I just noticed after watching Sean for the last couple of years that he actually talks a lot like Elon Musk.. I'm the one that referred him to sumit 4 x 4. I got the Sequoia I told you about a while back. My friend and I are going to do this trail that you guys are doing. We were planning this summer early summer but I decided we would cut our teeth in on the Grand canyon first, Doing a trip all the way around it..

[@ORShenanigans6186-c1x]

I'm definitely going to be getting onX after seeing you guys use it. People have been referring me to get it but seeing you guys use it firsthand sold me. 👍🏻

[@ORShenanigans6186-c1x]

It's all your fault Brad .. I just ordered a 50 inch Gravity Titan light bar with two Gravity Titan ditch lights to replace my filex4s having those two down with the other two flex4s on the bumper. I'm going up Monday morning to pick them up from KC and see their new location.. so hopefully they'll have some more Christmas ornaments for me LOL. Not unless they gave them all to you again 😂

[@ORShenanigans6186-c1x]

OnX is going to be at Red Or Dead Fabrication tomorrow in Prescott. They are giving away to 3 people 1 year onX services. I'm going to go check them out because I'm going to get them anyway..

Brad has transitioned from a KZbin video of he and his son jeeping in the desert, to an amazing story teller that happens to overland.

[@albetherechillin]

Whoa this is his son

[@steve337]

No this isn’t his son. Brads first video from years ago was him and his son out in the Jeep just having fun.

[@GATORADDAM]

That's hilarious. I'm leaving on a trip in the morning and the Jack Daniel's pulled pork is already in the fridge.

Never would have thought Arizona had places like this!!!!!

[@fitzventure]

Arizona has the largest contiguous Ponderosa Pine Forest in the world. We have a lot more than desert.

[@nachoandsancho5218]

Keep thinking like that! Really wish word hadn't got out about this place

That shot at the top of the cinder volcano made this video and the whole series worth it! Such an amazing shot!

Such a wonderful adventure! Thank You for bringing us with you.

Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks for joining me!

[@thomaskolbe-sweden]

Funny when you compare temperatures 😄An easy way to convert from F to Cel. is to subtract 30 and then divide by 2. Ex. 70 F. minus 30 is 40, divided by 2 is 20 degrees cel. 😊 And the other way around: 23 cel., as Shawn said, x2 is 46 plus 30 is 76 F. Not totally exact, but then you have an idea of what the other guy is talking about.

[@starman9458]

I can calculate Celsius to Fahrenheit by taking C°x9/5+32=F° but doing the opposite is a challenge for me.

[@cdnjeepoverland]

@@thomaskolbe-sweden One day those freedom units will just go away! Maybe when the states become Canadian provinces 🤣

Brrrrrrrr. Reminds me I froze my butt off in Flagstaff the night before Expo West last year…. So unpredictable! Oh, hey, I had almost forgotten Shaun’s Ram is red under that camo wrap. Great adventure storytelling and videography!

[@renovaldez8838]

Thank you for making this route available. I had driven a similar route last spring but took a more technical route but definitely didn’t see all the amazing points of interest you saw. I did visit White Pocket, The Wave, and Buckskin Gulch. When I’m done with this round of chemo, I am definitely going to follow your route. Once again, thank you for sharing. If there any other Arizona routes available either on here your website or on Patreon. Thanks again Master Chief.

[@RowanAdventureCompany]

The small amount of videos I’ve done while adventuring with the family has shown me how much work is required to get these kinds of shots; thank you for sharing! It inspires me to get out and keep going

[@bwofficial1776]

Going up on the volcano may be the coolest ending to a video you've had. I never knew Arizona was so varied.

[@TheStoryTillNow]

We climbed a volcano! 🤓🙌🏻

[@TrailRecon]

Heck ya we did!

[@rubiconadventurewithscotty3258]

I hope you rise up to The Paria Plateau on our border with Utah - lots of multi-day adventures with views that rival Alstrom Point but without crowds

[@scottymac5174]

When you climb a volcano like Mount Lassen in Northeast California. And see all the geysers, hotsprings and mud pots.. You say to yourself, "I am standing on an active volcano!" .

[@Spaniard-ovrland]

[@PacificNWesty]

Beautiful scenery and fun looking trails. Nice rigs, too. We always enjoy your content. Thanks for sharing the helpful tips also.

[@MMOverlandAdventures]

We went through Young AZ some years ago after camping on the Mongollon Rim. Went from there heading to Mesa down the Apache Trail. There is an amazing campsite south of there overlooking Roosevelt Lake on a high cliff. Beautiful country Brad, thanks for sharing.

[@XploreAz]

Just drove the Apache Trail last week. It had been closed for years after part of the road washed away and the state said it would never be repaired. I guess they got enough push from the citizens and they repaired it and reopened in September. I hadn’t been in it since the late 80’s until then.

[@americonoffroadadventures8132]

Very nice! 33.3 million acres of public fun. Thanks

[@NKBOutdoors]

Better to stay dry in the trees on top of the Rim than right next to a GIANT cold source with wind chill to help blow it into you, if ya ask me. One of the coldest nights of my life was camping on the Colorado on White Rim Trail for Thanksgiving. The mild breeze took that water and just nuked the shoreline with cold. Meanwhile, camping up on top of the mesas the night before and up in the mountains afterwards was lovely. Even -10F elk hunting in CO feels better 'cause we avoid the humidity and blown cold of water sources. Food for thought if you don't take well to cold.

[@BaconCruiser]

Love it! I live in Flagstaff and there’s so much around here to explore it’s endless. Also KC HiLites HQ is here and they give you a discount for buying in person which is awesome!

Thx for another great adventure and welcome back to our STate! You passed by East of Payson and the chance to catch a rare Apache Trout! You must come back. BTW, still shorts and T-shirt weather from Phoenix on South

[@joem5110]

The coldest I camped was 10 below zero F. I was hunting for Mountain Lion and camping at night in my truck bed camper. I was nice and warm all night.

[@HallowellsSpeedShop]

Been going to Cinders since ‘01 on my dirt bike, I know that place like the back of my hand. There’s so many cool places out there. $50 hill, $100 hill, Jeep Hill, Cinder Bowl, pipeline road, etc. Next time I find out you’re coming out this way, we will have to link up and I’ll show you all around cinders

[@alandisomma-od5fz]

Looks like Long Lake? I have been there with my son fishing for northern pike. The wind kicked up and blew us across the lake. Had to paddle the canoe into the wind. WOW. It was difficult for us to get back to our campsite but we made it.

[@fscottgray9784]

I picked up a good tip on using a 12 volt heating pad to keep my power banks heated in cold temps from this video. I have one power bank that has self heating batteries but not on the big unit with expansion batteries. I always learn from these videos. See you on Magruders some time in the future I hope.

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! Magruder is still on the bucket list.... 1 attempt failed a couple years ago because of fires.

[@fscottgray9784]

@@TrailRecon Fire cut my trip off through Magruders this year after I was going through Hells canyon area and the LOlo Motorway just North of Magruders. Lolo trail is the path that Lewis and Clark took across central Idaho from Montana. Very interesting drive. Indian Post office is pretty cool steeped with history. Combine the Lolo with Magruders and you have a epic trip.

[@Deanna52ish]

You're in our territory. We live in Phoenix. When you were in Young, we were hoping you'd go farther east into the White Mountain's of Arizona past Show Low. If you do another winter trip in AZ, plan to go up to the White Mountains, you'll love it.

[@TrailRecon]

Oh, good tip. I'll have to keep that in mind next time.

[@rubiconadventurewithscotty3258]

I know! - perhaps catch a rare Apache Trout or Gila Trout - they did NOT even touch on our mining district area or Petrified Forest. They are leaving massive parallel adventures to the East and the West for future excursions - so much more. This is kinda like when they did Maggie SLot canyon and missed The AZ Delicate Arch - it was right there!

Just no rainfall this winter down there. Up here in Monterey Bay we have a winter season total of 8 inches to date. That is nothing.. Normally those high elevation spots would have snow.

Arizona... My younger brother was down there last weekend. He has this cardlock gasoline network through his work. Gasoline in AZ through this, $2.75/gallon! Just over the border in California, $4.00/gallon.

There are plenty of lakes not so high up here in AZ where you can go in the winter and it will be like 50-70 degrees.

[@curtshelp6170]

I was in that area yesterday but didn't have time to explore the cinders, Now I have to camp there next week.

[@kyledanger45]

Hey Brad, where was the lake that you talked about @ 10:54 ?

[@d.williamvitt3869]

As a New Mexican who on a trip last fall to the Gila NF; which led us across into eastern AZ I too was impressed on what’s there.

[@TrailRecon]

I've spent some time in NM, but hoping to do a similar style trip like this one there in the future.

[@d.williamvitt3869]

In your planning there are four all dirt trails that can be done on dirt across NM. There is the NM BDR which is very do able in NM with a Jeep. I have a JLU Willys and my wife has a JT Willys. There is also the Tour Divide MTB trail which is 90% two track in NM, there is the Enchanted Rockies Trail and finally the Great Plains Trail. You could combine them into a very challenging tour. Also contact Turner Preserves, they have numerous huge eco-tourism ranches which I’m sure would make for a great challenging backdrop for trails adventure.

[@starman9458]

Arizona has a lot of ancient volcanoes and the one I know that existed 55,000 years ago during the Pleistocene was the S P Crater. The lava leaked out of the volcano instead of erupting and it is a dormant and extinct cinder volcano.

[@rubiconmatt]

Love the video, but it seems your navigation map system is not really doing the job, since you keep having to turn around. Is the Onx not showing these issues? Thanks

[@dgallahue3571]

Lived in Phoenix and would go to the Cinders for many summers with the toy hauler and quads & rzr. As wife and I became better riders and got more powerful quads, we shot all the hills and cinder cones. Some amazing rides & some very dangerous areas. I would not do much hill shooting there in a jeep...way too dangerous. We saw accidents in jeeps where people were killed. Very dusty, much more than the dunes. Also, the volcanic cinder is very abrasive. We went thru a lot of paddle tires. Best riding was after summer monsoon storms....no dust and nice and cool. Great memories there.

[@arrowheadoverland]

Thank you for the informative comment. Is camping allowed in the Cinders area?

Hey Brad, great video. Keep the adventures going. How’s the JK doing nowadays? Do you still have the 392? Are you still going the same direction with the gladiator as planned? I love all the videos you put out. Keep up the great work.

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks! This last year I have downsized the amount of vehicles I know have. My goal is to focus on adventure and not building new vehicles all the time. The Gladiator "Doc" is my primary expedition vehicle and I hope I can continue to help promote the importance of first aid training and carrying the proper gear. While I never intended it to be an actual response vehicle, I have dialed back my initial build plans with it to keep things a bit more practical.

Hey I'm looking to get my first Wrangler soon. I already decided I want a 2013+ for the engine and interior but I just want to know what you would advise about miles. I can't find much under $20k with less than 100k miles on it. Would you advise against something with that many miles?
