That’s central Washington there!! Not “eastern” til you hit the Columbia and stop seeing trees 😂
Honestly, everything east of the cascades is “Eastern” to me.
Plenty of trees in eastern Washington. Atleast not "central" eastern, but around Spokane and Colville
Only people that live there even know there is a central and eastern Washington
User name checks out😂
It didn’t say eastern. It said head east
What a great time my friend! 🙌
It was one we'll never forget! Thanks for being our host in Washington, can't wait to go back!
Look up KDMax Tune for the Tacoma. Just had it done a month ago, it will remove many of the problems you've described in the video.

Hey Nate what air pressures are you running on those stock tires?
@@AnthrozoologyTV I believe it was 14 rear 11 front. Can't remember exactly now. Might have been 18 rear. I know the trailer threw me off of what I would normally go to
I love it when you hop in with your friends along the drive and asking them some questions. Even just hanging out and seeing you guys enjoy your time together is a great addition to the videos!
Can't wait to start my Adventures & Build
I am continually impressed by the effort put into the camera work and editing of all of these TrailRecon episodes. 'Very nice!
Thank you very much!
@@TrailRecon ..i can imagine how hard it must be to stop from time to time to take those great shots from different angles..but I have one question does your friends get fed up or do they complaint about it..?? I am really curious to know.. 😀😀
I live about 25 minutes from that area. Those are my hunting grounds for big mule bucks in the fall. Lots of great trails. I follow you guys and watch all your videos and I’m happy to see that you guys are out in eastern Washington.
A great area and we saw lots of evidence of wildlife up there. Thanks!
Don’t give away the good spots 🤦♂️
Incredibly fun to watch and live vicariously through you guys. The east coast has its uniqueness but BDR, not so much. Brad, you are quite the gentleman to ensure your wife is safe and enjoying the adventure as well. She is a lovely person.
I've completed 5 BDR's in the last 12 months. Fantastic routes. Highly recommended.
I have been following you since you were small and when you just started posting videos tell you this is one of the best videos I seen or importantly I like the part that you had your wife in there speaking about her feelings and how she needed to relax more and appreciate that and I think that’s the goal that you’re trying to achieve with everyone to get out get on these trails get yourself a nice rig and really enjoy this country and enjoy the outside. What you are demonstrating so this country is such a beautiful country and if we take some advice from your wife that we should just relax leave our 9-to-5 back at home and enjoy it and I tell you this video brings out all of that keep it up you’re doing a great job
What a great trip. I liked your chat with Regina. Especially saying spending time with you was the best part.
It was perfect.
Really appreciate the camera work on these videos Brad. Thanks for keeping the bar set very high!
Thank you!
And for Brad's choice of music, too! Excellent production.
Very impressed with your channel. My fiancé and I enjoy watching and learning from you. It is my hope to travel all over the States and live this life daily. Please please start posting your camping recipes. The food each of you cook looks amazing, especially your wife's cilantro, tequila chicken tacos. Please post her recipe. She needs to have a TrailRecon food channel on UA-cam. Seriously.
Those bed campers are the best possible choice for overlanding in my opinion. There is nothing worse than having to tote behind a trailer when trying to enjoy the sights and sounds of traveling. Now if only I could afford one.
“Rivers, mountains and trees” I’m with you lady.
You group of guys are exactly the type of guys i like to hang out with. I think you and your wife are amazing and work good together. So glad to see you 2 get away out in the mountains and enjoy each others company. What a great series of vids. Keep up the great work bro.
Thanks 👍
Retirement is a blast! I have been at it for 11 years now and since I get to do what I want to do with my time now every day is an adventure. I hope you enjoy your retirement for many years to come especially when your wife gets to as well. Thanks for all the great content and sharing your adventures.
Same here. Retired from the u.s.n. in 1988.
I Love Camping.
Love the adventures and encouragement to overland!
Glad to see WA trails being highlighted on your channel! Thanks for showing your viewers what we have to offer here. Glad to see you had a great time!
Washington is awesome! It’s probably my favorite state!
When you’re towing a trailer (or not) and you’re going over mountain passes, put your Tacoma into ECT Mode and “manually” shift your automatic transmission.
That’s what the ECT Mode is for. It the “power” mode for your Tacoma.
Whenever we go to Seattle and go over Blewitt Pass (hywy 97) and over Snowqualmie Pass (I-90), I put my Tacoma TRD Off Road into ECT Mode every time.
As a Jeep Liberty owner, it does my heart good to see the red KJ hanging with the Power Wagon, Tacoma, and Gladiator! It’s a capable little rig.
Ditto, I love mine.
i dont think Capable is the best word to use when it clearly became hot from going up the hills.
@@michaelbourne9782 Nate said he had removed the mechanical fan, so the over temperature was his fault, not the Jeep's.
@@laurenhoward8397 Nah..its a jeep.
The heat issue this time might be a fan deal, but heat vapor is a known deal on several of those those models including the patriot. Need to keep that fan turning etc, and often times add heat shielding around the fuel injector rail, etc.
You guys are my favorite collaborators. Awesome views and awesome positivity. Thank you!
Pleasure getting to meet your wife. My wife and I agree with her love of trees/mountains/rivers/lakes. Glad the Powerwagon camper setup is perfect for enjoying adventures together. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you Brad and Regina for sharing your adventure with us all. My wife and I are exploring the UP of Michigan and doing it together is so much more fun. Regina joining the adventure and videos has really added a lot to your already excellent channel. Cheers!
@trailrecon, i think she likes you, and not shy about it. So cool. It is always nice to see a couple who like each other.
Nate looked kinda sad you guys were done, like almost chokin em back a little. You gotta love that guy! Amazing trip, Washington looks so nice, gonna have to get up there and explore one of these days!
Lived near here for 12 years. Loved it.
Love these adventure overland videos from you, man! They always inspire us to get back out there ourselves!
that's awesome to see family doing thing like that
Would absolutely love to see you both doing some harder wheeling together with the JK and TJ. Awesome video as always 👍👍
Everyone loves and misses Marco. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Oh man, thank you for doing that! This is something accessible for me and many more local enthusiasts. Great motivation. More of us need to get and explore our own backcountry, so we understand how important it is to protect our public lands!
I agree! I love getting out on the WABDR. Right there in our backyard!
nice to Regina so happy. Great video
What a great adventure, made even better with Miss Regina coming along.
Reminds me of when I was a young man traveling with my buds in a Jeep camping all over the west coast.Thanks for taking me along on your epic adventure. Peace!
Thank you for making such positive videos @trailrecon !
Thanks for taking us along. Beautiful views.
I love to see Mrs. TrailRecon with you. I know my overland adventures wouldn't be the same without the intrepid Mrs. Pithler.
Glad that Regina has some insightful comments about pros/cons of the trip. I always take too much food. I like the idea of stopping in small towns to re-stock as needed.
26:05 Some great tips from Regina on packing!
One Of My Favorite Adventures! I love my 2020 Ram 2500 though it is not a Powerwagon it is still fairly capable. Seeing Family and Friends come together of a common interest is awesome. I am glad Regina was able to enjoy herself and want to do it more in the future. If you are even in Northern New England I'd love to tag along and maybe learn a thing or two!
what an amazing trip. Thank you for exploring our extended backyard. Nate and Matt sure did an amazing job!
What a trip! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Fabulous scenery!
Nice trip,wonderful couple,everything was awesome,thank you for the video
Looks like an amazing trip guys. Loved every moment of it
Enjoying you new video with my morning cuppa tea 🍵 here in
*Victoria Australia, stay awesome*
Good morning!
How cool, love it
This is one of my favorite areas, I'm glad you had the chance to visit it!
These videos are just awesome
such a beautiful area! great to see your campsites🌲🌲🌲
Great series! glad you guys had a good time up here, i love this state.
Great trip!
That is a yes. when I grew up in Montana we went antelope hunts in the East. we can a camper. slept great. but we didn’t have electric water pump. it was a hand pump in kitchen. still had a blast. :-)
Great off road adventure I did the drive with friends 5 yrs ago
Nice to see you and your wife enjoyed some well deserved time together exploring and wheeling. I guess diesel is here to stay at last. Three different diesel rigs and only one gas powered truck (mostly diesel overseas). Nice!
Amazing scenery - good stuff as always. That little Jeep Liberty is pretty sweet too.
Pretty landscapes with green grass and forests are not the only thing with overlanding. Being remote is such a great feeling, in fact it's the best feeling in my opinion. Although you have a lot of people travelling with you, maybe not as good for the remote feel of peace and serenity.
Did the same route the opposite direction of travel, and the bridge was "still there" a couple of years back beautiful scenery!!
My very first night in my FWC, which was at Trona Pinnacles, the wind was 40 with gusts to 50. I used the furnace to keep the temps over 50, but it was dang loud!
Now that I'm retired, I plan to do all the BDR's and the CDT.
I've spent over 50 nights in my FWC since I got it in Feb of this year, and I STILL over pack!
safe travels 🙏
Absolutely love the WABDR!
I've done those sections twice and it so beautiful as you guys have said.
i'll give you a tip with those pancakes. Mix them in a ziploc bag and cut the corner off. Then you can squeeze it out almost like frosting. Super easy!
That was a great video. Well done. Enjoyable to listen to this.
Very Awesome.. looking forward to your next adventures!!!!!!!! Keep wheeling !!!!!!!!!!!!
When you promise her ''One day, I gonna put the world at your feet'' and FINALLY YOU DELIVER! 9:52
EDIT:RESPECT for mr. Brad!!! 👊🏼
Amazing trip great video
The fire that took that bridge out almost took my parents home. I travel that area regularly. Its basically my back yard!
You make camping look so amazing. I have a 2014 2door Jeep Rubi that has some nice work done to it when I bought it from Jeep. I beg my wife to let us buy a little tear drop trailer and go camping like you guys do it but she simply does not like to “rough it”. So for now, I live my camping life vicariously through you. Thank you for all the beautiful scenery
The trick I found was to get a truck and camper with all the amenities for her and tow the jeep ;) But then my wife has always camped with me. She did the first 180 miles of the BDR with me in our 2 door Rubi with an RTT and she enjoyed it! It was a win, we just had to camp where there were facilities and Bethel Ridge is NOT one of those places LOL
Love the Bob Seger on the radio! Keep up the adventures!
Great video, love watching all your adventures, keep them coming!
YES!!!! Learn to relax👍🏼 it's awesome😬 great, great videos. Thank you
Amazing trip. Thanks for letting us tag along.
I'm glad someone like this filmed at Washington state
Fantastic vid, great trip, love to see you and your wife out and about together.
Passed your group on the Bethel Ridge route, good to see you, wished we would have realized it was you in the moment! Glad you enjoyed your time in the PNW!
fantastic keep putting those trip out love the realist and true videos
Hi. Eastern Wa resident here. I think it's really cute that you think that was "super windy." LOL
I moved away from home(Eastern Washington) a little over a year ago, and I do not miss the wind. West side gets rain and the East gets lots of wind.
Brad, your videos are awesome and I thoroughly enjoy your travel logs. Your trip to the Washington coast was really scenic and it looks like you and your wife had a lot of fun there. My wife and I will be going there next month. We also look forward to exploring some of the places you have visited over the years. I am always looking at maps for great trails to explore. There is a trail called the Magruder Corridor road, which is a 123 mile dirt road between Elk City, Idaho, and Darby, Montana (Forest Road 468). It winds through some very scenic wilderness, and there are some offshoot trails and USFS camp sites along the way. It looks like it would be perfect route for your Powerwagon camper. There are a lot of U-Tube videos that people have filmed while traveling this route. It looks like it would be a really neat adventure and it is definitely on my bucket list to explore. Keep on wheelin’ and happy trails! Regards, Mark (US Navy Retired).
Great video. Takin' it easy and having fun. Travel safe.
This video was awesome.
I'd just like to of seen more of the inside the campers.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Seemed like an awesome trip.
Awesome Video !!!!
Awesome video!!!!
Absolutely amazing, travel well!
Been looking forward to this video. We had just ran that section of trail northbound the day before when we saw that you guys were on it. I'm impressed you squeezed that Powerwagon through those tight spots. Glad you enjoyed the scenery! Love that trail. Hopefully you'll be back to do the rest soon. Thanks for giving Mt Adams a shout out.
That Liberty is awesome..never knew those could look so cool when outfitted with overlanding gear
Good old ellensburg wind!
Enjoyed a lot , good luck guys and thanks for such a wonderful video
What a great video and narration 👍👍👍
I just did the BDR for the first time a few months ago. So glad you got to experience it. Love your content!
Hey man, this video is very well shot and your commentary is super calming. Keep up the good work!
Another great video! Loved watching every second of it
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing Trip. Good job with the video.
I love this channel!! started watching for the Jeep content but now dude sweet dreams are made of this for me.
I went to college in Ellensburg, it's a great area to explore, glad you enjoyed it.
I love Washington … especially the views from the Seattle Great Wheel 😍
Love this . My husband and are planning an overland trip . We recently did a trip to Newfoundland with out truck and roof top tent . Loved it but I think we might like a slide in truck camper !!
You have an awesome channel. It reminds me of Fred Trost and Michigan out of doors or Wilderness Journel. It has that same vibe.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventure.
incredible view / video
My husband got me into watching your videos and I love them! I get such wanderlust whenever I see where you go, so beautiful. I'd love to know your music playlist for your videos, it is amazing!
