Snow Camping with Hot Tent at Indian Grinding Rock Campground
Переглядів 2,1 тис.Рік тому
Recent atmospheric river brought tons of snow to the sierra mountains. Even some low altitude campgrounds are covered by snow, making some perfect opportunities for snow camping. So we had this trip to Indian Grinding Rock campground. Weather was great when we arrived, warm and no wind at all. But in the night it started to rain and later changed to heavy wet snow. I was worried whether our ten...

Hot tent camping in redwoods with Nortent Gamme 4 and Pomoly wood stove
Переглядів 345Рік тому
Hot tent camping in the snow has grown in my mind for a long time. I have been watching hot tent videos from youtube for a couple of years, and FINALLY made the call recently. I just received my Nortent Gamme 4 last week and Pomoly stove one week ago. Can not wait to put them in use, so I selected a beautiful redwood camp ground to test them out. Goal is to get familiar with the set up before r...

I was excited to have one week spare time and took a trip to Michigan last October, which was on my to-do-list for several years. I also took my film cameras with me and shot some films. Some of the shots turned out to be not bad. Wish I had more time, more stops on the roads. Cameras and films I used in the trip: Hasselblad 501CM CFE80mm/CF150mm/CF250mm Fujifilm TX-1(Xpan I) 45mm lens Kodak Po...
2023 new year epic powder day snowboarding at Kirkwood, with Jones Storm Chaser
Переглядів 572Рік тому
The atmospheric river is bringing tons of snow and rain to the west coast of US. We drove up to Tahoe area on Jan 1st, hoping to ride fresh powder on the first day of 2023. But the HW88 was closed so we did not make it. We headed up again on Jan 2nd and had an epic day! Jones Storm Chaser is perfect choice for this snow condition, it floats effortless and swims when the nose is berried. I didn'...

We originally planned to enter the trail from Silver Lake north shore and drive southbound to Mud Lake or Bear River Reservoir before exit. But we did not find the entrance in north shore of Silver Lake for 4x4, only found a bike/hike trail. So we changed our plan to enter the trail from Bear River Reservoir and drive northbound. We drove off the Pardoe Trail/Squaw Ridge Trail near the Horse Th...

My old tires on 4Runner are worn off. I recently installed new tires Nitto Ridge Grappler on the truck, and I upgraded size from 285/70/17 to 285/75/17. Bald Mountain Trail was a great place to test these new tires, so I joined this trip. It was my first time been to Bald Mountain Trail, it was amazing. I like this and will definitely come back. I was also very happy with the new tires' perform...

Video was shot on Apr 15 2022. Kirkwood just received a fresh snow. I was on the way back to home from Kirkwood ski resort. The light from the sky was beautiful, it was a little windy though. But I was able to launch the drone and shot the amazing scenery.

4Runner Off-roading Sour Grass Trail
Переглядів 17 тис.2 роки тому
We drove to the sour grass trail in early May. The trail is a little challenging for 4Runner with 285/70/17 AT tire. But I was able to get through with a good spotter and winch. Sour grass is an out-and-back trail, it is a little crowed in later of the day. Appreciate everyone's patience while we slowly moved along the trail.
Barney Riley Trail Off Roading, Dji Mavic Air 2 Drone Cinematic Video
Переглядів 4142 роки тому
We entered Barney Riley Trail from trail head on HW89 closer to HW4, spent a night camping near the hot spring. The water level is too high, so we did not cross river. But we found a new way out to 395 without cross river. And we tested it out. It was a supper fun trip, wish we could stay one more night and explore around.

What Antenna set up is that on your hood?
@@TheRazer773 hi, it is 40inch 2m/70cm HAM radio antenna. And a diamond antenna hood mount.
@@darkviking1109 thank you.
@darkviking1109 what website did you buy your antenna and mount from?
@@TheRazer773 I think it was gigaparts
这个角度挺吓人啊

nice
Thank you!
@@darkviking1109 ill be on that trail this weekend i believ3e
@@jailbreakoverlander that’s awesome. Have a tons of fun!
I wonder if my stock 4 runner with upgraded 265 tires could do this.
Of course. A Prius could do this.
Nice video I wonder why you call it the Barney Riley trail. The beginning of your video is not on the barney riley trail and neither is the end of your video
Liked and subscribed. Do you have kdss and what tire size?
Thank you! Yes I have KDSS. Tire size is 285/75/17
@@darkviking1109 We have the exact setup, Black, KDSS, and 285/75s. I have BP-51. Awesome truck
the ATRAC system is supposed to be pretty good at getting unstuck.
Great video, too much music tho, maybe turn it down some more I personally enjoy hearing more of the car and the nature sounds. Thumbs up 🤙🏽
Looks amazing!
cool vid. care to share the directions coming from the Bay Area? thanks
It is on HW89, there are two trail heads on 89. we entered the trail head about here. (38.6657910, -119.6975020)
@@darkviking1109 how long the drive from hwy 89 to the crossing? also did you pass by the cabin along the way? thanks
@@gogoydollaga3607 our route was about 18-20 miles from HW89 to 395 NV side. We did not notice any cabin along the drive.
That was an interesting video I am still trying to Figure out exactly where you were I the 1st part you were on the original Barney Riley trail on that very steep section I've only done that once That was off of loop Canyon road I think you couldn't make it so you went around to the Nevada side On Leviathan mine road or China Spring Very nice video did you ever make it to the Hot Springs give me a comment
Hi yes, we made to the hot spring then take a trail to the NV side. We came out from young’s cross road to 395.
Hey there! We're quite interested in your posting content. We have some outdoors related items. Do you accept sponsor products?
Hello, thank you for reaching out, please contact me via darkvikingly@gmail.com.
What if you where really out there on your own, you’d give up? Off reading is an adventure not a theme park.
Did you get a spare tire the same size as the 285/75/17? Or did you stick with a 285/70/17 in the spare location?
I still have 285/70/17 as spare.
@@darkviking1109 Thanks!
Your never going to believe it. Your gonna shit your pants. We got one of those abandoned trailers off interstate 80 in Pennsylvania as one is leaving N. Y. C.. about 200 miles out west of it
dude its fuinny i just did a trail yesterda thats way crazier than this in a base model tacoma 4x4, these dudes have sick suspension and acting like its difficult
Not sure why the effort to block license plates. Millions of UA-cam videos and instagram show plates but u are worried about your 4Runner? Doesn’t really make sense, but good wheeling video.
Thank you bro. Yea, censoring the plates took some time. But just want to be cautious.
Awesome. What camera are you using
Insta360 one x2
Isn't that a backside BS?
It is opposite with jumping. I was confusing and mistook these two. Quote from internet: Frontside means that you approach the rail so that it is in front of you when you prepare to pop. Your back is looking forward during the entire slide. For the backside boardslide, the rail is behind you when you approach it and you will look straight ahead while you slide on it.
@@darkviking1109 Damn.... that's complicated! ;-D Thanks
@@PelLihi 😉 no problem
Hope you got it by now!! I’m in the same boat! Did you try practicing the motion on the snow and/or scissoring with your feet?
Yea thanks buddy. I’m more comfortable to backside board slide. I can scissor legs on snow no problem, but hitting on boxes I’m still stiff and nervous . 😂
*Promo sm* 😅
Believe or not the correct tire snow socks work amazingly GREAT , I tried them out last week on my 4runner in deep snow & thick ice they are BITCHEN
I will try them out, thanks for advices. Did you use them on snow covered road? Can they run faster than chains/cables?
@@darkviking1109 May also consider snow socks
why is the stuck 4runner flooring it? that’s like the worst thing to do lol
Yes, that just dig deeper. In a serious situation we should not press pedal like that. He was more like messing around.
兄弟 你微信多少 能帮我代购4runner trdpro 的中网吗？
你是指toyota字样那个中网么？这个哪里都有卖的吧

Where is this place? Coordinates?
It is near Shaver lake, south entrance trail head is about 37.07024, -119.18034. You can find my route in GaiaGPS or other map applications.
what roof rack is that on the 4runner?
There are two runners in the video. One is with Prinsu rack the other is with Gobi.
What kind of yellow fog lights are those?
You mean the big round one on my bumper? They are Baja design LP9 , it is driving and spot combination light pattern.
@@darkviking1109 yes the big round ones. How you get them to hold? What brackets you get?
@@itsdatbullshitter I drilled holes on my aftermarket bumper and bold on with Baja design factory bracket.
yea that intro dosent give the runner much credit man
Oh shit i was at that run dude!!!
@@jailbreakoverlander no way! 😃Were you in the fleet drove up on Sunday?
Video keep getting better bro!!!! Sound of Camping!!!! let's go on 3/4, don't know here yet but let's go.
Thank you Bro! 😂
Where are you at? Been thinking of a hot tent myself, as I'm in MN.
I’m in CA. Hot tent is a lot of fun.

you did not lower you psi to 20
Yes, I think we ran on about 15psi.
@@darkviking1109 does not seen to be low for better grip
@@JerryFungNYCyes, 15psi is still not too aggressive.
@7:59 you can tell
Great work. you didn't give up thats what matters. keep it up.
Thank you for the encouragement. I will keep trying! 💪
NICE truck. Really like the two LP6"s..
"mun mun shar mun mun shar... driver driver ... " 😎 Cool video. You brought out the essence of off roading. Cool trails you guys running with your 4runner. Would like to see how you guys setup your rig.
Slow, slow, go = mun mun shar. 😊
BRAVO.
Great video, but the filming gave me vertigo with stop go in the film. Nice rigs!
Yes, some of the shot were taken without turning on the stabilization. Guess that’s why it gives you vertigo.
天线什么型号?是HAM radio的天线还是GMRS?
车头的是HAM 2m/70cm, NMO, 40in。 车driver side 车顶有一个小的三寸GMRS

Very nice vid. Thank you for sharing ✌🏻
Thank you for watching
Great job on this video! I’m a 4 runner owner and enjoyed watching you put these rigs through their paces. We are truly lucky to see these places less seen. Enjoy!
Thank you. I agree with you, I’m very grateful to be able to off-road on these trails.
That terrain looks awesome🤙
Yea, Kirkwood is quite unique among resorts in Tahoe area. Love it.
约啊 kkw
What antenna mount is that?
It is a hood NMO mount.
改善一下走线，在接近box的时候现将板子向内带5到10度，同时右肩向内wind up多一点这样才能有效的在box时瞬间将上下身反拧够90度。
多谢提示 我下次试试
Do these fox 2.0 gave your 4runner a lift? Did it compromised the kdss system? I have a trd off road and I'm looking to upgrade to fox shocks. But I don't know which one I can use. On the trd off road without compromising the kdss system.
I’m running on Bilstein 6112, not fox. Yes it is 2.75-3” lift at front, and 2” at the rear. I do not feel much impact on KDSS.
Looks like a fun day!
What’s up with your channels name ? Dark Viking…really ?
Yea, I know. Probably because I listened too many Scandinavian black/death metals when I was teen. 😂
Cool offroading!
Thank you!
Cool video. What's the antenna you have in the front for? Do you guys regear or have a front lock on your rigs?
Thanks. Antenna is for HAM radio. Yes, we regeared to 4.88. I had front locker but had no chance to use it yet.
