100 Miles of Dirt Into Montana's Backcountry | 36-HOUR ADVENTURES: EP02

The best trips don't always begin with months of planning or a passport stamp - sometimes they start on a Friday afternoon with a packed rig, a route downloaded, and just enough daylight to reach dirt before dark. 36 Hour Adventures (36HRS) is an Expedition Portal video series about making the most of whatever time and terrain you have available. In episode two, Tim and the crew head into the Montana backcountry with a packed checklist and 36 hours to complete it. Following nearly 100 miles of dirt roads through a section of the Montana BDR, they search for an abandoned settlement, hike into the Wolverine Basin, chase wild trout, take a cold-water plunge, and keep an eye out for Montana wildlife along the way. But thunderstorms force an unexpected change of camp, turning a retreat down the mountain into one of the most spectacular double rainbows the crew has ever seen. Add in a redemption steak dinner, a few questionable camp decisions, and rapidly changing mountain weather, and Montana delivers just about everything they hoped for. Each episode of 36HRS joins a different member of the Expedition Portal creator community as they explore the terrain close to home. From relaxed runs to true tests of the rig, kit, and crew, every adventure is built around one fundamental premise: You don’t need more time. You just need to go. Presented by Visit Montana!
