Overlanding Hells Canyon

[@Venture2Roam]

This was a breathtaking overland adventure to Hells Canyon. We'll never forget this adventure and hope you enjoyed the video. Did you know Will lost 128GBs of footage from our main camera??? That's why there's very little outside shots of the rigs (except drone shots) until we get stuck in the snow. He just about cried when he found out, but the video turned out pretty great regardless.

Great little adventure Will, thanks for sharing it with us!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Christoff! We haven’t been back there since making this video. Hoping to fix that this year 😀

[@mtak1127]

Copperfield Camp on the Snake is one of my all-time favorite campgrounds. Hells Canyon is where my heart and soul live forever. I have been there so many times, that tunnel is one of my favorite spots lol. When I take my last breath, that's where I want my ashes left, so I can forever see its beauty.

[@Venture2Roam]

We are in Spain right now…planning our next trip to Hells. I agree with you…it’s world class and we are so blessed to be near it. Thank you for the wonderful comment.

[@mtak1127]

@@Venture2Roam well now there is a world of difference right there. Spain is on my bucket list. Stay safe, and safe travels.

Great video, was just there myself. Well put together, and great content.

So glad you liked it. Thank you for watching a leaving a comment!

[@danielkisonit]

Wow. Those drones shots definitely conveyed how HUGE that that scenery is. Great job and you’re right, many YT videos lack story. There are a few out there who will realize they need to step up their game now! lol

[@Venture2Roam]

I can’t wait to go back there…we literally just scratched the surface…and it so vast and beautiful. It’s an overlander/creator dream!

[@RoadRashOffRoad]

I'm HERE!!!!!! Can't wait

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks for being here!!!! It was a great premier!

[@darksideemt]

What an epic trip! Very jealous of that one big time.

[@Venture2Roam]

I think we might make this an annual trip…it was that good!

Great video Will and Kate!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Gee! Can't wait to see your next vid!

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@Venture2Roam]

The only thing that would have made it better would be an Xterra stuck in a snowbank instead of my Jeep! 😂😂😂

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@Venture2Roam Oh, with no lockers and probably less clearance than you, I would have been stuck, :D. Would have been fun though!

[@Venture2Roam]

@@AllThingsOverlanding Actually - I think it was tentative driving on my part that got us stuck. I'd love to see that Xterra in action one of these days though!

[@tractortotrail]

Great trip, enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so much for watching! We'll be headed back the Hells, it's too good of a place to only visit once.

Fantastic trip! I've been getting into Overlanding as of the last couple of weeks, but between scouts, having a cheap dad, and just enjoying the outdoors, I've been camping since I was a baby. The more good trips with great friends you can get in, the better! ...also, I'mma need that Jambalaya recipe...

[@Venture2Roam]

I’m still trying to get that recipe from Elsje! So glad you liked the video!!!

[@Venture2Roam]

So glad you watched the video. Yes, happy to share will DM you :)

[@kevinbenson9866]

Hi, we exchanged text yesterday on KZbin. I have watched several of your videos over the last few weeks. Here's why I like what you do. It's family thing. Not that meany do it like that. Your narigation is informative but not (techie) of silly. Keep going! It will grow. also I don't drop Radom positive comments just to do it. That's a FYI I found your channel when I saw your military trailer rebuild.

[@Venture2Roam]

Kevin - I remember your comment from yesterday on our latest vid...and it's really cool to read this comment as well. Thank you for the feedback, it's really encouraging to hear the style we're going for is resonating...I really appreciate that you took the time to leave this comment considering you don't do it often. And I'm editing more Trailer vids right now!!! More to come. Thanks again.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Man, what an absolutely epic trip. I can’t tell you enough how well done your videos are. From the beautiful drone shots to the outstanding voice overs. You’re by far one of the best and most under rated channels out there in the overlanding space. Just glad I can say I knew you when you were just starting. (Not small, nothing about what you’re doing is small). Great job and keep it up. It was worth the wait.

[@Venture2Roam]

Wow Matt. That’s an incredible compliment! Thank you…seriously, it means a lot to us!

[@nickmcdvtt]

You had such better light for all of your shots than I did when I went. Absolutely amazing, man. By the way, I saw the same road up the Oregon side of the Canyon. Didn't venture over there, but good to know you can actually get through that way.

[@Venture2Roam]

I actually LOST 128gigs of footage on that trip! It was bananas...we were blessed with great weather the whole time. So this year we're hitting the road up on the Idaho side as well...it will be fun to see that place from both sides of the river. Thanks for giving it a watch!

[@juanpardo2295]

My son (11) and I go on a boys overlanding trip once a year. Wish I could do more but works sort of gets on the way. We did just over 500 miles on dirt last year to the Steens, Alvord and the Owyhee river canyon lands. It was Epic. This year I really want to go to the Wallowas and Hells Canyon. Are you sharing the route that you took on this trip?

[@Venture2Roam]

It’s so great to hear you get out with your son. Alvord to the Owyhees is an awesome trip, hope you had a blast. DM me on IG if you want to chat directly about this route. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Great video. What was the date of the trip? I am planning a visit to this area and would love to know when you did this trip.

[@Venture2Roam]

We did this in late May. Last year we tried again, but got snowed out…so it’s kind of a gamble that time of year.

Great job! Keeps getting better. How did the battery operated Thermosil work?

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you!!! We’ve had it out on a few trips now, and I think it works as well as the lantern style. Love the size, but have to remember to recharge it or things get buggy!

@@Venture2Roam thank you! Keep up the good work.

[@moejr14]

Awesome man...my family loves your videos. Your voice over and editing is amazing and we feel like we are on an adventure with y’all. Do you know of any mild/easy overland trips around the treasure valley area. We just bought our first RTT and are looking to take an adventure of the beaten path but we are not familiar with any good spots. We love mountain lakes, and rivers, thick forest. Our Jeep Cherokee does not like steep hills though. Any advice would or directions would be much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us my fellow Idahodian.

Great video! What is the mapping program you’re using in the beginning?

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you! We use Gaia GPS

[@MeanOneMeanOne]

Great stuff! How'd the battery powered Thermacell function? I've wanted one forever but have been hesitant because of mixed reviews and needing to carry butane cartridges.

[@Venture2Roam]

The Thermocells have worked well for us. We don’t have crazy bug conditions most of the places we go, so we haven’t put it to any extreme tests. The battery powered option has been just as good (so far) as the butane version, but it’s much smaller and easier to pack. Just remember to charge it, as we forgot this weekend and had more bugs than we would have liked!

[@Lionheartgrudge]

Can a toyota corolla go up the road?

[@Venture2Roam]

A Corolla could probably make it, but I wouldn't do it..things that seem very easy in a lifted Jeep might be very different in something with less than 5 inches of ground clearance and street tires. You can drive on pavement to the Hells Canyon look out point though.

[@TheKapplegate]

I live on that road ❤

[@Venture2Roam]

That’s awesome!

[@timbedortha6452]

Learn the name of the river please

[@Venture2Roam]

Help me out. Which river did I get wrong?

[@michaelramsey9975]

Better than Netflix for sure. 😃 When did you go? Trying to gauge when s good time to plan a trip that way would be. I'm not super far away, in Utah, but still far enough I can't just pop in.

[@Venture2Roam]

We went in late May. The weather can be variable then though. Last year we got snowed out at that time. I’d wanna go before July though as it gets incredibly hot there in the summer. Thanks for watching!

[@MissouriAdventures]

Is that a sticker on your hat? Whats up with that?

[@Venture2Roam]

Hey there thanks for watching! It’s not a sticker, it’s a gripper for grabbing the bill oh the hat. Kind of wierd, but I’ve gotten used to it. It’s a Melin hat if you’re interested

[@MissouriAdventures]

@@Venture2Roam never seen that before. Now that makes some sense. Unlike leaving stickers and tags on hats. Never understood that. Haha.

[@khadijagwen]

In 2018 I drove a 2016 Subaru Outback from Richland, Oregon to Huntington, Oregon along the Oregon side of the Snake river. It is bad road, steep and no guard rails. I do not recommend it. Where I was close to the snake river, it stank like a sewer. I was alone. It was foolish of me.

[@Venture2Roam]

That’s not great to hear! Glad you were ok.

[@garyw8362]

Nothing like watching city folk try to buy their way thru an adventure, not realizing that with that they've already lost the adventure. Money don't buy everything. True experience will get you much farther. Plus you will end up with a better work out. I understand you're travelling with your wife and youngans, but they've got to learn some time too. Unless you would prefer they also learn with the big $$$ method. "

[@Venture2Roam]

City folk? I grew up on a dirt road in Weiser, Idaho. But who cares if I didn’t? Our adventures are our own, and you don’t get to have a say in how I raise my family. Be careful of criticizing others whom you do not know.

[@DnDSeekingAdventure]

It’s all big money to get the abundance of necessary gear to make these trips possible, especially with a family of 4. For all you know, Will and his wife have saved up all their lives and this was their vision. Like mentioned above, careful with your criticism of others you do not know.
