Not trying to be disrespectful at all. We deal with this all winter into the summer. If you start up higher and let your rear swing down and keep your vehicle pointed uphill at a 30-45* it wants to climb naturally. The first time feels awkward but those that wheel in snow a lot will agree that you will cross the drift with less downhill drop and side angle. Watch jantz jeep.
Sounds like an interesting way to cross a snow covered shelf road. Not something I’d want to try without someone to teach me that knows what they are doing.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures something for everyone to think about when attempting to cross an off camber snow drift. Peeps also have to keep in mind that the downhill side of the snowdrift will almost always be mud trying to slide your tire downhill. If you choose to try to cross, it's best to stay uphill a bit more than you'd like to keep your rig from becoming a new scenic attraction. Always be willing to reassess the situation and remember, it's ok to turn around and go a different route. Stay safe and keep adventuring.
Great job at stopping and reassessing your situation while going through that snowbank. So many people don't do that and they end of having a very bad day. Great job at not being stupider... 🙂
We did not make it to Black Lake either, and we were there on July 6th.... and knowing exactly where you were on the trail when you ran into the sketchy snow gave me the serious willies! I guess we both have undone business to finish!
What a great adventure and glad you didn’t die 😂. That shelf road is a good example of one of the disadvantages to our camper build. I would not even attempt it in it. It’s wide, heavy, and 20+ degrees is right on the edge of disaster. But having heat in the snow is a plus!
Something than no overlanding channel that I have seen has ever talked about having a shovel because it’s actually a forest service rule/law to carry an axe shovel and bucket in/on every vehicle. If I remember correctly it is to put out a fire while it is still getting started and hasn’t destroyed thousands of acres of land. This was something that was drilled into me by my father because it was drilled into him every year by members of the forest service back in the 1980s when he drove logging trucks.
Snow in June, who knew! We were in Hells Canyon a few weeks after you, the contrast between the weather for your trip and ours is crazy! Like you guys, we also weren't able to make it to Black Lake. One of the locals mentioned the snow drift at what they call "High Dive". We decided Black Lake will need to wait till the fall. :) Glad you guys and the pups had a great trip regardless of the weather.
Matt, some of those snow areas were very sketchy. Thanks as always for sharing. Going to watch the next part shortly. And kudos to open road winch. I got one because of you.
One thing I like to watch is aircraft accident investigations, and what can be learned. Especially in general aviation, they have something called "get-there-itis" and how it can cause a cascading chain of events leading to disaster. The point is, as Kenny Rogers sang, "know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em".
Another use case for hi-lift. if you didn't have anything to winch from, you can jack the front up a few inches, push it to the side - just small incremental movements so as to not loose stability.
I've been in that situation many times. In that situation you should've drove with the two passenger side tires on the snow and the driver tires on the trail as close to the drift as possible in case you slide. There was not enough room to go around it or do like you did and get out and shovel the drift. Safe camping 👍.
We had such an awesome time! So glad none of us died! 😂😂😂 Too bad we didn’t have the footage of our 4Runner almost going off the side when we went around that downed tree! That was scary! - Misti ❤
I used to try using tiny collapsable shovels to save space but they were just too small to work very well when I needed them. I now carry a regular shovel with a mid-length handle. If you don’t already carry one it’s a good idea to add a 100’ winch line extension to your recovery gear. It’ll go a long way to reach anchor points where the trees are few and far between.
Sorry about Black lake but every time I get stopped from getting to where I wanted to go, I think next time. Good reason to come back. It drives you forward. Great video.
Hey Matt, wow that was intense...thought I saw a little fear in your eye. I was scared for you! Glad you didn't die!! Honestly love your videos. Keep them coming and stay safe.
Okay so when you're crossing the One path that's just full of snow and you get to the end meet personally would have gotten out and dug out before I would have tried to cross that because that is really sketchy I'm glad you guys made it safe but I had to stop and take a break cuz that got me all worried
Ok I know I wasn't there and the video doesn't do it justice but I've seen a ton of your videos. Always trust spotter! Matt you say it all the time. Glad y'all made it ok. Good decision to turn around when in doubt.
It might feel like a "once in a lifetime" deal... but for us that live up here, we get to see it all too many times! I had a temp swing on labor day near where I live 2 years ago... where we started at 100 before noon, and an ice storm came in 4 hours later and it was 36 and windy blowing snow. Went back down the mountain and back into the 80's... Snow has happened every month of the year in Montana... I imagine this is common for Wyoming, Idaho, Washinton and Oregon too at high elevations.
I put mud flaps on my JL for the same reason, I disliked muddy door handles. They work great but mine are not easy to pull off, I will check out the ones you have.
That was sketchy. When I first saw this my mountaineering days come to mind do you know how old mountaineers get old? They learn when to call it a day. Spring snow is no joke, especially combined with mud and frozen ground. Made my hands sweat and I’m just on my treadmill watching made for good video though🙈 glad you didn’t die🍻
Another awesome adventure! Glad you guys were safe! Quick question: which cooper tires were your friends running? I run Milestars on my Jeep, but thinking of going a different route for the GX470. I was considering the Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trex, but may need to rethink that if that's what your friends were running.
Are you planning to do a walk around on the Super Pacific? Would love to hear your thoughts on it vs a GFC. If you have a sunrider top can you still fold it back with the Super Pacific?
I’ve carried a shovel for 10 years. Have not needed to dig myself out yet. But before that, that was a different story. If you’ve got it, hopefully you won’t need it.
Matt, you’ve had lots of outdoor clothing. You and I have talked about the amazing Salamon shoes. This series you’ve been wearing a lot more Cotapaxi layers. What’s made you start wearing that brand more? I like the brand, and I love the colors, but don’t really know how they are warmth, versatility and packability wise.
I lived in Calgary for 4 years. Over that time it snowed at least *once* in any month over that 4 year period. But not every month in every year. Make sense?
Snow in June Some Australians and Kiwis: perfectly normal Some Americans and Canadians : not unusual but still unwelcome Outback and Northern Australians, Southern and Southwestern Americans: ok wtf is happening

Idaho = shovel + chainsaw. Great series, awesome views. Thanks for taking us along.

Adventures like this are the greatest. All kinds of weather in one day. Love it.
Couldn't agree more!
Damn, that intense!!! Glad no one flipped their Jeep and you’re still alive 😊🎉
Same. lol.
Great job at stopping and reassessing your situation while going through that snowbank. So many people don't do that and they end of having a very bad day. Great job at not being stupider... 🙂
Hell’s Canyon is definitely bucket list worthy. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Matt and Cara, Some very sketchy moments. I’m glad you guys had a good time. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you for sharing. 🚙🚗
Wow, pucker factor 4.5 on a 4 scale. Serious Type 2 fun. Glad you all made it out. Awesome work to keep filming. Thanks for a great episode!
Awesome video folks! Well done! Crazy weather. Great to see Misti on the trail with you!
@@oldmanoldtruck ❤️
Seeing you both smiling with joy in the snow was awesome! Thank you for another great video ❤👊 PS - you didn't die! 😂

Every time I watch one of your videos it just makes me want to leave this 100 degree heat in TX and head north! Love that you take the puppies along!
DO IT!!!!
🤗🏆🙏💪😎
Thank you for sharing this
Beautiful territory
Glad you enjoyed it
I tell myself I miss the snow all the time. Then I see it in your video and say 'nah I can wait a little longer' haha
Absolutely beautiful. Wow. I can't believe there is that much snow in June...We look forward to seeing you both in Loveland at the Overland Expo👍
See you there!

Hi Matt! Sooo... When Hell's Canyon freezes over?? LOL! Quirky Mother Nature... cool trip! Bill
What a beautiful adventure! That is beautiful!! I LOVE your copilot! Adorable!!
Thank you so much!
I bought my mud flaps when I got my jeep. Love them. Rockblox also. It saves the folks windshield behind me when I’m transitioning from trail to road.

Great video. It looks like things got a bit spicy for a few minutes there! That fire tower was pretty dang scenic.

Love your videos man. BTW, Cara, you look great keep it up girl! We keep missing each other and I can't wait to hit a trail with you both one day. 🤙
THANK YOU Guys!!!! THIS WAS AWESOME ... I MUST go there now !!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

I tried that and showed me slipping off in the video.
That was nice. Thanks for the video.
I'm going to have to start making popcorn to go along with these longer, awesome video. That was fun. ❤❤
I love the videos if you can please do more with snow. The best video I seen yet.
I love the snow!!!
Those drone footage are breathtaking Matt. And the Blogging/comm with Cara is great. Different points of view. Hazel again is Outstanding🤘🤘
Thanks so much !!

Such an amazing day!!
We really like to see what other people think of our state. Enjoyed the way you are documenting your travels. Stay safe and keep creating
Thank you! Will do!
During fire season in Oregon you have to carry a full size shovel and a fire extinguisher on/in your rig.
I used to try using tiny collapsable shovels to save space but they were just too small to work very well when I needed them. I now carry a regular shovel with a mid-length handle. If you don’t already carry one it’s a good idea to add a 100’ winch line extension to your recovery gear. It’ll go a long way to reach anchor points where the trees are few and far between.

That’s awesome!!! Glad you guys are safe. As always great video and great adventuring.
Thanks so much!
Wow, you guys sure see some awesome places and stunning scenery. It must be hard to pick a favourite place. I sure can't.
It really is!
I was hoping y’all would pull out the shovels. Enjoyed the video
Awesome episode guys... Really enjoyed it.
Such a Beautiful place! Can’t wait to go!
Nice video love it hate to see winter in the summertime lol nice jeeps n toyota
Which liftkit n sz would u recommend for jeep wrangler JLU overland
Gorgeous rugged country! I've been camping near the Imnaha River which enters the Snake.
Hey Matt, wow that was intense...thought I saw a little fear in your eye. I was scared for you! Glad you didn't die!! Honestly love your videos. Keep them coming and stay safe.
Thanks. I definitely did. 😂

Every time I see your red Jeep I think, "Cool, Justin B McBride is with them this time."
😂😂
Great video! So beautiful and majestic!
Thank you very much!

Time to start shoveling a path for your passenger side tires in that drift to start with

Wow, thank you
Great video!!
Thanks!
🥶👍👍😃
It breaks my heart that this area (Idaho side) is on fire. So many memories here.
I've heard that was happening. Very sad!!
Are you planning to do a walk around on the Super Pacific? Would love to hear your thoughts on it vs a GFC. If you have a sunrider top can you still fold it back with the Super Pacific?

I know I just talked to y’all the other day and knew y’all were ok, but that still made me nervous! 😂😂😂

It is!

We love Cotapaxi and what they stand for. We may have a Cotapaxi addiction 😂. Their warmth is on par with other top brands.
Hell froze over in Hells Canyon!
Love this!!
THANKS!
You had some interesting adventures in this vlog
Glad you like them!
Great example of the Patagonias ability to hold a line when side hilling. Totally under rated capability with the tires….bit that was sketchy. 😅
That’ll make the butt pucker a bit!!
"Matt is longer and wider." Congratulations
😂
This one wins the comment section! 😂😂
“Snow falls in June” by Ryan Bingham 😂😂😂😂
I lived in Calgary for 4 years. Over that time it snowed at least *once* in any month over that 4 year period. But not every month in every year. Make sense?
I probably would have went for the shovel first and flattened out that last drift. 16:00 just my 0 experience opinion 😆
That’s what 8,000 ft in June gets out…all 4 seasons in one day.
Facts!!!
terraflex mud flaps have just one pins to remove them i like mines
How do find all of these places? I'm upping my patron sub!
I'm guessing someone forgot to tell you that idaho has bipolar weather
What is the meaning of the duck?
New TH-cam channel here. Great video we subbed and liked. New videos coming out soon in the process of making.
Awesome! Thank you!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures learning how to edit right now, it's not easy. Any suggestions and is it easier to do on the computer or the phone?
Snow in June
Some Australians and Kiwis: perfectly normal
Some Americans and Canadians : not unusual but still unwelcome
Outback and Northern Australians, Southern and Southwestern Americans: ok wtf is happening
Can you say again what suspension lift your running? Clayton?
Clayton on the Blue one and Metal cloak on the red.
Why don’t you mount a farm tank in the bed of your truck since you’re always running low?
Too heavy and way too big.
Hell froze over?
basically. LOL
Was that huckleberry or huckaberry?
I’m a Huckleberry 😊
You need to do more snow cause it's not as bad, ur just not adjusted to snow and how to deal with it cause you don't do it ever
I love snow. We just don’t get much in Arkansas.
His and her Gladdys! So glad you didnt go Disco or Subaru! Jeep trucks are getting a bad rap 'cept those who actually drive them...
The gladiator is the best jeep I’ve owned.
WTH!!! Girls shouldn't be spotting or maning winches. My goodness it could of been a complete 🤬
Are you actually serious? My wife can out wheel and out spot you every day of the week.
😂😂😂 you’d rather have equipment & hardly use it than not have it available & hope to god you don’t need it!!! 😬
This was painful to watch. Need some lessons on recovery.
Seems like we did great on the recoveries but I would love to hear what the experts who weren’t there have to say about it.
