    We stopped at John Day last year on the way to Bend. Totally agree, not worth a dedicated trip, but definitely a must see if it's on your route. We just got back from a 2 week trip to Utah, have Overland Expo PNW coming up, but man, I want to make it out to the Owyhees for sure. We did our very first "overlanding" on the way back by taking part of the Utah BDR home. It was the most fun I think I've ever had. Definitely got the bug for sure. And yours and Venture2Roam and TSTN, amongst others, definitely have inspired me to get out there and just explore. Keep up the great content! 👊

      No that’s has not been my experience at all actually. I’m assuming you put the cushion strips between the plate and the body panel right? That’s the only thing I could think of. Also possible that something loosened up after the first outing

    Lovely videos! I want to start doing overland with my new Black Diamond Bronco. As you know, this model doesn’t have front lockers. Do you think this is essential to go to places similar as yours? How often do you use the front locker option? Thank you so much in advance!

    • @husker_nation
      @husker_nation 4 місяці тому +1

      Just depends on what kind of wheeling you're doing. I don't have a Bronco yet, I have a Cherokee Trailhawk with a rear locker and I barely use that. When off-roading like this video, you barely use the lockers. Lockers really help out though on more like rock crawling or very slippery conditions that you're going at steep angles at. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  4 місяці тому +2

      Most of the time I never use the lockers honestly. It is pretty rare that I actually have to use them. I did a video called “caught trespassing” where I had to use the front locker. I tried the rear locker first and it didn’t help. But it’s very rare to actually have to use them depending on how hardcore you are

    @kevinstarski1598 4 місяці тому

    Coming from a hiker perspective/bias, these UA-camrs, like this one and Venture 2 Roam (both recently left jobs to pursue this) are leaving quite a bit on the table by limiting themselves to the roads only. Now, their vehicles are very capable, and what saves them could be the drones, but honestly the fact that they don't (to my knowledge) start exploring by foot (5 minute walks don't count lol ), reach different local high points, get different perspectives angles is very surprising...maybe it's just something new to them and didn't realize how much it would enhance not only the channels but most importantly their own experience. Just a suggestion :-) PS. I enjoy these shows regardless :-)

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  4 місяці тому

      You’re not wrong. I can only speak for me personally, but I have a bad knee and messed up lower back, so hiking just hurts for me. As much as I’d love to explore on foot more, it’s a balance of seeing what I can while managing pain. I am going to add a bike in my adventures to be able to get out and explore further though. But thanks, I’m glad you still enjoy them!

    Why is it channels like yourself and Venture2Roam go out and profit off of these areas with your movies but you never promote or make a video about helping out the Blue Ribbon Coalition who fights to keep this stuff open. Last week they started putting up all the new gates and closed most of the side roads. All the UA-camrs are no where to be found when you could use your channel to spread awareness of what BLM is closing

      UA-camr here. I specifically ran a trail that’s being shut down to promote action to fight the closure. I got so much hate in the comments from people blaming me for the closure that I won’t ever do it again. UA-cam commenters who blame UA-camrs for every problem are the reason I won’t.

      BRC efficacy is questionable at best. To my knowledge they’ve won nothing they have pursued and seem to be a way for the owner to make money, given his high salary. I would rather donate straight to BLM and national forest service (as I have done) then send money to an organization like that.
      I know it’s super easy to place the blame UA-camrs for places getting shut down. But the fact is me and my friends do so responsibly and show the importance of cleaning up after yourself and others and recreating by using the tread lightly principles.
      But I do understand. They are one of the few groups that are trying to do anything. I just can’t get behind them personally

And for clarification I wasn’t blaming UA-camrs for the closures just wondering why we never see any standing up or making the public aware of attending meetings. Donating to BLM is like giving the enemy ammo in a war. It is the Blue plan of our Government who are running this agenda. Trust me I spent a lot of years on the wheel and know what happens in the Halls.

      @paularmost8671 I think it’s a matter of being under funded and personnel shortage which leads to trails being shut down.

Doesn’t mean we can’t all try every approach to helping, this is just the way I feel if effective
