Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I know it's been awhile since I have posted. A lot of you know my jeep got broken into back in September and it's been a tough few months to bounce back to say the least. Filming and editing this video brought back a lot of the motivation and creativity that I’ve been lacking over the last few months. I can't thank you guys enough for the kind words and support over the last year and for helping grow this channel to 275,000 subscribers! It's been a wild ride and I'm very excited for what's to come in 2022!
People are garbage. You got it brudda 🙏🏾
Sorry about the break-in, glad you're back making content. Best of luck and stay safe. Merry Christmas!
Dude you are awesome! Thank you for your heart and passion. The fact that you are back after that unfortunate experience shows who you are and encourages me in some many ways. Thank you again for all that you do and many blessings brotha
Happy Holidays, Drew. I'm really sorry to hear what happened in September. You may want to hide your Plate # for future safety. Glad you are back in action. Love your work. Cheers from Toronto!
I always look forward to your videos! Especially the winter ones. The longer the wait the more astonishing your videos become! You make amazing content👍keep up the amazing work
I honestly cannot emphasize how much I look forward to your videos. Specially winter videos. As a person who has never seen snow in my life, love that I'm able to experience it vicariously through your videos.

Tfs! Such a beautiful video. I'm so sorry your things were stolen.
I second this
Seriously! I’ve been checking your channel for months now waiting for another video. I wish you all the best moving forward.
Love to hear you enjoyed this one! Hopefully you can get out and see some snow for yourself soon!
Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
Can we please just admire how much goes into this camera work, the clips and scenes are insane and takes so much dedication that goes unseen. Absolutely amazing brother. Love it
Holy I know. All the different spots he sets up. Ton of work. Makes me miss the outdoors
Drew, from someone who makes their living full time doing video production, I just want to take a moment and say how incredibly talented you are. You can really tell how much care and effort you put in to your work, and the result is something absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Honestly speaking, the amount of dedication this man possess is visible through the shots he take , absolutely amazing
i was think the same thing like just to film the drive he must have stopped to set up the camera a over a dozen times. this mans dedication is amazing it it really shows
That's some Academy Award worthy cinematography
Some people don't understand, staying at your place , enjoying your meal and have fun alone is fucking priceless . Simply no bullshit.Enjoy the silence,the calmness around you 🌱🍀❤️
Blown away from that bombastic intro Drew. What an amazing country and views. So sorry to hear about those grubs stealing your stuff. Good to hear you didn't give in, got back on your feet and endured after this. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Thanks man! Nothing to do but move forward from the situation!
Absolutely in love with your videos Drew and that set up is an absolute dream, especially in those conditions. Sorry to hear your Jeep got broken into as I can only imagine how painful that must have felt. Look forward to more videos whenever they come. 🤙🏼
Thanks Will! Was a bummer but glad to be back out and feeling better than ever. Thanks for the support man
@@drewsimms Happy New Year... Let's all stay safe and healthy!
@@drewsimms Yeah man. Sorry to hear you got robbed, that sucks.
what a dreamy comment
What kind of crazy beautiful countryside is central Oregon? Amazing. Surreal. Fantastic photography.
The shots and scenery is absolutely breathtaking. I love watching these
Dude I'm so sorry to hear about what happened and glad you've been able to come back even stronger than ever! Really needed this today, your videos mean the world to us people who are a little tied down and unable to get out for a solo camping adventure
Thanks Andrea! Feels good to be back. Hopefully you can get out on your own adventures in the new year!
@@drewsimms Look Up ketoCarnivore eating as the sugar gives you highs and lows. You can get away with sugar/bread/pasta/seed oils but they will take a toll someday. I see the unique video shots and know the time you took to get these. The edits and waterfall shots are first rate! Remember Oregon is in trouble politically defundingP0LICEandAllowingCrimeWithN0punishment. Stay safe and frosty sir!
@@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline 🤡🤡🤡 🧟♂️🥩
I absolutely love Drew’s videos. I turn everything else off and completely immerse myself in the sensory experience these videos give. I don’t even know how Drew manages to make me feel the way I do with these videos! These snow camping ones really hit the spot. 10/10
Love to hear that. And love to hear that you really get into it while you're watching! Hope you have a good holiday Dale!
@@drewsimms where did you get the instrumental from that song stay same wave ?
Drew, you have no idea how much I wish I was you. Being able to live this life, being able to enjoy solitude in a snow clad world....
Drew, you're a darn one man movie studio. A gifted photographer videographer, editor, actor, story and screen writer. What are you going to be when you grow up? Oh, and a chef on the side. I keep coming back just to get into the groove. Truly amazing.
The effort this guy has to put in to get these shots is just amazing and dedication. Much respect man I love the videos!
Thanks Tyler! Glad you enjoyed this one man
This! So much respect for the talent
The video i've been waiting for 🥰
Glad you're here watching!
You should have a second channel.
The quality of this video is beyond any words. I have genuinely never watched a video of such quality and breathtaking shots of nature. Man you are a true artist. I hope you are proud of yourself. Cheers!!
One word ... Inspiration..
2nd sentence... crisp and heavenly shots, vloging on another Level ...
Glad to see you back out in the wilderness. Really admire your mental headspace to keep going. Happy Christmas Drew
Thanks Simon. Feels great to be back out creating. Have a good Holiday man!
This channel has the most breathtaking shots and is superior to any other overland channel. Hats off drew
The video work and scenery, starting at 21 minutes, are next level.
Hey Drew...you may have had some very precious possessions taken from you and an interruption to your travels but the most important thing that wasn't taken is your talent and heart for producing beautiful images. This latest video is testimony to your undoubted skills for conveying scenes we could only imagine but which you bring into our living rooms and make us feel were there...keep at it!
My dad and I watched this on our big screen, epic as usual and I couldn’t wait for this upload. Always a cinematic masterpiece. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I am so glad you are back on your feet. I’m happy you are still getting sponsors, you deserve everything you are getting!! Keep up the incredible work!
Thank you! Love to hear you guys are watching it on the big screen! Hope you had a great Christmas, thanks for the continued support!
Your videos are something else, the edit, his pacing, the composition of the shots that u take to tell the story, the fact that you put your camera(s) and drone in so many places to take the right shots and angles for your story is absolutely stunning and shows how much effort and creativity goes into creating a video like this, this is truly incredible content, there are a lot o amazing travel videos and channels that go into this style, but this one is my favorite in terms of cinematics and edit, composition, congrats, incredible work.
Thanks Alex! Really can't tell you how much I appreciate hearing that. Thanks for the continued support!
I watched this video with my two boys, 9 & 7 and they like it so much, they made me like the video and subscribe. Keep up the great work.
I randomly bumped into this channel by chance about 3 weeks ago after watching a Kara and Nate video, I have not stopped watching. The quality of your videos is on point 👌.
Drew, I’m sorry to hear about your break in, I can’t imagine how you feel. Just know that your work is so appreciated and it’s so good to see you back online sharing these amazing scenes and your life. Thank you for this, Merry Christmas!
Thanks Jc! Really appreciate the kind words and support. Hope you had good holiday!
THE SCENERY IN THIS VIDEO IS JUST BREATHTAKING!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS AMAZING SNOWY PARADISE!! ❤️
Anyone who has ever made even a small video knows how much time and effort it takes to make one like this. Good background music and sound effects, beautiful scenery, thank you for making a beautiful video. 👍
This is a top ten all time youtube videos, the camera work, the editing, the content. Amazing, my second time watching it too.
Seeing the waterfalls brings tears to my eyes, God did some amazing work with his hands, I pray I can see something like this in person one day, what a beautiful adventure, thank you for sharing✨
Amen imagine how beautiful heaven will be🙌🏾
@@Joseph__777 I do! Amen :)
@@Joseph__777 Heaven is a shithole. Been there, do not recommend.
Knowing how beautiful this Earth is makes me so excited for heaven. Stay strong in the faith and I'll see you in heaven my brother/sister in Christ 🙏
Once more, bravo! Your stories have such depth, the way the visuals feel effortless and carry us through the scenery, almost allowing us to smell the pines, feel the heat of fire, the warmth of coffee. Keep on going dude, your work is a sight for sore eyes 🤙🏼
I'm 8minutes in and already... my mind is blown. I've said 'wow' more times than I can count. I used to do solo videos a few years ago and appreciate just how much time and effort it takes to do so such shots. But not only set them up, but get shots that give the 'wows'. 10/10. Amazing.
Drew, your videos are the apex of adventure and overlanding content back here at our home (me and my wife). You are a very talented professional, we are very sorry to hear about your stolen items, but also very happy to know that you're back, and better than ever.
As most of the things, what doesn't kill you, only make you stronger (and wiser).
Thanks for sharing your routine and experiences, be sure that you have big fans here in Brazil.
I just wanted to say I’m so sorry to hear about all your stuff getting stolen it is wrong in so many ways but you’re looking on the bright side you’re healthy you’re smiling and you’re still doing what you love hopefully they will catch the people that did that to you and you will get your memories back much love
The shots you get are incredible. Such amazing videos. Can’t wait for each one.
Saw your work in 4K... it's just so sweet👍 Keep it going ✌
I just discovered you pls dont stop filming I am loving your videos. They're now my stress reliever and it fels like i am traveling as well. God bless you!
As always Drew, Bravo. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of gear and belongings. Will never understand why some chose to make life harder for other. Your perseverance and attitude is amazing. And you are back at it, helping the rest of us to enjoy this planet, vicariously through you. May 2022 bring you more safe travels, and success. Happy New Year!
glad you’re back Drew. Sorry for what happened to you. I’m a collector of beautiful moments. Thanks for making that collection grow with your astonishing videos. All the best for 2022. Keep up the good work. Kind regards from the Netherlands.
This my first video I found from you and they’re very high quality! My jaw dropped after you told us bout your jeep got broken in. Happened for a reason I suppose and will lead to something more creative for content. Supporting you man 🙏🏼
I will be here for Yokote Kamakura Festival 2023! Back again after 2020, WHOA SO MUCH SNOW THIS IS AWESOME!@!@!@@
QUALITY! The wait was worth it. As others have said sorry to hear of the break in. I enjoy your videos more than any on RUclips. Your ability to capture the beauty and the amount of work you put into these videos is simply amazing. Thanks for sharing and letting us go with you on these epic journeys. Keep up the great work.
Speechless. Absolutely beautiful. After your post from the car break in, all I could think was “ I hope this doesn’t stop him”. You have a gift and serious talent Drew. To see you’ve come back and persevere despite that heavy setback, you are more than on your way to a lifetime of success & happiness. You’re a self sufficient determined young dude & so many of us are so proud of you. I wish nothing but a year of prosperity, health and protection for you. All the best.
Love ve your comment.... Simply beautiful and simply said 🙏🍀🙏 🤗 bless you and your family.
@@indiarow30 thank you, and to you and your family as well!! 💜
Hey I just want to encourage you to move forward and don't let your loss stop you. Your work brought me joy 💕 and I want to see this land for myself because you showed me, so thank you! Keep going!
A Chef, Adventurer, & cinematographer! This is content!
Drew your adventures have inspired me to solo camp in my golden years! Thanks for telling these wilderness stories through the artistry of your lens. You bounced back determined to share! Bravo!
your content is terrific dude, wow
Well suprise to see you here
Whenever i'm cold living in my van i'm just going to watch your videos of you doing all these things without gloves on and it will give me strength.
Really appreciate the efforts put in to take footage from so many angle’s and tight spots
Note: This channel is more addictive for solo life💫
Glad you enjoy Sumanth!
@@drewsimms love from India ❤️
Drew finally getting the views and subscribers he deserves. Been here since 20k and have been amazed by his content. I don’t even do outdoors but this guy makes me want to. So mesmerizing. Thank you Drew!
I have been binge watching these wonderful Winter camping videos the past few months. Yours is one of most stunning with the scenery! Thanks for taking us along!
Appreciate you saying where you were...so many videos leave viewers wondering.
Wow, have we missed your videos Drew! It is a great Christmas gift to have you posting videos again. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Thanks David! Feels great to be back. Merry Christmas!
Drew....you are definitely an artist when it comes to filming and setting up shots. Your rig is an awesome setup...looks like you can sleep inside the Jeep as well as the rooftop tent. I currently have a no build setup in my Jeep trailhawk and its cozy while wintercamping here in Canada. My maiden name is Simms which is interesting as it isnt very common...British I think on my grandfathers side. Anyways...glad you are rebounding from your breakin...its not easy to bounce back...I know as its happened to me as well. Enjoy your holidays...again epic video...thanks for taking us along! 🌲🌲🌲
Another epic Drew Simms Video and all I can say is WOW. I mean shots like started at 21:59 that opens up to the grand beauty of the waterfall, the creativity, the mastery, the control, The Man Drew Simms. Well done sir !!
This is my favorite video I have ever seen, you are very talented my friend. The whole video is incredible and the footage and videography is the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life. Thank you for making this
Good to see you back and that you didn't let the break in stop you from doing you. Can't wait to see more of your adventures and keep up the amazing work.
Holy moly it's been long. Good to see you Drew. Merry Christmas to you And everyone reading this comment. 🙏❤️
Thanks for being here! Hope you have a great christmas!
Oh my goodness. This is breath taking. Thank you so much. 💓
This was the best thing happened today when the day was not going good but after watching this video I do not know but I really felt good, thanks for introducing to a new perspective of life.
Dude you work so hard on getting your shots! I appreciate the effort, Makes for beautiful videos! I'm sorry someone stole your gear. And its a reminder that we always need to have backups at home or at a family members place, somewhere where it'll be safe and you can update it every year or so. Love the content brother!
Thanks Elijah! Definitely unfortunate about the hard drives and was lucky I had my favorites backed up. The new back up set up is much more stable haha.
This is the second video I watch on your channel and I'm extremally shocked for the amount of work and effort you put to make these videos 😍😍 good luck and please keep up the great job 🥰
I appreciate the effort on some of these shots...gorgeous but definitely a lot of work and it doesn't go unnoticed!
The way he Overlanding alone and Filming The place is Another level 💥❤️
Those cinematic shots were out of this world. Thanks for letting us know how beautiful this world is. 👌👌
Damn, you nailed these intro scenes, love it!
Your editing and composition skills are stellar. And in my mind, ensuring you have dry wood to start with is the smart move. Subbed!
Drew…sorry to hear about your setback, keep the videos coming, a lot of us love them !
Jeff from Iowa
Intro is breathtaking. I find myself very peaceful and dreamy when I watch your videos. Beautiful! 😍😊thank you for sharing. Loving all the snow I've never been in or seen soo much of it!
Glad you enjoyed and love to hear that. Hopefully you can find some snow soon!
So glad to see you back at it! You're a huge inspiration Drew.
"Meet me half way ... got to give me credit for cutting half of my firewood" :). Thanks for your honesty.
Single handedly doing great photography, cooking, camping and cleaning up, all in such cold weather shows your patience and dedication. Keep up the good work and more power to you.
Your a/v are always very good and you go to great areas giving us all great adventures to enjoy. Thanks Drew.
Thanks for the support Ron!
Wow! You are very talented in more ways than 1, your videos help me soften anxieties and I cannot wait to face my fears and camp like you one day! Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos!
Best winter campfire trick I know is to lay a 2 foot piece of tinfoil on the snow and build your fire on top of that . The tinfoil will keep the evaporating snow from dousing the fire overtop. Portable fire pit works every time and will allow you to get the most heat out of your wood. I know this works because I only camp when it rains or snows. Just remember to take the tinfoil when you leave.
That sucks about your gear and hard drives. Glad you were able to bounce back, even if it took a little longer than you were hoping. This video is amazing my friend. Nice work. I'm trying to summon up the courage to try snow camping, and this was so breathtaking, so maybe I'll see you out there this winter!
Those shots are simply incredible... Keep on going with the amazing work!
Great video man. I’m sorry about your heat that was stolen. We can never be too careful. Thank you for being strong and continuing to vlog. I love watching your videos.
It was a small setback but feeling good and happy to be back! Thanks for the support!
I started watching this video and forgot where I was and what I was supposed to be doing. OMG! I was mesmerized. Loved it. I shared it with my boyfriend who loves snow and camping and he just called me to say WOW-WOW-WOW
Great job Drew!
I loved the lack of cheesy music and love your honesty. Also I was very impressed with your camping culinary skills. We’re like hooked on you now ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The framing of every shot is impeccable and perfect
Merry Christmas Drew, your videos are very inspiring, especially in this strange time. Thank you for being my eyes, and providing these beautiful and scenic images for me to think about when I close my eyes at night. I call this is my "virtual" getaway. Thank you, stay safe, safe warm, and happy new year!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the support Maxim!
The amount of time it takes, to get all those camera angles, is exquisite. It’s truly a talent you have. I just bought the same jeep and I love your setup. Safe travels
I'm amazed by the quality you had put into these videos. Its an amazing work. The shots and landscapes captured, just pleasant to watch.
I really like your jeep! This is my first video of yours I'm watching and while I'll never do something like this.. I can easily live vicariously through your videos and see it! Thank you!
So happy to see you back at it! Seriously, some of the most amazing footage I have ever seen. You inspire me to get out there and live adventurously!
Thanks Cameron! Love to hear that
I really love the visuals on your videos. Absolutely beautiful !!!!! Thanks for bringing this content to us who DON'T get to be there.
Far out, I just started watching you Drew and have loved every video you’ve delivered, to hear that some low life stole your stuff is heartbreaking. I wish you all the best!
Can’t get tired of watching your videos. It’s really amazing and I can even feel myself in there .
Drew, I love your content and you have inspired me to grab a camera and get outdoors myself! Thank you so much for everything you create. Hope to run into you on a trail someday!
Absolutely stunning.... I love the winter landscapes. 💜 I'm sorry to hear about your jeep getting broken into. Just found your channel and loving it so far.

Drew, your videos are the best! Love your photography...you are so talented! Glad you got settled and back on board after the break-in and theft. Damn, people just don't have a conscience...what goes round, comes round. Keep up the amazing work.
When I was driving in Lafayette, Indiana, I almost died under the sudden heavy snowstorm on an out-of-town road, but you're enjoying it in a more remote place.
it's so much fun, everyone goes out into nature to relax and what they drink, Coffee, the most famous exciting in the world.
you are not normal.
