Gun fire, mud, prime rib and whiskey, what an epic adventure! You do a great job filming, narrating and editing. I love the banter between you and your friends on the radio. Keep these adventures coming.
Your titles and credits in tacticool style was PEEFECT! What a cool adventure tire. Thanks for sharing. I’m always impressed by your skills and sometimes even your humor 😊
Hey - I do what I can..you know? 😂 I'd definitely put Jarbidge and the Red Dog on your list. Jase, the owner is born and raised in Jarbidge and you can't really get a more authentic remote town experience than having prime rib there!
I grew up recreating in that area. It's great to see it in your video. I especially liked seeing a quick glimpse of Salmon Dam at the end. I camped and fished there with my dad and Grandfather (Lud Drexler) back before the campground and boat launch (that carry his name) were built. I love your channel. Keep up the great videos, and as my grandfather said, "Always leave it better than you found it". Cheers!
Very very cool bit of info there. The dam was a total surprise. I had put away my cameras and was ready to just drive home…then we saw the Dam and I to shoot it. It’s really beautiful. Thanks for the great comment!
That looks like so much fun - the whole thing. Nothing like camping, drinking whiskey and then filling up on Prime Rib that someone else cooked. Count me in on your next trip there...
@@Venture2Roam yes, that was a lot of extra weight the Jeep and trailer were carrying around. 2 hrs to wash up - that must have cost a pretty penny as well. 😁
Remember first rule of traveling thru a military range especially at night. Don't Look like a target. We were at a field exercise at a range north of Las Vegas and unknown to us some folks had crossed into the range borders after dark. We came over a hill and we thought it was just a couple junked vehicles and were about to junk them some more. When a lady got out of back of truck for a potty break, luckily it showed up on thermal and night vision. Boy was she surprised when we walked up out of the dark, we waited until she was done first of course🤣
Exactly! This is why we turned on every light we had (front and back) and drove as fast as we could. I don't think they have moving targets on the range. I can kind of imagine how that woman you describe felt lol.
Will, I've been enjoying your videos! Fact is, you've gone, and recorded, an awful lot of places that are on my ToDo list. I'm just getting started and looking forward to my own explorations!
@@brianfitzpatrick4437 I think if you've been in it before...you know when to turn around...it only took 6 inches of mud on top of the trailer for me to "get it" lol.
@@Venture2Roam Haaaaaa, I think it took me 2 years to finally get all the mud out from under my pickup when I did it but damn it was fun. I really want to go try the prime rib in Jarbridge and drive through the bombing range, that looked really cool!
@@brianfitzpatrick4437 You should 100% go to Jarbidge and the Red Dog..well worth the trip. The bombing range is fun to drive through...even when it's not active. Hope you get a chance to get out there!
Mud is one of those things I have a love hate relationship with. It's fun to drive through, but cleaning it at the end never seems to make the mud worth it.
I know..I've thought of than many times. We weren't actually out to find the mud on this trip...we thought we'd be snow wheeling, but it warmed up right before we left.
Great editing. I’ve been through this area a few times and absolutely love it. My dad actually lived in Jarbridge for a while growing up. And I have a Voyager also now, so I guess I need to go back. Think some of those receiver mounted mud flaps would’ve helped with accumulation?
Awesome..and thank you! Those are great trailers! Yes a receiver mounted flap would have made a massive difference I think. You should def go back, such an authentic place.
I can't remember when it closes...but if it's closed, the Outdoor Inn will be open...and it's really cool too...I'm just a bit impartial to the Red Dog because it's got a really local vibe.
Agree 100%. Ryan is actually in the Air Gaurd, and a pilot himself...so he had the inside scoop and reassured us that they saw us coming a LOOOOONG way away...and that they had spotters, and that we'd be fine...still....hearing those things blast off overhead....I'll never forget it.
Any trailer would have been a mess in that mud. I am glad mine does not have any step fenders to collect mud in front of entry door. Or any steps or stab jacks that are attached during transit. Did you have any fresh water tank over flow splashing out ? FYI- I have a ostrich full size awning on my Trail Marker and Theo is the man. None of the craft off road builders step up the the ostrich awning quality. Try Camp Fire High West whisky made in my home town.
I think the biggest problem was my wide tires stick out past my fenders...so anything behind me get sprayed with mud...but those flat fenders just let it pile up. If I were towing on the regular I'd need some kind of mud flap...because it was not livable for any length of time with that mud. No water sloshing issues that I know of. The Ostrich is really really good...clearly I love mine. These trailers if you buy from XGrid come with a Bush Co awning...which is also super stout and well made..I'd love to see them use something from Theo though!
Ok, according to article 24 of the Overland Guys who go to crazy places Club code. Its been 7 days since you said I'll never do it again. You are now allowed to do it again without regret😂
Hey Will, nice video!! Love watching your adventures! Question, what is the name of Ryan's camper you toured with him in this video? We couldn't quite make out the name on the side.
Nice video-as much as I like driving in mud cleaning the gear off afterward can be a real challenge! One hard lesson is to learn that there is no shame in saying enough is enough and turning back around. It was great to see the Red Dog as one of the most important parts of any of our long trips is to find those iconic stopping points and intermingle with like minded travelers and share strories/ideas/travel updates etc. Oh, and whiskey at the end of the night is one of the great discoveries from time on the road-no refrigeration needed!
No refrigeration needed!!! Yep - I hate to turn around...but at the same time, you gotta know when to throw in the towel (for many reasons)...our consolation prize was sitting around camp hanging out...which was pretty dang good too.
It’s a great smoker actually…just needed to figure out how many wood chips to use: ALTERNIUM cocktail smoker kit... www.amazon.com/dp/B0B496YFTT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have to admit that the Gatling guns were AWESOME!!!! AMERICA 🇺🇸!!!!! the prime rib was EXCELLENT! And the whiskey was AMAZING!!! but the company could have been better. Just kidding!!! You guys are the BEST!!! 👊
I wish someone would invent a protection against mud and give it a unique name; mud guards or mud flaps. Its a crazy idea but if we put our minds together, I think we can comeup with something. 😂
That's one of the reasons we washed off as much as we could with buckets near the river before driving on to Jarbidge. I've never seen anything like that...luckily it was pretty warm overnight and everything came off in the spray and wash...but ya....never again lol.
@@Venture2Roam that totally makes sense. I am planning a motorcycle loop through there in the mid spring. Looks like it is a good idea to wait until it is fully dried out with that style mud.
Power wash will clean the trailer stop fretting. Can’t handle dirt don’t camp. Go in Special Forces they will teach you to eat and sleep in the mud. If you get out alive mud will never bother you🤪
😂😂😂. No special forces here…just average guys trying to get a little Prime Rib lol. The sprayer did clean most of it up…that poor poor spray wash stall!
Truth. People have given me a hard time for complaining about it...but they just don't know...it's just terrible...and dangerous if you're not really careful.
@@Venture2Roam No need to add smoke. Ardbeg is made using peat smoke as part of it production. It has a wonderful smoke forward flavor. It's what I recommend to people who say all they taste is burn in whisky.
We had unfinished business in Jarbidge..3 times we'd been there or tried to get there and NEVER had the Prime Rib.

I remember that time I took a trailer through mud... and spend 2hrs pressure washing it off lol.
Ahhhh...memories....
Gun fire, mud, prime rib and whiskey, what an epic adventure! You do a great job filming, narrating and editing. I love the banter between you and your friends on the radio. Keep these adventures coming.
Thank you so much! Lots more coming soon!!
Great video. Thank you for taking us along for the ride!
Thank you! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
Time for some mud flaps in the rear! 🤣
Thanks for the entertainment!!👍
Glad you liked it. Ya...I now know why people want mud flaps. I spent like $125 at the spray and wash...would have been cheaper to get flaps!
@@Venture2Roam 🤣🤣🤣 Wow!!
Simply having mud block your daily function stuff while on trail is what I would not like. Was a mess. Your a trooper👍
that stranahans stuff is pretty good 👍. looks like a great time was had.
A muddy muddy great time lol.
Wheeling with friends, a perfect sipping whiskey and a prime rib dinner. That is an epic weekend!
Thank you...it really was a blast...those guys are the best.
Your titles and credits in tacticool style was PEEFECT! What a cool adventure tire. Thanks for sharing. I’m always impressed by your skills and sometimes even your humor 😊
Thanks!! I had fun playing with the opening. I take your comment as high praise…really appreciate it!
Earned a subscriber today - classic video made me feel like I was right there
Yes!!!!! Stoked to hear it. Thank you for the sub, hope you enjoy the channel!
Ryan's comment at the end there... too funny, 😆. Good stuff Will!
Ryan is such a jerk. I don’t know why we keep letting him come out with us. 😆.
Thanks for the video that looks like fun will try to make it there . Love prime rib thank you Don
Thanks for watching and leaving such a nice comment!!
I've got to stop watching your videos - You're making my "need to camp here" list longer and longer every time! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video and adventure! That mud was intense! Thanks for posting this up!
I've sworn off mud lol. Still getting it off my rig! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment...so glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video 🎉 the mud was crazy
Thank you! Never again. That mud was like nothing I've ever seen.
Nice video Will! Was so close to Jarbridge one time when I was in Three Creek, ID area, I will get there someday!
Let's go together Mike! I now know the worst way to drive there in January lol!
@Venture2Roam For sure! Just remind me to put extra wide mud flaps on!!! 😂
Anytime @Venture2Roam says he will never do it again, I expect to see an encore.
Lol...I guess if the people want mud...by God we'll give them MUD! 😂 But ya...I never want to have to deal with that much mud again.
Looks like helluva good time
It really was..the guys were just texting about it after watching the video...that's a hard one to forget!

WOW! that’s some ridiculous mud!
It was insane. Thanks for watching!!
Awesome thanks for sharing with us! We like to go to Roseworth - Ceder creek ice fishing!
I sure hope you stopped at Busters in Hollister for lunch on your way out. It's a requirement, just saying. The rib eye is the best 👌.
We passed right by it…will give it a look next time!
Will, I've been enjoying your videos! Fact is, you've gone, and recorded, an awful lot of places that are on my ToDo list. I'm just getting started and looking forward to my own explorations!
That’s awesome! Here’s to getting out there!!
They make these things called mud flaps, that catch mud before it sprays and collects on your vehicle and trailer
😂😂
That owyhee mud is something else! You'll never get rid of all of it haha.
It's one of those things you never really know about until you experience it. Mud Flaps FTW! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
I use to love mudding years ago. Not so much no more! I hate the clean up after…
I’m with you…I never really seek it out…but it’s hard to avoid in the winter here.
Dive for cover!!! So fun out there!
I was about to do that lol!
Another very fun video guys and you're making me very antsy to explore your neck of the woods even more!!
Thank you! Jarbidge is great...but next time, I want either frozen roads, or dry roads, I'm done with the mud lol.
@@Venture2Roam I've been in mud similar in eastern Colorado storm chasing and I got out of there about as quick as you guys did!!

Ya I would have loved to have had that trip and NOT had to clean the mud...OMG what a mess.
Rock tamers or some other removable mud flaps would be a good idea.
I know..I've thought of than many times. We weren't actually out to find the mud on this trip...we thought we'd be snow wheeling, but it warmed up right before we left.
This is the best! ❤
Thank you!
Oh that’s cool, what are those friends’ names 😂😂😂 Cool vid Will 👍
Thanks Christoff! Ya, the banter like never stops with those guys...they are a ton of fun.

Thank you! Still cleaning the mud from the Jeep…
I was going to say find a hot spring, then you said it
Lol…magic words for NOT finding a hot spring. I’m batting 0 whenever I say that lol.
Love the channel. Awesome video 😊
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Looks like the next purchase are some serious mud flaps for your Jeep!
Ya, I'm never doing that again.
Have a huge fall trip planned in that area with the crew .. Hopefully Red Dog is open
I can't remember when it closes...but if it's closed, the Outdoor Inn will be open...and it's really cool too...I'm just a bit impartial to the Red Dog because it's got a really local vibe.
That looked grim
Be glad you were not there...still cleaning.
Trust me, the pilots can see you. You weren't in any danger.

When will you do a long term review on your Desert Armor RTT?
Soon. I have had it in all 4 seasons now, so I'm starting to put together the review.

Good thing your "mud shovel" has a lifetime, no questions asked, guarantee. :D
You nailed it. Esee-6. Love it.
That was disgusting. LOLOL
Lol. Yes. Yes it was. Now I have a point of reference when someone says “it could be worse”.
Im smoking some whiskey tonight, But on by back porch like a looser
Something tells me you’re not gonna feel like a loser tonight 😂
What is the poncho/blanket thing Ryan is wearing? I couldn't find it online.
Here you go: a.co/d/gtcm0cI
Is that a Chris Reeves knife?
It's an Esee 6. I love it...use it almost every day I'm camping.
What hot spring were you looking for ?
Indian hot springs. It was just too muddy to continue with that trailer.
Mud flaps!
😂😂😂. That definitely would have helped some.
You know after this, you should really ask for a pressure washer for your birthday
Dude…I passed on one right before this trip!!! Dumb.
I need to know where this car wash is...lol
😂😂😂. I don’t want to say because they might come after me…although I spent like $100 there, so we should call it even I think 😆
