Great video Ben - I like the new mapping visual aids you implemented. Videos keep getting better and better. We hope to go through some of this area next August... With a lot warmer temperatures I'm sure!
It was fun watching your video after doing this trail ourselves last Fall. We really enjoyed our trip and we appreciated having your guide to help navigate!
Wow! I haven't been up there since the fires! 😢 Quite a shock. Once upon a time I did a lot of camping all around up there. Unreal how little snow there is on Lassen and Shasta!
Sounds like you need to visit our website!! We’ve got tons of routes all over the West Coast and a few that run in and around Bend as well. Overlandtrailguides.com
Consider a Solo Stove instead of fire rings. It uses less wood and easy to cook on. We prefer the Bonfire model because the usual store bought firewood fits nicely inside so the stove takes only a little more room than just hauling the firewood. Better in windy conditions also.
I love the content you are making. However having to sign up for your website and then possibly pay to be able to see the route is stupid. You’re locking out a lot of traffic because of this. Some of your posts for Oregon are missing some essential information as well. Any of the “free” content you have posted still requires me to give my information. I understand you’re trying to make money, but if everyone who visits the website gets turned off by the things I mentioned there’s no potential for them being a customer. At least give us something that would make us want to pay. Spending 45 to 65 for map and poi info of unknown quality is just not happening. I’d have better luck stopping and asking locals for directions and spending the money on gas and food.
Hi @beekydogg, Perhaps you didn't see, but we offer the track-only version of the Lassen BDT for free. We offer this for many other well known tracks that are already in the public domain, such as the Plumas BDT, Pacific Crest Overland Route, and Mojave Road. So while you'll have to subscribe to gain access to our proprietary routes, there are quite a few that don't require any payment info. All you need to do is register with your email. Feel free to join our online community or FB group. Folks will tell you we have the most detailed GPX files in the biz.

Thanks!!
Nice work, it did not seem like a difficult trail, very scenic :)
On fire, now.
That guy with the flashing rear lights would drive me nuts if I was behind him . I know you must have mentioned it, but what time of year was this?
Hey, love your channel! We live in Ashland and want to head up to Bend for some Overland camping. Do you have any recommendations?

How does your friend with the Ranger find it handles with a camper? What camper is it and do you know about what it weighs?

Why does everyone bumper lock each other ? Eating other peoples dust doesn’t seem good for the environment churning up dust and vehicle air cleaners.
