely!
Welcome!
Watching again. This was epic! Please bring back your camping vids!❤
Big effort mate. Well done. Really enjoying your vids. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Fred!
Wow Chris! Glad that you got out safely and had ALL the gear for that situation 👍. Thanks for sharing🤩
The history lesson was the highlight of this presentation. Much appreciated. Would like to see you do a video, using period materials and methods . Best Regards.
Great suggestion!
Wow, great adventure in adverse weather . The tent was great , nice scenery and.editing
Thank you very much!
