First off, thank you for watching these videos, folks. I love telling these stories through video and without your support, making videos about my adventures would be impossible. Second, think about the last time you saw a youtuber force the marketing director to fix trails and cut hundreds of trees for 10 days lol. It's rare to have companies that actually want to be a part of the car community in this way. Jake is a savage, and I couldn't have made this video without him and Powerstop Brake. When it's time to replace or upgrade your brakes, support the companies that support our ability to make content. Choose Power Stop because they are among the highest quality in the industry and choose Powerstop because they support creative ideas like a 10 day Back country stewardship mission 👊.

Thanks for the video Nate! I would also like to second the shout out to PowerStop. I have no affiliation, but I just upgraded on my JK last weekend and it was worth it.
Thank you so much for cutting the downed trees to the width of the road. It really grinds my gears when people cut the downed trees just wide enough to pass with an ATV or even a Jeep!
Amen Brother!!! If ya gonna clear it, then CLEAR IT!! And YES bring your own saw, but if you’re gonna do it, do it right and help EVERYONE else on the trail!! That’s what the trail adventure & lifestyle/community is ALL ABOUT…!
I enjoyed every minute of this video. I'm a 76 year old woman who drives a little soft roader, and I'll never do a trip like this, but I loved doing it vicariously through your video. And you did a great thing for everyone who does that trail by all your hard work clearing all those trees.
Never say never ma'am.... Ho knows maybe there is a kind soul around the corner who is willing to take you for a spin! Unfortunately I'm from Spain.... If not I would be in front of your house already. God bless you and your family.
Trail fairies, or trail pixies, as we in Finland like to call guys who open winter trails for fat biking and mountain biking. You are definitely that, in a scale a step larger. As a fellow off roader, motorcyclist and mountain biker from thousands of miles away, you are awesome. Even if I don't ever get to drive that trail, thank you! And thanks for the episode!
I grew up in the Gifford Pincho National Forest. When I was a teenager this was what we did on the weekends. 4 or 5 of us would load up and head up to the high lakes by Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens clearing the roads as we went. The nostalgia of watching this is overwhelming.
I feel you bro we use to do this all the time but in Colorado, it feels like your getting first tracks in the wilderness haha. All those sketchy times snow wheeling are nostalgic for sure but things could have gone crazy south from the amount of dumb shit we tried to drive in the middle of no where (anything to find/get to the spot) so I lowkey get anxious lol, at least these guys got a plan. Its good to see other people going hard out there tho.
I'm with you! My favorite videos have a variety of vehicles. It's more interesting to watch a bunch of different builds tackle the same obstacles then the same Jeep over and over just slightly different colors lol.
@@DirtLifestyle yes and I LOVE a good Jeep build, it’s not my personal preference. I want an Overland Rig, cause it HAS to be my everyday driver also! It will obviously see more highway miles than actual dirt off-road miles, but that’s the TRUE fun in it. Its NOT all about the destination. It truly is all about the JOURNEY!!!
@@DirtLifestyle Love my Jeep, and the midsize trucks are badass (especially done up like your Taco) but that Chevrolet was so cool to watch! Good seeing the older rigs on the ride. Movie production quality...well done.
What an incredible trip! Exhilarating at times but Amazing! Thanks for all the hard work on the trails and the extra work to bring us along on your journey. Stay safe and stay on the trails
Nate, this by far is one of the best overland adventure vblogs I have watched. I can't wait to get my rig up and running and who knows, maybe someday i will meet you on the trail. Until then keep the awesome content rolling.
I grew up wheeling in Ellensburg, WA and loved seeing my old stomping ground’s. I now live in Santa Clarita, CA and play in the Mojave Desert. Great video, brought back a lot of memories.
I know everybody has said it already and I’m two days late, but there is nobody on RUclips in my opinion who can tell these off-roading and overlanding stories like you do. I never skip a second. I envy the way you tell these stories. I’m even a little jealous at how good you are at telling these stories being a videographer myself. Keep it up man. I’ll always be watching!
Absolutely (insert expletive here) epic, Nate. I just don't have the words... I'm jealous of you and the life you are able to protray on RUclips. I know it's probably even a helluva lot harder than you let on in the videos, but the adventure I'm sure is worth it. And the fact that it's captured on video so you can enjoy it years from now, to ensure the memory of it doesn't fade, is epic in it's own right. My hat off to you and the guys you went with. And while I'll probably never see the trails you were on, I thank you on behalf of anyone who does those trails, for the hard work you guys did clearing them. I've done some miniscule clearing of some downed trees in the past couple of years, but nothing like what you guys accomplished! I live vicariously through your videos. If you ever find yourself in Chilliwack, BC, I'd love to take you out for a coffee (or drink of your choice)!
Hey I really appreciate it man! I'm glad this video got you fired up! Not sure when I will be back in BC but I do love it up there. Thanks for the offer 👍
The production quality of this film is off the charts. Nate, you’re in the RUclips big leagues with both content creation and production. The hard work shows! Thank you!
Absolutely a trip that you'll never forget, I wish I were about 30 yrs. younger I would love to have done this with you guys! Beautiful mountains, great friends, Gods country most definitely! I loved every minute of it, CONGRATULATIONS FELLAS! 😃
Great video. I love your mix of fabrication videos and trail videos. I’m a metal fabricator for 25 years now so I fabricate all of my own stuff for my JK. Keep up the good work.
@@DirtLifestyle Was it this Oregon or Washington where it was a chainsaw fest to open the trail? Would you mind giving me the video title to it? I wanted to share it with mom.
Woah! That's Jason from AutoEdits! Small world. Didn't realize yall were friends. Haven't seen his videos in years but used to follow his 73 mustang build because I have a 71 that I'm restoring. Very cool! This looks like an awesome adventure!
I like seeing full-size vehicles making it through the trails. Granted I live in MN and doing something like this would be hard to drive out there then wheel for a few days. Just would like to see more overlanding stuff with big old chevys in the Midwest.
Yes, my work in progress is a 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 Ext Cab Z71. It’s sitting on 33’s I’d like to go up to 35’s (it already had what I think is a factory lift, but I may need another 3” for proper travel). 99% of the time I’m alone in the truck so I don’t need a crew cab, but I want the 6.5’ long bed anyways cause I don’t want a rooftop tent.
I also own a ‘93 Chevy Suburban, BEST truck I’ve ever owned by far!! But the engine went and I don’t want to bother rebuilding or replacing it. Plus I wanted to get back into a PickUp.
Thanks for taking us along. Thanks for showing 42,000 people (at the time of this writing) how to be good steward of the land that have been left to us. Thanks for building the network of like minded people to participate in your craziness. THAN YOU!
It’s always crazy to easily drive through an area that, in different weather/trail conditions, was a war zone of recovery and chainsawing. Much appreciated to you guys for helping clear the route this year, we followed about a month later and cruised right through many of those areas!!
This was one of this best videos of this genre I’ve seen. Awesome scenery and cinematography and really captured the challenges of a trip like this not just focusing single obstacles. The vehicles look great and it’s pretty clear there’s lots of experience in th group Watching this from Australia.
What an awesome trip!! Good friends and good times should be counted as priceless, and you all showed that. Thank you Nate, for an inspiring video, this was well worth the watch. Thank you Jason, David, and Jake for teaming up with Nate to visit a beautiful part of America, for all the hard work, and for showing and exemplifying good stewardship of public land. To all of you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is so encouraging to see friendship like this. Now it’s off to the garage to wrench on our Jeep!!
I havent had a video inspire me to explore my back yard as much as this in so long. Thank you. You reminded me just how much fun you can have exploring in just my 4wd
Absolutely 100% no doubt the best offroad film I've seen on RUclips. This trip looked Absolutely amazing! I couldn't even imagine what it was like to partake in. Trips like this is what I would love to be able to do more. Thank you so much for creating this channel and allowing us to vicariously take this trip with you.
dude, I had never heard of BDR before, but now I am SO excited to check it out. the New England trail basically goes right through my entire family's backyards. awesome video. thanks, Nate!
Thank you for all the work on our trails over here, it has been a brutal year clearing. Have put many hours in clearing single track. The Beehive washout is a bit puckering for sure! We went across it 4 years ago, haven't really gone back, other more fun less death like places to explore around here haha, thanks again!
Lol I totally get it man. There are plenty of great places that aren't dangerous for no reason 🤣. I wish someone would fix beehive before someone get hurt.
I worked drilling rigs for SEDCO and Precision Drilling for 10 years in northern BC, Alberta, Sask...A suggestion, get yourself some chains (and bungy strap them tight) when you get into extended snow / mud / steep inclines / declines/ side steep roads... Its incredible how much traction/grip you will get - just gives you added safety. Chains make your truck unstoppable. Amazing video guys, respect your adventurous spirit - not many people that would take on a mostly unknown challenge like this.
Thank you! Thank you for being such great stewards of the land. I am part of the Subie Adventure Club who is doing this in sections and we greatly appreciate it! We also clean up trails in WA as we enjoy our public lands!
Completed this on my bike earlier last month. Thanks much to you guys for putting in so much work! Such a beautiful journey, and a very good representation of that journey put to video.
Love to see the Squarebody! I'm building ours with David's rig as a basic template. Ours will be a little more overland focused though. Another great episode!
Epic. It was fun navigating y’all ruts that were still there August8. I picked that trail by chance and took the same pic of Rimrock Lake. This video was next level!
That suburban is awesome. This was such a great trip. I’ve been through Washington a few times and it’s a beautiful state. Why do so many people run those Patagonia’s though? I’ve ran them and thought they were terrible and they did not look great here especially half worn on the JK.
Great meeting you guys (my brief cameo at 39:20). When you said you just got done cutting a bunch of trees I couldn’t have even imagined that many! Great video Nate
It's awesome seeing your truck put through it's paces out on the trails. Knowing all the work you put into it is paying off. Anything you're going to change/improve after using it so much?
I grew up on a lot of these roads in the 80s and 90s. Many of them in 2x4 trucks or cars and a highlife jack. Good memories! Super glad you guys got to enjoy them.
Wow, thank you so much for all of your hard work clearing these trails. We weren't able to do the jungle in the past due to blow downs. Real heros here!
That was an epic adventure on one of my absolute favourite RUclips channels! Thanks for taking us along for the ride, some of those sections had me on the edge of my seat!
First of all, as a 2-wheel BDRer... "Thank you". You have no idea what it means to us on 2 wheels when you clear those tracks like you do. 1 downed tree can force us to turn around and find an alternate route. You have done a great job in highlighting what an amazing adventure BDRs can be. And amazing cinematography and post production. Really well done guys. I did find myself laughing a bit at all of the "mod cons" that you had with you on your adventure (like a data projector for movie nights). On 2 wheels you have to pack incredibly basic... but hey...that is another type of adventure. Well done... and thanks again.
I like watching your builds, the creativity, fab skills and variety of rigs that you have is incredible…. But i really like watching content like this. The overlanding adventures and watching what your and your crews rigs can do is TOP NOTCH!!!! A+ friend!!
I live in beautiful Washington state, Working on a 2006 Xterra off road right now for overlanding off road adventure, just did overall maintenance, now working on suspension modifications. Excited to get back off roading after selling the Tacoma TDR (over 400,000 miles on it) a few years ago. Thanks for all your work clearing a beautiful off-road route!
this is possibly the best scenery, postcard perfect location, probably the best I've seen you visit yet. too bad camper couldn't come on the hike. makes me want to come to America and see all the glorious nature you have. you are blessed.
I really enjoyed this video. The west truly has an enviable resource in public lands. Here in the east, it's a never-ending challenge to find good places to explore and enjoy.
Your ability to tell the story of an incredible trip, is as impressive as your ability to put together your rigs. Thanks for sharing this with us. You put together a great crew of guys for this trip too.
Amazing video. The four of you made a huge impact on opening those trails. The job of clearing all those trees is more wearing then you made it look. The memories you made are priceless and the friendships endless. I hope too one day embark on a similar adventure. I appreciate the stewardship of the land you embraced and promoted.
Hey, dirt lifestyle, great video. Just stumbled upon it. I was that guy on the ktm 790 stuck in that mud with you guys that afternoon. Awesome watching that big rig get through that mud. You should have hung out and watched me struggle through there on my bike. That, "after fire mud" is the absolute worse stuff ever. cheers.
Props to whomever was running alongside Big Blue in the mud at 46:00 keeping the winch line out of the tire while he smashed through the mud hole. Strong effort, nice work!!
Nate amazing video! The amount of work that goes into making this is huge. I don’t think a lot of people realize. Yes your out driving off-road and having a great time. But your also constantly working. Making sure you get the footage from the right angles. Drone shots. Walking ahead setting up the camera. It’s alot of work. And then I’m guessing you spent weeks and weeks editing this all together. It’s up there as one of your best videos ever. I also appreciate the realism. Showing on camera the work you guys did. And I also like that yes there is some drama. But it doesn’t come across manufactured or exaggerated. And some of that snow wheeling on the edge and beehive looked sketchy on camera. So you know it really was! Because the camera never does it justice! I can’t wait for the next video. Be it fab work or adventure. It’s always enjoyable to watch.
Great adventure to watch, thanks for taking the time to document it. Brings back great memories of my dirtin adventures over the past 30 years up here in Alberta and BC. Thanks again!
I lived in the Ellensburg are for around 10 year, and just loved it. So much outdoor activities it endles. Plus the beauty is bar none. Thanks for clearing and cleaning.
I don’t have much experience off-roading in the snow but i can see that your skill level would have to be maxed out to drive the trails that they encountered under those conditions! Much respect!

I grew up on a lot of these roads in the 80s and 90s. Many of them in 2x4 trucks or cars and a highlife jack. Good memories! Super glad you guys got to enjoy them.
never watched an hour long video. EVER !!! till now. thank you. had me puckered up on multiple occasions. great fun, great friends. THAT WAS FUN !!!!
EPIC!!!!.. Verry nice trip great job fixing the trail!!!
Absolutely epic! Thankyou.
The algorithm brought me here for some reason. And even though this isn't the usual content I watch, I enjoyed all 50 minutes of it.
EPIC! Y'all rocked it and we appreciate you!
Awesome thanks for pumping out the content lately 🙌🏽
Wow, thank you so much for all of your hard work clearing these trails. We weren't able to do the jungle in the past due to blow downs. Real heros here!
Beautiful
Brutal
Challenging
Thrilling
Thanks for taking us along!
I am blown away with how freaking good this whole thing was. Amazing video, through and through 🙌🙌
That was an epic adventure on one of my absolute favourite RUclips channels! Thanks for taking us along for the ride, some of those sections had me on the edge of my seat!
First of all, as a 2-wheel BDRer... "Thank you". You have no idea what it means to us on 2 wheels when you clear those tracks like you do. 1 downed tree can force us to turn around and find an alternate route. You have done a great job in highlighting what an amazing adventure BDRs can be. And amazing cinematography and post production. Really well done guys. I did find myself laughing a bit at all of the "mod cons" that you had with you on your adventure (like a data projector for movie nights). On 2 wheels you have to pack incredibly basic... but hey...that is another type of adventure. Well done... and thanks again.
Quality video, quality people. Thanks for the great example of hard work (cutting a bazillion logs), good attitude, and camaraderie.
What absolute awesome adventure, better than most movies. You guys our work horses. Thank you for sharing! What a beautiful trip. So cool!
Thank you for picking up any and all trash you see and also for saying so on this video. I do the same whenever I go bush
Boys getting together and having fun with their toys ! Amazing
Thank you for cutting all those trees! WOW !! Thanks for opening it up for us Washington backroad drivers,
Thank you for showing this amazing adventure!
WA is lucky to have you. Hopefully I get to enjoy some of these open roads you paved for us. Thanks so much!
I love that squarebody.
I like watching your builds, the creativity, fab skills and variety of rigs that you have is incredible…. But i really like watching content like this. The overlanding adventures and watching what your and your crews rigs can do is TOP NOTCH!!!! A+ friend!!
I live in beautiful Washington state, Working on a 2006 Xterra off road right now for overlanding off road adventure, just did overall maintenance, now working on suspension modifications. Excited to get back off roading after selling the Tacoma TDR (over 400,000 miles on it) a few years ago. Thanks for all your work clearing a beautiful off-road route!
Thank you for clearing my back country...as a resident of wa I can't wait to get there...
this is possibly the best scenery, postcard perfect location, probably the best I've seen you visit yet. too bad camper couldn't come on the hike. makes me want to come to America and see all the glorious nature you have. you are blessed.
So glad you guys went and cleared out all the dead trees on the road thank you thank you thank you.
WOWOWOWOW. You guys cleared the trail for all us BIKERS!!!! Big thank you
What an epic adventure! Ain't gonna lie, I was on the edge of my seat for most of it. Great job fellas!
I really enjoyed this video. The west truly has an enviable resource in public lands. Here in the east, it's a never-ending challenge to find good places to explore and enjoy.
Your ability to tell the story of an incredible trip, is as impressive as your ability to put together your rigs. Thanks for sharing this with us. You put together a great crew of guys for this trip too.
Amazing video. The four of you made a huge impact on opening those trails. The job of clearing all those trees is more wearing then you made it look. The memories you made are priceless and the friendships endless. I hope too one day embark on a similar adventure. I appreciate the stewardship of the land you embraced and promoted.
That old suburban is so cool love it !!! You guys are cool too 🧙♂️🪓🇺🇸🙏
I've just had it long enough that it has become cool again!
Nate, thanks for bringing us the joy of overlanding!
Hey, dirt lifestyle, great video. Just stumbled upon it. I was that guy on the ktm 790 stuck in that mud with you guys that afternoon. Awesome watching that big rig get through that mud. You should have hung out and watched me struggle through there on my bike. That, "after fire mud" is the absolute worse stuff ever. cheers.
Props to whomever was running alongside Big Blue in the mud at 46:00 keeping the winch line out of the tire while he smashed through the mud hole. Strong effort, nice work!!
Great video good editing and music congrats
Nate amazing video! The amount of work that goes into making this is huge. I don’t think a lot of people realize. Yes your out driving off-road and having a great time. But your also constantly working. Making sure you get the footage from the right angles. Drone shots. Walking ahead setting up the camera. It’s alot of work. And then I’m guessing you spent weeks and weeks editing this all together. It’s up there as one of your best videos ever. I also appreciate the realism. Showing on camera the work you guys did. And I also like that yes there is some drama. But it doesn’t come across manufactured or exaggerated. And some of that snow wheeling on the edge and beehive looked sketchy on camera. So you know it really was! Because the camera never does it justice!
I can’t wait for the next video. Be it fab work or adventure. It’s always enjoyable to watch.
Great adventure to watch, thanks for taking the time to document it. Brings back great memories of my dirtin adventures over the past 30 years up here in Alberta and BC. Thanks again!
Dudes, thanks so much for clearing out the jungle. That's a nasty knot of trees and we appreciate you spending all that time getting through it
Winter is coming, class. I love winter offroad😍
Thanks for adventure guys
I lived in the Ellensburg are for around 10 year, and just loved it. So much outdoor activities it endles. Plus the beauty is bar none. Thanks for clearing and cleaning.
What an absolutely amazing adventure. It felt like I was there with you! This was so fun to watch, thanks for the great moments!
I don’t have much experience off-roading in the snow but i can see that your skill level would have to be maxed out to drive the trails that they encountered under those conditions! Much respect!
Love that the city guy had a great time, I think everyone should do a trip like this with friends.
Halfway through this epic. Already some cheek clentchers, some laughs and a whole lot of inspiration. Thank you Nate and the team!
Epic trip! Seeing videos like this really makes me miss the PNW so much!
