Overlanding the edge of a volcano... then we crawled inside. [S6E25]

In this episode we join our friends the @overlandad family in their Toyota Tundra for some Utah exploration. This time around we're "roughing it" with our utility kit and trailer featuring... a ground tent! Our backup Gazelle tent came in clutch this trip as we had to return the loaner trailer while waiting on our own Voyager to be completed. While it was certainly more challenging we enjoyed the different format! During our travels we stumbled upon an ancient volcano, watched the pros and cons of a full-size rig in action, and then explored a lava tube with the kiddos.

Hope you all enjoyed the lack of YT ads on this one. Let me know if we should keep trying it!

[@jamie.andrews]

Keep in mind those of us who have KZbin Premium do not have ads. As a creator myself and a longtime viewer I am not a fan of the breaks in this video. It really messes up the flow. Just my 2 cents. Will watch regardless.

[@LifestyleOverland]

​@@jamie.andrewsHow would you suggest we promote ways to support the channel then?

[@DThomas1976]

I have KZbin premium myself and I don’t consider your breaks as ads or a distraction. Just informative info.

[@jamie.andrews]

@@LifestyleOverland I would suggest maybe a few less or move them to the beginning and end of the videos.

[@felixkimutai3132]

I think its awesome,its not that time consuming,i think its cool..

[@Recovering_Californian]

You (and your wife) need to create an Overland Cookbook. Seriously. Those tacos (and sliders) looked awesome. I bet the cookbook would be a big hit!

[@TheAppalachianSequoia]

This really does need to happen!!

[@DirtRockTeam]

Love the ads for yourselves! Nice touch & please keep it up! It’s nice to see you advocate for yourselves instead a large company who may not care one day later to support you guys

[@ricomacpherson6845]

Some grilled onions and those sliders would be amazing. Yes Abigail is your latest Star ⭐⭐

[@coloradomallcrawlers]

Sean told me you commented on the moab closures… thank you! Being a small channel, we are not able to reach people who care like you can. If people want to learn about the issues behind those closures, I recommend watching CORE’s video on the topic. Also, I’ll look into sharetrails myself, but the legal fight will be done through the blue ribbon coalition. I can assure every creator that gets the word out that these are not problem trails and I have hours and hours of footage showing no trash, no off trail issues, no overcrowding… these trails are an overlander’s paradise!

[@mr_longhorn6000]

I know this isn’t y’all’s first round. It is for my wife and eye. But a video we heard early on that stuck with us….”when you get SUPER frustrated when raising children. When your just DONE. Stop, and think of this. Your 80 years old. And you have this exact moment for 5 minutes and you’ll never get it back again”. Changed my hard moments for sure ❤safe travels friends

[@rckjnkep]

Love the new "your informative ad" format!

[@seanwatson3790]

Kevin thank you for also bringing light to the fight against the trail closures in Moab. Our channel did poison spider this past weekend and we have been advocating for the fight as well. It's critical for those of us with any kind of a voice to keep that beautiful overlanding area from disappearing.

[@stlouisarch2162]

Trails like your winding through the trees trail usually find you in an Epic Campsite.

[@LifestyleOverland]

I think that crater camp spot would have been spectacular. We'll have to go back with a smaller setup one day!

[@charleshicks3492]

Excellent, love your travels ⭐️😎🤩

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thank you so much! We appreciate the encouragement!

[@ADanNeedsAName]

OMG! As a father of 2 the "release her back into the wild" bit had me rolling on the floor! Not a huge fan of the "commercial breaks" as they are in this video. What if you did a "picture in picture" kinda deal instead of completely breaking away from the video? Just an idea, I'm not going to stop watching over it you gotta do what you gotta do. I think y'all are awesome and whenever I geek out talking about overlanding I recommend your channel because I feel like you're doing what I wish I could do. You help me scratch that itch when I can't get out myself. I got to meet Swellrunner at Expo East and somehow missed you and was bummed about it. You are my main inspiration for wanting to get out there and build out my truck, hopefully I'll see you out on the trails sometime. I'll definitely check out your support page to do more.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Haha, when I was editing the video and cut to that next scene I just had to say that with how it was framed and timed! I totally hear you on the breaks. I wish there was a magic bullet for this type of thing. We'll keep trying new things and see what's effective. This constantly changing algorithm is hard to keep up with and support is slipping on many fronts for many reasons. Thanks for the feedback! Sorry we missed you at East! We really appreciate you spreading the word about our adventures!

[@cherylterrien]

We love your family and your videos.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much for watching and riding along with us!

[@margehernandez9902]

Love the rocking chair! What a way to unwind from work week. Thank you

[@LifestyleOverland]

Helinox has some pretty cool accessories! Glad you found it relaxing in spite of the drama, lol!

[@castironbackroads1447]

We love our Gazelle T4+ Overland. Very heavy but easy to set up and spacious. Was Caroline the same way when she was teething? Every child is different and you are correct, it only lasts a little while. It great to see you enjoying your time! I liked the lack of YT ads. If it works for you, we support it! Thank you for the adventure!

[@LifestyleOverland]

I think she was probably just as bad but since it was 10 years ago... we've forgotten! LOL Thanks for the support and feedback!

[@user-tj3yi9zj4m]

Just hit my one year with you on patreon. Love the membership and all the benefits! Look forward to the next year guys. thanks!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Awesome, thanks so much for keeping this going! We'll be contacting you about your anniversary gift soon via email (if we haven't already).

[@randymoffitt6532]

I like your breaks much better keep up the good video's.

[@LifestyleOverland]

We appreciate the feedback!

[@HaugenDustin]

What!! Camp high chair!!! And a rocking chair. Sweet. Would love to hear a review on them. Great show!!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Great idea! We need to do a chairs video one day! Thanks for watching!

[@felixkimutai3132]

Beautiful...always amazing...❤

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

Very beautiful area, nice to see some of the older equipment being used from past episodes. Looking forward to the new episodes with your new trailer. Thanks for sharing.

[@LifestyleOverland]

We do enjoy a utility style setup from time to time... it's just hard to film with a baby, lol! Also looking forward to showing you the new trailer!

[@markwolf8804]

Love the format! I'd rather see your commercials than what would normally come out. You guys are awesome parents!! Little Abigail really puts you two to the test! Love her dearly, but if she would only sleep you'd love her more! Teeth coming in (or out for that matter) hurts. Thanks for sharing your adventures! Have you thought about a Sequoia? Those ones at SEMA I bet are pretty awesome looking. Toyotas have such a following so there are lots of modifications possible with them. My wife loves her Rav4.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Glad you enjoyed that! I appreciate the feedback too. Just hope KZbin doesn't spank me too hard for not pushing their own ads, lol. Sequoia is on the list too but we're still shopping. I think we might make a video to share our thought process on the final choice and what led us there. Could be interesting. Abigail is an angel but shew... testing our patience for sure! Holding on hard to those good moments to carry us through the sleepless nights!

[@IsaacRodriguez89]

We love watching the cooking segments, great episode!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Glad you like them!

[@erichughes9098]

Thank you Kevin for the video. They seem to be some sort of loud screeching metal on metal noise at the beginning of the video. Oh I’m sorry that was your daughter. 😎👍

[@offroadxplorer]

Thanks for no ads! Looking forward to seeing the new trailer, looks like the roof top tent is loft style!

[@kevinpatterson298]

Have you tried sitting Little Abagail (spelling?) down and explaining how important sleep is to everyone. 😂 including her. Maybe she just doesn’t know. 🥴 Another great adventure guys!!!!👍

[@LifestyleOverland]

Multiple times... lol! Thanks for riding along and sitting up with us! LOL

[@barnetts9812]

Best burger recipe I've seen 😊

[@LifestyleOverland]

It was incredible! Kudos to mamabear on that flip too

[@SoloHiker1]

Great video, Mahalo for sharing.

[@jakemaughan3818]

Been watching for years. You guys are what got our family started in overlanding. I think I would prefer one longer add than multiple breaks. Multiple takes the viewer out of it while one is understandable.

[@carrieknight9239]

I’d like to see a camping cookbook too!

[@LifestyleOverland]

We've dreamed of doing one for quite some time. Just wish we had more margin to pursue it!

[@espnmk]

Guys Thanks for Sharing, I swear i'm gonna start road tripping this spectacular sites you guys visit just to have the to see if i catch up with and wonder in while dinner is being served up, and maybe just maybe bumb a plate...

[@simonbroddle754]

The rig has a potential for one bedroom in the new trailer, a tent above it. An iKamper on the truck roof to sleep six in total! I'd seriously consider how much more you need. Lose the leisure batteries out the car, use the Redarc to the best in the trailer and keep a smaller car fridge in the vehicle and you'd nearly be sorted. You could even keep the compressor on the car and put a tank on the trailer and connect with commercial suzies. (just my opinion of course)!

[@DGFick]

Dinner looks delicious!

[@DThomas1976]

Release back into the wild.. lol that was hilarious.. 😂

[@AubreyAbarquez-nw1pi]

what an awesome video!!!

[@black_widow_overland]

Love my Gazelle t4 tent. I'll never sale it. I do have a Harker Outdoors edc topper for my Gladiator. But.. keep the T4 for base camp setups. Winter T4 camping coming soon 🙏

[@dennymedeiros4504]

My pharmacist used to make a teething solution make with a little honey and whiskey. It worked well. Those kids are now in their late 40s and mid 50s with no alcohol issues.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Those were the days!

[@kentonbates8131]

Nice video. Those tacos at the end sure locked tasty.

[@tinaduntley9175]

Great episode!

[@SasukeUchiha-zu6dw]

F250 tremor in the future? Maybe with FWC camper

[@LifestyleOverland]

I doubt we'll get that big...

[@SasukeUchiha-zu6dw]

@@LifestyleOverland maybe F-150 then would work, just have to make sure to get the payload package, the flat rear floor is really handy

[@TheOffroadCamper]

Kevin, you do know that all the Sasquatch live in those caves, and they use that labyrinth of underground tunnels to get around out being seen.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Must be what I saw scurrying away...

[@colbycapps508]

Beautiful area of Utah, love it! Maybe for your ad you could do a fade to black beforehand to be a little less of a surprise. I see a lot of people do these style of ads just before the intro, and just another before the outro. On those channels, it's become predictable and expected which also makes it less disruptive. Just some thoughts!

[@sozekeysersoze]

I agree!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for the input. Sadly, people jump away on the early placements and leave as soon as the video is winding down. We'll keep experimenting though!

[@lowe-landeroutdoors0407]

Heading to Moab this weekend to explore and film some of those trails set to be closed . It's a big loss for sure

[@LifestyleOverland]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy them and I hope the legal challenge overturns their crazy decision.

[@Cincinnati-Outlaws]

Sequoia TRD pro! And even if ads are present, I don’t mind the transition periods to the next “chapter” of the video

I hope you do not mind if I steal your slider idea. They look great.

[@duncanblack8750]

How do you keep that white interior in the Tundra so clean?

[@kellstat]

You guys have some sweet videos, cool footage, and the rigs and all the bit of kit are nice balance, maybe a little cramped, but sounds like you need a 200, seems that would fit the bill? And the difference from a gx/4runner/sequoia/even a 100, is pretty Huge. Maybe the new GX Prado, not sure interior difference. I been thinking of doing the same to my rtt through the sunroof. Got to be committed for that mod. How do you like your mountaineer stove?

[@LifestyleOverland]

We really appreciate the kind words. Thanks for riding along! We agree on the the 200 option as well; we're still undecided but lots of solid options to pick from. The mountaineer stove is one of our favorites from over the years. It's just a tad bit big so a commitment to carry.

[@kellstat]

@@LifestyleOverland agreed, a bit big, they should do a slimline mountaineer! All I can say about the 200, you will never regret that purchase! Keep up the good life!

[@NarleyAdventures]

👍👍👍👍👍😀

[@247365Jake]

Have you given any thoughts on merchandise with 4Runner or GX photos tied to your logo or channel somehow? I thought I saw a t-shirt on an older video tag but can’t find it now.

[@sunilii112]

Hey bro do we need to buy Overlander trucks or we can rent a overlander truck???❤❤❤

[@troysmith8420]

You ever think you’ll overland the east coast?

[@LifestyleOverland]

We've done some travels there in season 4. Sadly, there aren't as many options as there are out west.

[@TrevorDGanz]

@@LifestyleOverland I’m moving from Co to Fl and might have to sell my Tacoma for that exact reason. Pretty bummed but I might see about beach camping before I do

[@NorthernCoveCreations]

Avoid Tylenol. Awesome channel 👍

Perhaps a low dose/mg/kg of body weight Diphenhydramine would assist Abagail to sleep. Check with your Pediatrician for Medical advice. Cheers, Mate.

[@sewallm60]

Yeah well you in your ads are way more tolerable at least I will know who gets to benefit so maybe once in awhile show what your peddling

[@mrkakeg1]

As far as the ads go, yours was not as annoying as some but I pay for KZbin premium specifically to avoid ads. So I'm not a fan. Sorry.

[@LifestyleOverland]

How would you suggest we promote ways to support the channel then?

[@zachlewis7373]

Same issue but I understand that you have to please the majority! Maybe less frequent ads but for a longer duration so that it doesn't take away from the story you're telling?

[@gavincregan7892]

​​@@LifestyleOverlandOnlyfans? Sasquatch edition. Out of curiosity do creators get any compensation from KZbin premium members?
