[Day 1 & 2] Oregon Backcountry 4Runner Roadtrip and Car Camping
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This is episode 1 of 3 that covers a multi-day backcountry camping trip in Oregon, USA. I start in Washington and head south to Roseburg before dipping east into the cascades to begin the trip. The goal was to explore unknown areas, R&R, and take notes on where I might want to return with the family. Accompanied with me is my trusty pup Lena and our vehicle is a 2020 Toyota 4Runner.

Awesome trip! Found a great spot for camping and chilling 👍🏻
Great video. Star Wars t-shirt driving the storm trooper 4R!
Inadvertently matching!
Etc. The truckstop just South of Roseburg is where my Q's fan pully came off.
You'll find a fair amount of burns down in OR. In WA there are some just N of Lion Rock on section 3 of the WABDR. Also, I think it's long gone now, but the bare trees in the blast zone around Mt. St. Helens on your way to Spirit Lake used to be eerie - like bones sticking up from the ash.
I think that was Amtrak's Coast Starlight you drove by - runs from LA to Seattle & includes an observation car. I've taken it between PDX and Seattle numerous times.
Just had that exact same Carne Asada this week. It was pretty decent. Great idea to take it camping - I'm definitely going to have to remember that in the future.
LOVE those Wolfwise privacy tents
I always seem to put off airing down until I have to and then I kick myself for not having just done it earlier.
Funny you mentioned it "downright pouring" in Seattle when you dropped your family off at SeaTac - I flew in from Medford that same day and it was a shock how wet & cold Seattle was by comparison.
Awesome start to an adventure! Your setup is dialed!
Thanks dude, work in progress always!
Looks like a great trip. That is one area of Oregon I haven't explored yet (aside from Crater Lake). Looking forward to part 2!
Thanks for watching dude!
@@GrizzlyPath Wouldn't miss it bud
Hit the Siskiyous & the Klamath's just over the border sometime. Beautiful Mtn with noone around.
Welcome to Oregon offroading. I have to admit, I find it better than Washington. The hills more curved and the topography is alot more interesting - I'm pretty sure it's because it didn't all get scraped from North to South with the Glaciers. Additionally, there are alot more trails and they are more accessible and, for the most part, much less travelled. Interestingly, I do find the Oregonians seem to get out regularly enough that I rarely have to clear trees but I often see few to noone. Also, aren't the rivers great! I think it's the more volcanic underpinning that causes them to be more like a flat "U" than our sharp "V"
Noticed the MOLLE's right off. We just have one on the driver's side which puts it above your feet if you're sleeping on the driver side. Paper towel holder is a must. I picked the OrangeBox over the Rago because I found it much easier to be able to get my hand behind it to attach things and to clean. We have a Raingler net in the T4R but honestly, it's too slick and everything moves around. I find my cheap bungee net in the Pathy is actually more user friendly. It's a great place to stuff jackets from the rear passenger seat door, especially when there is a kiddo there. Perfect place for those Reflectix. I'd get a cheap laundry bag to keep your pillow in - it will stay cleaner. I also use plastic chip clips to hold hats, etc to the net. BTW, where did the Plano boxes go when you slept at the Rest Stop? Ordinarily I would just set mine outside (but not at a truckstop).
Yeah the molle panels and ceiling net are both no-name, but they seem good quality and were really cheap. I only had two Plano boxes on this trip so they just went on the folded down passenger seat when sleeping at the rest area, plenty of room in there!
Hey love your vids:) you ever do any projects for pay? I’ve got a 2022 Runner and I’m looking to get a bed and some shelves designed and installed, Chris in Puyallup
That would be fun! Unfortunately I just don’t have the time between work, life, and hobbies. My stuff is very rudimentary, any decent woodworker and craftsman could easily meet or exceed what I can do 😊
That one north of Wilsonville has had murders. Go further south.
Didn’t seem too bad!
Great video.
I’m always curious what wheels/ suspension you’re running.
Looks great.
Thanks! I think I have all the info in my video details for you to check out!
Can you sell me the bracket mount that you weld for bed platform i can’t seem to find any online
Wish I could, but I just don’t have time these days. If I rebuild the platform I would consider selling, but not likely any time soon. Sorry!
How did you modify the electric water faucet to fit the threaded water container? The Amazon listing says it is not for screw on containers. Only works with sealed 5 gallon water bottles.
It’s a very close fit already. The faucet is made to press fits so I trimmed it slightly and then it was able to press fit over my threaded container hole. Works great and took like 5 min.
@@GrizzlyPath does the connection need to be air tight or will the pump suck up water even it is loose?
Doesn’t need to be air tight at all, it’ll run 100% loose. There’s a pickup tube the drops down into the water. I can’t speak for all water jug comparability, but it’s worked well with my 20L Scepter jug.
@@GrizzlyPath thanks. I have 7 gallon Reliance water jugs that have a cap with a screw in dispenser. I am hoping that the unit you have would fit in that screw in area.
@@GrizzlyPath I was going to ask the same question. I have the same Scepter water jug. Can you please link that item so I can check it out. Thanks!
Where is the camp site located? I really wanna visit!
DM me on Instagram if you can and we can chat.
GrizzlyPath + X-wing merchandise?
Disney, hmu!
Where do you store the totes overnight?
Totes spend the night outside. I close them up and stack them neatly. If possible I’ll slide them under the vehicle or store them under my table/awning if those are out. Food is stored inside the vehicle with me though.
@@GrizzlyPath do you secure them from walking away? Sad to ask but nowadays it’s questionable
@judyhowell7075 no I don’t secure them, truth be told I’ve never camped somewhere where that was a factor, but one option would be to put them on the roof of the vehicle maybe.
Jack Pine
What’s Jack Pine?
@@GrizzlyPath Jack pine is the tree you were referring to in your video. Jack pine, although easily killed by fire, has developed serotinous cones that depend upon high heat to open and release the seeds.
That’s awesome! I have mistaken them for redwoods many times haha. I need a flora book.
Did you ever find a need for 4wd on any of this trip? @GrizzlyPath
I did not, it was just forest roads and easy driving and exploring.
@@GrizzlyPath That's my kind of exploring. How many miles did you end up driving out there?
Oh gosh day 1&2 in this vid, not including 350 highway miles, I drove 80mi on dirt roads. The next few days were more though (93, 163, and similar).
@@GrizzlyPath Well hurry up and get them videos up. Lol looking forward to em.
They’re coming! Stay tuned 😊
