Crossing The Gaspe by ATV - Part 1

This is part 1 of a 4-part series of videos highlighting the beautiful, and rugged Gaspe region of the Province of Quebec, Canada. Wilderness, rivers, mountains, and the associated issues like blown tires, blown belts, overheating, and getting lost - "It's all part of the adventure!" Watch a group of friends traverse through some of the most challenging and rewarding trails anywhere. We traveled over 1200 km (750 miles) in 7 days. In this video we start our adventure in Amqui and travel to Point-a-la-Croix.

i never got to do a week long trip when i had my rzr ..... if i ever get another sxs i really wanna do gaspe .

[@EastCoastATV]

It's a great trip. Newfoundland is too!

[@lloydmarche7263]

Very nice. Looks like a fun time. I was out for a long ride last month . The flat ferry visited my friends pioneer twice within a couple km half way through the trip. 9 plugs later and 5 air ups we made it back to the camper .

[@EastCoastATV]

You never know when the Flat Fairy is going to visit. It's a good thing you were prepared with plugs and an air compressor. Thanks for postin!

[@IslandADV]

Excellent work repairing those flats. That's experience and and good kit working together for sure. Me and a buddy are headed up this way to do the Gaspe portion of the Trans Quebec Trail. We leave next weekend. 7 days on the KLR and DR 650. Great video. Cheers!

[@EastCoastATV]

Have a great time. I'd be interested in hearing how you like the trip on motorcycles.

[@givergummer]

my personal rule when gassing up, is to always put the gas cap in your front pocket of your pants / shorts so don't lose the cap, or forget to put it back on.

[@EastCoastATV]

Good tip. That's what I've been doing for a while now too.

[@lmac5344]

Been following your other videos for years, and finally made the NL trip last week. Amazing time. Guess this one will be on the list now....thank you for making these videos.

[@EastCoastATV]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you had the chance to do the Newfoundland trip and glad you enjoyed it so much. I hope you do the Quebec one, too. Thanks for posting.

[@sambroify]

Love the videos !

[@EastCoastATV]

Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@philbishop283]

Just curious. You mention to go to your website to get the information etc and if we download your GPX it does not match the video series you have posted here. Different route and hotels. Why such the change

[@EastCoastATV]

I didn't post my actual tracks because of the issues we ran into with closed trails etc. I didn't want anyone else to run into that, so I posted tracks a friend of mine made the week before on a slightly different trip. Here is my actual trails if you want to see them www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1npk_Td5hlrYF41XL1E4KCVxa97xJO9U&usp=sharing

[@philbishop283]

@EastCoastATV Ahh I see.. Well thank you for the update. I have done the NFLD run thanks to your guidance and tracks. Gaspe is much closer to us so this year we will be tackling it. We have a 1000mile 7 day loop we made up here in Ontario which we will be making public soon. Not sure if that is to far for your group to go or not. We have move than one loop. One being more beginner and the other more advanced. We would rank Gaspe and NFLD as beginner for sure. The advanced loop is more like 500 miles but will still take 7 days to complete. Look forward to see where you go this year.

[@deanprosser5224]

I would love to do one of these trips, they look a hoot.

[@EastCoastATV]

They totally are. Get a few friends together, decide on dates to go and start planning for next year. Thanks for posting.

[@jameshall1691]

Great video and a few helpful tips like the extra gas cap

[@EastCoastATV]

Thanks. Yeah who knew a gas cap would be an issue? If you buy a spare make sure it fits your machine, not all gas caps are standard size.

[@jameshall1691]

@@EastCoastATV i finally got my Ranger after 6 months and have been enjoying it all the time

[@EastCoastATV]

@@jameshall1691 That's great, I'm glad to hear you're out there enjoying the outdoors.

[@andrewlynds2973]

Man oh man I can't wait to watch this series over and over until I plan a Quebec trip. Awesome as always 👏

[@EastCoastATV]

Thanks! It's a fun trip. I think you'll like it.

[@kellydeveau9319]

No sled or sxs trip is complete without Brothers Pepperoni !

[@EastCoastATV]

Damn straight!

[@hvalour1]

The thought of losing a gas cap horrifies me. Was there a brand name of vehkcle that didnt require rad cleaning?

[@EastCoastATV]

It's a crappy feeling losing a gas cap. Luckily we had enough plastic and zip ties to cover them. Some guys didn't wash their rads all week. Mine was good after the first time I sprayed it but I did every chance I got after that just to be on the safe side.

[@hvalour1]

i was just wondering if the honda had similar issues.@@EastCoastATV

[@EastCoastATV]

@@hvalour1 The Honda Talons didn't have any issues overheating.

[@ghyslev]

Why you are not using the liquid flat tire on your trip? It will help to colmat holes.... I love your trip..

[@EastCoastATV]

I do use it, I use TireJect. Thanks for watching.

[@ghyslev]

So it's only good for small holes...

[@EastCoastATV]

​@@ghyslev Pretty much, and any leaking around the bead.

[@nowmebys]

Excellent, as usual.

[@EastCoastATV]

Thank you!

[@201thenoob]

Where's the sand pit,in quebec?

[@EastCoastATV]

We didn't didn't find one.

[@davidbutt8599]

I think ive watched these videos a min of 5 times. Moving to New Glasgow next month! Cant wait to get a sxs

[@EastCoastATV]

I'm glad to know you liked them so much! Thanks for posting. Maybe I'll see you out on the trails when you get a SxS.

[@davidbutt8599]

For sure you will see me out there! @@EastCoastATV
