As much as I love the mountains and the desert, the coast is hands down my favorite place to be in Oregon. There's very little in the way of dispersed camping (and campground camping is highly competitive) so I rarely take filming excursions to the coast, otherwise you'd certainly see a lot more of it on the channel. 😄

Part of me just wants to be a fictional filmmaker 😂

I was familiar with the Webasto gasoline heater but not the Eberspacher. I do like the idea of running off gasoline, but I don't think I can justify that expense. I don't spend a huge amount of time hanging out inside the camper other than sleeping, and when I sleep I just run an electric blanket inside my sleeping bag rather than heating the entire space all night long. If I was traveling full time through the winter, I think something like that would start to become worth considering, but currently I just don't spend enough winter evenings camping for that kind of investment. This is a good alternative for people to know about though...the Webasto gasoline heater seems to be pretty finicky, especially at higher elevations where you'd need it the most. I wonder how the Eberspacher compares.

No one mentioned that. Interesting idea. I don't have a metal detector...yet... 🤔

I was really surprised to learn the line is still in use. I'm not a railroad buff by any means but it's always interesting and impressive to see what has gone into getting trains through difficult areas.

Despite the years that have passed and countless other places visited, I was surprised by how familiar it felt as I drove up in there. Thanks for sticking with the channel, much appreciated!

They're both pretty busy these days...it's difficult to get our schedules to line up and neither of them are super enthusiastic about camping, so we tend to do other things together when time allows. :-)

Looks like a monitor likely plugged into the OBD port that shows real time data. Coolant temp, batt voltage, trans temp, engine load, fuel flow, speed, fuel level, trip MPG, and instant MPG.

@@ryanjdobbins Thank you!

Yes, ScanGauge 3. Works great to monitor a wide range of parameters, and also will scan & clear CEL codes. It has help me diagnose & repair minor issues that would've otherwise required being at the mercy of a mechanic.

@@softroadingthewest Thanks Donald!

Thanks! Yes, a Nissan-inspired S was the idea. 🙂 And I've actually had a 3D emblem of my logo on the front of my truck for a couple years. I have a blurb about it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bKmcpKZqzpzKaGw.htmlsi=FswduJkfyjFeMxFq&t=729

🤣🤣🤣

Oh you inspire me in many many ways 😂

It's simply Gaia GPS on an old 3rd-gen iPad mini. I use Gaia to plan out my trips at home and then navigate in the field. I have a video about how I use it that centers more around the planning aspect and finding campsites, but there's a chapter on how I then also navigate: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLCFlslps7-dfXU.html I do still run my very dated Garmin GPS device on my dash as well. It doesn't get as much active use but comes in handy from time to time; I address that briefly as well in that video.

Haha 🚂

LOL 🤣👏👏

It's not, but it could be...they all look very similar to me. I think the rail line skirts Takenitch as well.

Pretty sure I recognize that...voice...😆

I believe he said they are 285/75r16’s. Roughly 33’s

@@brackeng1294 Correct, 285/75R16, which is a bump up from the ~31s that came OEM on the 2nd-gen Pro-4x

Do you have a video about your current tires and mods to front and back wheel wells? I have a 2.5 in ADO lift on my 2015 CC long bed. Looking at off-road front bumper for more clearance. Did you have to trim any sheet metal? Any loss of power from the 285's?

@@michaelbattistelli3732 No, I haven't made a video about the tires. I got a bit of rub in the front at full lock and had to trim a little plastic and metal inside the rear of the front wheel wells. I did not notice any power issues with the larger tires.

1) Weirdest poem ever, and 2) how hard would it have been to google that before posting a comment? www.fs.usda.gov/visit/know-before-you-go/recreational-drone-tips (Spoiler alert: Not hard at all.)

You are wrong. It is legal to fly in national forests as long as there is not a TFR in place and you follow their other rules. I believe you’re thinking of flying in a national park. That is illegal to do without a permit.

You say conifer, I say conifer. 🌲😆

@@softroadingthewest Conifer? I didn't even know her.

@@pala4833 LOL 👏👏
