Being locked in a city, its one of my only few connections with nature right now in my life.

[@JanandAnn]

I love how all the other youtube overlanders always try to make the best meal they can possibly make. And heres Mike with instant noodles and eggs haha gotta love it!👏🏻

[@insaynbcr]

The sodium though!!

[@ale11channel]

Mike if there is one thing I need from you, it is more fishing videos. Appreciate the content!

[@Michael_Tran]

Never thought ill ever see Mike representing the "asian squat" at 8:13. That's an epic adventure man...I love doing a bit of fishing when I see a lake or stream as well.

[@jessemendez6127]

Use to watch the weekenderlander videos like people watch “friends” show on a daily! Lol missed them!!

[@coryvickers4184]

Nice little get away! Good job snagging the fish! Like you say doesn’t matter what gear you have just get out and enjoy the outdoors! Appreciate what you do Mike!

[@eltedo804]

I like all of your videos, but the Weekendlanders are for sure up there as a favorite!

[@VanAllenVlogs]

I’m so jealous. I need land and some space away from the city.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Set a goal, make a plan, make it happen!

[@k06a58]

@@LastLineOfDefense Finally made it out to Silverton this year. Years of saying I wanted to and this was the only way it finally happened. Now setting a plan for going back!

[@anchoradventuresyt]

The Weekenderlander series helped inspire the creation of my own channel. Thanks and keep them coming!

[@dereks.5416]

The camp spot looked AMAZING next to that lake! Also, I really enjoyed your music choices in this one. Keep it up Mike!

[@andyham6094]

Those 4runners are so sickkkkkkkk. Btw the scenes on that trail is absolutely stunninggggggg. Those mountains in the background is so beautiful. Colorado is truely such a beautiful state and can’t wait to visit there one day.

[@JH-mt3pp]

The Ouray/Silverton area has many great trails and the area is beautiful ! There are many Jeep and ORV rentals so trails are well traveled but some are very challenging.

[@JH-mt3pp]

It reminds me of a trail we have been on in Southwest Colorado. I understand not naming the trails. The ones we Jeep on are well known. They are well traveled but the scenery is awesome.

[@amorton94]

Dream trip right there. Simple overnight trip with buds and great scenery. Can't beat it.

[@JonnyBgooD007]

I gotta say, this is one of my favorite episodes. Its the fishing out in the wild open for me.

[@yp8120]

Great video and nice fish Mike! Love the Weekenderlanders!

[@0waverunner0]

i need to get up in our hills more...been slackin lately. put my tent to more use! love the vids as always man!

[@willlongan4921]

Great Weekenderlander... Three great things, dirt trails, fishing, and the Tacoma!

[@kayakengineer]

Hi Mike, loved the video. Best part was when you purposely wet your hands in the lake before handling the trout. Finally somebody that knows how to properly handle a fish. Keep up the good work. More like this!

[@BenBinnebose]

Ouch! I did that exact same thing in the 90's jumping a bmx bike with a set of bear traps. I still have the huge indentation from the missing chunks lol

[@reubenmontano8680]

Love the videos you do, this is a place im gonna find. I just need to.

[@3rdgenbestgen21]

what a beautiful place to go fishing and spend the night with the homies

[@808surferboy3]

Great minimalist weekender. Awesome treat with the rifle, wish you showed what the rifle sounds like shooting

[@jopu13]

Great video Mike! Beautiful spot and what a great catch that fish was!!

[@josebalboajr4992]

I’ve been following you for a while and I love your videos. You have great content. Stay safe out there you and your loved ones.

[@kirkrasmussen9629]

Mike - I can’t believe you had that lake to yourself!!! Every time I pass that lake it is full of folks camping. Great trip and loved the fishing elements. My son and I enjoyed the same fun weather pattern down south in the Sandie’s on a backpacking trip. You had more luck with the fish than we did. Keep up the great content👍

[@grassy3777]

What lake is it ?

[@Keep_Freedom_Free]

August 20-September 6 is the Alaska State Fair if you will be up here around then.

[@rocko7928]

Love the video. Great to see a SUPER motivator like yourself influencing people to get out there and live a great life. 👍 😁

[@25elcamaleon]

I really dig your photos of the vehicles when you're overlanding!

[@sdsviet]

QUESTIONS regarding the comparison: weights of both with all the gear on? whats the mpg with all the gear on? do you find parking a hassle with the bigger truck? without the other cars, do you gravitate towards one of the two for just quick daily commutes or errands?

[@JREMMACLIPS]

Almost done with my overland build on my tacoma. planning this exact location for my first trip

[@kensenwhite6019]

Wanna help me out and tell me where this is? Looking to do my first trip here

[@chrisdemas8246]

What a great spot! Love the Taco and the Tremor!

[@trevormangus7832]

Can’t say I’ve heard anyone enjoy a cup of noodles quite that much

[@BigfootBeerandGear]

I did the same thing on a bike. Only I was in middle school, on a BMX bike, in flipflops. Not a good combo. Nailed the bunny hop though!

[@vanillagorilla5570]

Another really enjoyable weekenderlander Lovin the scenic views.

Beautiful camping spot!

[@corbinflaming3951]

Greetings from Alaska! Hope to see you on the river!

[@bc30cal99]

Thumbs up from smoky southern BC for eating the past due date bar! Good stuff as usual on the rest of the video.

[@norcaljeeping434]

My biggest question would be capability of the f250 on the trail and if you had to choose one which one would you choose

[@ElDeeone1]

Perfect spot to wake up too, no idea the trail but am local will have to venture out to see if I can find it, smart call on not sharing so many places I have seen get wrecked due to over travel or people not being respectful.

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

This is my favorite kind of video! 👍🇺🇸

[@PC_Phil]

Great video LLOD!! Amazing views!

[@andyham6094]

The tremor is cool but the tacoma has so much charm to it. I’d take his tacoma over that new tremor all day everyday. Plus I’m more of a midsize truck guy over a giant full size like the tremor.

[@bunttom9007]

Thanks Mike! Great stuff!

[@keithboomgaard8394]

Great content! Would love to see some install videos on the trucks!

[@andrewsimpich9329]

Thank you for not mentioning this lake. It’s one of my favorites and often passed by most!

Imma find it tonight and post.

@@searching4adventure85 🙄 typical side by side response.

[@searching4adventure85]

@@andrewsimpich9329 weird. I don't own kid toys, I have real rigs. I have a '88 K1500 with a front axel swap on 35's and a LR4 with lockers, rack, winch, 33's. But I couldn't find this spot last night. Looks like it's white river national. But he said in a comment that it was local, so probably in Arapahoe. You'll see me out there this season. Dumping my garbage and setting fires.

[@daveoffroad7396]

Good one Mike..!

[@TerryOwensBansheePA]

Love your videos, question for comparison video: Is the gas mileage difference between the two trucks noticeable? I daily drive my Tacoma and fear how a full size rig would drain my bank account for fuel.

[@Kadenventures]

Awesome video man, liked seeing the fishing! Thanks 👌

[@1twotour]

I know you dont share the locations but damn, I really want to know the location of some of these places. Absolutely gorgeous!!

[@AvinashJhaUtd7]

did you find out where is it at? pm please.

[@derekeasley5894]

Tacoma vs Tremor: I believe both are great. I’m 6’3” 225lbs. Disabled vet with jacked up knees, hip, and back….jumping out of planes isn’t all its cracked up to be. All that said, the Tacoma is not comfortable for me especially on long hauls. I know because I tried it on an 12 hour run from Dallas to Pagosa and back. My broken body screamed at me. I currently own a Tremor. Lots more wiggle room for me in it.

[@Stevenk770]

Love the vid, looks like a nice getaway with the mates, loving the fishing and pew pews 👌💯

[@Dowells_nest]

I would think the break down will be trails and comfort. But the Taco has many more upgrade options. My Ram is almost impossible to get cool racks and lights.

[@westerncoloradowheeling]

Awesome video!!! Love high mountain camping right now. Too hot in GJ right now lol.

[@bigslacker666]

Great vid! Cool to see some trucks, fishing and snuck in some gun content in there. ;)

[@Captain-Awesome]

We need to see that thing out on the trail wheeling!! I keep watching your videos expecting that I’m gonna see that thing on the trail and I’ll end up seeing you eat and you’re set up which is awesome and your wife is cute so that’s a bonus but it would be awesome to see it out on the trails.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

The Tacoma that was on a trail in this video?

[@Captain-Awesome]

@@LastLineOfDefense That was a fast response and certainly a pleasant surprise. I was meaning your F250 Tremor. I have a 2020 Raptor and am always curious about how something of that size would do on the trail but I don’t want to risk damaging it. So I don’t wheel the Raptor but a built 96 Jeep Cherokee XJ. I love seeing the larger rigs on the trail.

[@JuanManuel-fm9jt]

I HAVE THE 4LO TUNE, ITS ABOVE THE OTT TUNE. BEST SO FAR

Should have had them Crocs in 4wd, would have saved your shin for sure. 😂

Ever see tundras or anything of that sizr on those trails?

[@jeremyhansen7055]

What tailgate cover/support is installed on your truck? That looks interesting...

[@konrad0311]

What do you use for a sd card reader? I can’t find one to use on my new iPad. The USB C type, I’ve tried two different ones

[@John-Mahoney]

Please review your comm setup for the trail! Ham? GMRS? Love to know!

[@bbond302]

I'm really proud of your guys fish handling etiquette. I have seen WAY too many fishing vids on KZbin of people handling fish like a bunch of Neanderthals.

[@MailOrderGamers]

Love the videos! I just got a 4x4 taco and I love it so far!

[@GATORADDAM]

Yep, I should do some fishing while I'm here. I've already done about every pass in the San Juan mountains and explored the towns. BTW. Hi Pie pizza..... nahhhhh. Great video man. Can't wait for your take on Tacoma verses the beast. Hahaha.

[@Trufit99]

Love your channel, learned a lot, after driving the f250 for a while, which ride quality do you prefer on road and off road Tacoma or Ford? I currently own a Tacoma but looking at Ford trucks

[@mustardman5366]

Was curious as to whether or not you carried any of your bag guns when you do your camping or just an EDC handgun?

[@jurgengintenstorfer3640]

A very very very Coool Video thank you !!!!!!

[@xXtheyeti1Xx]

When descending down steep grades how much of a difference is there in the two trucks ?

[@lapdragon101]

You didn't say why you don't talk about the trails you go on. You were going to comment about that some. I'm pretty sure I know why. My question on the full size truck was the weight and the length problematic on tight trails or step inclines? Was there a major difference or did you feel they were both very capable?

[@Itsjrob_]

What do you use to air down so quickly ?

[@zerokool-2058]

I’m going with my camry.!! Haha great video man.

[@vincenisly8699]

I'm sure I could find this, but what is the difference in wheel base length? Wondering how that affects you off road

[@camilrykowski5765]

Great video! Would you be willing to share with a very respectful Arvada native of 38 yrs the coordinates?

[@terraltyler1622]

OFFRODAD RIDE : I drive a midsized zr2 and it rides super well. Honestly, how is the offroad ride with the F250....rocks ruts washes ?

[@RodrigoGarciactg]

What lens were you using at night? Looked amazing

[@iwishiknew10]

I have been well, thank you

[@irvingramirez1071]

Thank you for such amazing content! Do you think a tundra could have done that trip ? Also does the Tacoma feel underpowered at all with gear ? Thanks again

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Yeah, Tundra would have no problem, though a stock one would have to navigate some sections a little more carefully. Tacoma feels underpowered right off the lot - but honestly with the gears it doesn't feel much different than stock as it sits now.

[@troylunn496]

I’ve been up this trail(if it is where I think it is) to Loch Lamond(just east of Idaho Springs) a few times in 2016 with my 2008 4.7L 4x4 tundra. Did it once with people, camping gear, and a dog, in November, with a tiny bit of snow on the ground. Only mods were UCAs, 32” x 9.5” tires, bilsteins, and a 3” lift. Made it up and back no problem, but not worth fishing up there in November… And coming down that switchback in the middle of the night in a full size truck because your tent ripped apart in the wind, and people are freezing is a B and half. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Plan accordingly, and prep for Colorado mountain weather.

[@MStrickkk]

Use by Dec 2020? What's the shelf life, 1 year? Pretty horrible life for a bar to put in a bug out bag.

[@jonathanruppe8024]

What are the limits of a full size truck to a mid size truck to most of the locations you go to? Is my #1 Q

[@Hessrs]

You mentioned you were going to talk about why you don't ever leak spots but never did! I probably know why but it'd be cool to hear your whole reasoning!

[@appl3.149]

Love the video

[@paparazziico4563]

what camera set up do use

[@dadlife3558]

Hey Mike. Question. Is that a SiriusXM antenna on the center of your hood? I assume you relocated it from the shark fin. Not sure if it’s in a video or if you just have the info to get that done. Thanks! Todd

[@harrynelson9203]

Bro, before i watched this video i was watching youtube videos on how to apply and remove sitches in wounds just for fun 🤣🤣👍🏻👌🏻🇬🇧

[@lighthouseworshipcenternsb3413]

Can you link your running boards

[@thinde88]

What percent of the trails do you think you could fit a full size truck on vs a midsize in Colorado?

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Technically fitting them probably somewhere in the 90% range, but some of those 90% would represent quite a bit of pinstriping and some potential body damage.

[@J.Young808]

For ease of use solo would you recommend smaller vehicles?

[@jonathanpadro9596]

Yes especially in Colorado

[@dennisneufeld9263]

Been enjoying your channel! I’ve got a 2016 F150 crew cab, short box with a canopy. It’s basically stock. Interested to know what you’d prioritize for getting started overlanding, mods-wise or gear-wise. Thanks!

[@nate3877]

Trade it for a 4Runner brotha

[@craig20088]

Colorado neighbor here. Love our backyard. Thinking of trading my HD diesel for a Tacoma. The 2 negatives I read are engine and seats. Any thoughts of what you have experienced ?
