Kayaking with Orcas South Puget Sound WA State
Overnight kayak trip in the South Puget Sound turns into an amazing Orca encounter! 3-4 Killer whales are feeding and frolicking with many tail slaps and breaching in Case Inlet near Heron Island. All from the cockpit of my Epic 18X Sport Kayak. I visit McMicken Island, cook a meal on the beach, and paddle alongside a sealion on the way back to Boston Harbor. Oyster and Geo duck operations are witnessed along the shore of Harstine Island.

Excellent video, Jason! Especially your steady footage of the Orcas while riding their wakes. So cool! 😊 P.S. I'm envious of your P bottle and your ability to go-on- the-go in your boat. Guys rule in that dept. 😜 Thanks for sharing another great trip. Keep 'em coming. 😊
Thanks! One of those grand 🙌 days outdoors!
Cool tent
Come test it out with me
I wanted to share that this is the T137 Family of Transient Killer Whales . T137 Loon (Matriarch)T137A Jack (Big Male) T137B Tempest (female) and T137D Wright (Female) 🥰 I was on the water that day too!! Great video
Excellent thanks for the info!
Here is the amazon link to the tent light a.co/d/0c7bt5kl
4k full length video coming soon!
It’s live on my channel
What are the Yakima towers you used on the factory rack? I just bought some gutter towers and artificial gutters but if I can avoid drilling into the fiberglass I’d prefer to do that
I found a used Yakima showboat roller setup with round bar clamps that attached to my existing Sunrader rails. I did have to beef up the Sunrader rack, I slid inside galvanized piping to stop them bending.
Since the wilderness roof is double walled fiber glass how did you get the roof racks on
Drilled and Bolted through with stainless bolts, used butyl tape to seal, no leaks so far. Cut bolts and duct taped over nuts so mattress would not snag
Use it now and over time fix it up, that’s what I did
I just bought a 1989 Toyota dolphin RV the beginning of April 24. It’s not four-wheel-drive of course it was redone in 2006 and so was the engine. I love the big windows in them and the bathroom. I’m going to change a few things initially. I wanted it to be more or less off grid. Then overtime, I’m going have other things done. But I love it. I paid 7000. I plan on putting a little bit of money into it over time. It’s a lot of money for it. It has been beautifully redone. It would cost me a fortune cause I couldn’t do it myself.
Hello what is that 2 battery housing called? Where can i find one 😭 omg pleass help
It was factory made the fibreglass box. I used a marine “blue seas” magnetic type batter combiner/isolater and charging via solar or altenator. You can isolate one battery just for engine while remote or use both if your crank battery fails 👍 Awesome system.
@@pnwxplored im gonna try to replicate your work with fiberglass, or harden plastic molding. Thank you. You know if you made a few ill buy, many of us will.
Got the skills just not the time. Give it a go, mock up with cardboard then glass over it 👍
@@pnwxplored i still cant get over how stock and good you made it look. Also you re routed the reservoir for the windshield wiper. Bro i thought you bought that somewhere
I just picked up a wildernest i think im missing the ridge poles to support the tent could you send me some measurements or pictures of what they look like
No ring, but eels lurking in the dark water. Glowing blue eyes.
Watching this dreaming about having my oz-made wildernest set up. How do you reckon you'd go living out of this for a year?
Outdoor beer tap. 100 K is nothing to some people who want the best.
Lots of people up there for no snow!!! Thanks for sharing. I took my bike up section 3 last weekend to break it in. Sad snow pack this early season
@@pnwxplored hahahaha, makes sense. I've been excited for snow. This just makes the wait worse hahahahaha
@@pnwxplored dang, enjoy it cuz there's none here
what company did you go with to remake your tent? I recently purchased a wildernest and the canvas is trashed unfortunately.
The previous owner got it remade 11 years ago at the still existing Canvas Replacements company for $899. I have receipt. Around 2 grand now I tbelieve and you have to send in your old one and wait for it to be remade.
Promo-SM 💖
Great build - organized.
Looks to Me like a Labor of Love. So Clean, So Profesional, So, So.... 80k? Today? Yes Please.!!!
80 k ...... hhh stb
Going in and out of accent nice trick mate 80 grand what have you been smoking
sold for 65 grand! building out a 95 tacoma with a wood stove and retro 80's Wildernest tent now. Will add gull wing cab doors where windows are and delete the rear seat and build out all for storage. Follow along for that build out mate!
What did it sell for?
$65k was in a bit of a hurry as I found an 18 Ram 3500 with only 24k miles for hauling our 21 toy hauler with our motorcycles ebikes and kayaks. Follow along im also building out a 95 Tacoma right now too with 80’s Wildernest tent
@@pnwxplored I bought a 89 Toyota dolphin 4-6-24. Been looking for something for three years.
@@burly63680s rigs are the way to go! Super reliable and easy/fun to work on. Enjoy it
Well done! We're heading out this weekend. Thanks for blazing the way for us. 🙂
Any time mate enjoy the area!
Wow! This camper is awesome!!!
Thanks! If your into toyota builds subscribe Im currently working on a 95 Tacoma with 80s retro Wildernest tent, wood stove and slide out fridge!
@@pnwxplored Subed! I checked your IG profile. Haha you have a very cool T-shirt with a pocket for a beercan xDDD Very cool. Cheers from Ukraine! God Bless the U.S.A.
@@andrewsneacker1256 stay safe brother the world is on your side!
@@pnwxplored Thank you!
I'd like to get one of these - are there any local retailers that carry them?
are you in Seattle? I went up there to Mountain to Sound Outfitters - Id recommend them. If in Portland I bet Alder Creek Kayak can order one for you, they are great too!
Such an amazing build.
Thanks! Put a lot of hard work in her. Now building out my 95 Tacoma, with 80’s Wildernest Tent with wood stove and slide out fridge, consider subscribing, watch my Ghost Forest video I have a walk thru
The camp site was amazing, and that old tree just laying there after all this time. Just incredible. And now, I'm also hungry after watching you cook that food. 😂Thanks for bringing us along! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it. Just fat tire ebiked the tressels in Kelowna BC! and sampled the wineries, will edit that footage soon 👍
Hope Island is s beautiful place. Thx for sharing.
Let’s plan a kayak camping trip
Halo Bos, boleh liat disainya gak bos,
Fuck sake. Never figured out what the straps were on the ends of the mattress. I've had that pole get bound up when opening before. Any chance you have weighed your rig. I have an 04 and the weight is beginning to kill it.
It stands 848 ft tall, takes under an hour to hike up with super gergous views on multiple sides. It used to be called Castle Rock for awhile but the Biddle Family who bought it for 1 dollar restored the original Lewis and Clark name Beacon Rock.
Those were some gorgeous views! Did it say how high the top of the summit was? Nice video by the way.😊
848’ tall
Would you hike this? Amazing views 848 feet above the Columbia River
I like it just wish you could get he camper on a new toyota truck
I know! A lot of work to buy an 80’s and transfer it to a new taco! It can be done. For now Im enjoying my 95 taco with a wildernest tent also retro from the 80’s, check that vid out. Next vid im editing is a Sunrader trip to Beacon Rock State Park. A hike to the top of the rock and some Sup drone shots too form the river
thought you sold the sunrader?
Been there for sure! ❤
I love this rig and the fine Kiwi accent. 😊
thanks Tracy! hit the subscribe button and you can see plenty more
Video edits of two seperate trips into this lake, one was just an ebike recon and the second trip in we bought along SUPS and paddled the lake. Both trips we had the lake to our selves.
Awesome vid
Never mind I found where u said it sold , congrats
It’s nice , did you ever sell it ? No way I could pay what you are asking just curious
I like the way it looks
Thanks. I put a lot of work into her. New owner loves it and it was a big hit at our recent PNW Overland event!
I had one of these w/turbo new.. awesome campers!!
Love the Wildernest!
Lookin good! I recently got a Wildernest for my 04 Tacoma and am building it out down here in Oregon. What kind of awning do you have and how did you attach it? What kind of mount are the MaxTrax on? Thanks.
I custom made my max tracks mounts with simple aluminum L brackets to attach to shell. I purchased the max trax mount kit too. Rear Rhino Rack Dome awning just fits! I cook off rear tail gate and fridge skids out so wanted a rear awning. Also wanted it to handle some snow load too.
@@pnwxplored How did you attach the L brackets to the shell? Drill through the fiberglass and bolt on?
@@lizardraven yes! And used butyl tape to waterproof
@@pnwxplored Thanks! did you use brackets to attach the awning off the back?
Snowmobile All day long Bud
Im in the mid Atlantic and looking to buy a wildernest for an 01 tacoma if anyone is selling. Willing to travel a reasonable distance of 5 hours or so either direction
Could anyone possibly point me in the direction of some of the accessories for these? Such as the tailgate curtain, the carpet kit, or the kitchen/laundry organizer? I just picked one up and fir some reason the previous owner(s) removed everything and didn't include it in their sales. TIA!
Jump on the facebook wildernest adventure group sometimes some items go up for sale. I just picked up a Cabelas camp cot organiser will be handy for wall storage. Im fixing up my Tacoma rear seat area for storage, follow along subscribe for that seat delete and build Im filming right now 👍
I’m surprised they only wanted 80k, I expected him to ask for 1 million USD 🙄
sold for 65k
You have a really nice setup!!
Thanks! Right now Im adding a wildland fire shovel and making custom aluminium bracket mounts 👍
