Gaia has a private land layer. Oftentimes, public land is accessed by road easements through private land. As long as you stay on the road, you are fine. Also, sometimes landowners lock gates illegally to prevent legal users from accessing public land. Best to check with the managing agency.

Great video, but let's talk about the real issue here. There are large swaths of U.S. public land, intended for the public to enjoy, but completely landlocked by private landowners. Something needs to be done to address the issue. Or, are we okay with only a handful of wealthy land owners accessing these thousands of acres of public land because they've encircled it? Personally, I believe at the very least we need to have public corridors to these public lands.

Binged watched a couple of your videos and you've improved a lot on your storytelling and cinematography. Keep it up mate!

That shot where you guys are all turning separate directions. So good! This is a great adventure and I’m only part way through! 😃 👊🏼

This trip was such a good time! Left you alone for FIVE MINUTES and you're already trespassing. Go figure! Just kidding .... sorta. Great video as always!

That whole area you were in was my playground in my 20's. That whole Columbia basin to Ritzville, Moses Coulee to davenport etc. Fished every pond lake and crab creek from Columbia River to lake Roosevelt were I live now. Thank you.

You and the story till now are quickly becoming my favorite channels on here and both of you are inspiring me to make some life changes and also get into overlanding with my son! Great video as always

Amazing video man! May be helpful to share with your viewers that onx typically has names AND ADDRESSES of private property owners in the event you might want to plan a trip. Write them and ask permission to cross their land. Many times people are amenable if you have the courtesy to ask them in writing, telling them of your plans, what you want to do, etc. Probably even easier if you just want to camp, and aren't hunting.

Just found your channel and joined before I finished the first video. Reasons being, aside from the content, which is thoughtful and beautifully delivered, you're in my neck of the woods (central Washington), you're also a Bronco person (we have 3 in the family!) and you were very respectful of private property owner's rights. Also, yes, On-X is what we use. FWIW, yea land-locked public lands are super frustrating!

I loved the overhead shot of you guys going your separate ways, and the rest of the shots of course! Glad you had the front lockers to get up that hill.

Thanks David, your videos are helping me feel connected to home while I am away.

Living the dream, literally and figuratively, good on you bro!!

I feel like the drone shots are getting better every video, nice work! I'm liking the eastern/central Washington exploring, hoping more to come in future videos. No more trespassing though, 😜lol.

I love the good old fashion with the large cube off grid. That's my kind of camping! And learning so much about videography and editing from your videos. Thanks!

In addition to the Public Land layer you mentioned, Gaia HAS a Private Land layer which you can download for offline use. It even shows you the name of the land owner for the parcel on which you are located. Seriously, the tools WERE available to help prevent this situation.

Yes!!! You collabed with one of my favs, Jeff! Keep grinding....to get off the grind, lol. I know, i know cheesy but....i did it for the rithm!

Great clip mate, well done. Whilst I live in Australia I enjoy the different perspective of your overlanding there in the US. Thanks for sharing champ 👍 Side note : I think you’ll find that machine was actually an old hay chopper silo feeder, not a plow. They were sold by John Deere back in the day but not made by them. Made by by Papec Machine Co. of Shortsville, NY. In 1901, Papec Machine Co. was established in Lima, New York by Billy Hamlin. Although some sources claim that their initial focus was on steam engine repair, the company name is a shortening of Pneumatic And Propeller Ensilage Company, which suggests that their focus was always on silo fillers. After licensing a patented ensilage cutter/filler from the Paris Plow Co., of Paris, Ontario, the company grew quickly. They outgrew their Lima facilities and in 1909 relocated to larger premises in Shortsville. With the additional room they were able to expand their catalog of products. They were almost all related to agricultural machinery in some way, but at some point they made a grinder arbor too. Here’s one out in a paddock which features the same “bone structure” as the one in your clip. www.flickr.com/photos/photo-maniac-spady/8330765091/in/photostream/lightbox/ Great clip bud and thanks again for sharing 🇦🇺👍

the drone shots are getting better every video, nice work! , this edit was amazing! This is a great adventure May be helpful to share with your viewers that onx typically has names AND ADDRESSES of private property owners in the event you might want to plan a trip. if you just want to camp, and aren't hunting.

Another great video! The Bronco did awesome as it always does. Thanks for taking us along.

Dude, this edit was amazing! Tunes are just killer, alongside the scenery and most importantly, adventure! Well done and ‘well’ worth the wait.

That guy was super cool talking about your deviations...lol Great drone work.

The law allows you to cross at the corners, so maybe next time, check for the actual corners where you are legal to cross. Great video as usual!

Gaia has a private land map you can get that has the same info. I use it all the time. Great vid man.

When I saw you go through that one gate after all the previous ones were locked, for a half-second, I thought "uh-oh" but then I remembered you posted this video, so Lol you obviously made it out ok. Another great presentation of another adventure

Great adventure. I love those old buildings and equipment also. I could look at that stuff for hours lol.

Those old fashions tho! My winter go to drink as well!

Another one for the books, keep ‘em coming! It’s always a bummer when you get to a locked gate, I’ve had it happen and it’s not fun.

These orange headlights looks so badass especially from the distant drone shots

Wow...another great video and amazing drone shots! So glad I found and subscribed to your channel.

Next time we meet up randomly in Utah off the I70 you should pull out those fancy old fashions ! We were the ones sneaking a peak at the pictographs 🤘

Fantastic footage, and incredibly inspiring 🙏

Gosh your cinematography is so good

Finding the challenging stuff can be difficult. Here in Minnesota we don't have much either. How often have you thought about travelling a bit further out for adventure? It's a long ways, but the Ozarks are on my list. It would be epic if you did a collaboration with Ozark Overland Adventures. You two are the best overlanding channels on KZfaq in my opinion. Keep it up!

Old Fashion recipe??? Frenchman coulee is such a cool place. Amazing history too. Formed at the end of the last ice age, massive flooding in Eastern Washington shaped the landscape.

If you want to challenge your bronco you can try going to the funny rocks, moon rocks up Manastash. There are Lots of trails in central Washington that that are tough.

Great adventure, thanks for creating and sharing!

Long time fan. Really enjoyed the video. It’s one of your best so far and helps me to decompress at the end of the day.

Love our Iceco 55, definitely going to look at getting that cover👌

Your editing is really good, very well done. Killing it.

Thanks for yet another recommendation on the IceCo products. As I said in your previous video, I'll be buying a fridge for work very soon and thanks to your message, I think I'll place my order within that sale window! Thanks again!!

So awesome that guy was cool =)

Guy tailing you: Niko Bellic would have had his foot to the floor! I'm thinking a "No Trespassing" sign at that gate would be a help to others. Love the content.

That Whiskey Drink looked phenomenal, could you share the ingredients? Really enjoy your videos, they are getting me excited to get out more often.

Keep it tight! #wheretonextoverland

28:01 I’m pleasantly shocked that isn’t riddled with bullet holes

I just discovered your channel, very awesome find btw. I own a wildtrak sasquatch bronco setting it up slowly. I live in the southwest desert. thank you for sharing your explorations.

Dude I need your merch, it looks killer 😂😂😂

Love it. Ive been wanting to go off road in my bronco just hesitate to do it without a winch.

You should do a bronco meet up and do a trail sometime David. I’d be down! I live north in Lake Stevens. It would be cool to meet some bronco enthusiast and hit a trail.

Funny interaction at the end of your video! Were the trail cameras his?

Love your channel man you are inspiring me to actually get out and go! What’s the song in the beginning? Love your taste of music as well haha

You almost got stuck? That's why you wait until the roads dry out. Just because you can go someplace doesn't mean that you should. Too many folks drive on desert roads too early in the year. It simply tears up the roads.

At least the guy was pretty chill about the whole thing. I've seen situations where things went sideways really quickly and all you can do is run and hope like hell you don't get shot at on the way out. OnX is a really useful tool for determining who owns what and most of its info is pretty accurate. Gaia has been too much of a let-down and tends to be far more complex.

David thanks for sharing, as for the bourbon whisky drink I forgot all about that one. First on my list for the next winter trip. Great drone footage buddy, what a beautiful place.

Your video is like a discovery channel documentary

There's a reason for everything and today most of us who didn't know this fully has learned something. So Gaia isn't up to date and we have to be extremely careful getting into these BLM lands that are surrounded by private property.. Great editing that amazing scenery and drive, thank you. Your New bronco is being in its natural habitat where it mostly belongs too

Gaia does actually have a "landowner" layer that you can download and turn on. While OnX has made some improvements that is getting closer to being appealing for me, i still prefer the versatility that Gaia offers. Im glad the gentleman was cool about you being on his land, but seriously if he really wanted to keep people ofc his land, a couple of No Trespassing signs at his open gate might have deterred an honest citizen such as yourself.

Oh shit - I know the guy who's land you were on LOL. Nice video!

How did the Nitto tires do on the terrain? Especially the mud?

I have to say that when I’m out Overlanding, I completely leave peoples private property alone, but if it’s BLM land should never be locked in by private property. The people that surround those properties should be made to make an easement road or purchase all the land that people are not allowed to access. Everybody pays taxes, which is funding BLM, if only the people that own the land around it can access it that’s kind of bullshit.

Excuse me sir. I do not need saving from coffee montages. I need more of them,

My favorite way to make an old fashioned is kinda cheating. I just put in a splash of Grand Marnier. 🎉

David, quick question, I'm in-between an iceco vl35 pro s and the vl45 pro s. I know you have extensive knowledge of both of these. Which one would you recommend?

Your video title definitely grabs attention, and I'm eager to hear about your adventure exploring Central Washington.We sent you an email, check it out.

Great video! So much fun! Could you share what the simple syrup was for your old-fashioned?

just so you know Gaia does have a layer for private land but it is part of the premium package

Classic vid, loved the watch, candid camera 101 busted @offthegrind

You are in my neighborhood !

You need a diesel heater.

I was wondering how that was gonna play out. Land owner seemed cool and easygoing, considering the circumstances. I know I've been, let's say, less than thrilled when a random person walks right past my no soliciting sign, knocks on the door, and tries to sell me something. Did the landowner happen to say what the point was with the camera pointing at the cave?

I hate the thought that people can buy all the land surrounding a parcel of public land and cut off all access to it.

Lexus luxury

Love the video maneee

Great video!

How do you get amber daytime running lights?

Is this near Vantage?

What's the point of having public land that is not accessible to the public?

That whisky recipe ?

So it's public land for those with a helicopter or a balloon. It's insane how many instances you can find here in America where land hoarders surround the blm land...how is that even allowed? I've seen instances of "no trespassing/private property" signs on gates, where in reality, the road was public only the land on the sides is private...

Hit them likes famm

Get OnX you won’t find yourself in this spot

Xxx

If it’s not fenced tell the guy to pound sand. It must be posted Private Property

Way too staged ,no soul... Hurry home, the dishes are waiting... Camera work is OK but get some pointers from Primal Outdoors...😉
