High Altitude Overland Adventure in Colorado's Backcountry

[@DixieOverland]

Glad to see this collaboration with Ozark Overland Adventures! Everytime I watch I feel like I'm being taken on the adventure as well!

[@TrailRecon]

We had such a great time with them! Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed joining us on this trip!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thank you. We had such a blast together!!

Love the baking Bundt pan with the muffin insert and all you do with it. I showed your clip to my wife and her mouth was watering. Hopefully we can find it online. Oh yah, amazing route in southern Colorado

Here’s where you can find it on our website. trailrecon.com/Omnia_c_430.html. Regena loves it!

Hi Brad and Regina, Loved the collaboration between TrailRecon and Ozark Overland Adventure. Two amazing channels. Perfect trail, water xings, dirt, gravel, rocks and some mud and nice scenery. Love it! Awesome episode. Thank you 😊

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks!!

Coming from crowded country like India where camping is almost impossible, I love to enjoy these kind of vidoes

You're like the Bob Ross of overlanding, just love your format and content!

[@TrailRecon]

Bob was the man!

[@rdump]

Delightful travelogue. Glad you got to do Medano and the Wet Mountains. Those trails were the ones that convinced me an overland rig was what I needed. And only now do I discover that you know the "you need to talk to these folks about tires" Ozark Overland crew. Ha!

[@mikemurphy2764]

Beautiful area. Great food. The best burger I've ever had was a bison-elk burger. Outstanding.

[@jeffreybalandra8891]

This trails and the views, looks so nice. My sister snd her husband retired in Carson. Myself just retired in 2019 and can’t wait to do that trails.

Oh no! Another sweets in the main course controversy. Of course, I'll have to side with Brad on this one again, haha That drive to the Sand Dunes looks like the one we just took from Durango in May. Beautiful country, awesome adventure guys.

[@dixiemae5042]

I fill a Milwaukee tool bag with spices and everything used for cooking as well.

[@1allanbmw]

I've been trucking since the '70's and backing a trailer that short is a skill even I haven't learned. 48' or 53'...? Piece of cake. So more power to y'all. Keep working at it. Also had a question: I used to piggyback commercial trucks from place to place and had a trailable "skid" I'd pull behind my pickup. I made the mistake of visiting my best friend set up this way. He lived some miles off the pavement. The banging my hitch got rattled the welds loose. Do you experience any issues with yours going through all the various terrain you do? Thanks again for another great adventure guys!

[@TrailRecon]

I've had the X1 for over 2 years now and put a lot of miles on it and taken it on some pretty technical trails, it hasn't had any issues to date! Thanks!

[@Billrovid]

I have an X1 and same as Brad no issues

[@6point1hemi]

Elk is one of those food that your body recognizes as something special. For the folks who haven’t had Elk, you owe yourself to try it.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Agreed

[@garygiant9202]

An easy way to back up a trailer is put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and watch your side mirrors if the trailer needs to go to your right take your hand to the right if you’re trailer needs to go to the left take your hand to the left I back up a 53 foot trailers all day long in a semi

[@KiaTia09]

Wow great stuff the camera work is outstanding I felt like I was there. If you don't want an off road vehicle after seeing this your not living right. 👍🏾

Hi Brad and Vagina. This video is the best have ever done . I am so jealous. I live UK. And must of the the land is Privately owned so we don't get to do much of of roading and camping do without Breaking the law that could end up getting our vehicle taken . be the police .q There were probably own campsites which coat a arm and leg The only exception to this is Scotland where a bit of one camping is permitted but even now they're clamping down.keep on making like this . Ps can you open online store in the UK. It coast 20% taxes us postage and it is Too expensive to buy any of your merchandise Eugene

[@SFDearing1]

Great episode...Regena, you need to start posting some recipes!? Those blondies looked really good!

[@regenakowitz]

Just head over to the blog at TrailRecon.com, I've posted several of my recipes there, including the blondies. trailrecon.com/Blondies-_b_49.html ☺

[@frenchie4wd]

They were!!!!!

[@bigtime6837]

Regina cheat a little…. Grab the bottom of the wheel palm down. If you want the trailer to go left take your hand left Right take your hand right. Small inputs and number one…..nothing fast should ever happen in the cab. Slow is smooth and take your time!!!! Good luck!

[@VictorDeveze]

Next year we are doing a road trip all the way from Central Mexico to Moab! On the way there we are visiting Great sand dunes National Park and doing Medano Pass!!!

Was looking forward to another instalment of this awesome trip, definitely not disappointed... You guys do such a great job of filming your adventures. 🚙👍🇦🇺

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@Desertfox92308]

Regina don't feel bad about backing up a short trailer with a single axle. They are very tricky to keep straight and react to the smallest steering inputs. 👍😀

[@scottsnyder8691]

backing up trailers are like dogs and kids, they require constant correction to keep them on the right track...

[@J.Young808]

Hey Regena, I’ve been told by people more skilled than I to hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand and the way your hand goes will be the way the trailer points.

[@sportdriver]

Great video as usual. I've never met Matt in person but have chatted with him online. He's always been very helpful answering any questions I've had.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! He is genuinely a great guy!

[@regenakowitz]

Both Matt and Cara are wonderful! They're truly genuine, kind humans. 😊

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@christoavdmerwe]

A tip when reversing with a trailer. When you in a straight line position with jeep , put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Turn then the steering wheel from the bottom grip in the direction you wish the trailer must go 😉

[@vernvartdal6479]

2 highlights for me: Regina’s growing comfort with backing the trailer, and Medano pass backwards. Being from Texas, my favorite route across southern Colorado is from the east over Medano pass to the dunes, then to Creede and up the Rio Grande to its source via 520 over Stony pass to Silverton, often taking the side trip to Kite Lake.

[@millsda2]

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much!

You're going to love the Blackstone!

[@MrHirgil]

We have a 22" Blackstone we use at home and take camping. It has opened up so many new meal opportunities we never had before and the cleanup us so easy! Check out Blackstone's channel and the Waltwins channel for great ideas and recipes. Our favoirtes so far are smash burgers and bacon-fried corn.

[@scottsnyder8691]

Great video. I've been following you and Matt for about 2 years now and it's good to see you together. And don't worry Regena, it take practice backing up a trailer but you'll get the hang of it. And short trailers are much harder to back up.

[@AndrewTalbert]

I want a Skrittle for my stove! I have that same setup and don't want to have to buy a $400 skottle. Is that home made or can you buy it?

Hey Brad and Regina, been watching your channel for over a year now, as a medical student, sometimes studying gets a-lot, and your content gives me a peace of mind away from stress. Keep it up, another great video!

[@hippietwocams]

Brad, you should start with the trailer backing by placing your control hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and just move your hand the way you want the trailer to go

[@Mallcrawler_392]

I think you need to start a food channel too lol. Your video made me hungry :)

[@TrailRecon]

We are foodies with an off-road habit! LOL!

Could we possibly get a name of the griddle the gentleman was using over the stove? We use a cold rolled steel one over ours but I like the higher sides on that one.

[@V2Asylum]

Man. I’m totally enamored with your lifestyle. I’m currently working and living in Saudi Arabia as an expatriate. I bought a 2021 Jeep JLU 2.0 for my wife but I’m dying to mod it and start camping as soon as we get home for good. Been watching your videos and wondered if you have ever removed the roof and freedom panels on your 392?

[@taga2699]

Your friends cooking option is genius Minimalistic next to the black stone and so easy to clean and perfect size for the occasions you share with a slightly larger group. I’m adding another channel to follow. Marco does not have competition with Regina. They are both great cooks and more specific camping cooks INFLUENCERS. 😂 😂 1 male 1 female to show it can be done across the board. 😂

[@taga2699]

Although signs said 4x4, do you think a front wheel drive with beefy tires and some wheelbase clearance could get through those Colorado roads?

[@taga2699]

Did you physically feel the high altitude?

[@TrailRecon]

I think with some of the deep sand and mud sections, you will want 4wd.

[@rblueroan2205]

I know this is a year later , and the misses should be backing well by now , however that being said , a little trick I learned when backing short trailers , put the transfer case in low , let the vehicle idle , keep the foot off the throttle as much as possible , computer controlled engines wont stall as easily as the old carb points engines , this allows the driver to keep up with the trailer , use the mirrors as much as possible , and keep all steering inputs small . Enjoy your channel , thank you for letting us tag along

Hey Brad and Regina, I LOVE your videos! I do have a question about Matt's Gladiator. Hope you don't mind. It looks like he has the stock Rubi rails and possibly added Barricade rock sliders. I have a 2022 Overland JT and replaced the stock steps with the Barricade rock sliders however they are not true rock sliders. If Matt did in fact add them or something very similar how did he do it? I recently test drove a Rubicon JT, looked under where the Rubi rails are and cannot see a way to add the Barricade rock sliders. Any input would be so much appreciated. Thank you and I love both yours and Matt's videos. 😊
