You are out there for all of us. Continue waking up each morning focusing on why you want this for yourself and others. You are a powerful influence to the Thousands of us following your expedition. You are never far from freinds.

Your cure if you will.....go to a big city and drive around for a week in traffic and see a lot of people going to work looking miserable. That should do it.....peace✌️

I stumbled across your videos today and I love them. While you were giving your Jeep an unconventional bath in Quebec I was finishing up a solo camping trip a short distance south east of Pembroke. I spend three weeks every fall at the same camp site in the middle of 100,000 acre section of crown land near the village of Griffith, Ontario. I make daily excursions to familiar favorite spots as well as to find new ones. I too use a Jeep, a Grand Cherokee. I have a sponge mattress in the back for sleeping and hang a tarp at my campsite that provides shelter from the rain so I can sit by the fire at night and listen to the wolves howl. It is so nice to know that there are others who can find joy in solitude. It is even nicer that you don't feel the need to start every fire with a ferro rod while wrapped in a primitive wool poncho that you made yourself self cinched around the waste with a hand woven rope. If you're back this way again next fall I think I would enjoy chatting with you around the fire for a few hours. Having said this it could only be for a few hours. After that you have to move along. After all it's not solitude if you have to share it with someone. I found a great line from a Nash Buckingham book more years ago then I care to admit. " Solitude is sweet but grant me still in my retreat a friend whom I may whisper solitude is sweet".

Weekly booster has arrived! We await its generous posting on all fridays. 👍🏻🚩 Seen the video for a bit. In response to your from the outside advice - if week 3 you still experiencing the exhaustion, you could surely consider the 2 options - 1. The winter is arriving quickly and you could plan to enjoy what you have for a bit and then, bring yourself home to rest without the pressure of carrying on. 2. If the exhaustion is uncomfortable, surely would be a good idea to go home and rest for a bit. A break is a part of the expedition Chris. We, your followers, would want the best for you first. Much as we would love to carry on the viewing from the comfort of our homes 🤭. This is one of the best content. Become a part of our lives. Lastly - do pls take that call after the hair cut and the trim/shave 🙂 Perspectives change with freshness. Going back to the video now. Have a good night.

I love the way you go out and explore - you take the time to sit down and reflect on the place around you and your jeep is your trusty companion to get you out there. Sometimes I watch folks and they are so concerned with the immediate trail around them that they don't take a moment to appreciate the small stuff. I hope to one day do a trip like yours!

THANKYOU!!! I ABSOLUTLY LUV YOUR CHANNEL THANKU FOR THE BEAUTY IN NATURE YOU SHARE!! I LUV YOUR EYE WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT CATCHES MY EYE ALSO!!! CANT THANKU ENOUGH!! I CAN TRAVEL IN PLACES I LIKE TO GOBUT AM UNABLE☺☺☺☺

Everything in that environment is working toward hibernation, your feeling that primal need as well. Feeling it some myself. My wife and I now consider you our Disney Sunday Movie. Thanks for the escape from the 9-5 we live.

I love this silent and lake and water drops... fantastic!

We love your show Chris! It puts us in a ‘wanderlust’ mood when we can’t get out of our busy lives to do what you do. We’re discovering places we’ll never actually get to because of you! If you’re a little down these past few weeks, it’s understandable. Eventually getting home with friends and family will do you good (and get you back into that adventurous mode!). Take good care! Andrea and David

Thank you so very much for the video Chris 😎👍

Chris, what I use to start my fires is to put some charcoal in the bottom first. Don’t get the Match Light kind that is soaked in lighter fluid. It will smell that way until it is gone, plus if you roast a hot dog over the fire, it tends to taste like the lighter fluid. I use Royal Oak brand and then spray some lighter fluid on the top of it and let it soak for just a minute before lighting. Put your wood on it after the coals start turning a little white. You could also soak the wood with a little fluid for a minute. If the wood you are using is cured properly, you will never have any trouble starting a good fire. Hope that helps! Great video! Always enjoy each one!

Great video! There are a lot of people doing what you do. You are definitely the most enjoyable to watch. You are genuine and honest. Thanks for sharing the adventure.

Chris ... excellent videography and photos! Been to Mew Lake many times over the years. It's a good campground for trying winter camping too. Cheers, Steve

Chris, I wonder if you know just how much you inspire us? There is nothing on TV or KZfaq I enjoy as much as the 30 minutes on Saturday morning when I get to see where you've been and what you've discovered.

You picked a good time to go to Algonquin as the weekend before is Canadian thanksgiving and is extremely busy with the leaf tours. We have been in line at the gate for a hour due to traffic.

I think you probably deserve a week of slightly less adventure! We all need to recharge. That lakeside camp was amazing. Love your adventures Chris! Keep ‘em coming! ❤️❤️❤️

Your right, stressful situations will take their toll and after your accident very understandable there no denying it can be difficult to get motivated at times just rest up relax and shower everyone feels better after that appreciate your superb surrounding and you will be back to top form in no time ATB

Man, thoroughly enjoying Canada. Scenery is BEA..utiful Ohhh Canada. I always check the depth of large mud holes also before committing. I've been caught up in some seemingly small unpretentious mud holes using the go pedal to get out. Good stuff Chris, Safe travels. Perry

Love your vids man. Still planning to do my own trip to Canada, maybe even Alaska. Got a new JL. Traded in my old JK that I used to go to Moab in. In my 70’s, but you inspire me to do it. Thanks for all your hard work.

And I was just about to turn in for the night. Gotta watch this weeks episode first!

I've been binge watching your videos. So very sorry about your accident. Im glad your ok. Hang in there you'll get your mojo back.

We all hit "bumps in the road" in life. What separates strong people from others is how we deal with it. You are making headway that much is obvious. You will learn from the experience of dropping the jeep on its side and be a better person as a result. It just takes time. You need to know that there are lots of folks all around the country if not the world who follow you every week. We all hope the best for you and support you in one way or another. Knowing that should (and I think will) give you the support you need to keep going. I certainly hope so. Hang in there, you have more pure guts than most of us to travel alone into places where you are beyond easy assistance should something happen. Most of us would never try doing what you do. I think the had of fate is on your shoulder and better times are ahead.

As always Chris. Fantastic video!

Another great video 👍👍

Hey brother, u have the best adventure 4wd show ever. I watch Ronny Dahl in oz & he has a great show but his show aint solo. You are the champion! Sound & photography are 2nd to none. I i've u to travel with me in Australia, Jeep style✔

Saturday morning, 5:45, waiting for my friend to pick me up for our annual fall Algonquin canoe trip, and happened on KZfaq to see this video just uploaded. Hoping to see your orange Jeep after we arrived, but no such luck. The weather was just as you said. Saturday was fine on the paddle out, but got into some heavy snow squalls throughout the evening. Sunday morning, bright and sunny, but snow squalls came through again around noon on the paddle back. Your Jeep looks much more comfortable to tackle Algonquin this time of year.

Good stuff... Chris you touched on a life point there... when things happen out of the norm and throw stress into our lives, we actually become fatigued and our health suffers as a result. A few days of cool places and stress-free adventure will put you right back in the groove.

Another great episode! You have become a part of our family every Saturday morning and we wish you the best on your journey. Keep exploring the beauty that God has created and keep real and true to yourself. God Bless.

Sweet! Great way to cap my night...Thanks!

Canada has some wonderful fruits and vegetables, try diversifying your diet to include these that will help the slump! Love watching your touring adventures!

Thanks Chris good stuff. Quite the adventure.

Don't stop bringing your heart to whatever it is you do it will never let you down you got this🏃🏃🏃🏃

We love you and your videos Chris but if you need to take a break then by all means take a break. We will always be here for you.

Chris thanks again for taking us along. Always look forward to your weekly videos. Stay safe buddy.

By the way, I live in Atlanta..the trip I want may be 8000 miles, so I’m really enjoying every episode. Going back roads and sleeping in my jeep so good I think.

Some of the best content on youtube!

Make sure you visit the Superior Lake region : this is the most beautiful Lake ever. Superior Lake National park needs to be one of your stop. Bon voyage !

Your videos are always fascinating, entertaining & motivating. Keep it up!! Enjoy following your adventures.

Thanks Chris, for posting these videos. Some beautiful lake panoramas in the footage - very serene. I appreciate the way you edit the videos to include driving scenes - especially through rough terrain and big puddles.

Welcome to Ontario.... keep living my dream....

“That’s good content!” Damn right it is. Best story being told.

Hang in there Chris!!

Thank you Chris, have a great week!

Was going to save this for my Saturday morning coffee, but I couldn't resist. Another great video Chris, keep trekking! Cheers! Need to send you a pocket bellows, would have helped out with your campfire, let me know if you have a pick up address or an address in the states, I'll send you one buddy.

Im stuck in that bent fender guess a reminder of anytime can go in the ditch ... glad ya okay and keep going

Campfire was lame because the Ontario Parks wood is horrible, no matter what time of year!! lol. Glad you got to see Algonquin Park, its better when you can canoe the lakes but car camping will do!

Your wreck was a traumatic experience and I don't think that you really took the time to recover. You look just drained. That being said, you inspire me to just get out and away from the grind. After this video and from watching many of the previous videos, I decided to purchase a GoFast Camper today. Leed time is almost a year but I will take this time to plan the rest of my build. Thanks for all your hard work, you are an insperation and please take time to recharge.

Keep on truckin! Loving every minute of your story. Keep up the good work and thanks again for keeping us entertained ans inspired👌

AWESOME JOURNEY AS ALWAYS ! BEAUTIFUL COLORS SCENERY & VIDEO ! I'M GLAD YOU ARE GETTING BACK TO THE NORM ! THANK YOU ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !

Absolutely love your videos the scenery the explorations I research some of the towns get some extra history on them good stuff as always be safe stay humble 👍👍

Chris, thank you for sharing your adventures and your emotions. You have inspired me to buy a new truck and go explore. I have a adventure motorcycle but a truck gives me more room and comfort. Stay safe and thanks for keeping it real and next time your in Oregon I would love to meet you and camp together. Cheers Jeff

I like the vault boy bobble head! I have a shelf full of them

Awesome and inspiring, I admire your tenacity for sticking with it,, but hope you enjoy the rest in December around family, hope the jeep is all good as well!!

Another good adventure. If you ever find yourself in Niagara Falls and area don't hesitate to say Hi! It'd be nice to meet you as I've been following your ventures online and have been living my adventures outdoors through you. Frank

Legendary place. Hope to get there. You've got me thinking 2 door Rubicon to get more places. I'm driving Colorado ZR2 which is good. Rubicon better with shorter wheel base and clearance. You've got a nice setup

Always a pleasure, thanks Chris!

Glad ur getting better, love ur videos, Groovy lol

Ha! I’m laughing because the firewood at all Ontario provincial parks is wet and not dried at all. We have to chop it down into 1/8ths in order to burn it. On behalf of Ontario, sorry you couldn’t have a fire. Stay strong brother. I NEED you to keep travelling and making such great videos. Love your content.

Provincial Parks firewood is always wet!

Great video thank you! Merrel boots are great!

Another home run, Chris. Look forward to this each week. Your boots are LL Bean?? Call them, and have them mail you replacements to a post office you'll be arriving to soon. They are usually so good with warranty.guarantee - I doubt you'd have any issues. Worth a try for the cost of one toll free call.....

An Italian would call that pizza rage inducing.

Love your “inverted” technique to roll your awning back up 😄👍

Hi Chris, your videos are always so peaceful. I usually start my Saturday mornings with them. Whatever you seem to do, there’s a great air of serenity to it. I enjoy your content whatever you’re doing. Hope you feel more like your normal self soon, just for you though. All the best from the UK.

So excited to watch when i get home!!

Wonder were Chris will pop up next in Ontario. Love your videos. In the summer I take campers to remote areas of Ontario. I am 75 but feel like a kid again watching campers set out on their adventures.

Chris, another GREAT video! If those LL Bean shoes lasted for ~10 years, I would look into another pair of those if restitching yours is out of the question. You are not alone out there. Us thousands of followers are with you. I so much wish I could afford to support you. Hopefully able to start after next April 15. I very much admire and envy your lifestyle. I know you may feel pressured to keep up with the content, but don't let that perceived pressure prevent you from taking a break for your well-being. I would hope all of us would understand, even if we miss your videos while you r&r.

I have the exact same Merrell boots but in a different color. They are awesome!

Hi Chris , from Denmark .. I have being following vlogs for a long time - and seeing your accident its only natural that you will reps to that mentally - besides I think traveling that much must from time to time be very stressfull, so if you feel "down" , see it only as a natural response - Stay Safe

I see you drinking kombucha during your stay. Funny story. Other day I detailed my Jeep (needed it bad) and was on a good motivational kick. Figure instead of picking up a monster at the gas station I’d do something healthy. I saw the kombucha and thought I’d give it a try. I love tea so why not. Jumped in the Jeep and as I sat in the parking lot fig before I drove off I’d give it a try. It’s tea so I figure it needed a good shake. It did not. It exploded all over my Jeep! Was very tasty though!

Love your vids. Only trying to help here, your fires... I don't see the fires you make have a progression of tinder. You have good starter, small stuff and then you jump straight to a log. You're missing sticks and small branches broken up, stuff that won't burn up so fast. My family would always go see my Dad's brother/Uncle a couple times a year all while I was growing up. He had 3 acres and a snowmobile, a dirt bike and later a quad and a nice pellet gun. I put a shot w the pellet gun through the back of the paper box one day. My uncle gave me a look that night at dinner that was worse than any spanking. Couple years later, when I was big enough to drive the snowmobile I crashed it and laid it on its side. I was freaked out and scared about my uncle's reaction. Dinner comes, he finds out. Ah sh!t here we go. I look up at him and he gets a big grin and busts out in a short laugh, 'I did that last week down by the neighbors house. It's all in how you look at it. Perspective Chris. You were hot dogging it and it bit you. Lesson learned. My oldest brother who always held himself in high regard, #cocky, would always push things just past the limit. When my uncle got that quad, my brother drove it long enough to do just that and the thing threw him 20ft. My soul is no older, just wiser.

LL Bean has an awesome warranty, they may cover that since it looks like a defect.

Hi Chris... LL Bean has a Great Reputation for a famous reason. Let them demonstrate it for you.

Beautiful video! I always keep "Shoe Goop" on hand for repairs like that, not to mention fixing tents and other uses. It holds very well.

Ahh, it's real cool to see some quality KZfaq content from some of my favourite places in Ontario. I was at Mew Lake about a month after you filmed this. I always enjoy my trips to Algonquin.

Love your video .Your heading into deer hunting season for 2 weeks starting Nov 1 for 2 weeks your in wmu 41 . Be safe if you hiking buy yourself a cheap orange vest to wear.

Your boots look great and seem to have a lot of life left in them, just have them re-stitched.

Take your time Chris.. Do what you need to do for yourself. It's alot of work putting these videos together. We will be here... Great video. 👍🙏🇺🇸🏕

I stayed at Mew Lake two weeks ago. The overpriced firewood was soaking wet, so the only way to get it to burn was to split it into small pieces. The lake itself was beautiful, however despite staying in the loop expressly designated as “no radio or dogs”, the campsite next to me had two gentlemen who proceeded to get extremely high on weed and then sing along with old classics like New York New York by Frank Sinatra at the top of their lungs. Their singing left something to be desired. Definitely prefer more off the beaten path campsites. Re: the boots, use Shoe Goop!

Nice to see you up in my neck of the woods Chris! Algonquin park is where my wife and i go camping at least twice every summer! We live just near the Algonquin west entrance so you prob drove right past our house! I love your videos and we are contemplating trying the Overland experience soon, when we both retire next year! Thanks for the inspiration! Who knows, we may just cross paths!

Hey, only 4 hours south of us! Btw, my Merrill hikers are close to 10 years old. Getting pretty raggedy,but still going. And so comfy!

The wood they sell in Algonquin is often wet and difficult to make fires with, it the number one concern camper often have.

Nice video really enjoyed it

Aww hate when it ends...have to watch it again.

Excellent work! I've been following you since Nova Scotia! We live just over an hour south of Algonquin park. There is a lot of bear activity so be aware, spring and fall time they are more noticeable! If you kayaked canoe lake it joins tea lake and then smoke lake where you can paddle to a remote island and camp the night! Be safe!!

I love your posts. It encourages me.

Head for Grundy Lake!!!! You will thank me for all the Hiking Trails!!!

Another great video. As for the Merrell boots, don't buy them they are really comfortable but the quality isn't as good as they used to be, you would struggle to get much more put of them that 12 months.

One of your best videos. On the boot, LLBean might give you replacement boots. They are an awesome company. !0 years is a long time, but they like to see where their products have "failed". Nothing to lose.. If not a boot repair shop could fix the area easily. Just a thought.

LL Bean should warranty the boots

if you end up in thunder bay would be more then happy to show you the back country have a jeep as well do lots of wheeling and camping and we are also on 40 min from the Minnesota border

You should head south and go to Toronto, my hometown. Go up in the CN Tower. It's really cool. you can see for 90 miles in any direction. There are some Condos just west a couple of blocks with free on street parking. ( it's a local secret ).Then go to Niagara Falls and go into the States that way. You won't regret it. Take Care !

Happy Halloween my friend. Hope all is well. Be safe 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻

No wildlife in Algonquin? I went as kid many years ago and was lucky enough to see moose and beaver while kayaking, heard the wolves on a night tour (terrifying to an Aussie kid) saw a bear on the other side of lake and then heard bears come through the camp at night. As an Aussie, I love Ontario and that area as my mums family is around there. On a side note it’s natural to experience the ups and downs especially after the accident, but as you said, sharing and being honest with yourself about how it effects you is a good step to work through it.

My only wish was that there was more! Good job!

First thing I thought when I saw the title was “great band name!” 😜 Great episode, as always. Thank you.

Hot water shower face is the same around the world! Makes sense to be a little deflated after the roll, you did almost wreck your house. Keep on keeping on Chris!

My friend lives in that area and says it was a blizzard on Friday. Stay warm & safe!

I spent a couple of days in Algonquin the first week in October and the fall foliage was spectacular. Sorry you missed it. It was good seeing the park though and trails I did not hike.

A small air pump for an air mattress works will for fanning the flames 🔥. And it takes up Minimal space
