Overland Exploring Big Bend National Park, Part 1 4K

[@CurtisBuchanan-o3d]

Great video!

[@Marz78963]

Really enjoyed the video and what a stunning night sky capture near the beginning of the video. If I'm ever out that way I'll be sure to pack a telescope. Looks like it's perfect dark skies, no light pollution.

Thank you! Still one of my favorite places I've ever visited.

[@RobertWilliamssoonerpa]

Once again, thank you for sharing your experience!

[@CHExplore1]

No problem glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Chris I’m also traveling the states solo this year. I was just in Big Bend the last 5 days with my FJ Cruiser and I wanted to thank you for all the great tips in your video. I camped along the primitive roads and it was great! I’m headed towards California now, good luck man!

[@CHExplore1]

No problem, glad you found it useful! Man that park is incredible, I need to go back. Good luck on your trip!

[@SgtOverlander]

Incredible video brother! I love the simple, first-person footage. I'm from SA and have been to Big Bend many times. It's a magical place and a great trip for overlanding. Keep up the good work and be safe. I just subscribed!

[@CHExplore1]

Thanks man! I can't believe that was my first time to Big Bend, it is a magical place. Can't wait to go back again!

I wanted to hate on you because I'm so jealous. Seriously, though, when you dropped the Super Troopers quote, I immediately subscribed for that alone! Last month, I finished-up a road trip out west, which included Big Bend NP, in my GTI. I'm thinking I want something AWD the next time I go out, so I can explore more, but after watching this video it's now crystal clear to me the difference between AWD recommended and high clearance/4x4 required.... holy crap! Keep them coming.

[@CHExplore1]

Thank you! I would agree with the 4wd but I've also been on some crazy roads and have passed Subarus thinking holy crap how'd you get here!? Haha I need to add more movie quotes into my videos I gotta stop editing out my random ramblings.

[@martinzachariae6605]

Awesome impressions, thank you for uploading your adventure.

[@CHExplore1]

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jcuptxmtb]

Great video man, impressive solo camera work and editing. Subscribed.

[@CHExplore1]

Thank you! Getting better as I go. Hope to improve some quality (wind sock lol) on the next adventures.

[@3beepslater512]

Great video. Will be there in about a week.

[@CHExplore1]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy the park as much as I did.

[@hikingwithjackieboy]

We were out at Big Bend at the end of April. Really enjoyed it.

[@CHExplore1]

Nice! Love that park can't wait to go back.

[@hikingwithjackieboy]

@@CHExplore1 we'll be in the area around Labor Day

[@American_Muscle_Truck]

Thanks for the video! I'm thinking about going solo myself soon. I have a supercharged V8. Did you notice gas down there 91 octane or higher?

[@CHExplore1]

Thanks glad you liked it. Yea panther junction gas station has 93. It's a freaking blast down there.

[@American_Muscle_Truck]

@@CHExplore1 cool! This will be the third time I've ever camped 👍

[@CHExplore1]

@@American_Muscle_Truck if you can wait I'd wait till November /december it's hot as hell down there.

[@electriclife68]

How is the road to Juniper Canyon trail head could a Subaru ascent make it?

[@CHExplore1]

I'd be careful but I believe you could make it in a SUV. I don't quite remember the drive in but it's part of black gap road which can get technical but I believe the part that just goes to juniper canyon is fine. If you take the turn off to black gap you will have problems.

[@afterthelandroverexperience]

Great video. We’re planning an overland trip to Big Bend State and National parks. I have a weird question: we’re driving a vehicle that requires premium fuel. Is it fairly easy to find premium gasoline at gas stations around the parks?

[@CHExplore1]

Glad you liked it! There is a gas station in the park that has all three of the normal octanes! I don't think they offer ethanol free gas but they definitely have high octane.

[@jro6497]

Where was the first place you camped?

[@CHExplore1]

29.40720, -103.09191, McKinney springs. Accidentally camped at these Coords rather than the designated camp spot.

[@Backzilla]

San Antonio 😝💪🏽

[@franciscolugo5611]

Can I Drive my ATV in Big Bend?

[@CHExplore1]

I don't believe ATVs or side by sides are allowed. Would be cool tho
