Cold Camping at Allegheny National Forest in Jeeps

- Day 1 of a brisk December winter weekend in the Allegheny National Forest mapping out some new forest roads and trails, some of which are only open during hunting season. Brought the diesel heater and plenty of layers for the cold. Joined on the trip by Nick @trailoverland6462 in his TJ. We stumbled upon some awesome stuff and had a great time before the rain came in for Day 2.

I live in buffalo NY. It’s nice to see some local trails to hit up close to home
That’s the idea! Lots to do within a reasonable drive near us 💪
@@DarksideOffRoad Yea ran into your rig on Sheridan one day then seen you running a convoy at the mid Atlantic expo. Solid set up. Keep the great videos coming!
Good video, so surprised nick made bacon…. Not. Looks like you guys had fun!
Bbaaaacccoooonnnn! 🥓
@@DarksideOffRoad in a pot. LOL
Hi....got a camp 3.5 miles off of 321.....marker 400... on Chapel Fork. K-63......stop by anytime!
Oh we moving trees with tires now 😂 love it 😈
❄️🤷♂️
I was just exploring FR 267 and the surrounding area in late December when we got all that snow! Also camped out in a few of those spots you showed around 9:18 this last summer. Definitely a fun area!
It was our first time in that area. Was so stoked to see so many sites that could support small groups 🤘
Wonder if that crater was from an old oil or gas well they removed?
maybe, i'm still leaning towards a mini rock mining area since the boulders looked like the ones they'd use as trail / road barriers
We were fishing the Juniata river one time and a big tree fell right across from us. It was pretty cool to watch. I definitely need to put my Jeep in that gravel pit you found. I guess I have to wait until they open the road again in October though.
I know you’ve got a big rig but the camera does not do that incline and those rocks justice lol
@@DarksideOffRoad now I want to go even more... Lol
Oh by the way... my Florida off road trip was amazing. I ended up just taking pavement until we reached Florida. Osceola and ocala national forest along with a state forest. The trails are nothing like what we're used to. I would be willing to go back this spring if your interested. Hitting sandy / muddy trails with the top down in January was A OK 👍
Great video. Do you publish your Gaia trails?
Thanks. I don’t, but that’s also why I note the roads and areas in the videos/descriptions as long as they are publicly accessible and legal.
So it appears the place you camped is just a short distance back FR 122 from the Red Bridge recreation area. Is that correct?
Yep that general area has a few unmarked and marked sites in it you can look for 👍
Hello, I would like to do some minor off-Roading and camping with you guys once I finish setting up my truck. I drive an older Land Rover Defender 130 and a LR Defender 90. Watching your videos showed me that there’s places to camp near NYC. Thanks
Check out Moose river plains in the Adirondacks much closer to you.
Silly question, but last year up there I frequently didn't have cell service. Does Gaia work as a true GPS would when no cell service is available?
It will as long as you’re on a device that’s cellular capable. Just download your map layers first. 👍
I know I have been on those narrow trails and it's bugging me on their exact location. At first I thought it was the owned by bradford water authority. Talk about some pretty fun trails. Can you give me a hint where that narrow trail is? I would greatly appreciate it. I have pretty much been on about 90% of the trails in the entire area. Or was that Collins pine Co land? Hm
Only willing to share what I shared in the video. It is on USFS land though and un-gated, so no worries of trespassing. It's near FR267.
I'm not too far from Allegheny national forest but all i have is cherokee trailhawk. 😕
It’ll work great! Our friend Tyler comes out with his all the time. Air down a bit and go explore!
@@DarksideOffRoad Awesome! I'll definitely makes plans this summer.
@@DarksideOffRoad Sweet! I'm also watcing your videos in Bald Eagle State Park. A friend from work is also thinking about going there with a Nissan Exterra. You think the Cherokee Trailhawk and the Exterra will be fine there too?
@@Roblet217 you’ll be fine on everything but Henstep and Sharpback Hollow. Those are the only two trails that really should have high clearance.
@@DarksideOffRoad Which one is worse?
Can you take a side by side on those roads or an atv
These are marked county / us roads so I don’t believe so. The forest website or ranger station would know better than I would though.
Officially, probably not. But the reality is this is an extremely remote area, and anyone you see probably is just going to smile and wave or just generally ignore you. Just be respectful.
Do you like Gaia or onX off road better?
I have both and I use them for different things. I use Gaia for research, trip mapping prep and real-time tracking. I use OnX for trip research to see where popular trails / roads are and map it on Gaia.
@@DarksideOffRoad sweet thanks. So I live in marion just east of Rochester and my whole family has jeeps. Have you found any places close to Rochester to wheel?
@@NorthCountryJeeping the only place is FlexRock 4x4 in Attica. They have a Facebook page and events once a month during the warm months.
Everything else is 2+ hours away and pretty much the entire content library of my channel 😎🤘
@@DarksideOffRoad oh yeah I do nothing but watch your videos it going to explore in Allegany State Park. Actually I was just at Flex Rock in Attica for their opening couple weeks ago. Like to come out and wheel with you sometime. Give my 2-door Rubicon JL some workout.
