Includes bonus content never before seen on the channel! This weeklong Utah adventure originally aired as 5 episodes in mid-2022. Sponsored content, intros/outros, and other superfluous segments have been removed for a cohesive, streamlined viewing experience, PLUS I have freshly edited a bonus "6th chapter" that I never published documenting my two-day excursion with locals guiding me through what would turn out to be the most interesting & scenic backcountry of my entire week in Utah.
Grab a beverage and settle in for a journey through unique, diverse, and incredibly beautiful Utah canyons, mountains and deserts.

I really like the one of a kind contractor canopy you had. I like your current popup canopy also, gives you extra space and comfort. Keep up with the youtube videos, I really enjoy your style.

@softroadingthewest 8 месяцев назад

The contractor cap worked out very well for the price, and I'd certainly still have it on the truck if I hadn't had some partnership opportunities arise. As well as the contractor cap turned out, I am undeniably happier with the Topo Toppers camper. :-)

I do have an introductory video about the camper I made when it was new: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6sFqubbXd6Y.html And I have been releasing a series of build videos as I go, I still have one or two more videos to finish this series but what I have covers most of what you see: Playlist of 7 videos so far: ru-vid.com/group/PLy61X2ncSOSfwOqvc9gF3_NTD9smtunkr Let me know if I can answer any other questions! 🙂

@VideosOffRoad 8 месяцев назад

What I love SO much about your video compared to most other channels is the focus on the scenery and history. Other channels will spend 5+ minutes (sometimes more than once per video) at camp, explaining what they're cooking and other boring stuff. Yes, you have a touch of that, but they are blissfully short segments. Love it!😅

@imbdileva 8 месяцев назад

That cliff you were on near the Green River is on my bucket list... That peninsula overlooking the river. Below is Hey Joe Canyon Rd, which I believe is going to be closed. I hope acces to that spot remains open. Moab closed 300+ miles of trails. 😢

@softroadingthewest 8 месяцев назад

Because sandstorm. 😆 I love to make camp before dark but sometimes things just don't work out as planned.

@the_mountains_our_calling4809 8 месяцев назад

Beautiful edit! I was a little bummed you didn't put in the animation on the Goblin that shared your campsite with you while camping by Goblin Valley State Park. The original video of that had me laughing my butt off. Nonetheless another great video as usual

@softroadingthewest 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, I went back and forth on that, but finally decided to edit out several segments from this series that ultimately just didn't really move the story forward, and would've made the finished product prohibitively lengthy. But I very much appreciate anyone who appreciates my silly humor, LOL. :-)

New subscriber to your channel. Love the content. Your Truck looks fairly stock with a front bumper. Do you have any suspension, drivetrain work on that thing? I have a stock GMC Sierra that I’d like to get a similar camper for… I’ve taken it a lot of places so far just wheels and tires.

@softroadingthewest 7 месяцев назад

It has a 2" suspension lift from Alldogs Offroad, and the tires are upsized to 33s from the OEM 31s for another inch. Drivetrain is entirely stock and handles the occasional obstacles I encounter just fine. :-)

@j.b.708 3 месяца назад

this area wasn't' just under an ocean, it was under an ocean, a jungle, and a desert several times over. if you can find the right areas, there are shark teeth to be found. and as far as national parks go, just skip them unless you can hike in from an edge, they are basically being turned into NPS-curated amusement parks and concessionaires jam packed with tourists, shoulder to shoulder and ushered onto busses. forget about driving around off-road and exploring in most NPs.

@trixie2010 8 месяцев назад

Been going into that area for about 40 years. Thank you for not divulging the name of this gem. Even though it has become extremely popular over the past twenty years, there are still spots where you can get away from the ATV folks and their monster rigs.

@DaveInCanada081 8 месяцев назад

Where do you get fuel out there?

@softroadingthewest 8 месяцев назад

There are a handful of small towns with gas stations. Part of my research for every trip involves locating gas stations and planning my routing to various points of interest in a way that allows me to grab gas as efficiently as possible.

@@darrenjohnson9030 RU-vid's automated ad placement drops in breaks approximately every 3 minutes regardless of the video length. I've manually reduced RU-vid's ad frequency on this video by well more than 50%. There are multiple segments here that are ~10 minutes uninterrupted (unless RU-vid is re-placing the ads breaks I removed). All the TV networks playing syndicated reruns of sitcoms place as many or more ads as the first time the show aired yet people watch over and over and over.
