Outbound Intent

Приєднався 10 лют 2018
For the past two years I have been interested in the Overland/travel community. Since then, I have wanted to talk about purpose driven travel as well as other topics. This has led me to create a channel based off of my experiences.
The Return | FJ Cruiser in the North Maine Woods
The Return to the North Maine Woods for an overland trip with the FJ Cruiser and Jared's Turbo Diesel XJ (view his channel here: www.youtube.com/@turbodieselxj) finally took place. Ever since the first North Maine woods trip in 2022, I have desired to get back and explore a new section. North Maine is a beautiful place to be and offers many places to roam. Over the 5 day span, our goal was to complete a loop and camp at many different camp sites all while being self-sustaining and enjoying the scenery. I definitely have plans to return and explore other sections.

oh by the way, which tan is your fj? on camera it looks darker than mine but i thought the quicksand color on the later fjs was the darker one. just a trick of the camera?
Love the video brother, wish you the best of luck 💪🏽🔥
hope your channel really takes off mate. this is top notch. cant wait to get out there like this in my fj again. youve got some mad beatiful terrain out there. here in mn it can be difficult to find good trails where i am but every once in a while ya get a good one. want to find the time to head outta stateand discover the rockies next year or whenever my paid time off gets rolled over
how big can the rear tire be so it doesnt block the rear window opening?
Fantastic video. I can clearly see why you love the North Maine Woods so much. I also love your cuts and transitions, very nice editing. And now you have me intrigued by the coffee. Aeropress FTW. (I grind my own at camp too).
Best vid yet!!! Nice!
Great video. Noticed you guys made the switch from percolator to Aero press. I love the look of that percolator, I just hated the coffee!
Looks like fun! Adding this one to my bucket list 😂
Love that FJ! Great video angles; thanks for sharing!
Thank you! We had a blast 👊
@@OutboundIntent I finally have my 2012 FJ TTSE ready to overland and will be in Colorado later this month to navigate through the mountains. Always cool watching you do it too!
"Roof tents such, but I still like them. Here's my counter-psychological sales pitch I got paid for."
Didn't get paid a cent for anything... if I review a product I got for free or got paid for I disclose that immediately
The air out thing was a good thing to know! Thanks!
But you a Prius sista!!!
Your reasoning is horrible.
You are using the most complicated RTT. It takes mi 10 seconds to open it and a minute to close it.
Light weight, hardshell takes less than 2 minutes to setup and pack up. There light weight to take off if you want to do that. We usually use a 270 awning (also fast to pack up) if ya wanna use the car. Most the time we have dirt bikes to explore with anyway but just incase its fast. As for the campsite, we use a huge market gazebo so the site is still there to come back to anyhow 👍🏾👌🏽
I've watched a few FJ videos, wondering if one of them would finally mention the terrible handling. One after another talks about a million attributes of the vehicle, but never mention what I consider the number one problem, the handling. So thanks for being that one in a thousand UA-camr that actually has the ability to even recognize the terrible handling of the FJ. I wanted to buy one, but one test drive was enough to convince me that I would never enjoy driving it.
I came here for the FJ and stayed for the views. Absolutely sensational. What amazing memories you’re making man.
Thank you that means a ton! Just posted a second trip that I did recently
I like this mentality. You are far more likely to need to help get family out of a natural disaster such as a flood, tornado or forest fire. This kind of setup lets you get in render meaningful aid and if necessary get back out. To often you see bugout supporters who can barely climb into their over sized overland rig expecting to live of raw wilderness with nothing but ammo and a fist full of mre's.
Very Fine points u brought up.With 3 Pets & such.i wanna go to the grocery & not be encumbered
Got an 06 Turbo MT myself, looking to slowly put some work into it to make it more and more overland capable. Pretty good just stock for some one day dirt road explorations. Nice ride!
LOVE your baja vids man!! Hey, do you have to purchase that custom extended roof rack for a successful rooftop hard shell tent installation on the baja, or can you install without that custom extended roof rack?
I really dont like RRT's they are so over rated imo. Id rather have a 270° awning with walls.
Dude is your rack for sale yet!? Thanks great content’
How much did the FJ have to refuel compared to the mighty 617?
Other than high gas consumption I don’t see any reason no to. I mean they’re even comfy for a rugged vehicle
Beautiful build. Well done. Enjoy your adventures.
Thank you! It’s been a good journey so far
Bundutop.
Baja deserves more hype
Means a ton!
Also your roof space is permanently in use. No putting a kayak up top.
That SUV is so cool what brand is it? It's not a European model.
Looks like a Toyota FJ Cruiser
Ground tents suck! RTT's are the ONLY way I can get my wife or kids to go overlanding. Without that on, I'm going solo. Plus the grizzlies are more likely to bite my feet instead of my head lol
Love me Roam Vagabond Lite RTT. Taking my time. It takes 8 minutes to set up completly. 12 minutes to put it away. I was used to survival camping. 2 person ground tent. Sleeping on the ground. With my RTT. Im feel like its a huge step up. I never slept better in the wilderness. Some points are invalid. You said if you have to leave. You cant cause your tent is set up. But if your ground camping the same applies. Its actually quicker with the RTT. Throw everything in trunk and put tent down and go. 12 minutes plus time to throw stuff in trunk. Ground camping takes me forever to take apart and put away poles. Also who leaves all their camping stuff unattended to driving around? My 2 person ground tent cost hundreds of dollars. Im not leaving that there. Plus the sleeping bag. Insulation pad. Gear. Thats over $1000. Who leaves that there to drive around? I feel like these people are just making up excuses to hate on RTT's. If you dont like them. Cool. Dont get one. But dont make up scenarios that dont make sense. I love mine. Only con is that I dont get to use it in the summer due to tropical heat.
I think the point is you can leave the ground tent on the ground and drive away in an emergency. It is not a comparison to take down the tent because you do not do anything with the ground tent in this scenario.
appreciate you playing Devil's Advocate. Still trying to decide between roof tent and stealth sleeper with seat delete. This helped me gain some perspective.
nice. just setup. Looks great. ready to cook dinner...let's pop open a. brew.. oh wait ... where is the beer???forgot to buy the beer. wtf.. let's tear down. and get the beer. sucks
what if i dont have a rig which one should i get
Great memories were made 🏕️
Great video, A lot of us really don’t need the background music we rather hear nature and the rig. Seriously.
On the contrary, I daily an FJ cruiser and I would have destroyed my gt86 at least 10 times with some of the things I've shrugged off while driving my FJ
Now that Apple is going to be enabling satellite emergency service on all their iPhone 15’s and later, I’m wondering how much longer Garmin InReach (my choice) and Zoleo will be needed?
And… they will allow texting via Satellite so I can check in with my family. But, I’m also thinking a second “backup” device would be prudent.
These are some major first world problem you are discussing here…..if you can deal with the smaller size hard shell tents solve a lot of the issues you mention
I stayed at that exact site in abol about 4 or 5 years ago. Love that place
Cant believe this video doesn't have a million views. The whole video is amazing and feels like an awesome commercial for the baja haha.
He called the Baja hideous. Smh. 0/10
I need a device like this. When you chose the Zoleo, did you also look at the Garmin InReach Mini 2? What ultimately lead you to the Zoleo?
Good question
THISSS
A Garmin inreach is more effective. If you have the money, an Iridium satellite phone is the ultimate answer!
Honest question, what makes it more effective? I've been using a zoleo for a couple of years now and it has been great, but I'm always down to improve my gear and/or plug holes in my setup.
Had mine 10 years. Daily drove it for 5 years. Perfect daily driver. I only stopped using it for a daily when I decided to get a used Civic as a daily. I wanted to keep miles off my FJ and only use it when needed (in winter, for the cargo room, or adventures). Saves a lot of gas money also, getting double the mileage. My 2012 FJ has just 85k miles on it.
Mine is 100% stock, other than the tires of course (I put on Duratrac tires). As for handling, it is actually pretty amazing for an offroad truck like this. I've had 6 Jeeps. Two XJ Cherokees (both around year 2000), 3 Wranglers (1 TJ, 2 JK's), and a Commander. The Commander was still a fairly good off roader, but not on the level of the others. I will say the Commander was the smoothest and best for driving. Drove it from Chicago to San Diego and back, and stopped all in between. I also took my FJ all over the country from Chicago to NY and Florida, and more. The FJ beats the Wranglers and Cherokees by far on the road. The only one that was better for on road driving was the Commander.
Reason Number 1 - I am broke
Really awesome video man, and from another east coast overland! Earned my subscribe.
I drive my 2012 about every day into town, yes it has its issues like poor visability amd wonders around the road some. So what, compensate and pay attention driving.
Do as I do: put a hardshell rooftop tent on your lightweight yet tough Alu-Star Camper trailer. Tow it with a Suzuki Jimny 5-dr GLX AT.
