Both our literal backyard, and figurative backyard! This episode commences with an around-the-house life update, and a short video clip from Cyclovia Tucson 2023. Then, I head out into the backcountry of southern Arizona to do some exploring in the Jeep. I spend the night at a lovely hilltop campsite, enjoy a strenuous hike to a secret pool, and explore forest roads, in a serene, mountainous landscape.

Great episode and nice little update on the house. That's the way to go!

@scottymac5174 Год назад

Being a total Transplant in AZ!!!!! I love it.

@ettaplace6716 10 месяцев назад

Welcome to amazing Tucson - so much to see and do and so diverse ! Enjoy …

@lornasleeper7262 Год назад

I think you are making a good transition. I like the idea of you doing a vacation overland adventure and film it into several episodes.

@davidsongvlogsvintage Год назад

Great👌

@chrisjeep777 Год назад

Great update and I am so happy seeing Orangy doing its thing!

@stevenhu202 Год назад

Glad to see you return to original style. This was a great one to watch.

@larryyoung2071 Год назад

Really enjoyed this episode. I'm glad you are getting a chance to settle down and enjoy a more permanent existence. Love your back yard. It does look very relaxing. I think you are taking the right approach and I'm sure you will continue to provide excellent videos. I do love your presentation and look forward to seeing much more.

@TacoTraveller Год назад

Just finished watching last weeks video. My wife and I never miss an episode. I haven’t watched this one yet, but I wanted to say that we look forward to your new adventures as a homeowner. Overlanding and nomad life is great, but there’s nothing like putting down roots somewhere too.

@gregmgm06 Год назад

I really liked this video. Thanks for including home updates. Maybe this is a new format!

@bryantyler7456 Год назад

👍🏼👍🏼

@gregmacd2829 Год назад

Chris, I know you don't replay (at least not here) but just know, people follow your channel because of you and not just because of the travel, I have enjoyed watching your adventures for the last four or five years, yes things have evolved, but that is to be expected. Just continue being the somewhat likable, nerdy guy that loves adventure and people will continue to follow along. Best of luck with the house and Shannon...enjoy the evolution and new life that you have, and please continue to bring us along for the journey.

@venture4wd Год назад

Thank you Greg!

@TheNotSoOrdinaryCarGuy Год назад

I love how out of all the amazing places you have been, y’all decided to settle in Arizona!

@willlockler9433 Год назад

As s a homeowner of 4 different domiciles since 1977, I can tell you, there is plenty of adventure afoot. Pretty little area you found. Enjoyed the mix.

@swikfors Год назад

Great to have you and Shannon now permanent in the Old Pueblo. And yes, there are plenty of place to explore in Arizona!

@dennisl6198 Год назад

Im amazed by the diversity of a place that I see in my mind as barren. Great introduction to your new home, and absolutely agree with everyone else's sentiments about your future, whatever that may be. Will be interesting to see how you adapt to the summer heat and how that informs your travel.

@EmoryullivanS-hv7vv Год назад

Nice green trees instead of the brown burnt desert. Good job

@conniewaite1371 Год назад

Settled down,peace and quiet,sounds like retirement.ahhh,the good life

@OverlandAZ Год назад

Coronado NF is incredible. You definitely picked a great location for your home base!

@JT-py9lv Год назад

Not too far from you is Rucker Canyon. You catch the road just outside of El Frida AZ. The road dead ends into Bear Canyon Campground. Some nice hiking in the area. Bear Canyon Campground always seems about 20' cooler. Also, there are some notorious people buried in AZ. Grave sites are fun to visit. One such place is the grave of Johnny Ringo, Dragoon, Arizona. See you down the trail.

@blackpearlvoyager4174 Год назад

By the way, there's only one way to tell if you're front axle is centered and that is to take measurements from a stationary point on each side and see if they match. If you don't have an adjustable front track bar, it won't make any difference, but if it's out of line by more than half an inch or so, you might want to upgrade your track bar to an adjustable one.

Portable Evap Cooler for your backyard patio asap. We all have them in my family as well as a tv and bbq!! Timmy C Arizona

@jacksak Год назад

Congratulations on finding your new home. That must have been a difficult decision to make, but I'm thinking you will be much more happy this way.

@richardreynolds3597 Год назад

Hey Chris, congrats on your new home and I wish you all the best on your new adventure!

@jf0314 Год назад

So bummed I missed Cyclovia this year...fantastic event for the Dirty T. Welcome home! Edit: If you ever want to go mountain biking, hit me up, this is a fantastic place for it. Is it cool to buy you a beer if I see you around?

@allenheaps2084 Год назад

Getting old is tough! I remember the day Chris when you used to eat trails like that for lunch, scrambling over rocks up cliffs etc. like there was no tomorrow. I really love following your adventures, thank you for sharing. Until next time Godspeed!

@woodrowcall3269 Год назад

Good video, you incorporated the house, bike event and your time on the trail. I’m not a huge fan of heat, but there’s no denying the beauty of the dessert landscape. Looking forward to your progression of the new content.

@blackpearlvoyager4174 Год назад

Was that a Jimmy John's № 9? Looked familiar. My absolute favorite from them with hots! That is some of the most rugged canyon terrain I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing it. Love the hidden pool at the end.

@scottymac5174 Год назад

I worked for years for the California State School System. As an accountant. My boss, The lady who hired me. The head California Community College Accountant, retired. She and her husband divested everything California and relocated to AZ... Now I am in a place... Trying to find a safe place to retire to and be safe,

@janpur1417 Год назад

Hi Chris, your contents are still by far the best. Not all with a camera can present a good attractive video, you are doing amazing! Keep exploring and at the same time enjoy your life with your lovely Shannon and your home. LIfe has to be balanced, which I am also doing! Oh.. I went on Camping to David Mountain State Park in TX. Yes, slept inside my 4x4. My wife said.. so this is like Chir's show!

@davidd6118 Год назад

While your story will continue to be about the adventure of learning, growing, and changing, your new home base should let you do that in different ways. How about sharing your experience of taking some cooking classes and maybe changing your food and health game? I have some friendly laughs about your food choices on the road, and it’s a part of your image and personality at this point. But, it’s difficult to see you settled into a house with a kitchen for 4 months, then hitting up Jimmy John’s on the way out of town. And, while chips and bottled queso are certainly easy, leaving an actual house and traveling in the Revel (a tiny home) could let you prepare great frozen/refrigerated food for the road, which would require about the same amount of time to warm and eat. Just a thought - please continue to share your genuine self, wherever that takes the two of you!

@mtnbound2764 Год назад

looking forward to the Home improvement DIY chapter of ventreu4wd!

@polligma1450 Год назад

Lovely backyard. Time to be watching out for rattlesnakes in the backyard and out hiking. Also scorpions. Great video.

@taurota1554 Год назад

awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along

@OCMike Год назад

Just soak the misters in regular vinegar for 24 hours. It should clear them right up. And the inline refrigerator water filter that someone else mentioned is a great tip. :)

@veedubya4636 Год назад

Definitely! Soak them in vinegar.

@cjoutdooradventures4896 Год назад

Congrats on the new homestead Chris. I find myself in Arizona often (Phoenix area) for business. But I am always in for a few days of business and back home to Michigan. I need to stop skipping the opportunity to explore Arizona while I am there.

@jenandjim149 Год назад

great video, keep up the good work!

@joshleal9811 Год назад

As you see Chris. You take orangy go out, explore, and go back home happy. That's what I'm talking about. Yea, many overlanders we do the same, go explore, enjoy few days and then come back home. Hopefully next weekend we can see you on a trip with shannon big hug.

@TurtleMash Год назад

We support you!!!!

@GeorgeChildress Год назад

Born in Tucson I now live in Rio Verde and adventure photography is my game. If I had even 1/2 your talent I would take your new plan and run with it. Simply create multiple segments of each trip and milk it. Can't wait to tag along as usual.

@katehutto6004 Год назад

That was a perfect video! Some personal/-thats a beautiful backyard!-and lots of venturing and camping in the beautiful southwest. I do enjoy that your videos are always current and would hate to see you change that.

@scottymac5174 Год назад

Orangy.. On the road for 200,000 + miles. Being fixed when it needs to be fixed.

@chrismv102 Год назад

Chris, I've enjoyed coming along with you. I'm glad you've found happiness. Your honesty did draw me to follow your travels. You could just fake enthusiasm for the sake of continuing your vlog but then I'd stop following you. It seemed that you were looking for this for a while. How you're spending your days right now are obviously important to you. I'll check in every once in a while.

@woof3598 Год назад

next door neighbor winters some place called " Tucson Estates " his buddy down there loves to take the ATV;s out in the desert but they always go armed cuase its not uncommon to come acrost food and water left for the folks heading north

@PhantomPhixer1 Год назад

Chris,I've been with you from day one and looked forward to your videos each week.Glad to hear you've finally found happiness.All the best to you but I guess it's time to move on as you have.Thanks for all the adventures...se ya'

Excellent home/trip video! Great to get a glimpse of your new digs-😎 back courtyard/patio!

@ajborowski Год назад

I’ll continue to watch no matter what, and you inspire me to start a similar channel from my Volkswagen EuroVan and running my dog Kennel. What type of camera do you use?

@mtnbound2764 Год назад

I love taking jimmy johns subs on hikes! great lunch at the summit!

@JohnDoe-xm9ql Год назад

Great video Chris..

@jimanderson8002 Год назад

Chris, you be careful going south of Tucson, better country up north, better camping as well!

@mackbooker8368 Год назад

That’s a lot of bicycles! Thanks for the adventure!!

@rustyharvey3481 Год назад

Another great video Mr.Chris I likes it

@Perry3377 Год назад

Chris, I was just curious. What precautions do you take to ward off critters while hiking or camping in the desert. Diamond backs, scorpions , black widow exc?! Safe travels Perry

@gilbertarnold8666 Год назад

I grew up in Arizona Tucson. Really enjoying your series and congratulations on finding a place. Tucson has hard water.

@maxrensberger9856 Год назад

Yep..been awhile..congrats on the house n keep on 4 wheelin..thanks

@search4truth104 Год назад

LOL, welcome to home ownership, yea 30-60 years sounds about right! Nice backyard, having a space like that can not be overstated enough.

@StephenGomez21 Год назад

Welcome to Arizona / Tucson ! Well so nothring really beat the AZ heat.

@ventureoffroading Год назад

As a means of diagnosing your spring issue you could try switching the springs side to side. That said, you will be able to compare them when you get them out.

@hughwolfe1176 Год назад

Good balance of home life and exploration… Chris it looks like you’ve incorporated a drone for a couple of the “following shots”, I bet that saves a lot of walking and back tracking.

@dnscud1 Год назад

Great show Chris. Hope you can work something out for the adventure.

@TheDieselApartment Год назад

Jimmy John's next to a hidden pool in Coronado National Forest? Now THAT is a bitchin' day!

@scottymac5174 Год назад

Be Careful in those little canyons bro. All of that you were hiking through was flash flood evidence.

@gizmofish57 Год назад

What I hate most, are the dead ends.

@Mink_24 Год назад

Keep telling the story is right … loved the adventures but I think you will find people are invested in you, not the travels … I think addressing the “elephant in the room” last week was much needed & was very much appreciated … congrats to you and Shannon on the home … look forward to seeing the new journey …

@timm6438 Год назад

Be careful out there, my daughter and son in law do search and rescue there. They stay busy in those canyons due to heat exhaustion.

@milonetzler67 Год назад

Are you living in the Tucson area? Looks familiar. I love how close you seem to live near the great outdoors.

@jbf5030 Год назад

Great episode Chris. When is it time for expedition Mexico??

@hughwolfe1176 Год назад

Chris add a refrigerator water filter to your mister line to help combat the calcium deposits… Drip irrigation is great as it gets the water where it’s needed, but you need to have a supply of pieces and parts on hand as somethings always in need of help.

@tranquilitybase6417 Год назад

Congratulations! I bought 20 acres up in Idaho and STILL taking camping trips at different spots around the property!

@sourdoughben Год назад

Texas plates but home owner in Arizona

@tommysimmons5266 Год назад

Ever been to the Texas canyon area between Benson and San Simon?

@steveflaim2656 Год назад

Great to see you enjoying your backyard there in Tucson! You will definitely appreciate the misters in the summer as it gets plenty hot there. The irrigation system is also important and not really all that hard to keep maintained. I travel a lot but always appreciate coming home - the happy place!

@dinamonaghan7524 Год назад

Loved the bouganvilla in your literal backyard. It comes in orange too.

@billmilner1 Год назад

Do you read these comments?

@azphonohunter Год назад

I'm confused; you live in Arizona, but you have a Texas plate only on the rear and I believe Texas requires front and rear plates.

@patinaz6758 Год назад

Arizona registration costs are based on vehicle value, which can get very expensive. Everyone new to Arizona tries what they can to avoid those costs.

@uritaub5441 Год назад

I see you got high hiking shoes. How is you foot healing?

@honusail Год назад

30 to 60 years!😂 Good attitude!

@problu9586 Год назад

Completely agree with you on hiring a licensed electrician to do your closet wiring. A wiring error could lead to damaging your electronics or burning down your home.
