You need more dirt, danger, bacon, adventure shirts. California supports this effort.
the thing you guys find at 7:40 is called a sickle mower for cutting grass behind a tractor
Listen to the man in the 4 runner ! You can tell he knows his shit ! Be thankful to have a dude like that with you. Every group of truck campers needs a guy like that.
Absolutely.
I had a brother-in-law like that. The man knew everything about any man-shit. I you didn't agree with him, it was time to shut up, listen and learn. Unfortunately, he died a couple of years ago, but his lessons will be with me forever.
7:26 That equipment is actually a sickle bar mower. From the gears on the axle, it looks like it might be self driven from being pulled, either with a tractor or by horses. The pan seat hanging off the back allows the operator to control the horse team, and use the levers to engage the wheel-drive.
McCormick Dearing..... Think I have part of that in my barn😁
Stuff I played on as a farm child ❤️
@@stevebratten6592
Stuff I rode on to mow our fields as my dad towed it behind our old Willy's pickup.
It’s was a horse drawn mower originally. My dad pulled me on ours with a 55 economy tractor
That's right ✅
I have to say Braun is basically the glue for the group, not only has his experience been proven important but he was able to keep his cool and work with teddy. Teddy broke under pressure but Braun stayed collected and saved the day. I think Braun deserves alot of recognition for being a true friend.
Braun really is the man. He listened to why I was so scared and literally showed me why I'd be ok. After that I was fine.
Teddy passed the test. if he broke then that means there is a sweet white jeep gladiator sitting on the side of a cliff on the alex mack!
@@UnwindingRoads you're fine. Braun is amazing tho. Total stud of a friend.
@@ec-uploads I know how lucky I am to have Braun as a friend. One of the best ppl I've ever met
I just want to say I have a new appreciation for people who help map things on onX and what it takes to re-route over grown trails. Thank you for doing this and inspiring others to help maintain
Been wheeling all my life in the North Idaho Panhandle, Wash State, and Montana and I can assure you that a fearful driver who doubts himself is a danger to the pack and themselves. Always listen to the experienced navigators/ spotters and never panic. Great job guys and def a nail bitter bit of trail.
This is exactly what i said in an earlier comment that he replied to. But apparently he wants to "surround himself with MORE people like teddy". As far as im concerened the second he valued his life more than mine and asked me to get in the driver seat. Wouldve told me everything i needed to know about him. And that wouldve been the last trip i ever took with him.
@@LostMethods I can debate with you all day about my decisions but I'm assuming you've actually never experienced a situation like this. And that's fine. Just don't try to make me look bad on the internet because my stuff is documented.... You can dm me on Instagram and show me when you've been in these situations. Cheers!
I'm pretty confident in my skills. I knew it would slide before I even started this section. It did. More things happened and it was legitimately a stressful situation and documented. I did get back in the vehicle and got the job done.
He never valued his life more than mine, he valued my experience more than his. Huge difference. You know nothing about him as a person or friend from watching a 30 min video. I do think he smells funny though sometimes.
@@TheStoryTillNow because I capped my pants in these situations 😂😂😂
just have to add to the rest of the "holy shit that's sketchy!" comments. No one should be giving Teddy a hard time, that was absolutely fucking nuts
It was. Had my butt clenched in my sofa 😂
It’s hard to feel how hard or difficult the terrain is in the camera. Thanks for the adventure, this as hardcore as it gets 4x4ing off road
They don't say SAFETY 2nd for nothing!! Lol
Never forget the effort these legends put in to do this....I think we "forget" it when watching these videos. LONG days behind the wheel are exhausting.....then add in hours of sawing deadfall, heat, bugs and stress. Editing bypasses most of the misery. The effort involved in driving this is impressive! Good on ya, boys!
Thanks man theres bin others before us but it's still a hard trail for people who plan on taking the trail there r private land owners pls respect them as most have bin there their whole lives and built their homesteads from nothing to totally amazing was very impressed to see their simple yet impossible way of life out there
Nerves of steel right there recovering that Gladiator in the Dark in this terrain on these angles .....definitely getting in / out of that truck just to calm down catch a breath and point of view is a right thing .... great job on handling that guys \-/ no one can say Crap without being there doing it them self .... Respect .
Having had offroad situations with a few tight spots, keeping a positive attitude and listening to those that know what's what is what makes a trip successful. It's a learning process and it can be scary at times...don't give up or burden your buddies with your tasks. Some people aren't cut out for stress and that's ok...they either grow or stay out of the way and do something else.
teddy grew!
i get why teddy was nervous, but dude is a good spotter. just listen to him and try and stay calm. the more you focus on falling the more you're not going to listen. The winch is ALWAYS a good safety anchor. the guys at 4wd 24-7 always use their winches as anchor points and they are wild on the trails.
Bruan is the best spotter, and even better at explaining things. After the long days he had no patience to explain things to me. Lol the winch line did let go (you can see/hear it in the video first clip). The second attempt the tree fell. I wasn't going to find out what happened the third time. But I take full responsibility for getting into that situation in the first place. A lesson learned. From great teachers in Braun and Shaun both.
Even the easiest shelf roads can be super sketch because of the huge consequences from just one small mistake for even the most experienced and most hardcore offroaders. Looking forward to the rest of the adventure!
When do we get the Braun channel?,every group has a guy like braun who is just worth his salt...cheers
i dont think there will be a Braun channel im not on these adventures for the channel more to conquer the trails and to beat on our rigs with good pals ... so keep watching this channel its the only one that im willing to be on! shawn does a great job im proud and happy to be on these epic journeys with him and i hope the viewers learn something from our trips in a positive way so everyone stays safe and keeps the trails clean so others can enjoy too!
It’s one thing to watch on RUclips, a whole different thing to actually be there! I picked up a Rubicon and took it up the side of a cliff, spent about 8 hours on the edge of a cliff watching it slide slowly toward the edge. I now have a new appreciation for what you guys do, keep the videos coming!
Braun is such a persona. My fav from dirty and dangerous crew!
The more I watch these "extreme" off roading videos the more appreciation I feel for the human body. Most humans with a well functioning body could go through these rough terrains with ease and in a fraction of a time a 60 thousand dollar Jeep would. What an amazing machine our bodies are! If you're reading this, take good care of yours. God bless!
Yes but your body would break down way before you could complete this amount of distance, or it would take months on foot. I’ll stick with my Jeep. 👍🏻
@@TheStoryTillNow good point! I'll stick with BOTH.
That started out as what I'd call really fun adventure driving. But then it turned into brown trousers driving. I have a feeling that had I been there, at some point I would have had to toss my shorts in the bushes. Even though, I cannot help but wish I could have been part of the adventure.
15:13 - The guy with the beard smoking while cutting wood with the chainsaw is the most lumberjack person I've seen this year and I've spent a fair deal of time with actual lumberjacks.
Awesome! That incline was super scary!
Cutting that deadfall with all those bugs must have been less than enjoyable.
You guys!! Awesome job maneuvering this brutal trail. Shaun, you have the best RUclips videos! Y'all stay safe out there.
Thanks! Will do!
Was so nervous watching this on my couch lol. You guys are awesome. Thankful you guys had braun this adventure.
dude as someone who makes offroad content this is the cream of the crop..seeing a flipped truck and a cross like that's more suspenseful than any movie ive seen in years tremendous..
Thanks!
Wow! What an adventure this has been. The bugs OMG, I think there bad down her in south Georgia. I don't think I could have stood that without a head net. You guys are really good blazing the trail where I barely see a trail. Good work and safety second!
this is a prime example of the things you have to be prepared for when you overland, wheel or adventure you don't have to be a rock crawler to get into sketchy situations, really good to see what the trail holds for anyone looking to do it after seeing this video..... see ya out there 🤙
This caused me so much stress watching the side hill 😂 you guys are crazy! Great video!
I don't think I've ever looked more forward to a YT video than this. Yall are dope, especially Braun
Thanks!
Thnx
McCormick-Deering mower I believe. I actually operated one as a kid behind a John Deere model M tractor.
The real panic sets in when Braun smokes his last dart
What a dope trail! It's really nice to see Braun and the cherry red 4runner back in the mix as well. I'm really looking forward to next weeks video!
Lucky to have a spotter like that
The side hill, the cross, the fallen car. I can't imagine how hard it was to pass through there with all this in the head. Rough trail but you guys pulled through like champs. True Canadians. Cheers from the other side of the country✌
In a youtube space of a ton of good content, the videography in this really stands out. Love your shooting style!
Thanks!
Off camber shelf roads have made up nearly all of my scary off-road moments. Looks like the three of you had similar experiences on this trip.
Last year in Moab one of my scariest moments was on one of the easiest trails I did. I failed to take a sharp corner wide enough, and noticed in my rear view mirror that my right rear tire on my F250 was hanging off the edge. What made it worse is that part was also washed out and a shear drop straight down into the canyon. Thought for sure I was going to have to change my shorts after that one 😂.
It's not very often I'm on the edge of my seat...... Glad you guys conquered the obstacle!
You guys are the true overlanders! You make your way through thick and thin! I know it’s not always like this but Shaun you always get to where you are going no matter what it takes and you bring us all along for such an adventure!
What an amazing video. Thank you for overlanding Canada 🇨🇦 and sharing with us.
Teddy, 99.9999% of the people here wouldn't go back in the car. You did. My respects. A wise man once said... a living dog is better than a dead lion. Your life has more value than the approval of millions.
Cheers Henry! Much appreciated! The guys did a great job of calming me down, taking a moment and getting the job done. On to the next!
@@UnwindingRoads A lot of us have been in your position, just maybe not as sketchy. It's tough to put your trust, life, and vehicle in someone else's hands, but if they know their stuff, it's best to listen to the spotter. I don't blame you one bit though for being cautious.
@@scottsnyder8691 absolutely. I did eventually. Lol
Teddy wasn't doing what needed to be done. He would have rather put someone else at risk than be responsible for his own actions. Cowardice is dangerous in these situations.
@@numulis321 I wanted the people with more experience to get my truck out of that situation. After 2 failed winch attempts I was a little rattled. You wouldn't understand what that feels like. There was real consequences here, unlike your comments trying to make me look bad, all I can do is answer them. I have been called many things in my life, a coward is not one of them. You need to understand the definition of a coward. I got back in the truck and we got it done. You're hanging on to a 3 minute section of a 10 day trip. Any single person that has wheeled with me knows how I am out there, you don't. So stop. Because you're the coward on a keyboard and I promise you, you would not be calling me a coward in person.
WOW, I've been in that exact situation, Camera just does not show how steep that really is! Ass Pucker factor of TEN. Fantastic job of spotting, your driver of the white truck, I totally understand his fear. You have to trust your spotter, it's just like climbing you have to trust your Belay man, else time to Bail.
The scariest Off-road trail indeed! Wow! 😰. It's already scary enough to do this with the sun shining but at night is a different animal man... Had me doing deep breaths especially at 17:21 and 19:00 the camera doesn't do justice as to how scary those lean angles are. It's different when you're in the driver seat and for the spotter. But I would listen to Braun any day man... He's a good spotter.
I showed this to my wife and friends. If you don't mind, my suggestion would be to bring extra people who can act as muscle during these trips. It's already stressful enough for the driver to drive and film at the same time in these conditions, let alone cut and remove branches. Also, I think it wouldn't hurt to attach an extra winch at the back.
Shaun, amazing footage as usual! We're not even close to filming and editing at this quality. Great friends you have there. I know Teddy panicked but still, you rarely see a friend these days who's willing to take the extra effort to get gas for you all. Time and money are sometimes interchangeable terms. Thanks again and stay safe out there... ✌😎
Thank you!
I say one of the best videos yet
When it comes to all those bugs just think how it was for the first pioneers that crossed the land with only horses and wagons, and no air tight car to hide from them.
Looking forward to the last part. Looks like one hell of an adventure!
Loving this series! And man I don’t blame Teddy at all for feeling that way. I would have been pretty freaked out by that. That could have easily went really bad really quick.
Thanks Danny! I did eventually get it done!
Wow!!
Driving through the grass like that just struck me as incredible for some reason. Like… you have an idea of where you’re supposed to be going, but you have to kinda sift through the terrain to find it.
It’s awesome! 99% of the offroading that we do these days is just following trails made by others before us, or that were once forest service roads. But, all these trails we follow were made by someone at some point. At the pioneering of the off road community, someone picked, cut, trampled and explored their way through.
Sorry for the long comment… just so awesome!
Also, now that I’ve finished the video. The frustration of the spotter when Teddy was crossing that off camber hill. Sun is going down, everyone is exhausted. Never awesome during an event like that, but what a time, eh!?
I seriously doubt many of us, if any of us, understand how challenging this was for y'all. Fine quality entertainment on my end!
My man should get some new tires on that 4runner for that excellent help!
Mighty fine episode, had me on the edge👍
Sick adventure ! Nice job on the video considering the level of uncertainty of the trail but a drone or a day recap outro would be perfect 👍🏾
Once again, on the very edge of our seats. This one was a nail biter. Can’t wait to finish the rest. Love that you’re out here showing us the very back of BC’s backcountry. A real adventurer you are! Thanks for capturing it all for us! 👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man this is such awesome series, I love it 👍👍. Anywhere we go to wheel we have to travel. This is how we are meant to be...adventurous ! Wish I lived closer I’d give anything to be right there with y’all. Keep it up, prayers for safe travels !
Going on a week long moto camping trip on a TW200 starting tomorrow with a 6 hour drive over a mountain pass. My anxiety is off the charts but thanks for the inspiration guys, watching your stuff always makes me wanna get out and do some epic stuff. I get horrible anxiety like straight up panic attacks planning this stuff but everytime as soon as I hit the road I feel great. Just getting myself psyched up this evening for the trip lol.
Have fun!
now that is REAL OFF ROADING!
Also we were doing a difficult trail and our group talked about turning around. One of the girls said I would rather flip this jeep upside down and light it on fire than turn around!
PRICELESS!!!! 🤣🤣🤙🤙
Pure Canadian #Badassery. Just phenomenal! 🙏👍
Sick video! Crazy to think that super off camber hillside is the original route.
Best video of the year. Seriously. Rarely is anyone plowing new trails nowadays. Only in Mexico or Alaska it seems.
Thanks! I love overgrown places.
Quebec trails are all like this... they keep getting narrower until they disappear. No one does the necessary work.
Had to double back 16km yesterday.
Really great adventure it’s cool seeing how you all had to cut through all the fallen trees. I personally know how tiring and long that takes to clear different sized fallen trees. I have been doing tree service for over 20 years for my fathers tree service business. For your next adventure I suggest trying out a husqvarna 572XP it will get you through pretty much everything you were going through on the trail a bit quicker.
Expedition Overland channel did this same trail in 2016 with Tacoma’s and 4Runners. They did quite a bit of cutting but don’t recall the steep side hill.
They bypassed it on the main road.
Now this was some epic shit! True back country adventure! Your guy knows his stuff navigating! That shelf road had me on the edge of my seat.
The butt pucker is real on this one. Nice job keeping calm when it's at its hardest.
Shoutout to all of the pro spotters out there keeping rigs alive.
This is an epic adventure, this is an epic trail, and Shaun captured it magnificently!
I watch off-roading videos to distress but oh man, this had me on edge the entire time.
Balls of steel man...that looked like a lot of work and butt clenching side hill traverses. Epic.
This episode gave me heartburn... WOW!
I already knew Braun has a Toyota 4x4 without even looking to it haha. They are always bit ahead. Love that guy.
This is why you are my favorite off-road channel.
Be safe
The adventure looks great you guys capture it awesomely. The right choice of music makes it so intense and the way you narrate it.
Thanks so much for taking us, your views on an epic journey across BC's backcountry.
Here in Alberta 🇨🇦 our laws are crazy, we can't even do water crossings.
Keep up the great content from a fellow Jeep owner 👋
Hahah I love that the typical bc off camber getting stressed out and getting angry at each other all love when you get to camp tho
Man that shelf road gave me anxiety 😂. Another awesome video. Shaun you have some real talent. Your camera shots and drone footage are always top notch.
wow, one of the best BEST episodes, THIS TIME this video has almost everything
Thank you
Hell of a day. Loggers for the first half, then super stressful incline. Glad you guys made it through. Hopefully a different route back home
Brother Shaun. This video has the quality and intensity of some of the greatest Game of Thrones episodes. The part where Teddy was stuck, that gave me major anxiety. So thank you for that. Lol.
Amazing stuff.
Thanks paul
Looks like Teddy needs a new tire and/or rim setup. This Ridge Grapplers get caked fast.
You guys are off the rails scary nuts. Craziest venture I've ever watched of yours.
Looks like teddy needs to get some rock lights for these situations.
Just one thing to add. That video wouldn't be as great as it was without you producing it! Honestly
Very well said. It has raised the bar on yt content by far! Thank you for all the hard work you do
Passive aggressive Canucks make me chuckle 🤭 love you guys. Thanks for the amazing videos
This has been one of the most awesome adventures I’ve ever seen kudos to you guys this was done so professionally this is amazing you guys kudos to you
Thanks!
This channel is deserve more subscribers. The musics and videos are perfect. Of of my favorite channel about off road video
Thank you
Another great video! Exciting, interesting and really entertaining! You make yourselves paths where there are no paths at all! Authentic and real! A pleasure to watch. Keep it up. You could only go into the requirements of the vehicles. Are these original or what has been changed? Many Thanks.
Okay…., wow! When you hit that rock and almost tipped over…. I was glued to the screen. I’d be WAY nervous! Maybe there’s “grampa” trails for a newbie like me…, LOL!
Looks like a good time start to finish. Looking forward to part 3.
You guys are amazing! I love watching your videos. Thanks again
This is an awesome video. Exploring at its best. Thank you for the great content.
BIG BALLS OF HEAVY STEEL guys. That was really fun to watch. What an amazing , MEGA-EPIC adventure. Will be waiting for the next installment.
lol @ "Road Grader" It's a Sickle Bar Mower! Keep him away from sharp objects.
I’ve done a bunch of hard trails (Moab, Windrock, Rausch)but that shit was nerve racking
Wow so glad you were level headed through this
That was a hay cutter not a grader we still use those here in Ky there pulled by horses looks to be 40s there was most likely a old house settlement there
beautiful view 😍😍😍and you are some brave people and always careful on the road. I greet you with respect from Romania 🤝🤝🤝🖐🖐🖐
Epic shaun, this is what it's all about, true adventure and overcoming challenges to reach your destination. You're all embodying the pioneer spirt and doing the MacKenzie grease trail proud.
Thank you!
Unpopular opinion: Teddy’s lack of trust in his team makes him a liability to the safety and success of your mission (which was obviously completed.) Remote trips like this require all team members to stay resilient and reliable under pressure, not add to the chaos.
But his awesomeness makes him a massive asset. 🤷🏻♂️
I wouldn't have gone at all if I didn't trust them. Until you put together a team to accomplish what we did 🤫
Cameras very seldom show how bad off camber tracks are and ill bet this was no different. Its easy to sit at home and say how we would handle these situations. But to be Teddy sitting in a lifted Gladiator, feeling the rear-end slipping downhill, your heart pounding every time the uphill wheels go over some lift in the track, every instinct telling you to stop and get out before your rolling downhill. Then to get back in that rig, on that death trap of a track and finish the section takes alot of huevos. Yeah ill bet there was a few times on that hillside that all of them probably wouldnt have minded being some where else. Nice team work!!
Thanks!
Dude I totally applaud you guys
Great job. Worked at a landfill almost 30 years ago. Never could get used to driving the "width" of it. On a lighter note, you needed a snorkel for the grass😅
Awesome content! I wish we had OnX available in 2019. We filmed but our camera equipment, editing skills/knowledge were lacking. So interesting how much some things change while others are exactly the same. We too only had 3 hard working dudes (and a dog). We were using the BRMB hard copy map book and had a navigation system that was useless so we had to ask for directions in Kluskus. We were given a much different way out of the village. I want to go back now just to drive the sketchy hillside that you boys ran there. Very cool! Let us know next time. We'll tag along and NOT leave you midway through the trail. We know what the trail has to offer and aren't afraid of the working end of a saw, shovel or log (if you are this trail is not for you). lol
WOW ! That is scary extreme off roading, but you made it ! I want to see how this trip finishes.
The car down there appears to be an 80s Dodge pickup. The rear fuel tank is normally a Ramcharger tank, but someone could have mounted it on their truck. Or maybe a factory option that Ive not seen before.
You guys found a old 50s tow behind sickel.. the seat goes on top of the axel and that handle lifts and lowers the sickel
Very cool
Cool video I love it ! Would like to point out that was Mc Cormick sickle mower that was horse drawn not a grader lol but nice guess lol
i would have bin re purposing it lol
