After a 16-hour ferry ride from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, we make a break for the mountains and attempt to access a remote mountain lake, a camp spot considered inaccessible without 4x4. This is our biggest mission yet! We'll push the van to its limits .. and possibly past? If you love epic views, nail-biting adventure, living on the edge, and watching a 2WD delivery van being put through its paces, you'll love this story! Ride along as we go do something crazy!!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. The cinematography. The storytelling. The risks. The suspense. The beauty. The food. The laughter. The mad skills you have in every department to pull this off. You two deliver on all fronts. I hope this video goes nuts on the view count. It deserves 100K!

@TheStoryTillNow 23 дня назад

When I did this trail in 2021 there were multiple landslides and washouts considered impassible. I was the first one to navigate through them, by myself, in my Jeep. The trail is a lot easier now, but back then, this van wouldn’t have made it an hour into the trail. Yes, we have heavily built vehicles. They are not built for just one trail or situation, they are to get through anything. When we did this trail again last year, we also did several side trails that, if attempted by this 2wd can, probably would result in the death of the driver. Props to these two for making it through the trail though. Drive whatever you want, just go on adventures, and be nice to people. No need to be haters.

@SlowRoamers 22 дня назад

@@TheStoryTillNow no hate here, buddies comment just made me chuckle. From what I’ve gathered the trail changes a lot from year to year and the difficulty of the trail changes also dependent on time of year.

Fantastic photography!! I am looking into getting a chevy van with a Quigley conversion but am stuck on V8 or the V6. The V8 only gets 13 mpg highway. What does your 4.3 V6 get on highway?

@SlowRoamers 26 дней назад

We have a 4.8L v8 and we get around 12-15mpg depending on what kind of driving we do. The van weighs 8700lbs, so it’s a lot to move around. If you keep your van light with the v8, I think you’d be surprised how much better the mileage is.

@reidcrosby6241 25 дней назад

If you need to worry about the mileage you'd better pick a different vehicle. Vans/trucks/jeeps= bad mileage.

@locomotivebreth1910 25 дней назад

@@reidcrosby6241 I was glad I had a truck that got above average mpg in the late 1970's. Gas rationing was in effect restricting amount of fill ups, alternate days allowed to get gas and always long lines. An extra 3 mpg gave me an extra 60 miles on a tank -- which meant less time in a gas line or waiting for your alternate day to come up. With the anti carbonites gaining power in the US, wars in middle east, wars in Europe and instability in the China sea -- I would not be surprised to see rationing again. And that extra 3 mpg will be very welcome.

@reidcrosby6241 24 дня назад

@@locomotivebreth1910 my point was IF you want full size van /vehicle and are going to load it down, you CANT escape the "inefficiency" ... many times an overworked smaller engine will get worse mileage and increased wear/tear. I had a 10k pound 2014 v10 ambo, 5r110 automatic, got 15-15.5 mpg in mountains at 65mph. Thats impressive in my mind. I am running a 12-13k 2003 4x4 Quigley and just got 13 mpg (without any chip upgrade) on hilly state roads in WV. With a chip, better air flow, highway speed of 65 prob get 15-16.

@@patrickfight1 NOICE!! See?! 🙌🏼. Slow and steady wins the Algo-race. I’m FAR from Overlanding myself. As I drive in a Dodge Caravan 2006 STOCK. But when I went to Arizona Desert, I decided to go up some buggie off-road trails in those badlands ridges in my FWD. I was impressed. I drive up in NM mountain snowed-icy passes and passed up semis in one lane Arctic blasted Southern states. Sure it was all harrowing, but I started to see that 2WD have got some capabilities.

lol, I can understand his hesitance to do that climb, it almost had us turned around.

@cfh4201969 26 дней назад

The only thing you really need to be careful about is if your rear wheels hop off the ground under momentum. Because when they come back down and grip the ground you could break an axle shaft. Chromoly axles would be a good upgrade. Great job getting through there 👍👍

Great trail, I biked it twice from Telkwa to Terrace. Also, please be sure to trust me when I say the case is made to live in Terrace, not Smithers. Miles better, centralized to so much more, and you don't get the entitled attitude.

@SlowRoamers 3 дня назад

lol, interesting point of view. Thanks for watching!

Terrace is bigger, with a bigger new hospital, better airport with cheaper and more frequent flights and better access to multiple fishing rivers. It's an industry hub. Smithers is smaller, more pastoral, a balance between industry and agriculture, kind of a mix between the coastal and the interior. Disagree about the entitled attitude. Visit both to decide.
