I was born and raised in Coos Bay. Tip of the day from a lifetimer; air down to about 8PSI for soft sand. Makes a world of difference and can really help prevent your transmission from overheating. I've never been stuck using that method. On roads and big ol dunes. I drive a Yukon XL, which without my camping gear and family is at 5,900 lbs. Also, I've camped in the exact same spot you did in this video. I promise the trash wasn't mine.
Yeah, definitely should have aired down more, but it was a fun excuse to use the traction boards 😅 And good! That was definitely an excessive amount of trash that day
I really like you videos. I have been watching since your Prius days. I’m in a Prius. Congratulations to you and Kim. Love your self rescue. The fold up boards are awesome! Thanks!
Haha, I was laughing watching you use the ARB Rapid Deflator for the first time, because the same damn thing happened to me. There's definitely a learning curve to 'em, but once you figure it out they let out a LOT of air really fast. Oh, and pro-tip, be careful not to accidentally completely remove your valve stem when using it. Ask me how I know.....
Honestly that is exactly what I was afraid of doing, so I decided to be humble and not force it. As they say, use your gear before you USE your gear, ha
New to the channel and just finished binge watching many of your guys' videos! Love it. Sad to see the trash in this spot. My wife and I were that same spot in Feb and had cleaned it up when we were their also...
Thanks man! This was the first video of yours i've seen. Ginny-Girl (Australian Cattle-dog) & i would've been *quite* Happy where you & your 'dowgerdy' camped. 🙏🦉 🏞️ 🌅
Looks like a good time. I was camping on the Washington coast last Wednesday through Friday and it got into the mid-20’s at night. Zero degree sleeping bag and big dogs kept me cozy in the Lab Wagon, but I definitely need to look into a good heater too. That fire pit is nice! Cheers!
In any OHV area across the country you’re required to have a flag that is a certain height above your vehicle. it’s an added layer of safety when you’re rolling over big sand dunes for visibility!
Headed to Florence over thanksgiving weekend, my wife and I have been there a lot but just riding and have always gotten an Airbnb but this year we got a campsite, what PSI do you recommend for driving out in the sand 10?
In sand dune areas vehicles are required to have them so they are visible over ledges, helps visibility and lower accident rates since people are just driving wherever!
@@jaysonschor actually most of us spend hours and hours exploring for places and we don't want them blown up on social media. Want cool places to camp, do the work.
@@jaysonschor it’s not entitlement, spots get shared… and before you know it, they are full of trash, and it’s absolutely ruined. Most of the fun for us, is getting out and exploring and finding them first hand. No participation trophies
