I'm almost positive I passed you guys heading out as we were heading in on the Princeton side. It pissed rain all weekend and some snow up top, it was a blast
Always did the trail in the reverse of what you did (Dicks Cabin first and end at Lodestone). Curious on how it went coming down the hills past Lodestone your route? Great video. Even for a Bronco.. hahaha Kidding.. I have seen a few trailers there but normally at least as wide as the Jeep.
I love when Jeep people say you can't make it through trails. Two years ago I took a 2007 Land Rover through the whipsaw on 30s, last year I took the same land Rover, but a little bigger tires at 32inches. never got stuck or had issues either time. also climbed memorial rock on both tire sizes. The Broncos looked great! I love the trailer!
That’s cause the whipsaw has been overused by everyone. 40 yrs ago it was a challenge with 35. We can thank social media for that. Not to mention a lot of people don’t know how to tread lightly
You are a brave man taking a 6 month old and a 2 yr old wheeling. I've pulled my hair out on road trips with my own kids when they were little.And that was on highways with plenty of opportunities for rest stops along the way 😂
@@SnowPiercer1975 yea, it’s definitely a work out on the trail. But thankfully they do pretty well in the car. My 2 year old loves off-roading and the bronco so that helps
Very cool video, I seen u guys out there . I was in the blue tacoma in the rain that climbed the big hill after the ranger and bronco😊 u guys all had nice rigs. We tented it and did the whole trail in the rain both days . There was nothing really challenging there even in the rain . Ide personally rate that trail a 3/10 in difficulty in the rain . We did do a trail out by vernon 2 days later that was about a 7/10 and was about a 80km stretch. All in all it was a epic 6 day run . Glad to see u all made it out and no break downs .
@@jasonkussman8328 heck yea I remember seeing ya briefly. Yea I passed a few people that said there was a bunch of rock crawling. Never found it lol. Honestly an easy trail compared to my normal stuff like the Rubicon, just not personally used to rainy camping (I’m from Cali where it doesn’t rain). Sure was an epic trail though! I just don’t recommend a floppy trailer ;)
The trailer was a great idea, just needs to be wider and on torsion axles in my opinion . The hitch u were using too is not the greatest as it allows for complete roll . 70 degree flex would be max ide be ok with . Anything more could leave u in a predicament not just on a trail but the highway should u blow a tire .
@@jasonkussman8328 very good points. I’m starting my research! I’m honestly hoping to not have to wheel with the trailer again anytime soon though haha
Like the vid. Rule number 1. Dont bring trailers. 2 Travel light travel right. 3 just get a few tarps and make a big shelter and fire when its raining. No use in hurrying to beat the rain. After all your canadian. Crack a beer and deal with it. Im from washington if it raining we just drink more beer and smoke weed. Camping while its raining is kinda happens here. Another rule. Stay in one spot for a day or 2 or 3 days relax and enjoy. Why be on the go. Drink beer and sit by the fire. Dont need to drive all day just to get to the next spot. Then while your at it you can look over your rigs for any issues instead of something going on while your on the trail. Shit happens i know. Preventive maintenance is a plus. Did i mention not to bring a trailer?
@@Pieguy73 yup, first time trying a trailer. 6 month old and 2 year old require extra gear (pack up crib, sleeping gear, toys, etc) so we didn’t fit for our ten day trip without it. Definitely gonna make adjustments. All of our sleeping gear had gotten soaked the night before so we didn’t feel like setting it up with the young ones in the rain again. Definitely not properly equipped for the kind of rain. Not from Canada and we don’t get all that here. I’m all down for dealing with it on my solo trips for sure! Just not with the family all tired and wet. I love relaxing on the trail but yea. Same point above ;)
@@Yippynutsmacker not sure which vehicles you are referring too. But I’m pretty sure most vehicles can complete it just fine :) it really wasn’t a hard trail minus a poorly setup trailer on my part.
You were right about a shit night. The night before you guys camped at that lake, we set up by the outhouse, I was backed in across from it in that opening, next night we camped out by Kelowna, it was nice out that way, we found some crazy trails out there. Probably in some ways worse then the whipsaw.
@@YippynutsmackerI’d love to get out there and spend more time. We were on ten days at that point of driving around. Next time I wanna go solo without the little kids and do some more. I’m planning Alexander McKenzie hopefully
Man, looks like a great time! I'm working on an off-road trailer build right now. Thanks for sharing your mishaps.
Another great video!!

Oh wait. Now I remember! The ones playing on that hill!
