After my Subaru Forester overland build was totaled in an accident, I put together a new rig on a budget: A 2011 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x with a very DIY build. In June 2021, I set out for a weeklong backcountry expedition through a part of Oregon I'd never explored before. This was the first real adventure in the Frontier with the Leer contractor cap.
Originally aired as four separate episodes, this video follows the entire story from beginning to end, edited to flow smoothly, sponsored content removed, and reduced ad breaks. Grab a beverage, settle into a comfy spot, and enjoy the entire adventure through beautiful northeastern Oregon.

From Prineville on over to the top of Marble Cr. pass I was with you all the way. I've driven those roads since 1968 and so much of where you filmed is familiar to me. Thanks for posting this "filler" vid. Much appreciated~ Another subscriber from Baker City.

The Milky Way at night is just amazing. The trek on foot to twin lakes is worth it. I loved camping and watching the mountain goats. I’ll just have to go back this summer 😂

Donald, ignore the brainless, petty, dumbasses who apparently have nothing better to do than complain about a FREE video. For the majority of us we loved seeing this longer version. At first I'm like "Whoa" that's not Oregon right now, then I read your description and your explanation totally makes sense. Watching the edited longer version really made us look forward to this summer's overland/camping that we have planned. Thanks again for the FREE entertainment.

I seen it the first time. But during August cold wet weather we're having here in Oregon right now it made it even more enjoyable to watch it the second time ! Because he reminds me what a lousy week that was when it was so hot here! I know you and Jason work hard doing all your filming. And doing it during all that hot weather would just make it more of a pain. I really enjoyed seeing it again and very well done thank you. Next time remember to stop at that little ice cream shop in Prineville very good milkshakes! Started going to that ice cream shop back in the early 60s.

I think this is a great video to sum up the experiences with the Nissan so far. Nice for people new to this channel to watch single longer videos to get up to date. I don't understand the asshole commentaries here. Next those people yell at Don "I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER". Weather seems to be adding this time of the year, plus he's getting a new canopy right now.

Donald have you had any issues with those regular type gas cans leaking on top rack? If not, What brand are they? I have rotopax but would like to carry a couple more cheaper ones. Since mine will be on top also, I am concerned about leakage..
@softroadingthewest
@softroadingthewest Год назад
They're not perfect. When it's hot and the cans expand, it breaks the seal just enough for a trickle of gasoline to ooze out. On the plus side, when it's hot enough for that to happen, the trickle that escapes evaporates before it can drip down on the truck. Ultimately I can't recommend this solution. I've moved my fuel supply to steel jerry cans which will ride on the rear bumper (when I finish it, haha). I bit the bullet and purchased expensive Wavian cans and I have to say, I'm glad I did, they're excellent. As much as I look for ways to save money, I've come to the conclusion that fuel transportation is not the best place to economize. On one of my trips, a friend had a cheap Rotopax knockoff leak on a backcountry trip, drain out completely, flooding his rooftop tent with gasoline and leaving him with inadequate fuel. Fortunately I had enough in the tank and was able to give him my spare gas to get us back to civilization.

@softroadingthewest
@softroadingthewest 7 месяцев назад
Absolutely agree, I carry a chainsaw with me at all times. I don't necessarily clear every downed tree I encounter - sometimes it's just not worth the time if the road isn't sure to go anywhere, or if there are downed trees as far as the eye can see that would require days of clearing work.
