- Exploring the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route | PNW Ep.2
This is episode 2 of our adventure through the PNW. We got bummed out by how trashed Oregon was, and being so close to Washington we ultimately decided that was our next stop. Join us as we tackle a section of the Washington Back Country Discovery Route and see what it has to offer! Spoiler: We camp in front of a volcano and its epic!

Your videos keep getting better and better! PNW looks absolutely amazing.
Your support is always appreciated my man!
3 of us couples are going to be taking part of the WABDR trails this summer.
Our first trip will be from Wenatchee to Ellensburg.
The other one is from Leavenworth to Chelan.
There’s also one from Ellensburg to North Bend.
This makes me wanna hit the PNW and the BDR! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
You should man! I want to spend more time in Washington. It will probably be a while before I can, but I am looking forward to it!
@@IndependenceOverland California to Washington would be epic!
@@WildGooseExpeditions that would be a VERY cool trip. Gets my mind racing! 😵
@@WildGooseExpeditions been wanting to make that trip for a few years now....I'm just getting my FJ in a "finish" form, thinking about shipping it out there. I live in Pennsylvania, so I'm thinking I'd rather fly to it & then ship it home.
Loved watching this! 🙌🏼 was surprised to see myself in one of the OXPNW pictures 👊🏼 it was great to meet you guys there!! And, I think my favorite part of this video was the green caterpillar 🐛 👏🏼👊🏼🙌🏼😁 Keep up the great work!!
You made the cut haha! I love the PNW event, by far my favorite one. It was great meeting you too, I am sure we will see you there this year!
@@IndependenceOverland ya buddy! Will be there! 👊🏼👏🏼😃😎🤩
Blue has a sweet setup ... I want crawl in there and curl up! Looks so comfy ... The meal! Great idea for when we get to the next camp and we're LAZY! I'll admit to that ... Laziness... That's where Smokies come in handy. But this Tortellini sounds better. .... Oooo! Caught a good Fish jump while filming Mt Adams! ... And we have two Thermocels, one of the smaller ones so that when we wander away from camp, like you guys do to see the sunset ... We carry the second one with us.
Thats a smart idea. I know we wished we had taken one down with us, but didn't want to hike back to the truck because we would miss the light. I did my best to capture the mosquitos but didn't do it justice. More than I had ever seen before!
You’re like the David Attenborough of Overlanding! And I love it. 😂. This was amazing you guys! Can’t wait for the next one, as always. You guys do great work together. 👌❤️
I wish I had his Nat Geo sound! Thanks for checking it out man! I am chipping away at the 3rd episode!
You can tell how much time you put into editing these videos. Enjoy all these adventure videos you put out. Top quality, great shots and editing and fun to watch. 😎👊🏻
Thanks Jonny! Other video creators can appreciate this stuff much more than the average viewer. So much time goes into it all, its pretty crazy!
Another amazing video, we appreciate your work!
Thank you for taking the time to check it out! Working on the final episode right now! 🙏

Great work, always enjoy watching your content 👌
Rob you are awesome! Thank you so much my friend!
Amazing video. The ending was great. It's awesome to know a fellow pie hunter is out there. 🥧❤😊
haha thanks for checking it out!
Another great video, my family and I love watching these together....
Thank you so much for taking the time! I am working on the 3rd and final of this series, its got some beautiful shots!
What other dude said… vids getting super cinematic…. Love it
Thanks for taking the time to check it out bud!
That was a masterpiece! Well done y’all!
Thanks as always, Scot! So pretty out there!
The section of the WABDR that you were on is by far the smoothest and the most densely forested. As you go North the route becomes rougher and you get into more open country..
Okay thank you! That’s what I wanted to get into, but it didn’t work out that way. Next time we will hit it!
Glad you enjoyed the WABRD I don’t remember any paid camp sites along the way but could have been the ap you were using. Almost all of the actual WABRD is federal or state land and free to camp as long as you have the appropriate pass to be on the land.
Everything else was free, and there were other lakes around we could have gone and found but it was getting late and we wanted to stop and make dinner. And after seeing this one, I couldn't imagine finding a place with a better view.
Pure awesomeness!!!
Thanks for checking it out!
"That's a shitty looking raspberry," maybe because it's a thimbleberry. Tasty, though.
Ohhhh I didn’t know! Thank you! They did taste good!
Just found your videos and I love it
Thanks for taking the time!
Man these videos are great!
Thanks for taking the time man! I am working away on the 3rd and final of this series. I should be done in the next 2 weeks!
I can't wait to see it!
We did the north half of the WA BDR this last year in our Rav4 Prime and it's a lot more treacherous than the southern half looks to be. Driving on lots of high mountain ridges and lots of rocks. Add that to your list for the future. The trees disappear and you get lots of great views.
Yeah that's the plan. The easy going roads were a nice change of pace for covering ground, but of course using 4 low is always more exciting! Thanks for the tip!
@earthwinders You said more treacherous, but you made it ok solo with a RAV4? Not discounting the abilities of the RAV4 just seriously wondering since I want to take my 22 Tacoma Off Road. through it and I am semi experienced with off roading. No crazy rock crawling. 3/2 lift with rock rails and good AT tires.
@@xXxDropTopxXx Yeah, we had just enough clearance in our '22 Rav4Prime by taking it slow and easy. Outfitted with Falcon Wildpeak A/T tires and it did great. There's a lot of sections going up high mountain ridges with a lot of loose rock, and a few spots with some mild rock crawling. Your Tacoma will handle it like a champ.
Editing and B roll is superb on this video Tyler. I need to get some more deep woods adventure in my life. I know you are somewhat of a mycologist…. any mushroom finds on this trip?
No actually, I was looking for didn’t see much. At least none I outright recognized. I want to go back to northern Washington and spend some more time looking for mushrooms. I hear the BDR gets a bit more aggressive up there, and of course it’s just beautiful.
10:43 Tyler! Now I know your name 😂 lolz, don't think I ever heard it mentioned
haha sorry, I am bad about sharing that for new viewers!
I'm really Liking your content. It good to see folks from out of state coming to enjoy what is in my backyard ;-) Do your your routes on Patreon by chance?
Hey there, no I do not share that kind of stuff on Patreon. I did very briefly, and I had people joining for 3 bucks and downloading everything and canceling. My Patreon is more for channel support rather than selling campsites. No judgment to other channels that do that, but I don’t like doing it.
Great video! It's a shame you weren't able to check out the Ape Caves near Mt. St. Helens or Mt. Rainier. Maybe next time...
Uhhhhmmm please tell me what you’re talking about! Ape caves?!
@@IndependenceOverland the Ape Caves are accessible lava tubes that were discovered by a Boy Scout troupe called Ape Troupe in reference to the regions Bigfoot lore. Anyway you can go down spelunking in the caves. It's a blast.
Which Ultra gauge did you go with? And did you get the Tacoma Tundra CAN? Or is it not an UG? Love the videos thank you!
Its the Ultragauge. I am not sure which one it is though, I had an older one that didn't read transmission temps so I upgraded a few years ago. I am wanting to say I got the Tacoma CAN but I honestly cant remember.
Hi Tyler! Long-time subscriber and admirer as I’m building out my 2012 FJ TTSE. I’m at the decision point of lifting my rig and between two opinions. My original plan was to install Bilstein 6112s in the front and Bilstein 5160s in the rear. But after consulting a local lift expert/shop, they’re recommending OME Nitro Chargers. I remember you saying you previously had OMEs but what are your thoughts?
The Nitros are good, long lasting shocks but I have heard the Bilsteins ride nicer. OME is as tough as nails though, my friend Jesse had them for a good long time.
In regard to the Fj squeak, its because of the suspension. I have so many uniballs on mine. My kings have uniballs, my control arms, my lower links have heim joints. This can be avoided to some extent with oils, but then more dirt sticks to it. For the new build, I plan to stick with shocks that have rubber bushings. Less flex, but man the squawking drives me crazy. Everytime I correct it, it comes back a few months later. I just dont have time to wipe my suspension down every time I drive it like whats required, so its noisy.
@@IndependenceOverland Very helpful Tyler and thank you!
The next time you guys are up in Oregon check out the Willamette Valley Pie Company, while working in the area I always make time to stop and get the turnovers, it's world famous, just the heads up, keep doing what your doing brahda lathas hang loose
Oh man thank you! I am all over that the next time we are out there! I bet with all the fresh fruit around they are just incredible!
@Independence Overland Overall the full terrain what is your opinion on a Tacoma 2/3 lift towing a 10x6 custom utility trailer on Timbren suspension, is it doable or should I leave the trailer? From the video it looked very doable.
Were there options to camp in more open areas or were they mostly shaded? Planning to use solar and starlink while we travel and work remote. From WA but have not hit this trail yet. Will obviously do my own additional research but wanted to support the channel and figured I would ask.
Thank you for the amazing video!
Man thank you so much for that! Its all easy, I see now reason why you couldn't have a trailer, at least in the section we were on.It was very easy going, plenty of places to pull off if you run into other people coming. As far as solar, it will be challenging for you. It is a very, very forested area. All the camping went by got very little direct sun.
Yea my wife is a jeep owner for some reason she thinks she needs to drive 80+ everywhere we go then she gets in my fj and wants to do the same as I’m holing the oh shit handle for dear life asking her politely “why do you insist on driving this box like this?” 🤣
Haha, yeah man they’re wild! I gotta keep her under control!! 🤣🤣
I wanna adventure with you 😊
Hey man! I didn't realize that was you behind this account! We will have to meet up one of these days! Your GX has gotten to the point that it puts the Fj to shame!

Yes, sure are 😵💫
