Overlanding Arizona’s Most Historical Mountain Range | The Dragoons

[@lostarrowoverland4067]

You're doing great, kid. Your storytelling has really progressed, and you've found the magic of making a connection. Your grandfather's connection with old Tom has clearly picked up again with you. Now, as you travel to new destinations that feeling of a connection will draw you even further towards an answer. It'll be up to you through storytelling to make we the viewers feel what you're feeling. As you just did. Stop by and visit Johny Ringo Peters grave on the other side of the mountain. There you'll find my connection. We carry the same family name. Yep that Johny Ringo ...

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you brother, appreciate your support. I’ve been to ringos grave many years ago. Going to hit the Chiricahuas again when it cools down!

[@NelgSelbor]

great video bro and finally an honest review on an overland channel. You and your buddys do it right, it's a breath of fresh air just seeing real people. SHAMROCK SPONSOR THIS MAN!

[@Whitedogoverland]

We try to keep it real and show the true reality of most of us normal folk haha. Appreciate the support!

[@basebalful]

The old stomping grounds. The roads look a lot smoother now then they use to. Your story telling and homework that you have put together has defiantly progressed over time with your trips. That is some of my favorite land in the whole SW. I had some really great times with your grandpa in those hills on our hunting trips. Those were definitely some of the good old days. Great job as always son. Love you! Your Pa...

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s a really special place, I hope one day I can also have my ashes spread out there in those hills. Out of everywhere you mentioned when I was growing up, dragoons were what I most remember, and taking that pig out of there. Love you pops thank you for your support

[@thatoneguyazadventures]

Awesome video! AZ really has so much to offer, even if you're not in a full size 4x4.

[@Whitedogoverland]

A little bit for every shape and size!

[@joannewinters9616]

❤ thank you for being out there thank you for sharing everything you do❤❤❤

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you for watching and the support, I’m happy to do what I do!

[@Jlb-fz7nl]

I love watching your videos man and thank you. It’s my favorite thing to do when relaxing

[@peterrichardson4192]

Very interesting history lesson thanks. The Toyota is still going well. Just been watching Shaun on the story till now. And his new truck . has a drive shaft problem .

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks yeah loving this car. And that is exactly why I steer everyone away from modern Chrysler (stellaris). They have really hit rock bottom, I own a 2015 Cummins and other than a transmission and turbo it’s been a great truck but the new stuff is bottom of the barrel!

[@GirdlerFamilyOverland]

Man, bringing back such good memories of growing up in Southern Arizona. I spent many a night and weekend, camping, hunting and exploring the Dragoons, the Stronghold, and surrounding areas. Great video!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you!

[@SeanStewart88]

That box doesn’t shut all the way but damn it lets people know you overland! Man the southwest is truly an awesome part of the country. I was born and raised in Scotland now live in the pnw of the United States but I have been down to Arizona a few times and just love the desert.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Haha right. The desert rocks, no pun intended. Love it out here. I do want to come north your way!

[@mammothwagon]

One of your best vids yet!!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you sir!!

[@SJ-EOR]

I’m a HUGE fan of this new rig and your old RAV4. My business had an old rav4 years ago and I loved it so much I might just get one in the future. There are far more people who have small suv & crossovers than have full size rigs. I always look forward to seeing your new videos. I drive a full-size SUV & jeep. Millers Valley in Prescott was named after my 3 or 4th great Grandfather.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for you support as always, and I’m glad you’re on board with the rav! They are killer cars, I’ve actually looked at a few prospects out near Miller valley, neat history you have there!

[@chelseaallman1379]

Really love your channel. I’m also loving the new RAV4. I use an ‘18 forester and people love to give me crap for not having a try 4x4. But the fuel economy is great, it’s great on and off road, and fits my gear and family. Nothing more is needed. Stay safe, thanks for the great content.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Appreciate it thank you, yeah I could careless if it’s not a true 4wd it’s also funny to impress people on trails they doubt it can handle I’ve mad a lot of my friends start to come on to the idea of it

[@johnsebastianbach]

Thanks for the video

[@Gh_cle]

Crazy quality and history. You’ve made me want to get out there and try to overland with my Corolla. I’m 19 in college, got to do what I can with what I have. Saw the og rav4 and then saw u got this one, thinking about getting an adventure trim over a Tacoma in the future as a daily and light off-roader with good gas mileage.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks brother I appreciate that a lot. A rav is much more suiting if you mostly do softroading. You won’t regret it.

[@Gh_cle]

@@Whitedogoverland Gotcha man. From what I’ve seen I’m taking your word for it. Keep up the adventures, watching them where none of this cool land exists is extremely refreshing

[@adadddsssddd]

Awesome video! Great history!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks brother man!

[@TimmyCramer]

Another kickass episode. I see you being a KZbin star! Heading to San Diego soon to beachside camping..... Phoenix is a tad warm. Stay cool! Timmy C Arizona

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks brother man!

[@rampagearms6669]

Jonny and his burrito preparation is very consistent 🤣

[@Whitedogoverland]

A burrito and two bottoms of water was all the man brought

[@Vladviking]

LOL, I took a rental car over Middlemarch pass last time I was in the area. Wondered if I'd make it or have to turn around, but I did. Got more comfortable as I got out on the flats toward Pierce for sure. Spent most of my time and young life on the Sulpher Springs side. We would wander about looking around mines, for pretty rocks, arrowheads, and gather acorns to eat. Although a small acorn you could eat them raw as they did not have the bitter tannins other acorns had. Went there with a Christmas tree permit once, damn hard to find a good tree though. Thanks again for the memories.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Glad I can bring back some good memories. My family spent a lot of time out there as well. I try to make it a point to visit there once a year

[@Bizill75]

LOL. Visions come to mind of "Anchorman, the Legend of Ron Burgundy" and the part where he was suffering from the heat drinking milk and proclaiming, "it's so damn hot... milk was a bad choice." 🤣🤣

[@Whitedogoverland]

Hahah didn’t even come to mind but I remember that scene although I’ll take a half gallon of c milk on any hot day

[@Bizill75]

No doubt. Agreed.

[@lucacadianalbert]

I love your style..great story telling, up front and honest, use your shit and it's not about the latest and greatest .nothing wrong with the Rav4 if it gets you to your destination(s). I also camp with a small OzTent Bunker pro and they are awesome!!

[@Whitedogoverland]

I try to show the reality of the common man, so I’m glad you can resonate with it. Appreciate the support!

[@kevinriese2167]

Thanks for a great video and history tutorial. Hope to make the trip to the China pass next fall. Regarding your Rav, people can be a little judgmental. If it work for you, go for it…I would be happy with 27 mpg while seeing the world. Too many are caught up on all the gadgets they think will make life better on the trail. Work with in your budget and make sure you have the essential equipment to be safe. Cheers!

[@krashnpa]

I promise I wasn't throwing shade at the Rad4 last time! Great video man!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Ah man I don’t think it was your comment haha, I do appreciate that super a lot my man thank you

[@tommy-guns478]

Love the History you do along with some awesome views. I don't care what you drive. Just better never see you in a side by side LOL. keep up the good work

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you sir!!

[@WolfOverland]

lol please shamrock!!!!! support this guy 100%

[@AngelCastro-yq1kb]

You have a deep connection with the Apache land and Coshise stronghold for many reasons. Is not a coincidence that your grandfather was born in the same town that Tom Jeffords was born. Nice music!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you for those words, and for watching!

[@Sledgehammer32]

Another great video and a big hell yeah on a chocolate milk sponsor

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks brother!!

[@joandonnelly7206]

Pretty country, I like huge boulders in a landscape!!!

[@p_a_rivers_projects]

Tbh the Rav4’s are slept on. I’ve kept up with jeeps, 4runners and lifted F250’s 😅 granted i was sh!tting myself at some points but it’s doable

[@tommy-guns478]

I have the ONXHUNT planning on the Off road as well but I wish you could combine them. Need the off road for trails to get to the hunt areas but also need the property ownership and hunt unit boundaries together be nice to over lay them. I put in for AZ deer should know soon.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I hear that a lot, it would be really nice especially if you pay for both. They did update the premium to show boundaries lines for private property and ownership recently

[@Jlb-fz7nl]

We just bought a front wheel drive Rav 4 and now I wish we got the AWD model

[@GamingHouseCinema]

You’re going to make Swag Tent camping the next big thing… Good bye RTTs, good bye Camper Shells 😂 Good stuff Cody!

[@Whitedogoverland]

But then they will get even more expensive… lol thank you brother

[@SolutreanSpear]

The rav4 is super cool and has really opened my eyes to the downsides of giant gas guzzling truck off roading.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Obviously me too, not really necessary for most trips. I love spending $40 a trip rather than $200

[@pizaliasta8369]

Well, you had me until you put all that mayo on the sandwich... Joking aside I am glad I found your channel. I've explored the Chiricahuas a couple times and the Dragoons very limited. I have a two week Jeep camping trip out that way next March driving all the way from FL so this has already given me some ideas. Thank you for the time you are putting in.

[@Whitedogoverland]

That’s a hell of a road trip, but this state is worth it. Appreciate the sub and support!

[@Coloradohighcountrywheelin]

You're realistic with today's fuel economy and balanced with life's obstacles. I always love your content dude. Have you considered doing filming in Colorado or Moab. You know Arizona to a t, Just curious if you've ever wanted to explore those territories and film it?

[@Whitedogoverland]

Oh yeah! Looking to get up to CO in late august and run the rim rocker trail in Moab late fall! Love both areas, actually haven’t been to Moab just trying to balance out life and a week worth of trips can be challenging!

[@Coloradohighcountrywheelin]

@@Whitedogoverland both in one shot, Nice bro 👍. Rimrockers on my bucket list too. Badass how you could take Colorado off-road trails all the way to Moab pretty much. I hear you dude, dirt trails are how I find my center and balance. Keep up the awesome content🤟

[@sirteaofbagz6605]

Nice to see the same justification for you switching vehicles. Went from a wrangler to Crosstrek Wilderness for the exact same reasons.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Sometimes it’s just a better option. I still have the tundra when I need a true 4wd but mostly content with the rav for solo runs. I think a lot of people overestimate the average excursions difficulty.

[@sirteaofbagz6605]

@@Whitedogoverland completely agree. I grew up in the valley and was always told gotta have 4x4 to go explore. Had an old ram and then the wrangler and a lot of times never even engaged 4x4 for what we were doing out at like Butcher Jones and that 4 peaks

[@user-naturegirl]

We really enjoyed the video and are new to the Cochise County area (boyfriend stationed at Fort Huachuca) am interested in the $7 a month membership how do we go about getting it? PS: Your dog is beautiful is the dog a Great Pyrenes?😊

[@Whitedogoverland]

Hey thanks! If you download patreon on your phone you can look me up and sub! And yes, the white dog is a Pyrenees!

[@rickyt11010]

What are you doing for your lower bumper delete? I have a trip to the NJ pine barrens coming up and I wanna squeeze a little more clearance in front of the tires on my Rav. I'm mainly worried about the washer reservoir though. Our bumpers a different but I know the lower cover is almost the same if not the same.

[@Whitedogoverland]

The washer reservoir only sticks out from under the plastic shroud a small amount, I made two supports off the bumper support and bent a piece of aluminum as a skid. I’ll do a video on the rav soon

[@patrickresch5325]

I love your RAV4. Don't listen to the naysayers. I would like updates on how the RAV is doing on your trips. It's encouraging to see the capabilities of your rig as a fellow RAV owner.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I could care less! Just had to state the fact that I’m just doing this to provide info. Love this car no one could steer me in any other direction!

[@bherrera5150]

1914? I thought Arizona was a recognized state in 1920. Great content keep it up. So is the Tundra coming back or are we staying with the Rav?

[@Whitedogoverland]

It was actually February 14th 1912, I screwed up the dates… the tundra will be out on the next trip. Just digging this car a lot!

[@rickyt11010]

Love my Rav and I know some people look down on it but who cares. Oh no I don't have lockers and low gear! What ever will I do in the soft rolling mountains in Pennsylvania where the worst trails are in off road parks! Can't wait to see a walk around video of yours see what you have done to make it a little more capable.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Yeah they kick ass for 90% of the time! Tundra when I need it but the crossovers are underrated in overland

[@rickyt11010]

@Whitedogoverland My wife and I want to take an overlanding trip out to Arizona in the next year or two, and I am really looking forward to seeing what my Rav can do out there.

[@bobnelson9468]

Greetings from Benson. Saw your T-shirt, Kimes Ranch and looked it up. Too bad it turns out TSC is run by an idiot that does not think his customers are the most important thing. Genius lost $2B in a week. Thanks for your pro quality videos! and all the research you do!
