This Was A Bad Idea | Brand new Jeep on Maiden Trail | NorthBound Expeditions

[@PetesJeepAdventures]

Those were definitely ATV trails. Adventure is always more exciting when faced with adversity. Nice video once again Virgil.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@PetesJeepAdventures agreed! Thank you! 😊

@@NorthBoundExpeditions That Turtle Dome trip you guys did. Those looked like ATV trails. You all made it.

[@duncanneish9038]

That looks like a fun trail. I hope you all had a great day!

[@duncanneish9038]

I will add... I have always been impressed by the friendliness I have experienced between the ATV and 4x4 drivers in that area. It is a ray of light in what can feel like a dark world at times. And it's in the moments when one of is us stuck somehow that we have the greatest opportunity to be this way. I am glad to see this working out!

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@duncanneish9038 yes agreed! Most interactions I’ve ever had with ATVs have been positive. These guys however were extra awesome.

[@Toonces66]

Don’t feel bad…I knew it was going to happen. If I didn’t want it to get scratched then I wouldn’t go off road. Actually glad I got it over with to be honest. I can’t wait for the winter fun!

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@Toonces66 exactly, great initiation to east coast trails lol. Looking forward to the next one!

[@derekhart944]

Happens to the best of us. That's what exploring all about. If you're going to scratch up your paint, white is the color to have, lol. Probably a good first trip. It let's you know what you can get into and if it's for you.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

Agreed, white is definitely great! And after this, nothing will shock him lol. Ripped the bandaid off immediately lol

[@debskeith]

It’s great that you show the challenging times as well as the idyllic ones, personally if that was my new Jeep it would put me off any more trails for life…..great video again though👍

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@debskeith thank you! Yes I think if that had been my brand new jeep I would think twice next time lol. But his ceramic coat really helped to protect his paint quite a bit. Turns out there’s barely any visible marks other than some pin stripes in the plastic fenders mostly.

It will buff out.. eventually!

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@Tap1106-b6q hahaha well this was just too much!!! I didn’t enjoy this! And it literally became impassible. While I don’t care about my paint anymore, that point passed years ago, I felt very bad for the JLs.

What about using the drone for recon purposes?

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@MrLuigimassicotti I’ve done this on occasion, but it’s very hard to tell with tree cover what the trail below looks like. I can see there is a trail or not. This is a mapped ATV trail that was going to reconnect to a dirt road.

HI VIRGIL, STEPHANIE, MARK 👋 I THINK IT'S A TEAM LEARNING , WORKING TOGETHER WITH COOL HEADS & BEING SAFE WORKING YOUR WAY OUT OF THERE SAFELY .

BE SAFE ☺️ 🙏HAVE FUN ☺️ 🙏ENJOYED ☺️ 🙏LEARNING EXPERIENCE BY WATCHING , WHEN TO SAY NO & CAREFULLY WORKING TOGETHER TO TURN AROUND WHEN ABLE CAREFULLY FOR YOU'LL & YOUR VEHICLE ( KNOW MATTER WHAT THEY'RE ) ☺️ 🙏GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES ☺️ 🙏 THANK YOU ☺️ 🙏

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@davidcolinstillman5585 definitely a good experience and excellent teamwork to get it done. We sure were lucky that the ATV crew not only was patient with us but also willing to help and equipped with a saw! Definitely an adventure.

[@outsidepnw5381]

The struggle is real. I guess we all know how the first scratches feel haha!

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@outsidepnw5381 😆 yes, definitely a real struggle and shared pain on this initiation run lol

[@scottymac5174]

Every branch scraping alongside it is dollars flying away.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

😆😆 true! Expensive trip lol

[@packie81]

Last time I was in that area I marked the bridge at the end of that trail as “too narrow.”

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@packie81 😲 the ATVs that came the opposite direction said there was no way we could pass. But we already knew that since I was wedged between the trees 😆😆

[@richardguse3410]

OUCH! Fourty years ago I had Land Rover that I would have done that with. Today's Jeeps are SO expensive! For the price of a Recon you'd hope a wrap was included to give some protection. Are limb riser cables that go from the front fender to the leading edge of the roof in the near future? Just very curious, not being critical.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@richardguse3410 I hear you!!! That would be amazing to have wraps come on these jeeps!! I used to have limb risers. Well I still have them just don’t run them anymore. They work ok for better visibility out the windshield but they don’t prevent any scratches. In this type of trail, they wouldn’t do anything. Some of my older videos (trail from hell for example) you can see how they work.

[@ScanMan1967]

Wow that was brutal! Never leave the chainsaw home, haha, great teamwork by all though. Good thing you turned around because that bridge you were heading to would have been impassible with your jeeps, I was just there on Sunday. What lake was the first campsite on at the beginning?

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

North of Saint Margaret’s Bay

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

Bennys Bad Lake. Yeah I’ll never leave without the chainsaw again lol.

[@useryggfdcc]

Those steel shackles are super dangerous. That high up in the air, it will fly right through that window. Use soft shackles!!!! It will save your life.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

@@useryggfdcc not with synthetic rope. It will just fall to the ground. Happened a couple times already.

[@useryggfdcc]

@NorthBoundExpeditions The rope will fall but the steel shackles..will fly. It all depends how the trees snap. Fallen trees best to use a chainsaw...I prefer the battery operated one....less noise too.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

Would have definitely used a chainsaw if we had brought one! Wasn’t planning on a trail like this at all lol. Just sorta happened.

[@useryggfdcc]

@@NorthBoundExpeditions I know. Buddy and me end up on an ATV trail in Ontario Canada, the Anson trail rated " Expert " for ATVs. My very first time offroad with a brand new Toyota Tacoma TRD. 40 km trail took us 16 hours to complete. Thankfully two jeeps with winches we met on the most difficult part...... Long story one jeep burned out it clutch and we had to tow it for hours. Lessons learned, get a winch, lots of recovery straps and rock sliders installed.

Yeah and I used to always have my chainsaw but this wasn’t supposed to be a trail like this at all lol. Should have stuck to the main roads as initially planned. But in the end, we still had a good time and sometimes when things don’t go as planned at all, makes for a great adventure.

[@chrissolomon8868]

@NorthBoundExpeditions awaiting new videos soon from you...

[@scottymac5174]

Personally, I could never buy one of these brand, new vehicles and 4 wheel it. $60K just to sit in the drivers seat. Warranties. Better to buy good, quality used.

[@NorthBoundExpeditions]

I agree the cost of new is crazy. I wrapped my new one when I got it in 2021 before taking it on trails. After that, it’s totally fine. After all, if I spend the money, it’s to get enjoyment and memories out of it. It’s a means to an end. A good used one however is absolutely a great option and makes it easier to take it on trails.
