TrailRecon & Lite Brite Go Offroading Together!

Holy moly, we went offroading with TrailRecon! And let me tell you, Brad knows how to party. And the rest of the crew are just as amazing. Please please don’t even get me started on Marco’s cooking. That man is a chef magician.
Basically, what I’m saying is that Kevin and I may have learned a thing or two on this trip.

[@TrailRecon]

This was such an amazing weekend... I looking forward to hitting another trail with you all soon!

[@jckastro4812]

my two favorite channels together would be the best

[@mikegoldenGames]

TrailRecon and Lite Brite, would it be possible to DM you guys? I have another KZbin channel for my company. We have a really interesting product that will really help you guys out on the trail. I have been meaning message you both, and I just saw this upload.

[@alexmedina1708]

I saw his and Marco's jeep in the last video and was so excited to see this. you two are the most amazing jeep channels. polar opposites but both the same level of entertainment.

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

@TrailRecon : You and your group needs to teach our two non-adult kids on this channel, how to cook while on the trail. 🤣

[@pitbull62]

have you beefed up your axles yet since going 37's? im assuming from that opening clip perhaps you have or is that still all stock?

[@lonniet.2816]

Two of my favorite channels. So fun to watch!

[@chrisallen2024]

Great to see the two best jeep you tubers together by the way🤩

[@nachovalenti]

Nice to see TrailRecon and Lite Brite together. Well done.

[@ziggy6313]

So very cool seeing you all wheeling together. And what a feast Marco prepared. Glad you had a blast.

[@JohnGoingAndDoingThings]

"Calculated unnecessary risks" I like that answer. Sounds fun!

[@magnum8608]

Aside from obvious ingredients for your bug out bag, A few of my favorites are: Chef's torch - butane for fire @ 2000 degrees, Seals survival kit, Hand chainsaw, good dagger knives, Rappelling rope: never know when you might need it for human recovery, extra carabiners of various sizes, Rain suits or ponchos then MRE's and the obvious stuff! Happy Jeeping!

[@voodooranger6905]

Man I’m glad you guys got a chance to hangout. I’ve been following TR for awhile now his videos are always great. Brad is the man, nice job LB.

[@scottbowman5673]

I watch both of your guys channels religiously, I would say that if you were to have your EDC carry bags in your your vehicle you should always have a full first aid kit, I use a lot of Maxpadition pouches to organize the stuff I want with me. The second thing is a fire kit with different ways to start a fire. The Sensible Prepper channel is who I follow for my EDC carry stuff. It is an amazing outlet for information to help anyone survive in even the worst times. Be safe out there and have fun! I have many items in my EDC bag in my Jeep that just deal with the cold here in Minnesota, but also could be used in California, Colorado or anywhere.

[@ernestlyons1720]

Two of my favorite channels together. Awesome!

[@bilymac2321]

Awesome seeing you guys wheeling together. Two of my favorite YT Channels.

[@yzfr1owner]

My two favorite Jeep youtubers together. Looks like a good time.

[@outsideinoregon]

Trail Recon is amazing

[@rickw.6382]

Pack recommendations: First aid kit, warm clothes (sweat pants/shirts), hat & gloves, clean socks and undies, beef jerky (or some other high protein snack), water, batteries, small GPS, walkie talkies, 550 cord, electrical and duct tape, swiss army knife, small tool bag (screwdrivers, pliers, etc), space blanket, rain poncho. Good luck

[@alfredofuentes9408]

Rick Wolf only think I would add to this is some zip ties, a blanket, and to make sure the first aid kit has a tourniquet. We came across a side by side that had rolled in a trail just before sunset as temps were dropping fast. Between the blanket keeping him from going into shock and the tourniquet stopping the bleeding. We were able to save him till the medevac arrived. Great list Rick!

[@xzerbaluyot9994]

I've met Brad and Marco in person. Some of the nicest people I have ever met. You guys are in good company.

[@evaflintironstag9356]

How is the Stepchild so amazing? Like, seriously. Everything you do looks so easy.

[@LiteBrite]

Eva Varnju And a great driver. 😊

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

And a doggy with ALL the kisses … IN THE WORLD !!! 🤣

[@ctascmercdoc]

Just love yals videos. Trail Recon is great to watch too! We took the jump today and traded our HardRock in on a new JLU Rubicon with the 2.0. Thinking this one will be Smalls 2.0. lol

[@nosburn428]

I love the retro styling of the hoodies!

[@fyrfyter81]

Two of my favorite Jeep KZbinrs together.

[@SCWanderer]

I have officially come full circle. A buddy turned me on to Trail Recon barely over a month ago. I watched all his videos from the first. I got to this point where he introduced me to you guys and now I have watched all of your videos. Both of your channels preach to me get get my ass outdoors and live, but you keep making these great videos to keep me planted. While we don't have the rock crawling vastness like out west, the Blue Ridge mountains offer a fantastic fun time. I know you're going to enjoy Windrock- I have. Hope to see you there!

[@TheKillerMarine]

Glad to see Brad Wheeling with you guys! Maybe one day I'll take my Ram and wheel with you guys! As for the bags coming from a Marine here are the basic categories (assuming you want a bug out bag): Trauma (First Aid), Food, Tools, Water (including purification), ways to carry that water, cooking (stove), and Survival (emergency blankets, way to signal for help, etc). To more categories I included in mine are Signaling and Lighting/Charging. A simple rule to remember is two is one and one is none. So an example is carry to knives because if one breaks you still have one. These are broad categories because you really have to tailor them to you. Seeing you have a dog you bed more water and food for her as well.

[@LiteBrite]

TheKillerMarine I don’t think anyone has mentioned including extras for Jelly yet! Thank you!

[@TheKillerMarine]

@@LiteBrite You are welcome! I run a 72 hr bag (commonly called a Bug Out Bag or BOB for short) in all my vehicles just because of breaking down. Plus in the Marines we had one. So I am pretty experienced lol

[@philiphannum4211]

You need these things in whatever form they may take for you: 1: Shelter or the basic things to make shelter 2: Water or a way to collect and purify water 3: Food (there are many long term storage food items available out there) With these basic things you will be able to survive for quite a while. Beyond this a medical kit would be useful as well. Some other items to consider: 1: A way to make fire 2: Flashlight and batteries 3: A good sturdy knife for cutting small wood 4: Large knife 5: Foldable saw 6: Depending on the weather, clothing for the conditions you are in 7: Communication equipment for making phone calls 8: Signal mirror 9: A good map of the area you are traveling through That is my list and what I would put in a bag like that.

[@onawhim7737]

Can't believe you guys wheeled with Brad and the gang from TrailRecon... Awesome! Way cool! I love Brad's videos. The way he weaves the story and the videography... My god! I'm so jealous that you had this chance. I know it's not what you're used to but overlanding I think is the way to go. The best of both worlds. I know, you're both young and a bit crazy but hey, as you found out the boys of TrailRecon know how to party! Thanks for sharing.

[@67wildwolf]

2 of my favorite channels hitting the trails together was fantastic. As for those bags. In my jeeps go bag the very 1st thing I put in it was a really good 1st aide kit...it's more a trauma kit than a normal 1st aide kit. Then I added 2 solar blankets.

[@groberts1980]

So great seeing two of my favorite KZbin channels crossing over! I just watched TrailRecon's video and then got to this one. 72 hour pack: first aid kit and trauma kit - they are different things, I would have both. Multiple fire starting devices: matches, lighter, fire steel. Emergency survival food. Life Straw water bottles - I think these are more practical than a stand alone Life Straw. Cold weather gear: gloves, beanie, extra pairs of pants, hoodie, etc. Compass. Flashlights & batteries.

[@tjshine8022]

What a great surprise to see you guys hooked up with Brad Trail Recon! First up, Hi Jelly Bean!, second...for your "ICE" bag (In Case of Emergency), Small Axe, E-Tool, Fixed Blade Knife, Trauma Kit, Fire Starter kit (a ziplock of dryer lint, 2 Bic Lighters, 1 Flint Steel) Nitrile Gloves, solar charger for cell phones... Just for starters. On your way home, just north of Mojave on Hyw 14 is JawBone Canyon, you will LOVE it!

[@AngelRodriguez111]

I noticed ever since you took my advice and stopped pimping out your wife and focusing on quality content your subs have almost doubled. Keep up the awesome work, great videos have been coming out lately! Your channel has recently become one of my favs and your rig is looking sweet bro!

[@jpjerome]

what to put in the 72h bag! Life straw (water filtration) compass, map, knife, small axe, flintstone and/or water proof matches, flash lights and spare batteries, power brick for cell phone, Handheld gps, 1 warm jacket but not hoodie type, get the performance stuff its much thinner and lighter, 1 or 2 pairs of socks (nothing worst than having wet cold feet, they blister way faster too) roll of paracord, mirror, protein bars, dehydrated food pouch (military style or not) optional as you can survive at least a week without eating, Water (double it for desert situations), whistle, a good first aid kit (not the ones you buy but build one up with trauma grade pads and stitching kit) if you dont know how to do stitches, you will learn! LOL may have forgotten a few things but that looks like it. your new partner should know what is missing as he has been through extensive training! cheers guys!

[@kenedick9300]

Ham radio, medications, dog food and water, toilet paper

[@mikef5716]

Awesome Video Guys!! Love the company you're rolling with

[@tboruff73]

You guys are living the dream! So many cool places, trails and people. What a cool life you guys are living! You have a fantastic rig that just keeps getting better and better, although....my wish list keeps getting more and more expensive because of it. lol. Another great video...and of course, the two best Jeep related channels on KZbin getting together is awesome!

[@OVRLNDX]

I’m loving those Patagonia’s !!!

[@OVRLNDX]

Kevin Williams I can see that!! Those have claws!!!

[@OVRLNDX]

I like that!!

[@drewd.2232]

One of your best videos. Like Brad you guys just keep it real on your channel and enjoy yourselves. Keep it up! Doesn’t hurt to have a great Chef along on a trip either. Those steaks looked good.

[@2cents422]

Water, MRE, FA Kit, parka, wubee, solar blanket, dry socks, lighters/WP matches/fire starter, a few gallon zip lock bags, comm. radio with extra batteries, compass + map, something to cut with, something to chop with, utility knife, 100ft 550 cord, 100ft fishing line, toilet paper/baby wipes, a Life Straw and a few "nips" of whatever strong liquor you prefer. You should be set to handle almost anything that comes your way with these things. And be able to achieve a reasonable amount of comfort if your forced to use in a bad situation. I love your channel and hope to wheel with you guys sometime here in CO.

[@swarbrickjesse]

Best channels on KZbin. Awesome to a see collaboration with Brad at Trail Recon. Keep up the GREAT work guys!

[@NOWELLSBLESSEDADVENTURES]

Nice to see you and Trail Recon wheeling together.

[@badkarma2269]

Brad at TR is awesome, look forward to all his videos!

[@JedWunderli]

Great vid. For the pack, I would recommend a great first aid kit, a good fixed-blade knife, a folding knife / multi-tool, a couple of flashlights (always got to have a back-up - 1 is none and 2 is one), fire starting kit, water filter, de-hydrated food, and something for self defense (gun, pepper spray, and such). I also like carrying a bit of extra clothes - socks, base layer, that kind of stuff.

[@scottfletcher199]

Awesome seeing you with Trail Recon! BSafe!

[@kangarhew1954]

Fire, and water filtration are two of the most useful things in a 72 hour bag. The little striker fire starters are great, but I highly recommend a couple of bic lighters. They take up no space, are light, and with two of them you have no worries of shortage of fire, or if something happens to one.

[@ShawnBrezny]

Enjoyed the channel colab with TrailRecon. Would love to see more colabs like this with other Jeep/Auto channels down the road, would be fun!

[@jpjerome]

Marco is a great cook! seen him in many videos and always gets me hungry lol Trail Recon has nice tips and tricks to customize your jeep, gotta love overlanding! cool ride along!

[@paulchristiansen8515]

should have his cooking show..called cooking on trails..

[@omargaidi9698]

Brad is a great dude, but Marco is insanely great 🍜🍝🍠🍢🍣🍤🍡🍖🥩🍗🍟

[@garylund5834]

Marco is too cool!

[@henryi9738]

"calculated unnecessary risks" - gotta love it ! :D

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

It's a good description though. 😃

[@firefighteruppy9121]

That needs to be on a t-shirt

[@takayama1638]

That’s what we like, a bit different ways of 4 wheelers. venture4wd, y’all, Ko-yote Work, TrailRecon, 4wheeladventure (Andrew St. Pierre White), Ronny Dahl, and more, I watch and love y’all all. Ok, I pause again at 21 minute to say... I GO WITH MARCO!! Y’all give such a good feeling! Thanks !

[@MrFishstxx]

So cool to see you and Trailrecon! I love his channel too!

[@lesszabo5625]

Definitely one of your best videos, awesome to see you and Brad wheeling overland style and the trail chef is also an amazing individual. If anyone can give you the low down on what you need in your 72hr. pack, it's the guys you're with on the trail with. Keep those awesome videos coming, and be safe.

[@MACzerofourtwo]

Cool to watch 2 of my favorite channels out on the trail. 👍

[@Gray_Wolf33]

Yes!!!!! My two favorite KZbin channels in one video 😆👌🏻👍🏻💪🏻

[@301steady]

I totally agree with not getting a roof top tent. I used to think I wanted one; but, last year at TDS, I was glad I didn't have one; because, of the high winds. My $30 tent worked great and I moved it behind my Jeep to escape the wind. I was surprised when I found out TrailRecon & I did simultaneous, polar opposite Mojave runs, a few weeks ago. Ours was light and fast. There's was slower and heavy. We had fun. They had fun. Just different approaches. Way different.

[@elchile007]

Two of the best you tubers of jeep together! Amazing 😍

[@grein46087]

Love you guys and Really like the Michael/pepe addition really adds to the team completeness . This was a great video with Brad from Trail Recon

[@charlesbeke5536]

That would be an awesome weekend. A little overlanding mixed with a little rock crawling. Sign me up!!

[@BobLionel]

I keep a pretty broad list of stuff in my 72 hr bag. Fire starting stuff, Water treatment (chemical and filtration - even a lifestraw is handy). Good fixed blade knife, multitool, small roll duck tape, small first aid kit, Flashlight with rechargeable batteries, charger, 50 watt foldable solar panel, burner phone, some millenium bars, dehydrated food for 3 days, Survival paracord, woobie, radio, sunscreen and bugspray. compressible sleeping bag. .22 pistol and 300rds of ammo.

[@ppcsurfr]

Nice to see Lite Brite and TrailRecon together.

[@ctempleii]

Another awesome video. I'm glad to see you collaborate with TrailRecon and OverlandX. You should have a sticker/badge that says Lite Brite approved

[@ctempleii]

Is there going to be a collab with Wayalife in the future? I'd really like to see that!

[@badlandseditionfjcruiser2531]

Your JLU Rubicon conquered that trail like a boss, Brittany. 😊😊💙💙

[@believerscc]

you could add weights to the frame, increase horsepower, a little wider on tires and axles to offset the higher COG. I believe in ya'll. Put a few flasks of whiskey in the 72 hour bags. Great Video!!!

[@kingbowman5226]

As always, great video. Good to see your brother, Justin and Jelly along. My suggestion is to include a compass, a "space blanket" or 2. A good quality (solid tang) survival knife, mirror, back up batteries for Ham Radio (trail recon guys all use small hams for radios because of improved distance). And of course a lot of the items suggested by others in this post. Thanks for the videos.

[@Ocd_rc]

You both rock my two favorite Jeep related you tube channels

[@wshnlc]

You guys are looking good in the San Diego desert sun! I think you need to come back more often! Some amazing trails here.

[@scottsmith3490]

Great match up.Two awesome channels and another great video

[@RobDTom]

Great to see you guys hook up with Brad at TrailRecon. I have to get out to Valley of the Moons trail!

[@donjernigan8119]

Love the video. It is great to see you and Brad wheeling together. Brad was the second KZbin I subscribed to. The first was a crazy blonde and her husband from when I saw the 5 things I hate. Love all of you.

[@onefastcyclist]

Great to see you-tubers get together having fun! We came to Overland from Backpacking so we have a good collection of small and light gear we've supplemented with table , chairs and a two burner stove. An Otter cooler keeps food cold for as long as a week and we bungy-cord everything down in our jeep. For traveling we use a 3-man dome tent that sets up about as fast as Trail Recon's roof tent but only weighs 5#!

[@gordis951]

I take things in my jeep already (tool bag, first aid kit, shovel, gloves, water) But for a pack to carry I'd want a tourniquet, quick clot packets, glow sticks, knives, compass, mirror/flashlights, water tablets/filters, emergency blankets, fire starting kits. Some type of containers for food or water, some type of dry food, solar battery charger. Air horn and bear spray. Some of these are still on my wish list!

[@chase9481]

Almost all my favorite Jeepers together! If I could, I would like this video more than once.

[@robertmarez3195]

Amazing video, great content as always... great seeing you guys wheeling with other youtubers... that alot of people know....awesome that you guys got to experience something different kind of wheeling....Yeaaa Jelly made a appearance.... looking forward to your next video.....Safe travels

[@wilddesertladiesvanlife4399]

Awesome you guys got together I've been watching his videos for a long time awesome that trail looks very easy. That's one of the we're going to check those Trails in Time.

[@trizz1303]

Another outstanding video and from my old stomping grounds of San Diego. It is great to see you, Kevin, and Michael wheeling with the other top wheelers. It shows the camaraderie of the off road family and how much fun it can be. You both are living like my motto...If you are going to be a bear, be a grizzly! Be safe, look forward to the next video

[@artd.]

For your 72hr pack, please include a Trauma kit not a first aid kit. First Aid is for bumps, small cuts and bruises. A Trauma is for, Stop the bleeding and compound fractures more, serious wounds these are available a Cabala's or Bass Pro Shops just a thought.

[@lubbahubba]

I bought first aid in bulk at dollar stores!

[@LiteBrite]

Art Deaton Definitely good advice!!

[@lbeatojk]

Overland Bound recently did a good video on what to include in a trauma kit. Might be a good starting point. Thanks for the videos, you guys are a blast to watch.

[@artd.]

Also you may want to look at motorcycle camping equipment as it is light and easy to pack same with mountaineering equipment but cheaper.

[@priestguardian2587]

TrailRecon and Lite Brite are my favorites :) Looks like the step child is finally off road ready and capable to run with the big guns with all the modifications you 2 have done to the Jeep. great video and see you on the trail again soon (from this side of my computer :)

[@clintlamrouex9866]

Love the skottle. I purchased after seeing Marco cook. Love his cooking. Love both channels. Lite Brite and trail recon... How can you go wrong.

[@brianh.4801]

Who doesn't love Brad's and both your channels?! Awesome video, glad to see the Jeeping KZbin community teaming up.

[@johntamulonis4626]

Great video again! Good combo LiteBrite and TrailRecon or LiteTrail and BriteRecon, great job!

[@slowpokewrangler8752]

I saw you guys at Costa Vida Mexican Restaurant in Hurricane, Utah. Was going to say Hi, but I didn't want to bug you. Now here you are in my neck of the woods(or desert). I've been on a couple of day runs with Brad. You are right , he's a great guy. Next time I will say Hi tho', love your video's, going to watch Brad's video now. Take care and be safe.....

[@htweelz]

Awesome! Two of my favorite Jeep channels doing a collab! Love both of you guys!

[@xX_Templar_Xx-1]

Good times!

[@ralphcasados8862]

Yea Marco's a bad @ss chef from what I've seen on video's to be sure and awesome rig, Brad and you all must have had fun :)

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

Great video AGAIN! I Would take the way the STEP CHILD is set up over most any other Jeep's I've seen in yours and Trail Recons videos! They have all been nice, however your rig ALWAYS seems to have a performance edge! I Like That! Keep up the great work!! Stay safe! Thank you!!!

[@murphsox1287]

My two favorite Jeep channels!

[@onawhim7737]

I agree Sean, two of the best!

[@Jaysonbroadsword]

I’m with everyone else in the comments, so cool to see these channels come together! Your stuff is consistently entertaining and awesome! Thank you!

[@michael9678727]

Lol I'm like you guys, I'm always under prepared but love wheeling the hard stuff! You guys should come to Australia and wheel with us one day..

[@hectorserrano7703]

Another great video, nice to see you guys trail riding with other KZbinrs now you got to hook up with Way of life.

[@richardtowne8709]

Love it! We've been watching yours and trailrecon's vids for a while now, we love both of your channels, awesome to see that you all have offroaded together now! Great stuff!

[@souledoutrc8174]

Wow what an amazing experience for both channels. I really enjoyed every minute of this video it was awesome and great seeing two outstanding channels collaborating on a Overland experience thanks for sharing

[@jaysanderson9916]

What to put on the bag....Emergency heat blanket, a foldable army shovel with a saw on it just incase you have to put out a fire or something, and a poncho incase you have to trail fix in the rain. don't want to be wet the rest of the day. Also did you see my comment on the air install video that I would gladly take the portable air compressor off your hands if you are willing to give it away. SAFE TRAVELS!

[@GUNDAM444]

Love your videos! They are always fun to watch! For emergency bags, I've found that duplicate function between items works best for me. For example a stove that uses gas or wood, or a cook pot that has a lid which doubles as a skillet (you know, in case you get in trouble with someone that can cook 😆)

[@beau9840]

Love this collab!!!! Who’s next?? Wayalife??? That would be awesome!

[@CavemanOutdoorsMissouri]

2 of my favorites together at last

[@ralphcasados8862]

for packs - water filters, dry food, medical basics - like bandages, ibuprofen, snacks and fruit, water, some lightweight clothes like jacket or blanket, knife, matches, I like small ax with hammer side and always a gun for varmints or critters that are unwanted.

[@landshark6810]

Absolutely LOVE the videos you guys do! I wouldn't call you stupid or crazy because you really haven't done anything that nobody else has already done! You are adventurous and and fun loving, and a really great couple!! Keep up the good work and God speed!

[@propaneaccessories44]

Just got my Lite Brite hoodie in the mail! It’s super cool!

[@marleymayfield2635]

How cool is this ? The 2 Jeepers I subscribe to together......it's all about adventure and entertainment.

[@MARC11B]

Great Collab. Brad channel is awesome as well.

[@craigv6888]

Thanks for making Great videos👍

[@crowell4training603]

This is my favorite Jeep channel, Keep it up. See you in Pa.

[@withintheglass2170]

He forgot to blow a kiss do all over again 😂great video! My favorite off-road KZbinrs by far

[@jimschmidt4089]

Another fantastic journey. With a Recon surprise! Keep company like that and they'll rub off on you some. Branching out in another direction for your Jeep adventures. Keep growing and don't lose the silliness, always entertaining.

[@outlaw9232]

I really enjoyed watching this. I'm a long time subscriber to Brad and TrailRecon! I'm jealous you got to wheel with him and Marco! Marco's cooking skills have become legendary. I'm still laughing at the opportunity to get "Jelly Kisses" LOL Great addition to the family. The Step Child just walks up obstacles now! Cheers from Castle Rock, Colorado!

[@abdokallab5996]

A seriously god collab. I want more!!
