What the Hail? A stormy spring campout with our Vanagon in the Oregon Coast Range

- This time we head back towards Tillamook to find camp high up on a ridge in the rain and fog. We make some home made chili for dinner before battling some hail on the way out the next day.

GREAT V.W. camper and video:)
Thanks!!
Nate
I must say you did a wonderful job editing that story. Love the cutaways and especially the drone footage. My wife and I spent two months in the Olympics in our '86 Westy and this video reminds of that trip.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words!
Nate
It's a very nice video, good luck
Thanks!
Nate
I had one of those jackets! Yes, in the 80’s
Heck yeah!!
Nate
I just spent six months outside in the snow and rain working on my first westy (84 1.9) and spring springing, and your new upload just got me so excited to finally use the thing!
Awesome! What all did you do to it? Any big adventures planned?

@@ThatBaldwinLife since I’ve never had a vanagon before it was a lot of looking at the Bentley and figuring out misfires (thought it was stuck lifter, turns out there was a slice in the intake boot) welding panels in, new gas tank and vapor tanks, new ignition lock and switch, new shift linkage, cooling system flush (almost impossible to get all the gunk outta that system) about 1 million miles of unused wiring from the AC cabinet… you name it man. I’m still so anxious when I drive it. I’ve even got a whole closet full of parts with us at all times haha 😂
Nice work! The more you drive it, the more confident you will get in taking it to remote areas. It may take some time to work through all the kinks, but you'll have great adventures getting there!
We have a ton of spares and I still wouldn't mind having more sometimes!
nate
@@ThatBaldwinLife appreciate that Nate! I’ll keep sending it!
Dude I was dying watching you hammer in the tent spikes!!
Man I couldn't hit that thing if my life depended on it!

The Syncro power!

Our van is 2wd 😁

Another great adventure altho bit of an embarring moment for the son of a carpenter with those pegs? Love y'all.
Yeah a bit embarrassing for sure! I got it done though 😄
I’m glad you have good brakes! Let me know when you make it to Chicago.
We have excellent brakes and needed them going down that hill!
nate
Fun in Oregon/ ya never know here in the spring time (weather) 😂
For sure! We were hoping to get up higher on the mountain but guess we will have to wait a few more months.

Hang onto that woman. She’s a keeper.
I’ve been looking at the ARB awning with the extra front cover. Looks killer for rain.
Nancy is the best! Awing's are so nice in all weather, so much more usable room

Beautiful Video and nice impressions. Greetings from Germany.😊
Thanks for watching!

Another great video. Only been out once this year in my 73 Westy. Still working on my 83 1/2 Westy. Hopefully soon some adventures of my own. Take care and best wishes.
Thanks Chuck. What are you doing to the 83? Weather's getting nicer, time to take the old 73 out on some adventures!
nate
@@ThatBaldwinLife it sat for over 10 years before I bought it last fall. Pretty much going over everything. New radiator, water pump, thermostat, coolant and hoses. Going through the brakes, etc... Needs new canvas. Rebuilt and rejetted the carbs on the 73. Adventure time awaits.
Glad you are bringing the van back to life, nice work
nate
Setting here thinking...... I wonder what the Blaldwin's have been up to, and bang this video pops up...... thanks for thinking of me.....
You're always on our mind 😁
Heading to Syncrofest here soon!
nate
@@ThatBaldwinLife If you ever need a place to stay or work on your Bus, just jerk my chain....
@@ThatBaldwinLife Syncrofest is just down the road from where they are going to have Decend on the Pininacles......
Yep, we will be there as well. Lot's of Cali traveling for us in May!

Is your Westy a 2WD or a Synco? Man that is a capable van. I am looking to purchase one. Any advise?
Our Westy is 2wd. Like any old car, make sure you know what you’re getting into and an owner with good records can save some headaches. I like the 1987-1991 for the 2.1L engine and grey interior better than the 86 and older. Good luck!
Nate
What engine do you have in your Vanagon? That definitely doesn't sound like a WBX?
Yea it is a 2.2L WBX built by Rocky Jennings. Ratio rockers, cam, etc with a GoWesty exhaust.
Nate
Is that a Synchro? Sorry newbie here
Our Westy is a 2wd, thanks for watching!!

Hello, my friend, I live in North Africa I also have a Volkswagen T3, but it is worn out. I will start repairing it, and then the next destination is Europe. This is my dream. I have a friend named Muhammad Jamal Talib, and he is a RUclipsr who took this trip before me. He really took a risk. If you want, I will give you the address of his video and give me your opinion.
Get that T3 repaired and back on the road! 😁. Yes, put a link to his RUclips in the comments!
