Also keep an eye out for Eric of Nomadic Fanatic and Slim Potatohead from Canada. You guys are the elite 4 I watch faithfully! Also really love the backing the trailer down the trail part, would have made a truck driver blush. Great job!

    Great video. Kofa and the surrounding BLM land has become my favorite Arizona winter trail system. Once deep into it, you may go days without seeing anyone (except perhaps random UA-cam celebrities, lol). Definitely a beautiful and rugged area. I hope this was just the first part of more in Kofa.

    I don’t see how you guys with trailers do it. I came from the RV world and having just a vehicle makes things so simple - which is why overlanding is so appealing to me. Add a trailer and it quickly becomes work and too much stuff. JMHO

    Definitely not a secret.. in a lot of off road books. A lot of folks began to avoid it because cartels were robbing campers in the areas for supplies to get back to mexico after making a drop. There's some great terrain in the area for all capabilities.. wonderful history, and tons of animals. Keep your eye out for flat tire booby traps, they are placed along the roads there often by "environmentalist"
