you've gotta be a professional documentary maker, or something. this video and past videos I've watched , are something we would watch on tv (i'm 52 :) ) made by a big company ..... absolutely amazing!! thank you

[@BakerOverland]

Thank you so much! But no, just a hobbyist putting videos together in my attic 🤓

[@one-WildCard]

@@BakerOverland Your work is above youtube quality. i hope someone scoops you up quick, Netflix, amazon, PBS.... definitely see it coming. Cheers and thank you

Great video. Amazing scenery. Awesome story telling. 😊

Glad you enjoyed it

[@scotjoubert9924]

Great job! I think Independence Overland is one of the most legit creators on YT… to score a trip with Tyler speaks volumes to me about you! New sub here.

[@BakerOverland]

I was absolutely honored that he agreed to this. And I agree. He’s one of the best out there and about half of the epic shots in this are thanks to him.

[@TheCrayonBrotherhood]

Man one of if not the best overland videos I've ever watched. Amazing work man, simply amazing.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks dude, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@drewjtaylor]

Bro, this film is ridiculously good. Well done.

That was an awesome video dudes! Colorado is so full of history and beautiful.

[@BakerOverland]

Man so true.

[@GirdlerFamilyOverland]

Such a great story as always! I can't wait to explore Colorado as well.

[@BakerOverland]

You’ll love it!

[@GirdlerFamilyOverland]

@@BakerOverland I know I will! We need to get you down to Texas sometime. 60 miles of undeveloped beach is calling...

[@wiked1_camptruck]

WOW! You sure are Killing it!!! 👍👍👍 Keeping it up Brother

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks bro. Appreciate your support as always.

[@TomJones0065]

Its Been a FEW Years sense I have been up At Twin Lakes, MAN ITS STILL BEAUTIFUL!! You Lucky DOGS!!!!!!!!

[@BakerOverland]

Very fortunate. Thanks bro.

[@seanwatson3790]

Beautiful storytelling. What you captured is a lot of the reason I love living out here and overlanding out here too. So much cool history

[@BakerOverland]

Thank you Sean. If you live in Colorado you are certainly blessed. Beautiful rich history.

[@DefiantOffroad]

I need to get back out there soon. The scenery out there is so amazing, and your outstanding camera and editing skills superbly showcases it!

[@BakerOverland]

It's hard to beat Colorado's scenery! Thanks for the kind words.

[@ZR2BIZON]

Wow! I thought I was watching an episode on the history channel until i realized i was holding my phone. Excellent content!

[@BakerOverland]

Dude love hearing that. I try to make these as good as I can so it always makes me feel great when people enjoy it.

[@TonyKuhnell]

Incredible storytelling, stunning imagery and a great trip!

[@BakerOverland]

Appreciate your help on it Tony.

[@chazbeaumont65]

Tyler sent me here. Great video, especially with the history. I've been camping up Half Moon Creek when in CO for the last 7 years. Beautiful, and cant beat those cool temps in July.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks for stopping by! Tyler is a solid dude. And I totally agree, CO in July is a cheat code.

[@RikAbramss]

I just wanted to tell you guys thank you I stayed up a little bit too late. Lol. Your video of your travels was worth it. Now i can go to sleep and dream of my travels in the future with my 1994 Chevy 4X4 that's being revived. Have a great night. Thank you again!!!

[@BakerOverland]

Love this Rick. Thanks for staying up too late haha

[@SimplyMustGo]

Great video! That trip looked awesome! I'd love to get out there and see some of those old mining areas

[@BakerOverland]

We should plan a trip man. I already miss it.

[@matthewandrews2363]

Just found this page. Love it so much. Great videos. Great stories. *chefs kiss

[@BakerOverland]

Bro, thank you so much! Glad to have you on board. 👨🏻‍🍳

[@TomJones0065]

P/S The Stories and THE HISTORY ARE AMAZING!!!

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks Tom. I love the history too. Adds a lot of richness to the trips.

[@JordanPattersonM]

Great video… love the historical context

[@BakerOverland]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@ZenOverlanding]

Such a good video, love how this story unfolded! Got to watch while camping in the ozarks with a lucky spot that has service, fortunately when I got your notification for the premier, I had to watch. 👊🏼

[@BakerOverland]

So glad you got to tune in bro.

[@jeffreyajello6046]

Truly amazing work!

[@BakerOverland]

So glad it worked for you! Hope you'll stick around!

Top notched editing. Im in CO and will try to make it here. Thanks for the video

[@BakerOverland]

Have fun!

[@itsaboutfam]

1st time watching your channel and WOW. Love the history of the area and the views are absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed every minute of this video..thank you👍

[@BakerOverland]

❤️❤️

[@nestorcarrasco]

Master piece film. I like your storytelling so much! This piece deserves more views! Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱

[@BakerOverland]

Thank you friend! 🇨🇱 🇺🇸

[@reedjack6564]

Love the classical music with cellos during the aerial shots. Very classy.

[@BakerOverland]

Thank you. It seemed like it matched the majesty of the mountains more than some other types of music. I’m glad you agreed with the selection. I selected pieces by Bach for that.

[@Live2dayWanderland]

Great video, loved seeing all you guys together!! Really cool old mine

[@BakerOverland]

Appreciate that Jason. 🤘🏼

[@marcosargen3729]

Hearing the journals of those men along with the video really made me subscribe.

[@BakerOverland]

Dude thank you so much!

[@Trailfeast]

Incredible video!

[@BakerOverland]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alpinetactics]

This really was an excellent story. Been a fan for a while man, but geeze… you really went above and beyond on this one. I just watched it with my kids. We all loved it.

[@BakerOverland]

Man that makes me feel great that the whole crew was able to watch. Thank you for sharing it and letting me know. Tell them I said thank you for checking it out too.

[@FastRackOverland]

Brother!!! This is another masterpiece! I absolutely enjoy your storytelling and I’m already looking forward to the next episode.

What an intro! I am Hooked!

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks man! I had a lot of fun making it.

[@freelradventures]

Congrats!! Man... Congrats for the way you told this story. I am from Portugal, an ocean apart of the US but i felt like if it i was living on those mining days

[@BakerOverland]

That’s so cool that you felt transported to those mining days! I definitely did too. Thanks for watching friend!

[@AaronandTaylor]

Great video! Love the work you put into it!

[@BakerOverland]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@JEEP-N-DIRT]

WOW, I'm just a little guy here on KZbin just kinda doing it for fun with a couple of videos on my channel and when I saw and communicated with TSTN and X overland adventures I thought how inspiring. Now that I've found your channel (while watching your quit my job video) dude your process of video, narration, etc... is absolutely incredible. Agree with the guy below who stated you're narration and everything else is is better than on regular TV. (and I'm 53 lol, cause that guy said he's 52). Subscribed!!!

[@BakerOverland]

Man that means a ton my friend. Thank you so much! I really enjoy this stuff.

[@clinttucker2002]

Great video, love the storytelling.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks Clint!

[@TravelinCatfish]

Gnarly intro to the video. Definitely keep it up, great job man!

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks dude. I reworked that intro a 100x probably haha. Definitely digging where we landed on it. 🤘🏼

[@JamesPuente]

What an adventure, and your storytelling is top class here, new sub 🙌

[@BakerOverland]

Welcome aboard!

[@PeterAlfonso]

Man your videos are absolutely incredible.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks Peter. Means a lot.

[@christianDipietrantonio]

Great video! And amazing story telling. Keep up the good work. Also, I’m from Arkansas but now I live in Colorado!

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks bro. Two beautiful states!

[@mikehale83]

Everyone has said it; f’ing amazing. Too much to say, but awesome commentary, videography, music, and editing. Better than any professional tv production. Fantastic job, and excited for the next adventure!

[@BakerOverland]

I have a bunch of talented friends helping me. Really appreciate the comment and glad it connected with you.

[@soonenough938]

Dude I just found your channel today (left you a comment on the “I Quit My Job” video), I am blown away by how good your content is. I’m getting XOverland vibes, not to say they’re similar stylistically or aesthetically, but in terms of the quality of the videos, the cinematography, the editing, the integration of really good music and narration, etc. There’s lots of good off-road/overlanding KZbin channels with more of VLOG-style content, which is great, not putting anyone down, but this stands out in terms of seeming like it was produced by a legit production company, as something you’d find on a streaming platform. This channel is way underrated... I have a feeling you’ve got some serious growth in your future if you can get more people exposed to your content, because they’ll immediately realize how good it is.

[@BakerOverland]

Wow! That means a ton. I try and make content that I enjoy watching so it always feels nice when I hear that someone else appreciates it too. Welcome to the channel!

[@bradADMaxe]

I grew up in this part of the country. Spent summers with my father and older brothers gold mining. My brothers would make enough to pay for their college every year. I have a ton of stories of the mill and surrounding area. I will tell a quick one. If you noticed how the mill was tilting over it would have already fell over if my father and an explosive expert didn’t bllow the ore bucket cable that runs from the top to the mill. Used to love the elk calls pretty much every day. I will try and post some old pictures if I can figure out how to. Great job.

[@bradADMaxe]

If anyone knows how to add photos please let me know.

[@BakerOverland]

So cool! Would love to see the pictures. Unfortunately you can’t post them here in the comments but if you email them to me I can share them. [e-mail]

[@tonyclark6958]

Great Video

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks Tony!

[@joshpruitt451]

This is great! Definitely got my attention. I’m glad I stumbled on your channel! We were up in that area a few weeks ago!

[@BakerOverland]

Glad you found the channel too bro. It’s a beautiful area for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🤘🏼

[@joshpruitt451]

@@BakerOverland absolutely! Look forward to combing through your videos! But even more excited to see what is still to come!

[@KC_moto]

Outstanding video. The content, cinematography, commentary, and quality.... It's fantastic. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Would love to hit up the Ozarks with you guys sometime. We live in KC, so we're not too far.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks so much. KC isn’t far at all. You are welcome anytime.

[@BrentHall]

Nice video, great storytelling! I found you from Tyler.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks for coming! Tyler is a good dude.

[@ChristianCareerJoy]

What an amazing video, awesome Toyotas help :)! You’re storytelling is at such a beautiful pace, drawing us into the moment! Reminds me of the Yellowstone park documentary with Kevin Costner (and I’m pretty sure he had a bottomless budget for that on Paramount+). Keep it up, we will keep watching!

[@BakerOverland]

Wow thank you so much. And yes the Toyotas help a lot haha.

[@amorton94]

What I find funny, or sad really, is I live in CO and have a truck with a RTT. This is all I want to do. Do I ever do it? Never. Why? Who knows... Sweet video. You just popped up on recommended. Subbed and looking forward to more.

[@BakerOverland]

Time to make it happen dude! You've got some of the most beautiful spots to check out in your backyard. If I were you I'd plug into some groups (you can find a bunch on Facebook) go to some rigs and coffee type events, meet other dudes in the space and invite yourself on some trips. That's how I got started. Good luck and thanks for the sub!

[@RoostersRoadTripsCo]

Great intro

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks!!

[@TRAVISVANZUIDEN]

Just found your channel!! I live in Colorado and I think your channel has great potential!! Reminds me of TSTN

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks pal. Comparing me to TSTN is extremely high praise in my book. He’s one of the best. 🖤

[@reedjack6564]

We were up there last weekend and passed you guys I believe (I was in the Sandy Taco). Very well done. Subbed.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks! It’s beautiful for sure!!

[@TrailExpedition]

This was so well done. Hoping to adapt some of your cinematic feel into my own content.

[@BakerOverland]

Go for it! And thank you.

[@BigRedGuy]

That is the Champion Mill .

[@BakerOverland]

Correct!

[@RWTT]

Awesome video, great job. New sub here!

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks for the sub.

[@darksideemt]

Man what an epic adventure with some amazing people! Would have been great to tag along but as I learned a couple years ago the high altitude is not my friend.

[@BakerOverland]

Yeah it was brutal up there. Basic things feel like a workout.

[@Benallst]

Dude amazing storytelling and videography. Where abouts did you find George Jackson’s journals? Sounds like a great read.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks bro. I linked his journals in the description. Check it out.

[@Venture2Roam]

Screw you Caleb. The first 4 minutes are better than anything I’ve ever done. Back to the drawing board for me.

[@BakerOverland]

You literally helped me make the first 4 minutes! 🤣 Appreciate you bro. More than you know.

[@chris74ify]

Any good swimming and fishing spots?

[@BakerOverland]

We didn’t do either on this trip but I’d recommend asking Tyler from @independanceoverland

[@matthewwesley1628]

Great video but just want to point out that this is not a mine. This is the Champion Mill. All of the ariel tramways you referenced before brought ore to this mill. The actual mines are much farther up and are much more indiscreet on the mountainside. Great video though but there is not shafts or adits in the vacinity of the mill. Its an incredible structure and an iconic landmark in Colorado but it is incorrect to call it a mine.

[@BakerOverland]

Thanks for sharing! Such a cool spot.

[@hoch_und_runter]

over all really nice footage and a nice made video but I am not a fan of that loud classic music. It does not fit some parts of the video. I do like the original storytelling in the background. You deserve more views and followers for sure.

[@BakerOverland]

Fair enough! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@hoch_und_runter]

@@BakerOverland Don't feel bummed by my comment, you do great work! And I keep watching more of your older videos (I am a brand new channel subscriber). Keep up the great work and quality

[@BakerOverland]

@@hoch_und_runter oh I’m not man. Thanks for the follow up though. I was experimenting in this one with the classical music (you’ll notice that my other videos don’t use that genre). I think it works well in this video but I know not everyone has the same taste. All good 👍🏻 ☺️

[@hoch_und_runter]

@@BakerOverland oh the music is great for the parts when you read the story. I found it not that great around 8:44 starting with the lightning in the Prairie but I understand what you tried to do. Btw. these shots are awesome, in the middle of nowhere with dark sky and lighting. awesome!
