Good vids and quality i ve lived 15 mins from here my entire life and never knew it now I go here at least twice a month. These are the most stellar views and very simple ride and easy to get too. There are many walking trails too I find new things every time I go.
Yeah the place is really great. I regret only shooting enough footage for a 12 minute video. I honestly feel like that I didn't do the place justice. Perhaps I'll return at some point and do a new video! Thanks for watching!
Love the video. I subbed! Thinking about riding it this Saturday when I'm in Banner Elk for a gig. About how much time should I allow for Old 105 for traveling it & with stopping a time or two for drone footage? Also, what FPS did you film with your drone for those cinematic shots? awesome stuff boss man! keep at it!
Thanks for the kind words! I would plan for maybe about 2 hours or so, if you're going to stop and film stuff. I shoot all of my drone stuff at 60fps, but my videos are done at 30. I shoot at 60 so it gives me the flexibility to slow shots down a little if I want to. This video was done a while ago. I think I've gotten a little better since then, but who knows? Check out some of my newer videos and tell me what you think!
@@DefiantOffroad Aw thank you for getting back to me so quickly!! Awesome. Well, with any luck, I'll have me an Old NC-105 video up soon! Thank you for the insight!
Great video! I really love that your videos are straight-forward and that you're not trying to convince viewers to buy a bunch of crap that they don't need. Too many "influencers" out there making videos that are little more than product marketing showcases. I'm glad to see that some people still make videos with substance.
@@DefiantOffroad Oh yeah, I get it. All that trail time gets expensive! While I'm at it, thanks for not forcing me to sub to a patreon page just to tell me where the trail is!
Thanks for finding you way here! I love watching overlanding videos, but I'll likely never set out on those kind of adventures. Maybe after I retire I'll have the time, but for now I'll have to be content to be a weekend warrior ! :)
Doing it in winter allows you to see farther but fall would be beautiful. I did live in NC for a year and didn't know about this 😞 My Uncle Sam even provided camping gear but the Mustang I had then wouldn't have been ideal. I'll need to do this with the LR4 😀
I have a 2013 jeep wrangler sport with the soft top and the V6 6speed trans . I'm doing some upgrades to my jeep as I can do. I'm going to get me a set of 285 70 16 AT tires and a winch for it . Would I be able to do this jeep trip with my jeep wrangler sport.
I didn't air down, and it's totally not necessary there. However, it is a bumpy ride so airing down for comfort probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Generally if I air down for comfort, I only go down to about 25-27PSI ( I normally run 40 on the road)

I'm on the Tennessee side but right in the back yard of Tennessee and North Carolina and I love the mtns and hillsides. Have lived here all my life
Awesome! It's great country out there!! Thanks for commenting!

Thanks, I enjoyed watching!
I'm glad you did! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Great video! Our camping spots easy to find along this road ? Simple pull off spots on the side of the road or are there some a smidge off the road?
Thanks! I think that I probably should have shot a bit more footage though. The campsites are pretty much all right along the trail.

Thanks for that! I certainly don't have any issue with a channel utilizing sponsors to help fund their escapades, but I totally get what you mean.

Don't get me started on that one!
Cool video and thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you!!
Great video! Looks amazing out there. I hope to make it down there next year.
It's worth it!!
Glad to have found your channel! I like how it focuses more on the trail and the place, I love the content! I'll be following along ❤️

Beautiful route! Nicely done on the editing!
Thank you so much! Editing is a process, and one that I'm constantly trying to get better at. My older videos are...cringeworthy.
@@DefiantOffroad I know what you mean ha ha. My older ones are too!
The views are almost as beautiful as you.
awww
I've been up that road when you could do it in a Prius and when you had to have 4wd
Other than a few spots you almost could still do it in a Prius!
@@DefiantOffroad About 25 yrs ago it was fun
how is it going?~ splendid .see oyu later-📹
Thanks!
Looks beautiful but COLD
It wasn't that bad that day. I'm sure it gets out right frigid there though at night
Doing it in winter allows you to see farther but fall would be beautiful.

Hi! Was just wondering what lift/ wheel/ tire combo you're running? I'm looking into buying another JK and absolutely love the way yours looks.
Hi! I'm running the AEV 2.5" Dual Sport Suspension. Tires are General Grabber X3 295/70/17 on ProComp series 51 steel wheels.
I have a 2013 jeep wrangler sport with the soft top and the V6 6speed trans . I'm doing some upgrades to my jeep as I can do. I'm going to get me a set of 285 70 16 AT tires and a winch for it . Would I be able to do this jeep trip with my jeep wrangler sport.
Absolutely. It's a very basic trail!
Great video, wife and I are going up there this weekend for her first light offroad trip. Did you air down and if so what pressures?
I didn't air down, and it's totally not necessary there. However, it is a bumpy ride so airing down for comfort probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Generally if I air down for comfort, I only go down to about 25-27PSI ( I normally run 40 on the road)
I run 35 on road for my tacoma on toyo open country MT 285/70/17. Think 20 is safe there or go 25? I am on a 3 inch lift on kings and old man emu
Either will be fine. It's more or less just a glorified dirt road that gets bumpy.
Haha ty brother! Going to take my drone with me!
@@CavCat It's one of the best places for getting drone footage
How long of a trail is this in respect to time and distance? Look's like a good time
It's about 14 miles long. If you don't stop to film every few minutes like I did, it'll probably take about 2.5 hours to complete.
