An evening of culinary delight under the watchful gaze of a Mt. Hood - a symphony of flavors and a breathtaking view that words can hardly capture. Join me as I cooke up a storm and set up camp in this picturesque haven. Let's relish the magic of the moment together! 🌄🍳🏕

There's just something about the 4runner and overland culture that has a soothing and healing nature to it. That combined with the aesthetic videography and lo-fi, it makes me look forward to my personal 4runner build and my adventures to come. Hope to see more of your content down the line.

Appreciate that!

The connection to nature in this video is palpable. Offroading and overlanding are true escapes to the wild!

Fascinating video. I camped in Oregon national forest last year and it was amazing. From Colorado here and we got tons of great places for disperse camping.

A brotha You definitely have talent in the overlander culture. Your culinary skills are excellent and very sultry. Your video editing is perfect, checking out the build while the Orzo cooks down is genius. Great Job. Greetings from a fellow overlander in San Luis Obispo CA.

Good build, campsite, food, chill music, and absolutely flawless videography! This is some seriously good work. Many thanks!

Wow! Oregon’s outdoor scenery is just fascinating, such amazing views… It’s fun and exciting to camp with 4R while exploring the nearby places and trails… 👍🏻

great video! great camp spot and great 4runner set up. simple but with style

This is why I receive my 4Runner Wednesday. Can't wait to spend time in the outdoors

I subscribed the moment you videoed the wild flowers. I'm one who appreciates nature. Thanks for showing the same appreciation.

Nice video chef Ramsey 😊. I miss my home. The most beautiful place on earth. Well done video of the mount Hood forest

One of the things i miss about Oregon are the views and the beautiful natural environment of the area. Great video man!👍

One of the best videos I’ve seen, thank you for sharing.

I love this type of videos!

Amazing video. Great production Certainly sets a vibe 😎 Thank you Sir 🫡

You have a very nice 4 runner. I see a lot camping videos and a lot of these guys also have Toyotas. I also own one and am a huge Toyota guy myself. When your in the middle of nowhere the last thing you want is to be stranded but you can always count on Yotas to take you home.

first couple minutes were so beautiful I started tearing up. wow.

Damn! That dish looks so good. Can't wait to give it a shot even at home!

That opening scene with the mountain backdrop is breathtakingly beautiful. And I can’t imagine the amount of work shooting those scenes alone, plus the editing. Big beautiful country there, enjoy!

I didn’t know this was a cooking channel 😄. That looked so delicious! 🙌🏽

so relaxing love it

Great video Francis! Wish I could be out there with you.. awesome beautiful views! Takes me back when my Dad and I would go to the High Sierra’s in California!! Nothing like being outdoors! Keep rolling my friend! FYI… just put my deposit on my 4Runner TRD PRO ICE CAP… get rig you have there…

I came to see a tour of the 4Runner but got completely sidetracked on how bomb that chicken orzo was. Impeccable recipe and execution, cheers!

Just stumbled upon your channel. Your videos are super underrated! It’s a surprised you’re not getting more visibility. Love your work man

I really enjoyed this video! The videography is well done, keep it up👍

Awesome video. I got a 4Runner rigged with a tent. Makes me want to hit the road again. The call of the wild.

beautiful sunset...thanks for sharing

Ahh, thanks for the beautiful Video, I need a reset - Hahaha! Miss being out there.

I know that spot quite well, Francis. It’s a good one. I grew up on this mountain, spent lots of my childhood there, and it’s a huge part of me. Dude, you absolutely crushed it on showing how beautiful it is in that intro. Well done, man. Makes me miss it.

That dinner looked amazing ! Awesome video!

Definitely thinking of doing the same with my 4runner. Looking forward to seeing where you head off to next!

Love your content!! I think it’s so cool how you’re traveling and living out of your 4Runner. I was wondering if you’ll do like a Q&A or something similar on what that life looks like (laundry, social life, etc) because i want to know if i could do that someday

She is my daily driver and overland vehicle, really nice setup you have, be safe out there.

Such awesome shots, man! Really looking forward to more content with the 4runner and your setup. 🤙How do you like the ultra swing? Is it worth it compared to a full-size rear bumper?

@francisngo

Жыл бұрын

Thanks! More videos coming for 2023! To your question, I much prefer a tire swing as it doesn't require any cutting to the 4Runner's body and it fits my needs so at least for me, its worth it. Additionally, with the sidehack, you can mount just as much accessories as you can with a full-size rear bumper.

Type of quality that will make it

Nice 4R, nice views

great vids! Love the cinematic shots

Sweet!! What a view to go to bed with and wake up to at your campsite. Mount Hood looks magnificent & spectacular! No imperfections in Earth's Eden that I can see. Just Mother nature working in perfect harmony and peace as she always has since the beginning of creation. Ah, and that dinner, buen provecho! I've never had, seen or knew about Orzo pasta. Definitely added to my list of new dinners to try. Always looking for new ways to add some new character and addition to plain ol' seasoned chicken breasts even though they are yummy. And with that view! Amazing!
