    Gotta say man… I’m a huge Jeep guy and follow the big Jeep UA-camrs (story til now, epic family road trip, etc)… but the thing that’s got me stuck on your channel is the amazing cinematography and most of all, your music selection during your drone shots. You do a really good job of picking out music that compliments the video! Keep it up.

    My wife and I were in the area April 25 - 28. Not sure when you were there but I’m guessing same weekend. I believe you were in 3 Fingers ahead of us because I rebuilt the fire pit the night we were there and it looks like it’s still like it was when we rolled up on it. We stayed the next night at Birch Creek, and the Warmsprings at 3 Forks the last night. We only live a couple hours away from the Owyhee’s but have never made it out there until now. We wanted to hit the high points on this trip. Future trips will be extensive exploration. It will be fun to explore the Succor Creek area more, and find that assume 2nd night campsite. Safe travels and keep the videos coming. For those that have not been to this area, you better make it happen. There is a very high probability that this area will be designated a National Monument by the end of this year. After that the management plan can and more than likely will close off all of the back country routes.

    It's always interesting to see my back yard from the perspective of others. I live less that an hour from where your first camp was and am very familiar with most of the areas you were going through out there. You did a great job of documenting the Owyhees at their best: in the Springtime when everything is still fresh and green. Thanks for taking us along on your travels!

    I got behind on my UA-cam watching. Watched this a day after you posted it. I gotta say I think this is your best work. Loved all the different shots on the drive to the off-road. Music and the story along the trail were all so good. 15:32 should be a bronco commercial, such an epic shot. The UA-cam live during this was a good time too. I only wish this video was longer.

  • @johnkiefer1314

    Great video! It is very important that we all wheel responsibly and leave no trace. Large sections of the Owyhee BLM lands are currently under federal consideration for National Monument designation, and simultaneously as Wilderness Area. Of those, NM is the better option because it still allows some wheeling (but it also could lead to extensive road closures so we need to be involved as a wheeling community). WA designation would close all roads to overlanding (within the WA). Areas under consideration way will include quite a large number of the most attractive terrain and ecology in the region. WA designation is unlikely to pass Congress, but NM can be signed solely by the POTUS and evidently has the support of multiple regional stakeholders (tribes, congressmen, ranchers, desert conservationists). It is important overlanders have a seat at the table. And that our voice isn’t diluted by the actions of idiots that go off trail and tear up the sage brush or destroy historic structures when we get stuck or harass wildlife or leave trash behind.

    RE: locked gate. My understanding was that the public land cannot be locked unless it is permit only and none of Owyhee is--correct me if I have heard wrong. I have run into locked gates in Owyhee but they were always marked as private land on the gaigps "Public Land" layer. Did OnX not catch that?

      Larceny is real good. I just use bulleit because it has a nice barrel spice that holds up well to added sweetness. I like to still have that punch from the bourbon. Something like woodford or eagle rare are too smooth and sweet and just get lost in the drink. At least to me

    And I'll be touring the area in a few weeks, partly due to your videos, keep up the good work.

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  6 місяців тому

      There was actually a pad lock on it, and it’s an area owned by the state. It said there is cattle in the area so I’m assuming they just want to keep them all in there. There’s also some bulls in the owyhees, but they are kept behind closed gates cause they are aggressive
