A stream so EXCEPTIONAL a FOREST FIRE couldn't stop me and THE PERFECT OFF ROAD CAMPER BUILD! p25

- I'm driving up a forest service road in Idaho when I notice the smoke all along the road and down in the valley I'm headed to in part 25 of the 2 month camping road trip. I was starting to get concerned and noticed some guys on ATV's along the road. I stopped and after talking with them learned the fire was in the valley I was going. After a few more hours of driving, I found a stream I hadn't planned and it was amazing...I ended up spending 2 days on it! I'll also give you a first look at my camper build after driving several hours on a rugged forest service road. I built this camper to take some off road abuse. It's the perfect combination of rugged and functional, exactly what you need in an adventure vehicle! I built it to be off road approved (see the build link below).
I'm living in my truck bed camper for 2 months and road tripping through New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming. See the entire series on my channel or other parts below....

Hey buddy northern Idaho guy here, Marbile Creek is beautiful and may be up your alley. Lotsa cutthroat and rainbows. Occasionally I’ll catch a brown.
Great videos thanks for posting
Thanks for the tip a few others mentioned it also might need to plan on visiting it next year!
Enjoyed the fishing after a hard days drive.
Definitely earned it on that day!
Nice video Drew . The size of the trout in those small streams is amazing. I guess getting away from the crowds is important
Important to me for sure!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 living the dream my man… living the dream
Doing my best to!
I wish that every really long, rough road ended with a great fishing stream. Thanks for sharing.
Would make every trip worth it!
Stay safe and go get em Buddy!
Thanks man, always my top or up there in my priorities lol!
Great video as always. It’s sure been fun following along on this trip
Glad it wasn't terrible, definitely sharing the entire adventure not just the best moments!
@@LooknFishy that’s part of what I like about the trip. You’re showing every aspect of it
Wounderfull! Super vidio clip!
Thank u much!
What a day that was, you know what I say drew? That's better than working. Going to the smokies for the rest of the week to chase some trout, maybe I'll catch a few. All the conditions are perfect, I'll see what happens. It will be fun. Until next time. 👍👍👍
Definitely is! Sounds like time well spent!
been enjoying your travels and have started my own keep the great content coming
Great to hear!
If you don't already do so, try airing down your tires. It gives your suspension a break, provides better traction, allows tires to deflect on objects and most of all a much better ride on those rough roads. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I do. I might upgrade my shocks which are original to the truck in 2010.
I traveled a similar road exploring Rock Creek recently - I now have a few more rattles in the Jeep! Lol. What was the elevation on this trip? Trees looked narrow - about 4,000 - 5,000 feet?
Haha, why I dig my 2010 nissan! Yup, probably under 4500 if I had to guess.
Keep Living the Dream Bro…Pauly at Wilderness Coast on Fly in Oz 🤓👍🇦🇺
Will do, thanks man!
Nice fishing man 👍👍👍👍
Thank u much!
@@LooknFishy your welcome
1:27 ...I used to routinely air down the tires on my CJ-7 to around 13 psi, which made travelling on the rough stuff more enjoyable, and found the sweet gear in low-range to avoid all the shifting.....
Omg a road to put the fear into my flatlanders heart and I’ve been on roads just like that ,thank god it wasn’t raining or the chains would’ve been on and I’d have been terrified,I use to cook for an outfitter in Wyoming, and I’ve been real nervous a time or two. The places we go to go hunting and fishing,
Ain't that the truth!
Thanks and really good video! I like that you make things work with whatever comes along, if you will. I have to do similar things on occasion when camping with the kiddos. I thinknitnhelps them realize t go with the flow and try your best to make things work. Be safe out there.
Absolutley, not an adventure without some off script audibles. Plus, it can't be epic everyday and I said, I'd share the trip as it happened!
Hey Drew...did you have any tire issues? I lost another tire to a stone cut in July. It was a rental SUV. No cell service and had to nurse it out on a donut. Where we were was less populated than where you were. No matter, I still love North Central Idaho.
Nope, but I upgraded to a 10 ply tire 2 yrs ago for its puncture resistence. No issues since
@@LooknFishy I’ve lost rental suv tires three times in the last 5-7 years or so.
One other thing…great redfish videos in La. When I fished over in Grand Isle, I learned about resident tarpon. Have you ever seen any?
No but I know they have a tarpon rodeo at the end of July. Guessing those are not in reach of my kayak lol!
@@LooknFishy the summer tarpon are migratory. The residents are kayak accessible. It’s just finding them. I talked to a guide in Grand Isle who told me about them. We tried to put together a kayak trip for them but I haven’t done it yet.
I got stranded fishing on the East Walker River 20 years ago in Southwest Nevada somewhere between Yerington NV. and California if you look on the map you see there ain't s*** out there
Haha...doesn't that help define what you consider required gear on a trip!
Well when you fly out to Reno and Reserve a Jeep and they say all we got left is a Mercury Marquis and if your insurance is paid up you total it
RV'ing and vehicle "van-life" camping has been becoming more and more popular for a long while now. And since the plandemic, it's gone crazy. Also, the western half of the US has been the more popular destination. Some RV campgrounds are all booked up out to two years. That's likely why you're seeing so many RVs and campers out in wilderness areas where you normally wouldn't expect to see them in such large numbers.
Would definitely explain what I find in the next episode!
Lmao 🤣. Plandemic?
I think Idaho gets a lot of people from Cali, Wash and Oregon. Not a big drive for them. Could be scouting for elk too. I'm always amazed at how many people are back in north central Idaho, when I'm there.
Yea, I'd head to ID all the time if I lived in any of those states too!
I wish you would quit showing everyone how Awesome it is out here🤫 just kidding. Excellent video as always. Next year come to Washington state.
Haha, Thank u very much!
How is it when you get back to the house? I can’t sleep a wink indoors after being outdoors for any length of time.
I get up around 5 no matter what...but I go to sleep way earlier in my truck...almost as soon as the sun sets lol!
I see the rod storage, what about reels? Anything fancy or just in a tote...
Just throw them in the white plastic tote closest to the tailgate. I do keep them in the reel cases but nothing more.
How do you keep the dust out of your topper ?
Seal x truck liner along the tailgate and under the back glass has been really helpful. Took 2 rolls (25.00 each) but it has held up. Got about half the second roll left which I use to plug holes as I find them.
@@LooknFishy thank you
We had 2 months of that smoke in Reno.
Crazy!
Nice video again. I recommend you should buy yourself a Range Rover. Excellent car suspension ;-)
Haha...cost more than my house and 3x's more than the one I grew up in!🤣
Drew I'll give you a hundred bucks for that map book with all your tabs on it riding shotgun...
#coolbeans Good episode Drew. We're 21 days away from moving to the Conway area. I'm excited to check out the Little Red. Do you fish in the winter months?
Definitely do, spend most of my time hitting the tailwaters in the winter! The cold kills my batteries but I try to put a few vids up from those trips!
Awesome! Where in Idaho is this?
Don't put the specific location on social media to protect the streams from the pressure that comes from hot spotting these treasures! But I don't mislead or hide them and there are clues in the videos for anyone who follows the adventure.
When you are bushwhacking, how many waders are you going through? Which ones have been the most durable? Great locations to do backcountry fishin. Great videos.
I don't wear waders...summer in the mountains is wet wading season!
What had been your favorite state to fish so far?
Hard to say. It was my first trip to Idaho so it felt more adventurous and the landscape was surprising. Love Colorado and getting more familiar plus a ton of variety in the fish you can target. Definitely looking forward to more time in Idaho, 3 weeks wasn't enough!
@@LooknFishy Do you ever plan on hitting Montana on one of these trips?
@@jasoncartrette6666 I had Montana on the plan but decided to pass this year after hearing how bad the drought and warm conditions were on the fish. Probably add it to next years road trip out west.
I live in Co and my wife is from ID. I learned how to fly fish on Silver Creek many years ago. Come to the Roaring Fork Valley and we’ll float The Fork🤙👊
Boring
Real life generally is. Just sharing what really happens on a 2 month trip. Wish everyday could be epic. Unfortunately I had a few boring days too!
