Join Deb and Bill as they continue their overlanding adventure through the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina and Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee. In this episode, we explore the famous Hurricane Creek
I just wanted to tell you all that my wife and I just found your youtube page and have been really enjoying your videos! This is the kind of Overlanding we would like to do once we get our new Jeeps rigged up! Thanks for the inspiration!
Great job on the well thought out suspension and tire upgrades. Seems to be working well. My wife and I are in NE Georgia and camp with similar type trails but my worst nightmare is her slipping and breaking or spraining something. Just can't stand to see her in pain. Get your girl some hiking boots and jeans or get her to wear 'em if she's got 'em. Great balancing act back there, but skeery slippery. Looking forward to the Max trail ;).
Great vid. We did Hurricane Creek a while back but in the opposite direction. That muddy hill at 5:00 is a fun climb even when it's dry. Great test of suspension 🤙
Your getting there~~ 57 subscribers to go !! Such excellent videos. I wish they would dump a load of gravel at the trail start and have people just take a buck when they ride the trail and dump it in those galleys!! LOL... It would probably repair the trail in 3 weeks with the number of folks that drive it! Max Patch has been a zoo, way too many people. Can't wait to see what you found!
The Gulley's are definitely getting a little deep... We got max patch about two hours before dark. There wasn't a whole lot of people. It sure is a beautiful place.
Great trail, ran it last Thursday (March 2021) and the section at 6:00 is way more rutted out now. Took a land cruiser 200 through no problem but a full size long pick up would be dragging tail a lot through sections. Just a trail condition update for anyone thinking of running it. I’ve seen comments on other videos saying 2WD vehicles and Subaru’s could do this trail. This is no longer the case.
I went 12/29/21, did it with an 01 Mercedes ML320 with A/T 33" Cooper Discover tires and a 1" lift, the Mercedez with it's low gear 4MATIC 4wd system was able to concord Hurricane Creek all the way to Max Patch, yes great articulation is the way to go with this trail, my Mercedes was lifting on and 2 wheels on many occasions, it was much fun, my brother in law had a 21 Toyota Thundra TRD Pro on a 3" lift and 34" tires, damaged the side step and some of the trim moldings of the vehicles
Hi, I enjoy watching your videos and always look forward to the next one. I am curious to know how many miles are on your jeep today, seems like she just keeps running.
Thanks for the great videos! We are going to tackle Hurricane Creek after watching your videos. What camera/gimble are you guys using from inside the Jeep? Love how smooth that is.
I cam across your channel while looking up some info on the Linville Gorge area and Old NC 105. Any particular recommendations as to the best overlanding experiences for this area?
We have not been through there since April. Back then it would have been fine, trail conditions are always changing. Make sure you take recovery gear and a buddy you should be fine.
