HERE WE GO AGAIN! We get up, get out, and do something BIG. This time we're celebrating my 51st birthday at the Padre Island National Seashore (P.I.N.S.) in Corpus Christi! I lead a team of overlanding and fishing enthusiasts 59.5 miles south along the beach to the Port Mansfield Pass aka The East Cut. We camp out for 4 nights and endure a cool front and high winds on day one. I hope you enjoy the video and the entire series.

This made me miss going camping at the beach in cold weather 😩loved it Robert cant wait for more!
Thanks, David!!! Cold weather at the beach makes you chill. Lol
I grew up in Corpus and spent a lot of time at Padre but I would never camp on the beach in November. Especially with a cold front moving in. June thru Sept is best. I'd rather it be hot and sunny than cold and rainy. Glad you guys had some fun tho.
We were there for several days so we only had to endure the passing front for a day and a half. You were blessed to have grown up in that area. Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏽
Awesome video! Watching Part 2 next. I just got back from P.I.N.S. this afternoon. I had the same overheating issue Tre did in the deep sand that started at about mile 18 and ended up stopping and camping just before the mile marker 20 sign. Found out the hard way that a Snugpak Ionosphere is NOT the tent to use in windy beach camping conditions! The "no see em" mesh may keep bugs out, but by morning, there was almost an inch of sugar sand inside the tent! LOL.........
You drove a long long way just to end up a half a mile from where you normally go lol. Great vid. Farthest I’ve been is Yarborough pass.
🤣 that’s exactly what happened!!! Sometimes we just have to go for the sake of going. Lots cheaper and easier to go via the SPI route for me 💰
On This video I saw yall cooking out in the rain and the cold....on your birthday at PINS..well my gf and I learned that there is plenty ventilation in the Gazelle to safely cook inside comfortably. Also using the buddy heater. Now Gazelle in the summer ughhhhhhhhhhh lol
I had the queen size bed at the time instead of my twin!! Lol. I now have a gazelle t4 plus but still haven’t used it!
Trash does get bad, but its mostly from the currents in the gulf, they push anything that floats pretty much on to bigshell. There is a clean up every year on the last weekend in Feb.
Thanks for commenting, Robert. I went to a cleanup just last week. The video will upload in a bit. Hope you get to watch it.
Awesome! Looks like a great trip!
Happy Belated Birthday! 🎂🎈 I turn 51 in April..
Thank you! That’s awesome, make sure you make it memorable. 😊🎥🎬
AYEEE!!! SAW YALL THAT WEEKEND!!! it awesome seeing that train!! 🙌🙌 We were 3 1/2 miles lol can't wait to see the 60 someday!! 🌊🌊
Your camp/rig is probably on video! Lol. Thanks for watching! ☺️🎥🎬
Me and my son David would go there for the shark tournament when he was in college at kingsville we had a lots of fun fishing for sharks awesome place
Love it
Yep some days are not ideal that the beauty of been out side in the wild!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁I will join you guys soon!
Carlos Rodriguez bad weather at the coast is brutal lol. Hit us up!
Watch your speed guys and gals! You were not lying when brought up in the video. The cops were in full force for the first 15 to 20 mile marks.
Absolutely!!! We saw them enforcing the law. I’d rather save my money for gas instead of paying some court! Lol
I'm really enjoying your series up here in Fort Worth. I sent links to friends in Florida that are watching too. Keep having fun, keep working on your own weight loss and keep your terrific videos and tips of the area coming!
Thank you, Blair! I appreciate the support and motivation. 👍🏽🎥🎬
Added as a sub. Keep up the beach camping.
Looked like an easy ride on the sand. Had it rained there? (Oh now you covered that)
Thank you for the support. Heading back on 2/10!
Mother nature, Glad you all had a safe trip 👊👊🎣🎣🎣
We just roll with it 👍🏽
Thank you for uploading these views of the dunes.
Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!!
This series got me hooked to your channel last season! Looking forward to seeing what y’all have in store!
Thank you, my friend! So much footage was left out. Just way too much to include in these vids. I hope the rest of the trip can be added in short segments.
Miss your videos man
Hope all is well 👍 👍
Hi brother. Still going to therapy. Hope to get well soon and go back out there. Miss the beach for real.

Wind made you look like a pirate with that hat 😂 Great video! Keep them coming 👍🏼 Wish I had a 4x4 to take my kids to big shell beach

Nice Robert have fun on your 51st birthday bro.👍🏼
Thank you, brotha! Gotta stay healthy in my older age. 👍🏽
Just a reminder about a year and a half ago I told u we would be coming down well now it’s time we are doing it see you on the cut
When are you going? 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Should be their in like 3 weeks brother
Nice! Great video!
Thank you! 🎥🎬👍🏽
Happy birthday man....congrats on everything 👏
Thank you!!! 🎥🎬🙏🏽
Watch out for rangers with drone! That’s $5000 beefers if they bust someone with one. PINS is a national park and they don’t play.
“Violation of the ban is a misdemeanor with the maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $5,000 fine”
www.nps.gov/articles/unmanned-aircraft-in-the-national-parks.htm
Any day outdoors is better than being at work
Amen!! 🤣🎥🎬👍🏽
Check out the Solo Stove.
I have a buddy who uses it. Looks like a pretty cool product. 🎥🎬👍🏽
Hell YEA!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOSS!!!!! Hope next year I can going you omce I am back. Can't wait to go fishing with u man. See you soon. O and keep being healthy so can produce more great vidieos like always.
Thank you!!! I’d love to have you with us. Be safe out there.
Were all the rest of the videos man.... 😆
@@fish2live102 Brooooo! I'm working on part 2 and I hope it uploads by Sunday morning. These vids take me almost 40 hrs of my "free" time to complete. The intros alone take me one day. lol. #puroonemanband.
Well its time consuming but its all worth it man. Keep those videos coming man. Can't wait to see it. Stay Safe boss
FISH 2 LIVE thank you and tight lines 🎣
love padre island and port aransas tx
It was a great place to isolate. 🎥🎬👍🏽
Enjoy it while you can . The new head ranger at Pins has shut down the turtle rescue program and now it is said he is trying to shut down the beach to vehicle traffic.
I’m sure the public would like to know the reasoning behind that. Maybe the ranger can focus up on the serious impact of the trash/plastic plaguing PINS. Just my shallow and short sighted opinion I guess.
@@CoastalGX there is alot of trash left on pins by tourist and visitors but the majority of it washes ashore from Mexico and ships dumping trash. What they are planing will shut down access of the majorty of the beach to everyone. Remember that is a national park and property of the people...
Happy Belated Birthday Rob.
Thanks, tocayo 🎥🎬🙏🏽
Good to see familiar faces
The usual suspects lol.
I’d like to join y’all next trip ! I haven’t been to South Padre Island since I was a kid. Like 30 years ago!
Joe Gonzales follow me at Coastal_gxspi on Instagram for announcements or shoot me a message. The island is magic!
How low did you pressure down?
Hi there; 20 psi.
I recently invested in a camp chef grill 90,000 btus works great out at PINS. Used at PINS first weekend of october. Something you might want consider ? My wife and I take it every time we go camping or fishing.
Luis Ortega I think you’re right on. I was looking at those camp chef products. I will do some research. Thank you!
@@CoastalGX I would recommend getting the accessories that dont come with it just look and see what might work for you. My friends and I make it down to PINS from San Antonio at least twice a year once in April and another in October. been doing it for alost twenty years Grill was one of my better investments, and thanks on the recommendation on the tent !
The Coleman two burner just wasn’t enough and those extra BTU’s should help. My wife just ordered me a charcoal grill from Pampered Chef so I will see how that works out for dinner stuff. I don’t want to take a lot of crap though.
friendly shout - if you're music was just a tiny bit quieter it would make this old person happy lol. great stuff otherwise!
I’m sorry about the audio levels. Until recently, I started paying closer attention to that detail and I have indeed lowered the music levels. I was getting carried away in my earlier videos 😂🎥
Dude great video! Been wanting to go do PINS. Looking forward to going from El Paso.
My buddy, Gabriel drove all the way down!! He’s the guy in the grey GX. The trip is doable and worth it.
@@CoastalGX yeah i trailed with Gabe aka Luthor. I didnt realize he did this trip until i watched the video.
Southwest Overland bro, you gotta join him next time!
@@CoastalGX for sure , sounds like a plan!!!
That cold front ruined everything..
Yeah bro!!! I was very concerned about the awning and just happy Tre had that fire going.
But the day after that weather cleared up and it was gorgeous all weekend! If you can't take rain, you don't get the sun! 🌄😎🌊
Do you go camping to other places other than the beach? Im trying to find other places in South Texas I can go to other than the beach.
I’ve tried Falcon State Park and that really nice in cooler weather. We are also going to Big Bend in January so I will let you know how that goes. I just live the coast though. 👍🏽🎥🎬
@@CoastalGX yeah the beach is nice but camping in sand is a hassle. I went camping for a couple of days next to the Frio River in Concan Tx we had a blast but that is a little too north for me to frequently be going there. I want something closer to home so I will look into that park.
I live in corpus is that boarder check coming into corpus or is it going onto padre island
It’s the BP checkpoint known as the “Falfurrias Checkpoint” and impacts people leaving the Rio Grande Valley north of Edinburg. Not a factor if you are driving from the north.
I plan to go during Thanksgiving. From what I heard is the dredging process by the US Army Corps started back in September and is expected to last til March 2021.
Can you see South Padre Island Jettie from 59.5 mile marker?? Can you hike along on the sand dune to the PINS jettie?? Did you come close to using any extra fuel on your GX?
You can see the jetties from the barricade but you will get stopped by dredging employees if you cross and hike. One of them came up to one of our guys and was very friendly while reminding us it wasn’t allowed. My GX used less than half a tank. I topped off at Flour Bluff just to be safe and took an extra 5 gallons. If you go exploring Yarbrough Pass or just go screwing around up and down, you will need the extra fuel. I just drove up to 59.5 and camped at around mm58.5. I returned with plenty of gas. 👍🏽🎥🎬
@@CoastalGX if you returned with more than half tank. I don't think extra 5 gallon fuel is necessary at all... You can see the PINS jettie but can you also see South Padre Island from the barricade as well?
@@prandomable you can't see SPI. You can see the jetties on the P.I.N.S. side only. The extra fuel is in case you want to go exploring or if you bring a gasoline generator like I did. Also, this was our first time, so we didn't know how our fuel performance was going to be. We were playing it safe.
@@CoastalGX that is unfortunated. If they haven't block off the last half mile you will be able to see South Padre Island from PINS jettie's.
Nice GX u got there! I’m from Chicago, we’re thinking to take young kids to the Padres island for couple days possible renting a camping trailer, I got a LX470 with KO2, and possible a subie outback tagging along with street tires, what do you think driving down to the south side beach 🏖 on those cars with kids in a week in March? Thx man😄
I love those LX’s!! Both of those vehicles are more than capable out there. Make sure you check the weather if you’re driving on the beach. A rogue cold front and high tides will make for a nasty surprise. There is limited to no cell phone service out there so make sure you’re self reliant. Take a tow rope and a little shovel just in case. Buy a battery charger and take a first aid kit. Keep a close eye on the babies cause the currents are treacherous and some people drive like idiots along the beach. I’m happy for you and I know the trip will be memorable for sure!
@@CoastalGX thanks for those great tips and info! 😁
@@CoastalGX @252K miles it’s still drives, so I’m not complaining 😉
You lost 16lbs in two weeks ... congratulation !!!!
That keto is working out for me. Loving the help from www.themenclinic.com
Any tips for a Solo first time camper...I have an F150 it's not 4x4 tho...it is a 5L V8 tho!..any recommendations will do please and thank you!
Sure thing; keep it close to the entrance and take a shovel and tow strap in case you need to get pulled out. Don’t make sharp turns in the deep/soft sand. Monitor weather before you camp out. Remember, if you’re in a risky situation, lower down your tire pressure.
@@CoastalGX thanks for the tips!
@@CoastalGX I think I stay away from the beach for now and stick to the lakes and watering holes our hill country have to offer!
@@shadowclanbizz6290 both places bring us happiness and that’s all that matters. Thanks for watching!
Most of that garbage is what washes up from the ocean
Yes, in that area it’s pretty clear since it’s isolated. Most of the people who make the effort to reach the isolated place are conscientious. 🎥🎬👍🏽
What’s the boarder check?
Bayside? As u goo further north passed the convention center
No. I know where you’re talking about, but I’ve never stayed there. Might be something to look into. 👍🏽
U do any kayak
Frank Cabrera no. I just sold my solo skiff.
I would like too go on the Bayside and camp but not sure if it's possible .want too avoid getting in trouble .I would love too camp there cause there is not much sand.not saying that I do not like the beach but to get sand in ur tent nombre no
Hey GX have u camped on the bayside?
Not yet. Have you? If so, how was it?
No I have not
Look nice and peaceful outhere but not sure if one can camp there
Wait a minute.....where's the rest?
The other nights lol
Upload please lol
I’m trying to pace out the trip; otherwise it would be crazy long. 24 minutes is already a long video and I cut out tons of stuff. It’s difficult making “digestible” YT videos 😂
@@CoastalGX that's one thing that keeps me from narratives in videos lol 😂 ey man so is your trip already over?
Because I was trying to figure out if you drove back to upload then headed back out or what because of signal / internet
Either way man happy you came to our side
Maybe one day it'd be cool to see you
Really cool stuff...great wholesome promos on the bags and the seasoning...
Idk if I told you but I sold my truck for a gannet pro plus....a 100% water proof sand proof fishing drone capable of dropping some heavy baits...it's pre order so waiting on it still....but can't wait to take it to seashore
What kind of bag is hanging off the back?
It’s a “Trasharoo” and it can save you from a stinky situation as you’re hauling your trash away from camp.
amzn.to/32796BT
What check points?
Must be new?
We live in the Rio Grande Valley and there are two Border Patrol checkpoints that lead away from the border in Falfurrias and Sarita.
Could a standard GX make it out there?
Yes sir!!! No problem at all. I will be creating a video on that topic soon.
Made it to mile 33 in a 2wd Tundra, but I would recommend 4wd past that. There are many areas where you have to go back and forth across 12" to 18" sand berms.
I have been to mile 60 in a completely stock 4wd Xterra on street tires though.
