- Hi Campers,
I go up to 8,730 foot Ebbetts Pass and backpack into the Carson/ Iceberg Wilderness in the northern Sierra Nevada mountains wilderness of California. I backpack into the the beautiful Pacific Valley and make camp/ cook a delicious Salmon dinner with cooked vegetables. I build a campfire and recount stories about my adventures working in Yellowstone National Park of Wyoming. The next morning I take some landscape photos of the beautiful valley and make a delicious hot breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns and coffee....then it's off to attempt to climb a 9k plus mountain peak called Bullrun Mountain high in the vast Sierra Wilderness!!
"Keep Hiking!!"

I’ll say, I can find all this camping and backpacking info elsewhere.
The reason I come back to this channel is due to your contagious happiness and gentle personality. You are contagious Chris, the enthusiasm and kindness that I can hear in your voice makes me come back to watch your videos!!! Thanks Chris
Hi Robert, Awesome, thank you! I do love it out there and sharing it!
He's a total goofball, and that's why I appreciate his videos.

Another great video Chris. I agree with some of the other folks. You can get the same pics of wilderness and camps all over RUclips, but what makes yours different is you. You bring a great relatability of spirit. I feel like you are a guy that just gets it and realizes that this is about enjoying the journey. I speak for a lot of your subscribers when I say, keep making content and rest easy in the knowledge that you make the world a better place just by being in it!
Wow thanks Gregg for a very thoughtful comment...I appreciate that! and I'll Keep going and Hiking!
Amen to your truth! Chris is Great person! 👍
We’re in our mid 70’s and have been married 55 years. We spent those years hiking and camping, as well as living in the mountains. We’ve been thinking how to continue doing what we love. We recently watched your video about your tent trailer and realized that was our answer! We’re now looking at used tent trailers. Thank you! You add such value and beauty to our lives! I never get tired of watching your videos. Thank You Jesus for you, Chris!❤️Carol
You Chris have an infectious love of life and obvious empathy and you're a highly experienced, expert hiker, but many of us who care about you, which is real, worry about your safety. I was SO happy to hear about the gun you pack. Whether it's bear spray or an appropriate gun to take down a grizzly, it pleases me to know you have those self-defense items, but they need to be at your disposal in less than a second. Because that's how fast things can go from honky-dorry to grave danger. Keep those items close and available. And we need to get you a locator beacon. It's the final piece of that ring of security you need. Breaking a leg can happen with ease in the wild. And you're not going anywhere, especially with a compound fracture. The PLB is the guarantee that SAR will be there in 6 hours or so.
🇨🇦🌞I love Chris’ happy attitude and infectious laugh! Laugh at twists thrown at you😀
Chris, I just have to tell you how much I enjoy your backpacking videos and enthusiasm for hiking and exploring. You very much inspire me and I love your helpful tips and honest thoughts. Keep it up! You bring joy and motivation to explore our great outdoors. Thank you!
Thank you Ron!
I love your enthusiasm for the outdoors, also you food menu’s, nothing like eating good in the outdoors. Happy belated birthday !!
Thanks so much!
Absolutely LOVE Your Videos Chris!! They take Me Away to a Beautiful Different World of Peace and Tranquility. I am Forever Grateful. Thank You.
Thank you Bugsy!
Happy birthday, basecamp Chris! My wife and i just started camping and we love your videos for all the great tips but especially your personality! So enthusiastic about outdoor life and just really entertaining to watch! Thanks
That is awesome! Thanks for watching and Keep Hiking!! ( and camping! )
Chris you are definitely a Leo in astrology! Leos are with a burning passion and vision to strive and achieve their goals. Leos live for adventure, and fun which never fails to make them happy. They prefer bold choices and to be surrounded by people they love. Leos know how to spend a good time and also to make others happy. Leos are well suited for leadership roles in professional environments, especially when they are given a lot of freedom and their skills match up to the tasks at hand. After hanging out with a Leo, you may leave them with the feeling of empowerment and stimulation.
Wow...very interesting...yes born in August. Thanks for the analysis. BCC

A current wildland firefighter, next time you light a fire in the woods to keep warm, clear the bottom of your pit and the surrounding area down to mineral soil. That way you won’t start the duff layer and litter layer on fire causing it to creep. It’s incredible, even when the ground is wet, things can start up and ember and smolder without smoke, and then once things dry and the wind picks up it will light up! Then boom, wild fire!
Thanks yes, especially the Sierra there is a lot of organic matter in the soil...I'll clear it out deeper...I did soak it 3x with the bear canister - about 6 gallons.
Bad weather and an experienced backpacker equals friendship
It’s my birthday and unfortunately due to severe spinal stenosis and osteoarthritis I can’t go camping anymore. I’ve been watching your videos for 8 hours straight so THANKS for the adventure.
Thank you Nanncy! Best wishes for you!!
I absolutely love your videos Chris! I’ve learned tons and have bought several of the gear you’ve suggested. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and love for this sport. It’s contagious.
My favorite videos are where you take us along on your backpacking trips.
Thanks Chris! Keep hiking!
Great to hear! Appreciated !!
I lived in Sierra City in my early 20's but my favorite job more recently was working in Crater Lake National forest. So beautiful...Happy belated Birthday Just had my 63rd...no more hiking for this old broad... grabben sun by a lake and sleepin my' own bed at night.
Sounds like a good plan Miss Sherry!
Hi Chris.
I recently came upon your page and I must say I love it!! Your videos are awesome and when I need an escape form NYC all I have to do is watch one of your adventures and I feel free. Thank you and keep em coming!!!!!
Thank you Cybella!!
Most definitely was not expecting him to say ‘that’s a grizzly bear’ 😮
Love living vicariously through these videos.
I have no idea why I find myself watching you backpack. It’s about as goofy as these kids watching other kids play video games on RUclips. Maybe backpacking is my adult version of video games.
Either way, I really enjoy your videos Chris. Absolutely love the scenery out west. I live in the foothills of the Smokies so i have some great but different scenery here myself.
I also enjoy your friendly personality. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks Tim! That's funny ...my kids are gamers.
I would be proud to call you me friend chris!
Thank you Calvin!
GREAT. CAMPING.
Love your smile Chris 😁
Such a great BCC classic! One of my all time favorites. Hiking, story telling and cooking. That area is also very known to be Sasquatchy....Thank you Chris, KH!
Thanks Austin! C
Happy belated birthday Chris. Thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into making your videos. I thoroughly enjoy watching and just going on the journey with you.

I enjoy you lighthearted camping experiences and cooking as I am disabled and can not hike anymore..
Chris- you are such a beautiful person. (Yes, I am straight). I love your videos. I am an avid backpacker. I don't go as much these days, but I appreciate you taking us along on your adventures
Thanks Edward!
What a cool story with the grizzlies! Spent some time in the wind river range and I'm glad I made it out. Could hear one sniffing around my tent in the middle of the night.
Awesome video. Scenery, stories and a pleasant likable guy. Thanks Chris.
Very welcome!
Happy Birthday … 🎂🥳🎉

Whoa ! Fabulous story .. fabulous scenery... beautiful breakfast...lovely fire...happy Birthday 2 years late ... ;-)
Thank you so much 😀
You are awesome. And I'm living vicariously through you. lol.
😊 thank you
Hello Chris, we must be about the same age from your story telling, which I thoroughly enjoy. The scenery is something else here! Keep safe as I continue to watch yr videos. I like the try a new beer out when u do yr videos. Entertaining us and giving us the viewers a real appreciation for hiking. After experiencing a bigfoot in 2018 I prefer to not go out to the trails and mountains now, for safety sake. Be alert and carry a transponder with you . And a beer helps too. Cheers from Nova Scotia!
That view in the morning was fantastic, great pictures
Keep Hiking Chris!
Thanks Calvin!
Start bringing a tiny telescope fishing pole with ya and a spinner! I carry one on all my hiking trips, always catch something 😁
Yes, I did see some Rainbows in the creek....even though it was low. Good idea.
So funny your making exactly what I have planned for this evening's dinner.
Yappy birthday 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂💯💯💯
