I just found your channel and really enjoy it! I originally found it because I'm looking to build a Astro/Safari next but then realized that I am almost positive that I ran into you on a trail last year just outside of Sisters, OR!? I look forward to watching your build and videos from the start and catching up! Cheers from Central Oregon.
You can thank Weyerhaeuser for those closed gates, but that's another story. You should check with Donald @ Softroading the west. He does a lot of coast range exploring.
I've only just recently found Don's channel. He's got good content... ill have to pay more attention and see if I can figure out where he's accessing public land. After thinking about this particular trio and how completely trashed some of the sites were, I can't really blame timber companies for closing their land. So many people dumping their trash out there.
Happy birthday, though it sounds like this was in august. Are you going to put a bed in the van? that winch bumper just uses the two factory mounting holes on each side?
Yeah... my second year of creating content and it looks like my pattern will likely be to take advantage of good weather to go overlanding and work on editing during the times when the weather is poor. So at times I'll be releasing content in the winter that was shot over the summer. I'm actually starting to experiment with a bed build now (look for that in a future video soon) You would be correct about the winch bumper mounts, but they are very robust bolts and mounts. Ive not heard of anyone having any issues with this setup. We've not yet put a winch on... that will be coming soon as well.
@@LoveTribeOverlandYa man, make hay when the sun shines!!! That's what I figured looking at pictures from their website, I'm just playing around with weather or not to stuff a winch behind the stock bumper hoping to make the fair lead mount just below the license plate in the factory indent, but it's a little tight and perhaps a little low I dunno, was thinking about adding a few more through bolts through the frame potentially, still playin around with it, but just seeing I guess journeys feels it's tough enough to yank from those mounting holes.

Welcome! And thanks for the feedback! It's entirely possible... we were out there in August and again in October.
