First 48 Hours Truck Camping ALONE in Mexico

After a long caravan down to Mexico with friends, this week I set off ALONE to camp in some of the most beautiful and remote landscapes of the Baja California Peninsula....but NOT without a few surprises along the way 😳

would you have driven out into the deep sand on your own?

[@kimmetcalfe6408]

Yes I would!!

[@matselik]

never

[@tammycruz8189]

Yup 💯

[@brianuncharted]

Yep. The trick is airing down your tires to about 5 psi to drive on sand. It gives you a wider footprint so you don't sink as much and better traction.

[@frankmetz867]

Air down your tires on sand

[@EvanDeitrich9]

Terra just looks like she loves her life ❤

[@SheRoamsWild]

Shes been thriving down here!

[@nicolejoanne4793]

The way those two cows whipped their tails in such synchronicity wow, and the herring flying away followed by a manatee flying, right place right time love the signs ✨

[@SheRoamsWild]

It’s been such a beautiful, serendipitous time☺️

[@melindarains3130]

She's having her best life. Enjoy yourself.

[@pamelarw58]

Alex living the best life…. you & Terra look SO happy & tanned! Snorkelling with Terra looked fantastic! Stay well & travel safely! 💜🇦🇺🐨🍻

[@Julie-mg9xk]

Tara’s little paws under the water are sooo cute lol

[@MamaBearTravel]

The mobula rays were sooooo cool!

[@SheRoamsWild]

They are so incredible!

[@mccastelo]

I am LOVING THE underwater video work. Watching Tara swim was so cute too!!! Wow great job on the video stuff!!!!

[@davidsadowski2029]

The setting crescent moon at the beginning of your video brought to mind the following limerick: The crescent moon sets, and the sun also rises, Moving heavenly bodies are pretty prizes. Whether in a mansion or a truck, So many people get stuck, But your feral roaming brings happy surprises.

[@janisaschim2429]

Great job driving in the sand. I found myself saying, “go, go, go”. I once got my van stuck, in the sand and it cost $125 to get it pulled out. But, the tow truck driver was awesome and told me the tools to have should I get stuck and to go, go, go. Your Mexico adventures look awesome!

[@brucepedersen4032]

Mexican sun is tanning you and lightening your hair. All good. Glad to know you are snorkeling, very good from there south. Slow down a little, you have arrived in real baja. Also privately , forget the shovel, try going in the water. Cleans better too. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@toddramsay977]

There are a lot of expatriate retired Americans in La Paz when you get there. Loving your Mexico Adventure! I hope you are too!

[@neenee_marie77]

I loved watching Tara swim!

[@deeproamer2431]

I'm sure somebody's always suggested it, but get an air down system and a good compressor will make all the difference in the world when you're out there in that loose gravel and sand. We've traveled the Baja for years and that's how we get out on those beaches that we have to ourselves.

[@simply.leen.]

This video was soooo amazing! Watching you and Tera live your best lives is so wonderful. Snorkeling together. Hanging out on the beach. So sweet. And how brave you were to try (and succeed!!!) to drive on that sand. I'm so impressed. :)

[@DavidPaxton-tj1wt]

Good choice on skipping the mid day sun. You would be surprised how many northerners come to South Fla and spend the whole day on the beach or golf course or whatever only to spend the next couple of days in agony regretting their decision.

[@ruebennomura9143]

Good video enjoy your life have your dog with you that amazing

[@brenthiteoutdoors]

Great Video! Thanks for sharing!

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

Alex you are absolutely glowing. I love that you're having such a great time. I used to drive on the beach when I lived on the coast. It can be quite harrowing. You fid an amazing job but get those e brakes checked. The snorkeling scenes were so beautiful and so was Tara perched up on that rock. Have you any plans to check out LA Paz? I love the beaches there however, it's not as secluded as it used to be. Be safe no matter what and have a beautiful week ❤

[@edgarchegwin961]

Hi Alexandria, nice video, rgs ❤

[@shaunmoller2997]

Great episode thanks take care

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thanks for being here!!

[@shirleybuckley1808]

Great video!

[@kirkshannon709]

Spoiler alert! My wife and I saw you on the Pacific side Monday! Won't give away exact location, but great to see you and your pup! Good luck on your travels.

[@jimsears2434]

Your self inflicted anxious panic pre attempt is funny....kinda like you've already imagined the worst and nervously attempt to alter the near future with overwhelming worry...if that makes sense...lol. The only way to know your 4 wheel drive capabilities is to exceed its limits and know how to recover in many different senerio's! It's just a learning curve....but ya made it funny with how proud ya were to get out of there! Good job..👍

[@jbusley]

Snorkeling with my dog just made my bucket list. I grew up chasing antelope off grid in an old Scout International. Great job with your truck. Did everything right. 🤙🏼 except for those eggs

[@donniejmanos]

Loved how Terra got up on that rock while swimming! And love that you caught the rays jumping out of the water.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Shes such a rockstar in the water!

[@gthomas6750]

Yes, you can drive in reverse with the E-brake on. It will drag. If you have the E-brake on and put the truck in gear (don’t touch the gas), the truck shouldn’t go anywhere. This means the E-brake is adjusted correctly. Good job in the sand.

[@brianuncharted]

If you're going off roading, especially in sand, you need to air down your tires. In sand you want to air down to about 5 psi. Off road usually around 15 psi is good. By airing down you get a wider footprint from your tires and better traction. The wider footprint also keeps you on top of the sand instead of digging into it and getting stuck. Be safe!!

[@SheRoamsWild]

thanks for the tip! I did, just not enough it seems to make a huge difference - that said, I'm glad I didnt since my compressor went out! Can't wait to get better tools back home to really give things a go.

[@brianuncharted]

@@SheRoamsWild if it's in your budget, get yourself an ARB onboard air compressor. It mounts in the engine compartment so it's out of the way. You just need to store the hose and attachments somewhere. It's a real nice system. Quadratec has the full twin onboard system kit on sale for $616 right now.

[@MalikUmrani]

Good Morning Alex Happy Sunday ☺😊

[@ClairenParkerontheRoad]

Yeah I just don't know a thing about off roading so I'm impressed by your knowledge

[@Alicelovestheoutdoors]

Such a great video! I love the filming of Terra swimming in the water. She is such a great companion for you. You did very well handling the truck in the sand....cud-dos to your dad for showing you some tips. Look forward to next week and enjoying more of your adventures!

[@aaronriedel5372]

Good video!

[@SheRoamsWild]

Thank you Aaron!

[@tomwall8403]

Really great episode! Keep having fun. 👍

[@deshawniskeng-mixedmediatv]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@tomrut3653]

Normally you can back up with the e-brake on but will hold better going forward.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Good to know! I was pretty concerned when I realized🥹

[@Beer30247]

Good to carry bucket use it to fill up seawater fill your holes where your tires are at all four two wheel drive or four-wheel drive whatever direction you're going pour the water out that direction Sand will compact down you could drive straight out easier than max tracks if you're near a body of water if not and you got plenty of water on board sacrifice to get out not all your water but most drive careful drink a few beers for me USMC for life

[@robertoambrosi9876]

❤

[@jeremyharbin22]

Do you have a problem with your dog wanting to drink the salt water? My dog loves the water and I'm afraid of him getting a belly full of salt water. Cool videos!!

[@frankmetz867]

E brakes don’t hold well in reverse

[@toddramsay977]

What brand and size of tire to you have on the truck?

[@PNWXOverland]

Friend I love your content but the channel should be called "Questionable Decisions ".....lol

[@karenolson5556]

You make me Nervous...out there by yourself!!! These days...there are Strange people out there that wouldnt hesitate to harm anyone thats vulnerable!!! Please be Careful!!!

[@davidfarmer1666]

Your air down wasn't enough to do any good. To air down enough to do any good you should have been to about 8 to 10 lbs.. The same holds true for sand or snow.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Maybe not, but I was just grateful to not be at 8-10 when I had to drive a few pavement miles to fill them back up :)

[@richardplunk3910]

don't go to Mexico and give them your money 😮stay safe USA USA

[@scruggl1n]

Sometimes doing things on your own are good for the soul. I was always terrified of doing things alone until I actually did it and it started to be something I love. Just to get out and find yourself pretty much.

[@SheRoamsWild]

Totally agree! It’s so empowering to get out and get after it, even if that means going alone :)

[@petra6099]

❤

[@elizabethlanda7208]

your videos are so inspiring and you sound so cute speaking Spanish

[@ambarj96]

The manta ray jumping at 7:18 ! So cool!

[@tammycruz8189]

I saw that too 💯 beautiful 😍

[@le6297]

Not a manta ray.

[@stephaniegoodenough3341]

Terra is the best companion! Love the video of her swimming with you!

[@Banagal]

That was a beautiful video, and I enjoyed it very much. Terra looked so relaxed and happy.

[@SheRoamsWild]

She’s been really enjoying this region!

[@goober9983]

The view of Tara swimming. Love that 4:45

[@sacredstonecards9051]

Are the people nice down there. Very nice video. 😊

[@wextremeart4399]

thank u because i didn't no that about air in tires

[@tommyamaya4254]

❤ your adventure

[@mattwedelich347]

Great video 😊

[@tammycruz8189]

Its absolutely Gorgeous there. Thanks for sharing this journey n adventure with me. God Bless Ya'll. Safe Travels Always. Mucho Love from your friend in Michigan Tam ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💗

[@tammycruz8189]

P.s. U R Getting a sun kissed ( a tan ) ✨️ 💛 💖

[@pnw_element9822]

I wouldn’t camp anywhere in Mexico it’s just too damn dangerous I can think of so many bad things that can happen in Mexico anywhere in Mexico

[@edwardmoran1739]

I used 15 pounds on my Hummer H3. Never stop if possible, smooth speed but slow. Yes, look for tracks to follow. Yes, air up before back on highway. You did great!

[@jomicheleseidl2033]

I love your honesty about lack of experience off-roading and how stressy that is. I feel like that is missing from a lot of channels. It makes me feel a bit better to see I'm not the only one who can get stressed with new situations and challenges. What a gorgeous experience though, right? Thank you for sharing it with us. And sorry about the big mess you found after that rough road :(

[@ambercallicutt5870]

Love your channel! Thank you so sharing your journey and experiences!

[@Canthus13]

If I'm gonna be driving rough areas, I bring my eggs up front and they stay on the floorboard with a pillow on top and one underneath. Also, sand driving usually calls for 16-25psi, so even in your heavy rig you could go lower if needed.

[@conchscooter]

Airing down is a great skill to know when to use. I hate it as it takes ages to air back up not having an engine compressor but my Promaster does a lot better with less tire pressure. Enjoy the solitude.

[@ajfletcher8350]

Air down your tires and you can drive just about anywhere you want

[@GrateFu1]

Only use ebrake on severe angles. Keep up the good work.

[@LWYOffGridHomestead]

89° is hot for winter...i dont like that temp in summer...low to mid 70's for me...i do think I'd prefer it to snow though...keep having fun

[@SheRoamsWild]

yeahhhh its been pretty toasty! looking forward to cooler temperatures here though soon :)

[@kimmetcalfe6408]

Great video. Be safe, have fun❤️❤️

[@markh3376]

I pray you will be safe trips 😊

[@silandahenry7663]

Nature so nice

[@tomassanesson902]

So amazing

[@GK49245]

Glad your trip continues well. You are making solid decisions to keep your travels on track. Lovely settings. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonnygrizz]

Wow, what a spot, both land and sea were beautiful! Tara really seemed to enjoy it. Good maneuvering too! As far as the e-brake thing, live and learn. Safe travels!

[@petervandergugten]

When we do things for the first time We are all a little nervous It is good to see that you hve more confidence in your truck and can therefor look for nicer places to spent the night Hope you will find many more beautiful places Have FUN and be SAVE

[@freelyroaming]

Looks like you got some sun after we chatted! 🌞

[@SheRoamsWild]

Haha yeahhhhh I should probably cool it😅
