Sorry this video is all over the place. I wasn't able to really focus in on filming and just shot what I could. It isn't as well put together but I hope you enjoy anyway!
Bowman & Sawmill are absolute beautiful! And beautiful places doesn't go unnoticed. We were there in the middle of the week and basically every spots was taken. We drove all the way into Sawmill but didn't find a good spot so we turned back to a spot we found prior at Bowman Lake. This spot wasn't ideal for my liking but it was still enjoyable nonetheless. It was right by the water which makes it easy to drop our kayaks in. The water in bowman was quite cold however so we quickly moved to the next spot after floating around. Getting to Sawmill is much rougher. The trails are rocky and high clearance is recommended. We ended up at a spot that was taken the prior day and we could not be happier. The spot was hidden, perfect to swim in, perfect to kayak, best view and quiet. The water at Sawmill was warmer and a lot more swim-able.

Thanks!
This is my favorite overlanding YT channel, hands down
Aw thank you!
Damn, nice weather too.. always rolling on a great day!! Keep it up!!
I know!! I’m so lucky
Love your rig!! Really appreciate the way you shoot the videos, feels like we’ve joined you on trip.
thank you so much!
Good times man! Wish I had scenery like this closer to home. Sick video as well 🤙
Thanks!!
Awesome vid, man! Love your work. 👊🏾
Thank you!
Solid rigs!
Thanks!
I know it's tempting, but you should keep to the beaten paths and campgrounds with your vehicles. It's not too cool to drive off the beaten paths, or into the lake. The idea is to leave as small a footprint as possible, so others can enjoy nature and not a new 4x4 track on the beach.
Basic trail etiquette. Tread Lightly:
Stay on marked trails, don’t drive over vegetation, cross streams only at designated fording points where the trail crosses the stream, drive over (not around) obstacles to avoid widening the trail, and respect all signage and barriers.
Dope video, otherwise :)
That portion of the lake is commonly used as a water crossing, hundreds of not thousands of vehicles cross it yearly. So he was not off the beaten path. Just an FYI 😁
😂😂😂😂 nerd
Great, just subbed and started planning a trip here. We are out in North Cal, traveling till next August. Keep the ideas coming 👊🏿
Thanks! Safe travels!
I love Bowman Lake. Only been once as part of a trail run with @4loscompas and about 30 other rigs. Was where you guys camped on the other side of Bowman or was that Sawmill Lake. Can't wait to return.
First one was bowman 2nd one is sawmill
Bro, awesome video as usual!
Thanks!
Awesome video! I’m hoping to get up to Bowman next week for my Dads bday. Can I ask, if you had the choice between a Subaru forester with AWD and normal clearance, OR a Ford F-150 with RWD (but better clearance obviously)? Thank you for posting!
you'll be better off with the f150 but you might need to bump it in some places. the Subaru will also make it but roughh
Great video
Always!
Great video, I've been camping in this areas since the early 90's, it is much more crowded these days. Maybe you can not label exactly where you are going and have other find their own adventures.
Not the gate keeper 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dannymorn5448 You should be, this place is blown out now because of the internet.
Did you come in from Jackson Meadows or from the west end of the lake? Trying to gauge the road between Bowman and Jackson Meadows.
Came from west end
Greetings , did you have to air down tires ? And do you need a 4x4 rig ? Respect
I always air down if i expect to spend more than 30 mins on dirt. 4wd is not needed but clearance is needed
@@wheeltogetouttherehow far do you typically air down to
@@Tripp216 with my setup I typically go 17
Nice video. What camera are you using?
Somy a7iii, FX3, dji action
Sorry for the dumb question, but is that kdss or a sway bar in the rear?
It’s the kdss sway bar
