UNDISCOVERED OREGON | We Overland Oregon's Backcountry

Join our Patreon! www.patreon.com/venture2roam
We set out on a Jeep overlanding expedition to create a new and undiscovered off-road overland route across Oregon from East to West, unlocking some of Oregon's most beautiful backcountry hidden gems that no one knows about. This is part 1 in the series where we discover the weather forecasts are calling for strange conditions the night before we leave with out convoy of four Jeep Wranglers and one Jeep Gladiator.
With the weather driving us off-course and putting us behind schedule, we had to find low ground to brace for a rain and thunder storm making it's way through Hells Canyon. We hunker down at camp and make plan for how to avoid a June snow storm that's forecasted to hit just was we are supposed to cross some of Oregon's tallest peaks.

[@RhinoOffroad]

Dude this is awesome!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks man!

[@vengeanceoverland]

This is hands down my favorite video from you to date! Living on the coast the Pacific Coast never disappoints. Holy green at Hells Canyon too, stunning 🤙🏻🇺🇸🏔️

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Brandon! Oregon has some extraordinary landscapes..can't wait to show them all in this series.

[@RevereOverland]

Love it! So when can we get the maps/route for it?

[@Venture2Roam]

I mean...you can get it anytime..but we won't publish publicly until we run it at least once more..so probably this Winter/Next Spring

[@TheMickJones]

It’s amazing to listen to the podcast, and then see it all come together in video a few days later. Thanks for taking us along, Will!

[@Venture2Roam]

I guess you know how it all ends lol. So cool to hear you're listening to the podcast!

[@frontierstateoverland3816]

Thanks for listening!! Much appreciated!!

[@812Taco]

Seeing a new video from Venture2roam always makes a monday better! Plus you did a good job of leaving us wanting more..lol 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so much! Can't wait to share the rest of the story..it get's really fun!

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Great video! Way leave it off on a cliffhanger, I’ll be back to watch the next one.

[@Venture2Roam]

Next one is coming very soon!

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

@@Venture2Roam sweet.😎🎬

[@adampolselli597]

Wow, what a fantastic adventure!!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you! Hope you come back for the rest of the series!

[@davidwelty9763]

Great editing skills. It’s very engaging. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so much! Next one will be out very soon.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Looks like it's going to be an epic trail. Nice work buddy!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you sir. Can't wait to see your WY vid(s)!

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@Venture2Roam Haha, yeah, about those... Gotta get started on that!

[@IDAHOverland]

Great video Will. Can't wait to try this route. Our group just did the Idaho BDR inspired by you and your video. It was so fantastic. Looking forward to more of your adventures...

[@Venture2Roam]

That's so cool to hear. I bet it was super green this with all of the spring rain/snow we had. So glad to hear your group had a good time. I think this new Oregon route will be pretty incredible as well.

[@GetOutGO]

Thanks Will, this is going to be another great series! Looks like a fun trip!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Christoff - I'm watching your series right now. Loving it.

[@SimplyMustGo]

Awesome video! I'm so excited to see the rest. Guess I need to get myself in gear and edit my adventure videos...

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Matt! And yes...yes you do..I want to see those vids..so go make them please!!

[@overland_dadsfl]

Once again I'm here at my lunch break watching the premier. My mind is traveling with you Will and for that I thanks you. Your editing and narrative are so good, I feel I'm watching a television show but way more entertaining.🤘Keep the videos coming. PD Are you planing on going to Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion next month?

[@Venture2Roam]

So glad you are enjoying the vids and thank you for super kind words! It feels really good to be working on a longer expedition type series again - it's what I love the most. No Jeep Invasion for me...I'm not doing many events this year...maybe the Teton Overland Show..but that's probably it.

[@SimplyMustGo]

We'll get together at Invasion and send Will videos of us having all the fun he's missing out on.

[@overland_dadsfl]

@@SimplyMustGo sure we sent some videos and he will be suffering 🤣

[@kernelsac]

Cmon Will, your leaving us hanging! Not used to this. I can't wait to see this whole trip! Much love from a fellow Boise-an. ❤️ Don't forget to find Hindman lake!!!!!(central idaho)🎉

[@Venture2Roam]

Hindman is on my list! I'm really enjoying making the series..the hooks at the end are some of my favorite things to play with...working on the next one now so no one stays hanging too long!!! Cheers to locals supporting locals!

[@dizi17]

I like these videos because it shows more or less an average joe overlander rather than the super sponsored one

[@Venture2Roam]

Glad to hear it!

[@user-tj3yi9zj4m]

OK best video so far (again) I really liked listening to the podcast then watching it. pretty sick. nice work Will!

[@Venture2Roam]

So cool to hear you listened to the podcast. I debated holding it back until after the vids..but sounds like releasing ahead of them was ok! Really appreciate your support!!

[@flyfisher530]

Just getting caught up on your Oregon series Will, such a cool adventure!!! Finnegan looking bad ass on the trails! 👍

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks so much Mike!!

[@IndependenceOverland]

This turned out awesome dude! 🙌

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks man..having a blast putting this one together.

[@WheretoNextOverland]

Great start to the series! The amount of time (and love) that went into creating this video is evident. I think Hell's Canyon has been bumped up to a "must do" on our list after watching this one!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks man. These longer trips are my favorite stories to edit...I love being able to develop the story over multiple episodes then combine into a full feature. Hells is incredible...one of my most favorite places. Hope you make it out there!

[@GreensTrails]

Great episode!! Looking forward to the future edits. Scenery looks absolutely incredible. Jealous of the long range trails you get in the US too! Lucky to get 6 miles in one go over here.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you!! We are truly blessed to have so much public land out here..it's a National Treasure.

[@TrailNewbie]

Everything about this series is going to be AWESOME!!! What a great edit, and what a great challenge you have ahead jn this trip!! Really looking forward to the next one!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Greg, really appreciate your encouragement and support man.

[@RVAmerica]

Oregon and the Northwest is on our bucket list! Looking forward to the series. Danny and Lynn

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks Danny and Lynn! I think this series will add some really cool areas in Oregon to your list!

[@CraigG21]

Really looking forward to this one!!

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you! Hope you stick around for the rest of the series, I think it's going to be a good one!

[@RaptorPackAdventures]

Another excellent video. Too funny, well not too funny about how we too had rain almost every day on our trip in June. Our channel is about our adventures with our son with Down Syndrome. He and I headed out on Father’s Day on our motorcycle for Wyoming. Out of 11 days, we rode and camped in the rain. We now hate rain 😆

[@Venture2Roam]

My buddy @allthingsoverlanding was out in Wyoming around that time too! Rain is ok...but like...for a day or two...11 days sounds pretty miserable..BUT sometimes that's what makes the trip fun oddly enough. Thanks for watching!!

[@jameshenderson9228]

I've been patently waiting for this.. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@Venture2Roam]

It’s been a while since I released a proper adventure series. Much more coming though. Feels so good to be working on adventure vids again!! Hope you stick around for the rest of the series!!

[@fscottgray9784]

LOve to watch your adventures and get a few new ideas.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you! I love that you watch too lol. Seriously, though it's really cool to hear folks get new ideas from these vids.

[@sonsoflibertyoverland]

This series is gonna be awesome! I love the teaser at the end.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so much! I love making those little teasers at the end of the episodes.

[@marceld6061]

I have watched a few of your videos in the past and have enjoyed them all but, this one made me hit the subscribe button! I live north of where you are travelling (and across a border) but Oregon is on my list of places to go. Can't wait to see the rest!

[@Venture2Roam]

YES! So glad you subscribed!!! I'm having a blast putting this series together..the trip was kind of all over the map..literally. Thank you for subscribing!

[@bigmanoncampin366]

@Venture2Roam of course!! My last adventure I had a bottle of Stagg for people to try. But I'm personally a hitter fan. Barrel proof and beyond. I'd bring a Larceny Barrel proof and Nulu.

[@livinthelife6056]

Man that looks like a great trip ! What are those black and orange chairs they look perfect for my set up.

[@Venture2Roam]

They are Cascadia tech chairs. Super comfy and they pack down pretty small (and are very light). Costco special baby....just wait for them to go on sale and you can get two for like $70.

[@TriStateOverland]

Hey Will - great video as always! What chairs are you sitting on at camp? Thanks! Steve

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you!! We have Cascadia Tech chairs. Got them at Costco on a sale. Love them. Very comfortable, very light.and they pack down small enough to fit 4 on the side of my Jeep against the back windows.

[@kevinhamer2230]

Great video! I've spent a lot of time in the Idaho and Montana mountains but have yet to venture into Oregon. This video just convinced me of what I'm missing out on. Btw, what's that rain jacket you're wearing about the 15 minute mark?

[@Venture2Roam]

Thank you so much! Oregon has a really diverse landscape. The jacket is a Patagonia Triolet. I’ve had it for years and love it. Very good in wet snow or rain.

[@jamescagle5208]

Your buddy Ryan needs to swing by a Walmart and spend $40 for a collapsible awning or two. They're Lifesavers when out with the trailer.

[@Venture2Roam]

I agree!!

Are you going to be doing anymore BDR'S ? I really loved the IBDR Vid you made last year. Im planning on doing that one next year...

@@Venture2Roam oh, no worries! beautiful story of adventure, love the kids in it!

[@erickaesman4001]

Having withdrawals since last camping video. Satisfied . Thank you. I know its dependent on the trail conditions but what is the average miles or time to you usually travel in between camp spots?

[@Venture2Roam]

I was having withdrawls too..I love the garage stuff..but nothing beats getting out on the trail and, for me, making an adventure video. It's hard to say miles between stops because not all miles travel the same...but I typically try to keep it under 200 miles and 6 hours of driving per day. This trip was waaaaaayyyy more than that...but the reason for that will become clear in the next episodes.

[@budnixon]

So we waiting for next episode?! 😮

When did you do this trip? I'm guessing June..

[@Venture2Roam]

3rd week of June

[@jollytime0811]

Was this route ever published?

[@Venture2Roam]

It’s being published via OnX soon!

[@pizaliasta8369]

I'm giving a thumbs up to help the algorithm and overall good video. From my humble perspective I would suggest less camera time on your faces. For example, when discussing weather, that could easily just be a voice over while you are showing more scenery. Also, less focus on you when driving, you can do all scenery while narrating. Try for an 80/10/10 ratio of 80% scenery, 10% maps and route showing, and only 10% focused on your faces, eating, etc. Again, overall a very nice video and thank you for the work.

[@Venture2Roam]

You have very specific numbers. Are you a video expert?

The music is cringe and the fake exaltation is annoying. Stop trying to sell a lifestyle, you people aren't influencers or "media personalities" and mingling that with overly dramatic camera work and lame canned music is just really the worst.

I hope you feel better soon. You can stop watching anytime.

[@jrobdickson8498]

What a bunch of unnecessary drama- seriously, why’d you spend all that money on those jeeps, when you could have done that ride in a minivan?

You should start a minivan Overlanding channel. 😂😂😂 That would be pretty entertaining I think.

[@jrobdickson8498]

@@Venture2Roam all you’re showing is just driving on gravel roads- you don’t need a bazillion-dollar rubicon to do that… but, ya, the scenery is great- I’ll add that ride to my minivan tour-

[@Venture2Roam]

@@jrobdickson8498Ya, it’s tricky because we’re making a new route that we want to accessible for lots of vehicle types. And honestly we didn’t show some of the stuff that would cause a minivan to turn around…and we were just breaking in the new Jeep..getting a feel for it. We’ve got plenty of vids coming that show it being used on much harder trails/obstacles..but that’s why I love Jeeps. They do the easy stuff and the hard stuff really well. Glad to hear you liked the scenery. If you are looking for super sketchy Jeep stuff, my buddy Shaun has a channel called @thestorytillnow. We are a channel with a broader mix of content..including easy trails and family adventures…with some hard stuff, but not like Shaun lol.
