SOLO OVERLANDING SOUTHERN IDAHO IN MY BRONCO BADLANDS

[@4x4adventure_pl]

This video is a visual feast for anyone who craves the serenity of overlanding and the thrill of offroading.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Incredible compliment, thank you!

[@TheCountyNomad]

I’m late to the party, but I admire your ability to get off road alone and disconnect from everyday life. Truly, videos like this give me the courage to start traveling more even if it’s just me and setting up camp.

[@dalekarraker6851]

I respect and admire your comments and stance about protecting the environment that we so cherish. Keep on Gate-keepin'! Keep up the great vids.

[@AndreiDante]

This video shows exactly why we need to disconnect from the concrete jungle. It is beautiful to know that you're so far away from everything with this outstanding view.. You're truly living some of us's dreams

[@Nimitz0609]

❤ very nice trip ❤

[@helenlss9395]

Sitting by the riverside, what a delightful experience! The beauty of nature is so soothing to behold; I hope nothing disrupts it. Preserving the environment is everyone's responsibility.💪💪💪💪💪

[@juliangreen1392]

Hi from England, sorry I'm late to your channel. Making up for lost time, watch ing and catching up. Just beautiful country, wildlife. Keep exploring for us, on the other side of the world.

[@mikemcmahon67]

Thank you for the inspiration to take the family out for an adventure in the wilds of southern Idaho!

[@Demothean]

Idaho is such an underrated state, the mountains are breathtaking

[@ljswenson5774]

Born & raised Idahoan native here. If you think that route was stunning I could tell you about one through Adams County that would have your jaw dropped open the whole time. I feel so blessed to live here. We have yet to run out of roads to explore. Well done on the journey you’ve shared with us!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Wow thank you so much! Always good to hear from a native of the area. I definitely want to go back to Idaho. I can totally see never running out of roads there. Seems endless

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

Council is nice town. Been driving through for 50 years. Won't go through there now. The sheriff department has become a discouraging problem. But it is beautiful. Been all over both sides of the valley sledding and ATV.

[@ljswenson5774]

@@user-bd5md5cm2jI’ve lived here 10 years, never had a problem with them. If you’re not doing anything wrong, shouldn’t have anything to worry about. All I usually ever see them do is pull people over for speeding. It’s a real problem, people are flying through here and always in such a big hurry to get where they’re going so I’m glad they work to keep that in check.

[@ljswenson5774]

@@user-bd5md5cm2jI’m curious, how has that affected you?

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

I really enjoyed this one. I share your passion for remote, sparsely populated areas. Keep em coming....

[@IsaacRodriguez89]

Watched this one on the big screen! Didn’t disappoint, great video my brother!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Awesome man! So glad you liked

[@wolfh5252]

Amazing! What an experience for you and for us at home. Thanks for taking us along.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much! It was pretty incredible!

[@jordanherr6165]

The time put into these videos is much appreciated. Well done!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks Jordan! I love doing this!

[@PaulSchweitzer]

Great video and welcome to Idaho! Stunning camp spots.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Love it! Need to make a return trip

[@Beardinc]

Beautiful filmography. The audio is crisp and clean with the soundtrack really complimenting the drone shots. Really enjoyed watching on my new HUGE tv.

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

I have been in the owhee mtns my entire life. The Air Force base is about 40 miles from you. F-15 , f35 ,f -16, A10s. The feds are working on locking that whole mtn range down. Owyhee sheriff department are very good guys. They aren't there to create problems, there to help. Great video. First time watching your channel. Great music, drone footage and monologue.

[@Bisonmaczr2]

As a Canadian who adventures all around Idaho, and after one short excursion and some hiking Summer 2022, I absolutely must return to this area. WoW. Thanks for this.

[@stevemarkperry]

Loved this mate. Those peaceful moments really put you there and some epic shots with the drone. Inspiring.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks man, I’m so glad you enjoyed this video!

[@BASSANGLER7MH]

First I just found your channel!!! Love you take your pups out man. I have a Boston and never seen him watch tv until I played your channel! Hope all is well for your pup. Now the reason I found you is I’m getting into overlanding/ glamping 😅. I have a Tundra with an Icon lift and rims and was eyeballing Mammoth. Well times are rough and may have to settle for a truck bed set up and this fridge would be perfect! Perfect size and efficiency bud🤙 I would love to try it out but budget is keeping me settling with conventional coolers. It’s a long shot but I would be blessed to obtain one. Keep the vids coming. Can’t wait to see more adventures you will share….bring your pups!🤙

[@explore_off_road]

Ha ha! You said 'good morning' to the cow ... I do that all the time! Hee hee ... And "Gate Keep", we all do it for the exact reason you speak of

[@alextshibandaboulanger6527]

[@Crumb_Trails]

Yup! Another epic adventure and video. You never disappoint. At this time, I think you are the only content creator that I will click on a video over about 15 or 20 minutes. I just get lost in your cinematography and narrating. And as much as I love your Bronco, it's not about the Bronco. It's about your adventure

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I really appreciate that Man! I work hard on each video and am always trying to get better. So hopefully I’ll just keep making better and better stuff for you all!

[@SuperiorGeminis]

Great video, Idaho looks amazing I definitely need to check it out someday. Thanks for sharing your adventures 🤙🏼🏕️

[@Anthonyking166]

Lived in idaho my whole like camped all over the area where you're at, props to not letting out too much info about where you are at

[@barbarafuhrman7395]

❤❤❤ the ride..getting my OllllllO ( aka jeep ) repaired for a great Idaho run next year. I feel your story great video.

[@brianuncharted]

I feel blessed having been raised in southeastern Idaho. I think Idaho has some of the best scenery in the country. Living in PA now I try to get back to Idaho as much as I can to visit family and just explore all over again. Thanks for the vid. It definitely brings back memories. If you want more epic views and exploration, head up into the Sawtooth mountains. You won't regret it.

[@pala4833]

Every video, you just kill it. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like my stuff!

[@nomadic_hurd]

Great video man! Epic drone shots as usual. Idaho is definitely at the top of my list of places to explore

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! I I’m glad I have been able to experience it finally, but man I want to go back so bad!

[@discopatrol.]

I worked on the 15 for 20 yrs....I can never unhear its engine roar lol... Great memories

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Wasn’t too far from there actually!

[@xxMonsterGuitarxx]

Excellent idea of putting the proceeds towards the forest service, well done.

[@taylorasbell7074]

I was especially looking forward to this video. Great job! Its so amazing how much land is available to explore. When im in the mountains im reminded how small i am, when i watch your videos i get a hint of that same feeling. Awesome video

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I’m so glad you liked it and that I didn’t disappoint. I get the same feeling and that’s something I try to convey through the video. That is so awesome to hear that feedback! Thanks so much for sharing

I know I said this recently, but your cinematography gets better each vid. Well done. Great film of some solid exploration.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! It was an awesome trip with scenery that made my job easy!

[@AdamHillikerLikesRobots]

Love this!! Stunning views and I appreciate the educational, constructive commentary. 2 pieces of feedback if you're interested. I find the more upbeat energetic music to be at odds with the vibe and beauty of the footage. I prefer your more mellow relaxing musical choices for what that's worth. Additionally, there are a couple shots where you're speaking to the camera discussing things in the background of the footage. Your lenses are excellent and fast with a narrow depth of field so when you are in focus the viewer cannot really discern any details of what's behind you. If you could try to remember to make a conscious refocus to the background so we can appreciate the view as well, and understand some of what you're describing that would be awesome. Thank you for bringing us along on these journeys.

[@timvictor5988]

Yup, That's epic alright. You do a great job blending the music into the video. Take care.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much! I think I’ve said this before but the music is the hardest part for me

[@Aduhwan]

Is there a playlist for the music in this video? The soundtrack for “ the playground”, the fording of the streams, abandoned cabin on the road side and the approach to the shelf road was quite nice. TIA.

[@alambatrodolfoiii]

Thanks again for showing us this wonderful place. Great video as always. 🙌🏽

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!

👍 for preserving camping spots from people that trash our reputation as outdoors people. My pet peev is pay for location data but I now understand why (by donating to the firefighters) . Really impressed with your thoughtfulness mate 🇦🇺

I will be traveling from Georgia to Washington state. Found some spots to die for but will be sharing without cost. I'm sick of people trying to control what is not theirs to do so. I also have come across trash sites but I pick up and move on I am the difference and that's what matters

[@bertvanderzon1048]

Superb video! Thanks!

[@SoloHiker1]

You are in a MOA, a Military Operation Area. These areas can be anywhere, usually around large tracks of state or federal preserve. You have Hill Air Force base and Mountain Home Air Force base nearby. These m o a's are actually sometimes over cities. The operating altitude is just much higher, many times you cannot notice them. In another life, I would control CAS in areas such as this. Great video, Mahalo for sharing.

Don’t forget the amount of condensation that propane gives when you try winter camping in that annex. It’s terrible for winter camping, gnna get everything wet essential. . Diesel heater is the way to go .

Just my 2 cents but I wouldn't sell or give away your trip location information. Let other find it themselves. Even a group of well intended overlander's would spoil the experience for someone else in the same area. I find it a great adventure if I don't see anyone else. I applaud you for traveling alone. Great video by the way.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Hey Denise! Lucky you to live in such a gorgeous part of the country! The reason I didn’t share my exact location is because I am trying to make sure it stays beautiful and pristine. I don’t want to be the cause of someone or a group coming in and destroying the area

[@denisehale301]

@@OFFTHEGRIND yea, that’s probably a good thing because I’m one of those who gets annoyed with how many people are flooding into this area and how we can’t go anywhere around here anymore without running into so many people!

[@davidacton7937]

Thanks for taking us along on such a great trip. Loved the scenery, loved the vehicle, - but hated most of the background music/noise... With so much good music available, it never ceases to amaze me why people making videos choose such dreadful background noise, masquerading as music. Don't take these comments personally, the same issue is prevalent in KZbin videos

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

The thing about music and musical taste is it’s highly subjective. Sorry you don’t like it but you’re literally the only person in all my years doing this that has had enough of an issue with it to comment. I also don’t choose music based on personal music preference. I choose music that I feel best fits the feel of that portion of footage it goes over. But I’m glad you liked the rest of the video! Hopefully you were able to stick through the music

[@davidacton7937]

I just wrote a long reply to you but managed to delete it just as I was finishing up! Basically I was saying that compared to many others videos or documentaries, your is one of the better ones. I just have a 'thing' about background music either being inappropriate or so loud you can't hear what the presenter is saying. It's just me, don't take it personally in any way! It is still good to see your country, even if it is through someone else's eyes.
