Excellent recap. I took a group of scouts to Philmont in 2017-many of the same things y’all thought about were the same things we faced. It’s all about getting there-having fun-and getting home. This is a great review for anyone going out into the wilderness. The best equipment is what you can afford and work within your knowledge and equipment and have a great time away from the world
@@JasonExplainsThings I forget the channel's name, but the 2 brothers in Oregon with 5th Gen 4Runners compared getting through obstacles with & without a front locker and using A-TRAC. There was maybe one obstacle that made it easier but the 5th Gen 4Runner traction control system did exceptionally well.
i really enjoyed your videos that ive seen. thanks guys! i nailed down a date for the WABDR and im going soon... no one can (wants to) go with me this time, im doing the first half solo i guess. all my off-road pals are too old to sleep on the ground etc...i was the youngest one in our bunch and now i am about to step into geezerdom myself in a couple of years. to be fair, most of my off-road adventures have been rock crawling over the past two and a half decades. now i am wanting to camp and explore. i have a new vehicle for this purpose JT-DR (keeping my old jeep too) and i am very excited to meet like minded individuals who wanna do the same kind of stuff. i love the layed back, goofy friendship you guys have, im going to get there again!
Let's go guys! I've got so many ideas... I've wanted to do the whole WABDR, but I don't watch others videos on it, I need to to plan for it. Send it Bend it Mend it is coming to WABDR summer 2024 on a 2023 Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, on street tires. Pin it and win it, let's go! I'll be prepping to motocamp as my overland setup. I'll take up the front and scout at a faster pace, lol. Let's go, Gents!
Also remember. GMRS is illegal to use without a LICENSE! It’s super cheap ($35) to get, lasts several years (10), covers your immediate family and has very few but easy to follow rules. Please remember that promotion of illegal use of products can get you into trouble with the FCC too. Please visit the FCC or even Midland (the radios being discussed in this video) to find out more. Personally, With the popularity of the BDR I wouldn’t be surprised if the FCC started allowing rangers to report illegal use soon. Particularly in the west coast.
I'm new to getting into Overlanding but have always enjoyed backpacking and normal camping including some dispersed camping. Mostly what I'm lacking is a friend or group of similar minded people to go on these trips with and have fun out in the wilderness! I'd end up going alone or at best in one vehicle with a friend tagging along. Any tips for finding small groups open to having people join them?
Guys, you had mentioned Chumstick in some of your videos and didn’t know how the name originated. Chumstick is a name of a Native American Tribe from this area
We live 5 miles SW of Cashmere, WA. We’re very new to overlanding with our 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road. We’re wanting to make the trip from Wenatchee to Ellensburg. Ellensburg to the West Side of Washington. The trip from Cashmere to Chelan. But we can’t find what roads we’re supposed to take other than the typical I-90 route. What roads do we take to get to these places staying off the paved roads?
Check out our WABDR movie video. In the description we link to some GPS route and paper map resources. You’re essentially wanting to do the WABDR sections 3 and 4.

Front Locker and Heated steering wheel highly recommended!
LOL... whatever you guys! You're always sassing me. Maybe a front locker will be in my future. Who can say.
Preach.

Comment below! for which topic we need to revisit and shoot an in depth video.
Thanks to Chris for wearing clothes. Haha
The things I do for this channel... Under-appreciated 🙄
Go Sounders
My man. 👊
Great review of the trip! This really helps on a realistic approach to planning a successful WABDR trip! Keep up the good work gentlemen!
Thanks Brendan!
How do I get maps of trails in washington

Surprised you didn't talk about what kind of chair to bring 😁
I know. Sequel!
It's a very touchy subject for one person in particular. We'd get de-monetized.
Whatever.
EMP? Probably not as likely as a CME event which could disrupt satcoms. But give it time.

😂 wow. But yeah if you watch my older radio videos I talk about getting a GMRS license… and I’ve had mine since 2021.
How would I get the map for trails in Washington?

Yeah good question. I know there are regional Facebook groups and forums. If there’s a local 4x4 shop you can ask them as well.

Well that’s embarrassing for me. I live in a town named after a Native tribe.
@@JasonExplainsThings Wenatchee, Chelan, Issaqua?
We live in the mountains of Cashmere
Please cover “showering” as well, it’s dealbreaker for the wife not feeling clean.
Not a bad idea. I'm still figuring that out. On the WABDR trip it was a good old fashioned "camping shower" with dude wipes each morning. :-)
I brought along a pop-up shower tent and heated up some water one morning. Everyone else wanted to be stinky.
It’s true.

Both are fantastic by the way. Doing it early in the year may require a lot of cutting fallen trees.
@@JasonExplainsThings I know that you link the GPS, but links never appear on my phone so I can’t see them.
It’s very frustrating
@@JasonExplainsThings I’m having a major surgery in a few days and it’s a 2 month recovery period so we’re looking at July / August time line
5 rigs is perfect cuz I’ll be the sixth
Canada Mike is officially in!
Or just stay at Whistlin'Jack
Well now that doesn't count.
They do have rooms! I think we would get too many hate comments if we stayed there on an "Overland trip".
@@aevnate4140we don't want those comments, lol
