[@EFRT]

Oops, I lost track of the days and thought it was Sunday morning. Hope you don’t mind this weeks video being posted a day early. 😂

[@terribolding8162]

Never!

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

Love any time!❤️

[@brianfisher3991]

Why would you ever have going up that road when rain was forecast ? Very poor planning .

[@peppernc429]

I thought I was losing it there for a moment!

[@mikemecklenborg5412]

Yeah this caught me off guard but all is good.😊

[@Piperdreams]

Holy crap guys that was hair raising - whoa that was excellent driving !!! Just watching the trailer and the Jeep slipping around and trying to manoeuvre over that slick mud! That was mad !! This is where your experience and skills come in to play!

[@wendyward6032]

I pray lots on GOOD days, but certainly would have been praying loads more once you got off the road. Crazy to watch this video and when you got out, I shouted 'Thank You Lord!'

[@kevinwiley9696]

WOW!!! Nice Driving Pete!!

[@kimprocarione5473]

Wow!!!! Great job on that slick mountain road!!! 😮

[@jamesshih6455]

❤❤ Pete has skillzzz! 🔥🔥🔥

[@gmac9956]

Yikes. That's some slick driving on some slick roads. Glad it went ok

[@fireflyrocks1]

Watching this and holding my breath. Ice couln't be any worse. Good job.

[@CampingRuss]

Couldn’t sleep so I decided to wake up early and catch up on your videos. Kids played in the mud. 😂😂😂😂😂 yeah, Salt Lake City get some major winds in that area. I was getting blown away last time I went through there about four years ago. Ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

[@AngieWarren-i8y]

That mud was like axle grease!!. I love your amazing ventures!.

[@EFRT]

It was a lot of fun.

[@dalekarraker6851]

Great vid as usual, and great poise in handling that goo. That mountain mud is deceptive and you just have to respect it and not push yourself or your rig. Several years ago I got sideways in a ditch like that in Southern Colorado and my rig ended up going all the way over on it's side. Stupid me I wasn't belted and separated my shoulder falling over to the passenger side. Had to climb out the driver's door and walked about 2 miles to a hunter's cabin further down. Thank Heaven there was someone there - he was able to snacth my pickup back on to the road and even drove me to Pueblo to get my shoulder taken care of. Lesson learned about respecting that mud and endless thanks to the hunters that helped me.

[@erichughes9098]

Thank you for your wonderful and hair raising video. Keep up the great work. 😎👍

[@kristenleblond5047]

Slicker then snot. That must mean that it's pretty slippery!!! LOL Okay, that was nerve-wracking for me!!!!! Nice job, Pete!!!

[@nicosiafabio1969]

hello, are you never afraid? you are always calm. Anyway, well done and thanks for making me dream

[@charlesfaulkingham5599]

Wow ! Now that must have been scary. Glad you safe!😊

[@tree4408]

Spectacular drone shots! Scat, the mountain term for poop😊 In mud, always drive and walk in the tracks left before you. Glad you are safe.

[@kearnsey64]

That mud was like axle grease!!😮😮

[@TLOverlander]

You had MY butt puckering on this episode! Glad you made it down... The Lonely Overlander

[@EFRT]

Yeah, that was definitely a white knuckle drive.

[@dedwin8930]

That was a fun one !! Thanks!!

[@Julie-g3u]

WELL ONCE AGAIN YOU GOT OUT THATS COOL. N.Z.

[@Julie-g3u]

That shot when you coming down the trail a bit of sun coming wow & when you going around the corner could hardly see you just trees wow is that clouds,mist or wildfire up in sky??? The look was dark & moody just the thing. Thanks for showing that. N.Z HAVE A GOOD ONE CHEERS

[@cheryldowner4834]

Wow!! Doesn't that make your anxiety run wild? It would mine😢😊

[@cwegescheide1]

That mud was something else. Definately some white knuckles :) Glad to see ya made it. Have fun, you two! Safe travels

[@franknovak4817]

Good times for sure! 😊

[@craigkosters716]

So cool, Spectacular area's, like always we love the content.

[@rhondadean5455]

This made me too nervous. Scary. Thought it would flip.

[@hadarfineart]

Intense!

[@Perry3377]

It's Very Messy.... But some times you have to chain up for mountain silt that turns into mud.. Safe travels Perry

[@kerkleblanc7690]

What a women going through that mud , outstanding video thanks

[@judyschmidt4547]

I am absolutely enjoying your family trips. Happy to have found you.

[@theadventuresofsaltyjrover]

Jeep should sponsor you as you show the capability of the product

[@verdexj160]

You must have a magic camera. You can make the drive from grantsville thru the salt flats look good. When I pass through it all I see is waste land.

[@ViajandoaloLatino]

Nice .... i like this trailer 👍

[@lindakoon8694]

I'm leaning to the left to help you stay on the road.....

[@ScubaNut22]

Hey EFRT, you guys are amazing. Your enthusiasm doesn't seem to be the same without the kids but I can relate. I like it when you bring us up to speed on the plan for the week, the destination, the significant gear used, gear reviews, obstacles, when you teach us about overlanding, get us excited about the upcoming plans with more details about what you're thinking, etc. You are amazing but I feel like you're just going through the motions at the moment.

[@brooklynhomesteader3721]

😬😬😬 glad u made it out!

[@judyrice3883]

Awesome post. Loved it. Best one in awhile. Love the scenery again

[@RedPillJonny]

Nice trip. That mud reminds me of working in parts of Alberta in the 80's. Some slick.

[@RogueElement]

Airing way down would have helped a lot during this. Gotta love those sketchy mountain moments to get the blood pumping! Haha. Was great meeting you at Mountain West. Safe travels

[@SL-ye4ur]

Amazing Drone footage at the beginning and heck of a ride down!

[@izzybooth-nuku7137]

Good afternoon my friend❤❤I thought it was Monday here for us when I saw you had a video😂😂always a pleasure to see the empty nesters enjoying yourselves. Take care and stay safe, big loves❤❤#kiwiNZfamz🇳🇿😁

[@kpinkkpink]

I was so relax enjoying the breathtaking view and then bam💥 the dirt road was like a smack in the head 😅Great job guys🙌🏻👏🏻

[@cynthiavicario2894]

I’ve missed a couple of videos . Your adventures are so beautiful . Watching your epic images reminds me it is beyond our understanding this earth that God created. 🙏

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

That drone shot at 5:15 ! Come on! Amazing. If you end up in a ditch like that again, just ride the ditch as far as you can and if you need to get out, run up the far side of the ditch and cut back toward the trail. In muck like that, wheel speed is really important to clear the lugs on your tires. Just my experience. You did really well just sliding along, under control. The trailer doesn't care where it's going at that speed. LOL You guys have the best adventures! Also, trailers are the devil!

[@jeanaaimar9133]

It’s amazing. Thank you for share you’re experience!! Come in France, you’re welcome! Merci beaucoup from France 🇫🇷

[@donnaclark8478]

Was So Happy to see you finally get back to the pavement 💛

[@janewells7561]

I wa watching this and literally held my breath ! Well done

[@helenemulvihill2997]

Pete and Carol it was a nice treat to enjoy your weekly video a day early. We were on the edge of our seats watching you crawl down that muddy hill! In Texas we go to a place called creekside for the sole intention of getting that muddy!!! But when we do it we do it with friends to pull us out and a wash station on the way out of the park! LOL Good job getting down that hill! Very impressive to see you take it on with such patience and smart to get out when you had a chance. Safe Travels!! xo

[@bonita3710]

What area of Texas is creekside located in? We're up by DFW, but would love to get the Jeep a little dirty 🙂

[@trishhobbs2677]

Great photography Carol. Sorry about the shoes!!!

[@EFRT]

I knew I should have brought old boots just in case 😅

[@conniebartholomew2716]

This was a nail biter to watch! Beautiful area in backcountry of Wasatch Mts. My son lives in Utah and loves the outdoors there. I will be moving to Utah next year from Colorado! Thank you for another great video. Look forward to my coffee on Sunday mornings watching your video and Dan's!🌻🌻🌻

[@fluffer4049]

Awesome and memorable adventure.

[@lislebrown6391]

Tire chains , I carry 2 pair of high quality chains 12 months of the year, relatively inexpensive and light insurance.

[@kathyhensarling2537]

Hey Pete, free car wash, the Jeep needed it after the mud pit.

[@rdump]

I've had some slick times camping at Mudd Creek just W of Strawberry Res. Glad you slid out safely!

[@jennifermagee9131]

Where was this? Beautiful! Glad you got out safe!

[@rickloomis9470]

You should make time and run the Pony Express Trail. From Salt Lake City to Wendover. You might see wild horses. Lots of historical stops along the way.

[@monicaroby8699]

Gosh! So glad you guys are okay.

[@QuietCottage]

This one scared me. This takes experience to handle.

[@Escape.Idiocracy]

What weather app are you using? Goals- you and your wife are living the dream, we still have quite a ways before we can afford to cut loose and hit the road, but you and your family have truly set the standard. :) good on you!

[@EFRT]

We use AccuWeather when we have cellular or Wi-Fi and when we are we are in high elevations or in remote areas we use our satellite based weather app on the Zoleo and/or the Garmin Inreach. Hope that helps.

[@Escape.Idiocracy]

@@EFRT thank you!

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Epic Family Road Trip. That was a sketchy road but y'all handled it like a champ.

[@subdivooverland]

Yikes! I've been in that kind of mud and it's definitely no fun 😬 Slow and steady as she goes.

[@dhansonranch]

Driven those snotty roads before myself. Had white knuckles watching you traverse out of mountains. Definitely a weather kind of trip for ya! Gorgeous scenery though! Some good driving there Sir!

[@erikcele1604]

Very well driven there! Nice and safe all the way down! Looking forward to the next episode. Kind regards Erik

[@Lindsy041]

Enjoyed your trip sorry you had to go through all that you guys really work well together on all the adventures you've been through. I know your wife gathers the antlers. If you go look at it video of through the lens I think your wife will enjoy what they did with their antlers most intriguing in his latest Adventure in Wyoming.

[@EFRT]

Definitely will check it out. Thanks.

[@bobklittich5710]

Those tires look pretty hard. In mud I lower my tire pressure to 16, and in really slick stuff ( like you had) down to 12. It gives you almost double the tire patch!!

[@EFRT]

Thanks for the tip. Yes, we were at 18psi but should have been lower 👍🏻

[@budiharyono5179]

sungguh perjalanan yang luar biasa, semoga keluarga EPIC selalu diberikan kesehatan dan keberuntungan

[@j.curiouscompany4969]

Beautiful ethereal views and mountain panorama. Lovely to be along for the ride. Well…. The greasy mountain road had me a bit on edge, but your calm heads prevailed. “Listen to the locals.” So enjoy your channel. I did a 9000 mile National, state park and blm loop around America in 2021 (in my Venza all-wheel), an amazing experience. I will definitely do another trek soon.

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

Wow, that was crazy sliding down the muddy road. I did that once in UT. The trick to the mud is to air down to 10 lbs, put both front and rear lockers on then drive slow. You need all the traction you can get. Also drive in wheel low.

[@hugeblue]

Great Video ! Nice job of driving ! Be safe! Chas.,SC

[@TimmyCramer]

This happened to me going to fossil creek after a rainstorm earlier this year. I waited the afternoon to come home....felt lucky I didn't slide off the canyon! San Diego tomorrow!! Timmy C Arizona

[@darrellgunn2610]

Great job of driving!!!

[@timothyhansen7905]

I live in Utah, Brigham City, Northern Utah and we love it, so much variety.

[@nativetexson]

I think I had white knuckles with you on that stretch of road. Nice surprise to see your video a day early. Cheers-

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Whew! What a nail biter! Great episode!

[@pnwusa]

that was great driving pete. and that was some great walking carol. whoah!!!! that was a huge, gnarly, impressive looking spider. continued travel mercies and blessings. 🕊

[@supremlyfoxylass]

Your idea of awesome and mine are very different. Nothing about that trip was worth risking your safety. I live in Vermont and look outside my window and see mountains and unbelievable beauty. I’m still shocked your trailer didn’t flip and will be surprised if you didn’t do any damage to it besides the scraping of paint from all the brush that raked against you.

[@NorthernRetreat]

Some beautiful country, minus the mud of course. 👍

[@ratnadipmajumdar8179]

Very risky trail but experience handling. Superb control. Mam you did a wonderful 👍 photography took lot of trouble to show us the best places on the trail have a wonderful 👍 time and have a great journey ❤😊.

[@martynevans3315]

Wow... Thank you for sharing and showing that patience is an offroad skill as well!

[@ilovedrpepper1195]

always such great videos and inspiration. THANK YOU!

[@howardherndon252]

Great adventure! As always

[@MrWinger1951]

Another perfect example for why, as a solo overlander, that I have no desire to pull a trailer. I have fine tuned my truck system to carry everything I need and be very comfortable doing so.

[@nareshbalgobin8101]

That guys voice sounds very formula

[@raquelhernandez1733]

Oh my goodness, kids. You had this old lady sweating bullets when you were driving down that muddy road! I was praying, crying and biting my nails, yes, all at the same time! 😊 I know you both were worried about the condition of the road. Dear hearts, you kept your cool, stayed calm and conquered!!!! I didn't like that flat space were you camped with that storm coming, but you knew that it was okay to hunker down on that spot. I have to say, before the muddy experience, the views of the mountains were beautiful. So, my sweets, may God continue on keeping you safe and I'll be waiting for the next video. Let's stay away from muddy roads up in the mountains, please.....just kidding, I'll go with you guys anywhere. Hugs and blessings!!!

[@daywalker8326]

Pete doing some serious wheeling showing everyone how it’s done! Glad it turned out ok for you both!

[@EFRT]

Thanks!

[@peterrichardson4192]

i nearly fell asleep. This video is like a dream . I am floating up in the clouds. i would through some rocks in the ditch to get out.

[@krismiller5474]

I think we were in Utah at the same time, that weather was rough for us RTT’s!

[@bettymagana4166]

G’Morning to see both it’s 5:22 am and watching u guys great morning to start my day! Be safe and have a wonderful time 💕☺️☕️👍🏼

[@scotthemmen8717]

Wow, great episode. Huge pucker factor on what will hopefully be remembered around the fire as some serious Class II fun.

[@nickbristol3457]

Wow guys, you did an epic job on this video...and getting out of all that super slippery muddy trail. So glad you made it out ok.

[@EFRT]

Thank you

[@jf5336]

Wow, this one was packed with adventure and suspense. So glad you made it to the Flats. Take care and thanks for this video.

[@jim20101]

Another Epic adventure didn’t know you and Carol were planning a video on mud bogging it was awesome

[@PRBOUNDLESS]

Hi! New sub here loved the video :) Camping in such beautiful nature seems amazing, we definitely need to try it one day!

[@EFRT]

Yes. It was a great experience. Thanks for subbing!

[@ChrisShaferKTM]

Have to get some wheel spin to keep the tires cleaned out

[@pty1pty2]

We miss Lando guiding your car!!❤❤

[@fredroybal4477]

Good afternoon Peter and Carol. I’m in Bozeman visiting my son and who do I see in the parking lot…Worsley! I was hoping to see you guys but didn’t want to disturb you. I really appreciate your channel and the inspiration you and your family are! Blessings to you guys and keep the faith! By the way, I’m from Albuquerque NM . I have watched just about every episode from New Zealand forward. I watched Dans channel where he went into detail about your beginnings…wow! Very cool!!!

[@EFRT]

That’s awesome. Thanks for being a part of our channel. If you see us again, we’d be happy to say hi. Have a wonderful day.

[@laurawallace4661]

Whoa! My stomach was on edge that whole ride! I knew you had it though. I'm less tense and more relaxed now.

[@jkandkiminthecamper]

Wow you guys. Had us on the edge of our seats. 😬 You always find a way to conquer and then rains 🌧️ to wash your rig off. Another amazing episode. 🥰

[@francessteltzner8268]

Amazing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@brianwadsworth5752]

You story telling through film has always been great, but something about this one is extra special. I think it’s that way it was edited and the choice of back ground music. Well done! Love from Utah!
