MILES OF MUD - Overland Adventure

Previous episode of this adventure: • Epic OVERLAND ADVENTUR...
In this second part of our Anza-borrego desert, Bradshaw Trail and Sedona Arizona trip, we set out after getting hammered by a thunderstorm to cross many miles of desert and then head North to Sedona. We encountered a lot of weather along the way and meant we were going to be getting muddy for many miles. We found some great camp spots along the way, encountered a few creepy crawlers, tackled some fun trails and just had a great adventure. #jeep #overlanding #travel

Your excitement is contagious. Neat to know you can do so much in just 4 days. Thanks for sharing.

[@zacharyjeannotte]

This is by far the best video you've ever made. The channel has been evolving into something more than just off-road videos. You're starting to tell a story, and by doing so it adds so much more production value . I love it. Keep telling your story.

[@TrailRecon]

THE BEST COMMENT EVER! Thank you so much, I'm really trying to tell better stories when we are out on the trail. Thank you so much!

[@zacharyjeannotte]

@@TrailRecon Keep up the good work!

[@emstnjowtolmsn]

Nice move on the famous Julian Pie! Julian Pies are some of the best pies you can every find!

[@Jack-fd8cx]

Can't wait to get my own Jeep someday! Y'all are definitely living the dream!

[@kungfumaster8171]

God dam what a great video. Brad your medical training is helping of us. Thank you for the much needed escape.

[@brianmurphy5313]

This is the stuff I love most about Jeeping.

[@wyattoneable]

That was "National Geographic" quality. Outstanding shot of the mountains in the sunlight.

[@AliciaInJeep]

exactly, so beautiful and so interesting ;)

[@OVRLNDX]

Awesome video brother!!!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you brother, it's great to have these memories of our trips!

[@OVRLNDX]

TrailRecon Always a blast man!

[@pandafranchise]

Who was listening to the Studio54 channel there at the end? 😝 lol

[@OVRLNDX]

Andrew Francis hahaha! We are familyyy🎼🎼 Disco Brad of course!

[@ricnav267]

Marco what are the details on that wok and burner set up?

[@Dode1936]

Outstanding video, and my mind was blown with all the great scenery shots! From the clouds/weather in the desert to the sky opening up while in Sedona. Also so rad you got a tour of KC's HQ, and doh! bummer you and Marco go busted by Security... hahaha

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks! Just having a bit of fun at KC! LOL!

[@chackothomas8929]

Your channel has become a like a TV show for me. Sometimes I just pop on an episode of "TrailRecon" and enjoy. Wish I knew about your crew when I was in SoCal.

[@therockeys7200]

What a great place, I wish the uk had places like that.

[@TrailRecon]

We are blessed for sure.

[@overlandinglife8697]

Looks like a great time! Thanks for the video and taking us along! Hope to see ya on the trail someday! :)

[@jadams947]

Marco always coming in clutch

[@Brother_Lander]

When Marco tried to steal those lights 🤣🤣🤣

[@MuchNoob]

Shane Christian he for sure had it too

[@yeizon6205]

🤣

[@allweathersport7535]

What an adventure!

[@TrailRecon]

Unforgettable!

[@mauiman52]

What a great video. Thanks Brad. Marco did not make just ordinary Fish Tacos, but with Trader Joe's Wild frozen Tuna. How cool is that? As for the Colby Valve Emergency Valve Stem kit...already ordered. Thanks, didn't know about them. However, when I blew last time a valve in Anza Borrego (damn those long TPMS valves) I just put on the spare on top of Diablo drop off and J&T Tire in Borrego installed a new valve in my tire for..can't remember exactly..$15 or so the very same evening when they were suppose to close. Big shout out to them. Next set of tires is going to see standard valves only, not TPMS anymore. They are so much shorter and safer out on the trail. And no, I am not going to stop for Pink Jeeps in Sedona because usually I am faster than they are anyways. Last time on Broken Arrow, 7 of them came towards us. Though the drivers were always very friendly, that really made us not wanting to do that trail anymore, despite the wonderful views.Too much pink traffic. So glad to see you guys had such a wonderful scenery when the sun came out.

[@deutsch2k5]

In AZ, buying a Jeep next year, will look for y'all.

[@carpathianoverland]

NICE JEEP BRAD!

[@alaindevernier5818]

[@manuelrivera6621]

Hi this is RedRex1, cool video and you are very correct when you said that this is living ,out in your jeeps just chilling out in God's country wheeling and driving on dirt roads I know the adrenalin it lass for days must wheel as much as possible.thanks for the video.

[@jarueda13]

Great trip with a lot of good information. Keep them coming.

[@akshaysb6320]

Excellent

[@bhr1337]

Fantastic trip! Great video work including the night shots!!

[@emilionides5520]

What a great trip!

[@Porkfryedbrice]

you guys make some great videos, thank you. Love watching these. I am new to the Rubicon family and these are way fun to watch!

[@Airkoay]

Thanks for sharing Brad. I would have taken two carts along at the KC shop:)

[@TrailRecon]

So much goodness in their warehouse!

[@TYZR4ME]

Brad another cool video, I am out here in Riverside I would love to join your group on a trail ride one day. Hope to see you on the trails.

[@scottbowman5673]

Just got my TR hoodie last week it rocks! Another great video, always fun to watch.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much for picking up a hoodie and supporting the channel, I really appreciate it!

[@eddiespinks9218]

You guys eat better in the middle of nowhere than I do at home!

[@GunNut37086]

loved this video...we don't have much call for overland setups where I'm from, but it looks really really fun

[@rickm4295]

Cool !! I have a Tacoma , haha. I was wondering if I were lucky enough to bump in to you guys somewhere if I'd be welcome since i dont have a Jeep anymore....I really like my Tacoma but I know Jeepers usually dont like other rigs in there convoys

[@arashsardari2072]

Great song in 19:40

[@slowcountryboy476]

Pre masticated pie!!

[@whit128]

Very cool video

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@WILLYBREATH_v]

This is like old top gear if there was no script and it was american Dr Brian cox narrating

[@carlosspiceyweiner9233]

Broken Arrow should be a badge of honor.

[@fredbrackely]

For one of the most spectacular views of the Sedona mountains on the internet 20:15

[@warmachine3007]

I wanna camp with chef Marco.

[@martinlopez7173]

Bad ass🤠

[@ricksandfort8836]

neat adventure! always enjoy your videos .... is Devil's Staircase doable by a stock Jeep or one with a small (say 2") lift? always wondered what the minimum lift is to qualify as a "high clearance vehicle"

[@TrailRecon]

I think you would be fine on the Staircase with a 2" lift, it's just steep decent, but you gotta take it slow. We took a stock JKU Rubicon through the trail 2 years ago and they rubbed a little on a couple of the climbs, but nothing terrible.

[@ricksandfort8836]

Thanks Brad

[@ethansadventure]

I hear a drone in the background at 11:30

[@richardmiller6422]

Hi. Can this adventure be taken in a wrangler that is not a Rubicon model? More of a base 4x4 wrangler?

[@TrailRecon]

Yes

[@9aqua_man282]

How was are these locations from San Diego? Is it a drive worth having? Anybody

[@timothyalvarado5315]

Are jeeps better than tacomas for off road? I heard Jeeps are often in the mechanic shop?

[@TrailRecon]

Knock on wood, my Jeep has never had a mechanical issues and now over 77k miles.

[@mattmclaughlin2831]

What setup is that at 12:48?!?!

[@dave928]

man you pack a lot of cool stuff into 27 minutes. subbed.

[@TrailRecon]

Welcome to the channel and thank you!

[@DrERtv]

I JUST purchased a Gladiator sport so I've been binging on KZbin videos the last week. I must congratulate you on your channel. The video quality, the narration, scene cuts, etc. It is AWESOME, well done. As fellow KZbinr with almost 400k subs, it shows how you pride yourself in the content that you put out. I wish I could join one of these trips one day! Dr. Carlo Oller

[@michaelegan4221]

Great video! Production quality is amazing, especially the drone footage. Well done. Wish I was there.

[@brianpardee1281]

Yall went right past sandy shores lol

[@jakeberg6758]

Great camerawork, goes right along with your personality, you’re a great storyteller. Fun video, thank you

[@donbryson7536]

Jake Berg I’ll second your comment, you make the videos Brad. Thank you for taking the effort to bring this to us

[@TheCharleseye]

Now, I could be wrong about this, but after watching several videos on this channel, I'm fairly certain that Marco is "Da Man." The guy should wear a cape, I swear.

[@desigan999]

Wow that view when it stopped raining was spectacular indeed.. what a Blessing for you guys to be there at that exact moment... it actually looks like it was some CGI 😝 Loving the latest vids where we get to see some of the drivers meetings / the cave tours on foot / more of camp chat and of course Marcos delicious cooking... really feels like we part of the adventure in more ways than before !!! Keep it up!! Peace!

[@agabaire]

This whole video was so great it could be a advertisement for America. The quality, attention to detail and the rawness is just amazing to watch Ps Was their parts that were speed up, i noticed ur narration was normal but some of the on-site video felt speed up

[@chikken_soup]

4:27 that's Trevor's lab in GTA5

[@29Autocare]

Awesome Adventure... Best Regards from 29AutoCare Indonesia...👍

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job B-Rad...Did KC atleast give you guys a hat or T-shirt?lol...

[@TrueMobster]

Looked good fun!

[@AliciaInJeep]

Wow! I had goosebumps watching 20:14 and with this music - the effect is even stronger. Another fantastic video from epic adventure. Thank you so much.

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AliciaInJeep]

@@TrailRecon Very much! Waiting for new adventure :)

[@outlaw9232]

Amazing views, great footage, story and editing! It looked like so much fun. Now every time I see Marco cooking I get hungry! Love your videos Brad, I even saw your son smiling too!

[@TrailRecon]

This was so much fun with my son and these great guys. You couldn't have asked for a better trip. And yes, anytime we are now out with Marco we are all wondering what's on the menu! Thanks!

[@arabcampers9554]

Thanks for sharing this journey , that Jeep Comanche style is hot though . love OlllllllO .

[@khcopter]

Your filming with the drone and without the drone was spectacular good job sir !! Look like a Hollywood production!! Most impressive

[@1EddieMan]

What an awesome adventure !!! This is def on my bucket list now. I really appreciate the quality and professionalism of your production, kudos ! Much thanks for sharing :)

[@RocHopn]

Did you guys do the crack obstacle? That's always a fun one!! Last time I was there in Sedona we did 3 trails. I need to go back I only live an 1 and a half away. When is Tail Recon going to do a fan tail run in Arizona?

[@DannyWalker1949]

SEE, There Still GOLD IN THEM THERE HILL's........

[@GrizOnTheTrail]

Tremendous production Brad! Breathtaking videography only outdone by your narration. Being in the northeast US, I am so envious of your adventures. We have gorgeous scenery here in PA and surrounding states as well. But the southwest is just SOOOOO uniquely beautiful. Thank you!!!!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! We are lucky to have so many interesting places to explore, but I do hope to begin heading out further across the U.S. soon.

[@AliciaInJeep]

Brad's videos are so engaging. I actually watch the same episodes a few times, so great.

[@WilsonAbrego]

The golden mountain in Sedona !!! My god what a sight !! It looked amazing on on my iPhone’s screen now I can only imagen being there. I remember seeing Marco going live on IG and thought that was surreal!!

[@CaptainGnarkill]

Cool video! Robs in this video! More videos with Rob he’s awesome

[@RedRockCrawlers]

Watching Marco's tent set itself up while everyone else was setting up is almost humorous. That was cool to see hahah.

[@TrailRecon]

It's just not fare! LOL!

[@RedRockCrawlers]

@@TrailRecon haha no kidding

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Hi Brad, you and your friends are an inspiration. Fantastic camera work. Beautiful stunning scenery. Light up that trail. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us. Oh and yes, It's a Jeep thing...

[@getoutofthetimetrap5435]

Awesome trip again and now something for mud lovers too cool 😎! Lived up to your lic plate of MUDPLEZ huh? Gotta get a WORKX portable battery power washer after a trip in the mud works great for me all you need is a 5 gallon bucket and fresh water. Epic vistas after that rain storm !

[@NYC-WRX]

Absolutely amazing content brad,,,thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Cherrytea558]

This is such an amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing this adventure, I loved every minute of it.

[@TrailRecon]

So great to hear, thank you!

[@DIYGUY_TY]

Part 2 been waiting! Love that guy's jeep truck conversion.

[@TrailRecon]

Robs rig is so cool!

[@sarinfserg4965]

Truly amazing trip y’all had.... what beautiful scenery specially the golden mountains WOW

[@John_Linn]

Normally, outdoor enthusiasts distain "new mines or industrial development" in our wilderness playground....YET, once these industrial ventures become vacant, we absolutly love exploring them. In fact, we want their preservation as a piece of history. Kinda ironic, but I can 100% relate.

[@murielbuyens9505]

I would love to join with my Wrangler Rubicon JK 💝👍

[@cruzjando]

Wow, impressed with video quality. Beautiful scenery! Great camera shots and editing. Sharing this video with several friends. Absolutely a must watch!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you so much!

[@sixpgc]

Great video and well edited. Felt like I was right there on the trail with y’all. I need to see a Marco series next. Camp Cooking with Marco, lol. Keep it up!

[@OVRLNDX]

That sounds like a pretty good idea!!!

[@lifewithhope007]

Always enjoy your videos! Gives me inspiration to keep transforming my jk!

[@TrailRecon]

Happy to provide a little inspirations, thank you so much1\!

[@backcreekcabin4994]

Great video as always!!!! Would love to see a tour of the Jeep pick-up. Looks like an awesome vehicle!

[@OVRLNDX]

@Back Creek Cabin Checkout the walk around kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWfWiGiim8Rrorc

[@TxCwby]

Sedona, one of those “Magic Light” places! Second to none on scenery, that is “fur sur”!

[@ryanmena7466]

Amazing video blown away by the footage and photography along with the story telling! Was wondering what type of camera and lenses and editing program you use? By far the best quality video I’ve seen!!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! I use final cut pro to edit the videos and a list of all my camera gear is posted in my amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/trailrecon

[@ryanmena7466]

Thank you so much! Can’t wait for more videos!

[@expeditionx71]

The view of the golden mountains and the rain was really really spectacular!! You guys were lucky to be there that day. What an awesome scenery! I wish i can give double thumbs up for this one it really deserves it 👍🏽👍🏽

[@leightonoc]

What I love is my 12v tea kettle, 12 v Coleman 40q cooler, 12v electric blanket and 12v mini hotlogic. With the mini hotlogic I can cook a meal while I am driving to my next mountain top. I stopped bringing a cot. After all i’m overlanding in a 2dr Wrangler. I bring a ton of gear but I can still take the roof down. This June I will be taking a 200 day road trip to 30 of the most homeless cities in the US including Anchorage. Love your channel. You have given me so many good overlanding tips! Thank you!

[@AhorMaysix]

Excellent video and audio work.. Love it!

[@whazupmike]

Probably one of the few videos I've seen that is put together very well compared to many other 4x4 or overland videos. Good job and you got me entertained throughout your show.

[@sonnybeltran7096]

I love Sedona, great video you guy's rock! 🤘🏼👍🏼

[@Rbowers1965]

Awesome video quality. I felt like I was right there on the trail with you. Great group of guys and adventures. Keep on Jeeping.

[@beerleaguebruiser7406]

I'm new to the channel, not a Jeep guy I'm a 4runner guy but still love the videos. I'm not sure if you've done one yet. But do you have a video about gas consumption, as in how you plan out how much to take and how you plan resupplies on trips like this one and Mojave road. Thanks for the great content.

[@BrianGlassEOD]

Another outstanding video. It's going to be hard to top the views in this one. You always have a perfect mix of trail and camp life. The narration is informative but not intrusive too. I look forward to the weekly videos, keep them coming.

[@evanselaban7058]

Watching this vid I so wanted to go and experience the trails. I’m new to overlanding haven’t done it yet cause I’m a OTR trucker so not home much but that’s changing. I def need to mod my taco to b able to go on the trails.

[@backcountryoverland103]

A few years ago after Overland Expo I had a revisit to Sedona. I was at the Oak Creek Market when the Slide Rock Fire broke out, closing the canyon to Flagstaff. At the same time there was a big fire down along 17 and that way out was a mess. I headed back up Schnebly Hill, the only good way out of town. I camped not far from topping out. What a show watching the wildfire erupt up out of Oak Creek Canyon and make a night time run across the high terrain about 15 miles away. I have a couple cool rigs, an 03 Ram set up, and a fully set up 2000 TJ. Just picked up a 17 JKU and have been watching your mods and reviews for references. It's a new animal to me. Found a used gem with 15K, 2.5 AEV dual sport lift , 4.88's, an auburn e-locker, & 34x10.50 bfg's. Taking lots of notes on builds to keep it stealth, yet a trail runner like my other two. Good stuff ! Enjoy the vids.....maybe catch you out there. Peace~Out !

[@mozpassion8996]

Very nice man. I can imagine the work to do these videos... maybe you should talk about it some day.

[@deifor]

I loved this. Such a nice crew, good to have Marco I believe is his name, who could be the best trail chef in the world!

[@WeldtecDesigns]

looks like a great trip! we need plan that to on our next adventure.

[@jameskey7290]

Wow! You need to take Marco where ever you go. That pizza! Looked delicious.
