We're an adventure-seeking couple always looking to travel further off the beaten trail. With our Tacoma 'Pete' we explore the southwest and beyond, hoping to find peace and solitude in wilderness settings. Tune in for trip reports, truck build updates, and gear reviews of products that make our lives on the trail more comfortable. Full time traveling since July 2022, currently headed south to Central America.
De La Gente Coffee Tour - San Miguel Escobar, Guatemala
It's been a few months since we last posted from the trip, but we're very happy to be back! In this episode from Guatemala, we take a tour of a few coffee farms from a co-op outside of Antigua in the small village of San Miguel Escobar. The village and farming plots lie on the slopes of the huge Volcan de Agua. The entire process of growing organic coffee is described to us from seed collecting to grow new trees through cultivation and harvesting of the beans. We also get to see how coffee has been processed traditionally in Guatemala into the drink we all love.

Did you miss wilbanks cabin? It’s the coolest of the cabins on that trail
We did! Guess we have to go back
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video on Guatemala which is such a beautiful country and people and thanks for posting this 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
Zach, I enjoy your videos! You inspire me. Keep it up.
and in canada its 8 to 9 dollars a gallon.............
Warning: the Hite gas station has been closed every time I’ve checked on it. Get your gas in Hanksville. I’ve read on the Internet that the gas station and BLM are in squabble.
Just finished my 4th year here, love driving in with my ram 2500 :) we do 11 nights usually
Enjoyed your video! You are hearty explorers. Couple things...it's pronounced pah-ree-uh. Also, drones are illegal in all national park units, including Alstrom Point at Glen Canyon NRA. FYI. Keep enjoying your public lands! Just make sure you follow the rules. - Ranger Jeremy
*Promo SM* 😕
Those dogs are so cute. Hope someone doesn't take them
They have a great home at the RV park, and they get to meet new travelers all the time!
“Brain what are we doing today?” “What we do everyday Pinkie…”
This is the dream
Some of my favorite beans! You guys are great; thanks for sharing!
Really great coffee. Trying to find it in the States!
Jerry!!!!@ 25:24 Headed this way in 6 weeks.
I'll be in the area in a couple of months. Can you share where on the Green River that last part of the video is filmed?
Beautiful rig
music too loud compared to dialogue.
First video. Audio is tough
😂🤣Love how Xmas was spent. My favorite Xmas of all time: the hubby and I spent Xmas 2020 paddling the Everglades Wilderness Waterway. With swamp and ocean and alligators and crocodiles and manatees and dolphins and sharks and lotsa birds, oh my! It was fantastic! Also feeling synchronicity again: we live near Durango; grew up in AZ. Highly recommend y'all do some off-roading near here/Ouray if you haven't yet.😊 The CO Rockies are magnificent!😍
Love your channel, you guys win so far. I'll be travelling down/up Baja from CO starting in a few weeks. Solo, except our 80# mastiff mix. My husband "would be more comfortable" if I take our 2015 Taco. But a huge part of me really wants to do it in my 2013 manual Volvo C30. Y'all are convincing me to take the Taco. But I'm wondering if that should just be for when he and I go together?🤔 You all adventure/camp like he and I do.❤ Would love your advice. Tough life choices here, obviously.😂
how can i get in contact with the owner of the silver taco love the rear suspension and hc bumper
Send a message on Instagram to @a_tracalex
@@FurthurOffRoad wish I had an instagram
i have questioins about the rear end job on the tacoma looking to do the same set up very inspiring
Man I wish I knew all Alex did on this. Pretty sure he had extended shackles, relocated shock mounts and I believe 14” travel shocks. You can hit him up on IG at @a_tracalex
So beautiful everything guys just enjoy your trip at my beautiful Guatemala
I'm surprised this video didn't show the next hazard after the one at 13 minutes. Made it through it the 13 minute problem, but about 1/4 mile or so past that it was too steep & I just spun wheels so I turned around. I eventually ended up camping at Maze Overlook.
The video is super long as-is. I’m guessing the next obstacle just had to get cut for time… Sorry you didn’t make it all the way. The trail changes character maybe three or four times. Still one of our favorites in the area.
Taco factory FTW!!
Your videos are awesome, kept the old lady quite for the entire segments.
I'm follows you when you change de battery in Rio Gallegos
Thanks!
Excellent video, im originally from Mexicali and still found out a lot new places in Baja
Tecate police is known for that.
We are hearing this more and more
Super trip. Fantastic views, beautiful landscapes. Great to watch your video
Glad you enjoyed it!
It really is the most beautiful lake in the whole world 🌎😍Atitlan
WOOW FELICITACIONES POR EL VIDEO, TAN HERMOSOS DE MI LINDA GUATEMALA.
Hey , i love the maze , good video , but i hate showing the world 🌎 , ,
It’s a challenge for us as well.
I loved this video
Thanks! Much appreciated 🤙
Amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing. I love that Milky Way video section. Of course, the entire video was breath-taking.
Can you do a update video of how's its been performing ?any issues?
Don’t think that’ll be possible as we are currently in Argentina and Alex’s truck is in Tucson. You can follow Alex on Insta @a_tracalex
Ok NM
Well done video 🤩 of Antigua Guatemala, we have been in this nice and lovely city and tomorrow we will to post the video on our channel! Thanks for sharing the videos 😍 Cheers
Great to see your still well and at it! We met in Guanajato, MX Had a beer listening to dogs.…. love to see your progress. BTW, I sure understand your decision to spend less time making vids, and more time taking in life! Kudo’s friends.
Nice to hear from you! We enjoyed meeting you guys very much. We didn’t fully realize what this trip would mean to us back then. We were such noobs! We’ll continue the video series soon. We have a huge amount of footage to comb through from the past year.
One of our favorites .
What documents do you have to have to get into Central America?
Depends if you are traveling by car or not. For yourself you typically only need a passport. For the vehicle we have only needed the title and registration, and sometimes proof of insurance (from the country you will be traveling in).
Great to have you back and share your adventures with us all!! Totally understand your reasons for scaling back some of the content..
Nice to see your smiling faces again on here. Now I miss Antigua too. Such a beautiful city. Thanks for sharing what you saw in the museums. :)
Absolutely! Hope you guys are doing well!
Love you. Happy to see you in real time. Blessings.
Good to see you guys back. You’re one of the few remaining overland type channels I follow now.
Thanks Jon! Appreciate it very much
Great job taking yourselves first! Excited to see your videos as you share them! Your videos are absolutely beautifully done! ❤❤
Thanks so much!
What??? You’re super far behind!!!! You guys suuuuuuck!!!! 😜😜😜
Love you guys!
Glad to be your first haters. ❤@@FurthurOffRoad
LOL as they say, "Let the hate flow..."
what gears, lockers, bumper/winch, how is it on the highway, mileage is this his daily driver
4.88s Factory rear E-locker Pelfreybilt bumpers Not sure what winch Drives excellent on the highway Not his daily
Guadalajara is a nice city, but WAY TOO BIG for me
Yeah, it’s a giant place. We took an Uber across town and it took two hours!
I want to go see that really big pyramid called Chicken Pizza. Strange name for a pyramid! But seriously, if you get down to Oaxaca, check out Monte Alban. Very impressive.
this is the second time a youtuber has reported a broken ICON part on the top of the coilover. at the prices they charge for those, this kind of think should only happen to racers.
Agree 100%. We also discovered a broken upper control arm when we were in Panama. Replaced both with Dobinson’s.
so, did you pay the bribe?
Nope. We never do in Mexico or anywhere else 😆
How did you guys get the stock bushings out of the mar rack and replace with the included bushing insert dealy? I’ve been having a nightmare of a time getting mine out.
We had to burn them out, very carefully 😉
@@FurthurOffRoad That’s what I ended up doing as well in the end. It’s getting chilly here in Alaska and I don’t have a shop, so I think the outer sleeves of the bushing were frozen in there pretty good. Ended up doing a combination of heat and air hammer.
