Winter Camping - High Winds and Snow
The snow finally fell in the Cascade Mountains, so I headed up for Winter Camping. When I reached my location, there were extremely high winds and snow. I love the snow, but the wind chill makes camp setup difficult. My fingers were freezing, making me fumble around more than usual, and the high winds made it very difficult to get the awning deployed. Once my winter camping setup was complete. I was able to warm myself with the glowing fire. Which I would use to cook my evening meal. Campfire cooking is one of the joys of winter camping. For a bit of holiday cheer, I brought the old light-up snowman I have had since I was a young kid. The light from the snowman was also a welcome comfort. After dinner, it was a glass of whiskey by the fire and then off to bed. The Next morning we were greeted with a beautiful winter scene full of snow. The wind was still blowing high in the trees, but it was comfortable by the campfire. I pulled the cast iron skillet out, cooked a hearty breakfast, and sat enjoying a few cups of hot coffee by the fire.

I didn't even wait to finish the video to give a thumbs up. I saw the snow, wind, trees and knew it was going to be good!
Thank you for being such a loving forever Dad to Daisy, Jason! So many critter owners don't get that.
As always, I so enjoy living my outdoor life through you. Makes me smile everytime I see Daisy, has to be such a wonderful companion to you. Stay safe my friend and I can't wait till the next video. God bless.

The weather looks dismal so an amazing attempt at camping!
The vintage snowman as camp light was a brilliant idea. 💡
Van, snow, campfire...living the dream my friend
The entrance for this video was extremely cool and very cinematic, it felt like I was watching a movie!

I was blown away by that opening scene and the music perfect as always Stunning
I ordered some of your Daisy coffee to give to a friend who also has a golden that name. Love seeing her along safe travels
I don't think Daisy appreciated that she had to share "her" bed with the snowman 0:35, lol. Love Daisy in her new warm flannel jacket - stylish. 😊🐶💖
You saved my night shift. Thanks man! Greetings from Germany.
Van is looking awesome this winter 👍
Looks like a good trip. Thanks for the video.
I was going to say that snowman is as old as I am lol. Glad you and daisy are doing well
Beautiful there. We had tornados here in West Tennessee. Thanks for the videos!! Safe travels !!
Love your videos Jason. Hopefully, we will cross paths one day.
You are gifted at photography Jason. Love your videos!
Thanks, nicely done. The Quietness of snow through pines. Snowman looked like he was happy to be along!
Setting up Snowman in camp was completely ridiculous. I love it! I share a lot of nostalgia as well for old decorations with that aesthetic. Those happy memories of childhood Christmases are the best.
Your van and campsites always look so cosy !
The snowman was great but Daisy in her new plaid jacket was and still is the star! Marry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
What a winter wonderland.Bringing frosty the snowman was cool
I really love your van setup inside looks way so much better and roomy and more storages areas for you thumbs up daisy so cute such a good dog 🐕
Nothing like some one on one time with your dog, in the woods, in a beautiful snow storm! Like Daisy's new coat...and Mr. Snowman was a nice touch!
Thanks for the video. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get "outside" for about a year now. Videos like yours have helped me keep some semblance of sanity during that time.
Nice spot and another great video, Daisy looks good with her new jacket. Love the snowman. No snow in Vermont yet. Take care, Al
always look forward to these videos. great stuff
I absolutely love the way you have dialed in your van. Fridge, basket storage, water spout, dish storage, ladder, rooftop, wood slats on walls and ceiling, and so on. Nice job!
Wild and woolly! Hat’s off to Mr. Snowman. Worcestershire on my breakfast scramble!!
Green Tabasco is also a favorite of mine. Daisy looks nice and warm with her new Jacket !
Your videos give so much positive vibes ❤
Beautiful country and so serine and peaceful thank you for bringing us along with Daisy and you.
Way to get out there Jason! Nice video once again. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄.
My wife loves the videos with Daisy!
Daisy is so blessed! Wish I could live her life.
loved the snowman, especially since you had it since childhood. your breakfast scramble looked good. i like ketchup on mine. really enjoy your winter videos. Daisy is so cute. take care and stay safe.
So cool you've had that snowman so long. Blessings!
Loved this video! Even with the cold conditions you kept everyone warm!
Hey Jason , hold on and bundle up !!
The winter van life makes me want to get out and do it myself! Thankyou for all your great videos!
One of your finest videos Beautifully filmed Music was awesome and Snowman ☃️ was the star of the show! Thank you again for sharing your adventures with us!
Daisy with the hoodie made the video for me, great work Jason!
Great video. I use a couple tarps on the side's of my awning to help trap the heat during the winter here in colorado. It really helps.
Awesome video Jason. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Liked seeing Daisy with You! She is the star of the show you know. Would like to see a "walk around" of the inside of your van. Looks like it's almost settled down now. Simple and very functional is a hard space to get to. Thank you for another good video.
Looks like a nice lil back country adventure. Keep up the great videos
So nice and relaxing Jason. Thanks for taking us along. I’m a chalula fan for breakfast. Have a great weekend.
coming back into 40degC heat here for Summer, and just Live for your snow vids, this was a great one! thanks!!!
LOL you're so adorable, I'm loving the snowman. 😀😀😀
Really loving your videos Jason!!

Great video, love the snow. We are hopping to get up to the Scottish Highlands in the new year. Good to see your dog keeping warm in the snow. 🇬🇧
My Son has to watch a "campfire" video before bed every night! Thank you for make such good clean content that my 2 year old and I watch together!
You're going to try pico de gallo or salsa. I like either one of those with what you got. 🍷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃
After a long work week, I needed this! Have a wonderful holiday season. Cheers, JJ
What a nice relaxing episode! Thanks for taking us a long period
Frosty was a nice touch. Merry Christmas to y’all. R
Your videos always satisfy, and the drone shots add so much to the sense of place. Wow. Thanks Jason. Would love to see how you drive,fly, video and all in a blizzard simultaneously. Man of many talents.
Looks like a great overnight trip Jason love Daisies new jacket!
Great video , awesome views . Daisy is adorable 🥰!
Really digging the road trip series and this type of video. Overlanding stuff is my favorite. Thanks.
I find your videos very therapeutic. Thanks for inspiring us to get outside. Merry Christmas ☃️
Snowman is a great touch.
Great video I would love to camp in snow like that unfortunately in South Carolina we don’t have any
I love that snowman ⛄ Reminds me of my childhood and the Christmas decorations we had back. then.
Great area lighting courtesy of the snowman!👍
I JUST put an awning on my rig and I like how you tie the guys back to the truck. Won't pull out in a wind. I haven't even opened mine out yet - I will have to try that.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful scenery this time of year! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Great video!! Love Mr Snowman! Thanks Jason!
Great stuff as usual my friend! Cheers!
My wife is loving Daisy's new winter coat..
The little pup in in the Buffalo check sweater is cute ❤️🐾😘
One of my favorite areas! Can't believe the Jack Lake appears frozen already.
Awesome video Jason. I enjoy watching your videos and have actually purchased some of the items you use such as Pendleton Whiskey, and the folding fire pit. Keep posting these videos because we all enjoy them.
That vintage snow man is awesome I think we had the same one growing up!
Some of my favorites of your videos are out in the snow and this one doesn’t disappoint, really enjoyed this one, thanks!
Great video Jason. Love seeing what you and Daisy are doing. I think you make the best “Winter” video’s on KZread. Thank You for reminding me to get another bottle of Pendleton.
Seeing the snow camping is amazing! I can’t wait to see what you do this season.
I love it. Totally awesome. I live in Arizona but we have property in Central Oregon.
Love the snowman touch. It gave the animals a Christmas night! You also have some natural snow covered Christmas trees around camp. Sour cream makes a good sauce. It breaks down into a liquid when heated or you can add a little milk if need be. It also keeps well if you don't use it all at once. Good on other stuff too like eggs and potatoes.
Love Mr. Snowman. 👍
The second time I left to live in my little trailer in the desert a few years ago was right before Christmas and I took a snowman with me as well. I have a pretty cool pic that just popped up on my Facebook memories when I was in St George camped in some beautiful red rock and had my snowman out for that pic. Great video as always! Wishing you, Meagan and sweet Daisy happy holidays.
we had the same snowman decoration when I was a child also! brings back memory's. not sure what ever happened to it. great videos!

It was fun to get him out, I have had him for so long I need to make this a yearly tradition.
Watching winter outdoor videos while it’s summer here in Australia are so refreshing! 🥶 👍👍
Great video
Your videos are inspiring, just moved up to Washington so looking forward to getting out and doing some winter camping.
I love it when you're not rushed, your visual art shines! Nice shot of the mountains from way up! Take care...
Beautiful winter shots. Good to see Daisy.

It is so nice to see you looking after your dog ,and keeping him warm ,, His coat is nice now get him boots !! poor paws get so cold
Daisy is such a sweet girl. She is very precious. I knew it wouldn't be long before that Pendleton bottle came out. I used to drink Pendleton, but it started to seem like it was tied to everything I did, so I gave it up. Nice video. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Scenery was beautiful....
Great episode! Really glad that you’re not hesitant to camp in the snow. And, that snow and wind was really strong. You’ve really got your camping game dialed in. Daisy’s new jacket is pretty sweet, and Frosty The Snow Man provided a mellow, even illumination. Way To Go
What a beautiful video! Excellent footage and nostalgic snowman hope you and yours have a merry Christmas Jason!
nothing like starting the day off with a relaxing video from Primal Outdoors. Love it!
love the snowman
🤍 ❄️ ☃️ 💙 Your overland adventures are amazing!!
Hilarious camping buddy! ⛄ I have my parents' Christmas tree-top star from the 50's! Love me a winter camp. Seasons Greetings to you, Meghan and Daisy. 👍🇨🇦🧦🎁🎅🐾🔥
