EP3 XOverland Baja Special // High Tides & Dead Ends

The team heads south from La Bufadora in search of their first beach camp down the Baja Peninsula! Ryan soon finds out that curiosity with a vehicle can get you into sticky situations fast, especially on a beach... Meanwhile, Clay and Rachelle continue teaching some foundational driving skills to the new ones behind the wheel. St. Ignacio is on the team’s list of places to explore, and it does not disappoint with its epic architecture and legit food. Ryan has an idea of an ancient mission ruin to find, and the team heads into the mountains in hopes that the road will continue... #xoverland #bajaspecial #anywhereispossible

This channel is produced just as good as an actual professionally produced cable TV show.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

We try! Thank you!

[@dougggiereid]

Disagree. It is much better than any TV show. High quality production all round. Thanks XO for another great adventure.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Hey Everyone! Thanks for being here, this episode is full of good times, even if those good times were stressful at moments...

[@timcripps9696]

Keep up the great quality content (: just finished the Arctic series and am bow trying to catch up on more!

[@brandonsyanez]

Love seeing a Tundra out there!

[@thomaszabriskie2124]

Your content is unparalleled. We are so blessed to get it for free on KZbin. You guys should be on network Television.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you very much!

[@MichaelRex81]

I am really enjoying these newer series. I used to watch y’all years ago and just couldn’t relate. These newer ones seem much more laid back and not taking yourselves so seriously. Keep it up.

[@jasonkidd5969]

I can never get enough of these videos! So captivatingly narrated, and so well put together

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@GingerAdventurez]

What a trip!

[@KurtWilliams-CruiserKurt]

“It would be better if we had some ice” “Sure” I laughed so hard! Great episode!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

😂😂😂 Thanks Kurt!

I'd love to get a group of Veteran's and Overlanding experts together for some adventures like this!

[@jeremeyarevalo2465]

I'd be interested LOL

[@Overland4All001]

Top Top Top !!! Funny thing about paper maps isn´t it? I love them ... What a great adventure this is turning to ... Guys, you really nailed it !! Thank you so much ... I may be late, or poor on information, but leaves me sad, not to see a big channel, or media group, to grab your adventures and brodcast them, all over the world !! These are quality contents and everyone that likes a good adventure should have access to it !!! Cheers

[@TBlack99]

I started watching your videos in early March 2022 after getting Covid and being stuck in my house for 2 weeks. Absolutely loved each and every video I’ve seen. Incredible content, scenery, and above all teamwork. Keep up the incredible work. Can’t wait to see where you go next

[@jwalker6907]

Awesome...great job Expedition Overland Crew!!!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

💯💯💯

[@Playmudd4by4]

Great series👋👋

[@jeffs4483]

I'm loving this adventure, another great series with many challenges. I can see on Google Earth how near impossible that trail is over those mountains. Looks like a mountaineering trail for hikers/horseback.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

That’s what we were told as well 😂

[@ianfinlayson7853]

Potent Potables.... haven't heard that in years!

[@gearlist]

Cinematography is so well done, thanks for another great episode!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@abdirasakmohamed1]

Great series! this is the kind of content you pay for coming to you for free... following it from Somaliland, the horn of Africa. Fantastic teamwork -and since I'm a Toyota fan, I must say that these trucks stood up to the difficult trains.

[@malimish]

Every amazing experience in Baja packed into one video! Beach driving, margaritas, caballeros on burros (burreros?), getting stuck, and the food... THE FOOD!!! Great job guys.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@clementwambui710]

it like watchi forza horizon 5 in reality...... I like this ❤

[@mingo0817]

love it to see the two families with so much synergy. The relationship you guys formed will be generational.

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Great adventures can lead to stress but later those are the moments we remember and grow better over time. What a great surf. Anyone bring some boards?

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Just some paddle boards.

[@adrianr514]

Baja Sur is pronounced Soor Like Sooner without the ne or sewer but with a soft w. Gave me a good laugh when i heard sure. Ignacio is Eeg (like Eek but with a G at the end) Nah (Like Nah I am good) and finally See-Oh just as the letters sound so Eeg-nah-see-oh. Loving the series and the effort!

[@riveroverland]

Hell yeah, brother!

[@jonahhorner9876]

These series are amazing!

[@tomasrivera1211]

Great adventure, I like your water filter.

[@systemsroofing456]

What a great channel , I never get bored watching it , my favorite. Great job

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@yorkchris10]

I remember the main highway and boulder field with burned/rusted vehicles and deserted gas station somewhere before San Ignacio. I had to carry extra fuel and it really had another world feeling.

[@MrBobconner1952]

Awesome adventure once again.

[@V4NLIFE_CANADA]

[@marcopologutierrez4772]

I’m from Tijuana you just passed by my house on your way to Ensenada .... which where I live now... campo zeppelin is a go to place for us ....great content guys

[@samwatts4309]

Loved the video!!! I do not know if you have a military background, but in all branches of service, you are taught to pack your equipment/ gear the same way, every time time, which basically reverts back to what's known as muscle memory. Keep the videos coming!!! Indialantic Beach, Florida 🍻🐊😎

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Great advice, thank you!

[@mattclegg1086]

Another great video, excellent series!

Thank you for watching!

[@revans026]

I have my recovery gear in a bright orange bag for this exact reason. When in a rush it's easy to find because it stands out. My medical kit is in a red bag.

[@LaBelle1085]

Could you do a video, or link to one about your water filtration system please? Love the videos! Thanks for making them!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Yes! We've got a list we are working on to put out early this winter. Thanks for watching!

[@johnnyrocker73]

Watch Matt's Offroad Recovery channel and pack a kinetic recovery rope. Could have had that truck out in a fraction of the time. Great content, keep up the good work.

[@mikemorgan4670]

That was a little more interesting.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Love it! A little bit of excitement is good for the team! Thank you for sharing this with us; I hope to one day get to Overland across the America's! :)

[@tmurray12]

Ugh!! Oh the horror! What in the world happened?! Making us wait a week. Of all the nerve. 😁😁😁 (another great episode!)

[@ponemdika2803]

Hi I am watching this video from india

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Awesome! Welcome!

[@MexicoDrones]

Love to see your Gaia track. But it looks like you were only an hour NW of the road from San Juanico to Mulege if you were near Rancho Nuevo. Hope you didn't backtrack all the way to San Ignacio. Gaia, Google, Maps.Me all have issues in that region. Best bet for us was Map E32 which seems to have every possible option. Baja 1000 moto team turned us onto that.

[@bluelineoffroad]

Excellent videography, as you would expect from XO. The problem, however, is that it appears that their trips are now aimed more at tourism rather than overlanding. I remember many of the earlier videos years ago when they actually showed more overlanding, and that is what I really enjoy. Don't get me wrong, it was still entertaining, but in my opinion, a little more focus should be given to overlanding, navigation, the vehicles, equipment, etc., rather than on scuba diving and restaurants.

[@aguill]

Your series has inspired me to build my own truck camping setup. Some day a full expedition vehicle!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@imrikkibobbi]

funny idea , haha and strange, should see how people camp and survive at music festivals.... the struggle can be so REAL yet when you have to take everything with you in possibly 2 suitcases or duffle bags, fly, and survive 4 days and nights .... the innovations and thought processes kinda mind blowing ... i've done both driving and flying for fests and the logistics you discover, learn and develop are down right amazing

[@jasonstilgebouer565]

Wow

[@mmagbie1]

If you are in that situation and you don’t have a second truck with a winch it is still possible to get out on your own. If you air down all 4 tires to 10-15 psi and get in 4-Low, the MaxxTraxx alone will be sufficient for self-rescue.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Very true! Just takes time and more effort but will work just fine.

[@m8tyone]

I am always amazed on how you guys do what you do. A great crew you have on your trek. I am just curious if you guys ever had problems with the cartel on your Baja journeys? More power to you and safe driving.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you very much! We have not had any problems thus far. We are always on high alert and asking locals everywhere we travel if there is any activity in the area, or places we should avoid.

[@lukelundy7358]

Super cool trip! We’d love to do something similar but need more experience. And it should be Dinfast not brinner 🤔

Ice- my dad has a tabletop electric icemaker. Add water to a reservoir, spits out several lbs of ice a day.

[@henrikm4657]

I got bogged to the hubs on a beach in Baja last year. Took me and another guy a few hours of digging and countless attempts with Maxtrax, crawl control, etc before getting the 4Runner out. I ended up having to winch the trailer out. Luckily I wasn’t very close to the water, so I didn’t have to worry about the tide. Next time I go, I’ll be bringing a Deadman anchor for sure.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Those beaches are no joke! Glad your got out ok!

[@lottour7811]

Shout out from manila Philippines ☝️❤️

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thanks for being here!

[@joseexpeditocolaresfilho9908]

BRASIL 🇧🇷

[@lorenworthington8739]

Did you give any thought to scouting the trail beyond the turnaround point with a drone ?

[@55thFox]

I have a question, why have lunch in a town that obviously has water and not top up your tanks before driving into the desert?

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Great question! We did top off on water before we headed out, just didn’t know how far in we would be able to get since none of us had been this way before.

[@87balexander]

Ever consider bringing a small dirt bike to use for scouting ahead and verifying road conditions? It’s obviously heavy/bulky, so not easy to just toss in, but I can see how it could be really useful.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Sometimes we scout with the drone or get out and walk a really questionable road. Stuff just happens and that’s part of it. Dirt bikes are great, we just don’t have the room.

[@black4460]

Trying to get some generals for months now. Supply chain is a mess.

Fantastic video guys! What comms do you guys use while in Baja? FRS?

Tacos were made to be eaten .......... by the Ford Ranger .......... not loaded with massive aftermarket parts and worshiped ? .......... correct ...... I am a little bitter that there are few aftermarket parts for my 1999 Overland Ranger ............. 😄

[@CarbaCars]

Might I suggest to put the recovery gear in bag with a different color, that way you’re looking for one bag that’s a specific color, and not 8 bags that are all black.

[@joannafridley]

I am 71 yrs old.i want to di this Solo. I know you travel with a mechanic but suggestions on whi could help me you a lot of what you have on your trucks. I am not afraid and I may be packing. I am not crazy. I also know gut and knowing where I am at all times is key.

[@laloolhouvum1634]

27:45 the very first time I've seen your face. I'm kinda shocked. Never seen your face in your family's overlanding channel, but in X overland. That's amazing😄

[@hoodoo_taco]

What seat covers are you using? Web site?

[@bryancollins1642]

Hey Clay. First my family and I love all your episodes and have watched all at least twice. I do water purification as a profession and I would love to see a loading up segment on that mini pelican water filtration system you got going. I could hear a pump running so I was wondering are you pushing through an RO membrane as well or just sediment and carbon filters. Any info from y’all would be intriguing. Also, loved the Walthal adventure as I’m also from Maui and I wanted you to know I caught in the credits how you kept the kids last names as waffle. Loved the touch there. You guys bless us and we thank you for your content

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you very much! The pelican system is called the Guzzle H20 - overlander.com/products/guzzle-h2o-stream We will work on uploading a separate video in the future that goes into it in a bit more detail. Thank you for watching!

[@garys.9105]

20 psi will show tread in sand

[@OutdoorActionPhoto]

I’m not sure why you would drive down to the oceans edge on a beach you do not know. That was a basic rookie mistake, for all the exploration you have accomplished. Makes for good video though.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Stuff happens!

[@OutdoorActionPhoto]

@@ExpeditionOverland And I’m a expert of stuff happens. Waiting for your next episode.

[@josevaldizan3062]

Do you guys have a water tank on the 200?

[@ExpeditionOverland]

We do not.

[@melbourne_aviation1689]

hi

[@6x6Tortuga]

So having a giant X on the doors isn't a great idea. If someone is target shooting they might take a shot. Maybe move the X to the bed area...

[@theduffmansean]

Yeah, tires don't get longer when aired down, they get wider. Literally look at a tire low on air and you see it bulged at the sides. Im confused as to why Clay would even make such a ridiculous and erroneous statement.

[@user-hd8ej8yx9p]

El gordillo nunca hace nada, sentado todo el tiempo no importa la actividad

[@pixelpressdigital6638]

Expedition Overland is a great channel, but I prefer the earlier series where things were more easy going. Taking $250k worth of equipment for a simple trip to Baja is fine, but then it's a bit overly dramatic with all the safety checks and "emergency" recoveries

[@joshpemble2837]

I know this is a “show” but sometimes it’s a little silly how extreme they make stuff sound…

[@cruisingjacksonrose7008]

I like your series. The shots and production are great. BUT you guys need to stop creating drama over every little thing. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. Real off road guys would laugh at some of this.

[@xplorefurther]

Typical Ryan, or is this staged? Nice rescue.

[@journeytobepresent5228]

Looked staged! Just like the lug nut.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Very typical, lol.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

@@journeytobepresent5228 We have never once, staged anything in all of our episodes and travels. Don't need to, adventure is always there if you're pushing hard enough.

[@journeytobepresent5228]

Yep that’s why he’s driving right at the water! 😂 Even show in the thumbnail. Just looks staged.

[@getoutmoto]

Honestly looked like the best most passable route, but hey, im always down for providing good content!!!

[@BlackBuzzzard]

Putting up the drone to get pics during a time sensitive "crisis" doesn't exactly lend credibility to the event.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

It was already up..

[@jackd2083]

Most of the point of these trips is to film the action. How many people do you think it takes to hook up a winch cable?😂
