You can't have a viking funeral in the desert,u need a body of water for that!!!!!!😂.either the heat caused the fire and melted the tank ,or the tank sprung a leak and ignited the brush. What I got out of this so far is that the gas tank is made of plastic? Is that even legal? I thought fuel tanks had to be made of metal . My wife would have left me out there.

How did you get a hole in the gas tank ? is the bronco gas tank made of plastic ? I heard of oil pan made of plastic but is the gas tank made of plastic ?

Quite a story, as promised. Is there a cat converter "upwind" of that spot? Wonder if sometimes ignited there and flew back. And I gotta say, I was distracted by the clean garage, I don't know how to do that :-)

A few guys on my last trip had those blowers, pretty handy to dust off the hatch/tailgate before going in and also to stoke the camp fires

Good stuff and glad the Bronco and you are ok! I’ve always been worried when driving through sagebrush for this very reason!

As always....excellent video.

What a scary moment that must have been. You seem like you kept your cool - I may have panicked. Great suggestions, Brian! Just ordered a fire extinguisher mount, extinguisher, and plug clay.

The white fire extinguishers for marine/auto can have a different spray pattern/distance than regular red ABC ones. Generally white ones are for closer up than red from what I've seen at a box store anyway. Specialty automotive ones that are non corrosive are also available and nice if you ever do use it but very expensive.

Wow, you got some lucky! I'll be adding that paste to my BDR kit for sure! (Battle Damage Repair) . ... If you're going to go.... a Viking🔥 funeral would be a pretty badass way to go.

Awesome video! Thank you for all the great tips! Safe travels!

Thank you very much for making this video!

Damn. Plastic fuel tanks definitely have some disadvantages. Thanks for the information, and I guess I’m off to buy fire extinguishers now.

You mentioned Casey. Why hasn’t he made any videos lately? Thanks in advance.

WOW - Thank you Brian!! Soo happy you didn't experience that Viking funeral, and greatly appreciate those tricks you've shared too. Cheers

Good point on insurance, good information to share. So glad that wasn’t worse!

Glad it all worked out, would hate to see you in a Jeep… 😂

I carry both a 2 1/2lb and a 5lb ABC extinguisher. I have the room for them in the Cherokee. I’ve had to use one for somebody else’s fire before.

That’s pretty wild. When you mentioned “blaze a new trail” you weren’t kidding! Always been a fear of mine driving over long dry brush, especially the brush in central/eastern Oregon. My guess it maybe hot components over time just ignited the brush that was trapped then obviously add some wind when driving really gets it going? Could be wrong but yeah that’s a scary one that coulda been a lot worse!

Thanks for sharing! Good Stuff

thanks for sharing!

shoutout wife for picking you up !

so glad ur ok and made it out safe 🙌🙌

Storage to keep predators out of the meat stores???

Ancient crapper perhaps?

I see your International sticker. Tyfys?

Thank ypu for this tip. I thought something was broken

Not sure if you drive on many gravel roads but if you do how are they at not picking up a lot of stones and then flinging them out at high speeds? Thanks.

I live in Southern California so tired of the litter bugs.no one littered in sixty’s sevends gets worse every year it’s disgusting .

had big trouble messing with traps

That is one of my favorite corvettes. Nice ride buddy.

thanks for that video! tell me about your hood supports please....:)

I know you’ve mentioned buying another pair of these tires, but any thoughts on a different tire and a new video series???… It would be fun to see you put another new tire or perhaps a less common set through its paces!

I need room 4 2… gotta bring my bish with me yo!

Hey! It’s amazing to see someone actually enjoy hiking here! My family comes hear yearly as an unwind spot. My father and his brother built the wall around the campfire and the cairn at the top of the hill. I know it’s public land, and that we own nothing there, but the deforesting there has really frustrated my family, and prefer if you could try to keep the places you go unknown as not to disturb the forest and surrounding area from pollution and littering. You could say the general area or state where these areas are located. This isn’t my channel or life, so do what you want, but just a helpful recommendation

I'm glad to see that the riffraff from bend hasn't made it out there yet.

I SO read the title wrong. Read that as 15k one year old humans..... Oops. Great video, thanks for sharing

I’m excited to see more info of what the new tracks they found in New Mexico will reveal. 23,000 year old footprints should have more evidence around you’d think.

Awesome video! I love all the history! Thank you!

I’ve seen that dig site on Google Earth, I wondered what that was. Thanks for sharing, awesome history.

That archaeology site goes back at least 18,000 years. At the time and up until 7,000 years ago there was a large lake SE of the site and the outlet for that lake ran right by what was probably a hunting camp against the rimrock. They believe there was a seismic event 7,000 years ago that drained the lake away and the people left. Evicted by Mother Nature!

Thank you for another interesting exploration of Oregon's desert country! Looking forward to your Bronco fire video too. Cheers

I really enjoy your explorations. I am surprised that you don't have more subscribers. Keep up the good work. When I am in Oregon I try to visit the area that you have posted. Sorry about your tripod. That's a bummer. PS - I didn't see any glitchy video.
