Ok, watched the entire movie. Amazing. Y’all brought tears to my eyes. I’m a father of 4 and feel so guilty for focusing on my career and providing modern world comfort to my family instead is saying “hey, we’re going camping for a week.” I appreciate you guys.
When I was your son's age I crossed the backcountry of Panama on a mule with my dad. Later we drove the Pan American Highway back to the States. By the time I started college I had driven most of the roads in Colombia with him as he continued his search for endemic viruses. Now at 74, I can guarantee that your kids will remember every aspect of the trips you and Kate take them on for the rest of their lives and they will do the same for their kids. You two are giving them and yourselves the greatest gift there is. Watch the video again. Just look how your daughter looks up to Kate. Congratulations. By the way, looks like you actually had some Type Three Fun as well.
@@BlueADV214 I'm flattered that you even ask. I'm 100% self taught...never tried to make a real video before starting this channel. I do all my own camera work and edits...and just keep trying to get better with every video (doesn't always happen lol).
I guess I'm a little different about what type of roads I like. Every week I go off road here in Arizona and the roads I look for are the ones you hated--slow, bumpy and rough. The ones nobody goes on. But at least we agree that the desert is amazingly beautiful.
To each their own…so cool to hear you get out so much…I’ve only been to Arizona once, but I really want to go back. I love bumpy rough roads, and obstacles, even some rock crawling…but 30 miles of flat dusty washouts aren’t what I was in the mood for lol. But I’d rather be on a dusty washout than sitting on the couch, that’s for sure. Cheers!
Once again another fantastic video. My 79 year old dad is a lifelong Nevada resident and an avid outdoorsman and this is an amazing backcountry tour of the beautiful state. Thanks so much for putting this out for him and all of us to see. I plan on doing this route in the next couple years myself.
Man Will... This is such an impressive film. The story, attention to detail, edit, pace, adventure... I could go on and on. This is one I plan to watch again.
Will, Kate and Kids....You are all dong amazing at life. You should all be so proud. The lessons that are learned on trips like this reverberate throughout the entire lifetime. I love the early morning walk with your son. I love the closeness with your daughter. You and Kate will regret nothing as you grow old together. This video was a real showcase of the relationship that you have as a family. It showed some areas that I am positive were edited for young ears. You got through it. Together. So Cool. I like how you each found and focused on the positive and beauty in every thing that happened, even the washouts. Let us know when the blooper reels get posted.... Thanks again. It motivates me to heal up and get out there...Cheers..
You guys even say Nevada correctly! Live at 5800 feet looking out my back windrow at the Ruby Mountains. Nevada is so beautiful. BTW... Thanks for closing the gate!
This is by far my favorite overlanding channel. Your videos, but maybe more than that, your commentary makes it worth watching. I enjoy those videos a lot. Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪
I'm a new Las Vegas resident who took up the off-roading hobby late in life. Like you, I discovered Nevada has some incredible trails to be explored. Not only that, but I am in striking distance to Utah, Arizona and Southern California. After numerous days on the dusty trail, I hope you and the family have a blast in Vegas. There's a lot to explore there as well. Great job on the video.
Thank you so much. We had a blast in Vegas. The kids loved the lazy river at the MGM...and just taking everything in. It was such a cool way to end the trip. Nevada is severely underrated as a place to explore, I hope you have a blast out there!!!
Welcome to my part of the world. From Vegas, work the Vegas to Reno races. Moved to Middleton two years ago. Finally going back next week for my first race in two years. The Mint 400. Then will be working the Frontier 500 from Pahrump to Dayton in April.
Just had to comment on the Joshua trees. I was born in Idaho, but grew up in the California high desert. Those things grow like weeds out there, but this was such a good reminder for me: “What’s old and boring to you, is new and exciting to someone else.”
I’ve been actually waiting for someone to make a comment like this! It’s how I feel when I show folks parts of Idaho..they are awe-struck…and I’m like “ya that’s another river, big deal”. I was thinking about that when I was enamored by the Joshua Trees.
Great video! When you got stuck in the mud, I would’ve started with the kinetic rope. That’s what Matt always goes to on Matt’s off-road recovery. Even over a winch.
Thank you!! Hindsight is always 20/20. We use traction boards so often, it’s almost always our first option…and we didn’t know just how bad the mud bog was until we tried. MORR is responding to calls where rigs are already very stuck…so bad that they call for help…so starting with a kinetic makes sense for his crew.
I just wanna say the teamwork U2 did during this trip really showed forth, especially with the family outing, which sometimes can be daunting and I really enjoyed the video. Thank you.
That's so cool to hear, thank you! Yes...sometimes having the whole family there can be even more stressfull..and we definitely had our moments lol...but it was kind of rad how everyone pitched in and helped when needed. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
I have friends that do this for fun, they put tow hitch receivers front and rear of both vehicles, this way they can winch from either direction either a hit hitch mounted winch from either vehicle. Maybe this and the kinetic rope gets them through most everything. They also carry a couple ‘Dead man’ spikes in case there’s nothing to winch to.
❤ Wow! More like watching a feel GOOD adventure movie i/we all paid to see!! Great cinematography from ground to aerial footages, well matched music/sound track. Best overland video narration I’ve come across. National Geographic like production of Nevada. Nevada need to promote this video to boost tourism. I am so impressed that almost forgot you drive a 392 Jeep! Haha Thank you for sharing!!
@@Venture2Roam my pleasure brother!’all truth. But it also does take a very special partner/wife to make these family trips successful!!! She’s so calm and collected!! At least on the edited version. Lol same Goes to you. Lol all good. Pros don’t show bloopers and unnecessary drama. Well Sometimes a little drama is good :) to show us your viewers that we are all human and can overcome obstacles. But I/we all know how much work, sacrifice, mutual respect for each other, compromise, communication and overall teamwork to make this family adventure work again and again. :) Proud of her too!!! Good job to your entire fam! We can’t even back up a truck to hitch a trailer without causing an argument. Hahah. Anyway Thanks again to you, your wife and kids!! You guys are awsome. Thanks
Even though I can travel only a small portion of the Nevada BDR in my stock F-350, I’ve been anxiously awaiting this video. I love exploring our state and this inspires me to get my butt out there more often. Well done! Thank you so much!
Perfect to stumble on your video tonight. My son wants to run the Nevada BDR for his highschool graduation trip in 2 yrs on the way to ID to visit some family and we were just talking about this trip.
That sounds like an awesome way to graduate highschool. I hope this vid helps give a sense for what the route is like. We absolutely loved it. We made a movie of the Idaho BDR too...just incase you want to keep heading north once you get to Jarbidge! ruclips.net/video/MUPlKdj9Z8k/видео.htmlsi=aamJkvhgdH-jkdf3
@@Venture2Roam I will check it out. I've seen a couple of your north ID videos. The IDBDR is on the bucket list. We've got family in Mtn home and Meridian.
Amazing video Fowler Family. It had trials and tribulations along the way but accomplishing it together as a family was the icing on the cake. Well also ending the trip in Vegas put the cherry on top. Man, never thought Nevada had so much beautiful terrain. Thanks for always sharing your adventures with us Will 🙌🏽
@@Venture2Roam Yes sir watched the whole thing from start to finish. I liked that with the Mojave as capable as it was at that time I think it gave Kate some experience while it’s stock just so that she gets more familiar with it. I also liked the fact that you guys got out of the trails and treated yourself with some non-camp food. I think you need that sometimes after long stretch of driving. Bro! Oh you’re not alone on hitting the trails together again 🙌🏽
What an amazing adventure! Trials and beautiful scenery and you have a lifetime of adventure in one trip. Your video is your testament to overland adventures to anyone watching this.
I have to say your frustration of the washout roads is that your up against the clock to get back to the daily grind .. picture it now , no clock go 20/30 miles and camp and enjoy it no stress .. I retired at 52 … my pace no stress enjoy it , love what you do and have done .. be proud .. no clock
I feel like you’re just rubbing in our faces that you have more time than us lol. 😀. For better or worse we approached this film with honesty about how we felt during the trip. It was a beautiful trip with twists, turns, and yes time constraints. But all of those things are part of what made it beautiful.
This was fun to watch from your point of view. I live here, and am very familiar with these trails, infact, you literally wheeled right through my backyard on this trip, But to see it from your eyes, I found a whole new appreciation for the beauty here in the great state of Nevada. Very well done. 😊 Thank you.
To get this comment from a local is super meaningful thank you so much. Nevada was a total surprise to us. I find myself thinking about going back all the time now.
Great trip guys! Very cool to see a different side to you Kate--from the planning to taking charge a few times when things got tight and helping Will through the washouts. Also nice to see the Gladiator--my Jeep of choice--getting out there and killin' it. I've said it before, but I love the family aspect to your trips and that it's a big part of why you do this. You know it already, but your kids will not forget this way down their road in life. Thanks for taking us along!
So glad you liked the film. I have to tell you it was a lot of fun working on this with Kate, not just the trip, but she sits next to me while I'm editing and helps me make decisions. The Gladiator is getting some really awesome mods that will make trips like this much easier for Kate next time.
Awesome, thank you. Another bucket list trip to add. You two make a great team and really enjoyed how the family interacted throw it all. Well, done in telling the story but more importantly the experience and the internal knowledge and trust you two gained on this trip. I must admit there was a section that reminded me of the movie - High Plains Drifter.
Great video! Really feel like you captured the moments and portrayed them through video. It’s inspiring to watch that and to try to get my family out instead of just doing this without them. Good job
We were the first 4x4 vehicle to do the Wyoming BDR and we did it solo as well. We got stuck a few times as well. One tool that we took, which saved our butt is a PullPal. This allowed is to self recover in some situations where there was nothing else to winch to.
What a beautiful content! the script is awesome, the editing and the footage are so thoughtful. Thank you so much for putting out such well crafted work!
We love Vegas and the surrounding area...seems like there is an almost infinite amount of exploring you can do out there. So glad you liked the film!!!
Trust me, your children will never forget the adventures you've had! You have planted the seeds of something beautiful yet to come and instilled in them a sense of wonder and adventure.
Thank you! I hope you are right. That's exactly why we think it's important to bring them along. It's ok with me if they become city cats in the long run...but I want them know what it's like to have adventures outside while I still can.
Thanks Chuck. It was hard to convince myself to take out the camera after that..we were so tired…but those are some of my favorite shots from the whole trip.
Great vid. Enjoyed the middle part the most. Drove a lot of those roads when I lived in Round Mountain a couple decades ago. Pretty sure I turned around on that very saddle outside Kingston when my mother came to visit and I was showing her the sights. North Umberland had a herd of wild horses when I was there. Too bad you didn't have more time. Lots of other interesting things too see. Diana's Punch bowl it's hot springs and Belmont are worth the stop. Unsure if it's still passable, but the old stagecoach route from Belmont over Mt. Jefferson is/was pretty epic. I did it once in my ZR2 Blazer. They guys I passed on 4-wheelers thought I was nuts. Family time like that is priceless.
Ya I wish we had more time...I guess we'll just have to go back! Love those Blazers - we get those looks from 4-wheelers and SxSs too...love it. We actually did stop at Belmont, but I didn't film it..it was cool, but we didn't spend enough time there to do it justice with a camera. I want to do the stagecoach trail now!!!
Absolutely loving you videos Will. Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos not only look amazing but are completely engaging and entertaining!!
Great job on the video Will and Kate. Really felt like I was watching a movie. Day 4 - Really looked like home. Lots of terrain like that down here in CA.
I am from the Elko area and frequented that area north of Elko, south of Elko, lived in Austin in the mid 80’s. I used to patrol all of Lander County and Eureka County. You brought back a lot of memories where I used to run amok. You mentioned Kingston Summit and Stokes Castle, (my last name), all favorite places of mine. Good video!
Love this, took me a few days to get through it but loved every minute of it. Love seeing an everyday family doing this and being so open and honest. I'd also love to see, wgat are your thoughts like a few weeks after, you know, once it's all behind you, just 5-10 minutes on what you and Kate and the kids think and how it was
Heck of a film Will! Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. So awesome to see what you and your family were able to accomplish. Definitely inspiring! Keep it up
Fun video! Way to go Kate. I bet hubby will ask you to do more planning. The only thing that bothered me on this adventure was that the kids didn't participate much and it was a LONG drive between stops with not much for them to do. Need to include more kid time and even adventures that they can do and appreciate. It's not all about the parents. We know you have fun, but make sure they are genuinely happy with what they are doing and seeing. Hope you get them involved in the planning as well. Never too young to get involved in the process.
This WAS AWESOME!!! 👏🏼 This film is legendary buddy - what an awesome way to capture this entire adventure! My absolute favorite V2R film yet. I’m going to be watching this again this weekend. 🙌🏼🙌🏼👊🏼👊🏼😄😄
Great film. Thank you for making that and sharing with us. I know that's a lot of extra work in addition to just running the route. I just finished the Florida Adventure Trail this past weekend. It's cool going to those unexpected places and being surprised. Nevada looks amazing in it's own way.
@@Venture2Roam Thank you! I completed it with my father who's in a wheelchair, so that was a cool thing for both of us. Florida is definitely underrated. Some pretty deep water crossings and a good mix of sand, mud and dirt roads. More challenging than people think and is worth doing for sure.
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing! I recently moved to Las Vegas and go Off Roading every weekend. This is such an amazing state! Glad you had the opportunity to experience it! Cheers!
Just retuned from a trio to the SW for a little relief from the snow at our home in the Central Oregon Cascades and next to the Oregon BDR. The Nevada Basin and Range is so amazing. We try to take a couple of trips each year to Nevada to explore that great state.
What a great family adventure!! Wheeling with the wife and kids!.. if you ever make it to southern California definitely visit Joshua Tree national park, You will love it
Absolutely loved this video! I did the NVBDR S to N in November 2022 and never got to section 6 due to the snow and fighting time. It was fun reliving the trail without all the snow!🤣
The snow near Jarbidge can be really nasty. In late Sept we still had a few cold nights, but it was pretty nice weather all around. So glad you liked the video!!!
😂 Kettle chips are an Overland Only treat for us. I’d mail you some, but they’d be dust by the time they arrived 😂. Thanks for the comment…really appreciate it.
I had the opportunity to go to north Nevada in 2018 for field camp for my BS in Geology. We spent a week near Middlegate station hiking all over those mountains looking at rock formations and interpolating what we saw into subsurface maps. I'm originally from the West Texas deserts, which are awe inspiring and empty, but I didn't appreciate how empty a desert could really get until spending time in Nevada. I would love to do the Nevada BDR sometime in the future, hopefully I can find a partner someday as awesome as yours to do it with. Loved the video, thank you for making it for us strangers!
It looked like 10 feet! But I’m not arguing with you. One of my good friends is an F18 pilot who flies through there all the time…I should have asked him before I put it in the video, but it was an incredible sight regardless. You guys/gals who fly for the flag are the best.
Such a cool video, I think Nevada definitely gets forgotten/under rated and just not known enough, you guys really did great at highlighting such a beautiful and diverse place.
@@Venture2Roam yeah dude for sure. You’re welcome! Like you I had a completely different view of what Nevada looked like until this video. The high mountain areas reminds me of parts of Colorado where I’m at. Looking forward to what your future has in store for you.
As much as I love the 392, I feel like I would always have range anxiety on trips like this in one. I love your music choices in this video will, especially 42 minutes in
There was only one time, just outside of Austin, that I had range anxiety. But it’s something I have to plan for on these longer trips for sure. So glad you liked the film!!
Will, you are so lucky to have the opportunity to bring your whole family with you. Especially to have your wife drive a rig and read the map. MAN! I wish I had a partner like her.
I couldn’t agree more. We will do more trips like this. It was awesome to have her be the main navigator..usually that’s my job, and it totally changed the dynamic…loved it.
Ok, watched the entire movie. Amazing. Y’all brought tears to my eyes. I’m a father of 4 and feel so guilty for focusing on my career and providing modern world comfort to my family instead is saying “hey, we’re going camping for a week.” I appreciate you guys.

So glad you liked the film. I have to tell you it was a lot of fun working on this with Kate, not just the trip, but she sits next to me while I'm editing and helps me make decisions. The Gladiator is getting some really awesome mods that will make trips like this much easier for Kate next time.
Awesome, thank you. Another bucket list trip to add. You two make a great team and really enjoyed how the family interacted throw it all. Well, done in telling the story but more importantly the experience and the internal knowledge and trust you two gained on this trip.
I must admit there was a section that reminded me of the movie - High Plains Drifter.
Thank you!! Yes high plains drifter is spot on. It definitely brought Kate and I closer…can’t wait for more adventures like this one.
Great video! Really feel like you captured the moments and portrayed them through video. It’s inspiring to watch that and to try to get my family out instead of just doing this without them. Good job
Thank you so much! More family adventures coming very soon!
I've been waiting for a good neveda bdr overlanding video, and here we go
Right on. Let’s go!
We were the first 4x4 vehicle to do the Wyoming BDR and we did it solo as well. We got stuck a few times as well. One tool that we took, which saved our butt is a PullPal. This allowed is to self recover in some situations where there was nothing else to winch to.
Great tip on the Pull Pal.
What a beautiful content! the script is awesome, the editing and the footage are so thoughtful. Thank you so much for putting out such well crafted work!
Thank you for the kind words!
Wow! Epic trip and a great story! Being a Vegas native, it brings back memories of growing up in Southern Nevada. Thank you for sharing!
We love Vegas and the surrounding area...seems like there is an almost infinite amount of exploring you can do out there. So glad you liked the film!!!
@@Venture2Roam I didn't like it ..... I LOVED IT !!!!
Trust me, your children will never forget the adventures you've had! You have planted the seeds of something beautiful yet to come and instilled in them a sense of wonder and adventure.
Thank you! I hope you are right. That's exactly why we think it's important to bring them along. It's ok with me if they become city cats in the long run...but I want them know what it's like to have adventures outside while I still can.
The wide open spaces really make you feel small and can help give some perspective on the daily grind. Live it up and get out! Great video.
Indeed they do. and Nevada is full of those types of spaces. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! I love your cinematic style and tension in the stuck scene. Great job!
Thank you so much!! So glad you liked it!
@@Venture2Roam still watching! It’s a nice trip and I’d like to get out that way someday and experience it for myself.
It’s super underrated as an off road destination. We’ll definitely go back. Glad to hear you’re still watching!!
Damn this was a good one!
Thank you so much!!
So the shot that you took after you were stuck in the mud bog and you were driving across the desert with the sunset was absolutely beautiful
Thanks Chuck. It was hard to convince myself to take out the camera after that..we were so tired…but those are some of my favorite shots from the whole trip.
Great vid. Enjoyed the middle part the most. Drove a lot of those roads when I lived in Round Mountain a couple decades ago. Pretty sure I turned around on that very saddle outside Kingston when my mother came to visit and I was showing her the sights. North Umberland had a herd of wild horses when I was there. Too bad you didn't have more time. Lots of other interesting things too see. Diana's Punch bowl it's hot springs and Belmont are worth the stop. Unsure if it's still passable, but the old stagecoach route from Belmont over Mt. Jefferson is/was pretty epic. I did it once in my ZR2 Blazer. They guys I passed on 4-wheelers thought I was nuts. Family time like that is priceless.
Ya I wish we had more time...I guess we'll just have to go back! Love those Blazers - we get those looks from 4-wheelers and SxSs too...love it. We actually did stop at Belmont, but I didn't film it..it was cool, but we didn't spend enough time there to do it justice with a camera. I want to do the stagecoach trail now!!!
Absolutely loving you videos Will. Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos not only look amazing but are completely engaging and entertaining!!
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thank you for sharing!
Just echoing what's been said, the narration is spot on and entertaining. Alway excited to see a new video!
Thank you so much! Lots more coming soon!
Great job on the video Will and Kate. Really felt like I was watching a movie. Day 4 - Really looked like home. Lots of terrain like that down here in CA.
Thank you so much! We really loved that part of Nevada/California...it's soooooo different from what we have in Idaho!
Thanks for taking me along with ya'll on the trip and for confirming I need a smartcap for my gladdy
I do like the smart cap!
Another great video and legendary family memories. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you! It was a heck of an adventure. Thanks for taking the time to watch.
What a beautiful trip. The memories are priceless for your family. Awesome job!
Thank you so much!
Especially the landscapes the desert night time 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!
Hello from Caldwell Idaho.. Thank you for taking me on your adventure. I loved it. As far as pronouncing Pahrump.. it is Puh rump.. :)
2C in the House!!!! So glad you liked the vid..and thanks for the pronunciation!! I've been saying it wrong!
Amazing family adventure! And a real pleasure to watch...Need to watch it again! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you!!! And yes please watch it again 🙌🙌
I am from the Elko area and frequented that area north of Elko, south of Elko, lived in Austin in the mid 80’s.
I used to patrol all of Lander County and Eureka County.
You brought back a lot of memories where I used to run amok.
You mentioned Kingston Summit and Stokes Castle, (my last name), all favorite places of mine.
Good video!
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed learning about Nevada and experiencing those places. Can't wait to get back out there!
Love this, took me a few days to get through it but loved every minute of it. Love seeing an everyday family doing this and being so open and honest. I'd also love to see, wgat are your thoughts like a few weeks after, you know, once it's all behind you, just 5-10 minutes on what you and Kate and the kids think and how it was
So glad you enjoyed the movie!!! Kate and I will post a podcast talking about the trip. It's called The American Overlander Podcast.
Magnificent cooperative effort, you two! Nevada was full of surprises! Wow! You're great storytellers and great photography.
Thank you!!
True! Wonderful…
Heck of a film Will! Thoroughly enjoyed watching it. So awesome to see what you and your family were able to accomplish. Definitely inspiring! Keep it up
Thank you so much!! We sat down as a family and watched it together last night..it’s a great memory for sure.
Fun video! Way to go Kate. I bet hubby will ask you to do more planning. The only thing that bothered me on this adventure was that the kids didn't participate much and it was a LONG drive between stops with not much for them to do. Need to include more kid time and even adventures that they can do and appreciate. It's not all about the parents. We know you have fun, but make sure they are genuinely happy with what they are doing and seeing. Hope you get them involved in the planning as well. Never too young to get involved in the process.
Thank you! The kids are very involved throughout. We just don’t put them on camera very much for personal reasons.
This WAS AWESOME!!! 👏🏼 This film is legendary buddy - what an awesome way to capture this entire adventure! My absolute favorite V2R film yet. I’m going to be watching this again this weekend. 🙌🏼🙌🏼👊🏼👊🏼😄😄
Brooooooo. Thank you. Massive compliment coming from you.
Well done to both of you! Well done. Video was a great watch. I love following your adventures. Now even I am sick of washouts haha!
Thank you so much!! Ya don’t ever make a drinking game out of the word washouts in this movie 😂.
Great film. Thank you for making that and sharing with us. I know that's a lot of extra work in addition to just running the route.
I just finished the Florida Adventure Trail this past weekend. It's cool going to those unexpected places and being surprised. Nevada looks amazing in it's own way.
Congrats on the FAT!! That’s one I’d like to do one day.
@@Venture2Roam Thank you! I completed it with my father who's in a wheelchair, so that was a cool thing for both of us. Florida is definitely underrated. Some pretty deep water crossings and a good mix of sand, mud and dirt roads. More challenging than people think and is worth doing for sure.
Love this video! It was like a movie that I wanted to keep watching for hours 😊
That’s so awesome to hear!! More like this one coming soon!!
Will, your drone footage is LITERALLY EPIC!
Thank you!!!
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing! I recently moved to Las Vegas and go Off Roading every weekend. This is such an amazing state! Glad you had the opportunity to experience it! Cheers!
There is sooooooo much to explore in NV. We barely scratched the surface. Hope you are having a blast out there right now!
What an awesome trip, and a great place to end! Fantastic video
Thank you so much!!!
Definitely need to ride that one! Thanks for sharing!
It’s a fantastic route!
Just retuned from a trio to the SW for a little relief from the snow at our home in the Central Oregon Cascades and next to the Oregon BDR. The Nevada Basin and Range is so amazing. We try to take a couple of trips each year to Nevada to explore that great state.
There's certainly no shortage of areas to explore in Nevada! Sounds you are getting out there a bunch, that's awesome!
Cool adventure in Nevada!!! I just keep racking up bucket list items watching your videos!
Thank you so much!
Spent many days in the desert of Laughlin. Honestly my kid's favorite race.
Excellent adventure. I have run a few of the trails you were on in southern Nevada. Many places to wheel in southern Nevada.
I feel like we just scratched the surface in Nevada.
Well done 🎉 Epically Narrated and filmed ❤
Thank you!!
I really enjoyed. Thank you. I am moving to Nevada this month. You gave me a lot of ideas as to where I should go with my Jeep. Thank you!!
So glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have a blast exploring Nevada. We sure did.
Such a great movie! Your storytelling just keeps getting better!
Thank you so much!!!
I had no idea there was so much to see in Nevada, time to start planning another trip! What a great video, thanks for making it!
Thanks Ian. Nevada was really surprising to us too.
What a great family adventure!! Wheeling with the wife and kids!.. if you ever make it to southern California definitely visit Joshua Tree national park, You will love it
Joshua Tree NP is definitely on my list. I have to say though...just over the border in NV, it was pretty great to have it all to ourselves!
Awesome video and trip. Way to trudge through to the end.
Thank you!!!
Absolutely loved this video! I did the NVBDR S to N in November 2022 and never got to section 6 due to the snow and fighting time. It was fun reliving the trail without all the snow!🤣
The snow near Jarbidge can be really nasty. In late Sept we still had a few cold nights, but it was pretty nice weather all around. So glad you liked the video!!!
This was an awesome adventure!! Great storytelling. Also we really miss Kettle chips.... lol
😂 Kettle chips are an Overland Only treat for us. I’d mail you some, but they’d be dust by the time they arrived 😂. Thanks for the comment…really appreciate it.
Man what a trip and I’m so jealous you guys in the US have all this land to explore! Awesome!
Thank you! Ya, we’re so lucky out here…it’s incredible the places we can go!!
Yall had the longest & hardest travel of any BDR I’ve ever seen!! 😂😂😂😂I’d be tired & wanting vegas too!!
Not gonna lie...Vegas was awesome at the end of that trip! Thank you so much for watching!!!!
I had the opportunity to go to north Nevada in 2018 for field camp for my BS in Geology. We spent a week near Middlegate station hiking all over those mountains looking at rock formations and interpolating what we saw into subsurface maps. I'm originally from the West Texas deserts, which are awe inspiring and empty, but I didn't appreciate how empty a desert could really get until spending time in Nevada. I would love to do the Nevada BDR sometime in the future, hopefully I can find a partner someday as awesome as yours to do it with. Loved the video, thank you for making it for us strangers!
Nevada really blew me away too..I've never experienced anything like that before. So glad you liked the movie!!
Amazing adventure…. Definitely on my bucket list, thank you so much for sharing your family adventure, greatly appreciated! ❤️😊
Nevada is a great place to put on your list. So glad to hear folks are enjoying the family adventures!
Amazing movie Will!!! Great driving Kate! Keep up the awesome content!
Thank you so much!!
1:09:20 I’ve flown F-18s through there. It’s not 50 feet. 200 is our minimum altitude. But it’s a lot lower than people are used to.
It looked like 10 feet! But I’m not arguing with you. One of my good friends is an F18 pilot who flies through there all the time…I should have asked him before I put it in the video, but it was an incredible sight regardless. You guys/gals who fly for the flag are the best.
@@Venture2Roam what's his name or callsign? I might know him. It's a small navy
@@chrisridebike8 dm me on IG or FB…just in case he doesn’t want his name in my comments lol.
Awesome to have all that money and effort to drive through Nevada.
Highways in some states, awesome too.
Such a cool video, I think Nevada definitely gets forgotten/under rated and just not known enough, you guys really did great at highlighting such a beautiful and diverse place.
Thank you so much!! Honestly I wasn’t sold on doing Nevada..it was Kate’s idea..but once we got into I was blown away.
Hey Will. You sure have came a long way. I’m super stoked for you.
Thank you so much!!!
@@Venture2Roam yeah dude for sure. You’re welcome! Like you I had a completely different view of what Nevada looked like until this video. The high mountain areas reminds me of parts of Colorado where I’m at. Looking forward to what your future has in store for you.
As much as I love the 392, I feel like I would always have range anxiety on trips like this in one. I love your music choices in this video will, especially 42 minutes in
There was only one time, just outside of Austin, that I had range anxiety. But it’s something I have to plan for on these longer trips for sure. So glad you liked the film!!
Hey! You used my quote, nice. Great adventure Will, we're heading down there in May all the way to Yuma.
It’s a great quote!!! May might be tough getting over the some of the passes. I’ll be interested to hear how your trip goes!
@@Venture2Roam the route I have been planning will only hit some of the BDR, going in May so we don't get cooked in southern Arizona.
Leave it to Will, to say, “I probably shouldn’t do it this way, but I’m gonna,” and immediately regret it.
😂😂😂 some things never change.
We head down from Boise to Bullhead every other Thanksgiving for a week of off-roading. Love that area…we always have to make a stop in oatman too
I'd never been down there...and was totally shocked at the area around Bullhead City. Just incredible..and there was no one out there! Crazy.
@@Venture2Roam man, that drive is a butt kicker, driving the freeway the whole time. Super impressed you two did it on the BDR!
Also, what a winding way to het thru Nevada. Oh my old stomping grounds. Lived in Tonoaph.and Vegas
I'm so excited to watch this. I'm 5 seconds in and I'm already pumped.
Right on man. It’s been such a long time coming. So happy to finally have it out there.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing this trip!
So glad you liked it!
SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS. At work right now, but watching tonight 100% SO AWESOME WILL!! 🎉🎉🎉
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Can’t wait to hear what you think!
awesome vlog . nothing like a family road trip
Thank you!!
What a great trip and video documentary. Thank you
Thank you so much, so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!! More to come soon.
What an amazing family adventure!
Thank you!!
Will, you are so lucky to have the opportunity to bring your whole family with you. Especially to have your wife drive a rig and read the map. MAN! I wish I had a partner like her.
I couldn’t agree more. We will do more trips like this. It was awesome to have her be the main navigator..usually that’s my job, and it totally changed the dynamic…loved it.
