Mashed Potato Trail. Moab, UT. Solo. #96

Mashed Potato was a great surprise as it turned out to be more challenging than advertised. The second-to-last obstacle almost had me turning around, 2 different V's come in at different angles and you start on top of a rock with minimal room to set the line up. Still I was able to look at it for a minute and make it down easily although was very surprised I didn't hear any scraping haha. This is a short cool one in the mix of all easy trails so hit it up if you're in the network and looking for a little more action. Have fun out there!

My Tires:
amzn.to/2whk2MF
I love these tires. The only others I'd take are the BFG KO2 but they don't make them in this size and the KM2's are amazing. You can probably imagine the amount of driving I do weekly and how much abuse my tires get.
My Tire Deflators:
amzn.to/2nYVxzU
These tire deflators have many $15 copies but the others just don't hold up or are inaccurate. I don't know what the deal is, they look identical to me too but read the reviews- they're bad. I've been using these Staun's for over a year and never had a problem, I air down a lot. Set them at the trail so your tires will be the same temp when you get to the trail next time.
My Compressor:
amzn.to/2PuerLH
There are better ones but I'd just get a bigger VIAIR, not someone different. Airs up all my 33's from 14psi to 37psi in less than 10 minutes. The in-line gauge is inaccurate when the compressor is on because of the pressure passing through. You need to switch it off to get a real reading. You can combat this by figuring out what incorrect reading corresponds to the real one. When mine is right at 3 Bar (43psi) it's slightly over 37psi. I put it on another tire and then use my real gauge to set it exactly.
My Microphone:
amzn.to/2P1S3sb
My microphone is the worst good mic you can get. BUT don't be fooled, it's a very good mic. Picture me getting in my car for the 50th time after I just ran up and down a hill... for the 50th time. Do you see me disconnecting my mic and gingerly setting it in a case? No. It stays connected to the tripod, gets thrown into my plastic cargo area and bounces around with other heavy items until the next one. It gets terrible interference from WiFi so you must make sure that it's off on your camera or phone. If you are trying to use this with your phone you need to get a TRS to TRRS cable which RODE makes. This is required because your phone will think the mic is headphones.
My Tripod:
amzn.to/2o8h6hL
I went through 2 tripods in 1 month, a $20 and a $30. Buy it nice or buy it thrice. This thing gets opened and closed MANY times per week in rain, snow, dirt, and even in the middle of rivers. I love the 2-stage legs so i can make it real low in 2sec instead of shortening all the legs.
My Drone:
amzn.to/2KUGWAp
You can tell how easy it was to progress through my videos. Besides maybe five times, you've seen every bit of flying since I got it. I don't fly in the city and I don't go to the mountains and not make a video. It is VERY easy to use.
My Drone ND Filters:
amzn.to/2MHV0R0
The filters are a must. Again I have the worst ones and I am still very pleased. My first use was video #35 and I think it is very apparent. Illinois Gulch (#34 obviously) has a completely white sky, way too much blue. I'm still not even good about selecting the right one or changing them out but it's 10x better than nothing.
My Books:
amzn.to/2wmd20O CO
amzn.to/2BzDIBc CO North
amzn.to/2ByPuvy Moab
FunTreks books are great. I like to bring as much information as possible when I go to the middle of nowhere. They have coordinates and maps for everything, very in-depth info on sturdy pages.
This is the stuff I've tested, this is what I like. I am very hard on all of my equipment frequently and it still works. I back all of these items and each company seems to back their product very well too. I guess it's easy to offer a warranty when your stuff doesn't break.

[@mikemorgan4670]

Different mood with the weather. Really liked the shot when you dropped into the water with the snow flakes and clouds in the backdrop. Looked really cool. Nice drive.

[@rsdaarud]

Nice! All done solo!

[@BRollOffroad]

this was one of my favorite trails obstacle-wise, snow made it a bit scary and i was driving back to Denver immediately after haha. was quite a trip!

[@Alex-kv5cp]

This Nissan has seen more trails than all the lifted street queen Jeeps/trucks out there, proof you don't need anything fancy to enjoy trails 👌

[@BRollOffroad]

that's the message here at B Roll, run what ya brung haha!

[@Gizmo42Rodeo]

Gave the rear rock slider a workout.

[@BRollOffroad]

haha yea i'll never do any towing with this thing, left on as a bumper protector.

[@Gizmo42Rodeo]

That's pretty much all mine was used for. After years of it slamming on ledges and slick rock the brackets bent at some point. I never knew it until I took it off to build my steel bumper. Which I still haven't finished 3 years later.

[@bodhi7945]

Great looking drive. Seems like you picked a great time to be out there. Some rain to help with grip a bit but not crazy floods.

[@BRollOffroad]

this is from mid February, i was just here last weekend and THAT was the perfect time. it looks so much crazier now that things are turning green and still before the crowd gets there.

[@schuylerking1318]

Another great video! Got pretty flexie in that ravine. Seems like you could benefit from a smaller trailer hitch😜

[@BRollOffroad]

thank you! maybe sometimes but also on the real bad ones that's my trusty bumper protector haha.

[@GridLineGo]

Absolutely awesome! You got some good stuff too man! 🤘 keep it up!

[@BRollOffroad]

thanks bud!

[@Fourwheeljive]

Well done my friend. Reminds me of all the exploring I did in Ol’ 76. Have you had a chance to watch my video of Trail of Ol’ 76 yet?

[@ArmandoMartinez]

DO you air down your tires for these rides?

[@BRollOffroad]

yes, usually 11-14psi. i air down pretty much any time i hit dirt, even if the trail is easy it's so much smoother, faster and better overall.
