V14E4: Foothills of the Three Sisters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- In this episode, adventure is afoot in Deschutes National Forest. At basecamp, outside of Bend, Oregon, after a restless night in the Winnebago Revel, I install new batteries in the old Jeep. With Orangie's electrical woes sorted, I take to the mountains and explore the old growth forests in the foothills of the Three Sisters. Freezing temperatures and snow make for a wintry October adventure.

Your camera work is simply amazing! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Chris's weekly mantra - "I have pizza on my mind....."
🤣 right?
What I like about you Chris is that you don’t have much as far as overlanding gear, I mean that stove you have is like 5 years or older. Compared to the typical overlander who tries to get all the lights and gear out there, yours is simple and doable. Thank you
Nicely said.
If that stove could talk...Lol!!
He's traveling in a MERCEDES for crying outloud!!
A shame some are subbing out, so the the format has changed, nothing stays the same for ever. Now we have two cool vehicles, the amazing JK and the 4 wheel drive Winnebago. I’m amazed at where that orange Jeep has taken us all this past 4 years! Thank you Jeep for building the Rubicon and Ursa Minor for a wonderful integrated design. I’ve only got as far has the Colman stove, but my hopes are high on getting the rest. Until then, I look forward to my weekly fix with venture4wd.
Well said.
Is his sub count dropping? That’s crazy, of all the over landing channels Chris’ is the best. We need to get him over 100k subs, then I think he’d take off from there.
I agree
The only problem with Bend, OR (aside from cost of living) is that it is getting loved to death in the summer. Finding a parking place at trailheads and especially campgrounds is a real challenge. However, it is still a terrific place to live and play
Great video Chris!!!! Can't wait till next week. Be safe my friend!!!
Wonderful photography...another area for us to hit someday. Thanks for sharing it.
This episode re-reminded me about reliance on heaters and other items of "comfort technology" that we come to rely on especially for winter camping. So easy to thin your gear to fit the comfort range provided by your vehicle...it's all great...until something fails or breaks. Nothing worse than a cold night in a light bag with a failed heater thinking about the nice puffy down sleeping bag you left at home!
Wow that was a great episode Chris. We really needed the peace of your trips, thanks mate:)
When you put new batteries in clean the post even when they look clean the dull look is actually the reason for batteries to go bad before their time.
Should of gave a shoutout to Casey coyote works he has some really cool spots around there an is a awesome guy ,,,, as always be safe 👍👍👍👍
Another great video! Really enjoy following your adventures. Three more years until retirement, hope to catch you on the road one day. Thanks for your inspiration.
Nice video Chris, I’m glad you found the yellow tops just in time. The same auto parts place bailed me out with an alternator and belt and let me do the repair in there parking lot.
My wife and I will be out in Oregon in June. Can’t wait to see more of what you find there. God bless.
Such beautiful country. Wonderful content as always. Thank you Chris!
Glad to see that you’re back in the Pacific North West I hope you have a wonderful time up here visiting us. Enjoyed your video thank you😎👍
A great way to spend a Saturday evening, you, me out in nature. Only thing missing is a drink and a camp 🔥. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob thanks Chris.
After dealing with hurricane Ida here in south Louisiana, it’s nice to have my weekends off again (electric utility worker) and watching your videos while sipping a hot cup of coffee. It was a blistery 52° down here this morning.😂 I always enjoy your videos and the time and effort you put forth in sharing them. Safe travels.
Yay 🤗 good old Oreilly to the rescue! I work for Oreilly here in Texas! 😁 I like your video’s and your content you put out! Thank you for bringing me along for the ride! Can’t wait to see your next video this is Big Boy Frank from Texas Peace out ✌️ and safe travels!
Pizza and a Thrift Store “great combination”
Central Oregon is just spectacular. I guess large burn areas are going to be a feature of the western states from now on, with fire season getting longer and hotter each year. October is a great time to be exploring, with abundant solitude. These videos are works of art (and I enjoy the omission of music) - Thanks.
Great way to start a Sunday morning.Thank you for sharing your adventures!
何時も、楽しいです。
Three sisters, three slices. I see what you did there.
Three slices!!! Wowza
I love watching your channel Chris! Especially when the season change! It lets me know cooler air is coming my way to Alabama! Enjoyed as always!
love that shot at 9:25.
Green, even in the late fall, beautiful
Itd be cool to see you meet up with softroadingthewest. He lives in OR I believe and should know the area pretty good!
Haha, finally! 😄 300 comments about Coyote Works and Primal Outdoors. 😭 And Chris has actually appeared on my channel. Of course I was babbling like a silly fanboy, but still. 😄
@@softroadingthewest aw man! Seems I missed that one. 😔
@@Jtwizzle No worries! It was within my very recent Expo vlog, which understandably not everyone would want to watch. I generally skip most people's Expo videos myself, heh. But I actually ran into Chris at a coffeeshop in Flagstaff before Expo. I won't put a link here since RUclips may treat it as spam, but it's about 5 videos back on my channel. :-)
@@softroadingthewest Thanks man!
Look up Casey with Coyote Works and Jason with Primal Outdoors. I believe both live somewhat near by. Awesome episode. Safe travels
Btw..you saw that truck go by and thought..."WAIT WAS THAT MAV?!" LOL
Your rimrock critter was probably the “famous” Central Oregon pack rat, Chris. I lived in that area for years and they are a real pest. Can cause serious damage to engine wiring as well as anything else they can chew up. Wise to move as they are relentless!
The local Toyota dealer told me that spraying your front tires/wheel wells with Pinesol is a really good deterrent to rodents getting into your engine compartment and interior. They normally will get up on top of the front tires to gain entry...A decent spray every couple of months.
If you are still in the area, go back to the same pizza place in Sisters and order their Garlic Knots. They are deliciousness
Drake park! I grew up in Central Oregon. I miss it but, glad I moved though. Bend Truck toys is always a good place to go if your Jeep needs love next time you're there.
Love adventuring the deschutes national forest, Bend has the best Boneyard IPA my favorite
Hello ! Nice to see you again on a new adventure !
Baby Big Foot Chris!
Great video as always! Perfect way to start the sunday morning. Greetings from the Netherlands :)
Welcome to Bend! I would have been so psyched to see Orangey around town.
Coyote Works and Primal Outdoors 4X4 channels are in the Bend, OR. area. Good video. 👍🏻😎
Looked like a great week, thanks for sharing!
OMG...a $200+ Patagonia jacket...how nice. LOL
Very pleasant travelogue this week Chris.
Beautiful scenery.
We do not overland but enjoy watching your experiences
You might be better off having the heater set to run at higher elevations, where it's colder and where you need it more often.
I think the diesel version runs better in higher elevations.
@@marcelloorsini337 that may be but as he does not have a diesel engine, moot point. He had mentioned (I think) that they can adjust the heater to not cause carbon at higher elevations, but it then would not run well at lower elevations.
@@stevebailey7633 6 in one, half dozen the other🤷🏻♂️
Hearty +1 for camping around Sisters, I spent last weekend out there, a little to the north of the area you were in.
Best life of a webasto is to run it at max temp for 5 a 10 min before shutting down than the chamber is clear ,same for the diesels webasto as petrol ,in this way no prob .
Grt mechanic from Belgium
The Bend/Sisters area of Oregon is excellent in the fall.
Great video as always.
So beautiful out there! Keep on truckin 😃
Another wonderful episode, sir. Oregon does indeed have varied physical geography and environments. Looking forward to next week's episode already and, again, thank God you are out of AZ and CO. Travel safe, sir.
Thanks Chris. Great episode. Stay safe.
Welcome back to Oregon!
Really liked the video, have friends in Eugene and took a trip to Sisters which is a great little town with a great little whiskey shop too. Have lots of fun exploring!
There are a couple of youtubers in Oregon that I watch primal outdoors & Coyote works they love to explore and do the same kind of things you do. They are always in the back country you should get with them and explore oregon....
Yes I definitely love your simplicity and your videos . Always waiting for them every week. Yeap I couldn't wait to see where you were at 4am. Darn
you were in my tromping grounds there. I camp quite a bit up there in the winter just for the reason you said. No one else much goes up there :) I like camping on whycus creek there but would like to find more out of the way places. Where you were up high I need to explore more.
You need the red arc BCD’s 1225 battery charger it will assist your alternator in charging the batteries plus your solar panel plugs into it so it manages your battery charging with both solar and the redarc BCDC. I have this system on my Jeep and it’s worked perfectly but before that I had plenty of problems with my batteries because the stand alone alternator will not sufficiently charge 2 of these agm batteries by itself something genisis doesn’t tell you.
That tree at 21:11 is crazy!
Great video really enjoyed it
I love when you film in Oregon
I explored it for the first time earlier this year because of your vids & I can’t wait to go back
I may spend my Christmas there
Can you adjust the fuel ratio to burn better at higher elevations? It seems silly that you can't use it where it is needed.
Take a trip down to Derrick cave
Those AGM batteries you have to periodically maintenance charge them. Your alternator is not going to be able to charge them appropriately which causes them to die early.
Dude odyssey batts are the way to go!
Great video thank you!
Looking like y'all are gonna have to head south soon.
Nice Chris!! My cousin just moved to Bend from MD. She always vacationed there and loved the cooler temps and high desert dryness. Thanks for the scenic tour and sharing the outdoors w us! Hi to Shannon. 🥾🥾💕🥾🥾
Beautiful scenes ! I’m especially drawn to Ponderosa’s myself. And those snowy peaks ! Wow ! ✌️🍁
Welcome to Bend!
A lot of modern automotive wiring has eco friendly insulation now that is soy based and rodents really like that! Peppermint oil, a few drops in a spray bottle and then spritz everything you can get at keeps them at bay. Second tip, a clean engine and engine bay allows your engine to run cooler, always a good thing. Use your air to blow everything you can then just hose everything down with tire foam. Probably take you a couple or three applications.
Chris !! Your in Bend !! Would love to meet up and show you some awesome spots if your still around
Wild to think I couldn't use the gas heater even at home. 5000 feet feels awfully low
Chris, your in Railfan Dan's territory.
Should try to hook up with him and get some aerial shots for his drone.
Wow. Hey se to be starting on Sunday night and ending earliest on Thursday evening and a lot on Friday. Now lucky to get Monday thru Wednesday. To each there own. No more “ experiences”. Im out
Chris when you were in Bend I hoped you looked up Casey with “Coyote Works”. He is another RUclipsr and lives in Bend.
You should go to the High Desert Museum in Bend and the Lava Lands.
Outstanding as always! Nobody makes a decent heater that works about 5,000 ft?
For heat,try an electric blanket
Some nice spots there around Bend. I saw hemlock several times in your shots. Did a backpack trip to the Middle Sister. Beautiful up there!
Awesome.
Great content
Magnific!
Fika Sisters Coffee in Sisters if you are still in the area. Your work seems to get increasingly beautiful. I’m adjusting to the new Chris. Glad you have found balance and still get your pizza. :)
Those images!! 15:35, 17:56..The Three Sisters look astounding! Question: how do you mitigate trash smell in the wild? Thanks for sharing!
Always connect the battery ground last. Positive first Negative last. Why? Negative should not cause sparks.
Casey from coyote works lives in that area, maybe you guys could meet up? Also a big Jeep fan (his Rubicon) caught fire in the desert and burned totally to the ground.....☹️
My parents fled los angeles 7 years ago and now there 800K sisters ranch is worth 2.5 mil. that's growth
I hope they didn't bring their LA values with them.
Californians ruined Oregon 50 years ago. I will always loathe californicators for what they have done to my home state
Californians are slowly taking over a lotta places. Watch out
I bought an optima yellow top batt and it cost me almost 300.00 and have had nothing but problems with it. I even returned it and got a second new one and still constantly goes dead for no reason.
Yeah they’re totally overrated in my opinion.
I’ve had more than a few of the different colour optima batteries over the years and was never very impressed with any of them.
Pretty sure I passed you guys just outside of Hobbs NM headed east on the 15th.
Well, a two or three day work week is pretty good if you can swing it … I think we can safely say the old Venture4wd content is gone … now it is rush to gather content between base camp … I guess if I was Chris I would probably be doing the same thing but sure miss the old adventures … All good, just have to quit expecting adventure …
Like.... ALWAYS a like.
Could have been a pine martin? They're in the area and way cooler than rats
Welcome to Oregon. There are no Puma or rats or possum. Probably a raccoon or skunk more than likely.
Chris got to use his Wabasco heater - yay !! Any chance they’ve improved their product for higher elevations ? ( or maybe we have no buisness being that far up in snowy weather ?)
I have heard leaving your hood open while sleeping will prevent critters for going into the engine bay and nibbling on wires. May be myth, not sure
Must have been an ROUS! How far away from the fire swamp were you?
I'll take the densely forested over the high desert any day of the week. Of course I'm from the east so...
Chris where is your next move? I like in Washington… be cool to meet up!
Live!
Beautiful cinematography as always, Chris. Are you shooting an HDR profile now? The dynamic range really pops on my big TV.
Ok I got my answer on the Webasto gas heater (-;
