@@caligirlx916 I think you could, as long as it wasn’t just after a rain. I’ve seen videos that had Subarus running it. Bring another vehicle for sure though, and next trip I’m bringing a chainsaw.
Nice we were just here last weekend for memorial weekend. Glad I was able to experience this place but the Usal rd wasn’t open to where you guy was chopping the tree. Nice video!
I have since heard it as well. There was nothing posted that we could see, and there were several people camped on the sand when we arrived, so it didn’t occur to me that it wouldn’t be okay.
@@DIGITALCITY-wn4by correct, but in the absence of signs it’s hard to tell. I mostly try to enjoy the wilderness as I find it, in its most natural state. That is to say, that beach existed for a very long time without ranger stations.
there are signs around the campsite that says no camping on the beach. I know its tempting to camp at the beach, but please try to follow the rules so that it continues to stay open
Driving on Usal beach has been prohibited for many years, but it’s one of those things where enforcement is lax and “everybody does it” is the norm. More barriers will be put up as damage to the beach increases, so go now before it’s closed.
I freaking LOVE The Lost Coast!! Thanks for sharing! ❤️ I stayed in Westport last week and could see it in the distance from where I was staying! 😍
You've got to check out Usal Road then. Amazing views mixed with remote forests, and it is fairly easy terrain wise.
@@rohrsoutdoors Really? I didn't think my Honda Element could do it. It's not 4WD. You're tempting me though!! 😁

@@rohrsoutdoorsGood idea about about a second vehicle. Something that could pull me out of a rut 😂 And no kidding about the chainsaw! Haha!

Thanks- I didn’t realize they closed parts if the road. Do you know why?
Just got back from there. Thanks for chopping off that nub on the tree. Went through myself.
No problem!
What a great trip. I always have a small chainsaw with me as well as an ax.
It is not typically an issue in Southern California, we were caught off guard since it was our first time up north.
@@rohrsoutdoors I imagine not. They have some pretty sweet folding saws available these days as well.
Yes. A chainsaw and a high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicle are pretty much required for Usal Road.
Awesome video
Thanks!
Omg. I need to go. I set a challenge to stay along the pch for less than $100 for 4 nights. On my way to Oregon from Texas.
Easy to do, stay on BLM land. If you don’t have the Gaia app, check it out.
@@rohrsoutdoors I do have it. Thanks.
Cool video, cool fj
Glad you liked it, I can’t wait to go back.
Great video! How do I find this place? Just put Usal Beach in my GPS?

Look for signs though. Apparently you are not supposed to camp on the sand, when we were there we did not see any signage.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your video.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’m mostly making these for my kids and myself to enjoy our adventures, but I am happy someone else could too.
👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Cool video. I live in Cleone, not too far from there
Very cool! I can’t wait to be back there next year.
Cool video. What type of cooktop is that?
It’s my buddy’s, a Coleman. I have the same one.
If your talking about the tailgate, it is stock.
Could you please share the start of the trail to the end of the trail ?
Yes.

Email me and I can send it.
I read that even though lots of people do it, it’s illegal to drive and/or camp on the beach. Do you know if that’s true?
I have since heard it as well. There was nothing posted that we could see, and there were several people camped on the sand when we arrived, so it didn’t occur to me that it wouldn’t be okay.
check with local ranger stations, a lot of rumors about this but better to know for sure.

@@augustinechoi2465 as mentioned earlier, I did not see them.
That’s a pretty looking Tacoma. Gotta work on my axe technique.
It was.
Planing on going soon , just checking on a website that driving on the beach is not allowed anymore . How true is that ?
It was fine two months this ago, but things may have changed.
It wasn't fine when you did it..what you and others are doing is an issue
could a honda pilot make it that runs all terrain tires and has decent ground clearance also has the low range lock
I think so. The one variable to be cautious of would be rain- the trail could get pretty hairy right after a storm.
Just got back to sacramento today this place is happening
Glad to hear! It is probably the most beautiful trail I have ever been on.
Lots of people?
Cool!
Agreed- fun times.
They still salty about driving on the beach, or is ok again?
Could you get fined for driving on the beach ?
No ranger or fines.
It was fine in June, not sure about now.

Someone teach frank how to swing an axe
We don’t get a whole lot of practice in the Mojave.
A small chainsaw is in the plans for the return trip.
