Hey PM me im a fellow overlander looking at starting a youtube and pateron I have some queations

[@alynnhiscox7303]

Just added myself to your Patreon crew. Thanks again for bringing us such great content. I really love the beauty and adventure, but the family aspect is what is most important to me. I have two grandsons, ages 3 and 1, and my wife and I are planning to take them along on some trips in the Sierras in the coming years. Merry Christmas guys!

[@stevefossum9065]

any update on the rv mess?

[@hokanumpa9356]

I never want this channel to end..... Such great content, music, scenery, and family. You all have grown so much sence your first episode. Maybe one day Caroline will be driving a 3rd vehicle. Keep up the wonderful content.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Can't wait until Caroline has her own rig!

[@washingtonbriggs4895]

You guys should invest in a Milwaukee electric chainsaw

[@LifestyleOverland]

Santa delivered a DeWalt 20V early ;) But to be fair, that saw isn't bad for $19

[@davec.3198]

Why electric? Isn't gas in much more abundance on the trail then 120V?

[@TheKPDX]

@@davec.3198 I think he means a 20V - this would likely make it match the batteries he uses in his impact driver

[@davidcooper3957]

I have the de Walt 60v it’s actually very good and can charge the batteries off solar or the engine when not in use

[@alabastardmasterson]

@@LifestyleOverland don't toss the bow saw. I've been a DeWalt man for almost 20yrs and the chainsaws are not good. AvE shows the plastic components on a breakdown. I've had the 20 and 40, they're not good products and pour bar oil out. Leak is not the word for it. Love DeWalt and understand how you get sucked into a brand bc of power supply compatibility, but keep the bow saw and grab a Condor machete...the flex volt sawzall with a pruning blade is bulletproof, but slower

[@derekfarnsworth7536]

Stoke level is 100% that you guys mapped out this route. Nearly all of it is right out of my backyard living in Western Colorado and sadly I’ve never done a lot of this. I agree that the Ouray/Silverton area is just too over crowded these days and finding hidden gems like this will keep us all exploring. Support the local communities as you roll through. Here in Paonia we’d love to see more of the community come by.

[@francisngo]

I guess if a tree in a forest falls, it DOES make a sound.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Apparently so!

[@DB1Journeys]

You stole my line....I almost had the same thing typed out and said, "you know what, I'd better scroll down in the comments and see if someone else said that!"

[@levasseurfr]

It only makes sound if there's ears to ear it

[@jad2484]

@@LifestyleOverland Kev....wheres that Sthil that I suggested you put a 28" bar on????? LOL!!!!! Bow saws are Awesome though!!!!! Keep up the good work.

[@eqcmdeg]

So why the Rush,Rush,Rush??? I was not clear on why y’all are in such a big hurry???. Obviously it’s not about to snow?? Great Videography!!!! Y’all do such an amazing job! Caroline is as beautiful as her Mom!!!

[@TheKPDX]

I have wondered this as well. Do you have an external deadline or is it the tyranny of the KZbin algorithm. I would think you have the luxury of just picking a nice spot and staying put for a day or two to rest up.

[@aksnowrida]

Milwaukee and Dewalt both have some great compact electric chainsaws... just sayin 😅

[@shadow.overland]

I was thinking that very same thing.... lol

[@tylerpuccio9883]

I really hope you saw my comment on the last video about possibly picking up a battery operated chainsaw like a Milwaukee. Or whatever battery platform you already have.

[@bobmakow55]

My thoughts exactly, though you are pretty good with that bow saw

[@cjbotkin1]

You guys do a great job with a bow saw. In northern MN we always carry a small chainsaw with us in the jeep/truck. Stihl 180 is a cheap small consumer model... but, a lifesaver.

[@bobmakow55]

Without going back and reading 63 comments, does your planning app allow you to comment such as "width restriction" to help others from taking in hope of going through

[@LifestyleOverland]

Yep it does but this was a recent change to the trail.

[@toyotas4ever]

Why is there a thumbs down?

[@Dennis-zr3fb]

Because you will always get some galah with out a life, who has to knock everything

[@terrorbulyfe]

That’s a bunch of trolls who want attention.

[@larsabirotica2788]

Making the road passable is a form of charity, may God have mercy on you

[@bubbatim2009]

Great jobs guys. Stay safe

[@davidcooper3957]

I know you like your bow saw, I use the silky 2000 big boy saw and the de Walt 60v 18” saw both work very very well. Especially when your already tired from a long day. Love the show have been watching for years now please keep up the adventure

[@billkipper3264]

You were right smack dab in the middle of my stomping grounds. As soon as I saw the FR 100 sign I knew right where you were going.

[@erich1880]

Sorry... But I just get a kick outta how you pronounce "vehicle"... "VE-HICK-LE". 😁 I dunno if thats just the American pronunciation, or a southern thing...?

[@trevoragranger]

Ha! Love the office reference. Cutting all those trees is a great way to stay fit out there. Thanks for the content and the inspiration!

[@DB1Journeys]

As always...appreciate these vids more than you know. While my body is currently in the 9-5 concrete jungle of daily work, my mind gets to travel with you guys. Just wish I could have had a bite of that waffle thing you were eating!

[@TheKPDX]

Curious if that width restriction had been noted by anybody on Gaia?

[@nerdgarage]

Im curious as to what is the reason for the width restriction.

[@ROUTES_SAUVAGES]

I did a part of the ERT last year, looking forward to maybe try the HCT some day!! Thanks guys! Happy Holidays to your beautiful family!

[@allenheaps2084]

Very nice following you along the High Country Overland Trail. Please plot something along Southern Utah especially focusing between Kanab Hw 89, Roughly following scenic byway 12 from Escalate to Bolder and Torrey into Capital Reef Nat'l park. You should be able to piece together some good off road overland routes in that area. I bet the Chain saw gets a front row seat on the next adventure.

[@wademay6807]

Silky Saws BIGBOY 2000 Folding Saw. Quicker than a chainsaw. Takes up less room than a bow saw. You can thank me later.

[@DawidNaudeIrishSettler]

Another masterpiece of filming and editing. I recently looked at a video from ya'll filmed in January and it's amazing how much Caroline have grown this year. Compliments to Mama Bear also on your driving skills, although most of the time you were the dedicated driver while Kev was navigating and filming... 🤠

[@TheKPDX]

Thanks for all your trail clearing work. I bet you're missing your chainsaw! Really like that HiVis winch line.

[@lcorr090k6]

Hi there. Love this channel. You three are amazing. I have a couple of silly questions if you don’t mind. Are you running 285’s in your 4runner? Out of those two trucks which truck do you like the most for overlanding use and why? Thank you.

[@elleemann]

Why overlanding isn't for me. I wouldn't be able to cut down and move trees. Guess I'll continue to live vicariously through you guys and go to campgrounds when I'm able. Love your channel. Never fails to entertain!!

[@xTinBenderX]

Just binge watched all the videos from the Camp Sliders vid to now. Love the direction the channel has taken! Hope you guys keep finding the good raspberries! ;-)

País : BRASIL 🇧🇷 Estado : Ceará Cidade : Fortaleza Aguardando! 😁😁😁

[@GerardoOntiveros10]

Had you considered/were you equipped for a snatch block winch pull on that first tree? Would it have been feasible? Great content, thinking about hitting portions of this trail this summer.

[@mickmay6569]

That tree was so soft like your american tracks..check out 4wd 24/7 and see how aussies do it..my drive way is rougher and thats not a joke..your doing dirt highways..then check out 4wd builds..built not brought is a good one...

[@thethirteenthscribe1794]

I am enjoying this season. I grew up in the White River National Forest area. Basalt is what I called home for the first 13 years of my life. Matter of fact, I was up in Basalt this past summer while you were filming this season.

[@jasonhayes4290]

Time to invest in a battery powered chainsaw. Lol

[@Dennis-zr3fb]

Haha I just said the same thing, they have got to much energy.

[@jamesolbrisch2582]

So.... let's talk about battery powered chainsaws...

[@nerdgarage]

I say chuck the bow saw and forget about a chain saw and just carry a generous coil of det cord. Less weight, less space, and much faster. =)

[@general_pinochet]

The title music gives instant peace for me... 🧡🧡🧡 Love you guys

[@mikepotter4109]

I guess I just have to wonder if there isn't somebody somewhere that says "nope, were not gonna let those civilians make a full blown vehicle trail through here."

[@marianfrances4959]

Great fun! You need a chain saw! 👍😉👍🇨🇦🌘🍭🎁🎄🎅

[@alberteller7286]

Y do you go so far and just run through it . When do you have a chance to stop and smell the roses. It seems like you’re in a hurry in in every serious . do you have a deadline? We travel like that when we were still working just wondering.

[@ftkinsella]

Now that was an interesting one. There were muscles built during this trip and first the tree cracking and then the bat. Wow so much on one video. Stay safe guys. Cheers!!!

[@peterfagan5911]

Hummmm....maybe time for a battery operated chainsaw....haha

[@dhmtnracer1]

Time for a battery powered chain saw. We keep one in our overlanding rig and use the factory inverter to recharge it. This way you have no had smell.

[@COGirl444]

Love Steamboat! Love the Iron Waffle. Spend a lot of time in the Routt NF

[@lemaitrethemonk]

What tires are Ya'll running? Thanks for the video.

[@Colorado4x4]

Holy downed trees! I bet you went into town and bought a chainsaw yes???

[@DrJohn493]

Stihl MS 170. Wouldn't leave home without it.

[@MichaelKeelphotography]

Are you using a chain or strap around those logs when moving them with your winch?

[@yussefedwards]

You caught the cow with the "505" tag hanging from his ear... I see you NM

[@jessemeanlt1]

You work too hard on the trees. Tie a snatch block to another tree run the whinch and it will drag the tree to the tree with the snatch block

[@Venture2Roam]

TIMBER!!!!!! Way to get in some "overland exercise" on the trip!

[@shauptmann06]

Here very early!

Sarah has the coolest “ work boots “ for tree removal. 🤣

Come for the adventure, stay for the safety infractions :D

[@mmodtomic7119]

10:27 - We spent a couple weeks in Steamboat Springs a few years ago over a summer. Funny enough, we stayed just up the street from the Iron Waffle and had breakfast there a couple times!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Such good food!

[@Bob-Campbell]

Are you going to add the chainsaw back into the kit?

Love those aspens! Not a critique, a genuine curiosity: Do you have room for a small battery powered chainsaw with your current overlanding setup?

They will get it now.

[@taylorlowinger1206]

Love this! Quick question for ya. I just noticed that you have the cloth seats. Is there a reason why you chose to go with those instead of the leather option? Curious because I am looking for a TRD ORF or the Trail and deciding which seats I should get. Thanks!

[@RoadTrippingFrank]

ok so im confused @4:00 the sign says "width" 62 inches = 5.16667 ft, so your vehicle is 75 inches = 6.25 ft wide?

[@LifestyleOverland]

Yep, outside of tire to outside of tire.

[@TheKPDX]

An example of tire width. It's one of the reasons some prefer "skinnies". I've never wished my truck was wider, I've often wished it was more narrow.

[@TheKPDX]

It's great how you're helping to demonstrate that one just needs to get off the beaten path to lessen the crowds. You're stitching the trails together into a named route will undoubtedly increase traffic but that will help lessen it overall. Kudos to you for naming an promoting some new routes!

[@peteacevedo3411]

We have been on the road ourselves but watching your video reminded me I need to cut some wood before it really starts snowing here in Colorado. Have enjoyed this series and may you guys have a great Christmas.
