V8E7: Rendezvous in the Desert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 фев 2020
- The week commences in the desert of SoCal, off a long-forgotten track. I settle in for a couple of nights, explore my surroundings, prepare meals of varying quality, and perform some tests on my Webasto heater. Later in the week, I backtrack to Quartzsite, Arizona, where I attend the 10th Annual American Adventurist Desert Rendezvous; a family-oriented gathering for vehicle-supported adventure enthusiasts.
Thanks for picking up someone else’s trash. If everyone were to do this, the world would be a better place.
Amen.
During my time as a Army tanker our tanks used a simular style heater.We had a couple rules when it came to using the heater
1. If we turned the heater on it stayed on for no less than 1 HR.
2. When you turn it off it stays off for at least 1 HR .
3. Avoid running it on high, don't go from high to off let it run on low 30 minutes or so first.
4. Carry a few extra parts igniter ,starter , burn cup, fuel line hose and hoes clamp etc.
This may help extend the run time of your heater. Stay safe
We always love your videos - so relaxing. Keep up the great work!
You do love a toasted sandwich. In Australia we call them toastie sangas. I know it was probably a joke but m and ms on a sanga???? I laughed when I saw that.
Still the best overlanding series on RUclips.
I was going to say something about the M&Ms as well...of course, if it has been up here in Canada, they would have been Smarties. But then again, M&Ms are a copy of Smarties, which were "cloned" in the 1930s by Forrest Mars after seeing Smarties eaten by British and, I would guess Canadian troops during the Spanish Civil war. Smarties have been made in the UK since 1880's, and Canada since 1918.
@@FarrellMcGovern that's interesting, we have a smarties here in Australia and I had them where I grew up in Christchurch, New Zealand. I like them both but not on a sandwich. I'm not showing my kids this video or they may get some ideas.
@@JC-zt1zu re: not letting your kids see the M&Ms as a sandwich ingredient... VERY SMART!!!! :-)
I am guessing that Smarties are available in most former Commonwealth counties. There is a candy in the US called "Smarties", but they are very different, and are what we have in Canada, but are sold under the name of Rockets. Yes, candy naming can be a confusing place....
I love it! The humor is awesome.
This was wonderful...Thanks for sharing the desert w us...Im always amazed at the rocks and the flowers.
Love these videos! I’m really learning to love the desert, have to since I’m in west Texas, so far from anything!! Enjoy all your meals and it’s great all the connections you have. Glad you weren’t stranded. Safe travels!
This vlog just gets better and better! Thanks Chris for sharing your beautiful story!!
Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures Chris!
Great. I love that your back in the Southwest. Room to breath and can see forever. Thanks
Great idea showing the aftermath of the event. Way to show the core values of a adventure overlander 👍
Great video! Though my wife and I tour by motorcycle, and sometimes with our RV, I’m getting some good ideas and inspiration from your posts. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there.
Great video Chris..
Thank you. 👍🙏👏🇺🇸
Safe travels.
Gotta love the desert ! It makes all the things in your head seem very small - a very refreshing change of perspective. I think A desert trip is in my near future. Thanks for the reminder...
Great video Chris! Thanks for sharing your adventure! Food looked amazing
Great video as always, Chris! Worth the wait!! Keep on adventuring!
Im glad your back in my neck of the woods. I hope I see you on the trails.
Great fun, camping with like minded folks. I miss the smell of a group campfire, everyone talking at once and all the different conversations going on . Haven’t been around a campfire since last October, Great stuff Chris. Thank you
I genuinely enjoy your videos. Keep 'em coming.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing!
Chris: I’m just going for something light and easy
Chris: *throws m&ms on sandwiches
Okay Guy Fieri 👨🍳
Good to see you’re still going strong, Chris! All the best to you!
Hey Chris another great post me and my wife always look forward to watching your post Saturday morning with our coffee safe travels my friend :-)
Thanks for letting us come along,great show.
As always, great video.nice to hang out with that group and educational and fun! Sorry about your heater, aometimes its nice to wait before trying out a new product, make sure there arent any bugs.stay safe
Great video again, thank you.
One nice thing about Jeeps is the fact that there are an infinite amount of third party add-ons available. The down side is there can be problems such as with your heater. However, I do admire your attitude and problem solving techniques when problems arise. You adapt, persevere, and overcome; with a successful solution as an end result. Great episode Chris. Glad you had a great time.
Missed you this last weekend glad to see you were ok and having an awesome time look forward to this weekends episode🎬🎥🏃👍
I always enjoy following your adventure when I wake up on the weekend. Following you since the Beginning. it would be very interesting that you go toward Panama. I can even join you from Playa del carmen all the way to Panama City! Don't worry man I will be there to protect you like a brother! I wish we meet in Person one day! Keep going! We love it! Robert
Very nice meeting and nice food
Thanks for the movie, look forward for the next
I bless you Chris with joy, peace, love and abundance in your life. I bless your YT Channel and all that follow you.
Good times, great video...
Wow glad you posted Chris. Better late than never. I was getting a little worried about you. Good to see your alright.
Tuko829 he said last week in the video he was going to b a little late this week
Yeah but he said Monday not Tuesday at 1 am 🤣🤣
The more I watch your excellent videos the more envious I am of the amount of space you have to play in. Here in the UK we could never do anything like you’re doing without a group throwing all the toys out of the pram.
Oh man what a treat. Gooding to enjoy this when I get off hear shortly.
@Chris Valin haha! Wording 0-10 on my part.
Great video Chris and great event ,I hope someday I can travel like that. Cheers
I bet that cement with the 19 on it was a time capsule...
Rain looked fun. We got serious adventure envy tonight watching this week’s video!!
Great video Chris. We enjoyed it!
Wow, Chris. You are loving the dream and love watching the videos. I like your content, cinematography, and editing. Oh, and your gear selection is very inspiring
I’ve been binge-watching your videos. Marvelous content. On a side note; it’s amazing how many mylar balloons you find!
Great to see that campground left spotless! There’s no excuse for leaving garbage and a mess behind!
Another great video Chris,
That food looked awesome. Inspiring channel.
Regards
Mark
Nice midweek treat to watch this episode!!!
Really wish I could have made it out there. Blew a tire and busted a mirror on a trail near Superior, AZ the week before. Looked like a good time. Another great video Chris
Always Great!!
Hey... memories....that green and white fj-55, guessing a 72' is what I learned to drive in.
Dad went and sold it to a neighbors kid. I was so peeved I didn't talk to Dad for a month. Had many many great camping trips in very remote areas. Back then it was just called Camping so it cost much less than Overlanding though.
In Chris Farley's day it was called sleeping in a van down by the river!
I liked that little Renegade with the roof top tent. Was thinking of getting a roof top like that for my little Renegade Trailhawk.
Been suffering withdrawals! Glad your back!
I'm new to your channel and to the sport of over landing. You have great content. I love your photography.
great food, great friends, and great travel. It was a great week
Another enjoyable video. Great. Vehicle top tents are big in Australia I found out, Crocodiles....seem to be good here too. Thanks
Another great video..
The desert always has awesome flowers!
I went to the first few desert rendezvous'. I have missed the last few cause I am in TX. Need to catch them again. Nice coverage.
Great video Chris 👍🇺🇸
There's no place like the southwest deserts!
+socorro scow> Amen brother!
It was a pleasure to chat with you this weekend, Chris. Safe travels.
I had a similar issue in my 2013 jku, lurching, and dash indicators. Also would get milder symptoms like just having the lights flash once or twice, speedo needle jumping, and cruise control kicking off without the lurch. I never had a rough idle though. Ended up being as simple as a bad connection at the negative battery terminal. The clamps are terrible. Anyways, just seemed worth sharing. Absolutely love your videos, I never miss one. Safe travels!
Having owned a pizza shop for 35 years. Discovered that the shredded cheese had too much surface area and dries in package. They don’t melt well at all . Used sliced motz you will see the difference. Also takes up less room , no air in sliced cheese.
Interesting
That's kind of nonsense though. The reason shredded cheese often doesn't melt well is that it is often coated in corn starch to make it not stick together in the bag. Decent quality commercial cheese shouldn't have the coating and will melt fine.
As usual, fantastic. Always a great adventure. As a future meal idea, why not mix up a batch of Sloppy Joe's! They are easy to cook and prepare and will last for a couple of meals. Be safe, God bless
Thanks Chris, have a great week!
Awesome video and your humor is priceless. 🥪 🍫 😂
Great vid and adventure loved the start date Feb 17 th was my birthday great gift Chris
Look at all the Ursa's ,,, recognized most of them. Wish I could have been there. Looked like a great time.
Awesome meeting you this weekend Chris at the 2020 Desert Rendezvous. 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Space, the final frontier! Nothing like a clear star filled night sky. Maybe it's time for a trip to Houston Space Center or Kennedy space center with Cole... Safe travels, Perry
Chris. You seem to be happier in a solo environment. Safe travels buddy.
Dude you're a pro at cooking!!
Great video. I love the hat it’s a combination of Indiana Jones and Ranger Smith (Yogi Bear Jellystone Park) 👍
Fabulous picture!
I love that his answer to eating healthier is to put spinach on everything...lol
And M&M's!!!!!
I was in Quartzite on Monday & Tuesday, wish I'd known you were so close!
I can look at stars all night. Give the "Sky Map" app a try, really neat for viewing constellations and planets.
the area where you camped and hiked looks like a remote area where my husband and i camped before it was called overlanding in 1995. the old roads, concrete remnants, and metal were from general patton's desert training center used around 1942. it was extensive - according to wikipedia: it stretched from the outskirts of Pomona, California eastward to within 50 miles of Phoenix, Arizona, southward to the suburbs of Yuma, Arizona and northward into the southern tip of Nevada. where we camped, the concrete slabs were from barracks.
Fantastic video!! I've never heard of American Adventurist... definitely going to look into them. It's more my speed. Where I'm at, seems all folks want to do is sling mud and climb rocks..
Also, subbed 👍
Chris...have been watching your videos for years. But Dude I am happy you now have a travel partner..Jeep on brother
The comment made regarding working in a cubicle and thinking about being on an adventure, reminded me of Edward Abbey’s great quote; “One final paragraph; do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am, a reluctant enthusiast, a part time crusader,a half hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. ........”. Words to live by. Thanks to Edward Abby for inspiration and to you Chris for living the ideal.
So at one point I had to stop the video and get myself something to eat, watching all that food, plus your cooking I had to "get feed" ! I also threw my back pack on the bed and prepared for the day but not until I watched the rest of your video. Thanks for all your time and effort.
Those pizzas on the grill look great! If you make it up to NorCal we'll do up some dutch oven campfire pizza for you!
Lucky you, it was just a loose electrical connection. Last year, when I was driving back to Seattle from Glacier NP, my transmission blew while passing someone at a mountain pass near the Montana-Idaho border. I had to replace the transmission, which cost me $6k and without my JKUR for a month.
Love the van man, pullin a jeep with a decked out van, doesn't get any better than that.
Baja blast for the win, best part of taco bell!!
shame about your heater acting up, thanks for sharing Chris!
Your videos are awesome. Love the footage and your super upbeat personality! A few random questions: 1) do you have an alarm or video surveillance security system for your rig? (Fearful or anyone stealing your gear or breaking into your car when you’re out on a trail?). If so what system do you use?
2) Thanks for the great mechanical tip when car was sluggish! How did you know where to find what part to unplug? (Did they send you a photo or video?).
3) I like the black table and chair you’re using? What brand is it and where do you store it when not in use? Does it fit on the roof rack?
4) what brand roof top tent do you have? Or is this the Ursa minor? (What a dream!).
Great milkshakes in Quartzsite!!!
That pizza looks awesome for overlanding pizza.
18:22 Ursa Minor promo shot. Looks like Justin Pitcairn's jeep across the way.
Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
there were a lot of hard rock and placer mining areas out there in the Mojave desert in the early 1900s it is probably a corner marker from 19xx and broken off...
Nice to see you with like-minded people.
Just wanted you to know that I watch your videos on x1.5 speed. Very entertaining.
It ain't much, but it's honest work.
Love the comedy!! I prefer twizzlers with turkey
I want to know where that road goes headed up into those mountains!
The banks of that dry river bed were deposited by fierce water movement. Would be a good place to use a metal detector!
Was watching a video on the El Camino Del Diablo trail might be one to check out
I should be there putting on a seminar!
Great story line as always! Did you lost your car front number plate or its just not necessary in US?
Brave soul...eating Taco Smell right before heading back offgrid!
M and M’s........🤣
That pizza crunch almost sounds fake it was so perfect lol.
High-Quality Video
