  • Being from Texas I've often wondered what kind of overlanding adventures I might be missing out on. Follow my brother and I as we set out to explore the Texas Hill Country on one of Texas's few overland routes.
    Along the way we cross rivers, spot wildlife and set a pretty nice camp for the night along the Llano River. If you enjoyed or got anything from this video please like and subscribe or share with a friend, or both. Both would be pretty rad.

      @TGLASS24 yeah, I use Gaia GPS as my primary and OnX Offroad as a backup, both are apps and desktop software. I'll use Google earth just for street view referencing during planning.

    We just got back a few weeks ago from doing this trail. We camped across the river a bit from where y'all were at for a few days. It's our second time doing it and May is definitely a better time heat wise.

      Give it a go. Chisholm trail by way and the texas traverseon OnX Offroad are also good options

    This is the first video of yours I've seen and I like your work. Do you take amateur radio or GMRS radios for comms when out on the trail?
    You've reminded me to get the Jeep back on the trail this fall when it cools off a bit.

    Great video, I love the Llano, Mason and Fredericksburg area and have done part of the Hill Country Trail that I found at OnX. Was that big water crossing on the James River? Also it was cool to hear quotes from Lehman's book, I haven't read that one yet but just finished Captured by Steven Zesch who grew up in the Mason area and is a relative of Adolph Korn, who was also captured by Indians in that area. I look forward to more videos.

    Howdy, if you are in the Leakey area and looking for a spot i have one that you might enjoy. I grew up in the area and i would have to argue that lums bbq in junction is better than coopers. Ive seen this country from behind the wheel and seeing these drone shots gives it a great perspective. Great job editing.

    I just moved here from the Utah area. It's been a little hard to find places to camp out in Texas, with 95% privately owned land. I came from a state that had 80% BLM land. Let me know if you make it out to the Corsicana area.
