8 Lessons We’ve Learned Off-Roading Over the Years - Palomar Mountain

[@StanSheram]

Lesson 9 off-roading isn’t just about breaking axles and crawling over rocks and obstacles, it’s also about family, history, our beautiful country, and the quality time seeing it. One of my favorite videos. Great family and inspiration to others.

[@TrailRecon]

Great point and thank you!

[@John-uo1qf]

My grandmother who was born in 1900 and lived to be 98 through wars, 2 husbands and a great depression always reminded us to "Count your blessings".

[@mikegallagher2732]

There are THREE things that i ABSOLUTELY LOVE ... These Vids, your Jeeps, and You and Regena Together !!!!! MUCH love to you BOTH From A Tacoma Owner !!!

[@danielpelletier3834]

I love your positive attitude. When I'm grumpy, I watch your videos and I pull out of it. Thanks and Thank You Regena for your words. Very inspirational.

[@regenakowitz]

Thank YOU! 😊

[@Matt02341]

I woke up just angry this morning. Wishing I had done things differently. Mad at the world and myself. This video reminded me to get back out there who knows! Plus I loved the 392 review, the interaction of your personalities are priceless!

[@regenakowitz]

@@Matt02341 I think we all have things we wish we could have done differently. But no matter how much we would like to change the past, we can't...all we do is learn from those moments and apply the lessons to forge a better and brighter future. ☺

[@Nachos_n_tacos]

Brad and his family also have that effect on me with their positivity :) I feel very lucky to be able to watch these videos :)

[@peteacevedo3411]

brad you are always such a positive person. I've watches the channel for several years now and your addition with your wife and kids has made the channel more family friendly. your words of wisdom I hope other jeepers enjoy. keep posting and we hope to see you maybe in colorado.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much!

You are the Bob Ross of Off Roading and Over landing.... Great Job as always !!!

Bob Ross was the man! Thank you!

If Regina doesn't get him a Tshirt for Christmas that says "The Bob Ross of off roading" I'll be so disappointed.

@@backwoodstherapy May I take credit for giving him this title ? am I the first ? lol

[@mtb6816]

Three strikes but still a great day with family, can't be beat.

[@daytonmunk3128]

I think that is truly one of the problems in overlanding, we get so gear oriented in the newest and greatest. That isn't necessarily a problem if you enjoy and nerd out on the gear but don't let it hold you back from going on trips and enjoying the gear you already have. Its awesome to see how far you have come and grown and to see your channel go from a few subscribers to over 484,000 is insane!!!! Love it!

Brad Regina Jordan, thank you for Inviting us.......... Brad you are so fortunate to have married such a wonderful Lady!!!!!!!!! You have Beautiful children!!!!! I do look forward to your videos!!!! Wishing I could be there with you all..... Awesome 😎😎😎😎👍😎😎😎👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much, I am truly blessed to have a great family!

[@castlefreak80]

Thanks for another great video. Regina advice is so on point. Getting out of your comfort zone and doing something new and fresh. Reason why I started camping (so far just controlled camp grounds) building up my confidence and courage to hit the trails and discover amazing dispersed camping sites. For an introvert person like me, it’s a big leap! Watching fun, great, educational videos like yours has been very helpful. Thank you!

[@regenakowitz]

Thank you so much! It can be really, really hard to push yourself to do new things, but it is so worth it when you do. We are always changing, life is always changing around us, and we all have a choice whether to be swept up in the current of change or to choose our own change and paddle in the direction we want to go. I'd much rather be an active participate in this crazy, wonderful thing called life. ☺

[@mbahm1]

So right Brad, attitude is everything! In everything in life we do! I have always told my two sons this ever since they were young.

[@jerrymestas1231]

Regina hit the nail on the head! get out of your comfort zone do something and enjoy my wife and I had started in these videos are very inspiring thanks guys, keep up the great work.

I appreciate you talking about positive attitudes. I get caught up in bad ones when I need to do maintenance or if something breaks and doesn't go my way. It's nice to get a reminder every once and a while. Try to stay positive at home and on the trail!

[@TrailRecon]

I hear ya, I'm constantly having to check myself when projects in the garage don't go smooth... which seems to be often.

Gotta love the paranoia after a trip with any new rattles or squeaks you think you hear.

When I bought my Jeep (12-2019) I thought I would keep it stock because I wasn't going off road. Found a couple local Jeep clubs, went off road and was hooked! Lift, 35's, bumpers, winch....love it!

[@davidyoung30]

Imagine wheeling with Regina and Marco both. Could have a thanksgiving feast on the trail.

[@TrailRecon]

When the two of them are cooking side by side at camp it's a bit overwhelming... so much goodness!

[@LoneStarSwirl]

Well there is a good idea for a video. A Thanksgiving video off the grid with a huge feast!

[@regenakowitz]

Thank you! I'm learning as I go but it's definitely fun!

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

The trail terrain does change as you discussed as does access to different areas. These things I have enjoyed on the local trails where I live. I also consider vista points along the trail for viewing sun rise or sun sets as well as moon rise or moon sets. Some camp sites I will consider if it has dark skies for star gazing. Thanks for another great video.

We have done that trail a couple of times but the opposite direction then you did. The first time we did it there was a person manning the tower and we were lucky enough to be able to go up and have a tour of it and check out the amazing view. Great trail close to home for us. Once again another great video.

[@TrailRecon]

I enjoy running trails in the opposite direction, ads a different twist to them. Maybe when we go next time we'll do that and fingers crossed we'll be lucky like you and the tower will be open!

[@duanebouse1692]

Great video! So enjoyable to watch, and so cool that your wife is with you on these trips now! (and your son when available!) I really enjoy her cooking. We ranch in Oklahoma, however, my wife and I spend the summers in South Fork, Colorado, and are always looking for quick and easy meal to cook while we are on the trails with our Rubicon. IMHO…Your hard work, humbleness and positive attitude are what makes your videos so successful. Thanks!

[@regenakowitz]

Thank you! I love being able to get out on the trail with Brad, especially when any of our boys get to join us. I am a huge fan of quick and easy meals. Probably from my days of working full-time and raising three boys with a husband who was often deployed when quick and easy meant saving time and sanity! 😄

[@onetruebob_tj]

Trail Recon video and a cup of strong coffee on a beautiful Sunday morning. Outstanding views on your family adventure and some PMA reminders that we all need. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us. I would wager that mac and cheese was delicious. Thick cut bacon FTW!

So glad we could be part of your Sunday morning and cup of coffee! Yes, the Mac and Cheese was soooo good!

Take the wife up top of the world trail. My wife had her doubts. I went to EJS 5 days before her to “get it out of my system” lol. She flew out and that was the last trail I had to check off. Couldn’t go to Moab without going up there again. Pretty sure I passed brad in the red Jeep on 128 on our way back to town matter of fact. Then spent a day checking out the parks with her and took a trip monument valley and the 4 corners. Also checked out valley of the gods. I can say for sure she gets it now. On the ride home she was asking when and where we’re going jeeping next lol.

[@TrailRecon]

That's so great to hear, I hope you both have many great adventures together! Valley of the Gods in on my to-do list!

[@davidyoung30]

@@TrailRecon It’s just a gravel road loop with some pretty scenery and camp spots. I wouldn’t make a special trip just to see it but if driving by it would be a awesome place to camp for a night.

I think it’s cool that you still have your first Jeep after all the ones you’ve been through. I wish I still (or could get back) the first Jeep (1997) I bought in 1996 when stationed in Miramar, Ca. I still remember the dealership, Rancho Jeep.

[@castawaymedusa92]

This is what Off-Roading is about! Family adventures, history lessons and having fun! I wish I had some land like this close to me 🥹

[@johnporter9808]

I think back on my youth in the late 60s and 70s, my dad bought a used F150 and built a homemade camper. We hiked and camped all over the coast range primarily but a bit in the Sierras, even took it to Michigan one summer. No lift, no big tires, heck no offroad tires. We weren't in the middle of nowhere but sometimes we went hours between seeing other cars. Comparing what we had to todays equipment I am lucky to be alive. But we also were careful and did not push what we did have.

[@Marine-vr3qc]

We’ll just ordered a 392 in silver two weeks ago, I couldn’t pass up 7% below invoice. If you had the diesel but love the 392 I guess I will too.

[@TrailRecon]

You're going to love the 392!

[@johnssmith4005]

Brad please tell me that you got to drive the Wrangler Overlook Concept and did a video on it for some reason that concept is by far the one that I want to become reality the most.

[@TrailRecon]

I did a short segment on the Overlook Concept when I was at SEMA last year, its a great vehicle. This year our schedule was thrown off a bit and we didn't get to drive all the concepts.

Built a ton of guzzlers, for chuckers, (and whatever else needs a drink) out in the west desert, past Delta Utah with my ole man and his group when i was young. Was always awesome to go back out, and see some one had destroyed them, for fun. So, we set them all back up, shake our heads, and move on.

[@e.c.8668]

Palomar Divide is my next day outing. Looks like you all did this on Friday when the wind was up. I went solo out to Blair Valley and then up to the S22 and dropped into Grapevine Canyon, Yaqui Wells Rd, then up to Anza Borrego so I could get a patch of the state park. Never even aired down. Be careful out there. The rattlers are starting to come out of their dens. I just about stepped on one as I was checking out a view. Little bugger was just sitting there warming up in the sun. BTW, to dispersed camp in Cleveland NF, you have to call the ranger district office and get a free overnight permit. They will email it to you...each peasy. You could also stop at the office to get one. No open fires, unfortunately.

[@hotel.colorado]

Happy to see and hear your family is doing well!! I enjoy all that Gaia has to offer, I use it to explore Michigan all the time.

It is always interesting to revisit a trail and not only see how it has changed but also how your initial perspective of it changed as well. We have a couple of trails that we want to redo because they were fun and also doing them in a different season will change their scenery. Jordan... Pay attention to Mom. It is a shelf road... 2 hands on the wheel, eyes on the road... yeah, all the mom safety things. LOL Until next time... Travel safe.

[@TrailRecon]

Agree, trails change over time, so you never know what you might get. It's also fun sometimes to just go do a trail in the opposite direction, can be a completely different experience.

So great you finally made it back there. Digging the exhaust tone!

[@TrailRecon]

The exhaust not just brings a smile to my face every time!

[@kennethsillers2310]

I think I can safely say that the 392 hast the best stock exhaust note of any Jeep. I love the scenery it’s so different from here in Ontario Canada. I’d love to bring my gladiator here. You may have made a video on this in the past and I’m relatively new to the channel, but what do you look for in a suitable camping spot?

[@TrailRecon]

You should plan a trip, the Gladiator is a great overland/road trip truck! I'm not picky about camping spots, generally I just want something flat, can accommodate at least 2 vehicle and some protection from the elements. Time distance on my trips usually dictates what camping spots I select.

[@Matt02341]

[@LoneStarSwirl]

We recently went to Merus Adventure park and that was what I would consider my first actual legit off roading adventure. Everything before that just seems like dirt roads and beach sand. Merus definitely gave me a confidence boost. I love GAIA. It is basically all I use. It has everything I need so far. Attitude is the one thing that you have total and complete control over. No matter what happens, you can control how you react to it. Keeping a positive attitude can be challenging at times, but in the long run it will serve you so much better than the alternative. Bacon is never just a "Small Part"...lol...no matter how much you use, it always has a huge impact. I love that you used broth to boil the pasta. I am one of the few people I know that does this but it is a game changer over plain water. Also when making rice!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much for your comment! I can't wait to get back out to Merus, a great place to wheel.

[@patricknolan546]

Can Regena share her recipe for the Bacon Mac & Cheese? Brad & Family -- love the optimism and cheerfulness of this channel. Jeeps and Gear are great, but the perspective on just getting out there and enjoying things is what I like best about your channel. Come for the Jeeps, stay for the message.

[@regenakowitz]

I can share it over in the community tab...just give me a day or two so I can make sure I've written it down correctly...it's one of those dishes that I've made so often that I don't actually go by the original recipe anymore. If you noticed in the video, I was measuring the cheese by hand! 😂

Hey Brad! I remember you saying a little bit ago you wanted mopar high tops for your 4 door wrangler, I’d recommend the MCE fender flares, they look very stock and are flexible so they won’t snap like other plastic flares.
