I hope you guys realize how lucky you are to be able to do this. I'm 53 and at 48 I had to have open heart surgery with a triple bypass, heart irrithmia, inherited bad cholesterol, cardio myopathy, congestive heart failure. I can't help but cry. But I watch the videos knowing this is as close as I'll get. Your videos are great for soul. Thank you guys.
This is excellent! Thank you for putting this together! We are building out our full size rig with offroad camper in tow. Hope to see you on the trail.
Hey Ranger.... What an awesome Gladiator my friend. Would love to have you on one of our upcoming rides. We have a couple planned for this year. 2 rides in KY (Turkey Bay Badge of Honor and Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway), Big Frog Loop again, Cape Lookout in North Carolina and exploring much of the SCAR this year.... considering throwing in the FAT at some point but that's a pretty long ride. would love to have you.
Thank you Charles. I really enjoy making these stories and I feel each story gets better and better as I learn so much about editing, filming and content creation. ❤️
Looking forward to this. We moved to Greenville a couple yrs ago from San Diego. Also lived in Vegas for years, I’ve been all over the west, Moab, Death Valley and the Sierras. Baja too. I didn’t know what the wheeling would be out here. I’m very happy to see all of this, NC, TN and beyond.
Thank you Don,... This was an awesome trip. Super easy and scenic ride all the way across the North Georgia Mountains. I am excited to each Adventure Trail and Traverse in each state.
First time watching your channel. Enjoyed it very much. Subscribed. Will be back. Thanks. Been all over Ark. From North MS. Now I want to do Georgia Traverse.
Hey Mike..... that is awesome. I want to visit Ark.... (on my upcoming list for sure). I am originally from South MS, Hattiesburg MS area. I go back and visit family often but never really "explored MS"
Thank you David.... You are going to love the Jeep Life, both on and off the trail (maybe not so much the trips to the gas station 😂). The Georgia Traverse is a great scenic and easy trek. Fun to do solo, with your family or just with a group of cool friends. Im always up in the Cohutta and Coopers Creek area myself. That's where I like to explore so if you see the white Road Rash Jeep UP there, flag me down.
@@RoadRashOffRoad thanks tons. So is there a group that does this regularly? I keep hearing don’t wheel alone. I would love to get this thing dirty but not sure I’d know where to go and I’m sure I’d get lost lol. I’m in Greenville Sc so I’m not too far.
@@RoadRashOffRoad ok skip that last message, ai'm an idiot LOL. I went to the website an d the Facebook page. I guess expect to see me at an event soon. Thanks. My name is David.
Thank you for your kind comments. I am fairly new at TH-cam and storytelling so I’m still learning so much. I think because I LOVE overlanding and off roading, it’s a bit easier to film the content because I enjoy it.
Love these videos and I'm trying to use OnX to map out a route but I am just getting started. Not new to off road by any stretch but most of what I have done is here in Florida. Any tips getting started. I run a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon on 35's so it should be capable to handle the Traverse from what I have seen. Brett.
Hey Brett…. The Georgia Traverse is a pretty easy route with tons of changing scenic views and great camping along the way. You can easily take the whole family or a group of friends…. Or just take it on by yourself. You’ll probably need a minimum of 4 days. Make sure you have a chainsaw. There are always trees down across the road. Some can easily be pulled out of the way with your winch but others will need to be cut. Let me know when you go. I am always in that area and would come up to take on parts of it with you.
It was a great trip and so much fun when doing it with a group of good friends. There’s many mixed feelings about the rooftop tent. They are great because they are off the ground, lots of space and comfortable… however your gas mileage will drop dramatically carrying a RTT. Additionally, if you wanted to just break away from camp and explore some trails or just need to run to the store for something, you have to close up camp and then come back to reset it up. I personally think a better option is the pull behind trailer like Jeepin Bubba had in the Cohutta. It still has the RTT but you can disconnect it from the Jeep, leave it at camp and do what you need to do.
8 minutes in, so far so good. The music just before the Dillard House had me feeling like Liam Neeson was going to appear out of nowhere. Great production value so far. Kudos to the videographer who I know had to get out, setup the shot, run back, repeat - it can be exhausting, so thank your for your sacrifice.
Thank you very much…. And yes, getting out and setting up the camera just to get a drive by shot can be exhausting… especially if you have a lot of other Jeeps following you. They will need to have patience. ❤️
It was a great trip..... We will defiantly do the Georgia Traverse again but there are several other trips in the works right now I am sure you will be on.
They were absolutely beautiful. We knew the “tentative area” we wanted to be in and the landscape qualities we wanted in a campsite, so while traveling, we would keep our eyes open for spots we wanted.
@@RoadRashOffRoad And the funny thing is too about Ga, it literally seems mother nature is always on that time of the month because she's so darn temperamental with the weather, 1 minute it'll be 50-60 degrees, the next it'll be around 80-100 lmao, she just can't seem to make up her mind
@@chrismeyers5963 ha ha ha. Just don’t ask her what she would like for dinner. She’ll probably say “doesn’t matter, anything is fine” and you suggest your favorite neighborhood restaurant and she says “no, I don’t want that” 🤦🏼
Thank you so very much. That means a lot coming from you. It has always been so fascinating how baristas create such amazing art in lattes. That is such a gift and I could watch it all day.🤩
yes donnie. You can go to www.georgiaoverland.com or you can find the links to this adventure on my website, roadrashoffroad.com/overlanding-the-georgia-traverse/
You’re going to love it… I know the power wagon is a bit wider than the jeep but most of the traverse is well maintained forest roads. There shouldn’t be any significant pin striping. The only places that would concern you is if you venture off the road to explore some of the shoot off trails.
I would love to make trip like that with a group. My rig is a little bigger but from your video looks completely doable. It’s a m1078 military truck built into expo
What a truck man.... #dreamoverlander I Don't think you would have an issue at all with your Military Truck. The majority of the GT is forest roads, wide enough for forestry vehicles and easily traveled with any other high clearance vehicles. I would just make sure you include in your pack out a chainsaw or the ability to clear large debris from the road. We encountered many large trees across the road and tried to clear out as much as we could. There is dispersed camp sites scattered all throughout the GT with many sites large enough for several vehicles, so your larger Military Vehicle would find a home for the evening no problem. I would love to see this m1078 in person. When you hit the GT, if you let me know I will come meet you on the trail. I'd love to do a walk around on your rig.
Road Rash thanks for the info. I’m doing some work on the truck right now and hope to have it finished up soon. When I get my first trip planned I’ll definitely give you a heads up
that fan in the window thing was pretty slick. Maybe if you haven't already do a walk thru from ground to top of your setup and what all you use and have done to your jeep. Its a cool setup and can learn alot. I see you did the walkthrough of the roof top tent yellow point. Just subscribed and see you have a playlist for Jeep Upgrades and a playlist for Product Reviews. Coolness will be checking them out.
Thank you so much. Like many, I’ve done bits and pieces of the GA Traverse over the last couple of years but wanted to take on the full 4 day length route and film it for other overlanders outside who haven’t spent a lot of time exploring the South East. .
Awesome. Shoot me a message and I can refer you to some good campsites and maybe some places to make sure you "spend some extra time" exploring. (LOVE THE NAME BTW - Out Of The Office)
Hey John. I love these little makeshift fans. I actually made them using computer fans and a gutter guard. You can watch the video how I made them here: th-cam.com/video/VWPL7M44yhU/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing. Very much appreciate your vehicle flag as well. My wife and I are considering, would you say it’s doable in a power wagon pulling a 12’ long off road camper? Thanks in advance sir
Another great video and am planning to do this trip after Moab trip next sept.... If you don't mind me asking... What video equipment are you using? Love to document some of our ventures and use more than gopros phone and mavic mini. etc...
Thank you Danny 🙏🏼 I made the fans. I highly recommend them to anyone who stay in their Jeep. It cools the air, keeps out the bugs and circulates the air. You can watch the video here on how to make them th-cam.com/video/VWPL7M44yhU/w-d-xo.html
@@RoadRashOffRoad Hey Road Rash! Just watched the video. Definitely going to make some. One other question if you don't mind. Do you have any problem with water coming in if it's raining? Thanks again!
@@FJCruisin-OffRoad fortunately, I have not had a “good rain fall” while having them in. In the light rain, I have not had an issue but I would assume if it decided to come down, it would come in. there is no guards to keep water out.
We are headed that way in the morning and it should take us about 9 hrs from the Tampa Bay area. Would love to meet up with you out on the trail if you are going to be out. Let me know how to connect with you and we'll see if we can make it work.
Oh man…. I didn’t know you were going now. That’s awesome. You will likely run into road closures. This some mountain road close in the winter until beginning of March. I won’t be able to meet you this week. The Road Rash Jeep went into the shop on Monday to have it re-geared but because of the holidays, they were not working on it Wednesday or Thursday. I’m hoping to pick it up tomorrow. When I do, I am told that I need to baby it for about 500 miles and not do any off roading. You guys have a great time.
The Mr Buddy is nice but not good in windy conditions. Like in your jeep or a small trailer is fine. It has good safety features too as CO sensor and tip over shut off. I have a small overland enclosed trailer with a Predator 3500 generator, so I chose to also purchase a cheap Walmart ceramic heater that really pumps out some heat and you dont have to worry about poison gas or propane however, it does take some power, about 1600watts of it. Im def adding this trip to my bucket list! Looks amazing!
This is a really easy and very scenic trek. A great way to see all of North Georgia - from the Chattahoochee National Forest to the Cohutta Wilderness and through parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Let me know when you guys head up this way. I may not be able to do the full Traverse with you guys but I’ll definitely try and meet up for part of the leg with you
Thank you James. The USB window fans is a solution I created after a camping trip in Tennessee. During that trip, it was hot, muggy and bugs were everywhere. I came home to look up a solution and found a video on TH-cam where a gentlemen (I don't remember his name) created one of these but he didn't go into detail on what he bought or how he did it. So I studied his video and created a USB ventilation video on my channel showing what to buy and how to do it. My only complaint after using it is that the USB battery pack I have only runs for about 5 - 6 hrs consistently which means it dies in the night. I will be replacing that battery pack with one a bit more reliable. Here is my TH-cam video showing this fan.... th-cam.com/video/VWPL7M44yhU/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Can’t wait to join a club or group wanting to do the same. Only thing I seen that I wanted to address was Jackson Daily. Yep leaving a unattended weapon ( I’m assuming loaded ) on the table! Gonna have to pull your Man Card for that offense!
Would love to have you on a adventure with us. If you notice, I attached a disclaimer to the video stating Jackson’s “weapons” were BB guns. We would never leave loaded weapons unattended. They are on our person at all times.
Nope, I didn’t notice that. I’m not Woke by any means, just busting Ass. Thanks for the invite. Love to take you up on it once I get my new truck. Waiting to order the Ford Ranger Raptor. In the mean time saving for Overland equipment. I will continue to follow and watch your great videos. Keep your Jeep on the road! LoL
yes, a full size truck could defiantly do this route. This is a very easy route made up of maintained forest roads. Other than a couple of water crossings (estimated 2.5' deep), the only real hiccups you will incur is some down trees across the road. Nothing a Chainsaw and a good winch can't clear out of the way.
Thank you LH. Yes, the 3rd night we stayed at a campsite called The Ball Field in the Cohutta Wilderness. In highly recommend and it’s free. A really cool place today, however there is no running water (rivers or streams). Usually, we always look for accessible water near camp.
It’s plugged into the jeep while we are traveling. Then when i park at camp, I plug it into my battery power bank. It was a pain in the butt because the power bank wasn’t sufficient to run this for long amounts of time. It was a cheap Amazon power bank and would never suggest it to anyone. However this year I’ve just acquired a new solution that I think is going to work perfect (only time will tell though). I have a new power bank by Generac. The cool thing about this power bank is that it’s “passive” meaning the power bank is plugged into the jeep, always charging while the car is running and then the refrigerator is plugged into the power bank, running off of the power bank when the car is off. I think this will be a much more efficient solution.
@@Thatcntrygirl1 yes... I have been planning my overlanding trips for the first half of the year. While doing this, I have been evaluating my entire rig set up to make sure it is safe and sound for many of my adventures. there are a couple of bigger trips coming up that I've identified my Jeep could be better equipped. The Road Rash jeep is going through ALOT of updates this year. there are so many updates, I am creating a series called Overlanding Overhaul. This includes: Install new roof rack Install / review new roof top tent Install / review tankless hot water heater Review of power station and solar Install / review new 47qt refrigerator Build Jeep drawer / kitchen inside Install new heavy duty rear tire carrier Install new rear steel bumper It's going to be a great and informative series
At the last camp site? I am not sure of the exact details. He builds these and sells them himself. Awesome dude and an awesome trailer. You can look him up a couple of ways. His company here in Georgia is called Black Bear Off Road. That is where he builds and sells his trailers. Or you can find him on TH-cam. His channel is @JeepinBubba
Yes, you’re absolutely right. Most of it if not, all of it is just beautiful scenic overlooks in Forest roads, but you will come across some of the most beautiful waterfalls and landscapes in North Georgia. Pack your hiking boots, some food and your tent and just get ready for an awesome four days Exploring North Georgia
I've seen engines hydrolock going fast through puddles smaller than the one at 0:50.You never know if there's a big hole or big rock in there. Must be an overlander thing. Not being a troll, trying to be helpful. Dillard house isn't what it used to be.
Thank you Dirty Dave... I defiantly don't see your comment hurtful or "trolling" and I typically don't roll through puddles without knowing what's in them.... if you notice, the camera was set up on the opposite side of the puddle. This means I already drove through it slowly to know how deep it was and what was in the water to set up the camera, only to back up and film the drive through like you saw. I knew there was nothing in the water. I agree with the Dillard house. we use to go there with my family when I was younger and it is defiantly not the same as it once was.
@@RoadRashOffRoad I have family in Franklin NC and have been interested in exploring Nantahala national forest and Chattahoochee. I'm from Florida and don't much know my way around up there but we will figure it out.
@@dirtydave4351 I've defiantly explored Chattahoochee and parts of Nantahala. I would LOVE to do a deep dive into NC. I have explored a little bit of FL, Ocala (Tread Lightly), Point Washington and parts of the FAT in Northern FL but I have wanted to do the full FAT for sometime now.
@@C_Hood on camp night 3, we stayed at Ballfield in the Cohutta. This place is REALLY awesome. You should stay there. Ball Field Dispersed Camping Area (recgovnpsdata) goo.gl/maps/uMXpqSmHfxa6TbK98
Not on this trip. This heater was “cooking” in the small Jeep space and it wasn’t super cold. I turned it on when I got in for about 45 min, cut it off and turned it on in the morning for about an hour. I did do a trip later in the year and left it on all night. On low heat, it ran all night (about 7 hrs). On high heat it was more like 4-5 hrs. While they do say this heater is completely safe for indoors with little to no carbon, I’m still a bit skeptical, however my jeep have very good ventilation vents I built for the windows (you can see these in my video) so I wasn’t worried about this.
What type of comms systems are being used on the east coast? Out here in AZ, we are all gmrs and ham radio users. I will be out in GA, SC, NC, TN next spring and I want to be able to communicate with others on the trails.
Welcome to the East Coast! I haven’t done much wheeling on the West Coast but there are so many amazing areas that is on the bucket list for sure (including AZ and Southern California). Let me know when you are coming to GA and I’ll meet you on the trail. On the East Coast, comms are the same. I have them all in my rig (GMRS, HAM, CB, FRS)… i would say I never use CB. Rarely use HAM (although it’s nice to have the ability for long range). Most commonly is GMRS and if you are rolling with a crew, FRS between rigs.
@@RoadRashOffRoad I will definitely let you know when I am in your area. I have been watching lots of southern videos and I see lots of cb antennas on the vehicles so it is good to hear that gmrs/frs are the current communication style being used. Thank you for the quick reply.
@@RoadRashOffRoad Neither of them matches the song played in the beginning. It's also at 1:02:07 unless I'm tone deaf. Sorry for being pushy about it. I've heard this song somewhere before in the past. I'm trying to figure out where. It's been bothering me that I can't find it lol. Also, I believe I'm your 800th sub btw.
GREAT VIDEO! A couple of questions: What time of year was this (curious about the weather/timeframes)? Are you worried about CO buildup with that heater in the Jeep (looks like it uses propane)? Did you see any dual sport motorcycles out there? Thanks/
Thank you Robby. 🙏🏼 We did this route towards the end of February, just when things were starting to warm up a bit. I would say best time to go is March-ish. Bugs are not so bad and most Forest roads reopen around this time (If you look at The Georgia Traverse on Google Maps, some of the roads / trails in the Cohutta close between Dec and March). I was not worried about CO for a couple of reasons. The MR Heater did extensive testing on CO output and found no alarming data. Also, if you noticed I had my rear windows opened with a homemade bug screen on them. This allowed for circulation or air. While on the trail, we passed many dual sports.
@@RoadRashOffRoad Thanks for the scoop. I've been riding dual sports for a few years off road, but after watching this one and a few other overland videos... that comfort may be in my future. Thanks again, great information.
@@robbydawson5003 The Dual Sports looked really really cool while passing. If I had one, I'd do that adventure for sure. The only thing I would be cautious about is a couple of the water crossings. I think Charlies Creek can get up to about 2.5' deep... I don't know how forging water works with dual sports but other than that, NO issues with a Dual Sport on this track.
Ha. I had to put the disclaimer. While many did have real firearms, I wanted to note we are NOT careless with them (we don’t just leave them laying out) 😉 I love your videos Georgia4Low. I watch them often. Maybe one day I will meet you guys on the trail and we’ll do a combo video
The IPad is running on its batteries but the red power bank is a 300w Rockpals (cheaper version of the Jackery). I don’t have a Jackery to compare it to but personally, I don’t like the Rockpals. It struggles powering anything other than charging phones and drones. I will be replacing that in the future.
I would day 99% of the route can be done in any truck, Jeep, even suv. It’s mostly forest roads and aggregate…. However the only part I would be concerned about with lower vehicles would be Charlie’s Creek. Stock Jeeps can pass ok but the water could get over 2’ in sections meaning “lower engine cars” (like a Subaru) would be questionable.
Don't make the same mistakes as others... We want to c the rigs,nature,water crossing. No that much of cooking or faces on the cameras. Info of the trails mods to the rigs etc.👍
There are plenty of channels that have that.... and I shoot a lot of video that also has "just trail rides".... but I would have to disagree with you. As someone who watches my backend analytics ALOT, currently I have over 50k views on this lifestyle video of people watching the overlanding journey and experience while a lot of my other trail videos are consistently 3k. Additionally, I consistently speak with many other successful overland channels that inspire me (those with 100k + subscribers) and ask them advice on my content and how to grow my channel. One of the number one answers is "people want to follow the lifestyle journey..... it's what keeps them coming back". Since I started doing this, my views go up and subscribers go up. So to clarify your original statement, change the word "we" to "I"..... "I" want to c the rigs, nature, water crossings. I appreciate your feedback and always welcome creative criticism from viewers. It is what has helped me grow my channel quickly thus far.
I’ve seen many many trucks. The GA Traverse is a very friendly trail. The only “sketchy “ part for trucks would be Charlie’s Creek with the water crossings but they are not terribly deep (maybe 2 ft or so)
All I see are praises for the video---and I'm happy for you that many enjoyed it, BUT I do believe one learns best by "constructive" criticism---which I hope you don't mind I interject here. FOR ME, I guess I expected to see MORE---and I mean in the sense of actually "seeing" the actual TRAVERSE. In other words, I expected the focus to be on the hazards encountered, ie, truck issues while traversing certain areas, or issues ON THE TRAIL, or anything to do with the TRAVERSING of this outdoor adventure. BUT WHAT I GOT was the focus on CAMPING AND SOCIALIZING and WAY TOO MUCH OF FILMING YOURSELF!!! A great thing for a HOME VIDEO, but it should not be the FOCUS for a video with your TITLE. Some will disagree I'm sure, but that's just my two cents. Your response to someone that you're "learning" is perfect. And I respect that answer very much, SO KEEP AT IT AND HOPE TO SEE MORE IN THE FUTURE. By the way, I guess the main reason I expected more when I saw the title is that I've yet to see the whole TRAVERSE documented on film from beginning to end---in the way I described above. But at least I applaud your attempt. It's all about the FOCUS---it's that simple. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT---JUST A FRINEDLY COMMENT---HOPE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE!-[LOOK FOR A BLUE HUMMER----yeah, crazy!]--LOU
Lou.... First, I want to thank you very much for your constructive criticism. As a "creative" who is always looking to better my craft, I WELCOME it from everyone. Yours is especially welcomed because it was defiantly thought out and constructive. Some other people are just criticism, and with that, I thank you. Regarding my channel (and this video particularly), I am new at this and always learning. I learn by watching TH-camrs that inspire me like TrailRecon, Epic Family Road Trip, Casey250, Venture4WD and Venture2Roam... many of which have become friends of mine coaching me through my content process. If you know anything about these channels, they are all Overlanding Lifestyle channels. They film their adventures while exploring a destination (in my case, exploring the Georgia Traverse). For me personally, I am an adventurous explorer and overlanding happens to be my hobby. I'm exploring and filming along the way and I find many people are interested in The adventure of a trail as well as the lifestyle that goes along with it... Like the other TH-camrs I listed above, It's literally what sparked my interest to get out and explore and to learn what gear I needed (and don't need) to get started - the rest I learned by getting out and doing it. Regarding the actual Georgia Traverse, there are no hazards experienced other than some down trees and / or water crossings (all included in my video). The Traverse is a very very simple route made up of maintained gravel forest roads and about 1/3 of the route is pavement winding through the mountains. With the exception of the water crossings, I would say almost any average 2-Wheel drive SUV could do this route so in reality, the only hazards are down trees in the road and forging rivers. There are no dangers on the Traverse. People do the Traverse to escape civilization and enjoy the beauty of the North Georgia Mountains - hence the lifestyle. I have other videos that highlight popular trial specifics and what to expect on these roads if someone is exploring for the first time. There are a lot of praises on this video and I am very thankful that people are enjoying my content. I believe these people (like me) are just looking to learn and / or escape their living room for just a moment and ride the Georgia Traverse with me, so I take them along for the ride. I am always in the Cohutta. It's one of my favorite places in North Georgia. I will keep an eye out for the Blue Hummer. It would be cool to catch you on the trails and include that beast in my videos.
I hope you guys realize how lucky you are to be able to do this. I'm 53 and at 48 I had to have open heart surgery with a triple bypass, heart irrithmia, inherited bad cholesterol, cardio myopathy, congestive heart failure. I can't help but cry. But I watch the videos knowing this is as close as I'll get. Your videos are great for soul. Thank you guys.
Thank you so much for your mind compliments. I’m honored you enjoy my content.
This is excellent! Thank you for putting this together! We are building out our full size rig with offroad camper in tow. Hope to see you on the trail.
Thank you Scott. The Georgia Traverse is a GREAT adventure. I highly recommend it for any explorer. Hope to see you on the trail as well.
I’ll love to go with you the next time.

Hey Brett…. The Georgia Traverse is a pretty easy route with tons of changing scenic views and great camping along the way. You can easily take the whole family or a group of friends…. Or just take it on by yourself. You’ll probably need a minimum of 4 days.
Make sure you have a chainsaw. There are always trees down across the road. Some can easily be pulled out of the way with your winch but others will need to be cut.
Let me know when you go. I am always in that area and would come up to take on parts of it with you.
Looks fun. Been wanting to get a jeep for a long time. Rooftop tent is the way to go. Bad ass
It was a great trip and so much fun when doing it with a group of good friends.
There’s many mixed feelings about the rooftop tent. They are great because they are off the ground, lots of space and comfortable… however your gas mileage will drop dramatically carrying a RTT. Additionally, if you wanted to just break away from camp and explore some trails or just need to run to the store for something, you have to close up camp and then come back to reset it up.
I personally think a better option is the pull behind trailer like Jeepin Bubba had in the Cohutta. It still has the RTT but you can disconnect it from the Jeep, leave it at camp and do what you need to do.
8 minutes in, so far so good. The music just before the Dillard House had me feeling like Liam Neeson was going to appear out of nowhere. Great production value so far. Kudos to the videographer who I know had to get out, setup the shot, run back, repeat - it can be exhausting, so thank your for your sacrifice.
Thank you very much…. And yes, getting out and setting up the camera just to get a drive by shot can be exhausting… especially if you have a lot of other Jeeps following you. They will need to have patience. ❤️
The shot of Ready Player One, LOL. Well done.
Hulkman needs to throw some change your way.
@@hywankun I love that movie. Watching it on the iPad in surround sound, camping in the Jeep is the icing on the cake 🎂
Awesome trip, 10/10 would do again!
It was a great trip..... We will defiantly do the Georgia Traverse again but there are several other trips in the works right now I am sure you will be on.
All campsites beautiful
They were absolutely beautiful. We knew the “tentative area” we wanted to be in and the landscape qualities we wanted in a campsite, so while traveling, we would keep our eyes open for spots we wanted.
As Georgian ( Savannah native ) we have some really awesome places and history here in Ga, awesome video my dude 🤘🤘🤘
Man Chris I know we do. Georgia is a great place to explore.
I’ve never really explored anything down south near Savannah before.
@@RoadRashOffRoad And the funny thing is too about Ga, it literally seems mother nature is always on that time of the month because she's so darn temperamental with the weather, 1 minute it'll be 50-60 degrees, the next it'll be around 80-100 lmao, she just can't seem to make up her mind
@@chrismeyers5963 ha ha ha. Just don’t ask her what she would like for dinner. She’ll probably say “doesn’t matter, anything is fine” and you suggest your favorite neighborhood restaurant and she says “no, I don’t want that” 🤦🏼
Awesome to hear you have some awesome places out there. Missed my Moab trip this year as we are moving to GA.
Amazing adventure, keep going. Absolutely I like your video.😍
Thank you so very much. That means a lot coming from you. It has always been so fascinating how baristas create such amazing art in lattes. That is such a gift and I could watch it all day.🤩
Thank you for sharing
Road Rash, any idea where to find the actual map (turn by turn) for the GAT? Awesome video by the way, looks like a great group of folk there.
Website called overland Georgia. They have a google map
@@maxwalker7899 thank you, I’ll check it out.
Cool channel man. I don't have a Jeep, but wish I did. Happy trails!
Thank you sir. I don’t have an AR but watching your channel sure makes me want one also. 🙌🏼
That was an awesome video! Can’t wait to try that route ourselves!
I love the Georgia traverse. It’s one of my favorite Overlanding trails in Georgia. 
Thanks for the video, your music selection is a little ominous lol, may want to lighten it up a little lol
Are there gps directions for this trail system? Thanks! Awesome content
yes donnie. You can go to www.georgiaoverland.com or you can find the links to this adventure on my website, roadrashoffroad.com/overlanding-the-georgia-traverse/
Great video and edit man. Loved it
Thank you very much Tyler. It’s great to get positive feedback every once and a while. 🙏🏼
Beginning stages of planning this trip. Any tight trails where I can expect pin striping from branches? I’ll be rocking a Ram Power Wagon.
You’re going to love it… I know the power wagon is a bit wider than the jeep but most of the traverse is well maintained forest roads. There shouldn’t be any significant pin striping. The only places that would concern you is if you venture off the road to explore some of the shoot off trails.
41:37 just got back from this trip. This bridge was interesting. It said there was a 3 ton limit. Oops.
Love it
Thank you Tommy. If you are on the east coast, I would suggest it to get a great feel for the best of Georgia.
I would love to make trip like that with a group. My rig is a little bigger but from your video looks completely doable. It’s a m1078 military truck built into expo
What a truck man.... #dreamoverlander
I Don't think you would have an issue at all with your Military Truck. The majority of the GT is forest roads, wide enough for forestry vehicles and easily traveled with any other high clearance vehicles. I would just make sure you include in your pack out a chainsaw or the ability to clear large debris from the road. We encountered many large trees across the road and tried to clear out as much as we could.
There is dispersed camp sites scattered all throughout the GT with many sites large enough for several vehicles, so your larger Military Vehicle would find a home for the evening no problem.
I would love to see this m1078 in person. When you hit the GT, if you let me know I will come meet you on the trail. I'd love to do a walk around on your rig.
Road Rash thanks for the info. I’m doing some work on the truck right now and hope to have it finished up soon. When I get my first trip planned I’ll definitely give you a heads up
that fan in the window thing was pretty slick. Maybe if you haven't already do a walk thru from ground to top of your setup and what all you use and have done to your jeep. Its a cool setup and can learn alot. I see you did the walkthrough of the roof top tent yellow point. Just subscribed and see you have a playlist for Jeep Upgrades and a playlist for Product Reviews. Coolness will be checking them out.
The jeep is always changing. I do need to do a walk around on the Road Rash jeep. 
Great video, I recognized so much in the footage
Thank you so much. Like many, I’ve done bits and pieces of the GA Traverse over the last couple of years but wanted to take on the full 4 day length route and film it for other overlanders outside who haven’t spent a lot of time exploring the South East. .
Nice video. Hoping to get to that trail in the next year or so.
Awesome. Shoot me a message and I can refer you to some good campsites and maybe some places to make sure you "spend some extra time" exploring.
(LOVE THE NAME BTW - Out Of The Office)
Hey I remember seeing y'all at that camp sight , I was in a black jk that almost got stuck 🤣
Nice bro…. It was an awesome ride. Would love to have you join us for the next one? We are going to do a 3 day on the Big Frog Loop
Sorry if you mentioned it in the video but what did you use to power the fans? Cool setup btw.
Hey John. I love these little makeshift fans. I actually made them using computer fans and a gutter guard. You can watch the video how I made them here:
th-cam.com/video/VWPL7M44yhU/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing. Very much appreciate your vehicle flag as well. My wife and I are considering, would you say it’s doable in a power wagon pulling a 12’ long off road camper? Thanks in advance sir
Thank you so much for the love on the channel. You are going to love the Georgia traverse. 
Another great video and am planning to do this trip after Moab trip next sept.... If you don't mind me asking... What video equipment are you using? Love to document some of our ventures and use more than gopros phone and mavic mini. etc...
Moab! Missing our trip this year to Moab as we are moving to GA that week.
Shoot me the link to your video when you get it edited and launched. I’d love to watch it. 
Very cool man. Great video
Thank you 🙏🏼. It makes it a bit easier when you LOVE doing it.
Really nice video! One question; can you tell me where you got those window fans, or maybe provide a link? Thanks!
Thank you Danny 🙏🏼
I made the fans. I highly recommend them to anyone who stay in their Jeep. It cools the air, keeps out the bugs and circulates the air. You can watch the video here on how to make them
th-cam.com/video/VWPL7M44yhU/w-d-xo.html
@@RoadRashOffRoad Sounds good! I'm going to watch it now. Thank you !!
@@RoadRashOffRoad Hey Road Rash! Just watched the video. Definitely going to make some. One other question if you don't mind. Do you have any problem with water coming in if it's raining? Thanks again!
@@FJCruisin-OffRoad fortunately, I have not had a “good rain fall” while having them in. In the light rain, I have not had an issue but I would assume if it decided to come down, it would come in. there is no guards to keep water out.
@@RoadRashOffRoad Thanks again!
We are headed that way in the morning and it should take us about 9 hrs from the Tampa Bay area. Would love to meet up with you out on the trail if you are going to be out. Let me know how to connect with you and we'll see if we can make it work.
Oh man…. I didn’t know you were going now. That’s awesome.
You will likely run into road closures. This some mountain road close in the winter until beginning of March.
I won’t be able to meet you this week. The Road Rash Jeep went into the shop on Monday to have it re-geared but because of the holidays, they were not working on it Wednesday or Thursday. I’m hoping to pick it up tomorrow.
When I do, I am told that I need to baby it for about 500 miles and not do any off roading.
You guys have a great time.
The Mr Buddy is nice but not good in windy conditions. Like in your jeep or a small trailer is fine. It has good safety features too as CO sensor and tip over shut off. I have a small overland enclosed trailer with a Predator 3500 generator, so I chose to also purchase a cheap Walmart ceramic heater that really pumps out some heat and you dont have to worry about poison gas or propane however, it does take some power, about 1600watts of it. Im def adding this trip to my bucket list! Looks amazing!
This is a really easy and very scenic trek. A great way to see all of North Georgia - from the Chattahoochee National Forest to the Cohutta Wilderness and through parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Let me know when you guys head up this way. I may not be able to do the full Traverse with you guys but I’ll definitely try and meet up for part of the leg with you
Enjoyed your video. Tell me about your USB window fans please.
Thank you James. The USB window fans is a solution I created after a camping trip in Tennessee. During that trip, it was hot, muggy and bugs were everywhere.
I came home to look up a solution and found a video on TH-cam where a gentlemen (I don't remember his name) created one of these but he didn't go into detail on what he bought or how he did it. So I studied his video and created a USB ventilation video on my channel showing what to buy and how to do it.
My only complaint after using it is that the USB battery pack I have only runs for about 5 - 6 hrs consistently which means it dies in the night. I will be replacing that battery pack with one a bit more reliable.
Here is my TH-cam video showing this fan....
th-cam.com/video/VWPL7M44yhU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the quick reply. I have a dual battery setup in my 86 Toyota Land Cruiser; I’m fairly certain power won’t be an issue.
@@jamesreeves5331 oh nice but I didn’t mean the car battery. I meant a small usb battery (for charging phones)
Great video. Can’t wait to join a club or group wanting to do the same. Only thing I seen that I wanted to address was Jackson Daily. Yep leaving a unattended weapon ( I’m assuming loaded ) on the table! Gonna have to pull your Man Card for that offense!
Would love to have you on a adventure with us.
If you notice, I attached a disclaimer to the video stating Jackson’s “weapons” were BB guns. We would never leave loaded weapons unattended. They are on our person at all times.
Nope, I didn’t notice that. I’m not Woke by any means, just busting Ass. Thanks for the invite. Love to take you up on it once I get my new truck. Waiting to order the Ford Ranger Raptor. In the mean time saving for Overland equipment. I will continue to follow and watch your great videos. Keep your Jeep on the road! LoL
Looks like a full size truck could possibly do this, what do you think after completing it?
yes, a full size truck could defiantly do this route. This is a very easy route made up of maintained forest roads. Other than a couple of water crossings (estimated 2.5' deep), the only real hiccups you will incur is some down trees across the road. Nothing a Chainsaw and a good winch can't clear out of the way.
@@RoadRashOffRoad Seems to be the consensus, thank you for the info!
Hey great video, do you know what the campsite or location on the map is for the third night?
Thank you LH. Yes, the 3rd night we stayed at a campsite called The Ball Field in the Cohutta Wilderness. In highly recommend and it’s free. A really cool place today, however there is no running water (rivers or streams). Usually, we always look for accessible water near camp.
With your 12v cooler, how do you have it hooked up so it doesn’t run you jeep battery dead
It’s plugged into the jeep while we are traveling. Then when i park at camp, I plug it into my battery power bank. It was a pain in the butt because the power bank wasn’t sufficient to run this for long amounts of time. It was a cheap Amazon power bank and would never suggest it to anyone.
However this year I’ve just acquired a new solution that I think is going to work perfect (only time will tell though).
I have a new power bank by Generac. The cool thing about this power bank is that it’s “passive” meaning the power bank is plugged into the jeep, always charging while the car is running and then the refrigerator is plugged into the power bank, running off of the power bank when the car is off.
I think this will be a much more efficient solution.
@@RoadRashOffRoad will you do a video of this new improvement ?
@@Thatcntrygirl1 yes... I have been planning my overlanding trips for the first half of the year. While doing this, I have been evaluating my entire rig set up to make sure it is safe and sound for many of my adventures. there are a couple of bigger trips coming up that I've identified my Jeep could be better equipped. The Road Rash jeep is going through ALOT of updates this year.
there are so many updates, I am creating a series called Overlanding Overhaul. This includes:
Install new roof rack
Install / review new roof top tent
Install / review tankless hot water heater
Review of power station and solar
Install / review new 47qt refrigerator
Build Jeep drawer / kitchen inside
Install new heavy duty rear tire carrier
Install new rear steel bumper
It's going to be a great and informative series
@@RoadRashOffRoad oh man that does sound great cant wait to see it all
What is the details for your friends trailers?
At the last camp site? I am not sure of the exact details. He builds these and sells them himself. Awesome dude and an awesome trailer.
You can look him up a couple of ways. His company here in Georgia is called Black Bear Off Road. That is where he builds and sells his trailers. Or you can find him on TH-cam. His channel is @JeepinBubba
Don't cut trees down..... Tread Lightly
Nice vid what kind of bins are u using? Aerodynamic mpg ? I bought hulk man 85,,got confused bc also they have 85s thanks for all ur advises
The bins are use a call Plano and I really like the large and medium size. The small ones stink 
So it seems to just be mostly scenic and gravel road, nothing very technical the entire trip?
Yes. You are absolutely right. Most of it if not, all of it are just scenic Forest roads
Yes, you’re absolutely right. Most of it if not, all of it is just beautiful scenic overlooks in Forest roads, but you will come across some of the most beautiful waterfalls and landscapes in North Georgia. Pack your hiking boots, some food and your tent and just get ready for an awesome four days Exploring North Georgia
Would you happen to know which model Coleman tent that is at the 31:45 mark ?
I've seen engines hydrolock going fast through puddles smaller than the one at 0:50.You never know if there's a big hole or big rock in there. Must be an overlander thing. Not being a troll, trying to be helpful.
Dillard house isn't what it used to be.
Thank you Dirty Dave... I defiantly don't see your comment hurtful or "trolling" and I typically don't roll through puddles without knowing what's in them.... if you notice, the camera was set up on the opposite side of the puddle. This means I already drove through it slowly to know how deep it was and what was in the water to set up the camera, only to back up and film the drive through like you saw. I knew there was nothing in the water.
I agree with the Dillard house. we use to go there with my family when I was younger and it is defiantly not the same as it once was.
@@RoadRashOffRoad I have family in Franklin NC and have been interested in exploring Nantahala national forest and Chattahoochee. I'm from Florida and don't much know my way around up there but we will figure it out.
@@dirtydave4351 I've defiantly explored Chattahoochee and parts of Nantahala. I would LOVE to do a deep dive into NC. I have explored a little bit of FL, Ocala (Tread Lightly), Point Washington and parts of the FAT in Northern FL but I have wanted to do the full FAT for sometime now.

Did you run your heater all night?
Not on this trip. This heater was “cooking” in the small Jeep space and it wasn’t super cold. I turned it on when I got in for about 45 min, cut it off and turned it on in the morning for about an hour.
I did do a trip later in the year and left it on all night. On low heat, it ran all night (about 7 hrs). On high heat it was more like 4-5 hrs.
While they do say this heater is completely safe for indoors with little to no carbon, I’m still a bit skeptical, however my jeep have very good ventilation vents I built for the windows (you can see these in my video) so I wasn’t worried about this.
When is this? How do I participate?
Is there any spots to fill up, my disco get 7 mpg and takes premium
What type of comms systems are being used on the east coast? Out here in AZ, we are all gmrs and ham radio users. I will be out in GA, SC, NC, TN next spring and I want to be able to communicate with others on the trails.
Welcome to the East Coast! I haven’t done much wheeling on the West Coast but there are so many amazing areas that is on the bucket list for sure (including AZ and Southern California). Let me know when you are coming to GA and I’ll meet you on the trail.
On the East Coast, comms are the same. I have them all in my rig (GMRS, HAM, CB, FRS)… i would say I never use CB. Rarely use HAM (although it’s nice to have the ability for long range).
Most commonly is GMRS and if you are rolling with a crew, FRS between rigs.
@@RoadRashOffRoad I will definitely let you know when I am in your area. I have been watching lots of southern videos and I see lots of cb antennas on the vehicles so it is good to hear that gmrs/frs are the current communication style being used. Thank you for the quick reply.

GREAT VIDEO! A couple of questions: What time of year was this (curious about the weather/timeframes)? Are you worried about CO buildup with that heater in the Jeep (looks like it uses propane)? Did you see any dual sport motorcycles out there?
Thanks/
Thank you Robby. 🙏🏼
We did this route towards the end of February, just when things were starting to warm up a bit. I would say best time to go is March-ish. Bugs are not so bad and most Forest roads reopen around this time (If you look at The Georgia Traverse on Google Maps, some of the roads / trails in the Cohutta close between Dec and March).
I was not worried about CO for a couple of reasons. The MR Heater did extensive testing on CO output and found no alarming data. Also, if you noticed I had my rear windows opened with a homemade bug screen on them. This allowed for circulation or air.
While on the trail, we passed many dual sports.
@@RoadRashOffRoad Thanks for the scoop. I've been riding dual sports for a few years off road, but after watching this one and a few other overland videos... that comfort may be in my future. Thanks again, great information.
@@robbydawson5003 The Dual Sports looked really really cool while passing. If I had one, I'd do that adventure for sure. The only thing I would be cautious about is a couple of the water crossings. I think Charlies Creek can get up to about 2.5' deep... I don't know how forging water works with dual sports but other than that, NO issues with a Dual Sport on this track.
no good cutting trees in forests unless it's fell already
Awesome Trip and Video! “Disclaimer these are pellet guns” 😅 😅
Ha. I had to put the disclaimer. While many did have real firearms, I wanted to note we are NOT careless with them (we don’t just leave them laying out) 😉
I love your videos Georgia4Low. I watch them often. Maybe one day I will meet you guys on the trail and we’ll do a combo video
At 33:23 what are you using for power supply while the jeep is off ?
The IPad is running on its batteries but the red power bank is a 300w Rockpals (cheaper version of the Jackery).
I don’t have a Jackery to compare it to but personally, I don’t like the Rockpals. It struggles powering anything other than charging phones and drones.
I will be replacing that in the future.
@@RoadRashOffRoad appreciate the info
What would you recommend for min ground clearance
I would day 99% of the route can be done in any truck, Jeep, even suv. It’s mostly forest roads and aggregate….
However the only part I would be concerned about with lower vehicles would be Charlie’s Creek. Stock Jeeps can pass ok but the water could get over 2’ in sections meaning “lower engine cars” (like a Subaru) would be questionable.

No chainsaw to remove the down trees?
We had chainsaws for trees. The good thing is the downed trees across the road had been evidently cleared by a group ahead of us.
Do anyone do these type of trips in street legal SXSs?
Don't make the same mistakes as others...
We want to c the rigs,nature,water crossing.
No that much of cooking or faces on the cameras.
Info of the trails mods to the rigs etc.👍
There are plenty of channels that have that.... and I shoot a lot of video that also has "just trail rides".... but I would have to disagree with you. As someone who watches my backend analytics ALOT, currently I have over 50k views on this lifestyle video of people watching the overlanding journey and experience while a lot of my other trail videos are consistently 3k. Additionally, I consistently speak with many other successful overland channels that inspire me (those with 100k + subscribers) and ask them advice on my content and how to grow my channel. One of the number one answers is "people want to follow the lifestyle journey..... it's what keeps them coming back". Since I started doing this, my views go up and subscribers go up.
So to clarify your original statement, change the word "we" to "I".....
"I" want to c the rigs, nature, water crossings.
I appreciate your feedback and always welcome creative criticism from viewers. It is what has helped me grow my channel quickly thus far.
I guess no trucks
I’ve seen many many trucks. The GA Traverse is a very friendly trail.
The only “sketchy “ part for trucks would be Charlie’s Creek with the water crossings but they are not terribly deep (maybe 2 ft or so)
I was wondering the same with a pro4x frontier with just a 2 inch lift???
Water seems a little deep
All I see are praises for the video---and I'm happy for you that many enjoyed it, BUT I do believe one learns best by "constructive" criticism---which I hope you don't mind I interject here. FOR ME, I guess I expected to see MORE---and I mean in the sense of actually "seeing" the actual TRAVERSE. In other words, I expected the focus to be on the hazards encountered, ie, truck issues while traversing certain areas, or issues ON THE TRAIL, or anything to do with the TRAVERSING of this outdoor adventure. BUT WHAT I GOT was the focus on CAMPING AND SOCIALIZING and WAY TOO MUCH OF FILMING YOURSELF!!! A great thing for a HOME VIDEO, but it should not be the FOCUS for a video with your TITLE. Some will disagree I'm sure, but that's just my two cents. Your response to someone that you're "learning" is perfect. And I respect that answer very much, SO KEEP AT IT AND HOPE TO SEE MORE IN THE FUTURE. By the way, I guess the main reason I expected more when I saw the title is that I've yet to see the whole TRAVERSE documented on film from beginning to end---in the way I described above. But at least I applaud your attempt. It's all about the FOCUS---it's that simple. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT---JUST A FRINEDLY COMMENT---HOPE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE!-[LOOK FOR A BLUE HUMMER----yeah, crazy!]--LOU
Lou.... First, I want to thank you very much for your constructive criticism. As a "creative" who is always looking to better my craft, I WELCOME it from everyone. Yours is especially welcomed because it was defiantly thought out and constructive. Some other people are just criticism, and with that, I thank you.
Regarding my channel (and this video particularly), I am new at this and always learning. I learn by watching TH-camrs that inspire me like TrailRecon, Epic Family Road Trip, Casey250, Venture4WD and Venture2Roam... many of which have become friends of mine coaching me through my content process. If you know anything about these channels, they are all Overlanding Lifestyle channels. They film their adventures while exploring a destination (in my case, exploring the Georgia Traverse).
For me personally, I am an adventurous explorer and overlanding happens to be my hobby. I'm exploring and filming along the way and I find many people are interested in The adventure of a trail as well as the lifestyle that goes along with it... Like the other TH-camrs I listed above, It's literally what sparked my interest to get out and explore and to learn what gear I needed (and don't need) to get started - the rest I learned by getting out and doing it.
Regarding the actual Georgia Traverse, there are no hazards experienced other than some down trees and / or water crossings (all included in my video). The Traverse is a very very simple route made up of maintained gravel forest roads and about 1/3 of the route is pavement winding through the mountains. With the exception of the water crossings, I would say almost any average 2-Wheel drive SUV could do this route so in reality, the only hazards are down trees in the road and forging rivers.
There are no dangers on the Traverse. People do the Traverse to escape civilization and enjoy the beauty of the North Georgia Mountains - hence the lifestyle.
I have other videos that highlight popular trial specifics and what to expect on these roads if someone is exploring for the first time.
There are a lot of praises on this video and I am very thankful that people are enjoying my content. I believe these people (like me) are just looking to learn and / or escape their living room for just a moment and ride the Georgia Traverse with me, so I take them along for the ride.
I am always in the Cohutta. It's one of my favorite places in North Georgia. I will keep an eye out for the Blue Hummer. It would be cool to catch you on the trails and include that beast in my videos.
