my AWD Honda CRV has done me good for a number of things. My dad has worked for Honda for more than 35 years, and my CRV has moved me cross country four times, survived a hurricane, taken me off-roading when all the roads were closed and shut down, has gotten me through Louisiana's floods, Texas highlands, Virginia/West Virginia/Kentucky mountains, plus has a customizable option to attach a tent. Fits me, my partner, and my two large dogs, including my SAR K-9's hard crate all comfortably. Love that thing. 17 years old, 180k miles and still going strong.

[@the_shrimp_pro7489]

[@julesl6910]

It used to be. Now we get to watch salmon fishing videos, could not be more boring. Way to go you caught a salmon with a flasher who cares. Everyone can buy salmon at the grocery store. Other fisherman will come along on KZbin and will recognize the gorgeous beauty of rock fishing, and I'll enjoy those videos. Boats are boring. Rockfishing all the way. Instead of being boring Matts should just go to other coastlines and fish for other species. Like go to Mexico, Canada, South America, England, go to Greece, go to Africa bro. It's your job. Do it.

[@patricklitwin975]

I'm a firm believer in the underated awd sienna! People hate on minivans but it's everything you want in a crossover but better. Tons of cargo space, toyota reliability, great gas mileage for the size. That build sounds so sick

[@fredyg.278]

Perfect timing on my lunch break

[@Maplecook]

You are an inspiration to me. I cook on camera, but I have never been fishing. Watching you catch cab and greenling is fascinating, because we have them in my area, but they DO NOT sell them in the stores. If I ever want to cook these fish, I will need to go and catch them MYSELF. My buddy is an avid fisherman, and he is planning to take me fishing with him, so we can do a catch and cook. I'm nervous, but enthusiastic. I probably would have been much less enthusiastic, had I not been a fan of your show first. Keep up the excellent work! And my 2 cents: I don't like Siennas. I owned one for years, and I wouldn't imagine it would be up to the task of off roading, no matter what you might do it.

[@jmitch1980]

Anytime Matt says “this might not be a good idea” it’s gonna be good

[@catchineat1116]

Get the Toyota Sienna. Super comfortable for road trips, very smooth ride, seats in the back can fold all the way down, and a very "Deep" trunk. Van's nowadays got zero space in the trunk. Great on gas too. You'll love it!

[@nategfishes9990]

The new Subaru outback Wilderness looks very promising

[@OneUpMoto]

If the outback still can only tow 2500lb it won't work for towing most boats. It was unfortunate when I was selling Subarus and people wanted an outback but they needed towing capability. Then the ascent came around and it was a bit better at 5k towing capacity.

[@urbanbushman7654]

You asked about a vehicle I would suggest a Toyota sequoia. It has 4 wheel drive the sleeping room you want off road ability and the family ability too. We have one for all those reasons ourselves. Plus it has tow ability too. I highly recommend it or a smaller version the 4runner.

[@DaDonPerignon]

Jeep Patriot 4x4? Ford Explorer or escape? Depending on how old you wanna go they also have some V8 Jeep Grand Cherokees that aren’t too crazy expensive. Hope that may help👌🏻keep up the great videos!

That was a good day off the rocks. Best bait for Lings I have found is Sand Dabs. I used them off Ft Brag on party boats. Then you could keep 5 Lings and the size averaged what you caught today.

[@DocTry86]

To answer your car question. I would recommend Subaru. Specifically CrossTrek or Outback. Both are all wheel drive, plenty of space, good gas mileage and they hold their value well too. Not to mention they are actually affordable unlike Toyota, which cost a arm and leg these days (tacomas).

[@mahalmobaako888]

Subaru Outback definitely went camping in it. Volkswagen Tiguan has a lot of space but feels underpowered but I really recommend the space in it

[@angdaien]

I van lifed in a 4x4 sienna. thing chugged gas and i only used the 4x4 3 or 4 times. just go with the 2wd IMO. If you're going to go off road bring a winch. I got recently got a diesel colorado. gets amazing gas mileage 25-30mpg, tows my 21 foot arima no problem, and has plenty of room inside for a family. Downside is that you'd have to get a camper shell if you want to sleep in it comfortably

[@JonathanHStone]

I'd take a long look at the Mazda CX5 or CX9 if you need a third row. They get a lot out of 4 cylinders and the CX5 has the split rear seat passthrough that's perfect for long rods. If you want more off-road capability I'd look at a Subaru Forester or Outback, the Outback has a perfectly flat deck when the rear seat is folded down making sleeping in the car very easy. With the Forester, you'll need to build a sleeping deck or use an air mattress.
