So… the little bonus trail up to the Arlington mine site… my wife bailed out of the truck with her purse and Red Bull and hiked all the way back to the bottom . She flipped out on the off camber section and bailed at the little washout. I backed down and did a 57 point turn at the switch back. She didn’t talk to me until Ruby. Fun times. 😂 I’ve always wondered if it didn’t turn into a goat trail to nowhere.

At the time we had a guy from Omak working with us. He’s spent most of his life up on Loop Loop screwing off. I told him about it and he laughed and told me it’s a 4 wheeler trail now. He said he came down it once in an old S-10 when he was in High School out deer hunting and never went back. He thought I was nuts for even trying it in my Tacoma. It’s back on the list of trails for me to hit next summer now.

Some momentum would definitely help. Don't know if you saw the "layoff" video from a few months ago but this is definitely a time of transition and decision making. If this picks up I can put my entire heart, soul and effort into it... but bills need to be paid.

Terrific series. Some technical explanations with the fun. What specific maps, gps tracking, etc would you recommend? (What is the map you use in the intro’s?). Also, what clearance did you have for your Tacoma? Was it enough for sections 1-4, 5 &6? Regards!

@JasonExplainsThings 7 ай бұрын

Hey there! So there's a link to the paper map we used on the trip (and that I scanned to use in the video) in the description. For maps and tracking Chris, Mike and I used Gaia on our phones and Nate used a Garmin Overlander GPS. In Gaia you can save/download the entire WABDR route. I've also used onX Offroad. That one is harder (at least in my opinion) to import route information... but people also like it.

@thhweb1 7 ай бұрын

Great details. Thanks. What clearance is your Tacoma? Was it adequate for all sections or just some?

@legendarytrails 7 ай бұрын

What model/brand of drone do you have? The footage is super clear. We're looking for a new one since ours is showing its age.

Just curious if Chris is getting interference on his GMRS antenna being so close to his Prinsu roof rack? Seems he’d have awesome rearward transmission but severely hindered forward transmission. Love the new, beefier, Australian style antenna!

No interference reported on this leg, even with one part off camera where we all split up over a decent area the last night to find a campsite. Very impressed so far!

I would agree its not the best location for optimal performance, but its a great radio and better than the ghost antennas most people use.

@@aevnate4140 I agree 100%. I used mag mount NMO with the 6dB gain antenna on my Colorado. When I added a Prinsu rack I added a “gutter mount” NMO. Might be hard with @pnwbison RTT. Anyway, great trip, great series! Seen all three parts several times (one episode per trip to the gym).
