I am from the mediterainian, so fruits and nuts certainly go together. Apart from the great taste, the nuts reduce the sugar spikes in the blood from the fructose. So very healthy combo.

I'm a big fan in general, but this is the best video you've ever made. Your marriage was really the star of the show. Over the years, I've loved watching Regina learn to love our sport. (And please help -- does she spell it with an "i" or an "e," I keep seeing both . . .) My partner Michelle (foolishly) agrees with you, Brad, about fruit mixed in with a meal, but I side with Regina, who is obviously the smarter of the two of you. :) Thanks for all the fun and inspiration! Maybe we'll run into you here in the Anza-Borrego one of these days.

Where would I go to see a list of all of your current gear? Thanks in advance for your info. I really appreciate your videos. Very professional and well thought out. Can I find a place where your trailer is detailed out. Maybe there’s a video on it.

[@yellowhorse52]

Okay I'm not a off-roader but I still enjoy watching everyone doing remarkable things with the roadway. My question,( might be a real novice question) why do you deflate the tires before traveling over rocks? and how low is too low, is there a formula to follow? Great videos by the way, I really enjoy them! MMakes me want to buy a Jeep.

[@stevensoutdoors]

"airing down" the tires serves two purposes: 1. increased traction, as the tire has a larger footprint in contact with the ground, and can more easily contour itself around rocks irregularities, and 2. increased comfort when driving over very bumpy roads when you're only going between, say, 5 and 30mph. Reduced pressure is more art than science and highly dependent on speed of travel, vehicle weight, and size of tire. In general, larger tires can go to lower pressures. For myself, I most often air down to around 15psi.

[@regenakowitz]

Do it! Get a Jeep and join the community. 😊

Thank you Steve's outdoors for a great answer. I appreciate it.

Brad, if I may ask, any reason you chose to take the Jeep and trailer vs the Power Wagon and camper?

[@scottcroberts]

Brad, as a fellow 392 owner, I'm curious to if you have plans to add AUX power. Currently I'm running a KC Pro6 (wired to AUX 3) and a Dometic running off the 12V port in the rear of the Jeep. I've found myself with a drained battery on 2 occasions... I'm gonna go ahead and just permanently mount my Jackery 1000 as primary power for the Dometic and only charge it while the Jeep is running. I also see you added some rear lights...

[@JosephVAmaya]

Brad u need to add to your videos fishing, especially in Idaho.

[@roninrisin]

Are there any vids of Brad fishing ever? I've seen quite a few vids but just wondering if Brad ever fishes....a spot like this one on the river is just perfect to always have a rod no?
