100+ Dirt Miles to Go, Will We Make Camp Before Dark?

[@Cornpone]

I love how Marco stops what he’s doing to watch first-bite reactions..... he definitely loves cooking for his friends. He seems like one of those genuinely good human beings that are pretty rare.

[@stephaniekuhn1964]

I totally agree, lets get more of him in there!

[@speedygonzales9993]

Marco's expertise makes all of us 'mouth water' (or drool).

[@billsbullets]

Marco needs a food network channel for outdoor cooking. Y’all are amazing.👍👊

[@nandan580i]

People like Marco are like those Gems you should cherish and hold on to.

[@Chris.starfleet]

Lucky for Marco that Brad is there. Brad is a corpsman, the perfect companion on trips like this.

[@Blitzkrieg226]

Atleast we got few souls like you actually living life to the fullest!. Live young, Live free .. God speed guys!!

[@Tryssfg]

I love how much you showed Marcos cooking and how everyone was helping out for dinner one night feeling inspired!! You can feel the good energy through your videos. And I loved that you helped your buddy patch up his hand. Thank you for creating such great content and letting your viewers feel like they went with you!

[@SLASHMotoVlog]

I'm telling you. I saw a lot of home made and camp made dishes. Even Gordon Ramsay. But for me Marco's are the best of all time. Very humble and approachable guy. I love that guy.

[@thomascalton3067]

You all seem like a group of humble, good guys. It's obvious that Marco is an awesome camp chef, but takes all compliments with humility and a love of serving you guys. Love your content TrailRecon

[@mark5.11]

Marco is the secret weapon in your team. I could overland for 365 days if I had him in my group.

[@hugosstudiosdenver]

The overlanding feast with Marco continues !! Thanks for sharing !!

[@1afchannel]

Hats off to Marco, thanks Brad for sharing.

[@hankthetank185]

Loved every second of your trail. Love Marco and his original food and his kindness. Wish I could join you guys on a trail. All the best from Hank in the UK.

[@brucenorris2274]

Brad, thank you so much for taking the time to make and edit these video's, they are inspiring. I want to check that trail out now myself. And as an fyi, the Mojave Rd. is one of my favorites. Did that for the first time back in the 80's, and have done it several times since. I have also done the second segment of the "Heritage trail" which is awesume. Happy Trails! Bruce

[@RedRockCrawlers]

Looks like another grand adventure! Marco's jeep is looking great with the wrap and trailer set up. Keep on wheeling

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

the change of scenery alone was breath taking. The bear that scampered up the hill was so awesome!

[@stevend9124]

This is why I love these videos the scenery can't be better and the food, let's just say it's pancakes tomorrow morning 😋 ☺

[@leanderlion68]

You couldn’t have said it more perfect

[@BlairHagen]

Brad! To help out with your power issue, plug your fridge right into one of the 12v outlets on the goal zero! Going through the inverter adds a good chunk of power wasted to inefficiencies/heat!

[@Parth-b8m]

0:56 amazing view. It’s always great seeing your adventure videos and Marco’s cooking! (Hopefully his hand is good by now).

[@rooster_saucer]

wouldn’t mind seeing the clean up.. yalls cookware looks spotless every time?!

[@wardperozuk2782]

Great trip! Lots of amazing scenery and I bet there were a few laughs! That’s what it’s all about!! Glad to see The issue with Marco’s hand looked after

[@Austin22Lowery]

Best overland KZbin channel in existence. Top best quality. Keep them coming Brad!

[@jcblackmon]

WOW! I know missing the Alaska trip was a bummer, but what a nice replacement adventure!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks for watching!

[@lastpreatorian418]

Marco needs to have a trail cooking channel. My wife and I both want his recipes and know his full setup for cooking.

[@OVRLNDX]

kzbin.info

[@OVRLNDX]

Thank you!

[@lastpreatorian418]

Marco A Hernandez 😎 Found your channel and joined already. Now to order your cook book. 😎

[@OVRLNDX]

@@lastpreatorian418 Awesome!!!!

[@josiahmacinnis7315]

Your a good man ‘I love his meals, and I love his passion for it” a good friend you are! Love the channel

[@jeremylevin8249]

Brad- I can’t believe you whipped out a Julian Apple Pie!!! I grew up in San Diego and used to go up there a few times a year with my family... great memories of fresh pie and apple cider, camping and hiking. Thanks for another great video! Cheers.

[@eto2352]

So cool that you are so focused on Marco's hand. A little thing that could turn into a big issue. Really enjoy your videos!

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

HOPE MARCO'S HAND GETS BETTER ! SMILE ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED !

[@OVRLNDX]

Thank you!

[@michaeldumont2391]

Have no fear the doctors here! To get the wound to seal, simply remove the bandage and place the wound directly on the exhaust manifold or header. Be sure to get as close to the engine head as possible for best heat distribution. Should an infection occur, simply apply starting fluid or gasoline directly to the effected area, this will kill just about anything. This will obviously cause pain but it can be managed. Have the patient face due north, while having a friend directly behind them. Have the friend place a stiff kick directly to the scrotum and the patient will most certainly forget about the pain in the hand! For those who may doubt my medical prowess, keep in mind that my initials are in fact MD! Enjoy your trip 😁

[@skrillian]

Thank you for sharing the ups *and* downs! So often trail overviews/recaps don't include the tough stuff, which is better to expect than discover in the moment. We run a single-battery setup too and this makes me think about our rig's future.... Thanks!

[@KaiMirra]

Marco is definitely keeping that trailer, he wrapped his Jeep to match 👍

[@OfficerLarryNMSE]

What a great trip you guys are having, it looks like so much fun. I hope Marcos hand heals up quickly, has he had a Tetanus shot lately, I just noticed that your spare tire is located under the Jeep. I would strongly recommend that you install a skid plate covering it before you do any serious Rock climbing. I sliced the heck out of a spare tire on rocks and didn't realize it was unusable until I needed it...

[@jtwstheman]

You and Marco should put together a overland camp cookbook!!

[@user-wc8yw4dw8w]

jtwstheman Marco has one. It’s great!

[@morgancook6481]

Y'all eat better camping than we do at home🤣🤣

[@bdsummers4]

Gotta say this channel has been a life changer for me since Covid started. I was a 100% sports fanatic B.C (Before Covid). I have since bought a Rubicon, Roof top tent and Canopy. Driving to Moab from Washington D.C next month with my daughter (senior in H.S) for an epic vacation. Cant thank you enough for the content. You guys are inspiring!

[@evilcam]

Nice. Or as Brad might say: EPIC! Maybe you will see him out on the trails one day.

[@mb11881]

Awesome scenery, thanks for the videos. What caught my attention was the MRAP at around the 22:30, guessing just out for drill/training? Would definitely grab attention on the back trail.

[@dalep-i4844]

Just something an Australian watching noticed you lucky guys can lock your fuel pump on and don’t have to stand there holding it the whole time. In Australia only some high flow diesel pumps (truck pumps) have that feature. Standard fuel pumps don’t do it and we have to hold the trigger down the whole time haha

[@alsmith1025]

There is this awesome 4 wheeler shop right out side the airport in Montrose that's does great work if you need repairs called Rockworx 4X4 .

[@kevinpritchard3592]

Awesome trip Brad and Marco makes the most amazing stuff in camp wow. Just wondering, what is the worst breakdown experience you've had out on the trail? Keep up the great work, thanks, Kevin

[@PrapullSharma]

I watched this after my work,..thanks for taking me there for free..

[@gen2-x364]

Beautiful country. 22:29 looks like an MRAP.

[@OutbackTouring]

New subscriber here from down under, looking forward to all this new found content. Looks great so far, Magic scenery 👍🏼

[@TrailRecon]

Welcome aboard!

[@larryparker1678]

Great Video, Marco's beard looks awsome, glad you having a great time

[@offthebeatenpath2738]

Oh my goodness! I leave tomorrow for this exact trip! Only, I'm running it from the other direction. It is a trip that has been 3 months in the making for me.

[@StanSheram]

A great inspiration for those of us who enjoy trails for the scenic views and relaxation. I’m a stock JLR guy and I’ve been thousands of miles on trails for the beauty and just a little beast. This one is next on my list. It’s been on my list for a couple of years and you just moved it to the top. Thanks for showing that you don’t have to crush fenders and skid plates to have an amazing trip.

[@jones_edition]

Epic as usual! You are living a dream that most of us will never get to do. Glad you take us with you along the way Brad!

[@mdskyhawk1976]

What a Great Trip, did this trail 11 years ago so glad it hasnt been trashed, Brad taking a Julian Pie on the trip man that brings back memories, best Pie Ever. Thanks for making this video. You should get Marco on the E3 overland classes schedule.

[@wtnadventures9166]

From one Brad to another, your videos are such an inspiration for my channel I'm starting. Keep up the good work!

[@aaronhagler8455]

Every single day after I get home from work, the first thing I do is see if there’s a new trail recon vid! Keep them coming!

[@FudaHouse44]

Brad, I grew up in San Diego. I left for Phoenix, AZ 7 years ago. Seeing that Julian Pie brought back great memories man. I need to get back up there. FYI, if you’re eating apple pie, then Mom’s Apple pie is the way, but if you’re eating apple pie with ice cream, the Julian Pie Co is the way because it’s more tart. Good video man.

[@maxmoore4315]

Thanks for sharing such and epic adventure. I hope I can run the trails as you and your BUDDYs have in the near future, retirement is about 5 years and counting. I always feel like I am buddies already with you and Marco and we have never been introduced. Keep that interesting, entertaining, epic footage coming.

[@navodeepdeka1042]

The sceneries are spectacular, food shoots are yummy and the Jeeps have some great mods. Keep up with such videos 👍

[@Daleejr08]

Thanks for hilighting some local overland routes! Can’t wait to explore them! I’m new to overlanding, but not new to 4wheeling. It’s a great resource for trails that aren’t necessarily challenging, just enjoyable routes! If you ever need assistance in the 4corners reach out! Safe travels!

[@DMMart-ou8hk]

definitely Marcos and his food cannot be missing on every trip! I love everything you guys do...

[@CorradoRacer]

Seeing those smooth loose gravel...makes me wanna slide, rallying again!! I wish I wish....those loose gravel is so awesome!!

[@83MASADA]

Hello Mr Brad, I’ve been watching your videos for few years now even before I subscribe to your channel, thank you for all your very welcome info on how to off-road the safest way and showing me the many trails to travel to. I have a 97/06 Tacoma’s, my 97 is my main off-road vehicle and I will like to know how you get sponsors for all those gadgets/equipment when you are on a tight budget, I would appreciate any info you may provide, I thank you again for taking me through all your travels where there’s no pavement.

[@藤本浩二-b6v]

Nice to meet you!　 I also ride Langler JL in Japan. I was healed by Langler's magnificent sight.　 Thank you for your continued support.

[@jeffquick9419]

Love these videos, some of the best overlanding and adventure planning tutorials out there, prolly have watched some of these so many times if it were a tape deck it’d be worn out by now...question for Marco and Brad, do you guys run a heavier spring on your Jeeps with all the gear and if so, how is the overall drivability without weight as opposed to it? I love my 2014 JKU that I’ve built for overlanding and adventure too but am so torn as to whether I should do the heavier spring set (like an AEV overlanding set) and just looking for some realworld experience advise. Hope to see you out on the trails out east some time, making our way out west next year...all be safe, take care!

[@margaretbowen867]

OMG! Julian Pie Company! Be still my heart!!!!!

[@mrlandcruiser6557]

Cool to see the Army alost joining you guys on your trip. lol (22:27). Beautiful trip. Wish I was there. Hope Marco's hand healed.

[@Ahmad-tr8zr]

Great video Brad Marco get well soon Can't wait for next episode

[@BenandBrandi]

Top notch production Brad. As always! Enjoyed this one!

[@kunalsingh_yt]

You guys are so lucky to have Marco in your group because he has a running kitchen in his jeep😉 Edit: can't wait for next episode 👍

[@sadflandnav]

Random MRAP, random bear and that awesome food and trails, thanks for sharing

[@overlandme]

Sceneries are unbelievably beautiful. Nice trip, great filming and inspiring content. It will be nice to add some of what is going on in the camp. Thanks for your efforts.

[@bellyisis]

If you ever have a super bad cut...once wait til it stops bleeding or if it’s an older cut mix together real honey with wound ointment to make the honey thicker so it doesn’t ooze from the dressings ,it works great to take inflammation away + the added benefits the honey gives as antibacterial & antimicrobial. Just found your channel w/lite brite every1 explains their rigs but maybe someone could go over suggests on the trailer set ups:)

[@ryanshafer8259]

Had to take a break from my essay to watch this, and boy am I glad I did. You rock Brad! Great video as always.

[@Dutch1951x]

Was that an overlanding MRAP that you drove by???? Hmmmm, I think I need to kick my vehicle game up a notch or two, LOL

[@menace1950]

Hi Brad & Marco.Just love you guys and watching Mr Marco cook up a storm every time.Every vid you create is absolutely awesome and the scenery is breath taking. I get so engrossed in watching the vids that i think im actually wheeling with you guys.Would love to really do the trips in USA,but unfortuneatly im way off in the Land Down Under. I have a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series.Keep up the tremendous work.

[@stevestott3652]

Marcos rig sure looks awesome pulling that patriot trailer . And his food makes me sooo hungry just to see it in these videos . ( Marco if you ever make a camp cook book 👨‍🍳 I’d buy it in a heartbeat :) :) . Cheers to another great video . From Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.

[@brucehawk09]

Brad, I cannot wait to do this trail. I am so glad you did this because I had no idea that this trail even existed.

[@seanbeard5470]

Montrose local here! Missed you guys again! LOL

[@johnbarrios1598]

This was a fantastic trip..... I sure wish I had a jeep to join all of you!! Your a fantastic group of people!! But It sure is great seeing this video. I love going on adventures with all of you!!!!!! Definitely looking forward to our next excursion!!!!

[@kellyduncan5968]

Always love your show here in missouri!

[@J.Stank9]

Haha I like how you went from calling it mont-rose to the proper mon-trose after leaving! Just finished the trail a few days ago, amazing drive.

[@glennroberts3069]

I'm from Florida and I'm retired military and I retired in Florida. I was stationed in New Mexico years ago and you guys make me miss New Mexico ! I'm a little different though I need to be near water so I would dive at Santa Rosa........the blue hole. It's beautiful

[@jerrytaggart7615]

Excellent video as always, love seeing your Corpsman skills be used. For your fridge, I was watching a review last week on compressor fridges, he had a C/O the 12v cig plug coming out while driving. He installed a hardwire Anderson Pole plug in the cargo bay for his Jackery-esk system to charge from. @ TrailRecon Keep up the hard work Brad. Jerry, US Army Medic.

[@rob5529]

Had no clue that was considered a kinda famous 4x4 trail! We wheel those places and then some in our full size rigs. You past up a cool ghost town along the way. Great stuff, love seeing people enjoy where i grew up.

[@stanr3491]

I wouldn’t be too paranoid about the Fridge running off the main battery, I’ve run one off my TJ battery for two solid days (without starting the Jeep) camping on the Rubicon Trail, just connect a Solar trickle charger to the Jeep battery to keep it topped off.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

that's a random MRAP or something in the middle of the forest lol!!

[@AndrewTurner251]

I love these videos, I look forward to them it always makes for a great day when they post. Thanks for making them.

[@jimdordan1794]

another great video, hope get out more with wrangler, there is alot of offroad up here by mt shasta, one day when it stops snowing, thanks.

[@alejandrocassio792]

It's 2:00 am and that Chipotle sauce that Marco made it's on my mind 🤭 I'm hungry now

[@Tnapvrvideo]

off topic ... my wife and I recently came across a massive Global Expedition vehicle. It is huge! We were wondering if that off-road vehicle could actually handle trails such as Imogene Pass and etc. It seems too wide and too tall. Thoughts?

[@Nick-tp1gp]

@19:36 seems like one possible solution is one from NASA, which is redundancy. Run an additional power outlet from the battery into the cab for the fridge. If your GoalZero is discharged overnight, then you could power the fridge off the battery while driving the next day's trail-leg; all while the GoalZero is catching up on its charge. And it's not the worst expense in the world if you decided to upgrade your alternator. I bet there are good ideas from yourself as well as other viewers, but that's my two cents. And as always, Brad, love the channel. Happily aboard the E3 Overland team.

[@grantsmiley1467]

Ordered my outback tailgate table, getting out there soon myself! :D

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Great video Brad... Great cast of characters. I'm thinking that we need to insure Marco's hands. Hopefully all is well with your hand Marco. Safe travels..👏🙏🇺🇸👍

[@evilcam]

When Brad said Marco's hand was injured and swelling, I instantly thought of the end of Wesley and Inigo Montoya's sword fight in The Princess Bride. Where, after the classiest, friendliest and one of the most entertaining duels in cinema history, Inigo is disarmed, and asks Wesley to kill him quickly, Wesley said he would no sooner destroy a stained glass window, than kill an artist with a blade, like Inigo. Marco is an artist when it comes to camp cooking, so the very notion that his hand was injured and possibly infected and definitely swelling, was as offensive to me as killing Inigo was offensive to Wesley. The man is a virtuoso, and like Inigo or a stained glass window, everything about him must be protected and preserved, so he can continue to impress the world, with his art. On that note, if you are gonna have an injured hand out on the trail, Brad is probably one of the best people around to deal with it, as I think he said he made a career in the military as a corpsman or medic. So, he obviously knows what he is doing, when it comes to treating lacerations and trying to avoid infections. Man...this caravan has a very eclectic, and admirable cast of characters on it.

[@cadenthekook8226]

love to see the videos, Brad. keep up the great work my GF and myself love it. Jeep wave your way!

[@cjzx325]

Great video and amazing views. The editing and commentary really make it feel like I'm there with you all! I can almost smell the food! I hope Marcos hand is still on the mend.

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks so much!

[@cw50must]

This two parter was pretty awesome. I really like the looks of that trail, adding it to the "someday" list.

[@chrisjenkins5729]

I would love to see a video sometime of you all just hangin out and talking about your fav trails around a campfire someday

[@theutahtexan6276]

Hey Brad, love the channel. Do you have the GPS coordinates for the accidental campsite or mileage where it was at? Doing the rimrocker in may

[@CraigSimons]

Such great adventures out west. This Florida boy is a little jealous.

[@ncfitton]

I ran Rim Rocker last month and I think you blasted through the nicest section west of Nucla pretty fast. It’s amazing out there!

[@2005GMK]

Awesome views, enjoy trailing..

[@Bama1963]

That rim rock trail looks like something I could do in my Crew cab Sierra 4x4. Its no rock crawler but it does have 33" BFG all terrain KO2's.

[@c.terrell3498]

I love the channel. Brad I would love to see more of the second gladiator rig in this episode, thx

[@RISCHAR12]

My opinion is that every camper and overlander need's one ''Marco'' Big love for all who likes camping and overlanding.

[@taylorjones5078]

Gotta love having a Doc on the trail. I assume you were an IDC, so, even better.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Yup, I want to go for an adventure now! Thanks for the inspiration 🙏
