Respect the Land!

each location as good or better than it was found. Boondocking is an excellent way to camp and explore so please pick up your trash, put out any fires that you started and leave no trace.

My husband and I grew up in this area and have ridden theses trails many times.
You're very lucky - it's probably the best riding area in the state! Thanks for watching Regina!
Loving the sound track to this video. 🤘👁👁🤘 This pretty much my trail playlist.
Appreciate it and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video and great music too
Thanks for watching! We sure loved making the video and can't wait for this years trip!
Wow, looks like an awesome trip. Definitely added to the bucket list
Glad you liked it Nick, thanks for watching!
Great video it was great meeting all of you. Next time your headed to the UP let us know.
Great meeting you too! We will definitely reach out - it was an amazing time!
Looks like an amazing trip
Thanks for watching and yes, it was pretty amazing! We are really looking forward to this years trip and all the ones in between!
Great ride great music looked like great food also.what more can you ask for
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and it's a blast every year we go and all the trips in between!
Great trip! We’re looking into this, thanks for the info and posting!
Glad you liked it! We are looking forward to our trips this year (If spring will ever arrive!!) - thanks for watching and I'll check out your channel too!
@@UTVBoondocker thanks, just sub to your channel so we can keep an eye out for what you have going this year.
@@DirtyJakTheDustyBean Appreciate it! I'll be ramping up more videos in a month or so. Working on another channel of mine too so it's hard to juggle them both and a full time job :)
Nice video! A friend of mine has a cabin in Land O Lakes. A group of us go up every Labor Day for a week of riding. My girl friend a I usually go up a week early and explore the Copper Harbor area.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the positive feedback! I've never been to copper harbor and it is on my list of places to go (maybe next year). I'm wondering if the trails will support a 4-5 day trip but I'm not sure. I suspect that it's stunning up there and look forward to going! Have fun on the trip and join the facebook group to share pics if you like!
Laying in bed sick. Came across this video. Loved every minute of it. Ive yet to ride the western U.P. we have a cabin north of Seney. After watching this i want to trade my Defender for a commander and hit those north western trails
Glad you enjoyed the video! The western UP is a fantastic place to hit the trails with the elevation changes, waterfalls and great places to stop for fuel & food - you'll have to make the trip one of these days. You're in a great area too, we love riding that area just as much. Lots of terrain changes and endless trails. We have some other videos out there to pass the time, in fact the first trip in 2017 was in the eastern UP (we dropped in Curtis) so feel better, thanks for watching and get to planning that next trip!
Someone has a lot of talent!😊
I’m 3:40 in and had to stop and subscribe #875. Been wanting to do this type of thing for years, and my buddies are finally getting SxS, so maybe soon. 👍👊🇺🇸🤘from the NLP✋
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked the video! it's been a blast running these trails, I'm sure you and your buddies will have a great time!
What is this music lol. Awesome trails. I've always wanted to try boondocking
Love guns n roses
Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video. For this video, I chose to just go with some musics that I liked :). This years video will be more of a voice-over and I'm planning on sharing the GAIA route. We'll also have some other rides (I posted a short one recently that had the route posted as well).
Awesome video! I can’t wait to head up their this month. I sent you a email asking about witch trail to use, thanks!
Hi Jason, I've responded to the email and thanks for watching! Our annual trip is coming in a few weeks - I'll be getting ready for that soon! SUPER PUMPED!
Nice work on the vid! Your trip looks like a blast. Curious of your routes?
Thanks for watching! I've been toying with the idea of publishing routes - it's just a TON of work to go back and filter them out but I just released a small video with my downloadable route. It's my newest video - check it out!
Great video !! Can you send me your trail route going up in October please
Thanks for watching! I would have to go back and build those routes and it's really time consuming so it's probably not going to be available anytime soon. We ARE getting ready for our annual trip (leaving next week) so I'll do my best to record the route for sharing. This time we will be in the eastern UP wandering around. Super excited!
Great video and looks like a blast. What time of year did you guys go? How were the bug/black flies?
We usually go in August-September for this annual trip. No issues with bugs at all but when I go up in May-June, the bugs can be a bit savage. This years date is still up in the air as we are figuring out schedules but I'm hoping we'll have a larger group so it should be a blast. We will probably be in the eastern UP this year - we are going to try and trace our trip from 2017 which I didn't have routes saved.
Anyway you guys would share your maps with me taking 3 sxs up their in may would like to hit some of your trails they look amazing?
Hi Kenny, yes - I still plan on sharing the routes and it will most likely be on my website (www.utvboondocker.com). Been super busy over the winter on a second channel but I've had enough interest to edit my routes and post them. Feel free to follow up - my email is: utvboondocker@gmail.com and thanks for watching!

Would it be possible to get a map of routes you guys like the riding you guys did thanks for the help!
Hi, I've been thinking of taking on that effort. I did receive your email and just responded - let me know your thoughts and thanks so much for watching!
Really well done video! It was truly entertaining ! Good music! I subscribed!
Thanks Jason! Appreciate it and thanks for watching. We had a blast making it!
Awesome video, Do you have maps available for this ride? Thanks in advance
Hi Joseph, I doh't have those routes built but I've been thinking about doing it - just quite a bit of work. Keep an eye out for future videos with routes - I may just do that over the winter. Thanks for watching!!
What if any permits are needed for U.P.? And do they have width limits. My Rzr 74”. Great video. Thanks
In the State of Michigan, you need to get two trail permits (about $30 or so if I remember correctly). One is an ORV sticker and another is a trail permit but the important thing is that you need two. You can read more here: www.michigan.gov/dnr/things-to-do/orv-riding/rules
As far as the width, a stock RZR Pro R with a width of 74" has made it on all of the trails that we go on (based on our last trip in September of 2023). There are VERY few spots that I've seen trail gates and those were in the western UP (I think I only saw one). If you run trails in the mid to eastern UP, you shouldn't have any issues with width unless you venture on a quad trail or something like that. Thanks for watching and I hope that helps you out!
@@UTVBoondocker thank u
Got me wondering how long is that deck over trailer you use to tow the 2 sxs on?
It's a 30 footer that my buddy built from an RV I think. We take these trips enough that he thought he'd build one. It's a little top heavy but pulls nice if the weight is distributed nice. You can pull it with a 2500 but I wouldn't do it with a 1500 - kinda bottoms out (the diesel in the video is a 1500). Thanks for watching!
Is there any way to get a copy of your Gaia route? The trails I find for side X sides in the Michigan all look like old railroad grade.
Yeah, these trails were a combo of roads, snowmobile trails and forestry roads along with some trails by locals. Send me an email and I'll try to get some of them around for you. utvboondocker@gmail.com
We are looking to do this up to copper harbor. Coming from the lower state. Where would you recommend starting from to make it about a 4 day trip?
We usually drop in Ishpeming for a 5 day ride in the area. If you wanted to make this a four day trip, I would suggesting finding a campground in Baraga to drop you trailer and you can pay them to park (most folks a pretty cool about that). We have yet to explore the copper harbor area but plan to in the coming years. Heading up that way will take a little research and things to consider such as the ferry ride, etc. If you do go that route, please post a comment with your experience with the routes! Thanks for watching and have a great time!
@@UTVBoondocker If you're looking for some advice in the Copper Harbor area I would be happy to help. That was our first overlanding trip from Gillett, Wi to Copper Harbor and back in five days on ATV's. There is an abandoned NASA rocket launch pad at the tip on the peninsula.
@@Ragewrapsvideos I've heard of that place! If you have coordinates, that would be great. It may be a 2024 trip but ya never know what this year could bring! It's one of the places that I haven't been able to explore must *yet* :)
How long of a ride is it on the trail from south range to the tip of copper harbor?
Hi and thanks for watching! I wish I knew that answer for you but we haven't taken any routes that far north. That trip is something that I DO plan on taking but I don't have any plans just yet.
How do you find the map on Gaia?
I don't have the routes extracted and published but at some point I may do that. Meanwhile, if you use GAIA, you can use the coordinates and screen shots in the video to follow along. Hope that helps a bit and Thanks for watching!
Are you able to share the route via Gaia or send the .gpx file?
I'm hoping to extract some of the routes this winter (it's quite a bit of work) so stay tuned for that! I have 7 years of rides to weed through and with all of the video editing etc. it's just extra work that I haven't made time for just yet. Thanks so much for watching and we just finished up our 2023 trip so keep an eye out for that!
@@UTVBoondocker Interested in the GPX as well
@@n1p I'll do my best over the winter to come up with something. Keep an eye out for it and thanks again for watching!
Rather hear the machine
I took your advice in future videos. Thank you!
