00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Welcome to Botches Off-Road. Join us as we talk about everything from gear reviews to trail stories, tent camping to rock landing, and all things to do at the outdoors.

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
We have a pretty special episode. We've got two other guests here today. We've got Mike, we have Shane.

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
How are we doing guys?

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Doing well. How are you?

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Doing good. We brought these guys on because we're going to do a little bit of a poker run decompress.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:48,000
It's been what, seven days since. So it'll be good to talk about what happened, the experiences everybody had, and these guys are part of our group too.

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:01:02,000
So it is only fair to have everybody's insight on this. So guest to start off, did anybody have any breaks later down the road here other than Mark?

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Other than me. I mean, Mark hasn't talked about his breaks yet.

9
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
No, I haven't yet.

10
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
I mean, now being on the Toyota side of the house, I'm on and healthy.

11
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Yes.

12
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Yeah. I think we have the whole group of Toyotas here. I think Mark, you ended up debuting your tire, right?

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Yes. That was the last obstacle. That was my fault. I should have aired back up from 10 PSI to at least 15.

14
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
But I was like, ah, we can do it. Make it for the rest of the day.

15
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
I blew out a driver's side shock. So that's fun.

16
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Oh, I actually, yeah. Yeah, that's.

17
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
That's not your problem.

18
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Yeah, it's not really your problem. It wasn't your car. Yeah, but I have to fix it.

19
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
He does have to fix it.

20
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Isn't your car stranded in like Cedar Springs with like a bad wheel bearing or something or two of them?

21
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
No, I made it home.

22
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
I gave it back to him. It's in front of the shop looking cute and broken.

23
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Yard ornament. It's the best job for it.

24
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
But I think I had a slight D bead.

25
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:14,000
You know, every time I went to work, I had to fill up to go to work. I have to fill up to go to lunch and have to fill up to get home.

26
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,000
And that was really annoying. I got a lot of compliments on my air compressor system in the parking lot of my job.

27
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
And you guys sell that here?

28
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Oh, that's pretty cool. Do you like go off road? I look at my truck and I go, nah, I just like to air up in parking lots and show off my shit.

29
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
I give a question. Do you actually use that for off roading? No.

30
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
It's just a really expensive lawn ornament.

31
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:53,000
To be fair, if we didn't have so many mall crawlers around, they wouldn't have to ask this stuff.

32
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
So much you can assume nowadays, man.

33
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:06,000
But so, you know, like I was telling Mark here when we were recording last night, I did a little bit of guy math, as we would call it.

34
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:14,000
And like, well, shit, I'm going to have to, you know, have somebody take my tire off and rebate it and anything.

35
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
So since it's already coming off, Joe's got this killer price on these wild pigs.

36
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I'm like, man, you know, if it's going to have to come off anyway, I might as well just throw new tires on it and just call it a day.

37
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
So, so somehow, somehow a $35 D.V.

38
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
That convinced my wife and just saying, Hey, you know, that's a really nice Christmas present.

39
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
And I know you haven't got me anything. And technically it's my money.

40
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And she's like, yeah, we can make it work. I'm like, sweet.

41
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:49,000
So, you know, $800 later, but I have five brand new wild pigs with like less than a couple of thousand miles on them.

42
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:59,000
And that was awesome, man, took it took it to never enough had him had them back up to the garage door to drop all the tires off because it wouldn't fit my FJ, of course.

43
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:07,000
And they put those on. And then of course, I'm right down like I told my boss I'd be there by 12.

44
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It's like 1145. And I'm like, yeah, your spare tire carrier ain't fitting these on here because your tire is so big, it's hitting the bumper.

45
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And I'm like, God, I'm like, dude, come on, dude, just get it on.

46
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000
And they're like, we can try a spacer. And I'm like, just do it. Just just get it done. Just do whatever you're going to do.

47
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
So they go hunting for spacers and they find like a Chevy like five log or six log spacer.

48
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Six put it on there. Yeah, six log. They put it on there. And they're like, yeah, this might work, but we're going to need bigger.

49
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000
They're like, hey, we're going to have to do like a two inch spacers that okay, I'm like, I don't care. Just get my fucking spare tire up there, please.

50
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I got to go to work. So they end up getting a two inch spacer and put my put my tire up there.

51
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And they're like, hey, just so you know, I definitely get like a relocation kit later. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

52
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,000
And hey, man, I've been running two inch spacers for the last two years. You're good to go.

53
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Yeah. I mean, it's just on my door. What am I worried about?

54
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Yeah, except I can wear it.

55
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
You're really good.

56
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Yeah, I could hear it the whole time.

57
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Every time I hit a bomb.

58
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I'm not used to these tires being so stiff. Like just they feel like everything's bumpier.

59
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
This is like a 30 psi and just ride around on them for a month.

60
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Yeah. Yeah, they're at 35 right now. And I put them on to 20 and I was like, ah, this rides a lot more like my work horses now like back back to those.

61
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:47,000
So so now that now that my repair, which wasn't even like an issue is all fixed and my my 1d beads fixed and nobody else had any issues, guess we'll we'll move on to the start of the day for the poker run.

62
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:59,000
I think we all met up and ever and except for I guess, Shane and everyone we met up at Alex's house. We met Mike and ever.

63
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Everybody aired down everybody stole one piece of my air down kit.

64
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000
I will definitely say not having my apex deflaters. I don't think I would ever do that again.

65
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I was so much I'm like, everyone's like, I have to I have to deflate us and then Alex has one mark has one and we're all just waiting for each one to get done.

66
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:35,000
It's like, man, this sucks. Oh, the deflaters are a lifesaver. I bought the quick releases for him. Pop them on walk away. Yeah, you have the same thing as I do now.

67
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Yeah, you can't beat them. Yeah, I like you can definitely beat them.

68
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
So well, you get one of those cracking kids or something.

69
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Apex has actual valve stem that has a little valve on it and you thread your your pressure gauge on you pull the stem and it takes me about 10 seconds to air down all four tires.

70
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Yeah, yeah, which you know what I don't need. But I think I think I like the quick releases a little bit more just I think preference.

71
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:17,000
I like to be able to just pop them on there and then throw them in the side of my truck and I don't know that I need anything crazy like that. I feel like I just air down way too much.

72
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
So you're like 10 seconds is a lot.

73
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:31,000
I'm already I'm already like walking over to Mike to talk to him before I'd like turned back around and my tires are flat.

74
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:43,000
So yeah, we did that and then of course, of course, we had some issue with coms so we had to share coms and then Shane was in the dark.

75
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
It wasn't even my thoughts on my kids.

76
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Which we kept talking about you're like hey make sure you don't slam on your brakes so Shane gets the picture like use your blankers.

77
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,000
But you know Alex still has to give me my coms back but it's kind of a hoarder.

78
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Oh, and Shane we we voted on the trip and decided that you can become a member of botches.

79
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Yeah, I'll get the detail and get it set up.

80
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Yeah, so apparently you talk to the group message.

81
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,000
I don't know man you talk to MST being a part of the botches is like it's like a death warrant or something.

82
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I came from Land Rover so I've always been.

83
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:38,000
So that was so we started on coms of course and Alex also didn't have navigation to we forgot his phone at home.

84
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Yeah, it was a guy was wrecked because he slept until eight which is when we were supposed to meet.

85
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
No, we're supposed to meet at 830 but I still had to do chores.

86
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:55,000
So I and my wife ended up having to improp to lead and which we did.

87
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
We did all right.

88
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:10,000
We direct drop the cords at what 1030 11 something like that or 10 o'clock right 10 o'clock and see and put them into her navigation locked them all in.

89
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
And then we kind of went backwards.

90
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
I think right we did.

91
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Yeah, we hit six first.

92
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Didn't we? Yeah, we did.

93
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And I think six was just the long coast basically like there's just a long drive.

94
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
There's nothing really special about it.

95
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000
If we did it from the other direction then there's a decent hill climb but we went down hill climb.

96
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Yeah, on the other side when we did that over the summer for third gen weekend the other side that will climb.

97
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
So knowing what we know now I guess.

98
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
It's a walk.

99
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Was it was it easier going the way that we did or would have been easier the other way.

100
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I'd say they're about the same either way.

101
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Right.

102
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,000
The hill climb is just the hill climb just fun.

103
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
It's just a neat hill climb.

104
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Right.

105
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Because it's just a nice.

106
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
It's just a nice gentle rocky hill climb.

107
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Nothing crazy.

108
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Yeah.

109
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
So then then we moved to that one and we found the cards.

110
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000
I honestly thought it was going to be a bigger flag or something but it was like a little electrical company's flag.

111
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
So I kind of jump right out at us.

112
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Derek's like.

113
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Derek's like we'll have nice big flags that you can easily see and there are these itty bitty little contractor flags.

114
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Yeah.

115
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
I like how he marked it. He's like they'll be blue or maybe they won't be maybe they'll be blue.

116
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Yeah.

117
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
I'm like what am I looking for.

118
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Yeah.

119
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
By the way we're on a logging road.

120
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Yeah exactly.

121
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
I was just about to say that too.

122
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000
We got orange logging flags on the left and right and we're like you see cars.

123
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
You see him.

124
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
No.

125
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000
I was thinking on the random pink and blue ribbons that have been strung out over multiple years.

126
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Exactly.

127
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Yep.

128
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,000
I'm thinking like hunting flags or what.

129
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:10,000
I was thinking he would use like rocks and valley flags or like dune flags you know that makes sense being an off road event.

130
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Maybe even an MST flag or something just.

131
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Right.

132
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
One of those out.

133
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Yeah.

134
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
So we did we did that simple trail there.

135
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:30,000
We and then we went to number five and that was a off camber hill climb and the way that that was described is that you'll go down the same way that you came up if you try to follow the trail west.

136
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
It's a dead sense.

137
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
We did five last.

138
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Oh you're right.

139
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
That was the bad one.

140
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Yeah.

141
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
The D.

142
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Yeah.

143
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Yeah.

144
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Yeah.

145
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Yeah.

146
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
That's.

147
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Yeah.

148
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
You guys are right.

149
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
After five trucks had already gone up it.

150
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Exactly.

151
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Yeah.

152
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
So we started with one after we hit six.

153
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
That's what it was.

154
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,000
And that was on supposedly a blue trail.

155
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000
That was called the Everett sunrise Lake Hill Climes and we did that one.

156
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
It was a small challenging hill climb.

157
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,000
We entered from the north and we were driving a beast I think.

158
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Yeah.

159
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
And that one we ended up.

160
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Yeah.

161
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
We ended up going up that one I guess backwards and I guess it wasn't really all that hard to get up it.

162
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:25,000
If you just missed the one rock that smacked my axel like the first time I tried it.

163
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,000
So that was like that one scared me and see and I was like it was a dead stop.

164
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Like we was just driving and then don't and everybody's head went forward and we're like oh there's something there.

165
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
We hit it.

166
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
So that was that was nice.

167
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000
We got up top of that and then right at the top of that freaking hill it already starts coming back down.

168
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,000
We we grabbed the flags or we grabbed the cards up there.

169
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:58,000
We met up at the bottom of the hill and then I think everybody made it up that one easily I think.

170
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,000
I don't think anybody's got a problem with that one.

171
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Yeah.

172
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Even the black truck walked up that one.

173
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Yeah.

174
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:16,000
And then we met up at the bottom and we were just kind of chit chat and talking about your trail so far and then we had a big ass Tahoe come through and that was like what it was.

175
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
How much lift with that on there six to eight.

176
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Six in the list and even.

177
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,000
The frame it's not that the frame was up with the body.

178
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Wasn't it.

179
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
The body wasn't even.

180
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Yeah.

181
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Yeah.

182
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:39,000
It was just that it was a Tahoe GMT 800 Tahoe on a 3500 frame that was shortened.

183
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Right.

184
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
There you go.

185
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Yeah.

186
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000
That was just a really cool build to we watched him go up that we had to sit there and watching.

187
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:55,000
I thought he was just so high that some of these steeper hill climbs are going to be kind of an issue just being so top you know top heavy.

188
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
But he walked right up to the bottom.

189
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000
What was the YouTube channel we should give him a shout out.

190
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Bro.

191
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Bro.

192
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Not built but.

193
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Yeah.

194
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
I'll have to look that up.

195
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
We'll link it.

196
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000
What is it.

197
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Yeah.

198
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Yeah.

199
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
Yeah.

200
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Yep.

201
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000
And we'll have to we'll have to link him in the in the comments here.

202
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Yeah.

203
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Yeah.

204
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
The comments like it's YouTube.

205
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Yes.

206
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000
But.

207
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And then we so after we did that one we hit down to number two and that was a kind of a taller hill climb.

208
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,000
We pulled into that and that had kind of like a little play area.

209
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Yeah.

210
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
There's a whole.

211
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Bunch of little stuff that we could have went and actually played in.

212
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
And I don't think we really ended up doing that.

213
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,000
We just kind of pulled in and started scouting out for the for the climb once the guys was at the one when they had the children of the corn.

214
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yeah.

215
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Yeah.

216
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Yeah.

217
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Yeah.

218
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:07,000
So when Mike and I we went up we went up the one hill we thought it might have been up of the one of the easier sides because no one Derrick you're kind of thinking it was going to be maybe on that one of the easier.

219
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Yeah.

220
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Yeah.

221
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
They kind of tease potentially making one of them poker runs.

222
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
That's why I thought on that.

223
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
On that side because they teased about it.

224
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Right.

225
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:26,000
So Mike and I went up that one and we're we're kind of looking around for a flag because obviously they're not super easy to find.

226
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000
So we're sitting there looking for a small pink or blue or yellow or orange flag with cards next to it.

227
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
And and then we look at the distance.

228
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Mike goes.

229
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Hey, do you see those kids?

230
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
And then they we get on the other side.

231
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Yeah.

232
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
And so it's just a couple of times when somebody's proud of the two kids.

233
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
If they're proud of me and my wife we're like what the fuck is he talking about?

234
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
I don't why it wasn't probably 60 70 yards out.

235
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:53,000
There's yeah it's like those like three or four kids just standing in a line staring at us by by like the lining of the woods.

236
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
And we're like are those the hikers that met us on the other side.

237
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Yeah.

238
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
But yeah, but you didn't see the parents before.

239
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,760
Division and we're like, yeah.

240
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,120
All right.

241
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,520
Well, we're not sticking around here.

242
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,880
This is it.

243
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,800
Yeah, this is it.

244
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,480
So we went down and then Mark, you could hear him.

245
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,880
All right, Lincoln's up here.

246
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,800
So we went and tried to get up that hill.

247
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:24,240
And I think I ended up putting it in low gear and then third.

248
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,920
That's what you guys were recommending.

249
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,040
Putting it in low gear third.

250
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,320
Went up that pretty easily, got up there.

251
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,800
And then I think we found the cars right off the bat up there.

252
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,440
And then I followed you up in four high and drive.

253
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,560
And then then Mike.

254
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,920
Mark.

255
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,160
Oh, yeah, then Mike.

256
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,480
And then Mark tried like 100 times.

257
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:50,920
Yeah.

258
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,360
And then I decided to air down to 10.

259
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Got up there with no issues at that time.

260
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,040
Yeah, we'll just get more out of that hill.

261
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,080
You Shane gave us some valley network.

262
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:02,840
I think you could have.

263
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,520
Yeah, I think she did.

264
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,760
If he aired down to like 15, I'd made it.

265
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,680
I know he was at 20 like I was.

266
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,680
Yeah, I was one of the PSI.

267
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,680
And oh, yeah, I would.

268
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:12,880
Yeah.

269
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,440
And I was at 15.

270
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,120
Yeah, you would have rolled right up it.

271
00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:17,000
Yeah.

272
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,280
I think I was at like, you know, my exact math.

273
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,560
I think it was like a 13 and a half, something like that.

274
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,360
Because I meant to hit 15, but I was too busy chit chatting

275
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:30,240
or waiting for another piece of air equipment

276
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,920
to complete my collection.

277
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,400
So I ended up being like 14 and a half on one, 13 and another.

278
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,920
So it just gave good traction to every other wheel

279
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,160
when A-track was engaging.

280
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,640
Yeah.

281
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,080
It's quite the hill climb.

282
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,000
The last little bit is the worst part

283
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,680
because you got the little zigzag and just loose sand.

284
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,760
It just is a lot of loose sand right at the top there.

285
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,880
Yeah, I did actually.

286
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,320
Yeah, I actually slowed down when I got up there.

287
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,440
I didn't actually make it all the way up clear.

288
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,920
Up or about Shane stopped.

289
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,000
I think I stopped a little before that,

290
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
backed it up and hit it again just from where I was up there

291
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:10,920
and got up the rest.

292
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,040
But I just didn't have enough.

293
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,520
Especially if you're open, open, open.

294
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,400
That would be terrible, open, open, open.

295
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,480
I'm close, close, close.

296
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,680
You have a front, rear, and center?

297
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,200
No, I thought you just had what you were talking about.

298
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,520
Oh, lockers.

299
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,440
Yeah.

300
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,840
No, I just have a rear.

301
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,600
I had my rear locker on.

302
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,240
Yeah, same.

303
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,920
I think yours and Mark's both.

304
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,480
I don't think you need a center locker

305
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,240
because I don't think you have a center diff.

306
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:42,960
I don't think so.

307
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,480
But the third gen forerunners, we

308
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,560
have a center diff and the front and rear.

309
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,120
Oh, I'm just rolling center.

310
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,880
Right, that's all that was on the lock truck, too.

311
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,320
The silver truck is locked in the center

312
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,360
and then has a rear locker.

313
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:03,200
Oh, right.

314
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,800
So did we hit lunch after that one or was it after number three?

315
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,400
We hit lunch at number three.

316
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,000
You meet at three.

317
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,640
You meet at three, Gavin.

318
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,200
Yeah, so Mark and I did three, which was like a little woodsy

319
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,240
loop mud.

320
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,560
There's lots of mud.

321
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,360
Lots of mud.

322
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:28,440
We definitely did some jumping and skipping around

323
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,400
getting through that.

324
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,840
And it was pretty rough.

325
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,600
Sienna Bumpter had a shit ton of times.

326
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,360
Came out of there quite concussed.

327
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:43,080
My son, thankfully, was somewhat secured.

328
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,400
He was holding on to the car seat for dear life.

329
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,400
And now we made it out of that pretty good.

330
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,320
It was just that one little loop going around the corner.

331
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,840
That was pretty much the one issue.

332
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,720
That one's fun.

333
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,520
That whole loop is fun.

334
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,040
It was cool.

335
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,280
It was cool.

336
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,640
You could definitely feel like the ice, the large chunks

337
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,440
of ice in there as you were going through it.

338
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,760
But yeah, we made it through that one.

339
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,400
That was pretty cool.

340
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,280
And then we ended up stopping to get lunch.

341
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,000
And what did everyone eat?

342
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,040
I know what three of you ate because you ate what I ate.

343
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:18,920
Mike, what did you eat?

344
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,000
Did you have uncrustables or something?

345
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,560
No, we had frozen pizza from the night before.

346
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,560
Yeah.

347
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,400
Yeah, actually.

348
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,560
We ate easy with it.

349
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,720
I was going to bring steaks and Lisa was like, no,

350
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,320
don't waste your time cooking steaks.

351
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,360
We won't have that kind of time.

352
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:33,960
Had I known we had that kind of time,

353
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,520
I would have definitely brought steaks.

354
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,520
Me too.

355
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,720
I knew we had 45 minutes.

356
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,800
I didn't bother bringing the cooking set up.

357
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,760
I just threw lunchables for the kids.

358
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,760
Yeah.

359
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,160
We brought lunchables for the kids

360
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,560
and we had the frozen pizza.

361
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,360
So when I was cooking up hot dogs, Mike walked up to me.

362
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:52,920
He's like, please tell me you're not cooking up steaks.

363
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,520
And I looked at it and I'm like, no.

364
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,760
But in my head, I was like, we were going to too.

365
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,240
We were going to.

366
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,560
And then by the time I got done cooking all the hot dogs,

367
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,560
I was like, we could have cooked up a couple of steaks

368
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,680
in that same time.

369
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,120
What am I doing with my life?

370
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,840
So he got me like, I told C and I said, from now on,

371
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,520
if we ever go anywhere, we're just cooking steaks, not hot dogs.

372
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,720
It's all red meat.

373
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,360
It's all red meat.

374
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:18,640
Yeah, mostly.

375
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,920
And we had the Kogles, Jalapeno, Cheddar hot dogs.

376
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,000
And then C and I have like chili cheese brats.

377
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,760
And man, I tell you, I think, God,

378
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,200
we didn't have any kind of issues on the trail.

379
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,280
But at home.

380
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,000
Yeah, those hot dogs are one of those hot dogs

381
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
that you eat at home or at like a barbecue with a toilet.

382
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,400
Like, I got.

383
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,480
Dude, what's your need?

384
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,520
I got home and it was like, it was explosion, man.

385
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,920
It was bad.

386
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,000
But it was kind of worth it.

387
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,480
They were delicious hot dogs.

388
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:53,960
That's just kind of.

389
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,520
They were delicious.

390
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,040
You end up paying later.

391
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,920
So we we ended up doing the yeah, we did three.

392
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,960
We had the the carbs are pretty much right at the beginning

393
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,460
anyway.

394
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:07,240
So I don't think we.

395
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,280
Oh, wait, was that the one that we're right at the beginning?

396
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,280
So we didn't have to do it.

397
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:10,960
But we did anyway.

398
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:11,720
Yeah.

399
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,240
Yeah.

400
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,520
But then we so then we kind of chit-chatted for a little bit

401
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,280
because from experience Alex's experience and everybody else's

402
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:24,160
that's done it before the path from three to poker run number

403
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,560
four was pretty rough.

404
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,400
Lots of mud, lots of lots of deep holes.

405
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,080
Pretty true.

406
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,920
It was dry.

407
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,680
I did the best trail on the loop.

408
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,880
Yeah.

409
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,160
Yeah.

410
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,120
So, you know, we I really was I really wanted, you know,

411
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:42,720
to our group to hit all five.

412
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,000
I just I don't know.

413
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,120
I was just kind of pushing for it and I was still kind of having a blast.

414
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:52,480
So we ended up we ended up, you know, making that making that run from three

415
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,680
to four and God did we find some stuff?

416
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,840
But we most of it was passable.

417
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,960
You know, between bypasses and stuff like that.

418
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,360
I did.

419
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:04,160
Yeah.

420
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,320
I did sink my truck into a hole and have to have Mark back me out of that one

421
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,520
pretty quick.

422
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,760
Yeah.

423
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,200
But as you know, I was kind of the tester to so if I could make it just about

424
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,520
anybody else could that, you know, with my stock tires and everything pretty much.

425
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,320
So yeah, I pretty much drove into that hole and I just felt that same

426
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,800
thud like I hit something and everything stopped.

427
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,360
And I'm like, yep, not even going to try to climb up that one.

428
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:30,960
So everybody in the car just shifted forward.

429
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:31,880
Yep.

430
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,080
They looked at me.

431
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,640
I rolled the window down and I heard blub blub blub blub blub blub blub blub blub blub

432
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,200
and I got right on there and I go, yep, Mark, pull me out, buddy.

433
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,480
So it was pretty easy for Mark to pull me out.

434
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,600
I we didn't even like hook up properly.

435
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,160
Just kidding.

436
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,800
No, we did.

437
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,160
We totally did.

438
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,760
But did we did we have a winch with us at all?

439
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,240
Mike, do you have a winch?

440
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:56,960
Yeah, I've got one.

441
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,960
I was like, Mike, I had a winch.

442
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,760
So we did have a winch if we needed it.

443
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,640
Sounds like not full poverty crew.

444
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,160
Yeah.

445
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,160
Yeah.

446
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,480
Yeah, we have bougie micro less years, bougie, Michael.

447
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,000
This isn't a warrant or anything like that.

448
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,360
All right.

449
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:15,520
It was like the Amazon special, but I'll tell you what, it's work every

450
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,040
single time I've needed it to.

451
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,680
So all you need exactly.

452
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,720
That's all I mean.

453
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,800
I run an Expo.

454
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,600
So I get it.

455
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,080
I think it paid like 300 bucks, but it always works.

456
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,960
That's what I'm going to run to when I get mine.

457
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Yeah.

458
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,360
Granted, I've got a $200 end link on it, but, you know,

459
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:35,800
I've got the same end link.

460
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:41,160
So except my, the rubber on my end link keeps falling off.

461
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,160
And now I've only got two pads instead of four.

462
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,160
Yeah.

463
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,800
Well, see, that was kind of one of those instances where as you were saying,

464
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,040
you were doing the guy math, because that's what happened to mine.

465
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,320
I pushed it into a rocket.

466
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,680
He's last August.

467
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,120
I'm like, man, now that that rubber fell, I'm going to figure out something.

468
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:06,680
That's where I found that cover for the rope.

469
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,520
The rope.

470
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,160
So yeah, that's sick.

471
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,360
Mm hmm.

472
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:14,200
Yeah, I think I'm going to end up doing it in ultra hook soon, though.

473
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,640
You know, we'll have to we'll have to show some pictures in the show notes or

474
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:24,000
something or maybe our chapter art just so people know.

475
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,640
Oh, yeah.

476
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

477
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,600
So he did.

478
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,680
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

479
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,480
We did we did that one.

480
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,360
We went to number was it we're at four now.

481
00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:38,520
Yes.

482
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,360
Yep.

483
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:41,400
And that was a long water crossing.

484
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,960
Derek's description with this one was use extreme caution in the area between

485
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,960
three and four when going through the puddles, stick test, multiple parts of

486
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,600
each mud hole as some mud holes have deeper parts, depending on where you

487
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,880
drive through them.

488
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,400
So we definitely had stick testers out there.

489
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:03,520
I had Sienna with our with our Toyota takeover Silver Lake dunes flag and she

490
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,160
was just swimming swimming swimming.

491
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,560
I had that on video.

492
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,840
That was, you know, I would have loved it that moment.

493
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,560
I knew the rest of the ride, the rest of the ride would have been just hell, you

494
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,920
know, so and she would never stick test for me again.

495
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,200
So I was so glad that I like having her as a stick tester.

496
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,080
I didn't have to get out as much.

497
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,640
So that was really good.

498
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,520
And we honestly, a lot of those holes that we hit weren't bad.

499
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,360
They weren't as bad as we thought they were going to be.

500
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:39,000
No, because the sign isn't there for a vagina trail.

501
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,720
The giant.

502
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Yeah.

503
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,760
But my alternator from this summer can confirm that if you go center on that

504
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,280
pit, yeah, yeah, for sure.

505
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:54,000
We're straddling and we did that trail and we we bypassed through that one, right?

506
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,920
Yeah, we didn't do the main water.

507
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,080
We didn't do the main water crossing because last time we were there, I got

508
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,280
stuck or like, yeah, no, we're good this time around.

509
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:04,440
Kind of find out.

510
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,160
Some of the videos that guys posted and didn't look that bad.

511
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:10,440
No, it didn't.

512
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,440
That hurt me a little bit because I was like, that was the perfect, the perfect

513
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,800
chance for us to get some cool water cross videos.

514
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,520
Like I told you, this time around, it was way drier down there than it was.

515
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,040
You did.

516
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,120
Yeah.

517
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:23,680
Yeah.

518
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,840
I think it was a lot like me.

519
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,720
Alex was the first time we were out there where I made back in March.

520
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,400
No issues.

521
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:29,800
Yep.

522
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:30,320
Yeah.

523
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,120
I'd like to hit it in mid to late summer again.

524
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:35,960
Maybe when it's drier, just to see what everything was like.

525
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,160
Oh, it doesn't get dry.

526
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,760
It doesn't get drier than that.

527
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,400
I don't I mean, I like dried up.

528
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,040
I mean, you got to think we went through in August and it was a swamp.

529
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:49,920
Yeah.

530
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,000
Well, maybe not the nevermind.

531
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:52,480
Yeah.

532
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,480
I don't, I don't.

533
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,600
I don't want to go over to get Toyota reliability first wheeling trip out.

534
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,080
And I just closed my.

535
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:00,520
Close up.

536
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,240
Yeah.

537
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,760
Toyota reliability extends up until the alternator and then that's where it stops.

538
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,600
I still remember.

539
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,160
I still remember our first trip.

540
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:19,280
We went on our first trip and it was, it was really wet, like insanely wet.

541
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,840
I think it rained for three days straight.

542
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,520
And I remember like the first day Derek's like, yeah, anybody with Toyota,

543
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,800
you should probably keep your truck running for, you know, half hour or two

544
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,480
just to dry out that alternator.

545
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,160
And I'm like, oh, yeah.

546
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,320
Yeah.

547
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:32,920
Here we go.

548
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Yeah.

549
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:35,680
That was the first thing I bought.

550
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,280
I got bagged, jumped on a rock auto.

551
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,760
I'm like buying an extra alternator.

552
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:40,520
Yeah.

553
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,200
Yeah.

554
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:43,880
Nope.

555
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,560
That's something that I'm going to have to start carrying around with me is just

556
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,600
a spare alternator.

557
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,800
I just know that one of these times one of us is going to lose one.

558
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:52,200
So.

559
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,080
Well, and even if you don't get a premium one, it's just something to live home with.

560
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:56,560
Yeah.

561
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,200
The very least.

562
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,000
Exactly.

563
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,880
So yeah, we got through, we just, I mean, we made it pretty well through three to four

564
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,600
kind of had us feeling a little bit better.

565
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,840
Like I said, we took all the bypasses that we could.

566
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,640
And then we got to number what, five?

567
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,800
And that was the final and last and.

568
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,600
And that one as we were going up to it, I don't really even know what I was thinking.

569
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,720
Going up to it.

570
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,720
There was, there was a couple of you guys like, no, probably not.

571
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,760
But I'm like, come on, it's right there.

572
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:28,960
I could see it like.

573
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,120
And so I knew, I knew that I was going to challenge myself a little bit with this

574
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,040
off camber stuff.

575
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,960
And I was like, I'm sure it's fine there.

576
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,520
But then we got into that rut area where it was just.

577
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,960
It was like, what do you get?

578
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:47,920
So you do, yeah, four foot rut, like, and I'm like, oh God, I, you know, you can hear

579
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,040
me, I have my video on this whole time I'm on the truck and you can hear me go.

580
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,240
Yeah, guys, I don't know about this one.

581
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,240
Stock wheels and tires, very little lift.

582
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:58,880
Yeah.

583
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,960
And so, you know, Alex is like, you need to play bars.

584
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,280
And yeah, exactly.

585
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Alex is like, you want me to come out there and like take a look.

586
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,040
I'm like, yeah, I just, I'm not going to have to go to the truck.

587
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,440
I'm like, yeah, I just, I'm not sure.

588
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,400
I'm going to need some actual expertise out here.

589
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,280
He came in.

590
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,040
He's like, I'm glad you did it.

591
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,320
I said, selfishly, I'm glad you did it.

592
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:28,720
Cause he's like, Hey, you mind if I drive your truck for that off camber section?

593
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,520
Like, yeah, sure.

594
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,080
Go for it.

595
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,080
Yeah.

596
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:37,680
No, I, I looked at it and honestly, I got to a point on there when I've

597
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:42,520
explained this to Alex and Mark to where I felt like for me backing up,

598
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,800
would have almost been more dangerous than it would have been just to try to push forward.

599
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,520
So, you'd have definitely done more damage.

600
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,000
I mean, I think you'd have done more damage for sure.

601
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,640
I didn't, I don't think that I had the experience.

602
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:03,040
I had the experience, I guess, to go up it, but to back down it and still hit the

603
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,240
right line, I think I would have ended up doing more damage.

604
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:13,040
So to me, the only way forward was forward and, um, and I majorly regret it.

605
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,200
I just wish I wouldn't went up it.

606
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,040
It was really cool.

607
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,000
It's really cool.

608
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,080
It was like really cool hindsight when I went and laid on the ground and was like,

609
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,560
okay, nothing is broken.

610
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,600
My wheels are still straight.

611
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,080
I don't have air hissing out of my tires that I know of.

612
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,720
And it's like, I, you know, I felt cool for a second.

613
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,280
Everybody's given me like, Hey, you know, congrats, you know, here's your kudos.

614
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,920
And I'm like, I never want to do that again.

615
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:39,560
Ever.

616
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,640
I was like, that's like, that's where the stress is just too much.

617
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,320
Like, like, because I'm looking at my wife, my wife's just like, ooh, you know,

618
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,080
she's clenching over there too.

619
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,680
There is a point where we're trying to straddle the rut and we just fall right

620
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:56,200
into it.

621
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,120
And I, and Mark knows what I mean.

622
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,560
Like you could reach out your window and just touch mud and grab a hand.

623
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Oh, it was deep.

624
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,880
Yeah.

625
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,560
All I heard was no, no, no from Alex.

626
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,080
Yeah.

627
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,080
I'm heading off.

628
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,080
I'm going to probably hurt this later.

629
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,760
I'm heading up to see what's going on.

630
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:12,960
Yeah.

631
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,600
I got, I got video of that too.

632
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,120
Hey, it's Alex goes left or driver, driver, driver, driver, driver.

633
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,800
And then just boom.

634
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,760
And I come, I go right into that four foot rut and see.

635
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,520
Cause you weren't turning it driver.

636
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,520
You had it straight.

637
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,040
I was.

638
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,360
It was not, it wasn't turning well, man.

639
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,800
It was, it was not doing what I asked it to do.

640
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,800
It was like, can I just go back?

641
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,680
I kept on like it was even Barry was like, bro, I think you bit off one.

642
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,480
You could chew.

643
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,480
I'm like, Hey, everybody, but we're in this together.

644
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,440
So we got, we ended up getting through it.

645
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:52,720
You know, there was a point where I thought, you know, from just from my driving

646
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,640
experience, I felt like we were on our side on the body panels.

647
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,520
It's what it felt like to me.

648
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,280
And Alex was like, you're good.

649
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,280
You're not tipped yet.

650
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,880
And I'm like, well, as the damage is done, I'm getting the fuck out of here.

651
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:10,040
So, you know, I, I, you know, slammed it reversed and just kind of slammed the

652
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,240
hill a couple of times open.

653
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,880
I could dig something up to at least get up it and then eventually got up it.

654
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,440
You know, check the whole side.

655
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,920
Everything was good so far.

656
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,680
And I'm like, okay, take a breath.

657
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,920
Let's get out of here and, and Mark's behind me.

658
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,160
I'm like, oh yeah, Mark's why would why, why, why?

659
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,840
And Mark comes right up it and I'm like, I see him doing real well.

660
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,680
I'm like, oh yeah, he's fucking, he's good.

661
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,920
He's just going to climb right up this.

662
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,440
I climb up most of it by myself.

663
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,680
I think I had to bump it one area, but that was about it.

664
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,320
Other than that, and then I stopped and was waiting to see how you were doing.

665
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:44,280
Yeah.

666
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,200
So I'm thinking I'm like, well, Mark's going to climb up and everybody else is

667
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,040
going to be able to climb up at due after this.

668
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,560
So, and then I watched the whole, yeah.

669
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,000
Then I watched Mark slide right into that same fucking rut and I'm like, ooh.

670
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,440
And that's just when he was done.

671
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,360
So we, uh, we heard something hiss and I heard a pop.

672
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:07,720
I heard a pop like, oh, please tell me just to break a CV axle.

673
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:13,400
So I thought it was either a CV or ball joint.

674
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,880
That's what I saw.

675
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,800
Definitely everyone was, everyone was feeling it.

676
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,800
I heard it.

677
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,800
I can tell you right now.

678
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,200
There was no way that I was driving that black truck up there.

679
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:31,000
No stock height still has a sway bars to no way and help.

680
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Nope.

681
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,600
So now Mark, uh, Mark D beat it pretty well.

682
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,400
Um, at that point we all knew that it was better to just pull them up.

683
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:46,440
So we had the, they hooked me up the strap up to me and I yanked a couple of times.

684
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,000
I was trying to be really gentle.

685
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,600
Cause I, the whole time and Alex was like, you got to really get on it.

686
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,600
And I'm like, I know, I know, I know, like I get it.

687
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,600
I'm like, but I, every time I, you know, slam on the gas, I see these videos of people

688
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,400
like having the straps snap through the, you know, the, the, the cats of the vehicles.

689
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,600
And so, so that was going through my head.

690
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,800
I'm like, I'm just trying not to give it too much beans.

691
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,800
And, uh,

692
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,000
Well, usually those people don't have it connected to a proper, uh,

693
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,200
tug point and they also will end the loop, the strap and then hook it back to the main

694
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,200
vehicle.

695
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,800
And both of those are a big no-no.

696
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,800
Yeah.

697
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,600
Looping the strap back to the vehicle is no different than putting two condoms on.

698
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,600
It's just, it's, it makes it worse and it's not as safe.

699
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,800
And at the end of the day, someone's getting fucked.

700
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,800
So unless you got a D ring at the end, right?

701
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,800
Yeah.

702
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,800
We call those Prince Albert's.

703
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:48,800
And, uh, but anyway, we got them, we got them up and, uh, and we used everything in my truck.

704
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,800
I had Jack out of my truck.

705
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,800
I had like this cheap ass two ton four jack.

706
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:54,800
We had that out.

707
00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:00,800
We had, uh, my traction boards out, air compressors out.

708
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,800
And I had a lot of, I had a lot of, I had a lot of, I had a lot of, I had a lot of,

709
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:11,800
I had, uh, my traction boards out, air compressors out.

710
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:17,800
My wife's digging my fender out from the mud with my gloves, which I come to find out today.

711
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,800
I went to go look for my gloves and I'm like, why am I, what, what is this?

712
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,800
I have a piece of red sticking out of mud and I go and knock them off and it's my gloves.

713
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,800
My winter gloves.

714
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,800
I'm like, I looked at my wife and I'm like, you son of a bitch.

715
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:37,800
I had to get your fender off or your, or those, you gotta make sure that everyone knows we didn't

716
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,800
use the traction boards as traction boards.

717
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,800
They were just a base for the jack for, for traction for the jack.

718
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,800
So it's still, it's still working.

719
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:48,800
He's got raw.

720
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,800
He was playing so.

721
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,800
So, so, so traction boards work everybody.

722
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,800
Um, they don't work in mud, obviously.

723
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,800
Sloppy, sloppy mud.

724
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,800
We all know that, but like, but for a couple of times that we, I have used them, uh, they,

725
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,800
they, for a jack bass.

726
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:09,800
Yup.

727
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,800
I think I've only ever used mine to level my truck when I'm getting ready to set up my

728
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,800
tent.

729
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,800
That's about it.

730
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,800
You know, it's one of those.

731
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,800
The most expensive tent levelers ever.

732
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:21,800
Yeah.

733
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:22,800
Right.

734
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:23,800
They're there though, if you need them.

735
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,800
So I feel like, I feel like.

736
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,800
You never need them.

737
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:28,800
Yeah.

738
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,800
See, you know, that's where you're wrong, buddy.

739
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,800
We used them.

740
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,800
That counts.

741
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,800
How long I forgot they were even there.

742
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,800
The one time I've tried to legitimately use them to traction boards.

743
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,800
All miserably during third.

744
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,800
Was that?

745
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,800
Yeah.

746
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,800
They just shot out behind the truck.

747
00:37:52,800 --> 00:38:00,800
And the other tire wasn't even contact slams, slams on the gas and shoot some extract out.

748
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,800
Why didn't they work?

749
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,800
Oh, you fucking shot him out like a hot wheels out of there.

750
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,800
He wasn't, he wasn't even slamming on the brakes.

751
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,800
He was just gently pushing them and it was just like behind him.

752
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,800
Nope.

753
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,800
I've, I like I said, I've seen them work in certain, certain occasions, certain, uh,

754
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,800
certain uses they have their own.

755
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:26,800
Um, I used them for my buddy when we were up on, uh, he had a stock traverse.

756
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,800
So I used it with him for one of the little places and he actually used it more like a bridge.

757
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,800
If anything, just so he didn't go super off camber and hit his bumper.

758
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:40,800
So I mean, they have the use of gear in there, but I feel like if you have to use max tracks,

759
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,800
you're not actually stuck.

760
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:44,800
I don't know.

761
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,800
You can always get out of a situation without max max tracks.

762
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,800
I think deep sand is the equalizer.

763
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,800
Yeah.

764
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,800
I would say, I would say deep sand.

765
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,800
I've seen a lot of deep sand, deep powdery snow.

766
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,800
Those are the kind of situations where I see those doing really well.

767
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,800
Like mud, they don't do it super well in mud.

768
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,800
A lot of, yeah.

769
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:06,800
A lot of those.

770
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,800
I used them on my Ford Maverick.

771
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:09,800
Yeah.

772
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,800
When I was in my lawn in the snow.

773
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:12,800
Yeah.

774
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:13,800
There you go.

775
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,800
That's embarrassing, isn't it?

776
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:21,800
Yeah, I've seen a lot of the Australian overlanders, they'll use max tracks to get like unstuck

777
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,800
out of deep sand and stuff, but they'll see a lot here, that's for sure.

778
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:31,800
But well, I run mud drains, so deep sand is like the last place I need to go.

779
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:32,800
Right.

780
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:33,800
Yeah.

781
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,800
The other thing is having the proper tires to get through a situation.

782
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:37,800
Yeah.

783
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,800
And at that time, I did not have the proper tires to get through the situation.

784
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:45,800
I probably would have went through it a lot easier if I had something with a lot more

785
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,800
like side tread, any kind of tread at all, comparatively.

786
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,800
Yeah.

787
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:58,800
Now that I like guy math my way into wild peaks, I have something that's going to get me through

788
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,800
pretty much anything I need to now.

789
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:07,800
So we did, we finally got everything all fixed up and Mark's truck.

790
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:13,800
We threw everything back in ours and we were cutting it real close to the four o'clock

791
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,800
off the road.

792
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:17,800
Time.

793
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,800
Time stamp, I think is what it was, or off the trail.

794
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,800
We're like an hour late.

795
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:28,800
Well, it was supposed to be four off the off the trails, five.

796
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,800
Yeah, it was supposed to mean it's a place of five.

797
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:36,800
So they were just wondering whether, no, they were just wondering where the fuck we were all at.

798
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:42,800
I think after Derek's second cigarette waiting to see how it turned out, he said, just bring

799
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,800
the cards back and meet us.

800
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,800
Yeah, right.

801
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:47,800
Yep.

802
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,800
So we, so we kind of got back on the trails.

803
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:57,800
We took some, oh, and by the way, we instead of going back down that hill on number five,

804
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:02,800
because that was the way we're supposed to go, Alex did some scouting and he found a little

805
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,800
bypass to get back down it without going down there.

806
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,800
And yeah, it wasn't as hard here.

807
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,800
Yeah, it wasn't as hard, but I tell you what, it was a lot better than going back down that fucking hill.

808
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,800
So, so yeah, we got back on the trails.

809
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,800
We kind of doubled back a little bit, I think back onto our original, I think it was number six trail.

810
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:27,800
And we got back back into the town.

811
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:33,800
We sat there at the bowling alley and pretty much as soon as we got there, we did the card thing.

812
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,800
They had no seats left.

813
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:42,800
I mean, we are going to see that's kind of when we saw how big that MST party was, it's like, holy shit, this is even all of them.

814
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:48,800
I'm sure some of them just went home and that place is packed with people.

815
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,800
And then we have like what 35 30 people there or something like that.

816
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,800
I mean, I would say trucks more than that people.

817
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,800
And we've been more of us trucks was what Derek said.

818
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,800
How many 25 plus.

819
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:03,800
Yeah.

820
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:04,800
Yeah.

821
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:17,800
So that was a really, really good turnout, honestly, to one of those events and, you know, the credit where credit's due to the staff, dude, they were scurrying around like answers only a couple of them.

822
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,800
The one woman had a shell shocked look on her face.

823
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:26,800
Yeah, she's like she's like she's walking in and she's like, she's like shaky.

824
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:33,800
She's like, I never want to do this again, just crawling up behind the car on the pool table shaken.

825
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,800
They had to find us a table.

826
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,800
Yeah.

827
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,800
Yeah, they literally have a table.

828
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,800
Six foot table.

829
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,800
Drew got up with his boys and left and he's like, you want our table or a capital take it.

830
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:46,800
Yeah, for real.

831
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,800
So we got there.

832
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,800
We chit-shatted for a little bit.

833
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:52,800
Derek did the few prizes.

834
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:59,800
I think, and this is where Derek was like, oh, yeah, okay, maybe we have some learning tips for next year.

835
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,800
Maybe not putting two full decks into each flag area.

836
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,800
Yeah, because again, they ended up coming with like, I think there was like six guys with royal flushes.

837
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,800
Yeah.

838
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,800
And I had the second highest hand.

839
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,800
So I'm like, yeah, you know, maybe I'll get second place in something.

840
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,800
Then he goes, how many you got royal flushes?

841
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,800
And then like half the room's like, yeah, me.

842
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,800
I'm like, dammit.

843
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,800
So did all of us at least make a hand?

844
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:26,800
Yeah.

845
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,800
Yeah, I don't think it would have been too hard.

846
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:29,800
I had five of a kind.

847
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,800
Yeah, I tried five of a kind.

848
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:32,800
I had five of a kind.

849
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:33,800
I had five of a kind.

850
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,800
Yeah, what did you have?

851
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:36,800
What did you have?

852
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,800
Five of a kind, what?

853
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,800
I had, I did nine's and 10's.

854
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,800
So Lisa had 10's and I had nine.

855
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,800
Damn, you guys were doubled up.

856
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,800
You were ready.

857
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:48,800
I had eight's.

858
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:49,800
Oh, okay.

859
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:50,800
I had eight's.

860
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:51,800
Okay.

861
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:52,800
I had five of the same suit.

862
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,800
I was trying to go with royal flush, but I was just the one card for that.

863
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:57,800
No.

864
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,800
Yeah, so I ended up having the second.

865
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:05,800
I think next poker run, just do one deck and have it shuffled and then just on our

866
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,800
system, take the top card and go, yeah.

867
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,800
I know, I know me and Alex talked about this and he said, when he's ran poker runs,

868
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,800
they had actually people at the checkpoints, but I don't think we're going to get this.

869
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:20,800
I mean, I don't, I mean, I don't, I don't, I think you could find five or six people

870
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,800
that would be willing to relax all day, chill out and just have a good time.

871
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:25,800
Shit.

872
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,800
I think admins.

873
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,800
I would go admins and mods of that group.

874
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,800
Yeah.

875
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:35,800
I'd prop up a diesel heater, set up a little shelter and just hang out and drink the beers.

876
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,800
Nal, drink the beers, winch people out.

877
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:43,800
Now that I'm a group expert, I would gladly sit at one of those spots.

878
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:44,800
There you go.

879
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,800
That was really cool.

880
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,800
The most important locks I had to take after this.

881
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:50,800
Oh yeah.

882
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,800
I'd go pick you an obstacle that I wanted and chill there for the rest of the day.

883
00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:01,800
I ended up, I ended up with a back pain so bad that I'm still have a tight spot in my

884
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:02,800
back.

885
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:03,800
Oh, I'm the one.

886
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,800
I spent three days when I couldn't turn my neck either direction.

887
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:08,800
Oh, geez.

888
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,800
Like it was all in that full body, trying to check the mirrors.

889
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,800
Yeah.

890
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,800
Yup.

891
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,800
I know that pain all too well.

892
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:20,800
Yeah, damn.

893
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,800
And I'll tell you, digging shavings out of a turkey barn when your back hurts.

894
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,800
Oh, hell no.

895
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:33,800
You're in like Batman one suit where he's like, yeah, body moving just a look.

896
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,800
I was ready to die, man.

897
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:36,800
That was awful.

898
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:37,800
Yeah.

899
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:38,800
It was a lot of fun though.

900
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:39,800
I tell you what.

901
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,800
I think that was one of Derek's coolest events that he's put out.

902
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,800
Definitely a really good start to this year.

903
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:53,800
I definitely look forward to what's to come on as far as the events and stuff coming from

904
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:54,800
MST.

905
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:55,800
I know.

906
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,800
I hope he does more of those gamified ones.

907
00:45:58,800 --> 00:45:59,800
That was really fun.

908
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:00,800
I know.

909
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:06,800
We want to do something around at some point later in the summer that's somewhat similar.

910
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,800
But we'll see how that goes just with scheduling and everything.

911
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:15,800
If we can actually do it, but it'd be a really cool to do something revolving around that.

912
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,800
Oh, yeah.

913
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,800
We were kind of looking at doing more of like a cryptid hunt.

914
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:25,800
So like a kind of like a search for the cryptids.

915
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,800
But kind of the same thing.

916
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,800
You're going to pick up certain each trail or each obstacle that you do.

917
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,800
You'd get one of the cryptids for and you're going to try to find all of them.

918
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:37,800
Sticker.

919
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:38,800
Yeah.

920
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,800
Like a sticker or something for it.

921
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,800
A two foot wood carving or something out of it.

922
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:44,800
Yeah.

923
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:49,800
We were thinking about painting in black and you know, you know, one of them should be

924
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,800
like a garden gnome.

925
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:52,800
Yeah.

926
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,800
Geocaching or.

927
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:55,800
Yeah.

928
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:56,800
Yeah.

929
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,800
That kind of stuff.

930
00:46:58,800 --> 00:46:59,800
Yeah.

931
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,800
So that we were thinking about doing something like that.

932
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,800
It'd be a lot of fun.

933
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,800
Actually stashing geocaches around Everett would be really fun.

934
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:07,800
Yeah.

935
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,800
Just in general.

936
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,800
There's a lot of those that they do throughout the country and they always look like they're

937
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:14,800
having a blast.

938
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,800
I'd done geocaching and I really enjoyed it.

939
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,800
It was more of a hiking thing, but it would be really cool to do an off road geocache

940
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,800
around Everett and just to post up the cords and do that.

941
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:31,800
When I worked at the factory, every time that we had to go count parts at one of the other

942
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,800
suppliers, we would stop at like every truck stop on the way back and do a geocache.

943
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:36,800
Yeah.

944
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,800
No, that would be fun.

945
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,800
That might be an idea that we should, we should think about doing some geocaches up there.

946
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,800
Everett's done a lot of diversity.

947
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:46,800
So for sure.

948
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:50,800
Now that we're reaching the end of the podcast, what's everyone's drink of choice tonight?

949
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,800
Oh, it was Roland Bourbon.

950
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:54,800
Bourbon?

951
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:59,800
I feel so stupid.

952
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,680
Tropicanor refreshers, man.

953
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,800
This is supposedly for my son and I got like three quarters of the way drank.

954
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:07,800
Bush latte.

955
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:08,800
Yeah.

956
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,800
We're going to be at work in about five hours.

957
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:12,800
Oh, God.

958
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:17,800
I've got only tourists from short brewing company.

959
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,800
Yeah, you fancy.

960
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,800
It's a really good hazy IPA.

961
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:28,800
So I'm almost into this whole concoction of stuff that my brother bought.

962
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,800
The hard mountain.

963
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:31,800
Hard mountain.

964
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:32,800
Yeah.

965
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,800
Is that any good?

966
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,800
It's okay.

967
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,800
It's not my preferred choice.

968
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,800
Especially the pineapple.

969
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,800
Especially the pineapple.

970
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:45,800
Dude, what were those?

971
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,800
What were those seltzer waters he bought that were just so bad?

972
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:50,800
Oh, but.

973
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,800
Ranch, ranch hand or whatever.

974
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,800
Yeah, ranch something.

975
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:54,800
Yeah.

976
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:55,800
Oh my God.

977
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,800
They're so gross.

978
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,800
He did it because some podcast that he follows was drinking them.

979
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:03,800
What is this?

980
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,800
Definitely a sponsored, sponsored drink there.

981
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:08,800
Dude, drink every one.

982
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:09,800
Ranch hands.

983
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:10,800
They're so good.

984
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:15,800
I've, I tried every single flavor that they had and every single one made me want to throw

985
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,800
up like they were so gross.

986
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,800
I'm not sure if it's because of the way they're doing it.

987
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,800
Nope. I'm good.

988
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,800
Well, you know, it was a, it was really great having you guys come in here and help us with

989
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:29,800
this.

990
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,800
Good kind of having a recap of all of our group.

991
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,800
I think after that we all hurried home.

992
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,800
We all wanted to get the hell out of there.

993
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,800
Shane and I ended up waiting a good hour for our pizza.

994
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:43,800
Yeah.

995
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:48,800
It was worth the wait, but the kids passing out in the backseat by time I was out of the

996
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:49,800
parking lot.

997
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:57,800
It was the way we stopped and got Wendy's in New Wago and I'll tell you that the 20,

998
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,800
no, the 10 minutes we waited for Wendy's was definitely worth the wait.

999
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:03,800
Yeah.

1000
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,800
No, Shane and I, Shane's kids are pretty much done with their beats.

1001
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:12,800
By the time we got ours and Jasper was just throwing a fucking fit because he was hungry.

1002
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,800
And then we get our pizza and they're like, careful.

1003
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:16,800
It's hot.

1004
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:17,800
And I'm like, perfect.

1005
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,800
I'm like, that's exactly what we need is a boiling hot pizza for my son.

1006
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,800
I'm like, what a way to end the night.

1007
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,800
And Shane looks at me and he goes, Hey man, you can have one of mine.

1008
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:28,800
I'm like, please.

1009
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,800
He's fucking killing me.

1010
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:31,800
Yep.

1011
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:37,800
So, so he gave me a piece of his and I'm like, the kid finally starts calming down a little

1012
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:38,800
bit.

1013
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,800
I'm like, I'm ready to get out of there.

1014
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,800
I thought, I thought it was hilarious.

1015
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,800
Jackson wanted to go home since we hit obstacle like three.

1016
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:48,800
Yeah.

1017
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,800
And then when we got home, he's like, no, I don't want to get out.

1018
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:53,800
Yeah.

1019
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,800
That's how they always do it.

1020
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,800
But yeah, we ended up, we ended up leaving and I went straight to that car wash that

1021
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:01,800
Derek was talking about.

1022
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:02,800
And that was a big boo boo.

1023
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,800
I should have just went before while the mud was still wet.

1024
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,800
All the mud was frozen on there.

1025
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,800
Thankfully, the wash had some warmer water.

1026
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:14,800
But we were going to do that and I ended up just going, I'm like, no, we're just going

1027
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:15,800
to head home.

1028
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,800
I figured I'll fight it the next day.

1029
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:18,800
I couldn't.

1030
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:19,800
I couldn't.

1031
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,800
I had a speed model at 35.

1032
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:22,800
Yeah.

1033
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:23,800
Too bad.

1034
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:24,800
Yeah.

1035
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:25,800
I had a still money.

1036
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:27,800
Yeah, I bet.

1037
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,800
I have not washed it.

1038
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:36,800
I washed my rims off because I got appointment for reseeing all my rims now, but I watched

1039
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,800
those, but I didn't wash the actual truck.

1040
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:39,800
So I got to know.

1041
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,800
We've got a car wash here that's unlimited for nine bucks.

1042
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:44,800
Yeah.

1043
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,800
That's it there for three hours if you want.

1044
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,800
So that would have been really good.

1045
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,800
The day or two after and just for an hour just to get that thing off.

1046
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:54,800
Yep.

1047
00:51:54,800 --> 00:52:01,800
I have a car wash that's always free because it's the tank sprayer at the farm and it

1048
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:02,800
works really nice.

1049
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:08,800
Until you stoke the understatement of your truck for three hours and it won't start.

1050
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,800
I've never done that.

1051
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:11,800
Yeah.

1052
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:12,800
Right.

1053
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:13,800
It started.

1054
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:14,800
I actually put it.

1055
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:19,040
I put a sprinkler under there one time and let it run for like 18 hours at the farm and

1056
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,800
it was beautiful underneath after it dried out and started.

1057
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:24,800
Yeah.

1058
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,800
It started right up.

1059
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:27,800
Yeah.

1060
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:32,800
Yeah, something's going on guys and start what I turned the key.

1061
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,800
That was a loose battery terminal.

1062
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,800
I figured it out.

1063
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,800
Either way.

1064
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,800
Potatoes, tomatoes, man.

1065
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:48,800
But hey, yeah, I think it is it's bedtime for everyone.

1066
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,800
So I appreciate you guys.

1067
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,800
Mike, Shane, for joining in.

1068
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,800
Thanks for the invite, man.

1069
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,800
It was great having you guys on the trail with us.

1070
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,800
We have Shane and we had a met in person before so it was really nice to meet you.

1071
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,800
Mike, it's been too long.

1072
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:05,800
I know.

1073
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,800
I know we got to get back out there.

1074
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:08,800
Yep.

1075
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,800
So but yeah, we appreciate you guys tuning in.

1076
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,800
Thanks for listening to Box's Offroad Podcast and we just have a good night.

1077
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:16,800
Thanks man.

1078
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:17,800
Later.

1079
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:18,800
Thanks y'all later.

1080
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:25,800
Thanks.
