    Vermont is such an amazing state and the class 4 road network is so vast! I love how well put together this video is and the narration is on point, great job 🤙🏻

    Now I gotta check out VT just to tackle that spot.
    I can understand the timidity when staring down a sketchy obstacle… but sometimes ya gotta put a tire on it, and trust in your rig, and yourself.

    Good vid. I've done only a days worth in VT. Done more in NH. Being in CT, it's ridiculous that I've not done a whole lot up there.

    Vermont has been on “The List” go a while now. Is there a good map of class 4 roads you might know of? Also, I use my gazelle with Mr Buddy Heater and a cot to get me off the cold ground into the low 30s/upper 20s. Below that I use a canvas hot tent and wood fired stove.

      @trevorthomas5552 That's a good setup for cold weather camping 👌 As far as the class 4 roads map, there are a few VT.gov websites that list some of the more well known locations. I know there's also a handful pre-marked on the OnX app.

      @@trevorthomas5552 if you want the best and complete map of all the class 4 roads in VT I highly suggest checking out the Pilgrimage event. As part of registration you get a OnX folder with every class 4 marked and color coded by difficulty. But like Varsity said class 4 are all public knowledge and map can be found on state websites.

    Vermont is one of the last remaining states that I have not yet been to. Disgusting…. Maybe. But I so want to be able to do these class 4 roads…. maaayyyybeee. 😂Need to get the rig built up to handle them. Beautiful country you and Jeremy have up there!

    I didn’t know the gazelle gazebo was able to have a fire inside! Would you say it’s a good alternative to a rack mounted awning?

    • @varsityoverland
      @varsityoverland  23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      We've been able to use the firecan inside the gazebo because it doesn't release any smoke, so keep that in mind. Also, we only put wind panels on 3 of the walls and left the others untouched to allow air flow. We've used this setup half a dozen times and it warms up pretty quick. I'd say it compliments a vehicle mounted awning. In the event of a heavy downpour, I'd say a vehicle awning (like a 270) would deploy faster.

      @jatorresrv oh I have! I documented a 3 week adventure camping and offroading in CO in 2023, and before that I spent 5 weeks traveling the country in 2021 doing the same thing through UT, CO, AZ, CA, OR, & MT to name a few 😅

      @@varsityoverland Thus, then, you would know the "OMG!" trail shown (th-cam.com/video/ylfI7C61dqk/w-d-xo.html), whether diminished by video or not, are all too common simple neighborhood paths here. For example, just one trail of so many in mentioned states, getting to Crown King, AZ, whether front (more commonly traveled) or back (more challenging). But then, driver experience makes the difference. Aside from >100k miles on my current 2020 4Runner, I also was a trainer for the Jeep to HMMWV transition in the late 1980s; it's much easier to learn your vehicle's capability and your individual comfort when Uncle Sam is paying for your off-roading. Unfortunately, my travels are undocumented, so I guess that discredits my subject matter expertise. Oh wait, I just remembered, > 15 years ago, I posted this video (th-cam.com/video/SnquuU0fqBI/w-d-xo.html) on TH-cam (from our backyard, as you can see the homes in the background) but found the time and effort were not worth it and made no more. By the way, I sold this van with >120k miles in 6 years of ownership after climbing Engineer Pass (and others) in CO, to name just one of many.
