[@jillimpink8198]

We enjoyed watching this adventure and look forward to the next one.

[@badroadindustries3250]

Thanks Jill!

[@PostFamilyPilgrimage]

This was some serious wind! Wow! Great video!

[@badroadindustries3250]

Yes... the wind was intense!.

[@captseamus]

I would have gotten in my truck!! Tilt the seat back and had a heavy wool blanket hoodie wrapped around me. Turn on the truck heater when needed... Next time the diesel heater outlet vent would also be remodeled to fit in the passenger window as my ACE IN THE HOLE...

[@badroadindustries3250]

Excellent plan!!

[@itsnevertoolateforadventur3653]

Great video! Been through AHs in a rental car and our truck camper, but unfortunately, we did not have our Jeep with us that trip. Need to get back there with the Jeep. And I definitely need to check out that mine!!

[@badroadindustries3250]

Thanks! Yes.. you'll have a lot of fun exploring in your jeep. If you haven't hiked the Mobius Arch, you'll want to add that to your list too!

[@Kung.Pao.Kitty.]

We were there this past December. Absolutely loved it. Our stock FJ handled everything without a problem. Can't wait to go back and travel further north of the 395.

[@badroadindustries3250]

Awesome! So many more trails off 395. I've been going for years and still have much more to explore!!

[@samajier2566]

Amazing

[@badroadindustries3250]

Thanks!

[@TheJoepeanut]

Incredible footage

[@badroadindustries3250]

Thanks!

Perhaps a sturdier tent in the future.

[@badroadindustries3250]

Tent was plenty sturdy. One of the guys forgot to put the strut supports in which caused the shell to move with the wind. The other two tents held up great!

[@TrailNewbie]

Nice! Love this video! Are you guys from Central CA?

[@badroadindustries3250]

We are from the Bay Area near Half Moon Bay

[@TrailNewbie]

@@badroadindustries3250 right on! Fresno here!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mattperkins2311]

one of the first videos i've seen with those brand trailers. we have one of the earlier models before they switched to tribe name. (used to be tuff stuff) we live right at the top of those snow covered tehachapi mountains. is the stove still the weak link or have you upgraded it?

[@badroadindustries3250]

You live in a great place for overlanding! We bought 4 of the trailers and are planning on setting them up to lead adventures and offer them to rent out to other overlanders. Yes! The stove is the weak link and we are planning on upgrading them. Aside from that, we love the trailers!

[@raualmandera7642]

better to avoid 😮😢

[@JCreole]

What type of trailers were those?

[@badroadindustries3250]

2022 Tribe Basecamp

[@juliavaneerden1168]

I had the same question. Thank you! Great video.

[@optimus163]

And not one set of chains anywhere ?

[@badroadindustries3250]

Ha ha... I had a set of chains for my jeep and the sprinter. We were having too much fun. Saving them for a bale out if we needed them.

[@brandonke690]

my jeep doesn't even get 16mpg with just me in it and 315s,

[@badroadindustries3250]

I know.. I've owned jeeps nearly all my adult life and never saw better than 15 mpg. This new JL has a 4cyl turbo and averages 20 city and hwy.... and that's with stock 35's and 4:56 gears.

[@harrytraction1380]

And that’s why I own a sprinter van!😂.

[@badroadindustries3250]

Excellent choice of vehicle! My 4x4 sprinter is eight years old and with 150K carefree miles. It's been extremely reliable and proven to be a rugged overland vehicle.

[@Usernamenotabailable]

Who tf buttons the top button on a polo? Weirdo. Great video though.

[@badroadindustries3250]

Yes.. my wife and kids call me a weirdo too! Thanks!!

[@Usernamenotabailable]

@@badroadindustries3250 lol

[@badroadindustries3250]

My wife is laughing out loud reading your comment. She called me a Wierdo too!!

[@greywolf97883]

why didn't you air down your tires?

[@badroadindustries3250]

Excellent point! I've tried that in the past and found that to work in some situations. I found that firm A/T's work best in this kind of snow as they pack in the snow in the tread and give good grip and have a better chance to dig down to the hard surface below. We were also equipped with chains if needed and would have tried airing down but honestly were having too much fun with the winches and straps.

[@dmitryq2997]

Volume goes up and down between pieces of same scene, very hard to watch.

[@badroadindustries3250]

Thanks for the feedback! First real video with voice over... I'll work on it for the next one.
