Hopefully it’s for the KOAR event and we see you there! We are currently on our way to Copper Harbor. 👍 Sorry, for the late reply, RUclips stoped notifying us of comments.
@@NarrowRoadAdventures My latest video "Copper Harbor Michigan, Where the Road Ends and Adventure Begins" is live on RUclips. Please check it out. It is from the trip my son Bryce and I took the end of August. The videography is set to my daughter Aspen's original song "Sunrise." ruclips.net/video/rVAj6hxEC94/видео.html
To expand on the orv stickers: Michigan Street licensed (license plates) vehicle doesn't need stickers to go on orv routes. There are a few special areas like scrambles, dunes, etc that need the stickers but iirc There are 10 or so in the state. The majority of places you can legally drive a truck off road you don't need stickers. There are about 6000 miles of orv routes alone that are open without stickers. They're mostly in the UP with some in the northern Lower Penn. For example, the MCCT trail sign you put in the video is in Petoskey/ Emmett County, Antrim, and Cheboygan County which are just south of the bridge
This is good info. Thanks for adding this clarification. I came to know these details after having made the video. I think it’s good that if people choose to buy the ORV tags it helps chip in to better preserve the trails we enjoy. Happy trails!
Very nice and great advice! There is almost too much to do in the UP. I've got a trip planned in mid-September for the Michigan Overland group to coincide with the Keeweenaw Overland Adventure Rally. Most of the trip is going to be to hit some spots I haven't personally seen yet. And good call on the state bird(s), I've been up during mid-July and it was horrible all day and night. Love the videos, keep up the great work. Nick @ Michigan Overland
Nick C Howell Sounds like an awesome trip! Hope the mosquitos & flies aren't too bad for ya. I haven't heard of the Keweenaw Rally, I'm curious so I'll have to look it up. Thanks for checking out my videos and for the kind words. This weekend I'm heading down to Kentucky to join the KY Overland group for a weekend run. Hope to join your group for an event one of these days. 👍
I would be interested to hear from you like coming from East to West, what is best way to route like North or South to back to back. We are planning start there from main land of MI do exploration about week long., than land at cabin in Bayfield WI for few days before heading back to VA. Another question from Detroit to Peninsula about 300 miles, so what is better find camp at main land or cross a bridge and find there. I was hoping to travel most during day time.
Now I get the mosquito net !! LOL LOL ...Very good advices !! Just wich I could go there and explore your country !! Loved that wall of yours !! The Jeep front grill is beautiful !! Man, that talk about bears really puts things in perspective, LOL LOL ... The biggest dangers we have in Portugal are wild boars and bugs (Ticks and mosquitos), and they hurt like hell, LOL LOL LOL ... Loved to ear your explanations !! How much for a night in those National Parks? Do you need any kind of license to go there, or it's just a payed entrance?You know, a lot of people from other countries watch American and/or Canadian Channels, and no one has ever made a video about using those Parks. The costs, the entrance, how to use them, can we do fires, do we have to take our own firewood? How long can we stay there? Things like that !! It doesn't mean that tomorrow I'll take the next plane, and go there, but would really help us to understand how do you manage things in your country !! Thanks in advance !! Cheers
Thank you again for your positive feed back and kind words. Those are very good questions and maybe I will have to make a video explaining some more on park details. I would have to do some research to be sure I am correct in what I say as it relates to all of the USA and what only pertains to the state of Michigan. There are both National Forests & State Forest in Michigan as well as most states. The National Forest laws should all be the same no-mater what state they are in but may have a few rules that specific to some special locations. State Forest laws will vary state to state. Generally, National Forest do not have a gate or physical boundary nor do they have an entrance cost. Within some forests (both state & national) they may also have a park which may have an entrance cost. Fire laws very from forest to forest, most allow you to use dead or down trees as firewood, transportation of firewood is usually not permitted due to limit transportation of diseases and bugs. You can stay as long as you'd like but cannot stay in one place for longer than 14-16 days (varies) and there is a limit to the size of group in one location, usually around 10 people but can vary. These rules are all to prevent people form making a place their home and limit wear to the location. To many people's surprise, often there is private land that has been bought within the greater border of the forests (as explained in the video). There are some "wilderness" areas that is strictly public primitive areas. I have backpacked in a wilderness area in Kentucky and no form of motor is permitted within it, even the forest service that clears trails must only travel by foot or horse and clear trails with a manual saw not a chainsaw. ...I guess I do know more than I thought. I may have to do a little research and make a video. Thanks for the suggestion, hope this answers your questions! Cheers!
Man, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to answer, and in a so detailed way !! YES, now I have some (a lot) knowledge about the subject. This was great, I didn't know there was a diference between National and state forest. Makes sense. And the rest too ... man, I feel so humble before you guys ... you know how to do stuff and how to take care of things. That way, everybody enjoys it !! NICE !! Many thanks !! Maybe you'll make a video about, and a lot of people will apreciate it! Cheers
it's either called the Lower Peninsula or Down Below, not "Main Michigan". Other than that decent video. I agree about taking more time, it's just way too much ground to cover in a few days. Do it in sections, with a plan of what you want to to do.
I'm enjoying your channel! Lots of great information. the only thing I would add for the u.p. And most of northern Michigan is make sure you get your gas before 9 pm local time everything usually closes around or before then. As a Michigan native and someone that enjoys overlanding northern MI I'm glad to see others starting to enjoy and share it with others. Michigan has a lot of beautiful places and Orv trails to see. I don't think people realize how big it is. Been traveling around MI for about 10 years now and still haven't hit all the trails or spots I want. Great work keep it up! What's your Instagram?

Just subscribed. I've already used a few of your videos to help with my research for my journey there. Thank for sharing!👍
Glad you’re finding them helpful! Let us know if you have any questions. Enjoy your trip. The UP is beautiful!
Michigan trails are so under rated!
Keep up the good videos. Thanks for the advice.
Always a learning curve :)

Sometimes the right words don’t come in a one-take. I guess “Main Michigan” would be offensive to UPers. 😆 Thanks for watching.
