Great video Andy and Stacy looks like fun

[@OlympicOverland]

Good times 👍

[@Mikefestiva]

Nice video Andy 👍 Thanks for posting 😊

[@OlympicOverland]

Thanks man, that was a fun trip! I’m glad you got me motivated to get a shellfish license, those clams were delicious 👍

[@Swamp-Fox]

That is a strikingly beautiful part of the country you live in! Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure.

[@OlympicOverland]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate the comment! I have been exploring this area for over 30 years and am still finding new and interesting places on the coastline and mountains. 👍

[@jamesjohnson8661]

You beat me to it. I lived in Colorado but have never been to the northwest. Stunning. The scene on the beach with the misty islands looked like cgi!

[@OlympicOverland]

@@jamesjohnson8661 it’s a crazy place for sure! The mountains are so close to the coast here that we have a lot of variety and different ecosystems/climates. I’ve been exploring this area for a long time and we are still finding new spots!

[@tackssimizu4237]

Amazing camping....!!! I like it! Thank you for the beautiful video!

[@OlympicOverland]

Thanks for watching! I have a few more videos that I am editing so hopefully posting another one soon. 👍

[@allanperryman388]

The pups are adorable. Thanks for sharing your rad trip.

[@OlympicOverland]

Thanks Al! The Yorkies are definitely travel sized and never like to miss a trip 😁

[@allanperryman388]

@OlympicOverland We have rat terriers, and they also are travel size and love to go on adventures.

[@OlympicOverland]

@@allanperryman388 Rat Terrier’s are fine beasts!

[@MarkLedford]

Ha my danger box made the cut @4:50 thanks again for that troubleshoot! 🙌 great video and fun adventures as always 🤙

[@OlympicOverland]

Yeah Mark! Your blue Acty is the nicest one around. Let’s get some coffee soon and you need to go on the next trip with us 👍

[@MarkLedford]

@@OlympicOverland it’s no Attack, but it sure is pretty 😬 would love to, we’ll be in Georgia until after the 4th but let’s get together soon!

[@OlympicOverland]

@@MarkLedford sounds good!

[@harryfritter8266]

That was a cool layout for a video Andy. Hopefully soon I'll get to do some similar stuff, being I just sold my two kidneys and a liver. I'll have traveling money 😂😂

[@OlympicOverland]

Traveling is definitely getting expensive these days but cashing in those kidneys and liver not only brings in some extra gas money, it helps to lighten things up for better MPG’s on the highway ha ha! Cheers man! 😂

[@jonmarshall1502]

These videos are always so fun and lighthearted. Keep them coming.

[@OlympicOverland]

Thanks Jon! Lots of fun lately with the trucks 👍

[@wazanoshinise]

Thank you! I have another video that is almost finished so hopefully posting it soon. 👌

[@chillyspoon]

Cool video guys - gotta love those kei trucks

[@OlympicOverland]

We have definitely been getting a lot of use out of these little trucks. 👍

[@michaellynch31]

Great video guys looks like fun

Thanks Michael!

I’m a big fan of “Todd” the Yorkie.

[@OlympicOverland]

All Todd’s are good Todd’s! 👍😁

[@stacyhodgson1051]

Todd is def the alpha

rad as usual!

Thanks Danny! 👍

[@russellzauner]

Speaking of elk - at least Oregon is considering implementing population controls since the elk population has rebounded so strongly. It means some sort of additional tagging system likely with increased limits or reduced restrictions when season(s) open up - possibly expanded season(s) as well.

[@eggmcnog]

What are your favorite trails around the PNW for some 4x4 camping? I’m new to all this and I’m not sure where to start

[@OlympicOverland]

@@eggmcnog I would start off with a good atlas. Benchmark makes my favorite ones because the backroads are the most detailed and accurate. They have the best format that makes them more usable than other atlas’s that I’ve used. GPS is great but is difficult to see a bigger picture to help find and connect routes on a bigger scale, the atlas really makes a big difference, it’s hard to beat paper maps! Another great thing about exploring Washington is that logging is a big part of the economy here so the amount of dirt logging roads throughout the Cascades and Olympic area are pretty massive and mostly open to the public. Lots of DNR and Forest Service roads. Capital Forest near Olympia has some gnarlier trails if you are looking for more hardcore stuff but there are plenty of great routes to explore across the state like the WBDR. I hope the link to the atlas work but most decent bookstores carry this one as well. Washington Road & Recreation Atlas - 10th Edition, 2022 (Benchmark)

[@eggmcnog]

@ ​​⁠dude! Thank you so much for taking the time to drop some info on me! Do you attend any meetups around here? (Seattle region) I’d love to pick your brain! Seriously thanks tho. I’ll grab an atlas. I’ve been looking at onx but lots of the trails have no reports. I’m in a Delica so it’s a bit hard to tell what’s roll over territory or not

[@OlympicOverland]

@@eggmcnog no problem! We make it to Seattle occasionally but I haven’t attended any import meetups. Onyx is good and Gaia is handy but that atlas will be the best for exploring new dirt road routes for sure. The Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR) has some cool sections so definitely check that out this spring but most of the high elevations will be snowed in for a bit and doesn’t melt off of the north facing slopes for awhile so definitely bring a shovel and chains for an early season trip. WABDR has their own paper maps (I think Butler made them?) and offers a free GPS track. There is a similar route for Oregon and Idaho as well.

[@donavan.anderson.7521]

Were u get those box that you put on the back/ live in

[@OlympicOverland]

Hi Donovan, we built them. They are light enough for 2 or 3 people to load and have worked great. This link shows a bit of the build. Honda Acty and Suzuki Carry Kei truck camper build kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGmnnePeNpjrcU

[@donavan.anderson.7521]

Thought they were made of metal and that. Probably could make it for a regular truck (since kei truck don't ship to were I live)

[@OlympicOverland]

@@donavan.anderson.7521 I used all metal and welded everything on the camper that I built for my full sized Dodge but wood was a great light alternative for the Kei truck and it has held up really well. The layout would be great on a bigger truck. 👍

[@donavan.anderson.7521]

@OlympicOverland appreciate the advice ty

Is it just me, or was that "Cresent Lake"?

Way too long since your last video.

[@OlympicOverland]

Hi Les, thanks for watching man! I’ve only been posting about once a month and would really like to post more but it’s always tuff juggling everything between kids, projects and a full time job. It’s definitely a labor of love ha ha! The goal is to post every 2 weeks eventually 👌

[@lesheath6216]

@@OlympicOverland I understand completely. I need to get off my but and start my own channel and stop living vicariously through yours and your brother's

@@lesheath6216 ha ha I will keep them coming, thanks for watching! If I can speed up the editing time that would be huge, taking trips is the easy part 😁
