DISCOVERING MT. RAINIER'S BREATHTAKING VIEWS IN MY BRONCO

For this trip, it was time to get back to the one-nighter, relatively close-to-home trips that I used to do all the time. I love that I have the chance to do longer trips now, but it is nice to get back to this on occasion. So I packed up the Bronco and headed to the hills to try and find the best view of Mt. Rainier that I possibly could. While the first night wasn't filling me with confidence, what I woke up to was nothing short of incredible.

[@WhereTheGaleGoes]

Beautiful! Just got my Bronco Everglades a month ago (same color), and these types of off roading adventures are exactly why I got it. Love your set up! Also appreciate the work you've put into these videos. Quality is *chefs kiss*!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much and congratulations on your new bronco! They are such a capable vehicle for this type of travel. I love it and I hope you’re enjoying yours as well!

[@MsChelle112010]

Your drone work is amazing

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you!

[@h0ot3r]

Glad i found this channel. Another one added to the bucket list.

[@themiddlepath8685]

Incredible views! You've got a new subscriber here all the way from the beautiful islands of the Philippines❤

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! I would LOVE to visit the Philippines some day!

[@susang994]

Very nice.

[@timvictor5988]

Well coordinated between video, music, and pace. Love it. Thanks for producing this vid!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much man! Glad you liked it

[@ChargeOverland]

Such a cool story about the fridge🙌🏻 Those sunset shots looked amazing! Great video man

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Right!? Love hearing that man. And thanks so much! We should get a trip in sometime

[@pala4833]

Fantastic shots, again and again. I really dig the levels you have the soundtrack at. It's a pleasant change to more in-your-face mixes. Cheers.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you I appreciate it! It’s a good balance to have both, but I do like the more chill edits

[@michaelrunyon8273]

Hey bud new subscriber here, I watched the Oregon episode my first one and subscribed right away. I believe your going to get huge fast. May you have safe travels and I'm going to watch you grow

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much Michael! The channel has seen tremendous growth this year. I started the year at 8k subs I think. It’s been awesome to see the growth! I appreciate you watching and I’m glad you enjoy my videos. The owyhees are simply incredible. I need to go back

[@shubhamjoshi7998]

❤❤❤

[@sonsoflibertyoverland]

Sometimes those short little trips end up being way more fun than you expect. Gotta disable that double-honk in Forscan haha.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Bro I know!! I haven’t messed with forscan at all and I really need to. I always forget. But yeah I love these quick trips!

[@sonsoflibertyoverland]

@@OFFTHEGRIND I disabled the double honk, and added sport mode. I have a spreadsheet of all the codes and info on how to do it if you want I can send it to you.

[@itsaboutfam]

Incredible views....love the video, thank you.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was a pretty amazing spot!

[@IsaacRodriguez89]

Very neat! Great shots of the mountain.

[@dalekarraker6851]

Another awesome video! I think it would be incredibly fulfilling to know that you played a role - even a small one - in helping someone to be able to explore thier horizons because of a refrigerator. The things some of us take for granted are another person's game-changer. Keep up the good work and I hope you realize your goal of 20,000!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

It’s was honestly super cool. I love that those people can now stay out longer and enjoy what we can without even thinking about it

[@WheretoNextOverland]

That story about someone reaching out and saying that a portable fridge enabled them to get out on a longer adventure was really cool. BY FAR, my favorite part about having a channel is hearing that I played some (tiny) part in someone getting inspired to get out or feeling confidence they didn't have before to explore. Cheers to you, sir!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I agree! It is an amazing feeling. I love getting comments or messages like that. It motivates me, as I'm sure it does you as well. Thanks man!

[@Arrowoverland]

[@johnnyutah386]

Awesome video, those shots at dusk were amazing.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! Flying the drone was sketchy though at that time lol

[@BuccaneerOverland]

Living here in Florida I sure do envy you for having such beautiful places to overland. Retiring next year and we are selling everything and hitting the road. Can’t wait to make it to the PNW. Really enjoy your videos. Safe travels.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Oh congrats on being so close to retirement! I hope you enjoy your life on the road! Sounds like the dream.

[@Oldschoolny62]

We spent a night at this spot, same cloudy rainy day, in the morning it cleared to a beautiful view of the Mt!! Did you see bunny, lol… he was hanging with us the whole time!! Beautiful shots man!!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Lol I did not see a bunny. I didn’t see anything actually haha. But it was an epic spot with crazy views! As you well know

[@TrailNewbie]

Man, last time I was at Mt. Rainier, I set out with the same goal to get the perfect vantage point. Then … I got spooked by a mountain lion. Some day, I need to get back there and conquer my fear of that place. It was such a close encounter, I still get chills thinking about it. 🦁😮

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Oh man really!? I haven’t ran in to one at all but honestly they freak me out way more than a bear. Those things are no joke. Maybe you and I can get a trip in the area one of these days

[@TrailNewbie]

@@OFFTHEGRIND ya man, I need a redemption run up there. 👊🏼

Great views as always great camera work

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks Jason!

[@stevej7139]

Looks like you're not far from Miners Ridge, I've only been near there a couple times but it looks good. Normally I am farther south somewhere between Elbe and Packwood but while I do have a fully equipped 4Runner I'm more into hiking than offroading, I ride with my dog(female Husky) so we need our leg time and that is my normal goal. There are some great views from the south side though, but as of now the cold weather is in town and not going to leave for several months, I still debate going out camping in the sub-freezing temperatures and I'm pretty well equipped to deal with it, it's just that I'm in my mid 60s and cold plus arthritis = pain and I'm not really into pain this week..

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I’d really like to explore that area more as well and else what kind of views I can find. But I get it with the cold weather. I’m 34 but have not been kind to my body so it definitely effects me at time.

[@Outdoor-Adventures]

Awesome video, you just got another new subscriber, PEACE….

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! So glad you liked it. Cheers!

[@jleginski1]

What exhaust system do you have again? It sounds so good. Wondering if I can find it for a Silverado.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I have a corsa sport. Im sure they make one for your rig. They make it for a ton of applications

[@thomassanio8745]

Nice video. Where did you get the side mirror Go Pro mount? Thanks.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks! I think it was an Amazon purchase but it was so long ago

[@kingbo0596]

what sort of apps do you use finding these trails and campsites?

[@sumitkulhari...3376]

You put so much efforts in creating these masterpiece videos, hats off man... really enjoyed this Why don't you make a collaboration video with "Living The Van Life" ( chad ). Because he is the man i started watching these kind of videos of because...

[@DB_Roams]

Awesome thumbnail image. Do you have a 100-400 lens or were you just that close?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks! I shot that at about 70mm zoom. So yeah I was just really close to the mountain!

[@DB_Roams]

@@OFFTHEGRIND 🔥👊🔥

[@kayleighdrouin6378]

What trail is this? Ive been binge watching your videos. I have a 97 4runner im waiting to do more exploring in. We use a pop up tent because we have 2 dogs. Its hard to sleep in the runner with the pup. I dont trust her 100% out of a kennel

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I get that for sure. I don’t take my pups too often, but it’s a little stressful when we do for the same reasons. But I don’t like to share locations publicly. I’m sure you will respect the area and take care of it, but that doesn’t mean someone else won’t find a comment that I share the location and end up trashing it. I hope you understand… I will say this is north of mt. Rainier within 30* either side of true north

[@Outcast_overlanding]

Very curious as to which drone you use for your aerial and trail following shots. Im currently in the process of starting my build for overloading and hope to be on the trails exploring by winter 2024

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I use the DJI mini 3 pro. But hey, don’t wait til it’s built to get out!! You can get out in almost anything and just start exploring

[@Outcast_overlanding]

@@OFFTHEGRIND OH I already do!! I have a 2016 Renegade Trailhawk that has been all over the US. Going up to Alaska again this summer and it’s an amazing drive. But never really thought about documenting or sharing my experiences until recently

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

@@Outcast_overlanding oh okay good! That’s awesome! We’ll I’m sure you know exactly what you need out of an overland build then! Alaska is really high on my list. Can’t wait to explore it myself

[@rdalrymple31]

Hello, love your video! I have a Badlands with a BadAssTents Rack. I hate it and was wondering what rack system you have? The rack I have with the Moly side extensions rattle so bad that they become disconnected and damaged my paint. I want something that doesn't squeak and rattle horrible going down the trail. Any recommendations? Thanks again!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Hey thank you!! I use a TrailRax TRMR rack. Hands down the best rack on the market for a bronco. There’s a link in my description for it, but it has the highest weight capacity of anyone on the market because of their patented two pax which helps distribute the weight. I absolutely LOVE this rack

[@rdalrymple31]

Kinda a matter of personal preference

[@dylandeeds8491]

We spent the day at this spot and crossed paths with you on our way back down! Great to see what the potential is when it’s all clear. We barely had any view of the mountain.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Dude we’re you in the 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton? Hunting in the area? That’s so cool! It’s an awesome spot though! If you’re there when the weather is conducive it doesn’t get much better!

[@dylandeeds8491]

I’m in the black JK wrangler with a 4Runner in follow! We already planned to go back again

[@edgaraszivatkauskas]

very nice images 😉

[@christianrandum2452]

Really wanna do something for like 3-5 days but idek where to start with planning. Any pointers? Like how do you find trails and how long they'll take you and how many to connect and where they lead and what views you'll find?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

This is not an answer you are going to like I don’t think. But I just drive down roads that look interesting to me. There are certainly resources you have for trip planning. OnX off road for example. They have all sorts of trails listed and how long they are. But I would learn how to read a topo map cause that is going to be a huge help. OTG20 for 20% off an onx elite membership if you want. Also, there’s a website called overland trail guides that has a ton of overland routes that are typically around a week long. Some shorter some longer. That’s a good place to start too

Good morning David the second camping spot that you went to. I think I know what the places but I’m not going to announce it also looks like I’ve been at that river spot to thank you for sharing pictures of MT Rainier a lot of people that live in the area have never been up to the mountain surprisingly I do like the fact that lesson 5 miles from my house I can get a good view of the MTRainer 😊
