  • Join David and Holly as they continue their overlanding journey from north to south of Wyoming by way of the Backcountry Discovery Route (BDR). In Episode 1 they traveled through Section 8 and now Section 7 will start them at the Bear Lodge in Burgess Junction, WY and take them to Ten Sleep, WY through some of the most beautiful scenery of the whole trip, where they meet up with one of the Hatchet Overland (David's camper manufacturer) owners, Craig Fischer.
    Section 7 is 119 miles descending the Big Horn Mountains (north to south) from Burgess Junction, WY to Ten Sleep, WY. We elected to take the 22 mile long expert section over remote Woodchuck Pass (9636 elevation). Section 7 including the expert section is spectacular and deserves as much time as you can spare to fully enjoy it!
    Travel dates: August 14-15, 2022

      Don’t feel bad about skipping parts of the bdr if on 4x4… while some would be a blast on a bike, it gets old in a 4 wheel! Thanks for watching!

      My advice is to take 2 days to do section 7, especially with the expert section. It’s truly that beautiful that you want to stop often to take it all in. Someday we’ll do this section again to properly film it with a drone. There are fantastic spots all along the trail for camping.

    Great video, can't wait to tackle that BDR! Is that a large Ipad with Gaia GPS you're using for navigation?

    • @aMAYSingLife
      @aMAYSingLife  Рік тому

      yes, thats the 12.9" mounted using the left mounting bolt for the grab handle and a ram mount with a ipad holder with ram mount. Honestly it would be better to have a mini as it gets a little in the way of the passenger but its what i have. sure makes navigation nice though. so much better than in dash. plus, i then use in dash for other things, like fuel stops, or restaurants etc.. keeps them separate really makes it easier.

    Its hard to tell from the map. If rain, are you suggesting bypass the section from Hyattville to Ten Sleep? I will be on a GS, you remember, what you road before you went to the 4x4 dark side😊

    • @aMAYSingLife
      @aMAYSingLife  Рік тому +1

      LOL. yeah I have taken some abuse over the 2 to 4 wheel transition! But yeah, thats what we did. There are a couple methods to do it. We actually went paved route taking hwy 31 west to county rd 43 into ten sleep. it also appears we could have taken county rd 49 that was just past hyattville that also would have skipped the potentially nasty section and would have been fewer miles. not sure if it was paved though. i'm told that section is really pretty and we didn't skip it due to issues but rather time so if not bad weather its worth the ride is my understanding.

    Thinking of doing this segment. Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (4WD, lockers), and pulling an offroad trailer. Any tight switchbacks or other concerns that would be problematic?

    • @aMAYSingLife
      @aMAYSingLife  Рік тому

      Just talked with holly and she reminded me saying how happy I was that we didn’t have a trailer on the expert section on section 7. There were some tight spots.. I think the gladiator would be fine and I’m not saying it would be impossible but it might not be fun..

    • @aMAYSingLife

      To be clear it’s not difficult as much as just tight
