Oregon Snow Wheeling Jeep Wrangler Deep Powder

Super weekend. It's going to be an awesome, awesome weekend. So we're heading up to stay a while. Look at the LR3 with the CVT coming up. Or coming down, I should say. So the last word we had was there's a big snowstorm that we just had with all the snow down at this level. So last night a buddy of mine, Karsten, went up. He had located a couple of stock rigs on two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. And I said, you know, this is a naive stupidness. No offense to the owners. But it's very, very naive and stupid to go into an unmaintained road in this winter conditions. I mean, just don't do it. Period. Don't even think about the fact that you might get through it. Just don't do it. You have to realize the simple fact that you're not prepared for it, so don't go into it. These are extreme conditions. So, in our case, we're heading up into these extreme conditions, but we are prepared for them. We're heading up to Alali for a stay for our anniversary. We'll just have some fun with the kids and my beautiful wife. Everybody was bragging, so I can brag, hey. Anyways, so that's the story. We're going to Alali. Celebrating the 15th anniversary with the kids. The snow is down. Last night a buddy of mine went up. He said that he had to pull out a couple of stock rigs because, by some naive belief, they thought that they would get through here and the guys would get stuck. So, we're up at the top. There's a few trails going up here, but I hope nothing is stupid. So, we're going to go drive down this way and check for anybody possibly stuck up here. Looks like somebody tried to turn around here. They didn't continue, hopefully. Yeah, there's plenty of nice beautiful white snow right here. Unending beauty. Unending beauty of winter. Mom, how are you? This is awesome. Thanks to this beautiful creation of 4WD and low PSI. This is awesome. There's like a wall of snow. And I don't think I'm going to be able to keep the momentum through there. So, it's like crazy snow right there. No, honey, not you. Crazy. And there is the wall. And now we're going to send a partizan in. We're sending a partizan to his wife so she can start recording. I'm going to break this wall. Anyway, my wife is going to record the walk break or trail break. Portland cement or the Oregon cement is actually quite fine today. We have the drier version of it. I don't know if you see it or not, but it's pretty crazy. Was it pretty crazy? Yes. Yeah? My wife had to walk it. And this is going to be causing some overheating issues. So, you need to really, really fast clean it, clean it, clean it. It's packed hard. I need to make myself like a grill guard. I'm not overheating yet. I'm watching the temperatures and being careful with it. I don't know. It's beautiful. So, I'm not a balls deep. I'm like my nipples deep. Nipple deep snow. Literally. Higher elevation, the drier it gets, the easier it starts to break it through. For those who are familiar with Oregon cement, they call it, right? Basically, when you take snow and it's so hard that you make snowballs real nice with it. But this stuff, as you see, it sticks, but at least it's still that dry consistency. So, the whole point is if you don't break trail in this kind of conditions of the snow and it settles in and gets more wet and gets a little more dry, it'll be impossible pretty much to break through, at least with the equipment that I have. So, I'm not saying that it's impossible completely. But anyways, all those who are smart-assing on how they know how to break trail, if you're commenting like, that's easy, I would love to see a link to a video of yours where you're breaking something similar to that. And we'll go from there. You know, nothing to brag about, but it is what it is. Let's keep pushing. Seems like the fans have cooled off. I cleaned out the grill. It's all stuffed with snow. Something like that. We're moving on. The snow is up to the boobs already. Not just the butt, but the boobs. But it's already dry, so it's starting to get easier. You see, the wall is no longer like that. It's such a big wall no more. The grill is clogged, the engine is starting to heat up, so we need to give it a little rest. Oh, the main jeeper. The most important jeeper. What do you say, son? Mom, what are you thinking? Crazy? Beautiful? Crazy beautiful. This video is brought to you by Nixon Overland Training and Consolidating. So hit me up. Right, son? Yeah. It's lying, it's not 35. It's colder than 35, so we're at 46 elevation. And let's try to break the trail. Insanity. Look at that, look at that, look at that. What? I'm excited. I'm not sure if it's blowing or not. But you can see right there. All those drifts. And then here. Those who know our line, this right here. This area in the winter is going to be flat. Right now there is an actual ledge, like a step right here. When the full winter arises and comes out and all the snow comes down. The snow gets so tall. Those trees right there, you can see them. They're probably at least 8 feet tall. You just drive over them. You don't even know they're there. So you end up taking the high road and coming down. You can almost touch the power lines with your roof. That's how much snow sometimes comes here. So our goal is to just keep going right there. Nobody wishes to join me and record all this beauty. So I gotta do it all myself. Look from inside. It's beautiful. Trying to stay high. Because I don't want tracks. I'm stuck. Not stuck. Lockers are not engaged. Lockers do help when you get stuck. And this is just a bit flat out here. Warm yet. Hold on. There's the gauge. I should stop. Well, it's pushing. Let's keep going then, I guess. Getting a little warm. Just a titsy titsy. To prevent overheating, you crank up your heater all the way as much as possible. You can look outside to see what's going on. Don't shut the engine off when it's cooling. Because you want to let it cool. Oh, there's a little ventilation right here. Yeah, it's getting some cool air, I guess. Look at the fan just sucking it up. Look at that. Look at all that snow flying on the radiator. Let's get the lights opened up. We still gotta push. And the snow that ends up stacking up front is still snowing. That's it. We've cleaned the grille. Let the engine cool down a little. And now we're pushing. We have just a bit left, I think. Not a whole lot, anyways. So our plan is to get to Olale today, hopefully. Way past everything else already. No sign of anybody. Hey, kiddo. How do you like it? Like it? Yeah? So we're almost there. Look at this. Beautiful snow coming down. Snowflakes starting to drop. It's getting harder and harder. And that's at least 3 feet right there. Wonderful. Today is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day. This is awesome. This is just delicious. If you like your favorite food, this is like 10 times the ecstasy of that delicious food. That's how it feels to me to be out in these conditions. No, I'm not insane. To take my family, my youngest two kids with me. My youngest is 6 months old, about. Actually, he's 6 months old, my bad. My older one is 5 years old. And I'm not insane to take them up here. I want them to enjoy this. Because guess what? I'm here and you're not. Ha-ha! That's the beautiful part. Because you're going to judge me all you want. Like, oh, this guy is stupid for taking his family. When they get stranded, da-da-da-da. And you're exactly right. Because you're going to come across a bunch of... I'm not going to say bad words. But I'm just going to say you're going to come across very uneducated people who get into these kind of conditions, or at least the start of them. They get into these conditions, and then they wake up, and they have 3 feet over their head, and they run out of fuel, and they have no chains, and they have no way of getting out, and there's no cell phone service. Right now we're 50 miles away from the nearest town. And this is the greatest part. There's no cell phone service here. There's no electricity. There's nothing. There's just you in the nature. I got tucked in. Woo! Look at that. So, friends, what I wanted to say. We're here. We've arrived. Just letting the Jeep take a little cool down. It's overworking itself. I could tell that it's just getting a little warm, and I'm running the heater all the way. The car is warming up. It's cooling down. That's it. Fans off. The fans are off. We can continue. Stay tuned. Greetings, friends. Hello, everybody. A little interview. What are we cooking over here? Hold on. That's right. That's a pizza right there. You make it at home, so it's all ready, the dough and everything. Actually, I'm sorry. I'm lying. You bring flour, pizza sauce, yeast, pepperoni, mushrooms, and whatever toppings are to your likings. You bring it all, and you mix it here, mix it here, and mix it like a kalabok. Who knows what that means? Then you cook it here. Anyways, let's be honest. It's a Papa Murphy's special family-sized couple of pieces on a Timber Task. Actually, that's pretty good. You get a thin crust. You layer it. You heat it up real nice, but you do quarters. You have small enough pieces to just crust them up, to bake the dough on the bottom and the center of the Timber Task. Then you set it on the side of it. Do another piece, set it on the side. When they're done, you put them on that little steamer tray, and then it does the job. Beautiful. Let's go outside. The beautiful thing about outside is that it's snowing. The warm roof has been melting it up, I guess. But it's snowing, and it's snowing. The next tracks are doing a pretty good job on making a trail or whatever. But it's just, it's been good. Look at that. we can create some trail right here. Man, it was mad. It was madness. Three feet of powder. Ready to fly. I don't know if you can see behind me. No, you can't. Right there, it's peeking red. I'm going to go get some of the footage with the drone. Right up there. A lot of beauty. And there's the sunrise coming up. Really nice and red. I'm going to go check it out. Guess where I am. Turning dark. Sun is nice. Wife suggests I wake up. This is awesome. My forehead just got a rush. And, I don't know if you guys can peek through here. Let's see if I can show you. It's barely peeking through. That's Manga right there. I'm going to go check it out later. Do you like it? Nice blue skies. Yellow sky. Looks like the ice is starting to take on. Any other questions? No? She said, is this ice? I just saw a bunny over there running around actually. Beautiful. Here's the day view. Let's go back? Let's go! Come on. Throw the blanket. Throw the blanket and sit down. Lie down on the sled. No? No, you don't have to. Sit down. Sit down on the blanket. It's okay. Step on it. It's okay. It's still alive. Oh! Just hold on. Hold on. Or you'll fall back because of the blanket. You're not going to make it. Put on your miracle stockings. Hold on. Did you put on your stockings? Hold on. Come on. Not much to say. For those who know, that's a turn to peninsula right there. So November 18, 2017. Breaking trail. There's not a lot of video. Not much video. I've been breaking the actual trail, but we're just getting there. We're passing. My passengers are only 6 months and 5 years old. The passengers are small. Can't hold the camera yet. Hopefully, the sun will grow and be able to support me in this. But beautiful. What it takes to get some of those videos and pictures for you guys to see. Falls deep. More than icebreakers. Some of the best shoes. Skaters are included. I couldn't hold it. I just stood up. I fell. Is it hard to walk? Wait, where are you going? Fall into the snow. Put on your hood and fall. It's been a while. This is awesome. A lot of snow? Do you have чудо-чулки? You have чудо-борода. It'll keep you warm. Awesome. You're crazy. Go, go, go. Awesome. Ram-train. Nick, show him. Dominic. Awesome. A lot of snow. We had some company join us, I guess. At the dock. This is our favorite Russian mountain. Nick, is it cool? Yes. He's cooking the favorite dish. A bunch of delicious veggies. And some shrimp. Make it all nice and beautiful. Turn the fire down a little more. Delicious smell under this. This preserves the taste. This is not as big as yours. I'm not capable. It's crazy, man. He was telling me how to build my own thing. I've been coming up here a lot. Mr. Hard is giving some wisdom words. Alex, are you going to be on YouTube? That's crazy. I'm surprised you made it this far. I couldn't get up the hill. I'm like a DJ. When I write a snow-white word, you come up to me. Look, it's Daniel. I say hi to everyone who loves snow. Say goodbye. No. When you grow up, you'll choose a husband. A boy will tell you what you don't like. You'll choose a good boy to live with. And then he will be your husband. Choose a good husband. You have the same interests. You like to spend time with each other. Dominic. Give me a lemon. You're steering. He's interested in buttons. Hold it. Don't steer with your belly, but with your hands. Happy Candy Day. Happy Candy Day? Hello. Sunday afternoon. Well, noon. 12 o'clock. Sunday. We're going home. The main driver. Co-pilot. We're heading home. It's still nice and chilly outside. 26 F. It's cool outside. The snow is starting to melt. The snow levels are visibly dropping. When we came up here on Friday, it was all just white. Now the trees look very good. But definitely a good time. Had a good weekend. Enjoyed the cabin stay and the serenity and peacefulness and quietness of a lonesome company. And came across a few friends who were wheeling around. So we had fun. So. We had a good weekend. In solitude. Proud solitude. We ate. That's it. Friends and acquaintances drove up. Slept. Yes. Slept. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. Thanks for visiting. Until next time, I guess, right? So stay tuned. Enjoy the other videos. Don't forget to subscribe. Check out nixonoverland.com website slowly. It's getting built up and finished up.

Hopefully everything was to your joyful pleasure as usual. So this was a nothing extreme, you know, family trip. It was a family trip. Without any extreme. Although we had to take a detour. We had to break some cool trail. But now coming down, it's like a freaking highway here, you know. We're coming across a bunch of stuck SUVs. Well, good luck to everyone. Cheers everybody. And for those who are following, December 15th, 16th, 17th, Elk Lake. Join for the camp. I'm not sure how big of a group it will be. But whoever gets there first, they get there first. Break the trail. But I plan to be out there sometime in the PM hours, you know, later. Off to work on, I think, Friday probably. After 5 or whatever. Anyways, see you all out there on the trail. Cheers.
