    In this episode I travel to Big Bend National Park to overland and explore the desert landscape in my Jeep Wrangler. I accomplish so much on this trip and had an extremely great time. Tacos in Mexico, a dip in a hot springs, copious amounts of backroad off-roading, wildlife and astro-photography just to name a few.

    Really enjoyed the video and what a stunning night sky capture near the beginning of the video. If I'm ever out that way I'll be sure to pack a telescope. Looks like it's perfect dark skies, no light pollution.

    Hey Chris I’m also traveling the states solo this year. I was just in Big Bend the last 5 days with my FJ Cruiser and I wanted to thank you for all the great tips in your video. I camped along the primitive roads and it was great! I’m headed towards California now, good luck man!

    Incredible video brother! I love the simple, first-person footage. I'm from SA and have been to Big Bend many times. It's a magical place and a great trip for overlanding.
    Keep up the good work and be safe. I just subscribed!

    I wanted to hate on you because I'm so jealous. Seriously, though, when you dropped the Super Troopers quote, I immediately subscribed for that alone! Last month, I finished-up a road trip out west, which included Big Bend NP, in my GTI. I'm thinking I want something AWD the next time I go out, so I can explore more, but after watching this video it's now crystal clear to me the difference between AWD recommended and high clearance/4x4 required.... holy crap! Keep them coming.

      Thank you! I would agree with the 4wd but I've also been on some crazy roads and have passed Subarus thinking holy crap how'd you get here!? Haha I need to add more movie quotes into my videos I gotta stop editing out my random ramblings.

    Great video. We’re planning an overland trip to Big Bend State and National parks. I have a weird question: we’re driving a vehicle that requires premium fuel. Is it fairly easy to find premium gasoline at gas stations around the parks?

    • @CHExplore1
      @CHExplore1  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad you liked it! There is a gas station in the park that has all three of the normal octanes! I don't think they offer ethanol free gas but they definitely have high octane.

    How is the road to Juniper Canyon trail head could a Subaru ascent make it?

    • @CHExplore1
      @CHExplore1  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd be careful but I believe you could make it in a SUV. I don't quite remember the drive in but it's part of black gap road which can get technical but I believe the part that just goes to juniper canyon is fine. If you take the turn off to black gap you will have problems.
