Our New Start In Oregon - Mt. Hood & Oregon Coast [S1E1] | Conquest Overland

[@ConquestOverland]

Where has 2024 taken you so far?

[@jpz_6904]

So far for me. Leslie Gulch. AMAZING! Cheers! Getting a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and gonna start documenting. Also used the Kakadu shower for the first time. Also amazing. Keep posting, love watching your content!

[@shineinouzen7412]

How does this not have more views? This production quality is really, really good!

[@ConquestOverland]

I sincerely appreciate it, thank you so much! I suppose the algorithm just doesn’t like me… 😆

[@503_adventures8]

Oceanside is one of a kind! One of my all-time favorite places. Glad you got to see it! Great video!

[@ConquestOverland]

It's absolutely beautiful, can't beat that area when the weather is just right for sunset 😉 👍

[@ridgelineoverlanding]

Nice to see you made it up to Sea 2 Sky country. I’m an hour East of Vancouver BC so I’m well aware of how gorgeous it is up at Porteau, Squamish and Whistler.

[@alexrieser7772]

Ooo im excited for this! I can definitely see you going to the painted hills, timber gulch, wallowa lake, smith rock, going to all the waterfalls! Enjoy your time in oregon!

[@ConquestOverland]

Definitely going to be putting those on the list, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to getting back out on our next adventure! 🤘

[@Dctrue76]

As usual, your videos are always awesome! I'm happy that you're so willing to try new things and places. Welcome back!

[@ConquestOverland]

Thanks for tuning in and watching! It's always fun to venture out of the norm and comfort zone to experience new things, this year will certainly be packed full of that! Cheers 😊

[@ZacheryKoppert]

Wohoo for Oregon exploration! 🎉

[@djmygui]

Great video and update! Welcome to Portland! Can’t wait to watch your 2024 adventure!!!

[@jplewis01]

It's Great to have you down in my neck of the woods! There are some great spots out of the way for your adventures down this way! Maybe we'll cross tire tracks some time.

[@tylerrakes82]

That's an awesome cg. Stayed there a couple of years ago when I managed to randomly reserve a spot there. I think we had the spot next to you. I used to really dislike the Oregon Coast, but I've started to really enjoy it the last couple of years. My family ended up doing a similar mountains to coast trip when I was younger. Started off looking around Adams for a dispersed site. Ended up striking out, so headed to Newport and stayed there.

[@kimberlybrun3937]

Such a good video michael! The pictures clicked in added a nice new format and I LOVE the music overlaying the nature sounds. Perfect balance and my ears and eyes were happy watching! Can’t wait to hear more of your new year adventures and what’s to come in Oregon.

[@WanderAsOne]

Was such a fun trip with amazing views. Oregon is just stunning and I can’t wait to continue to explore it together 🎉

[@WiekingderViking]

A nice bit of narration. Good photography! Thanks for a professional product.

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you for the support and watching, means a lot!

[@lda7473]

WELCOME Back! Missed yah adventures...May you blessed for your new home/journey in OR.

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you, it’s good to be back! Appreciate the kind words, can’t wait to share more from our new home base 😊

[@dominicwilkerson]

Oregon! Congrats on all the epic things yall have been on lately.

[@ConquestOverland]

Thanks man! It’s been a wild ride so far this year, can’t wait for all that’s ahead as well 👍

[@ridgelineoverlanding]

Great video and thanks for the updates. They say a change is as good as a rest…and you’ve got that covered! I’m a bit surprised at the sleeping change up. Did you consider putting some lighter gear on a case on top of the RTT? Sleeping in the Jeep has it’s benefits, but it’ll be all to easy to pile “stuff” on top of the bed then have to clean it all up when it’s time to make camp. Do you then put extra gear outside while sleeping? Not trying to be negative…just pondering as I too like to keep things fresh.

[@WanderAsOne]

We’re still trying to work out the quirks as we take more and more trips with this set up! We have seemed to narrow down the things on top of the “bed” to things that are taken out and set up once arriving at camp such as the kitchen table, devos lights, our personal bags are moved to the front seats etc and then the bed is ready to go! We’re hoping to get out here again soon to share a little more on the set up 😊

[@pnw_element9822]

Welcome to the hood but I’m out in Washington county hopefully see ya rig on the road near progress ridge area

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you! Definitely a lot to explore out in this area, looking forward to exploring more as things open back up!

[@TripFishingMyLife]

Greet video..like..

[@TheEpicUnknown..]

Great video dude. Love Oregon. It’s so beautiful there. I can only imagine all the secret gems to discover.

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you so much! Oregon is proven to be incredible so far, can’t wait to get back out on our next trip here soon! 🙌

[@TheEpicUnknown..]

@@ConquestOverland Nice bro. For me, having a full time job and trying to shoot video for my channel has been really hard. Hopefully I will live my dream and go full time as a content creator. Keep up your content. It’s really good!

[@ConquestOverland]

@@TheEpicUnknown.. I feel ya on that, been doing it for years… it’s tough but you have to always remember to do it for you first and have fun with it! Keep at it and always keep learning! Appreciate all your support 🤘🍻

[@TheEpicUnknown..]

@@ConquestOverlandAny time brother. You share great content. You and others inspire me to push forward. Hopefully our paths cross some day. I have family in Vancouver, Camas, Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Aberdeen area. Thanks for replying man. Can’t wait for your next video!

[@maddrummerhef]

Gated and blocked by snow…..welcome to Oregon lol I’d tell you it gets better but I’d be lying 😂. That said if you escape down south more and over towards the coastal ranges you can find some sweet spots and learn where the best chances of not getting blocked by gates and snow are

[@maddrummerhef]

Also if you get a chance check out Mary’s peak outside Corvallis. It’s a busy spot but the view can’t be beat!

[@UniquelyUsAdventures]

Love that you use an electric coffee grinder. The handheld one takes sooooo long. Looks cool in IG posts but not fun in real life hahaha

[@ConquestOverland]

Oh absolutely! I used to use the handheld but needed my coffee a little sooner in the mornings 😆

[@coyote_overland]

We do a lot of stuff around here in oregon if your ever interested in coming and hanging out and exploring let us know!

[@billnova1]

Head to the mountains and end up at the beach lol

[@ConquestOverland]

Why not? Get the best of both worlds! 🤷‍♂️

[@jamesstephen5694]

Micheal and Shelby, how do you like the Jeep Grand Cherokee to the Toyota 4Runner? Thanks for your answers and I love your channel, thank you for the awesome tour and videos of your travels, from Florida.

[@ConquestOverland]

If you're looking to go all out on aftermarket parts and make an "overland rig" the 4Runner is the way to go. Aftermarket support for the Grand Cherokee is nearly non-existent, though I knew that when I bought it. I love the GC for how much comes with it out of the gate. Everything from tech, luxury, towing capability, air lift suspension, and efficiency. I have more than double the milage and range (30+ mpg fully loaded) as opposed to a built out 4Runner can get but certainly cannot "rock crawl" like a 4Runner. At the end of the day you have to find something that works best for you. I personally only wanted to buy a vehicle and use it right away for my type of travels as opposed to buying a vehicle and then dumping tens of thousands of dollars into making it what you see on social media. Hope that helps! In the coming weeks I'll be filming a walk around of the Jeep to help explain my these questions and why I shook up my audience going from a Tacoma to this 🤣

[@dirtbagmoto]

I assume you have frequent questions about places you camp like exact location. Do you happen to have that information shared somewhere already? Always glad to see new vids, cheers!

[@PNWXMATT]

HEY BROTHER ✌️

[@ConquestOverland]

Hope all is well man, thanks for tuning in!

[@Adammorris23435]

ALL of the Mount Hood campgrounds close on October 1st, which is way too early if you ask me. Although, there is plenty of dispersed camping if you know where to look.

[@ConquestOverland]

Knowing where to look is the key… especially on a limited time budget though I’d say we still made the best of it despite those challenges 😉

[@dancangakungu2894]

Michael, which camera do you use please

[@ConquestOverland]

Currently using the Lumix S5II with Sigma lenses 📷

[@PNWXMATT]

I PICK UP MY OVRLND CAMPER IN A FEW WEEKS. NOW THAT YOU ARE IN OREGON LETS GET OUT SOON

[@ConquestOverland]

Nice, that’s so awesome to hear! Let’s make a trip happen, need some local insights on the good spots haha

[@PNWXMATT]

@ConquestOverland Heck yes bro sounds great!!

[@mattadamsphotography]

Hey brother - welcome to the state, I hope you enjoy yourself. I ask that please please while you’re here do not publicly out the places you’re camping at. It has an impact. I’ve lived here a long time and I’ve seen a huge impact from social channels like this sharing areas that weren’t highly trafficked. It’s very frustrating and impacts the people that live locally. Anyways have fun, and if you’re ever looking for someone to get out with around here I’m game

[@ConquestOverland]

Completely understand where you’re coming from on that. I’m sure you’ve noticed in all videos of mine I do not specifically mention locations (aside from public knowledge of campgrounds) nor do I offer coordinates on paid platforms such as Patreon like many others unfortunately do… I recognize the impact and have even been apart of numerous trail clean ups through Tread Lightly. It’s definitely unfortunate but always need to remind those to leave it better than you found it. With that said, I’m game to learn more about this beautiful state during our short stay here. Let’s make it happen!

[@mattadamsphotography]

@@ConquestOverland thanks for the response brother! Appreciate everything you do to protect these places. I just DM’d you on instagram, would be cool to get out

[@scottg]

Where did the Taco go!?

[@ConquestOverland]

Sold that over a year ago my man!

[@rocklander.project]

Yeah buddy! 🤙🏼. Congrats on all your moves wishing you both nothing but success and happiness 🙌🏻

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you so much, means a lot! Looking forward to the year ahead and all we have planned!

[@extravaganza369]

nice video

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you so much!
