We went during the week in late Sept. and it wasn't too busy, but like you that was back when there were restrictions. Also in Sept. the waterfalls are dry. Riding bikes around the valley with my kids was a top 5 experience of my life and the whole family's favorite part of the whole 2 weeks we spent in California.
Hey man, it was truly awesome to meet and talk you today at the overland expo. Keep producing great quality content man! Glad I was able to grab one of those two feathers knives too!
Reservations at Cedar Grove Kings Canyon are a few years old now and not easy to get for last minute trip,, used to be 1st come. Stay on hwy 180 Kings Canyon Campground. Private campground!! $30 for RV with water and sewer! Can do hikes etc in Cedar Grove or drive back up to Grant Grove then over to Sequoia🌲
You don’t need to take Air Conditioner out to put microwave in its place. Just put a super small under 1000W microwave right over top of AC unit in that little cubby hole storage space. Would be perfect fit! AC is an absolute must on those 90+ degree days/nights lol.
what a surprise, where you camped is around where I camp too. I dont mention these places, im glad you didnt either. Nobody knows these areas and I like to keep it that way. Im always by myself there when I camp or ride sxs there.
"This is work". Was thinking about that at the beginning of this video as you set up a ton of shots driving out of that campsite. You make it look easy. Love your videos. I'm seriously looking at ordering up a Kimbo as well. Keep up the great work!
I live in Fresno, right on the border of Fresno/Clovis (sister cities) There are some very nice parts of town and some just down right shitty parts of town as well. Been to Yosemite prob 40-50 times and my favorite spot is probably Chilnualna Falls in southern Yosemite near Wawona. Amazing hike and waterfalls with very few people. Kings Canyon (down in the canyon) is also another amazing place to camp with not nearly the crowds as Yosemite gets but it’s absolutely gorgeous down there. So easy to find spots where nobody else is along the Kings River and have it all to yourself. Actually headed there with my family tomorrow.
PLEASE REVIEW THE VERTX ROVER!! I can’t find any reviews and it looks perfect for my needs. In your leisure of course. Thanks for the sick reviews bro. Keep ‘em coming!
Couldn’t you just upgrade the suspension on the van too to beef up the ride quality? Or will it always not be as good as the taco due to it’s size? Genuine question
Need to stop watching yours and LLOD’s channel. I keep buying shit based on your reviews! Vertx, Olight, LLOD holster, now a Tacoma. No regrets with anything I’ve purchased because of your videos but every time I watch one of yours or Mike’s videos, I see something I “need”. All else aside, I find cool stuff in your videos and more practical stuff on LLOD. It’s a good balance. Great video as always, man.
I live in Groveland and presuming you took HWY 120, I’m guessing you were camping pretty close to me! I’d love to know where that first campground was if it’s in the area.
Another great video. Ha ha. We love the lunchables. Pizza, ham&chedder. My wife is enjoying the hike and drive. She ask about the hike if you guys ran into bears. I think could years back we stayed in Fresno. I think we stayed close by to the Telsla factory. Anyway be safe you both. And Aloha
I live in Mariposa which is just down Hwy 140 from Yosemite. I saw this rig rolling around. I think the rig is overkill for such an accessible park as Yosemite, but for hard to reach places I could see a Kimbo being a great rig to survive and thrive.
What kind of MPGs you seeing with your setup? Get about 12-14 with my northern lite/ram 3500 Cummins setup. Not great, but I do weigh 13,000 lbs and have the aerodynamics of a 12x8x20 flying brick…so I guess that’s not too bad. Also, I’m sure you’re aware but some may not be: if you’re going to dump your grey water in the forests, be aware that that may attract unwanted guests. Especially up here in Montana, Idaho, and farther north. 🐻
Ashlee maybe you can work on your junior ranger badges in your passport book of all the national park! Thought you might be able to answers on test they have. Then see if Talon can answer then?
Serious question, has the Tacoma at all seemed like a bad decision? Just because it’s so small? Could have had like a tundra or other full size with tons more room!
Love seeing you pass through California. Yeah Yosemite is always full of people but sequoia is much better in my opinion. If you get the chance, you should try to hike morro rock in sequoia and the meadows there or the big trees trails that branch off to Congress trail. Those are personally my favorite on the south edge
Definitely right about vans. Not off road worthy! Noisy rattle traps! no matter the price point. Four wheel sprinters are just adequate on paved snow covered roads! trucks rock. Sprinters are proof you can sell ice to eskimos! They will all be worth pennies on dollar by end of 2022! Lol!
Agree..people suck. I was actually thinking the place was empty. I was there about 7 years ago and it was miserable. September, the falls were dry, the grass was knee high and as dead as Iv ever seen grass. People driving in circles looking to park. It took 30 minutes to get to and use that passport stamp. Zero space. 😖 I should have went 30 ago...
@6:12 - I used to use the phrase "got gyped" as a child. I realized it was a slur against a group of people (Gypsies) and decided there were other ways to express myself. Not saying you have to too, but thought maybe (like me) you just didn't realize.
I almost had to turn the channel when he started eating the pepperoni lunchable my stomach turned a little lol i wouldn't feed that shit to my child haha
I’ll DM you my contact info on IG, next time you’re in truckee I have a flat driveway on a quiet street you can park, and if I’m town I’ll show you some local wheeling spots. I have a 2nd gen long travel Tacoma 🍻
I never use “public” showers, barefoot… always use water shoes lol
Yes! Talon, your feet will fall off if you keep doing that.
Ring worm alert
You all must have a foot fetish. Go to my only fans for my ring worm content 👍🏻😂
@@TalonSei don’t be mad because we prefer delectable piggies.
I just want one video where you 2 are at each other’s throats hahaha. Such a an awesomely chill couple!
Dang in Fresno my hometown area. Would have loved to meet you!
The best lunchable is the nacho lunchable.
Love the kimbo content.
Can’t wait for the next vid!
4:27 Hey that's me, pretty much anytime I go anywhere. 😂
I cannot get enough of the Kimbo content!
Yeah Mark King should put Talon on the payroll lol. Lovin the Kimbo.
“Ur shit talking saty “ 😂😂Ashley is hilarious
I always like your videos buddy and yeah I agree with you I stay away from places like that when there’s a lot of people ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Love it … keep the Kimbo content coming …

You should throw in a couple of Ashley‘s pictures, as a photographer I’m curious what she’s taking.
Another great video to wrap up my week
Keep up the good work! really helps me get through the week

Great video. Loving all the uploads to. That Kimbo kamper is sweet.
I cant wait to walk into Yosemite Valley as i finish the John Muir Trail next year!!
Dude next time stay in Big Meadows, its in Sequioa National Park and its free dispersed camping with insane views! Sweet spot!
Looking up El Capitan is incredible. Crazy people climb that dude.
Too many people especially in nature gets annoying fast. Kimbo is looking 🔥 man!
what a surprise, where you camped is around where I camp too. I dont mention these places, im glad you didnt either. Nobody knows these areas and I like to keep it that way. Im always by myself there when I camp or ride sxs there.
You the man talon keep them vid running Ashligh is great to must be on vacation
Hey Talon what hiking boots 🥾 are those?
Thanks
yo what forest road is that? I've been wanting to explore near yosemite.
The karaoke story hahaha awesome!
"This is work". Was thinking about that at the beginning of this video as you set up a ton of shots driving out of that campsite. You make it look easy. Love your videos. I'm seriously looking at ordering up a Kimbo as well. Keep up the great work!
Kings canyon is my favorite go to spot. Hopefully I can make it this year
Hey whats your MPG like in that thing?

quinoa salad is really good on the road or pasta salad

Even the best of the best van Suspension wouldn’t compete with this tacoma suspension.
Headed to Yosemite today!
Looks like a killer trip.

Which one is more comfortable Van or Kimbo?

Lucky couple! Love the videos
My family and I are were there on May 3rd
Random question, but are you able to exit easily if someone closes your tailgate when you're sleeping?
not sure what he’s doing …I have a DIY cabover camper and I just put a lock🔒 on the tailgate hasp, no one can close the tailgate.
Do u plan on keeping the kimbo on full time ? Or only for your trip ?
Kimbo is winter setup only
As soon as you opened the pack, I’m like, where are the pepperonis!? Haha
Do the scenic drive in kings canyon if you get a chance. There’s nothing like it
Superb content as always, Talon! If you haven't already, are there plans to add a bug screen to the doorway area? Safe travels!
So question, when u pop in to places like California where do you hide your weapon?
I live in Mariposa which is just down Hwy 140 from Yosemite. I saw this rig rolling around. I think the rig is overkill for such an accessible park as Yosemite, but for hard to reach places I could see a Kimbo being a great rig to survive and thrive.
I didn’t build this for places like Yosemite. Watch some of the other videos in the truck playlist for examples.
New sub here. I like your stile guys. Keep it real and safe travels. 👊
..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
You messed up by not heating the lunchables up first. 😂
This mans started w a lifted cross trek and now look. Hot damn.

I live in oakhurst right near Yosemite

What if your sleeping and someone closes your tailgate?
Serious question, has the Tacoma at all seemed like a bad decision? Just because it’s so small? Could have had like a tundra or other full size with tons more room!
No. I don’t need much room. The tacoma is perfect and probably the best decision I’ve ever made.
It's not smacktalking, its proof of concept 😉 (Nice shirt, Ash!) Ooooph, that's way too peopley.
I'm from Fresno originally it does have some nice areas but if you were where I think you were? There is definitely nicer areas.
good kimbo ~

If you get the chance, you should try to hike morro rock in sequoia and the meadows there or the big trees trails that branch off to Congress trail. Those are personally my favorite on the south edge
Yosemite is much more then the valley and i would take any of that over sequoia anytime .
Have you had anything unusual happen to you in Yosemite? Like odd encounters with people or the paranormal?
cant believe you got jipped on the pepperoni!
Definitely right about vans. Not off road worthy! Noisy rattle traps! no matter the price point. Four wheel sprinters are just adequate on paved snow covered roads! trucks rock. Sprinters are proof you can sell ice to eskimos! They will all be worth pennies on dollar by end of 2022! Lol!
Go to Yosemite in the FALL!!!!!🍁🍂🍁🍂 Nobody is there.........
Add some chunky soups maybe

I’m as close to a modern day Gypsy as it gets so I’ll still use that term freely 😂
Cmon talon. RHODES. RHODES. RHODES!
Yosemite is sad to see now, the amount of people there makes it hard to really enjoy it
verygood private room
Bro there are no nice parts of Fresno
I almost had to turn the channel when he started eating the pepperoni lunchable my stomach turned a little lol i wouldn't feed that shit to my child haha
Well yeah! It's california!😝😝😝😝 liberal and over crowded!😝😝😝
