Thanks again to Matt for inviting me to be a part of this vid! Also, a big shout out to Spartan Overland for reppin' the @adventuruss shirt! haha!
Thank you! couldn't have done it without your help!
See ya Wed in Fl Russ 😁😁
One of our favorites is the Daniel Boone Back country Byway.
Yeah it's on my short list!
Here I was thinking id have to go further west to start doing this. Thanks for this video!
You’re so welcome!!
So many great trails in there!
Yeah some great places I need to check out
@@SimplyMustGo If you come up to VA or western NC let me know, I'll just some trails with ya!
I’ll be around Virginia for Overland Expo east
@@SimplyMustGo awesome! There's several great trails within an hour two from there
Nice! I love the collaborative nature of this. Great job.
Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hurricane Creek is such a fun trail! I need to go back for sure. This was a great video, I plan to add some of these to this year list
Thank you so much! Yeah I want to do Hurricane creek again too.
Great video! Thank you for putting all this info together!
Thank you!
Another great video (no surprise)! Well done, sir!
Thank you so much!!
Perfect timing on the upload! Just got my YJ road worthy
That's awesome! I love hearing a YJ is back out there!
Great collaboration video Matt. Thank you for posting. I'm trying to get out there and do some more of these trails with my family. So far we've done a few 100 miles of the SCAR and looking to do some more in the mountains this summer. Spent a lot of time backpacking up there in my younger days and looking forward to introducing my kids to the area. Also a Florida lover and would like to hit the FAT at some point. Oh, and love that Jurassic Jeep you built!
Thank you so much! Yeah I still have more to do on the scar now that they’ve added some new routes. But I really want to do the Fat too.
Great video with great information and great people. Thanks. OIIIO 👋
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
First time here - very well done!
Wow! Thanks for coming by and watching the video! I hope we'll see more of you here!
Really nice collab. Love seeing these areas.
Thanks Will! I really appreciate it!
What a great video! Star studded cast! I've been on at least part of every one of those trails, and loved it. Good job putting this one together Matt!
Thank you so much! Wish I could have added more, but I guess I'll make a part 2 at some point! haha
@@SimplyMustGo Part 2 sounds awesome! Don't tease us!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!!! Packed full of GREAT information!!!!! I did indeed subscribe!
Thank you!!
We have done Old 105, some trails in Pisgha NF, some of the SCAR, and about half of the GAT. Hurricane Creek and Buzzards Roost are on my short list this year. I’d also like to do a trip to the NC beaches at some point. So many amazing places in the South!
That’s awesome! Yeah I still need to do the new routes on the SCAR and Buzzards Roost!
The Alternate routes on the North East side of the loop are definitely the most fun we have had so far.
Hope to make it out there one day! Great video!
That would be awesome!
The SCAR trail is one I'm going to add to our list to explore! Thank you for the video!
You're welcome! Let me know when you're doing it. I might be able to hit a section with you!
@@SimplyMustGo absolutely! Maybe we can collaborate on a video as well.
Great informative video. When you hitting the Georgia Traverse
Actually just got back. (UA-cam videos tend to be a week or more behind for me)
Dude! This is such a cool video! Nice collab with all the overlanders!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Some awesome trails there I’m slowly checking off my list.
Great video, Matt! Being from SC, we are absolutely biased! We love the SCAR and have traveled much of the Eastern portion. Looking forward to taking on the full loop soon! Thanks for the great vid!
Thank you! The SCAR is a lot of fun!
Very informative video Matt. It was great meeting and talking with you at the 2023 Jeeps in the Vines rally this past weekend! Thanks for the sticker.
Great meeting you too!
Nice job Matt
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
@@SimplyMustGo Cool vid, I’m subscribed to and met all involved. Will actually got me into overlanding as well years ago. Met him when he was passing through Ga and got a great deal on Action Trax from him. What a super cool dude. And spent time with Russ in Maggie Valley along with many others. Keep the vids coming. You never disappoint 👍
Very informative video, much appreciated. My wife and I did old 105 this fall and it’s all that you think it is. Beautiful place for a weekend trip.
Thank you!
Thanks Matt for bringing all this people and places together. I’m traveling while at lunch at work 👍👍👍. I second what Asia said about the Fat . We had to much fun doing the first part of it. You Simply must come
It's on my list for sure! I can't wait to get down there and explore and see some Gators!
Loved this video! There is another trail I’ve heard of, but very little info on it. It’s called the Appalachian byway, it basically follows the Appalachian Trail from Ga to Maine!
Wow! I haven’t heard of that one yet, but now I need to look it up!
Those all look like some great places to overland here in the southeast. I have been trying to hit as many trails as possible during my shortened stay here in the area.
Yeah, I need to get out and do some of these myself soon!
@@SimplyMustGo on Saturday we are going to Gulches with Georgia Jeep Alliance and on Sunday we will hit up Hurricane Creek and some other trails in that area with Adventuruss. You are welcome to join us.
@@toddhoffmaster6057 I would love to, but I'll be visiting some family this weekend.
Im from Kentucky most places on the east side are for side by sides
West coast is for the vehicles
Very cool seeing some of the SE off road trails!
Your video is inspiring. Adventures like this is exactly what my son needs, me too. We live in northern Ohio. No challenging terrain desired at the moment due to my vehicle. So the question is…How much of a limitation is my stock 2016 4Runner 4WD with all-season 17” tires? No go? Main trails should be navigable? An overlanding set of wheels/tires is essential, regardless? Stick to UA-cam videos?
Thank you, actually I think your forerunner even stuck is very capable. You don’t have the greatest tires in the world, but I think you’re plenty fine for most standard forestry roads and things like that. I think you should get a good set of traction boards and go explore and just know that if something looks a little too sketchy that maybe you should avoid it unless you have other people with you that can help you out. But otherwise I think you’re good to explore, for example nothing about the Georgia traverse that you couldn’t do. The only times when it might get challenging for you would be exploring some of the side trails and offshoots. But sticking to the main forestry roads, you should not have a problem at all.
Also, I would avoid anything that looks like deep or extra gross mud because that’s the stuff that’s liable to get you stuck
When you go camping what clothing do you usually wear? Jeans? I’m thinking of going camping the summer but don’t know what to pack.
So it sort of depends, but I always wear long pants, here we have ticks and stuff you don’t want on you. I really like a company called Teren designs. They make an pant that is really comfortable light weight and has anti bug stuff.

105 is great … done it with a all time 4wd 2017 explorer… but the road is getting less maintained I was up there a few months back and 2wd where having to turn around at one spot
That’s good to know! Sounds like I need need to get there before they fix it.
Also be careful up there! Practice your 2nd. A lot of the campsites off 105 homeless and car residence have almost turned into 105 into tweekerville. Full time residents..Just be safe!
Does anyone know or have an address where old nc 105 starts?
I think the moral of the story is get lockers ,lol
Lockers save lives!
Great video. I’m from VA and love learning about great Overlanding Trails in the SE. Thanks
Thank you!
Love it. I think I told you and Will I’m in the Greenville area since 6/21. TN boy but been out west a few years.
Your channel and Will’s are the first two I watched after moving here. Finally wrapping up my old Dodge’s wiring, finally getting out to explore the south.
Definitely checking out the others. Georgia Traverse, Smokey Mountains, Pisgah area and KY Adventure Route are among my initial plans.
Thanks for putting this together!
You’re welcome! Yeah, Will is a great dude. I’ve put most of these trails on my short list of trails to hit. I did the Georgia Traverse and I still have to edit the video.
Add Smokey Mountain 1000
Yes! It was supposed to be on this list but the person doing it wasn’t able to. So maybe the next one.
Very informative video that I'll definitely be sharing with our overland group. I've driven the GA traverse and SCAR plenty of times but definitely need to work my way down south to see the FAT.
Matt, this is such a cool collaboration with all these Overlanders!! Love it! We need to do trip with yall!
Thank you! I’d love to do a trip.
