Guadalupe Run - Lincoln National Forest

[@BillSprague]

The closest thing on earth to the music of heaven is the laughter of a child. Thank you for sharing her with us.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Bill Sprague It's why we do it! Love bringing her up in the outdoors!

[@livesofthefreemasons]

Sharing "her" with us? Fuck you're creepy.

[@livesofthefreemasons]

You are the reason that most people keep their children private. Goddamn I feel like I should call a service number to put you on a list or something you weirdo fuck. You must be Catholic.

[@romanmaxica7816]

Finally found the first family vlog. The vlogging skills have improved since the brothers camp vlog. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Watching them was inspiring during 2020.

[@aparmley]

While looking for a new vehicle and looking for the next chapter in my/our life, I am here in early 2022 discovering these videos, your family's story, and your channel. Here in 2022, I'm chuckling along with you and your daughter as the snow man will not come together... What brought me here -- I am searching for our first 4Runner and the hope that it will become a gateway to a lifetime of memories for my young children. With luck, we'll soon cross paths with y'all and be able to cook you a dinner on the trails. Thank you for sharing what you did back then/here and continue to to do today.

[@jmsuitter5]

Love watching the older videos when looking at going to specific areas so cool to see how far you all have come but these older videos are still golden

[@Shawn.Noonan]

Picked up my T4R on tuesday, My 16yr old daughter and I are starting to plan our trips! thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Shawn Noonan So cool! What model 4Runner did you end up with?

[@Shawn.Noonan]

We got the TEP.

[@LifestyleOverland]

+Shawn Noonan Awesome, you're going to love it!

[@markmorley327]

I am so glad that I found your channel.

[@ronrosenerger3216]

This old video just popped up and it’s a classic. Amazing how your daughter has changed over the years and still loving adventures. Fun watching. I didn’t realize you lived in New Mexico and maybe you moved since this video. We live in Las Cruces and not very far from Lincoln National Forest. Keep adventuring.

[@dougbourdo2589]

THAT scenery is Exactly why we moved here. A-Gordo, with the Sacramento Mtns 300 yards out my back yard. Haven't been down to the Guadalupes yet. Going to have to fund that trail. Some of the roads to Timberon are really nice too.

[@Gabez82]

Great, video, and an even greater adventure! As cheesy as it may sound, she'll remember these adventures forever. Never had a father growing up, but I had an uncle that used to take me on fishing trips and such. I still remember till to this day. And gotta love them Toyotas, I got a 2012 Tacoma Off-Road I'm slowly planning on converting to an Overlander in the near future.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Hey thanks for the comments! We absolutely love sharing these experiences with her. She is one heck of a traveler and has an unbelievable spirit of adventure. That's awesome that you had someone willing to invest in you growing up. I think everyone needs that and a taste of the outdoors. Sounds like you have the perfect overland platform, are you a member on www.overlandbound.com forums? Great community for support and inspiration. See you on the trail someday!

[@Gabez82]

Yeah, we would go to Mammoth Lakes, and the all up the Sierras, here in California. I'm just on TacomaWorld for now. I already spend too much. I'm not too sure my wallet can handle spending even more money on my truck, ha. But I will certainly check it out. Well hope you and the family make more videos, -take care.

[@precisiondefensegroup3688]

So awesome to see a family spend quality time together while enjoying God's green earth. Great videos man, thanks for sharing!

[@LifestyleOverland]

+Precision Defense Group Thanks for watching!

[@RandallW20]

I miss this place. We used to mule deer hunt here when I was a child. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@oscarbriceno1940]

Nice! You have a great partner for your adventures. Looks like the entire family enjoys the adventure.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Oscar Briceno Absolutely, couldn't do it without them! Thanks for the comment!

[@snoonan2000]

well your channel sealed it. going to order a 4runner and set a goal to touch all 48 over the next few years. beautiful family!

[@LifestyleOverland]

snoonan2000 So awesome!! What 4Runner configuration are you looking at?

[@oldbakedpotato]

The lovely Caroline is the star of the show. Great tunes.

[@LifestyleOverland]

+Don Chambers She sure is. Thanks for watching!

[@jmsuitter5]

Classics

[@LifestyleOverland]

Good times!

[@nossican72]

You guys have inspired us...we are on our way to exploration

[@LifestyleOverland]

Awesome! See you out there!

[@killingjoke535]

You guys inspire me, this is my goal. Just gotta figure out how to do it haha

[@robbywallace655]

Really enjoying this video guys! That HAS got to be the smallest snowman i've ever seen XD haha. Glad you guys had a good time!

[@gayashangamage3783]

after finishing three channels' content, finally decided to touch with touch with this awesome adventure full Lifestyle overland... let's see how long should I spend to finish this hall adventure... cheers from little island...

[@barryraven4745]

I really enjoy the Guadalupe's. On the other side somewhere near the Brokoffs I saw a badger. Had no idea they were even around there. Sometime you should drive up Lookout Mountain near Las Cruces. I got to the steep part near the summit but quit because my buddy got scaaaart. I think your 4.88s would do better than my 3.73s on it. There are some other 4x4 roads around there too to explore.

[@projectzlowpoke]

Great video, looking forward to more. Safe travels, godspeed

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks! Same to you!

[@rubicondon04]

Hey,, really nice vid,, we're going to be at the GNP for only two nights, but plan on spending more time in Lincoln NF on our way back from the 4 corners region, via Mongollon Rim rt 300 & Gila NF..

[@JD-gu8gu]

Great videos you guys, we recently picked up a 4runner and are going to slowly start adding some mods, we plan on taking trips with it, it's actually her 4runner, I'm thinking of going with a Tacoma, haven't decided yet, anyways, great videos!

[@bmw1997ish]

Very nice! I want go get a 4runner my self. I currently have a Tacoma but made the mistake of getting a 2wd. :(

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much! There's a lot you can do in a 2WD so long as you keep your limitations in mind and travel with others if you plan on getting into some nasty areas. Enjoy it while you save up for something 4WD!

[@XxAlexanderProxx]

I currently have a GX 460 and will be also getting a Tundra soon. I am in NJ/Somers Point. I have spent more than a decade doing nothing but working and no play. I would really appreciate recommendations for family activities like this. My kids have and get everything they need/want. But I am realizing that is not always the most important ( I hope that makes sense). Thank you in advance.

[@LifestyleOverland]

+Anthony Perez Totally get where you're coming from. We made the choice a few years ago to downsize our footprint and expenses so we could live this lifestyle and hopefully instill a sense of wonder and adventure in our daughter as she grows up. We have learned that real value isn't in the things we have, or money in the bank, but in the experiences we share as a family. If your looking to start your own family in the overland lifestyle I suggest finding a good community to learn and grow with. No better place to start than www.overlandbound.com and their forums which have tons of folks from all backgrounds and skill levels looking to do just what you are asking about. From there, you'll be able to plug into groups and individuals in your location to travel and learn with.

[@XxAlexanderProxx]

Thank you for getting back to me. I am glad you understood where I was coming from. I will start by looking at www.Overlandbound.com

[@blackflame1139]

i just started watching your videos i really like it from phillipines

[@jawaring]

All our kids drive dirt roads too, lots of fun!

[@LifestyleOverland]

+jawaring Such special memories. I can remember driving like that as a kid and want to pass it on (when the trail is safe, of course!)

[@fran2395437]

first time watcher on your channel, AWESOME!! Definitely enjoy your background music. should make a cd/soundtrack. keep up the good work

[@LifestyleOverland]

Hey thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CasperRc81]

Be mindful of the airbags and little ones. Great videos thx

[@天然バナナ]

You have a beautiful wife Cute daughter Best car Someday I wanna be like you! Looking forward for your family's adventure!

[@LifestyleOverland]

+バンビコジョーデリック Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!

[@EricBurns1970]

Awesome video, looks like a great time. I know the video is old...so you might not respond. But is the forest service the best resource for maps? I am not finding much information about the off-roading routes in GRD. Forest Service website doesn't say anything really about "jeep trails". Using GAIA I can see many 'jeep roads', so I was think of taking 137 and starting with Klondike Gap and checking it out, maybe Hooper Canyon and Hog Spring, then continue east and do the same, looks like several out and backs and only a few loops. A big loop of course would be nice. Planning 3 nights dispersed off the back roads in leveled 4Runner TRD ORP. Any suggestions?

[@LifestyleOverland]

We always download the MVUM PDFs from the "Maps and Publications" tab of the forest we're traveling. Also, check out www.gaiagps.com/lifestyleoverland for some videos on our favorite mapping software as well as a discount if you go that route.

[@EricBurns1970]

@@LifestyleOverland appreciate it. Yes, MVUM from FS and Gaia help! I have my route planned and heading there on Thurs, 1 night at Pine Spring in TX, then up to Lincoln. Great videos!

[@nikkogeee2988]

Wheel , tire , and suspension setup?

[@brookecances5962]

I really enjoy watching your videos. I video our camping trips here and there with my Gopro. What do you use to film for such a steady video? I noticed on your Enchanted trail trip how you or your wife were moving the camera around from the window to inside the car and it was so smooth. Wanted to improve my videogrophy while car is moving. Thanks for the awesome videos. Look forward to more.

[@LifestyleOverland]

+Brooke Bruno Hey thanks for watching! So we ending up switching to a Canon XA30 camcorder which has excellent stabilization. We also use our Samsung S6 phones on occasion which also do a great job on bouncy roads. P.S. Sorry for the delayed response, we just got back from running the Mojave Road!

[@dennisi3921]

Lovely

[@LifestyleOverland]

+Dennis Idnay Thanks!

[@Fitdad562]

Nice video

[@LifestyleOverland]

+Jesus Aguiniga Thanks!

[@kenankarahan9008]

Is it dengerous.Caroline saet rear seat?

[@cjpaul8571]

Really stupid question as I've never been offroading... are all of these trails one-way? What happens if you encounter someone coming back down the trail?

[@LifestyleOverland]

+CJ Paul Almost all of them are two-way, though there are a few that are one-way across the country. Typically the uphill traffic has the right-of-way but generally the vehicle closest to a wide spot or pull off lets the oncoming traffic by. Just depends on the situation.

[@cjpaul8571]

Thanks! Love your videos.

[@davidharden8469]

It was painful to watch a Toyota following a Jeep.
