I think I knew Oregon was gonna have a stormier climate ahead of filming this route, but the storm that caught us at the end of this episode definitely surprised me. All I can say is, tents/sleeping bags/camera gear/ etc.. are so much harder to get dry when you're out on the road lol. That camp site we found at the end was really lucky and I think if we didn't find it, it could have been a much colder night. Sometimes ya just get lucky though 🤙 As usual, thanks everyone for watching!

Mismanaged forests. Working forests are often thinned and cleared of undergrowth whereas forests left unmanaged accumulate excessive dead trees and other burnable material. Typically, trees are strong enough to withstand fires. That said, since there is so much burnable material currently, the fires burn too hot for trees to withstand. Forests that were thinned and had every couple trees or so cut, are healthier than those left to burn. Clearcutting is different and those create problematic monocultures. Thinning however is important.
I hear that. I mostly ride and camp in northern Idaho. Some of your footage looks quite similar to the Hayden Creek area. There was a massive fire in that area in the summer of 23. Parts of it look desolate and dead. I feel like we've been lucky in Northern Idaho. There are a lot of downed trees all over the place. It's a tinder box.
@@dealspeed6756 Oh yeah I have ridden a bit around there. Yeah it is super tragic when an area finally burns.. I am really curious for how things will be this year. Winter has not been as wet as I have hoped and its been pretty warm so far. I am hopeful the summer isn't too hot and dry because a second round of how this fire season was would be horrible.
I live near Coeur D Alene. We haven't had hardly any snow in the lower elevations. The mountains are doing pretty well despite that. I know, Schweitzer ski resort in Sandpoint has about 70 inches at the summit. Hopefully, February will be wetter. Me and my wife have been a little worried. We're really looking forward to a summer of camping and riding.
Yeah I am holding onto hope that February pulls through with some good snowfall too.. I think the upcoming season is going to be a good one as long as fire season doesn't show up early.
How long were you sitting filling up with water and your battery died? Planning on setting up my 650 with similar charging and map capabilities, just curious how long to not sit around 😅
Cool series man, I just love riding these adventures. A buddy and myself did the ORBDR this last August and we got hammered by storms from Sisters, Or nearly to Hood River. It was such an awesome trip. This year we are doing the Northern California BDR in August. Want to go? 😅👍🏻
Thanks! Yeah we were definitely in the same boat with ya. We had so many storms in Oregon. Planning the next adv ride will definitely depend on my schedule, but I have some pretty lofty ambitions for film projects this summer!
I live in Eastern Oregon and we have the best forests along with Washington State in the world I believe. I remember back 40 years ago when we used to do Logging here in Oregon and Washington when we had Very few fires! Now since the environmental tree huggers took over Fires are rampant and our forest's are totally mismanaged.
The sad thing is a thinned forest is still here 20 years later, but a burned forest is not. The undergrowth and buildup of dead trees that need to be felled is concerning. Theres gotta be some kind of common ground to manage these areas in ways that environmental groups don't attack.

We were there probably 20 minutes. It is surprising just how fast it can happen, so its definitely something to be aware of for sure!
Mount hood has had alot of BigFoot sightings.
I believe it
@ It is kind of creepy up there.
@@truckergare Yeah something about the forest out there has ya a bit on edge at night.
Oregon has Lots of lakes Alot without even names
It was incredible!
