Who else has embraced some winter camping? Let's hear about your experiences!
I like watching you do it. lol
Happy New Year Michael to you and your family! Thanks for sharing such an incredible adventure with your mom! Winter camping is amazing! The tough part is planning and being able to find areas and Forest Roads that are still accessible during the winter to even winter camp. I also live in Washington and love watching your adventures. Can you maybe do a segment or provide more info on future winter camping videos on finding accessible areas for winter camping? That seems to be the biggest challenge for wanting to overland and camp year round. Thanks again for your videos! Big fan!
Winter camping is awesome. I did a few days in mostly Oregon a little while ago and it was epic, different spot every day that I randomly found on google earth and luckily was able to make it too. The quiet and solitude of winter camping is magical.
That’s awesome that your mom goes out with you, it looked like you both had an amazing time.
Great trip, you all got a lot out of it and great dry, light snow. I loved the drone footage as always. What was the temp there? It was in the teens where we were in Bend. I've done some backpacking trips through the Enchantments in the winter snow, good gear and preparation is key, and the scenery and photography opportunity was out of this world. I've taken my daughters winter camping near Leavenworth for New Years, night sledding with some other campers and snowshoeing around Lake Wenatchee. Hot chocolate is a must! =)
Happy New Year and thank you for the support! It certainly can be difficult to find suitable campsites in the winter months. Oftentimes the weather and current road conditions can make what once was an easy driving road in the summer a very unique one in the winter as we experienced on this trip. I'll try and shine some more light on that topic come future episodes, thanks again!
This is the best small channel on youtube!
Sincerely appreciate the kind words, thank you so much!
This is what overlanding is all about. Spending time with your loved ones and enjoying the outdoors!
Couldn't agree more, thank you so the support!
Great video! Its super awesome that you put family first and you get to spend some quality time with your mom uninterrupted! The drone shots in your video this time were breathtaking!
Thanks Wokker! Always a fun time having mom join along, even better to have help getting the truck unstuck... 😉 👍
Quite beautiful!
Thank you once again for another awesome video! I’m so happy that you get to enjoy doing this with your Mom. That looked like a great way to celebrate New Year’s Eve! Looking forward to another year of enjoying your adventures and wishing you all the best!
Sincerely appreciate it, thank you for all the continued support! Can't wait to share what we have planned for 2022!
Just posted a video about getting stuck in the snow within the Tahoe National Forest near Truckee, CA! The Lake Tahoe basin received a record 18 feet of snow in December, the most recorded in 142 years. Great video showing recovery in the snow!
Thanks for taking us along and Happy New Year
Appreciate the support, thank you! Happy New Year!
Hi Buddy, Meme is amazing. Quite the meal for two. Thank you for sharing this memorable adventure. Loved the trouble-shooting in the deep snow. Maverick looks good covered in snow. You two rock!
Hey Wayne! It was certainly a fantastic trip and great way to ring in the new year! Can't wait to get back out on the trails, who knows might occur another snow recovery! 😉
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Another amazing video, so thank you. Absolutely love the part where you told your mom “no bad words” super funny 😆 It is soooo cool that your mom goes out with you!!!
Happy New Year! Haha, always a great time having her on trips but gotta keep the videos family friendly 😉 Thank you for the continued support!
Your videos are some of the best on TH-cam. Stay safe out there
Sincerely appreciate the support, thank you!
Another one, enjoyed this a bunch. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the support!
Freakin awesome to have an adventurous mom. Cool content. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the support! Always a good time having her along!
Absolutely awesome.
Thank you so much!
Awesome camping trip with your Mom! I wish I could do that with my mom too. She is just as adventurous as you. Simply amazing scenery. Mad respect. Cheers and safe travels!
Sincerely appreciate it, thank you! Truly blessed to be able to share these moments with Mom, even better she helps getting the rigs unstuck and throws down on meals... haha.
Time outdoors with family is all that matters, no matter the trip duration or destination.
Have fun out there and thank you for the support!
You definitely have a cool Mom! I can see where you get your positive attitude...great video!
Thank you for the support! She is all about the adventure, nice to have her along on trips 😉
Looks like it was a cool trip
A Tacoma a cool mom and a awesome pup. What a great video!
Thank you so much!
Great way to spend the holiday - thanks for sharing the gorgeous country! And that propane fire ring is dope - my wife got me their new smaller model for Christmas. Looking forward to making memories like yours w it. Keep vlog-camping on!
Thank you for the continued support! The propane fireplace has been a charm on endless occasions, absolutely love it! I'm sure it'll suit you well for the many upcoming trips. 😉 👍
Beautiful campsite!!
Thanks for sharing a great adventure. I really like that area you were in, one of our favorites. Ironically we got stuck in the snow about 100 yds before that spot last time. Keep the great videos coming.
Thank you for the support! It's a fantastic place to explore year-round and with the snowfall I can easily see where getting stuck wouldn't be hard to do. Have fun on the upcoming trips, cheers!
Looks like fun..good on ya for getting out!👍😀
It was a fantastic time! Great company, good weather, and celebrating New Years out on the trail 👍
Wow, I really think you are the reigning quality all-around WA overland TH-cam VLOG now. Really, really nicely done. Love the quiet focus on the natural sounds. The drone shots are superb - the Hamma Hamma River Valley never looked so good! You're also hitting it out of the park on the Peninsula. The Eastern side is notorious for a lack of good camping spots but you've found some good ones.
What perfect weather for that trip, as you alluded to, once it starts raining or gets per- 32*F around here the snow is terrible and it becomes exponentially more risky to drive on/through it.
That Oscar's Hideout is a top notch bag and in my short list. It was great to see one of the newer versions at work.
Those RTTs look great for our weather and foliage scrape. Your Mom's Annex looks fantastic.
Thank you so much! It was such a fun trip and made my job much easier when I can just point and shoot the camera haha. The Olympics are my go to just for this very reason, by being able to see a wide variety of terrain and landscape no matter what time of year you go. Even better when I can enjoy trips like this with family. As always, thank you for the continued support!
@@ConquestOverland I've always liked the Olympics but have had difficulty finding really great spots. I've spent my fair share of nights in some uninspiring spots. You have had good luck there for sure.
Great video! Beautiful snow covered forests. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the support!
Really awesome video :) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the support, much appreciated!
You are truly blessed my friend , awesome video and what fun.
Time with family is always a priority, absolutely love going on trips like this. Thank you for the continued support!
Getting stuck made the adventure! ⛄
Couldn't agree more! Fantastic way to practice the recovery techniques and put some gear to work 😉 👍
Thank you for the support!
Another great video!
Thank you so much!
AWESOME
Appreciate it!
Fantastic video! Loved it!
Much appreciated, thank you!
Beautiful landscapes!
Gotta love the Pacific Northwest landscapes!
wow thats awesome a very nice way to bring in the new year.I wish i would have thought of doing something like the same as you did.Looks like maverick had the time of his life as well take care c-ya
Was an incredible trip and fantastic way to start the new year! Definitely plan for something similar this year, hardly anyone else out on the trail. Appreciate the support, thank you!
Beautiful
Appreciate it, thank you!
Washington is a great place to live just not in Seattle..lol
😉 👍
Moved from Seattle to Florida around 20 years ago. Moving back to PNW next year. It will be nice to experience all 4 seasons again!!! 😉
Stumbled across this channel, great content! “No bad words ☝🏻lol”
Haha, gotta keep it family friendly! Appreciate the support, thank you!
Awesome 👍
Thank you!
Good call on the Woodinville. Great stuff!!
It a nice addition to try! Definitely been enjoying it so far 👍
Happy New Year! This was an absolutely beautiful video and would have loved to go wheeling in it. I just camped one night at about 32 degrees and that was more than cold enough so not sure I'd really want to camp in that...lol. This was really an awesome adventure for you and one you'll be able to look back on for a long time with that time with just you and your mom.
Happy New Year! Was such an incredible time and so glad we were able to celebrate 2022 with a good ol winter camping trip. I definitely hear ya on the cold weather, always the most difficult when initially getting into the cold sleeping bag... 😉 👍
@@ConquestOverland Try putting some boiling water in a nalgene & throwing it into your bag. There are some other similar prep tips - I use electronic hand warmers & those reusable chemical hand warmers (HotSnapZ) with my kids in the freezing cold. I have the kids use them in their bags then I reactivate them by boiling them (so they're ready in the am) and then use that boiling water in a Nalgene for myself.
It's amazing and nice rtt!!
Thank you!
Dayummmm that Maverick is a good look'n pup.
10 months old and almost pushing 90lbs! 😆
Good video. 1000th like!
Wooohoo!
Lol we got into the same mess!!! I love it
Haha, that's awesome! If you go out prepared, it's always a fun time!
Awesome setup
Thank you very much!
Awesome video, you're Mom is a worker and good driver too...oh and she can cook too looks so yummy
She certainly throws down, always a great time having her along on the trips!
For the first time, I recognize the area this takes place in! But don't worry, I'll keep it to myself 😁 it is best to discover your own spots anyways.. it adds to the charm of offroading. Regardless, maybe I will see you out on the trails sometime!
Enjoy the ride😁😁
Haha, it's certainly a beautiful and fun area to explore year-round! Amazing how drastically different places can appear with heavy snowfall blanketing the ground. Can't wait to get back out there for another adventure! Have fun and we'll see ya out there. 👍
Happy New Year Michael
Happy New Year! Can't wait to share what we all have in store for 2022!
Ya this last weekend we gave it a go however here in Washington the good spots we like to camp at were closed or snow was mixed good powder to icy. Watched a few vehicles stuck making the trail impassable. We didn't get to camp at all. I tend to not push it too much with just one vehicle. I'm sure there are much more trails we just haven't been able to explore. Good video
Awesome vid! I bet if u were to slowly back up on that bridge u coulda gotten out! That fluffy snow is the best 👌
Probably, but it was a fun excuse to use the recovery gear... 😉 Thank you for the support!
@@ConquestOverland this is very true aha any excuse to use recovery gear is fun 🤘
Digging thesw mother son trips
Always a fun time having her along! 👍
now thats some dark roast haha
Definitely gave the nice jolt of morning caffeination! 😉
As a mother of two boys it is incredibly sweet that you camp with you mom .. love it! ❤️
I’m curious about your mom’s set up
I see she has an iKamper with a room down below as well? Will you give a tour of her set up?
It's always a great time having her along on trips, even better when she's right there helping with the recovery!
I can say the annex room for the iKamper tent is incredible to have! Give a great space to host gear, get out of inclement weather, privacy room, or even cook easy meals with the great ventilation it has. I'll plan to add more of a walk through of it in a future video though for more of a quick glimpse, check out this prior episode (6:10) mark: th-cam.com/video/ETgYtL5lgm4/w-d-xo.html
@@ConquestOverland will u be including a walk around of her rig?
In the coming time, sure!
Lovely video. Looks like a solid winter camp. Do you like those front runner camp chairs?
Thank you for the support! Love the chairs, hate the price (way too spendy for what it is). But I do enjoy how compact they get and sturdy support they offer.
Watta cool mom.
She's all about the adventures! 👍
@@ConquestOverland I tried to get my mom to just go on a day trip with me, she wasnt having it. "My spine can take all the off-roading" to be exact lol.
Super cool video, and love the quality of the shots. What’s the light bar you have on your bumper?
Thank you so much for the support! The light bar is the Baja Designs S8 in amber 30".
This area looks so cool? Where is this? I have to go camping there in the summer now! So gorgeous 😍
Locations and trip details for current & past trips are one of the benefits for our Patreon supporters 😉 👍
Nonetheless thank you for watching!
I liked this video and thought you did a nice job of telling a story. I was impressed with the overloading bag you featured. How did you secure the bag from Last US Bag to your Tacoma? Thanks -
Thank you for the support! The Last US Bag, Oscar's Mobile Hideout, is a solid multi-use bag. I've used it for a wide variety of needs. You can easily secure it using their provided buckle system that loops under the tailgate/ over the top and secures in place. Haven't had any issues so far!
Was that momma overland with the first curse word on this channel!?
She official owns that title now! 😂
🤭 apologies …😉
@@Campchefmom haha like mother like son
@@Campchefmom It was hilarious to see. I've done annual overlanding trips with my Mom for the past 20 years, she's 76 now & we still hit the back country in Utah for a week or so every year (except the last 2 due to Covid). I learned to curse from her myself. Also, love seeing your JGC, my Mom drove a 2006 & 1994. She LOVED the 2006 - she has a 2018 Toyota 4Runner Off-Road and all I hear from her are complaints about how it isn't as good as her 2006 JGC. That QuadraTrac is definitely superior to Toyota's part time system for inclement weather and snow on road. Love seeing your truck and your Mom & Son adventures.
@@TheKPDX thank you for the kind words and for sharing your experiences with your mom. Priceless memories to always cherish! 🙏
We just did a winter camp trip using our OPUS camping trailer in green water area. We didn't film much on this trip as it was a shakedown trip for the trailer.
Oh right on! Have heard nothing but great things on the OPUS trailer. How did the shakedown trip with it go?
@Conquest Overland worked great. If you ever want to do an overnight some time to check it out, I am local. In Kitsap County.
You should do a camping gear review of the things you recommend
I'm slowly working towards incorporating more product reviews and honest feedback, feel it helps with those looking into certain gear for the first time or seeking to make a change.
what app is that balance thingy? thx!
just now saw the video and its beautiful! Also was wondering what size tire do both of yall run?
Thank you for the support!
Tacoma tire size: 285/70/R17
Jeep tire size: 265/60/R18
Watch out for Tree Wells.
Great video. Just wondering what kind of radios are you using for communication.
Thank you! The radios are just the Midland brand:
www.amazon.com/GXT1000VP4-Channel-GMRS-Two-Way-Radio/dp/B001WMFYH4/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=midland+walkie+talkie&qid=1643324525&sprefix=midland%2Caps%2C160&sr=8-3
which Toyota is that and what is the height from the ground up to the closed tent?
Awesome video as always! Question, it’s ok to pull that hard using the tow hooks?
Thank you! The hooks are attached to the frame and rated as such, for a snatch recovery I feel completely comfortable using them as intended.
Definite advantage of the JGC's built in rated hooks. That pull was a little abrupt but it's hard to get it just right and the snow helped by decreasing lateral friction. Kinetic rope will absorb a bit more of the shock but it's much bulkier to store and more expensive.
Mm that spot look like the the place David was just at A few days ago having breakfast at but nevertheless great trip thanks for sharing mite want to In stall a winch on your mom vehicle too
Thanks Brian!
Where is GFC? What kind of skillet do you use on your everest stove? I have the same on and use a vector stainless steel skillet but would want something that heats a little more even.
Got some catching up to do... GFC info here (2:30) mark: th-cam.com/video/k285mzLXF2A/w-d-xo.html
The skillet info: Mercari griddle model IMUSA 19x11.5
@@ConquestOverland great explanation. Thanks for the answer!
Nice video. Is there a reason you are snatching the vehicles out like that instead of a gradual pull?
There wasn't enough traction in the snow for a gradual pull and it would have left the recovery vehicle spinning it's wheels with the potential of getting stuck itself. While it may seem excessive on camera, the snatch rope is intended for such recoveries with the kinetic energy it stores with the elastic/ stretching ability when put under tension. The only variable factor is ensuing the hookup/ connection points can withstand such dramatic energy (which they are in our case). I've been able to overcome many situations between just a snatch rope and traction boards ever before needing the winch, all part of the continued learning practice.
Thank you for watching and the support!
@@ConquestOverland Just a minor point as it may be confusing to newcomers, but I believe you were using a kinetic strap not a rope, there's a difference - though I often use the terms interchangeably myself.
where is this in washington?
What light strip do you have on the awning?
It's actually the factory light built into the ARB awning 😉
@@ConquestOverland It looked like it cycled through amber/orange - that must be new. You'll love that setting for keeping insects down plus it's less jarring.
Great video. How come your mom drove separately?
It’s fun to drive my own rig and experience the trail on my own 😊
What kind of dog hammock is that ?

Awesome video. But those wildpeaks do not perform well in deep snow
Haha, given it's an A/T tire it held its own for our needs and for the daily driving aspect. Perhaps we can try an M/T down the road...
@@ConquestOverland you can air down those tires to 10-15 psi and you will notice a huge difference. In the video they didn’t look very deflated so I assume you only aired down to 20-25psi.
@@ConquestOverland As you know, the Falken WIldpeaks are 3 Peak rated and a pretty decent snow tire. I don't run them but know many who do and they're an excellent all around choice. MTs are terrible with our rain. I'm going to run them on my summer offroad toy but wouldn't use them for year round driving or general road driving - especially with the back and forth miles you put on.
What happed to the GFC?
You got some episode catching up to do... start at 2:30 mark: th-cam.com/video/k285mzLXF2A/w-d-xo.html
Gotta say I cringed real hard when you floored it on your maxtrax 😬 I haven’t used mine yet but I’ve heard of them being melted and ruined by that. Hope yours are ok.
Haha, probably was a bit more aggressive than I should have been but they came out unscathed and in perfect working order, thanks for the concern! 😉 👍
THIS
Ko2> at3w .... I want ko2s back on my tundra pro
I got Mickey Thompson's Baja Boss they are snow rated too
I’d never go back to KO2. Open country AT3’s are amazing
@@JamesBerkey That's good to hear, I'm planning on Toyo AT3s for my 2 "Grand Touring" trucks, the 5th Gen 4Runner and an old QX4. Looks like a great all around tire - much like the AT3. BFG needs to update the KO2 pretty badly (I am putting KM3s on my toy)
@@TheKPDX I had two separate sets of KO2's they both became slick in rain, snow, mud, after like 3000km on them. It may not be everyones experience, but it is mine. I have seen a ton of people love the KO2 but not a lot in the PNW
@@JamesBerkey Yeah, I have alot of desert and CO mountain driving in my past and the KO2 was the premier tire for that at the time. I just think it's now outdated. Wet traction matters alot to me here in the PNW because, except for my summer toy, you're going to have to put a lot of wet road under you to get there and back (& probably in the summer some too). Our T4R crossed the West between Kansas City & Seattle with a high concentration of it's time in SW Utah. I'd lean more AT for it but I think the Toyo AT3 will do nicely. My "new" OEM+ build will see alot more street time doing chores but I'm thinking Toyo AT3 for it as well. How have you found the Toyos behave on our wet roads?
👍👍 6:05 so far its 1-1😂. 11-05-23

I think that jeep would do better if it was a 4runner 😁 lol
