When it comes to quick weekend getaways, what is top priority for you? Finding epic campsite views, maybe relaxing enjoying a good book, or throwing down on a nice meal at camp? Let's chat about it!
For me, it’s combination of the scenery/views and the actual trails/tracks I take to get there (being interesting and fun to drive). Getting away from strangers/civilization for a bit doesn’t hurt either. Great video sir! Thank you.
Thank you for the support!
Couldn't agree more! Have fun out there and safe travels.
I will sometimes take my little cj7 on the Horse Heaven Hills with a few friends from church. Just doing some mild stuff. The jeep is very worn down with almost 220,000 miles on it so I don't want to push it too far. Still have great times in it and try to take it on as many camping trips as possible. Great video! Nice to see Washingtonians on youtube!
Mountain biking.
I love finding a great campsite and views! I'm in Colorado on the eastern slope, grew up on LI NY and moved here in 2010. So much to explore.
I too picked up a Garmin Mini, last year on a summer solo camping trip, and has proven to be a phenomenal buy. Not only for the emergency use, but when far from cell towers, being able to get the weather forecast and send a message to my wife from my phone and have a GPS/map solution, is priceless. Well worth the monthly fee.
Couldn't agree more, well worth the cost for all situations of use!
What an adventure. One of the reasons we started overlanding and exploring!
Agreed, all about getting out and exploring where the road goes! Appreciate the support, thank you!
One of the most beautiful vids I’ve seen in a while. Great work
Sincerely appreciate that, thank you! Much more in store for this year!
That last campsite was perfect! That’s what it’s all about right there!
Makes all the effort leading up to that point well worth it, thank you!
"A complete 180 of what the weather is currently" Welcome to Western Washington! 🤣
100% 😆
I love stampede pass! I explore it a few times every year, never gets old. Love the content man, until next time!
Right on! It’s a fun trail to just get out and enjoy the surrounding views. Thank you very much for the support! 👍🏼
@@ConquestOverland @Bee Chan Excellent video! Your video shows how beautiful this pass is! Next time you go out there could you do a video while driving or hiking that forest road (FR 5200?) underneath the trestle? Did you know that forest road that you drove underneath the railroad trestle was once the original mainline? It led to a long lost town named Weston. There's not much information out there about the town. All i know is that it was once the western counterpart to the town of Easton on the Stampede Line and was extremely important in getting the trains over the mountain grade. The town seemed to have disappeared sometime after the Lester Trestle was completed and when Lester was used by the NP as the western point to help get trains over the mountain. Again, not much information is out there and very few people know anything about Weston and i'd like to find out more about it. Not much is left but I have heard that the forest road underneath the Lester Trestle was once the original NP mainline and led to Weston a few miles upstream. Somehow the line climbed back up that forest road (i think the FR 5200 that went back up the hill just south of the trestle is part of the original mainline) and joined the current mainline I think about 400 or so feet just east of the trestle (if you go up there and look closely you can almost see where the the cut/road bed came back in). Anyway, would love for you to do a video while hiking that FR 5200 road and find the remnants of Weston! Maybe do a video while hiking or driving that forest road from Lester, alongside the river, underneath the trestle, to the clearing that was once Weston, and back up the forest road that was once part of the road bed to the original mainline to where it connected back to the current mainline. If you can do a video about this it would be awesome because there are very few alive today that know anything about it!
Nice! Love your videos. Thanks for the adventures you provide!❤️
Thank you for tuning in and joining along!
Another amazing video Michael. Great videography with awesome views and really cool camera placement on the truck, trails, and drone footage.
Thank you very much! Always a nice little challenge keeping the camera work up when venturing solo.
I know its tough to not keep stopping when the chance of such great landscape shots are apparent, your drone footage was superb and I enjoyed your reviews of the products you utilized
Definitely have to tell yourself to limit the stops, luckily this one wasn’t on a tight schedule. 😉
Thank you for the support, means a lot!
Inspiring me to get out and explore with my daughter once she is ready.
Love it,will try ours this coming summer
Good video, like how it comes together so calm and relaxing during your adventure
Sincerely appreciate it, thank you! 👍🏼
Planning to move to SW Washington from San Diego to be closer to my kids who live up there already, I will miss surfing but I have fallen in love with overlanding a bit more now in my 50's. This makes me happy to see my future adventures and how epic it is in WA State.
Great video
Thank you so much!
Such a great video!! Looking forward to your next ones!!!
Thank you very much for the support!!
Fantastic contents, videos, the resolution is superb, your comments and description are rich. Enjoined the episode. Thanks and keep the good work. Greeting from Saudi Arabia
Thank you very much for the support! Incredible to read our community has grown to your home country!
BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS VIEWS SCENERY VIDEO ! GORGEOUS WEATHER & WILDLIFE TOO !LIKE THE TIRE TABLE LOOKS EASY TO USE & STORE AWAY . HOPEFULLY NO WILDFIRES UP YOUR WAY ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Thank you very much for the support! Was an incredible trip to say the least, much more to come!
Being on the east coast, I’m super jealous of the cool spots you guys have out west! Subscribed my man!
Just have to make a visit out here, plenty to see! 😉
Thank you very much for the support! 👍🏼
Patiently waiting!
Top priority for me is to ensure I have everything I need to make camp as comfortable as possible for my wife and kids so we can all enjoy nature...comfortably!
Nothing wrong with being extra comfy when out there, especially when the whole family joins in. I can completely relate, rain and snow camping I enjoy those comfort factors of warm and dry! 👍🏼
Great video, gave me more reasons to explore that area when I get a chance. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, thank you for the support! You’ll love this trail, so much to see and witness including the numerous side trails that I barely even explored. 👍🏼
The content you capture is second to none ! Keep doing what you do. I love it ! I'm new to overlanding . Im going to do a walk around on my Jeep and hope you like what I do. Keep the channels on the up !
Thank you very much for the support! I'll definitely have to check out the video once released!
@@ConquestOverland im uploading my first jeep video.should be up soon. Im off to Markleeville in Tahoe for some camping. I hope its clear up there from the smoke
Dude! Im very happy that I clicked on your video. Nice and chill attitude with a vet relaxed presentation. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
Sincerely appreciate it, thank you very much! 👍🏼
Much more to come!
Very nice job on this video ! The drone shots of the bridge were fantastic !
Sincerely appreciate it, thank you! Stampede Pass is such a fun trail, unfortunate it’s buried in snow for a majority of the year 😉👍
Hey man welcome back! I always look forward to your videos. They’re fun to watch and the video production is great! You sold me on my third gen taco, ARE bed cap, and popup rooftop tent. Can’t wait to get out there. Your videos are very motivating! You should film more cooking too!
Thank you very much for the continued support, means a lot!
Sounds like you got yourself a great setup, love it!! It's amazing the comfort the rooftop tent gives and not to mentioned the gear storage of the canopy, definitely miss having that while waiting for the next phase. Hoping to incorporate more cooking as well, stay tuned!
Soooo good
Thank you very much!
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. I'm just up the road near Granite Falls. Never been overlanding but look forward to doing so one day. The closest I've come so far is watching videos of others out on the trail. You've inspired me to bump it up on my list of priorities. TY.
Thank you for the support! Don't wait until you think you have all the "gear" needed to go out, just simply take it one trail and adventure at a time. Most importantly just have fun!
Just found your channel CO...it took me a few minutes watching till like 5:40 min mark, when you raised your drone behind your truck to realize the spot you were at.
Yeah, I have been there numerous times since 2017. That big pile of old logged trees behind, when you climb to the top there, looking straight ahead is what it's called Kelley's Bute mountain. Next time you there, get your binoculars out. There is a fire watch tower on top. You can even see it with the naked eye.
I have spend many nights on top of that ridge where you started you video.
It's a hard place to find for someone that has never drove through these cascade mountains. Maybe I see you there one day.
Beautiful thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the support!
Amazing adventure.
Thank you so much for the support!
Just stumbled onto your channel and have to say the quality of your footage is amazing.
Sincerely appreciate it, thank you!! I always try to improve and change things up with each outing.
You always feature the best spots, love your new intro! Find your adventure!
Thank you very much! Washington definitely has so much to offer!
@@ConquestOverland I love the PNW! ❤️🌲
Great video. Thanks for the tips!
Absolutely, thank you for the support!
Beautiful views, thank you for a wonderful video.
Appreciate the support, thank you!!
Great video bro! Relaxing, great views, very enjoyable. Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the support, means a lot!
absolutely stunning location and great video 👍🏼
Thank you very much!
Awesome video. Beautiful place.
Thank you!!
Nice vid...pure freedom!
Absolutely, thank you for the support!
Thanks
Amazing video as always. 👍👍
Very much appreciated, thank you for the support!
Glad to see you didn't drown the Pendleton Cowboy!!! Nice job!
Appreciate it! 👍🏼
Pendleton is some good stuff, just recently discovered it among the many others at out there.
Wow stumbled across your channel and I love every bit of it. Made props on filming solo!
Thank you very much! Always a nice little challenge to film solo, forces the creativity and you also get the day's workout in running to and from the truck ;)
Nice work. Really solid editing and music. Used to spend a lot of time up on the pass. Spent a few great nights in an igloo near the sno park just east of Keechelus. My wife and I are building up our truck and planning to hit that trail. Thanks for the good video to help us out. FYI: I grew up pronouncing it Catch-a-lus, but I also slept in igloos during the winter on a mountain pass, so I may not be the smartest person.
Thank you very much, appreciate the support!
The igloos sound like a great time, haven’t done that myself yet though it’s on the list!
And I appreciate the help on pronouncing, much closer than I would have gotten. Don’t think I’ve ever heard it in person before... 🤔
Have fun out there and safe travels!!
Man that is one nice Tacoma you have looks very nice , good work !
Thank you very much!!
Great job filming man...I go to green water often myself... beautiful place...
Thank you! Greenwater is just a perfect area to explore, more than enough trails to fill a few weekends.
This squeaky leaf springs. Lol. I heard them alright. Your not alone
Gift that keeps on giving with suspension upgrades. Just have to wear it proudly! 😆👍🏼
Great vid! Just wanna make sure you know that the tire table has a leg that drops down for extra strength if you need it. Cheers!
Haha, indeed it does! Completely blanked on mentioning that in the video, next time. Thank you for the support!
Great video, looking forward to seeing more, subscribed!
Right on, thanks for the support!
Nice trip! July 31-8/1 I did Greenwater to I-90 via Tacoma Pass (just a bit East of Stampede). It's such a weird patchwork of squares of NF land and ravaged logged land up there. I also was surprised at how few riverside campsites I found. My trek was 94 miles pavement to pavement.
I love that Tailgater. I find it very useful in an SUV to hold stuff as I take things in and out of the truck. Particularly useful to keep stuff out of the wet in our climate. We also use it as a cooking surface for lunch - eat on my Alps table.
You just beat me to the Outland Fire Pit. My family has been hounding me about it for a year. Can't wait to use it.
Haven't done the Tacoma pass myself, definitely will need to check that out one day. Agreed, there are very few riverside spots, especially any worthwhile. On this trip I saw a couple opportunities but the water level was very low and looked more like a mosquito buffet.
I do have to say for the very first use of the Tire Table I love it! It will pair nicely once we get the GFC and awning. Plan will be to have it where I can easily access items through the side door opening of the GFC all while staying out of the rain under the awning. I can definitely see the massive benefits for an SUV, almost have your very our "tailgate" at that point.
You guys will love the fire pit. So nice to have the flexibility of mobility. If it rains heavy or snows you can move it under the awning and still enjoy a warm fire while being nice and dry!
Thank you again for the continued support, means a lot!
Great video!
Thank you very much!
Great video buddy!
Much appreciated, thank you!
another great video, amazing drone shots just like here in vancouver bc, looking forward to my overland trip, good advise on the mini garman.
Thank you for the support, John! Would love to check out the Vancouver BC area one day. Safe travels on your future trips!
You make good videos mate. Love your 🌮 👍
Thank you very much, appreciate the support!
My feriends and I just call it stump lake. durning the summer months it is a lot lower with stumps showing.
Nice! I am planning on driving this now that I have my truck running again.
I have a camp cot I plan to set up in the back of my truck.
Thanks for the video
Definitely make it happen, absolutely wonderful trail! Love the camp cot idea, sounds comfortable. Thank you for the support!
I have a video on it if you want to check it out
For sure, send a link if you have it!
@@ConquestOverland th-cam.com/video/w-UPeSctXRw/w-d-xo.html
Your video quality is super high. I love watching it. I hope your channel will grow big soon.
Thank you very much! Would love to see the channel get there one day, it’s amazing building and connecting with the community we have so far!
Thats awesome! I have been on some of those roads but did not see those sites.. im gonna explore more!!
That's what it's all about, sometimes you come across these sites by simply having the "wonder where that road goes" mentality. Granted, doesn't always work out but on this trail you can come across some real winners for camp.
Thank you for the support!
@@ConquestOverland love the videos! Keep them rolling! :)
th-cam.com/channels/RHuz8F3fQYJ_QiTcKVpUWA.htmlvideos
Looks like a cool trip. I moved up to the PNW in 2017 and haven't done any off roading. I need to get out on some trails.
Definitely make it happen, lots of trails out this direction! 😉 👍
Man you are making me miss WA, moved to Texas 7 years ago and while its not bad down here, the landscape pales in comparison. I definitely took that state for granted.
I have family down in Texas, know what you mean. Though, I wouldn’t mind to having those gas prices! Would make the continued weekend adventures a little easier 😉👍🏼
Happy to share more of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, thank you for the support!
Hey man, I love seeing your videos. And I actually spotted your truck in Edgewood before I moved to Spanaway. I took my wife to glacier and disperse camped for a few days and she enjoyed it. She’s sold rigging up my 2nd gen Taco for overlanding!
Oh right on, thank you for the support! Glad to hear you two had an awesome trip, Glacier is such a beautiful area. It only takes one outing and then you're hooked... haha. Have fun upgrading the truck, always a favorite activity! ;)
Great video man! Would love to do some overlanding in Washington some day!
Thank you very much! Definitely put it on the list, plenty of locations here to explore! 👍🏼
Your videos are chill! I was wondering if I could sleep in my cab. I’ll give it a shot.
Definitely give it a go! Makes sleeping in heavy rain that much more comfortable specially knowing there’s no tent to break down or later dry out. 👍🏼
Thank you for the support!
My favorite place to wheel
Awesome area for sure!
I'm always prepaired, Bear spray and a Smith and Wesson 45 semi.
What a great video dude. I spend 3 weeks a year just north of there in the west kootenays. Exact same style of a bit off road.
Appreciate the kind words and support, thank you so much! This area is a ton of fun to get out and explore, can't wait for the snow to melt and get back out there!
Hi Michael. Wow...... great video! New subscriber here...............Hi from México. I,m retiring from job in 4 years. And my dream is traveling like you do and feel FREE!!! I can see my self already following your example. I will follow your adventures from now on, as and inspiration. Great day!!!
Thank you very much for the support! 4 years will be here before you know it, very exciting for you! Have fun out there and safe travels! :)
awesome footage mate. Subbed. Cheers, Grant (Australia).
That’s incredible to read, love seeing our community expand out to Australia! Thank you very much for the support, take care! 👍🏼
I've always wondering if you can drive to Greenwater from Stampede Pass, so thank you for answering that for me! I appreciate your videos of great cinematic filming and good music. I also enjoy all your videos of Washington, as its the best place to be for camping, hiking, and overlanding in my personal opinion.
Couldn’t agree more! Washington is fantastic place to live and enjoy the beautiful surrounding landscapes, helps we have three National Parks also. 😉
Thank you for the continued support!
Nice Video!
Thank you very much!
I did this in my 2018 Mercedes S500. I ran into a few people out there that thought I was nuts.
Your playing in my old snowmobile and fishing hole. If you say Katchaless thats how it sounds Around Bend Oregon out!
This is amazing! Is it weird that I want to go hiking with you?
whelp, just ordered my large steel tire table thanks a lot lmao
Wow great video! New subscriber here. Reminds me a lot of the Primal Outdoors videos. I also live in Washington too. I’ve been up in the Stampede Pass area before but have ever taken the trip over it before. I need to make it a priority to do that.
Thank you very much for the support! Definitely put this trail on the list, incredible views and plenty of camping opportunities. Have fun and safe travels!
we call that lake the stump farm as it is a man made lake with alot of submerged stumps that appear above water level in late summer...pronounced lake catch-a-lass
Oh I believe it, one would definitely need to be cautious taking a boat out there!
Appreciate the pronunciation, caught me off guard trying to say it right... ;)
I got hit that trail this year! I’ve live in Washington and never been to that spot. You should try Mountain Loop, Highway up in Granite Falls it’s pretty cool spot
First off thank you very much, watching your videos you inspired me to start the WABDR. I am taking a weekend at a time and just got to Wenas. Now planning for Wenas to Chelan. Thanks for the new adventure. I am from central WA and would like to do the stampede pass trail next where can I find the trail to travel?
I appreciate the support, thank you! The WABDR is truly an incredible trail, there are so many great options for camping and the views are simply stunning. Glad to hear you're getting out there!
For info on Stampede Pass I used a site called Trails Offroad (subscription based, but well worth it), they give great detail on numerous trails throughout the country and offer a way to even download the track for using in a GPX file. Check out the link below:
trailsoffroad.com
I’m at this spot now (first spot). Such an awesome camping spot.
Where did you enter from ? I’m planning on going
John Porter I entered from I-90.
It really is, absolutely love it there!
I recently started watching your videos as I have just recently been exploring the trails and a few orv parks for the past two months or so as I am originally from Los Angeles so this is all kind of new to me and quickly growing on me as well. Watching your videos makes me want to do less orv parks and more overlanding/exploring because it’s more peaceful, less likely to break parts on my SUVs, better views, and I can spend quality alone time with my girlfriend and son. With that said, thank you for making all these videos. Also what drone do you have?
That’s incredible to hear, thank you for sharing! It’s all about getting out of our comfort zone and trying new things, doesn’t matter if it’s a success or failure. Washington and the Pacific Northwest brings plenty to see and explore. You and the family will have trips planned as long as the calendar allows! 😉👍🏼
As for the drone I’ve recently upgraded to the DJI Mavic Air 2. Absolutely love it!
Thank you again for the support!
Nice to see you back man. Great video. I went to Keechulus lake a few weeks ago... if I backtrack I could tell you how I got there...snoqaulmie is about the only place I have explored in my taco...I am new to WA and havent really explored to many trails yet with GAIA. Do you use your Garmin with GAIA for navigating trails? Perhaps one day we will get a chance to meet. Thanks again for your cool videos.
I primarily keep the Garmin unit only for quick check ins or emergency use. Everything regarding navigation I run on the tablet with Gaia GPS. The Snoqualmie area is incredible, definitely will be making return visits.
Thank you for the continued support!
Loving the videos. Been subbed and watching them all over the past few months.
Fellow Western WA adventurist myself. Mostly 2 wheel adventures before but I’ve recently picked up a Lexus gx460 I’ll be turning into an overland rig and can’t wait to get out and see more of this awesome state and do some camping.
I’ve done Stampede on my ducati adv bike, but wondering what that last spot is you camped at in this vid overlooking the lake? Or at least the road name/number I can explore to find it?
Thank you very much for the continued support! Sounds like you have the best of both worlds, very nice with the Lexus pick up. Lifestyle Overland has the same and it looks incredible with the few mods done.
As far as the locations go I do like to keep them from spreading to the general masses for obvious reasons but if you follow the original Stampede Pass trail its one of the very last side roads before you jump onto I-90. Pull up Gaia GPS or Google Maps and I'll guarantee you can find it. There is a lot to explore in the area and I've barley scratched the surface...
Have fun with the Lexus build and thank you again for the support!
glad i stumbled upon your page! you have totally inspired me do this kind of outing and to offroad our new cx50
That's so awesome to hear, right on! Thank you for the support, have fun out there and safe travels.
@comquestoverland will a full-size truck fit through the trails? Love the content! Keep it up.
Absolutely, shouldn't have any issues traveling the main trail. As for the side trails there are a few that have become a bit overgrown.
Thank you very much for the support!
Great content man! I just recently moved to the PNW maybe I'll catch ya on the trails sometime lol subscribed!
Thank you very much and welcome to PNW! I'm sure we'll cross paths on the trails soon enough. Thank you for the support! 👍
@@ConquestOverland my car isn't quite overland material but it's gone a lot further than I ever expected it to haha my first and most recent adventure was through the Capitol state forest as it is the closest to me but I definitely plan on exploring further throughout the state I don't really know anyone here so the trails have been my go to 😂
@@1_clean_s13 Hey, doesn't matter what you drive just as long as you're getting out! Ultimately all that matters! There is simply so much to see here in the Pacific Northwest, why I love living here. Definitely look at the various groups on Facebook, be surprised how many organized trips are put together on a weekly basis year round 👍
@@ConquestOverland I definitely plan to check out the Facebook groups, I'd love to get to see as much of the state as possible which has ultimately been the plan since i am currently living in my wagon so what better to do than drive through the forest before getting back to work 😂 your videos have kept me quiet entertained as well as inspire me to get out there myself I've almost watched every one so far lmao glad to have stumbled across your vides
This was amazing! Hoping to check out more sections of this area in our beautiful state. You might have passed by me at some point near Greenwater :)
I was the guy in the silver rav4 flying my drone.
Thank you very much! That area is awesome, provides so much to explore. We probably did cross paths at some point :)
Conquest Overland I’ll try to say hi if we cross paths again :)
Just came across your channel the other day. What a great video! Ive traveled the US in a former job but never made it to the PNW. Hoping to get up there one day. I was wondering if you were running stock gears? Keep the videos coming!
Thank you very much for the support! The PNW truly has some incredible scenery, from ocean front to snow capped mountains you can witness it all. You'll absolutely love it here when you do arrive!
As for the gears, I currently am running the stock setup. I can definitely tell it's not the same power as the day driving off the dealer lot (given the added weight/modifications). Someday we'll get around to upgrading that, but for now we seem to be doing just fine.
@@ConquestOverland Thanks so much for the detailed reply and information! Really appreciate you taking the time! Have a great year and happy wheeling!! Look forward to the future videos!
Great video man! You have a nice relaxing presence on camera too. For this trip do you think I'd be fine in a stock Silverado reg cab 1500 8'bed 4x4 with winter tires?
Also, have you ever done a similar trip up by US Route 2 Stevens Pass area? Thanks and have a good one!
Thank you for the support, means a lot!
You'll be just fine doing this trail with your current, very easy.
Have not explored US-2 as much as I'd like, it's on the list for sure!
Secluded camp site, no people. St Helens SW side has some nice areas, Ape canyon. Mt Hood area.
Very nice! Helens is definitely an area I'd like to explore more of.
Just found your channel... and wow, you make some very high quality videos man! Great editing and very fun to watch. I’m from near this area in Washington state, and I’m curious... is this the NF-7030 road? I know you said it starts in Greenwater and I’d love to check this trail out!! Again, great videos. Way to go!
Thank you very much for the support!
Check out the Trails Offroad site, they give all the details needed to head out on this route and you can download the GPX file!
www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/1867-nf7030-to-stampede-pass
Thank you!!
@@ConquestOverland Hope all is well. I just bought the premium subscription for GAIA and a subscriptions for Trails Offroad. Quick question for you please.... What are you using to download/accept the GPX file. I goal was to download the GPX file and upload in GAIA, but nothing on my computer is working to allow me to make this happen. Thanks in advance for your time.
Awesome video... thank you for sharing your trip... well done... quick question... do you have a link or info on your dog hammock for the back seat? I have a must I take and he bounces around in the back and that looks like a great way to protect him... Thank you again for an awesome video... stay safe and keep exploring...
Thank you very much for the support!
Here's a link for the exact dog seat cover used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G642RMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Conquest Overland Thank You!!!
The dog hammock idea is genius...looked pretty comfy back there.
Any spots or recommendation for someone who wants to get into dispersed camping? I just moved to SW Washington and have a bed platform built in the back of a Subaru Outback. Your videos are very inspirational, but I have no clue where to start out here.
It definitely was, I've camped like that numerous times before and slept great!
I would start by downloading the Gaia GPS app (subscription based, but well worth it) and learn as much as you can. I plan to make videos regarding how I use it for finding camp and planning trips, but in the meantime @LifestyleOverland has several awesome videos that have helped me tremendously when I first started. Along with that I would use Google Earth in conjunction, very helpful to get a sense for the "lay of the land" prior to heading out. Lastly, for simply finding great trails I've used Trails Offroad which gives a great starting point to not only explore trails throughout the country but also have an opportunity for finding nearby camps as well. See link for both below:
Thank you very much for the support and have fun out there!

Scenic trails make good videos man. What kind of lift are you running, the yoda looks good. Gonna look into that tire table!
Thank you very much! Currently have the ARB BP-51 by Old Man Emu, absolutely love it. That in addition to the Dakar leafs with an additional add on works well to keep everything nice and balanced. Definitely look into that table, nice to have an extra spot to keep things. Can’t tell you how many tables I’ve come across and used though this one just checks off all the boxes for me.
The people that are with you can make, or brake a great trip. I would say start off with a great group and if things go south, at least your with good company. 2nd, I would say location. It's got to be location.
Couldn't agree more!
You forgot to mention that you drove your Tacoma over Tacoma Pass. as you came up out on the 52 line.
I really enjoyed the quality of this video! I'm just getting into overlanding with my Ford Excursion. Aside from BFGoodrich A/T tires, it's completely stock. Is the main Stampede Pass trail wide enough for a full-size truck?
Thank you very much! Glad to hear you're beginning some adventures, always exciting! You'd be amazed with how much one can accomplish in a completely stock rig with a solid set of tires. You'll have no problems taking on Stampede Pass, plenty of room and very easy trail. Just be sure to take your time and enjoy the views.
Beautiful area! I didn't know this for a long time but Lake Keechelus is pronounced "catch-less"
Kind of weird 😂
See, now we know! Thank you for the break down! 😆
Cool video and channel. New subscriber here
Sincerely appreciate the support, thank you!
Great camping spots! I thought this was a solo trip, but you mention "WE"?! My requirement is room for a full size truck and for my wife bear and cougar free:) Very hard to find for sure
Habit I suppose from our previous trips, but definitely was a solo adventure. Bear and cougar free are definitely nice to have, specially when cooking up good smelling meals!
Great video! Definitely going to check this area out once this pandemic is over. Thinking of doing some solo trips in the future, any tips when sleeping inside your vehicle?
Thank you! This trail is definitely a must do, though I’d wait until June or so before attempting as the snow in this elevation makes the road impassable.
Far as tips for sleeping inside the vehicle, I don’t do anything fancy. Depending on the vehicle you have sleeping parallel (SUV) might be more comfortable with laying the seats down. If your in a double cab truck such as mine, sleeping perpendicular may be best. I do however keep the windows slightly cracked overnight to help with condensation build up on the inside windows. This would be more of a factor for winter camping however.
@@ConquestOverland Yeah for sure I got some family over in Tacoma so will definitely check it out.
I do have a super crew so definitely will figure out the best way to do so. I’m thinking of doing this during maybe a winter camping as I have an RTT but won’t be using it during winter. In regards of safety, do you have any tips on this part?
Nothing too drastic here:
Basically “lock” yourself in but keep the keys close. Though remember to “unlock” come morning or you’ll have a pleasant surprise of the car alarm to jolt you awake (happened to me). 😆
Be mindful of where you park in cause of an emergency where you need to leave quickly you can safely and easily do so.
Also helps to have any gear stored away in situations like this also.
Anything else as far as “defensive protection” can be left to your best judgment.
@@ConquestOverland That’s fair definitely don’t want to have that happen in the morning lol
Got you so just do your due diligence before calling it a night. Any close encounter from bears or animals, while doing your solo trips?
Anyways Mike, thank you for your tips. If ever you plan on coming up to Vancouver, BC (I live in Canada) after this pandemic is over, let me know. My friends and I can show you to some local and not so known spot. Also, I’m a fellow Frenchie owner as well 👍🏽. Cheers!
@@GeefromBC have yet to have any bad encounters with wildlife (fingers crossed). Just have to be mindful when cooking and disposing of trash correctly and you shouldn’t have issues.
But sounds like a plan! BC is high on my list to explore. Would love to take an extended trip just to check out all the various areas. Really appreciate the welcoming on that! 👍🏼
Thank you again for the support, safe travels out there!
After being in Washington for a while i finally got something i feel comfortable taking on drives like this, what do you use to navigate and find places to go?
video quality is phenomenal, i hope to do something similar, thanks for the inspiration!
Right on! I’ve always had the saying of it doesn’t matter what you drive, as long as you’re getting out! 👍🏼
I primarily use Gaia GPS for all navigation and planning needs. It’s a subscription based platform for their premium use but well worth it for frequent travel, highly recommend!
Thank you very much for the support, means a lot!
