- This winter we decided we wanted to go somewhere new, and somewhere warmer. Big Bend National Park in the southwest of Texas fit the bill.

Dude on the horse just casually out in the boonies is gangster lol
You make the best over-landing videos I’ve seen so far. Editing, quality, pictures etc are always done in a high fashion.
nice #overland video
In spring everything blooms down there
I just realized why your name is Revere Overland. "The British are coming" 😁
You're the first person to pick up on that!
@@RevereOverland hi
@@RevereOverland heck yeah!
I knew he had an accent but could not place it!
Still salty about that.
Man I really like those Toyota Tundras
Was there last week. Did about 70 miles off road with my daughter.
I really enjoy your content, especially this one. Big Bend is my favorite place to visit.
Your videography is really excellent. Hard to find a channel with excellent diy projects and gear reviews that also puts out content that is so pretty and enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
I appreciate it!
@@RevereOverland just finished up a diesel heater build inspired by yours and will be camping tomorrow with it! Should make camping in Michigan more of a 4 season activity.
I went there late December and it was so hot during the day. Too funny, I didnt know it was illegal to buy the Mexican crafts....I put money in a jar for 2 hiking sticks! 😂
We didn’t know until after we left and I read about them in the park newspaper!
Great video
Nicely done. Again.
Next time you need to camp in the Chisos Mountain campground. The stars are unreal. Take a telescope or just watch satellites go by with the naked eye.
Absolutely love Big Bend! We try to visit once a year and have never gotten tired of it's rugged beauty.
Looks like a good time!
Very beautiful video. I have driven those offroads in Big Bend many times.
Beautiful
Nicely done! Enjoyed your music selections.
Man the quality of this video is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice. In 2013 we bought a house north of houston on a street named Santa Elena Canyon not knowing where the name came from. About a year later we took our RV and Jeep to Big Bend and stumbled across the gorge for which our street was named! Nice seeing it again in your video.. We need to revisit Big Bend.
Boyfriend and I did about 5 days of Big Bend over thanksgiving break. We were at Terlingua Ranch the night before going. We camped off Old Ore Rd mostly. Absolutely loved the views and the hiking. Beautifully done video!
Great video. This park is on my list now for sure. Thanks!!
That's good, it's well worth a visit!
Greetings from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, home of the New West 🇨🇦 The music at the beginning of the video is amazing! It fits the landscape perfectly as if I teleported there instantly. Thank you for the video! I wish I could visit this park sometime in the future. It looks like a mini Grand Canyon and it's hard to believe it's actually located in the state of Texas 👏
Great footage thanks for the details, I actually live in Texas but haven’t made it there for off road adventures. I’m planning a trip this year and got great inspiration from this. Thanks
Excited for the next episode. This felt like the best one yet!
His cinematography is great. Feels like an episode of a tv show.
wonderful! thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
Thank you!
Another excellent adventure/production! I’ve been sharing your videos with friends since I discovered your channel. Thank you for your efforts. 👍
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful camera shots! I enjoyed the video!
Nice job my friend!
Lol I speak Spanish... that last part was hilarious 🤣
I still don't know what he was saying to me! Lol!
@@RevereOverland lol
great video!
I've hiked up to Emory Peak and the Window Trail a couple times. Absolutely beautiful. My first time to see Bears in the wild. The hot springs were pretty relaxing. I still have so much I want to do there.
Beautiful!
Looked like a great trip!
It was!
One of first spots we want to try out when we finish our skoolie !
Great video buddy. We will be heading that way next week. 😁 can’t wait to get to some warmer and dryer weather.
Have fun!
Nice video, appreciate the production quality and commentary. I was thinking about making a trip to big bend soon and now you’ve convinced me!
PS great music choices
It's well worth a visit!
I recognize those trucks! We passed you guys going the opposite direction while you were headed to Ernst Tinaja on Old Ore Rd., I was with a couple of friends in my white Tacoma. Great video!
Well darn it, I was in Big Bend Ranch State Park across FM170 just west of BBNP. we held or annual Ultra trail run Saturday 1/16 (yesterday). we ran up into the caldera of the solitario and back out to Barton Warnock Visitors Ctr. in Lajitas. there is overloading opportunities here also. I enjoyed your vid
Here from the ValleyOfAwesome. You’re amazing 💪🏾🙌🏾
Kentucky to Big Bend is a trek. Love Big Bend. My favorite spot in Texas.
It was a long drive, but worth it!
One of my favorite National Parks. I typically go about two weeks a year.
We weren't expecting a whole lot, to be honest, but it is definitely one of my favorites now too!
Another great video
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your video very interesting to watch. I’d love to do this one day 👍👍
Th@s kool u have friends to back u up
Beautiful camera work!
Amazing...
god I hated driving on those roads haha.. so washboarded
We went to Big Bend last year in the fall and it was perfect outside. We also didn’t realize how massive or pretty Big Bend is.
Hey enjoyed
Thousands of thumbs up !!!
Been 8 times
Ernst tenajas awesome place
I went and camped in the basin with some of my college buddies early january after the big snowfall, did not reach above 32 degrees the whole trip. We were not prepared but stuck it out.
This is awesome, we were just there and camped for the last 5 days at Glen Springs 2 campsite. Unfortunately we didn't have the warm weather you had but it was a beautiful park to explore.
Nice! I saw that it snowed 1-2ft not long after we left!
@@RevereOverland Oh wow, we saw some snow on the mountains coming there. We are from New York and are surprised how cold it can get down here in TX.
@@RevereOverland when we were there🥶
I did black gap a few months back and I struggled for some reason, I see a lot of rigs and they just seem to walk up. Maybe my longer wheel base vehicle was the reason. Not sure
One of the most beautiful places! I go there for a week once a year, For the last 8 years. Still haven't seen everything. State park has harder trails btw
I did Big Bend solo for the Christmas weekend. Absolutely exceeded my expectations. I ran the whole of Old Ore Road, and actually like it more than Black Gap. It’s just as “technical” in spots, and there’s some incredible vistas. Hiking up into the Chisos was great too
Hi, I’ve never been and i have a question, do i need a reservation or permit to camp like he did on this video? Thanks
Texas¿ Wow¡ Great job¡ Looks like timing worked out better for you then others with the arrival of snow.
I think we got lucky! The week after they had a ton of snow.
BBNP is big and you need several days to see it. The first time we went was in February and if you like the Texas flower Bluebonnets, you will get to see a lot of them. I would recommend you checking out Big Bend Ranch State Park while you are there. It is bigger and less maintained. They also have Free Showers at the ranger station which were awesome! The drive from Study Butte to BBRSP is awesome as well. As usual, I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing, see you in NM! Be sure to check out the El Malpais National Monument near Grants. It's a lot of fun!
Definitely! We thought about going to BBRSP, but there are a few places my wife insisted on seeing (next episode) and limited time!
Going to Big Bend end of February
I'm from Texas currently spending most my time in Colorado. I have been living in my 4runner for over a year and would love to wheel with you sometime or just have a conversation!! You're videos give me so much inspiration in life.
My favorite National Park in the United States.
It’s got to be one of my favorites now too!
Great 👍
...as to the fairy lights on the front bumper, somewhere between, "That's kool!" and "What the hell?" Nonetheless, interesting. The roadrunner, most definitely, VERY KOOL! Thanks for sharing.
We were there right before Christmas!
Loved the video! Next time you get the chance, head over to the state park. No paved roads, and a few EXQUISITE campsites... I recommend Guale 2 and Pila Montoya 3 personally.
I heard good things, but we didn't have time. Gotta save something for next time!
Subbed!
Your videos are way better then LLOD!!
We had plans to head down there right after Christmas. Instead we headed over to Canyonlands NP to photograph it covered in several inches of fresh snow. Those seventy degrees days sound a bit more tolerable than the zero degrees we dealt with. But the sun did shine .... Nice work!
I'd love to see Canyonlands and Moab in the snow!
Lost Arrow Overland, Big Bend actually got 18” of snow on NYE! Pretty crazy.
@@JordanWHammons I had read that on our way home. Another rare opportunity missed.
Looks like I missed you all by a couple of days, I camped in Glenn Springs my first night and it was perfect. Thanks for showing the area way better than my few videos and photos do. Not much 4wd action in the park, but happy the trails keep the backcountry pretty empty.
It's a great spot! I agree, not much 4wd stuff, but still worth spending some time there!
@@RevereOverland absolutely, no matter where you look it is beautiful.
That is a great part of the country for exploring in the winter. We lived in Texas for 15 years and spent alot of time in that Big bend area. We are looking forward to see where you are headed in NM. My wife and I are both from the Land of Enchantment. You will love it!
It's beautiful! As always, we spent just enough time to want to go back again!
You choose great music.
Wish it was longer for relaxation.
I wish I had been there longer and got more footage!
Amazingly a rich history? 🤙
Any bears? I had a big black bear at Glen Springs not too long ago. Gorgeous country!
We didn't see much wildlife, unfortunately. The biggest thing we saw were the javelina!
Love the video!! We were there a couple of days after you! 👏🏼🌵. Glad I was able to know you guys were in area from IG!! (Lexus_luthor14)
I'll check out your pictures!
Do you have Christmas lights on your front bumper?
do you have stock suspension on the tacoma?
Would you give a rough itinerary of your trip? I have a 02 sequoia and am interested in making a trip not too hard nor too far from home. (San Antonio). I really like this one, keep up the good work!
Great video! Nice OG 4Runner set up. I have a 2010 Trail that we will be traveling in. We're heading there in 2 weeks. What would you say the distance is for the Black Gap trail and how long did it take you all to travel it?
Black Gap is 8.5 miles, and probably took a couple of hours including stops. It'll take you a few more hours getting to and from Black Gap too.
👍
Before this trip I thought road runners where bigger than coyotes lol
They’re just smarter and have good WiFi to order stuff from Acme.
Lol!
Good stuff as usual. As much as I enjoyed the 2 hour Colorado video, splitting them up is probably better for growing the channel.
*I guess the 2 hour movie wasn’t the Colorado one.
The 2+ hour movie was actually released as individual episodes, but TH-cam didn't promote them at all!
What (off) roads did you travel?
Great video! What were evening temps? What was campsite availability like?
It was between 35 and 45 overnight. Most of the park's backcountry campsites were available while we there. The ones online through recreation.gov were all taken!
Your 4Runner, does it have differential lockers or only ATrack? With the tend on the roof, is it stable? Does it has a 3 in lift kit? The bumpers, is it heavy? Was necessary to cut part of the body to install it? I bought one 2010 in good conditions but with high mileage and I will start to preparer it to do trips like you are doing.
Thanks to share yours videos, I appreciate it!
I have full build details at www.revereoverland.com/4runner
Yes to rear diff lock, yes to being stable, yes to 3 inch lift kit, yes to being heavy, and yes to cutting the bumper!
Thanks!
Sounds like you just missed the huge snow dump of December 30th! Nice content. The Chisos had about 14" of snow.
We did! I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. We really enjoyed the weather, but snow would have been cool too! We actually barely stayed ahead of that winter storm on the way home.
@@RevereOverland the snow was magical, but you would have been stuck for a couple of days.
Do you need a reservation or permit to camp like you did on this video?
I thought that I was watching a professional Hollywood documentary on the travel channel. This is outstanding! Question: was there a third person doing some of the video who was never on camera?
I believe he uses a tripod and drone.
Thank you! It was just the four of us. My wife drives while I video. I wish we could use drone in the park, but this one was all on the ground or with the gimbal!
How much fuel did you pack in and how much did you use? I am about to head that way and not sure how much to plan, last pumps are at Panther Junction? TIA!
Just what was in the tank. There’s a gas station down at Rio Grande village too, so you should be good!
Next time go into the Chisos! You’ll feel like you’re in Colorado
I really enjoyed your video.. i plan to head there in the future, but I will have a Winnebago RV Van Revel is as 4x4 and can the van be able to handle the road? I will be solo most likely, Do I need and guard of the bottom or winch or extended gas tank, Im diesel
Most of the roads would be fine. We saw a Sprinter van on the river road while we were there. The Glenn Springs campsite and Black Gap Road would be far too tough and tight though!
@@RevereOverland Thanks for the heads up.. any recommendation of offroad to closely experience that travel without getting stuck and SOL is appreciated. Im hype to get my Van in the next 2 mos. it been a 6 mos wait. Regards and now a subcriber
50mm butter
I love that lens!
Yo, is that what it is? It's incredibly watchable.
50mm Sony F1.8 with a DJI Ronin S Gimbal!
Another BBNP overview from the front seat of a 4WD. Although better photographed than many such travelogs, if you don't spend significant part of your time hiking, biking or boating, you miss most of what the park has to offer.
I can remember when it was perfectly legal to get a canoe crossing and walk around Boquillas, have lunch, buy a few souvenirs. We can thank George Bush the younger for putting and end to that.
They normally have crossings there, but it was all closed due to the Mexican border being closed!
Or you can blame Osama Bin Laden.
@@lanceweaklegs6896 Osama Bin Laden didn't close the border crossing. It was the Bush administration's knee jerk reaction to Osama Bin Laden that did. This is coming from a life long Republican.
@@markstambaugh3273 well then, you must be supremely qualified to be the Secy of Homeland Security. After all, a lifelong Republican. The people that make these decisions have access to far more information than a lifelong Republican, (Theory of Bounded Rationality, simply put, you don’t know enough to know). They have what you call a dog in the fight, as opposed to being a casual observer. It was always a kick to see new people get enlightened when they started getting their security briefings. You know, the ones you never got. When people start assigning blame when attacks happen, these are the people that catch hell, even if the attack wasn’t preventable.
@@lanceweaklegs6896 Smart enough Lance to know when to stop talking to a horses rear end who is always going to get the last word in.
Are those a 6ply tire or a 10 ply on your rig ?
They're C/6 ply
Out of curiosity, what PSI did you air down to for most of the trails?
Around 20psi, just to get a more comfortable ride.
What front light setup are you running?
I have some 12v Christmas lights on for this trip, but my regular setup is under aux lights here: www.revereoverland.com/4runner
Will a full size truck make that jeep trail? Ty b
Yes, it’s all wide open
What air compressor are you using. I'm looking to get one. I know about ARB but that's not what you seem to be using.
I have the Viair 88p. It's a great compressor, and a great price!
@@RevereOverland Thank you. I'll check it out."
Can it pump up truck/van tires to 60 psi?
It can do up to 100 psi I believe. It gets very hot though, so make sure you have something to store it in!
@@RevereOverland thx
Well I guess youtube wants me to subscribe to your channel because your channel has lit up my feed in the last couple of days...
It's a sign
Nice video.
