CAMPING Quick & Easy - WEEKENDERLANDER EP 21 - Tacoma Mini Overland Adventure

[@LastLineOfDefense]

You guys take your dogs camping? What are some of your favorite tips, or things to do with them / bring for them while you're out?

[@inglockwetrust6805]

More Gun Vids!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

@@inglockwetrust6805 Haha i promise I'll be posting some more here - kzbin.info/door/dwOuyd662ci4KCONr_0ynA - soon

[@bstodola160]

Where do you find these spots!? We’re coming in from Chicago to road trip in for our honeymoon and looking for some secluded spots like that.

[@jacobv133]

We have THREE smaller dogs. We bring a screw in ground stake that have leads on while we are at camp just to ensure they are safe at all times with us. Enough lead for them to be comfortable; they love the hikes though! Love the non-lethal options you carry at all times, I carry a POM with me everywhere along with my conceal! Love the vids Mike!

[@camsue76]

Nothing extra required for the pup, minus a ball. Typically go places where the my GSD can run free. Some fetch and exploring and he's happy.

[@pt6134]

i have been working from home with a kid around for 8 months.. life is so redundant. this video captures my late 20's so well and has brought me to tears.

[@tclg1]

It's never late to start doing things a little differently brother!

[@VMGIN]

Great audio mix / edit. You emphasized sounds of the environment and it works well with the volume of the background music. You are conveying the mood and feeling well with interesting visuals. It also feels a bit more candid and "less produced" which is a style in itself. I'm enjoying your content. Great Job !

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Appreciate it!

[@Iam_Machines]

I agree. I liked the production value (or lack thereof) of this video

[@LivinSharpGarage]

I'm genuinely surprised you don't have more subscribers your videography skills and content are really top-notch. And the over landing build you have on that Tacoma is freaking sick! 🤘

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Appreciate the kind words - share the channel with your friends and maybe i'll get there eventually. ;)

[@marvinwilliams8952]

I second this statement. GREAT vids bro!

[@lvwrx]

Sriracha and Sweet Baby Rays....match made in condiment heaven!!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

mmmhmmmmm

[@domanfp]

Whatever you do DO NOT JUMP ACROSS THAT CREEK!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha i survived some creek jumps and log crossings this time around.

[@domanfp]

Last Line Of Defense hope you at the very least flipped your crocs into 4wd

[@Iam_Machines]

oh man everytime I see that clip of you turning your ankle I cringe. I did something similar back in the day and my ankle still clicks ...

[@NK-vw4ms]

love that you went to a 2WD spot. Shows you truly love nature and not just testing your rig.

[@ButerWarrior44]

what's 2WD??

[@vanlifeish5465]

Definitely voting for a camera gear video! Love seeing what people use for outdoorsy and more rugged type stuff.

[@julion.8709]

A while back you asked for what people would like to see in your videos. For me, I always thought that some B roll-esque footage would look cool. Nice to see that opening sequence. Hope to see you incorporate that more in the future. Great vid as always Mike.

[@Darkpyro372]

At last, another weekenderlander video!! Thanks Mike for the upload as always, looks like you two had a pleasant time in such a beautiful spot. Looking forward to the next one!

[@christopherlingerfelt944]

the way he said "oooo survival cookie!"

[@pilotbuckus4100]

I wish we had places like this in NC. Overlanding can be tough on the east coast, finding the right spots are just nearly impossible.

[@N8JLS]

[@amorton94]

And another one bites the dust! *beat plays in background*

[@brokenhandle]

I went paddleboarding for the first time last month and LOVED it. Kinda getting back into kayaking too. Love your channel!

[@Dampydan]

Dude at 3:12... for half a second I totally thought a cougar walked behind you 😂

[@GATORADDAM]

Absolutely! Nothing like even a short time in nature. Great video. Glad to see Ashley getting into being on camera. It's so much more interesting when one of you isn't hiding. Haha.

[@yp8120]

Loved your Weekenderlander! Thank you for bringing the beautiful outdoors to us and for inspiring us to go out and explore! You and Ashley make it look so simple and easy.

[@SoCaL7]

Received an e-mail notice today that my LLOD holster for the Sig P365 has been shipped! Looking forward to it and thank you!

[@basedury]

I'm a beer guy but those wild basins seltzers are soooooo good.

[@DanielDunn]

That’s a pretty happy doggie.

[@davidyergensen4509]

@Last Line Of Defense - Mike, I found your channel a few weeks ago and I must say that I really enjoy not only the variety of topics, but also the level of detail you provide. Also, your editing, production and presentation is very good. Thanks for the great content. Cheers.

[@abernathykaleb]

Its your channel buddy do what you want .

[@josebalboajr4992]

Love your videos and all the gadgets you use. Thanks for sharing. Take care and God bless

[@matthewgurney6956]

Great video!!! Love the pure nature, I definitely need to just start going out on the weekends! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@RolandoNispiros]

Nice short trip with a good recap of your gear.

[@ChristopherConte]

It's great rewatching these and see how your filming/editing has changed since Episode 1. I love the B-Roll early on. I always look forward to these! Would love to see a BTS on the camera gear, how you film while camping, etc.

[@shawnlindsey_]

Loving the switch to KCs man!

[@jakeboss2653]

This is what i was waiting for! As much as i love the trips in the mountains with amazing scenery, I really love this trip to the woods, with surrounding forests . Hope there's going to be more in the future

[@justdotheconstitutionjdtc5252]

You and Ashley make a great couple. It looks like you're having a great time together. I really enjoyed going along with you on this weekenderlanding trip via the video. I have a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL that I want to take weekenderlanding with my wife and Malamute and Husky/Malamute dogs.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Thanks! Nothin to it, but to do it!

[@RyanRKJ]

Watching this video makes me really want to get out camping soon. I'm in the middle of a move, and right now, most of my camping gear is 5h away from me. Hopefully we can get that sorted soon.

[@markperritte]

Yes on the camera 📸 gear ,would love to see

[@brianhockstock9466]

If you guys can find them around you, Crook and Marker drinks are phenomenal if you don't want a lot carbonation, and they're zero sugar and zero carb! Highly recommend.

[@mitchellhennings493]

Yes on your film equipment

[@istj777]

I appreciate you posting info on all your gear and the links. Thanks !

[@hidog420]

That place looked like a bear haven to me? Brother, you're photography is incredible.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Didn't see any remnants or tracks, but I'm sure they roam through. Thanks man!

[@michaelserrano4597]

Man awesome video. Love the simplicity. That’s what makes it super organic. The music is always on point too. Cheers from California brother 👍🏽

[@kevinwilson3686]

Man I love these videos, thank you for the adventure!

[@jackbailez2322]

So wholesome

[@vincenisly8699]

I have always enjoyed your videos, but seems to me this one is extra great! Love the b-roll and music... great job!

[@Ww8.3]

Really love the videos. The sounds the camera picks up is great

[@ZD14]

Awsome content man. Been following you for over a year and got my Tacoma because of this channel. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼

[@Michael_Tran]

I am always amazed at how many gears you have on your camping adventure. Love it man!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Yeah definitely don't 'need' more than half of the stuff I bring - but I test a lot of gear while I'm out, and it makes it a little nicer, so why not.

[@Michael_Tran]

@@LastLineOfDefense Thats why you get the big money. JK..haha

[@malikkazakhstan5076]

Место шикарное!

[@VikingBushcraftandSurvival]

Awesome video man, love your weekenderlander series and this one is next level, the audio and video effects are fantastic. Love it man, great stuff, keep doing what you do brother, cheers man.

[@amorton94]

I just got my holster yesterday. I love it!! Well worth the wait. Great design and great work.

[@ProneToRome]

@3:42 her look lol. Finally!!! A camping video. It’s a good restart, looking forward to more from you two. As far as the dog stuff, I have an Aussie, herding balls are easy to bring and most dogs love them. I would really like to see your bike rack setup.

[@UrbanArmed]

Looks like a killer spot for a chill getaway man, awesome vid as always.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Appreciate it!

[@robkirkland7982]

Great video, thanks for bringing us along.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jblopez1990]

That subtle Dude Wipe flex 💪

[@aturk36]

Would like a video on your camera gear! Thanks

[@silverrunner8687]

CO is probably yearly overall cooler than MA but you keep the Fox pepper spray in the truck all the time? I like that size also along with a smaller bottle in my jacket or day pack. Is it ok to leave it in the car in hotter weather? Agree it’s good to have a couple options. (And train, train, train w the other options!)

[@shauncollins4755]

I saw the black dot! What do I win? Hopefully whatever your testing;)

[@superdutyzack]

I think the they are the FLEX 3 KC lights

[@jankie55]

Inspiring videos. I just got the Rack installed on my new Ranger and my RTT is going on this weekend. It's 100 degrees here in Texas, but might head up into the mountains soon

[@RedneckDaddy100]

What part of Texas?

[@jankie55]

@@RedneckDaddy100 Dallas area

[@jsoverland]

Awesome!! Keep those cinematic videos coming! Nice creek, that's good sleeping sound! I am running the Yeti 400L and I get about 48 hours with my ARB fridge, but thinking of upgrading to the 1000 Yeti for longer days outdoors.

[@mattgreenecomposer]

I like the style to this video.

[@herman88888]

Like so many here, love the series and all that you do Mike

[@maxpayne0006]

Good music throughout too!

[@neilechols7364]

Tell me more about that coffee filter! Love your videos and the practices you teach. Keep it up.

[@BrantleySmithNC]

I could taste that food over here in NC! Keep up the good work.

[@randygood3399]

Love the logs for leveling..

[@spliffin5300]

Hell yeah always a nice surprise

[@jlu2912]

Camera gear video sounds good. Thanks for the content.

[@0731mm]

Good to hear you thoughts about the sprays a of course the “ the last line of defense “. Me too

[@hunterpaylor9522]

Great video man. Hope you guys are doing well

[@besta_aventura3602]

Yes, make the video about your camera gear, drone, microphone etc etc...by the way, love the vídeos about gear review and overland, keep the good work. Cheers from Portugal @crazysurvivalteam

[@caydenlee6096]

weekenderlanders are the best.

[@jeffreycarpenter2097]

You may have covered this in an old video but what’s your coffee setup? Any links?

[@es0terra]

Sriracha goes on EVERYTHING! It will even make your camera gear edible. Also, you HAVE to try a sriracha and peanut butter sandwich....seriously....I know it sounds gross...but it’s freaking awesome! The Bomb! You can thank me later!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

You're right, it sounds horrible, haha. But I've found stranger things delicious, so I'll probably give it a go...

[@Obviously_Steve]

We're gonna need a mountain biking/SUP weekenderlander

[@brianszr2177]

Sure do like your videos! I have no clue how I fixed it to where I can comment on here just glad it works now!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Glad it's fixed!

[@dillonschoolcraft7213]

Mike, love the videos! Could you possibly do a video explaining how to find trails that you're able to camp on? Living in West Virginia, most of the Trailheads are for hiking, not many for off roading. Not sure how to go about finding trails permissable to drive on and pull over to camp. Thanks!

[@turbo_lander7301]

Yes, would like to see video on your camera gear!

[@mds1422]

Yes, we would like to see your camera gear!!!

[@chaseroe5775]

You are correct. Bear spray is not as potent as human pepper spray, however it has a much larger area of effect than a regular can of mace therefore very useful for a crowd situation. And even being weaker, I challenge you to spray some bear spray around you and not be deterred. I speak from experience, it SUCKS.

[@jtr82369]

OMG, thank you, I am buying one of those chairs LOL

[@reese_melven_fishing]

I would like to see a walk through of your camera gear/set up! Looking a new set up myself!

[@coryyuh1108]

With all your sponsors and tech I think it’s time for an upgraded water cooler haha

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha as far as water jugs are concerned, whatever feels like the right size for the trip, I go ahead and use - I have a half dozen of em or so.

[@donnieez]

Yay new vid

[@TacticalNorwegian]

You should check out the Thermacell if you havent already, I use it when camping and hunting and it's an abolutley lifesaver when it comes to keeping the musquito away!

[@mtnkat5324]

Of the tents you’ve used, which one (or two) would you recommend for an FJ cruiser owned by a short (5’ tall) female? Not sure what I can set up or put away by myself without too much trouble.

[@brycenichols795]

You should do a weekendlander around the Willamette pass area in Oregon, it would totally be worth it to donate money for your trip expenses to see your experience here in Oregon!

[@victorc6249]

Would you share a vid talking about your personal experience with people approaching you in trails?

[@joemacgames1]

I see that you run BFG tires. I’m in CO too and am getting a gladiator soon and have seen split opinions on the BFGs vs Duratracs, specifically around snow performance. What are your thoughts?

[@oxygen9953]

Figured this would be a good place to ask. What do you use to protect the body of your truck from scratches? Just came back from some offroading here in the south eastern US and I have some minor scratches from the trees that brushed up against the vehicle along the trail. The branches were unavoidable as the trails are very narrow. Love the videos!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I typically embrace the trail pinstripes - but on this truck specifically the entire thing has a 3M wrap that protects it.

[@casuallycamping1737]

Interesting... Our Jackery will still show 2watts pulling from our Dometic even when it not running. I presume this is the small amount of power to run the LED and CPU. Ours is also the CFX 35 so maybe the wifi pulls more energy? 🤷‍♂️

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Ah could be, I didnt have the WiFi on, and it may just not pick up a 1 watt reading. It obviously uses a small amount of energy for the display, etc.

[@MafiaHitmanX4]

Where is this at? I would love to camp there!

[@paytonlacivita6756]

Definitely interested in camera gear - thought the black dot was something on your camera until you started moving and it disappeared lol

[@Yeahhhhbuddyyy]

I do want to see your camera gear! Been interested in doing a video of my truck topper/camper shell overland build

[@lovablepersona5000]

It's like an I Am Jake vid with brand new gear.

[@dannyschwarz6469]

Do a video on the camera gear! Also what’s with the low key sensor blur when you were talking about the leveling. New ditch lights?

[@Taco_d_pastor]

where your dog sleeps when go to camping?

[@GarasiTarKamcs]

Enjoy.....

[@JDJD-hg9hu]

Why do you keep the refrigerator so cold? 39 degrees would save you a little energy and your food wouldn’t freeze.

[@cmcer1995]

Really nice video, really like it when you go to a place with green vegetation and trees and creek near by. Those burn scar areas are kind of depressing. Very scenic spot. I always carry a variety of protection as well. Never know when you might run into Antifa, invading suburbs now too but getting their rears kicked. I also am into short 1-2 day trips for now. Ever thought about motion detecting solar lights for around your rig?

[@yotaland]

What do you do with your pillows and blankets

[@matthewduffield4375]

Looks rly nice

[@HarvyDangerFilms]

1 vote = Yes on the camera gear.

[@edgardorodriguez1314]

Yes to camera gear

[@davefs9441]

Good vid brother! To your pinned question I’ve been looking for options to take our pooch but in the Wasatch Mountains of UT we have watershed restrictions. How prevalent are the pet restrictions there in CO (if at all)?

[@eeevennn]

Just got a rooftop tent (Thule Kukenam 3) and one thing I am really concerned about is the anti theft design which is essentially none......should I be concerned about these things getting stolen? Do you have any recommendation on ways to keep them secure?
