Weekend with Stanley - Olympic Peninsula | Conquest Overland

A man, his dog ,good food, beautiful wilderness in a badassTacoma. Life don't get any better than that! Thanks for sharing brother

[@ConquestOverland]

Sincerely appreciate the support, thank you!

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

GOT IT ! THANK YOU FOR GETTING BACK TO ME 🙏 BE SAFE !

[@MountainRoots]

What a location! 🤩

[@ConquestOverland]

Always a favorite in the off-season!

[@michaelmodro4417]

Couple questions, where did you buy your LED lights? Also when you’re doing weekend trips how do you wash all your dishes. I assume being that you’re close to the river do you wash them there. But if you’re not near a water source do you bring enough water for drinking and cleaning.

[@teamlawton6964]

That's my favorite spot in the area. Each time I was out there I had the whole place to myself. I wish there were more hiking trails, but you can fish right from your camp spot so that's awesome.

[@ConquestOverland]

For sure, it’s absolutely amazing! Love visiting here in the off season. Just need to get a fishing pole for the next visit 😉👍

This is a positive comment for the KZbin algorithm.

He is my little adventure partner! Looking forward to getting out on more trips with him here soon! 😊

[@benlaws9172]

Hey there! Not sure if you read the comments on your old videos or not, but I shall comment even so. You have a great attitude, I would have been a little more... flippy outty with that tailgate lol! The man/ dog relationship touched home ( I have two, and they are like family). The way you speak I can tell you are a genuinely nice guy. The editing was amazing, don't think that camera shot from the bottom of the thermos or whatever went unnoticed as you filled it... very nice! The gear, the views, and everything was cool to look at. I'll be watching from here on out from the Midwest! -Ben

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you for the kind words and support Ben, sincerely means a lot! I love going on trips like these with the pup as it's our way to escape the hustle n bustle from everyday life and simply enjoy our beautiful scenery outdoors. Even campgrounds like this offer a lot of opportunity where you don't necessarily need to make every trip a grandiose escape haha. Awesome to hear our support is growing strong from the Midwest as I was born and raised in Wichita, KS so I know the area fairly well! Happy holidays and wishing you all the best in the new year!

[@carollyngillespie3860]

Camped beside a river flowing over the rocks. Bet it put you to sleep. And the fragrance of that place has to be fantastic.

[@ConquestOverland]

Absolutely!

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank very much for the kind words! Definitely make your trips happen whenever and however possible. Doesn't have to be a grand multi-continent trip, even a few hour drive from home makes all the difference. Cheers to your future endeavors and safe travels! 👍

[@ConquestOverland]

Thank you!! Gotta love “follow mode” on the drone, works like a charm 👍

[@sworks7124]

I hope you got bed stiffners on your truck since you are using the GFC camper. IF not you are warping the tailgate that can cause it to not close right. Congrats on the GFC. Great photography and filiming.

[@ConquestOverland]

Sure do, they’ve been on since day one 😉👍

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Awesome stuff man! Do you have bed stiffeners on? If not I could see the bed sides bowing slightly on causing the issue.

I would love to see a map at the end of how you got to where you set up camp. Great videos! I lived out on the Peninsula for several years and loved it!

bro I just caught onto your channel. great stuff. I've got family in and around Seattle. anyway this park u went to, where is it. I'd love to get up there and go camp with the family. I'm in California. down here we have to reserve camp sites 6months in advance. it's horrible, but it looks like up there u can just go, first come first serve, right? anyway keep the good stuff coming. have a good day dave

[@ConquestOverland]

Right! He just makes all the decisions 😆

[@juanmeyer3798]

His face... love it 🐕❤

[@MikeBabsBC]

Were you ever able to determine why the tailgate stuck?

[@sixstringtyler117]

More than likely you just need to get bed stiffeners to reinforce the tailgate portion of the bed. The weight of the camper can cause the bed to spread over time.

[@ConquestOverland]

Weird thing is I've had stiffeners on since day one of owning the truck... 🤔

[@dominica2765]

Really enjoying your content. I've just acquired a 2009 GX470 that is just itching to be transformed for overlanding. I'm going to the olympics for the first time this weekend. Would love some road or camp recommendations that would work for a stock GX?

[@ConquestOverland]

Congrats on the recent purchase, you're in a perfect time with starting on a clean slate for a vehicle build! Honestly anywhere along the Hood Canal is great or the endless river spots within the Olympic National Forest by Wynochee Lake. If you're looking for exact campsite coordinates, I offer those on my Patreon platform. 😉 👍

[@trueaficionado3159]

Hey, yes, love the vids as they opened up some possibilities for enjoying living in this area. So, this may have been asked by others elsewhere, but are there any clubs around here? I'd like to get into overlanding, but I don't do solo off-roading. I have a Jeep and I'm in Oly. Any advice would be awesome.

[@ConquestOverland]

There's plenty out there just have to do a little searching and attending! Check out Overland Bound, Facebook Groups (search vehicle specific, Offroad, and overland), Overland Rallies through the country, local meet ups, visiting overland specific shops within your area, etc.

Fantastic video! Can’t wait to travel to the NW one day. You my friend have THE BEST setup in all of KZbin! Congratulations on all the success and looks like you are a great dog dad too 🤙🏼 Oh and I know you are not too into fishing but that river looked amazing to fish in 😍

[@ConquestOverland]

Sincerely appreciate it, thank you! Work hard, play harder 😉 👍 Would love to get back into fishing, been far too many years since I have. This area is fantastic for it, see individuals fishing all the time when going out.

[@evanfuller3755]

@@ConquestOverland pretty sure that’s still off season for rivers around there, unless there is an exception. Rivers are fairly hard to catch the required size for trout and the limit is only 2. Lakes are easier. I live near you and you if you want to do some fishing hit me up.

[@davedempster3405]

Did you ever discover why your tailgate didn't want to open? Curious because I also have a Tacoma...

[@ConquestOverland]

Never did to be honest, it just started randomly working again and never had issues since... Maybe something got caught or just jammed up with the handle but even since I have posted this video way back when, all is in working order haha.

[@Mannix007]

Good stuff! Does Stanley ever get to be off leash? Seems a place like that would be ideal.

[@ConquestOverland]

He does when in a fully enclosed area otherwise, no. There are far too many uncontrollable variables for being off leash especially when out in the woods/trails.

What size your refrigerator ? And where to you put in

Dometic 35, and I ratchet strap it on top of my drawer system in the bed of the truck.

How do you dry out the tent after you get home? Tall enough garage to open it and air it out?

[@ConquestOverland]

Honestly it's all luck of the draw. I still work a full time job Mon-Fri so weekends are my only time out. So IF it's nice weather that following Monday, I try and open everything up and let it dry out. If not its a matter of planning trip around the weather or coordinating with a friend who has a carport or tall garage. I have found hair dryers to work well with expediting the drying process 😉 👍

Really any campground in the mountains will ba amazing. Just make a reservation and drive out to a campground and you're set. Most of the time you don't even need to bring food if you're by a town. If you want to do what he's doing, it'll require packing food and doing a but mire research on trails, weather, and forest rules/laws...but once you do one trip, the rest are easy!

Really depends on the light brightness setting you have, but I managed to get two days of 4-6 hours use without issue. Re-charging is fairly quick as well.

LED Lights (also see link in description): www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y2QW7F7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 As for dishes, I carry a 5 gallon water jerry. Enough for drinking and cleaning. I also use nature safe dish soap and proper dispose of any grey water. The only time I use direct water sources is to refill and water container and not for directly cleaning dishes in.
