Overland Bend, Oregon

Come explore Bend, Oregon with me and my family. Over 3 days we enjoy some offroading in our Jeep, hiking to a beautiful waterfall and exploring into a long dark lava tube along with so much more. We also end up finding one of the most unique places I've ever driven my Jeep to, a black sand beach in the middle of the Oregon forest.
If you've ever wanted to visit this special part of central Oregon, this video will definitely be an inspiration for you!

Skylight cave is a lava tube that was leftover from when lava was flowing underground. The tube hardens and lava flows in it. When the lava finishes and drains out, a tube is left. There are a few others on Oregon as well as in Hawaii. #geologynerd

That makes sense! Thanks for sharing this info! Don't know why I hadn't thought about it

[@Radison1337]

Came here to say this.

[@yourface3154]

@@Outofthewoods_Adventures There's also one right across the street in Redmond by the expo center.

[@maxwell.peters]

Really enjoyed the video! As someone who lives in Bend, it’s always fun to see people exploring the area! It’s a spectacular spot for overlanding and truck camping!

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

You live in such a beautiful place!

[@DoubleARallyTeam]

Breakfast s'mores are the dirtiest most brilliant thing I have ever seen!!!!

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

HAHA you'll never not want to have them after you start

[@OverlandingOurWay]

This is exactly how me and my wife go on our Overlanding trips. yes it is great to be away from all the people, but some of the most spectacular thing we have seen has been right off the freeway amongst the crowds.

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

Very true!

[@thebrownthomascrown917]

Beautiful family and views. Thanks for taking us along.

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

Our pleasure!

[@silvestrefrittoli6678]

Awsome! Great Trip. Teenagers almost never know how to enjoy the moments! 😂

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

HAHA so true

[@SkylinersYeti]

Tumalo Falls is 2.5 miles west of our cabin. Way too many people visit it each day during the summer even mid week. In winter is is a nice walk/cross country ski trip but again if snow conditions are good too many people. Living in Central Oregon I tend to head East into the high desert. Currently planning a trip to Owyhee Country. A person can spend a week with out seeing another person unless a local rancher is moving cattle or mending fence.

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

I do love heading to that area too. I've only been once but I loved how remote it was

[@chrisandrade4007]

What a great adventure!! Thank you!!

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@coolvibes3663]

Enjoyed your trip and love your Jeep set up. It's great to see someone all geared up to camp with that roof opened up to the sky. Got some things that have inspired me to do some day:) cheers

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

I love hearing that! What did you see that inspired you?

[@HeatherLanclos]

Great video! This is the kind of camping we love. I'm curious about your firepit...so many out there, what brand is yours?

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

Thank you very much!! This fire pit is from tacticool, it's a great little pit

[@MSchumacherfan]

Awesome camp spot

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

We definitely found some good ones this trip

[@333jsh]

That black sand area is so cool! I stumbled across it one day and it was rad.

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

Isn't it?!! Such a crazy spot

[@willamettehops]

Great trip and tips! Looks like your trip to Bend was awhile back? Everytime we go over there in the summer it's filled with nasty wildfire smoke.

[@6point1hemi]

Two footing is the technique you’d want to use when trying get on top of rocks.

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

Yes exactly, that what I was explaining as well

[@HamlinsFlatFenderAdventure1954]

Lava tube. They are all over Central Oregon

[@TheBurtv]

Great videos, your Rubicon is looking good. Painting the fenders to match really gives is a true custom look. What fenders are you running? I see you have knuckle pod lights and brackets, what brand are the brackets and lights? Anyhow we are enjoying your off-roading adventures, thanks. Oh yeah the graphics look good too where did you get those?

[@keniaflores8881]

Can I ask what front and rear fenders you have? Also can they bear weight, like stand on?

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

They are from kbd body kits, but no they don't support weight at all but I love them because of that flex. I'm really not worried about breaking them or anything pushing against rocks or trees

[@danielkyser5121]

awesome camp spots. I live in bend but have not been to any of these let alone did I know they even existed! I was wondering if you have the coordinates or directions on how to get to thesis spots?

[@SuperdutyJJ]

Can you share coordinates of that campsite you were at by Mount Washington please and thank you! 😁

[@avocadotortilla4991]

Looks like around the lake Billy Chinook Damm, maybe like Deschutes river?...

[@JeffreyBaird]

I would be interested as well. Looks like it is around Prineville Reservoir area. But I’m not sure which road to go in on. Love your videos and your family participation.

[@natuaventuras]

Hi, I really enjoy your video, can you please share the spots location were you camp in this video, I just staring Overlanding and can find those spots on any map.

[@JeffreyBaird]

Same here. I am planning a trip in September and recognize most of the spots near Bend. Thx and love you documentary style while having fun with the family.

[@shannonmetcalf7645]

What brand of firepit is that?

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

Tacticool 🤙

[@olafmeier]

Thanks for the awesome video. You got a nice family 😊 Did you use the Insta360 X4 or an older model?

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

Thank you very much!! I used the insta x3. Great little camera

[@renk5000]

Can we get the coordinates? Lol

[@lobochino]

Can you share the location of the amazing places you camped at?

Thank you very much!! Feel free to email me to chat more

[@SeleneSung-x2u]

@@Outofthewoods_Adventures That's great. How do I know the e-mail address?

[@lindasteller]

What are you doing with an open flame in that dry brush? Next time, stay in WA.

[@Outofthewoods_Adventures]

It was a propane fire pit, so no embers and totally safe. I also dug out around the whole fire pit a few feet away to make sure there were no grasses around. So maybe watch a little closer before you decide to leave a rude comment. 👍
