    I knew the GFCs days were numbered. They’re great, but very bare bones and your rig is getting pretty fancy.
    Did awesome on the rocks! Great video. 👍

      Exactly. They serve a very good purpose, tough and light weight but yes very simple.
      Thanks for checking it out. Was a lot of fun.

    We're excited to see which directions you go! Our first guess would be an AluCab Cabin, second guess would be a Scout Slide in. No matter which direction you go we'll be coming along for the journey.
    Great trip!

    Alu Cab w/ full goose gear setup is my guess! Awesome video!

    Insane to think people did these types of journey trekking on foot or on horses! So dope

      That is just totally nuts. Literally risking their life to make it across this desert. No wonder they use to dye by the age of 40.

    Good stuff, man! When you were preparing to go through those tight spaces and said "This could be fun," all I heard was "I hope I don't f*%k up the GFC!" And for the record, I'm the FIRST VIEW!!

    • @prospectoverland

      Haha that was forsure on my mind especially when we got to some trees. Didn’t want any scratches!

    Really enjoyed this video man...We did Lippincott going down and man, it's gnarly. Can't imagine going up it. Saline Valley is another area I want to go back and explore more.

    Great video! Looking forward to your next episode to see what you get. I’m guessing it’s gonna be a truck camper.

    • @prospectoverland

      Thanks for checking it out. The trip was a lot of fun. Your guess is certainly in the right direction…not a full camper though.

    You guys got SUPER lucky with weather. Attempted to do a similar route a month prior and got rained/snowed/hailed/wind out on the first day/night. Will attempt it again next time! Looking forward to the new setup. My guess is a Project M FWC

    • @prospectoverland
      @prospectoverland  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah we definitely were shooting to find the sweet spot of temps before it got to hot. I think the late April and early may options are the best. We did similar dates two years earlier and worked out well also….and that’s a pretty solid guess, FWC makes a a cool camper.

    That taco meal is Keto AF. Amazing views in DV!

    • @prospectoverland
      @prospectoverland  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nice eye…sure is. Almost all our meals are. Maybe not strict keto but at least low carb and low or no sugar.

    Lots of adventure videos thru DVNP, yours is certainly one of them. I'd suggest a public service to all prospective adventurers/visitors/viewers of your channel, indicating they should read the rules and regulations and know them and follow them. It's one thing for visitors to enjoy a trip thru DVNP, but when the many many videos are posted, those videos should be 100% by the rules. Your friend brought the pup, and it is okay to bring pups, but they are allowed on paved roads and in your campsite, but not on any trail, and not unleashed. It's a minor detail, but it's on the tube for all to see. I enjoyed watching your video!

    What kind of mpg do you get with your gfc?

    • @prospectoverland
      @prospectoverland  ปีที่แล้ว

      10.5 but I don’t think the GFC had a ton to play. I think it’s that my truck is 8600 lbs on 37’s lol.

      My 2020 tundra is stock with all season tires.
      The GFC knocked me down to about 16mpg hwy from about 18 hwy.
      Not bad at all imo.
