You Americans are so lucky. You have almost every type of weather, lots of national parks and forests, a good road system and best market availability and variety. Shame on those who don't enjoy it.

Great vids. In Texas, consider Padre Island National Seashore near Corpus Christi, Texas. There you will find lots of camping along 60 miles of unspoiled beaches on the Gulf of Mexico, accessible only by 4WD. Also consider Devils River State Natural Area near Del Rio and take a dip in the refreshing, crystal clear waters of the river. Finally, if you’re headed to Big Bend, consider a detour through Marfa and then down Pinto Canyon road (with a stop at Chinati Hot Springs), which will eventually take you to Presidio. Also consider camping in Big Bend Ranch State Park. It’s not nearly as crowded as BBNP, and there are lots of back roads leading to awesome campsites there. Enjoy your time in Texas.

Your work is awesome. Can’t get enough of the videos...so jealous...keep em comin!

I love the older videos of Venture4wd. I know it’s probably a lot of work, but the variety of content was great back then.

I dont understand why you dont have more subs. You're an alright dude, your work is excellent and the content is very interesting. You should easily be at 50k subs. Love the content man.

That school bus was soo cool! Reminds me of the movie Into The Wild.

Mud is life!! 🤣 my jeep feels neglected if she doesn't get a mud bath often enough!!

Enjoyed

What a great trip down memory lane. I was stationed at Holloman AFB in the early 1980's. The Space History Museum used to be the Space Hall of Fame. Cloudcroft looks like it hasn't changed a bit! The Caverns at Carlsbad are awesome! Hope you had a chance to enjoy it.

I just happened upon your videos on utube and couldnt stop watching one after the other.. having jeeped and four wheeled for most of my younger days it brought back many memories. I am now retired and reliving those days from my easy chair watching you..when you get coffee I get coffee and feel like I'm right there with you.....retired armchair jeeper ....thanks for the many great shows....wolfpk1

Thank you, Chris! Really beautiful Imagery in this episode! Big Love from Down Under.

As an Australian I always imagined that Texas would be a great space to explore as per the western states so will be interesting to see how you go. I was also quite impressed that you walked straight past the Cheez-Its

Chris you should get some mud flaps for the front fenders. I got a set, they are awesome. Keeps you doors clean.

Thank you Chris 😎👍

These videos are stunning, and I'm surprised your channel hasn't blown up yet. Can't wait to see you at 100k+ subs! :)

Hopefully you are stopping at Roswell for next week's episode. Would love to see that town/area! Watch out for the UFO's! lol

New Mexico is awesome. You could spend weeks there seeing new things every day. The green chile is a necessary ingredient to every New Mexican dish. Great food & culture. Has some downsides too, so be safe.

Next Friday cant come soon enough! I'm addicted to this.

Such diversity within the New Mexico landscape. We’d considered settling there, but instead chose Arizona. Wondering now if it was a missed opportunity.

Love your vids, Chris. I look 4wd to them every week ;)

YOur vids always make my weekend, thanks :)

Wait. Did he just pass a box of Cheez-Its?? And then reached for a bag of salad. 😱

I knew it was a matter of time before you went thru my state❤️❤️❤️. I hope you enjoyed New Mexico.

I stumbled onto your site and really enjoyed your videos. Being from West Texas, I have been to many of the places you visited in West Texas and New Mexico. The problem is that I grow to hate you more and more as I watch! About 2 decades ago my plans were to retire and get an RV of some type and travel the entire 49 states and Canada and live a month or two in each place. Well, I retired early and met a pretty woman in Thailand and am now married to her and live there. All of this happened before Facebook and You Tube and videos like yours! Watching what you are doing reminds me I would have been doing that if I had not left the US for my wife. I could do that here but she has motion sickness and cannot ride and does not want to camp out. So keep making these great videos and I will keep watching them and hating you more! lol

Watching this in late 2021 and I keep saying to myself, "why isn't anyone wearing masks" whenever he goes in to a public place. Really enjoying following along with you.

Well done maneuver at 14:45. That once got me out of a similarly sketchy situation while driving an Econoline E-150.

You go to some amazing places, thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for sharing. That was a cute little dog!!

Love Cloudcroft NM. Been a while since I've been there. White Sands and the Space Museum are a lot of fun. Your not far now from Carlsbad either. The Guadalupe Mountains NP is 5 hours from my home in Texas. I go to the Mountains at least once every year to backpack hike. Really enjoying your adventures. Lol, and you just mentioned Carlsbad in the video. Check out The Guadalupe's if you have the chance😀

I don't know anything about the cute dog you were playing with - but, sad but true: many people bring their unwanted pets to places like this and abandon them. I hope this was not the case. I got a rescue dog and he has really improved my life!

despite the trees looked like another great adventure, thank you for sharing

Another great adventure! Love your rig set up, too!

I´ve being following your trips for quite a while now - and always enjoyed your weekly vlogs - and looking forward to do so. Your vlogs gives me a lot of inspiration even though that in my country I do not have a lot of free ground to travel - keep posting - stay happy -- Best wishes 2 U from Denmark

Great job

I must have just missed you. Literally too the exact same trip and trail in to sitting bull falls about a day behind you

It was awesome to see this video of your adventures. I was born in Alamogordo back 64’.

Love your content Chris! Keep up the great work!

Looks like you need a good chain saw to cut thru the fallen trees . I've had to cut thru many. You always run into them. A chainsaw and a good axe for splitting makes wood gathering easy for camp fires.

I was glad to hear you mention the issue of BLM/public land vs private land. We're in OK and it's all pretty much private, except for a few spotted areas of Corp land. Your travels amaze me with the amount of dispersed camping you find. I feel like I need to take a course in GAIA and finding free camping. Thanks again for sharing!

Fantastic trip. thanks for sharing

Wow Chris! Since I met you in Prescott I am loving following your adventures. Feel like I'm right there with you.

New Mexico, what a place... you captured it well. The heat is coming.

“I’ve been digging a lot of holes lately” - hahahahaha.

Love the videos Chris. Keep them going! Wish I could do what your doing. Nothing better than exploring in a Jeep. Rock on man

Chris, been watching for a while and living vicariously through your awesome videos. You make it to the Portsmouth NH area, you got a free dinner and adult beverage on me!

great video. thx chris. you are awesome

I was watching this again and the right of way issue in most cases one cannot block a road with a sign or a locked gate the problem has come in the last 30-40 yrs when yuppies with money show up and think they can legally block an existing road those roads are there for access to other properties and emergency equipment

How much do you love those "off road" vehicles in Lost in Space? Those look pretty snazzy. Also, there's an off-road park in Marble Falls, TX just northwest of Austin. If you're going through that way and need a place to camp they might let you set up there for the night. Maybe you can even give an off-roading class to the weekend warriors who need to know how to 4x4!

Hola amigo GOD BLESS YOU EVERY WHERE...!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😇

Chris, you need to spend more time at the tomato bin. At least squeeze one, of course the filet minion section wouldn't be a bad hangout either. Hmmm... Tomatoes and beef, might make a good match.

I recommend Big Bend National Park, from there you can camp on the beach at Padre Island NP. But yeah not as much public land, you may be stealth camping in Wal marts or commercial camp grounds as you go east. Best forget Florida unless you get there after spring break and before school lets out. The Natchez's Trace Parkway and the Blue Ridge parkway are a beautiful way to transit that high developed area though. P.S. I like viva paper towels because they don't unravel in the back of the jeep.

I love the “ready meals” for boil bags when I camp!

Chris I know it doesn't help when you're traveling through, but a lot of private land owners post illegal private road signs to try and keep would be trespassers/road hunters from having close access to their lands. This is an area where I wish the forest service, states governments, and land management would certify public roads on gps maps. They could even enable the ability to cache illegal signs so they could be disposed of.

LOVE UR SHOW BROTHER - Thanks for inspiring me to get outdoors and out of the stupid concert jungles

Great vid!

Note: Green Chillies = Many holes. :)

We watch you every weekend now, even my young kids. we call you "The orange guy". Please can you eat some fruit. Cheers Nigel from New Zealand

Love your videos. I look forward to them all week. I thought you had found a copilot ( the dog). He liked you, hope he wasn't lost. I have been to The Space History Museum along time ago. Now I want to go again. I am jealous I wish I could do what you are doing. But, I would have a dog with me. Yes, I live in Texas in the winter and I do wish we had more BLM. Take care

Just another great one 👍🏻

I really enjoy your videos, I would like to add that I love kayaking, mainly on calmer rivers, but I don’t recommend going alone. I know you have one but you seldom get to use it, maybe you should store it to reduce the weight and wind drag on the Jeep instead of carrying it, thanks again for the weekly uploads.

LOVED the dog. 😂😂😂😂

1 How do you handle gas? when to turn back or head towards gas??? 2 Ever leave something you need behind by accident ( ex. i saw your e tool on the stump. Maybe its me and my OLDTIMERS haha Love your vids.

Great job Chris...

So funny with you and the dog!!! Lol

Chris you ought to check out some full width rock sliders, some solid ones that come out to the edge of the fender flares. might help keep the mud down.

A set of boatside rock sliders/steps may help keep some of the mud off the side of the jeep.

Chris do a campaign on Patreon and we’ll help you get your sway bar disconnect fixed.

Hope you'll check out Carlsbad Caverns while you're there. They are amazing.

I have been watching you for a while and it has turned out to be a video about what and when you eat. Love the travels but I have seen you make enough sandwiches.

Love the alpenglow

Chris, you walked right past the cheez It’s..

WalMart...God bless them!

Keep the dog it's good for 20k more subscribers

Looks like you were having fun with the puppy, could that be an option in the future?

Awesome 👍🏼

At what point did you realize it was too muddy? 😜😜 After it was too late! Geez!

Yes, it's a pounder burger but 39.95 , seriously ? It's not 2030 yet . Thanks for the interesting show.

Great vids and excellent camera work. One question...you don't like charcoal? Seems to me a Weber Smokey Joe would be a perfect addition to your kit. They are very versatile and can really open up your daily menu.

I feel your pain on public roads coming to an unexpected end because it crosses through private land. It's a constant issue in Oregon where oftentimes the BLM land is literally checkerboarded in with private land. It's not unusual to cross from public to private to public numerous times in an afternoon, and in many cases the roads go through with no restriction (other than signs indicating you can't go wandering off the road onto the land itself) but then sometimes without warning you run into a gate or No Trespassing sign and may have to backtrack for miles to find another route. This issue plagued my most recent excursion...it certainly gets frustrating after it happens multiple times in one trip. Great video, enjoyed the episode as always and looking forward to whatever you find next.

Dude, you need to hook up with wonder hussy and find out where the hot springs are in that area.

Welcome back to Tx

What is the ground clearance for your jeep? Thanks and I enjoy your videos

Every go exploring around British Columbia? I think you'd enjoy it during the summer months.

Green chili hey Loll I hear you

If I show up to a campsite and there's already firewood stacked up, that's camp. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I’ve recently stared watching your videos. I haven’t come across one yet that you’ve shared about your rooftop camper. It looks pretty cool... please let me know who makes it and which video tells me about it. Thanks

Georgetown, TX a little northeast of Austin has a nice, historic downtown area that would make for some decent footage too.

Muito bom seus vídeos. Abraço! Fã no Brasil!

Now I know you saw those cheez-it’s

Didn’t know you could get repair parts for the electronic sway bar disconnect. Do you mind telling us how much the actuator cost?

Maybe you can get that back seat on a swivel so you can sit and rotate it around for more comfort.

There is no internet between Cloudcroft and Carlsbad. Much less fast internet. I drive from Texas to south of Cloudcroft almost once a year for the past 30 years to ride atv's or dirtbikes on the trail system. Early in the season you have to take a saw because of all of the downed trees on the trails. Just part of life up there.

Did I miss an optometrist visit? And did Jeep ever contact you to be at one of their events for a meet and greet?

Great video's ! Hey what is the name brand of that wok you have , pretty cool . Safe travels.

Dude needs a puppy companion

I think it would be a big hit for a video if you went to Whole Foods and bought a bunch of healthy food for once. 😉

Chris, as always, love your work! BTW, did you pause at the tomatoes and look around??

beer beer beer

Are you not allowed to clear the fallen trees on the road in a national forest? Or did you just not want to?

Hi Chris! #2 🤗🤗🤗🤗
