Jonathan, thanks for the Anker plug, no pun intended. We were considering another name brand for some time and decided to buy something since there are so many sales at the moment. After watching your video, we browsed the Anker website and bought the Anker C1000. It should arrive in a few days! It's specs and features are better than the competition, and the unit had many 5 star reviews. I made sure to click the link you provided, so hopefully that helps you and the channel. Safe travels!
i feel fairly safe in saying i think i speak for the majority of the people here when i say we really appreciate the work and effort you put into these videos. the 'drive by' shots, 'leaving' shots, and of coarse the 'BTS' shots at the end take your videos to a higher level compared to many other 'campers'. and the fact that you know when to let the natural sound be the soundtrack instead of always adding music like so many others do. your videos come across as a friend showing us what you did last weekend. thank you for the entertainment.
A tip for repairing your waders. Turn them inside out and fill one leg with water. Locate the leak and mark it with a sharpie. Do the same with the other leg but only one at a time. Once you locate the leak. dry the waders and then apply a sealant like Aqua Seal or Silicone. When winter fly fishing, try using 2 nymphs and no dry fly. In the Fall and Winter, most of the feeding is happening on the bottom of the river. Add weight to get the fly on the bottom.
I love your videos my friend. I know all of us who are subscribed appreciate what you do and the content you put out. Thank you for your positivity in today’s world.
I love that you are exploring more fishing. I also enjoy your cookups. Sponsored videos are fine...you need to make money. Your sense of humour keeps things ticking along. Thanks for including us on your treks! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Wow. Looks great for a 25 yr old truck. Garaged most likely. $150 bucks to fill with regular. Classic Toyota V8. You see contractors driving all over the place with this model.
Ever the optimist. That will take you a long way. I love your intro shots, your music, and the editing. These videos are good. Your videos have always been good, but they are definitely getting better. Keep it up!
Good video. Nice camping spot. Just some little simple tarp setup for your Tundra bed would be perfect; I’m sure you enjoyed the open air, but you gotta stay dry. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the truck repairs
Dude! You were doing great fly fishing! You had a great set up on and a decent part of the river. Sometimes they just don’t bit. Don’t give up! I joined your channel from your Sierra Nevada fishing episode and been a fan ever since! I’m also relatively new to fly fishing and it’s about getting out there a lot (All self taught on RU-vid). Took me 3 or 4 trips till I got my first fish. Then they started rolling in! You’re soooo close to your first fish on the fly rod! Keep it up!!
In order to always have what you need to camp with, in a 5 gallon bucket and you won't forget anything. You can buy a two part lid. The inner lid screws into the outer lid which is basically a snap-on ring that is threaded for the inner lid. One is called Leaktite. I bought one from Lowe's. Home Depot has them but all I can find is a price for a pallet of the lids.
Beautiful views from the camping spot. 😮 Keep up the positivity, and kudos for not letting obstacles discourage you from continuing to camp and create content. We’re rooting for you! #SafeTravels #HappyCamping #ThanksForSharing 🏕️
This adventure was really "roughing it" compared to your camper. While the weather seemed a bit on the chilly side, it did look like you were having fun. That meal was also a winner. Take care and good luck getting your camper fixed and ready for the road.
Wow, that seems to be one of the most awesome camp adventures ever, good food, good fire, warm sleep, fresh air! Your video was excellent , I actually felt as if I were there! Thanks for taking us along Jonathan, I hope your week is wonderful! 🥰😀👋👋👍👍
Hey! Really enjoyed tagging along on your latest adventure. The unexpected twists, from Ford repairs to the chilly river fishing, kept things exciting. Your positive vibe, even when the fish slipped away, is contagious! The camping spot was a hidden gem, and that campfire meal - mouthwatering! Looking forward to the Ford's comeback and hoping for some snowy escapades. Keep these awesome journeys coming - you've got a knack for turning the unexpected into pure fun!
Hello Jonathan it was nice to see you again. I loved it. And by the way my husband and I have the exact same Tundra just not as many miles as yours it drives like a tank. I actually left my husband watch your fly fishing experience we have been fly fishing for many years we like to go out West. Until the next video. Stay safe
I'm actually happy that you are driving the old truck due to safety reasons!🤗 The green in the scenic views look so amazing!!🌄And your food always looks like it's delicious, even if there's a messed up looking avocado present!🍲🥑See ya soon on more great adventures, and have a great Thanksgiving!🦃☕
Try keeping the fly hooked on the 2nd or 3rd line guide instead of the little keeper ring, and wrap the fly line around the back of the reel. This way you always keep some fly line out of the rod tip and when you get to where you want to fish you don’t need to fiddle with the line to get it out.
I used to have that exact model tundra, but mine was a v6 and it also got horrible gas mileage. I sold it with 349,000 miles on it, those trucks are bulletproof.
Love the Tundra! Another good option for it would be a truck bed tent. Like a Kodiak truck tent! Would at least give protection from the rain when not using the camper. 👌
Nice little spot John , loved the used Tundra you picked up. Looks like she still runs great with 240k 👍 better luck next time 🎣 fishing. Loved the big horn sheep on the mountain. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
In the spirit asked, "who needs a truck camper?" ANYONE who doesn't want to get fried from the sun, soaked in the rain, and freeze in the snow!! However, having camped in nature many a time growing up, I know it can be done without a camper, or even a tent. It's only as we grow older that we WANT and need the comfort and saftey that shelter of some sort gives us while camping. But I'm sure you know this already, and only meant the question metaphorically or rhetorically. 😅😅😅
Hello Jonathan, This was a good little adventure and Beautiful country, and that meal you prepared looked Super Yummy, it made me write down the idea for a future meal camping or not, Good Video, Thanks from John & Argie
You should consider doing more cooking videos in between your camping adventures. You have good recipes and access to great food markets in Oregon 🤷♂️
Welcome back to the Toyota family, get a softopper for it, they’re cheap (compared to a regular camper) they’re suprisingly way more water proof than a regular camper and the best part is it’s super light weight and you can take it and and off under a minute
i always double hook set when i get one on. Then for slower deep water you can always use a streamer, throw a big mend to get it down. the fish on the d can be very spooky. i try to cast behind brush and a little further. good luck and tight lines!
Johnathan, really consider a Kodiak canvas 2 person tent for your Tundra! That way when the the camper is on the blitz, you can still go camping and make videos!!!!❤
That Kodiak looks really sweet. I have the Napier Backroadz for my first gen tundra and it works great and is a fraction of the cost. But the Kodiak looks super nice.
trout lay around rocks where the food comes to them, they don't travel but a few feet once in a hole. they adjust activity according to quantity of food coming to them.
Grilled Chicken burrito bowl. Yum. Glad you are not spooked. Kinda creepy out there in the dark, but I guess the bears are asleep and the coyotes are too small.
Sometimes smaller rivers (or sections of rivers) are easier to fish because they provide more options and you won't feel so overwhelmed. Fish don't really hang out and feed in wide open clear portions of water. Why? That's not where their food is, that's not safe for them and they would have to expend too much energy to maintain position in open current. You were right to acknowledge that you probably weren't in the best spot on the river but I would focus on finding smaller sections that have lots of rock/logs/features for fish to hide around and look for seams on the water where foam and other floating debris is.
On light freshwater fly fishing tackle, the reel is for storage, not retrieval. Get your fish in by stripping the line back. Heavier saltwater fishing you use the reel and drag.
Hi Jonathan I just ran into your channel about a week ago and now binge watching all of your numerous past content. Excellent and very interesting style of Vloging. Good to see your new episode 😊👍 In one of your recent videos, it mentions that you "made a mistake" Maybe it's me, but what was the mistake that was made? 🤔 Keep up the great content! 😊👍
My bro made a meal straight out of chipotle 😂 also you’ve become the king of the tundras…. Hey man, I feel the love. I have a 18 tundra… 😂 love the snow peak grill. I have the small one. Love my exped as well 🤘🏾👊🏾👍🏾
Sup mane? I knew something was up in your other vid when you went crabbin'. I was like who's truck he got lol? Love ur vids bro. You are truly appreciated.
Loved the video , seeing the goats was cool. Where is that campsite , what river. Who knows I might actually get to go there one day ? Hopefully so ! Love your little Tundra ! Have a great Thanksgiving !
✨ Early on in the video I was trying to figure out where you were... I was guessing Canada ! 😄 Oregon is such an amazing state ! You can even find gold on the ground I've seen in other videos ! Maybe you can look into that sometime, $$$ You never know ! Whatch out for that gold bug ! It's addicting Johnathan ! 😄
Tundra is darn good truck, just broken in. Ford, one side worn other is too. Tie rod ends, ball joints shocks need looked at steering link. I have '90 model F250 with 323k on it. Bought new so I know it. Need you an affordable topper cap. At least in the dry.
Love your vids man, but not everyone needs a daily driver. Living in Seattle makes it easy for my g/f and I to share a car, and we only use it for out of town trips. Daily "driving" is what bikes and buses are for! But keep up the good work and I look fwd to the day you make a vid about not needing a daily driver in PDX.
Rough water is better for fly fishing... they cant see the line as well and they tend to be more aggressive.... Great sear on the chicken .... I bet it was awesome... I wish I had smellavision....
Just great content as always. BLM land seems to be more reasonably priced than the State Parks. The camp sites seem to be more out of the way and more rugged and naturally beautiful as well. The food just looked awesome too. You manage to eat taste fully, healthfully no matter where you are. I really thought you were going to get a fish out there! It just looked fishy out there. Lol. I bet that one that you had on the line was a good one. Next time!🙂 It's a good thing you checked out that wobble on your truck! O my goodness Jonathan. If you hadn't checked it out as quickly as you did, things could have turned out differently. The way that wheel wobbled was just insanly dangerous! And it is true that when you have an older vehicle, you start out to correct one thing and end up finding out there are a couple of other things tht need work as well but for me, Toyotas and Hondas are great automobile s. I have had several and not one has ever left me stranded. Okay, Happy Turkey Day my friend. Are you going to be back in SoCal for it? Have a good one my friend. We do have soo much to be thankful for. Hope to see Tessa soon as well. Later on!🌊🌊🌊🌊🙂🦃🦃
