Thanks Joe! Good tomhear from you! 🤙

Thanks Mike!

Been doing some work on the home front including turning an old guest room into a video editing studio. So, after the holiday I'll be back working on post-production 😃. Glad you made it to Kofa and had a little adventure in the process! I'm sure the mountain lion sensed you were grumpy old overland people and made the wise decision to move on 🤣. Thanks for sharing!

Soon as it's done John I'll let you know! I'm way way ready!

@ looking forward to see it

Well it WAS about 12 with the 35's and the front bumper. After this build is done probably 10 1/2 to 11 and 10 with the Patriot X3. Off-road I'm hoping no worse than 9. Not too different than our 4Runner but it runs on premium.

he TOLD you not to ask. overland rigs, generally speaking, are about 11 mpg. 35" or larger tires, and a lift and suspension generally trash milage and reduce it to a winnebago with a 460 ford gas engine.

🤣 and like I said we don't really get into overloading for the mileage. Because of that we will also be adding a 25 gal Long Range America gas tank just as we did the the 4Runner. Probably the most useful mod on the 4Runner beyond the basic suspension/tire modifications. Well, I guess they are all useful at one point or another 😛

What do you think about the Lexus GXs as compared to the 4Runner and LC?

​@@adventurebeyond60 i've got LRA tanks on the JL jeep. jeeps get such good milage. second only to their reliability. second week in april, jill and i have a week down in the bottom of the maze in canyonlands. there is room on the permit for a second vehicle, if you've never been there. holler if interested, and we can discuss it over the phone, and see if it'd be a good fit.

Yep hope to head south of the border one of these days! Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey Mark! Somehow this comment just surfaced for me - sorry about the late reply. Many of the shot that look like drone shots are done with the Insta360 camera that Debbie holds out the window on a 10' pole. When I'm actually flying the drone while the vehicle is moving, then Debbie is driving and I'm flying the drone from the passenger seat.

I'll have to check out that lake sometime!

Loved the Valdez, Whittier Tunnel and Prince William Sound shots. That pizza made me hungry!

Gary, I know this is a late reply, but sorry to hear about that leg! I totally remember running into you that morning at the Hampton Inn. Glad you enjoyed the videos and they help you pass the time while you were laid up. I'll have more on the way in a few weeks. Hope that leg is better and you are out and about!

Can’t wait! Looking forward to it Dave!

@@thewanderingpinto5979 of course!

Excellent glad you could get it fixed up! 👍🏼

We use a variety of cameras. All video is shot in 4K but frame rate and color depth depend on the platform. Primary cameras are the Sony A7SIII andl A7RV with a variety of lenses usually at 60fps. Next is the Insta360 X3 shot in 5.8K (recently upgraded to the X4 at 8K). However post production reduces the resolution to roughly 4K. We have a couple of GoPros at 4K and 3 drones Mavic 3 Cine, Mavic mini pro 3, and a Mavic Air 2. With most cameras we shoot in log mode and all video goes through manual color grading in post production with the final video being rendered in 4K HDR (HLG format). The HLG format seems to work best with KZbin. With the Insta360 and GoPro their log format isn’t the greatest so we shoot in HDR and I still tweak the color grading. It’s labor intensive hence we are way behind in getting releasing content. But the quality of the content is very important to us. Thanks for asking!

@@adventurebeyond60 That explains a lot. I have been slowing migrating to 4K but its brutal on my computer hardware, I guess I need to bite the built and spend about 5K on a system that will handle it. I appreciate your detail and explanation

@@BackcountryNomad Yes it takes a lot of horsepower to do video post production. And don't forget to budget for backing up the data!

@@adventurebeyond60A lot of work going into the videos…they look great!!

Thanks very much. We will be back to doing post production work in a couple of weeks when we return from our current adventure.

Hey Dave! Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Big Bend is a beautiful place and there are some great views from Chisos Basin. Great news you will in the AZ and SoCal in January and February. Hope we can connect when you head out!!! Stay in touch!

@@adventurebeyond60 Will do! Also looking for easy off road trails in southern California. Perhaps we could camp and you could show us a few. What is your email address?

Always! Thanks Marco!

That is awesome! Its a beautiful place!

Glad it was helpful! Definitely do-able with an offroad trailer. Hope you give it a go!

@@adventurebeyond60 How were you able to reserve that site with a trailer? I've been wanting to camp at some of those more remote sites, but they clearly say "no trailer" on the website for each one, Glen Springs 1 in particular. Do they check or allow it if you're capable?

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind….

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video! Yep, it's a fun beach and a great way to get away from it all.

Thanks so much!

Awesome thanks so much Rob! It was a real pleasure meeting you and Karen today as well. Looking forward to checking g out your channel as well! Hope the sunset photography worked well at White Sands today! Cheers! 🍻

Had a great time in Corpus Christi and out on the beaches. No overloading trips planned for Texas planned for this year...so far.

Thank you very much!

Yep based on what we found in July June was less traveled by others. But last year everyone said "wow this is a rainy June". But at least it was all light rain for the most part. Thanks for watching!

Yes, I realized that after I uploaded the video. But thanks for pointing that out at least someone is listening 😉

Great. Like I said - just watch out for the wind at night 💨

Thanks Chris!

My pleasure - thanks again for watching!

Glad you enjoyed both Chris's and our videos David. You keep getting it done yourself and look forward to seeing you on the air. 73 de W6TED

Good to hear from you Dave. Yeah, the Denali Hwy is just an amazing place. We went back later in the trip to spend one more night out there. Really quiet. Eventually that portion of the trip will be on a released video.

Looking forward to it. I really need to get finishing some videos, if I am ever home to work on them lol! We are currently in the 50th state.

Yeah it's tough finishing content when traveling a lot - but could be worse problems ;-) Have fun in beautiful Hawaii!

Thanks Jim. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Our pleasure. Always glad to hear folks are enjoying the videos!

Thanks for the update on The Slot! Always good to get recent news especially after weather.

Thanks for watching!

I apologize I thought I responded to your question. The animated red lines on the maps are done using Apple Motion. Once you get the line drawn you can keyframe the beginning and the end and when played back it animates the drawing of the line.

@@adventurebeyond60 super many thanks. Excellent vid!

Excellent, glad you are because we have lots more of the Alaska series to come!

Looking forward to more Aaska videos. Rae and Lyne , Snoopy

Thank you so much 😁

I'm not sure since I don't have one. You will probably need to ask Coleman....

😬

That's awesome! We are excited for you! More in the series will be coming out soon (probably next 2 weeks). If you have any questions feel free to contact us.

Thanks Mike! Next one is out tomorrow Friday Oct 27 3:00p PDT. Then it will be a couple weeks for next one beyond that cuz we are traveling next week.
