We decided to return to North Carolina's Outer Banks for another overlanding adventure at one of our favorite local places: Cape Lookout. This secluded beach offers off-roaders and outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to drive and camp on the beach, fish, and explore some awesome historical structures like a lighthouse and an abandoned village! If you can tolerate the strong winds and unpredictable weather in the colder season, and the awful swarm of bugs in the hotter season, you'll love it here!

Going back for our second trip this June. Can't wait.

I'm from MN and the OBX is usually top on my list of places to go to. My preference is to explore Corolla and Carova beaches on the north end. It's fun to go looking for the wild horses.

I haven't been that far south yet, I had an older super duty that I didn't really trust to go that remote, but I've got a rubicon now, and extraction equipment also, I just need to do it

@jamesmengel5818 Год назад

I’ve been out there twice and love it!

That looks like a beautiful trip man! I’m doing a trail trip starting in Savannah, GA, up along the southern South Carolina coast and islands the end of this month! Can’t wait!

Awesome! Just got a 2013 Tacoma, I live over in Raleigh. Going to try and go to Hatteras seashore next month since it's more connected/could be a day trip, but this definitely is on my list now

@nctacomaoutdoor Год назад

AWESOME Video, great info. I’m building up my Tacoma for Cape Lookout. Gonna get a few trips in to some other spots along the Outer Banks to get everything dialed in before going to the Cape.

This is bucket list trip for me. I live on the northern portion of the obx and do a lot of beach “camping” in Buxton and Avon especially during the fall season when the fishing tournaments are going on. We stay set up in one spot 2-3 days at a time. However, someone has to be awake at all times to make that “camping” legal. No rtt’s though. I have everything contained in my softtopper for more discrete camping.

Thanks for the tip on ORV permits. Saving $25 makes a difference. I'll return mid April. Always a great time!

@grandeoverland6787 Год назад

Wondered what kind of trouble could be had out on that coast. Looks like there is a good time to be had!

@dballard6476 7 месяцев назад

If nothing else your comment on airing down and the reasons you stated you got my respect

@Bugout_Overland 7 месяцев назад

The more people understand this, the more likely we are to keep trails open later down the road!

@Chris.Plunkett Год назад

Nice video. Only thing is that it seems like a lot of driving for just one night. But yeah, great vid.

@steelesaldutti Год назад

Fun video! Thanks for sharing the info. Did you need a permit to camp on the beach or just the ORV permit?

@Bugout_Overland Год назад

Just to drive! Camping is pretty much included with it as far as I’ve been told.

@mtnman3MTA3 Год назад

How much hassle was it to acquire permission to fly a drone? I’ve learned to use an aerodynamic two person ground tent out there. The wind is good, if it stops blowing the mosquitoes will attack.

@jamesmengel5818 Год назад

Don’t forget those dang horseflies😂!

@reyyankhan3357 6 месяцев назад

hey man do you think i could run that back road with a rwd tacoma ?

@Bugout_Overland 6 месяцев назад

I wouldn't recommend it in the slightest unfortunately. Slow down or make a turn, and you're almost guaranteed to get stuck. This beach isn't hard packed sand like Daytona or anything like that. It's very soft sand that'll wrap around those tires and suck you in if you try to get going from a stop. Hope this helps!

@lawrencestanley8989 Год назад

I hate that they ever started allowing vehicles on the outer banks. Ever since they did that (it's a money thing), there is virtually no shelling to be had at Cape Lookout anymore, and the amount of trash on the beaches has skyrocketed.

@williamellerman6647 6 месяцев назад

What’s that horrible rattling noise in your truck? 😂 Sounds like you got a broken shock or something 😂

@Bugout_Overland 6 месяцев назад

What minute mark? There’s so much stuff in and on the truck, I’m just so used to it at this point 🤣

@williamellerman6647 6 месяцев назад

It’s been in all your videos 😂 probably your tent or something. That would drive me nuts 😆

Headed three in October, Which inlet was better, North or South? better in the aspect of wading, fishing in the water. Thanks so much for the information!

@Bugout_Overland 10 месяцев назад

Definitely South end in my opinion. And of course! I hope it helps!

@williamellerman6647 6 месяцев назад

When we were at Myrtle Beach a few years ago we drove up to the OBX for a “day” trip. Definitely not a day trip. Worst road trip ever.

@Bugout_Overland 6 месяцев назад

And bro, that is 100% not a day trip 💀 That’s a lot of driving lol.

@williamellerman6647 6 месяцев назад

Like an 18 hour drive. With flooded roads and blinding rain in a economy rental
