Awesome video and great adventure! Looking forward to hitting the trail with you again soon.
Thanks Brad! Same here, let’s go find more trails like this one!!
Your music choices for this episode were awesome 👍
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with the music on this one.
@@Venture2Roamwhere do you find your music?
@@RoadRashOffRoad all over the place. I have a bunch of licensing services.
@@Venture2Roam I have a service I use, but I'm not super happy with them. they don't update content often.... I love how many of your videos use audio content of "real radio songs"
Yeah I second that, loved ur perspective of the trail too after watching Brad’s!
Well done removing the shock absorber. Some young fellas were taken to the hospital this year at the Finke desert race.
They used an old fire pit, and didn’t think about a shock absorber that someone had previously left there in the pit. It exploded several hours later in their fire, injuring 2 or 3 of them.
Yikes!! We’ll, I’m glad I took that one out of the pit.
I drove home through Moab and although I didnt have time to leave the hwy I see why everyone talks about the area. Insane rock formations.
Ya the Reef was amazing to look at even from the paved roads. Love it out there!
This area of Utah is so underrated🤙
I agree 100%
That's awesome. All of my favorite overland creators in 1 video. Hope to one week travel with you guys.
I felt the same way all day long!
Fantastic trail and video guys & great drones shots, were heading down in Sept Polaris RZR Pro R and a CanAm Maverick X3 and going to also swing over to Goblin Valley since its in the neighborhood, we just put "Behind The Reef" up VERY high on our list of trails I simply can't pass it up after seeing this video.
You’ll love it! Hope you have a blast.
Beautiful, Love the solitude of the area.
Thank you. That place is amazing.
this was a great video. Loved seeing all you guys get together
Thanks, we had a blast hanging out!
8: 48 it looks like an International Harvester.maybe a travelall? Its hard to tell from the angles of the pictures that was shown.
I agree.
Next year... Next year... Looking forward to beers at OE with the best dressed jeeper I know
🤣 Would had a blast with you there dude. Really looking forward to Bend!
Love it dude! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks bro. When are you moving to Idaho??
@@Venture2Roam Need you to help me convince my wife that camping is more important than visiting with her family.
Looked like a good time. Drone shot of the 392 at 15:50 was so sweet.
Thanks Ed. Still figuring out how to film the 392 to do it justice. I think I might need to just mic it on every trip!
Great video Will! I have the San Rafael Swell on my bucket list of places to see, Utah looks so amazing. Those trails looked super fun and my god the views in every direction!!!
Thanks Mike!!
What an awesome adventure… 3 of my fav channels , all in one 🙌🏼
That’s how I felt being there!
Great video! Thank you. Yes the music was good- not so dramatic like other videos.
Thank you!!
It looks like an old 64 Ford F100. I had one when I was in the USAF
OOOO...great info. I'll look those up!
Love that trail!
It was as close to perfect as I've ever seen on a trail.
@@Venture2Roam I was just down in the swell this past weekend and the weather was perfect! You need to come back down and hit Reds Canyon ✨ #magical ✨
@@dynoman7 I'll have to check that out!
14:10 so you’re saying a Tundra like mine or Rob‘s may not make it on this trail….. awesome video and definitely makes me want to get out to Moab
I think a Tundra would have zero issues on this trail...just a few tight squeezes...the one section where it was super tight...not sure, but we were off the official "Behind the Reef" trail at that point...I think the official trail is out and back and we turned it into a loop by having a few "wrong turns" :)
Hi Will, very nice video 😊
Thank you!!
Great video Will! I was out it Valley of the Gods in early March and it was incredible. I think its better than Monument Valley, less commercialized and remote.
I was shocked that we were there during EJS and had two days...one here and one on Metal Masher (next video) where we barely saw another soul...I think we just lucked out.
loved it, what a ride!...btw, "presip"? lolz
Thanks Ian!
Nice photos and presentation, as I told your buddy that lead the trip (with a post) much more is going on out there. Behind the Reef N junction leads to Tomsich Butte, the head of the Muddy Creek Chutes, which people run with kayaks, flotation device or later walk - it is very beautiful. The bottom of the chute is at Hidden Splendor Mine and S side of Sinbad route. The reef opens at the point to display massive Factory Butte that sits N of Hanksville. There are numerous technical canyoneering routes in the area, near Hidden Splendor and in and around Crack & Chute Canyon. There are also knobs and peaks that can be scrambled and climbed. I did technical canyoneering in the area for 15 years; then my PhD buddy (rocket scientist) died of ALS. I also climbed many of the knobs. I would guess this past weekend there might be over a 100 or more people in the 'chute" area and many canyoneering. You guys are lucky to have solitude on your travels.You do a great job with the photography, & please I did not mean to divert with my post, except that for years I was so connected to that region, particularly in the spring. The group of you, each with you tube posts, mention the abandoned operation and mining but apparently are not aware of the flurry of activity in that area in mid April through parts of May & again in the fall. Best to you and thanks
So glad you have history out there. So sorry to hear about your buddy. The activity you n the area you speak of…not sure what you mean. People are out there hiking or kayaking? Not sure how you are estimating activity..are you out there counting?
@@Venture2Roam Sorry, In late April - early May, with good water levels, kayaking is heavy on weekends at Tomish Butte, down Muddy Creek Chute; I've been there and seen 50 or more a day (Sat & Sun I was 'guessing at maybe 100). Casual hiking is in parts of Crack and Chute & on the S side of the Reef, Wildhorse, Bells, Ding & Dang. There might be 50-75 a day in WH & Bells. The technical canyoneering is a different crowd and they hang out near Hidden Splendor. There could be 8-10 vehicles with various groups. And then N of where you were, people climbing the domes or knobs.
I was last there some 12 years ago, with my buddy, his wife and 19 yr. old son (they have a daughter). We were in a challenging watering canyon with keeper potholes, I was in the back pulling ropes and stuffing them & R and his son in the lead getting through the keeper potholes. Half way through his wife and son yelled at me, 'come and help'. I swam through a keeper tossed my pack over the lip with sling attached and got out. I then set a sling on his waist and pulled him out - he said his right arm was aching. That was the first time in 20 yrs. he's ever acted like that. One more keeper, I pulled him out, and then I lowered him, rather than having him rappel, and then we finished the canyon. Drove home the next day. Days later he went to an ortho, who sent him to a neurologist who gave him the verdict, ALS. He died a year later, he was a body builder, I backcountry skied with him for 20 years, did backpacking & mountaineering in the Wind Rivers & did canyoneering in Zion with him for years. His wife has (now) four grandkids, 2 from a son/wife and 2 from his daughter/hub. All born after he died.
A year after he died I got my first Rubicon, later I got a second and now have but one. Self rescue training in canyoneering is the same procedure and concepts as 4wd self-recovery, 2/1 systems,
angles, safety, efficiency. We do overlanding, get to spots and hike and explore, & sometimes drop into canyons. Since I was in the canyon with him on that day when he struggled, I've not been back to the Swell & it was hard watching Brad's & your video (for me), brought back too many memories. I sincerely apologize to you and others, taking up this space & time on your site. Those that have never been in area could go to Goblin Valley and hike there, or do the beautiful Little Wild Horse & Bells loop, both are intermediate or beginner difficulty. Both of those are S of where you were. Easy vehicle access for those spots.
The work shirt is on point
Thanks. I get a lot of flack for the way the way I dress..but I like those shirts so 🤷♂️
I really want a 392 rubicon!
It’s so much fun. I love mine.
Ditto on the music. BTW, video is great.
Thank you!
Bet they use that shock to tend to the fire.
Maybe..It was pretty burnt up though..in any case it doesn’t belong out there so I took it back to Moab and got rid of it.
I absolutely hate you all😊. What an amazing video. Nothing like that here in New Hampshire. Totally Jealous 😊
🤣🤣. Hey, I totally understand. The West is unfair.
Told the wife, I’m off to the office for work.
Nek minute out adventuring with the boys!! 😊
“Got called in for a late afternoon meeting honey..”
It’s a old for around 60-66ish
No coffee?
No bourbon?
😅
Valid points! 😂
Buddy your only missing 1- item on this trip …..Marko … ,very nice but no chimichurri , mabye Brad can make some for you .. but you got it down too though … nice buddy 👍
I would have loved having Marco there. I've only ever met him very briefly, he's always seemed like a very kind person. One of these days we'll make that happen!
The Mount Rushmore of Overlanding.
😆🤣
Will...The best dressed Overlander on RUclips. 😁.
Lol. It’s true I guess. It’s completely unintentional…but I keep hearing it, so at this point I’m just going to accept it and lean in…tuxedo Overland coming soon 😂
@Venture2Roam Time for LL Bean to step-up and Sponsor. 😁. Nothing wrong with adding a little style to our hobby.
@@t.o.f.t.s. Hahaha...yes!
Cool adventure. Is that a stock front camera system? Thanks
Thank you! Yes, it’s a stock camera.
International
I think so too.
👍
Constructive Criticism offer, At 3:18 and your comments, When following a vehicle on a technical section, Don’t get too close. You always want to see the bottom of the rear tires or more of the vehicle in front of you. This will give you a better view of potential obstacles ahead of you
Generally a good idea. When you are filming there are different rules. There are times when we stay tighter than normal to help get all of the rigs in the shot.
That is a 1960’s international pickup.
67 to be sure.
I want to send Will a bow tie. I think he could rock it 😜
I'm gonna overland in a tux next
This guy, again…
lol
@@Venture2Roamhaha not sure if you missed my comment on TSTN about you crashing drones, for a living ;)
Had to.
@@andyackerman7123that used to be my job lol
I mean...you're not wrong lol.
Great video. I went to Sedona a few weeks ago and all the red rock formations were awesome! Gotta go explore Utah soon!
I love Sedona too.
