Chihuahua Gulch. Keystone, CO. Solo.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2020
- Chihuaha Gulch is so sick. Plenty of small-medium obstacles to keep it interesting and couple line choices on a few of the obstacles. The rut section was real fun along with my S line leading up to it. Just after that things start getting tighter and pinstriping is definitely an issue. Obviously the fall colors are brilliant but I'm nervous they aren't going to last long, might only get one more video with them. Any time of year the mountain backdrop and bowl this trail ends in will be good though. Speaking of the trail ending, it ends abruptly at a hiking trail that leads up to a lake, I was trying to get another trail filmed so I skipped the hike but ended up being too late to film the 2nd trail. This was recommended to me by a viewer but I can't find the comment (not sure if here/Insta/Reddit etc) to credit them so if you're out there let me know! Also if you have any trails you'd like to see let me know as well!

My Tires:
amzn.to/2whk2MF
I love these tires. The only others I'd take are the BFG KO2 but they don't make them in this size and the KM2's are amazing. You can probably imagine the amount of driving I do weekly and how much abuse my tires get. These things last, everyone knows this, you've seen it in my videos.
My Tire Deflators:
amzn.to/2nYVxzU
These tire deflators have many $15 copies but the others just don't hold up or are inaccurate. I don't know what the deal is, they look identical to me too but read the reviews- they're bad. I've been using these Staun's for over a year and never had a problem, I air down a lot. Set them at the trail so your tires will be the same temp when you get to the trail next time.
My Compressor:
amzn.to/2PuerLH
There are better ones but I'd just get a bigger VIAIR, not something different. Airs up all my 33's from 14psi to 37psi in less than 10 minutes.
My Microphone:
amzn.to/2P1S3sb
My microphone is the worst good mic you can get. BUT don't be fooled, it's a very good mic. Picture me getting in my car for the 50th time after I just ran up and down a hill... for the 50th time. Do you see me disconnecting my mic and gingerly setting it in a case? No. It stays connected to the tripod, gets thrown into my plastic cargo area and bounces around with other heavy items until the next one. It gets terrible interference from WiFi so you must make sure that it's off on your camera or phone. If you are trying to use this with your phone you need to get a TRS to TRRS cable which RODE makes. This is required because your phone will think the mic is headphones.
My Tripod:
amzn.to/2o8h6hL
I went through 2 tripods in 1 month, a $20 and a $30. Buy it nice or buy it thrice. This thing gets opened and closed MANY times per week in rain, snow, dirt, and even in the middle of rivers. I love the 2-stage legs so i can make it real low in 2sec instead of shortening all the legs.
My Drone:
amzn.to/2KUGWAp
You can tell how easy it was to progress through my videos. Besides maybe five times, you've seen every bit of flying since I got it. I don't fly in the city and I don't go to the mountains and not make a video. It is VERY easy to use.
My Drone ND Filters:
amzn.to/2MHV0R0
The filters are a must. Again I have the worst ones and I am still very pleased. My first use was video #35 and I think it is very apparent. Illinois Gulch (#34 obviously) has a completely white sky, way too much blue. I'm still not even good about selecting the right one or changing them out but it's 10x better than nothing.
My Books:
amzn.to/2wmd20O CO
amzn.to/2BzDIBc CO North
amzn.to/2ByPuvy Moab
This is the stuff I've tested, this is what I like. I am very hard on all of my equipment frequently and it still works. I back all of these items and each company seems to back their product very well too. I guess it's easy to offer a warranty when your stuff doesn't break.

Are you kidding me Brother? That was one of your most scenically beautiful vids. Thanks
thank you thank you! definitely one of
my personal faves. actually one of the only good pictures on my Instagram is from here looking the opposite way on the river crossing. i was walking to the camera and thought “even better this way!” haha.
This brings back fond memories of when we would drive this track in the late 70"s in my dad's International scout. At that time you could drive to within a short distance of the lake. Thanks for sharing. I think I will visit this track once again myself soon.
awesome you should! sucks it’ll be shorter than you’re used to but i loved it.
Fantastic footage, sir... I appreciate you and your editing very much
thanks again buddy!
Awesome vid as usual! Thank you!
thanks bud!
Amazing video I love that trail. Those lakes and stream have lots of brook trout in them but don't tell anyone. Lol
haha and thanks! this was one of my favorites! couldn’t have been there at a better time, probably the best photo i’ve ever taken was on this trail. thanks for watching!
WOW! Another awesome video! I can truly appreciate the effort you put in to getting the shots and editing. I know you don't have lockers but you really are one with your rig and know how to get traction when you need it. I also love how you do add music to the drone footage but still let us hear the rig on the trail....perfect mix of two worlds. I hope to run into you again on a trail sometime. I only have one thing to say on the down side..........anyone who watches your videos is already planning on moving here to Colorado!! You show how beautiful our State is in an amazing way....Thank you!!!
haha thanks Outlaw! the Offroad/PRO-4X Xterra’s actually have a factory rear locker which i DID use in the rut section. the channel was supposed to be for people who have already picked a trail and want to see what it’ll be like so i’m sticking to that haha. thanks again!
B Roll Offroad
You really know to drive your rig. Impressive
@@BRollOffroad Very impressive....I can still pick out your driving skills...nice job! Love your YT channel!
@@outlaw9232 i was showing the ruts to somebody today and when my car stops moving at 4:43 i thought "that sure doesn't look like a locker.." so i watched it again. my drivers-rear is completely stopped and the front is spinning. if my transfer case is "locked" and the rear is locked the rear should be doing whatever the fastest front is right? now i'm wondering if it's broken or i forgot it haha.
@@BRollOffroad
I saw what you are talking about. If the rear was locked then both the driver and passenger side shouldn't stop turning. It almost looked like the rear wasn't engaged as locked. You can almost see the power shift from rear to front....I would think that if just the rear diff locks then it would be independent of the front axle ...???
Keep up the good work B Roll!👌
thanks bud! 🙌
this is amazing!
thanks man!
Wo that's the trail.
haha yea it’s pretty sick!
This is probably one of my most favorite videos! Amazing footage!
thanks! it’s probably my favorite of my own 👍
One of the best off road areas in CO just beyond Keystone. Great video.
yea it’s terrific, really wish i could’ve done Warden but probably wouldn’t have finished because an Xterra rolled on it that exact day. Justin King has a video i still need to watch..
Love watching an X climb like a goat...even if its a bald goat 🐐
haha we just fixed it yesterday, pics on my Insta story 👍
Thanks for the amazing footage! Gonna go check this place out this weekend!
awesome have fun!
fantastic video. Planning a trip up to CO for some solo 4x4 trails and this was great to see
hey thanks a lot! also if you’re new to the channel i have playlists by city and also difficulty 👍
@@BRollOffroad thanks! I’ll subscribe and check those out!
sick, you’re #4,600! welcome! also i mostly use TrailsOffroad.com if you don’t have it, i think it’s the best. plenty for free but it’s like $15yr for everything.
@@BRollOffroad Nice man! That's awesome! And thank you, I appreciate the info on the website.
On your drone footage, did you need to get permission to fly over these trails, or were you able to just go out and fly/film? We're new to the whole drone thing, but don't want to get into too much trouble while capturing footage of places we go. We know most of the places we can't film, but I figure you'd have more input on these trails specifically than I can google haha. Love the Xterra by the way.
no permission, it’s National Parks you need to worry about. Wilderness Areas can be for or against, have to look up each specifically. mostly everything out here is National Forest though which currently have no drone restrictions (besides height, 5mi from any airport etc) and BLM zones also has no restrictions unless they have a sign up. DJI does a pretty good job of letting you know if you can’t fly somewhere but the B4UFLY app is the best. unfortunately there’s not always cell service so it’s best to check before you go.
'Nother good one.
thank you!
Man l love your buggy my friend . awesome 3wheeling footage . Yep bro you done it again . ☠👍👍👍⛏💙
3 wheelin’s my fave haha, thanks Pirate!
Awesome adventure.👍😀
yea it was a great day. passed 3 rigs who were headed down and only 1 coming up when i was going down.
Love the look of the Xterra without the roof rack.
uh oh.. only one more video without it 😬
Nice wheel lifts my friend. I love the Colorado high country.
thanks buddy!
So Peru Creek Trail is one of my favorites in the entire State. Obviously this Trail is right off of Peru Creek Trail but I love that whole area. Absolutely epic trails in that area. In fact I was just there a month ago.
awesome! i was trying to do Warden Gulch but my timing was off. on my way in at 1:00pm i-70 East was stooped (like people walking around the interstate) from Empire to halfway down the hill on the other side of the tunnel almost to Dillon. i was trying to kill time but killed too much and couldn’t hit Warden but i’ll be back. thanks for watching!
@@BRollOffroad there's a small town name Montezuma right there. From the town there are a number of trails that take off up the mountain. One of these Trails is named Saints John... if you get a chance and find your way back to it is very cool Trail. Good chance you will even see mountain goats.
yea i loved Saints John, one of my favorite videos of my own. we also stayed in a cabin in Montezuma once, real cool place 👍
This one looks really fun!
yea it was a great day 👍
sick riding man! was around that area not too long ago
yea it’s pretty good, another area i don’t know why i stopped going to.
Awesome trail you can buy mining rights to that land up there. Great shots 🤙
damn didn’t know that, and thanks too!
Absolutely mint video. You are like me, when there is a flat piece of track head for the rough part😂 it would be good to see that lake full of water with the trees around the outside at the end. Just wondering what pressure you have your tyres on that terrain?
awesome thanks so much, i go to 15psi.
@@BRollOffroad Ok cheers👍
Since you do much solo driving, would be interested in a video detailing your preparations for issues with breakdown, recovery, getting stranded, accidents, etc if any.
This! I feel like rule #1 in 4-wheeling is to not go alone. Lol you never really liked rules I suppose...
not sure it warrants a video since i have a very simple approach haha. i always have my drawers with me which have 2 full sets of clothes, 5 pairs of socks and boxers, long johns, sweater, hat, rain jacket, parka, gloves, face mask. i also have 5-7 days of Mountain Houses plus a bunch of soup, snacks, water and other drinks. i have a recovery strap, a set of ActionTrax, shovel, axe, a couple hatchets, bunch of knives. i always have some kind of sleeping arrangement with me, first aid, tire plug kit, compressor etc. i fill up as close to the trailhead as possible even if i’m at 4/5 tank, i drive slow and since i’m filming i really inspect all obstacles. the most important though: i tell my gf the trail i’m doing and the route plus any possible trails i might end up on. if i’m not checked in or home in time she’d tell my buddy Justin with the van and because we’re best friends and he’s a mechanic he’ll have to deal with it from there haha. i’m not too worried about breaking a leg and no one finding me or something, i do a lot of trails and it’s extremely rare that i’ve gone a day without seeing someone. i’ve also been doing stuff like this my whole life, even in middle school i’d disappear for hours on the ATV, no helmet, running out of gas all the time haha. i also offroaded a long time before i started a channel so i’m pretty comfortable... but i also turn around a lot, i don’t complete 5-10% of the trails i try and then usually scrap the footage because i hate posting DNF’s. most of the time i’m saying “if i wasn’t alone i’d try this..” but if i AM alone that’s it, not worth it. sucks but at least i’m going to be in bed that night. at this point i’ve thought i was going to die or lose my car so many times i’ve really toned it down haha. i also used to drive semi’s and operate heavy machinery so i’ve been in some pretty hairy stuff a bunch, sorry this is so long, maybe i should make a video 😂
haha i always say you can’t even get more than 107mi away from a Mcdonald’s in the US, we’re never alone.

B Roll Offroad bathroom emergencies don’t count....
@@BRollOffroad I fucking love you.
Awesome JP! Watching this makes me want a Wrangler again so freaking bad. Nice work on the air-down, do have an on-board compressor or you just go to the gas station?
thanks bud, you should! i have a Viair hook-up-to-the-battery johnny. i was just looking around where i could mount it, kinda sucks getting it in and out and 10 people ask if i’m ok since my hood is up haha.
@@BRollOffroad awesome man! haha I hear you. This is so cool what you are doing. I want to go with you on a trip!
Would this be doable in a stock 01 pathfinder?
depends… haven’t been there in awhile so i’m not sure, sorry.
Wait, what did I miss? Where's the top of your Xterra?
UpTop Overland has been prototyping me one, just got v.1 on yesterday! i just put it on my Insta story 👍
Is it legal to fly your drone here??
it better be, i don’t post any illegal flying areas haha. there are trails like Bartlett Overlook where the beginning and end of the trail are within 5mi of Canyonlands Airport but the backside was far enough away to be fine. i use Maps, B4UFLY, and also DJI has a built in warning system. if i’ve missed something please let me know, is there a reason i couldn’t fly here?
@@BRollOffroad No I just planned on flying my drone here and online it says it’s part of the white river national Forrest but on the map it doesn’t even look like it’s in the national Forrest
ok cool haha, had me worried for a sec.
in case someone else comes across this: National Forest is always ok, not to be confused with National Park. as long as there are no active restrictions (B4UFLY helps here) and there aren’t any signs at the entrance… plus all the other stuff like 5mi from any airport, no active aircraft in area etc. but the point is National Forests are not a drone restricted zone.
no roof rack?
UpTop Overland is prototyping one, just got v.1 on yesterday!
