An Unforgettable Overland Adventure Along Highway 395 - Part 1 of 2

[@TrailRecon]

Lots of comments about wanting more Marco cooking videos and we've got plans to do more in the future, but here is one we filmed in Baja last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYqahnuHgd-ZY7M

[@markzenzo6206]

Marco needs to make a Jeep Cookbook. There are basically 5 books on the market. 4/5 suck. Like trying to turn MRE's into 5 star dining.

[@kiplambel4052]

"Marco videos"? That's be cool, but better to have him along on trips!

[@sostrucking]

Marco needs his own cooking show....we need a Marco cooking show.

[@Whiteandsonsgarage]

joe king yes that would be great, I think he’s doing a cooking book

[@Stephen-G]

I'm sitting here taking notes for my grocery list lol

[@JustinKingOffroad]

yes!! this!

[@rvboyett]

Absolutely, Marco is greatness!

[@JLHenderson]

Seriously! These vids make me hungry.

[@CesarGuzman0608]

I am convinced that Brad enjoys Marcos cooking more than his wifes cooking. Its why he goes camping so much.

[@TrailRecon]

LOL! You're trying to get me in trouble! My wife is an amazing cook... yes, even better than Marco!

[@OverlandAddict]

😂😂

[@OVRLNDX]

@@TrailRecon hahaha!!

[@joykemprai]

@@TrailRecon Nice comeback. Love from India.

[@danr3545]

Marco, start your own KZbin channel! “Overland Eats.”

[@TheRayDog]

I enjoy your vids for their low key vibe. Enjoying the outdoors and the trail adventure doesn't need crazy runs on Dana 60s with screaming music. Thanks.

[@hotshtsr20]

This. I want to hear the rocks crunch, engine sounds, and whatever else there is, not bash my head against a wall listening to bro music. :)

[@overlandaf_adventures472]

Overlanding is the best type of jeeping.

[@jordannn392]

this channel is seriously one of the best channels on youtube

[@davekendall1338]

I love the mix of overlanding and cooking show. This channel is truly something special.

[@TrailRecon]

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@jameshuggins4300]

+1! I didn't know that Brad a personal chef along on his trips! Lol!

[@nikstone2420]

Dave Kendall Yes it is.

[@teckstream9762]

@trailrecon you're the bob ross of overlanding, you have some of the most relaxing and educational videos

[@jmsuitter5]

Marco is continuing to out so himself pro level doesn't even cut it any more you sir are a legend

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Sorry to see the puncture. The milestars do have a pretty weak sidewall though. *yes I’m one of those people blaming the tires*

[@juanticimo]

you get what you pay for.

[@powerstar2363]

was considering a set of the 38x13.50s but after this video Im sticking with Toyo/Nitto

[@markkoller479]

I've been running 35's Toyo Open Country MT not far away of needing a new set and of course I want to save a few bucks but after this vid I think I'll pass on the Milestar

[@RyanBennett_Gpd605]

IMO, its situational. I've seen LiteBrite thrash their Patagonia's and just abuse the hell out of them and not a single problem out of them. Are they perfect tires, no but this is the first time I've seen them with a cut sidewall or at least evidence of them.

[@markkoller479]

@@RyanBennett_Gpd605 I've seen Kev and Brit beat the hell out of their Patagonia's in Valley of Fire, it was impressive. I still have a few months to make a decision. In May I'm heading north to the Arctic Circle. Avoiding interstates and hyways. From socal it is going to be a 10 week round trip. BTW thanks for the input

[@danieljlucero92]

Me and my girlfriend started watching all your videos a couple weeks ago nonstop!!! Yesterday we bought our overland rack, tent, and basic supplies 😊😊😊 thank you for your content!!!!!!

[@shankiradix]

I''m from kenya and came across your channel, thanks to you-tube recommendations and I love the content..

[@nikstone2420]

Now that’s living, good friends, food, & Mother Nature. Can’t wait for spring, & summer.

[@pointeddown]

You can fix that flickering by copying that clip to another layer of your timeline and moving it over one frame either ahead of your original clip or behind and lowering your opacity to to 50%. Or you can. Try to match up your shutter speed with your light. But since the clip's been shot you can try the first thing I mentioned. Hope that helps... Always enjoy your videos!! Keep up the great work!

[@renaissancepoet]

TrailRecon is my new favorite KZbin channel. You guys visit the most beautiful places. The camera work really is top notch. Love Marco's cooking segments. Learning more about four wheeling is always good. And your hosting/narration style is so laid back, natural, and educational that it helps keep the videos interesting & entertaining. Add all of these elements together and it makes me feel like I'm right there with you guys! Absolutely love it!

[@seissusilowibowo]

Brad, Marco, and Cameraman For all of you, I say THANK YOU SO MUCH Your content is very good Im so happy watch this channel From Indonesia

[@DevonKocevski1]

No no no no 15:29, you guys do it RIGHT with camp cooking! These are camp cooking goals! The best!

[@JoeyRock333]

Just watching these episodes, I get so hungry for both the food and the views!

[@BrandonCooper1]

More than anything in the world, I want a crossover video with Marco and Chris from @venture4wd. A little cooking tutorial video would make fans of both series happy for sure.

[@OVRLNDX]

Love Chris!!!

[@TrailRecon]

It would be great to have Chris and Marco on at the same time.

[@nosnerd1967]

Chris is in the Canadian Maritimes this week . ( but u guys already knew that ) lol

[@davewalkerden]

Chris could certainly use a few cooking lessons.

[@OverlandAddict]

That’s a great idea! Would be cool for the more prominent overlanding channels to organize a trip and document it.

[@4x4adventure_pl]

Watching your rig handle that mud bog was impressive! The way it powered through shows just how capable it is.

[@droyal1975]

You are probably my new favorite adventure channel. Marco is awesome, and you all seem like genuinely good people. Keep it up, and God bless.

[@22mbradley]

Overlanding, fantastic cooking and appreciation. This channel is phenomenal.

[@davidoden]

Super good quality video. Marco’s food looks awesome.

[@REELCOMPAS]

Huge fan of your videos. Marco for sure needs to do an overlanding cooking show.

[@mauiman52]

Love, love, love your trip. And no, we think you guys are doing all right the way you do your food. Who really enjoys dehydrated food in the first place? ;-). Thanks also for always giving a big shout out to Marco who does not eat meat but is happy to serve the best food available to his friends. Thank you Marco!

[@nandan580i]

A guy like Marco on trips like these, you cannot ask for anything more.

[@tjshine8022]

Gotta remember that when you're Overlanding, it's not just about the fourwheeling, it's also about the camping and relaxing! That was a beautiful spot you picked out with the running creek (no mosquitoes)! Great cooking Marko and Josh!

[@lexustech48]

If Marco can do ALL THAT on a small cooking surface at a remote camp, he must absolutely SLAY it in a full kitchen. Excellent job sir!

[@jameswathen1]

Marco is always cooking something fantastic. I just had lunch, and still made my tummy growl

[@rushmonk3545]

These are more food gasm videos than they are overlanding. And you know what, I’m not upset. Thanks for the awesome videos and all the inspiration. About to start building mine to get out a bit deeper into the southwest.

[@trjnsd6874]

To have the time and income to do adventures like this is a real blessing. You have given the rest of us inspiration to go and do when we can! Thank You all for a great vicarious vacation! Great camera and video work Brad, and fine editing - I'm watching and learning.

[@RobDTom]

I did virtually the exact same thing regarding a puncture in the sidewall. Did it on a very easy trail too. All it takes is hitting a sharp rock at just the right (wrong) angle.

[@TrailRecon]

It can happen anytime... gotta have a spare!

[@RobDTom]

TrailRecon definitely!

[@kenmarapese9085]

Beautiful scenery, the day two campsite was story book and a thunderstorm to boot, nice!

[@RyanZNO]

Glad to see I’m not the only one that plans over the top meals for camping 😊

[@bosse641]

Marco is the best adventure companion, ever. Surely.

[@GoatOffroad]

I am so there with you guys in spirit !!! Looks absolutely amazing! ❤️🐞. Marco is the best!!!

[@scottharrison994]

You stress the importance of having a spare, but equally important is the spare is the same size as the others when lockers are involved - I was glad to see you bought 5 of the 35's. Great channel, I'm enjoying immensely !

[@Carlosgutierrez-gu9nh]

Good food, friends, and nature it doesn’t get any better than that!

[@mlshangluah]

It will be so nice to have a buddy like your Marco.. To have a great breakfast nor dinner out there in the wild will be so awesome... Best buddy for life brad and marco 👌😉

[@notyetdead8804]

So wow just joined watch my second video (running through the newbies playlist) and you have a Gladiator!! Awesome and what a great trip already watched part 2 and came back to comment. Everyone needs a Marco on their trips...

[@EJPinter]

Marcos cooking always looks so good! His 392 is coming out great.

[@karatestanley]

This is my favorite video. I've watched it a few times now and have enjoyed it each time.

[@pullingtaffyproductions8148]

Fine dining at its best. Marco is a truly amazing chef.

[@katiemonroe5456]

Everything tastes better when you're camping, but it's always special to have a truly gourmet meal while out in the wilderness. I really enjoyed this video- would love to see more like it! Beautiful scenery and camps, good crew, badass jeeps, and quality content/editing that really captures the magic of adventuring/exploring off the beaten path. Awesome!!

[@warandpeaceminiatures2333]

the sound of rain and thunder in the mountain is the best. great video. the cooking is also perfect. I agree on the fact why go that far and not have a great meal with friends.

[@anilpanta1505]

You guys are blessed to see all this beauty with your own eyes and to feel the fresh air in your lungs and on your skin. The clear water of stream and its music awesome. Best part was the rain accompanied with thundering, wow this is always music to my ears I just love it. What can be better than having a great meal by the stream with your friends. Was there no beer or you don't. Amazing, mesmerized. Thanks for sharing. God bless you all. 👍

[@Heavy.hemi510]

Got some pepperoni pizza and a new TrailRecon video. Life is Goooood!

[@xray450technologies]

Hello all of you overlanders! I want to say, here from Portugal - Europe, what a great Content this videos are for me to watch!! Keep Going!!

[@pandafranchise]

I went up to this spot over the Labor Day weekend. Got up to the lake around 2 pm from LA, and there were already 5 different groups camped around the lake. I talked to a local and he said within the last month (august) that traffic on these trails increased 10 fold, and he couldn't believe so many people were up at the lake. Leaving Sunday morning, there was actually traffic going down the mountain. You certainly are an influencer Brad, and I'm a big fan.

[@theadventurecontinues]

Your reaction to biting into the breakfast sandwich, priceless!

[@africanson1124]

Camping will not be the same without Marc's cooking ☺😋 just looking at Marco's set ups I knew it was going to be a wonderful meal. Beautiful video you guyz 🙌🏾💪🏾 stay safe 🙏🏾

[@TheTrakker]

Josh's fish dinner looks awesome. But I must admit, I really wanna go Jeepin' with Marco! The man is obviously an artist of the culinary disciplines!

[@NomanNizarAli]

Omg omg omg y’all living the life! Wish I had friends info these things....I would so do it! Loved it each time y’all would do something I had big smile on my face like I’m eating it and enjoying it with y’all.

[@realonethreesevens3640]

Said it once, i'll say it again. Marco is the man! I need a plate asap!

[@MarkPharaoh]

Moved from SF to SEA and boy do I miss the 395 corridor. Great video.

[@mbolt7575]

I love how no matter what mood I’m in, every single video you make you have the best outlook on life and the day at hand, situation. I can always rely on your videos for a destress!👍🏼

[@LumpiaBoi808]

It’s always a nice time watching your videos Brad! You got me into camping and “overlanding” with my Jeep, although here on Hawai’i, there’s not much room to explore but keep up the great content brother!

[@TrailRecon]

I'm so glad you have be getting out, I'd love to explore the Hawaiian trails someday.

[@BEMEiTY]

Yeah, a lot of the land is privatized unfortunately. However; when I was living in Hawaii Dillingham was always fun, ocean to swim in and mountains to hike right behind.

[@LumpiaBoi808]

Jonathan May That’s right, oahu had some nice hiking trails for sure. My island (Kauai), has quite a few back road trails and numerous scenic hikes for sure but wheeling wise, all we have is the sand and a bunch of mudded out trails that makes cleaning a pita sometimes hahaha

[@ProjectXJ]

I really need to get out and camp more! Memories with my kids that they will never forget!

[@ahmonguniform]

Marcos is the best man for every trip!

[@markwolf8804]

Another AWESOME adventure in the Rubicon Gladiator!! And the cooking...unbelieveable!! Beautiful views. Thanks for sharing these.

[@marktalamantez3303]

Wow....y’all’s trip made me hungry!!!

[@SupremeBehemoth]

Probably the adventure journey that I've been dreaming of!

[@Igot2fly1]

I need Marco to go camping with us. WOW. !!! What a Chef. Thank you Brother Marco.. I'm so itching to get out there with you guys... As Michael says ( OverlandBound ). I need some ADVENTURE.. nothing like ARMY camping, Brad you understand.. Thank you Marco and thank you Brad and Justin for your service

[@leoozwow7234]

The content you bring is always awesome Brad, I really love it/enjoy it. Furthermore I am very excited about the mods and different setups you will be/ are trying out on the Gladiator!!! Keep the great work up!

[@monkgogiserojane391]

You guys make this look so easy, and Marco is a great cook.

[@jnxius]

You guys eat better out in the wilderness than I do at home. Thank you Marco for showing your process, it really opens my mind to the possibilities. Awesome video production Brad. A bizarre thing that can occur is you will roll over a rock, and the rock fractures in half creating a razor sharp edge which cuts the sidewall. Its a fluke thing but if I haven't seen it happen with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. If you walked back down the trail you would have probably found the fractured rock.

[@yfnhbmd]

Man... Marco is the best. Y’all should consider doing a series where y’all take trips but also incorporate Marco’s cooking because that man is a prize that needs to be cherished

[@Metalgearsolid1992]

Marco's food makes my mouth water

[@DrewToner]

Fresh cookies and ice cream, for desert, while camping!! That's livin folks!!

[@DrewToner]

Forgot to mention Brad, when you said you were just up enjoying your coffee, you should of said and I'm just enjoying my "Black Rifle Coffee"! I know I am! Thanks for the lead on that. They even ship from Canada to me in Alberta!!

[@hghori1]

Brad, hands down the best camping / overlanding and jeep specific youtube channels on youtube. Honestly, watching your channel is like going on a mini vacation everytime I sit down.

[@OVRLNDX]

Unforgettable times brother!!!! Love it!!!!

[@TrailRecon]

We won't be forgetting this one anytime soon!

[@diegopena3663]

dude, i'm a vegetarian and i'm always thinking that is really hard to do this kind of adventures because i won't be able to eat "normal" food! Thanks Marco for showing me that i'm so wrong haha. Good luck guys

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

For vegetarians, the three S's are great for camping : - Soup - Stew - Salad Go on and get out there, food is great everywhere. 😃 Oh, and maybe a bit of garlic bread with the soup/stew ?

[@diegopena3663]

@@Grumpy_old_Boot thanks for the info! :)

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

@@diegopena3663 Aint no reason to stop doing what you want to do, if a little bit of work and preparation can solve the issue. 😁 Also, most trips tend to be just a few days, you could pre-make the food at home, and keep it in a cooler. There's more than one way of getting around most issues. Be creative and have some fun with it. Heck, that could be part of the whole adventure, how to camp while being a vegan! You could probably start a KZbin channel on less. 🤣

[@rpliegos]

I am in the process of buying a used 2015 Wrangler Sport and have been watching your videos, I really like your content. The places you visit are jaw dropping gorgeous! And I love the way you narrate your stories, and no annoying music. Can't wait to get my Jeep to do some country off road. greetings from Mexico

[@mvilla235]

I commented about a year ago that I was going to own a JL one day. Happy to announce that I do in fact own a JL! Your channel is such an inspiration for what I want to accomplish with a Jeep, especially Marco. Cooking is one of my passions and seeing what you guys do and eat out on adventures is simply amazing! ✌🏽

[@chuckzechman7390]

Awesome! Spent some time in Yosemite, Lee Vining, June Lake, Manzanar, Mono Lake and Devils Post Pile nearly 4 years ago. Beautiful area. The cooking you guys do is always amazing. We caught up with you and Marco at EJS in April and my wife told Marco how much we loved the Cauliflower steaks. We've had them since. The mushroom sauce will be a nice addition. Safe Travels and God Bless!

[@markpate9656]

Beautiful country, hope the Gladiator is working out for you. Looking forward to seeing future modifications.

[@tripleminthehouse]

I love this channel. Coming from a long line of Toyotas for my off-roading, I love how you aren't anti anything. It's all about just getting out. Like what you like, and have fun and be nice.

That Marco rocks ,,, amazing trail chef. Great video !!

[@garymolony8880]

Spectacular countryside. Spiking tyres happens a lot in outback Aus so always carry 2 spares and quality repair kit. Love your content

[@ProjectDanH]

The views and the camping food alone is enough to make me want to quit my job and move west to join your crew. Amazing video Brad 👊

[@doggies.will.be.doggies]

Marco is a BEAST!!! What a grand guy to travel with...amazing.

[@BrianGlassEOD]

I follow a handful of overland/off road channels and get different things out of each. Your channel is the closest to my style. Camping and just driving around enjoying the scenery and trails. I don't cook as much as you guys or as well but you're right, there is something enormously satisfying about preparing a good meal on the trail (although most nights it's the dehydrated stuff for me). That was a great drone shot of the camp and I don't know what kind of camera you use but the quality and clarity of the video is top notch. Keep doing what you're doing Brad.

[@larswedelgreen1147]

Just love your channel, cant wait to get a jeep. All the best from Denmark up north

[@terryandteresa]

Bisquick peach cobbler in a dutch oven is incredible on the trail.

[@TrailRecon]

Sound really good!

[@insaynbcr]

@IrishStew Trade the yellow cake for spice cake, and absolutely DO NOT stir any of it. Just dump in some chunks of butter, dump in the fruit with some juice, dump in the spice cake mix, dump a few more chunks of butter, and then drizzle some soda, or peach juice in a criss-cross pattern. Let it do its thing. You'll have cobbler, cookie, and gooey goodness all in one cobbler!

[@nachovalenti]

Thank you for another great video Brad and sorry for your puncture. Waiting for the next,part 2.
