You tell such a great story not only through the lens of the camera but with an admiration for nature and its creativity to survive. You and your cameras are the eyes for the adventurous. Well done and kudos to the drone footage!
We drove less than 100 miles on interstate during our trip to and from Alaska this summer! Even a trip of 5000 miles each way can be enjoyed by slowing down!
We made it down that road this summer, I hadn't been down it in probably 10 years. Super awesome spot, I'm planning on taking the Arkansas Off-Road Recovery tow truck down there and working on some of the downed trees/bypasses. Those holes filled with water are sand pits where side-by-sides have driven in circles and wallowed them out, they were dry back in the summer.
Thanks for the awesome video, Matt. It's helping me get through this ICU stay and def lifting my spirits. Great video and thanks again for sharing with us.
You have the best videos hands down! Great channel keep up the great work. I live vicariously thru your videos while I'm stuck in the office. Thanks for what you do!
We really appreciate the time and effort that you put into each video. It is very inspiring . For many years we have been exploring the Ouachita Mountains in our Jeeps . You could call us Glampers because we base camp out of a Motorhome :) . You have inspired us to consider doing a little bit of tent camping while on the trail . Seeing your setup , we believe it will be easy to organize our 2004 LJ to accommodate the necessary gear for one or two nights on the trail . Hopefully we'll be in your neck of the woods in 2024 , every time we planned to come up this year something came up and we had to cancel our trips . Louisiana doesn't have any mountains , therefore I've been a huge fan of Arkansas for many years . Ya'll take care , keep having fun and maybe some day we'll see you out on the trails .
Those little pond areas are just donut spots for 4wheelers one of my favorite spots to ride about 20 years ago. Love seeing my old hot spots on here everything from White Oak to Pilot Rock
I’m trying to plan a trip to So Illinois for the eclipse but everything is booked. There’s a lot of places in Arkansas and this video makes me want to go there instead. Arkansas looks a lot like So Illinois. I love forests like that. I live in Colorado now. I’m blessed. Thanks for your videos!!!😊
Hi Matt, I hope all is well with you and family. I really enjoyed the video.I Loved the landscape and the trails. Just amazing content. Thank you so very much for sharing. I look forward to more and more adventures from you. Thank you.
Great video bud. Just got my first jeep this year. I plan and hope to be trailing in Missouri here in a few years. Gotta get some basics together first.
We camped at the 2nd spot you found on the piney on our 6 day trip down there this spring. The sandy spot you camped at, there was barely room for 1 rig. We did have several aggressive pigs trying to push us out of our camp spot. Another great video.
I grew up riding motorcycles in Mark Twain national Forest. Ya might want to leave the forest to the deer hunters during deer season. Definitely don't bother them. We all need to have fun together. I know that's what we all did growing up. The Ozarks are absolutely beautiful in the fall!
Wow, what a great video and great scenery. You always have such cool videos, but there was something about this one in this area, you were right..... Thanks for sharing and great editing and great footage.
❤❤ great video Matt. I recently did a weekend with a group. New concept for myself as I’m a pretty lone wolf kinda overlander. I had a blast at the slower pace. Had to stop and enjoy the areas as we waited for rigs to go over obstacles. Definitely need to try that bespoke post.
Careful now, for the second time in as long as I've watched your vids (~4 years now), @26:12 you make a proper overlander's decision. Which was to avoid the yawbo's route and play it safe and secure. THAT is what separates the amateurs from the seasoned vets of adventure travel. (or, what separates the "send it" crowd from the overlander crowd) About time. And well done.
it seems like every trail I get on I come to a road closed or something, it got to the point to where I just pretty much stopped looking for new trails or what have you, not to say that I do not venture out and try to spot them . I would like to come join you all on a trip sometime but IDK if my old ranger would make the trip
Can your Bluetooth AC180 start your Vevor diesel heater using the car plug? I’m asking because most diesel heaters require at startup 9-11 amps to heat the glow plug. Most all diesel heaters have a 12v 10amp regulated car socket falling short of 11 amps.
Can I just say, when you came accross the "ponds" in this video I was really hoping you would flash back to one of my favorate OG scenes where you totally sunk your Wrangler in what looked like a very innocent mud puddle :)
Hey Matt! I’m sure you’ve answered this before, but what brand is the tailgate cover you’re using to cook on? I’m looking at getting one for my RAM. Thanks!
great hidden sports to camp! spot 1 looked like 5-7 rigs could fit, in a pinch..but spot 2, and 3, holy cow, quite a few rigs could camp there...! (like you said depending on water levels ) hint hint patreon weekend in the future.... hope that guy in the red gladiator wasn't the reason you needed to leave early...
Another great video.... and advice Matt. I was wondering if you use any footage in your videos from your dash cam since you installed it? I was able to get that same dash cam on Amazon during their Black Friday sales. I look forward to installing it soon. Thank you.
I've actually used a couple clips from it recently. One was a short clip of a bear running across the road. I had just turned my gopro off but got it with the dash cam and used it in the video.
Love all the content Matt and love seeing you guys together trailing. I’m curious about the star link system and was wondering what one to get or how to get it? Thank you again
I love watching your Ozarks videos. Looks like a great place to explore. What is that squeaking on your jeep? I’ve been hearing that for a while now in your videos. Is that the Clayton suspension?
I like your gladiator and I am thinking about getting one. Is it ok on fuel mileage and I would like to fix me one up like your if it is possible I would like to see the inside of yours and I love watching y’all’s videos and to see goose
Matt, Great video…notice you don’t use your kitchen slide much. Thoughts? I’ve seen the OVS one and have thought about possibly getting one, but might be going a different direction in the future.
did you ever mention or detail the repairs needed after Pritchett? seems like you got back on the road quickly. I know that was months ago, but it just came to mind.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures the Ozarks in general is very Outdoorsy for Fishing and Hunting. Bentonville is turning into a mountain biking mecca I wish one of the states would put more effort into the overland crowd.
Im suprised you never been dwn there ive always herd tht area called the sand bowl,s when i was about 13 there use to be a big 8 track there but i was told a kid got killed & the forestry flattend it out since then the atv’s & ohv,s have made the bowls by spinning donuts in the sand
Great video as usual! Do you have a video where you go over your camera gear, software, or process that you use to create these wonderful videos? If not, would you mind telling us? I can tell that a lot of effort goes into them! Thank you!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures What kind of mount is that in the center of your dash on the right side at 47:42 that is empty? Is is for a GoPro? Thank you!
Hi Matt, just to let you know, I have to resubscribe on a regular basis. it's to the point that every time I watch one of your awesome videos I check to make sure I'm still subscribed. Not sure why this is happening. Just a heads up.
Can you enlighten us on that . I've searched the US Forest service for this info but all I can find is that the MVUM is what law enforcement uses and it can change yearly . I do not have a physical copy of the map , does it indicate something different than the Forestry website ?

Love the video man. Some talking, some ASMR, drone shots. These little adventures are some of my fav videos of yours.
Another great video Matt! I love watching these videos while I’m on my indoor training bike. The drone shots were really awesome!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
At 5:57 that tree that's actually pretty cool have it passed been sitting here staring at it I love how it goes into the road
Thanks for the awesome video, Matt.
It's helping me get through this ICU stay and def lifting my spirits.
Great video and thanks again for sharing with us.
Yea the camp on that loop has been my favorite spot in the ozarks. Holds water year around and is a fantastic swimming spot!

Man i really do enjoy your content. The way u approach it all is really refreshing. Lots of great spots to see too. Keep it up and be safe!
Those little pond areas are just donut spots for 4wheelers one of my favorite spots to ride about 20 years ago. Love seeing my old hot spots on here everything from White Oak to Pilot Rock
26:20 Those looks like Billabongs- ponds left behind when high water recedes. At least that is what the Aussies call them!
Matt the begining drone shot of you by the fire and water is like something out of movie!!!Epic !
Thanks!!
The best part of any Friday is when Matt posts a new video! I hope you’re doing well my dude.
Thanks!!! Doing great.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures happy to hear bromigo!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I don’t know if this can ever happen, but I sure would love to go wheeling with you guys one of these days.

With that kind of waterfall addiction you should an Iceland trip. Most awesome landscape I have ever seen.

Great video, Matt! Huge fan from Tennessee ! Dig the shoes!
I've been thinking about getting bespoke post. Now I'm gunna have to get it!!

Thank you very much!
17 psi sounds good on the tires. I like odd numbers on radio volume as well 😜
Great video! The second trail you turned on off 123 has some really cool stuff if you park and wander around on foot.
We've encountered that spot with all the water holes before after alot of rain. Very fun, very tricky, and very muddy.
Some of these trails would be good for the "cold Water" Run....Beautiful Spots for sure!
That's the plan!
Such gorgeous scenery curious if you’ve ever gotten up calico rock area friend of mine of 55 years lives near there,great stuff as always 👍👍👍
Phenomenal drone work Matt!
We just got back from Merus. It is amazing.
NICE spot!!! Okay the round “ponds” those are bowl’s they are created by atv’s and side by side’s doing circles.
Interesting!!!
It is a great swimming hole. Was just there last 4th of July.

Great video! Where can I get one of those chairs? Thanks
You see a spot for paddle boards. I see a great fishing hole. Haha
Another great video Matt

I learned my lesson then. LOLOL.
Awesome!! Matt.
you guys have turned off roading and "jeeping" into an art form. keep up the good work!
Thanks!!!
I would love to rockhound some of those gravel bars you were on. What kind of rocks are there? Any calsedoniyes? Jasper? Agates?

What raod was this with the waterfall? Are there GPX files for the routes you take?
How was the bird call?
No birds came. 😂 but pretty cool.
Love all the content Matt and love seeing you guys together trailing. I’m curious about the star link system and was wondering what one to get or how to get it? Thank you again
We have the basic RV setup and data plan. Works great for what we do.
I love watching your Ozarks videos. Looks like a great place to explore.
What is that squeaking on your jeep? I’ve been hearing that for a while now in your videos. Is that the Clayton suspension?
Beautiful area!
I like your gladiator and I am thinking about getting one. Is it ok on fuel mileage and I would like to fix me one up like your if it is possible I would like to see the inside of yours and I love watching y’all’s videos and to see goose
Great sites for camping. Since you like the rivers as much as you do, do you do any fishing while overnighting?
Looks like this could become an Ozark Overland private reserve trail
Amazing video
Thanks!
I have a Ford F250 4x4 crew cab 8 foot bed, so it's big. I have a question for you. Are there any easy trails in the Ozarks for this big truck?
Yes there are plenty of easy trails in the Ozarks.
So strange watching your videos me being a native of Oregon, not seeing any evergreens. Great videos, keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!!
Cool campsite.
where did u get those new tail lights instead of mopar big tail lights
They are Oracle. I’ve had them for a year and a half.
Nice work!
Thanks!
Matt, Great video…notice you don’t use your kitchen slide much. Thoughts? I’ve seen the OVS one and have thought about possibly getting one, but might be going a different direction in the future.
It’s very handy. I just don’t use it much when I’m solo. I’m about to switch to a different slide so see how I like it.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Cool look forward to it!
Really enjoyed your video. Is this on the Big Piney River in Southern Missouri?
It's in Arkansas
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Thanks
did you ever mention or detail the repairs needed after Pritchett? seems like you got back on the road quickly. I know that was months ago, but it just came to mind.
It was just a broken U Joint so removing the axle shaft got me home easily and a simple axle shaft replacement fixed everything.
Hey Matt - What flat pack fire pit are you using in this video? Can you cook on it?
It's by LifeDoo. It doesn't come with a cooking grate but I'm sure you could. Otzi Grill makes one with a cooking grate that works great.
Missouri gets a bad name because of St. Louis. But I believe it is one of the most beautiful states around. Awesome video.
This is Arkansas
Have you guys done an Ozarks trails top 5? Looking for the best trails in the area.
We have not. We don’t have named trails like they have out west so it’s difficult to just do forest service numbers.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures the Ozarks in general is very Outdoorsy for Fishing and Hunting. Bentonville is turning into a mountain biking mecca I wish one of the states would put more effort into the overland crowd.

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures What kind of mount is that in the center of your dash on the right side at 47:42 that is empty? Is is for a GoPro? Thank you!
You've really stepped up the drone shots. They look great. Are you still using the DJI Mavic Air 2?
Thanks!! I've got the Mavic 3 Pro now and love it!!
What tra8l number is that?
PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 CANT WE STAY JUST A LITTLE LONGER?????? Please??????
😂😂😂
I can't believe you have never been down there.
I KKOW!!!!
We still have another another 5 days lol

whats that rattling noise???
sway end link had a bad bushing. Putting new ones on tomorrow.
Need to make some six lugs for toyota. Miss you Brittany 😅
Huh?
If you ever need a camera man my gut let me know!
Kid in a candy store. Lol.
👍👍💯
The MVUM is the law, not signage. I’d have gone right past that sign and/or removed it and gone past.
I was wondering about that .
You are correct and wrong at the same time. You haven’t actually read the words on the MVUM have you?
Can you enlighten us on that . I've searched the US Forest service for this info but all I can find is that the MVUM is what law enforcement uses and it can change yearly . I do not have a physical copy of the map , does it indicate something different than the Forestry website ?
Go back to just giving the advertisers a nod at the beginning. Almost turned it off but just went and took a pee for the 5 min commercial portion.....
Win win. You get a pee break and I get to pay my bills.
