To quote one of my favorite TV shows right now..."This is the Way"

Chris can do whatever he wants it’s his channel.

@@prepperboss yes he can and so does his patreons

I was thinking the exact same way.

@@dnscud1 😂🤣

Glad to hear it!

Being able to spend time with your dad is a good thing. Life Happens... My dad went from being very mobile to extremely immobile in less than a decade.

You have your work/career. And then you have familial Obligations. You have an obligation/love to take care of the parents who loved and raised you..

How do you do that? Have any links on how to diagnose with meter? I'm not to up on electrical....

@@JimmyDevere I don’t have a specific link, but there are tons of videos on KZfaq for diagnosing parasitic draw with a multi meter depending what type of meter you have.

Beautiful area!

It may be the batteries, Optima has declined in quality. I have been through two in one year as just a daily driver battery.

We did go last year when we were in the area. It was yummy 😋

They were right before this shot; just kept getting more bogged down. I unlocked them to see if it could help me get unstuck. Oh well!

I used the lockers initially, but once bogged down and sinking, I unlocked the axles to see if that could help crawl through the snow without digging/sinking any deeper.

More fool you when a heavy object smashes through your windscreen into your face!

@@grahameroberts8109 Synthetic winch rope doesen't stretch, it drops to the ground, not like steel cable & "snatchem" straps.

@@danmarklesr6260 It’s BEST PRACTICE mate so a habit forms should you or a helper happen to use a stretch line, on that one ‘she’ll be right’ moment.

@@grahameroberts8109 Thank you for your opinion. God Bless!

Yeah, i was wondering if his front locker was pooched.

There’s no set expiration on a Jeep engine. Mine was just at 200k miles and it was a timing issue. The guidance I got was that, at the 200k mark, an engine replacement would be a more cost effective repair than replacing the timing chain. Fixing the timing chain would have bought a little more time, replacing the engine black bought a LOT more time.

@@venture4wd thank you! You should come to WY sometime. There’s a group of us that go into the mountains as well as the badlands. We always have a great time

Thank you! Wyoming is lovely.

Hi there! It’s an iPad mini :).

Amazing*

I do have a hand saw given to me by a friend. Works great, simple, takes up minimal space. For as often as I’d actually use it (2-3x / year, maybe?), an entire chain saw that can handle jobs bigger than my hand saw can manage takes up a lot of space.

I’m not sure!

I had them locked initially, then unlocked once bogged down to see if that would help. It didn’t 😊

Yes, we domiciled in Texas for a bit. Shannon is from there.

I briefly sampled a few of your videos. I would say you are shaking/moving the camera too much for THIS type of content. I mean it well and as constructive comment. I have seen this happening with other KZfaqrs as well. Keep doing it trial and error and eventually things will work out. It probably takes time to perfect things around recording.✌

@@mrtopcat2 thank you, I will work on that this weekend and see if I can improve, much obliged for the feedback

@@carpathianoverland You are welcome. I used to be a professional photographer and I have never switched over to video, because I felt that it would overwhelm me. So believe me, I have much respect of people who are making video as I think making video looking good is really not that easy. It probably really takes time for everyone. I am not saying that all the channels that have lots of subscribers are doing good video, not at all. Still, in many instances I could see how KZfaqrs have been getting better over time. In your case, specifically I would recommend try to using the go-pro type super wide angle lens much less. Instead use a less wide angle and only if you are showing yourself. Then include more shots that are made with regular camera. Think through your shot prior and then pan the camera nicely, so it does not shake much. Honestly, when I decide to pick a new channel and I believe others may do this as well, I try to pick a channel that has good video. So in that sense it may be harder to stand out for ANY new KZfaqr, because in the old days, there was far less KZfaqrs, who just had to do something and then later improve their skills. Now it seems starting out, standing out is much harder, because there is already so much content and you need to “start out on the right foot” in order to get noticed. So like said before. I think if you do it long enough and figure out the little details, your channel will eventually take off. Best wishes!

Candidly I didn’t pay attention to my subscriber count for the first few years. Sorry I can’t be of more help. BEST of luck to you!

Not unless there’s no other choice.

That was google earth

You’re not COMPLETELY wrong 🤣😂

Yes

it's a synthetic line, if it breaks it'll drop without sending anything flying. I've synthetic at least 6 lines break and not one snapped back like a steel line would, the hook just dropped to the ground
