Originally a Texan with a restless spirit, Jimmy Toungate [ton-gate] headed North in 2004 to carve out a life defined by adventure. From the dust of the trails of the American Southwest as a professional cowboy to the unforgiving swells of the Alaskan commercial fishing industry, his life has been a masterclass in American grit.

​

Today, he is the driving force behind Offroad X Files, where he blends his background as a backcountry trail guide with a deep-seated quest for the unexplained. Whether he is leading expeditions through the Pacific Northwest or conducting field research as a Sasquatch investigator and filmmaker, Jimmy operates at the edge of the map.

 

As a brand ambassador for onX Offroad, Morimoto Lighting, and Setpower, he has dedicated his life to documenting the wilderness and proving that the greatest stories are found where the trail ends.
