Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures.

That Outback is absolutely gorgeous! What a beautiful family you’ve got there. Take it easy!

Gotta say it's good to see you pushing the OB. Nobody else has or is taking their OB as hard as you 2 are. Good to see Courtney didn't bury you & the trailer in the 🏜️ desert YET. There are some amazing campgrounds in Joshua. Thanks for taking us along & showing how surprisingly amazing the OB is. Don't forget to check the oil.

Joshua Tree looks like a blast. We've hiked there in the springtime, but now I want to take my wife and our Wilderness there. I love that your whole family is involved as well, by the time they get to be teens they tend to drift away a bit!

seeing it get up pretty effortlessly in that section around 10mins with the trailer was awesome! hell yeah dude.

I’m getting a 2018 Outback this month. I’m so excited to start taking it out on trails. This Wilderness model is so sweet and seems to perform really well for being a lifted wagon lol. The Out ack is such a unique vehicle.

Nice to see a video of the wilderness hitting its peak capabilities and keeping on like a mountain goat. Love the channel man!

I 'm glad you and the fam kept pushing on. It's inspiring seeing someone from Ohio all the way out in Joshua Tree! Hopefully the OBW is growing on you. I don't own one yet, but it ticks all the boxes. Also crazy to see y'all pulling a trailer with it off-road :)

The more and more I see your rig the more I’m digging it. I really like the trailer as well, killer value for money spent. Your definitely putting the Sub through the Josh stress test lol

I know it might not be as capable as you would like but it looks great doing what it can do. No matter what you're seeing beautiful stuff and spending good time together.

Your wife is an excellent driver, and you are driving this car far more than what I am potentially going to use my OBW. I do feel that your shakedown trip with this vehicle carries with it a jeep centric view as a comparator, and that's ok as it help defines what this vehicle can and can't do. Every vehicle is it's own unique tool. For what you folks get into a lift kit and a rear diff locker may be just the ticket. I do love your content, and your understanding of how important it is to take weather and safety into your driving calculations.

This is too much like working … ie a JOB… all the triggers for ‘losing it’ - BUT you guys did it for US - ! Beautiful drone footage, challenging Real time Learning lessons documented with your new OBW over landing set up. It wasn’t easy but much appreciated… you’ve gained admiration from your followers,(many OBWs owners or plans in future - my November ordered OBW Delivered last week). Your extensive Jeep experience offer the perfect platform to critique Subaru outback Wilderness… Congratulations to the three of you for surviving your first trip with the mostly unknown.

I am peanut butter and JEALOUS :) Awesome footage as usual.

Every time I watch one of your videos your hair looks totally different and it startles me every time. Ha! Great video!

Your baby is as happy our Sofi.

Thanks for the video .. I want to do that track .. I have a 2021 Crosstrek Sport ‘Wilderness’ .. lifted 2” .. skid plate .. Toyo All Terrain III’s .. roof rack, etc. Been to Death Valley 3 times and Moab once .. so far it’s done everything my other rig has done. I did the Crosstrek as it’s just me and it’s about 500 lbs lighter and 15” shorter then the Outback. My son just put money down on a 2022 Wilderness! 🤠

Thanks for sharing your videos and the valuable information about your Outback Wilderness. About your trailer set up, does your teardrop have trailer brakes and are you using a 7 pin connection? I believe that's necessary in order to control brakes on a trailer. We have an Aeroteardrop trailer with trailer brakes and are strongly considering purchasing the Outback Wilderness in the coming weeks. Thanks

That little girl is going to be running the show before not too long lol

I want so bad to head west with mine. So far just been stuck exploring WV on the weekends.

I dig your trailer, but I woulda prob opted for rooftop tent. Tough with all your gear tho

Definitely like the Outback Wilderness in white, debating selling my 1 month old Outback premium for one lol

Another fun, engaging and occasionally unnerving video. I have one request for possible future content, please. I'd love to know a little bit more about your wife's and your history as campers and outdoors-people. How experienced are you? I remember from a previous video that you mentioned your father-in-law was an outdoorsman, so I'm guessing your wife loves the out-of-doors as well. I'm ready to be buy in! Share a little more background and you'll have me forever!

Great video, had my heart racing there in a couple spots! I've ordered the Wilderness and due to videos that ive seen, including your own, I'll be upgrading the tires to the specs on your vehicle, i wanted to confirm that you do not have a lift to ensure that I'm not rubbing. Also, if no full lift or spacer is necessary would you recommend leveling the front? thanks in advance!

Nice place to I would ask how the Outback is doing but like I said before I got a 2002 so I know yours is doing great, weather looks great how did the Outback do on gas on the Highway with the Trailer me and the are planning the same trip in about a month hopefully, takes some videos on the way home so us viewers can see how fun the drive is lol good luck with the rest of the trip remember stay safe and Overland safely!!!!

I was wondering how well an Outback Wilderness would do pulling a tear drop. I have been pulling the trailer with my older Land Cruiser but considering the Wilderness as a replacement. Wasn’t sure if it was up to the job.

Great video! Actually, a LOT of your videos are great! Just have a couple of questions: Was the Outback lifted at the time this video was made? I know you put a 2" AT suspension kit from Ironman, and was just wondering. It looks like you have the LP Adventure wheels with (I think) a +20 offset. Did that cause any issues with the fenders rubbing on the tires if the suspension wasn't in place?

I've been considering a similar set up. Does the OBW tow easily on road? Off road?

Hey Josh, I love your videos and am considering buying an Outback Wilderness myself. I may have missed it, but do you have a Subaru stock hitch or an after market one? If an after market one, why did you go with that vs. the Subaru one?

What roof rack system are you using?

Nice man! Did you guys move to California?

Have you guys thought about getting a truck to tow?

Does it rev like crazy on the highway with the trailer?

where is the Geopro, sold?

zero info about the trailer?

Dude, we should meet up next time we may cross paths. We have an almost exact setup. ‘21 Outback Touring XT with a teardrop, wife and 2 year old daughter.

Was that Berdoo Canyon ?

Wirdeness in the Outback version of the turbo with CVT TR690 rides very badly, he will not be able to drive uphill, his reverse gear goes very badly because of the TR690. Forester Wildeness 2.5 with CVT580 drives uphill and reverse gear ratio is good as first gear!!!

Glad to see you push the OBW to its limits but after watching your channel since you got it, I don’t think the Wildly suits your needs based on your comments.

My thoughts... First I think that you are going to need a lift with much stiffer springs... This would help prevent that rear end from squatting so much witch is certainly impacting departure and breakover, both of which are already a major limiting factor with the Outback Wilderness. This is also impacting traction on the front due to the amount of lift... lack of weight on the front end from the trailer. Second I think that you need a much lighter trailer... At 2,000 lbs you are within 1,500 lbs of the max towing ability of the Outback Wilderness. Even on pavement you are looking at an ideal max of around 2,800 lbs... off road I would put the max tow weight around 1,750 lbs or less and that is not taking into account cabin cargo weight. The Outback Wilderness just does not have the gearing, power, and traction to pull that kind of weight off road. Really the OBW is better suited for a roof top tent...

Should buy a truck

You better get a Tacoma and leave that Subaru for mall crawling back tires about to rub the fenders 😂😂 that like putting a 14 ft aluminum v bottom boat in a bass tournament with a bass cat jaguar boat.
