Wet western Oregon excursion in the Forester

Overview of a softroading excursion in the Oregon Coast Range on BLM land to the southwest of Eugene. I take a damp drive through typical western Oregon hills and woods in the Subaru Forester, briefly compare the Forester vs. Sprinter as forest exploration vehicles, and stumble upon an unexpected waterfall.

Dude it's amazing how good even your earlier videos are. I continue to try to learn as much as I can when watching your videos to help me with my own. I'm officially on a binge watching from old to new! 🙌

[robbergstrom]

It's been a real treat going through all your older videos. Your great filming style was always there. Great scenes, camera work, and thoughtful narration.

Good stream crossings in western Oregon are well kept secrets

I love the scenic shots in this one, so surreal looking! Of course, can't go wrong with all the nice action shots of the Subie. Please, please, please keep up the awesome work!

I have an 06' Forester x, and now I'm motivated to build it up for adventuring!!

I am loving this channel. I am amazed at what you can find on some of those little spur roads. The illegal dumping is always a shame.

That's one of the things about my RedRam. I always carry contractor bags and carry out as much trash as I can. My work is great about me filling the dumpster with crap from the adventures I go on. Nice production sir!

I was District Engineer with Oregon Forestry Dept in Western Lane Fire District in the 1970s. Thanks.

I sure enjoyed this episode. Wonderful videography, beautiful scenery, great narration, and just enough humor to make it fun! Thank you! The music selection was fantastic also! Those shots of Siuslaw Falls were amazing! A great contrast to what I find here on the east side of the mountains!

You really hit the spot of the Foresterers, the Jeepers won't understand us.

8:54 Today I realized that I've *never* aired back up in the dark, because I had NO idea my Viair 88P had a built-in LED light. :D

[steveblanchard]

Why did you have to air up? Do you run your tires low in the back country?

[jmsuitter]

some people makes me so angry and in such a wonderful place

[matthewbeatty]

what do you air down to for softroading?
