ASCENT ADVENTURING
All Over The Country

Check Out Some of My Favorite Off Roading Clips From My May 2021 Utah Adventure!

Here’s some of my favorite off-roading clips of my Ascent from my May 2021 Utah Adventure!!! To date, my National Park adventures (and the off-roading fun in the parks and in the National Forests) have helped raise over $2,500 in direct contributions to the National Park Foundation, and a similar amount directly benefitting NPS.

Turkey Swamp Wildlife Management Area Cleanup, Camping and Off Road Cruise (Aug 2022)

On August 26th-28th, 2022, MtnRoo Tri-State, including a bunch of Subaru Ambassadors, and friends from Subaru of America, went on another epic adventure – this time, to Turkey Swamp Wildlife Management Area, for a Cleanup, Camping and Off Road Adventure.

We picked up many thousands of pounds of trash, managed to recycle nearly a half ton of garbage, and had a lot of fun doing it! Check out our adventure!!!

SHORT: Can the Subaru Ascent Climb?

We already know the Subaru Outback Wilderness can climb some tough climbs, even on three wheels, BUT, can the Subaru Ascent climb the same tough climb on three wheels while weighing in at nearly 6,000 pounds?!?!

Let’s find out, in this little Subaru Ascent off road short video!!!

Q&A: Off Roading my Subaru Ascent – What is the safe water fording depth of a Subaru?

A lot of people have asked me “What is the water fording depth of my/a Subaru?” In this video, I answer that question, and provide a number of water fording tips.

It’s About WAY More Than Just The Off-Roading – And YOU Can Be a Part of It!!!

So, the whole world knows I love off-roading and overlanding, all over the country. I’ve got somewhere over 10,000 miles (and losing count) on non-paved surfaces ranging from fire trails/roads to beaches to mountains to deserts to 4×4 trails. But, that’s far from what I’m all about.

My friends and I also like giving back. I’m a part of MtnRoo, and the chapter I’m most active in, MtnRoo Tri-State, puts on some amazing volunteer events.

So, join us, and be a part of the next adventure (and do something good at the same time)!

My Experiences Towing With My 2019 Ascent Touring

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of tent camping in a spacious, 90 second setup, Gazelle T4 hub tent. But, every now and then, and more frequently in the past, I’d tow my best friend’s travel trailer.
A lot of people asked what it’s like towing with the Subaru Ascent. I think the Ascent makes an amazing part time tow vehicle, and it’s done really well for our needs. A number of people ask what my favorite towing gear is. Read on to find what I use.
