Failed Overland Route - Was it the Vans Fault - Owyhee 2020 - Pt 1

- Building upon our Overland Adventure from last year. Donald (Soft Roading the West) and I set out to improve upon the Overland route that takes through the majestic Owyhee Canyonlands in Oregon. Unfortunately, we failed to successfully reach our destination because the road was too eroded. Since the van is a full-sized vehicle, narrow dirt tracks are often an issue.

Your watching Primal Outdoors - Camping, Overlanding and Van Life. I am living the van life in my Ford E350 4x4 Van traveling around the remote public land system in Oregon.
The cow scene had me dead
Maybe it wasn't the van's fault THIS time, but these guys still have more days to go on this trip... 😂
Seriously though, this episode captured the day very well. Nice shots and edit as usual.
... and it nicely complements your video of that part of the trip filling in some blanks. It almost looks like you peeked over each other's shoulder when editing...😜

Always enjoyable to follow you on your journey! Thank you for sharing Jason!
I love the "failed" videos. They are a success. Just shows that even with the best made plans, there are still frustrations in the lifestyle, which, by the way, is part of the appeal of the lifestyle. Some of my favorite spots, became favorites, not because of their beauty and esthetics, but because of a lack of planning. I found a somewhat remote campground off Hwy140, crossing the Oregon/Nevada border, with a warm spring, called Virgin Valley Campground, that is now one of my favorite places to spend a couple of days while traveling in that area.
Best overlander van camper channel period.
Love having a coffee and watching your videos
Like I told Donald I could not tell you how many people I have known or bumped into that has tried to drive that road. It always ends the same way...
Thanks for the video! George.
needs a there be dragons here sign..
Definitely love this part of Oregon! It’s such a different type of country but it’s always gorgeous no matter the weather!
We laughed at the “trick” ending. The area seems awesome.
I was on the far end of that narrow bit, camping in the bottom lands, 5-6 years ago. We heard, then saw a guy on a BMW adventure bike come thru that “portal”. By the time he showed up in our camp he was pretty spooked, having nearly slid into the river a few times, walked it here and there, and by then basically running on fumes. Filled him up from our spare gas, shared his whiskey, all good. Nutty that that shows as a “road” on maps! I’ve only been across it on foot and on the fat tire bike…
What an adventure! Thanks for bringing us along!
Always love your camping/ outside adventures. Thanks for bringing us along brother
Great video Jason and crew..
Beautiful places
Looks like a great adventure! Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure! Glad you and the van made out of that sketchy area. But, as you know, you won’t know until you try and sometimes it really pays out so it’s certainly worth exploring. Cheers!
Really enjoy these videos. I love the drone footage, I can only imagine the awe the settlers felt when they first came into this area.
Mornin, having coffee & watchin y'all's video is a pleasure.Thanks. Brings memories of my adventures from the time I live in Oregon for 20+ year's. I remember taking my Volkswagen in late 90s on camping and hunting trips in Easter Oregon, it's the only car I had as a high school student. Great times.
What a beautiful scenery
Very peaceful
This was great! I'm glad I got to join you guys for this trip. I still have no idea where my shackle disappeared to though 😅
Very nice. Great mood.
Beautiful trip. Thanks for taking us along. An envious flatlander from Chgo.
Beautiful scenery, thank you for sharing your adventures…
Yes I’ve already saved those older videos, going to watch them next…
Really love your content, it’s honest and straightforward.
Safe travels
That 5 mile backing up has to be nerve racking. Cool video 👍🏼
Jason you're an honest good man. Just wanted to put this out there 🙏🏻 thank you for these amazing videos. Wish I could visit the beautiful US back roads one day but for now I salute you and the van from the far away deserts of Dubai 🏜️🐪 you got fans out here. Keep sharing the beautiful country roads of the gorgeous American continent with us. We really appreciate you 🙏🏻
Great video! Those off camber roads terrify me! Can't wait to see what's next.
Absolutly beautiful locations.
Another great adventure! Always enjoy them vicariously…..from my recliner! Thanks for sharing!
always enjoy watching your content
Yooo the music that You put under the video sound so good
Keep up the good work🔥🔥
Thanks for another excellent episode, Jason.
I appreciate all the work you put into making it smooth and beautiful.
We were out in Big Bend NP recently, heading down the Terlingua Ranch to Marathon Road.
Recent rains had created a very large wash-out which we couldn’t get across in our long wheel-base F-350.
We had to back up a half a mile before we found a place to turn around.
Rock On
Great country, great trip. Thanks!
Watching that was giving me enxiety 😄. Those pucker situations sure get the heart pumping.
Great job Jason! Nice driving & beautiful filming.
Excellent video, I'm sure there was a lot of puckering, lol. Glad you all made it out safe.
Sa Weet ! Glad you / y’all got out of there without any disasters !
Love your videos.
Any day you can end with a Coors is a good day! Wouldn't be any fun without a little adventure. Can't wait for the next episode. Beautiful drone shots. The best part is I can watch it with a little different perspective on Donald's channel.
Great video 🏜🌾🍂
Awesome adventure.
Awesome trip so far! Dig the new awning.
Nice to get multiple perspectives on the same trip. I've been following you and Donald for a while now, need to add Shi to the list.
Awesome! My favorite word to describe this. Think if I had to back up the van, my pants would be wet!😂
Jason, I didn't notice it when I watched this video over a week ago, and if it's already been brought up please just ignore this. I came back to watch part 1 again before watching pt2, and unless I'm looking at this wrong I think you meant to put 2022 on the title of this video. Anyway, I'm loving this adventure so far, can't wait for more. Be safe brother.
Very sketchy trail...even harder backing up
..well done...beautiful camp
Roaring Springs country...one time we turned right @ Rome and drove out along the canyons rim for many miles, had a 69 VW then. Some of the loveliest country in the world.
Every time I’m on a sketchy portion I can’t wait to get through. Watching this makes me want to get back on them and find a camp spot like that 😅
Awesome video. I see that you had my favorite beer in your hand. The Coors Yellow Jacket! Regards from Ody Slim
this is where those e-bikes would come in handy for scouting narrow tracks, im still loving the vids.
Thanks for the video!
I have been on some 2 tracks with my class 1 e-bike that were nothing but a rock garden… very difficult to get up hill…still had to hike the bike
HEY! Good morning Jason!
very nice
Coors Banquet beer. Nice chose.
I know it's difficult but let go of daisy and get yourself a new pup. It's just life. enjoy your channel.
Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing!! Also, don’t forget to use the drone to assist you with forward recon. Might save you a few miles of driving and reversing!
The trip he posted was one of the best videos ever in this channel please watch it you haven’t
I love that area. Have you thought about listing date of your travels in each videos? We are looking for a place to explore over the Thanksgiving week. Today 4 inches 0f new snow at our cabin. USFS has closed roads in our area this week and that means head east. So many places to explore and not enough time. Keep up the good work.
Yay!
Beautiful campground there by the river and the areal shots you got were very good. Hope to see more from this location, it's almost a perfect spot from where I'm sitting, just sayin. That narrow passage you found, probably good you weren't pulling your trailer on this one? ...be safe brother✌
👍👍👍👍👍
👍
I wonder if Shi needs a better license plate mount made for him lol. And the sketchy stretch of that road was shown in some other guys video from just before the overland expo pnw, I think it was "the story till now" crew
Enjoy watching your travels mine is not a 4x4 so I watch you lol love your awning! Where did you get it?
The road was a no-go for the rigs; however, I bet it would have been a lot of fun on the e-bike
Nice vid… we share the same “fear” of not knowing our tip over.. it freaks me out… I found a company that has a tilting table but it was $7,500 to do both sides… definitely out of my budget. But intersting idea….
Donald get a new shovel? Maybe this before he lost it I think 🤔. Nice job filming Jason.
This portion of the trip preceded my Idaho adventure. That's still my old shovel (which I think I paid $11 for at Coastal Farm Supply 😄)
@@softroadingthewest thanks Donald. Looked like a great adventure.
Hope you get a route I've been all over Oregon that's the only area I've not been Hope fuel prices drop after you get route I'd really like checking out the area in my overland suburban
I personally would not drive so close to the rig in front of me .. especially in the open... That new shade on the rig looks great.. earlier pictures there was the square tarp
✌
When exploring like this, can you talk about gas management? How big your tank is, range issues while exploring etc...
You guys are focusing on the Owyhee north of Rome.
South of Rome. Three Forks,,, a semi popular location. There is signage. I spent four days there and never saw another human being. South of Three Forks...
Beautiful country down by the river, thank you! Hey Jason got a question. Did you use any spices when you cooked those mud bugs?
I saw Donalds video. The route got way too narrow for any of your vehicles to get past. It was motorcycle only. Not the fault of having a larger van.
Awesome video. Use the drone for recon.
Van looked like it kicked ass. Hey, I'm in PDX and have a 2006 Econoline with an Agile TTB conversion. Did you have your van converted in Hillsboro at AJ's? I remember someone making a video about that?
Oh-why-hee just to clear that up
Jason I just wanted to ask did you find anything of Daisy at all best wishes be safe be careful out there ken
HEIGHT IN ROLLOVERS, the center of your axles to the very top on the van , i mean including the boxes or tires the very top times 67% is what your allowed before rollover, example, 10 feet, height x the width of the outside of the tires say 7'-0"= 70 x67%= is 46.9 " for the start of rollover , now this is on level ground like a street or freeway, but on a slope of a hill side, the rollover is much greater. looking at the picture of the van , i say within 1 foot for the rollover,! i m building a hydralic system . in my truck that will move the whole truck opposite or leaning to the hill slope to prevent the rollover from happening? i got the idea from a 12 ton forklift, with a boom like as crane , that you see on construction sites, ? i can lean my truck over to 80% from center level.should be ready around march 2023 , i ll show it on a video, WEIGHT TRANFER?
What do you use to clean the cutting board?
The Bundys,,,
i would love to get my hands on a real 4x4 van
It was Donald’s fault …just kidding
🤣
Fckn Donald, that dude
🤣🤣🤣
Didnt know you spoke fluent cow!!!
How many galloons of gasoline do you keep on board?
Yea I can see you chewing your drawers on that little bitty rock
@ 1:06: "Me and Donald" - I am sure you meant Donald and I.
I blame geography
If a Nissan and a Ram can do it any vehicle can do it
Get on with it, already. Sheesh.
Totally your fault lake of experience and intelligence.
👍
