Summer Heat - Incredible Campsite View | Conquest Overland

[@armandoyourpersonaljeweler7558]

I like that nyou are really dedicated to keeping things simple, I also appreciate that you focus more about the experience and less talking like crazy. The music is awesome too!!

[@ConquestOverland]

What I try to strive for! All the gear and equipment is really a means to an end, the experience and fully encompassing your surroundings is what it's all about! 👍

[@cbmathews0440]

This tacoma is one of my favorites

[@livingobject]

So glad I just found this channel. It's got everything I want, camping, trucks, and the PNW.

[@ConquestOverland]

Right on, appreciate the support!

Views were amazing. Thanks for not going all bad mouth for the awning failure. Things happen, sometimes their our faults sometimes just a failure. Just have such a great attitude. Sure makes the outing more enjoyable. Keep up the great videos and upgrades on your truck. Safe travels my friend.

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you very much! It's all a learning and experience curve, never really know until you're in the field and situations arise. Much more on the way, appreciate all the support!

[@KrokemOutdoors]

Great video, man. Looking forward to more 👍 P.S. thanks for the review on the 270 awning, eliminating this one off the wish list 🍻

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you so much, appreciate the support! Happy to help with the awning review, caused me headache a couple times so only fair for others to see an honest perception of it 😉👍

[@senrusho]

Was looking at a batwing...not anymore. WOW

[@ConquestOverland]

Definitely a no-go! 😉

[@vazquezherb1]

Would love update/review of GFC. How it’s working out with the Decked system and your setup inside. Positive and negative. Super intrigued and thinking about placing a order for a GFC. Was planning to get a RSI SmartCap. And continue tenting camping. But GFC seems great!

[@ConquestOverland]

Absolutely! High on the list of next content to put out, stay tuned! Plus side if you move forward with the GFC, you’ll have plenty of time for reviews with their year out production timeline 😉👍

[@glorialiu7536]

Great video as always! That view is insane

[@ConquestOverland]

Thanks David!! 👊

[@scottalpine]

You picked a great spot, I’ve been there a couple time but I can’t recall if I’ve ever camped there or not. The views are epic.

[@ConquestOverland]

There are numerous great spots within this area, one of the main reasons why I'm usually out that direction! 👍

[@Livingonit]

@@ConquestOverland what is the trail called? I love to go and camp there.

[@TheKPDX]

@@Livingonit If you go up 70 just S of Greenwater most of it looks like that

[@jasonscottish2824]

This is such a beautiful trail, I just purchased a new Jeep and would love to take out here, is this around Mt Rainier NP?

[@ConquestOverland]

Right on, congress with the new purchase! This was outside of Rainer NP in the Greenwater area. Plenty of trails out there and many of them lead to stunning views!

[@ecrissman]

Great video as usual. I was planning on a trail just north of there next week. I may try this route instead since it’s a bit closer to Rainier. Thanks for clearing the way:) Can’t wait after seeing those views!

[@ConquestOverland]

Appreciate it, thank you! Have fun out there, beautiful views in every direction!

[@BlindmanOutdoors]

its a sheer scorcher up here in Alberta as well, probably the hottest year I've seen since child hood

[@ConquestOverland]

For sure! I can only imagine what the impacts of the forest areas will be in terms of wild fires this year. Responsible recreation will be an absolute key to help minimize the affects.

[@vazquezherb1]

Forgot to mention…love your videos.

[@ConquestOverland]

Sincerely appreciate that! 🙌

[@TheKPDX]

It's amazing how many similar sites are up there! Way to go with that handsaw. While you'll get lots of comments about chainsaws, a simple hand saw is still a cost effective, easy to transport solution - still, that 2nd tree, Wow! Good for you! I have that Tiregater table and love it. It's particularly nice when loading and unloading as just a place to set stuff so it's out of the wet or dust. You might want to consider an amber or red LED alternative for your tent light as those hues are much less likely to draw in insects. I start with that and once the tent is closed, move to white. I have amber & red interior lights for the same reason. Keep up the good work. Love seeing locals out and about. You have a very nice tone to your videos as well.

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you very much! I know the hand saw wasn't ideal but still got the job done at the end of the day while burning a couple calories 😉. Good tip on the light, I've used red in the past and need to go back to it as the bugs are horrible with the standard white. Sincerely appreciate the continued support! Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend and happy New Years!

[@TheKPDX]

@@ConquestOverland I primarily used red for decades but in this KZbin time, I noticed the Aussies selling primarily amber lights and then did some field testing with my own amber and red lights down in the Greenwater basin in August. Finally, did a little light research and apparently orange (of which amber is closest if not orange by a different name) is apparently the wavelength least likely to attract. I had one of those little UV light & bug zappers but all that did was draw insects to the campsite and create a horrendous mess. Now I only use it once I've sealed the truck or tent and want to eliminate any stragglers I didn't exclude.

[@TheKPDX]

@@ConquestOverland Honestly, I loved the handsaw. I've done this kind of stuff for 30 years and most of it was on a shoe string budget and needed to be inexpensive and portable. I always appreciate when someone out there shows that you can do this stuff without fancy equipment. Again - that big log was quite an accompishment. If I couldn't have dragged it out of the way, I probably would have been lazy and turned around. Good on you for clearing the trail.

[@BuccaneerOverland]

Your intro music is just great! Thanks for another great video.

[@ConquestOverland]

Appreciate the support, thank you!

[@MV-Dan]

Awesome find, great video as usual. I will be out that way this weekend, hopefully I find a spot like that!

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you! There is plenty to witness in the Greenwater area, best part of Mount Rainier NP is just down the road 😉

[@carlosparacio5679]

Great! I was just up near there camping over the weekend. We did Bethel Ridge, and then down to the Greenwater area overnight on the White River. Must have just missed you! Next time.

[@ConquestOverland]

Oh very nice, love the White River area! I'm sure our paths will cross again! 👍

[@bradshutler9356]

My opinion of the Bat Wing awning: JUNK! 6 broken hinges in less than a year, zipper on the bag broke, tear on the fabric near a hinge when it broke, two up right poles that wont hold. Contacted Rhino and they were very rude and told me "maybe you should buy another brand if your not happy with ours" No more Rhino for me and by the way, there was no wind when these failures occurred. Just the weight was enough to break it when setting up. This is an awning that takes two to set up and I'm not so sure that would keep this P.O.S.from breaking. Rhino also accused me of abusing it, not true I always take good care of my equipment. I have been "Overlanding" for 48 years and know what good equipment is, went back to my old proven system. Another awesome video!

[@ConquestOverland]

Oh wow, 6 hinges is certainly a lot! Definitely unfortunate about all the bad experiences even worse when the company won't offer the most basic problem resolutions. Good thing there are many more options out on the market but as with anything, quality long lasting gear is worth the upfront investment. Thanks again for the continued support!

[@kudraadk]

Great views and I see Jason has you hooked on Pendleton too. I haven't been able to get the Midnight around here just the regular Pendleton. It is my favorite whiskey.

[@ConquestOverland]

He certainly has! 😆 It certainly has become a new favorite, Total Wine is usually my go-to spot for finding in the local grocery stores don't carry it.

[@mvonstoffler7148]

Great video, great channel. Your content creation and editing is top notch. Question about your Maxtrax mount to the GFC beef rack cross bar. Did you mount with an Axia Alloy bracket? If so what fasteners did you use to mount the bracket to the beef bar? Thanks!

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you very much! As for the mounts, yes it is the Axia Alloy brackets and I used the GFC platform camper track t-nuts in 10/32 to mount on the bars themselves. So far it's been working great! 👍

[@tacoburn5198]

Awesome close-up views of Rainier! Sorry about the batwing. Really surprised about that main pivot point being plastic?!

[@ConquestOverland]

The spot has certainly become a new favorite for that area. Definitely unfortunate about the awning, hoping that construction changes down the road, though until then I have multiple sets of spares on the way! 😉

[@AKlivn]

Keep up the great work Mike!!

[@carollyngillespie3860]

So sorry about the batwing. Maybe, they'll reconsider the metal. Push for it. Like you said, they've obviously gotten enough complaints.

[@ConquestOverland]

Definitely not sure why the sudden and drastic change, I only moved forward with the new one for expanded coverage, makes me second guess that decision now...

[@JeffreyTylerJohnson]

Nice!

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you!

[@windidiot]

I commend you for using a handsaw. Especially since it is so dry and hot.

[@ConquestOverland]

Appreciate it, was a nice way to get the day's workout in too! 😉 👍

[@jamesholloway2284]

Thanks for taking us along on another adventure! Bummer about the awning but I am glad you didn't let that ruin the fun. Love your content! That view was amazing 👏 😍

[@ConquestOverland]

Thanks James, all part of the experience though I've certainly learned to carry multiple hinge spares from now on 😆

[@Victor47930]

Awesome video as usual. I have the same stove but where did you get that adapter to be able to hook it up to a larger propane tank?

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you! Just used a standard propane adaptor hose that still allows for connecting to the stove itself: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C1KZK5W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@samdesousa1667]

How are you. My family and I are fairly new to Washington as we move to Puyallup from Florida. I am getting a new truck and will start exploring. How do you find these trails and spots?? Thanks in advance and would love to join you sometime.

[@ConquestOverland]

Welcome to Washington!! You’ll quickly find out how diverse our landscape is by exploring something in any direction you drive. As far as resources I use for trails and dispersed camping check out: Google Earth, Gaia GPS, TrailsOffroad. Between the three you should have a great head start for exporting new areas and saving spots you come across. In the coming time I do plan on releasing an episode on how I do this process, stay tuned! Until then have fun and congrats on the new truck!

[@TheKPDX]

A DeLorem Gazetteer and Benchmark Atlas are helpful as well

[@markgilman6154]

[@chrissolomon8868]

great camping video 👍🏼 have a suggestion though... pls carry a power saw with you.. it will save time and efforts ... also a night time camp fire is much needed

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you! Saw is on the way, though at the end of day still made it to the destination needed. Much more on the way, stay tuned 👍

[@cehc25]

You have a new subscriber from Bolivia! Beautiful video, and nice colors. Your main camera is a Panasonic? Are you using any particular color profile or lut to grade it? Thanks!

[@ConquestOverland]

Wow, right on! Currently using the Lumix G-85 as the main camera, I do shoot in Cinelike D with just basic balancing of the color profile in Final Cut Pro editing software. I've experimented around with LUTs but do not use them in every video.

Hi, nice to greet you from Chile, I've been subscribed to your channel for a while. I would like to draw your attention because in this video there is a gas adapter that you use in your propane tank that I would like to purchase via Amazon, but I don't know what it is...😔 I have a camplux kitchen and it has a gas regulator very similar to the one that you've got. Could you tell me under what name to look for it on amazon? Greetings and thank you very much for your videos.

Hey there! Thank you so much for the support, means a lot! The hose I used (and currently still do) was purchased on Amazon simply searching under "propane adapter hose".

Just need trail buddies to lead the way!

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you very much for the support! Washington certainly has plenty of trails to offer, many of which a fairly tame and just need a sense of adventure! The BDR is a fantastic trail during our summer months. With the snow melt off, you shouldn't have any issues taking on this trip. Mainly gravel roads with the occasional deep potholes of rutted out sections all of which could be taken on with a 4x4 vehicle and proper tire placement. Stay tuned as I'm hoping to put together a meet up one of these days.

[@TheKPDX]

I would Echo his support. There are plenty of places you should be safe by yourself. Historically I always traveled remote and solo. Just make sure you have a spare tire and don't go over anything you don't think you could return through. Knowing when to stop/turn around is the most important skill of all. The WABDR is a great place to start, especially the Liberty to Ellensburg routes or maybe Umptanum ridge. Another group to consider is NWOL (Northwest Overland)

Love the views and gear. Went on a overlanding trip to central Oregon with some serious overland pros. They had a backup plan for their backup plan. They had HF radio which could transmit 400 miles, refrigerators, ice cream, fire wood, 10 gallons of spare fuel, trama kits, board games, extra water and shade. What none of them had was a RTT or a "Raptor Awning ". "Attaching things to a movable platform makes it stationary, if your zipper on your RTT or Awning gets stuck, you have to deal with it to move and you paid a great amount of money for it. Ground tents and awnings, not so much.
