Wandering SE New Mexico in our Gladiator Rubicon
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- My wife and decided to explore a new area that we had never been to before in Southeast New Mexico. So we headed off to the Carlsbad area just to see what we could find around the Lincoln National Forest. While there we visited Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and White Sands National Park. We also stayed at some pretty amazing camp sites each night. For this trip we took our 2021 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and tested out some new cold weather camping gear.

Just coming out of the tunnel to the right is a turn out. There is a trail there that takes you down into Fresnel Canyon to a waterfall and swimming hole. A place I went to regularly as a teenager.
Sounds awesome
In Muskogee Oklahoma there is a bomb range there and you can hear the booms for miles away.
Great arear! I lived in both Carlsbad and Cloudroft area (Sacremtneto). Matterr of fact, the Cloudcroft Methodist Church has a woodcarving of the Last Supper I carved, as the pulpit, in that church. Both areeas are abosolutely a must see, if your in that area! Gorgeous area to venture in to!!!
You two are fantastic. My wife and I chuckle and chuckle. Love your relationship.
New Mexico camping is awesome, some of the best that there is
I was at the New Braunsfels Buc-ees a couple of weekends ago. I’m in a Jeep with an Ursa Minor camper top and though I didn’t have it deployed and was just sleeping in my drivers seat they came and asked me to leave citing a 3 hour limit. The lot was virtually empty. They asked a guy across from me in a towed RV to leave as well. First time this has happened at that location.
I've stayed at bucees east of Dallas before. Front seat sleeping and never had an issue. Usually sleep at loves or flying j/pilot truck stops.
Wife and I were in that same area in September. We headed west to Tombstone after White Sands. That whole area is beautiful and I want to go back.
Those pistachios are amazing…but I didn’t go all out like you did bro! Next time…next time…
Buckee’s breakfast brisket burrito’s are amazing!
That Passport book will keep you entertained for years! It's more than just National Parks. We made it to 10 National Parks, 8 National Forests, 2 National Lakeshores and a couple of National Monuments in the last 12 months. Some locations do not have a passport stamp, and some have multiple passport stamps and locations. Our last NP was Hot Springs a couple days after RITO. You guys should book a couples spa and get the stamp since you're right down the road!
Some day I’ll get to experience the majesty that is Buc-ees. No such luck here on the West Coast. ☹️
60,000 sq ft of gloriousness
I went to Carlsbad Caverns in the early 1960's as a child and it was nothing like that is today. No snack shop or sitting area.
We had a Park Ranger giving a guided tour with a flashlight. I don't think the walkways were that nice either, it was more primitive back then.
Yeah , may be they keep that all way and place naturally and for off roader . ? .
We have one of them here in Florida too. I had no clue but accidentally found Buck-ee's near Daytona Beach while driving I-95.
That water looked crystal clear
I loved this video ya'll To funny I knew you were going to cook like a burrito lol
I live here in Alamogordo. Grew up here, joined the AF and after being all over the country moved back. Lots to see that y'all would have loved. Missile tests regularly but the even crazier thing are the test track tests. Sonic booms that shake you down to your core! Wish I knew y'all were coming, could have showed y'all the good stuff to do. Ridiculous amount of off roading around here.. Thanks for showing our beautiful high desert area.
New Mexico is one of my favorite states to Explore that isnt too far from me! Love that state
That drone recovery was awesome and lucky lol. I just lost mine 2 weeks ago, hit a cliff and couldn't get to it.
That catch was FANTASTIC!!!
I totally loved this video. Seeing the loving relationship that you and your wife have is wonderful. She seems like an extremely sweet woman. Great video!
You guys cracking up about those cards! Good stuff! You two had fun and that's the best part.
Enjoyed seeing my close to home places to adventure to possibly over the winter 🥶. I spent 4 years in Alamogordo stationed at Holloman AFB, omg 40 years ago. Based on your video, I think I may pay the area another visit. I have been to all the areas in your video but hey why not again all these years later. I won’t be camping out in those cool secluded areas solo but they sure look like nice areas to explore w my Mojave. Thank you two for sharing your adventures.
Next time you should check out the 4x4 roads south of Queen in the LNF. There are also some good trails north of Las Cruces. A good one is a road up Lookout Mountain, not the one near Ski Apache. And if you haven't driven up the road to Ski Apache, do so even though it is paved.
Next time for sure!! So many places to explore.
Love you videos!! You both rock, keep them coming. Thank you!
Thank you! Will do!
Great video! Love seeing the two of you together and having fun. Looked like a nice trip.
Great fun! Thanks for the ride along
Buc-Ce's Rules, best convenience stop around.
Soooo taking up Three parking spots bodes well for people wanting/needing a spot to get some sleep aye???? Well at least you didn't leave trash laying around & did some shopping After. Really nice spot's you found with the city in the distance, sunset & moon. Good to see ya got the drone back in one piece.
That's so cool you were right here! I live 10 minutes from McGinn's Pistachio Land and it was cool to see you guts exploring my back yard.
Survival is no laughing matter. ;) Ok, those playing cards were hilarious. Really too bad it wasn't an actual game. Good thing Cara keeps up the insurance since Matt decided to climb around on top of the Gladiator to retrieve the drone. Looks like an awesome trip to NM. Enjoyed the video, as always guys.
I was in NM last month. It’s so beautiful and wide open.
I love this adventure. Thanks for visiting my state and bringing me along and that deck of cards at the end had me rolling 🤣.
Matt, don’t you think it’s time to replace or repair your chipped windshield? Doesn’t looking through it drive you nuts? 🙄
Loved this adventure! Literally laughed till I had tears over the playing cards!
Good to hear you enjoyed visiting our state. Las Cruces has also Top Rated four wheeling For the missile range anything and everything gets tested there.
Oh that epic drone recovery! Happy to see that turn out well.
Awesome vid guys!
Dude, you got me at buccees. I LOVE that place. I got half dozen shirts and boatloads of swag. Best jerky on the planet.
Your living my kinda life, been binge watching your channel for a month now
Thanks!!
Her laughing about those cards had me rolling! 😂😂😂
What a great adventure, makes me wish I was there! Will have to visit in the future…
The sheep that you saw on Dark Canyon were Barbary Sheep. Love that area all around there it’s beautiful country.
Hi! The Gladiator isn't going to turn into an airplane, is it? Hahahaha! I think I'm moving and exploring other countries with very far-away views.~~
Cool! I'll look forward to the next video.~~
Enjoyed the video guys! Keep up the good content 👍
Thanks so much!
Awesome video and so glad you guys had some good quality time together. I do wish y'all could have come by on your way home to visit. Can't wait to hang with you on a trip in the future though.
We have one near us in Tx! They’re the greatest of all convenient stores, ever!!!
Love this type of adventuring! I also like that you included how you retrieved your drone. We were just in the Alamogordo/Ruidoso area last weekend (Thanksgiving 2021) and did a little exploring with our Jeep.
excellent video
Love the video thank you!
I think y’all need to make another trip out to the Lincoln National Forest. Y’all just hit the tip of the ice berg. It’s a haul to get out there though especially for me from the DFW area. Its cool to see TH-camrs I subscribe to checking out the SE NM area. One of these days I’ll explore your next of the woods but not sure how my full size will do. As always, love the trips videos and gear reviews.
Love your adventures, they are so much fun.
Watching you get that drone was the best thing od my life lpl
cool video I was at white sands on the Nov 30th
That's awesome! Great video! Great rig and set up.....
Thanks! 👍
You found one of our favorite random lunch sites by the cross! We ran across it our last trip to NM. That drop down trail onto that small flat spot behind the Jeep gets you out of the wind fyi
Did you happen to go over the highway by the shooting range area? We had to bail on the trail up above there because we didn’t want to die! LOL
I love Buc-ees, we have 2 of them in Georgia now.
awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice catch with the drone! It sucks getting stuck in the trees!
I'm glad you and Cara had an opportunity to explore by yourselves. I wish you both the best and Mary Christmas and I am looking forward to following you both into the New Year.
Get y'all! The link to your firepit isn't working anymore and I'd love to know where you got it! LOVE your vids BTW. I've been camping and 4x4ing in AR for years but have never done any overlanding up there. Can't wait to take the truck up there.
Wonderful cave , i like snack nuts & crisp , better if have text name of each location or area u visit / stopover ? .
Bet there is a card for that lashing technique you used
I believe those were Audads and not Big Horn Sheep…
Drone Recovery Team t-shirts, patches and stickers coming soon?
Those playing cards got me remembering when we were issued cards back in Iraq about high-value target lol
I'm curious about the diesel heater. I have seen those before but haven't given much thought until I saw you guys using it. I put one on an Amazon watch list when I was watching your vid but then saw you had problems with it. Did you figure out what the problem was ??
Get a lot of soot built up on glow plug above 7000 ft. After a couple nights we have to run it on high at a lower elevation for a little while to get it to start normally. If you gunk it up too much it won’t start. We’ve used ours a lot over the last year. Cloudcroft was the place that gave us the most trouble on restarting but it still would after a few attempts. Hope that helps.
@@scurdge2001 ... Can't you just pop out the glow plug and clean it like a spark plug ? Seems like that would be an easy fix.
@@huf67 can’t you? Lol. I’m sure it could. Mine doesn’t seem to come apart as easily as just camping lower elevation every third night. Lol
@@scurdge2001 ... Well yes I can !! Haha... Just watched another video on a similar type of unit and it seems pretty easy. It probably wouldn't hurt to keep a spare glow plug in you supplies.
@@huf67 that’s a great idea. I’m sure you’ll love it. Ours is a cheap Chinese one. Was 130$. Friend has a welder so we made a stand for it. Expanded metal was cut to fit the fuel tank and other side had plenty of room for everything else.
Love this video! What tires are you running? Looking for something good for my daily driver but off roading as well. ( Not rock climbing)
Milestar Patagonias. Thanks.
Hey do you happen to have the coordinators for that awesome campsite Near the end?
Desert Bighorn sheep.
I notice a new kitchen slideout. Is that the one from Global Road Outdoors?
Yes it is. I love it. More details in next Friday’s video
Any pointers on the trails leading up to the Buc-ees Camp Grounds? lmao
No need to air down!
the ending was so supensful, i was worried for you
You had too much fun but I liked it
Enjoyed the adventure, what app do you use? Thanks for the video.
Thanks! Navigation app? We use Gaia GPS.
Lmao😂😂😂😂😂 camped outside bucees!!
Best place to wake up for breakfast! 😂
What electric blanket do you use?
It's this one.... amzn.to/3D1XeRh
When does Kara's Bronco arrive?
See. The people want the Bronco. Give the people what they want!!!
Ar 23:40 what road is that?
How many you got on that jeep now
Miles? 16,500 in 6 months. 😂
Barbery Sheep not bighorn
I thought you had kids? 😂
I do. Teenagers. 😂
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos. My daughter is at the age now were she wants to start camping more and exploring. Hoping to start visiting some of your recommendations. I’m really enjoying your content. Keep up the great work. You guys are awesome, really humble and seem cool as a breeze. Take care
