Dude....I have a 2001 CRV RD1 with a few mods and a mini camper build. I have been overlanding in this rig for 5 years all over the Northwest and these little 1st Gen CRVs will get you in and get you out of the knarliest backcountry treks with ease.....Thanks for showing that you don't need a fancy expensive 4×4 to do these remote routes in the wilderness.....Honda, living the dream 👈💯🌎😎
Overlanding is so much fun it you have the possibility to do it. It doesnt even have to be big rigs fully equipped for a zombie apocalypse. I do it in a 05 Jimny with a rooftent and some dry food and water. Great job on the video!
Hey thanks for checking out my video! I agree that the hobby can be enjoyed without an expensive rig that’s way over gross weight with gear and accessories. Generally this thing has always got me where I have wanted to go.
Great job getting out there with what you have! Folks spend a lot of time wishing for the perfect vehicle instead getting out and seeing what they can do with what they have. We're planning to head out to the WABDR next week and it's forecast to be over 100 degrees. What a difference a month can make!
Thanks for the support! The first time I went we did the whole route and it was around 100° it was a whole different experience. We had to be considerate of engine temperatures and couldn’t run the ac on the big climbs. Hopefully you are bringing some shade with you. Hope you have a safe trip.
It was in June this year i made it up to a pretty high and remote forest area where im surprised my 2wd truck on AT's stock got me to. And it was totally unplanned going there, against my bad judgement and after trying to sleep up there in the cold inside my pickup at day break i continued further where snow was even deeper. I had already gone through 10 inches of snow patches when i took a turn off the road down a shaded trail/road which no one had driven yet (no snow tracks besides ATV) because instead of turning around and leaving when snow became two feet or higher, i just back tracked to this side rd/trail and attempted that. I got stuck n used a stick to start digging myself out, one tire/side was on thick ice the other in packed down snow. As deep as to the gas tank and suspension parts. I used rock for traction i had only one wheel spinning at times, when my tire would grab i'd go over the rock and it would break the rock, bam still stuck. I'd run up the road lookin for more rock. As where i was being shaded even the rock was frozen to the ground and not many there. I even attempted pushing my truck while in neutral. I didn't see anyone for twenty four hours, i was alone. After moving along slowly and being gentle on the throttle i could get a little traction i had been burning rubber on ice and the rocks. After i got out of the patch of snow and had used the rock to break the ice under the truck i thought of an area below to turn around scanning it as i knew if u descended further i could not make it on that trail that was just opened after winter. I had to pull to the right side and yank a hard left up the side of the hill to be able to turn around on this narrow trail. So i did what i never imagined doing and it worked to give me space backing up n doing a 3-4 pt turn. I had been stuck around 5 hrs hands a lil bloody when i had not worn my mittens which got trashed. Little food and water. Learn to know when to turn around. I went out again yesterday to a Mesa i had been to once before and i took my recovery boards and shovel. And portable tire pressure thing. On the way down my truck drifted in the gravel but i corrected it, was a lil too much speed gotta shift down. I'm going to make a big list of items to get and bring. And someday get a better adventure rig. My journey starts out at over 7k elevation and ends up somewhere in the 8-9k elevation usually. But i love it up there, where you are on top of the world.
Adventure requires some risk but it sounds like you found yourself in a dangerous situation. Glad you made it out of there. Each trip is an opportunity to learn valuable lessons. If someone was to ask me what the most important thing for vehicle travel where it’s too far to walk back is to have plenty of food and water for an extra few days and to stay with your car. At least your vehicle will provide shelter. Thanks for sharing your story.
This is precisely the kind of video I was looking for. Anytime I saw the other overlanding vehicles doing this whole trail it seemed extremely easy and they seemed to make a big deal out of the washout. I plan on doing the whole thing with a stock S10 with good tires, a winch and some recovery points.
Thanks for the kind comment. It wasnt too crazy for us but I could see why people stress out about it. There have been a lot of rollovers there but we were lower clearance so not nearly as tippy. How did your trip there go?
@@LoganJohnsonWA Haven't Gone yet but its been planned for awhile with a friend of mine. gotta get the trucks finished then find time to get out there.
Years ago I was considering buying an old reliable Honda CRV with AWD and building it up to be an off-roader. Never did get around to actually doing it, so I am happy to see here that someone else did 😊
@@ehsan1979 all wheel drive. I have the newest upgraded diff. Doesn’t really make enough to power to spin the rear wheels when they have traction. It’s more of just a push from the rear. Also only one wheel spins in the front and rear at a time so I have a 50% chance of getting it in the video. Thanks for watching!
Hi! I have old man emu lift springs that are about 1.5” taller than stock. 235/75 tires right now but I think I’m going to go down a size for better power. Thanks for watching.
Relatively no compared to other cars. Honda sold half a million of these cars so used parts are available and some factory parts are still being sold. Thanks for watching!

I love that you got to get out to do this. I love the simple, small daily driver, yet very capable suv without all the expensive rigging.
Thank you! We have a great time and it’s having a car that’s paid for an relatively inexpensive to upkeep.
@@LoganJohnsonWA do u have your rear differential fluid changed often?

Glad to see other RD1's in Washington.
We are out here!

Dang now that looked like an epic trip! Also cool to see your new RD1 put through its paces. Good stuff!
Thank you! It was a great time. Excited for the next adventure
Favorite car I've had so far...awd, all terrain tires, full exhaust with PLM header. More fun than going fast, I'm getting old lol
PLM header is next for me. Being slow keeps me from getting tickets for sure.

Out here doing the lords work. Thank you for watching!
Awesome trip!
Thank you!
Love this! 😊
Thank you!
is yours fwd or awd? why doesn't rear wheel spin at all? maybe your rear diff clutch is slipping?
