Thanks for watching the video folks! These are tough to make, especially with kiddos along for the ride lol. And if you like overland camping make sure you check out my buddy Edward Shin's RUclips channel. He is WAAAAAAY UNDERRATED! ruclips.net/user/KrokemOutdoors
Hey man. I’m headed up to snowqualmie in about 20 min. If you do another overnighter with your kid let me know. My daughter would love other kids to go snow camping with.
I agree! Let the little guy work.... make him a part and it'll do him so much good! I remember when I was a youngster I just wanted to do everything my dad was doing.
Having Chris along adds something special for us who's kids are in other states. It brings back great memories. I have a picture of my friends kids and mine on the front of my early bronco in Moab on one of our many trips that brings a smile to my face every time I think about it. Thanks
typically in these types of videos on other channels I have to skip through the video past the boring 'talking to the camera about nothing to fill time' parts, but these videos are wonderfully put together and easy to watch. Excellent content
@@DirtLifestyle Montana overlander here. Slush can suck for sure. Solid ice, I mean 1 inch hard solid ice is some deadly stuff. I almost went over on blue mountain near Missoula and its no joke, I had 1 tire over the edge. I am glad I wore my brown pants that day.
Love the PNW . Growing up there and being active in Boy Scouts in addition to living in the boondocks gives you an appreciation of good equipment. Literally the difference between being miserable and having a great time.
The opening statement is the most true thing I have ever heard about camping in the PNW. Spent some time in Sweden and they have a saying "there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing choice" so true for here.
My truck did better than I thought it would, and funny thing is at the end when we all topped off with fuel I used the least amount of fuel, it was definitely a fun trip although I would like less rain next time
What an epic trip!! When Edwin started sliding - wow.. Crazy the difference the approach angle and line can truly make (and ofcourse great spotting!!) Nicely done
adapting and overcoming to find the enjoyment out of the circumstances is truly the difference between that being a miserable night and it being an adventure
Great video. I love winter camping in Washington, there is nothing more miserable than 35 and rainy. We were camping in November between Adams and St. Helen's when all of the rain hit.
snow camping is my absolute favorite. forest is quiet... most people are home... you do have to work for it but it's absolutely epic. i usually have 1 or 2 snow trips in already but it's so dry here this year it just finally started snowing in Colorado.
Did gokart racing with my dad from 4-15 with my dad and the most important lesson I/we got out of it, other than driving related, was the ability to deal with being out in bad weather. The track we went to was in a valley and seemed to make up its own weather. Racing in November in the rain At 8 years old while winning my local kart championship taught me to love bad weather. There’s no bad weather only bad clothing. Also racing in the rain is the most fun experience of my life.
LOVE winter camping! Great that you showed the good and the bad - like sitting under a tarp weighed down by wet snow or rain. Also good to remember that your feet will be inside snow and ice covered boots; very cold. I wear crampons around camp so I won’t fall when the snow around camp packs to ice! In remote areas, even paved roads become treacherous. But camping in a silent, snowy forest with no bugs - wonderful!
Absolutely loved the video, you all did great! For me personally was being able to see that full size Chevy in action. As I have one myself and now I will be looking forward to doing the same. Keep those great memories rolling! 🙌🏼
LOL, when you guys broke the shovels out there was no questions about the level of dedication. I love the mindset of not letting a little physical labor get in the way of you and your goal.
I'm a winter person love camping in the winter love taking my son he's older but man it don't get any better then watching your kids put things you taught them to use
Nate, hands down the best off-road content on the internet. Love the how to videos, but your adventure vids are incredible. I know how much work goes into making something like that. Keep up the good work!
I love it. It's exactly the philosophy I have raising my kids. Introduce a bit of (controlled) chaos in order to build resilience and problem solving. We take our very little ones on backpacking and off-roading adventures like this, too. Happy to see that you all had a great time. Cheers, Nate and Chris. I hope to see more adventures with you and your family.
Epic, always love seeing you get out there with folks like Edward. Throwing a video idea here - maybe a tips/tricks/gear that make adventures like this with the kiddos easier for you?
Thumbs up all around 👍😀 Great vidio, it's real man, doesn't get any more fun,!! The huge smile on your four year old! Epic, he will remember that for ever. Thank for keepin it real. 👍❄🤏 🇨🇦 😎 😛.
So glad you guys are pushing your comfort zones. Remember, tire chains, winter tires and tire studs are your friends. When crossing those sketchy side slopes, hook up your vehicles with winch cable recovery straps etc making sure at least two vehicles stabilized to one crossing. It could save your life. As it gets later in season and avalanche danger is high plan accordingly. We had an avalanche take out a disco on route two west side of Stevens Pass. Everyone survived even though the disco took a few hundred foot scoot downslope. Get some fat wood and have everyone bring a little dry firewood in each vehicle. Get yourselves a good fire reflecting shield or even a collapsing wood stove. Your edits are getting really good brother.
Love the family stuff man!! So good! Love the lessons your trying to teach your son. I definitely need to be doing more of this with my daughter! Thanks for the inspiration!
Great video Nate. Watched after an epic snow wheeling trip in TSF in OR. I spent a couple seasons in the barracks across from the elk at the end of your video when I was on trail crew. Something to check out is High Rock Lookout in those parts, amazing building and view.
I love the rain, and I love the snow and cold. What I don't like is the combo of those things, when it's just above freezing, still cold with melting snow around you and it's raining.
Great adventure content that is worth sharing with everyone in my family. Great job while training the next camera man, fabricator , wheeling buddy. Keep living the dream.
Great video nate! Have to say the filming of this is top notch and what an adventure! I have a 4 year old daughter I’d love to get her out in the outdoors with me.
What a great experience!!!!! I miss my montana camping days. One time I got stuck in Idaho and I couldn't turn around. And I was pulling a trailer. Love this and taking your son is great.
I love the Chris cam footage. The videography and editing you do are top notch and really set your channel apart. Thanks for doing this channel it is one of my favorite by far. One day I would like to get to a place with my Jeep that I would feel confident that I could at least keep up with you on a trip.
I always can't wait to see you're videos every week!!! And with your overland trailer, it has been spot one with the way I have been trying to build mine, even down to the Harbor Freight trailer frame. Keep up the amazing work!! I'm just on the other side of the mountain from you, and would love to take my wife and daughter on a wheeling trip with you guys if there is a spot for us to go along!!
Nate the point you made about being in the snow reminds me when I used to go to the desert in California in my younger years. We would show up with very high winds, 6 foot tall fire blowing sideways wearing goggles drinking a beer, just happy not to be at home. Watching people leaving because they don't like the wind.So the point is make what you can out of the adventure & make some memories. Great shot of Edwards new truck almost going off the cliff. I bet he got his heart a pumping in that moment .
Great video! I’ve honestly had so many bad experiences in the snow I’ve avoided it like crazy. I’m determined this winter to get out of my comfort zone though cause I really want some snow camping
Yep, we've never stopped Overlanding, even with the kids who are now 5, 4, and 2, but all of them have been camping and overlanding since they were a newborn (the oldest was camping @ 3 months). So it is a part of their lives. I will say for us, moving from a ground tent to a huge RTT was a game changer for overlanding with kids. All 5 of us sleep in the RTT.
Awesome video Nate! I am jealous of your scenery, maybe one day I'll make it to the west coast. My son is coming close to 4 weeks old, I'm excited to eventually bring him on adventures with me.
I wished that I lived closer. That really looks like some amazing Territory out there. Watching from Elkview WV. That’s really great that you are taking your son out with you. I have twin daughters that are 15, and they have been wheeling with me since they were 7. Awesome video.
Dude, the family content outshines the fab and off-road content all day, as a father of 4 I love seeing it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks man 👊

how about a link?
Awesome....Chris is a lucky guy to have a good Dad that takes him out
What a huge compliment, thank you 👊
Major props for taking your son. What he will take away from these experiences will last him a lifetime.
I agree! Let the little guy work.... make him a part and it'll do him so much good! I remember when I was a youngster I just wanted to do everything my dad was doing.

Good video! I love that you do stuff with your son. We need Ed's channel.
Thanks!
Love the PNW . Growing up there and being active in Boy Scouts in addition to living in the boondocks gives you an appreciation of good equipment. Literally the difference between being miserable and having a great time.
That little boy doesn't know how lucky he is. Taught to be a true SURVIVOR from such a young age A blessed little boy...INDEED.
The opening statement is the most true thing I have ever heard about camping in the PNW. Spent some time in Sweden and they have a saying "there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing choice" so true for here.
Awesome bringing little man. Yes...teach them young. Winter camping is fun.
Some pucker moments there Ed! Whew beautiful scenery and videography as always!!
Makin Memories with your son. Thanks for sharing.
Love watching full size trucks on trails. Wish I could find a group in SoCal to join for some epic trail time.
I love seeing big diesels on these types of trails. There is just something about it that makes interesting.
My truck did better than I thought it would, and funny thing is at the end when we all topped off with fuel I used the least amount of fuel, it was definitely a fun trip although I would like less rain next time
Good Stuff brother! Looked like a blast and great time spent with lil man.
Sharing my love for wheeling and the outdoors is something I can't wait to share with my future children I'll have some day.
What an epic trip!! When Edwin started sliding - wow.. Crazy the difference the approach angle and line can truly make (and ofcourse great spotting!!) Nicely done
These places are such a different kind of pretty if you're equipped and brave enough to get there. Awesome video.
Glad to see your introducing the little one(s) at a young age. It is a very big challenge to take them out in anything but perfect weather.
Ahh, sleet. Such an enjoyable weather
adapting and overcoming to find the enjoyment out of the circumstances is truly the difference between that being a miserable night and it being an adventure
That's awesome Nate, your son is going to have memories for his lifetime. Just as it was with my dad, I have so many great memories.
Great video. I love winter camping in Washington, there is nothing more miserable than 35 and rainy. We were camping in November between Adams and St. Helen's when all of the rain hit.
Great memories for you definitely. Might have been a little sketchy but it was beautiful with the snow covered trees.

It's a nice break from the summer crowds for sure!

Nothing cooler than being able to watch two of your favorite RUclipsrs at the same time. Beautiful visuals guys. Wish I wasn’t sitting in my office.

Thank you! Glad you found us as well!
It looks like you had a wonderful trip thank you for sharing 👍😎
This is such a great channel, love everything your doing. And your and awesome dad to!
Thank you!

I watch a lot of channels about offroad vehicles and overlanding and you all have great info and good content but your videography is second to none.
Hell yeah, dude! This is great! I wish I could’ve done this with my boys.
I'm a winter person love camping in the winter love taking my son he's older but man it don't get any better then watching your kids put things you taught them to use

I'm considering this one for sure 👍
@@DirtLifestyle I think it could be a barrier for many to getting out there so would be an awesome video.
check,check, and double check that all Tonka’s and blue dino’s are accounted for. Sucks going back for em. 😉
Tire chains
@@DirtLifestyle 🙌🙌
Great outing, very inspiring.
Thumbs up all around 👍😀
Great vidio, it's real man, doesn't get any more fun,!!
The huge smile on your four year old! Epic, he will remember that for ever.
Thank for keepin it real. 👍❄🤏 🇨🇦 😎 😛.
Hunting season was always my favorite, because that meant winter camping in Wyoming for a California kid.. I loved it!
That side hill looked sketchy. Great vid man. Those memories with your son will be cherished for ever.
So glad you guys are pushing your comfort zones.

Your edits are getting really good brother.
Amazing no better feeling spending time with son or daughter love the video
Well worth it to run chains at least up front...gotta be able to turn and stop when you need to. Looked like a couple pucker spots! 🍻
Love the family stuff man!! So good! Love the lessons your trying to teach your son. I definitely need to be doing more of this with my daughter! Thanks for the inspiration!
Absolutely GREAT content and footage. Truly great streaming this episode on the big screen tv in my living room here!!!
Great video Nate. Watched after an epic snow wheeling trip in TSF in OR. I spent a couple seasons in the barracks across from the elk at the end of your video when I was on trail crew. Something to check out is High Rock Lookout in those parts, amazing building and view.
I always enjoyed winter camping in my scouting days... Both as a scout and then as a leader. I'm glad you and Chris had a good time.
Love this, excellent videographer brother. From the music to the drone footage to setting the mood and showing love for fam and friends.
I love the rain, and I love the snow and cold. What I don't like is the combo of those things, when it's just above freezing, still cold with melting snow around you and it's raining.
Love that you can do this with your little boy ❤️👍🏼
I ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!! Great JOB!!
Things that I've never got to do with my dad. Grew up in a house of girls. So happy for you guys.
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Beautiful scenery
❄️🎅🎄🙏
Blessed Family and Friends🛐
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Your Disco is stunning, my mum had one exactly the same as yours... loved it to bits
Awesome vid. Felt like 3 minutes. Thanks everyone.
Awesome video! Storyline, music, narrations… perfect
Great video. I also love Ed's channel!
Packwood, I think that's where we spent the night before we headed up to surprise lake.
Great adventure content that is worth sharing with everyone in my family. Great job while training the next camera man, fabricator , wheeling buddy. Keep living the dream.
Maybe I'm just more......outdoorsy, but this looks like an enjoyable situation to me. Beautiful scenery, fun wheeling, good friends....... 👍👍
Nice vid. We only dream about seeing snow like that in the deep south ...
I guess being in the Pac NW, if you don't go out in the rain, you don't get out much, eh?
great video and great concept! Would love to get my 5 year old out there like this as well. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great video nate! Have to say the filming of this is top notch and what an adventure! I have a 4 year old daughter I’d love to get her out in the outdoors with me.
What a great experience!!!!! I miss my montana camping days. One time I got stuck in Idaho and I couldn't turn around. And I was pulling a trailer. Love this and taking your son is great.
Love winter camping! I've got some dope spots here in CO if you ever make it out here
Your videography/editing/music is getting so dialled.
Love the content mate!
Yes man this is what real nw camping is like! That’s home for me buddy
Nice film Nate. Thanks for sharing man. Keep up the great work
Epic adventure, thanks for sharing.
Epic shots Nate. It’s so beautiful there.
Thank you!

Awsome!! Like your video!! Live WA and love the nature like you guys!! Subscribed!! Thank you! 👍👍
Beautiful filming in this one! We need a rig walk around on Dave's Toyota please.
Thank you! Maybe one day 👍
I second that, I was hoping for a quick walk around the 40.
introducing kids at a young age in the wild 🙌🏼
Keep the adventure rolling👊🏼
Awesome shots from a kids perspective!

That Power Wagon on the cliff edge....So suspenseful!
Been watching your vids for awhile dude, just hit the subscribe button. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks for coming aboard man 🙌 lots more adventures to come
Wet snow is tough. Headed home tomorrow back into the sierras where we're expecting a few feet of snow. Before we get there haha!
Making memories with your son is what it's all about.
love this content! that experience beside the cliff gave me a heart attack!!
Muy bonito el trip off road que han realizado gracias por compartir 😍
Always seems over too soon and that hill was tiooo scary. Thank God your all safe. Roll on
Holy shit when he started sliding 😮 Awesome vid pure escapism.
Yep, we've never stopped Overlanding, even with the kids who are now 5, 4, and 2, but all of them have been camping and overlanding since they were a newborn (the oldest was camping @ 3 months).

Congratulations on the new edition! It's tough at first but they just keep getting better as they get older 🙌
@@DirtLifestyle Thank you sir! I can't wait for him to start showing his personality.
Nate I love your content as it’s “real” not fabricated as some channels are…
Edwards channel looks great so I subscribed.
Awesome video! Wish we had snow like that in Tennessee, keep it up!
This like for your cute ☺️ son God bless you all
Well done man. Love these.
