Could this trail be done on 35's? I have the Extreme Recon package on my Rubicon with the factory 2" lift. Thanks. Eventually I want to get some armor under the rig and good rock sliders, but I'm all stock right now.

AC70 has a 1000 watt inverter. What you talkin bout Willis.

Have another question for you about your equipment. Your videos are always very good and images are very sharp. Do you use filters and adjust your shutter speed or just shoot in Auto mode. I have always used the auto mode cuz it was simpler but my friends are saying should use nd filters for better exposure. Even one says to use a nd filter in auto mode?

What chain saw is that?

Great review of GMRS. I have my HAM radio license and taking the test is easy. My wife is not technically savvy at all, yet she passed with flying colors. Once you pass the license is good for 10 years and you can renew every ten years without cost. To pass the test, just take the online practice tests over and over and over again until you are able to pass it successfully and consistently. You'll find that when you go in to take the real test, it's just like the practice ones.

I’m a little confused as to why gmrs has repeaters when it’s supposed to be for activities and not making contacts. What activity would I need to contact someone eighty miles away?

You talk a little too much and distract the viewer from focusing on the views-instead of your personal views.

IMO a kinetic pull should always be a last resort, because of the large amount of force involved, especially if something goes wrong and breaks. I carry one, but it's never been used, as the nice slow and controlled winch has always been successful for me. The Aussie's list a kinetic pull dead last in their recovery training. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, though. Also, pulling in reverse is not good. First gear puts more torque to the ground than reverse, and the ring and pinion gears are much stronger going forward than backwards because of the angle of the teeth.

Thanks for the video. I almost ran this on Friday and decided to wait for a trail companion. After watching this, I feel like that was the right call.😊

my first thought at 4:40 .....UMMmmMmM is backing down a 1 vehicle wide sketchy shelf road with camber worse than going ahead not sure if it will result in MORE washouts......of course I also doon't know if there were ANY nearby turound points! ...ok back to the rest of the video.... 15:36 & 17:10 time to deploy the "Lowrance" ;) IYKYK

Great video! Well produced, too. 😊

What rails are you running on your rig

Did this trail yesterday. The wildflowers are stunning at their peak ... go.. or you never will. Watch for serious pinstripping

Your editing skills are getting great! Good video!!!

Great video showcasing Caribou south! Did this last summer in my stock 4R SR5 but not without consequence of pin stripes and some new skid plate scrapes. No joke that the first part of Caribou South is sketchy to say the least. It's not for the faint of heart and will keep your attention. Overall, a beautiful trail though. Caribou North was just as muddy, had some water almost come over my hood! Hope to catch you on the trail sometime!

So not for my wife. She’s not a fan of shelf roads at all. 🤷🏻‍♂️😄 Hey! I feel singled out on the toilet.😂

Great video, I loved the quick clip of you fishing!

Actually I’m watching from the comfort of my bed with a cup of coffee!! Not the toilet 😁/ thanks for sharing the trail

We picked this one up at Expo West, really could not pass it up. It has been a total game changer for us. Our 500 has done us great for years, but ya, not hating this at all! Basically the same size as our 500 because of the folding handle. This will keep us going for years!!

Yes… I’ve used my Jackery for years. It never failed me. The panel works perfectly … so do the outlets!

Thank you!

This was very helpful, thank you.

that tree situation was tight, I just knew your jeep was going to get scratched

Great video, your fur baby is adorable and seems to be enjoying the trail

You have become my go to for scouting out trails. Another Gem with all the big obstacles shown, just did the Bunch School-Iron Clad-T-33 trails and the Miller Rock trail is next!

Still want to do this one, but looks like a real challenge!

Man I’ve been waiting to get my gear because of the price tag on a lot of stuff. I’m gonna head over soon and make a kit! I’d rather have something than nothing at all and I can replace stuff as I go. 85% of my tools are HF Icon and I can’t say enough good things about them. I don’t know why I didn’t think to look at the recovery gear! Thank you very much!

Not sure if you remember with how much you're out, but you helped me and my friend who got his Subaru stuck in the snow in Wyoming in January of 2023. Thought it was funny that this comes up, because I just got back from an Oregon BDR trip, myself, in my Tacoma that I wish I had in Wyoming when we got his Subaru stuck 😆

I am looking at COTREX and can't make sense of where it begins and ends, can anyone make suggestions on where to look, trail numbers. thanks

Great scenery, however I mostly see the hood of your truck.

Thank you so much for this video. I recently retired, moved to the coast of SC, and was looking for a hobby and a way to communicate in the event of an emergency power outage or disaster. After talking to a few folks and watching a few reviews of GMRS I settled on the purchase of a handheld GMRS ..... without a clue to the basics. Your video answered many of my questions. Thanks for keeping it simple! Simple is all I understand 😁

By far Blackbear is NO WAY near the scariest trail in the US. Unless you have no balls. Take it slow and easy (which is normal since it can be a traffic jam), have a good spotter and someone you trust to guide you around the end switches and it is a breeze. I did it a few times in a Hummer H3; wider than a Jeep. If you fear heights, or don't trust people, not the trail for you. Moab Rim is worse; off canter, big crack (and Hummer H3s do not articulate) and Kane Creek a few hundred feet to the rear...my opinion!

Great video!

Ham radio is best for those who actually want to be empowered through understanding radio, how it works, how to build and analyze (and just buy) the best and most efficient antenna for whatever given band and/or application. And to advance the state-of-the art as well as to provide an efficient public service, generally via ARES.

Please grab a first aid kit , more important than the satelite Sounds like a badass trip !!

Thanks for the video. I used to dx on 11 meters many years (decades) ago worldwide on both AM and SSB. Talked to many foreign stations on just 5 watts. Did my own antenna tuning to achieve this. Antenna tuning is one of the most important aspects of any radio communications system. The better the antenna, the better chance of attaining the desired result. Again, thanks for the info. Getting back into radio after many decades and trying to learn the proper protocols.

Man, great kit! Love these videos, especially the explanations for why you are taking it. Happy trails!

You carry quite a few more straps than we do but to each their own… The most important piece of kit that you might discuss in a future video is a good first aid kit and the knowledge to use it. Safe travels!

You’ll be fine… I’m be on the OBDR July 6-14th… bring shovel, chainsaw, and 5 gallons of gas. Safe travels 🤙🏽

Great preparation. Especially love how you keep in touch with someone at home. Comforting for all!

What do you carry for a jack? Do you carry any spare fluids (motor oil, brake fluid etc)? I have found a ratchet strap handy on the trails.

20K!!! Great job!!!!

That looks like a great loadout! Not too little, not too crazy much. I bring mostly the same gear on my JKUR trips (but no trailer, not a fan AT ALL of trailers). I don't own a Pull Pal, but would get one depending on the trip if solo. I also have a second 20-gallon gas tank installed, so no need for Rotopax. The only suggestion I'd make is to bring a longer-handled shovel, which is particularly useful for digging snow out from under the middle of your rig. Even if that one extends, it can't extend by very much. Other than that, I agree completely with this setup. Well done! 🙂

Congratulations on the 20k !

Excellent video!

Kerry the trail coming from Montrose 546. If coming from Moab what is the trail number or mile marker. thanks getting ready to Moab in September and back across Rim Rock

..likes the sound of his voice. Passenger silent...

That shoulder strap would work good to secure it in the child seat loops. Great feature.

We just bought th pt55 and it failed to get down to temperature set first time we plugged it in and every time thereafter . Now trying to get some traction with Setpower.

I'd like to see this adapted for the IFS liberty. Giving us the ability to go with better gear set.
