Over 200 Miles of MUD & SNOW was Worth It!

I continue my trek deeper and deeper in the the back country of Eastern Nevada with my good friends who have been exploring this wilderness region for 40 years. Find some great camping spots, cook up so delicious camp meals, search for ghost towns, old cabins and abandoned mines and even make a quick stop into town for resupply.

In case you missed it, here is part 1 of this amazing adventure: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXnKeIeql7GsqJo

[@GATORADDAM]

Absolutely the coolest outdoor video I've seen in a long time! It doesn't always have to be rock crawling and 3ft deep water crossings. That's not "overlanding". The scenery, the remoteness, the exploration, the self sufficiently of sleeping and cooking in nature. That's what it's all about. And you do that very - very well.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@Michael_Tran]

We're so spoil here in the West. So many pretty terrains to go explore.

[@TrailRecon]

We are blessed to have some great public lands to explore, we just have to be sure to continue to take care of it.

[@Wrangzilla]

Yes you guys are. Us east coast guys have pretty country. But off road trails are not too plentiful.

[@SIMAR68]

Yes y’all have great trails and awesome views but up here in Minnesota, Wisconsin & Michigan have a the great views from a fishing boat 😉

[@CityPrepping]

Beautiful!

[@woof3598]

straight down to the the family room to put this up on the projector screen, awsome trip

[@TrailRecon]

Right on!

[@rmorales1029]

Thanks Brad for the timeliness of this video. In 2-3 hrs I will be undergoing shoulder replacement surgery so this helped put my mine at ease. Glad you enjoyed NV’s Public Lands and scenery.

[@TrailRecon]

Hope you surgery goes well and you have a speedy recovery!

[@mikemurphy2764]

I just recently started following you. Thoroughly enjoying your adventures. This one has been great.

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you are enjoying the adventures! Thank you!

[@Gustav92069]

Awesome trip, Brad as always, I can't wait till I'm out with you guys and enjoying the company of great people, hope we see Marco again soon, take care doc. Gustav

[@LoneStarSwirl]

The pre-seasoned eggs in the plastic jar is clutch, my wife actually does that! So cool. Pre-cooked pasta...hmmm...never knew there was such a thing...good to know. Very hard to beat a good biscuits & gravy breakfast, especially when you put some breakfast sausage in the gravy! Awesome video series man. I am thoroughly enjoying it! Great company and comradery goes a million miles.

[@milesrocky]

Super envious of you on this trip, and thanks for calling out locations more in part 2 :)

[@bradleyjohnson3068]

Best line of the video "Marco, you have nuttin to worry bout" 🤣. I enjoy the videos and dream of the day when I'll have the time to explore in my Jeep or Bronco.

[@TrailRecon]

LOL!

[@mikebiron7339]

surprised to didn't run into The Chig (aquachigger). LOL He's been exploring all over those areas for weeks. Brad, thank you so much for continuing to provide these videos of your trips. I can't tell you how bad I want to tag along. I'm finally making that list of Jeep improvements in order to be ready enough. It will never be close to what you have built, but, it will work and the memories will be forever. It's going to be the first "big" trip with my oldest son, and I can't wait.

[@vernonbennettiii3646]

Hey Brad, I especially enjoyed your comments about the large old mining machinery, and your personal experience with similar equipment while you were in the Navy. You have a talent for bringing your trips "down to earth" and bringing your viewers in on the fun (unlike some of the "overproduced" overlanding ("X") videos). Keep up the good work!

[@TrapperSamm]

I like this way of filming, thru the windshield and the sides as you explain where your going and it has to be a lot easier without stopping and running ahead all the time. Great series

[@mrminer604]

Thanks Brad for sharing your adventure with us. I know you must have more stories for years to come. Thanks for taking the time to film. Hopefully you get to see TTR.

[@wardperozuk2782]

Another great video Brad. I really appreciate the basic setups. I believe we all get caught up in what is the latest and greatest gear and this was a nice treat. Cheers

[@DixieOverland]

Those old mining towns look so cool to explore. I'd imagine the stories are as endless as the scenery.

[@nevestrails]

Amazing! Thanks for your hard work to make such a great vídeo! Congrats from Brazil

[@1111Overland]

Brad, I ordered an extra bamboo cutting board on Amazon that fits perfectly on the LEFT of my Outback Adventure table. Now when I slide the right side out I slide the extra one into the left to support the fuel can of my BaseCamp stove. Works perfect, and keeps the fuel canister out of the way of my flame while I cook. Plus if I need an extra surface, I have it!

[@TrailRecon]

Sounds like a great setup, thanks for sharing!

[@TYZR4ME]

Thanks for posting another great video Brad!!! Every time Beverly and I watch one of your videos we want to hook up the overland trailer and Jeep and head out... Oh and Beverly makes a Taco soup that almost has the same ingredients. Must have been pretty good as Jim gets his second bowl!! LOL Great video bud...

[@riverbear2441]

My father, brother, and I were just up there recently for hunting season exploring, and stumbled across that same cabin, the kilns and that windmill! That place was so neat to see! Not far from there we stumbled across an old cemetery too! Beautiful area!

[@chrisecker9341]

Trailrecon, the channel I hit like before I see the vid.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@amanuelyesuf1117]

Thank you for sharing this awesome overlanding video and for showing how to truly enjoy nature with some good people. I'm following you all the way from Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, Africa. Stay solid brother. Cheers👌👍

[@hankthetank185]

This trail was great. Amazing views. Love the abandoned 🏚 Looking forward to the next leg.

[@ziyedong612]

You have so many trips never forget😅great video

[@griffinnoyer3297]

Woohoo! I love your videos so much, Brad - can’t wait to watch this today while I plan my weekend trip

[@hughwolfe1176]

Brad that was a wonderful adventure, thank you for taking us along.

[@timberdogz]

Awesome series! Great history in a beautiful area. Thanks for taking us along!

[@bradleyhightower6849]

This channel and epic family road trip are the two best overland adventure channels. Always great content and such peaceful content

[@utahyork3338]

Nice get away - AGAIN! Great friends on a nice road trip. I need to get out of the city more often. Thanks for taking us along.

[@96kylar]

Im from a small town, west Utah. Ive spent a ton of time out west Utah/east Nevada. When people ask, and I tell them, where i went for a week with my dog, they tell me "man, its boring and ugly out there, ..theres nothing to do or see". I just say "ya,.. dont go,..." ( the less, the better, to me anyway) I guess beauty is really in the eye of the beholder. Because I found so much beauty, out there, I honestly thought my heart would explode at times. Happy adventures out there all...

[@lancescimeca4855]

what an epic time. Thank you for sharing!

[@Voyagersk9]

The fire in the cabin was awesome!! Looks like a amazing trip!! Love it Brad!! 👍👍👍👍

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

So interesting and beautiful Brad. The kiln ovens were so interesting. All your camp meals are great Brad. 19:36 the fork melting into the burning log was a neat shot. 19:55 quite the cleanup ahead of you there Brad ;-) what an incredible trip/journey that had to be Brad. Thank you for taking us along!

[@chadtrips3203]

That's awesome. My Uncle was a BT and retired out as one. He was the Civilian boiler plant tech at Great Lakes too he retired from that job as a Navy civilian employee also.

[@MentatGhola]

It would be super cool and interesting to hear about your buddy's vehicles/rigs that they used over their 40 years of exploring.

[@s.m.p735]

Such an amazing trip! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@joeoutabout2947]

I spent some time exploring the area around Pioche last summer. The beauty, solitude and history keeps me coming back. Glad you're enjoying it. You guys are eating better than I do.

[@gearlist]

Been waiting for pt.2, really enjoyed this one as well, Brad!

[@TrailRecon]

So great to hear, thank you!

[@flyfisher530]

Great video Brad! Love seeing these remote places in Nevada.

[@dirtroadcouple7358]

Brad- your videos are always great! Thanks for taking us along!

[@TrailRecon]

I appreciate that!

[@AW-xv7dq]

what a great group of gentleman Thanks for sharing!

[@bigtime6837]

My family loves when I make biscuits in the BBQ. Put them in a old pan and throw them in on low. Super cool breakfast in the middle of nowhere!!

[@davidw9631]

Another fantastic video. Thanks Brad. Oh and thanks for the discount on my trailgater. I love that thing.😀

[@santosruiz1461]

that cabin look so happy to have you guys with the fire enjoy that night thats awesome

[@dfrford]

What an awesome trip! Looks amazing out there.

[@bosse641]

Wonderful time on the trails.

[@derekjarman1638]

So many cool old buildings and stuff to see! Great video Brad 👍👍

[@canadian4wd654]

Man what an amazing adventure, the history there is so cool , to be able to enjoy a fire in a old abandoned cabin just awesome , beautiful area!

[@exploretography]

Great adventure Brad! Very fun getting into the snow and friendship around the fire!

[@svsalacia6495]

Again another video full of memories for me and I just want to thank you and your friends. I think i will be making my way back out there this spring on my way to see my youngest at UC Santa Cruz. Many Thanks

[@ryandouglass4]

I live in eastern Nevada and this is honestly so much fun to see!

[@roberthallam6824]

Great adventures ! I have to visit that area soon ! Thank you for another wonderful video !

[@johnmoore1459]

Great job guys loved this one !!!

[@nickb5410]

Great adventure, great guys and really enjoyed the music. I usually don't care for the music many tubers insert into their videos. Your musical choices were perfect for this video. Well done! I have been to some of these places you visited in this series, but didn't spend enough time. I'll be going back for sure.

[@SpencerHogg]

Looks like such an incredible trek

[@Tower1645]

I love exploring eastern Nevada. We have many places in Northwest Nevada as well.

[@brianfitzpatrick4437]

It's time to go back to Pioche, we stayed at the Overland Hotel a few years ago but didn't have the time to explore outside of town. Thanks for sharing this adventure Brad!!

[@billylemire5469]

Jim seems like the kind of guy who could tell some great campfire stories

[@TrailRecon]

Oh ya!

[@horizon42q]

Your video editing and story telling is excellent

[@Gothic1Actual]

Another excellent video! Thanks Brad

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@byronbrasher8118]

I have had my Lectric XP for over two years now, and love it. I ride wintering in Florida right on the Atlatic beach. I ride it at my summer, fall digs in the hills. You won't go wrong getting one. Another great show Russ.

[@georgebrill3072]

Great job, looks loads of fun.

[@BROVERLANDER]

Living the dream! Enjoy the video, thank you!

[@theortegas5502]

I once made a comment about how clean your jeeps are, even on the trails. On this one my friend totally looks like your jeep was rescued from underground lol. I enjoy watching your videos and the information that you always provide for viewers

[@stevetabor4447]

Awesome video love all the history old towns an mines etc beautiful country great stuff guy’s as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@johnhornback7878]

Thanks for the video..

[@colinratner5504]

Looks like so much fun!

[@carolinagirl4483]

Very beautiful! Nice video!

[@brunnie]

Great video!! I can't believe that your trail kitchen doesn't have measuring spoons (he says as he writes them on his list to things to check). "A dash of this... dump some of that in...Yep tastes OK." (And nobody died).

[@mini2nut67]

Thanks for sharing!!! Wouldn’t it be funny if Jim (Dynatrac) broke an axle on the trip😁

[@markwisniewski2227]

I would love to do this someday. This is pure serenity. And BTW, that dinner you made looked delicious.

[@daytonmunk3128]

It really is amazing all you can see and explore and have to yourself out in Eastern Nevada. You need to come a little farther north next time and check out "Mount Washington" and the trail you can drive to above the tree line with the bristle cone pines trees and 11,700' summit. Some old mines you can explore as well there. Another great spot is the "Success Loop" just outside Ely, Nevada, not a hard trail at all but truly a gorgeous trail with plenty of camp spots. Not to mention the remote hot springs you can take a dip in scattered throughout the entire area. Glad to see you showing off Nevada, it truly is hidden gem that a lot of people ignore or just don't know about all together.

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks for those suggestions, I will absolute be heading back and exploring more soon!

[@Christian-pe9ce]

Hi Brad, I a Jeeper from Germany and i love and following your Vids. I drive a JK CRD 2007 and a JL 4xe 2021 kind regards Chris

[@TrailRecon]

Hello, so great to hear you are enjoying the videos, thank you!

[@nyt6o]

Loved the videography and scenic views!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@nicktuttle6777]

What a great adventure. Looks like you’re having a blast

[@TrailRecon]

We did!

[@ratchetman]

Awesome place to visit. I was at the same location by Pioche a couple of weeks ago and there was less snow on the roads. Cant wait to go back and find the mines you visited.

[@jobc9184]

Brad I always enjoy your videos! Wallace the JK looks indestructible and amazing!!!

[@NorQuest360]

Really enjoyed this two-part video! Drove many miles on Northern and Northeastern Nevada back roads and trails when I was young. We used to hunt deer north of there. Looking forward to exploring the area more when I get back home from overseas. You're making me homesick!

[@TrailRecon]

So glad you enjoyed it, I can't wait to go back!

[@cmreamhomes3274]

Great content! Much better than Netflix or Hulu! Thanks for sharing

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@hellayellajlurubicon]

Brad, great video, I grew up just north of there. Makes me home sick. My grandpa use to take me through a lot of that country and tell me stories of the mines and land marks. According to him the cabin you guys were in was the Bristol Wells stage stop.

[@stuartwilson5634]

Brad another great and informative vid, well done, it never gets old.

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnbarrios1598]

Great adventure.. love the mine exploration. And never knew you started bas a BT. When you entered the Navy. That was my rate for six years!!!.

[@Voyagersk9]

I just spent a week and half with my son and his family at the foot hills of the Ruby Mountain range!! Elko Nevada! Another town with so much history!! I had a great time!!

[@tonyk1amt806]

What a cool crew to adventure with. I may have to go through that area next time I head to Arizona to visit friends. Looking forward to the next segment Brad! I'm going to have to try that chili sometime if I can figure it the recipe 😋 Happy Trails!

[@avonrastonar]

Good coffee and good food is a great way to start the day Love your content brother, awesome🤙🏽

[@TrailRecon]

I appreciate it!

[@mark5.11]

Great video as always!

[@brianl2595]

Amazing views, Brad! Your video adventures with great story telling never disappoint.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@stevej7139]

Love it , I might have to add that to my next trip to Texas since I pass through the area sort of depending on what route I take from near Seattle . Luckily I'm retired so adding a few days to a trip is just a better trip , the time doesn't matter .

[@frogdu]

Awesome Trip!

[@OVRLNDX]

hahaha!!! Jim got me worried for a second! Awesome adventure Brother!! bummed to missed it!!

[@TrailRecon]

Got to get you out there next time!

[@jdavis8610]

Looks like fun!

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@TrailRecon]

Glad you liked it!

[@1hasbeen531]

Thanks for mentioning being good stewards of historical sites. So many such structures here in AZ have been vandalized, damaged, and pilfered it is heartbreaking.

[@chrishoward4546]

Awesome thanks for your hard work sir 👍

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@mannygarcia3437]

Awesome love hitching a ride with you on your awesome trip

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks for joining us!

[@shannonpervere958]

As exciting and creative as the eggs in the peanut butter jar is (I like the idea of the ability to pre season) Another alternative is to use the eggs in a carton. They come re closable (read orange juice carton style). Just wanted to share. Amazing video as always.

[@Billsadventures13]

Awesome trip, can’t wait to see more.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@jamesc2072]

Brad, great video as always bro! Absolutely love that area. Took my son up that way in September and we camped along one of the rivers for some trout fishing. We are actually headed out to Blythe this weekend to check out some old mines along the Bradshaw Trail with some of my retired Marine buddies. We gotta get you to come with us one of these times!

[@TrailRecon]

Sounds like a great trip!

[@overland505]

Awesome video as always. We use a disposible water bottle to put eggs in. That way you can compress it down as it gets empty for space.
