Moab Must Do Off Road Trails - Canyonlands Shafer Trail in 4x4 Jeep

[@stephenheard8520]

Love your enthusiasm about driving the Jeep. I'm now on my 5th Jeep and the excitement never wears off. Great video and especially enjoyed the drone shots.

[@rettrasberry4019]

LOVE Moab and the surrounding areas! There is so much to do and see there. Your driving down the switchback brings back great memories. Enjoy your time.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

We know exactly what ya mean about Jeep envy!! We was in Sedona AZ in March and seeing all the Jeeps made us long for going places our Chevy Dually wouldn’t go. So we just sold our truck and 5th wheel and bought a Jeep and Class A!! Headed to Colorado next month on our 1st adventure in our new set up and can’t wait to hit the trails!! Hope y’all can join us and become RV Jeepers someday!!

[@dustykatz2744]

I really enjoy you guys. Your "nerdy excitement" is exactly how I would feel doing the neat stuff you do. It reminds me of watching Huell Howser, he'd get get such Joy out of life as well. Keep it up.

[@LivinLifeinDrive]

Soooo awesome! We did Moab in our badass jeep and just watching this makes me sooooo jealous, now that we are fulltime, we will meet up soon and take yal in our jeep on the crazy trails!

[@FateUnbound]

No WE'RE the jealous ones! We want a Jeep too hahaha! Safe and happy travels! -David

[@LivinLifeinDrive]

@@FateUnbound they're sooooo fun to own and they are just a good conversation starter at the gas pump, people always comment about it. But a drug addiction maybe cheaper than modifying a jeep ! Hahah!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

Looked like a great time......Beautiful scenery........Stay Safe and God Bless......

[@brian_abroad]

I spent a couple months exploring Arizona back in 2000. I already owned a 4X4 Dodge Dakota. I had sooo much fun with my 4X4 exploring the back road and canyons. I plan to return to Arizona this winter and will definitely be buying another 4X4 vehicle. My aunt gave me a great tip if I ever got stuck in the sand. She told me to cut mesquite bushes and put them under each tire. Well, I did get stuck and, by golly, her tip save me a towing fee. I love the way David’s face crunches up when he gets excite grinning from ear-to-ear.

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

Beautiful shots! Glad you had so much fun. Sometimes you just have to splurge. The memories will be with you forever!

[@lisafleming9603]

Beautiful points of view.

[@fittrainerforlife]

Video / drone work / editing just keeps getting better. Great content. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

Ditto!

[@joulemine]

7:16 is the best! 🤣 Oh and of course Pucker Pass 😎. One day we will have a bigger C or small A and a Jeep!! Great video yall! Safe travels! -Thomas & Stacy

[@FateUnbound]

Hahahaha yeah she was a LITTLE excited! And we may go that route some day with our rig too. Safe travels to you too! 😁👍😎

[@joulemine]

@@FateUnbound Oh and the Udon was DELICIOUS!!

[@rivettsrvadventures6308]

We JUST bought a wrangler last week! Yellow with black top to pull behind our motor home! Can’t wait to take it out west!

[@michaelsyoutubechannel5857]

Just added this trail to my bucket list. Looks amazing and you captured it beautifully.

[@chotoken9354]

Awesome video and awesome views! I would love to do Moab on a dirtbike. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@jillavery4942]

This video is so fun to watch!! We were there last summer and did that trail with a rented Jeep but we started from the other end. My husband may not have told myself and our son about the switchbacks until we were more than half way through the ride. I definitely white knuckled it but it was so worth it!! What amazing views and the Thelma and Louise spot was so cool!!

[@altonza]

Been super busy with work and this was soooo refreshing. Thanks for cheering me up after a long stressful week of office politics/madness #ThumbsUp!

[@A_Bunch_of_Savages]

Most of Utah is an adult playground. It’s was great to see you two having so much fun.

[@davidtitley6822]

Spectacular video -- thanks for sharing! Glad you guys had such a good time (and temporarily satisfied your Jeep-envy needs!) in Moab!

[@georgebyrne3426]

Loved the video and the Jeep. You kids produce very consistent high quality videos! Keep up the great work!

[@rosemiller646]

I can relate with your guys’ excitement about jeeping! My family & I rented a Jeep in Ouray, CO (the “jeeping capital of the world” due to all the old mining roads in the area that go high into the mountains! Totally amazing, and Ouray has LOTS of Jeep rental places! Don’t miss out on jeeping there whenever you get a chance to visit that area. We are DEFINITELY going back one day!)

[@hankbern9847]

Hey David and Jenni....just viewed your Shafer Road video and like you two were not able to travel that road last May when we were in Canyonlands N.P. sooo were able to experience it thru you guys....pretty awesome!!!!!And the Long Canyon Road started off flat and turned into a road to behold!!!!Driving under that huge rock was a bit scary.....Anyway, if we get back there, we will be sure to visit the Twisted Jeep....Still enjoying your videos and drone work....keep it up!!!!All the best....Hank and Pam

[@johnnytraveler1]

A VERY entertaining video. I'll be heading out there in a few weeks to do the same thing!

[@jnrbabb]

Has to be your BEST video! Very impressive content and your 4K quality is a super WOW factor. We watched it on our 65 inch TV screen. Outstanding!

[@VARider1]

Completed both of these trails on my motorcycle this week. The conditions were not as smooth as your video due to lots of road damage. Just added to the fun. Ran Shafer Trail from Potash to Canyonlands in 35 minutes!

[@virginialemm864]

Unbelievably gorgeous scenery you two. We haven’t camped in Utah in quite some time now...looks like it’s back on our bucket list, along with New Mexico! All these places I want to see.. hope I live long enough to visit them all! Your drone abilities just get better, and better, and better. Thanks for taking us all along!

[@anthonygasparini1734]

What a great video and what beautiful country, thanks for sharing...Happy Trails! PS that Jeep was Awesome!!

[@Steve_Farwalker]

WOW, some of the best camera views and editing on the whole TUBE. SOMEDAY, your Rubicon and Class C wishes will come true. I CAN FEEL IT.

[@jimsheely5491]

That caat is soo chill

[@ChrisChrisman]

Great video! Just bought a Jeep and Camper and are heading to Canyonlands in the fall. Also subscribed!

[@FateUnbound]

Heck yeah! You're gonna love it there, have a great time friend!

[@Adrian-Pryke]

Gorgeous scenery again, many many thanks for sharing it with us 👍 I’m not usually a fan of jeeps but I can see why you loved the one you had 😎

[@milesdendy1586]

This is great guys! I’m looking to start RV-ing and I enjoy watching your experiences and travel tips. I can’t wait to visit.

[@bobwallis1757]

Great video! We loved Moab when we visited last year. Matrimony Springs. More drone footage!!! you guys rock

[@FateUnbound]

Thanks! Moab is an awesome area to explore. 😁👍

[@iteotwawkiaiff8948]

Ah man!! We just rented a Jeep and did these same two trails last Sunday! (9June) and I agree...they are EPIC! So beautiful! Can’t wait to take my FJ to Moab in the fall.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I’m so jealous! I always wanted to drive on those switchbacks! Thank you so much for doing it for me.

[@FateUnbound]

They are quite an incredible experience. Hopefully we were able to give you a good taste of what it was like! -David

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Fate Unbound You did an amazing job in the National Park and blew me away with the drone footage outside of the park! Thank you so much 😊

[@terrymoseley168]

Thank U for some awesome pictures, cause I know I would never drive on those narrow trails. Just me, I know, but it ain't happenen! I stick with wide open flat lands, thank U.

[@davidh5009]

A drone has great potential. It takes creativity and effort to realize that potential. David and Jenni are maximizing that realization. Plus, David eats stir fry with a fork!

[@alanj7306]

Awesome 😎 video. That’s so awesome and beautiful there! The trails looked really smooth, but I’d still rather be in the Jeep too. Amazing job with the footage and drone.

[@Paul.Douglas]

That view at 11:20! Great vid. Your truck could have done that, but it's more fun in a Jeep.

[@billredding2000]

Probably, even if having to make several short "Y" moves in each switchback to get through them. However, not sure the truck could make it through the VERY tight (and scary) switchbacks of Black Bear Pass. -- BR

[@craigkosters9852]

We just left Telluride area again and last year we rented a Jeep saying the same thing. We hated to turn it in so we bought one, put an iKamper on it and hit the trails. Moab nights were a little to warm for the tent so we opted for 34 to 44 degrees at night in Colorado. Love the new JL though 😍

[@buddythejeepdog]

Hey guys! Recently discovered your videos and gotta say “we love them”. You do a great job. We love Your pets too. They are all so cute. Keep up the good work.

[@truck93]

Looks like fun. Welcome to the offroading community!

[@shaynelhta]

Ive got a nearly identical rubicon, and i love it.

[@krissto22]

Fantastic views, great video👍 It looked scary as hell! Stay safe out there. Love Jenny's short hair. It looks so cute 💕

[@lisafleming9603]

Fantastic comment.

[@doreenolson129]

Awesome video! Great views! It definitely looks like fun trails and glad you guys got to do it. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Big824John]

Hello David and Jenni :) Well, I've learned that between e-bikes and Jeeps, you two certainly love "motorized" toys :) This is a great video! Your enthusiasm is awesome :) I too want a 4WD. I am looking at either a Toyota 4-Runner or a Tacoma truck :) I think I am gonna do some research on the Jeeps too :) I love both the ground and drone videography you did while out in the Jeep :) Excellent video quality, and you both look like you were having a great time :) Have fun!

[@stever7258]

Just a thought. Keep your current tow vehicle and use the money you save not buying a jeep to rent one as desired. Let someone else do all the maintenance and save your tow vehicle for towing. And great drone video/work!

[@stephenfleming7918]

My jeep wrangler has lasted over 230,000 miles and the engine is still going strong. Been lots of fun. Go for it!

[@tammymcdowell9469]

Omg! Love this video! I would so love to do this one day! Love the drone footage! I am so glad y'all finally got to do this. I can tell y'all had a blast!

[@jeffkodysz4309]

There's nothing else like a Jeep for exploring the world. I've had Jeeps in the past and switched to Ford F-150s, but my wife just bought a 2020 Gladiator, and I got the Jeep bug again. I traded my 2018 F-150 for a 2020 JLU Wrangler. Now we're shopping for a small travel trailer we can pull with the Jeeps and Explore the world!

[@mikerobbins5049]

We have driven those roads/trails several times ourselves. The drone footage you did along the green river gives it a entirely different perspective. Pucker pass isn all that bad after you’ve done it.... we took our chevy crew cab on these trails as well as a couple of others. But it is 4x4

[@louisekelly3243]

We go to Moab all of the time since we live close by in Colorado but never on that trail. Don't think I have a strong enough heart!! That was so awesome. Have Fun!! :)

[@wayneshufelt3393]

Definitely would love to see this for real. Your camera work is amazing and the detail...WOW so beautiful.

[@TheDadofThem]

Great video!! That drone footage!!!!!

[@EastTexasBallistics]

Y'all are really nice people. Really fun to watch positivity!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁😁

[@carlaivey9806]

Thank you thank you and thank you!! A fun video, showing Miss Alice( TiggerS is over the moon) and bring able to show some aerial stuff. I think your BEST video so far!!!

[@movingforwardLDTH]

Lol, we've been at BLM 143 for almost a week, having picked this place based on your previous video. It has worked out great for both working & sightseeing, so thanks!!!

[@koslund11]

Now I'm jealous. We're looking at Sept for a visit to Moab. What was your clearance when going under the big bolder at Puker Pass. Didn't look like you had much room. I just love southern Utah and can't wait to get back. Thanks for sharing Shaffer Trail, it brought back many memories of Moab area.

[@iyot1020]

going this october just bought an fj lets do it!!!!

[@nicoferreira1426]

Highly enjoyable - great drone scenes: maybe the best on KZbin? I am soo jealous - Greetings out of (South) Africa.

[@Poncelopr]

One of the most beautiful drone footage I have ever seen! 👏🏼👏🏼 thank you for this scenery

[@matturner7763]

So cool. So happy for you 2.

[@FateUnbound]

Thanks Matt 😊

[@sow9880]

The drone shots while you were driving was freaking awesome. I think the ultimate set up would be the shortest super c you could find flat towing a jeep.

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

Great video and great shots! Safe travels!

[@cslay06]

So awesome to see you guys so excited 😜 can’t wait to get out to Utah. Stay safe!

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Oh yea! You definitely should get a Jeep! If you ever need trail ideas/guides once you do, I got you covered on my channel lol. Loved the video, but you could have done Long Canyon and Shafer switchbacks in your truck (just a FYI). If you go back, get a jeep and do maze overlook trail (moderate) or fins and things (difficult but not really).... but there’s so many good ones!

[@bruceh3786]

You really captured the beauty of the area with your photography and editing. Great job! I have the same 2004 LLY Duramax as you but in 4 wheel drive and a short bed. I bought it new and It has been a great vehicle. It does get me around on the back roads but I doubt I would want to do the drive you did in the jeep. I think it would be to big and it does not have the best turning radius. It probably would not have cleared some those tight spots on the second drive. Getting the jeep for the day was a smart move! Thomas and Stacy mentioned in their last video about you folks helping each other out and one item was a repair to your truck. Seeing as I have basically the same truck, could you share what needed repairing. IT might be a good thing for me to know! Thanks.

[@ZafodB3]

Love to take the Africa Twin there! It is well suited for that type of terrain.

[@robertwhite1265]

You missed out on the slick rock trails right there on the east side of Moab, if you get a chance you should check it out. It is absolutely amazing how much traction you get on the rock, you can climb at such acute angles you will get to experience some real "pucker factor". Good job on this video.

[@FateUnbound]

For our first time we went on some easy newbie trails. Next time though we'll kick it up a notch and keep that trail in mind! Thanks! -David

[@rbinpa]

Thanks for observing no drone zone! There are enough giant bugs buzzing in NPS.

[@bird10498]

This may be your most professional video yet. The editing matched the music and the drone videos were fantastic. I love that you both drive, no male chauvinism here. Do you fly the drone from inside the car while driving? I'd be nervous driving along some of those cliffs but hell, I'm nervous driving in the city. This video told a great story. Wish I could be in Moab to do the same thing,.

[@ItsAboutTimeNow]

We took our Jeep on a easy trail (Picture Frame Arch) .... then we saw Canyonlands and the Schaefer Trail.... almost did it.... but I (Diana) but the breaks on it LOL ~ Brad and Diana

[@coreyraley6213]

Great video man.

[@benlance5904]

You are great with the drone! Great footage! Thanks for sharing! I m so jealous!

[@izzyvet]

I did the Schafer Trail last September in my EarthRoamer, with about 20 other ER's... so much fun! 28' long and DID NOT 3 point any of those switchbacks! Traffic pretty much stopped watching us all come down.

[@leonardwood8024]

Get a 4x4 off road pickup. Gfg ko2s, 33inch, nitro rear shocks, raise it 2" ,winch, proper recovery gear, cb radio, and you're good to go with your p/u. Did plenty of trails with mine, no need to spend big bucks on Jeep or rentals. Doing TAT next week. Happy trails. Len.

[@ririlan2137]

I didn't know you could fly a drone in the Canyonlands. Very nice video. We'll be there in September, maybe do a Jeep ride!!!

[@FateUnbound]

We say in the video multiple times that we are flying the drone on BLM land just outside of Canyonlands National Park. You can not fly drones in any national park.

[@ririlan2137]

@@FateUnbound I'm sorry not having understand it. I'm French speaking and sometime, I don't get everything on the first try.

[@FateUnbound]

Oh okay, no problem! We just have to make it very clear that we were not flying in a national park because it is not allowed.

[@johngillette463]

My wife was pretty apprehensive about Shafer Trail, but once you start down the switchbacks you are too busy enjoying the scenery. Goblin Valley and The Powell Museum in Green River are worth visiting. The museum is good for a rainy day or part of one, at least.

[@alanhester9984]

I have a F 250 4x4 when we use to tow a trailer and I came to the same conclusion about the length and turning radius was too big for off road except in big open areas. We switched to a motor home and now have a 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4x4 we tow flat 4 down. The Suzuki GV was the last light weight vehicle made with an automatic transmission and 4 wheel Hi Lo transfer case that could be towed flat 4 wheels down. I love our Suzuki for the same reason you loved that Jeep in the video. The only thing I plan to do to the Suzuki is put a 2" lift kit on. A 4 Runner would be next on my list if I could tow it's weight.

[@karenenglish4900]

Try taking a 4 wheel drive through Arches after a morning rain! We took a restricted side road to see more arches but ended up mudding instead. Took mudding off my bucket list!

[@joansommerfield8419]

That stir fry sounds and looks great!!!! Are the noodles precooked? Love your idea to add additional veggies. Don’t know if my Walmart has them but sure want to try the recipe. Wish you posted it just in cassette some of us can’t locate it. Pat the critters for all of us.🐾

Did you do Long Canyon going up, starting from high way 279?

[@davidshepack2484]

Really nice video!!!!! It looks like a two wheel drive vehicle could handle the Shaefer trail other than some sand traps?

[@deltadaze6836]

Feel like the truck is a granny wagon now?🤣...When we lived in Maine, we’d take the CJ-5 out in the middle of snow storms just to pull people out of ditches 😆. They sure can cover your ‘’fun’ addition (that must be good for you cause it’s outside😁......Asian food does NOT taste right without chopsticks🥢. My H got me my own titanium chopsticks in a carrying case two Christmases ago cause I love using them so much, lol...he is def the fork person in our family 💁🏻‍♀️😊. This vid was soooo awesomely fun!!! We’d only have room for 2-wheelers (motorcycles) in our toyhauler, so we’d be looking to rent also. We’ll have to check out Twisted Jeeps in Moab.

[@natangell8470]

I posted on Thomas and Stacy's Vid of you guys at Angel Peak. that I thought it was neat that I, from a small town in NC have been to the same places. We were on a different site at Angel Peak, but still at the same place, We have also stayed in the old twisted cedars across from the entrance to Mesa Verde, and at the Cherry Creek Gravel pit and on the BLM land north of Moab. That is such a unique area that all should see it. I hope in your travels that you get to Capital Reef and then drive hwy 12 thru Torrey over to Bryce Canyon. That is one of the best drives I have ever taken

[@Pilgrimdave1960]

Once again, I just love hanging out with you guys. You are truly gifted at video production. If the two of you were any cuter I wouldn't be able to watch. Dang y'all are a blast!

I enjoyed your drone work. I’ll be in the Moab area in a couple of weeks and I’m now inspired to get some drone footage like that. Unfortunately you missed some of the most awe inspiring and dramatic sights in the Moab/Blanding area! I know, you never have time to see everything, but that does make it do you want to return, doesn’t it? How can I send you a couple of photos of the kind of amazing sights you can visit on your next trip?

[@russellpottenger8584]

Looks like you guys had a good time in the Jeep. Hope somebody advised you to air down the air pressure in the tires.
