    I’d say probably 5 years or so ago I did that trail with a stock 2017 Chevy Colorado 4x4 .
    Was nerve wrecking and I had not expected the trail to be as it is but we made it.
    Nice Bronco!

      Thanks so much! This is a great little fun trail. We have done it with the Bronco and with our previous rig, which was a Colorado Bison.
      Unfortunately, the forest service has graded the whole trail, so it is a lot easier now. Still would be a great place to camp!

      Oh man, I really appreciate your comments, Frank. It was great having my daughter with me to help capture video from outside of the rig. This trail has changed. It seems more washed out I spots, which makes it a little more challenging.

      @@FiveAngelsOutdoor That’s definitely good to know because my wife and I are going in June to do it. And on another note, we went to Sarah’s Creek this past Saturday and the road at the top after you cross the stream is washed out bad and now impassable for vehicles such as ours, my XJ sets on 8” of lift with 35’s and OX lockers with 4.88 gears front and rear and I wasn’t going to attempt it. It was nice to hear you speak of people doing things on these trails that they shouldn’t be doing because it ruins it for everyone else. Again great job on this video for sure my friend by you and your daughter!!!!

    Thanks for the video. Subscribed! From your videos, it appears we may live in the same region. I'm near Hendersonville, NC. My wife and I are always looking for exploring buddies. If you're close enough, contact us sometime. Anyway, I've done Hurricane several times and your video has me wanting to go again! I'd love camping out on the trail, but concerned of doing it alone. Happy Trails, Tony

    the first camp spot...would you say you could bring a Intech off road camp trailer there with no issues? or can you go farther to another spot?

    • @FiveAngelsOutdoor
      @FiveAngelsOutdoor  7 дней назад

      Seems those trailers aren’t too big. The trail can be tight in some places, but the good news (or bad) is that the forest service recently graded the road, which makes it easier to navigate and removes all of the obstacles.
      I think you could make it in.

  • @CakayaqOfBethel
    @CakayaqOfBethel 2 месяца назад +2

    What happened at the big obstacle between the “rock/tree” and the muddy ruts near the end ? We took some vintage vehicles on the trip and got hung up on the one you didn’t include in the video.

    • @FiveAngelsOutdoor
      @FiveAngelsOutdoor  2 месяца назад

      Yeah. A little bit of a brain fart. We made it through fine, my daughter spotted for me again, but I forgot to set up my tripod 😞 Was sort of bummed, but I was focusing on the trail. I had to run my passenger tire right along that edge, so that I didn’t run too high up the wall on the drivers side.

      @FiveAngelsOutdoor  4 месяца назад +1

      I have seen others that size make it through. Have a spotter with you or another rig, because there are a couple of spots where another set of eyes are pretty crucial.

    Thanks for the video! How did you mount your pelican case to the side trailrax? I'm thinking to do the same but struggling to find a plug and play solution and worried about drilling and water and also don't want everything to fall out of it when I open it. Any insights you're willing to share on that mod I would appreciate it. Thank You.

    • @FiveAngelsOutdoor
      @FiveAngelsOutdoor  4 месяца назад +1

      I have the PaxRax and I used the cross plate to mount the case. I drilled holes through the back of the case and passed a bolt through. I used rubber washers and it is still water proof. Worked out real well and pretty sturdy.

    What was the total time it took to get from one end to the other?

    • @FiveAngelsOutdoor
      @FiveAngelsOutdoor  3 месяца назад

      Less than three hours for the trail itself. Depends on how much you stop and a larger group could hold things up a bit. If you go up to Max Patch, then that adds 30-60 minutes and then you would have to add hiking time.

      ​@@StandAloneAdventuresa YJ will have absolutely no problems. I've done hurricane creek twice myself and I'm in a JLU (moderately modified). A YJ is quite a bit narrower than a JL so unless you have super wide axles, you're fine.

      The last time I did this trail in September 2022 I did it in my Chevy Colorado ZR2 AEV Bison. It was fun back then, but the trail has changed a bit.

      The Red Beast Wagon fit pretty easily down through there a few weeks ago with some minor pinstripes. I am most likely wider than the Bronco Raptor. I measure out at 84” wide from outside tire to outside tire…
