What Overlanding is Really about - High Desert Overland Route ( Day 3)

• Drift - A Primal Outdo... -~-
Day 3 of my High Desert Overland route and I came across a deserted Ranch House. To me this is what Overlanding is really about exploring remote areas and finding awesome scenery and historical artifacts along the way.

I come from a multi generation ranching family, every time I see an abandoned ranch or farm I cannot help but think of the generations of family that was born there on that land, raised there and died there, all their hopes and dreams tied up in their land and how heart breaking it must have been to them to lose all that.

[@Letsgocamping143]

Wow what an isolated life out on that ranch. I loved seeing that beautiful old place. Thanks.

[@kevinheimbouch8061]

Pendelton should sponsor you. When I see you enjoy a glass, I remember that I need to get some more. Thanks for showing me beautiful places. Always look forward to your video.

[@RimfireAddicted70]

What a cool discovery to come across while driving! Exploring the history of old settlers and being able see what other's lived like so long ago sure would be a nice day. 21 people gave this a thumbs down because none of the buildings in the old town had AC LOL. Great video as always!

[@BrienWood7.3]

That photo of the ranch is one of my favorites!!! Love these older videos!!

[@justinaddis1505]

Great combination for me, over landing, trucks, bourbon, photography and just simple peace and tranquility. Big thumbs up

[@briank.7471]

It seems always a melancholy joy, to come across these time weathered remnants of other's hopes and dreams..."American Fossils".

[@freetasman2342]

That old buildings have a lot of character,. Thanks for sharing.

[@margaretcopeland1055]

What you're seeing is the "long view". There is a theory that people that live in cities or are only looking at their phones actually ruin their vision. I find it extremely relaxing to be able to look out and see the world for miles and miles.

[@hux8052]

Ahh, Got it, just saw your video of the trailer walk-around...awesome!

[@softroadingthewest]

Wow, what a stunning find. It's great you could decide on the fly to just hang there. You downplayed the photo but I thought it was superb. A pleasure as always.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Thank you, a little secret that one was shot in the morning and the light was much nicer😂

[@softroadingthewest]

@@PrimalOutdoors Haha...I won't tell anyone. 8^D

[@bigfatno]

That old homestead/ranch is beautiful, and you took some great photos of it. Thanks for sharing.

[@treborjm87]

I’ve always wondered how someone could dislike one of your videos. I’m fascinated by that old farmhouse! What an adventure! You have thousands living vicariously, through you! Thank you Jason!

[@SkylinersYeti]

We as so fortunate to live in Central Oregon. I just returned from a multi day trip to the Black Rock Mts in NW Nevada. From Bend it is a easy drive to Hart Mt NWR, then a short drive south to the Black Rock Mts in NW Nevada. I spent 4 days cruising so many miles of BLM lands. I never saw an other person the whole time. We traveled portions of the historic Applegate trail. We are in aw of the pioneers that traveled these trails. How many "Modern Americans" could complete such a treck? The drive home we stopped at Virgin Valley CG in Sheldon NWR. My wife loves the showers heated by the hot springs. What makes Central and South Eastern Oregon special are the wide open spaces and the lack of what I often see in the Cascades each summer. Let them enjoy the summer in the Cascades but winter here is great. Love your videos. Life is good,

[@TheDenisedrake]

Another amazing video. We especially loved the drone shot with no sound. It was like soaring in a hang-glider. Thanks Jason!

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Thanks Denise glad you and John enjoyed it😀

[@MrThuetson]

Love watching your videos and adventures from here in the uk. Would love to do some overland in the USA....maybe one day !!! Keep up the good work 🍻

[@wisconsintraveler9397]

A place like that looks amazing. No city lights to interfere with the night sky. If it was a clear night, there must have been a billion stars. Plus what a history find, old buildings like that and still look to be in decent shape for there age. Keep it up.

[@garypaulsen1350]

You have got to be kidding. Who in the world would not like and enjoy this entire setting. Being from Nebraska I can relate to your experience of the fact that total quiet has a sound. Our sand hills can give you the same experience. I can't explain it but it does exist. The music you choose really set the mood. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@raquelortega2383]

How could you not like that view...So peaceful!!

[@vanlifeish5465]

My one wish in life is camp and hang out with folks like you! Keep on truckin man love what you’re doing!

[@lindahoffman1864]

Great black and white of house and surrounding area. A true Jewel was located by you to share to viewers. Thank you

[@jkpinpdx]

NICE! I love my Biolite fire pit! Glad you got one! Low smoke, and no ground burn... good/smart choice! 👍🏽

[@jsking306]

This is one of your best videos. All of the ranch scenes, especially the first drone sequence, were beautiful. I will be watching this video over and over again. Thank you!

[@ORflycaster]

Great video. You capture exactly what overlanding should be about, and why I personally love exploring off the beaten path. The lower the people per acre ratio is, the happier I am, and discovering historical artifacts in the middle of a beautiful setting makes miles worth it. Keep up the great content. You deserve even more subscribers.

[@dedwin8930]

Beautiful photos!!!!!! Amazing old find!

[@JohnDoeSU]

Amazing to find such remains from the pioneers of your country.

[@goinghigh]

Another great video. Thank you. I’ve been through there on 395 many times and am looking forward going up there when I can spend some time there and spend some time off the highway. Definitely a very lonely area that many people can’t imagine.

[@cjoutdooradventures4896]

Amazing find!! Awesome to think back about what it would have been like to be out there in the 1880's. Just in awe at people who set out to find a place to live or even just head west with no guarantees.

[@bangochupchup]

Amazed the ranchhouse hasn't been vandalized or destroyed.

[@David-rx2to]

Side lesson learned from this video...when it's time to put a roof on your home...go with a metal roof...it will last over 100 years. Without that roof keeping most of the weather outside, that building would have collapsed decades ago.

[@GrafDevelopments]

@@David-rx2to I was thinking that myself. It actually looks like it could go another hundred years. There doesn't seem to be any rust at all.

[@castrojewelers7382]

Superbly done video sir! One of the finest I've seen produced by a single individual. Lovin' the vibe.

[@johnscherer376]

Outstanding Jason! I’m in heaven around the old ranch house. My kind of place to explore and photograph. Yes to the total quiet, the absence of noise. You hit a high mark in this one! Hope to find this place one day. Lucky you!!

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed John I bet you would love exploring it. Jason

[@joecafaro1683]

great video Jason glad you stuck with it after the camera incident, cheers

[@campinkook]

I always enjoy watching sunsets where the Belt of Venus is on display (6:35). Beautiful compositions! Pendleton is icing on the cake, but often the cake is fine unfrosted!!

[@medtech1a]

Great video, i truly wish i had a few weeks off work just to drive those routes and just camp out and fly my drones and do some photography with my dogs.

[@defdac]

That scene with the fire and farm in the background at 9:00 is so suggestive and is eye candy.

[@jimmattson1016]

That is amazing place!! I'm pretty sure that place was in a couple of westerns. Your pictures are incredible!! I'm so jealous!! One of my favorite videos!! Great stuff!! Very cool!! I wish I was there with you!! Your videos give me a great escape from work, wife, and my three daughters!! Thanks for all the very cool stuff you film and a places you go to and for sharing your adventures with us!!

[@ladyjaay6726]

Hi Jason. You should work for National Geographic. Your footage are superlative. Dont ever doubt that you give us the best views and short shots ever. You are fantastic Jason. I'm in awe of the beauty you shows us. Some of us will never see these beautiful places in a lifetime. Sooo thankful for your video photography skills. They are amazing. How captivating theses Beautiful spots are. I like your drone pics as well. You excell above them all. Stay amazing Jason!!👍😊

[@timweimar8768]

Nice Jason!! Its amazing to come across such history in the middle of nowhere, pretty cool!! Wish I could go back in time and see what everyday life was like on that ranch, thanks for sharing!! Oh, that was a very cool picture!!

[@ericschmidt3759]

Thank you for sharing your adventure. Not many people can see the beauty in the desert. Very Nice.

[@bruceforster3709]

Your Red Cattle Dog reminds me of my Isaac. Its been two years since I lost him, and it still hurts. I had him for only Six Weeks. CHERISH yours!

[@quicksilveradventures2030]

Got to visit this place over Memorial Day weekend, thanks to your video. There was already someone camped at the ranch, so we didn't stay there. Found a great spot just off the road heading west from there, about two and a half miles away with a 500 foot elevation gain, with a magnificent view of everything below us, including the ranch. We swung back through on our way out and explored for a short while, before heading for the blacktop and home. We had never heard of this place before, so thank you very much for sharing this.

[@peterparsonson7545]

That pic at 6:35 with the moon in upper right over the house was really cool! Would make a cool black and white pic.

[@mtnbound2764]

I've honestly been waiting for this video! "you hear that? that is the sound of Silence!"

[@bryanclark3739]

Mtnbound - I just hear the ringing in my ears.🤪

[@JESUSLOVESU2]

Beautiful sunrise shot and scenic views!!!! Loved it!!! ❤️👍

[@bobwalker8917]

I did. Enjoy this day with you. This. Isaac boondocking is all about.Good video, thanks....Bob

[@jimmyh1817]

Thank you! Another beautiful story, Jason!

[@mauricebattle978]

Thanks for the encouragement so I can get out there! Stay safe.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

You are welcome Maurice Jason

[@justmemissy2829]

How freaking awesome was that! Great shot! The stories that ol house could tell! Would love to explore that property!

[@PrimalOutdoors]

There is a complete walk through video on my Patreon ;) Jason

[@mdnghtsun3759]

Beautiful video....... and if I may say so, I personally think the photos should be on the cover of a magazine.... :)

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Haha, thank you Linda that is very kind. Jason

[@justmemissy2829]

I agree Linda!

[@edmondsonoffgridhomestead8932]

Like seeing the Ford back in action. The Teluride(?) was nice but not the same.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

The Tellluride was a great rig, but I understand folks affection for the old Ford. Jason

[@AmericanMan961]

Primal Outdoors - Camping and Photography we like the ford cause we relate to it, we all cant afford a brand new Telluride or whatnot its nice to see something old out there that we ourselves might have

[@AmericanMan961]

[@thejohnsonslife7626]

Just would like to thank you for uncovering the "rabbit hole" of overland camping. My wife and I or going to pick up a K5 Blazer for just that. We live in Coos Bay and have all this BLM and FS land in our backyard. Thanks again. Your doing amazing "work".

[@jcblackmon]

Your photos are amazing, your adventures are even better!!

[@mikepatton9537]

Wow what a nice video!! Great shots and compositions. You've created an amazing life for yourself and the dogs!

[@extremeskydiver1]

We love your videos and for us, living in British Columbia Canada, we don't have the opportunity to quickly get out to these areas and explore so with a wee bit of sleuthing your videos provide us with a valuable resource for future trips. Keep em coming Jason.

[@garymaston472]

Very beautiful country, I love and miss Oregon very much. Safe travels..

[@larryboothby3687]

You should try some Astro-photography. I did some basic research, and when I was camping in Valley of the Gods near Mexican Hat, I managed to get a really cool image of the Milky Way. The places you go in the high desert shouldn’t have any light pollution so they would be ideal.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Larry, its on my list I have done some before when I was shooting Nikon but haven't done much since I switched to Sony. I kept my Nikon 20mm 1.8 just for Astro and I just ordered an adapter so I can put it on my Sony. Jason

[@bryanclark3739]

Primal Outdoors - Camping and Photography - There is a store named “Cloud Break” outside of Seattle that can help you with Astro-photography.

[@justingarnick6021]

Amazing photo. Amazing mentality to have about traveling and experience

[@1990westfalia]

Jason, camping in the middle of the road is very unique. It’s not something you could do on, let’s say, the I-5! Comment. Thanks for posting as we all enjoy your videos and seeing your locations. We love dreaming with you. Our best. Skillet

[@DonTXPgr]

Love your Overland videos. Keep it up and cheers 🥃⛺️🔥 🥘👍🏼

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Thank you Donald I really enjoyed this trip and the Ranch house was a cool find

[@epiieq1]

Great video. That's what it's all about. That looks like an awesome spot not just for astro, but maybe for light painting the building at night.

[@MarcelDsL]

Mooi om te zien dat je zoveel fun hebt. Echt outdoor de juiste tools gebruiken geen haast en top voor je hondjes👍

[@MakinEndsMeet69]

My brother you never cease to amaze me with the views that you get I'm really loving that overhead view I'm watching right now wow I would really be living in that place it looked really cool anyway my brother God bless you and your hound dogs

[@michaelharris1455]

Ran out of Pendleton and beer, major overland failure.....lmao! Epic! Well mister, that was your only one, the rest was on point! Thank you for sharing.

[@joshua6200]

I love the more soothing intro music instead, but who am I to say.... Another great vid!

[@dedwin8930]

Wish i could go back in time and see ranch working!

[@carvo11]

Ur Videos, Editing and Ability to capture Sights and Sounds is AMAZING !! As Always, thanks of Sharing ... Stay Safe & God Bless !!

[@michaeldivirgilio504]

Good morning! I've been following you for at least a year now and I have to say, this has been one of my favorite videos from you. The content, little history, showing your passion of photography, etc.... My family does the weekend "glamping", that's where we are in our stage of life. Maybe one day we can experience the over landing. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next video.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

I am glad you are enjoying the channel. Doesn't matter how you camp whatever gets you and the family outdoors keep doing it 👍 Jason

[@johnhicks9656]

Jason. Your presentation, the quality and your comfort in front of the camera have really improved over the last few years.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Haha, I still hate being in front of the camera but I am glad you are seeing an improvement 😂

[@ta2drob32]

your videos are so beautiful and peaceful I really enjoy all the videos I've watched thank you for sharing what you do and showing the beautiful outdoors

[@petejoyce3572]

So awesome you’re out there. Spent a lot of time out at the Alvord growing up moving cattle. Grew up off hwy 20 between burns and vale. Love your videos and keep it up, so cool to see new perspective on places.

[@PrimalOutdoors]

That must have been an amazing life, beautiful country seen from the back of a horse. That would have livin in my mind. Jason

[@donwyates]

Great location. Middle of nowhere is my favorite place. It is interesting - especially as a photographer - to stumble upon remnants of the past.

[@donzimmer4616]

Great video. Some of the instrumental music sounds like some on the Into the Wild track. Nice!

[@CampingRuss]

Great 👍🏻 find and I totally agree on overland it’s those little gems that we find in life that makes it fun 🍺🍺🤠🔥🤠🔥campingruss out 😎

[@az_overland_adventures9555]

Great cinematography. Your videos are constantly evolving. Congrats!

[@rjpac]

Man, I wish I could be at that old ranch right now. Cold and snowy here in NE Ohio. Great job!

[@PrimalOutdoors]

I would like to be there myself it cold and raining where I am at now Jason

[@BradIXXI]

Who are the 12 ass-hats that clicked on the Thumbs Down? What are you watching for if you dislike this. Great video, great photos, great music, thank you so much for sharing your travels with us!!!

[@MagVair]

I think It would be cool to research places like that and tell their story. Like who was Shirk? What did he do? What happened to him? What happened to the ranch? Where's his family? Why is it a historical sight? That stuff has always interested me. When i was young we used to visit ghost towns and I was always curious about what happened to the people there and who they were. BEAUTIFUL scenery! Thanks for sharing it!☺️

[@GaryTischer]

Great find with the old homestead. Particularly enjoyed this video. G'day from Australia.

[@bradsunday]

Breathtaking.

[@jewman303]

Amazing video once again Jason.

[@fishdog61]

Thanks! I always enjoy watching your videos. I find some solitude in watching your videos. Safe travels 😎

[@PrimalOutdoors]

Glad your enjoying it 😊

[@fation.]

Oregon has such varied topography/climate... Over here (wisconsin) its just cold and cloudy ..or really cold (Arctic high pressure) and sunny...this time of year...summers are just as brutal (humid). You look to be a free man ..enjoy it!

[@frankaxiak1959]

Thanks for sharing Jason. I like the overlanding videos 👍

[@marktaniguchi7901]

Super excellent. Hope you cover more on the homestead. Very beautiful and tranquil.
