Will, Kate, and the kids, along with their dear friends Chris and Eljse take an Overland Shakedown Trip in Boise Idaho backyard. With a big Overlanding season coming up, they hit the trail to find off road camping spots to test their new roof top tents and Big Country 4X4 awning. What hey didn't expect was to find some world class camping spots along the way! Living in Boise Idaho certainly has it's perks...especially if you like Overlanding and epic camp spots!

Who knew that, within an hour of our front door, we could find world class camping spots. We LOVE a long journey...but this trip made us rethink what we define as "overlanding." Hope you enjoy! For more V2R Trip Vids: ru-vid.com/group/PLv4WOiu-rUDAGLr0qDKP-SFToKXBrSCMK

Wow. What an epic camping spot.

@Venture2Roam 2 года назад

Thank you - it's pretty fantastic - been back twice since making this video lol.

@erickaesman4001 Год назад

I have an OVS 270 awning on my Overkill Trailer. First trip in July in Stanley, a gust of wind snapped the the two rear spreader bars! I called OVS when I got home and explained the the problem. They asked for a shipping address and I received the two new poles in a week. No charge! Thats customer service. Now I always use the poles and tie downs. Great awning.

@Venture2Roam Год назад

They provided great customer service to Chris with his tent as well. Nice to hear when companies stand by their products.

These spots are not cheating at all. Having stuff like that close to home is a big reason why I moved to Boise. It’s just about getting out and enjoying it. This is awesome, dude.

Just mentioned in a comment on Fletch's channel that I believe I'm most jealous of you out of all the channels I watch. You are so close to such amazing locations. I've lived in a state pretty much all my life that everyone wants to visit, but it's definitely not for the scenery (FL, and the beach doesn't count cause I hate the beach). Your area is definitely on my list of places I want to get to one day.

@Venture2Roam 2 года назад

This trip was bananas...it blew us away and we live here...these places were only 1 hour from our front door..that's insane...We couldn't ask for a better overlanding hometown...but we don't get the beach....and that's a bucket list thing for me...camping on the beach. Really appreciate you watching and commenting. DM if you are looking for Idaho routes!

There is no such thing as cheating when you go Ovetlanding. You are light years ahead of me as far as Shake Down trips are concerned. I have done a shakedown in my new RTT in my driveway for a weekend. My wife thought I was crazy. Another great video. Thanks. Go Broncos!

@Venture2Roam 2 года назад

Go Broncos!!! I so agree with the no cheating thing. Hey you gotta shakedown where you can…no judgment…I set that tent up in my driveway half a dozen times before we hit the trail. Kate thinks I’m crazy too…but she’s crazy enough to enjoy it too lol. Thanks for watching!!

@bogotstogoskiing 2 года назад

Videos like this are lifechanging. My brother and his wife are about to have their 3rd child (in a short amount of time. She definitely misses her drinks) and I'm a bit younger but need to get on it (whole 'nuther story). One of the things my brother asked me is to keep "camping" alive in the family. I think overlanding is the key. This. I commented on a few of your videos earlier today (just found your channel today) and I know where I'm headed but my bro needs to join in on the fun and it will happen. We both drive LandCruisers. His is much newer than mine but I love what both of them can do and they're a great platform. The little things his needs mine has and it's really just a matter of going out there and doing it. Been doing it alone but that will change. I'll spot him. Our stomping ground is Tahoe so there is no shortage of fun. Thanks for putting together such incredible experiences. This summer is gonna be fun! :)

@Venture2Roam 2 года назад

@ShellShock794 2 года назад

I love that you keep the spots vague. I'm an Idaho native and I've lost probably 90% of my favorite spots in the past 7 or 10 years or so. Either to population or the freakin Wilks brothers.

@Venture2Roam 2 года назад

Thank you..it's a fine line between showcasing these beautiful areas to inspire folks to get out..and over sharing specifics that might lead to these spots becoming damaged and even closed in the future...I'm with you on the privatization of these lands...I STRONGLY believe they should stay public, and if private....public passage be allowed if bordered by public lands.

We have so many option right around us for shakedowns and quick last min get aways. A weekend out is better than at home. :)

@Venture2Roam 2 года назад

Totally agree - better to get out quickly than stay home. It was the same for me on that spot..passed it many times, never really noticed it...then this winter the snow highlighted it for me and I was like..."next time I'm out here, I'm swinging by that spot." That's why I love living here...it's one of many. Thanks for taking the time to watch the vid and for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it!

For sure that’s a great route…we’ve driven part of it. From Twin you could drive up to Trinity Mointain via Pine, then hit that section of the BDR all the way to Yellow Pine..or even loop back around to Berdorf and Riggins. You should look at Copper Basin (we have a vid on it) as well.
