  • We took our Jeep Gladiator overlanding through some crazy overgrown trails on Vancouver Island, where we met up with ‪@Casey250‬ and his EcoDiesel JL Wrangler, and Jon and his 4Runner for a 3 day expedition into the mountains.

    Guys I lost my drone in a river on this trip, it was pretty expensive to replace. If you feel like helping me out, grab one of my t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, keytags or beer coozies at www.dirtyanddangerous.com I appreciate your support. And if you don't want to, that's cool too. Even just watching the videos helps.

    This is my backyard! From some of the views you had, and that one sign at the end, I was able to figure out almost exactly where you guys ended up! So glad you enjoyed some of the Island's best kept secret spots!

      @83regaleagle Před 3 lety

      I love that they've kept quiet as to where it is, so that it's really a game of "only those that have been there can find it". Got my wheeling start around Sooke & Lake Cowichan, & so much of it is gone now, so seeing there's still hidden areas on the big island makes me happy!

    Good morning from the south Okanagan, thanks for another fine video. I was thinking that we used to enjoy the "adventure" of back country stucks, flats and breakdowns a lot more when we were in our 20's and even 30's. Now that I'm sneaking up on my late 50's, it's enough to watch the younger set getting it done. Not that we don't still get out - we just pick the days, roads and conditions differently than we did half a lifetime ago! Stay well.

  • @thomascalton3067

    That logger knew what he was doing. What a great seed tree to start another generation. Just because it's old growth doesn't mean it will live forever. Those saw boys aren't as dumb as all the granola munchers put on that they are. Great video guys, as always!
