V7E24: Out of Season on the Upper Peninsula

Рет қаралды 77,157

Күн бұрын

Winter weather and freezing temperatures give way to a snowy adventure on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This week, I loop around the peninsula, dabbling in the backcountry while trying not to get the Jeep stuck, and experiencing a smattering of unique wilderness destinations. For some relief from unrelenting snowfall, I enjoy an evening in Munising. The week concludes in Cheboygan, as I cross the Mackinac and continue south.

Start sharing his videos with friends and Family, that's what I do. I don't really see Chris being one of those guys on here that, obsesses with the amount of followers that he has. So with that being said, it really falls upon us as his faithful followers, to share his videos with others, to get the word out about Chris's wonderful Channel. But yes, I totally agree. However being someone who's been falling Chris, for many years now. I've had the pleasure of watching the popularity of Chris's Channel grow, yes his channel is quite addicting. Every Saturday morning without fail, me and my young son sit and watch Chris's Channel as we enjoy our Saturday morning breakfast. I guess you can say, for us it's become a little bit of a tradition now. So my advice to all of Chris's faithful followers, share his videos. Because honestly, all Chris ready worry about is, what's over the horizon.

A remote starter will run the vehicle for 15 mins. Long enough to warm it up but you would not die of carbon monoxide. Besides as long as you have no leaks in your exhaust it won't happen .sounds like a good idea to me.

Hey Chris, I have the same model JK as you except in rescue green. Listening to your engine, when you get to PA, something you need to add to your to do list on your jeep is packing the bearings on the 2 idler pulleys. I can hear them whining because they are running dry. Its easy to do. Just pull your serpentine belt, take off the 2 idler pulleys, and with a very small flat screw driver remove the plastic sleeves on the bearings and pack them with a bit of grease. If the bearings feel loose, then replace it. by the sound of them, they shouldnt be too far gone yet so pack them. Your engine wont have that high pitch wine, under acceleration, anymore. Beautiful scenery, youve stepped up your game here lately, Great camera work too. Jesus Saves!!!! God Bless!!!!!!

@matthewwesley2179 3 жыл бұрын

The most underrated place in the country, the UP! You have to go back in the summer when all the snow is melted. The forests are endless, the great lakes are mesmerizing, and the backcountry travel is incomparable to any place in the contiguous US!! Also, they get more snowfall then other spot in the lower 48 averaging over 300 inches per year!!!

We have been hooked now for quite some time and she stays up to watch it with me when I get home around midnight, even though she has to be up at seven. She especially appreciates that you don’t have any annoying music, only natural sounds! She hates trail recon videos! Anyhow, we will miss you next week and look forward to the next video. God bless and safe travels! John in eastern Oregon.

Chris: I have watched your videos from the beginning, but your Michigan UP trip really struck a chord with me. I am a native Michigander, and I have been to most of the places featured in this video, several times, often 4x4ing in my own Jeep and several other 4-wheel drive vehicles, and camping "back in the day" (I am now 63 years old, and have come to greatly appreciate very much a soft warm bed and heated abode!). You have done an excellent job of portraying our beautiful Upper Peninsula; however, you have only scratched the surface. I sincerely hope that you return soon to Michigan, to continue your exploration of our magnificent state. Keep up the good work. Happy Thanksgiving!~ --Vern Bennett (Portage, MI; and Fife Lake, MI)

The UP is my favorite place on earth, especially in the winter. If for no other reason than missing out on the bugs, winter camping in the UP is spectacular. It looks like you hit some nice spots. If you come back this Summer or Fall to explore the forest roads you'll find even more. I've spent 2-3 weeks of my year in the UP since I was young. I'll never see all of it in my lifetime.
