@@Whitedogoverland Based take. I bought a $5k truck for camping. If I took social media seriously, I would be worried that I need to put $20k into it and add a thousand pounds to the rig in order to survive in the backcountry. But I've taken it out a few times and had no problem. Its a stock manual 4x4. The only time I had any trouble was before installing good A/T tires. Now I go up the rutted steep lines just for fun. I throw in a good air compressor, shovel, maxtrax, and spare jack. I'm confident that my only deficiency is on obstacles that you would only do for fun.
Nice work and a honest bit of history telling. Not unlike current events going on around this planet at times the term humanity has been lost in definition. I've been listening to "Empire of the Summer Moon". A very good historical account of the Comanche Indians rise and fall. My wife (a German) asked me if it was a fiction or non-fiction book. She had no idea of the violence perpetrated upon all sides in the conquest of the North American continent. Keep it up!
You’re absolutely right about current events. We’re really ever only told one side and it’s who’s right and who’s wrong. There’s no longer genuine truth behind any matter. This type of history is so unique that’s why I keep coming back to touch on it. Also maybe because it’s in my backyard but it’s something I don’t want to see lost in the translation of time.
Your RAV4 really did well on this trip. My wife has a 2007 RAV4. You have inspired us to give our RAV4 a try. They can do better offroad than many think. Thank you!
wow, incredibly under-rated considering the amount of time this video would've taken, i especially like the intersting facts that you shared along the way
Dude I just found your channel and honestly thought this was like a 500K+ subscriber channel. The quality of your videos is so good. Keep it up man! Would love more videos with the Rav
I love the history lessons and education we get with your videos! There's a plethora of great information in your videos. As an Arizona 'native', I'm shocked just how much there is out there I had no idea exsisted....
thanks for the memorys .I use to hunt up there every year. You wont belive what you have missed up there. I just found you and i am loving your videos.keep up the good work
Really loved this video! The fall colors in the canyon are stunning! I love it when you tell the history and go to places that people that live here in Arizona have no idea exist. Although at the end, I don’t think we need to see you relieving yourself…. But other than that it was a great video. Keep up the good work.🎉
I love the OG ravs. Funny because I didn't know you had a rav. I commented on your other video earlier about maybe buying an older tundra and keeping my rav. I do have a 5th gen rav but I plan to keep thing until it dies or I die. I see decades to come with my rav. I always loved the old ravs though. Nice to see it hit some trials.
I absolutely love this car. All the ravs are so under rated and great for softroading. Can’t kill them. I just needed something to save gas around town but figured it could also save some fuel consumption out on the small endeavors
Thank you for an honest view on history. As you stated, there are 2 sides. Most of the times it seems that most people take the side that works for their beliefs. Keep posting and taking us along on your journey's. It keeps my dreams alive!
Thanks brother man, I almost feel like this was the first place I ever went out with you on an actual trip. Need to hit it soon, saw your message about direct dming you. I’ll definitely plan something close soon and we can get out
Stunning video and I really enjoy your story telling. You are becoming quite the pro in drone video shooting while driving!!! Love the history you uncover in your videos.
Another great video! Drone work in the intro was stunning to say the least and your music choice for this trip did a great job of matching the mood of the video. It all came together very nicely. Looking forward to the next one!
brought back lots of memories... spent my pre-teen, teen years hunting deer, javelina out of the Klondyke area. "Uncle Clay" lived there. drove the County grader on the dirt road from Klondyke to the black top. at the time, Nature Conservancy was coming in, buy out lots of family properties. some grumbling from the folks that grew up there,, us old Native Arizonan. but, I thought it wasn't a bad thing. Now a days. lots of the land is preserved. Did some mountain biking, camping in the area for years. My first Coatimundi's . great area.
It’s top 5 on my list. I’ve been out there so many times and will continue to return for the rest of my life. The history of the locals runs deep. I talk to the Klondyke store owner for about an hour as well as another rancher in the shop and I could just tell how long they’ve been out there and how well they knew the terrain.
The mine you turned around at was the Iron Cap, last operated by the Farr Mining Co. in the 1960's. The equipment were the air compressors for the mine. They were after Lead, Zinc, and a little Silver. This was also the site of the first Babingtonite found in Az.
Very interesting thank you for that. Had some trouble finding much history on the specific mine but did find some on workman’s camp up there. Really neat out there
I'm always amazed at the stunning scenery that you travel through. Thanks for showing another part of AZ that I had no idea was there. 1983 is an old magazine??? I was 30 years old that year.
Great video - I live in Tucson as well, over by Fantasy Island. Once the fiancée gets out here (she has an older Ridgeline that we can hopefully use), we're looking forward to exploring all types of stuff like this. Can you do some target shooting in the woods in some of these areas?
Beautiful, but way too risky by yourself. Just not worth it son, you have to remember you are not in your Tundra. I've been there and done that. It used to piss your mom off a lot. You do know your history though. Another awesome job as always. Love you!!
Thanks pop. It makes Ashley a bit concerned but I can’t help but get out even if my whole crew bails. Maybe next time you can join after we get the taco ready
Beautiful. Love your videos, research and beautiful photography. Part of me hates to see you show it. Would like to keep these secrets. Hopefully those who go there will have reverence for these sacred places.
Thank you so much. I feel the same way, I try never to reveal exact roads I take or give out coordinates in places like this that aren’t we’ll documented.
This has been a great year for me as far as wildlife sightings while camping go. Maybe the best yet. I still haven't seen a single coati though, so this was awesome.
I’ve seen three different sets this year, twice in my backyard (I live in the low lands area of Tucson near the mountains) still on the lookout for a bear though!
Did you ever hear the story about the Power’s family that lived near Klondike in the early 1900’s? There is a very good documentary called, “Power’s War” about them. Some interesting Arizona history.
Oh yeah, itching to get out there one of these days. Not the easiest hike but I do plan to backpack or mule pack in one of these days. Largest lawman shootout in state history deserves some attention!
Thank you! I usually plan trips around the history that’s relevant to a particular area and in Az we have plenty of that! Also with the help of onx offroad
Always got that 2a ready when solo, except this time I was more worried about the canyon spirits than I was predators! Have fun down there at fossil great time of year to hit it!
My ex-wife was born and raised in Klondike spend a lot of time there in the very early 80s.When the ghost town of error ripo was completely intait's a shame to see it now
It sure is, passed copper creek it’s called rug road. Definitely need some high clearence and armor. If I’m taking this car I’ll take Wilcox,m to Bonita then through Klondyke
great footage. being an Az native you've shown shown me places I've never traveled. thanks one question. do you ever invite a guest ? I have recently retired with time on my hands. i live in Black Canyon City.
Are those rims oem Rav 4 rims? or belong to a different Toyota model? Dope videos btw, picked up a gen 1 Rav 4 last August with hopes to use it to start exploring a bit. Cheers!
Read Hampton Sides. "Blood and Thunder". Manifest Destiny and Kit Carson history. The Navajo's. I believe Kearny is mentioned during his southern Arizona duty. good book. all his are good reading.
Kit Carson is my favorite frontiersman. Probably the most bad ass dude in American history and so many people don’t know his story, might have to do a series on his trail. The west would have been lost to Mexico had it not been for Kit!
@@Whitedogoverlandthat is cool. I bought a 05 4runner because i wanted 4wd. A rav4 never even crossed my mind and I think I would have been more satisfied with a smaller nimbler ride. Kudos to you! Great little rig!
@@Whitedogoverland she’s a beautiful pup. We just lost our pup recently and looked exactly like yours. Crazy how your video feed popped up afterwards with ya dog. Great content and beautiful pup keep up the great work! I subd
Very less people use old vehicles and tell to the people that anyone can do camping overlanding I really want that rav4 how much did you spend to buy that vehicle what are other vehicles we can use and start ??? Can you also please provide the map of that camp sides and off road side ?
So refreshing to watch someone using an old affordable vehicle to overland instead of the $100k plus rigs that most people can’t afford as a fun toy.
That’s why I bought the rav. People think this hobby requires the best of the best, in the end it’s just car camping!

I love the channel and appreciate hearing about the local histories of the areas. More people need to watch your channel!
Love that Rad-Rav. Tells people you can go off road with anything affordable. 🤙🏽
Forsure!
FANTASTIC views, history and experience of your doggo. Thank you.
Your RAV4 really did well on this trip. My wife has a 2007 RAV4. You have inspired us to give our RAV4 a try. They can do better offroad than many think. Thank you!
They sure do go almost anywhere you point them. Really great little adventure cars. Get yours out there!
This is a special and outstanding cinematography my friend, fantastically captured surroundings! Just epic!
I really appreciate that!
I really like your videos especially because there is some history related to your trail trips.
That RAV4 definitely has some character.
Appreciate that!
wow, incredibly under-rated considering the amount of time this video would've taken, i especially like the intersting facts that you shared along the way
Thank you for that recognition. Appreciate the support!
Nice video, that’s all you need to enjoy the outdoors, I have a 2003 Suzuki grand Vitara 2.5 Liters V6 with high and low transfer case
Those are killer little rigs!
Great video. The first v shaped “engine” is a air compressor. The second is a straight 6 Diesel engine. Super cool.
Bad ass. The smaller engine definitely looked more like it had more of a compressor rather than multiple cylinders. Good to know thanks!
The scenery is amazing.... Those drone shots at the beginning looked so vivid and clear. Great job. So different than where we are here in Florida.
Sometimes I take it for granted having this in my backyard! Thanks for watching all the way from the east coast!
Dude I just found your channel and honestly thought this was like a 500K+ subscriber channel. The quality of your videos is so good. Keep it up man! Would love more videos with the Rav
Maybe one day! Thanks for the sub and welcome!
Thank you I really enjoy the history lessons you always make it so interesting take care
Thank you so much for watching, I’m really glad you enjoy this content!
Just got a 2012 v6 4x LTD, your videos speak to me brother! Excellent content!
Thanks! Great video. Beautiful area. Would love to have the route you took.

Thank you I really appreciate that!
I like your videos very much !
I am also an owner of an RAV4 (version with 3 doors from 2006).
Thank you! Killer cars forsure!
sounds like a glass pack. which i had on Audi, which i loved!!!
I didn’t totally love the sound at first but got used to it after a while, gave the car a bit of depth to it!

I bet it was plenty warm in that confined space with your furry bed warmer.
Oh yeah no heater needed!

this was a really nice video. came for the rav4 but stayed for the scenery, history, music and vibes
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, and even more happy to hear you came for the rav!

Thank you brother, as always. Trying something new and different every time to bring a more immersive experience!
Enjoying this video seeing what my favorite Toyota can do. Thank you for the history that was so interesting.
Turning out to be my favorite as well haha. Thanks for the watch!
Great video! I was born and raised in Arizona and your videos inspire me to move back out there someday to explore.
Gotta get back out here! I couldn’t ever see myself leaving this state. So much beauty that goes over looked
Good stuff as always

Gorgeous area, one you gotta check out!
seeing those Coatis was awesome. had never heard of the but look NM as some down in the boot heel . thanks for sharing as always
It’s always so fun to sit and watch them when I get the chance. They’re all over southern Mexico
Keep us updated on the mods for the RAV4 I’m digging that build 🤙
Definitely, more to come!
OK I enjoyed the heck outta that. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching

Keep up the good work. I always enjoy your videos.👌@@Whitedogoverland
Awesome video man.

Hey, I do the solo thing quite a bit too...but, you really should get a Garmin in-reach or zoleo. Something like $10 or $15 a month...
Beautiful. Love your videos, research and beautiful photography. Part of me hates to see you show it. Would like to keep these secrets. Hopefully those who go there will have reverence for these sacred places.

Awesome to see an affordable overlander! Would you say the 1st Gen Rav4s with the center locking diffs are a necessity for this kind of trip?
Budget overland is so underated! The center lock certainly helps, it’s surprising what it can tackle for what it is!
Did you ever hear the story about the Power’s family that lived near Klondike in the early 1900’s? There is a very good documentary called, “Power’s War” about them. Some interesting Arizona history.

I didn’t know this part of AZ even existed. Just google mapped it and will be my next solo trip. Awesome video and drone shots man
Thanks brother, it’s a sweet canyon definitely need to see it if you haven’t yet
Really think you tapped into something with the historical background complementing the overlanding trip.
Thank you, I agree some people never get into the history side of Arizona wilderness but every range and mountain has a story
Great video man! What time of year was this?
Thanks! About mid fall, best season to get out there
Just found your videos, my wife and I question to you is how do you find these places that you go overland on?? By the way love watching your videos!!
Thank you! I usually plan trips around the history that’s relevant to a particular area and in Az we have plenty of that! Also with the help of onx offroad
Kickass! Keep that shotgun handy and loaded! Lol. Never been to that part of Arizona. Might head for fossil creek tomorrow or Tuesday! Timmy C Arizona
Always got that 2a ready when solo, except this time I was more worried about the canyon spirits than I was predators! Have fun down there at fossil great time of year to hit it!
