The difference between overlanding and backpacking is the amount of wine you can bring. Your production values have really improved in the last 8 months or so! Keep up the good work!
Astonishing scenery, your family in tow, crazy weather, steaks on the grill...........and WINE!!! I'm in!! Vids looking really slick, can see the progression over the last 7-8 months. Loving the work, keep it up!!
Inspirational as always! Great storytelling, and I admire your commitment to family. Traveling with the kids is such a blast at times, their sense of exploration sometimes cannot be matched.
We drove into Dath Valley on the 31st too. Crazy winds to say the least. Your video makes me wish I had stayed an extra day and explored a bit more. Can't wait to see part two.

Thanks for the work you put into these videos. I really enjoy seeing y'alls adventures. Your channel has been an inspiration to me, in the way you feature your family and in the way you do your narration.
How about you mama how did you sleep. THE LOOK OF HER FACE I couldn't stop laughing. I spilled my coffee laughing so hard. Awesome video from an awesome adventurist family. Thanks for sharing
Don't say Jeep and fire in the same sentence! Chrysler has a huge problem with Jeep's bursting into flames and has paid out many millions in wrongful death lawsuits.
Excellent video! We encountered the same kind of winds at Nordkapp Norway last summer, we didn't sleep a wink all night listening to the rain fly flutter in the wind. A few times it felt as if the Land River lifted. 😳 After that trip we now carry a spare tent in a storage box for extreme weather conditions where the rooftop tent would be hopeless for anything resembling sleep. Knock on wood we've not used it yet. 😉
+tukocan Thanks so much for watching! Any type of tent and high winds is a rough combination. Now that we've tested the 23 Zero is 80+ mph winds we will sleep a lot better with the help of some ear plugs! Just the fear of damage kept me awake in the past, but now I can sleep ok since I don't have to worry about that.
Your videos are seriously on point. They remind me of the early Expedition Overland videos. Great narration too! My one rec would be to use less zoom in and out, it gives it a 90's feel which I'm not sure you're going for?
Great video, very interesting and informative . Most importantly a good spirit and nice tone to your video. What camera did you use for your videoing? Tks for sharing
+Timothy Gerdes No you can run relatively low pressures as long as you are mindful of a few things. Here's an article we just re-released on the subject: www.lifestyleoverland.com/deflating-overland-travel-2018/
Nicely done, once again :) What I find amazing is that you actually should get any thumbs down... baffled by it. Keep up the great work and thank you once again for sharing your family's adventures!
I've been noticing this. I think there are tormented people trolling on YT that thumb down just to make themselves feel powerful. My guess is that they've never camped at a KOA, much less overland. Great video, great life.
Question Guy's......My wife and I are building our long bed Ford F350 with Topper Camper in the bed to do exactly the same thing as you are doing (minus TH-cam). It occurred to us that on occasion we might want a little air conditioning in the back in certain situations but are not finding much of use on the subject. What do ya'll think about the subject?
That's really a tough one. I've heard of a few people running very small portable units but just keep in mind that an AC is going to suck power really hard. You would probably want to carry a generator and install an RV style AC in the roof of the topper. Anyone else feel free to chime in if you have a better option here.
Not a generator noise fan and way to much power needed for normal AC's as you know. I'm starting to think that we need to just get out there and absorb necessary learning but being a retired Coastie and boat cap'n my mentality is to plan survival of whatever I sail into... How hot does it actually get most nights in the regions you are following? Will fans do the job or is it actually cold at night in many of these places? I'm going northern states and mid west first chasing trout streams. Great videos by the way. Some of the best out there and we dig watching your girl grow as our son did on our sailboat!
+tseng jessica The teardrop trailers are made of plywood and glue so they can't hold up to the torture we put them through. The Turtleback Trailer is made of welded steel and aluminum so they can handle the roughest trails for years to come. Plus, the tear drops have less storage and can feel like a coffin. I'll take the occasional windy night 😉
Great production. One comment, the owner of Turtleback needs to stay on the trail. That was not part of the trail, its abuse like that that can cause the NPS to close Echo Canyon (one of my favorite trails), please let him know that. Carry on...
Lifestyle Overland I've been in your shoes. We resorted to the truck because of the wind. I got to listen to my wife and kid snore as I tried to sleep.

+dahveed284 Very true! Thanks for the feedback!
I'm glad you record your daughter's reactions. My teenage boys need some encouragement to be advenutous sometimes.
Crazy wind! Great video as usual! Looking forward to part 2.

Thanks for the work you put into these videos. I really enjoy seeing y'alls adventures. Your channel has been an inspiration to me, in the way you feature your family and in the way you do your narration.
+Brad Hicks Thanks so much. These types of comments are exciting for us and keep us motivated to keep building content. Thanks for watching!

Good episode. Looking forward to the next.
+Adventures in Overlanding Thanks! Next one won't be long...
O man your daughter is precious....
Thanks, she sure is!

+Emilio It's pretty awesome!

Another great adventure m8! Congrats
+crazy bastrd Thanks!
Great videos. I'm actually building my own trailer modeled off of a Turtleback.
+Summer Lofn Thanks for watching! Good luck with the build!
Great video, and looking forward to the next.
Nice outgoing music too, reminds me of Malcolm Young from AC/DC.
+Corey Tando Thanks, Corey! Love that tune myself 😎
Great job, nice video.
+Drive The Globe Thanks!
Looking forward to part 2
+Jonathan Suitter Thanks for watching!
Very pleasant vidéo as usual....
+Thin Thread Advised Thanks so much!
Like ur channel.BTW,what's name of ur rear bumber?And how can i get it. Thx

+Pixel Press Digital Thanks for watching and the feedback. You make a good point...
Great video!
+dGriggs Thanks!
Great video. Great family! You all do an awesome job. What are you using for your main filming camera?
+Blueline Overland Thanks so much! We use a Canon XA30 camcorder and love it.
Lifestyle Overland thanks!
Great Job!
+fjduner Thanks so much, bud. Miss you already. Rest in peace 😥
What overland trails do you recommend over the winter months?
+Jack Couldrey This is the season for desert travel! Mojave Road, Death Valley, Big Bend are all great areas.
Great video, very interesting and informative . Most importantly a good spirit and nice tone to your video. What camera did you use for your videoing? Tks for sharing
+John Kaper Thanks! We use a Canon XA30 camcorder for most of the footage.
Thank you
Next time you're in Mojave desert you should pay a visit to Bickel camp if you haven't already.
good view camping.
+STYLE HUAHINONAIR Thanks for watching!
Do you have to have bead lock wheels when you air down so much?
+Timothy Gerdes No you can run relatively low pressures as long as you are mindful of a few things. Here's an article we just re-released on the subject: www.lifestyleoverland.com/deflating-overland-travel-2018/
Nicely done, once again :) What I find amazing is that you actually should get any thumbs down... baffled by it. Keep up the great work and thank you once again for sharing your family's adventures!
+Stuart Pocock Thanks for watching! Not sure why the thumbs down... can't make everyone happy!
I've been noticing this. I think there are tormented people trolling on YT that thumb down just to make themselves feel powerful. My guess is that they've never camped at a KOA, much less overland. Great video, great life.
How much water can you carry with the turtleback on a trip like this?
+Bryan Nelson It holds 42 gallons in the main tank and 6 more gallons in the water heater... So plenty!
Question Guy's......My wife and I are building our long bed Ford F350 with Topper Camper in the bed to do exactly the same thing as you are doing (minus TH-cam).

Trials frontier music in the beginning (1:25)
Good route.
Might make that area a possible trip (from ohio) one day. Looked like a nice easy backwoods scenic drive.
+maxst2 Death Valley is a must see!
Spare gas tank set in the rear is just asking for trouble. First thing to get punctured in a rearend collision.
Please help with advice! What's your take on 23Zero RTT vs. CVT RTT?
Shoot us an email and we will share our insight with you.
Now that's what I call camp cookin'
Have u thought about getting a teardrop trailer ?
+tseng jessica The teardrop trailers are made of plywood and glue so they can't hold up to the torture we put them through.

I'll take the occasional windy night 😉
and wine!
+Asa Fields 🤣
Going there early next year, would love to take a turtle with me for camping
+John Chen Awesome! The Turtleback changes the game, we highly recommend them 😉
Nice
C4 bumper? Looks good
+A K It's a Southern Style Off-road bumper actually.
Great production. One comment, the owner of Turtleback needs to stay on the trail. That was not part of the trail, its abuse like that that can cause the NPS to close Echo Canyon (one of my favorite trails), please let him know that. Carry on...
LOL! Best Western. That's what my wife would vote for.
+Stroker Ace I still get reminded of that... Sometime a hotel is needed 😎
Lifestyle Overland I've been in your shoes. We resorted to the truck because of the wind. I got to listen to my wife and kid snore as I tried to sleep.
eh 30k for this trailer. can you say hipster markup?
