Got my first jeep wrangler and started overlanding last spring. Hit the mendocino discovery trail with my 15 year old son. Easy dirt roads and epic views on Mt. Hull. Disperse camped by a beautiful meadow near lake pillsbury. Memories for life time with my son! great video!

@kdawgtv1333 Год назад

Goals man 😃

@Nate-ui5es Год назад

Looking into buying a trailhawk just for these reasons haha

@CFRATT Год назад

Excited to check out the mendocino route once all these storms die down

@erikl85 5 месяцев назад

Oh man, I’m not normally one to get too protective of my secret spots, but I can’t lie, my heart dropped when you mentioned the east fork of the trinity river haha.

@erikl85 5 месяцев назад

Great video though!

@bobmalooga335 5 дней назад

I thought Californians love being invaded

@raphaelcastro3673 Год назад

Thank you for creating this video! I enjoyed your work!

@gerardhoran Год назад

Great work Ben. Some Happy Trails out here in CA

@paulespinoza7172 Год назад

A few more for the bucket list. Thanks

@kaveman6061 4 месяца назад

You have a new subscriber here, I like your style. Informative without being a how to video. Very funny intro. Overlanding is what we used to call camping.

@toddshook1765 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing these areas. I live in the high desert of So Calif. So these spots are close. Been camping for years but bit new to the overlanding way. Great places to start.

@Dronerangerspro Месяц назад

Truly epic trails!

@elmerllamas3792 9 месяцев назад

Minimum ground clearance for intermediate over landing is 8.5 inches, but anything above 8 inches can handle beginner trails. Tacoma 4x4 stock is 9.4 inches for comparison. You can handle well maintained dirt tracks with 6.5 inches of minimum ground clearance.

@lunamaria1048 Год назад

I approved this. Thanks!

@robm799 Год назад

I’m new. Thanks much.

@josels1292 3 месяца назад

Nice, I just purchased a new 4x4 Diesel Silverado. I gave it a 4inch lift and some 35s. I’m looking for some beginner trails near southern Cali.

@kimprocarione5473 Год назад

The hanging pickup!

@travelingman21000 Год назад

Nice pick on those trails, most newbies will find them fairly easy to do, would add some information about the Mojave Trail and that is of Soda Dry Lake don't cross it if there's been a descent rain within two weeks of your journey go around.

@jrsanchez2517 Год назад

In regards to the Shasta-trinity BDT, I left a comment & posted some pics on your website, of what the mud river crossing (time 12:13 of video) looked like when I did the trail last year. It probably looks more worst right now. A crossover wont be able to make that spot. A 4x4 with a winch or at least rear lockers is recommended.

@OverlandTrailGuides Год назад

We always recommend that our members check the route statuses section, and help to report known issues such as this. Thank you for helping to report this issue-- we've added recommendations for detours have been provided as well. These sort of washouts and other trail issues, are just part of the game. The washout didn't exist as you can tell when we filmed the video, and I anticipate Shasta-Trinity NF will address and fix the issue in the near future.

@thetrailoutthere Год назад

Unfortunately, the lost coast isn't so lost anymore. Awesome video btw!

@OverlandTrailGuides Год назад

Usal Beach maybe, but most folks are too lazy to drive north of there!

@MrBalas3 Год назад

Yeah. At least with Usal really best for Tuesday-Thursday than it’s fine. Or even just early Spring or late Fall. Done it in my stock 2013 RAV4 twice. A bit squirly when muddy, but still enjoyable.

@johnnynephrite6147 9 месяцев назад

My stock Forester has been all over the state, all 5 of these trails and dozens more. The only reason you need a "true 4x4" is if you're lugging 800 lbs of junk you dont need.

@lurch2878 5 месяцев назад

I did the Mojave Road in my 2020 Forester sport. I really want to hit the discovery Trail in anza-borrego. I'm concerned about 'the squeeze' and 'heart attack Hill" is there a line around those obstacles that the subies can take?

@julioli8681 Год назад

Can a Tacoma TRD 4x2 handle these trails?

@keebhaavana3387 Год назад

Are any of these doable with a awd sedan with 5”-7” of clearance?

@onemansthought Год назад

Great video! Any of the 3 northern trails NOT trailer friendly?

@OverlandTrailGuides Год назад

As long as you're pulling something smaller and off-road capable like a turtle back, you'll be fine. Just avoid the out on backs on a few sections of the trails and you should be fine.

@spicylama1681 Год назад

Is it possible for 2WD?

@mikeyy_4 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing! Is there an app where you can find disperse campgrounds, easy trails (for soft roaders) Maps, etc. Thank you

@OverlandTrailGuides 10 месяцев назад

All of these routes and 60+ more can be found on our site Overlandtrailguides.com

@ryannance9673 Год назад

Wish we had off road trail access like aus

@OverlandTrailGuides Год назад

10s of thousands of miles of tracks out in the west, probably over a million with Mexico and BC. Pretty sure we have more total mileage in trails... what's the issue?

@whatablissfullife Год назад

I’m sure a 2wd with enough clearance can handle these in summer as well

@4x4hoth Год назад

I’d like to get the lost coast 4x4 route.

@OverlandTrailGuides Год назад

Hit the website homeslice!

@user-bp5jv1fp4t Месяц назад

Central Valley?

@Jessica_6969 9 месяцев назад

Can I take my Honda fit on any of these trails? I don't have a 4x4 yet I'm saving up one right now.😁

@joelmae827 Месяц назад

I saw a Prius at lost coast

@Jessica_6969 Месяц назад

@@joelmae827 a prius ha I can definitely go then hehehehehe 😁

Where was that cave at in the beginning on video?

@OverlandTrailGuides 2 месяца назад

Watch more than just the intro and you’ll find out ;)

@ricosplace2 11 месяцев назад

Is a full size 2500 gmc to big for these trails? I have an 2500 at4

@OverlandTrailGuides 11 месяцев назад

Yes- you should be fine. You can get all of the info for all of these tracks on our website, and when we think a full size truck will have issues on a particular piece of trail, we'll call that out. Just be prepared for pinstripes-- part of the game in full size rigs.

@jonathanzepeda6048 Год назад

Hey bro! I have a full size 2500 long bed Cummins. Would my truck fit on the lost coast?

@OverlandTrailGuides Год назад

100%!!

@ricosplace2 11 месяцев назад

Hey man, what trails have you found for full suze trucks, i have an GMC AT4 2500, i traded in my new 2023 trd pro 4runner

@tonykim1126 Год назад

Hopefully there are gas stations near by…my GX only get 12-14 mpg and 270 miles between fill ups. I guess I’d need to bring 4-5 gallon of gas with me to these trails.

@OverlandTrailGuides Год назад

Read the route guides on the site, gives info about gas stations, and they're marked within the GPX files as well.

@DjPablo707 Год назад

After these storms we have had up north most of those trails are probably not looking so pretty..

@thebastardchef Год назад

What if I have a 4cyl tacoma? 2wd.

@elmerllamas3792 9 месяцев назад

Measure your differential pumpkin on a flat surface. You should aim for it to be above 8.5 inches, ideally above 9 inches by adding bigger off road tires. If you have an open differential try to add a locker or limited slip done by a professional. It will as good as a 4x4.
