Very dry Coppinger Cove TN, can we make it out without breaking?

[@dc-zw7cl]

Super cool Tacoma’s and 4Runner. That FJ looks tough. Keep the videos coming.

[@EverymanOverland]

@@dc-zw7cl thank you for watching, I'll keep the videos rolling..

[@markspinner7220]

That was a fun watch. Thanks. Def on my bucket list but have to drive over from Southeast MO

[@EverymanOverland]

Well we're in columbia, SC, so I'd guess the distance is similar for each of us. Totally worth the trip.

[@HectorjMaldonado]

Good stuff man! glad you could wheel and not too much bad news, keep it up!

[@EverymanOverland]

Ya janky only suffered new shapes in the skid plates... But that's what they're for. I'll pull em off and put them back to sorta straight one of these days... 😁

[@HectorjMaldonado]

@@EverymanOverland the persuaders always work well to straighten things out, lol

[@EverymanOverland]

@@HectorjMaldonado and a torch... 😉

[@RDOverland]

Awesome trail. Great video. 😊 I guess going by myself would not be wise 😅

[@EverymanOverland]

@@RDOverland ya, I wouldn't go to the cove alone. You should for sure go some time, but take some buddies.

[@mwallace021]

Heading there with the Alpha Whiskey ( Brent Mann and company) folks in November. So looking forward to it. I hope Steve Melton is well enough to join us then. Great video, thanks!

[@EverymanOverland]

@@mwallace021 I think I will be there for the Melton ride. It's not guaranteed yet, but so far it's the plan.

[@southrngungirl9904]

Great video! What a fun time with everyone. We love you, Kenny! 😂😂😂 - Kricket.

[@EverymanOverland]

Twas a great time!

[@ZenOverlanding]

That was a sweet trip! Subbed

[@EverymanOverland]

I appreciate it. Ya, that was a great trip, but all trips to the cove are the best ever...

[@williamdubois5453]

Was a great trip with great people

[@williamdubois5453]

Great trip great people

[@WolfOverland]

Man I want to go there in the rain season. It’s been too dry!

[@EverymanOverland]

Ya it rained overnight a bit, and on and off the last day that we ran bear pen. But it was crazy dry for the cove. Never seen the water that low.

[@Mudcon]

Isn't the top of Bear Pen blocked off now? I heard it was.... what did yall see?

[@EverymanOverland]

No. We drove all the way through to the road out the top end. I didn't see any evidence of it being closed. But this was recorded in early May. So it's possible something has happened since then that I'm unaware of...

[@jeffreyarmas1548]

hey nice video ! what time of the year did you make this trip that it was so dry ? we are planing to go Ober there in September

[@EverymanOverland]

@@jeffreyarmas1548 thank you! I appreciate you watching... We just made this trip in early May. September I would expect to have more water. Obviously more rain brings more water. If you've seen my other cove videos, or most anyone's cove video, you'll know that the name of the game there is water crossings and likely body damage. So go prepared, don't go alone, and you'll have an amazing trip. We have a very loose, tentative plan to go back in October if I remember correctly. There's a couple more trails out there that we haven't been to. What vehicle do you plan on taking?

[@jeffreyarmas1548]

@EverymanOverland nice, I'll be waiting for those videos nothing confirmed yet, but probably a fj cruiser , 4th gen 4runner , tacoma, xterra, gladiator, and 80 series land cruiser . We are driving from Florida, so we are trying to get as much information as possible so we don't miss the trip. I read online that the trail is permanently closed. do you know anything about this?

[@EverymanOverland]

@@jeffreyarmas1548 I've heard that it's closed, but I heard that 6 months ago and we're still going. I think the confusion is there's land owners around the cove that don't want people driving down their roads, so they're trying to close the roads. So I'll hear that certain entrances are closed, but I have yet to see that actually in effect. There's also coalmont ohv next door that has effectively closed off that area, though it's not gated. But if you're going to wheel the trails at coalmont, you should pay them their daily fee, they put a lot of work in. But no, this video was shot in May of 24, it's still very much open and accessible.

[@jeffreyarmas1548]

@@EverymanOverland mmmm ok ok , sso should be ok with a good map of public land / private property to avoid that issue with the "trail closed"? what do you think is the best (fun) trail to get to the cove ? from south (the church) or from north (almont)? we like rivers, to swim and to do the rivers crossings I really really appreciate your help

[@EverymanOverland]

@@jeffreyarmas1548 ya. Shoot me your email and I'll send you my gpx files of the area. Look me up on Facebook, Everyman Overland, and messenger me. So we don't have to share our email addresses with the whole world... 👍

[@redbeastadventures]

Great video. What drone would you get?

[@EverymanOverland]

I don't have one... Yet... That footage was from Lewis, and he'd have to tell you but I think it's a dji mini 3 pro.

[@EverymanOverland]

And thank you for the kind words...

[@EverymanOverland]

My beautiful wife pointed out that I read that wrong... What drone WOULD I get... I think the mini 3pro or the mini 4pro would be my choice. Small, light and easy to operate.

[@redbeastadventures]

@@EverymanOverland 🤣🤣 I figured your answer might be the same as the drone that was used.

[@DaddyBusAdventures]

No $.H.I.T, gladiator on 40s is cheating. Where is the fun in that, lol, Awesome video.
