  • Well this sure was a fun day! So fun that I had to split it up into 2 videos. The reason I am doing that is so that this video remains a fun, light hearted off road episode, and the next will be strictly about the recovery and why the issue was so urgent with the recent Bush wildfire in the area. Stay tuned for the next couple videos explaining the events that unfolded. It was crazy!

    What do you guys think of these offroad adventure videos? They seem to get less vieelws than anything related to camping, but I love making them!

      I like the offroad video's, but they make the old stomach acid flow freely. One of my worst fears is to get hung up on rocks. I can deal with mud. Vaughn

      Haha that's funny david - I am the opposite! I dont mind getting hung up on rocks and scraping over them, but mud freaks me out. I've had some bad mud recoveries.. well, you've probably seen the videos! Haha

    The G-Wagon in its natural habitat. Front, center, and rear lockers plus 4WD Lo. It's a beast. Sadly, it's been given a bad name by hollywood musicians.

      I absolutely LOVE the gladiator! There are pros and cons for sure, and if you havent owned a jeep before it might be a different truck. But this thing feels like my JK with a bed, and 10x smoother haha

    That's why I like dirt bikes, or dual sports. We don't have desert where I am from, but we have plenty of mud. Did I say mud? Can you say mud? I knew you could. Now I did like the hill, and puddle jumping is fun too. Especially on a motorcycle. Woohoo! Good show Phil. Take care man and stay healthy. Vaughn

    And neither the G Wagon nor the Nissan have a winch. Either they are VERY BRAVE or St_pid. Unfortunately there are Pros and Cons regarding a LOOOOOOONG wheel base vehicle. Luckily you have a decent winch.
