Road Trip to the Tallest Trees on Earth

Visiting the world’s tallest trees in a DIY truck camper! California is home to both the tallest and biggest trees on planet Earth. However, the “tallest” and “biggest” trees are in two different places! The “biggest” trees by volume are found in Sequoia National Park, whereas the “tallest” trees by height are found here in Redwoods National Park. Super cliche to say this (I know) but wow. I was not expecting these trees to be this big! It’s impossible to fully convey the significance of these beautiful monsters on camera. Their presence is massive.

When you said something about a shooting star you seen at the corner of your eye when you looked at the camera another one went behind your head rewind and watch it

[@tammyr2966]

I saw that too! So cool!

[@alexalvarez9462]

As usual man , I so look forward to seeing your content each week. Great job as always. Keep pushing your content man, live it!!

Woah! Thank you for pointing that out! I didn’t even notice until rewatching it! 😄

[@SalvagetoScenic]

Thank you so much for coming along for the ride 🤟

[@danielhughes9556]

People can say what they want, but California is super awesome. Snow to beach in around 3 hours. gold. Redwoods. 420. I absolutely love living in nor cal. I'm an hour from the coast, and 2 from the mountains. Enjoy this place while you can.

[@user-rn4tt9gw2p]

It’s beautiful especially Redding ca and up…that’s the real reason they hate California

[@strawberryluffy9889]

I was born and raised in California, but moved to Tennessee for college. Some of the attitudes from people here regarding California is the funniest thing ever! Majority of them have never been to Cali, much less out of TN!

[@danielhughes9556]

[@Wandering_whatsnext]

Your genuine joy and enthusiasm is infectious.

[@arvinsepehr9450]

Incredible. Thanks for all the effort you put into making these. I’m sure there’s a tension between enjoying these places and capturing the enjoyment. We all benefit from your insistence on capturing.

[@JayOverlands]

A few years ago, my buddy Bob took me out there. Among other spots, he passed away a few months after our trip. Fern canyon was truly magical and holds a special place in my heart and will always remind me of good old Bob. Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories. Rip Robert Bob Jones

[@aliazimi6066]

I’m so blessed to call California home. It truly is an incredible place.

[@mikejurnak4253]

It's incredible but your Government officials are not.

[@nitaell]

Dude, I love your genuine excitement over elk! Over the giant redwoods!!! 🫶🫶🫶

[@user-pu6il4cw7u]

Best part of my day is watching all your adventures! You should do a video of what you need to start out truck camping like wiring and all !

[@kcann3808]

I've been watching your videos for a few months.. living near Boston currently so its dope to see you literally following my dream and driving across the country. mad props man, this is one of the top spots on my bucket list!!! keep it up! xx

[@tammyr2966]

Absolutely love the Redwoods! We lived in Brookings, Oregon and explored the Smith River and The Redwoods many times over the years growing up there while my dad commercial fished! Just beautiful and you captured it so well!

[@am7442]

The footage you capture is amazing. Love watching your road trip.

[@donnaj.1634]

You have the most beautiful videos! Thank you for sharing your journey 😊

[@lns5028]

Nice man. It was fun to go with you. The wild of the redwoods takes the cake so gorgeous. I ive in norcal myself. I cant wait to go on a mission such as yours. What a life my friend. It’s awesome to see you enjoying it with respect. 👍🙏🙏

[@_MrOcean]

Thanks for sharing these experiences with us ❤

[@hueyang9600]

Bro, i saw you driving through my hometown Redding. There is tons to explore when you are back around here again! Be safe and I’ve been following along since the junkyard! Keep up the wonderful contents!

[@user-to1to7ck8v]

This is so cool that you went here! I just posted a message a few episodes back and told you that you really need to go here. It's magical and my absolute favorite place I've ever camped ❤ it's been year's since I've been there so I'm real excited to see this video 😊

[@Eymos_Shenanigans]

Wow.!! I’m so stocked you made it there.!! 🙌🏽👌🏼⛰️it’s such a much needed visual ecstasy. Awesomeness bro.!! 🤙🏼

[@renatoilsonhunninghausencl5879]

Yup... Nature is king!!! Keep sending more videos...

[@keysonthego3663]

Just bumped into your channel, enjoyed it. The Redwoods Nat Park is in my bucket list. Thanks sir. Take care out there.

[@schmiad13]

Absolutely amazing dude. Keep on inspiring.

[@KaiExploresLife]

Wow! I felt that whole adventure! Massive trees! Gorgeous water! Tense drive! 😂 thank you for sharing this!!!😊

[@Aliensanonymous_]

amazing views! love your appreciation and wonder for the outdoors

[@perk423]

Wow that’s actually awesome, not just the trip but also all that nature.

[@SunKing333]

I randomly came across your channel, amongst watching other travelers. Northern California is wonderful; I’m from central and we’ve been up in Shasta / trinity a few times, it’s amazing.

[@Clymers1984]

Loved this!!

[@janmejaymahakud324]

This is perfect place for enjoy...

[@roamingsoulyoga]

Fern Canyon! One of the magical places I've ever been to. They filmed part ofJurassic Park there. Glad you made it there. There's a great campground near the Smith River off of the main highway, landside. I think it's a state park site. Great little sites with a creek leading out to a private beach area and a hike going toward mountainside.

[@ComfortQube]

Crazy camera shots, I love it.

[@jjlpinct]

Supertramp?! Always impressed with your musical taste!

[@kenfelsher8100]

Awesome places and yes the right vehicle for it

[@ernestgephardt6135]

9:37 I saw a shooting star too! Loved following you on this journey

[@jjlpinct]

I think it was the reflection of the lights from the automobile

[@hmrnsam94]

You are getting so great at this dude

[@To-Lo77]

I’m live 15 min from Monterey Bay, 30 min from Santa Cruz - BOTH are worth your time to check out if you’re still in the area man! Santa Cruz & the redwood trees 🌲, Monterey bay and the coast line are all worth the drift before leaving!! Monterey Bay Aquarium for fishy life. Trees galore on your way down the coast . This entire area line your way down if you’re traveling down is a must ! Great content! Found you a few days ago and have been catching up on videos. Keep up the great efforts bro. Stay safe along the road. Again, must check out if you’re able to! 🤜 🤛

[@michaelwigley8856]

Born and raised in crescent city used to ride are bikes through stout grove as kids. We lived next to the smith river most of my life. When you live there you forget how beautiful it is. Been away for almost twenty years now so its nice seeing it again.

[@Anonymous-wf9me]

Love ur videos man !!

[@valeriestraw6966]

Gold bluffs campgrounds is one of my favorite places to camp

Cruised thru my town Redding, Right on man.

[@shawnas464]

“The wild trees” by Richard Preston on audiobook will give you a whole new perspective on the area you were in here. Amazing!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Been crankin em out duder haha!

[@talliecat73]

You are parked at the boat ramp, the place above that is myrtle Beach to tourist and slant Bridge to locals. It has an amazing jumping or diving rock at the swimming hole and the most calm waters, safe for children and families. On the other side is second bridge and it has its own Instagram page and above that is the south fork of the Smith. You are at the forks. So beautiful. The south fork is also beautiful as it is pristine. Trails everywhere.

[@baileydoyle2525]

Should get a awning for the rig

[@OverlandEngineer]

Does that suck? yes. Is there anything I can do about it...no. Hahaha loved that.

[@Samcooper214]

Beautiful cinematography man! Have you ever thought of getting a DSLR camera?

[@SharkboySJS]

If you go anywhere near Eugene, OR definitely check out Sahalie Falls, about an hour East of Eugene. Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! You won't regret it and it's accommodating to your rig.

[@Matt.serafin5]

You stopped off in my town of Redding CA. Bummer I didn't see you! Maybe next time?

[@James-np8pu]

I miss camping in the Redwoods from when I lived in NorCal. Are you drive thru Idaho at all. You'd love it here.

[@Jaythetruckerr]

Hope I get a chance to drive the 18 wheeler there some day!

[@harleycharley8323]

I live in this area and it’s hard to realize how blessed I am! I just drove thru there yesterday. Did you check out Fern Canyon?

[@alonzoparnell7956]

Just wait until you get the Oregon lol, you have to check out crater lake!

[@morrisclearancecompany8507]

Another great video 👍 do you ever worry about mountain lions or bears when wandering round? Being in the UK, the scariest thing we have is a pissed off badger….

[@lindaterrell5535]

He there are the American badgers. They are born pissed off.

[@talliecat73]

You are lucky stout Grove was open. It is closed for maintenance quite a bit and wind storms close it completely due to tree and debris fall during wind storms and storms in general

[@conifercrow]

I'm sure you're long past by now, but if you get back this way, you CAN stay right in the redwoods -- Jedediah Smith state park is right by the national parkland and has a campground pretty much on the river, under a canopy of giant redwoods. It fills up quickly in the summer, but is totally worth checking out in case there's an opening. There's no feeling like waking up amid giants! :D

[@lindaterrell5535]

That road to the campsite is known as “tertiary maintenance”

[@campoutwestus]

You've been cruising in out hood! If you make it back, hit us up, we are a little farther South near The Avenue of the Giants.

[@xenos975]

9:38 another shooting star went by when you said that. take a look, youll see

[@trev2058]

5:01 are the Sutter Butttes, referred to as the world's smallest mountain range.

[@talliecat73]

Drove 299 every weekend for years. So much better now. Used to be so much crazier, now it's redone.

[@GTC1967]

The crazy thing is that those coastal redwoods are small compared to the Giant Sequoia trees in the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks in central California. There's even a bunch of them in Wawona Grove in Yosemite National Park that you must have missed during your visit there.

[@cjsnow539]

That’s the truth. Some more than twice as wide

[@talliecat73]

Going north you should venture into South Fork of the Smith. Most beautiful place on earth

[@menosg]

It would be nice if you showed a small clip of a US map and mark the places youve already been with the truck. And also where you are next headed.

[@talliecat73]

That is the boat ramp in hiuochi ca, at the forks of the Smith

[@talliecat73]

Omg you did make it to 199, slant Bridge and second bridge

[@Kris-bf4wk]

If those tree's could talk!

[@southernslipping4225]

If you go to Colorado go to Rocky Mountain lodge it’s right out of Antonio colorado it’s beautiful my mother law runs the camp ground there and we go every year around June

[@davidgarcia1569]

Yo if you’re coming through the Oregon coast let me know! I have some beach camping spots I can show you! I live in coos bay

[@cynthia3976]

Thank you for not being a touron with the elk. 😄

Hwy 299 one of my favorite highways 7:28

[@westrundy9406]

Is broccoli your favorite food? Seem to have it with every meal 😂

[@talliecat73]

I hope you got to visit 199 and Hiouchi and Gasquet and jed smith

[@robertoooooo]

Wooooo!

[@southernslipping4225]

What radio do you have in the yota

[@darbo6955]

What are the dimensions of the rig? I’m looking to do some sort of trip too

[@valeriestraw6966]

I mean crazy beautiful, huh? I'm 30 mins from the Smith River and stout grove. Live in Brookings Oregon.

[@ShaggyDoo.98]

What do you do for a living man? Always wanted to work from home on the computer to have more time with my family. I would love to know 👍🏽

[@talliecat73]

You go 12 miles up from here to a bridge and the most delicious mountain spring water comes out the side of the mountain.

[@darbo6955]

[@cjsnow539]

Doesn’t work when you don’t have cell service

[@SalvagetoScenic]

It’s an aftermarket touch screen I had bought on Amazon two years ago. Unfortunately it’s since been discontinued. There’s lots of other solid options out there!

[@talliecat73]
