Oddities, ancient whispers, and trail challenges - Overlanding Nevada [S7E6]

We head further into the Nevada landscape but travel becomes challenging as we encounter soft sand, brutal cross-axle dunes, and a hill climb that put Silver to the test. Taking to foot, we stumble upon some mind-blowing sandstone sculptures, millennia old artwork, and a bottomless pit in the middle of nowhere. The Nevada wilderness continues to move up our list of favorite destinations and it's easy to see why!

Absolutely amazing content. For a single person to video drive and narrate. Your content is right up there with the big production shows like 24/7 offroad. Hats off to you and your family for the many mile and hours you ll put in to bring such amazing and inspiring content to us all.

[@kn4mows67]

I'm really Impressed with your filmography and music selection. I loose myself in your videos, much like watching a movie. Thank you for your hard work, it's appreciated!!

[@J_Medlin]

I don't know if it's just us, but we really struggled to not get nauseated with the fish eye lenses camera. Love the content otherwise!

[@whatifyoudid0808]

I agree. Been watching for years. Not a fan of the last few episodes with the camera work.

[@jeffyeomans376]

Same here. Hard to watch. Could not watch it all.

[@OutontheTrails]

Yeah, my head was starting to hurt and get a little dizzy. But it does provide some stellar footage, except I can’t watch it for too long.

[@laurienix4121]

We love what you and your family do! Welcome to Nevada! Thank you for sharing how wonderful our our wilderness is!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! We'll definitely be back...

[@jerdog53]

Ohhhh yah, baby! Biscuits and gravy!,❤

[@IsaacRodriguez89]

Nevada has been a treat! Thanks again for letting us ride along.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for riding with us! 👍

[@SweetCamper]

Salute! To you for doing your best to respect the land by obeying signs. Amazing to me how many folks do not show ANY respect to our public lands

[@rickmanley7197]

I don’t use the comment, but I do have to admit this is one of your better videos other than not having your family with you. It’s an amazing place. Thanks for what you do.

[@chrisdenning9816]

The first time I allowed my self to eat a steak that was pink inside, I never went back to well done. There’s the flavor. Great trail. Thanks

[@LifestyleOverland]

I grew up eating "sacrificed" steak as we jokingly called it. There would be steak dust on the plate from where you sawed it. LOL

[@chrisdenning9816]

@@LifestyleOverland you should have seen our pork chops! ha

[@dougg8280]

We just got back from Valley of Fire SP and Gold Butte NM. Looks very similar.

[@williamleopold507]

Amazing trip , scarey rocks and caves ! Thanks for sharing .

[@johnstephenson7620]

I love dessert rain the world comes alive, I was raised in the high dessert of Eastern Oregon and Northern Nevada

[@brenttanog139]

Love all your videos, exceptional content, the incredible hard work providing waypoints and routes (and recovering them...) and so much more! If you dropped the 360 in that hole, I'd love that too...🙃

[@davidhorting1613]

Agree with your driving style to use all the tools at your disposal to prevent a possible issue, rather than try to implement everything after you’re already in trouble 👍 Great video as always 👏. 360 cam adds to the footage.

[@charleshicks3492]

That was a great video, loved the trails, the signs from the past, and the steaks were excellent 😎🤩⭐️

[@GamerNxUSN]

I feel like there should have been some tuba "ooomp-ooomp ooomp-ooomp" music for the trailer on that crossaxle section lol.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Those were the WORST corrugations I've ever been on. No speed was right for them, lol. Lots of side-by-side traffic with open diffs seem to have created them.

[@sonalmalhotra07]

Awesome content. I just love your channel and calmness with which you present. God Bless You.

[@Jan-pw4po]

Absolutely spectacular scenery down in your part of N America

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

Amazing country! Amazing video of that country! And yes, rest is definitely needed when you've been jostled around like a ragdoll for a few days...glad you scheduled that in!

[@LifestyleOverland]

It was such a great landscape and relaxing day in the rain.

[@kurtlawson4012]

[33:26] What stakes are you drilling into the ground? That seems like an awesome way to get things secured fast!

[@jaystewart9947]

Great time. Thanks for sharing

[@OutontheTrails]

Kevin, you’ll have to tag Brad from Trailrecon that you saw big horn sheep. He’s never seen one out in the wild, so you’ll have to prove to him that they exist😆

[@backcountry.viking562]

I love watching yall's adventures. Hoping to get out that way for one of my own someday soon.

[@Zach81497]

Always glad to see another video! Are you guys planning to make it to Moore expo?

[@ShirleyGronin-iu8sw]

I hear that the Alabama Hills have already been closed to overnight camping.😮

[@LifestyleOverland]

Last I checked it was the west side of the road but concentrating more people into smaller spaces isn't a good solution.

[@OverlandFlorida]

My fiancé and I always look forward to your videos! Thanks!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

With all that huge Awning, do you ever consider rain capture to add to your water resources?

[@LifestyleOverland]

Absolutely, we've done it before when we didn't have the same carrying capacity as the trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5WlqX-shtZjiKssi=EMJCmOdY8_3zzgGa&t=182

[@danieldonegan6914]

Awesome video. There is nothing worse than an overcooked steak.

[@1crazyphotog]

My wife thought the geo formation behind the teapot looked a little naughty.

[@Bigthoogs]

22:33...good lord im hungry now.

[@rls63]

Wonderful trip. Where did you get your tent stakes/screws ? They look like they would hold awesome.

[@LifestyleOverland]

These were from Amazon but I dislike them. They're too big on the auger portion so I'll be trying some others before I recommend any of them.

[@alexmseu]

Great content! Would you confidently pull that trailer with your family in it? We’re thinking about getting out of our 3rd gen Tundra into something more reliable like the 4Runner, but we also occasionally tow a 3000 lb off road trailer. Thoughts?

[@JeffCanyon]

Kind of off topic... Does Keith have his own channel? We have the same OVRLND camper as he has, and would love to see how he set up his rig. Keep up the great work.... Thanks Jeff

[@vinke3177]

Hey, Kev. Vin here. Steak and mushrooms are an excellent choice. Double up on both next time. But the salad with dressing and crunchy bits...garbage. Don't bother with it.

[@user-kx2bc1mg4v]

这款丰田车真的是大爱啊。

[@davidk6668]

Have you ever tried pre-cooking some of your food before you leave and then just warm it up on the trail?

[@joemzd]

Since you have a vacuum sealer, take the next step and learn sous-vide: perfectly cooked proteins without risk of cross-contamination when camping.

[@American_Mike]

Sounds like someone needs to get a Meater sponsorship

[@darrengray2309]

I noticed the oven you used that sat on a gas cooktop. .Do you have anything in the US like the one we use in Australia they are very popular. The original Australian made and designed is called the 12v Travel Buddy. These can be used while driving.

[@kougan3126]

Hello, would like to know the the brand of those pans your cooking with?

[@user-yj1py2jw1i]

I wonder if a frozen pizza would fit in that oven. Medium Rare steak looks good 👍

[@dougg8280]

So, do you miss your Cook Partner stove at all? My experience is that it is a tank that is only good for boiling water.

[@Healersheeler]

🎉

[@michaelcook5233]

Kevin, have a little more faith brother. You should see the conditions the Bush Company stands up to in Aus, with no polls or ropes. Great video as always 🙏🏻

[@LifestyleOverland]

I've seen strong awnings snap brackets. I've seen strong awning on strong bracket rip roof racks... I'll always stake them down in overnight situations, especially with rain 😁 Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@GamerNxUSN]

Someone didnt do an ATAF on their tools after working on it.

[@ViajandoaloLatino]

Hola 👋

[@darrengray2309]

We are having the same problem in Australia. The inner suburban Greenies have alot of political clout over our Federal and State Labor Governments. So places are getting closed at an alarming rate their reasoning is " We are closing everything down for future generations"

[@harvmac69]

I never complain about anything in your content, but I have to ask you, doesn't that loud exhaust get to you? I would be concerned about disturbing wildlife. Thoughts?

[@LifestyleOverland]

Yes, it's done nothing but get louder. The whole system is rusting up already too. Flowmaster brand isn't impressive anymore! I just extended the tailpipe to see if it would help with the drone but it's only about 5% better. We are shopping for a new primary rig so when that happens, ol' Silver will go under the knife for some fixes. I'm tuning down the equalizer on the drivebys now to take the edge off for viewers. As to wildlife... they don't care at all. I've had close encounters multiple times with loud and quiet vehicles. They're more afraid of people on foot, snapping twigs like a real predator.

[@lda7473]

Some ppl just are still immature in caring for Mother's kingdom to be true garden keepers & be grateful for her creations for us explore/enjoy, but learn to respect. PPL just dont know like Moana movie, Mother's body is laying down on the western USA. Just do a google map, and u will see a formation of our Mother Goddess/Earth creating this beautiful western USA, where her heart is formed in the 4 corners. The natives eons ago knew & tried to preserve all of the sacred lands from being disrespected, but the invaders came in (from old world/EU) & wiped out most of the ancient natives who were the garden keepers...Now that many nomads have returned home to honor & remember our roots to protect her garden/creations, you are being a great example to many to preserve/respect her body/kingdom for all future generations to enjoy. Thank you for all that you do & cont to inspire many others. Safe travels always.

[@29VK05]

This wide angle and fish eye shots are nausiating. I guess he has a new toy!? What a waste of money!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Had to find something new for folks to complain about 👍

[@jkuventures4514]

Can't stand 360 camera.. jmo

[@yragtgov]

You need a hair cut😮

[@sothickitssickk]

how does that 4runner not overheat? towing AND also going on sand with a v6. the tundra seems to be having an easy time

[@LifestyleOverland]

This 4Runner was born for this. Over 200k and mostly towing and off-road miles. Never a single overheating situation. (Transmission fluid gets changed every 25k which helps a lot)
