For the long Fourth of July weekend we made plans with our friends Alex & Elise to explore Gifford Pinchot from north to south loosely following the Washington backcountry discovery route (WABDR). Come along with us as we find amazing dispersed camping & explore the beautiful backcountry of southern Washington.

You mentioned the “epic overland” type videos. The trips you share are what has gotten me into camping.
Good friends, beautiful NW scenery and a few cold beers. Life can't get much better than this video.
No doubt!
A fun group of funny people and their lovely dogs. Down to earth and well adjusted, I'd say.
Safe to say many of us really appreciate that you Two are NOT “EPIC o v e r l a n d-m a n Adventure-Guys” as this feels authentic and attainable.
Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks, I don’t mean to be negative toward that kind of video. I like watching that stuff, but sometimes I just wanna see people having a chill time out there 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching those professional type folks as well! Your words did not necessarily come across as negative, but genuine.
As someone who lives in the area and enjoys sharing trips like this with my partner also, your channel simply *hits different*
@@instantlunch24appreciate that!
In 1986 a buddy and I rode our motorcycles from Plumas county in the northern Sierras of CA to Port Angeles WA and back over 15 days. He had a new 1986 Honda XL 600, and I had a 1981 Honda XL 500. We rode for 3,300 miles total. Our ride from Mt. Hood to Mt. Rainer was quite a bit of what today is the WA BDR.
That looked like an awesome trip and you’ve definitely opened your friend’s eyes to how awesome dispersed camping is. That sucks that Cooper got his paw cut from some asshat litter bugs, good thing you were prepared with a medkit. You definitely did a real overland trip, explore and camp out. This was more of an overland trip than some folks who just want to push content and products out to the masses. If you haven’t been on it you should head to section 2 of the WABDR, specifically Bethel Ridge, the views are incredible. And Skib Bo is awesome, used to play that at grandmas house in Grants Pass during Xmas visits.
Thanks Scott! Always appreciate your comments. And I definitely think we set the bar high on their dispersed camping expectations now 😂
And yes!! Skip Bo is so fun, just played for the first time a few months ago
This video has everything! Toyota trucks, wheelin, multi-day overloading, shepherd dogs, Kim's terrible awful disastrous cooking, camp toilets, and creeks. Appreciate you making these vids. You dont have to be anything. Just press record on the camera and post.
❤️
Ok that's it , I want to go I got the gear and thingys to make it fun and live close to Rainer and also we bring a shower with. Soooo let's go!!! Great video and showing the pnw!!!
loved the video, don't look too much into it, you did a really good job by capturing Sean's at the moment, as someone who overlands with my 2016 4runner trail, it's always the best part is letting things fall where they may. keep up the great work, and be safe out there. Love the build ( setup )😊
Appreciate the kind words, John!
I know this is a older video but I just watched it and enjoyed it! I really appreciate your videos.
Thanks for watchin 🤙🏼
The best time with the best people. So fun to watch this and reflect back on all we did. Can't wait to get out there again!
Hell yeah dude, we really enjoyed it!
Thanks again, y’all! Appreciate ya making another one. Always a treat but totally relatable. Good times with good people. Nice.
Thank you! Cheers 🤙🏼
Nothing quite like the first time you take a friend dispersed camping! Great one, really enjoying it! Cheers!
It was a ton of fun to show them how awesome it can be. Now they just need to experience windy rain at a crappy pull off on the forest road when you can’t find a good spot 😂
Great video! Looked like a super fun trip. Cheers!
Thank you! It was a great time indeed
So glad to see you two (and Cooper) out having good times in the back country. We appreciate your content and your down to earth style.
Hey appreciate ya! Thanks for watching!
I can’t believe it! You drove right near mine and my wife’s’ absolutely favorite dispersed camping spot around 36:00. It’s an incredible spot at the edge of a small cliff that has an insane view of Mt Hood. But the only real way to get it is to be there at 0600 Thursday morning.
Oh yeah, we’re pretty familiar with all of those. We checked em all for the most part and all were taken unfortunately. Someone put them on the internet so now it’s constantly packed :(
37:40 I finally got why you are called scale of two...great video...thanks for keeping it real and not turning into one of those other channels with overdramatic narrations and some deep philosophical meaning behind every video
Ha! The mystery has been solved. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Amazing campsites and video!! 👏
Thank you!
Finally. RUclips gave me something I like.
Thanks RUclips! Glad ya liked it 😄
Awesome spots, I loved the frogs! I want to get up into that area, I have never been exploring out there. 🤙🏻
I think that was the first time I’ve heard frogs like that since I left the south. It was definitely cool, and you absolutely have to get out there. Tons of places to explore
4th of July is always a tough weekend for dispersed camping on public lands. Glad you were able to find some neat spots! We’ll make it up there with y’all eventually.
Sort of why I love GP. Definitely some people out there, but waaay better than Mt Hood
I appreciate your videos, the setting, the content, the pace, everything. Whatever you got for us, it's great. Cheers! - one Louisiana turned Oregon native to another.
Heeey geaux tiguhs! Thanks for watching!
I’ve stayed in the first spot y’all camped at! It’s beautiful up there!! Great video
Oh nice! I’m glad we found it, it was a great kickoff to the trip. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I’ve only entered Gifford Pinchot > 10 miles in from the Sunset Falls entrance. I really want to find and explore where you guys were in it. Thanks for this video!
Happy exploring! Gifford Pinchot is fantastic
As I do love to watch the epic overland man guy stuff and things I equally love to watch your content! It’s much more realistic you guys have a great set up that doesn’t cost hundreds or thousands of dollars and you’re out there have a good time with good friends and the pups not just searching for likes! You actually got to dip your toes in the water rather then talking about the water for a second then making a 3 hour meal and doing an add read for max tracks and jackerys! Appreciate the content and I’ll continue to watch as long as you guys out them out! Happy overloading!
I don't believe there's an ax on the other end. I think somebody hammered the handle into the wood say that five times fast LOL. Thank you though for a great video. Really really thank you
Lol, someone got in there good for sure! Wouldn’t budge an inch. And cheers! Thanks for watching
Keep up your own perspective it's refreshing ! Also go Ducks ;-)
Cheers! And I’m a slight ducks fan, since all of my friends here are, so I’ll give ya a ‘sco ducks
Great one! Quality AND quantity. Keep them coming, at your convenience. Please don't sweat the need to be epic. We like your style and content just fine. Do you. It works.
I enjoyed the apparent introduction of Zeno's paradox into your rating system.
Hey, did you train Cooper to be off leash and stick close, or did he come like that?
Thanks Tyler! And glad you named it, I didn’t know what that concept was called hahaha
And it took a loooong time for him to be off leash like he is now. Thankfully Shepards don’t really like to wander off as they are, but it definitely still took quite a bit of training. We really didn’t start letting him off leash until he was 2 or 3.
Rad!
Thanks for the video. How can I get a map of this trail? Also, do we need to book the camping spot in advance?
Ride BDR is what you want to search, and it’s all dispersed camping, so you gotta go searching for the good spots!
Hi, we are planning a trip to the Ococho the end of next month. Any tips? We're thinking the Big Summit Prairie.
Actually end of this month 🎉
Not too much experience in the Ochocos, but I’ve heard great things! Hit the maps on Gaia and get out there and explore 😎
There is camping to be had all over the Ochoco NF but safely Big Summit Prairie is mostly private land 😢
O, we talked to Casey with Coyote works last week. He said it's perfect time to go and most not privately owned? Interesting. I will check back in with him. Thanks for responding🎉
Yay!
Thankys guys. The GP provides.
Indeed it does 🤘🏻
Is the old routes still usable like sisters to senica
Sisters? Oregon? This was the Washington route
Do you know the name of that lake that you camped at at timestamp 19:40? (if you would be so kind to share)
Is that Skipbo?
Indeed!
HEY! Your videos are AWESOME and you two are a cool couple and compliment each other well. That said. I live on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada. Have you ever thought about checking us out? If not you should. We’re a relatively small place but there’s alot of cool places and things to see. I’ve been here for ten years and still finding new thing. Would love to meet up. At least check us out on line.
I’ve would had brought the blunt for sure a few of them
🤙🏼
@@ScaleofTwo and we be eating good after and again you was at an awesome river thought u be fishing by now let’s go bro
I would say there is no need to try to be yet another "epic overlander" channel. Just be you put out real content. I actually love finding new RUclips "camping" channels where the videos are not polished up productions with lots of drone shots, and product endorsements.
Your natural dry humor is actually fun to experience while you go about your camping adventure. Some channels are way too serious, or way too fake to enjoy.
Oh, and the old timers I grew up around pronounced Gifford Pinchot as "gifford pinch-it", but the correct way is "gi-frd pin-show". 😅
Lol, might have to start pronouncing it that way 😆
AOL is how I meet women
Nice
Not another “EPIC”video of an accumulation of the dankest influencer goodies with a jerk bait video title like “ Our Hamburgers Were Overdone, DID WE DIE!”
Hey man overcooked burgers are a pandemic! Careful with the ground beef
Nice intro...Wondering how you know he has Big Nuts...?...
I completely missed this comment and just had a nice laugh
