Snow Overland trip in Washington turns into a scary moment.

We take a Christmas Day Overland trip in our #2ndgensequoia to Central Washington to visit a very special place called Frenchman Coulee. As we were headed to our spot, a very heavy snow storm rolled in and I was just so excited to get us to the spot. By being so focused on our destination I didn’t realize how scary the road down would be with snow and ice on the road and it almost turned our fun family overland trip into a deadly one.
Luckily we made it out with no damage, and a serious life lesson when it comes to Overlanding in the snow. 1. Don’t put yourself ON A HILL when it snows and 2. Bring better recovery gear. It took us 2 hours to move 1/4 mile downhill just because we were playing it safe.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Thank you so much for watching!

Badass video guys! 2nd gen Sequoia doesn’t get nearly the amount of love it deserves! I love mine! 💯🍻

[@CoolGuyClub]

They are biiigggg trail whales but they can do just about anything. Thank you so much for watching!

[@shinhochulp]

I’ve had Landcruisers, 4Runners, GX, Tacomas. 2nd Gen Sequoia is my all time favorite. GREAT vehicle.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Oddly enough I think we want to sell ours and get a Land Cruiser instead. Wild I know

[@shinhochulp]

@@CoolGuyClubIf I didn’t need the space, I might consider a 100 or 200 series as well. But I have 3 kids and a dog. 😂 Plus, the LC costs 3x as much and the back window doesn’t roll down 😁

[@TylerandHannah]

Great spot you found! ‘Will have to check that area out. We’re currently making our way around the snow in the PNW. 😊

[@CoolGuyClub]

It’s an amazing place to hang out if you’re in central Washington. It does get VERY crowded out there just a heads up.

[@nabsmartinez19]

Yo!!! I need more content! I love you videos.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Thank you so much for watching! We will make more for sure

[@jarrodrobertson7607]

Good teamwork and communication on the trail.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Thank you! Stressful off-roading is a fantastic marriage stress exercise lol

[@UnwindingRoads]

That'll get the blood pumping... Merry Christmas you two. Glad you're safe and had a wonderful trip with a great story

[@CoolGuyClub]

Thank you so much for watching dude. What a wild adventure it was.

[@Markie0284]

There were a couple of booty clench moments for me watching your descent! Glad you both and the pups are all safe after visiting a great came site.

[@CoolGuyClub]

We were definitely fully clenched. Thank you so much for watching our silly snow adventures.

[@drubilt]

So awesome bro, I gotta join sometime :)

[@CoolGuyClub]

You do. We do relaxed / easy trails compared to you.

[@Andoz777]

It's time to add a spiked rake to the checklist for snow and ice adventures.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Facts!

[@charlesserrano3966]

Great video. Keep the sequoia videos coming.

[@CoolGuyClub]

[@jago09]

[@speedacademydave]

How do I join the Cool Guy Club? I need to increase my coolness by at least 33.3%.

[@CoolGuyClub]

You’re in!

[@701overland]

when in doubt throttle out.

[@CoolGuyClub]

Ahaha I wish

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Glad you guys made it out! That looked so sketchy. Just a sheet of ice

[@CoolGuyClub]

It was definitely a little nerve-wracking. Slushy snow is NOT fun.

[@charlesserrano3966]

Would having chains helped? Or cat litter?

[@CoolGuyClub]

Chains / cables would have been excellent to cut through the ice.

[@BenNSyder]

as if the Pit bulls would poop in cat litter?
