    Holy crap guys that was hair raising - whoa that was excellent driving !!! Just watching the trailer and the Jeep slipping around and trying to manoeuvre over that slick mud! That was mad !! This is where your experience and skills come in to play!

    Great vid as usual, and great poise in handling that goo. That mountain mud is deceptive and you just have to respect it and not push yourself or your rig. Several years ago I got sideways in a ditch like that in Southern Colorado and my rig ended up going all the way over on it's side. Stupid me I wasn't belted and separated my shoulder falling over to the passenger side. Had to climb out the driver's door and walked about 2 miles to a hunter's cabin further down. Thank Heaven there was someone there - he was able to snacth my pickup back on to the road and even drove me to Pueblo to get my shoulder taken care of. Lesson learned about respecting that mud and endless thanks to the hunters that helped me.

    That drone shot at 5:15 ! Come on! Amazing. If you end up in a ditch like that again, just ride the ditch as far as you can and if you need to get out, run up the far side of the ditch and cut back toward the trail. In muck like that, wheel speed is really important to clear the lugs on your tires. Just my experience. You did really well just sliding along, under control. The trailer doesn't care where it's going at that speed. LOL You guys have the best adventures! Also, trailers are the devil!

    That's life... not the 9-5 grind that this world has made us do. We work 80% of our lives and enjoy less than 5%. Always chasing that carrot that we'll never get. Folks, don't forget that first off life is in Christ, and when you have that, you can truly enjoy life. You see nature different.. you see the perfection, care, power, and intelligence of a loving Father. It's truly amazing. Don't get caught up in this world chasing a dream that most will never have, but EVERYONE can have the peace of Christ and that's something the world can never take from you.

    Wow, that was crazy sliding down the muddy road. I did that once in UT. The trick to the mud is to air down to 10 lbs, put both front and rear lockers on then drive slow. You need all the traction you can get. Also drive in wheel low.

    Pete and Carol it was a nice treat to enjoy your weekly video a day early. We were on the edge of our seats watching you crawl down that muddy hill! In Texas we go to a place called creekside for the sole intention of getting that muddy!!! But when we do it we do it with friends to pull us out and a wash station on the way out of the park! LOL Good job getting down that hill! Very impressive to see you take it on with such patience and smart to get out when you had a chance. Safe Travels!! xo

    Oh my goodness, kids. You had this old lady sweating bullets when you were driving down that muddy road! I was praying, crying and biting my nails, yes, all at the same time! 😊 I know you both were worried about the condition of the road. Dear hearts, you kept your cool, stayed calm and conquered!!!! I didn't like that flat space were you camped with that storm coming, but you knew that it was okay to hunker down on that spot. I have to say, before the muddy experience, the views of the mountains were beautiful. So, my sweets, may God continue on keeping you safe and I'll be waiting for the next video. Let's stay away from muddy roads up in the mountains, please.....just kidding, I'll go with you guys anywhere. Hugs and blessings!!!

    Beautiful ethereal views and mountain panorama. Lovely to be along for the ride. Well…. The greasy mountain road had me a bit on edge, but your calm heads prevailed. “Listen to the locals.” So enjoy your channel. I did a 9000 mile National, state park and blm loop around America in 2021 (in my Venza all-wheel), an amazing experience. I will definitely do another trek soon.

    Those tires look pretty hard.
    In mud I lower my tire pressure to 16, and in really slick stuff ( like you had) down to 12.
    It gives you almost double the tire patch!!

    Your idea of awesome and mine are very different. Nothing about that trip was worth risking your safety. I live in Vermont and look outside my window and see mountains and unbelievable beauty. I’m still shocked your trailer didn’t flip and will be surprised if you didn’t do any damage to it besides the scraping of paint from all the brush that raked against you.

    That coffee grinder looks familiar (Lifestyle Overland) 🙂 Super slick mud is the worst, patches of adobe mud in southern California is like that, it turns any tire into slicks and the only way around the problem is snow chains and I don't mean those strap things, I'm talking about real chains.
