This was easily one of the best overland movies I’ve ever watched. People don’t understand how much work goes into all this filming and editing and narrating, plus the real time dialogue captures. And it really highlights some of Idaho’s wonder!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate this comment, it totally made my day. Most importantly though, I'm glad you liked the video. I hope to many more like it!
I too had to look up the definition of commercial... because i wasn't sure if i saw any advertisement for product/ gear/ ect... But what do i know This was a beautiful film, thank you!!!
Part way through the video and I’m curious is diesel fuel is available at the same places you go fuel at. I have a house near Idaho Falls and thought about doing this BDR on a bike but also have a 97 Land Cruiser that I’m thinking about swapping a diesel engine into. Thanks again for the video. Pretty cool.
Diesel is definitely spottier than gas...I think the section around yellow pine, warren, bergdorf would be hard for that...I think you can get it in Elk City, Darby, Lolo, and Pierce though.
I stumbled upon this video. I am a backcountry hunter. Carry everything with you on your back for up to 10 days. I enjoy seeing how others define back country. Everyones definition of it is different. To a city person in a civic the back country could be a groomed gravel road to a car camping site without electricity. To an Overlander its a rough trail without cell service or a way for normal vehicles to get to where they are. For a backpacker it may be 20 miles from the nearest road but still on a trail. For myself its off trail many miles from the road with nothing but whats on my back to keep me alive and happy. Perspective is important and should be remembered when looking at others own definitions. Great video btw. Keep Adventuring
I agree with you, there are different definitions of backcountry...and I use the term in these videos knowing what a "real" backcountry excursion looks like. I have a ton of respect for those who use their own two feet and back to carry everything. I like overlanding though because you can see soooo much country in a day..but we'll never quite get to the depths of say, the Frank Church Wilderness with wheels.
I recently went to Nevada and showed my 78 year old dad your video. (He didn't even know what RUclips was haha.) He isn't able to go out and adventure the backcountry like he used to anymore and was amazed at the quality and information on your video. So thanks again for such an amazing video and for letting someone who loves the outdoors but isn't able to travel like he used to live vicariously through you!
You sir won the award for best over landing video. Certainly if there was such an award you would receive it. There were so many elements to this video that you layered to give an extraordinary experience for us RUclips off roaders. Well done 👍🏾
I heard you talking about how you use regular music in your videos and I’m listening now. It’s so nice to hear regular music on RUclips. I’d love to learn how you do that!
First time viewer. As a Y.T. Subscriber your video was on my recommended list. After being without decent TV for over two months I just finished setting up my basement man cave with theatre chairs and HD Bravia TV. DANG! 😅 Is this a delight to see! Drone video! Color terrain, in my opinion The cliff shots indicate the face of God Himself in all His Majesty! Our Earth is wondrous! I thank you for taking me there, as at 68 I doubt I’ll ever tread on this trail.
I'm so happy to have made this video then. Knowing there are folks out there who get enjoyment and inspiration in the places we go is a massive motivator to keep making these vids. Thank you for the great comment!
You live in your own little world until you're on a mountain top. Then you start to grasp, very abysmally, how vast creation is. You realize how small and insignificant you are in time and space. It's humbling. That's why I love nature, it makes you appreciate it or it won't appreciate you being in it.
@@Venture2Roam gained a lifelong sub here. Love these long format cinematic quality videos. The algorithm played this after and AB Camping video. Keep up the good work, it's working and the algorithm sees you, but more importantly you are bringing education to the next generation of overlanders. It is so refreshing to see people where their priority is to leave the nature better than they found it before. (going one step further than leave no trace such as removing things hindering growth of nature) This means that the next generation will have a more beautiful world that we experience and if that isn't unconditional love, I'm not sure what is. Kudos!
Im just being honest here, I'm absolutely jealous of and happy for you guys. 99% of the people out there anywhere can't do what you do. Keep it up and keep saving your land for everyone. In europe we missed that. Cheers from Germany
Halo! We love Germany...headed back there with the kids next Spring. Thank yo for watching and leaving such a great comment. I agree that we are very lucky to have so much public land - it's a national treasure!!
Awesome....I said to my wife, this is 2 hours long.....we watched the entire thing and loved it! Great job on the video, I know it's a lot of work! @@Venture2Roam
Native Idahoan here and I've traveled this same route several times. When your adventure is uncertain and things could go bad and you wind up Finishing your quest, THOSE are the greatest adventures!!! Great video 👍
I started listening to the American Overlander podcast this summer, and today was the first time I watched your movies. I’ve had two Jeeps and they changed my life, but had to get rid of the Rubicon Recon during covid. Now I’m planning my next rig and can’t wait to explore some of these places. Until then, your movies and joy of everything exploration will get me through. Thanks!!
This was an unforgettable journey! The dramatic landscapes and the way you documented your overlanding experience. Every obstacle, every view was filled with excitement. Your channel is a treasure for any adventure lover!
A safe recovery is a solid recovery. You showed up, tried to help, stayed out of the way... and let the owners make their own call. Great job... solid getting alternative perspectives.
Very well done! 👍 You are inspiring me to drive my old '68 FJ40 Land Cruiser down to Central America.( left hand drive). It has already made a trip across all of Africa (in 1973)
How amazing, y'all. My 17 year old son sent me this and said he wanted us all to do this adventure. I haven't overlanded YET, but when my son says he wants to do it, I will certainly go ALL IN as y'all did. Thank you for introducing us to this great adventure!
This movie started playing when I fell asleep watching something else. Can’t believe how lucky I got to happen across it. It instantly sucked me in. I had to go back and watch the beginning I missed. Such an interesting journey and so we’ll put together for us to see. Thank you.
Excellent video and amazing storytelling. Unlike pretty much every overlanding channel, your narration is refreshingly unfiltered and it’s obvious you speak from the heart. Keep it up.
I love this movie. You covered so much. History and food. Family and friends. You’ve helped me inspire my wife for us to take the journey to go overlanding. But further. I’ve never wanted to go to Idaho. You definitely changed that for me. Thank you for this whole experience.
Found this vid around 11:30 on a Sunday night. 1:45 am now. Thanks Will :) First video of yours I have watched and I am impressed. A delightful tale from front to back. I’ve done the Salmon Valley and Lolo Pass on my Harley, but not the Overland route. Spectacular episode! Well done Sir.
@@Venture2Roam As a subscriber to The Story Till Now, I giggled when I saw it was Shaun who was the villain that offered the Clamato to your friend. I think his videos are truly some of the very best edited videos on RUclips. Yours was on par with his. Btw, you need to add vodka or gin to the Clamato to make it a Caesar. Then it works. :)
@@kaiserman6667 It's safe to say I'm not going to drink Clamato juice again unless one of my Canadian buddies makes me a Caesar. 😝Shaun is a friend and an inspiration. Not only because he makes awesome vids..but because he make more adventure videos in two months than some channels make in a year. Super flattered you mentioned me in the same sentence!
@@Venture2Roam Just keep doing what you do. The rest all falls into place. I live not far from Shaun and he is frequently in my town but have yet to meet him. Thanks for the conversation. I can’t even imagine the time it took to create this video and others like it. 100% class act. Why I watch RUclips.
@@jonnytacooutdoors Right on! Kevin is a very cool dude. We're putting together a video right now..he's been in on couple collab vids on this channel and knocked it out of the park every time.
man, what a great movie. I like the movie over the episodes format. I bet it's nice to relive these memories of your epic summer. especially now that it's getting cold and snowing decently. thanks for sharing will. looking forward to your next adventures
Thanks Jason. It was an awesome challenge putting this together in both series and feature formats. I always thought of it as one long movie...I was just texting Chris about having a watch party with him lol.
Dude, so inspiring. Can't thank you enough for the work to make this movie and to share this adventure. I'll add the Idaho BDR to my bucket list. Can't wait to see more from your trips and can't wait for later this summer when my popup camper is being built and I am ready to hit the road. Thank you 🙂
🙌 Thank you. As a native Idahoan myself..it was an incredible experience to drive this great state on backroads...I need to go back and do it again...but maybe take a slightly different path.
This video is EPIC, the videography, live talk with the commentating over it and also the conversation on the GMRS is really incredible. You have done such a great job showing what overlanding can be while at the same time showing the vulnerability you must have to nature and mother nature. This should be a 500k subscriber channel. Please keep them coming. Well done
Thank you! That's super high praise, and it's really motivating to hear. I'm just finishing up an Oregon series that will become a feature film as well, the final vid premieres tonight at 7:30pm. Here's the first two (ruclips.net/p/PLv4WOiu-rUDAJKFspwz0p_oECb2JyK77y). Thanks again...500K Let's GO!!!!
Unbelievable, Epic, Life Memories etc These are just a few words that entered my mind while watching this documentary. You have hit this one out of the park. I’m just getting into overlanding and don’t know a thing about it and this film was by far the absolute best overlanding video I have ever watched on RUclips or in a movie theater. BDR needs to hire you to be their film expert. Great job
As a northern Idaho resident and Jeep owner, thank you! You have done an amazing job of showing the trails and appreciating nature and the local history and attractions. Thank you! I did the Magruder Corridor, and I am now looking forward to doing this!
Very enjoyable to watch some epic touring!! Spectacular scenery there and that Burton hub lookout was just wow! Very cool to see some USA outback 😁 it kinda reminds me of the Victorian high country here in Australia but bigger 👌👍😎 Nicely filmed and easy to watch great job guys 👍
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. I'd love to get out to Australia someday...definitely a bucket list item for me. Really appreciate the comment. Cheers!
Thanks for all the time and effort it took in creating this masterpiece, always great to come back and revisit this and get inspired for future overlanding trips.
Thanks for taking me/us along on this epic adventure! I grew up near Jarbidge where my mom used to play for dances there and now I'm living the dream in North Idaho near Wallace. Spectacular video!
Wow! My son sent this video to me. We are already talking about doing this trip next year. Thanks for a fantastic movie. It’s like we were right there with you. ❤
This is super cool. I'm 50, born in Idaho, lived in Idaho about 3/4 of my life, live here now, try and see as much of its wilderness as I can. I haven't even scratched the surface. Even in heavier travelled parts of Idaho around population centers I've been to all over the state someone will tell me a spot really close that I not only haven't been to but have never heard of.
Thank you!! Just finishing up my Oregon film, the series is out now...the film probably in a few months. ruclips.net/p/PLv4WOiu-rUDAJKFspwz0p_oECb2JyK77y
I've watched the latest instalment of this great series, and am making my back in time, discovering amazing aventures you had Will. Bravo! it seems that your passion for this type of project didn"t falter, luckily for us. Your talent, work ethic are remarkable, you made the right choice making it your career because you're made for it.
Was born in the town right next to Wallace. Moved away in '78. Never new about the fire you talked about from 1910. Now it makes me want to go see.. Thanks for sharing
Man, what a great journey. We will have to add that to one of our future to dos when we are put in that area. We just finished a 3 month trip where we left NW Georgia and headed to Ouray, Co. Then followed the continental divide trail north through wyoming and montana until we hit the Canadian border. We ended up going north from their to the Arctic and to alaska after tuktoyatuk. Then back down the stewart cassiar through washington and oregon to moab. I am glad my wife joined me with our two dogs as well. It was an epic journey as well, a once in a lifetime. We nowlan to do another 3 monther south on the continetal divide down into baja to cabo san lucas. We met Rob out at o erland Expo West when he interviewed us for our gladiator build and veteran project this past year. We did talk a little about our trip and think je was just stating to get his tundra built. I think it's great you guys get out. We need to do the same with some folks on my side and complete some of the rooutes down here in the southern portion of the Appalachian Mountains. Anyways, great trip. I really enjoyed the movie. We need to get motivated and start to post all our videos from our trip. Just wish i had had more help filming, so it's hard to do, drive, and film all by yourself.
Captivated by world 3526's G-rated Ryan Reynolds narration and love the addition of the radio chatter, the videography is cool too. The closest we have to the land you are travelling in the UK is Scotland so we will never see the sights you are seeing, thank you for documenting it and letting us join your road trip, it's nice to see a family overland video rather than the "We are hardcore" crew.
I drove the Lolo from Lochsa north the weekend before you did. My goal was to clear as much of the road as I could over the weekend. You probably noticed that the trees were mostly clear the first half of the Lolo. That’s where I had to stop cutting. I stopped counting at 250 trees. Sorry I missed that first overhanging limb. My Jeep is a bit shorter then yours are and I was by myself so I opted to leave it since motorcycles would have been well below it. Me and a buddy also cleared from Blue Cabin to Avery of trees over 5 weekends as snow thawed. We worked from north to south on that section. Awesome movie, I appreciate all the hard work you out into this. Thank you!
You were doing God’s work. From all of us who drove those roads THANK YOU!! Next campfire I’m making a toast to you guys. Awesome work. Much appreciated.
Just recently bought a Rubicon and then I found this video. We live in Boise too. Ready to explore our amazing, beautiful Idahome. It’s a sign. I am supposed to do this, I know it. Absolutely love this video, and the production quality is top notch.
This was amazing! I cannot wait to try an overland trip myself with my friends and husband!! Thank you for sharing your adventure! I loved every second of this awesome movie you guys made!!
Dude SUCH an amazing job on this! You did a great job challenging the normal wash and rinse video structure of drive, make a meal, outro. You captured the comradery you build with the people you have adventures with, the vastness of the backcountry and the challenges it brings, and the drive for exploration. You nailed this!
Will, this was just incredible. I've done the IDBDR 2x, both on 2 wheels and on 4. Your footage and editing was epic. I love that you didn't cut it too short and I love that you included radio comm. You have insane talent in putting this all together. I really enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you!
What an amazing compliment!! I take it to heart coming from someone who has done the BDR….twice! Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it. Hoping to make more like this in 2023.
WOW! i just found your channel. I am out of my mind when it comes to the outdoors and I have got to tell you, I watch a ton of these adventures. This was one of the best I've seen. Ive hiked and camped in the LOLO and Bitteroots. You cant help but fall in love with all there is to take in. Absolutely beautiful country. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure that included your family and and buddies..I don't think it gets any better than that. Your one lucky guy to live the dream!
Fantastic!!! Wonderfull!!! Big job, specialy with the all family enjoiyng. Thank you for the wonderfull and fantastic movie...ops ..videos and this travel. Without words, I would like to be on this adventure with this team! Fantastic, congratulations, well done.
Wow beautiful footage….brings back a lot of memories of the northern Idaho area, especially around Avery and Wallace. The house at the Polaski trail head is where I spent a lot my younger years growing up. I used to know that area like the back of my hand as we spent quit a bit of time in the woods around there exploring.
What a fantastic video. Your camera, drone and narration skills are outstanding...and I loved seeing more of my home state...places I never got to when I lived there. I'm so glad I found your channel and I really enjoy your work. My wife and I watched this in one sitting and were blown away. She's from Glenns Ferry, I was born in Caldwell. Thanks for such a great tour. And, I enjoyed the music, especially at Burnt Knob. Well done!
Thank you so much! I’m so impressed you watched it in one sitting. I went to college (and met Kate) in Caldwell, and we’re out there all the time. Cheers!
@@Venture2Roam that's (mostly) good 🙃 Q: Would you be able to do a video on the equipment that you used on this trip ie Roof top tent, drone, phone, cool stove (that you made the ribs on 😋) etc.?
@24:22 I stopped by at this same spot when we had a lil back road trip from Arrowrock dam to middle fork river and exit out to Idaho city. Beautiful spot.
I’m getting ready to do the white rim trail in Utah, so I’ve been watching a lot of videos on different off-road, terrain. My attention span is very short and usually only watch parts of videos. I actually could not get enough of your movie and watch the entire thing.The movie had just the right amount of information about the roads, terrain, campsites, and more. I would definitely like to do this road one day. so I thank you for sharing your experience in making such a quality movie, hope to run into you one day on the trails.
What an awesome comment and compliment. Thank you so much. I'm hoping to make more content like this (longer journeys) as my channel grows. So glad you enjoyed the film. More coming soon!!
Wowee! I have family in different parts of ID. You guys threaded your way through them. I loved seeing all of that back country. Thank you so much for sharing! And, thank you for putting out that camp fire, and I really felt your pain when you lost your drone and phone, and drive shaft. I, too, have lost a drive shaft, but it wasn't nearly as spectacular. I am looking forward to more videos. 😊😁
Great video. I really enjoyed the longer video. I don’t have a keep but wanting a gladiator over my 2018 4x4 ram. It’s inspiring to see the outdoors of Idaho, etc. COOL!
@@Venture2Roam ID has always been on my list. I was born in MTN Home and still have family there and near Boise but there is a ton of ID I still need to see. Maybe next yr or so I can take 2 weeks and come up to ID for some camping and overlanding. Maybe we can meet up and you can show me around a little?
Thank you! I loved Wallace. We have to go back there with Kate and Eljse. That whole area is a blessed place. I wish we had more time to film it on this trip, but losing my cameras and removing my drive shaft kind of sucked up all of the time we had there.
This was easily one of the best overland movies I’ve ever watched. People don’t understand how much work goes into all this filming and editing and narrating, plus the real time dialogue captures. And it really highlights some of Idaho’s wonder!!!

@@jonnytacooutdoors Right on! Kevin is a very cool dude. We're putting together a video right now..he's been in on couple collab vids on this channel and knocked it out of the park every time.
@@Venture2Roam both your guys editing and videography is inspiring!
man, what a great movie. I like the movie over the episodes format. I bet it's nice to relive these memories of your epic summer. especially now that it's getting cold and snowing decently. thanks for sharing will. looking forward to your next adventures
Thanks Jason. It was an awesome challenge putting this together in both series and feature formats. I always thought of it as one long movie...I was just texting Chris about having a watch party with him lol.
All my favorite Idahome places, and many I’ve never seen. Amazing movie! Thank you for sharing it.
Thank YOU for watching. So glad you enjoyed it!
G'day guys. I'm Australian and AM totally enjoying your video. Gorgeous scenery
Thank you so much! Hop to make it over there someday.
I think it would be great if we could somehow help Aussie's enjoy the same 2A rights we have.
Great video keep these coming😊
Thank you. Lots more coming soon!
This was such an awesome film. As someone who loves the outdoors and nature, you did a great job capturing everything!
Thank you so much!!!
Dude, so inspiring. Can't thank you enough for the work to make this movie and to share this adventure. I'll add the Idaho BDR to my bucket list. Can't wait to see more from your trips and can't wait for later this summer when my popup camper is being built and I am ready to hit the road. Thank you 🙂
So glad you liked it! This adventure was near and dear to my heart as I'm a native Idahoan..hoping to make more vids like this one soon!
Wow what an amazing adventure,great video , great tunes and amazing views !!👏👏👏👏
I absolutely enjoyed every minute. Of your trip. Thanks for sharing. I saw things I would never see otherwise.
Right on! So glad you enjoyed it!!
As a native Idahoan, I have also enjoyed some of these same remote roads. It was good to see your great adventure. Thanks for filming and sharing it.
🙌 Thank you. As a native Idahoan myself..it was an incredible experience to drive this great state on backroads...I need to go back and do it again...but maybe take a slightly different path.
Great Job!! I have done chunks of several BDRs including Idaho. You did a nice job of capturing it.
Thank you! Hoping to do more BDRs soon!
All those episodes came together nicely! There were enough extras added to keep me on my toes! Great job Willis! Your best yet!!!
Thanks Bro. Can't wait for more adventures with you.
This video is EPIC, the videography, live talk with the commentating over it and also the conversation on the GMRS is really incredible. You have done such a great job showing what overlanding can be while at the same time showing the vulnerability you must have to nature and mother nature. This should be a 500k subscriber channel. Please keep them coming. Well done
Thank you! That's super high praise, and it's really motivating to hear. I'm just finishing up an Oregon series that will become a feature film as well, the final vid premieres tonight at 7:30pm. Here's the first two (ruclips.net/p/PLv4WOiu-rUDAJKFspwz0p_oECb2JyK77y). Thanks again...500K Let's GO!!!!
Unbelievable, Epic, Life Memories etc
These are just a few words that entered my mind while watching this documentary. You have hit this one out of the park. I’m just getting into overlanding and don’t know a thing about it and this film was by far the absolute best overlanding video I have ever watched on RUclips or in a movie theater.
BDR needs to hire you to be their film expert. Great job
That’s like the nicest comment I think I’ve ever received. Thank you! Made my day.
@@Venture2Roam I can’t imagine the number of hours it took to edit that video
@@RaptorPackAdventures it was a ton…but I loved reliving it.
❤ Loved it! Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
So glad you enjoyed it!!! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Top notch, glad I found this channel.
Thank you!! So glad you found us too.
Loved this movie guys , grew up in Twin Falls , moved to Alaska then Oregon , now Washington … have to say Idaho never disappoints … thank you 👍
Right on. Like you I grew up in Idaho, then moved away...but got to move back and I love it so much more the second time around!
As a northern Idaho resident and Jeep owner, thank you! You have done an amazing job of showing the trails and appreciating nature and the local history and attractions. Thank you! I did the Magruder Corridor, and I am now looking forward to doing this!
Thank you so much! I need to spend more time with exploring Northern Idaho..it blew me away..and there’s sooo much cool history up there too. Cheers!
Very enjoyable to watch some epic touring!!
Spectacular scenery there and that Burton hub lookout was just wow!
Very cool to see some USA outback 😁 it kinda reminds me of the Victorian high country here in Australia but bigger 👌👍😎
Nicely filmed and easy to watch great job guys 👍
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. I'd love to get out to Australia someday...definitely a bucket list item for me. Really appreciate the comment. Cheers!
Thanks for all the time and effort it took in creating this masterpiece, always great to come back and revisit this and get inspired for future overlanding trips.
It's really cool to hear you have watched it more than once. Putting together more big trip vids like this one soon!
Thanks for taking me/us along on this epic adventure! I grew up near Jarbidge where my mom used to play for dances there and now I'm living the dream in North Idaho near Wallace. Spectacular video!
So glad you enjoyed it! Both Jarbidge and Wallace were two of my most favorite places on that trip. Cheers!
I watched it all. Great Video!!👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
So cool you watched the whole thing!! I really appreciate it.
Well this is the best thing I’ve watched since the last episode was of Yellowstone! Well done!
I take that as very high praise. Thank you!
Thank you for the sacrifices and the excellent production. 😊
It was a heck of an adventure. Thanks for watching!
Wow! My son sent this video to me. We are already talking about doing this trip next year. Thanks for a fantastic movie. It’s like we were right there with you. ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words. You’ll love the Idaho BDR. Happy trails.
This is super cool. I'm 50, born in Idaho, lived in Idaho about 3/4 of my life, live here now, try and see as much of its wilderness as I can. I haven't even scratched the surface. Even in heavier travelled parts of Idaho around population centers I've been to all over the state someone will tell me a spot really close that I not only haven't been to but have never heard of.
I agree. As someone born and raised here, it seems endless…in the best possible way.
The drone footage is what really makes this. I can’t imagine how many times you guys have to stop and set up another shot. Really nice
It was a lot of work, but a ton of fun.
Congratulations. Thank you for showing how beautiful our country is and there is so much more to see.
So glad you liked it!!
This was such an awesome film.
Thank you!! Just finishing up my Oregon film, the series is out now...the film probably in a few months. ruclips.net/p/PLv4WOiu-rUDAJKFspwz0p_oECb2JyK77y
I've watched the latest instalment of this great series, and am making my back in time, discovering amazing aventures you had Will. Bravo! it seems that your passion for this type of project didn"t falter, luckily for us. Your talent, work ethic are remarkable, you made the right choice making it your career because you're made for it.
Thank you so much. It's comments like this that keep inspiring me to keep making videos. It means a lot, thank you.
Was born in the town right next to Wallace. Moved away in '78. Never new about the fire you talked about from 1910. Now it makes me want to go see.. Thanks for sharing
I love Wallace! That fire was absolutely crazy. I want to do a whole episode on it.
What an incredible , inspiring two hours.
So glad you liked it!!
Man, what a great journey. We will have to add that to one of our future to dos when we are put in that area. We just finished a 3 month trip where we left NW Georgia and headed to Ouray, Co. Then followed the continental divide trail north through wyoming and montana until we hit the Canadian border. We ended up going north from their to the Arctic and to alaska after tuktoyatuk. Then back down the stewart cassiar through washington and oregon to moab. I am glad my wife joined me with our two dogs as well. It was an epic journey as well, a once in a lifetime. We nowlan to do another 3 monther south on the continetal divide down into baja to cabo san lucas. We met Rob out at o erland Expo West when he interviewed us for our gladiator build and veteran project this past year. We did talk a little about our trip and think je was just stating to get his tundra built. I think it's great you guys get out. We need to do the same with some folks on my side and complete some of the rooutes down here in the southern portion of the Appalachian Mountains. Anyways, great trip. I really enjoyed the movie. We need to get motivated and start to post all our videos from our trip. Just wish i had had more help filming, so it's hard to do, drive, and film all by yourself.
Thank you! Wow..sounds like you've had an incredible journey or two yourself! Can't wait to see the vids.
Captivated by world 3526's G-rated Ryan Reynolds narration and love the addition of the radio chatter, the videography is cool too.
The closest we have to the land you are travelling in the UK is Scotland so we will never see the sights you are seeing, thank you for documenting it and letting us join your road trip, it's nice to see a family overland video rather than the "We are hardcore" crew.
Thank you. I'd LOVE to get over there and overland the UK. I know it's quite different, but it's so beautiful over there.
I drove the Lolo from Lochsa north the weekend before you did. My goal was to clear as much of the road as I could over the weekend. You probably noticed that the trees were mostly clear the first half of the Lolo. That’s where I had to stop cutting. I stopped counting at 250 trees. Sorry I missed that first overhanging limb. My Jeep is a bit shorter then yours are and I was by myself so I opted to leave it since motorcycles would have been well below it. Me and a buddy also cleared from Blue Cabin to Avery of trees over 5 weekends as snow thawed. We worked from north to south on that section. Awesome movie, I appreciate all the hard work you out into this. Thank you!
You were doing God’s work. From all of us who drove those roads THANK YOU!! Next campfire I’m making a toast to you guys. Awesome work. Much appreciated.
Get well soon bud. Love your channel and thanks for being our voice.
We love this shit too.
Future trails…
Great adventure - big cinema! I like the way you present it.
Thank you!
Just recently bought a Rubicon and then I found this video. We live in Boise too. Ready to explore our amazing, beautiful Idahome.
It’s a sign. I am supposed to do this, I know it.
Absolutely love this video, and the production quality is top notch.
You are going to have a blast doing this route!
Outstanding job. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. cheers, lefty
Thank you so much. So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
This was amazing! I cannot wait to try an overland trip myself with my friends and husband!! Thank you for sharing your adventure! I loved every second of this awesome movie you guys made!!
So glad you enjoyed. Hope you have a blast getting out there!!!
Dude SUCH an amazing job on this!
You did a great job challenging the normal wash and rinse video structure of drive, make a meal, outro. You captured the comradery you build with the people you have adventures with, the vastness of the backcountry and the challenges it brings, and the drive for exploration.
You nailed this!
Thank you so much!!! I loved making this video..hope to make many more like it.
Will, this was just incredible. I've done the IDBDR 2x, both on 2 wheels and on 4. Your footage and editing was epic. I love that you didn't cut it too short and I love that you included radio comm. You have insane talent in putting this all together. I really enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you!
What an amazing compliment!! I take it to heart coming from someone who has done the BDR….twice! Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it. Hoping to make more like this in 2023.
WOW! i just found your channel. I am out of my mind when it comes to the outdoors and I have got to tell you, I watch a ton of these adventures. This was one of the best I've seen. Ive hiked and camped in the LOLO and Bitteroots. You cant help but fall in love with all there is to take in. Absolutely beautiful country. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure that included your family and and buddies..I don't think it gets any better than that. Your one lucky guy to live the dream!
Thank you so much! I do feel lucky…Idaho is so amazing. Also lucky that my video is seen and liked so much..so thank you for sending this comment!
Such an excellent idea! The fire/lumber roads in North Idaho are crazy. You could have another movie just up there!
I totally agree. I really want to go back up there and explore more!
Great job on producing an amazing video. I loved every minute of it. Thanks for sharing this with us all!!
So glad you enjoyed it!! Lots more coming soon.
Thanks for this video. You're a great storyteller. I can't wait to visit Idaho someday.
So glad you liked it!! Thanks for leaving such a nice comment.
Wow this was awesome. I stayed up past my bedtime cause I had to finish it. Thank you for sharing this amazing trip with us!
Awesome. So glad you liked it. We just released our Oregon Movie, and I’m working on Nevada right now.
Incredible and inspirational!!! Great work everyone. 👏 👏👏
Thank you so much. So glad you enjoyed it!!
Amazing video! Enjoyed every second of it 👍🏼
Thank you!!!
This was one of the BEST and best MADE overland videos I’ve seen! GREAT adventure! GREAT video guys! Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic!!! Wonderfull!!! Big job, specialy with the all family enjoiyng. Thank you for the wonderfull and fantastic movie...ops ..videos and this travel. Without words, I would like to be on this adventure with this team! Fantastic, congratulations, well done.
Thank you so much! Hoping to make more like this in 2023!
Grate video, and thank you for sharing it. That looks so fun.
Thanks for watching!! It was a blast.
Wow beautiful footage….brings back a lot of memories of the northern Idaho area, especially around Avery and Wallace. The house at the Polaski trail head is where I spent a lot my younger years growing up. I used to know that area like the back of my hand as we spent quit a bit of time in the woods around there exploring.
So cool to hear. Thanks for the nice note!!!
Outstanding video - it has motivated me to do my big trip in August!! Thank you for the work you put in.
Thank you! Enjoy the trip in August!!!
Great video guys…you just put another trip on my bucket list.
Glad you enjoyed the video! It’s a really great route.
When I checked I thought you would be close to a million subs based on the quality, excellent work!
That's a huge compliment, thank you! One subscriber at a time!!!!!!
Wow man what a unique adventure showing just how capable your Overland rig is .
thanks for watching!!
What a fantastic video. Your camera, drone and narration skills are outstanding...and I loved seeing more of my home state...places I never got to when I lived there. I'm so glad I found your channel and I really enjoy your work. My wife and I watched this in one sitting and were blown away. She's from Glenns Ferry, I was born in Caldwell. Thanks for such a great tour. And, I enjoyed the music, especially at Burnt Knob. Well done!
Thank you so much! I’m so impressed you watched it in one sitting. I went to college (and met Kate) in Caldwell, and we’re out there all the time. Cheers!
DUDE! THAT WAS SOOO COOL! Thank you for sharing your adventure! Idaho is more beautiful than I knew! And the roads were lovely 🤣
"luuuuuvli" :) So glad you liked it, thanks for giving it a watch and dropping a comment!!!
Wow. Been in Idaho my whole life. Saw some stuff I knew about. A lot I didn’t. Great film this is a gem.
So cool to hear from a local that you liked this film. Cheers!
What an amazing adventure. You do an amazing job narrating the adventure 👏
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Nicely done. Congratulations and thank you for sharing. Enjoyed every minute of it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!! So glad to hear you enjoyed it. I really appreciate the comment!
WOW! What a FABULOUSLY AWESOME adventure and video ! I learned so much about the history and beauty of Idaho, Kudos !! and thanks for sharing !!!😍
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!! Much more coming soon.
Yur welcome! Sorry about your drone and phone :(
@@pattyprepper3827 me too. I had insurance on everything but the phone 🙄
@@Venture2Roam that's (mostly) good 🙃
Q: Would you be able to do a video on the equipment that you used on this trip ie Roof top tent, drone, phone, cool stove (that you made the ribs on 😋) etc.?
Thanks for the adventure and the history lesson. Very interesting keep up the good work.
Thank you! So glad you liked it. More coming soon!
@24:22 I stopped by at this same spot when we had a lil back road trip from Arrowrock dam to middle fork river and exit out to Idaho city. Beautiful spot.
Ya I love that spot. We've camped there before and it was really cool...what a great lookout. Cheers!
I’m getting ready to do the white rim trail in Utah, so I’ve been watching a lot of videos on different off-road, terrain. My attention span is very short and usually only watch parts of videos. I actually could not get enough of your movie and watch the entire thing.The movie had just the right amount of information about the roads, terrain, campsites, and more. I would definitely like to do this road one day. so I thank you for sharing your experience in making such a quality movie, hope to run into you one day on the trails.
What an awesome comment and compliment. Thank you so much. I'm hoping to make more content like this (longer journeys) as my channel grows. So glad you enjoyed the film. More coming soon!!
Wowee! I have family in different parts of ID. You guys threaded your way through them. I loved seeing all of that back country. Thank you so much for sharing! And, thank you for putting out that camp fire, and I really felt your pain when you lost your drone and phone, and drive shaft. I, too, have lost a drive shaft, but it wasn't nearly as spectacular. I am looking forward to more videos. 😊😁
So glad you enjoyed it. Lots of videos coming soon!!!
I enjoyed watching your video. It looks like ya'll had a great adventure.
Thank you! It was amazing. More coming soon!
Great video. I really enjoyed the longer video. I don’t have a keep but wanting a gladiator over my 2018 4x4 ram. It’s inspiring to see the outdoors of Idaho, etc. COOL!
Jeep! Not keep!
Thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed seeing Idaho through our lens.
Epic Trip. I finished the AZBDR in 2022 and I've solidified the IDBDR in on my bucket list.
I'd love to do the AZBDR at some point. Glad to see Idaho's on your list now!! Thanks for taking the time to watch.
@@Venture2Roam ID has always been on my list. I was born in MTN Home and still have family there and near Boise but there is a ton of ID I still need to see. Maybe next yr or so I can take 2 weeks and come up to ID for some camping and overlanding. Maybe we can meet up and you can show me around a little?
Great film there is a lot of country to see when you get away from the concrete jungle looking forward to more videos.
Thank you!! Lots more coming soon!
What a great video, especially love the history in those mountains!
Thanks Ian. The history is one of my favorite things.
I grew up outside of Wallace between Sunset Peak and the mountain next door. Awesome video!
Thank you! I loved Wallace. We have to go back there with Kate and Eljse. That whole area is a blessed place. I wish we had more time to film it on this trip, but losing my cameras and removing my drive shaft kind of sucked up all of the time we had there.
