I've turned back twice. Once on Medano Pass and once on the Alpine Loop near Ouray Colorado. I plan to try Medano Pass again now that I have better tires & a portable air compressor. No Shame in staying safe & alive.
It's okay to turn around when you're alone on a challenging trail. If there's another vehicle, at least it can help pull you out of situations. Stagg chili is delicious btw!
Having built my van for two years (a large Nissan Cargo) with all the things one could imagine, sound deadening, solar, heater, etc., etc., my wife has been ill. So, I have a beautiful parked almost new van but have to watch all you maniacs go rompin' around. It is wonderful and brings me happiness. I have also watched Simon since he began. Thanx for the laughs and joy you bring us all!
@@AdventureTimeLouiyou need to reset and go be an apprentice mechanic, and they will probably pay you basically nothing......but that's okay because you won't be very useful for a while.....but thats normal..... But you have your whole life ahead of you and its dangerous that you can't fix your vehicle. Way before fog lights, you needs tools and knowledge. Seriously, most overlanders can fix things. Or at a minimum, you need a torch and tools to be able to disconnect a drive line.
Just came from Steve's video. Very glad to find you. All the the best on your journey. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. Michael in Toronto.
Failures add to the adventure! Never be scared of turning around if you have to. Fog is a regular feature in winter where I live, but rarely that thick. I’ve only driven in visibility like that once in the 1990s at night on a mountain and it was frightening! Finally, William is the best dog ever!
Epic adventure! I would have been skeptical of that trail too. The ice definitely would've freaked me out 😂. William is so happy in the snow and the faces he makes crack me up!!
So. Prop shaft U joints. When you lifted your rig (and that's another discussion), did you upgrade your prop/drive shafts with extended shafts with longer slip joints and wide angle joints? Possibly double cardan joints? If not, 'corrosion' aside, you are going to completely screw your prop shafts over and over again. And that thing that you referred to about what can happen if one breaks... That can also happen if you over extend a standard shaft on a lifted rig and the standard slip joint pops out.
@@AdventureTimeLoui - changes my perspective on my own "failures" - if I can be kind and appreciate the things that didn't go as planned for you, maybe I can look at my own misadventures the same way.
After driving an hour to a rails to trails cycling trail, a friend and I were ready to head out. But for some reason I didn’t want to go. We turned around and went home. Odd. Felt great about trusting my instincts. You did the right thing turning around when you’re not comfortable. 💗
I'm a part-time van lifer, the calm stuff can be boring for me, the adventures are good. I was in Radium Hot Springs earlier this summer, it's a great spot! Enjoy.
Hi Loui, i love your rationale when deciding whether to do something or not. Its so funny to hear your response to a challenge that may be difficult. Remember, its only a learning curve that will get easier with experience. Good that you got the Jeep sorted when you did. See your learning already.
Brilliant video Loui! Really enjoyed everything about it :) If possible in the future, could you do a video revving up your car? So we can hear how it sounds!
Nice, rich content video. PB sandwich is a delicacy, if prepared correctly. Try a PB and banana sandwich. Glad you are carefully listening to your Jeep. Good judgement on the RR turn around. Thanks for sharing this chapter in your adventure.
Another great video Loui!! Found your channel through Foresty and been binge watching your channel. Have you got that lump on Williams right shoulder checked out at a vet? It would be sad if you lost your travel mate. Hoping the best for you and your doggo!! Safe travels!!
Just seen you on Steve channel, with Simon. I'm looking forward to watching ur content. Also, congrats on camping in a wrangler, epic challenge. Anyway, thanks
I used to be a trucker in BC. The worst part about driving in a white out blizzard (or fog) is how stupid most of the other truck drivers really are - they drive WAY beyond their visibility and they literally can't stop if there's something in front of them they just crash into it. They wreck so many trucks in BC every winter. Never ever feel obligated to drive faster than you feel safe, if you're scared, slow down, but use hazard lights under 70. Your instincts are right and those truckers are dumb.
Definitely important to listen to yourself and your instincts. OMG William is da cutest boi 🥰🐶 I remember our geocaching days! Was so fun 😘 love you daughter ❤❤❤
Not surprised your drive shaft went bad because of the rough terrain you're driving. If you ever add a mountain bike to your adventure setup, maybe a lightweight emtb with plenty of ground clearance and good range, you could explore tough roads/trails on the bike and give the Wrangler a break. The dog can run along because you're not going more than 6-8 mph. Foresty's ebike is too heavy imo and doesn't have 12-speed for the steep stuff and in general doesn't have enough ground clearance for the backcountry.
You NEVER have to apologize for self care. Love the vids.

If you put some Amber fog lights on your Jeep it helps with seeing in the fog
Yep pro tip for any car!
I need some ASAP if I’m ever gunna do a drive like that again 😂

Thanks for the new video! We are really enjoying following your adventures, Loui.
Thank you for coming along 🥰
Saw you on Steve's channel.
I like all your updates and adventures. Lots of good editing and great footage. Stay safe out there!
Thanks my friend! 💗
@@AdventureTimeLoui More vids with your brother, he's cool as hell!

Liard River fog and bison dont mix
I'm from the east koots but live in northern AB. I take July off every year and cruise around east/west koots. Me, dog, tent : )
..oh and I post some of those videos on my terrible channel.
Thanks!!! and this is by far one of my favorite areas in the world now! lucky to live so close to it 😍
I found you from Simon’s video a few weeks back. So glad I did 😊 you look like you’re having so much fun out there!
I found her through Steve and I'm glad! She's so beautiful ❤️
Always listen to your gut instincts, Loui always it knows if something is not a good plan
Epic adventure! I would have been skeptical of that trail too. The ice definitely would've freaked me out 😂. William is so happy in the snow and the faces he makes crack me up!!
Great adventure Loui, love your videos!
Hello, glad to see you back. Great video enjoyed it.👍NC
Steve showed up on my feed 2yrs ago,that led me to foresty,and I just watched the 3 of you at that cool $3.99 campground. So I subscribed. Great vids.
Steve sent me here! :)

You are. More competent than you think. Most people would ignore the sound. Great dog….
Really coming to enjoy your adventures - even (especially) when they don't come out as planned. I'm watching again. :)
Thanks for the encouragement! It’s always 😅 putting out something you didn’t complete
@@AdventureTimeLoui - changes my perspective on my own "failures" - if I can be kind and appreciate the things that didn't go as planned for you, maybe I can look at my own misadventures the same way.
I just saw you on Steve Wallis channel. Nice to meet you
Geocaching! I did it for a little bit years ago and I’m always reminded of them when Foresty Forest summits a mountain 😂
100% okay to turn around. Even if the plan doesn't work out I find I'm still left with a good Jeeping story, and that's a win in itself!

Also, your pup is stunning. But I'm positive you know that, 😉. Cheers.
Saw you today in the parking lot and waved. Hi again!
I found you recently in Steve’s Wallis videos. He interviewed you at the end and your pups face as it was all comfy laying covered up was great.
Hello from Zürich-Switzerland 😊
Hi Loui, i love your rationale when deciding whether to do something or not. Its so funny to hear your response to a challenge that may be difficult. Remember, its only a learning curve that will get easier with experience. Good that you got the Jeep sorted when you did. See your learning already.
Camping with Steve said you were a good person. that made the cut for me to subscribe.
For some reason RUclips has not been notifying me of your new videos. I will keep a lookout lookout for them 👍🏻

There is no snow here in Kelowna BC. Not yet. But some snow up in the hills already. Maybe a few more weeks until snow here.
Hi! New subscriber, saw you on Steve Wallis’ channel. I love your cute doggo!
Thanks for the adventure.
HA! Geocaching is how I travel! It is what leads me on the most epic of adventures!!
Nice, rich content video. PB sandwich is a delicacy, if prepared correctly. Try a PB and banana sandwich. Glad you are carefully listening to your Jeep. Good judgement on the RR turn around. Thanks for sharing this chapter in your adventure.
Glad there’s other smart people out there who like a PB and banana sandwich! The best!
Good morning beautiful day 💪🏾🫴🏾❤🙏🏾👋🏾🌄

Girllll I missed you !! Where you been😭
Try crumbling some chips on that dish you made at the end to kick it up a notch.
I've been geocaching since 2006. If I were traveling like you I would be doing it on a regular basis as a fun activity.
Definitely important to listen to yourself and your instincts. OMG William is da cutest boi 🥰🐶 I remember our geocaching days! Was so fun 😘 love you daughter ❤❤❤
Glad to see you back on your great adventures. Any warm Caribbean adventures in the near future? Stay warm out there 😊
Nice video, you’re gaining so much experience and knowledge. Many Blessings

Could be mid or a small stone between the brake rotor and the backing plate. I've had that happen lots
