SOLO OVERLANDING SOUTHERN IDAHO IN MY BRONCO BADLANDS

After 12 years of waiting and dreaming of the opportunity, I finally head to southern Idaho to explore the mountains in the area. I packed up the Bronco Badlands, and set off on the 500 mile journey just to the trailhead. This trip would take me and the Bronco nearly 10,000 feet of elevation and saw some of the most spectacular views I have seen and wildlife I hadn't seen in the wild either.

This video is a visual feast for anyone who craves the serenity of overlanding and the thrill of offroading.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Incredible compliment, thank you!

[@TheCountyNomad]

I’m late to the party, but I admire your ability to get off road alone and disconnect from everyday life. Truly, videos like this give me the courage to start traveling more even if it’s just me and setting up camp.

[@AndreiDante]

This video shows exactly why we need to disconnect from the concrete jungle. It is beautiful to know that you're so far away from everything with this outstanding view.. You're truly living some of us's dreams

[@dalekarraker6851]

I respect and admire your comments and stance about protecting the environment that we so cherish. Keep on Gate-keepin'! Keep up the great vids.

[@ljswenson5774]

Born & raised Idahoan native here. If you think that route was stunning I could tell you about one through Adams County that would have your jaw dropped open the whole time. I feel so blessed to live here. We have yet to run out of roads to explore. Well done on the journey you’ve shared with us!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Wow thank you so much! Always good to hear from a native of the area. I definitely want to go back to Idaho. I can totally see never running out of roads there. Seems endless

[@helenlss9395]

Sitting by the riverside, what a delightful experience! The beauty of nature is so soothing to behold; I hope nothing disrupts it. Preserving the environment is everyone's responsibility.💪💪💪💪💪

[@wolfh5252]

Amazing! What an experience for you and for us at home. Thanks for taking us along.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much! It was pretty incredible!

[@taylorasbell7074]

I was especially looking forward to this video. Great job! Its so amazing how much land is available to explore. When im in the mountains im reminded how small i am, when i watch your videos i get a hint of that same feeling. Awesome video

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I’m so glad you liked it and that I didn’t disappoint. I get the same feeling and that’s something I try to convey through the video. That is so awesome to hear that feedback! Thanks so much for sharing

[@mikemcmahon67]

Thank you for the inspiration to take the family out for an adventure in the wilds of southern Idaho!

[@SuperiorGeminis]

Great video, Idaho looks amazing I definitely need to check it out someday. Thanks for sharing your adventures 🤙🏼🏕️

[@juliangreen1392]

Hi from England, sorry I'm late to your channel. Making up for lost time, watch ing and catching up. Just beautiful country, wildlife. Keep exploring for us, on the other side of the world.

[@Bisonmaczr2]

As a Canadian who adventures all around Idaho, and after one short excursion and some hiking Summer 2022, I absolutely must return to this area. WoW. Thanks for this.

[@roamwithbrian]

I feel blessed having been raised in southeastern Idaho. I think Idaho has some of the best scenery in the country. Living in PA now I try to get back to Idaho as much as I can to visit family and just explore all over again. Thanks for the vid. It definitely brings back memories. If you want more epic views and exploration, head up into the Sawtooth mountains. You won't regret it.

[@robertlinva9503]

Great video, thanks! What a beautiful part of the country. You do a great job mixing narrative and video/music to show the grandeur of the area. I'm curious to see more of the way you pack and store all your gear.

[@paulchakola7372]

Dude, you are living the dream! I'm hooked on your content..the music, the vibe..the aesthetics..you're killing it! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much! Quite the compliment!

[@boskostoybox]

Excited to see your Idaho adventure.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Gonna be a good one!!

[@nomadic_hurd]

Great video man! Epic drone shots as usual. Idaho is definitely at the top of my list of places to explore

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! I I’m glad I have been able to experience it finally, but man I want to go back so bad!

[@mjms2b]

Love seeing people enjoy my state! Well done video. I know exactly where these spots are. Epic for sure.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

You are lucky to have such incredible and accessible land like this! What an incredible area

[@Beardinc]

Beautiful filmography. The audio is crisp and clean with the soundtrack really complimenting the drone shots. Really enjoyed watching on my new HUGE tv.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

[@SJ-EOR]

What a cool trip. I can’t wait to explore more of ID. I’m in E-OR and have been exploring here for several years. Cheers!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Dude you’re so close!! You gotta get over there! Thanks man, cheers!

[@BASSANGLER7MH]

First I just found your channel!!! Love you take your pups out man. I have a Boston and never seen him watch tv until I played your channel! Hope all is well for your pup. Now the reason I found you is I’m getting into overlanding/ glamping 😅. I have a Tundra with an Icon lift and rims and was eyeballing Mammoth. Well times are rough and may have to settle for a truck bed set up and this fridge would be perfect! Perfect size and efficiency bud🤙 I would love to try it out but budget is keeping me settling with conventional coolers. It’s a long shot but I would be blessed to obtain one. Keep the vids coming. Can’t wait to see more adventures you will share….bring your pups!🤙

[@californiasounddesign3921]

i see a new OFF THE GRIND video, i hit like, then i watch bc i already know its gonna be great

[@stevemarkperry]

Loved this mate. Those peaceful moments really put you there and some epic shots with the drone. Inspiring.

[@rickfree253]

Beautiful scenery and great video!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you!

[@clancep]

My new favorite channel. We just did the San Juan Mountains in Colorado and it was beautiful. Your adventure in Idaho looks amazing and so relaxing. Come visit in Arizona.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! Arizona is definitely on my list! Going to be a winter trip for sure though

[@erichughes9098]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful video. Looks like a neat area to visit. 😎👍

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Of course! It was an incredible trip. I absolutely loved it and ready to go back already

[@littlemulee]

👍 for preserving camping spots from people that trash our reputation as outdoors people. My pet peev is pay for location data but I now understand why (by donating to the firefighters) . Really impressed with your thoughtfulness mate 🇦🇺

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks man I really appreciate that. I know a lot of people were not happy about that, but I felt it was the right thing to do

[@larrybriggs2920]

I really like your videos. The way you get out and explore and mix in some gear talk as well. You doing a good job. By the way, your Son looks exactly like my nephew did when he was that young. 😊

[@DB_Roams]

Awesome video! Keep up the great work 🫡🏔️🤯

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! Will do!

[@AlinFlair]

Beautiful video ! Keep up the good work.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks!

[@hartpence7]

Quality content! 40 minutes flew by.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much! I was nervous about the length but glad it was good!

[@explore_off_road]

Ha ha! You said 'good morning' to the cow ... I do that all the time! Hee hee ... And "Gate Keep", we all do it for the exact reason you speak of

[@terra10nz]

This is oxygen... thank you!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

What a compliment! Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it!

[@iamninjak5250]

really really nice. Bravo.

[@GreensTrails]

I know I said this recently, but your cinematography gets better each vid. Well done. Great film of some solid exploration.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! It was an awesome trip with scenery that made my job easy!

[@SoloHiker1]

You are in a MOA, a Military Operation Area. These areas can be anywhere, usually around large tracks of state or federal preserve. You have Hill Air Force base and Mountain Home Air Force base nearby. These m o a's are actually sometimes over cities. The operating altitude is just much higher, many times you cannot notice them. In another life, I would control CAS in areas such as this. Great video, Mahalo for sharing.

[@javed0124]

Great video

[@baseafbronco]

Awesome video. Def a goal to outfit my bronco with a rooftop tent like that.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! Do it when you can for sure! Opens a whole new world

[@eddiehinson4575]

My friend Charlie is a native of Idaho, this place is not a secret, pretty busy when hunting season comes in, beautiful country but can get really windy, and I have been coming out to Idaho for 40 years and gone on many ventures with my friend

[@rumighazali8984]

enjoy the video scene by scene, thanks for sharing the video. greeting from indonesia

[@TrailNewbie]

What a great trip!! Jealous!!! That gas station coffee can really be good…. Sometimes! 🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻 great edit, and great … everything! 👊🏼😃

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

It can be good when it’s not burnt it turns out lol! Thanks man!

[@codyhackler3490]

Stumbled across some of your video's and im glad i did, we are in the same area man! If you ever want someone to go with im definitely down.

[@Revelation_Overland]

Great video. Just found your channel, liking the content. Subbed.

[@adamsx666x]

Thanks!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Wow thanks so much man!! This is the first super thanks I’ve ever received!

[@adamsx666x]

thank you I like watching stuff like this all the time

[@adamsx666x]

Please share location

[@edgaraszivatkauskas]

🤙nice video

[@Arrowoverland]

Beautiful camera work in a amazing location.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks! It’d be hard to capture bad footage with this scenery honestly

[@Crumb_Trails]

Yup! Another epic adventure and video. You never disappoint. At this time, I think you are the only content creator that I will click on a video over about 15 or 20 minutes. I just get lost in your cinematography and narrating. And as much as I love your Bronco, it's not about the Bronco. It's about your adventure

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I really appreciate that Man! I work hard on each video and am always trying to get better. So hopefully I’ll just keep making better and better stuff for you all!

[@hunterspipe4131]

Respect for putting up the pay wall. As an Idahoan I will be paying just to see the F-15's. Great video!

[@alextshibandaboulanger6527]

Vraiment 👌 la vidéo et tout le reste vraiment top très bonne continuation Hope you will very glad que tu as réalisé ton envie de 12 années stay safe for the next one thanks for respecting our home land 🙇🏾‍♂️ and reminding for respecting that Alex Boulanger

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Alex, thanks so much man! I am glad you enjoyed it

[@Venture2Roam]

Great vid. Wish I could have joined on you on this trip. Next time man.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Well get a trip in one of these days. Thanks man!

[@DavidMoise]

Haha reminds me of a video from @jonconti “The mountains are calling….no they are not, they are just fine”😅😅😅

[@timvictor5988]

Yup, That's epic alright. You do a great job blending the music into the video. Take care.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks so much! I think I’ve said this before but the music is the hardest part for me

[@Aduhwan]

Is there a playlist for the music in this video? The soundtrack for “ the playground”, the fording of the streams, abandoned cabin on the road side and the approach to the shelf road was quite nice. TIA.

[@toddhall3720]

Terra Firma, the more Firma, the less Terra :-) Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@matthewclevenger197]

I liked, and unliked the video probably 10 times making sure I gave this video a thumbs up. Holy Schmoly you captured a true gem on this trip! Thanks for sharing!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much Matt! I really appreciate that. This was a great trip and I really want to get back out there

[@peterprice8695]

you are the first person i've seen to cook peas. i love peas. i also like to mix my peas with all sorts of foods. excellent video

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Haha I love peas man!! I put them in a lot of stuff

[@WyattCresswell]

Those fighter jets are F-15E Strike Eagles stationed out of mountain home 🦅 💪

[@nikk2o27]

you totally remind me of tim tebow lol. Love the content bro. I'm planning a trip out to the badlands in the spring of 2024 with my best friend! keep up the good work!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Haha that’s actually not the first time I’ve heard that. But that’s sounds awesome man! Great times

[@mehdimogharari8815]

It was such an awesome, amazing, enjoyable adventure that made me rewind the video several times, not to mention I have it saved to watch again.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Wow thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much!

[@ZeusTheGod-bd3bz]

Nice build! In the process of building my 2020 Tacoma for some over landing but great video. 🤙🏼

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! The Tacoma is an excellent platform with endless choices. You’ll be stoked on it!

[@AdamHillikerLikesRobots]

Love this!! Stunning views and I appreciate the educational, constructive commentary. 2 pieces of feedback if you're interested. I find the more upbeat energetic music to be at odds with the vibe and beauty of the footage. I prefer your more mellow relaxing musical choices for what that's worth. Additionally, there are a couple shots where you're speaking to the camera discussing things in the background of the footage. Your lenses are excellent and fast with a narrow depth of field so when you are in focus the viewer cannot really discern any details of what's behind you. If you could try to remember to make a conscious refocus to the background so we can appreciate the view as well, and understand some of what you're describing that would be awesome. Thank you for bringing us along on these journeys.

[@lederppz6202]

Don’t forget the amount of condensation that propane gives when you try winter camping in that annex. It’s terrible for winter camping, gnna get everything wet essential. . Diesel heater is the way to go .

[@sierraslim]

Beautiful views thanks for sharing it. What area, valley and creek, we’re you at in the closing shots?

[@campervan888]

❤❤❤

[@jasondeemer2817]

Did you have a video of the build? Your Bronco looks like it does well off-road.

[@jh9701]

Great vid! That rod to tent is pretty heavy at 175 lbs. Do you notice the weight while driving?

[@boskostoybox]

Start showing off your patches and new ones you acquire on your trips

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Speaking of patches… I have new patches 😎 they’ll be on the website soon!

[@nickroorda6695]

Great video! I know of the area your in and have been wanting to explore it and your video will push me to head out that way. If your ever in idaho again and want an exploring buddy, hit me up!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Dude definitely check the area out! It’s so awesome! There’s an easy way to enter the area, but going over the pass and dropping in to the valley is for sure the way to go!

[@josephdianna8887]

What is the mesh ceiling storage bag you use? Been searching for one and that looks exactly like what I’m looking for!

[@Campingwiththar1]

Bro amazing vlog love from india 😍

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you!!

[@PrivetisAmeriki]

Hi. Thank you for good video. What is the navigation map do you use?

[@jeffpayne2675]

I love watching your adventures! How many miles are you up to on that beast?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I’m glad you enjoy it!! So I’ve had it for about 10 months now and I have 17.5k miles on it

[@ews1207]

Harikasın dostum böyle devam et 👍👊🗿

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

[@gz4405]

What roof rack are you using? Do you like it? Would you buy it again? But back to your video, its amazing I would go there in a heart beat. Keep it real and explore.

[@AC-vw5lb]

You my friend are very talented - A fellow photographer

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you for that. I really appreciate it!

[@van_mod1]

Beautiful vid. I’m sure someone has already asked…where exactly is this?

[@williamzachary3838]

Well done! Idaho is my stomping ground - there is no place like it. I noticed you’ve got a handy cargo net riding above your head in the Bronco. Can you direct me where to get one?

[@BuccaneerOverland]

Another great video! Do you carry bear spray with you? I’m here in Florida and I always have some protection on me when I’m camping.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! Yeah I definitely do and other protection. You never know out there
