Overlanding Utah trails and then... BOOM! [S6E26]

Here's this week's adventure featuring the @overlanddad family in part 2 of our Utah explorations where we finally get a decent rest courtesy of Abigail, explore some even bigger caves with a few flying furry friends, have an unexpected but all too familiar explosion in the back seat (not what you think), and wind up at one of our favorite camps in Utah for even more drama with some spectacular views.

If you tint your windows, even with a clear tint, if your glass breaks, it won't shatter into a million pieces and fall everywhere. The tint will help hold it together.

[@jeffmiller7277]

If you put the tink on the outside, it will help with breakage in the first place

[@markstambaugh3273]

Caroline acted quickly and wisely. We probably need to rehearse various disaster scenarios so we can do the same if need be.

[@mtnessler]

Can't wait to see the new trailer all decked out! Stay safe out there!

[@LifestyleOverland]

So stoked to show you what's next!

[@anthonymissirlis3710]

love the content , looking forward for the new trailer . i tint all my windows ( even the windshield * clear tint*) for an obvious reason ( Texas Sun !) and for situation like you had . can't tell if yours are tinted or not tbh . anyway glad everyone was okay after that , i'm sure it was scary for a minute

[@espnmk]

Thanks for Sharing just can never get enough of Utah it's just so Wildly Beautiful.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks!

[@bobcooper1055]

You're so correct.. use what you have.. just go.. don't wait.. you'll never get that time back.. Enjoy

You have the worst luck with windows. Time to go full tactical glass. LOL.

[@LifestyleOverland]

As soon as I do that... We'll need to get OUT of one 🤣

I’m a native born Utahan? I was born during WW2 in Provo Utah. Thank you for your videos. At 80 yrs old, they bring back my youth hiking and camping throughout Utah with the scouts. THANKS AGAIN. JOHN FIFIELD

[@bajasoobnut]

The "camping" of camping spots has been happening over outside of Bend, OR for a few years now, with people parking their campers and whatnot out on BLM or National Forest land and just leaving them there to use them on weekends and such. Both the Forest Service and BLM are now enforcing the 14 day law here.

[@BrantleySmithNC]

Y'all pulled out all the good music for this one! Awesome episode as always. Thank you.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Awesome shared adventure ... beautiful scenery and cave adventures ..... Bummer on the shattered window ,, sometimes a freak edged stone can do this ,,, but it shows this was NOT safety glass ,but, tempered glass ... Safety glass has a membrane between two layers of formed glass ,, was used in vehicles of the past but seems to have gone by the wayside with some thinking a million glass fragments was safer .. I don't agree ... for vehicles anyway .. I would check with your glass company to use and find out about it ... ... Pretty awesome where gear and components have evolved ,, pretty much into the "Glamping" world ,, but that's OK ,, so much easier and more organized .. No longer Dads 'ol hunting camp anymore ... .. Love to see the family adventures ,, these kids will remember those caves with active bats forever ...

[@ratnadipmajumdar8230]

Nice 👍 video feel homely atmosphere while watching you all 💗 have a very happy days ahead be safe and God bless you 🤗.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.. Used to use a small RV for work and play and run into even prepaid park sites that some pay months ahead just to lock up a site for a "maybe" use trip ... very aggravating when you roll into a park or RV site that is half full but signs lit up as "No Vacancy" .. and don't require a confirmation call prior to use ...or not ..

[@mauricegagnon4654]

Hi guy's love your show and adventures, thanks for sharing! I do have a question, who makes and where can you get the foldable kitchen table?

[@Wanderer_XJ]

When you said “explosion in the back seat”, I immediately thought you were talking about a baby blowout. 💩

[@jeffreyriedenauer9052]

Judging by the Aspens I believe this video was filmed well before it came out??? In the fall in the area your in there are a lot of rancher that have to get cattle off the mountain before the cold sets in. Also local hunters will leave a camp on the weekends, come off the hill and work during the week. They will move a couple times, but it’s common to see a abandoned site as well as trailers, boats and OHVs in that area.

[@davidst67]

Sasquatch tossed a rock at your vehicle, no not really! 😢 I don’t think

[@LifestyleOverland]

That seems to be just as plausible! 🤣

Everyone who re-creates on public lands needs to listen to snail trail 4x4 on the road closer in moab, the number one group affected by these closures are overlanders and dispersed campers, it is not rock crawlers and sxs

[@michaelgallagher8974]

Who makes the grey cordura bags that I assume are for kitchen gear that you pulled out of the trailer at the beginning of the video?

[@Jesus-eg3yb]

Awesome video, and you got to get your friends truck back on another video. He had a very nice set up.

[@e.c.8668]

great videography...and now a cute baby, too. How can anyone not watch?!

[@sonnicman]

Love the G.A.R.B Trash Bag. Made by my friend Virgil at @NorthBound Expeditions across the border in Canada 🇨🇦. Not your average trash bag. This thing was thought out and tough as nails.

[@LifestyleOverland]

We've tested quite a few and this one is by far, one of the best. 🙌

[@davidorvinhnno3184]

Thank you for all your gR8 videos , I really enjoyed..!!

[@vinke3177]

I found the lava tubes, but where is the campground that you stayed at?

[@titaniumgear690]

I like the CarolineCam. I hope she has her own 4K gear to independently offer her own perspective and artistic creativity...

[@mphRagnarok]

Please don't. Don't dilute solid overlanding with gimmicks. Nobody asked for that.

[@sonnicman]

Very glad to see that Abigail was ok regarding the window mishap. Gotta say that is the first time I have EVER seen a side window blow out like that. Rear and front, YES, but NEVER the side. Might just have to give you the honorary call sign of SHARD.

[@LifestyleOverland]

It was wild! So crazy... I like the handle, lol

Another great video ! Do you have a link for the wooden topped table that folds in half ? Cool design.

[@LifestyleOverland]

It's by King camp on Amazon but I don't recommend it because the hardware got really sloppy, really fast. It's a finger pincher!

[@tfcooks]

The kids are quite the spelunkers. 😁

[@markhoffman2165]

What is the name of the cave you entered with the bats?

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

Love your content and family. We have always camped in a ground tent. We also used a awning tent for just the two of us. We actually prefer the ground tent as we can leave it set up with our gear and make side trips without needing to take everything down. We just purchased a small Intec Sol Horizon trailer for our longer travels. It isn't an adventure trailer, but it has 28" off road tires and 15" of ground clearance so we should be able to go fairly off-road. We can drop it and take the 4Runner on any harder trails when we want. Heading to Utah this summer to try it out.

[@maricelarooper9558]

How do those trash bags work. Like do they stay on your wheel. What about bears?

[@LifestyleOverland]

The mounting straps are separate so you can quickly slip it off and put it in a vehicle for the night 👍

[@stout_tossme7541]

A few short hours north is Craters of the Moon in the Idaho wilderness. Yall should head up that way. There is a few interesting places along the way (EBR-1 just outside Arco)

[@jimForgottenHinterland]

I just have to wonder if it was a stray bullet that hit the window. That safety glass can usually take a rather solid hit before it will shatter. Glad no one was hurt. A few years ago, my brother and his wife were on a freeway in Atlanta when the passenger window in the truck suddenly shattered. Glass went all over his wife. Fortunately, no serious injury. I am glad to see that Caroline is starting to drive. I did the same with my son years ago. His first driving experience was when he was about 12 and I let him drive from Saratoga Springs in Death Valley, up the Harry Wade Road and then the West Side Road. That was about 70 miles of driving for him. He did really well. He is finishing up his senior year in high school and has already enlisted into the Marine Corp. My son's first camping trip was at Kintla Lake when he was two months old. How fast they grow and then they are gone to live their own lives.

[@joshwood9624]

Another great episode, so glad the glass steered clear of Abigail! That oven looks nice and bigger than the Coleman, how do you like it? Thank you for the always quality content!

[@joseexpeditocolaresfilho9908]

País : BRASIL 🇧🇷 Hello

[@jackwalsh1468]

Kevin, if you don't have any window tinting.. Would you consider getting some sort of polymer lament applied to the window interiors. This would inhibit any glass shattering and fragmenting. The one provision, is that the lament must cover the complete glass surface. That means all the way to the edge of the glass Just sayin. Cheers, Mate.

[@pnwusa]

soooo.... stoked abigail didn't get hurt! great repair job too! and yeah! camping is a lot of hard work. especially the loading and unloading regardless of the rig! and it's all well worth all the epic experiences! continued travel mercies and blessings. 🕊

[@gomez_4runner]

that guy looks so much like @tj hunt 😂

[@Sarah-ok1wp]

Bad luck on the window. I carry a piece of clear plastic like that used in tent or soft top windows. That way you can keep the view which if it had been a front one is essential. Takes no space and cheap to buy.

[@darrengray2309]

Do you still have the Landcruiser Troopy and if so do you have any trips planned for it.

[@alexorcas1]

I bet that rock came from the trailer tire while you were turning a corner to the left.

[@LifestyleOverland]

It was a right hand bend at 30mph when it happened. I wasn't filming at the time, sadly. Such a head scratcher!

[@Zakary79081]

Some 3M SCOTCH Guard window film solved the window breaking for me. It makes it so you can hit the window with a tire iron and it won't break. It's also good as a theft deterrent.

[@LifestyleOverland]

The big problem with that for us is we're more likely to need to get out in a rollover...

[@Zakary79081]

@@LifestyleOverland it's not sandwiched polycarbonate. You can break the window from the inside by using a glass breaker and cutting the film with a razor blade. It really only reinforces from the outside in. You can punch the window out like any other. The broken glass will just stay together a little better.

[@LifestyleOverland]

I hear ya. I'm just torn because I want the girls to be able to get out if us adults are pinned (worst case thinking) without having to break through a barrier. Maybe over thinking it but I'm getting good at these glass replacements so it's not too much trouble 🤣

@lifestyleoverland what brand of oven did you use in the video? I tried to find it in your gear store. Looks sturdier than the one we have.

[@LifestyleOverland]

amzn.to/3SCkXTD It's a huge upgrade from our old Coleman. Love the window too.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Yes !,, I highly recommend this Winnerwell oven ,, I have one for use on my woodstove in a hot tent ,, it works great .. where an oven is needed ..

Just another ordinarily EPIC adventure 👍

[@LifestyleOverland]

Glad you were riding along!

[@davidk6668]

I had a side window on minivan shatter from a rock thrown up by the minivan going down a paved road. Over the years I have heard other rocks hitting side windows on various vehicles and roads.

[@LifestyleOverland]

The physics involved to hit a window from that trajectory are mind boggling.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

@@LifestyleOverland ... might have been "body flex" at the door corner edge ,, or maybe some imperfect track at the top corner .. pressure on a screw head or ?? could cause enough pressure to "pop" tempered glass ..

[@tattiebogle]

As someone that works with glass in my line of work as an architect - what you experienced is a spontaneous breakage due to a nickel sulphide inclusion. It's a flaw in the tempered glass and is something that can happen to any tempered glass. Your close up shot of the window shows the telltale butterfly shape that is produced by this type of breakage. Search Google for "nickel sulphide butterfly" and you'll see what I mean and you can read all about it. I'm glad that tempered glass held in place until you could remove it safely. @@LifestyleOverland

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for that info! 👍
