@@HellaAdventures ah man wish I would’ve knew haha. I got zero sleep that night aswell. Wind were insane! Thanks for the wood we used all of it! 🤙🏽

Yes definitely there’s one spot that you might have issues with but you should be fine.

⁠​⁠@@RoamWithJonappreciate the tip. Is the difficulty part going up the rock beds?

@@Mrdavidlee1210 ​​⁠there’s a big dip that leads into a rock step. If you stay toward the left you should be able to clear it. If it’s too much there’s actually a service road that comes in from the 89 but I haven’t taken that way before. I just know it’s flat enough to bring a trailer in.

@@RockRidgeAdventures No worries! 🤙🏽 hope you come on a more relaxed day haha

@@Bluecollarham I wouldn’t say it’s clapped out and I wouldn’t put it on just overlanders. If anything I think the people running their side by sides tossing beer cans everywhere are just as big of an issue. Again what I’ve told people before it’s mostly on the people who aren’t leaving the area better or at minimum’s how it was when they got there. People wanna shit on people who are “overlanders” and those same people are the ones shitting on people for not touching grass 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, the side by side clowns came after the overlanders. I have seen plenty of instagram overlanders leave all kinds of shit on trees, trash in fire pits, and bottle caps and cans everywhere. Everything was better when people didn’t feel the need to record every little 2wd fire road “adventure” . Bowman is nothing it used to be 7-10yrs ago.

@Bluecollarham I mean you can say the same thing for almost anything to be honest. A lot my favorite fishing spots I’ve been going to for decades have been blow out just because of KZbin and geo tagging apps. I don’t have an issue with the amount of people going out and having fun. As long as they respect the land. You should out the people you see leaving their trash everywhere. I think you’d be surprised how much more “overlanders” respect the land vs than the ones that are ruining it. As for me I just like making videos. This channel wasn’t even about overland initially. It was for motovlogging, traveling, and fishing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you 😃🤙🏽

🤘🏽🤘🏽

@@TRD_Explorations I forgot why I didn’t roll it In tbh this was a while ago, my garage was probably too messy

@@RoamWithJon haha ok I got the same problem lol ours is a mess tryna clean it up rn as u can see from my vids lol

@@TRD_Explorations I’m just waiting till it not 100 out and I’ll get to cracking 😂

@@RoamWithJon ya that’s a good point love ur vid Man U just got a new subscriber

No worries 🤙🏽

Yessiiirr!

Yep I still use it every trip pretty much, I even bought the pump camp

@@jonluchessi1643 there’s only one section that could give you trouble I think it’s around the 03:00 mark. Depending on the line you take it could get very off camber. There’s a bypass but I’m not sure how you would navigate it with a trailer tbh. I’m sure if you choose the right line it shouldn’t be an issue.

@@richscoza4362 I’m not completely sure, I’ve never seen the inside of a ram 1500. I don’t even have it mounted anymore tbh I just throw it in the bed lol. It’s easier to move it around when it’s unmounted.

@@RoamWithJon 😂 that’s what I was thinking of doing! TY for the reply and love that Tacoma

@@richscoza4362 ty ty, I had it mounted for some time outside on a bedrack, but it honestly is best just sitting on the bed lol. If I need it to be still I’d just ratchet strap it to something.

@@billyxiong3665 I thought about doing some flex shots lmao but after dealing with the weather the night before I just wanted to go home 😂

@@billyxiong3665 it’s super nice, we just picked the most windy weekend to go 😂

Lmao

It’s very spotty but there is some reception.

I understand where you’re coming from, that’s why I don’t specifically “name” or “geotag” lesser known locations where I go. But bowman being bowman, everyone knows about it. In my opinion us losing access to public land and or trails closing down isn’t going to be because of a KZbin video or people geotagging a location, it’s because people aren’t being taught to respect the land. People don’t know how to leave a place better than when they found it. That why we’re in many cases cleaning up after the people who were there before us.

The mid sized one I believe

I use a topper tent now, and when you crack a corner open on the door there’s sufficient airflow, just made a video about it a few weeks ago

Thank you for your reply! So you sleep on top of the topper now? When you slept inside the topper(in the past) was air flow a big problem(maybe why you sleep up top in the tent because of that very reason?) or was there a way to get so air flow so you could be comfortable? Reason I’m asking is on long trips out west from the mid west I will overnight in a Walmart our a Cracker Barrel and won’t feel comfortable in a tent above the topper. Once out west I think the roof tent(superlite) is a good option but not so much in cities or along highways? Can you advise me on that concern?

No no I still sleep inside the topper lol I use a topper tent it’s an extension that lets you sleep in the topper with the tailgate down. I didn’t really have any issues sleeping inside of the topper with out the topper then until I sealed the bed up.

@@user-yp8ed4er7f I’m not sure off the top of my head I’d say probably ~ 6 inches

😂

@@docmorrell Same here!

@@tt4569 thanks 🙏🏽

@@scotthaworth224 I watched it too, pretty epic trip by them

@@RoamWithJon Have you watched their other videos from over here and in Australia? I am excited about the next US one, it was here in AZ, Bulldog Canyon.

@scotthaworth224 yessir, I’ve been subbed to them for years now lol would love to explore Australia some day

@@RoamWithJon you and me both.

@@pingpongballz5998 it’s a really really light flannel, I started to wear long sleeves and light flannels in the summer time, especially if I know I’m gonna be out for a while, to avoid getting sunburned lol

@@Pazburdem Yes you can, and unlike the oem Camera, there isn’t a giant black spot in the middle if you’re moving.

Oh it’s definitely worth it to go right now, that area with the water crossing is fully submerged probably under 6+ feet of water lol the area is super nice now!

@@Thunderfoot143 the one to eject the key? It’s there.

No worries 🤙🏽 , you can add a shim or some kind of spacer under the knobs aswell to make it easier to remove and install.

Thanks Braddah when are you coming out lol

Mmm I shot this a week before I posted it. Very recent. Yeah if you’re coming up in a sprinter van I wouldn’t suggest coming in through the normal entrance lol. There’s other ways to get to bowman lake.

Thank you! Very very short, if I had to guess probably about 3 miles.

@@RoamWithJon 3 miles and u see the lake? Yeah we planning to go there with couple of friends . This will be our firs time

We are kindna rookie about trails it it going down hill? Thanks for sharing the info!

@@krissryanmndz506 should be just about. It’s actually fairly short. Only took us about 20-30 minutes if I remember correctly.

@@krissryanmndz506 it’s actually pretty steep uphill in some portions. One really off camber section, a coupe water crossings, but aside from that the trail was pretty easy

Thank you, I was using a roam adventure co awning for a while but moved to an ovs 180 degree awning 🤙🏽

Aha thanks! Love the area, sawmill was going to be a backup if there was no room at bowman.

It’s a little wobbly with the stock set up. I eventually ended up making my own mounts. You can use a couple 100lb zip ties to keep it from rocking but then you’d lose the ability to take it off. No issues though off-road it just rocked back and fourth lol

Yeah it was the sharp turn with the step up lol I think she would’ve been fine if the jeep guy would’ve give us way. Usually the people going up have the right away but the guy kept going 🤦🏻‍♂️ Love bowman, we try to go up twice a year if we have time. Cheers 🍻

🙌🏽🙌🏽

Thank you! That sounds like a good Father’s Day aha

No worries 🤙🏽

With some carefully driving you could. I honestly wouldn’t if you didn’t at least have some good tires and sliders

That is true LOL not gonna lie but it’s nice having everything premade and fitted

Do you know if this rack would be compatible if I have a sunroof? Do you think it would interfere with it?

@@nickorozco5933 it shouldn’t, it’s just like any other rack in the market and mounts the same Way.

There’s a little door you can take off. You can then use something like a box or half of a cup to block the initial flow of oil so it doesn’t go everywhere. Then replace it with a fumoto valve if you’d like

Ahh man it’s gonna be super nice, we might go back up this weekend haha.

Ya next time I stay the whole weekend lol

Tbh I’m not 100% sure, I’d ask the cali raised guys to see if they would be an issue in the mean time, I would think structurally the front ones are the most important.

Ok thanks for the reply. Now for some reason my bolts don’t line up exactly with the holes so I gotta figure that out. Did you have any issues getting on the 6 bolts? Me and my neighbor just wrestled with it for 30 minutes before calling it a night

@@laceface4130 negative had zero issues it was a basic bolt on process for me

Lmao when theyre new it’s kinda rough but they break in and become easier to take down and put up
