I partially expected the kiddo playing with the hotwheels to reveal the Expedition Overland hotwheels/matchbox line of toys! haha! Absolutely great family road trip!
NOLS Cookbook! Everyone should take a NOLS course if possible. I still remember the summer I spent on a NOLS course backpacking in the Wind River Range over 35 years ago. Great video, glad to see that your kids are enjoying themselves and so involved. They will remember trips like this for the rest of their lives. Epic campsite along the river.
Throughout the years I have watched / sub to several overland families with their aventures and gear and just think when I ve seen it all you come up with the most bad ass set up of them all. Great editing too btw love the background music with the narration. Good luck n thanks for sharing.
Wow! Montana is gorgeous! I absolutely have to put that on my list. It cracked me up when your son jumped into the river with his hat on. I guess it's a nice way to cool down when it's 85F. I really hate the mice, and how they get into everything! Two weeks after I bought my 4Runner, they had gotten into my cabin air filter. Since then, I put a metal plate with a grid of 1/4" holes drilled out that covers the intake. I haven't had them get into the cabin air filter since. I've also heard that bright lights in the engine compartment will keep them out.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful vids with the world. My wife and I have a goal to start overlanding in two years with a similar set up like yours. You have given us plenty of good ideas and boots on the ground assessments of the journey. As a final note....being a retired US Marine and Police Officer, I was extremely impressed to observe you carried self protection along with you. I never leave home without it. Happy trail and Sempi Fi.
Great job guys. Clearly the most important thing that you have ever done. God blessed you with a beautiful Family, and now you are making the most of it, when it counts.🙏👌👍 sincerely your friends at MC Ranch Overland.
@@ExpeditionOverland please let us know if you enjoy the video we sent you on Instagram we published with Gear into Adventure on the MC Ranch Overland Tacoma and the Original Fire Reflector. Cheers again we can't wait for the next Solo👍
Man I just have to say what an awesome dad you are! It is so awesome to see you showing your kids what you love to do and teaching them along the way. You are so good to them and I hope they know how good they have it. I love doing this stuff now but I wish I had, had someone to show me at a young age. You're an awesome father Clay and an awesome mother Rachelle! Cant wait to see more
Awesome Clay, this video figure out how a family trip should be... As Italian guy, i'm pretty sure that you have some more room to make a better Pizza😁
Been subbed for a long time. Haven't really been on UA-cam much lately, but watching this reminded me why I subbed to this channel years ago. Excellent content! Staying tuned for ep. 3
Wow! You make Montana so inviting! Gorgeous country...no wonder they call it Big Sky Country. What a great adventure to share with the kids. Watching you and your family brings back incredible memories of camping trips throughout Europe and the U.S. when my kids were growing up. We were all fishing fanatics as well. I think kids become more rounded adults when they are exposed to outdoor activities like camping, fishing, boating and four-wheeling. I couldn't help but notice the Van Stralen name in the credits...awesome job of editing guys. Well done!
I've been to this area on the Sun River, near Gibson dam. Very beautiful! Drove across that same bridge. What a fantastic spring that was. Many elk everywhere in the east side of the Rocky Mountain Front.
I love your videos, such a great journey for all who watch. It's really cool how you bring your family along on this powerful trip across this beautiful country we call America. Please keep up the good work in producing such quality content!!
An apron is a must! Where’s Shelly’s?! I wear one in my classroom and at home in the garden and kitchen. Same reason, protect the clothes. Learning to read a paper map is an invaluable skill. I grew up using a Thomas Guide to get around my state and am so appreciative for this skills. Plus, a paper map just emits adventure! Epic family adventure - thank you taking us along the journey.
You and your family have inspired us to hit the road and adventure as well! Not as equipped as yall but thank you so much for the inspiration! Our 4 year old and 4 month old are going to have a blast!
I have been watching since the beginning and I always wonder, can it get any better? Every new video is proof you are always innovating and creating the best overlanding content for everyone to learn from. As someone in their mid to late twenties, wanting to have kids. I have no doubt, I will do everything I ca to inspire my kids to enjoy the outdoors as much as y'alls does. Keep up the amazing work @Expediton Overland
"Better cover that up, before dad see's it ..." ... I laughed all the way ... ahahahahahahah Guys ... I have no words to describe what this adventure means to me ... I can only think, that Clay was called chicken, ahaha, before entering the water ... ahahah ... I would do the same thing Clay!! I'm 49, and there's no way, my daughters will win on me !! ... I'ts getting there, LOL, but I refuse the easy way !!! ahahah Guys ... I can never thank you enough for this ... keep on ... looking forward for more !!! Cheers
Just found this channel. Love it!!! What an amazing family adventure. What kid wouldn’t love it? I wish I had the ability and resources to take mine. Keep it up!! Thank you.
Clay... you guys do a GREAT job with all of your videos. I've started taking my 12 y/o camping and he's loving it. I've also go into hiking. We live in the North East and there's LOTS of wildlife. What is the chest rig you're using? I'm a police officer and am looking for something like that to use when hiking in the backcountry. You're inspiring us to keep exploring. We got up to Acadia in ME this summer... WOW WOW WOW!!!
Enjoyed seeing you in our corner of MT! Spotted the sticker on the Pole Bridge fuel tank the other day; far less crowded in late winter. Now you have me wondering; was that you in the side by side that stayed a respectful 100+ yards from our camp on the Spotted Bear River?
This is AMAZING content !! I’ve been following the Channel since a very long time but to be honest I didn’t really enjoy the content of the past year or two BUT this is GOOD! Easy to watch and well made! 👏🏼🤙🏼 Thanks!
Awesome
Such a nice heart warming series to watch on these cold winters days in Scotland 🏴
Beat to fit paint to match! On Land Rover comment is epic! True wisdom in auto body industry! Awesome family adventure!
What a beautiful family 🥰
“Well it is a Land Rover and Land Rover’s break down a lot.” 🤣
Yep its why special forces use them all over the world!
Teach 'em young! Haha
Love the Epic and ominous feel and music you put to the Egg Mountain. The scenery was so 'fantastical'! Can't wait to visit myself now.
Love that rig...Ford need to send you a 250 or raptor lol
Thank you for letting boys be boys and showing them the way to true manhood.
Episode 2 here we go!
Thanks for watching and being here!
I partially expected the kiddo playing with the hotwheels to reveal the Expedition Overland hotwheels/matchbox line of toys! haha! Absolutely great family road trip!
That would be awesome!!
LOVE your "parenting" family vacation. Simply wonderful!
Doing it right. I live for family adventures as well.
Memories don't make themselves.
You have inspired me and my family to build up my ram 2500 and start doing camping in the middle of the woods. love learning from your videos.
That's awesome! Take a couple weekend trips and see what you want/need for gear. You will save some time and money that way :) Enjoy!

What a wonderful learning experience for your kids and creating lifelong memories!
I enjoy watching your adventures. You have a beautiful family ,I love your videos, greetings from Florida.
NOLS Cookbook! Everyone should take a NOLS course if possible. I still remember the summer I spent on a NOLS course backpacking in the Wind River Range over 35 years ago.
Great video, glad to see that your kids are enjoying themselves and so involved. They will remember trips like this for the rest of their lives. Epic campsite along the river.
It's our go-to cookbook for all of our trips! NOLS courses are amazing. I also did the Wind River Range one!
How i wish I can afford such truck to have quality time with my family like you guys
Throughout the years I have watched / sub to several overland families with their aventures and gear and just think when I ve seen it all you come up with the most bad ass set up of them all. Great editing too btw love the background music with the narration. Good luck n thanks for sharing.
Hahaha the “grrrrl while he’s standing on your seat to do the latch.
LOL.

Paper Maps. Excellent skill to have.
Always was amazed how clear the water was in Montana. Sure miss that place.
LOVED part 2! What an epic family adventure!! ❤️
Thank you!!
You guys are awesome parents. Such a great family.
Beautiful country, Great rig.But even better family!! Love the evening fire by the river...Thanks from Dennis
Croft family summer adventure so far looks amazing. The message about family and exploring together is awesome. Can’t wait for episode 3

Awesome Clay, this video figure out how a family trip should be... As Italian guy, i'm pretty sure that you have some more room to make a better Pizza😁

Excellent. That was very well done.
Awesome show!
Looks like your family is having a great times. The boys will remember this the rest of their lives.
YUP. Another GOODER video. Family time is always worth its weight in gold. Sharing your knowledge and experience to your boys is Golden:). Thank you
Great memories made right there!
another awesome video with fantastic editing skills by Caroline, Pete Jr. and Dan van Stralen!!
Excellent !!! Really enjoying these solo Croft adventures :-)
Thank you!
First time watching... can’t believe how epic this channel is. It’s like the Cohen brothers directed it.
"It'll be these moments they will cherish forever..." With all the memories growing up with my Dad, I can't tell you how true that is! 😁
Another great video! Can’t wait for the next.
What a pleasant surprise to wake to, another episode!
Been subbed for a long time. Haven't really been on UA-cam much lately, but watching this reminded me why I subbed to this channel years ago. Excellent content! Staying tuned for ep. 3

Love from India ❤️❤️❤️
“Beat it to fit, paint it to match”. I feel it’s likely that will be the motto on our Scout build and summer adventure... 😂
I love your videos, such a great journey for all who watch. It's really cool how you bring your family along on this powerful trip across this beautiful country we call America. Please keep up the good work in producing such quality content!!
Classic Defender. Nah defenders add to the adventure 😁
I go the chills watching you all jump in that water or maybe it was just that look in your boys eyes fighting through the cold. Good stuff.
Love these adventures. It’s what inspired me to venture out with my family.
An apron is a must! Where’s Shelly’s?! I wear one in my classroom and at home in the garden and kitchen. Same reason, protect the clothes. Learning to read a paper map is an invaluable skill.

We use the same one!
You and your family have inspired us to hit the road and adventure as well! Not as equipped as yall but thank you so much for the inspiration! Our 4 year old and 4 month old are going to have a blast!
Best thing I've watched on youtube today. Kudos to the boys for getting into that cold water! Well done all!
Another great episode in the books. #ChannelGoals
Great Stuff Croft family! The voice is as soothing as the narrator in the movie “ A river runs through it”.
"exterminators choice" works great btw made in usa and is natural 🤘 I had one chew my brake line on my car once ...glad I notice the hissing
Available on amazon
Ryder is definitely going to continue this
Can’t wait for ep3

I've never heard of the 49th parallel. That's really cool👍
This is why I'm looking for a great rig to take my grand babies on adventures
Absolutely loved it and cant wait for Ep3. You guys rock.

Thanks for a great video! The importance of REAL paper maps is something the new generations are not grasping. "It's the big picture".
Great camera work! Epic adventure you’re on, can’t wait to see more!
Never had backcountry pizza; however, we have had camp pizza. We made ours using the Lodge cast iron camp cooking set.
Nice!
Amazing video XO 👍👍
That's was cool I guess
Time for Ep3!
Just found this channel. Love it!!! What an amazing family adventure. What kid wouldn’t love it? I wish I had the ability and resources to take mine. Keep it up!! Thank you.
Thank you!
Just stumbled on the channel here. Nice times in the wilderness with the family. Just subscribed to watch more.
ahh that's perfect haha, needed an extra XO fix lol
Oh good!
Great music for Egg Mountain. Did you run into Alan Grant? He's out there somewhere.
Like everything else you make, these are awesome! Keep it up
Get us a couple of Huckleberry Bearclaw at Polebridge.
Clay... you guys do a GREAT job with all of your videos. I've started taking my 12 y/o camping and he's loving it. I've also go into hiking. We live in the North East and there's LOTS of wildlife.

We got up to Acadia in ME this summer... WOW WOW WOW!!!
Two in one night, looks like this bottle of wine will be finished 😁👍
Lol! Sounds like a perfect night!
Clay, you’d make Ryan Michler proud. 🤙🏻
Hope you guys tried the famous huck bearclaws at the polebridge merc!
Oh yes we did!
I thought you were making Fry bread for Indian Tacos, as my native (Yakama, Blackfoot & Grande Rhonda) spouse used to call them when we made them
Enjoyed seeing you in our corner of MT! Spotted the sticker on the Pole Bridge fuel tank the other day; far less crowded in late winter. Now you have me wondering; was that you in the side by side that stayed a respectful 100+ yards from our camp on the Spotted Bear River?
