Off Grid 4Runner Roadtrip and Camping with a Best Friend

In this episode I leave Oregon and head back north to Washington to regroup and pick up one of my best friends who's flown from our hometown of Juneau Alaska. Together we head out into the unknown to find some campsites and explore.

Very cool adventure! Glad you had good time in Wa, Teco! Lol yah the key fob thing always happens to me with my 4Runner 😁

[@OverlandPNW]

Awesome video! You were on one of my favorite routes! Cheers!

[@blackwatch7151]

Great video. Can’t beat a good old friend, your dog and a 4Runner.

[@GrizzlyPath]

Yeah, getting to take a best friend on adventures is the best!

[@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD]

looks like you guys had a blast! ❤️

[@TheKPDX]

Definitely a "Best of" of the WABDR. Section 3 & Bothell Ridge are fantastic. I thought you recently said you hadn't driven the bypass from Nile to Bethell Ridge but it looked like you did on this video. Bee Hive washouts look the best they have in my memory - I'm sure it was a little unnerving for him to be on the downhill side, particularly as you hit the hillside bump on the last big one. It looked like you camped in Haney Meadows and I didn't see Lion Rock or those cliffside views plus I didn't recognize the descent which makes me think you must have come down Naneum Creek - I've never gone that way.

Really enjoying your videos! How are you liking those Duratracs?

[@GrizzlyPath]

I’ve actually been really impressed with the Duratracs! They’re a great option between AT and MT and have very little road noise on pavement so far. Grip has been good and snow performance has been good as well. I’m pretty happy.

@@GrizzlyPath what lift do you have on your 4Runner? Thanks
