OVERLANDING ... in a VW Bus That was made in 1958!

VOA presents an adventure of epic proportions. Nah, not really. This overland trip is a light three-day outing. I took an old VW bus for a run in the Mojave Desert, enjoyed the breathtaking views, and participated in some amazing hikes. I even brewed some Coffee using a percolator coffee pot; the coffee was delicious.
Enjoy the video, Larry
#solo #camping #overlanding #vintageoverlandadventures
The only challenges included getting stuck in deep sand and fixing oil leaks from some oil lines. I miss these outings, and after feeling unwell, getting back out to do what I love is a true blessing. I’m grateful to God for this experience and sincerely hope he grants me another adventure soon.

Friend, I still don't know how to speak English and I don't understand much of what you say in your videos. But a VW Bus and a free life are enough to keep me hooked on your videos. A hug from Brazil❤🎉

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thank you, My Friend from Brazil! It's always wonderful to have viewers from all over the world! I'm working on the CC for you.

[@rcamargo82]

I always watch your videos, today I had the courage to write... I'm very discouraged with my projects and with life. Watching today I decided that I'm going to fix my bus! Thanks for the encouragement! A hug from Brazil 👊

That's fantastic! That bus is going to take you places. 🚐

Go ahead, Rodrigo! As Larry said, there are plenty of places still waiting for your sigh. No matter how old-or young-you are, it’s never too late or too soon. I hope you capture those experiences on tape to share your personal impression of the world with us.

Out the door this morning Tim! I should have a members only video early next week! I’m editing it right now. 😉

[@mikebohling2280]

This the second video I've seen. As I was watching the memories came flooding back, it kinda surprised me. I might have camped in the same spot lol. I've seen some amazing things in that desert ! I can relate to digging a bus out of the sand well done lolol. I always carried a come along. I had to subscribe!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Glad you're enjoying the trip! 🤙 And the digging out of the sand part. See you on the next one!

Thank you very much! Watching this video from Turkey, now that is great my brother!

[@TheEriccurtis]

I love it Dude! No fancy equipment, just an old Coleman camp stove, old nylon strap lawn chair and your just having the time of your life in a overland rig most people would never have thought, bravo old man, and that’s coming from an old man .

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

LOL, I hear you, by using old crap, Coffee is Coffee, $12. Stove and $3. Coffee pot, with a $8. Dollar bag of Starbucks Grinds, I’m in my happy spot. 😊 I had to repair the chair a couple times, but it’s repairable. 🤙 See ya on the next one!

[@stephenmiller5023]

Over 45 years ago now while I was a senior in high school in 1978 my Buddy Lloyd & I and a few others would all pile into his 1954 VW Double walk through door bus and take off into the wilds of the Baja peninsula in search of epic surf spots and just camp wherever the day’s journey & waves took us . Now at almost 65 in my life I still feel the need to get out in areas of little to no others and just chill . Not in an Old VW anymore, but in a 22 year old GMC Sierra diesel powered 4x4 I’ve made into my personal overland rig . Still doing what you do in that old rig of yours takes serious Balls my brotha!! Stay safe out there & who knows , you & I may cross paths somewhere, sometime & share a camp fire & some tall tales . Cool rig ,& THANKS for a trip down memory lane here . C-ya . 😎👍

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Great Story, can't wait for the Camp Fire my friend!

I've been out of VWs for 20 years, but I know a cool bus when I see one! Sales flap panel with Hurst bumpers! Nice rig my friend. Love it. I had a 1960 SO 23 Westfalia and a 1967 SO 42 Westy. Wish I had them back now!!

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

You know your Westfalias! Thanks, I enjoy my travels in her. 🚐 The flap is a SO 1. But you must likely know that already. 😉🚐

Great to see you back, Larry. Wish I could hang out with you in my '61 bus. I used ti live out there in the '80's. I was stationed at 29 Palms Marine Base. At that time I had a '56 oval that I used to drive all over the hills out there. Miss it SO much. Be safe, buddy!

Enjoyed this very much! I drove a 67 Westy for years on all kinds of climbing and camping adventures, and it took me right back into the driver's seat, and, of course, right back into the engine compartment to figure out what I needed to fix or watch closely. I drive a 97 Mitsubishi Delica L400 now, but I'll always have a soft spot for VDubs! Cheers!

Howdy Larry !! This is your Dremel Brother up in Washington State. Not sure how to say it but I'm ecstatically HAPPY to see you back out there kicking back and listening to the coyotes call !! I've been meaning to ping you through eBay since I've checked regularly for another adventure and it's been too quiet. I've got some health issues also besides just getting older, but we learn how to deal with them so we can chase what we can still enjoy. The classic rig sounds real good, all those modifications and improvements have paid off. Looking forward to these great snap shots in your LIFE. Take care Brother, stay healthy !!

Yo Larry, you have a childlike infectious enthusiasm and wonderment of all things natural, so refreshing in these days of over technification.

Even when you get stuck, you don't panic- you stay chill, like, hey, been there before, everything's gonna be alright. Y'know, traveling around in rigs older than we are, ya can't rush things! Good lesson, Maestro, thanks again for taking us along! Tim

I’ve watched many videos where people have found these VW buses in the most remote places out in the middle of nowhere. Seeing as how you got stuck in the sand. I wonder if similar things that happened to some of them in different places, somebody got stuck and couldn’t get out and just walked away and It just sat there until somebody else found it 25 or 40 years later.

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Yeah, it happens. I found mine ('58 bus) abandoned in the woods while looking for my dog in 2017, it had been out there for close to 45 years from my research, now it's my driver and overlander like Larry's. Epic. Good Karma happens 👍

I recently went to a funeral where they released a bunch of balloons...I was cringing the whole time...but it wasn't the time to say anything.

I found a "Class of 88" up in Big Bear CA a couple years ago. Under tree cover, stuff into a bush.

@ 11:55 you say going to take a hour to put everything away.. brother even if you had company you still do it by yourself and would take 2 hours. enjoy being mentally healthy enough and at peace to be able to camp solo.... btw , get yourself a spare tire and a dog...

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Packing up only took 20 minutes, and Lucky the awning wasn't up. Good Mental Health is a must for any SoLo Adventurist. The spare tire is inside. It's got a warm stop in the back. The inside morning shot you can spot it. As type this I named the tire "Dog", So I'm covered! 🙃😁🤙

I like the "newer" Coleman white gas stove. Surprised you are still using white gas. I converted my 1967 model white gas stove to propane a couple of years ago. So much more reliable. No messing with spillage from white gas. Temperatures are much more consistent. I will never go back to white gas for the stove. Now my lantern, that is a different story...

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

The old stuff is my favorite, white gas! I bring out a couple lanterns sometimes. A Coleman 200 Canadian stays on board. Thanks for watching! 🙂

I really like the journey video - but the food .

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks Hector! I hear you on the food!

Yeah sandy roads would be my main caution. Actually only got stuck once, on a beach in Mexico in our VW, (what to expect?). Our current 2WD Dodge can be a challenge on some sand roads too. The old VW wasn't fast but it had a good heart and motored through some tough places. We met a lot mechanics around the country. That's lichen, on the rock, in the desert.

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Thanks for watching! Lichen, Both the green and purple? BTW Nice to see your still at it after your VW Days.

​@VintageOverlandAdventures yup, the Mojave Green's are known to be some of the most aggressive of all the rattlers, oh boy!

[@larrywiddis470]

No reason a VW bus couldn't run those roads except tire thickness and you have good thick ones.
