On this episode of Weekenderlander, we take the Land Cruiser on a mini overland trip (just camping really, relax), to let it spread its wings a little. This was the 80 Series Land Cruiser's first trip since putting on the new GFC (Go Fast Campers) tent. The FZJ80 performed great, though we didn't really do any wheeling. The GFC held up great, and we had a good time taking the 80 on its maiden voyage. Full Land Cruiser Walkaround coming soon.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Should I ever think about adding narration like everyone else does, or nah?

[@Bsmiley7988]

Some narration could be good when showing things that could use some more info.... I haven't watched many of your vids yet. Found you thru John the PoetWarrior. I see your ankle has healed... that was rough. I can't wait to see more about your Land Cruiser. I'm hoping to pick up some tips and ideas for overlanding camping adventures.

[@amioverlandingyet_4058]

Please no. Look at venture4wd no music no narration and the most epic stuff on KZbin. His vids make you feel like you’re there. If you change make a change in his direction. That’s my two cents anyway 😬

[@proflores4258]

Last Line Of Defense i like not having music. Although if you do music maybe lower it down a little. Fellow spam,eggs, and rice lover and Colorado adventurer. 🤙🏾

[@Justinlc08]

Last Line Of Defense definitely need music

[@Atlas1971]

Narration during broll? I think it's fine to let the pictures speak for themselves. You nail the vids so they speak volumes. Let the videography speak for itself.

[@ReimerKeith]

For shots of vehicles travelling off-road, music is great. I don't like it when it is a background to a conversation or narrative.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Got it!

[@mikemantho9426]

Old Tanker Yep, same here.

[@bigCappa]

Same here, good comment.

[@underthelibertytree712]

100% agree. I find it highly annoying to have music on when people are talking. You are then chasing the volume. You have to turn it up to understand the conversation and then it is too loud.

[@ae72crown]

Agreed.

[@Bo884DigitaL]

No question keep the music. Keep to your style it's why most of us watch you.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

No plans on changing, thanks man! Just wanted to see how no music was received, but I prefer with music for sure.

[@jasonhayes4290]

Keep the music. It’s your style and that’s what makes it you.

[@mburke1211]

I’ll take the vids any way you want to produce them, with or without music, etc. You are great at what you do. As far as content, I like the way you mix in gear reviews, off-road truck stuff, over landing/camping, and guns. Keep it all coming!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Appreciate it, man!

[@larrybriggs2920]

I can see that this channel is going in the right direction. 80's are where it's at man. I have a 91. Love to see everything you do to your rig and camping .

[@josuecolon2659]

Bring back the music. What really brought me here was the style of your first few weekenderlander videos. Go back to that. Dad always says "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Keep up the good work man.

[@joemirasola7466]

I agree with Old Tanker comments, love the subtle music when traveling. Like Ashley’s involvement, trying to inspire my wife to get involved in these type of outdoor activities.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

2:41 - think this is actually the second time I've put this in a video...

[@jimbojims]

The mighty 80 series A legend already A future icon.

[@markmcleod7968]

Hey man, hello from Coffs Harbour, Australia I have friends in Cedaredge and have been to. Colorado a few times, great place. I also drive an 80 so we are practically brothers. I appreciate the detail you give on you gear and look forward to the 80 walk around Keep the shiny side up 👍👍

[@gymmonkeys7254]

Love the Weekenderlander videos. I like when there is music, and I always like hearing about gear you are using and testing out. Thanks

[@yakalaka6376]

Definitely music. Not only does it give these videos an upbeat vibe but it makes me want to go camping because you make it look really fun, besides its also your “signature”. These weekenderlander vids are the best!

[@mattwlane]

For sure the music. It adds a level of professionalism and also adds to the enjoyment of the video!

[@jasenhicks]

I love these 2019 videos showing all the optimism for 2020. Great truck, camping spot and dog, and not necessarily in that order. I love the dog hair all over the hat, it certainly gets everywhere.

[@jreg0028]

I especially like the gear reviews/builds. Watching you use the stuff you promote plus adding it to your description is awesome. The way you organize your trucks and utilize every square inch in a functional manner is what I love. The music adds a little flavor, but ultimately it's all about the content for me anyways. Keep up the great work. Tried and true is how I view your channel.

[@TRDGE]

Another fantastic video! I think that music is always welcome since it sets the mood esp when on the trails but do what you love doing. We're grateful for the content. I esp like your "new" overlanding rig. Can't wait for the next video, keep up the great work!

[@embarklife]

all about your music selection for a long time, it goes so well and involves us as the audience into what you imagine musically to fit your storytelling. its revealing and true thats the best kind of inspiration.

[@davidseck1146]

I agree with everyone else, keep the music. You've been helping me add to my SoundCloud. Can't wait to see the drawer system you have planned! 👍

[@kevspss]

Most of the island’s in the Pacific had to live on Spam during WWII. That’s why it’s ingrained into the culture out there. I also love it my dad was a Marine that served out there, so pretty much going to be eating it.

[@nickstert7437]

I love how you said 2020 is just around the corner with exciting things to come..... Love that retro synthwavey music btw. New sub and love the content here 👍🏼

[@alexsachse]

Spam and eggs! I thought I was the only one on the mainland that liked this kind of food. Love it! And yes, I also love your videos in general because they always teach me something new.

[@ssanskardevara1784]

I was waiting for your overlanding videos 😎 N its finally here.. 🎈

[@c.t.2573]

I like the vids with music. Kudos to you for experimenting with your style. Thanks for the dose of inspiration to get out there and explore👍

[@southerncross31]

Thank you for not overwhelming the content blasting music at me. Music appreciation is an individual taste kind of thing. We all have different tastes. Nice presentation!

[@MrBluoct]

Clean rig! Glad to see the pup in fine form!

[@dsauce5722]

No music, no problem. I enjoy your awesome content and if I'm not paying I'm not complaining. Good luck in the new year. Love the LC.

[@dylangentile7917]

Keep the music for sure! Also, we find the videos of you, Ash, and Atreyu the most entertaining and how you set up your campsites. Also love the time lapses of the ride home. The only thing I’d suggest is maybe some videos of hikes! Thanks for the vids Mike👌🏼

[@tykiegortat6358]

I liked this with no music! My favorite video as far as your music setup is Mesquito pass! Music most places until the trail and then just the sound of your tires on the rocks I love it! I love your videos man! I'm excited to see this 80 more often! 👍

[@zorttaco4503]

Love all of your videos with or without. But your music brings it all together

[@duketamalco7865]

Nice quick trip getting out there. Hat is awesome!

[@ashtonmcmahen2137]

These are my fav videos that you do. Love the land cruiser man!

[@joshgonzales6925]

Bro. Honestly you got this far filming and editing the way you have. Do you man. That’s what makes your content yours. Don’t listen to others who aren’t making content to your level. Love the content budddy

[@CoryCollision]

So much love for this series,Keep it up please!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Will do - lotta fun trips in 2020!

[@braydenbretzel]

Keep the music in man. Music changes everything and adds mood and suspense to any film making... I can't believe someone asked to keep the music out. Keep them coming man.

[@lcatalla7292]

Great looking set up man. I like the background music in the video on your next vlog. Tell us more about the GFC tent next time.

[@0waverunner0]

Music is a good thing. I say keep putting it in! Also, the LC is looking amazing!

[@lazerrred]

Oh, and the 80’s looking real nice. You will enjoy it as you move ahead with her. And I dunno if I missed the music or not, but yeah, maybe I did. I would enjoy either way I’m sure. Peace.

[@hyrumjohnson8788]

Do what makes you happy and love the music love the vids keep it up, nice color of paint Beautiful👍🏼

[@ahoymer]

My man! Eggs and rice! But definitely add some music, it gets a good vibe going to the weekenderlander feeling! Great vlog otherwise! ☺️ Cant wait for the walkaround vid!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

thanks!

[@Timberjo2]

Can't wait to learn more about the 80. I for one enjoy the music in the videos. Thanks for the great content!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

80 walkaround coming very soon!

[@FrVital94]

Your videos inspired me to get out there and enjoy nature! Just recently grabbed a 4x4 Tacoma thanks to you. Can’t afford a roof tent rn, but we’re gonna grab a bed tent and work our way up!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

That’s awesome man, glad to hear it!

[@reafkennedy3069]

Man its your channel. You do what you want to with it. We'll still watch.

[@Atlas1971]

BTW That truck looks amazing!!! I'm only 5 min in but I miss the music and the mood it sets in your weekenderlander videos. You are good at it and you should keep it up! Thanks for what you do Mike.

[@Ibitehardcore1]

I was skeptical about no music but... this was great and enjoyable content. Awesome 80 😎 Can’t wait for the walk-around

[@INTERVENTIONALRADIOL]

I like the music. Specially for the nature shots.

[@markdoman7384]

I like the music. It adds a lot more to the video and I like the music you usually choose.

[@shrubjr893]

I love the weekenderlander stuff! Music is good, this is good too. I don't really have anything constructive to say. Thanks for the vid though!

[@chrisdamrow110]

Not necessary, you do a great job and I appreciate and like the selection & amount of music you do. I enjoy the amount of detail in the vids, I feel like your doing a great job with the level of personal information. Maybe one small comment, more links to the equipment you mention, such as the tent here. FYI I'm new here so I don't doubt you've docked em in the past already and I haven't seen it. Great job man, I really enjoy your personalty and the content you present!

[@tribalsean]

Cool vid, great rig, awesome hat..👊🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@justinmcelman1460]

Bring on the winter camping ❄️

[@Bward216]

Some video ideas - The prep that goes into a weekender or and overland trip - a mock bugout trial

[@shoemann810]

I like the music, looking forward to a full review of the tent

[@91S10BAJA]

Great video! Like some others, I enjoy a bit of music with your B-rolls...but the content was still great! Looking forward to more adventures with the 80.

[@robinlatta9619]

Like to see more about your truck. Looking forward to the walk around.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

Nice when you decide to use is for real. Ill take you out. Looks great Mike.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Yeah, now that it drives straight down the road, ready to take it out, haha. It'll just be slow going up any hills... for now.

[@w0nt0nj0n]

@@LastLineOfDefense I usually keep the pwr button on all the time and if I'm going up long steep hill, I'll either throw it in 2nd or turn overdrive off, or both!

[@w0nt0nj0n]

It gets really hilly sometimes here in WA like CO

[@ET_Videos]

Hawaii + SPAM = Heaven!!

[@noahsackett7145]

Something I really like seeing is driving trails. Like the two part one you did recently.

[@Rockymountainpreps]

Just pulled my fiancées FJ80 out of storage after 4 years of it sitting. Excited and inspired by yours to get it out there and do some work on it!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Sounds like a fun project!

[@LUVDATPUSPUS69]

I’m 5 seconds in and I hate everyone that requested there be no music.

[@bungieking9468]

Nice change of pace to your videos. I like to hear a little music underneath. I think it adds to the mood of your show. Keep up the great work!

[@AaronCarr]

Oh man, 2020 is going to be a big year - you were kind of right! Thanks for the video

[@joelbilliot9102]

Definitely music in my opinion. Your making great content. I started watching your videos a couple years back for the weapon content and stumbled onto the overland part and I've been hooked.. trying to get out there myself in the next year or 2 at the latest. And you have been a great help. Thank you for all that you do. Love all your videos. Even when you ramble lol

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Awesome man, hope you are able to make it out and enjoy some nature!

[@andyham6094]

I always love seeing more shots driving of the trucks whether it’s the Tacoma or this land cruiser. More off roading clips and driving clips of the trucks would be sick although you do a great job of adding a lot of everything in there

[@TheN00bWarrior]

Would love to sees some longer weekenderlander vids

[@w0nt0nj0n]

Hell yes about time! Definitely want to see more shots of the vehicle doing its thing, also dont forget to join Toyota 80 series USA on FB, tons of knowledge there.

[@perryorne6775]

Nice job. You do well with these. Like them.

[@theramblur6477]

Screw my flight in the mornin I’m stayin up to watch!!

[@lhx220]

I was literally just camping here. Sweet spot. What a trip!

[@mklaus]

Land Cruiser looking good!

[@Rayneman1976]

Ahh, found the comment box. I like the music but also cool to change it up at times. Content: equipment, gear, including installs and specs. I really liked the water container that you tapped with a spigot. Maybe some b roll with how-to on that, where the container was sourced, and brand name. Detailed info is your specialty. Lastly the location, (not GPS necessarily) story behind it. Colorado is rich in history. Some of the landscape appeared to have been damaged by an avalanche or fire- went by quick. Nature, gear, history, music. Magical combination on the way to 1m subscribers :)

[@jonathancamps9853]

Your content is great! I just click and enjoy the ride 🕶. Now that your asking, I want to see more of you hiking or biking around. That vid with warrior poet was fun. Also tips and tricks for campers that you have learned

[@lizinnebraska5324]

Love your videos with music. Like your casual style and not overly complicated on technical details but letting us know what you do to kit out your truck.

[@harvmac69]

I like a little music in the videos, but then again, you do you Mike. We are here to share in your adventures. I do like seeing Ash and Atreau in your videos too. Its gives it multiple out looks on whats going on. I still like the Taco Weekenderlanders, but the Cruiser is pretty cool!

[@jimmymccracken1394]

Enjoy the music, don’t pay attention to the haters. Love the new ride, such a great looking rig!

[@4xhoser]

I actually liked the no music I always like the weekenderlander videos because they make me feel like I'm there, detail and the experience is why I watch

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Appreciate it, glad I'm able to take you guys along with me!

[@lukeking5237]

My kind of breakfast! Love spam and eggs. And do add some music. A plain jane one is ok once in awhile.

[@OverlandTrax]

Good video, keep the videos coming ✌

[@Smilez8916]

Definitely add that 80's type music back

[@stevefossum9065]

love the 80

[@renegade7493]

AWESOME LADY.. SHE KNOWS TO CATCH YOU WATERING THE PLANTS, LOL

[@docdp5532]

Really enjoy the music in the background, missed it with this video.

[@irvgotti94]

Saw an 80 series in thumbnail and clicked as fast as I could

[@willb3018]

Nothing wrong with the right music at the right time. Your selections are generally good. But I can go both ways.....music or no music that is.

[@greym6436]

Good stuff. 🤘🏽

[@DaleofSuspense]

I really enjoy the videos with the music.

[@medcheez]

I personally have little preference but if I was forced to choose I would say that no music is better, I enjoy hearing the vehicles struggle for traction and the sound of the engine.

[@robinhd7032]

The rig is looking Sic!!! Ideal vid: Good locale Equip review FOOD!!!🤣😂🤣 A lil camp talk/rig talk Next day Etc... Your killin it! Turned so many of my peeps on to ya! Keep up the good work

[@JNC7601]

Great video

[@danaelliott6012]

Music for sure. Cool vid.

[@tfabian0313]

Definitely enjoy the music

[@davidakers8258]

Good vid great rig !

[@tyrelwray4987]

Definitely like the music!

[@labmatt7333]

Keep the music. It adds a lot to the feel of the video. Some things I'd find interesting in weekenderlander videos: - Packing. Tips, things you found you don't/do need based on past trips, etc. - Setting up camp. Picking out a spot, getting leveled, etc. - B-roll of scenery - Your take on the road to where you are and what type of vehicle you'd need for it. Things like AWD, high clearance, stock. - Vlogging around camp. Gotta get your girl to be less camera shy haha.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Roger - thanks for the content suggestions, I'll keep them in mind for sure!

[@scotta4726]

Hey. I grew up on spam and rice. Love it. The Philadelphia Pa guy I am new rig looks great 👍🏽🤙🏽

[@kcore8669]

Hi Mike, keep the weekenderlander videos going, I have been watching from EP 1 and you really get me motivated to get out more with my Taco Prerunner I know it is not a 4X4 but i can still overland most trails here in Las Vegas, NV. Keep it up, Love the channel.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Awesome - whatever gets you out enjoying nature!

[@ngc1016]

Love your videos

[@codysansom6779]

I'm definitely a music guy. A lot of people prefer it. Anyone that doesn't can adjust their volume. Win win situation. Love the Weekendlander series!

[@trentknight9710]

Lets see some more gun tuff!!!!

[@dtrn750]

No music? The music you choose definitely adds to the experience. Keep the music Mike. And as far as what else to film? I really like your weekenderlanding videos. The places you go are just awesome. I like how you mix vlogging and product review. Great concept.
