Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. kzread.infoUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I know it's been awhile since I have posted. A lot of you know my jeep got broken into back in September and it's been a tough few months to bounce back to say the least. Filming and editing this video brought back a lot of the motivation and creativity that I’ve been lacking over the last few months. I can't thank you guys enough for the kind words and support over the last year and for helping grow this channel to 275,000 subscribers! It's been a wild ride and I'm very excited for what's to come in 2022!

Damn! That’s rough.. I left the states in 2015 and haven’t looked back. Couldn’t imagine someone breaking into my truck up here in Finland! Heck, I’ve dropped my wallet on the beach and went back later in the day to find someone had taken it to the nearest ice cream stand and they were holding it for me. Everything was still in it, including a thousand euro (worth more than $1k USD). People are so respectful and responsible up here and by federal law everyone is allowed to enjoy the forests freely without hinderance - and ~70% of Finland is forest, with 180k lakes, so it’s an overlanding paradise! I also love lake hopping with the float plane and elk hunting! 🤠

This is a top ten all time youtube videos, the camera work, the editing, the content. Amazing, my second time watching it too.

I just wanted to say I’m so sorry to hear about all your stuff getting stolen it is wrong in so many ways but you’re looking on the bright side you’re healthy you’re smiling and you’re still doing what you love hopefully they will catch the people that did that to you and you will get your memories back much love

glad you’re back Drew. Sorry for what happened to you. I’m a collector of beautiful moments. Thanks for making that collection grow with your astonishing videos. All the best for 2022. Keep up the good work. Kind regards from the Netherlands.

Anyone who has ever made even a small video knows how much time and effort it takes to make one like this. Good background music and sound effects, beautiful scenery, thank you for making a beautiful video. 👍

Best winter campfire trick I know is to lay a 2 foot piece of tinfoil on the snow and build your fire on top of that . The tinfoil will keep the evaporating snow from dousing the fire overtop. Portable fire pit works every time and will allow you to get the most heat out of your wood. I know this works because I only camp when it rains or snows. Just remember to take the tinfoil when you leave.

Hey Drew...you may have had some very precious possessions taken from you and an interruption to your travels but the most important thing that wasn't taken is your talent and heart for producing beautiful images.

Drew....you are definitely an artist when it comes to filming and setting up shots. Your rig is an awesome setup...looks like you can sleep inside the Jeep as well as the rooftop tent. I currently have a no build setup in my Jeep trailhawk and its cozy while wintercamping here in Canada. My maiden name is Simms which is interesting as it isnt very common...British I think on my grandfathers side. Anyways...glad you are rebounding from your breakin...its not easy to bounce back...I know as its happened to me as well. Enjoy your holidays...again epic video...thanks for taking us along! 🌲🌲🌲

Hey I just want to encourage you to move forward and don't let your loss stop you. Your work brought me joy 💕 and I want to see this land for myself because you showed me, so thank you! Keep going!

I'm 8minutes in and already... my mind is blown. I've said 'wow' more times than I can count. I used to do solo videos a few years ago and appreciate just how much time and effort it takes to do so such shots. But not only set them up, but get shots that give the 'wows'. 10/10. Amazing.

The shots you get are incredible. Such amazing videos. Can’t wait for each one.

Once more, bravo! Your stories have such depth, the way the visuals feel effortless and carry us through the scenery, almost allowing us to smell the pines, feel the heat of fire, the warmth of coffee. Keep on going dude, your work is a sight for sore eyes 🤙🏼

I just miss the moment when I was a little girl sitting in front of my window on a rainy day. On that day, the world looked so stunning and I had thousand innocent dreams. However, this life has colored me gray or black. I always miss the days when I was able to see all of the colors clearly as a little girl.

Another epic Drew Simms Video and all I can say is WOW. I mean shots like started at 21:59 that opens up to the grand beauty of the waterfall, the creativity, the mastery, the control, The Man Drew Simms. Well done sir !!

Speechless. Absolutely beautiful. After your post from the car break in, all I could think was “ I hope this doesn’t stop him”. You have a gift and serious talent Drew. To see you’ve come back and persevere despite that heavy setback, you are more than on your way to a lifetime of success & happiness. You’re a self sufficient determined young dude & so many of us are so proud of you. I wish nothing but a year of prosperity, health and protection for you. All the best.
