Great to see you folks again!! That was quite the adventure!! We understand the lack of time or inspiration to get videos out. We appreciate your effort Warmer weather is coming!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words and understanding! We are really excited about this year and the potential for many adventures that we will get share with everyone!
I have to reply again cause I was only in the beginning of the video! You guys are freaking amazing! Helping people and being there for them in the time of need! You guys were there! Also I follow a lot of UA-camrs from Ozark overlanding, the story to now aka the “STN” and the “Epic Family Road Trip” this video was so insane! You guys Rock just like all I mentioned and I hope you do many more videos!! You have so many subscribers and more importantly supporters that enjoy your videos!! Keep it up and don’t give up!! We all Love yas!! “Stay Strong” 💪🏻 my wife and I Love Yas
Thank you so much for the kind words and subscribing!! I think that getting a trip together with them might possibly be happening sometime in the future 😉
Good to see you again. I’ve been looking for your videos. I know it’s hard to keep the ball rolling. If you don’t post regularly you fall off the radar. Glad you’re not giving up. Good luck going forward.
We seriously debated on backing down the mountain, but with being on a shelf road, nowhere to turn around, and how icy it was, it seemed like our best option was to continue moving forward. I'm glad you had the option to turn around! If we thought it would have been safer, we would have done the same! (But then we wouldn't have all this good footage now, would we?) 🤣 Thanks so much for the comment!
Same, we had to stay on the trail for at least 3 miles before we found a spot to turn around at. There was a cherokee parked there and it looked like they walked the full trail out instead of trying to drive back.
I know that exact spot. On the right side there are a couple rock shelves, and on the hill to the right of that are a couple of natural springs (there are lots along that trail). In the winter, it results in hard pack ice in many spots like that one, making it very dangerous. The rock shelf makes it so that it sends you toward the edge with momentum. I got stuck in that exact spot about three years ago and now won’t go back in the winter. Those guys are lucky you came by with a winch.
There were definitely some valuable lessons learned on this trip. It makes us realize that it doesn't matter what the trail rating is, weather can change the difficulty of the trail in a heartbeat. Thank you for following our trip and commenting!!
Life has been crazy, but we are hoping to get out there more than we did last year! 🤣 Some of our favorite trips have been out in the snow, it's like a different world. And the kids absolutely love getting to experience snow like this. You don't see it often like this where we are from in NC. Flagpole Knob will probably be an annual trip every winter for us to get our snow fix! Thanks for sticking around and watching our adventures, it means a lot!
@dealinwithit1 Thank you! We have a Rough Country 9500 pro series with synthetic rope. It's not the best winch out there, but it definitely gets the job done!
Great video! Looks like you guys have an extra "e" in the link for Bunker Industries. I copied and pasted it and the link didn't work. After looking closer, I found that typo. Throwin' a Jeep wave to you guys!
Do you think momentum would've helped ? I'd imagine it's hard to speed through there because you have no control. I feel like going slow is probably worse right?
I know chains work well on actual roads. I'm not sure how well they would work on dirt and mud. We typically just lower the tires' air pressure and hope for the best!🤪
Depends. Momentum without directional control in slippery conditions on the side of a shelf road not good, getting over an obstacle is ok but you risk damage to vehicle from unseen rocks under snow. Being in freezing temps with a broken vehicle still a risk. Better to take time and build the road with a shovel, use a winch and traction boards etc.
@GhostNinjaTactical oh gosh, that was all of us. We have about 20-30 slip n falls from all of us. It was so slippy, and the hill was just steep enough that we could create a 10 minute blooper reel from all the times we fell. 😅

Great video. I have a gladiator and I love to go snow wheeling as well.
Thank you! You would have loved the flagpole knob area if you like snow wheeling!
Glad i found your channel, that Gladiator looks amazing in the snow.
We are glad you found our channel as well! We totally agree with you. The gladiator was really looking good out there 😍. Thank you for the comment!

New subscriber here. Just found your channel. Great job helping everyone out. That’s amazing.
Thank you for checking out our channel and subscribing. We really appreciate you! It was a great group of guys, and we were glad to help out!
We all Love you Guys as well, so happy to see y’all back out! Be Strong and be blessed
Thank you so much!
Welcome back, Glad to see y'all out exploring again.
We are glad to be back! Life got a little hectic over the last year, but we are hoping to get back at it! Hope we see you soon!
Glad to see you guys back out there.
We sure missed the adventures. Thanks for following along and sticking with us!

This means the world to us! It's wonderful people like you and your wife that make all of this worth it!
Great video, glad to see you're still out there exploring! Keep making the videos!
We plan to get out there as often as life allows us to. Thank you for sticking around and watching our videos, it means a lot to us!
Great seeing y’all again
It's great to be back!
Glad you’re back. Missed the videos!
Thanks for sticking with us! We missed making them, too.
Don’t you know stone camp would be a wild ride from flagpole knob to meadow knob .
We have done Stone Camp, Flagpole, Union Springs, and Dunkle Hollow. Looks like we will need to go back to run Meadow Knob!
Loved the video, Just subscribed! Maybe a wheeling trip with the guys you helped minus the snow in the future?
Thank you so much for the kind words and subscribing!! I think that getting a trip together with them might possibly be happening sometime in the future 😉
Awesome! Missed yall! I had to be here first! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@bobbymedlin4635 i knew you'd be first 😘

Thank you so much for the reply and motivation! We're going to keep posting our adventures regardless!
I hit a slippery spot like that the other day, decided best option was turning around

I wondered what happened to yall. I love driving in the snow!

You guys are brave, I would not go in a mountains in the condition like this.
Adam has to get his andrenalin pumping somehow..... 🤣🤣🤣 Miss you, Yevgeniy! Let's try to plan a trip in the spring when the weather is nicer.
@GoCarolinaWild absolutely, my kid just put rubicon axels on my jeep so we can go do some more advanced stuff
Let us know when you want to go out, we will join you!
Good vid, kudos for looking out , what winch are you using it seemed to do the work…
@dealinwithit1 Thank you! We have a Rough Country 9500 pro series with synthetic rope. It's not the best winch out there, but it definitely gets the job done!
Please tell me he was aired down. Glad to see y'all posted again!
@darrenwege8330 yeah, he was aired down to 20psi! I was aired down to 12psi, but the ground was so icy it didn't help much!
@@GoCarolinaWildy'all are such good people. Much respect.
Thank you so much. That means the world to us!
Just wondering..y'all still have your Opus?
@darrenwege8330 we sure do! We didn't bring it out with us this time, but we plan on taking it out with us next time!
Great video! Looks like you guys have an extra "e" in the link for Bunker Industries. I copied and pasted it and the link didn't work. After looking closer, I found that typo. Throwin' a Jeep wave to you guys!
Thank you for the heads up, I just fixed it! Thank you for the kind words and comment as well!
Do you think momentum would've helped ? I'd imagine it's hard to speed through there because you have no control. I feel like going slow is probably worse right?
And how about chains? I just moved to the states and haven't done any snow wheeling so just learning
Momentum definitely helps! You sort of have to find that sweet spot...not too fast, not too slow!
I know chains work well on actual roads. I'm not sure how well they would work on dirt and mud. We typically just lower the tires' air pressure and hope for the best!🤪

Truth
Life happens...post when you can
We are hoping to post more frequently!
those dudes needed to air down to about 5 psi n pray they dont push a tire off the bead.
also new here... yalls generousity is worth a subscribe hands down! good on ya!
They probably could have aired down a bit more, but it was so icy in some spots that I don't think it would have made that big of a difference 😬...
Thank you so much for your kind words and subscribing!! We love having the opportunity to help anyone we come across out on the trails!
The dude that kept slipping either was slightly drunk or his shoes have to worst traction ever.
@GhostNinjaTactical oh gosh, that was all of us. We have about 20-30 slip n falls from all of us. It was so slippy, and the hill was just steep enough that we could create a 10 minute blooper reel from all the times we fell. 😅
