- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- The Croft Family heads out on their own Solo Series for a much needed month-long, overlanding adventure in their home state of Montana. The trip starts in Yaak, Montana - a land of Sasquatch's, trees and beautiful rivers. Next, there is a very special place in Eureka, Montana, that Clay and Rachelle wish to share with their boys… as long as they can remember where to find it! And you won’t want to miss an up-close look at the co-stars of this adventure: an 2018 AEV Prospector, a Polaris General XP 1000, and a Patriot Campers TH610 Toy Hauler. #xoverland #croftsoloseries #familyoverland

Thank you all for joining us in our family adventure!
Love the short bits where the kids talk about enjoying their time. I love the family aspect, and really hope to see more family-based overlanding trips. I think this is the new thing moving forward and I hope you guys are the industry standard for that as well!
Thanks for sharing!
I love that you gave the boys opportunity to narrate and used their camera footage. That does more for their confidence than just filming them and giving them good experiences like that.
Clay, I applaud you. You are truly living the dream.
Wow! We really enjoyed watching this episode!! Family time is everything. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Aww, look at those flashbacks and baby Clay and Rachelle, so cute. Epic adventures as always - the dream setup for sure!
Aahhh thanks Mike! We were babies for sure!!
Gotta make the tremor into that!
The Croft’s were made for this! It’s inspiring when people are called to something, it’s a calling, that every human yearns for.
There's so many beautiful places to explore here in Montana. This is an adventure your boys will never forget
I have 3 kids....it drives my vehicle choice and gear choices for sure. It's awesome to see you guys do family videos.
Camp with your kids whenever you can. I still remember camping with my parents and I am in my 60's! One of your best videos!
Stuff like this makes me grateful for the internet. Grateful for the witness of your family.
Hey Clay, you’re doing it right man.
Thanks John!
Best series of Expedition Overland yet. Nothing like investing in the future generation. Wishing you many safe travels to come. God bless.
This is the best series on UA-cam and needs to be on Netflix or something.
Thank you!
This was the first video I've seen from you, even though I've heard many people talk about your channel. I must say, you are living my dream life, and if after 17 years she is still your best friend, THAT is your true blessing!
God bless you and your family and thank you for doing what you do.
Congratulations, Clay and Rachelle...seventeen years of marriage and friendship; and three handsome boys. What a great way to celebrate an anniversary. My wife and I celebrated our nineteenth this past December. I think we found the secret to a successful marriage...your prospective wife must also be your best friend.
Well seasoned family counselor here. It's looking good! Dad needs to relax a little. Love you guys!
Some of my best memories with my dad were sharing the outdoor experience together.
Great times, makes me realize that time with family are the best. Memories
Well done sir.
I remember in the Alaska/Yukon series while getting your haircut that you looked forward to taking your family out with you.
Blessed indeed. 🙏🏻
So wholesome
The storyline, the adventure, the production... all great and inspiring. Thanks for doing what you do guys (and gals)!
Man have I been looking forward to this one. You inspire me as a father sir.
Wow, thank you sir!
Wow!!! Wow!!! Wowsers!!!
This is the best education those boys will ever have. Learning from their parents directly, and nature itself, the way all our ancestors did for hundreds of thousands of years. They're learning how to be self-sufficient while also learning how to be a tight and strong family. Rather than sitting inside some room all day, wasting away and being unable to burn off their own natural energy, this is the best class room possible.
You all are doing it right. Plus you have one of the coolest rigs and set ups I've ever seen.
Thank you very much!
I wasn't expecting to get a lump in my throat when I clicked on the video this morning. Great work and even better family. Time for me to get busy making memories with my wife and kids.
I really enjoy watching this new series. Not trying to push or upselling any products like other UA-camr these days, but focus on life, family, and how the dream comes true. This is the reason why I'm still a fan of Expedition Overland. Thank you, Clay!
Thank you!
who knew that my desire to purchase a Tacoma would lead me to this channel, where I would then be inspired to be a better human for my own family. Even my wife loves watching these adventures. She says your channel is relaxing. Bravo! Thanks for sharing.
Stunning scenery! Nothing better than seeing the expression on your kids' faces when they catch their first fish!
Very touching tribute to your family. I think we all strive for the same thing for our children.
What a beautiful love story
After one episode I can tell this whole series is going to be amazing.
That’s an amazing rig and setup for exploring and long term traveling
What a beautiful story!! How come these videos are so underrated!!!!!
29:53: real blessing. extremely happy for you.
Such beautiful and heartfelt words to end with💫💝💫🐨
Absolutely Beautiful.....not even talking about the scenery. May God continue to bless your family! That's what it's ALL about! 💞
So much to appreciate. Production quality, storytelling , adventure, love of life and family. Such an inspiration....My new favorite channel. Hate that it took me so long to find it. Thank you.
Rider is such a cute kid, definitely a future overlander
As always... never disappointed. We did a 6 week trip this past fall and it’s a great reminder to keep making the right sacrifices.
So awesome you are raising your kids to be strong, independent, and confident! Beautiful family, beautiful adventure brotha! Keep it up, keep exploring! God bless!
Back from my trip and time to catch up! I am so excited! - Thank you so much for sharing this little piece of your guys life with us! Its a beautifully inspirational one!
Thank you for watching!
Great adventure for all the family. Beautiful nature and great equipment.
This was awesome Croft family! Nice editing Peter, Dan, and Caroline!
Tfw I've watched XO since I started college and finished. Y'all have come a long way!
Wow! Thank you!
Clay, I have to give you much gratitude for all the long hours you and your wonderful amazing team spend on filming, editing and creating such breathtaking content. I have watched several seasons of Expedition Overland on Amazon prime video as well as you videos here on UA-cam and I cannot help but feel the burning desire to one day be able to go on similar adventures through Montana, Canada and the Alaskan Frontier. Thanks to each one of your team members who have struggled and sacrifice to help you build your brand and make your dreams a reality to share with all of us at home. Keep the adventures going!
Divorce took my family away, and I spend time watching videos like these just to imagine how it would have been with my sons, Happy birthday to your son. I wrote this at the beginning of the video. Beautiful family.
lucky you boys, have a life like that..!!
❤️
Awesome to see a rig like this in action!!!
Watching this makes me want to rewind my life and raise my kids in a overland vehicle.
Awesome Job Guys, Really enjoyed seeing you guys out together. Lifelong memories being made right there.
What a dreamy adventure with these amazing toys! Have a great time out there!
perhaps the baddest ass camper build out there that is just awesome! I think I can speak for myself and most people, having the best of the best equipment is just incredible! everything I get is from your recommendation and time tested equipment.
What a fantastic life. Family life goals! Well done all 🤙
In the words of some famous guy.....alright alright alright!!!
Best piece of video content I’ve watched since COVID
God bless you and your Family !! stay safe and healthy
Clay and Rachelle, I love this.
You and your whole family are such a blessing to watch and experience life and nature with.
I'm touched and want more than ever to have similar moments like these with my own family.
Just thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much!
WoHoooo! I can't wait for this series. Montana is this years destination for my wife and I. Every year we spend all of our vacation time in one epic vehicle based expedition. This year, Montana is the plan, so I can't wait! Hopefully we can write down a few spots to check out.
Smile on my face the whole time watching! :D
Awesome! Thanks Jillian!
This is what's it's all about... we should be working to live, not living to work. Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure with us, it's very inspiring.
Thank you!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Really nice to see the places you visited.
Now that’s some adventuring. Awesome vidEO family
Wow awesome family time overlanding you guys rock
This is the best channel that I have ever found!!
I accidentally found it through Amazon Prime. After I watched all three of those seasons I found this channel. I am on ep.4 and just absolutely fell in love with this awesome family! They are wonderful! I wished I could do the same! I have an adult autistic son(33) an he hates the outdoors.....crazy huh?
Anyways, I will be watching this family and the adventures that they go on as long as they have something to watch!! Kudos Croft family!!!!! Keep up the good work of letting us live vicariously through you all!!
Take Care!!!❤
Thank you for sharing this amazing time with your family!! Also a big shout out to the Van Stralen family! Great job on the editing!
I wish I could do something like this in life, thanks for sharing, great trip, great people, great places and great memories !!
Wow, you've come along way since I first watched you guys,,,Y'all have been truly blessed! ...and thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Often the case, you travel to explore and forget to see your own backyard.
As an Arizona resident, it shocks me how many fellow Arizonians have never seen the Grand Canyon.
Thanks for sharing the adventures with us
Thank you!
Probably one of your best episodes.
Wow-what an experience you are giving your boys. As much as traditional schooling is important but that experience is priceless. As you said your boys will be fanominal men that will make this world a better place and an inspiration to future generations. The hope is real. Well done guys truly inspirational 👌😍
Thank you so much!
Love you guys!!!!
Good to see you back out in the wild, especially with the boys. Those be memories for a long time.
what an awesome trip for you all. Excellent editing skills by Caroline, Pete Jr and Dan!! Well done guys!!
Glad you guys are making a new series. All the precious ones were awesome, and the production quality is top notch. Keep them coming!!!
Amazing video guys! Keep it up with the fishing, would be nice to watch more of this. Beautiful imagens of the landscape btw
What an incredible video. I'd have given it 1000 thumbs up if I could have.
Love that yaak river road, that whole corner of the state is amazing, from the kootenay falls,low point of mt,and the ross creek cedars to start. Always carry a firearm in bear country...
$300k in toys would make me happy travelin' too... Wife would frown on that and not want to give up her horses... looks beautiful and fun though... great when you can work your job into something like that too...
I imagine you’re underestimating that by 150-200k. 🙂
Holy crap! I met your son in tonopah Nevada during the ice storm. we stayed at the la quinta, your son was very mature, well mannered, and sweet. He told me how he liked my dodge which was the silver lifted one with the tire carrier and camper shell, and I saw yours and was in love. Good luck out there guys !!!!
Thank you!
Pretty dang cool! Thank you for sharing.
You guys are definitely doing it right! Very inspirational!
Out of control amazing gear, haha! Hope everyone watching enjoys the excess but doesn't lose sight of the point which is getting out with your family. And that can be done with a stock truck, a tent and some essential gear. Fun vid!
100%! You can do it in a Honda, just get out there and have the adventure you want :)
Well done.
the best memories as a kid are always those family camping trips we took every summer break! I was lucky to grow up in an area where there were many other families as well that loved the outdoors and would all go together for our end of summer last adventure before school started again and I remember how cool it was to get back to school and listen to all the stories from others!
Well done!!
Outstanding! So cool to go back with your boys. God is good.
Fantastic start to the series. Thank you for this Croft family!
Thank you for watching!
Amazing video. You have such a beautiful family!
Hey Clay, what an awesome real life story- your family on vacation. You nailed it... everything we do is ALL for and about spending time with those we love. Also, Caroline, Peter, and Dan did a fine job editing this video- It’s awesome to see you taking them under your wing to train them and I look forward to seeing them apply these skills on their channel too.
Awesome Ryder! Tight lines!
This episode gave me goosebumps of happiness ❤️ Thankyou for sharing your family with the world and your honesty! Remarkable 👏
What a beautiful film with such valuable messages, and authentic. I’ve spent most of my life running around Montana with my wife and family. You captured it!
Awesome, thank you!
As a Montana native and having been to the Yaak many times, as well as the entire overland set up, this is the best, most enjoyable video I have watched, of its kind. But the best part is the family time. It is obvious this family loves one another and is solid. Boys, nothing like growing up in Montana! May the Lord bless you all.
Thank you very much!
@@ExpeditionOverland Yea, no problem. I loved everything about your video. Your explanations, the music and the quality. It was like watching a great family movie.
I grew up in Libby and my sister lived in the Yaak for many years. I also lived in Livingston, Billings, Forsythe and Hardin, as well as Lewistown. I now live in the Philippines. Do you mind if I ask you what town you and your family live in? Or is that too personal? Mark
@@markkuntz571 we are in the Bozeman area 👍🏼
@@ExpeditionOverland Awesome!! Love that area!!! Just love all of Montana really! I am so jealous of you guys, ha ha ha!!!
Your best episode ever
What a great journey for your family. Thank you for taking us all along with you, it was wonderful. Can't wait to see your boys on the next adventure with you. Wow, You are all so blessed to be able to go on an overland journey together as a family. It was so sweet to see you end the movie, where it all started ❤
Thanks for the Venture y'all just had that was awesome
Still the king of overlanding videos, now with some young talented videographers to help!
Thank you for this! I spent many of my summers in the Yaak and Troy.
Love your guys videos. Excellent job. Ps made my girlfriend have tears of joy.
