We'll Never Do THIS Again... | Overlanding + Food + Rock Climbing (Alabama Hills, CA)

As we are patiently waiting for winter to show up in Lake Tahoe, we got a sudden urge to drive in the truck and go camping on some amazing BLM land in Alabama Hills, CA. With our off the cuff decision making and lack of preparation, we ran into a... shall we say... blustery issue. This wasn’t our favorite overlanding trip but there were a few lessons to be learned: Always check the weather before going outdoors and NATURE DONT PLAY! Enjoy :)

Such a good video!!! I camped at Congaree National Park in South Carolina a few days ago, it's just a short hike to the campground but it was SO WINDY!!! And then on top of the wind, it rained 😂 but I still had a ton of fun hiking and camping.

@itsthenortherners 3 жыл бұрын

Totally agree about the wind, when we first started camping it never even entered my head, i was so caught up worrying about the rain ( we are from the UK) and the cold, and then that one day that changed my thinking about not checking the weather when the winds came and broke our poles and ripped our canopy off..................................... wind speed is the first thing i check now. Loving your videos lately, they're like mini movies.

I know you two didn't have the best time, but I wanted to thank you for sharing the trip anyways. Been a subscriber for a bit, but really enjoyed the voice overs and everything else. The wife and I are going through a bit of a low spot right now, just with covid, little friends and family interactions and this really hit me in a way that reminds me how easy it would be for us to get out and about, just the two of us. Though, we know how miserable a windy night in the RTT can be, ugh! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures and keeping the stoke alive for getting out and about with the person you love.

I was in AH last year around March and it was super cold and windy as well. The ultimate trick is to find a site situated behind some rocks in the direction the wind is coming from. That was our saving grace.

Added the Jackery 1000 to my kit this summer too. Game changer. Simple and efficient. So far only have one solar panel and it's been enough for weekend warrioring. It's nice to have cold stuff in the Jeep/truck when you get back to the trailhead after a backpack. New to your channel. Will subscribe and keep watching. I liked the voice over too. Cheers. ✌🏽

Had the same thing happen about a year ago in October. I met a friend at Tuttle Creek campground. He got there the night before and the weather was perfect. He slept outside on a cot. The next day I got there. The ranger came through that afternoon warning everyone there was a "Blow" coming. Weather at that time was still so great that we were skeptical. Sure enough, just about sunset the wind came up and never stopped. We tried to sleep in our vehicles. That was a very long, sleepless night. The next day was just as bad. Wound up at Micky D's in Lone Pine for breakfast before we hit the road.

I love camping in Alabama Hills but you are right abut the wind. I bought a new camp chair with an umbrella because I was there in Mid April and the sun was intense. Got it all set up, arranged the perfect angle so I could sit tan my legs a bit and read a new book with a glass of wine. Well that lasted about 30 minutes when I got up for a refill. Next thing I knew my chair was rolling thru my campsite and my handy dandy umbrella broke...ugh!

Hi! Beautiful video. Loved the VO and the footage, the yummy food, well and everything how you put it together! And I know Im wasn't there feeling miserable with all the wind, , but it looks like an awesome trip to me. Definitely want to check out the Alabama Hills, but for sure we'll check out the weather. Although I have the feeling that it must be windy almost always up there. Don't know. New sub and friend here! Blessings and greetings from San Diego! 🤗
