OVERLANDING ARIZONA | Bighorn sheep sighting

[@lisabailon1010]

My dog and i just finished 3 years and 3 months of van life traveling all over the US. We did 24 States. We are resting in bricks and mortar for a few years and then back on the road. Florida is home for now. But loved Arizona and New Mexico the best. Keep the videos coming. And safe travels.

[@EFRT]

Wow, that sounds like an epic Journey you both were on! So glad you found our channel. Have a wonderful day.

[@toledobendadventures5747]

I love that y’all pray! I know it isn’t popular with social media, but heavenly father loves to hear our appreciation for all he gives us!

[@godsbackcountryoverland]

Should have left the short prayer before dinner in everyone knows you're a Christian family. Great video may God Bless you all Greatly in 2024 and beyond.

[@houstontexas4658]

Lando with his boots on is pure Sunday morning Sunshine!! 🤩🤠

[@CampingRuss]

Another great video to wake up to this morning Carol I always love your cooking great recipes gives me different ideas and that poor puppy dog lost his booty I guess when you go buy another pair get a spare back up set 😊😊 really cool that you got to see some big horn. Also ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

[@QuietCottage]

Lando IS a good boy !!! I really like that y'all put his boots on is rough terrain. Save those paw pads. I love this post.

[@philnorthernhorizon9869]

Just a hint for you. When you cut up onions the fumes are attracted to moisture that is why it affects your eyes. I usually set a container of water beside where i am cutting up onions and then no more tears 😊. Love watching you guys. Always a special treat to my Sunday afternoons. God bless you all.

[@EFRT]

Thanks for the tip. Definitely going to try that next time. Have a wonderful day.

[@stevegrace6732]

Onions are wonderful for an eye watering experience,glad to see you all back on the trail

[@TempehGoreng]

The cooking and Parents' Prayer the perfect match..

[@kristinamillard2635]

Dear, Mr & Mrs. Peter & Carol van Stralen, I so enjoy your show. I too have a large family, (4 boys and 1 girl) I was born in P.E.I,Ca. but reside in the US now. I love your show, and all your adventures, but especially all your recipes and watching your family cook, and inventing/creating amazing food. Please come out with a cookbook!?? I will be fist in line to buy one. Love watching your show and seeing your kids grow and flourish. You should be so proud, as you have the nicest, most well rounded/grounded kids/young adults! I so look forward to Sundays, and viewing your show. I pray we cross paths someday, as it would be such a privilege to meet you and your amazing family! P.S.- Love, Love, Love..Lando!!!! Take care, and See you down the road!

[@EFRT]

Thank you so much for your comment. We really appreciate it. Yes it would be great to meet you all. Have a wonderful day!

[@RinconPilot]

Thanks guys. Life is for the living...

[@MariaHernandez-bz4mf]

Carol should do a “Really Simple Meals” cook book!! The food always looks amazing, especially when cooked over a fire!! I would definitely buy it 👍🏼

[@EFRT]

I agree!!

[@kennymalikowski4524]

If you want to avoid static in your coffee grinder put 2-3 drops of water on the beans prior to grinding. It works! Learned that from America's Test Kitchen.

[@EFRT]

Thanks for the tip

[@rebeccafaussett4673]

Lando is just PRECIOUS ❤❤❤❤❤

[@allancampbell8274]

Beautiful family beautiful life

[@EFRT]

Thank you 😊

[@nickbristol3457]

Really guys another wonderful video. What I really want is to sit there and enjoy that awesome looking steak. Always so enjoyable to watch!!

[@TYZR4ME]

Hi Guys, Beverly and I are glad to see you guys back in your happy place!!! We have been keeping you guys in our prayers with hopes that time will heal your guys hearts and that God would bring comfort to all of you and the entire family. Wish we could join you guys because you are so close to us but we are still awaiting results from the doctor regarding Beverly's fracture on her right foot. As always we keep you guys in our daily prayers and wish you guys safe travels. Carol I will IM you regarding a trip we are doing in March that will take us out maybe like 9 to 10 days, maybe our paths will cross?? You guys take care.....

[@EFRT]

Wow hopefully Beverly‘s injury heals quickly. Tell her we are thinking of her. Yes, stay in touch and we’ll see if we can meet up while we’re in the Southwest. Have a wonderful day.

[@sodobson]

thank you for the time to make these videos. family oriented and humbling. Everything we own is twice as much and twice as large as we need. Thanks for the reminder. God Bless.

[@EFRT]

Well said!

[@ritamartin8609]

[@jaystewart9947]

Relaxing video. Thanks for sharing

[@EFRT]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@GetOutGO]

Great to see you guys relaxed again, awesome scenery and great video as usual! Nice patch collection as well 😉

[@m.t.mobile]

We bought a set of mukluks for our dogs. I didn't even get the 2nd one on before the first one came off!! Yay Lando! Keep them paws safe and cactus spikes free!!

[@carolranes91]

Hats off for the beautiful imagery! Love your videos because you show so much beauty. I am fortunate when I was in my 20s I wanted to travel but refused to pay for air fare which i thought was a rip off! I ended up working in technology and the companies paid for lol my first class travel because we were making so much money. I got to travel all over the US and Canada! Loved Canada and its wonderful people! I did all the traveling I ever want to do even Europe and the wonderful warm islands. I am really a home body but was glad I took advantage of the first class travel. I got to stay in the Arizona desert many times it is so beautiful especially during the blooming season. I could not believe the vivid colors I saw unlike anything I had seen before. Also when I travelled to British Columbia I got to visit the flower market that is set up to mass ship flowers to the USA. So amazing the colors. What a real treat. And also the produce from the rich soil in that area of Canada was a treat. Stayed at a bed and breakfast where she fixed fresh meals every day and had fresh cut flowers every day! I was in heaven!

[@jijeeadventure]

Lovely video just like the old days. Really enjoyed, thank you

[@chrisdenning9816]

Living in Yuma, I love the cold weather knowing it won’t last long and the temps will rise. I need to get on that trail. Thanks

[@azdesertrat9104]

I never get tired of seeing my state 48, especially the beautiful desert scenery! 😍There's a guy from AZ who's channel is 'Work Less, Enjoy Life More' and he goes all over AZ in his truck camper and has some very interesting sites I never knew about! And I'm from here and lived here most of my life! Watching your channel makes me wish I were young again, I'd totally live a more adventurous life like y'all are doing! Love your videos, keep 'em coming!!

[@ronvalderrama5765]

What I love about your videos? Packed with adventure while experiencing the peaceful grace of gratitude. It resonates all who see it. Be blessed, continue to have a fabulous journey.

[@EFRT]

Thank you!

I can just taste the beautiful food! The sheep were amazing and don’t you just love the GCI outdoor rockers?! I love that I can rest my head back and watch the night sky/stars comfortably 👍🏻 There is an almost Zen like quality to this video which I just love. Taking in every moment of life’s most simple and enjoyable pleasures. Being outdoors, fire, loved ones, and yummy food. ❤️ Thanks for bringing us! Barret

[@EFRT]

Thanks, so glad you enjoyed the video.

Another simple meal from Carol! LOL We enjoy having coffee with you every Sunday morning, happy week to you, thanks for the video ♥

[@ajfamilyadventures]

It’s been definitely colder in Yuma and the surrounding area this year. I grew up in the foothills out of town and enjoyed many evenings sitting outside with my parents tooling at the mountains and stars! We were camping out at Martinez Lake recently and looking forward to your next chapter of travel!Another wonderful video. 🙌👍

[@67wildwolf]

Looks nice and warm in AZ. Wish I was there instead of here in Tulsa it's 4 here at the moment with a feels like -12 and snowing. Carol you have a good eye for catching those Bighorn sheep. Years ago in that same area my older brother said he'd never seen one. He lived in the state. One of the good memories I hadn't thought of in 30 years until today. I said to him turn around and at your 6 o'clock. 2 rams were fighting for one of the spectating females. He said not everyone sees them they are like ghost. I enjoyed todays video and especially your cooking.

[@EFRT]

Oh that’s awesome. That must’ve been a site to see. Have a wonderful day

[@johnturner3122]

You should explore the Pinetop , Greer area beautiful mountain scenery with great areas to flyfish !!!

Amazing steaks 😋 …that’ll make those coyotes jealous! Nice to see the off-road adventures again!

[@tobyd4201]

Yall need a Lando cam! 😉👍 Have one facing forward and backwards when he's out running in front of y'all! 😊

[@rsmiller5316]

Wish I could send a picture. Our cat ran to the tv to see Lando. So funny.

[@Sushi2735]

Pete you are becoming an excellent storyteller and videographer. 2nd time watching And developing a different view! 🎉🎉🎉 well done, very well done!

[@barryraven4745]

Hearing that piano music with the clouds and the snow I thought Micheal Martin Murphy’s Wildfire was about to break out.

[@stevestahl9809]

I see your pointing towards Prescott on the map. Make sure you visit Watson Lake and take the hike around and to the back side of the damn. Great hike!

[@EFRT]

Thanks for the tip.

Man it's so soothing to watch your videos. It's the ideal life which you guys are living and is being portrayed perfectly by such awesome videos. Keep up the good work 👍. #LoveFromPakistan✌️

[@EFRT]

Glad you are enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching in Pakistan 🇵🇰

[@elizabethG633]

Carol, did you know if you fold over the Melita filters along each seam (side and bottom) your filters will not cave when you pour the hot water over your coffee grounds? It works like a darn.

[@EFRT]

Thank you. I’ll try that 👍🏻

[@reneepowell8541]

Pure, energetic joy watching Lando run! Thanks for sharing your little discoveries and experiences, the joy of each moment, for it's the sum of all the little moments that makes a life well lived. Take care and safe travels from Texas!

[@EFRT]

Well said. Thank you

[@J24606]

Love to you all. Tysm for sharing your desert time with us. God bless.❤

Thank you

Great to see those sheep. Lando is so funny high stepping, but best to be safe. Hope you have a fantastic trip the views are brilliant NZ CHEERS

[@EFRT]

Thank you

[@sleddogsam]

Great video as always!! Dog boots are usually 1 size smaller for the back feet compared to the front feet. Most good companies sell in pairs not 4s or allow for front and back sizing if buying a set of 4.

[@EFRT]

Thanks for the info!

[@mirzaking3030]

Miss one member of your family

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always EFRT. The Arizona desert is so spectacular weather it be at night with the stars shining bright in the night sky or early in the morning with the sun peeking out over the mountains is such a epic place to explore. Thanks for letting us ride along with y'all on y'all's adventures. Carol is there a particular brand of Olive oil that y'all use that you recommend?

[@EFRT]

It sure is! Because we are travelling we use whatever olive oil we can find in the locations we are in. When we are in Oregon however we go right to the growers, which tends to be the very best. 👍🏻

[@joec4871]

That looks like some good living. I really felt the part where the two of you sat and ate dinner. That was cool. I'm jealous!

[@EFRT]

Thank you. So glad you enjoyed the video.

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

Glassing wildlife is what I like best about overlanding. This is why I chose a jeep over side by sides and other off road vehicles. Learning about the fauna, bird watching, star gazing, and learning about geology are other activities I enjoy while overloading. Have you thought about adding the limb risers to the new vehicle like you did with the jeep? Thanks for sharing.

[@EFRT]

Yes, limb risers might be a good idea for the truck. 👍🏻

[@dougg8280]

We live south of Tucson and do a lot of hiking and exploring in remote areas of the desert. My kids occasionally wear shoes. The dogs never do. The kids tell me shoes are for going into town.

[@EFRT]

Dan is like that. Barefoot much of the time. 👍🏻

[@whereisjohnnow]

you should get an electric coffee grinder. so much easier and faster than a manual one.

[@ratnadipmajumdar8179]

Sweety orlando lost his shoes 👟👟 so sad.wonderful vlogue very different atmosphere but the metal 😊 was delicious 😋 happy journey ahead.

Thank you so much 😊

You guys are pushing out content like crazy. 3 30+ minute videos in a week is really impressive, hope y'all don't get burnout!

[@lorisavage491]

I look forward every Sunday morning to watching your videos. Do you have a link for the hatchet leather kit. I am always looking for something special to buy someone who always has everything but he wouldn’t ever think to buy himself something like that. Thanks for all the wonderful content.

[@EFRT]

Thanks for watching. Yes it is available at fieldcraftfrontier.com Have a wonderful day.

[@RedPillJonny]

I watched Dances With Wolves yesterday. What are the odds? I also lost a mouthful of coffee at 1:30 or so on your video. 🤣

[@richardwentland3489]

We’ve used such boots on our bird dogs too. The most durable are Lewis Dog Boots which are all rubber. Also the best way to secure the boots is with duct tape. Tape the leg where the top (actually a little below to a little above) of the where boot will lay. Then put the boot on and again tape over the boot where the top intersects the leg. If you do this properly you’ll never lose a boot again. God’s Blessing’s Curly From Oconomowoc

[@marktaylor8263]

I like the truck rig. Curious about the solar setup and if it powers everything when in camp? Recipe for that topping for your steaks pizzzz, lol. Great video.

[@EFRT]

Yes, the truck is 600 amp hours of battery and solar so it powers pretty much everything. Here’s a recipe for the chimichurri. Chimichurri Sauce SERVES: 6 Ingredients * 100 milliliters water * 10 grams salt * (0.5 ounces / 1 tablespoon) * 10 grams dried oregano * (0.5 ounces / 1 tablespoon) = 25 grams fresh oregano (1 ounce / 2 tablespoons) * 2 bay leaves * 2 garlic cloves chopped * 1 tablespoon chili flakes * 1 bundle parsley * 50 milliliters red wine vinegar * (2 ounces / 2 tablespoons) * 200 milliliters olive oil * (7 ounces / 1 cup) Recipe 1. Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. 2. Add the salt and stir until it dissolves. 3. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. 4. With a knife, smash the garlic and mince it very finely. 5. Transfer to a bowl. 6. Mince the parsley and add to the garlic, along with the oregano, the bay leaves and the chilli flakes. 7. Whisk in the red wine vinegar and then the olive oil. 8. Whisk in the salt water and mix. 9. For best results, prepare the chimichurri 1 day in advance so that the flavors have a chance to blend together.

[@GoSlowTaco]

Brad from @TrailRecon is going to be jealous y’all saw sheep and he didn’t.

[@slyflyby]

Not enough superlatives to pay to EFRT and Dan's channel .I love Lando !I worry about rattle snakes in the desert .There is a vaccine shot you can give annually.

[@michaelcook5233]

Brad will be very jelous of the wildlife spotting

[@vicentecanales6722]

excelente saludos

[@michelebisig6997]

Your videos are awesome!!!! I love little Lando as well!!! I have a question, I love those 2 tone pants that you all wear, are they hard to find?????

[@EFRT]

Thank you. Most of pants we wear our by Fjälräven- www.fjallraven.com Hope that helps. Have a wonderful day.

[@amyheflin143]

I bet the stars are beautiful out there in the desert. Would you shoot a little footage of them one night? The Milky Way would be spectacular!

[@EFRT]

Yes spectacular skies

[@harvmac69]

Great video as always! Can I ask, when you shoot your content from so many cameras, what is your process for keeping it all organized so editing is made easier? I was having a hard time keep a couple sources organized! lol! Maybe a video about this in the future?

[@EFRT]

Good idea. Yes we can do a video about this.

[@ilzeblom]

Another awesome video thx. What is TLM sauce/salsa btw?

[@EFRT]

It was homemade by friends. 👍🏻

[@Stan-ml5rx]

Wi!l be by masa. AZ by the end of t the week driving from NJ

Lando was doing the boot scoot boogie😂

[@carolranes91]

Beautiful pup! What about snakes in Arizona?

[@EFRT]

So far so good. He sticks mostly to the trail

[@rckjnkep]

What brand booties does Lando wear? They seem to stay on well, heading to southern AZ in two weeks and it looks like booties are a must buy for my dog.

[@EFRT]

They are by Ultra Paws - cosmic size 8 Hope that helps and have a wonderful day.

[@kathyhensarling2537]

Hi, I was just wondering if you can have a Self-Leveling function put on the rig?

[@EFRT]

Yes, I think there is an option for that

[@jamiecoley833]

Love the narration of Lando wearing the booties.

[@DuitserSwart]

Love your videos, seems like a lovely family. We have similar countryside in south africa and in the nothern cape of SA. I am thonking, what do you do if one of you snore every night?

[@EFRT]

Thankfully, no one snores too much. 👍🏻
