Two Subaru Foresters at Boggs Mountain

- While in California for a family event, I find myself with a few hours to spare. As luck would have it, my lodging in Cobb is just minutes away from Boggs Mountain, a small peak intertwined with a network of dirt roads. My friend Rob who lives in the Bay Area joins me in the exploration.

Ahaha exploring real quick before the wedding, that's the spirit 👊
That was another great video! And it's always a pleasure to see some other subies out there! 🙏
Thanks Jordan! Most weddings in the U.S. aren't quite the same caliber of party they are in France so I had to get a little extra fun in somehow after traveling that far (about 9 hours of driving to get there).
Looks like an awesome trip. Great video as always. Loved the bug commentary.
Thanks Mike!
What a great way to spend a morning. Thanks!
I love the content sir. Your sense of humor is refreshing. I also like the narration on the sites you visit. I loved in Portland for a year and had to move back to Cali for work but hope to get back to the PNW soon. Also a forester owner and looking to do some mods to it now that's its got 3 years on it. I love the way the 1" lift looks. I don't want any of the issues that come with the 2" lift. Your rig looks great. Like the DIY rack as well. Keep it coming!

Thank you! Good luck with the build!
Another great video! Looks like a beautiful area to explore! Thanks so much for the effort you put into these videos.
Thanks Dan! It definitely takes some work but I'm enjoying putting them together!
Great camera work/edits as always. Good job!
Thank you sir!
Following ur work from India 🇮🇳
Thank you for watching! 8^)
I see you were in my backyard. We used to have an annual hammock hang yearly at Boggs, until the fire. Enjoyed your video!
Thank you! What a lovely area all around (burned landscape aside). I don't get to California very often but I sure love it when I'm there. Thanks for watching!
Yet another great video. Loving the content!
Thank you!
I think sometimes burnt things make a more interesting trip. Opens up the terrain some so you can see things you would normally not see. Great job on the video! I saw no cattle guards though.... ;-) By the way chainsaw and window cleaner should be EDC! Look that one up.... See you on the trails, George.
EDC indeed. I should know that if I think I won't need it, I definitely will. I didn't bring it along on the Alvord trip either...I mean, there's virtually no trees. But then our plans changed and during our final day up in Malheur National Forest, guess what...yep. I'll never leave it home again!
Excellent documentary of the adventure. That's a lot of bugs. It took me 2 road trips to Joshua Tree NP to get that many dead bugs on the front bumper during the desert bloom.
Haha, my bug-accumulation skill/lack of window-cleaning skill will again be on display in the next few upcoming adventures. Somehow I just don't even see it on the iPad when I'm recording with it...my near vision isn't fantastic so when I'm driving, the image on the iPad seems gloriously beautiful...until I review it later with my glasses on. LOL
Awesome. Love that SJ too!
It's a beast...like with everything, the video doesn't do it justice.
if you let the chains saw at home, an two-man saw with a length of 1 meter as plan b is a good option and you don't need patrol for it.
Amazing. Again. 😊
Thanks!
Great video as always. I’m not to far from here may have to go check it out soon. I’ll bring the chainsaw too 😁
Trail-clearing always appreciated! 8^) Thanks for watching!
Love the videos (and bugs)! Just got a 2019 Forester Sport and hope to do some softroading adventures. I am coming from a Wrangler Rubicon :0
The 2019 sure looks to be a nice car, congrats! Glad you liked the bugs, LOL. One of these days I'm going to remember to pack window-cleaning supplies with me, especially traveling in summer. Thanks for watching!
@@softroadingthewest Thanks! its no XT Foz but seems to do ok. I live just outside of Portland. Maybe we can meet up and have you show me the ropes.
Wow, sure has changed from the fire, I spent some time there in the mid 90s camping/4wheeling on Cobb at Boggs Mtn.
You need to share these videos on other platforms... great quality videos
Where did he get that winch bumper from....looks epic
It's a custom design from Stellar Built, a fabrication shop in California.
You're a poet! Great video...
Haha, any perceived poetry is purely unplanned serendipity. 8^D Thanks for watching!
Nice vid you've made! Following you from Russia
Sweet subys. Love your videos.
Did your friend seriously lock his doors in the middle of no where? 😂
Another great video!
Oh that was a smart move on his part. He had noticed how hungrily I was eyeing his Forester and understood the downed tree was a ruse to steal his car. Foiled again! 8^D
@@softroadingthewest what's so different about his from your ride?
Remote power door locks.
That beeping was because I took the key out of the car while it was still running. I never lock my doors offroad haha. Too afraid of accidentally locking my keys inside.
We logged Bogg Mtn after the fire. Neat area.
Ah no way, that's cool. I really enjoyed it up there. It comes across sort of barren looking in the video but the views were super nice, and I couldn't believe my luck that this area was just five minutes from the lodging I had rented. :-)
@@softroadingthewest I couldn't explore in the Peterbilt very well, so I only saw our job. I don't think I went 5 miles beyond the CalFire station up the hill from Cobb. I live up by Shasta Lake, so it's 4 hours or so away from me.
Hi There! I live in Quebec Canada, I just order a lift kit from Subie Lift Oz. I got a question about the right tires and wheels to put on my 2017 Forester. I order a 2" lift front and 2,5" rear. I got 17 " weels. What should I get 15" weels? Tire? Geolander ? or ALL terrain? WILDPEAK A/T3W de FALKEN. We will also put a skid plate under.
Je reste toujours impressionnés par ces arbres géants! Ca doit être encore plus impressionnant en vrai!
Le Foz de Rob a une préparation impressionnante!
Sinon, encore une fois, très sympa ces paysages! Enfin... De ce que j'en ai vu... Pas évident avec tous ces insectes éclatés! 😂😜
Haha! Les insectes sur le par-brise est un technique cinématique bien connu pour preserver un certain mystère! 8^D
@@softroadingthewest En prime, tu peux donner un aspect Starship troopers si besoin! 😂
That tree in the road should have been a sign from God haha. Nevertheless great video as usual.
Heres my shitty story from the last weekend:
I was on an offroad trip with the local Subie group. At meet-up a lifted 2014 AWD Rav4 showed up. The guy previously had an Impreza and decided to come with us with his new rig. I gotta admit the little Rav4 looked so good given those All terrains and the 2inch lift. Moreover it didnt get stuck! In fact it did better than the 2017 Outback which needed some help at one of the mud pits.
End of my shitty story.
Dont even know why I wrote it.
Peace out :3
My feeling is any AWD car with a lift, good AT tires, and smart, experienced driving has potential to shine on the trail. That someone did well with a RAV4 doesn't negate the legitimacy of owning a Subaru. I'd say, good for him, and good for you - sounds like a good trail buddy to have. Always nice to be out there with someone who knows how to drive their rig without getting stuck, regardless of what they drive. 8^)
Hello! what type of tires are you using on the blue subie ? Other question for the same subie did you also lift it ? I have the same that's why :)
Very nice video thank you !
Here are all the questions and answers about the blue Forester:

Let me know if I can answer further questions! :-)
@@softroadingthewest Iwill watch it in a couple of hours but thanks for the quick answer
Great video! Do you have an air compressor you recommend for bringing your tires back up to recommended PSI for pavement? I was considering using my floor standing bike pump.
I run a Viair 88p which works great for the size of tires I have. Larger tires may need a bigger compressor. I've never tried with a bike pump but I think that would quickly prove frustrating. It's one thing to get a couple of tiny bike tires to 60 psi but you'd have to move a pretty large volume of air to reinflate 4 car tires... As frugal as I am, $50 for a decent compressor has proven to be an excellent investment. :-)
@@softroadingthewest Thank you, that's good to know. I'll look into that.
How can I go to the big trees :) lol
What’s the name of that section if you don’t mind
That is the Redwoods State & National Park along the northern California coast just south of Crescent City. It's a lovely drive that cuts off from Hwy 101 then rejoins it, with countless trails to hike among the big trees. There's no cost to enter/use this park. You can also find giant trees at Sequoia National Park further south in California...I've not been to that one but I believe it's quite interesting to visit as well.
What are you using to air up? Looks like a pump connected to car battery
Viair 88p. Yes, connects directly to battery so as to not risk blowing fuses on the 12V plug circuits.
What kind of lift do you have on the Forester?
My Forester had the 1" (front) / 1.375" (rear) lift from ADF. I think Rob was running ADF's 2" lift.
i thought i was goona 😂
I personally find the narration,road and scenery more interesting than the music. Even though their does seem to be alot of dead stuff their.
There was a massive wildfire in this area some years ago, which is why it looks so barren. It was previously a well-forested mountain. Signs of life are slowly returning though. Thanks for watching!
@@softroadingthewest I hope all of that dead wood don't cause another. I find those wildfires and the damage they do to be a sad thing.
If only you could remove the music & keep the sound natural
I do understand some people prefer videos with no music, and some of my favorite channels use no music. But personally, I also really enjoy channels that do use music with their videos. I also simply enjoy the process of integrating music in my editing. It's an additional piece of the puzzle which I find rewarding, trying to musically capture a hint of the mood of the moment. While this particular video admittedly includes a higher than usual percentage of music, most of my videos include quite a few non-music segments. In any case thank you for watching and for the feedback, it is always appreciated. 8^)
Хоть бы препятствия какие-то нашли, хули там ехать с такой подготовкой... Там инвалидка проедет!
0:10 wtf why would you edit this
Not sure what you mean...the Oregon/slash/California thing? Up until this episode, all my videos started with a very similar intro which included the "Oregon Adventures" screen. So I ran my usual intro but cut to California since it wasn't an Oregon Adventure. Just being silly. I don't take anything I do here too seriously. :-)
@@softroadingthewest I mean the sound and the harsh cut with the black-white screen. I already noticed this in your forester build video where you explained your tire size and used this multiple times in a row. Really annoying when your watching relaxed and suddenly this comes up. Here in the intro its not that bad but in the middle of a relaxed explanation video... just sayin.
