    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

There was maybe one obstacle that made it easier but the 5th Gen 4Runner traction control system did exceptionally well.

    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!

      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'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?

    • @JasonExplainsThings
      @JasonExplainsThings  28 днів тому

      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.
