Solo Winter Camping in the Mountains
In this video, I head up to the local mountains to take advantage of this rare winter storm that we're having in Southern California and do some snowy camping. I also cook a rather 'fancy(ish)' meal on my trucks tailgate.
Enjoy!

so I watch a lot of youtube videos, I have only commented on a few videos ever.... but i wanted you to know that I truly enjoy your upbeat positive energy & sharing your adventures with us all. It's good content & truly hope you keep it up!
Folding shovels on amazon are cheap efficient and perfect for this situation.
It was hilarious when he sneezed and **NOT COVID** flashed on the screen. I needed a laugh..ty
Blackened Salmon for the winter camping win!
Jonathon: mountain snow camping- miso glazed salmon in a cast iron grill with asparagus 😳 Me: at my house- boxed mac n cheese with fried hotdogs😩 🙏 Jesus, take the wheel. I'm not adult enough. 😭
“I hope I don’t attract a bear by making a bear’s absolute favorite food in the middle of the woods when food is scarce.” 🤣
WD-40 only works for a short time because it's a anti seize lubricant. Try using a good grease or penetration oil. Should fix it up. Great video!👍🍻
Your music choices are FABULOUS and really set you apart. Nicely done!
Love the sound you make after your first sip of coffee.
We wait for the sip, and the Woooo!!!!! YES!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Love the videos 🤙🏼🤙🏼 keep em coming
It’s not burnt bro! How chefs call it “It’s blackened salmon”

Almost. Need the right seasoning
A mini shovel would be cluttchhhhh lol
Great video and gotta say you make it all look SO EASY ! Love how you actually cook a meal On the tail gate of your truck ! You certainly have a great outlook & positive attitude in all you do ! Thx for a great video . Looks like a great time ... but looks pretty cold 🥶 Be safe out there 👍🏼
Death by coffee 😳 I love salmon that has the skin charred..perfect!
i had that exact squeak on my toyota also. i dont remember what exact part they changed because it was 3 years ago but the part was only $30.
awesome music while making coffee
Your pan is way to hot. Olive oil will smoke if the pan is too hot. But your dinner looks delicious. You're a brave man for sleeping in a tent the winter! I applaud your enthusiasm. Nice choice of music for having a cup of coffee. Still love your whooo! Drive safe. Keep safe. God bless you on your next adventure. 😘
Oh you’re an excellent photographer/ videographer. The views are stunning in the snow🥰
great video! different background music I enjoy! btw the reason your tent got so wet was because of that heater, unless you've got an electric fan running to blow around the air you'll keep getting soaked like that every time. one of the things I do is, I own a big Agnes Echo park -20 bag. -20 is more like its EN limit and the EN comfort is more like -5 to 0. anyway that bag has kept me toasty warm and since its synthetic wet doesn't effect its warmth very much. only downside is its NOT impact at all when it stores.
Snow makes everything more beautiful. Nice vlog!
My baby boy is 19 months old and he loved this video! He’s wondering what snow is tho. We live in southern Florida. 🤣🌴❄️

Your videos are entertaining. Keep it up 👍
Great video. The dinner looked delicious. It looked way too cold to be camping in a tent or camping period. I have to say I’d be scared out there by myself. You handled everything like a pro. 😊
Dinner sure liked yummy!! Love the music! I wish I had your energy!
Gorgeous! I love mountains! We are surrounded by mountains and hiking trails in Tucson, Arizona where I live, but I like watching other people’s videos and vlogs about their adventures in other places. Thanks for sharing! I’m following!
Looks absolutely delicious 👍👍
“Not Covid”. Thanks for the laugh!
Another awesome video! Your adventurism is inspiring! 👍💜🛻⛺️
Bears didn’t hibernate in Central Virginia when I lived there. I think you’re right about them maybe not hibernating in LA.
Very Soothing to watch
Wow that is awesome camping! Very nice video, really enjoyed watching it! Regards from Russian winter camping! Yury!

Motivating Me! Your videos are an inspiration and a testament to how great camping can be! keep it up Brother!
Nice camp spot. Should of cracked the tent open to get some air coming in. Now I need to do some truck camping. 👍😁
Lemon on the salmon after cooking wound be bomb
Totally enjoyed your video! Background music is incredibly memorizing!
Yummy salmon
That's what I call livin the life
Enjoyed the video! Love your cutting board! 😀
Great video as always! Love the winter views in dry climate landscape :-) Looks special to me since I'm used to rain forest winter camping in BC, Canada. For the condensation issue you can try not covering all the sides of the tent with the snow (ideally leave open the one on the leeward side) that way you won't get the snow draft in but still be able to keep some air circulation. Your intention was great for keeping tent warm but closing all sides up also keeps the water in. Especially with the propane heater that produce lots of moisture. I believe some winter expedition tents have a better ventilation systems on the top (more openings etc.), cause they are made with that in mind . I found regular 3 season tents always get quite a bit of condensation, at least here in BC's moist rainforest! Excited for yet another video, cheers ;-)

Hello I'm a new subscriber I enjoy watching
Good stuff.
thanks for the wonderful adventure.
Just do u and don't worry about what others think
19:52 the moment we were all waiting for
I admit the scenery is gorgeous, but camping in the snow and cold is something I would only do if I were bound and gagged. I'm glad you enjoyed it and was not attached by a bear for your salmon entree.
😋THAT’S NOT BURNT 😁
Great video man!! That meal looked delish! 🤙 camping is the best, tent truck, car or whatever 😁 my Jeep is a little snug but it works
Another great video! Thank you!
I love these episodes!
Awesome video. The coffee tho. Lol
HI. It looks like you were able to wake up after dawn,. that is a good thing:)
Hey Jonathan Great Camp spot how ever I have a Question how come you burned the fish I wish I had smell a vision love fish
Fun! Pretty spot. Thx for sharing 👍😎
I just camp in the city limits when I camp. As long as it's safe and there's a campground nearby, it's okay. Sometimes I go elsewhere. I just like to try new things for the sake of trying new things and hiking and camping and fishing and doing those things that are important to help environment safety. It's good stuff 👍! This is awesome stuff, Mr. Yencht!

@@JonathanYentch thanks! Your video about the open truck concept got me thinking about maybe getting a pickup truck to start, too. Saving, saving! $ social security and waiting for a good job is different when you are 50 and a woman compared to when you are a guy. People are quite descriminating against older women in the work place. Especially Catholic women. I work hard. I'm the marrying kind of person. Hopefully things will work out. Thanks Mr. Yencht. Keep up the good work. I'm hoping to break into the same kind of work, myself. God bless you.
Wow, state parks have been open for months in other states.

Try white lithium grease for the squeaking pedal. I've used it on my squeaky clutch pedal and it hasn't come back in years.

I was worried as soon as you opened that Salmon (along with the maple syrup!!🐻 Your meal looked as if it came from a Bistro/Bar and Grill kind of a place!!🥬🐟

Check out “Girl in the woods “ she is an amazing camper. She and her husband buy land and build small little cottages. Their dog and cat goes with her out camping.

I got a sick tactical shovel on amazon , has tons of devices. I dig fire pits and rocks with it! I need to get you one :)
The bosa Nova jazz music at the end was awesome...i wish you would give reference to the music in your descriptions on each video. Would you please do that? What was that song btw?
What happened to the truck camper build? AS having camped in the snow in Ontario Canada. We shovelled out the base and dropped one of those insulated blankets and then insolated pad. We were told that blowing into the air mattress cause moisture to get in it. It created cold coming up from the ground. This was winter camping in 1980 when it got cold as -40

He's still working on the truck camper. I'm sure we'll get another update soon.
Try lithium grease spray. It works better than wd-40
Mt. Laguna? Mt. Palomar? Looks like so much fun!
Shouldnt cover sides of tent with snow ,that's why your condensation was so bad.
I’ll be looking all around to make sure there’s no bears creeping up on me lol
Hell yes, Silk Sonic!!
Where is this man? I live in San Diego and I’m always looking for new places to camp
That's to cold for me🤣
The snow is beautiful but I hate it. I live in Texas. Enough said. Lol
Hey Johnathon liked you in the tent. Wish i could be there with you.
Man awesome video! Where did you camp? Epic spot would love to find it this winter
I loved the video.
'Happy St. Patty's Day!''🍀🍀
damn haha that was some mad condensation you gotta be careful with that with winter camping
didn't you know burning propane inside (or out) gives off moisture? You need to keep vents open.
Looks good!
Ps get a cutting board .👍Also turn down your heat on the fish.
1st Amazing scenery, wow Makes Indiana look sad, lol, yes comment below, Blackened Salmon, And who cares what it looks like and long as it was tasty, Was the condensation from snow melting ? or just heating the cold air.. I wish I was able to enjoy life and freedom like this, By the way when are U starting back on the camper? I remember you said you was taking time off for the camping.
Great vid, I enjoyed it with some Dutch beer and a little snack as advised! 😁

Now if you really had wanted to be clever, you would have figured out how to set up that footage of you backing into the campsite without the tell tale footprints in the snow! ;-)
You don't pack snow onto a tent with no flaps on the side your just pushing snow onto the side on your tent
I always enjoy your videos Jonathan from here in Chicago. I am really am getting involved with that truck camper rebuild. Just curious, what was the elevation of where you camped at just now near LA?

Your dinner could be served in any upscale restaurant here in Toronto (if any were open - closed because of Covid -19) I would just be worried about the bears or mountain lions that might want to share it with you.
