![This trail took us EIGHT days to complete! (Washington Backcountry Discovery Route) [ep 141]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lk8bNm8U8vI/mqdefault.jpg)
Good job praying !!!
Same as we do at home. Amen.
Overlanding with family and friends. Nothing better than that
Couldn't agree more. We hope to encourage others to do more of it!
Heck yah!! Looks like an amazing adventure! Hello from Wenatchee!
Thanks so much for watching. Will we see you at the North West Overland Rally? Very close to home for you!
Takes two grouse. Gets new subscriber! America - Family - Life. Good production.
Thank you for subscribing! We love our grouse meat dinners.
Hi Patrick. We finally found your content. Great job with filming. Danny and robbie say hi to your boys they had a blast at the rally. Less then 30 days to alaska!!!
Thank you so much for watching. How was Alaska? We really enjoyed our trip.
such an amazing family and video as well great job! 🎉
Thank you so much!
Good job glad you enjoyed. Nice family! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching. We love our little family.
So nice to take a trip like this with the family God bless you. Super nice video
Thank you so much. We love to travel as a family. Appreciate you watching!
Excellent cinematography! I thoroughly enjoyed the video, your storyline and pace is spot on.
Thank you so much for such a nice comment. So happy you enjoyed it.
Looks like a good time!
Was a total blast. Thank you for watching.
Awesome vid guys. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for watching!
Perspective super well Done. Never made time yet to head out on these trails.
Thank you for the compliment. We suggest you make time and go do it!
Great video..👍
Thank you for the compliment.
I can’t wait for the next one!
We can't wait either. Where should we go?
@@ruggeddestinations7633 Hands down, Idaho BDR…
@@danny_coldstone Deal!
Thank you, great BDR info.. Summer of 2023 for me, 1998 Cherokee and trailer with 2 modified F150s at that time..
Sound like fun. We used to have, and love, an XJ.
Incredible video and journey! Your sub count will be 1K+ in no time with content like this. So awesome. New subscriber, looking forward to future content! 🎉
Such a vote of confidence. Thank you so much! Appreciate the support.
Awesome video! thank you for sharing! It's great to see a family going out and capturing the adventure. Too often it's the "Single man camping" like my wife calls it.
If you can add a bit more "This is what worked/Didn't work" as a family it would be awesome for us family types. (i.e What kept the boys busy? how often were your stops?...etc?)
Thank you for watching. It's our hope that we can support adventuring families. If you look at our BLOG section on our website we have lots of informational content. I'll add back seat entertainment to the short list of BLOGs. Expect to have that write up later this week.
I’m hung up on the rotopax stuck on the doors. Is that to make getting T-boned a more extravagant experience
Makes refueling a little easier. Haven't crash tested them though
I really loved this video! Just finished the whole thing. I've got a family of 6 so it's inspiring to see your family of 4 make it along that route. It looked like a fantastic way to make memories with the family! We are in Western Washington and have been exploring the cascades locally as we are new to overlanding just the last couple of months. The BDR trip is on my list of future adventures.
Random question, but what did you use for a bathroom? I know there are many options, just curious what you ended up using.
We have a Subaru Ascent, skid plates, all terrain tires on smaller wheels. Next adding prinsu rack and some storage. We'd like to get a 270 awning, perhaps one that converts into a tent since I don't think we can fit all 6 of us in a rooftop tent. :) and I'd rather not carry our regular huge tent we usually use for campsite camping.
Thank you so much for watching! Please subscribe to follow along with our future adventures. The BDR is magical, highly recommend.
For the bathroom we just use the cat hole method. Our family has a history of backpacking, so this method came natural.
Many of the 270 awnings have wall options, and could definitely be converted into a sleeping space.
Awesome video. Nice work on the camera action! What editing software did you use to complete this?
Thank you so much for the comment. We use Final Cut Pro X.
Love the video! So much appreciate the lens into your family experience, as often I'm only seeing just a couple or a single dude going out. We're a family with three little girls, are in the mountains often overlanding in our Vanagon. Couple questions: Can this BDR be done with a 2WD lifted Vanagon? And how much of the day were you needing to spend driving?
Thank you so much for watching! So happy to hear that you all travel as a family. On average we got on the trail around 9am, would have many breaks throughout the day, and finish driving around 5pm. We had a daily goal of 75 miles. That proved to be very attainable. The Vanagon is doable, but I would be very careful about timing and weather conditions. Many of the roads are high elevation. One bad snow or rain storm could create a bad situation with only 2WD.
Thank you! Look forward to seeing your content, and I’ll see you out there!
That’s incredible, 4 day without a Chrysler product breaking down…amazing.
I guess you could say we got lucky! 😂😂😂
So far my hellcat and rubicon are just fine.
More amazing that his friend didn't know you can find rocks in the wilderness. And logs. And pick them up for exercise. Instead of traveling hundreds of miles with 35 pounds of useless steel. 😂
Hi great video, what size tires on the jeep and how low do you let the air pressure down to?
We are running 37" tires on a 17" wheel. On rocks and mud we go down to 15 psi. On snow we will go down to 10 psi. Thanks so much for watching.
Great video, it's all about making those memories with family. What kind of mpg you're getting with your setup?
Thanks for watching Delvin. We get 18 mpg on the highway and 14 mpg on the trail.
@@ruggeddestinations7633 that's not bad. Hoping to have a similar setup in a year or so.
You should do a build video. Thanks again for sharing this adventure.
@@delvinmorales9458 We will make a build video happen. What components of the vehicle are you most interested in learning about?
@@ruggeddestinations7633 Besides wheels, tires, and other vehicle upgrades camping organization and gear is always interesting to see.
Looks like you had a blast!
Nothing like spending time in Gods country (The Great Outdoors) with friends and family!
We had so much fun. Thank you for watching Austin.
Great trip! What is the time of year you did this?
Thank you for watching. We did this trip in early October. Got very lucky with weather.
What camera do you use at 1:00 into the video ?
That's our A camera. Its an A7RIII with a rode mic on top.
Might be an odd question, but your son has the identical same rabbit my youngest has. We can't find it's backup, and it's getting really old. Do you by any chance remember where you bought it/what it's called? I think we found ours at a safeway, something like 8 years ago.
We bought ours from Target on clearance 7 years ago! I haven't seen them anywhere since that day, unfortunately. Our son's bunny has undergone a few surgeries to get a 'lift'.
@@ruggeddestinations7633 Yup, same. New feet. New ear liners... Now in need of some new stuffing.
We found a jellycat version that was ever so close, but not quite right, for just in case.
A couple of near miss store rescues behind us now... Had no idea how important the rabbit would be when purchasing. We bought it while grocery shopping :D
Many thanks for the reply.

Great coverage of the WABDR. It’s my goal to do it next year. Any parts where a small off-road trailer would be difficult? What time of year did you do this? ❤️🏔🌲
A trailer would be a challenge on some the switch back sections. Would depend on the tow vehicle. It's definitely doable with a trailer though. We did the trip the first week in October. Normal season is from July-October. Just depends on snow load.
