Cool to see other people in ohio making videos down in Vinton county! Kudos to you from running back and forth for all the camera angles. Very well done.
@@MrPhilipshrider I wish I could make it out. Been working on some rust repair the last few months. Just mostly got that finished a few days ago so now I have some new upgrades to install on my TJ. Maybe I'll see you out there sometime. I'll subscribe!
damn, as someone who's gone up Waterfall multiple times in the past year, this video for sure makes that look WAY EASIER than it really is. Not to mention makes it look shallow/small. Trust me when I say that that waterfall is easily an 8-10 foot difference from the base to the top... and the water flowing over it is hiding the overhangs which make it more difficult to climb. man what a difference in a single year has made to that place...
Great camera work and tons of off-road skills. I hate going by myself. I've had to walk a long way a couple times. Well, I guess that was before cell phones😂. Nice old Toyota, too.
I just watched this video again a year later and it's still great. A 1st gen Taco is a beast. I sold mine looking for the next toy, I really miss it watching this.
@@MrPhilipshrider i just subscribed and own a few 4x4s. My 06 4runner is my baby and jus purchased an all stock 01 4runner i have plans for and my off road beater/driver 99 cherokee. Starting a family slowed me down for sure but its abt time my son comes and does some trails with his dad.
Your a trooper with lots of good camera work in the rain. Great video. Another testament why I think narrower tires are better. Cuts through stuff with less ground resistance. 👍👍
@@MrPhilipshrider I'll have to remember that. I have 16" rims running 315/75r16s rt now but Patagonia MTs run narrower than others so doing well so far.
I would love to find some of these routes ! I live in Lawrence county and this would be some new scenery for us not far from home. Great video, that Toyota sure has some grip !
Cool video and nice Yota 🤙yeah that rock ledge at the end is a good one the camera doesn't do it justice, my transmission mount decided to leave the chat room climbing it back in April cause my t case to pop out of low range it was like throwing it in neutral haha got sketchy but made it. How often do you wheel out there? Also you wouldn't happen to have a map layout of the roads and trails would you. I've been 4 times but don't know the roads and always went with ppl that knew. Beautiful place
Hello. Part of my job is spent driving on undeveloped roads here in New England and elsewhere. I’m not a 4x4 enthusiast or rock crawler, but I do enjoy banging around in a full sized pick-up truck and doing so in harsh weather is routine. A month ago, I made the “tragic” error of having my wife join me when on a training site assessment in northern New Hampshire. With close supervision, I let her drive. Yup, she now wants to go off-roading! Using TH-cam to research and prepare for her trip, I unintentionally came across your site. I showed Eva a few of your videos and explained what you were doing and why. The “Waterfalls and Water Crossings” video was impressive and led me to remember similar conditions I have experienced. However, what really made the video was the excellent videography and editing. Nicely done. Here in Boston, a compliment is to offer a “Tip of the hat.” I doff mine to you. Yesterday, Eva drove a five mile moderately difficult Class Six road in Northern New Hampshire; she did well and had a blast. She even forded a 20-inch deep river! (Bonus... didn’t wreck the truck!) Yup, she wants to do it again! It is likely my future days off will be spent driving in the woods instead of on my boat. Kind of bumming about that! I’ve been to Ohio (Urban) to teach a few times. For those visits, I flew. Hmm... Vinton County is only a 15-hour drive! Best wishes and watch out for yourself.
Northern Ohio boy here. I would love to come run some trails with you. Maybe We could fix the door on that old church. My son lives in Logan and would love to show him the trails and teach him about taking care of his community .
Very good video! Inspires me some to get out and get me some more videos made! Good camera work, good music. I like it! And I hit the ol subscribe button!
You’re hitting it harder than most of the TH-camrs out west. Great to see this in my state, and on a taco! Also this channel is criminally undersubscribed.
It's one thing to disrespect private property, but to desecrate a house of God takes it to a whole new level. Shame on them. Back to the ride, that locking rear diff sure makes a difference in that mud. As a fellow 1st gen owner, a build video or walk-around would be interesting. You have a very nice Taco there. New sub, you camera work is very nice.
Phil, great video. I love the tripod shots. I gotta ask do you walk back or drive back to get the tripod? It takes a lot of time to film all this. Keep it up.
It certainly was wet down there quite a bit last month! Yeah...at 15:00 If you don't want to go full submarine you need to hug the inside bank (driver going in, passenger going out). That corner gets dug out, both by nature and by man.
Any chance you could share some maps or resources to find some good trails down there? I was there a couple weeks ago and had trouble finding anything more than gravel roads.
What trails did you go on I know the last one was waterfall trail but what were the first and second one I’m planning a trip and I’d like to go on those same trails
Nice video. Subscribed before the video was over. It may be older, but that's a nice truck. I've camped from my truck before, but I'm new to overlanding. My truck is still bone stock, and upgrades will depend on financing availability. I'd be very interested in a truck and gear video. It's neat to see videos from here in Ohio. I'm up in Franklin County. Doesn't seem to be many good locations in my area that I've discovered so far. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos and following the channel. I'm a truck guy, so I tend to root for the guy using a truck and not a Jeep or whatever.
It is the best place for reception while still keeping it below the roof line. Honestly, you get used to it very quickly and I don’t even notice them anymore.
Awesome vid! Is there any maps of these trails and difficulty level along with entrance and exit areas that you know of? I have a power wagon and a cj3a, I’d love to take them both.
What tires are you running they seem to work pretty well in the slick mud......and I'm subscribing to for the vids....the updates and to trailering as well.....I love in the xenia oh. area
I'm currently running 255/85R16 BFG Km3 and absolutely love them. I used to run a KM2 in 33X10.5R15 but they could not hold up to the rocks being a Load C tire. Being in the east with all the mud and clay I think a mud tire is the only way to go. Thank You for subscribing and if you have any questions or need help feel free to reach out.
I have a basically stock 2019 tacoma other than 265 tires...are there any trails in ohio I'd be safe to explore without destroying my truck I know most trails require more than just stock lift.
Nope, That is probably the hardest part of the trail now and it was way to slippery to try to position a camera that day. I did end up using front and rear lockers though.
Hello, I’m looking for some trails to do down there that my outback wilderness can handle. I’m a capable driver but there’s no way my car can do that trail. Any suggestions?
Me and the guys I hunt with over there are still using cb. I’m looking into putting a gmrs radio in my truck. Do you know what gmrs channels the the off road clubs use over there?
I'm not going to give out exact locations of any of my videos, But I am going to make a video showing how to find these trails and unmaintained roads by using paper maps, satellite images and OnX.
@@MrPhilipshrider Great Video man! Would also love to tag along. I'm up by the lake but have wanted to try out Vinton for a long time. be great having a guide. 2nd gen regular cab.
How's that? Mid Ohio Jeepers Association does trail rides down there with 80+ rigs and that's a paid for organization ride. The title is also very vague, No county mentioned.
@@MrPhilipshrider we had a few trails closed due to a few tree huggers taking video footage to the courts. Most offroad FB groups in the mid-Atlantic area are banning water crossing videos on the FB pages. Just FYI.
@@1ALrX Which roads/trails are you referring to? I grew up and still live in this area so I"m pretty familiar with the "goings on". If you have insight more than me I'm open to a dialogue and you can PM me anytime you like to discuss this further...
Nice 👍. I like that you use the ambient sound instead of obnoxious music.
Thank you. I’m not a huge fan of the electronic music so many channels use that I’m trying to let people get a feel what it’s really like on trail.

The truck looks great
Love me some Vinton County!
Seriously impressive video. Great camera work as well!

@@MrPhilipshrider i am
I'm still impressed by that old Toyota, you get so much more flex than me, I struggle with a few of them rock ledges
It has taken awhile to get it dialed in that well. I just recently added new Bilstein 5125 which give another inch of travel.
Cant wait to go out there, thts the first place im taking my wj once its lifted
It’s a lot of fun. Glad we’re in wheeling season again.

Nope. I just wipe them down before every shot. I didn’t use my big camera this day, only GoPros.
