    What I love most about your videos is how you capture the pure beauty of this magnificent landscape. The uninhabited beauty that's so pure and glorious. It truly is breathtaking, and I appreciate how you showcase it in your cinematography. I always watch your videos at night before bed, and I sit in the dark with a whiskey and it brings such a sense of peace. I did miss the cooking on this adventure. Thank you!

    I used to like hitting trails like this and did it a lot in my younger days, but I found I spent so much time watching the trail, avoiding obstacles, that I missed out a lot of the beautiful views. Now I use fairly easy trails and I get to revel in the beauty surrounding me. Yes I miss out on views like this but that’s why I watch you! 😉I admire you still have the guts to hit these types of trails by yourself tho. You can go your own pace and you don’t have to worry about someone else who may not have the same level skill navigating these terrains.

    I love you dude! I could see the emotions when you were standing on the cliff talking. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing YOUR journeys with us. You're AMAZING and your views are absolutely stunning! Feel like I'm watching a National Geographic channel every time. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks Chad! However I think I had nonstop heart attacks on this one, it wasnt for the weak thats for sure.

    Chad, I have been watching almost from the beginning of this channel. I can't put into words how much I enjoy and look forward to your videos. They are very well done, we all know that. But for me, I escape into another place when watching ones like this one. I do some traveling in my 4 runner that I have built up, but never really gone WAY out there like you do. It's awesome. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy watching.

A 10 second time lapse of the night sky or the multiple perspectives of a technical section of road...well done, good sir. Coupled with profound thoughts on our position in time, space, & nature. Masterclass. It was been such a pleasure watching you these last couple years as my family has built a van and begun to adventure. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the stellar work!

    You have developed some bodacious skills since you started driving the Sprinter van. Pretty freaking cool 😎! I loved the part when you reflected on "time" regarding we humans in relation to the geological events that occur around us. I live the van life but certainly not the way you live it. However, when I view spectacles such as the Grand Canyon, the Royal Gorge and the Oregon Coastline I will reflect similarly that life is too short and we need to get out and smell the roses. Awesome adventure, Chad! You rock, Bruh!

  • @backcountryoverland103
    @backcountryoverland103 8 месяцев назад

    Like it......Getting the bigger style rig out there. I have my Jeep all set up, but also a Ram 2500 CTD with a 700 pound pop-up camper. Loaded up, it can get heavy. As you mentioned, with those lower crawl ratio's and being able to "precision drive" over and through obstacles makes a huge difference, over and above momentum. I don't have that 3:1...... but the ol' 2.72:1 and a granny 1st gear in the six speed manual is right there, getting me where I want to go others don't dare with "these" bigger rigs. Many times at idle never touching the throttle. Driver skill and finesse is not to be underestimated either. Nice work.
    Love that area you were in. Recognized much background. A fun area to skunk around and find solitude and remote cliffs to sit on, and wonder about time and our miniscule selves.....
    Stay safe !
