I know this is an older video but I wanted to say I really appreciate it. I’ve had a lot of adventures where I find random disbursed campsites and had a blast, and other trips it feels like everything is full, and return trips where I realize there were more I missed that MAY have been open.
I’m always late to the party but I just wanted to thank you for this video! I am happy that CZcams is suggesting more and more adventurous Oregonians with great resources! I can’t wait to see your future adventures! - With love, from Portland
Good video and great tips! I definitely hear from a lot of people that they struggle with this, so this is super helpful. I'm laughing because I literally just added this topic to my list of videos to create last week. Keep up the great work!
I have really enjoyed your video, I have always kind of planned ahead with on-x off-road and can download for offline use which is nice. I love the Oregon coast, I’m in Eugene from SW Colorado this past year and the coastal range is my escape !
Thank You. I will have to review this more when I am ready ... it is very helpful. I have a couple of the "apps" and I recall letting others know and as it came from me ... they didn't give it much thought .... tells a lot about me (but when I play I keep the guitar tuned :-) )
Great video! We've never had a ton of luck trying to find great dispersed camp spots on the Oregon coast. Granted we don't make it out there nearly as much as we do the Cascades. Thanks for sharing!
We’ve definitely been hit and miss out there as well. In the cascades it’s hard to find a bad campsite, I feel like you gotta work a little more when you’re on the coast 😅
I was just in that area last fall and this would have been most helpful. The fires really created some headaches at that point so we did spend more time on the coast than planned. We ended up a night in Gearhart and saw one great sunset. Hit the sub to see more of the area!
Thank you! I’m planning to rent a van and do a solo road trip this coming summer and I have been trying to find locations but I’ve only been able to find one place where dispersed camping is available so thank you!!
Nice job. We have a similar video that has been on the back burner for a while now. Our strategy is a lot like yours except we just use iOverlander to see where others have camped then Google Earth for spot of our own. But like you said, you just need to get out there and find them! nate
TheDyrt trial version is annoying with one page/pop up which appears over 15 time in the first 15 minutes. Annoying useless pop up’s is a “no go”. I don’t know if it will stop with the pro version but I am not paying one cent for annoying pop up’s
Any tips for finding dispersed camping for towing a Black Series, so I can go off-road. We want to find places close to water features, beaches, creeks, lakes, etc.
Well we have never towed, so I can’t really say much in that regard. I think this advice applies to most situations (even towing), just make sure the road you choose is friendly to whatever you’re towing! OnXoffroad is a good way to see road conditions n such
Hey there. If you don't mind, why didn't you take that route in spring? Was it still too cold? (Starting plans for a cross-country and looking for advice.) ah, I see you've got videos about it. Thanks!
Well, we had planned both routes and been watching the weather. A huge storm had rolled in through the upper route, so we took the southern route. Also, lots of snow still on the ground and we were in the Prius at the time.
Something funny, I have been to that dead end campsite, and yes it is a tight fit and I had to hack away at some branches that fell over across the track, lots of pinstriping going on but it was a good place to go away from everything. I sure wish I could post pics on here in the comments but have them on Instagram I think lol
And also from experience from last year doing the gambler 500 they don't update the maps on any of the systems as much as they need to and it is partially due to the various government groups not reporting gates and such, a lot of roads in the foothills are now gated off for various reasons, at least from 20 on up past mollala.
@@jbird1012 last year yes, didn't do much cleanup as the friends that were with us in their own rig dragged their butt too much in the morning so we didn't get over to the store till almost sundown, had to find camp in the dark lol, planning to do it this year but with different plans, just hope the higher altitude routes are clear of snow by that time.
It’s like you’re a mind reader or something. I was just feeling like I needed this sort of thing.

This is such a great video. Thank you. I just found you guys today, and I've been binging all day!
Hell yeah, thanks, Greg! Glad you’re enjoying the videos 🤘🏻

Hey, cheers! We haven’t been out exploring in a few months, hoping to get back out there soon!
Awesome video! Very helpful.
Super helpful! Glad I came across your video today.
Glad it was helpful 😄
Thank you! I am so new to this and this was very helpful!

Thank you! And I’ll be looking forward to your vid, I like to see how everyone’s process is a little bit different for this!
Thank you for an informative video well done.
Man this is awesome. Thanks for this!
Of course! Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for the advice, I've recently decided to move to Portland, I'd be homeless until I find a place. I'm in Arkansas so I need all the advice
Watching this when I get home from work I need to learn this so I can figure where to go
Bro you helped me out with your video.
Thank you!

Excellent video! I am a Gaia Gps fan too.
Gaia’s the best 🤘🏻
Would love to see how you actually plan the route to one of those sites in Gaia.
I’ve got a few more trip planning vids in the queue, definitely will have it together sooner than later!

Thanks, Nate! iOverlander is definitely a good spot to get some context clues.
Hahaha we were just talking about this!

@@ScaleofTwo Ohmygosh, thank you for answering. That reminds me to stay flexible.

Unfortunate! I’ve seen a lot of gates out in the forests on the coast, definitely a bummer.
@@bajasoobnut You did the gambler 500?

I downloaded the free Dyrt app & when I do my search the map is greyed out & it doesn’t show anything.
Honestly I have not used the app in quite some time, I’ll have to check it out and see if they changed things.
Waste of money junk
