CROSSING DEATH VALLEY

[@jcure]

We (3 of us) did all this in 67 stock Bronco pickup in 1970. No video or fancy rigs. Just camping out of the back. One hill we were on in the Panamints, Pinto Peak, was covered in a sea of ladybugs. Ah high schoolers. Pretty fearless. We used Mitchell's Death Valley Jeep trails. (1969)

[@racingcafe125]

I always says that music is 90% of a documentary if your images are good but when your footage is awesome, the results is PERFECT. Big fan from Italy👊🏼

[@AliciaInJeep]

agree!

[@jimallen8238]

Shaun, your videos are the very definition of what this platform can provide. The fact that you take us with you, immerse us in the adventure, and show how you share the journey with friends makes it a hard act to follow. Well done, as always.

[@TheStoryTillNow]

Thank you so much.

[@AliciaInJeep]

totally agree, amazing work, beautiful views, nice music - proper professional film

[@blueduster74]

The 395 corridor is one of the best off road areas in the world. So much beauty, mild to hard core and camping/hiking/fishing that rivals Colorado. It’s one of the few things I miss about living in NV and SoCal.

Your film cuts are a work of art, sir!

Your background music is so appropriate for the surroundings. I was there with my cousins in the late eighties that were off road racers. A trip I will never forget.

[@dougdegraff5892]

Opening scene, I recognized immediately. As I have been going to Mountain View Barbecue in Walker, California for the last thirty years like a once a year pilgrimage to Mecca. Your not wrong calling it the best in California.

[@chuckc6515]

Absolutely phenomenal content man. Thank you for putting the time and effort into making stuff like this so those of us who can’t make huge trips like this can enjoy it through you.

[@SPerryfevr]

Unreal scenery! Hat yes! Very cool! This has to be 2 years ago. 😊. Ginger’s truck with those red lights is tre cool! Maury can cook!!😍

[@castle228]

All of TSTN adventures I've watched up to this point have been monumental, but this one is definitely top 3 for me. Those sights were phenomenal and the mines were super cool, definitely something I'd love to explore. Thanks for taking us along, Shaun. Cheers!

[@Garrison169]

Walking into those old mines is a good way to die suddenly in a cave in, or very slowly when a rock slide blocks your way out.

[@1969camaro3964spd]

Your videos are very good. I went to death valley about 10 years ago in the middle of summer. The heat was ridiculous and the scenery made think I was on the surface of Mars. It's a truly unique area and I'm glad I went there.

[@chaleowin7732]

Fantastic video. Fun fact: Death Valley is 282ft below sea level. The music at 19:30 hits hard.

[@gagelaney3874]

Thanks for showing the nature! I just stumbled on your videos and have to say, it’s nice to see someone show what the scenery is instead of just driving or talking. Nice work man!

[@TheStoryTillNow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ryanparkhurst4703]

Shaun, Hello from Nashville Tennessee. The Music city. Let me start by saying, you have become a great photographer. I am a television director and I see your moves, great work man. The police officer in this video reminded me that I needed to tell you, your channel got me through the lockdowns and I still watch every video. I have been building my overland rig for about 3 yrs. now. I haven't driven it yet. Your videos give me inspiration to keep on building. Thanks man, keep it going as long as you can. #Notwheelingyet

I’m in middle TN as well.

Don’t know how how old this video is but it’s a damn!! Good One. The Story Till Now is the King of Off Road adventure on KZbin. Great content

[@davidroot9406]

I love your adventures. I watch videos when I want to relax. Camp meal suggestion. Take 5 gallon bucket and peel ruset potatoes until full. Put through potatoe fry press. Fill 5 gal bucket with sugar water. (Sweet to taste) add lemon juice to keep fries from browning. Soak 24 hrs. Time can include trip. Don't forget 5 gallon lid Lol. Deep fry in peanut oil, not vegetable oil. Enjoy knowing the secret to McDonald's French fries all night long. Just give me a shout out for giving up secret! Don't forget salt.😂Pat fries dry before frying with paper towel and after frying. Oil and water don't mix. The rest should be self explanatory. Save discarded oil to 5 gal bucket and reuse later.

[@debbiehenson227]

The hat looks good on you, and ive been all over those places as a kid my dad and mom were into gold , ⁵ kids living and adventureing all over desert, in panamints theres old ghost town to hike to crooss 7 waterfalls.❤

That desert orange during sunrise and sunset is so amazing, I loved seeing it when I lived in NV

Hat YES!! You set a new standard for cinematography.

[@quemar-N8IV]

there's honestly nothing better than going for a ride with yall, your videos give an enhanced, entertaining, and educational outlook and views of some of canadas oldest and hardest, but beautiful, off road trails and roads. I haven't off roaded much or at all but do travel with my family a lot and we are always, it seems, away doing it all from hikes, fishing, quadding, playground scoping anyways Keep em rollin boys because you have a newly subscribed major new fan here lol , look forward to more adventures of both yours and mine. 2 Thumbs Way Up!!!!

[@xjoverlanding2023]

Shaun, does Epic host tours like this through Death Valley? Do you use Onx Offroad, and could you share the trails or the entire trip? I am scheduled to go to the Dark Night festival, but I want to get out of the valley and up into those canyons and cabins. I love your videos - you make them look very professional. If you could share what hardware and software you use to make them would be great. XJ Overlanding Ron

[@danmiller6320]

I enjoyed that, the bigger the TV screen the better. Awesome.

[@Jan-pw4po]

Shawn this is probably my favorite you have ever done, just spectacular

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

Another fantastic Video Shaun.. Well Done. 29:03 I'm gonna date myself now.. The first time I went through Death Valley, I was maybe 3 or 4 years old, late 60's or early 70s with my parents, and my older brother. We were camping in an early 60's Grumman Panel van. And then in the early to mid 70s we went back to Nevada for the Mint 400 (My pop had a friend who was an entrant)

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Shaun. Y'all's adventures are always so epic your films always shows just how spectacular places are but must of all you and all your friends inspires people to go and explore.

[@robertedwards7430]

I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of this video. Death Valley in some places reminds me of the surface of the planet Mars. It's so surreal.

[@backcountryoverland103]

Awesome trip. I need to get back to DV. So much to see in a park with the land mass of Massachusetts. I spent almost two weeks there a couple years ago. Did a lot of the trails you did. Some camps were 2 or more days to get a good taste of things. If I had seen this video first, I'd have been nervous on my rig of choice thinking it was too big. But I squeeked through what was unknown to me just fine, in a Ram 2500 with a 700 pound camper. The run over the pass, past those historic cabins to "Charlies House" was sweet (I traveled the opposite direction you did). I even stayed a night in one, following the flag hoisting protocol. Thanks for not showing all the sweet treats I know you stopped at. Some good discovery for all. I will be going back I think this year. I'll be packing a screw gun, screws, tape, some single pane glass.....home repair tid bits, etc.....and do my part for cabin(s) upkeep along the ways. Though I may go back in my JKU.......yet to be determined. Travel Safe !

[@westcoasthistorytreasurehu6620]

The hat looks great, the mine is so cool, your filmography is excellent. Really enjoy your trips wherever you go.

[@timofthomas]

You really should have got yourselves up to Cerro Gordo whilst you were there - amazing place and Brett would have been pleased to see you, he has multiple mines including one that is rumoured to go down over 1200 feet mining galena (Silver/lead ore), and many other minerals and precious metals - he is busy restoring the ghost town so visitors can rock up - his road gets washed out once or twice a year so 4x4 is a must ;)

I think the most Epic component, was exposing the Ginger to that much sun!! What a Trooper! 😎😎 Something about the mountains not having snow caps, just feels wrong :)

[@ADPX24]

Looks like one I need to pour a whisky and get some popcorn going!!! Love the work you do and always look forward to the next video. The algorithm for YT or any social media never sleeps so you better get back on the trails an maybe head up to the PNW coastal range and see what we have to offer!

[@Urocyon09]

Great job! One very nice compilation video of your trip. Death Valley is indeed great, but I was glad to see you spend time at the Alabama Hills and in the Lone Pine area. That's a special area. I've done a lot of field work and recreating too in that area over the past 30-40 years. Keep it up, and come back.
