Alvord Desert to Owyhee Overland Route Day 2 - Camping on a Cliff

- This is Day 2 of the Alvord Desert to Owyhee Overland Route that Donald from Soft Roading the West and I are creating. We started the day having to drive back out a rough Jeep trail, that is a bit narrow for the full sized van. The Overland route takes us through Rome Station where we can top off our fuel supply. We then continue along the Owyhee until we find and amazing place to camp right on a cliff overlooking the Owyhee river. From camping spot on the cliff I could sit by the fire and look over the beautiful canyon that laid before me.

Your Primal Outdoors - Camping and Overlanding, I am living the van life in my Ford E350 4x4 Van traveling around the remote public land system in Oregon
Jason, you have darn-near perfected the art of video creation. Love each video more than the last one. Each one enables a semblance of peace and getaway here in “the grind.” Many thanks!
Another weekend, another glass of whiskey, & another Primal Outdoors video. My single favorite CZcams channel. Thank you Jason!
That view over the fire into the canyon.... Ah, so good.
You truly are an inspiration for new overland hopefuls. I just bought an E350 to build out and be able to leave anywhere, anytime. The freedom is invaluable these days, especially if you live in city. My friend also just got a 4runner so I've shown him your videos to motivate him to travel with me. Cant wait to travel up from LA to the pacific northwest. Keep it up man!
There’s quite a few of us up hear that spend most of our time in the outdoors. So if you feel like doing a bit of wandering with a local that knows the area give us a shout. Most of us follow Jason of primal outdoors and/or Casey at coyote works. Its always fun to show people the stuff we take for granted lol. Cheers
Works for me! Thanks for taking us along.
The campsites were really nice. The bridge outside of Rome was neat.
Be careful Jason on that rim with your awning!!.....I was camped right in that same area and lost my awning with a freak short blast of wind that came rushing up that valley out of nowhere sounding like a dang freight train or something...freak ...it was calm before and after...It took my Darche 180 awning ripped the stakes out of the ground and stood the awning straight up like a huge sailfish bending the mounting brackets! I went the next 5 weeks of my trip with no awning.
It was all worth it though cuz well it's Owyhee!!...and the next day I got to the lookout and the place you camped with the RMT Jeep. I got the lookout you were at in a video I made if you want proof, I was there...on my BirdPhish channel... part 2 of my Owyhee Canyon videos.
Another awesome video! My dream is to be able to go out and camp and enjoy the creation of God. Thanks again brother for a relaxing time. God bless!
Always a pleasure watching your content, thank you for sharing!! Stay solid my friend
After our last trip on that trail I had no interest in going back… but it was in the dead of night. Now… I kinda want to go back during the day. The hot spring at the end is the pot of gold for sure
I've landed landed at the little airstrip next to Rome station and fueled the plane at the same pump you used. We flew the section of the Owyhee from Rome to Owyhee reservoir. That is an incredibly beautiful area. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for the great video.
That sounds so cool
It is damn cool..
We can’t do things like that here in the Uk 🇬🇧
really satisfied with cliff and cooking. for a while thought that i am there with you sir. really satisfied. respect and love from India.
Almost 200k!!! Stoked for ya man! Can't wait to get my van in to some Oregon dirt.
Cracking open a Coors Banquet... you just picked up a subscriber/viewer for life! Cheers!
Yeah Jason that’s bringing back so many memories from my childhood my Father and Brother and I travelled there every summer we loved sucker creek canyon which I’m not sure if your going that far or not have to see your next video. As always sweet content always happy to watch. 🍻
Gotta love all of this, thanks you for taking us along, fun to live through your eyes..be safe
Really epic scenery and drone footage…great video!
Nice adventure guys. I enjoy watching the different perspectives of the same adventure.
Great view! Your van blends in well with country side!
You have the best life dude, man the freedom enjoy and thanks for sharing. Meal looks delish.
Jason, I really enjoyed the video. Now, for the intake and exhaust of your heater. A possible solution would be. As you stand beside the van.
Facing the ladder. Attach your fresh air intake to the left side of your ladder. On the inside surface of the vertical ladder rail. Extending 3/4 the vertical
length of the ladder. in turn, angling the intake hose downward in an inverted U shape Oriented toward the front of the vehicle.
Placing a means of a filtering element over the fresh air intake. Keeping water and debris out of the intake tube.
For the exhaust tubing. Attach it to the right side of the inner aspect of the vertical ladder tubing. Running the exhaust tubing all the up to the roof on the van.
In turn, orienting the exhaust tubing toward the rear of the van. Covering the exhaust tubing with a means to keep insect and the like out. This design should minimize
any chance of CO contamination. if you don't have one in your van. The addition of a Carbon Monoxide {CO} monitor. Would be a good adjunct, when the heather is in operation.
Cheers, Mate.
20 Years ago that road out of the canyon was so overgrown the only way I knew I was on the road was the hood high grass was a different color where the road was. My brother in law had to walk in front of me to point out where there were rocks I needed to avoid. Now look at it... George.
TIP: Take a small pocketknife and use the tip of blade to release the lock on the zip tie and pull it open, it will save on cutting a zip tie every night.
I'm behind on videos and you have probably fixed the problem already.
Nice series so far.👍🏻
Thanks for making these videos....so inspiring and relaxing. 👍👍👍👍
Jason love your videos. Winters here in Wisconsin and not much camping here but watching your cinematic videos makes me feel like I'm out there too! Love the winter videos because they give a cozy feel!
Thank you Jason for a great video. Love the scenery always.
When we do prolonged overlanding here in the foothills of the Appalachian mts., I have added 2 four gallon Roto-pax containers to my vehicle (just in case!). Of course, we are more "crawded" here in the east than you are out west. Twice when my brother and I were exploring the western U.S.A., we couldn't find a fueling station when we were running dry. It's worth consideration.
It's good to see that you're using a chainmail pan scrubber. I have one that I have made but need to get more rings and expand it out
Yep, really one of the most beautiful and perfect camping trips you’ve made here.
Thanks for the excellent work you put into sharing it with us.

Jason... love you vids... its been a bad week for me... vids like this just hit the spot/ i needed this. thank you for real.
you ever find yourself in Oklahoma hit me up!
Great episode Jason! Those shots of you guys climbing up the hill were awesome! I love the bridge that you guys crossed and wow, what a camp spot! It sure looks like you’ve got your van set up nice. A place for everything and everything in it’s place! Oh and maybe you’ll need to add white wine to your dinner cooking 🤣.
Really jealous!!Great trip! How about sacrificing two beer cans for exhaust covers? Reusable! Great fun take care!
Love your rig and cinematography
Wow, really cool spot. Our last trip we were like "we're done with this canyon" because both trips we've taken were a fail haha, but now we're determined to go back and have a good trip. Maybe in the warmer season so we can dip our toes in the river. It's so beautiful out there.
I've. Been by Rome many times Now semi retired and a new quad and a old van I'm. Going thanks
Thank you Jason..
Well done, Jason. Two of us completed a 100 mile four day trip on the east side of the canyon last October. Beautiful trip.
Wow! That was some gnarly trail!! That river area looks a lot like the Drumheller area of Alberta. Happy new year!👍🇨🇦📷⭐
Really enjoy these trips! Keep up the great work Jason 👍
Yeah buddy
I like your videos. Keep them coming.
This is super cinematic
What a beautiful place!
Really enjoying following you and Donald on this adventure. Well done, and thanks for sharing!
Good views! A good trip, I'm sure.
Very Cool & It is Probably Really Nice When it's Dry
Enjoyable as always, although it has taken me some time getting use to no tree's while your in the desert . Thanks for the video 📹
Really no white wine reduction? Ya, to fancy for my taste to. This was the best part of camping or overlanding in my books is your meal at the end of the day. I am not a fancy chief but I do like to push it over the top and do more than KD for the evening meal. By the camp fire with a glass or cup of spirts just sets up the hopefully great sleep. Something I almost never get at home. Great team you and Don, look forward to next adventure. Oh, no offence to Ed I like his vlogs to.
With that lovely sounding engine in your van..
I reckon daisy would of been rocked too sleep with the constantly rocking on the trails
Probably a good call not going all the way down from the west side. That road gets really bad toward the bottom. But there’s a really cool little Hot Spring there!!! I love the Owyhee’s. My backyard!
Really enjoyed your video.
Come up to E WA and I'll show you some DNR land that is very isolated and majestic. Thanks for all your adventures.
We really enjoy watching your adventures around Oregon. The area you were in when you made the video is where we want to explore probably this summer or fall. Looking forward to your next episode of that trip.
Before heading out there in the summer check the daily temps, it can get hot, maybe hotter then you like. I’d also reach out to the local BLM Office. A heads up on area and road conditions can save getting in a crappy situation. I like to ask if they were out there what roads would they avoid. Some of those roads become one vehicle wide going up and down hills and in and out of the canyons. Finding one blocked by rock fall could result in having to back out, and that would be a nightmare on those narrow roads, especially in and out of a canyon. I’m considering a drone to view the road before driving in and out of those canyons. Its beautiful country and the night sky is awesome, you truly see all the stars. If you fish you’ll find areas of the river that probably have never been fished. When your done it might require a tiring walk out of the canyon but the fishing can be great. One day I hit a bug hatch and my fly never sat on the water longer then a minute before being taken, one of the best afternoons of fishing I’ve ever had. A Couple of Screws Loose, enjoy your time out there. 🙃
@@theflyfishingnomad9641 Thanks for the info. Yeah, we'd either go in the beginning of summer or early fall. And it all depends on forest fire smoke too. Last year that area had a lot. Something we'd like to avoid. I've seen people use drones for scouting out a head and thought that was hella smart. Getting one is on our list. Maybe it's time. Especially for scouting. Do you have any recommendations?
We keep thinking we are all set with our gear and then of course there's always something else to add. 😄
As always its never enough lol another great video my friend. I remember back in the day urging everyone to share your channel so we could get you up and over 50k subscribers lol. Cheers
Your in the back woods of Idaho cool buddy
Good stuff!
When it comes to morning coffee I’m drinking my Daisy Blend.
Was that special guest Charlie Brown @ 14:54? Great videos on both your parts guys!!!!!
I got an idea for the intake and exhaust for your heater, run hose or tube up the sides of the ladder to get them higher up to where you won't get mud in them, just and idea maybe worth looking into
Just a couple days ago I was thinking about how nobody shows washing the dishes in overland videos. XD So I'm excited you included that part, haha. And of course this was another beautiful video overall!
Awesome job! Enjoy all your shows!!
They serve up a pretty good burger in the Rome station
hard to find a more remote part of Oregon, but I bet you will keep looking! thank you stay safe
Another beautiful outdoor adventure. Great videography. Them tires were spinning or was it swimming in that mud… Thanks for taking us along.
Really enjoy watching your videos of the beautiful scenery, I would really like to know about your roof rack and your front bumper, did you purchase them the way they are or was it a custom build.
Perfect day!
Hello Jason, first of all I wish you, Megan, Daisy and you a happy new year 2022, thank you very much for sharing your passions with us, and above all, keep you on top. Take care of yourself, a friend from Belgium
Hey Jason, early congratulations on 200k subs. Quite an accomplishment 👏
Hell yeah, thumbs UP to you guys!
Looks like a great time!
Most of that terrain looks a lot like northern Nevada. If you ever make it this way I have an awesome destination to camp at an old ghost town. Don't want to reveal it in the comments though.
Loved this video. Beautiful location, and looks like you couldn't have had a better travel partner. :)
Great series.
That doofus in the Frontier really really really needs a lift.
I mean, you gotta be stupid or crazy or both to drive a trail like that in a stock rig.
@@softroadingthewest while watching you go over some of those rocks i was thinking to myself that with all that weight back there its sagging a little
I’d say it did pretty well all things considered 🤙🏼
@@ChambersFamilyOverland I agree...I think he did pretty good for being stock height...
Love your videos man. Would be great to meet up one day and do some exploring. Been in my van for almost 2 years now. BTW, looks like your buddy might need a leaf spring upgrade. He’s sitting pretty low in the back.

Awesome Jason great video thanks!!
Awesome thank you.
Great Video Jason.
So who is Lewis and which one of you is Clark? You are mapping some great trails. Love seeing all the various terrain. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
This is a great series Jason! Spectacular scenery.
Such amazing adventures you are living. I hope one day I can get out and do some of my own.
Jason, you mentioned it a few times in the video about gas and distance. What is your range in Sasquatch on a full tank of gas, before you need your 10 gallons of spare? Great series too, have to make a trip to that area of Oregon soon.
I have been following your adventure. Truly a beautiful trip. I hope to do something like that some day. All the best to you guys in the new year. Cheers. 🙂
Yay!
Very good vídeo my friend
Awesome
Cool 👍 video. Trails you choose were not for the vehicle you are riding. How ever good camping. Hope to see some good video ahead.
great video! would you ever consider putting out some “asmr” or just long form footage of you camping, driving or of the landscapes? i only ask because i love your content but i find myself wishing i could just stare at that canyon or other locations longer.
Awesome views buddy
What an interesting trail/route of a desert. I appreciate that deserts have their own beauty but then to show us the expanse of the canyon views was spectacular. All around great video. 😊💖
great episode. thank you
Great video Jason, would love to explore that area
I think Donald needs some sliders. Nice video.
Jason I’m late to the party but wondering if you’d ever solved the mud/water ingestion of your heater intake/exhaust…
Thinking since the ladder is in the vicinity you could run a couple of hard lines up towards the roof curled over near the top, kind of like a snorkel…
Beautiful campsite, you sure can pick em’
Safe travels
Nice stuff!
This got me to subscribe mate. Awesome video 👍🏼
great video!
Awesome videos man maybe someday I'll get to meet you I'm doing the same thing while I'm starting to and living in my forerunner now for almost 9 months up here in New Hampshire pretty cold right now but I'm doing it negative 16
