As a manual jeep driver, I must say your wife needs to trust you more on the wheel. Panicking the way she did on those tight turns would create more drama and driver can lose concentration. Thank goodness this wasn’t the case, great vid.
Dead right. The driver is driving, not the passenger. It's one thing for the driver to ask the passenger about clearance or other such, but passengers should not be offering advice or instruction. I understand that when people are nervous they tend to yabber away to cover their anxiety but it can be very distracting for a driver. I admire this man's forbearance. Good perspective.
I was on Engineer pass Saturday 9/24... I think I'll stick to the easy stuff. I don't have the nerves to go on Black Bear, but one of these days I'll do it. You guys are great!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. The wife is obviously a Jeeper. I love that. Quite the gamer. I actually talked to Matt and his wife from Bleepin Jeep this year at Bantam about their adventure on Black Bear. When I see him next year I will pass along that he was fondly referred to as "what's his face". He will get a laugh from that. Keep Jeepin and be safe.
“That was a good line, that was a perfect line”… “Do I have this thing on Pause, I’m going to have to get get pissed if I did”. LOL. She must be related to Aunt Bethany from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation..
This is definitely on my list. I'm and extremely competent off roader with 40 plus years experience. I'd like to take my H2 over the pass, has it been done before? I've seen some vids of full size pickups make it, albeit with some difficulty.
You'd be fine. Just take as many reverses as you need for the switchbacks and don't stomp the brakes when going down the steps, use slow forward momentum
Went thru with my Honda CRV in July , stopped at the summit , chatted with the 'cool jeepsters' and had a chuckle as they thought they were real outdoors toughies.
"I told you, if it's a 8 point turn who gives a crap." Lol, that made me laugh 😂. Awesome video. This is a definite bucket list for me. "When we get down there where the trees are I need to pee" I would have replied, "Oh wow, look at that waterfall."
You possess a great deal of calmness or you're scared $hi+less of your wife. I believe I would have had her walk down. I'm glad you survived and made it down the pass as well. You should consider stopping in the wider areas and let the motos pass you.
I would have stripped down to my underwear and soaked no matter the temp, like a polar plunge. I'm from alberta canada so cold ain't nothing new to me.
I just couldn’t watch it all with audio, but with due respect to the driver, she’s trusting you to keep her safe! But she needs to chill 😮 and let you drive, you did a fantastic job driver! Oh and I’ve driven Black Bear; 1991 in a brand new GMC Jimmy, what a hoooot!!!
Was out there the last two weeks of September. Aspens were turning beautifully. I just want to know what it is you were driving?? I was out there with a '93 YJ
Trust your spotter. I've driven manual for close to 40 years and they will roll forward as well as backward. If your spotter says stop, why do they need to say it anymore? Awesome support, she got you through some lines that I am sure scared you.
😅y u had this much worry? it's our normal roads in Afghanistan in mountain area. if you can not believe it you can search for it and you will face more dangerous than this
No shame in being nervous....if you aren't nervous going down Black Bear Pass then you must be brain-dead. My wife and I are doing the Alpine Loop this summer but since we have a Power Wagon Black Bear pass is off the list.
Great video and the Rovers in front of you were awesome. Just need to get the old lady a Xanax next time and a couple sticks of gum to chew on, with all due respect of course.
Actually the stopping gives a good chance to relax and look around, take it in. You really cant look around when driving with a drop off on one side and an wall on the other.
Very cool.
I've done it twice. And after listening to all that yapping I know now why I did it alone! Hahaha.
God! I would drive off the edge on purpose if this was my passenger 😂
🤣🤣
For real

Good perspective.
My wife does the same thing. It drives me crazy
Living vicariously through you guys is good enough for me!!!
Great POV of the descent! The commentary was priceless!!!
How many flinched when she aka nervus Nelly..yell STOP ........🤣🤣
How Many Times Did You Contemplate Pushing Her Out The Door?
Loved the video and your commentary! Thanks for sharing!
I was on Engineer pass Saturday 9/24... I think I'll stick to the easy stuff. I don't have the nerves to go on Black Bear, but one of these days I'll do it. You guys are great!
Great drive without spotter except your wife :) ! You give us the full perspective of the trail. Thanks much
This video shows the steepness of the Steps section better than most I've seen.
I thought so too
I have a ball gag you can borrow for your next wheeling trip...
She makes me nervous just watching, I told my wife if she did that I would make her get out and walk.
That’s some tight turns with steep drops! Thanks for sharing.
Just did Black Bear Pass last week. Your wife was a lot cooler than mine would have been. Glad she didn't take this ride Haha!
I loved your video beautiful place for my next adventure
That was epic, I love the soundtrack!
bro i was laughing hard at the commentary

That’s funny we watch a lot of his videos and use some of his sayings, like clean up till you find the missing tool.
Next time leave the woman at 😢home. She would drive anyone crazy. A couple of years ago I drove my Dodge 4 x 4 down this road.
Great video and footage, sorry, but omg that women…. FYI, AirPods have excellent noise cancellation.
Good vid! I did this in the early 80s. Wish I had your manual.
That's right. Don't distract the driver abt that helicopter!!!😄
“That was a good line, that was a perfect line”… “Do I have this thing on Pause, I’m going to have to get get pissed if I did”. LOL. She must be related to Aunt Bethany from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation..
Lmfao right. At this point Jeep’s need to be single seaters
It looks like they added a new line around the section the vehicles with independent front suspensions were rolling on like FJ's and new Broncos.
Best POV of Black Bear Pass on the infernet.
GOOD STUFF ! I THINK I SOILED MY SHORTS WATCHING THIS.
Thanks for the audio
Stop,stop,stop so funny 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is definitely on my list. I'm and extremely competent off roader with 40 plus years experience. I'd like to take my H2 over the pass, has it been done before? I've seen some vids of full size pickups make it, albeit with some difficulty.

It's a good thing you took her along. You wouldn't have been able to complete the trip if she weren't riding along.
Grate place but scary that bear pas is one way trail thanks for the video
I enjoyed the commentary so much😆.
Great video. Beautiful scenery, but why in Hell did you take that woman with you? I would have made her get out and walk it.
Went thru with my Honda CRV in July , stopped at the summit , chatted with the 'cool jeepsters' and had a chuckle as they thought they were real outdoors toughies.
When we get down here with the lower areas with trees, I need to pee😂🤣😂🤣
"I told you, if it's a 8 point turn who gives a crap." Lol, that made me laugh 😂. Awesome video. This is a definite bucket list for me.
"When we get down there where the trees are I need to pee" I would have replied, "Oh wow, look at that waterfall."
Very nice
부럽습니다 저도 자동차로 산을 넘고 강을 건너 다니고 싶어요

Where can I get the T-Shirt that says, "That was the perfect line, Dan"?
Lmfao!
yes, dunkin you head is a right of Passage on Black Bear, Good job!
I would have stripped down to my underwear and soaked no matter the temp, like a polar plunge. I'm from alberta canada so cold ain't nothing new to me.

Have to rewind it to start from beginning.

Was out there the last two weeks of September. Aspens were turning beautifully. I just want to know what it is you were driving?? I was out there with a '93 YJ

Your wife was very entertaining. She’s a keeper.
Enjoy the video and views but The sound track its what I love the most
Nice driving and great footage. With that said, i would find a bus station for the passenger. You are a patient fella.
Love BBP
очень круто!
Are you driving a jeep? it's short wheel based why so afraid? I've seen some drive their power wagons there.
The voice on your Nav system is hilarious 0:06 on
Do you live here in Colorado? :)
No, we trailered it from NC and hit Moab.
The poor lady was terrified!
patient man
Trust your spotter. I've driven manual for close to 40 years and they will roll forward as well as backward. If your spotter says stop, why do they need to say it anymore? Awesome support, she got you through some lines that I am sure scared you.
my wife gets quiet when stressed out lol she didn't say anything until we got off the wall lol
She sounds perfect
Love the commentary!
You should have let her drive, lol And gone for a hike.
JK
Your wife needs to keep quiet or stay home. She needs to trust you and let you drive before she hollers out and takes your attention off the trail.
Crazy road
OMG, :) give your driving seat to her.
👍 thin curve
Stop...stop...stop !!!! That's was funny....
someone wsill be changing their under wear at the finish
Had to turn sound off!!
Sorry, wouldn't even WALK up/down that road.
😅y u had this much worry? it's our normal roads in Afghanistan in mountain area. if you can not believe it you can search for it and you will face more dangerous than this
I would have started that trail married and had divorce papers done by the time we made it to the bottom.
What a bunch of insufferable gabbing... Dan must have the patience of a saint. 🙄
That red thing in front of them with the crappy exhaust sound is driving me crazy. Put a Loud muffler on a 4 cylinder, it sounds hideous
Next time don't take her with you
No shame in being nervous....if you aren't nervous going down Black Bear Pass then you must be brain-dead. My wife and I are doing the Alpine Loop this summer but since we have a Power Wagon Black Bear pass is off the list.
....GET RID OF HER........She makes ANYONE Nervous.......Jus Pull ovrt use your right hand.......FAT too much stress!
Stop!!! :)
stop stop stop...............
This woman added much fun to an otherwise rather bland trip.
She needs to shut up ! I’m just saying!,,,
Lady you are on a groomed off road trail made for the rich…😅😅😅😅
Great video and the Rovers in front of you were awesome. Just need to get the old lady a Xanax next time and a couple sticks of gum to chew on, with all due respect of course.
I get the excitement of extreme off road mountain passes. But when they turn into a traffic jam like this, why waste your time?
Actually the stopping gives a good chance to relax and look around, take it in. You really cant look around when driving with a drop off on one side and an wall on the other.
