Things Get Out Of Control On This 600 mile Offroad Trail. WA Back Country Discovery Route.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2022
- The Washington back country discovery route or BDR is one of the most amazing things I have done offroad. My Toyota was the first vehicle on much of this trail in 2022 and being on this trail early made it absolutely brutal.
This was 10 days and 600 miles of unbelievable views, dangerous snow drifts and epic overland adventure!
Huge thanks to Powerstop Brakes and OnX offroad for making this trip possible!

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 👊.

IMO, your best content yet! Thank you!
You guys are awesome. Such stewards of the land. Amazing!
Really enjoyed this video!
Thank you for showing the work side of these trips as well. Lotta people I’ve run into don’t really have a grasp of that.
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!
Bring your own saw then
I always do when I re-open a trail👍✌
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…!
When we open up a trail we also open it wide enough for everyone.
@@2112kustoms., the effort is the same, so be nice and think in the others too.. 😉
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 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.
Oh dear, I wish i can pack u some serious warm gear, plenty of comfort, probably a nurse too and take you on this trip. God bless you Ma'am.
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.

Hmmmm. An unexpected “Lumberjack Buddies” video. This channel needs to blow-up; it’s what RUclips was made for.
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.
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.
Thank you! I'm honored to have such high praise 🙌
Exactly
Agreed! You're a great story teller.
@@DirtLifestyle explain why you don't run lockers during slow.maneuvers on snow? It sounds ridiculous. But I'm all ears
@@sasquatchrosefarts He said in the video that the lockers would dig into the deep wet snow. He wanted to avoid digging in.
Even we are not 4-wheeling yet but do appreciate people like you guys. Thank you.
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 really like that you had three very different rigs and you showed what good trail stewardship looks like. Great video
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.
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!
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!
Fantastic video Nate! Trip of a lifetime! We hope everyone is itching to get out in their rig now...
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 👍
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! 😃
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
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!
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.
25 years! Nice! I will get there eventually but until then I'm glad you are digging the content man 👊
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
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.
Great idea!
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.
Hey Nate! You're making some killer content! So good in fact that im up at 5am (Queensland Australia 🇦🇺) to watch it 🤙🏻
Thanks... but get to bed man lol. Sleep is important 🤣
@@DirtLifestyle haha nah 5am is a sleep in I'm up at 330 for work most days (mining electrician)
@@andrewwheeldon4494 thanks for doing what you do !
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!!
Absolutely love this! Trails + good friends = epic memories!!
That was an awesome hour
By far better than anything I’ve seen on TV in the last five years.
Thank you.
Hard work is it's own reward! Glad you all enjoyed and have such wonderful memories.
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.
Beautifully put together. Exciting, immersive, even emotional. This was a joy to watch, brother! I got chills from the thrill of adventure!
LOVE that Suburban!!!!
Me too!
It's a favorite of mine. It just never gets old, even after all these years.
I love that you did this in one video. What an epic trip!🍻
I wanted it to be one video from the beginning. I prefer long form video like this even if RUclips doesn't like them lol.
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!
Winter is coming, class. I love winter offroad😍
Nate thanks for the knowledge you share. Like not turning on lockers on driving on soft snow etc, things I note.
Good video
Great video, didn't feel 50 min long. Great job 👊
Thanks brother 👊. I'm suprised you watched it considering we all just got home lol.
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.
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!!
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!
I am so glad I clicked on this video! That intro just hooked me instantly. The editing, cinematography, music, everything was top notch.
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.
@@DirtLifestyle perhaps video of you going back and fixing it.
@@iffykidmn8170 Agreed.
@@DirtLifestyle You've shown on your videos that your the type of guy to take care of the trails for the future, sounds like a job for you maybe.
Heck yeah. Big fan of Jason and David.
Glad you were here for it, friend.
I am so glad my wife is napping right now. I am locked into this video. The information and the sights you all are sharing is amazing.
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
Nate!!! That was EPIC man! High five to you and the guys with you.
Thanks!
Looks like quite an adventure! I love that suburban!
It's a personal fave.
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.
Halfway through this epic. Already some cheek clentchers, some laughs and a whole lot of inspiration. Thank you Nate and the team!
If you complete a 600 mile trail, you’re a legend
That was an accomplishment getting through there that early this year. We did the Lolo Motorway in July and I'm fairly certain we were the first full sized rig to get through at least the higher east end.
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.
I finally sat down to watch this video and I was not disapointed. I enjoy the company you keep and the adventures you have.
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!
Do you know what the specs are on the Suburban?
@@xmo552 not exactly, but the owner of Offroad Design owns it. It's well documented on his website.
@@CatRacer1a2a
Oh that's why it seemed familiar. Thanks.
It's my truck. Full build is here: ruclips.net/user/WillometMotorFab
@@CatRacer1a2a Lots of detail on my channel (it's my truck): ruclips.net/user/WillometMotorFab
Dude this is one of or top 5 of your best videos ! Thank you and if there is a opening in the future for one of these trips ........
Thank you 🙏
Boys getting together and having fun with their toys ! Amazing
Freaking awesome. The burb was a snow plow. You all earned every minute of fun.
I prefer the term "snow tractor." 👍
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?
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.
I hope you've heard it a hundred times already, but thank you for all your efforts in clearing the trails. I love all your videos and the education you give. Great group of buds you got there
What absolute awesome adventure, better than most movies. You guys our work horses. Thank you for sharing! What a beautiful trip. So cool!
I'll pre-order a loaf a butts only. You can't tell if you make your sandwich butts in..
lol I'm glad you enjoy the butt jokes as much as i do 🤣
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 !!!!
Thanks for clearing some trail guys. Did Packwood to Chelan with my M1101 on the back last weekend of June with some friends. Was excellent! Crazy what a few weeks will do. Much dryer though still muddy in the shade and I hade to winch my heavy rig in the same spot David did just going the other way.
For anyone that thinks they can't do this I've a 2010 silverado 3500hd 4x4 reg cab with a utility box on it. Looks like a AAA truck because it once was. Stock height, boorish no terrain tires and nothing but the govlock and an Apex winch to get me and my M1101 trailer where I'm going.
I am blown away with how freaking good this whole thing was. Amazing video, through and through 🙌🙌
Words can not describe how much im in love with that suburban.
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!
So glad you guys went and cleared out all the dead trees on the road thank you thank you thank you.
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!!
Quality video, quality people. Thanks for the great example of hard work (cutting a bazillion logs), good attitude, and camaraderie.
That old diesel Chevy is a beast!!
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.
"This feels awful" that's hilarious.
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.
Wow, great video Nate! The amount of work you guys put into clearing the trails is impressive. Thanks for opening it up for the rest of us to enjoy. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing this adventure. I really appreciate the work you guys did to open up those trails. People like you keep our public land open to the public. Would love to follow along someday!
This was intense but beautiful. I love snow thanks guys and be safe. Great smiles and great attitudes.
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 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.
That suburban is a god damn national treasure. BIG IS BEAUTIFUL.
Nate, thanks for bringing us the joy of overlanding!
That was a beast of a trip !!
That's real off-road done with style !!
What an amazing trip for reasons so different...you'll be talking about that trip, the guys and special moments until your last day. Thank you sir for sharing
Love that the city guy had a great time, I think everyone should do a trip like this with friends.
Wow. What an absolutely incredible trip! That was an incredible video to watch. Great footage, great teamwork, and nothing but the best memories. Also, amazing for you guys to be so prepared and clear almost all of that trail. Dedication to building a better overland/offroad community! Keep up the awesome videos
Awesome - thank you for taking us along!! Best video I have seen in a while!!
WA is lucky to have you. Hopefully I get to enjoy some of these open roads you paved for us. Thanks so much!
Epic... The joys of being the first through trail sections...something to be said for that even though it can be grueling.
Thank you for cutting all those trees! WOW !! Thanks for opening it up for us Washington backroad drivers,
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!
Love my Powerstop brakes and Rotors on both of my rigs
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!
I kept on finding myself wanting the hit the like button over and over again during this video. So good!
This is bad ass. Shout out to all of y'all for clearing out the trails
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
What an epic adventure! Ain't gonna lie, I was on the edge of my seat for most of it. Great job fellas!
Nice job you all did on this trip. Quite an adventure. I live in Ellensburg and have been spoiled over the years with close access to these mountain roads. Great country we live in that has public access to such beauty.
What a great trip, living here I tend to forget how lucky I am to be so close to these amazing places, thanks for sharing this with us.
Looks like an awesome time. Would love to go on a trip like that. Glad you all were safe and no one got hurt (just muscle pain).
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
First video I’ve watched of yours and it didn’t disappoint. Those breakfast burritos looked awesome by the way lol
The "burb" was/is AWESOME/badass!!!
It's my fave. I never got tired of it after all these years.
