This is only the second video i have watched from this channel and I'm hooked. So real. Makes me happy to see families out there like our parents dragged us. Best times ever.
I came to Venture2Roam in hopes if finding some good information about overlanding. What I found and really wasn't prepared for was incredible stories about family, parenting, marriage, friendship and everything else that goes along with adventuring with family and friends. We spent several summers traveling the US with our kids when they were young in our RV. Your videos bring back so many happy memories and the one thing you said in this movie series that stuck with me the most was your kids will tell these stories at thanksgiving dinners. You have no idea how true that is. We listen to our kids tell the stories of our adventures and it makes us so grateful for doing them. Thank you for making these, you have cracked the code on how to squeeze the most out of life and document it at the same time. As I was watching the end as you parked on sandy hill to watch the sunset, I couldn't help but think, everyone was mezmorized by the beauty. But one person was flying that drone so all the rest of us could enjoy it too. THANK YOU!
As I watch this trip I say Next time take a week longer and stop and smell the sagebrush. At high speeds you miss the small things that make so many areas special. If you have to drive fast drive the interstate or highways. Trails and backroads need to be driven slowly and enjoyed. This is just were I come from. We just returned from a short trip to Maury Mts south east of Prineville, Oregon two nights three days and only one other rig each day. Many times we have come up a rural state highway and find a herd hundreds of cattle being moved down the highway to new pastures. You just set back and wait for the cowboys to motion you through the herd. I do love Oregon backcountry.
Great advice. And we did actually stop and smell the sagebrush…Oh we smelled plenty of sagebrush. There’s a lot I didn’t show because it’s boring to watch stop much slow stuff.
I sure don't feel the fatigue you had as you arrived the sunset on the beach... but I also don't quite feel the pure elation you do of landing at the beach at sunset time. WOW. Incredible. Great vid. Loved the series.
Actually, you do them very well justice. :) It was a very well deserved reward after your long haul. I can't wait for the future videos when you complete the mapping. @@Venture2Roam
Good morning Everyone, what an amazing job on the video ! It’s crazy how plans don’t always work out… or how they actually do ! Turning one onto new sites, two sided adventures & relived memories ! So roll up your Bobby-socks & get your feet wet from time to time ! Nature has a way of reminding one to stop every now & then. Enjoy a Sunrise, or Sunset, the Wind in your Hair & when possible get out & Laugh a Smile… moooving & stretching the third leg.. Great Adventure & Keep Smiling !
Great video. Love that you include your families on some of these trips and that you don’t take yourselves to seriously (other than on the professional quality videos you consistently produce). Keep up the good work!
Thank you for saying that. I value leading with humility, it's something I think is essential for overlanding since you have to be able to admit you're wrong a lot (or at least I do). But in the end...this is vacation, it's sight seeing..so any time I start taking myself too seriously, one of my friends brings me back to reality (Ryan's impersonation of me). Really appreciate your support!
Wow such a great trip. It’s so great to see a trip like this. I’m also a father of 2 young kids. So seeing a real life experience is so refreshing. I like other channels for their hardcore do the trip at all cost. But for me personally I loved seeing you make hard decisions based off safety and knowing you have a family with you. I’m so grateful to have found your journey. Thank you.
Thanks Matt. What a crazy trip that was...my favorite edits to date. Thanks for staying up late and hanging out during the premiere too man, that was awesome.
Oh I’ve been out there… I must of gone through fifty fence gates… I saw pronghorns running across the road.. got stuck in a mud bog.. so crazy cool. I did that water crossing solo :)
Well you know how that road ends then...so frustrating..but also it was a bad route on my part...especially if we're going to share the route with others...because that area wouldn't handle increased traffic well. It's the most broken part of the route in my mind...but I love a good challenge, and really want to make a fun route to the Sarah Chambers gravesite...that was a story I didn't get to tell in this video because we had to bypass the site all together..it's absolutely beautiful country out there though!
WOW... Sunset was simply amazing and that you got to capture it on video at the same time, just in time, was amazing... living well and showing your kids the way. Nicely Done!
Thank you!!! It was a pretty incredible moment with the whole group. The kids remember...Moes for clam chowder...but I think they'll look back at some point and be like..."Thanks Dad"....we'll see 😜
Thank you so much for saying that, it's a super meaningful comment. This one was my favorite video project to date...I felt like I got better at editing on this one...but ultimately, I just hope folks enjoy the ride, it was quite an adventure!
I've said it before, but I love to see you Will get out with some great friends and family having fun. Clearly these trips don't come off without some frustrations, and I like that you don't totally try to hide that. But you persevered through it. Elsha, I have to say that your positive attitude is infectious, but the whole group seems to keep it on the bright side. Love it!
Florence was a gem. We grabbed some grub at Moes, got ice cream, and walked around town before getting our OHV permits to drive on the beach. Really cool town.
Thank you sir...next two trip vids are in Idaho...and they are both doozies...cannot wait to share those. Thanks for being a great supporter of the channel, I really appreciate it!
@@Venture2Roam Thanks for the kind words. I didn’t run into you at the PNW Overland expo, but hopefully I can say hi at next years. I’ll keep a bottle of bourbon handy if there is another whiskey meet up.
Loved the different style, we always love watching more live action talking etc vs more narration, those small town America stops are he best!!! Paisley looked really neat
Thanks..I'm trying to shoot more of the action on trips and do less voiceover..show instead of tell. Paisley was a gem of the trip..the guy at the gas station saved our bacon because he gave us updates on the trail and roads we were planning to take.
@@Venture2Roam this was a real nice balance, all your stuff is always good. I think it makes it more personal with less narration. There is a balance somewhere and I think you found it.
I grew up near the North Umpqua river, its lovely country and my uncle lived near Florence where your camping by the beach, been over that bridge a thousand times.
So cool to hear that. I grew up in Eastern Oregon and Idaho, so while I’ve been West many times, I’ve never done it like that. We loved the Florence area!
@@Venture2Roam I heard your wife say her grandparents had a place on the Umpqua so I assumed around Elkton or Scottsburg, not really many people along the main Umpqua at all, nice and unpopulated the way I like it.
Sweden is in the house!! That's so cool. Thank you for taking the time to watch...it was an incredible adventure, can't wait to share more of them with you.
This video made me want to go out and get an overland vehicle and start adventuring! Florence is great, basically the whole Oregon Dunes area is so much fun!
Thank you! We're actually headed out this weekend to work on the route. Hoping to have it finished before the end of the year, but it's been hard to squeeze it in with all of our other trips. Can't wait to be able to share it though.
What an epically amazing and beautiful video to end this Oregon trip series!! Your videos truly inspire me to keep building on my overlanding journey and to continue sharing it with my family and friends like you do!!
That is so cool to hear. I loved making these videos. This was my favorite video project to date...so cool to hear you're getting out there with your family!!!
Awesome video Will! Love the adventure you guys had on this trip, so many challenges but you got through them all and had an epic ending at the ocean! 👍
Makes me so happy to read this comment...so glad this story/video was a good part of your day, that's probably the highest compliment I can get from someone.
Such an incredible adventure! I'm sure routes like the one you're trying to establish take years to develop, so much trial and error. The decision to run to the beach was hard, but I agree... the right one. There will be other opportunities to wrap up that route and I'm sure it will continuously evolve after... I can't wait to see the end result so we can run it too! Great series man... love your videos!
Thank you! I'm actually working on the route this weekend...hoping to wrap it all up by the end of the year. It's so cool to hear you like the series and vids. More coming soon..working a couple really fun Idaho vids right now..can't wait to share!
Nice video, I share in the spirit of adventure , and I have to tell you , not every adventure should require a chainsaw LOL , glad you saw the majic in this one , I saw it on the children's faces ... It can't always be about us ,
Astoria Oregon is absolutely beautiful. And Lewis and Clark Campground is a state park and I can’t tell you how beautiful that park is and how big it is. If I remember right, you can actually camp on the beach literally and you can drive on the beach for miles.
Thank you very much will great video we are heading out to the Oregon coast next week I try to visit at least once a year since I’m from there Don and Donna Hope Idaho
Will and crew thanks for another great video. You continue to set the bar for creators. You have such an amazing group to travel with. Good mates amazing adventures, that is living 😁
Great trip! Great video. I wish you could have finished the trip off-road instead of taking the highway, but it was a long trip with some severe re-routes! I'd love to make a trip like that someday, especially with the end result like that. I would have jumped in the ocean during the sunset just to wash some of the dust off. Lol. Great series of videos!
Lol...same..I wish we could have done it right the first time..but it's all part of the adventure..and it gives me a reason to go back..the kids def wanted to jump in the ocean...until they got their feet wet and started shivering lol.
Good video. I am planning to do a similar trek and will use your video for reference. It was fun to see you show up on the sand. I own a 3acre camp ground on the Oregon Dunes south of Florence and want my trip to focus on that destination. leaving from my home in north central idaho Good job, I find it very stressful leading a group and trying to satisfy everyone's expectations.
Arriving in Florence was amazing. That route was a ton of fun..but it was also not super easy to put together. Looking forward to making it available when it's done. And I agree, leading a group can be taxing. I love it, but I also love those trips when I get time to myself.
Hey Will, how are you liking our weather? Hoping all is well for you. I read in the early comments that the coordinates/route you took will be finished, soon?. Any updates on that front? Might they be on your Patreons site? I would gladly go there to obtain thise coordinates. My wife and I are making the trip in August and would really appreciate not having to plan the route. Ive done smaller route planning and well, im not much of a fan of it. I know how much effort you had to have put in.......100 plus hours, ive no doubt. Ive watched this video more than once and im sure a couple more times between now and August. Keep it rubber side down......hope to see you on the trails.
Great videos! I have a question. As you guys were driving thru the central Cascades, one of the ladies mentioned going to see her grandparents on the north Umpqua> i was curious whereabouts they lived. I grew up in Roseburg hunting and fishing up the North Umpqua before moving elsewhere to make a living.
I never used to think that way…but after this trip..I’m realizing that exploring an area means you’re going to hit dead ends..and if I just stop and appreciate the journey, it’s pretty great.
Tried to follow along from clues on OnX and Gaia, but I couldn't find any through trails, forest roads or mvum where you were. Guess I need more practice with the apps.
Ya I left a bunch of clues in the videos..but it's hard to follow because I made some mistakes initially. The section from Phillips lake to Burns needs the most attention right now..working on that one soon. Will share when it's all done.
I watch a lot of your guises channels, not yours, but also the people you ride with. do you guys ever give your locations to where you’re going and the locations that you stop at.
We don’t post coords. But there’s enough information in the vids to put the routes together. This route will be available once it’s complete as we’re made for that purpose.
I have had the same experience, drive a long way on BLM roads in Central and Eastern Oregon and then come to a gate marked Private No Trespassing. Dead heading is a bummer.
lol...sometimes you just have to go for it. I actually used two different versions of the cold play song and spliced them together at a few different sections. It's actually not that bad because I use a licensing service that includes some charted music..but there are restrictions on how I can use it (why you don't see any sponsor stuff in these vids). Licensing info is in the description if you want to see the service I use.
Just an FYI, you keep saying "Central Oregon" (and I keep cringing, lol) your not in Central Oregon by any Oregonian's definition, you were in Southeast Oregon, we consider "Central Oregon" as around Bend, Madras, La Pine, Fossil and Prineville region. Enjoyed your trip, new subscriber.
That’s so funny. I grew up in Eastern Oregon and what you describe we’d call the western edge of central. SE to me is Alvord. Central to me starts at Burns and ends at Bend.
@@Venture2Roam That is odd I never met anyone call Burns Central Oregon and I have family in Joseph and close friends in Baker and in Ontario, its in the Eastern third of the state for sure if you drew equal lines of the state into thirds, but its all good. I love your videos, I am just a Karen when its comes to geography, lol.
Not possible to drive off rd on Forest rds from east to west , china now owns most are private timber n lock gates n block rds we used to build this state .
There’s nothing wrong with a little pavement though. BDRs are the same..you go from dirt to pavement..but it’s primarily off road. This route will be similar. It is a shame though.
The map wasn’t the problem. I have OnX and Gaia has public/private layers too. It was a public road with a locked gate…but I should have known better than to try and route through any private lands.

"You pretty confident?"
"Absolutely not, but lets keep going"
Words to live by.
Lol!!! You that’s Overlanding for me in a nutshell 😂
This is only the second video i have watched from this channel and I'm hooked. So real. Makes me happy to see families out there like our parents dragged us. Best times ever.
YES! I’m so glad you found us! Lots more coming soon!

Don't change anything about how you produce the videos - commentary, music, people its all great and it MAKES MY DAY. Thanks Neill Bairstow
Thank you so much!!
For me, this is one of the best thumbnails I’ve ever seen.
For sure!!!
Thank you! I agree. I didn’t even color grade it. That’s actually how it looked. Just incredible.
I sure don't feel the fatigue you had as you arrived the sunset on the beach... but I also don't quite feel the pure elation you do of landing at the beach at sunset time. WOW. Incredible. Great vid. Loved the series.
Thank you!!! It’s hard to capture those extremes..I never do the trips justice with these vids, but sometimes I can kind of get the essence of it.
Actually, you do them very well justice. :) It was a very well deserved reward after your long haul. I can't wait for the future videos when you complete the mapping. @@Venture2Roam
Loved it! Great work as always buddy!
Thank Fletch...and thanks for hanging during the premiere..we broke another record..so cool. Can't wait to see your Wyoming vid(s)!!!
Gotta get on those, haha. @@Venture2Roam
Oregon is absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed our time there this summer. Thanks for sharing this!
I agree..what a great state. Glad to hear you got to experience it!!
@@Venture2Roam Oregon would be perfect if we could just kick the Portland area out of the state, lol. I loved your dig at them.
@deanfirnatine7814 😂 It used to be one of my favorite cities..I hope it will be again some day.

So good!!!!! Thanks once again. Amazing job, as usual!!!!!
Thank you!!!! So glad to hear you enjoyed it. It was my favorite video project to date.
Great journey and excellent series! That drive in to the beach and the sunset was gorgeous and a great way to cap off the trip
Thanks dude. It was a bananas moment with the sun..that footage isn't even color graded...it was just bonkers.

Thank you so much! It’s so cool to read comments like this. We love sharing these adventures..the good and the bad parts of them.
Right through our old stomping grounds. solid adventure!
Right on!!
Glad to see the ending... Florence is one of our favorite spots to camp and play! Thanks for a great edit
Florence was a gem. We grabbed some grub at Moes, got ice cream, and walked around town before getting our OHV permits to drive on the beach. Really cool town.
@@Venture2Roam you guys did well! Good times

Awesome, thank you for taking us along.

lol. anytime :)
I grew up near the North Umpqua river, its lovely country and my uncle lived near Florence where your camping by the beach, been over that bridge a thousand times.

Thanks Mike! And thanks for helping us locate places we could camp near the beach!
❤ what an Adventure!!
Total adventure from start to end...like NOTHING went as planned lol..but it's one heck of a memory. Thank you for watching!
Just another incredible piece of work.

Ya - we're headed out this weekend to redo the Wallowa section...hoping to get it all done before the end of the year.
Hey Will, how are you liking our weather? Hoping all is well for you. I read in the early comments that the coordinates/route you took will be finished, soon?. Any updates on that front? Might they be on your Patreons site? I would gladly go there to obtain thise coordinates. My wife and I are making the trip in August and would really appreciate not having to plan the route. Ive done smaller route planning and well, im not much of a fan of it. I know how much effort you had to have put in.......100 plus hours, ive no doubt. Ive watched this video more than once and im sure a couple more times between now and August. Keep it rubber side down......hope to see you on the trails.
I still need to re-run two sections of it…but I may publish parts of it before it’s complete.
Great series! Are you going to share the GPX for your route? Love exploring Oregon’s outback and would be great to follow along.
Thank you! We will make it available as soon as we work out the kinks.
Great videos! I have a question. As you guys were driving thru the central Cascades, one of the ladies mentioned going to see her grandparents on the north Umpqua> i was curious whereabouts they lived. I grew up in Roseburg hunting and fishing up the North Umpqua before moving elsewhere to make a living.
They lived right on the Umpqua river. When we finish the route, it will go right by it.
Some of the best times and beautiful things I have seen was where everyone else hadn’t been and we had to turn around….
I never used to think that way…but after this trip..I’m realizing that exploring an area means you’re going to hit dead ends..and if I just stop and appreciate the journey, it’s pretty great.
@@Venture2Roam I live on a schedule for work traveling, when I’m out and about I have learned to relax and enjoy it
Great video series.
Can I drive your 392 on the beach?
If I can drive your Tundra...I be that thing would haul.
@@Venture2Roam you can drive it, but the 37s have made it sluggish!
Let's finish it!
Hope you enjoyed it!!
Tried to follow along from clues on OnX and Gaia, but I couldn't find any through trails, forest roads or mvum where you were. Guess I need more practice with the apps.
Ya I left a bunch of clues in the videos..but it's hard to follow because I made some mistakes initially. The section from Phillips lake to Burns needs the most attention right now..working on that one soon. Will share when it's all done.
Is there away to get coordinates? I'd like to go through Oregon in a couple weeks by myself. Maybe the route you took?
Thanks
This route isn't ready yet. It should be by the end of this year/beginning of next.
I watch a lot of your guises channels, not yours, but also the people you ride with. do you guys ever give your locations to where you’re going and the locations that you stop at.
We don’t post coords. But there’s enough information in the vids to put the routes together. This route will be available once it’s complete as we’re made for that purpose.
I have had the same experience, drive a long way on BLM roads in Central and Eastern Oregon and then come to a gate marked Private No Trespassing. Dead heading is a bummer.
It was a total bummer…but it’s all part of the adventure! It’s much easier to say that now.
Weather bug app has a really good part for monitoring lightning
Great tip, I'll check it out!
Where did you get those skid plates that you have underneath your jeep at? And can I get them for a 3500HD truck?
The skids are from Metalcloak: bit.ly/3OOmO5o
awesome cool enjoyable really 😎😎👏
Thank you!!
Will how expensive is it too use Coldplay?! You're insane dude
lol...sometimes you just have to go for it. I actually used two different versions of the cold play song and spliced them together at a few different sections. It's actually not that bad because I use a licensing service that includes some charted music..but there are restrictions on how I can use it (why you don't see any sponsor stuff in these vids). Licensing info is in the description if you want to see the service I use.
What mapping system/app are you using?
We use all of them. I like Gaia the best..but use OnX and TrailsOfftoad too.
Just an FYI, you keep saying "Central Oregon" (and I keep cringing, lol) your not in Central Oregon by any Oregonian's definition, you were in Southeast Oregon, we consider "Central Oregon" as around Bend, Madras, La Pine, Fossil and Prineville region. Enjoyed your trip, new subscriber.
Yep, Dean's right. But at least you saw some nice country whatever it's called.
That’s so funny. I grew up in Eastern Oregon and what you describe we’d call the western edge of central. SE to me is Alvord. Central to me starts at Burns and ends at Bend.
@@Venture2Roam That is odd I never met anyone call Burns Central Oregon and I have family in Joseph and close friends in Baker and in Ontario, its in the Eastern third of the state for sure if you drew equal lines of the state into thirds, but its all good. I love your videos, I am just a Karen when its comes to geography, lol.
Chris, people would notice you camping in Portland, you guys don't have blue tarps on your rooftop tents 😂
😂😂😂😎😎😎
Not possible to drive off rd on Forest rds from east to west , china now owns most are private timber n lock gates n block rds we used to build this state .
There’s nothing wrong with a little pavement though. BDRs are the same..you go from dirt to pavement..but it’s primarily off road. This route will be similar. It is a shame though.
It' fun to watch people ogle at what we kinda take for granted. But then I'm headed for Idaho in October. Ooh! Ahh!
Lol. It’s all a matter of perspective I guess, which is why travel is so important IMO.
Someone recently told me that golden hour is for losers. I'm not sure what he meant by that.
I think he said Golden Shower…
@@Venture2Roam oh right, that makes more sense.
You should have ripped some donuts at the beach...just saying. Otherwise everything done right. Good channel
You’re it wrong lol. I may have done that off camera 😎 Thank you so much for the support🙌
@@Venture2Roam excellent 👌🏻
Get onX offroad, solves these issues
The map wasn’t the problem. I have OnX and Gaia has public/private layers too. It was a public road with a locked gate…but I should have known better than to try and route through any private lands.
That was a great video! Sent you a message on IG..
Thank you!!! Will reply to that DM as soon as I can...appreciate your support!!!
