Idaho’s Pioneer Mountains

[@Venture2Roam]

Those views were BANANAS! Copper Basin is an A+ place to visit...this video really doesn't do it justice. We had so much fun making this for you. LIKE and COMMENT to help our videos reach more folks like you!!!! For more V2R Trip Videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLv4WOiu-rUDAGLr0qDKP-SFToKXBrSCMK

From Boise here fairly new resident. You’ve inspired me to work towards getting something I can take off road and do adventures like this. To see the real Idaho. Thanks for your videos. Now my favorite on KZbin.

[@Venture2Roam]

This is so great to hear. Cheers to your next adventure in Idaho!!!

Not only wonderful videographers but amazing storytellers that include me in every detailed moment. One of my favorite inspirational content creators on KZbin and I’m proud to call Will and Kate friends.

[@Venture2Roam]

🤜🏻💥🤛🏻 Thank you sir!!! It’s so fun to be connected to other great creators like yourself. We really appreciate your friendship and support!!!

[@ChambersFamilyOverland]

This is my favorite video so far. Intro was perfect I was amped up to see what was coming up next! Love it -Marshall

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so so much!!!

[@eastidahocarpenter]

I was just there a couple weeks ago on an archery elk hunt. Thank you for being respectful to the area. It’s one that is very close to my heart. I’ve been there with my granddad multiple times. While we were there we filled up two trash bags full of beer cans/bottles, cigarette butts, soup cans, all sorts of stuff from the different campsites we were at. Safe travels! Maybe we’ll see each other in central idaho sometime 👊🏼

[@Venture2Roam]

An Elk Bow hunt is the ultimate hunting style if you ask me, and if done respectfully, and with the right intentions, is probably the most earth friendly way to get your food. Thank you so much for watching! We always do our best to leave the places we go better than we found them, and will keep promoting this as the best way to enjoy our public lands. Copper Basin is a special place, we’ll definitely be back (video or no). Thanks for taking care of it!!!!

[@IdExplorMor]

Well said, you didn't have to answer the call... you GET to. I love this state!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you . We are blessed to live in a place with so much public land!!

[@danhiggins8733]

Having just discovered you guys I am going back to catch up on earlier vids. So nice. Well done. But maybe it is also a bit of a kindred spirit. After decades of pushing hard, living in big cities, flying all over the world (for work) and so on we treasure the way overlanding encourages, if not forces, us to just slow down. I told my wife that after nearly 2 million miles of flying quickly over everything at 35,000' I just wanted to explore what is "down there". Ground level. Not in a hurry. Having time to appreciate everything. To take it in. Soak it in. And after seeing this Copper Basin area it has me interested in getting out that way from where we live in Central Oregon. (But first I'll check out some more of your Idaho vids!)

[@Venture2Roam]

What you are expressing here is spot on..very similar ethos for outdoor adventure that we have. It’s exactly what we haven’t yet got Starlink, or bring too much tech with us. Cheers to slowing it down!!

[@stevenpoppi]

I just rode all those roads on my gravel bike for Rebecca's Private Idaho 3-weeks ago! It is truly a gorgeous place and we loved our time in Ketchum!

[@Venture2Roam]

I can’t imagine riding it on a bike. Tip of the hat!!!

[@michaeleveleth7979]

Thanks for the vid. I have seen parts of that area when camping with a Singles group years ago. Was driving a Willy's 4 door wagon then. I also have made the trip across to Challis. I just love it out there, desert, mountains, country roads. God really knows how to create!

[@Venture2Roam]

I'm so envious of your Willy's Wagon!!! We'll be back there this year making another vid...I feel like we just scratched the surface..it's one of the most beautiful areas I've ever seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, it means a lot to our little channel!!

[@courtneychambers9214]

Love this you two! Marshall and I are the same when it comes to setting up camp. We each have our roles. Beautifully done! Steaks looks delish! Idaho is so gorgeous and we can’t wait to come check it out! -Chambers Family Overland

@@Venture2Roam you passed star hope canyon, and you were in muldoon, you showed the loading shute and at the end of that road is a ready cool cabin and a beautiful lake I've hunted elk for 40 plus years up there. So fun to see videos up there

[@Venture2Roam]

@@bobeldredge282 Ahhhhh. Got it. I probably should have looked at the map before replying lol. I'd love to see some Elk up there...it feels very wild since there's not too many large towns close by. We really can't wait to get back out there...and our friends can't wait to go with us. Glad we connected!

That intro was epic! That steak dinner was full 5 star and looked so delicious. Hope one day to be able to meet up somewhere with you guys and do some overlanding. Also best video I've watched so far and the outro message was spot on.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so much! We try to keep getting better with each vid. It helps that we have access to these incredible places. We’re hoping to get out and meet more folks next year!

[@GeefromBC]

I’d say your best video so far. Awesome work Will and Kate. And also, you’re not a drone owner unless you’ve almost lost or crashed your drone. 👍🏽

[@Venture2Roam]

Hahaha! Yes I remember watching you hunt for a drone in one (or two) of your vids!!! Thank you so much for the compliment Gee. That's super meaningful!

[@GeefromBC]

@@Venture2Roam Haha yeah maybe more than twice but you ain’t droning unless you crash it or lose it 😂 You’re welcome Will. Looking forward to more future videos 👍🏽

[@ChanceP]

Your videos are top notch! Keep it up 👍🏻

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so much. We’ll keep plugging away hoping more folks like you watch!!

[@CrazyEmptyNest]

Ha ha! Lost the drone, that happened to us in Sedona this past Spring. Some great footage and it looks like you guys had some great "mom and dad only" time. The hike and lake were definitely a great idea. We definitely want to get back to this area. Stay Crazy! - Lance and Jenny

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks you for watching! It was nice to connect as a couple. So cool that you were in Idaho…hope you come back soon!!!

[@OffroadTreks]

I can relate to loosing your drone. I had this happen to me in Moab. Super stressful. And it was literally my first week of ownership with the thing. Oh man. That was back in 2017, spent a half-hour hiking around trying to find it.

[@Venture2Roam]

We were all smiles for the camera, but not so much when we were treading through water and up hillsides looking for it. I can imagine a million places to lose a drone in Moab!!! Glad you found it!!!

[@DirtRoadJourney]

Great job on the video. Those dinners looked delicious. It looks like Kate is trying to give overland x Marco and run for his money.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you!! OvrlndX (Marco) is super inspiring for us. We’ve used his recipes on many trips.

[@davidleadford6511]

The trail creek road originally started as a wagon road, where teamsters with 10 or more mules per wagon would travel to and from the mines in the area. It was an art to be able to run a 10 or more mule or horse team. I hope you had a chance to drive into Wild horse Canyon. That is my favorite spot up there. A few hiking trails are available in case you want to make another trip.

[@Venture2Roam]

What a great comment. Thank you so much for the history, I had no idea. We haven't been back for a full trip yet - just one night on our way to Boulder Basin (vid coming soon). Now I'm gonna start researching the history of that area more...and will definitely be back. Thanks for taking the time to watch and share!

[@Venture2Roam]

So glad you liked it! I love the Copper Basin area. We were out there again this year and it's just amazing.

[@FreysOnTheSide]

Really well done. The narrating is a nice way to carry the viewers through the video. You definitely have great commentary with absence of romance for the outdoors. You’ll be big time before you know it.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Matt - we are still experimenting with each new vid, so the positive feedback really helps. We love watching your adventures on your channel as well!!! That Glacier video series rocks!

[@OffroadTreks]

The camping thing reminds me of Bear Valley. There are roads all over the area, but campsites are so far and few and a lot are sucky.

[@Venture2Roam]

It is kind of like bear Valley, but with higher peaks. Our first YT vid was on BV…and we wound up bugging out because we couldn’t find a campsite 😂😂😂

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

The mountains left me a voicemail inviting me to dinner, but I'm too far away, so I politely declined and asked them to call me again next time. :D

🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much!!

[@moejr14]

What gear ratio and tire size are you running?

[@Venture2Roam]

We run 35s on 18 inch wheels with 4.88 gears. Full walk around, where I go more in depth on the rig can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3yUe6N_ZpesitU

[@moejr14]

@@Venture2Roam Awesome. Would you say the 488 gears help with packing all that extra weight.

[@Venture2Roam]

@@moejr14 Absolutely. We run really heavy with an RTT, our gear, and two kids in the back. Our AEV Suspension is great, but drooped a bit, so we added airbags in the back to keep it level (install vid here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f32zfIpmpdF6erc). Our JK was running 3.21 gears with 33s on it. So when we went to 35s, we also put in the 4.88s along with air lockers in front and back. The 4.88 gearing has made a big difference in the Jeep's ability to drive easy in high altitudes, on steep grades, and at low speeds. It's not the best for going 75mph on the highway, but that's not what we use the Jeep for anyway. Hope this helps!!!

[@moejr14]

@@Venture2Roam Awesome that’s exactly what I wanted to know. I have a 23 zero RTT on my jeep With a Smitty built rear tire carrier, front winch bumper and all our gear. We are pretty heavy. I’m currently running 35s with 410 gears and it’s a slug all around so I was trying to decide whether I should go 456 or 488. But you just helped me make my decision thank you
