- Опубликовано: 17 июн 2023
- Join us on an unforgettable 9-day offroad and overland expedition through the rugged terrain of Oregon's Backcountry Discovery Route (OBDR). In this video, we document the hard times, challenges, and triumphs we encountered on our adrenaline-fueled journey.
This was a BEAST of a video to film and edit, but I think we ended up with a great second episode of the Powerstop Trail Series!
I hope this inspires you to call your adventure buddies and plan your next big trip.

Clicked on it and saw over an hour video…. Immediately cast it to the living room tv and kicked the family out. Lol time for a beer and a movie. Happy father day everyone.
Yes dude lol this makes me so happy 😂
Dude, literally same.
Same! Except kicked the dog outside and grabbed a red bull 🤙🏻
I turned it on my tv with my family. Loved my kids watching this with me. Happy father's day.
I always cast natt's vids on my tv also. beer and snacks in hand so epic!
Thanks for clearing the trees! We ended up running part of the route south of Mt Hood today.
We didn’t need our saws once.
You rarely get to thank the people who cut the trail for you!
You are so right in telling and reminding our fellow citizens that we need to take care of our forests.
It's important 🙌
That goes for the Feds too. I would bet that burned stand of tightly spaced pecker poles was on Federal land. On the bright side, we won't have to worry about it burning again this year.
I leave my trash everywhere what’s the problem
Yup, and bringing back logging, and replant, so we're not building endless amounts of fuel, is the key!
Unforgettable adventure with still greater people. It's always worth the drive from TX to hang with y'all in the PNW.
Thanks for making the trip my friend 🙌. We will keep getting closer to you 😁
Love the suburban man.
Awesome getting to wheel with the suburban, and you…😂
@@MuddyBeards4X4 Same to you man. Loved the way the S10 worked, and looking forward to seeing how you get the rear frame all built out.
@@jnkellogg737 Thanks! It's my favorite of the fleet.
The cinematography of this is just outstanding to me, it just gets better and better.
Way to go Nate🎉
Keep at it👍👋🇸🇪
Thank you!
totally agree, somedays I wonder if Nate is better videographer and editor than a fabricator? Keep pumping out the outstanding videos #dirtlifestyle
I agree, absolute amazing video. I live in Oregon and makes me want to go explore Oregon even more. If I could ask for one thing, turn down the music, love engines, loves tires, don't care for music in outdoor videos. If you keep the music I will still watch, you do an excellent job on narrating and video.
what cameras are these

Currently watching this in the NICU. I can't wait to take these adventures and make memories with my family. Happy Father's Day, dads, and what an awesome video, Nate!
Happy Father's day!
Can't believe I didn't watch this sooner, it's such a great video and really appreciated seeing that square body Suburban out there.👍
For the bumper that broke, it was mentioned that the bolts were welded on, tuning them into studs. It is possible that is the root cause of the issue. Many bolts do come with a heat treatment to give them their grade (strength) and welding temps will destroy almost every heat treat, reducing the strength of the bolt to almost nothing. (Grade 1)
47:15 is a prime example why I have a portable/onboard welder in my rig. I have used it on myself, but mostly on friends and stranded strangers. I have used the Miller portable suitcase welder and currently running a on-board Power Welder System. Love them both.
This video rocked! I watched it twice - once on my phone and the second time on the big screen with the sound up! The production quality is amazing! You told the story of the journey, it wasn't a gopro strapped to a truck for an hour or a pile of handheld shots over one obstacle. Your storytelling is top notch. Your channel is the bar for offroad content!
Back in the 60's when I was a lot younger, my folks belonged to what was back then, the Rough Riders Jeep club. We didn't take 10 day trips cuz no one back then could afford to take 10 days off of work. So we'd go out for three or sometimes 4 days at a time. We went in some pretty knarly places so watching your videos brought back some long forgotten memories. We have a Polaris RZR now and it goes thru terrain like what you guys went thru waaay easier. But of course we can't carry all the stuff you guys carry so we just camp with our 5th wheel camper and just go out for a day at a time. But at least we're still getting out. I'm 73 now and even though I had a double heart attack last year, i'm still going to keep going out and enjoying our beautiful mountains here in Montana.
Can't wait to watch this on the big screen! 🙌
Thanks Shaun 🤘
OR resident and not far from the middle section I will definitely be going on the Oregon BDR this year and thankful that you guys cleared the way already for those of us taking it this year!! Great content and always a good day when Nate posts a new video.
it would be fun to get a group together for something like these guys did.
Truly interesting video, and mind-blowing stuff you guys did. I imagine doing it one day, but not at this time. Thanks for letting me take the trip vicariously through the efforts of the whole crew!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 🙌
And for those of us that have older rigs, with proper care, we can do this also.. thank you Nate and friends for all the fun you had and showing us the way.. for me, Mojave road and East Mojave Heritage trail until I get back to the PNW..
... what a fantastic Off Road video ... everybody into offroading needs to see this. Congratulations to Nate and friends ... what an exciting adventure !!!!!!
Thanks for the positive comment 👍. I'm glad you enjoyed being on this adventure with us
As an Oregonian I was happy to click this and happier after watching it all. Great video, I'd love to do that trail some day. Ill see y'all next year for the next big trip!
Detroit Oregon is one of my favorite off the beaten path locations in Oregon. It was sad when the fire destroyed most of the town. There is a beautiful river spot near there called three pools, so beautiful, but I believe the fire also affected the pools as well.
I love that s-10 with those particular head lights instead of the smaller ones
A friend ran across this video and emailed me about it. Epic! I was actually attempting to do a solo drive of ORBDR section 5 the same day you were doing that section. Luck had me run across you guys twice on your trip. Both times, I was turning around because of the depth of snow I was seeing. My vehicle was a white F350 superduty. Now that I see what you guys encountered, I think I made the right decision. Maybe someday I will have the skills and experience to accomplish what you all did. That your suburban made it, tells me I am the limiting factor, not my vehicle! Glad you guys ultimately were successful and congrats on overcoming all the natural and mechanical obstacles that occurred during your trip. Best of luck on your next adventure! Hope to see you on the trails again some day!
Fantastic video Nate! You did a great job condensing that marathon of an adventure down to just over an hour. Thanks to David, Kelly, Arron, and Kris as well for an unforgettable journey and for putting your vehicles to the test. Good parts on your rig go a long way! We can't wait to see how this inspires others to go experience all the incredible places your vehicle can take you🤘
Glad to spend time among some of my favorite people. Thank y'all for continuing to support this offroad and adventure community. Powerstop is a leader among its peers.
Great camera work and editing! Just an amazing experience, thanks for taking us along for the ride!👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇸
Great video! We are doing this at the end of June, but going south to north. Thanks for clearing the 500 trees so we don’t have to!
Great job. Looks like a great way to spend time with good friends. You did a good job showing the beautiful areas you wheeled through. As always you have the best content and show it well. Thank you all.
I have just recently purchased a Jeep JKU for this very purpose. It will need some serious upgrades but I’m committed to get it done. I have wheeled all over the ozarks and the trips you guys are doing are amazing. I’m torn because I also have a K30 Suburban. This for me is a fine line of weight vs horsepower. I have followed your channel for years ever since the Bleepin Jeep days. I stumbled across Dave’s channel when I started my Suburban path. I think you guys make a great team. Love the videos and the inspiration. Thanks Nate keep up the great work!!!
Troy - the answer is to build both! Glad you were here to enjoy the video. We had a lot of fun making it.
I’m so glad I watched this whole video in one sitting. Excellent job guys!
A couple buddies and I are planning on starting an annual BDR trip amongst our friend group. Can't wait. This video much like your other wheeling/adventure ones was amazing. Looked like a blast. Hope Kelly gets his frame fixed soon!
What a great video!!! Truly loved seeing a bunch of good friends have an amazing time without being idiots / clowns. I’m inspired to spend some good time with my buddies outdoors. Thanks for making this.
Best Father’s Day movie
Thank you very much 🙌
This was an amazing video, started it and couldn’t stop. Not an extreme off road guy but gives me the itch to plan something similar. Go with a couple friends and our boys, would be an amazing adventure!
Fantastic as always. Glad Kelly’s vehicle made it!
Such an amazing trip and you all fought for every mile of it!! Life time of memories were created during that ride I’m sure 👍🏻
Thanks for taking us along ! Night trek through snow? not often found on film - difficult I would imagine to record AND navigate. Sooo much glorious scenery, men being men civilly of course... lovin your trip and missing the northwest mountains.
Just an absolutely epic episode Nate, You're editing skills are crushing it!
What Great work from everyone.
What an amazing group of guys!
The absolute soulfulness of this trip hit me right in the feelers. A+
Happy Father's Day Fellas!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
Such a cool video! I was born and raised in Oregon and have been all over that state, it’s such a unique state cause it has every terrain, land feature, and scenery you can think of. The deserts of Oregon is by far my favorite place. I used to live in Fort Rock Oregon which is just north west of Christmas valley about 35 miles and that is by far the coolest place I’ve ever lived. So many trails out there and miles and miles of nothingness. When you guys got to CV I got a huge smile on my face and was so thrilled you got to check out that area. This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and look forward to the next! I recently bought a 2014 jku I’m building and cannot wait to take it on some trails soon. Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure, safe travels always, and keep the shiny side up!💪
I can’t imagine the amount of work it would have taken to make this masterpiece of a video. Phenomenal work. I may be highly jealous of the editors skills. Wow
Great flick! Well shot and narrated. Keep up the good work. Watched it on my big screen. Epic.
Thank you!
Absolutely awesome Nate and team! What an epic journey, great teamwork! Makes me want to come from Melbourne to the states to wheel trails👌
As a motorcycle bdr traveler I really appreciate Crews like you that come through first and clear the road.
My hat's off to the S10 Crew cab owner!! I had a blue 2002 for 8 years had over 15,000 in upgrades absolutely loved watching it in the video!!
Thanks 👊🏻
Nate, you are an incredible story teller. This video seemed like it was 10 minutes long. All of the beautiful scenery, the obvious friendship between you all, it is just amazing. Well done everyone.
Wow! I've been a big fan for a few years now, your videos just get better and better, but this is next level. What an amazing adventure, and with the excellent editing, music & cinematography, I enjoyed every second of it. I also really like your message about people helping people at around 1:08, that really needs to be said more.
Happy Father's Day, Nate!
Happy Father's Day!
Great job. Good to see Aaron with you
Thanks, Jerry! Aaron was really valuable on this trip!
Another banger Nate! Im with david on the all butt bread loaves its the best slice!😅
Lol, I'm told they are called heels... we always called them butts 😎.
@@DirtLifestyle only sissies call them heels, around here they’re butts😂
@@DirtLifestyle Butts > Heels
I'm definitely a butt man as well
We call the end slices the heel. For 70 years we've called them the heel, In fact, this is the first time i've ever heard anyone call them the butt end of the loaf.
This was a great video to hang out and watch on this rainy Sunday in Oregon, thanks for the production. Definitely motivating me to get my Raptor off road worthy (winch & front locker) soon for some epic trail riding like this.
The cinematography of this is just outstanding to me
Best adv video since Ewan and Charlie crossed Mongolia! You and your mates make a strong team. Thanks for the effort!
That's some rarified air! Really glad you enjoyed our adventure.
as always filmed and edited so well and Nate! Looks like you all had a great time in Oregon!
The front and rear of a bread loaf is called the heel. 🤷🏽♂️
Also known as a heel, lol. Not sure why I forgot.
I love that S10. I'm wanting to build a 4-door small pickup, and a 4 door S10 is probably second on the list of vehicles that I'd consider.
Thanks, the S10 is a great platform to start with, as long as you can find a clean one. What’s your #1 choice then?
@@MuddyBeards4X4 My first vehicle was a 88 S10 Blazer, that I still have and it could use some updating. Still on IFS but with 4" suspension lift and 2" body lift on 33s. That's why the S10 isn't top of the list. Everything that I would do to it, I probably already want to do to the Blazer. Top of the list is a first gen Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Seems like a super solid platform and the front suspension is shared with the Ranger, so there is support there and I've always wanted some long travel. I have a build all planned out, I just don't have room and can't decide if that money would be better spent on my 97 Powerstroke. A long travel TTB kit is calling my name. There's just too many options! 😂
I love the suburban. Hardly ever see someone rocking the full side trucks.
Loving the Suburban! That thing is sick, such a cool build but super heavy im sure. Great content and trail clearing. Good job guys thank you for such a long video! ❤
Thanks very much for watching our adventure, and I'm glad you dig the suburban. It's my fave, too.
I’ve camped many nights at that clearing campsite near Detroit. So glad it didn’t burn in the 2020 fires. I was worried about it until the area opened back up. Glad you were able to enjoy it!
Would you mind sharing the name of that campsite? Or at least a nice hint.
This, hands down, is the most entertaining off-road video I have watched in a very long time. Bravo!
Dude!!WOW!!✌️
What a good upload! Good content and editing as usual! A good time with good friends is hard to beat! Even if there is a little back breaking work involved, it’s worth it! This video is some serious motivation to get my project done! I like how you made sure to remind everyone to be good stewards to the environment. Cause if we’re not, trails like these will be closed down!
the s10 is awesome. Chevrolet all day
Awesome video! Thanks for putting your message out there about being a good steward to the land.
I used to wheel in AZ....("phoenix area").... There was a man made fire that spread over countless acres and toasted everything. Everything was destroyed for tens of miles in all directions. It was very sad to see. It went from a beautiful desert with saguaro cactus, to a burnt waste land.
that flooded trail crossing was absolutely great, true adventure.
Somebody in your group needs to mount an onboard welder.
That was an amazing video and adventure!! Thanks for taking us with you!!!!!
I agree! Welder next year for sure 👍
@@DirtLifestyle We're absolutely bringing that 24V suitcase welder.
I don't have a truck, but this video sure was fun to watch. Makes me want to get a truck and tackle some trails with some guys that are also a little adventurous! Thanx for sharing this video! Keep up the good work!
Dude, if you have the adventure gene, there is nothing more satisfying than getting a crew together and heading to the mountains!
The 4x4 world is all about adventure, camaraderie, and embracing the great outdoors. This video nails it!
Made me feel America again watching this... Thanks for sharing your good times with great friends...
I think it would have been awesome to have each person that went either before or after the trip do like a rig walk around.
Agreed. It’s the rigs that have brought me to these videos. They’re works of art
@@MajestyBlue5 .. so true on the rigs ,, but sometimes that's only spendable cash .... for me it's the judgement calls and skills to stay alive ..
Lightning fires are a natural occurrence. It’s nature’s way of cleaning and clearing undergrowth and cleansing the soil. In 5 years it will be a beautiful landscape and starting of a forest again. I’ve seen it happen before here in the North Carolina mountains. Love all the videos,prayers for you and your family.
No it won’t. These forests were destroyed because of years of poor management.
This is perfect Nate! Monday off, cold beer, and leftovers. Can't get much better than this. Thanks 🍻
Stunning, amazing just like a discovery Channel documentary
Wow man thank you for the huge compliment 🙏
The scenery and cinematography is this is absolutely stunning. Great job! Loved every minute.
This was an awesome video! You guys really fought hard for this one! I used to live in the Pacific Northwest for 10 years. I had to move away to the Midwest. I miss the PNW every day. Such amazing country. How do you find friends like these to adventure with? No one I know is even remotely interested in these kinds of trips, and I’m the only person I know who even has a Jeep! Needless to say everything I do is solo, which severely limits where I go.
Oregon is such a pretty state. I'm from Australia where the 4x4 community is very, very large and very, very different. Interesting to see other nations experiences in the 4x4 world. great video!
My brother and I have done the Arizona and Colorado BDRs along with four of our friends. We had my Jeep YJ, with our home built off road trailer, a Sprinter Sportsmobile , and my brother and 3 other friends on dual-sport bikes. I wish I could post pictures in this comment section, but let’s just say that the trips were epic. And yes the Sportsmobile made it the whole way on both trips. Ophir pass was the beginning of some of the most clenching shelf roads I have been on, but some of the trails were a lot tougher.
Thanks for sharing this Nate . That was awesome.
Great video and a great trip. I noticed no real snorkels for the dust management as I know most people don’t think they need one up until they do a trip like yours with multiple people on dusty roads. Definitely helps with filter life and sadly a mod that most people like to make fun of while not understanding what they do. Wish yah luck on the onX off-road build, great choice of rig.
I've got a SAS 2000 Denali that has a 4L60. I rarely run in 4th gear unless I'm on really flat ground because of the transmission shifting between 4th & 3rd along with the torque converter locking/unlocking in 4th. I' built the truck about 9 years ago and have put roughly 50,000 miles on it with no tranny issues (knock on wood). I hope he gets his tranny issues lined out...love that big square body.
Tearing into the 4L80 today!
Thank you for showcasing Detroit. That burger joint is fantastic and the owners of the market are amazing people.
This deserves so much credit.
53:00 10/10 Oregon Trail reference
Your comments about GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING are spot on.Put down the electronics and experience life and real people!!!! Loved the video
Amazing video, fellas. Love seeing the builds, you guys maintaining the woods and the trails, and tackling those obstacles. I grew up in the PNW mountains and I know how that snow gets in the spring! Even with awesome beadlocks and lockers you still gotta WORK to get through.
I love the burb. I got a 90 squarebody burb and an 87 k5. Love those vehicles
Love how the guy in the gladiator brought his pups with him. Dogs make the best trips even better
That looks like so much fun all of you are having. What an adventure! I really appreciate the time it took to make this video. I got some education for myself out of it. This is my second time watching it LOL. I have been to many of the places that you guys have traveled through. Washington and Oregon have some of the most beautiful scenery that I have ever seen. The fires that have ran through many of the area's, in those backwoods have definitely made their marks. Great job guys.
SO COOL TO WATCH YOU GO THROUGH MY STATE. Oregon is home for life.
You guys are gangster!
An hour my life well spent watching this one!
Thanks for sharing!
Im going to start calling my buddies first thing tomorrow to set up a trip! 🤘
Dude... Nate, killer video. Thanks for bringing us along!
Thank you for watching! And I appreciate the positive feedback 👊
I have never seen so much wilderness in a single video. Love you guys!

Just finished my harbor freight camper trailer and this is the perfect inspiration to take it out again. Loving the video!
Get out there! I plan on bringing my HF trailer on the next BDR trip 🤘
Thank you so much for clearing all though trees.
Thanks for clearing the route.
Fun part of snow wheeling in those conditions - if someone had followed your track the next day they would have said "what did they struggle with?" break the crust, the snow melts below very, very quickly.... fun stuff, can't believe how much of that route I've run at various points of my life (used to live near Portland)
Awesome adventure
Once again I’m jealous of the travels
Thx for the entertainment
It's crazy seeing these places that I've been to, some many times as a child, again, as a route for serious trailblazing.
This is one of the best videos you've ever made Nate! It makes me want to move to Oregon.
Eric is a great dude. Good choice on getting his bumper.
Nate. You're a welder. Bring a welder! LOL great video!
I definitely will 🙌
Something had been perplexing me while watching this video up until the time of the presentation of the all butt bread loaf and then it struck me.
Oh my God! These guys are nerds!
That Burb is a beast. Love it!
Nate you videos never disappoint... love the channel im so happy you are who you are ❤❤❤
I just went through every bit of tools I've got and small parts this past week. Incredibly happy with the new Ridgid Gen 2.0 system. They are not as robust as the Milwaukee Packouts but they are stronger, less costly and perfect for my needs. I made additional dividers out of bamboo cutting boards and am not looking back. Removable dolly, drawer boxes got my vote. Being able to use some of my old Ridgid 1.0 organizers and power tool boxes is a plus. Latches together very well. Will be using these for the next 10+ years. Thanks for making a video!
