Such an amazing time!

I use them for 2 reasons. 1. It’s a weight distribution system so it helps prevent the rear of the car from sagging. 2. It keeps the Subaru & Cricket in unison. Handling is improved. 3. No trailer sway in windy conditions or when other vehicles might blow by on the highway. ***Key thing is that I actually sway hitches when I get off road.

@@ThatGuyOutdoors interesting - yeah I knew about the sway. Asking because, I’m looking to get the exact same set up! I’m watching loads of videos, reading, and was glad to find your channel. I would probably travel more northern US and Canada than maybe you R doing. I’m originally from ND. Would you still recommend the Wilderness for pulling that trailer? >>> Rockies, E and W coast of Canada,…etc.? Thx you the recommendations.

@@davidkrueger3152 Absolutely I’d recommend the Outback! I’ve been extremely impressed & happy with it. My first choice was a Tacoma but I’m glad I went with my gut of the Outback.

@@ThatGuyOutdoors okay thanks - one last thing. So on your travels, you were happy with pulling over a mountain pass with a steep grade?

@davidkrueger3152 I LOVE steep grades. I found with the Subaru I can still accelerate up the hills with ease. 🤓 pulling up hill through the North Cascades not only accelerating but the handling is amazing!

Yes!! 🙌 Gradually I’ve made the wonderful quiet moments more frequent. 😌

It’s the Standard version. I would highly recommend the Overland version if you’re doing some Overlanding. Not that the standard version isn’t fully capable, just that it’s harder on the axel & suspension plus the articulating hitch is awesome for off roading. 🤓

@@ThatGuyOutdoors Did you upgrade the rear suspension for the tongue weight on the standard?

Mine is NOT the overland version… That being said, I 💯 recommend getting the overland version. Just the suspension & articulating hitch is KEY if you’re doing Baja. 🤓 Again NOT required, but will definitely be way less stressful & probably break less stuff. 🤣 Feel free to reach out anytime!!

@@ThatGuyOutdoors THAT IS GREAT INFORMATION! Thank you. If you ever get to baja again, come down and camp on our upper lot.

@webofsupport I’ll be headed back down in December. 😁 Planning to do “The Road Less Traveled To Escapar A La Baja” Off Road from San Felipe to La Paz. 🥸 🤪

@@ThatGuyOutdoors I rode a tandem bike down Baja, from Tecate to Cabo in 1993. Great memories for sure. Different times. I have paddled, boated, walked, hike, bicycled all over baja since 1986. Yes, it has changed. And, no it hasn't. Depends where you are, and who you are talking to.

@@ThatGuyOutdoors Enjoy! Van Life's version of Burning Man. ;-)

That’s AWESOME! I’ll be in the area here through the end of April! You should totally come check out Weird Wild West in Bisbee April 18-22. I’ll be there with a ton of cool stuff going on! 😁

@ThatGuyOutdoors Well CRAP!! Believe me, I would absolutely LOVE that, but I'm actually starting my first thru hike adventure on the 8th, and hitting the Arizona Trail. If some time between now, and then, if there's anything you doing, I would freaking love to come watch!! As far as day, and time, that won't be a problem, I'm a disabled combat veteran, and have nothing but time on my hands. For real though, when I came up behind you, and recognized who you were, I was like a giddy little school girl.

@ThatGuyOutdoors you were actually my inspiration for taking my Ford Explorer, and and converting it to a camper. And traveling across the United states, just going from adventure to adventure. I wish I could afford like one of those little teardrop tow behind campers, but it ain't in the cards. Me and my dad we'll be doing the conversion ourselves, so it won't be too expensive.

It’s not about the fancy stuff. I actually started traveling in my Mazda 3 Hatchback before I was in the Cricket. It’s about the journey & enjoyment along the way. Plus your build will be amazing especially the journey doing it with your Dad. 😁

lol. Yeah it was a bit of a play on words since it was the emergency brakes that were the problem. 🤪🤓🤣 A little Dad humor. I’ll probably change it. I’ve received a ton of messages about it. 🥸

It was somewhat easy to head up just to start planning for the trip back in December. 🙃

@@ThatGuyOutdoors I’m always there for the holidays

It’s FunWaterSUP. 🤓

It was a pleasure getting to hang with you & Hadley! 😁🐶🐾

I'm sorry you've been so mislead. I have been traveling around Mexico with several other solo nomads & we all feel the same way. MEXICO IS SAFE! Serving many years in the US Army, including in combat, I will tell you that I PERSONALLY feel that traveling in Baja California & Baja California Sur has felt more welcoming & safer than many areas I have traveled in the past. Instead of watching something like Borderland Beat with an agenda, I'd recommend getting out and traveling to see for yourself. :) Best wishes and safe travels!

LOL mexico is wayyyy safer than the US. get out and see for yourself instead of watching the news 😅😘🫶🏻

I've lived in multiple parts of Mexico and visited even more (remote, rural, and urban included) and haven't had any issues. People seem to get scared about going to Mexico because of a few things others have experienced.. Guess what, we have that in the US, too. But it's so commonplace in the States and the country news is so isolated to a specific city/area that news reports don't make it nationwide typically. Definitely would recommend getting out there and experiencing it for yourself with an open mind. You'd be surprised at how wonderful Mexico is and how welcoming Mexican folk are.

Between being in Mexico and Guatemala, I haven't been back to the states in well over a year; I've had no real issues in that time. Friends, family, and some outdoors stuff aside, I have nothing really compelling me to return. Honestly, I'd rather not for the foreseeable future. Not that I dislike my own country by any means; it's just that there's also a ton of wonderful things about Latin America. Also, Mexico is a big country, with 127 million people in it, and a variety of different cultures and living conditions. There is no one way the whole country is. Avoiding the whole of Mexico because of some random TV show would be like saying don't go to La Jolla because you saw some bad news from east Detroit. Just like most places, there are good spots and bad, good people and bad.

🤣 you have obviously never been to baja. It is safer than a lot of places in the lower 48. Not all what you watch in TV or the internet is real. Bad things happen everywhere,. Stop trolling the interwebs and get out of your house. Fear is the worst way to live your life. But also.... never mind. You are 100% correct. You shouldn't come here. We and the local hispanics don't need your sheltered, bigotry way of thinking

🤣🤣🤣 if that were the case, I’d be on a yacht 🛥️ 😝

Thank you! 🙏 I’m working on trying to see if I can do some work with @taxaoutdoors 🤓🙏🤪

Thank you! I’ve got to start sourcing some new music without violating copyright laws. 😂🤓

It was so awesome! 🐋

Great times! 😁🤩

A truly unforgettable experience! 🥳

It was absolutely amazing! I will continue to go EVERY year!

It’s the perfect size! 🤓

Thanks 🙏 Happy Trails! 😁🤓

There’s actually more to come in next week’s video! 🤓

Thanks! It was such a great time!! Can't wait till next year! Although, Weird Wild West is next! 🤠

He’s amazing! 🥰

He’s absolutely the best! 🤓🥰

💯 They will be reunited today!! 🥰

Already looking forward to Escapar 2025! 😎 But first… Weird Wild West!!

It was great meeting you! Thank you for the rig tour. The Huckleberry

Rona is 💯 LEGENDARY! 😎

Thank you for the guidance! 😁

Sorry I missed you guys this weekend! Sent the weekend in Cerritos. I’ll catch up with you guys soon. 🥰🤓

Thanks! 😁

I 💯 respect that. You are correct it is Baja California & Baja California Sur. Often referred to as the Baja Peninsula. The title was simply shortened to Baja due to the limit on charters. 🤓😁 🇲🇽

My first suggestion is to join Talk Baja on Instagram & the Facebook group. Next, start listening to the Baja Slow podcast. Finally, go to www.thejournaloflosttime.com go to the events section & look at the Escapar a la Baja event…then join the WhatsApp chat. ALL of these sources are what I personally believe to be the ultimate Baja sources. Including finding folks to caravan with. 😁🤓

Thank you.@@ThatGuyOutdoors

Great video, neighbor! We are the green skoolie (Huckleberry), and we would love to see the cricket. You have great drone footage. 🎉

Thank you for the offer. I’m organically growing the channel and prefer to keep it that way. I’m also doing the work personally. As I continue to grow my filming, editing, & story telling skills. I am also starting to work on my title, description writing, & thumbnail creation. 😁🤓

Thank you! 😁 1. No leak issues. I’ve been extremely happy with my Cricket. That said, it is still something that requires attention AS DO ALL vehicles. 🤓 I have had to replace about 3-4 rivets so far. Keep in mind that’s about 40k miles. 🤪 2. I’ve had no issues with off road… it IS my home, so I don’t try driving 20 mph on a Baja off road. I will say that I have definitely been thinking about upgrading to the Overland suspension & the articulating hitch. So, if you’re looking at the Cricket & think you’ll spend as much time or more off road then I’d get the Overland. Just my opinion though. 😎

Love this! Thank you for sharing! Also, KB is an inspiration herself! 😁

Thank you! 😊

Absolutely! That should be coming in a few weeks! 😁🙃

@@ThatGuyOutdoors Awesome! I'm completely stuck between choosing the Cricket or choosing a Mantis.

@@MarkChartier-n7j BOTH are amazing products! I’d definitely say the major difference would depend on your needs / preferences for what you’re intended use is. If you want to discuss more about them message me on Instagram @that_guy_outdoors I can also put you in touch directly with a Taxa rep that can help answer more too. 😁🙃 They have an amazing team.

That’s right! Mike & Halle Land. 🙃

Yoga with Adriene is what I do. 🙃

I have run the A/C with this one. I have the 2000 Pro. It’s not going to run for days. But enough to cut humidity & edge of heat in peak of day.
