I feel when you stand on the edge of a gorge or canyon, you realise how insignificant it makes you feel in the grand scheme of things. Aren't we lucky to live on such an amazing planet.
As a birder, I appreciate you keeping the authentic bird audio in the videos! It really puts me there in Eastern Oregon and brings the footage to life.
Glad I found your channel. I’m loving it! I enjoy Overlanding over most of Nevada (my native state) and California. Your right, there’s nothing better than the smell of desert sagebrush. Except desert sagebrush after a summer thunderstorm. My wife goes out with me occasionally, but not nearly as often as I’d like, so I’m usually running solo. Being retired (Firefighter) gives me a lot of time to do it. It’s a small world, It would be great to run into you out there.
The opening was wonderful - I got it. Some people would say “there’s nothing there.” On the contrary, when you can see that far you start to see inside yourself. Wow, and I haven’t had any coffee, yet.
Those cliffs and rock formations were incredible. I never tire of just how stunning this planet is. I had to laugh as you filmed some of the stuff you do to keep entertained while traveling solo. I have often found myself doing similar things.
Thanks Jared, I absolutely loved all the interesting geology I encountered on this trip, and there's more to come. Wish I didn't have to drive so far to get into this kind of scenery!
Oh wow! You’ve set the bar higher once again! Absolutely the best yet! You really captured the beauty of my side of the mountains here in Oregon! The ambient sounds were incredible! I swear I was camped right next to you on this trip! Thank you so much!
Thanks Dan, it was a pleasure to be out filming this. The audio captures don't always work out, but when they do, I've been trying to let them stand on their own with no music. I've definitely come to appreciate those moments. :-)
Cool video. I have been to Rome Station several times on my way to Boise. It’s a cool place. Awesome to sit there and have a cup of coffee or a breakfast burrito and enjoy the openness and quiet between cars passing by.
As often as possible, I capture and share the quiet and the natural sounds. The audio is not always all that pleasant to listen to, especially while driving, which is far from quiet and natural. You will notice that most of the time I incorporate music, it is during driving segments when I don't have good audio to share. Drone footage has no audio at all (all you would hear is the motors whirring if the drone had a mic). I do use music at other times when it helps to capture & convey my mood/feelings/impressions of the moment. Personally, I enjoy other people's videos with well-curated soundtracks, and I specifically enjoy the process of incorporating music in my own productions. It's not like I'm randomly slapping some completely irrelevant hip-hop track in the background across the entire video. Considerable thought and work goes into the soundtrack. You're of course welcome to your opinion. :-) I would suggest not watching any of my other videos, you will just be disappointed. They *all* incorporate music as an element of the storytelling, and will continue to do so into the future.
Another Saturday afternoon and an amazing breathtaking outdoor video. The views from the air reminiscent of my racing days. I look forward to your videos all week.
This was great! Again, these desert videos are really giving us the itch to go out and explore that area. Jason growing up in Texas and myself growing up in a desert area of So Cal we’re both naturally drawn to these areas.
The externally mounted GoPro shots look sooo much better than the dash mounted shots! The 4k render looks very nice too! Beautiful video! Also, congratulations on the Jackery thing! They make great products. There are so many times that silent portable power will come in handy!
Thanks Matthew! Yeah, unfortunately a crucial piece of my GoPro mount progressively broke more and more over the course of this trip. I dared a few exterior shots now and then, but mostly kept it inside (or handheld out the window). I did have it fall off the car at one point, so I had to be extra cautious with mounting it outside. I don't like shooting through the windshield if it can be avoided. Impossible to keep it clean enough (especially with the bugs of summer) and it also slightly screws up the color balance, so I have to fight the color cast imparted by the windshield's coatings. I am now looking at incorporating some permanent, more reliable mounts in a few places outside. :-)
@@softroadingthewestOh, completely understandable! I bet you could put some nice permanent gopro mounts on you roof rack. RAM suction cup mounts don't work if the car is dirty, but I got a magnetic gopro mount from amazon a while ago that has proven to be very strong versatile. Can't wait for the next episode!
That was so good!!! Each of your videos gets better and better. So happy that you got Jackery sponsorship! I have the 500 too. Now just need Dometic sponsorship! Keep doing the good work!
Man oh man! I gotta hurry up and get me a rig so I can come up and explore Oregon! My old Trooper is on her last leg after going home to Colorado and traveling some of the backcountry passes. Thanks for the great videos!
Look at all these amazing open spaces and I have to appreciate how many times you probably jogged across sagebrush and scorpions to get all those epic shots of that Subaru driving by. You gotta learn to fly that drone and drive at the same time.
Haha, well, 3:22, 3:33, 11:30 ...all piloting and driving at the same time. :-) Ultimately it's actually easier to run past scorpions and rattlesnakes with the camera than muck around with setting up the drone, heh. :-) I need the exercise anyway, LOL.
Damn!!... i didnt want it to end haha. Great episodeDonald! it seems every video gets better and better, I appreciate all your hours and hours of hard work putting these videos together, and thank you so much for sharing all these amazing adventures with us! look forward to the next one.
Wait!! You didn’t check out the creepy old house?? Come on!!! Another awesome video! Every time you use your coffee grinder I keep waiting for herd to buffalo/bull to come running over! 🤣😂
Excellent videos man. I enjoy driving the backcountry with my Subaru as well. ‘06 Legacy Sedan with outback struts and 2” strut spacers. Keep up the amazing videos!
Very good episode! You should look into grabbing a copy of Gem Trails of Oregon if your looking for some interesting geologic detours where you could find some fascinating rocks and mines.
These were for sure some of the most stunning landscapes I've ever traveled, the entire trip. I was blown away day after day. I'm already eager to explore more of eastern Oregon.
I spent most of this spring out there fly fishing but it’s getting a bit hot now for my taste, although it is currently high 80s to low 90s for another week or two. When it hits the mid 90’s I head for higher elevations. Since you were in Rome I’m assuming that your on the Owyhee River south of the reservoir. I think I know where you’re headed, if so that’s where I spent most of the spring. If you’re willing to make the hike down to that river you keep showing there’s nice trout fishing. One afternoon I never had a fly sit on the surface more then 30 seconds, I’ve never caught so many trout in one afternoon. You better hurry with the next video, I don’t think I can wait, lol.
I'm not much of a fisherman...don't even have a license this year...but I keep meaning to set myself up with some basic fly fishing gear so I can possibly land a trout or two for dinner. I generally don't like to eat fish, but definitely enjoy pan-fried fresh caught trout! We're going to get a lot closer to that river in the next installment, and I won't be hiking. :-)
You’re “budget” yet super well done over landing is really inspiring, just finished setting up my own outback to hit the white mountains of New Hampshire next week!
🎶I’ve been through the desert on a road with no name🎶 I love your channel! You’re getting better and better. Keep it up, and thanks for bringing us in your adventures.
Wow, what gorgeous country! Unfortunately, we don't have large tracts of BLM land out here on the East Coast. What a pleasure it would be to drive and not see traffic all around you. I'll be looking forward to the rest of your adventure. Thanks, Don!
It is a pleasure for sure. We are really fortunate out here. And I've still barely scraped the surface of what's available just in Oregon, let alone the other western states which have similar and in some cases even larger percentages of public lands. It's mind boggling at times. :-) Thanks for watching!
Another outstanding episode. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating, your videography, your editing are all just top notch and keep getting better!
This trip has been particularly inspiring. I still feel like I haven't quite taken it to the next level I was hoping to attain with this series, but I'm glad to hear there may seem to be some improvements! :-)
Your breaks seem to do what mine do when I take my 2017 forester offroad. They suqeek lol. Get some break cleaner and try to spray between the rotor and the break pads. Spray the rotor all over and use the whole can on all 4 rotors. Then take it for a drive right after and use the breaks to clean the crap off the pads and rotors. Should go away or tone the squeeking a lot!
I know! I was really looking forward to meeting a few subscribers at Ed's event. I'm kicking around some options for some opportunities to meet and camp. Not sure when or where but I've been thinking about it...I'll get something pulled together eventually!
Horses are actually native to North America, this is where they evolved. The "native" Americans, which is to say the those who migrated to the Americas during the ice age, apparently hunted them to extinction around 10,000 years ago along with much other mega fauna. Fortunately, horses migrated the other direction across the Bering Land Bridge on their own and survived in the Central Asian grasslands. Awesome drive. Thanks for capturing it.
Right, the mustangs were in a way an inadvertent re-introduction of the species. They seem to flourish in this area. I don't know how many other wild horse populations there are across the U.S. It's so weird (and cool) to see something you've always seen as domestic livestock just out there living free with no one feeding it or shoeing it!
Great episode! That was really epic! Although I'm not sure I could've done that on my own. I'd be scared my car would have a mechanical problem. Oh and the making your daughter cringe part was epic too! 😜
I have yet to pressure down off road. You’ve probably covered this in some episode I’ve not seen, but kinda pump do you have to represure and do your rims have bead locks and what’s the lowest pressure you feel comfortable going to without bead locks? Or, just point me to the video. Great content! If you want I could probably help you with the geology and would like to trek with you if you want.
I use the Viair 88p compressor to air up. Going on three years now, still working great. No bead locks in the rims. The lowest I go is 12 psi, but only when driving on dunes & beaches. 18 psi as I did here is about the lowest I go when I have to do varied types of driving, including some occasional good gravel roads at higher speeds.
Well, you and a couple of others have got. my wife and I totally stoked for overloading adventures. The Owyhee country of southeastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho are some of the last wide-open spaces. Have spent some time there, but surely not enough! Can hardly wait to get there. Curious. How do you video with your drone while you're driving? Keep 'em coming. Much appreciated.
The DJI drones virtually fly themselves. Most have some kind of tracking capability. On remote roads by myself, I do sometimes pilot it manually with some simple motion while driving slowly, or just let it hover while I drive through the scene. It's much easier to fly than I imagined it would be.
You have such a calming voice you should narrate childrens audio books or do voice over for meditation music. Great video. Who is driving the subie when you are video taping, the cow?
2:15 JUMP START... your car? Can this be done the jackery? If not you may want to invest in a compact car jump starter battery pack. It would suck to be trapped in the middle of nowhere with a dead car battery. "Project Farm" does a great review on car battery jump starters.
No, the Jackery cannot provide that kind of power surge. I *should* have a jump pack, and I don't. I have watched the Project Farm video twice already, LOL. And then I end up spending the money on something else. I really should have one with me though, given how often I go solo.
I feel when you stand on the edge of a gorge or canyon, you realise how insignificant it makes you feel in the grand scheme of things. Aren't we lucky to live on such an amazing planet.
That's for sure!
As a birder, I appreciate you keeping the authentic bird audio in the videos! It really puts me there in Eastern Oregon and brings the footage to life.
First! Dude thank you so much for the mention.
So who wants to see this guy and I do a collab?
I’m totally ready to see a collaboration! Bring it on!
I do! Matt Cook would bring some class to this slipshod operation!
Glad I found your channel. I’m loving it! I enjoy Overlanding over most of Nevada (my native state) and California. Your right, there’s nothing better than the smell of desert sagebrush. Except desert sagebrush after a summer thunderstorm. My wife goes out with me occasionally, but not nearly as often as I’d like, so I’m usually running solo. Being retired (Firefighter) gives me a lot of time to do it. It’s a small world, It would be great to run into you out there.
love the ever present meadowlarks and the super clear skies of blue
The opening was wonderful - I got it. Some people would say “there’s nothing there.” On the contrary, when you can see that far you start to see inside yourself. Wow, and I haven’t had any coffee, yet.
I grew up in southern Oregon and love watching your vids...makes me homesick but also gives me a chance to see the Cascade areas again.
The quality of your videos and the improvements you’ve made on your shots and the composition definitely makes these videos more enjoyable.
Better than Saturday morning cartoons 😆
Yes for sure a nice bowl of cereal and watching softroadingthewest is the best way to wake up too.
ScoobyCamper for sure Scoobs!
Lol 🤣
I CANT WAIT! Totally gonna spend the rainy morning watching this haha
Wild horses, stunning canyon views...I'm envious to the core. The cinematography and production are getting beter and better. Congratulations!
Thank you!
Grand vistas. Very very cool. Beautiful cinema photography as always, Donald.
And yes, making our children cringe is the divine right of Dads.
LOL :-) Thanks Todd!
Those cliffs and rock formations were incredible. I never tire of just how stunning this planet is. I had to laugh as you filmed some of the stuff you do to keep entertained while traveling solo. I have often found myself doing similar things.

Haha! you got some moves Donald! Lucie should be proud!!! Great adventure as always!
We've done the fight scene, I think next time we meet up, we need to shoot a disco scene.
Thank you, thank you ,thank you I dream of doing this some day.
Was just down in the Hart Refuge area a few weeks ago... beautiful country
I've yet to wander through there but it's on my list for sure next time I get down that direction!
softroadingthewest recommend the hot springs there!
Oh wow! You’ve set the bar higher once again! Absolutely the best yet! You really captured the beauty of my side of the mountains here in Oregon! The ambient sounds were incredible! I swear I was camped right next to you on this trip! Thank you so much!
Thanks Dan, it was a pleasure to be out filming this. The audio captures don't always work out, but when they do, I've been trying to let them stand on their own with no music. I've definitely come to appreciate those moments. :-)
Your friends are the ones who missed out..lol. And the trails are pristine. Not all tore up like so many places.
Cool video. I have been to Rome Station several times on my way to Boise. It’s a cool place. Awesome to sit there and have a cup of coffee or a breakfast burrito and enjoy the openness and quiet between cars passing by.
Why do people always mess up nice videos by adding music to them? The beauty is the quiet and the natural sounds.
As often as possible, I capture and share the quiet and the natural sounds. The audio is not always all that pleasant to listen to, especially while driving, which is far from quiet and natural. You will notice that most of the time I incorporate music, it is during driving segments when I don't have good audio to share.

Great video & beautiful scenery as always Donald

J'adore la poésie de tes vidéos, Donald ;)
Can't wait for tomorrow 😆
Awesome trip. Love the guided softroad tours. Man is at his best when trying to entertain his children.
Got my reminder set. Can't wait for the vid Donald 🤘
Jackery makes a great product. Building up my 2004 crv and will definitely look into one of those big batteries
Charming beauty of nature.
Brilliant trip Donald.
Thanks for your efforts.
That looks so amazing! Another great video Donald!
Thanks! I was pretty blown away, definitely exceeded my expectations!
Wait!! You didn’t check out the creepy old house?? Come on!!!
Another awesome video! Every time you use your coffee grinder I keep waiting for herd to buffalo/bull to come running over! 🤣😂
Magnificent. Spectacular footage, great videography, and fantastic editing. 👏👏👍
Just so you know, I joined you with clapping and dancing.
Great video, man 👍
Haha, I will definitely tell Lucie! Thanks for watching (and for putting your hands together, LOL)
Best one yet! This one got me jacked, and ready to load the forester.
Beautiful scenery, as always awesome shooting and editing 👍
Look forward to your episodes each week! Looking forward to the next one!
Excellent videos man. I enjoy driving the backcountry with my Subaru as well. ‘06 Legacy Sedan with outback struts and 2” strut spacers. Keep up the amazing videos!
Great series Donald. Good to see you bust out the cowboy coffee with no issues this time. hahaha.
LOL...lessons learned... :-)
Beautiful videography and captivating story-telling Now I'm really homesick.
Thanks for the adventure really enjoy your channel will be looking forward for the next episode
I have a question about your rig, do you have a skid plate mounted on your car also how do you like the KO2 tires
This is my favorite of your videos. Spectacular job of capturing the scenery!
Very good episode! You should look into grabbing a copy of Gem Trails of Oregon if your looking for some interesting geologic detours where you could find some fascinating rocks and mines.
Nice tip...thank you!
Amazing vieww!
Can't wait for Part 3! Really want to see that river in action!
We're gonna see it up close and personal! ;-)
Just got back from the Pillars of Rome and other things in that area, I hope you made it down into the canyon in the next video.
Some of the most stunning landscapes I’ve seen you travel. Gives me an itch to get out and explore.
These were for sure some of the most stunning landscapes I've ever traveled, the entire trip. I was blown away day after day. I'm already eager to explore more of eastern Oregon.
How cool to be so close to those cows! I live for moments like that. So stoked on this mini series can't wait to see the next one :)
Love it !!Can't wait tell the next episode. Safe travels.
FREAKING FANTASTIC EPIC ADVENTURE!!! Love this content!
Nicely done as always!
Stunning! Excellent video and commentary. Reminds me a lot of the Red Desert in Wyoming which I just crossed by motorcycle a month ago.
I spent most of this spring out there fly fishing but it’s getting a bit hot now for my taste, although it is currently high 80s to low 90s for another week or two. When it hits the mid 90’s I head for higher elevations. Since you were in Rome I’m assuming that your on the Owyhee River south of the reservoir.

Beautiful rock formations! Reminds me of the Badlands of SD.
You’re “budget” yet super well done over landing is really inspiring, just finished setting up my own outback to hit the white mountains of New Hampshire next week!
wow those rock formations we have nothing like that here in australia
Great Adventures! Thanks for sharing!
Oregon is awesome heading up to the coast next week.
Epic scenery, I can’t wait for the next episode!
🎶I’ve been through the desert on a road with no name🎶 I love your channel! You’re getting better and better. Keep it up, and thanks for bringing us in your adventures.
LOL! Heck, we even had an actual horse with no name in this episode!
I see the Owyhee starts from a spring all the way in NE NV, above Elko.. didn’t know that till I looked at gaia. Great trek
Brilliant video! Nice editing!!
Woohoo can't wait!
That was top tier quality right there. The solo dance in the car segment got me 🤣
Wow, what gorgeous country! Unfortunately, we don't have large tracts of BLM land out here on the East Coast. What a pleasure it would be to drive and not see traffic all around you. I'll be looking forward to the rest of your adventure. Thanks, Don!
It is a pleasure for sure. We are really fortunate out here. And I've still barely scraped the surface of what's available just in Oregon, let alone the other western states which have similar and in some cases even larger percentages of public lands. It's mind boggling at times. :-) Thanks for watching!
Another outstanding episode. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating, your videography, your editing are all just top notch and keep getting better!

amazing intro mate, loved it!!! Cheers, Grant, (Australia)
Well done !
Love the Subaru content!
Ah perfect, live at 5pm in Europe, normally I see live videos like this at 2am *yawn* that's too early for me, or too late, haha. Can't wait!
Feeling the beat part was funny as heck 😁
Oregon in the House!
Your breaks seem to do what mine do when I take my 2017 forester offroad. They suqeek lol. Get some break cleaner and try to spray between the rotor and the break pads.

The squeaking brakes is a relatively recent development. Great tip, thank you!
Awesome stuff, Donald!!! I meant to meet you at Edward's meet-up, but dude I'd love to join you on one of these! Cheers!
I know! I was really looking forward to meeting a few subscribers at Ed's event. I'm kicking around some options for some opportunities to meet and camp. Not sure when or where but I've been thinking about it...I'll get something pulled together eventually!

I think we need a mid-week video part 3.
Great episode! That was really epic! Although I'm not sure I could've done that on my own. I'd be scared my car would have a mechanical problem. Oh and the making your daughter cringe part was epic too! 😜
Great adventure. Thanks for taking us all along. Your logo should have been going downhill at the end, no? 😉
LOL...that would've been brilliant!
Set my reminder!!! Can’t wait! 👏
18psi. Dang, you runn'n beadlockers on those k02s? Think you about to run into us in part 3.
No beadlockers. I actually take them all the way down to 12 psi on sand, no problem at all. And yes...you're coming up next! :-)
@@softroadingthewest Damn. I too fear''d for that low. ha
What amazing content Donald👌
Love the rock music 🤘
Haha, I almost dialed that segment back to a more mellow piece of music, but ultimately this was a better reflection of the mood of the moment! :-)
I have yet to pressure down off road. You’ve probably covered this in some episode I’ve not seen, but kinda pump do you have to represure and do your rims have bead locks and what’s the lowest pressure you feel comfortable going to without bead locks?

You have such a calming voice you should narrate childrens audio books or do voice over for meditation music. Great video.
Who is driving the subie when you are video taping, the cow?
Haha...filming is definitely a lot of work when I'm by myself!
It's good to hook up with friends but the best times I've had is exploring by myself
I'm ready too! Nice title!
"Everybody!"
Forced a laugh from this grumpy face. Nice.
Haha, ironically, when I do that it always forces a grumpy face onto my daughter, LOL. :-)
2:15 JUMP START... your car?
Can this be done the jackery?
If not you may want to invest in a compact car jump starter battery pack. It would suck to be trapped in the middle of nowhere with a dead car battery.
"Project Farm" does a great review on car battery jump starters.
No, the Jackery cannot provide that kind of power surge. I *should* have a jump pack, and I don't. I have watched the Project Farm video twice already, LOL. And then I end up spending the money on something else. I really should have one with me though, given how often I go solo.
