Out of Gas and Turning Back on the Pony Express Trail

The Pony Express Trail is an overland route that shouldn't be taken lightly. With over 500 miles of trail you'll need to bring enough equipment and fuel to make sure you don't run out of gas to get you through a 4 day overland trip. After just two days on the trail we were beat down by the dust, tight trails, and even ran out of gas.

When you learn that adventures are not about reaching your goals or being all prepped, but how to mentally deal with unexpected situations and keep a positive outlook no matter the problem. Thanks for sharing the reality of adventuring Justin. Been there too when driving India for a year on a motorcycle.

@markcarpenter3600 3 года назад

I can't stress how important it is to really know your vehicle. A few short trips before undertaking such a large trip would have allowed you to get to know your vehicle and work out the kinks. everything must be tested and tested regularly, even the most mundane task like refueling your vehicle. A new suspension may need to be re-torqued several times, I was horrified to think you were going to start on such a long desolate trip with a new untested suspension. AJ's fuel situation, that's a serious lack planning! You should know all fuel points along your route even ones that are off of your route. You need to know what your worst case rate of burn is and plan for that! In the west you can easily drive yourself out of range of a fuel. If you know you have a fuel problem its time to stop and reassess the situation, especially once you approach half of your available fuel! In the United States and most of the world except Australia, diesel isn't the best choice for an overland vehicle, unless you can hold a large amount of fuel. Diesel can be hard to come by in remote locations of the western United States. If you take modern diesel to third world countries 'Ultra low sulfur diesel' may be impossible to obtain, this will rapidly clog your particulate filter. These roads put a lot of stress on vehicles and parts will break, that's why your carrying the tools that are specific to your vehicle. Doing your own work on your vehicle goes along way in obtaining the knowledge needed to make repairs and knowing what tools are necessary and NOT necessary. Weight can be saved by not duplicating tools between vehicles. Pin-striping, dust, sharp rocks, dirt, silt, mud, clay, sand, wind, sun, rain, light snow, dust storms that may cause sand-blasting are part of the fun, enjoy it!

@1111Overland 3 года назад

Our family loved watching this together, such great cinematography! I know exactly what you mean by stress driving. Add to that the concern about running out of fuel and it almost blocks you from enjoying the scenery around you.

@Vincent-gt3gx 3 года назад

Interesting Trip, I am from Canada and with my Jeep Wrangler JT I went from Toronto to Vancouver then up to Alaska it took 4 weeks to do the trip and I did not carry half the stuff you did. A lot of the driving was down gravel roads and a few trails but it was nothing to write home about. You should do more small trips first since you are having so many small troubles that are getting you down then advance up to the more longer trips once you figure out what you need and what you do not. Last of all every detail counts even doing an oil change. On my trip I did 4 oil changes on the road, meaning I did them myself such as in parking lots and along the side of the road. So all details are important and they can snowball into larger problems. So Good Luck with your travels.

@ajsap8160 3 года назад

Medano trail here in Colorado. It's by the Great Sand Dunes, drove about a mile into it and the sand got super deep. Sank to the frame (didn't air down), alone, mosquitoes, getting dark, and zero supplies other than some water and a sandwich. My Jeep is 2011 JKU manual and I was burning the clutch trying to drive out, so I ended up digging a trench by hand all the way to the hard packed sand, threw it in reverse. Finally I was out and decided to just drive back home, i'll be revisiting it here soon though now that I'm a bit more experienced and my jeep has grown up a little. I thought I could check it out a bit and see if I could find some camping sites and turn around, but hey now I know haha

@hikesbikesbrews 3 года назад

So I watched TacomaBeast's video on this trail and now yours and I assume you have too. While theirs was nicely produced/edited, it seemed overly dramatic and theatrical like in a fake sense. I enjoyed your more direct, straightforward view. Everything on that other video, which I know you were supposed to be a part of, made it seem like a life or death decision/scenario "o if we didn't have this gear, i don't know how we would manage" but again, yours seemed genuine.

12:30 driving a trail in these conditions, and having the experience with both the Wrangler and Bronco now, which one would you rather recommend as perfect balance between daily ride, comfortable for long distance road trip (on road) and offroad / trail capable? I want to get away from my current SUV with rooftop tent. It has rather good offroad capabilities for only being a SUV, but I wouldn't dare to take it on a trail like that. Dirt roads, fields paths and forest roads is about as much offroad I'd put the SUV into

I going west to east 3 possible fuel points on the Nevada side 1st Fallon, 2nd Austin by Simpson park Station, and the 3rd is Ely NV. How much fuel did you carry for the Diesel? I'm planning to carry 20 extra gallons from the Shelbourne Rest area. By my calculations that should make it to SLC. Any advise would be greatly helpful and appreciated. Thank you.

@JustinBMcBride 3 года назад

We did this trip the first week in October and AJ was only carrying those extra 4 Gallons. From Eureka you can make it to SLC with as much as 10 extra gallons. If you are planning Austin to SLC then the 20 Gallons you’re carrying should be just enough to get you to the first fuel stop in Cedar Fort, UT.

the tailgate connector got stuck and out of place due to lack of lubrication. just unscrew it and fix it back home. no big deal

@JustinBMcBride 3 года назад

That’s what I ended up doing to mine. Pretty lame that Jeep has that thing wide open to the tire like they do.

Is this doable in February?

@JustinBMcBride 3 года назад

Maybe? I just saw that the Sierras got over 5 feet of snow. It just depends on the year, it doing it this February probably isn’t smart.

@JustinBMcBride 3 года назад
