Exploring the Mendocino National Forest

Hi My name is Oliver and in this video, I explored the Mendocino National Forest in my Tacoma TRD Offroad, along with my friend Aldo in his Tacoma TRD Sport, and my uncle Jolly Joel as a copilot. We started from Upper Lake, California and from there we head north, straight into the mountains where we passed through a couple designated campgrounds. That is where we spend our first night since we had a late start that day. The next day we spent adventuring through the forest passing through some amazing views and a few water crossings until we found our campsite for the night next to a small creek. All in all this trip has been one of my favorites so far mainly because we had more time than usual to explore more of the trails around the area. The overcast and rainy weather made for some of the most beautiful scenery and some fun muddy trails.

This is my first adventure video that I shoot and edit, so I apologize for any bad audio and not the best quality of video, but I hope you enjoyed my adventure and stay tuned for more in the future. With more practice, better equipment and better skills, my videos will only get better. Subscribe to Rugged Adventures for future adventure and build videos. Also, feel free to comment any tips or advice you’d like to give on how I can improve my video quality and bring you better content for future videos. I also mentioned that I am in need of an upgraded camping stove that’s slim and compact to make more cargo space for other camping gear in the bed of my truck, my Coleman roadtrip stove top is great but its too bulky for my adventures.

Thanks for watching!
