Overlanding in Joshua Tree - How to Avoid the Crowds 

Hahaha. This made me lol hard. Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you.

thought the same thing. subscribed as well :-)

@bossmann Cheers!

Me too!

Can’t beat the classics!

It's not that old LOL Runs on pressurized gas. To me that's new-school tech. My Coleman 2-burner runs on white gas. I have to pump it. 30 years old and still runs awesome.

@@SDwriter.and.surfer i still have the same, use Coleman fuel on it.

@@davidlaforce1855 Yep, same. I still like this old stove. Just used it a week ago in Anza Borrego. Had to replace a few parts over the years, but Coleman is/was pretty good about stocking and selling parts for the older stoves. I also keep an MSR WhisperLite gas stove as a backup, and to use if I'm travelling light or just on a quick one-nighter out in the desert. Runs on the same fuel.

Cheers! Really appreciate that. That gives me some motivation to finish editing some more videos that I have footage for.

Thanks, Zach! Plenty more coming! 😄

Awesome! Hope you get out there!

THIS is what it's all about, right here! Thank you for letting me know. I just got back from a three day trip through the desert, and this is giving me the motivation to edit the video together lol.

Such a cool area! Thanks for watching.

Thanks, Edward! Editing the next one right now! 😄

🤘thanks!

Thanks, Brett. That means a lot!

Awesome. Hope you get out there soon!

Thanks! Yeah I love coming out here… maybe not during the summer though 🥵

Yeah, go for it! Let us know if you have any questions about the trail.

Thank you! 🙏

Sounds like a fun trip! Does he still have the Land Cruiser? Those are so cool. Cheers!

I definitely want to go back and check out more of the mines.

Awesome, sounds like a great and memorable adventure!

🤘

Hell yeah brotherrr!

Cheers! 🤘🤘

Thank you, Gerold! I’d love to make it out there someday. 🙏

Thanks! I've seen videos of stock crossovers and SUVs doing Berdoo Canyon, though some struggled on some of the obstacles a bit. You'll most likely scrape on the first obstacle in Berdoo Canyon, so you may want to skip that one (it's optional!), unless you have skid plates or are with some other vehicles. You'll probably be ok on the mandatory obstacle unless you're in a particularly wide vehicle. It gets pretty narrow. Old Dale Road could be a problem though. That trail was in pretty rough shape when we went, and there were some large rocks on the hill climb. I've seen videos of a subaru getting high centered and stuck on Old Dale. Though I've heard plenty of people getting through fine. Go at your own risk and bring a buddy. Note that I have not done either of these trails since Hurricane Hilary in the summer of last year, so trail conditions are liable to have changed.

Hi Dave - Yes, Bronco Knoll has been on our list for quite some time. Just haven't made it out there. Painted Canyon is also on our list. We almost went there after doing the Bradshaw Trail a few months ago, but ran out of time. Recently posted a video from that trip!

@@palehorseadventures They aren’t far from each other so easy to knock out in a day, if you’re tight on time.

Thank you, and great question. I did a little research, and while there's not much content that shows sprinters going through Berdoo, it does appear that it is POSSIBLE. However, it appears that it is not recommended, as that one section would be a very tight squeeze. Some potential for body damage. So, I'd say it depends on your risk threshold and your experience with similar obstacles.

@@palehorseadventures From your video it definitely looked like it would be a very tight squeeze. Based on what I saw, it might be best to go through from the other entrance. Thanks for the response!

Hi Ray. I’m using an app called Gaia GPS, which I can bring up on the screen through Apple CarPlay. Great suggestion, I can definitely make a video showing how to use it and my process for planning routes.

I aired up before getting back on the main road. It’s about 30 miles to Old Dale, and I didn’t feel comfortable going that far at 20 psi.

About an hour or two with some stops to walk around, etc.

Ooo yeah, I avoid Joshua Tree in the summer. This was shot in mid-January this year. Weather was great. If I remember correctly, it was probably mid-60's during the day and low 40's at night.

Was there last week. It was perfect.

I wouldn’t say it’s required on this route, but it definitely makes for a smoother ride and helps prevent tire punctures.

Super fun trail! 🤘🤘

LETS GO!

Kyuss!! 🤘🤘 No winch yet. Looking into options for the Bronco. I do bring traction boards, tow strap, shovel, tire plugs, etc.

​@@palehorseadventures You definitely want one, for added security! Keep your lady and fury family safe lol Great video, btw! It is nice to see a RU-vid channel grounded in reality! Liked and subscribed!

Not for the faint of heart.

Oh, cool! Yeah he was a nice guy. Do you know the channel name?

@@palehorseadventures hard to say but almost looks like this guy. Let me know if it was lol. That'd be cool if it were. youtube.com/@ggg4runner

@@palehorseadventures sorry forgot link lol

@Tippy - checked it out. No, that’s not him. But I’ll check out more of that guy’s videos. 😆

​@@palehorseadventures ok apologies about that I wasn't 100% sure but thought it would be cool if it was. T Y for the videos!

Thanks!
