ROOFTOP TENTING ON A REMOTE BEACH /// EFRT S5•EP11

The EPIC Family Road Trip - SEASON 5•EPISODE 11//
In this week's episode, we head south from Exploration Outfitters in Mead, Oklahoma to The South Padre Island National Seashore in Southern Texas.This is our maiden voyage with our newly retrofitted Jeep Rubicon after it spent about two weeks in the shop being built into an expedition vehicle at Exploration Outfitters. This Jeep is our newest member of The Epic Family Road Trip in addition to our original 2012 Jeep Wrangler Arctic Addition named Vandi. We had retrofitted Vandi at Exploration Outfitters in 2016 before shipping her to New Zealand for a 6-month overseas overland expedition. You can watch the full build process on our channel which was documented into a 4 part series following the build of the Jeep from stock to where it is now! Make sure to check out those videos for any information on the gear we got installed and the modifications we had done. Stay tuned on our channel for a full in-depth walk-around tour of our new Jeep which will be coming soon! We had a lot of fun this week at South Padre Island National Seashore with both of our Jeeps! This was our first time overlanding and camping with our new convoy member and we are so excited for the adventures to come over the next few months and beyond with our two Jeeps on the road! Thank you all so much for watching! We hope you enjoyed the video and if you’re new to our channel we hope you will become an EFRT Family member by subscribing to our channel for new videos every Sunday! ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉EXPLORATION OUTFITTERS: explorationoutfitters.com/ INSTAGRAM (@Exploration_outfitters): / exploration_outfitters ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ Long Range America (Auxiliary Fuel tanks) www.longrangeamerica.com ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ Milestar Tires (Patagonia MT) www.milestartires.com/light-t... ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ EXPLORATION OUTFITTERS: explorationoutfitters.com/ INSTAGRAM (@Exploration_outfitters): / exploration. . ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ WARN WINCHES www.warn.com/ ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ GOOSE GEAR: www.goose-gear.com/collection...

So cool, not the nicest beach but lots of nature and it’s the largest barrier island in the the world! Tide seemed very high when y’all were there

16:40 such a dad moment checking the door handle after your son stepped on it. Enjoy yourselves, so many beautiful places to visit across N. America.

The scene arriving to the beach and the music, just recalls 100% Peru: The exact type of sand, sea, waves, birds and -of course- the andean music ... i really thought these guys were in the Peruvian coast ... Love it!

The early mornings are always the best at the beach, worth being there at sunrise.

[@jle6404]

Caroline, we see that you're getting scuba certified. Excellent, and now be sure to join the group GIRLS THAT SCUBA. It is a very supportive community of women who love all things diving and you would be most welcome. Get yourself somewhere for a dive with beautiful reefs and do more diving without that heavy surf, murky water and nothing to look at. That was a hard way to start into the sport.

[@peternorth7619]

Looks great . Come to Australia and we can show you some beaches.

[@chrisoverholt2280]

Beautiful spot to add to the list. And its been a lot of fun watching the content getting better and better. Awesome shot and transition at 17:08! Another great video. Hope you gave both rigs and equipment a good rinse afterwards. Safe Travels
