Nice video ! I used to hunt over on the LBJ GRASSLANDS few years ago ! Shot my 1st buck (basket buck) over there on area 51, 80 something acre lit'l patch. Alan in 🇨🇱

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Thanks Alan? Is there good hunting at the grasslands?

[@catholiccamper]

Cool, very cool!

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching.

[@daniel.espinotx]

LBJ Grasslands has some nice dispersed camping. I hunt the grasslands quite frequently and camp there

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Nice! It’s a great little getaway close to home.

[@scottkirk8661]

I live in Decatur cool video. I’ve camped out there in the same place stand of pines. across the road from where you were

[@GearUpAndGo23]

I was surprised to find those pines out there. Really cool spot!

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Love you showed this area, have spent many many a night camping out at LBJ! Subbed to ya and looking forward to more TX content

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Thanks for the encouragement! More trips planned for sure.

[@Trinity-Overland]

Thanks for the video. We are out of Central Texas and it never occurred to us to go here. This is a perfect place to introduce new folks to overlanding without scaring them away with crazy off-roading trips.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Thanks for watching! I agree, also a good place to test a new setup at.

[@Trinity-Overland]

@@GearUpAndGo23 Ohh, now I new new stuff to test. 😆

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Never a bad time for new gear!

Your newest subscriber and fellow TX Vet with OLing ambitions. Glad to see the Grasslands are still available. I've been meaning to get up there to get away.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Glad to have you along! The grasslands are doing well, a great get away when it’s a little cooler.

[@rastersplatter]

Love it. I live in Central Texas and would like to see a map of your trip.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Good Idea! Email me at [e-mail] and I'll send you a map on it.

There was a body found in the lake at the 3 minute mark over 30 years ago, if I remember correctly he had been shot in the back. At least I think that’s the lake, I haven’t been there in over 15 years. There is a lot of area to explore. Some of the higher areas have steep rocky drops and a few very small springs.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Man that's crazy! Thanks for the tip on the high rocky areas, i'll have to check em out.

[@zachcostanza1990]

That camp spot is about a mile from my house drive thru there all the time

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Nice, have you ever camped there just for fun?

[@zachcostanza1990]

@GearUpAndGo23 no I haven't camped there yet just drive thru for scenic and hiked the trails

[@GearUpAndGo23]

​@@zachcostanza1990 That's an awesome place to have so close to home!

[@SickkntTactical]

Sub'd Im in Denton feels like no one overlands here!

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Thanks! Yea there’s not too many. I guess cause everything is so far.

[@thebigempty_5792]

That's because the majority of land in Texas is privately owned. There are very little free camping areas.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

@@thebigempty_5792 True, a lot more free camping options in Oklahoma.

[@turbowarp]

Just 50 miles from DFW. Camping, fishing/hunting, horseback riding, hiking and it is so sparsely used. I dont get it.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

It's an awesome place! I think most people just aren't aware of it.

[@texbrazos31]

Be careful, I have been shot at out there, and there are some grumpy land owners, that will start shooting as well to scare you off. Years back a guy got mad about someone hunting in his spot, and went and shot up the other guys truck.

[@GearUpAndGo23]

Dang! I’ll keep that in mind.
