As we were working our way north towards the US and Canadian border for our summer in Alaska, we opted to take the scenic route. With OnX we found a few trails that would ultimately get us to where we needed to go while giving us an intimate tour through some new terrain in northern Nevada and eastern Oregon. Ultimately we made a trail of our own that you can check out on OnX and drive if it’s right for you and your vehicle!

You two do such AMAZING work! We love seeing you get sponsored by amazing brands that you believe in. I can't believe how many haters are commenting on here. We follow you on Instagram and saw that you will be off grid filming your Alaska series for the next little while. Hopefully you will be able to forget the haters and enjoy! We have used your Tacoma Truck build- and we love it! We are constantly laughing with each other that we added enough detail "to show we care a little" *wink* like you did in your build vlog. You are so inspiring in many ways- please keep doing what you're doing and don't let the haters get you down. Thank you for all the hard work you do for our FREE entertainment and education. We appreciate you!

I’m so appreciative of this so thank you. So I did take some time to reflect on these comments because I will say they got to me. Normally that isn’t the case, but I try to keep a healthy relationship with this sort of things. You hit the mail on the head though. This is how we make a living, however I do have standards. I only agree to projects with companies that really are apart of our lives. But all of that to say I’m really proud we have some killer brand partners who help have the time to pour into these videos. This is something we’ve really come to love and have so much to learn, and these are all practice to be better creatives and storytellers, and no matter what people say about it, that’s what we care about ❤️

We live in the Central Oregon Cascades ( currently have 16 inches of snow). Southeastern Oregon is one of our main go to locations to explore. We can spend a lifetime exploring this area and rarely see the same spot more than once. One of the challenges I have found in exploring this area is private lands and signs on BLM roads that say "private road, no trespassing" Many times I have had to go back 36 miles because of private property. We must respect private property rights. The ranches in this are are very conservative and do not tolerate trespassers. Many of the BLM maps I use do not indicate if roads are public or private. Just found your channel with the video of hiking the Olympic coast trail. We plan to hike that next spring if our health permits.

The wife and I are just about ready to head out there for about 3 weeks in our purpose built 3rd Gen Tacoma pulling a rugged little offroad trailer I built. We have been marking all kinds of POI out there that we would like to locate and check out personally. The landscape, the thunderstorms, the wildlife and absolute raw nature of that part of the state is SOOOO right for the exporation of it. Your drone shots flew right over some of the trails that we plan to explore and it gives me some ideas of what to expect. Thanks again!

Those milkshakes at that place have enough calories to feed a platoon of infantry for a week. Those are great milkshakes as well. The real deal. Not some mystery goop flavored to taste similar to a milkshake. Hamburgers are great too. Don't be surprised if you see an airplane there. Airplanes sometimes land on the Alvord to camp, then prior to heading back to wherever, they land on the highway and taxi up to the parking lot for fuel.

It looks like you guys have mastered the art of product placement, which is not easy to do as evident in other youtube channels. I’m glad to see you’re being sponsored by companies you actually use (and who your viewers could use as well if they’re into these kinds of activities). I don’t understand the negative comments regarding sponsored posts. It’s not like MAK is pushing products for manscaping, or Owen pushing home security systems. But even if they were, that’s what it takes to put food on the table and put gas in the tank. We all have to do something to earn a living, and everyone is in sales in one way or another. Looking forward to the Alaska series. Keep up the good videos and good reviews.

Just a little surprised by the keyboard warriors that have no idea the weight of a vehicle effects the sidewall destruction of a tire and if you air down and destroy your sidewall you can blow out at highway speed. That is not a 4K jeep it has to be over 9K guessing and depending on what you have for tires a good stiff sidewall load rated tire will free itself from the bead very easy when you lower tire pressure. Driving in slushy snow is low traction and with the slope you would have slid and just tore up a trail. Since it was not your only choice and no emergency you made the correct decision to not go through. That is the kind of place some will use tire chains and find out how far till they get really stuck and tear up the trail.

However, I do believe in not pushing it too much. :D

When I travel around that area in my Tacoma, I carry four 20L (5gal) militiary fuel cans, and 35 gallons of water. It's smart to have your fuel as well as your water capacity stored in several cans/jugs to reduce the likelihood of complete loss of your liquids in the event of a sudden leak. We spread out the liquids between the truck and a small trailer to balance the load. It is extremely remote out there and more so when you leave pavement and the groomed gravel roads. The two track trails can get so remote, it is bordering on really unsafe to attempt if you don't have sturdy offroad capable tires, ground clearance, maps, spare liquids, food and a good communication device above and beyond a cell phone. That area of Oregon has the most remote travels in the lower 48. If you plan to visit, plan WAYYY ahead on how you are going to do it.

No actually. We find it's rare we have to use 4x4. We don't push things too hard because our house is on the back of the truck, BUT we are no strangers to rough conditions that require 4x4 or a locker. I guess the best way to put it is we don't seek out super rough roads, but if something that we want to do or see is down a technical road, we will do what we gotta do to get to the end of it. Hope that makes sense

Of all of the off road apps/navigation apps we use OnX the most. And I mean that from the bottom of our hearts. We like it because it gives us better terrain maps that anyone else both with snow and none snow modes. We used to use OnX off-road for hiking actually before they came out with OnX backcountry... which we are thankful for because we were never fans of all trails. We are here in Alaska now and have a weeks work of our travels all saved offline because we use it so much. With it we don’t have to do as much blow by blow research because we can look ahead as we go. Before it we had to plan out so far ahead of time that sometimes it felt like if anything through off our researched plan we had to then start flying blind. We love OnX and it’s an honor that they love us back

It very well could be possible, however it is more likely that the ground around the road is actually soft, muddy and riddled with rim bender rocks. Side stepping an established track in the wilderness for the sake of convienence is highly frowned upon in the offroad community. If you can turn around safely and find another trail that you can take to get through, then that is the right option. If human life is at stake, or extreme damage to your vehicle is imminent because you absolutely CANNOT turn around or procede on the already established trail, then your only option may be to work around the obsticle doing your absolute best to leave no trace. It's best to know your limits, your vehicle limits, and walk those areas before getting yourself past the point of no return. Mac made the right decision to test it, and then turn around because she felt that their rig and experience was not optimal to continue that route through the snow.

Omg...up here in Canada soccer moms would burn through that few inches of snow in their 2wd vans🤣

Something tells me that the soccer moms in Canada aren’t driving a 9k lb vehicle and don’t have all their worldly possessions in them. We play it safe because this rig is everything to us including our house.

Oof, this felt like one big spot. Since Summer Adrift all the videos have felt like I’m watching commercials and it’s kind of a bummer. I get needing the dineros, but it does make it tough to watch. I’m all for sponsorships and I love that you guys are getting popular and adding more sponsors, but it’s starting to feel forced. I’m nervous about you Alaska adventures being one big advertisement and that would just ruin the vibe tbh. Obviously everyone needs to make a living and sponsorships are an incredible source of income in your position, but please please please post more unencumbered personal content between sponsored videos and keep the vibe that drew us all to your channel in the beginning!

Well just so you know this is how we travel. This is what we use. These people help us find our travels so we can make these videos. If you want more of them, we need help finding it. But just know OnX is what we use for this sort of thing, and it’s an honor they want to work with us because we try truly love them.

Funding* you have a job right? Well this had become ours. We only choose to work with companies that we know, love, and use. Not the 15-20 other companies that flood our inbox with requests for videos. We work with the companies that don’t make us do things that we aren’t already doing the way we do it. If you can’t be here for that than I understand but unless we start to put things behind a pay wall, which I just can’t do, these companies make these things possible.

And that’s definitely good to hear. We take your reviews to heart because you guys are actually using these products in the same manner in which my wife and I do, so the reviews are valuable in that sense. I absolutely understand you guys rely on these sponsorships for your livelihood and so do a lot of other content creators on this platform. Please don’t take this as an ultimatum or anything. We’ll always watch your videos and will support you guys in any way we can. You’re inspiring us to embark on similar adventures. All I’m saying is I really hope this channel doesn’t move to solely sponsored videos with scripts from companies and brands plastered throughout. Nothing wrong with this type of video, but when entire channels become dedicated to these formats, as some of my other favorites have, the magic kind of fades.

It just kills me to know that someone watched our entire video which took weeks to make and that’s all there is to say about it. Because of onx and a few other key sponsors (all of which we approached and asked to sponsor us because we love them) have made it possible to take the entire summer off to film our new series. Without them, we simply wouldn’t be here to share

Just know there are a few more of these types of videos coming out that have been made and scheduled while we are here doing our thing. Then we are taking a few months off to start editing the new series.

Seriously. This is not a good look for Toyota and their 4x4 system. Pathetic. Don't you have lockers?

Has to do a lot with weight, airing down properly, and as you pointed out, lockers. Front looked to be open diff so you really can't do much if you're spinning in the front like that. A light 4wd would have more than likely floated over the snow with a little bit of gas and control.

@@xtralnd Yeah, a 4x4 system with open diffs are more or less useless. An option to lockers would be Eaton TrueTrac diffs. They are torsen diffs sending more power to the wheel with grip instead of to the wheel without grip as open diffs do.

Correct it was a weight issue and a too heavy issue. What we didn’t make it to we honestly wouldn’t have felt comfortable with if we had made it there. We weigh nearly 9k and have a lot of weight up high. We have to play it safe because literally everything we own is in this vehicle and we would never risk it for a dumb video. Sorry. Not sorry
