      You are a very Intelligent Man so I think you would be the best person to ask this question. I am Registered Disabled and in a year I will no longer be able to walk to the shops. There is a perfect vehicle for me to buy, it's called The Citroen Ami. It is an electric vehicle with a top speed of 28mph and a range of 43 miles on a full charge. The English Government are trying to defraud the Disabled by telling Citroen it would require, Number Plates, a Driving License and Road Tax. The majority of Disabled do not have a driving license because they are Disabled. I am attacking the Tory Government right know Proving it more than qualifies as a Disability Vehicle. If need be I will challange them in Court. If you have never heard of the Citroen Ami it would be a good thing to look it up on UA-cam.
      There are a number of design blunders in the Ami. You can find out what they are in Reviews by Auto Social UK Citroen Ami review (A Sexy Presenter) and a bad Reviews by Fifth Gear Recharged. It would be great to see if you could find cheap ways to fix those Blunders. You NEED to know the Vehicle to know what I am going to ask you next...
      Remembering it is an electric Vehicle, is there a good quality cheap wireless reversing camera you could put in the Ami? If so how would you set it up?

    Mud is mud, wet limestone road sticks with you everywhere. Go north of Winnipeg to Thompson, turn east on a 300 km limestone gravel to the end of the road. Expect windshield to be stoned, IF it is raining the limestone will be very slippery and will build up everywhere, I got 1/4 inch of dried mud, wheels out of balance after car wash, Got wheels removed, cleaned, balanced in Winnipeg. I was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

    Some good advice someone gave me years ago. 4wd only means you'll get stuck farther off the road then you thought. Good idea stopping.

    Just awesome, as always! Your cinematography, aerials, and editing are all so fantastic. Loved experiencing this again through your eyes, and seeing more of the Little Grand Canyon, since our big, lumbering RV obviously couldn't take us there with you. When you were in that oatmeal/mud, it brought back butterflies in our stomachs from a similar experience we had on the Kaiparowits Plateau in our poor little Honda CR-V. When the road signs down there warn "Impassable when wet" they mean it!

    We were in Moab in March, probably a little after you were. It's awesome to see the sites we loved again through your video. We did the Schafer trail and many of the trails you did in our rental Toyota, and can't wait to do them again in a few years in our rig (FWC on a F250). Great channel and video - Thanks for posting it up!

    You never did say you visited Jekyll Island in February, you sly RVers. Did you figure out the silo way point on the island that I gave you? second entrance avoids low cable lines.
    You caught me off guard on my bike at the time. The silo site is amazing with 5 300 year old live oaks to stay under.

    If you enter The Wedge from Highway 10 it's a LOT easier and the road is groomed. I went the same way the first time in my RAM 2500 with no added weight and was drifting in the mud. Glad you made it!

    Hi, Moab is awesome can't wait to see it again, we stayed in town and Dead Horse. I have a question for anyone, I got a new mppt and a shunt, should the ground from mppt connect to the battery or to the shunt, if so which side of the shunt, any helpful tips would be helpful, thank you, really enjoy your videos...

    What would do both of yall good is go off roading with your truck more with the camper to gain the confidence and experience in situations like what you was in. I do have alot of years driving on dirt roads that have gone to complete crap after a very hard rain and was able to figure out how to make it down the road in a rwd truck

    Awesome video and story. You should have went a little more past Chicken Corners and went to the Wind Caves. Very fun. The grandkids love it! We actually saw a Desert Tortoise on the way back. I would attach a short video but can't on UA-cam. I have lived in Utah all my live and still have many more adventures to see!

    Hey do you guys get axle wrap at all with your setup? I have a 3500 with the g56 with 3.73 gears and a northern lite TC on it and it has bad axle wrap when trying to reverse with all the weight on it. Don’t know what the Germans were thinking when they used the reverse gear ratios, but I am not a big fan of idling in reverse at 7mph with the clutch out (granted I have larger than stock tires but still…). It’s my biggest pet peeve with my full time setup.
    Hope y’all make it up to Montana this year! Would love to do a collar video and show y’all around Montana too. One of the best hidden gem states for over landing that no content creators explore I’m finding! Cheers,
    Vic and Zeda

    Just a hint guys, don't count on having the giant 42" cinnamon donuts for breakfast, they don't taste very good and are kind of rubbery. Do you think a 37 ft super C could navigate that road you took out of the Little Grand Canyon? Inquiring minds want to know. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

      If you come from the castle dale side you should make it if conditions are dry. You wouldent get to that point we were at (at least when we were there) but the main viewpoint you should be able to access and there is camping there too.
