With a busy holiday week of hosting and cooking for Thanksgiving, I couldn't devote the time to properly editing the next episode of this year's eastern Oregon adventure. But here is a look back at my first-ever eastern Oregon trek, my first encounter with the Owyhee canyon, and my first time heading out for a full week of overlanding.
Originally aired in 2020, this series had Jackery segments in every episode, but I have removed them all from this compilation along with edits to other scenes for a (hopefully) more concise and engaging flow of story. I've also greatly reduced the ad frequency for fewer interruptions.
If you're relatively new to the channel, this is an opportunity to get a taste of what life was like before the Frontier. :-) And if you're a longtime viewer, a chance to revisit old times and some of the most beautiful country in Oregon. Next week, we'll get back to this year's adventure!

Glad you enjoyed it. TBH I was unsure how this would be received. It was relatively quick and easy to assemble actually, which is why I did this instead of trying to build my next episode during an already-busy holiday week. I may eventually give my other weeklong adventures the same treatment. Thanks for watching!

This is a good teaching/learning point. This is why when I meet up with friends we have a predetermined location to meet with map coordinates already passed around. If at dark or bad weather the GMRS radio helps a lot, we look for the headlights at night to guide them to us.. If for some reason the group location have to move, someone goes part way back to guide folks out if we cant contact them by various means. I have seen multiple folks driving around just like this looking for friends for hours while I'm out in the wild. When they stop to ask if I had seen their group, sometimes I have and sometimes not. Surprisingly a lot of these folks have no radio or GPS or anything to coordinate meetups...

@softroadingthewest
@softroadingthewest Год назад
I could not agree more. The Brat and the Baja were cute but not truly functional as a truck. If Subaru had made a real truck with their AWD and low range, I would have bought one in a heartbeat. Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Honda all made trucks. I never understood why Subaru didn't enter that market.

@softroadingthewest
@softroadingthewest Год назад
I had a '92 Legacy wagon as our family car for 10 years (from 2000 - 2010) and was so impressed with that car that when it was time to move on to something else, we got a 2007 Outback, which I also loved (and my ex-wife still drives). After my divorce, I replaced my daily driver 2WD pickup with this 2012 Forester, which turned out to be my favorite Subaru of the three I owned. If I were to one day pick up another Subaru, I would almost certainly get the same exact Forester. :-)

thanks for this awesome compilation! I am curious about the Alvord desert. Currently on the map it is depicted as a wilderness study area. Was it like this when you went (and it is drivable despite that), or this may have been a recent change of status?
@softroadingthewest
@softroadingthewest Год назад
BLM "Wilderness Study Areas" are not the same as designated Wilderness Areas (such as the Three Sisters Wilderness Area). In my travels I've driven through numerous areas denoted as Wilderness Study Areas. They are places that have been identified as having wilderness characteristics making them possibly eligible for consideration for Wilderness Area status in the future. Designation as a protected Wilderness Area has to pass through Congress and be signed by the President, so it's not something some BLM manager can simply decide upon. For the moment, the Alvord remains drivable. :-) I don't know where you're located, but if you're intrigued by this sort of place, there's also the Black Rock Desert in NW Nevada. Very similar drivable dry lakebed, but even more vast than the Alvord. I visited briefly in 2021: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4tOvXTY5FHE.html

Yes, of course. We had a pre-determined channel and I was calling out on it frequently, and when I wasn't, I had my radio constantly scanning all channels for any transmissions, in case they had to switch channels. This area is so vast that even my dash-mount GMRS radio will not come close to reaching all the way across it, so I was on the radio all the time as I moved around the playa, hoping to stumble into range of any of my friends out there. Probably my biggest fail in terms of filming this adventure was not covering that detail in the video, because I got hammered with this comment over and over and over on the original release, LOL. :-)
