Is Holcomb Creek the HARDEST Trail in the San Bernardino National Forest?

There are a handful of difficult trails you can explore in the San Bernardino National Forest, but is Holcomb Creek the most difficult? In this video my good friend Marco and I take our original Jeep Wrangler JK's and set off on a great adventure tackling some intense obstacles along the way. #jeepwrangler #holcombcreek #offroading

The vibe that Brad and Marco give off is amazing. It honestly calms me down.

[@timothybuchholz9225]

Perfect start to a weekend.... Brad and Marco.....the dynamic duo.

[@TrailRecon]

It was so great being back out on the trail with Marco!

[@joshuasalazar5106]

Ya its great to see the best duo in 4x4 KZbin

[@warwagonreubenvargas9816]

@@TrailRecon how do you get a badge of honor from you all

[@kenworth1824]

It's great seeing the "dynamic duo" flexing again! What a great video Brad! Happy Veterans day!!!!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! We had a blast!

[@kenworth1824]

It looked amazing! Thanks for filming it!

[@emilyk1081]

A few years back, I went there with an off road group and we weren't exactly told how difficult the trails were going to be. I showed up in an LJ with a 2 inch lift and 33s. The guy who organized the event showed up in a CJ5 on 33's. The trails took forever but we managed to get even the little rigs through with enough spotting work and good driving. It still amazes me how my LJ was able to get through Holcomb and John Bull with how basic the build was. That trip was one of the defining moments for me in off roading and this video brings back a lot of great memories. Thank you :)

[@Lcg503]

You and Marco together again on a rocky trail, it makes my Saturday morning comple . ♥️

[@jeffreyemerson3474]

Marco's exhaust sounds killer. I forget what he put on it. Yes it is nice to see both of you on the rocks again

[@kbalcerzak]

Great video Brad. Thank you for your service. We just lost my Uncle on 11/10/21 CMC Phillip Balcerzak. He served 32 years in the USN Norfolk Virgina and was a great person. Thanks again!

[@user-vi3lx5mn9f]

Two wonderful companions,and Navigators....... Great combination!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic scenery!!!!!!

[@buttcheezemo]

What a great way to spend Veterans Day, Semper Fi. I spent mine in the hospital, maybe next year I will be on the trail too, LOL.

[@IAm_RohitSharma]

Seeing Marco's nature, I feel that he is such a person that no one can ever complain.And Brad you are amazing. ❣️❤️❣️❤️ May God keep the love of both of you like this.

[@herbertwagner6571]

[@calsomathew2226]

Sir Marco's jeep is my dream build it is the reason why i study hard. Subscriber from Philippines her😊

[@nofishproductions4379]

If there is anybody out there that doesn't like Marco, they need to check their self!

[@barryfrank1868]

Brad and Marco go together like peanut butter and jelly.- Classic and Timeless. Love watching you guys wheel together. Never gets old.

[@bryanperry4557]

Thank you for your service...Semper Fi...!!!

[@turbojunki]

Awesome to see the the JK’s getting out there.

[@ejsvegas5724]

LOL both have the same sandwich, you know you are true comrades when you pick up the same food. Glad to see Marco back. Really fun video keep them up.

[@TrailRecon]

It's crazy over the years how much we have in common!

[@nozzle9079]

I did this trail the opposite way about a month ago. It was so much fun. I have a JLU on 35’s and made quick work of the hardest obstacle by going left.

[@arifnajieb8293]

Great video. Brad and Marco are the Crockett and Tubbs of nature.

[@hughwolfe1176]

A pair of very capable Jeeps, two very experienced off roaders, and beautiful scenery… Thank you Brad and Marco for sharing your days adventure.

[@bradroberts6447]

Thank you for your service

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

This in terms of your videos is most similar to the ones I make and I’m just jealous of how good yours looks! Brad, awesome video!

[@alexanderweaver7066]

From one veteran to another, Brad, thank you for your service. I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure with Marco. I love the color scheme and graphics of Marco's JK. You guys are hard core...love it! I'm living the van life now and enjoying it in the Mission Bay area. Absolutely gorgeous here.

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

Sooooo good to see you and Marco out for an actual trail run. Great to see both JK’s navigating this trail. All the mods seemed to work as planned Brad!

[@robertwhitemoto]

Thank you for your service Brad!!

[@KillirBeard]

Ordered my Sarge green and black ‘22 rubicon the other day. Watching your videos makes me wish that it would hurry up and get here lol

[@ksdurham]

Great video and great job to Marco in the OG JKU! Haven’t done Holcomb Creek since late April, need to get back out there after watching this. Thank you for your service, Brother!

[@Crashedprotocol]

Nice to see you guys in your original jeeps, it’s where it all began, and they still look amazing.

[@andreipretorius92]

Two iconic jks on an awesome trail. Great driving guys, well done. Brad, again, your jk is such a beaut. It is the perfect build. Well done

[@richarddannibale7131]

Lived in big bear in the early 90's while in high school. Used to wheel a bunch of these trails in my 79 cherokee wide track. 360 v8 dana20 with a 4 speed granny low. Some of the best times in life.

[@jeeper5264]

Great video Brad...Love this trail and LOVE Big Bear...we are so blessed to have this in our backyard!

[@incog74]

Man, my favorite Trail Recon vids by far... going wheeling in Jeeps! Especially a technical trail.

[@matadorprime6555]

Love these wheeling videos with Marco and you together. Can't wait for your wheeling adventures in your diesel Rubicon and Marco's 392!

[@randybrown8941]

Happy veterans day Brad and thank you for your service....and kudos for you getting this video turned around so quickly!

[@danielk7111]

Thank you for your service.

[@johnbarrios1598]

What beautiful scenery!! Fantastic to see you and Marcos back at it wheeling!!!!

[@mikepierson3097]

Yes! Now we’re talkin! That was a great video, was nostalgic for us too! Thanks, Brad!

[@stevetabor4447]

Great video brad/ Marco glad you guy’s got time to hang out, awesome trail it’s gorgeous up there. Your new upgrades really made a big difference rigs look good as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Earlywinters09]

Fun trip and two nicely built-out rigs. Those were two of the three KZbin JKs that inspired me to get my own JK for rough road adventures. Thanks, and thanks for your service!

[@DaHoodScientist]

Idk why but this video was one of the most wholesome ones ive ever seen in this genre. You guys rock.

[@EngiTrek]

Only thing this video is missing is coffee as it’s got everything else. Good times!

[@dbm111222]

Great to see you both out again! But, “gas station sandwiches?” ( that cracked me up!! ) Not what I expected from the Overland Cook. Great content! Thank you for your service🇺🇸

[@jaradderosa3252]

I can’t believe you were able to film, and and release this in such a short turn around! Hats off to you. Fair winds and following seas and thank you for your service.

[@overland_dadsfl]

The video should be called 2 humble guys on a trail . 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@C8sorbs]

Great to see you both back out on the trail again!

[@pilburthw5511]

It was the videos like this that made me get my Jeep! Glad to see the gang back together!

[@conversationswithkaren]

Thank you for your service, Brad! Great video!

[@mikecon7634]

This sure makes up for that last trail where they had graded it.

[@Badjak]

Loved this episode guys. Just like old times. Back to simpler times on more technical trails. Great stuff! 🤙🔥🤙

[@davesayers5809]

Thank You for your service also and a great video Sir!!!

[@kenthompson8328]

The First area in Holcomb Creek was where we ran across a rattlesnake. The perfect trifecta is Gold Mt., John Bull and then Holcomb. Appreciate all the videos Brad!

[@zmotorsports62]

Nice to see the JK on the trail again. These are my favorite kind of trail, scenic with a few nice obstacles randomly spaced throughout. I'm not as much a fan of the obstacle after obstacle after obstacle trails anymore. I'll have to put Holcomb Creek on our list if we make it to CA.

[@MikeMartin-fj6vs]

Thank all Vets for their service. Myself USN 77 they 81. With a 2 year stint on the USS Midway.

[@nickh402]

Glad to see you both back on the trail! Looking forward to more trail videos:)

[@stevend9124]

Good to see you and Marco wheeling again. I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed not seeing a feast cooked up by Marco 😁😁😁

[@TheFelizCo]

Really enjoy seeing you guys together.

[@BucksMom218]

Love your enthusiasm…love your videos…love your Jeeps!😎😁🥾🥾🥰

[@JeproksOffroad]

Excited to see this video

[@chrisjohnson3912]

Old School Trail Recon video... no school like the old school... great stuff!

[@sarfrazhussain3276]

Brother from another mother is a great comment for Marco. It feels that you love each other so much. Good video love your all videos

[@thewhaleylife3013]

Need more content like this. You guys got all popular and everyone wants to roll with you. All you need is the 2 person combo

[@bosse641]

So nice to see Marco again :o) Great to see you both together wheeling again.

[@GriffinConway]

Such a good vibe in this video! Love watching you and Marco out doing your thing.

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks so much!!

[@norkisserrano]

Amazing vid once again, I like that you put the gps coordinates back again. Keep it up & thanks for sharing.

[@bluesrockngearwjoeyg8853]

Super Awesome!!!

[@DirtyChuckwalla]

Great video! Good to see the JKs back at it again.

[@daved6464]

Nice job Marco on the manual. I had a 85 Nissan 4x4 that was manual and it was a challange feathering a clutch while bouncing around. Never did anything as rough as you are doing.

[@PaintGuy]

Holcomb Creek is a great trail! I’ve never driven it in the direction you just did. I’ll have to try it. I drove that trail in a light snow, and we all had to winch through that middle rock garden. It got sketchy as the night came in and the trail started to freeze. Good times 👍🏽

[@andrewpleger488]

Great video. Love seeing the JKs out!

[@peachpole]

Looks like the perfect day on the perfect trail!

[@davidmiles4214]

Hi Guys. Missing your adventures great to see you both out n about. Keep on trailin. From your UK fans

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you liked it!

[@rickysoffroadrecovery]

Thank you for the great video it's nice to see that part of the country. Wish I was there Wheeling with you guys.

[@TYZR4ME]

Hey Brad awesome video!! Its been so long since you and Marco did a video, its good to see you guys together out on a trail doing what you guys love to do..... And come on you guys you got the same gas station sandwich from different places??? That's awesome, the photo of you guys stopped to have your lunch was cool, definitely Brothers from another mother just hanging out for the day!!! Great job Marco navigating through the technical stuff with a manual speed tranny.

[@Donnut123]

The difference between yours and Marco's tires is like me on 35s when I run across a Jeep on 37s. Makes me a wee bit jealous. Marco, I think I'm the only Jeep in my group with a man pedal too.

[@josevilla3176]

Great to see Marco back. Greetings from the Philppines.

[@wardperozuk2782]

When you started the video I was wondering how Marco was going to do after he has been out with his 392 and not in his JK!! Looks like he did awesome. Good to see you guys doing some trail videos again. Next time, throw in a lunch on the trail or a simple overnight setup!! Cheers

[@3vetman]

Brad, your JK turned out beautiful in all silver! Great video as always.

[@doubled3300]

Awesome to see you guys in my backyard. Next time you’re on it side trip from 3N93 to 2N06x. It is a beautiful road to 3N16. From there you can head to 3N34 or 3N14. Whichever direction you had in mind. Hope to see you next time you’re back.

[@bustamante457]

Absolutely love your content, both of you guys are awesome!

[@dantodez]

glad to see you take on badge of honor trail in SoCal.

[@MikeMartin-fj6vs]
