- My son and I set off on a 9 day adventure that would take us from California, through New Mexico and deep into Texas where we explore Big Bend National Park and Padre Island National Seashore. Join us as we head off the beaten path, do a little camping in the mountains, desert and on the beach and cook up some great chow at camp.

0:47 That was our group at Padre Island! I owned the silver jeep to the right of the frame. Saw ya eating at a BBQ joint in San Antonio and didn't wanna bother ya! We were the big group that sat down just as you guys were heading out. I was the sunburned tomato! We couldn't believe it was you! Drive safe and be safe guys
👍 Quality Father and Son time. Memories that will last forever. 👍
I’m a backpacker, and a U.S. Navy Veteran…these trail videos lower my stress level more than most things…. Thanks Master Chief!
The best times I ever had was my dad taking me out in his 69 Jeep Commando around the outskirts of El Centro in the late 70’s. I will always remember the great father and son time we had.
Nothing is as soothing as the sound of waves.
I'm from Texas and the lack of public land is one of my biggest complaints about the state. There is so much seemingly empty unused land too.
Because Texas was a country when it joined the US, it kept its public land.
Also the Spanish and later Mexico made massive land grants to bring settlers to Texas. Most of these were honored when Texas became a Republic and when it became a state. The rest belonged to Texas as the post above explains
In regards to overlanding in Texas, the rewards are great if you're willing to do the research.
" There is so much seemingly empty unused land too."
It's private land. Owned by private citizens. That's like complaining about not allowing people to come traipse around your own backyard.
@@heavymetal9099 It's pretty dumb to argue that millions of miles of unimproved land are the same as your own backyard. Sure, people own it but unless they are all employing dozens of ranch hands to protect the land, it would be pretty easy to camp on the so-called "private" land.
Trailrecon is now my favorite channel. I love it that you take the time to video your journey and the editing is professional. Thank you
As someone who lives about an hour from Padre Island, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I go out there as often as I can.
You are blessed to live that close... it would be hard to keep me away if that was in my backyard.
@@TrailRecon We live right here in Corpus Wish we would have known you where going to be here could have shown you some awesome offloading places!
All private land! Watch out no trespassing more guns than people here and we all conceal carry! Howdy:)
@@dcs_kraken I’m going there for memorial day weekend and I could use some tips on where to set up camp. We will be getting there after dark
I'm very happy for you two having this time together before his deployment.
Jordan, thank you for your service. What an amazing trip. Coffee to a sunrise on a beach...sounds amazing!!!

Welcome to the Lone Star State
“The sage in bloom, is like perfume 👏👏👏👏 Deep in the heart of Texas!”

What an awesome time to spend together. Be safe on your deployment Jordan and thank you for your service. Definitely going to have to put Texas on the list!
Glad you enjoyed it. We are out there as much we can. We live about 30 minutes or so from South Padre. I'm retired Navy as well. My wife and I wish your son all the best on his upcoming deployment. Thank you both for your service.
This is what life is all about!! We are proud of our state. Shoutin' out from San Antonio.
I love how close you are with your sons. Thats special and they followed in your footsteps.
That Weber is my daily driver even at home. Works great and super portable.
You guys drove through my home town!
Thank you for your service Jordan!
So glad y'all got to enjoy our beautiful texas gulf coast... Growing up about 100 miles south of where y'all were and 40 minutes from South Padre Island with another 30+ miles of drivable beach, I grew up camping and fishing on the coast. I'm so glad I get to continue the tradition with my girls.
A 20 minute Trail Recon video?
You son of a gun I’m in!
Made my day.
Diddo
I enjoy it here in New Mexico. Tons of beautiful trails and places to explore. Especially here in the Lincoln National Forest
I can’t believe you came to Texas and chose Rudy’s bbq of all places
There are lots of good other places in Texas. Someone else commented about seeing them in San Antonio at a BBQ place. I know that Big Bib there in San Antonio is good.
lol. Let's not turn this into best BBQ in Texas argument. The thread will go on forever
Marco was at home shaking his head when he saw the simple meal lol
Awesome spending time with your boy👊🏻 I do the same with my boys 21 and 15 love every minute! Thank you both for your service👍🏼
Always a pleasure to watch these. My favorite when I travel out west is seeing the sunrises
Nothing beats camping with your son. Love the video.
You got that right!
That’s one things I loved about being from Texas and being stationed in Colorado was the drive. We would go visit family in Texas like 5 times a year. And also port a is amazing
Sad to see there was fire in Big Bend. The hiking trails in the Chisos mountains are beautiful. I took the ol’ XJ out there over Christmas. Black Gap is great, but I think the less-mentioned Old Ore Road was my highlight. I definitely recommend both.
It was a bummer, but I'm sure all the vegetation will all come back in the coming years.
Looks like a great trip the two of you are having, and there’s more to come.
As always, great video! Good to see you and your son making memories, hope to see you on the trail HOOAH!
Jordan thank you for your service, you are the reason civilians like me feel safe in our country thank You!
Looks like an awesome trip and a great way to spend some quality time with your son before he deploys. Can’t wait for the next adventure.
Great video as always. Thank you for your and your Son’s service. We appreciate it greatly.
Enjoy every minute with one another, it looks like you already do.... thanks for stopping by SPI enjoy the rest of your travels
NM, Texas, Where ever,....... ...But time spend with Jordan, priceless!
Another awesome video, as usual.
Looks like a really great time.
I'll ask a special prayer Jordan and his outfit while on deployment as I do for all of our men and women in uniform.
May God bless the trails you guys enjoy.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Brad you know how to live life!!! Yes Quality time most memorable. Enjoy all videos!! Always glad to see where we are going next.. Keep smiling. Keep living. My best Jordan on your cruise. I did the Pacific Rim.
Awesome!!! I've been there several times as I have family in TX, unfortunately now is nearly impossible to cross the border from Mexico for known reasons...but its really good you spend time with your son on such beautiful places!!!, keep having adventures and sharing them with the offroaders community!!! Waiting for more...!!!
Great video so enjoy the trips with your prospective on them much more than your garage talks. Super awesome that you got to go with your son for both of you to have those memories forever. Thumbs up keep up the good work.
Great video! Awesome way to spend time with your son before he deploys. Thank you both for your service to our country!
My parents used to live in North Padre island. We have a 1971 Jeepster Commando (profile pic) that we fully restored and finished back in 2015. We loved cruising it on the beach every chance we had and had some great times down there. There is a really cool Jeep club down there with some extremely friendly people too that is worth checking out.
Great video and Thank you Jordan for your service. I really appreciate the sacrifices you are making to deploy and protect our freedoms. May god bless you and keep you safe.
I watched all the way till the end till I realized your a Master Chief! Hooyah brother, loved the video.
I love watching your videos!! I'm close to retirement, and getting my rubicon ready for some trips! Navy Chief Navy Pride brother!
Awesome people you guys ! Veteran myself with multiple tours in Afganistan, I first of all want to wish your son a good deployment and thank you for your service sir. Second, I have a severe OCD badtrip with your trailer not being level :) :) :) Keep pushing out those amazing vids and make us all travel by your side for an instant !!
Awesome adventure! From mountains to the beach, you covered it all in one video. Wow.
Brad, was just watching this episode and today I got another crack on my windshield. Last year i found a neat trick to keep the crack from spreading. All you need is alcohol, clean cloth, Krazy glue and a razor blade. Works everytime for me. Clean the cracked area real good with alcohol, let it air dry. Then squeeze plenty of krazy glue all in the crack (make sure you get it in any minute crack). Let the glue air dry and scrape it off with blade. All done. Love your videos, thank you once again.
As usual, great video. Padre looks fun! BEst to Jordan on his upcoming deployment. Be safe!
Welcome to Texas!
Glad your enjoyed your visit to Texas! Come on back and spend some time taking it all in.
Brad, great to see you doing fun stuff and kicking butt!!!
What an awesome adventure with your son. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thank both of you for your service 🇺🇸
Welcome to Texas! Glad you came. I'm up by Galveston, you have many fans here. Too bad I was in MOAB while you were here. Ha. Good luck to your son on his pump, we will be praying for him. My youngest just got out after serving 4 yrs and 2 pumps with F 2/5 USMC. Nice having him home. Both of your service is what keeps US going. God bless your wonderful family, and thank you both for showing us how its done!
Thank you and hope to make it up there someday!
Thank you guys! As a videographer I will say you did a great job. I live about four hours from Padre Island and love going there camping and fishing. I subscribed and you guys do a great job 👍
I’ve heard the complaint about lack of public lands / Off roading trails / mountain biking trails from friends that have left California recently. Not that you can’t find trails in Texas, it’s that everything is farther away. (Spread out more)
People don’t realize how good CA is until they leave for a while.
Thanks for taking me home. I grew up in Corpus and spent a lot of time on the beach. The warm water is what I miss most. I’ve also camped and hiked in Big Bend. But I would only visit in December or January. Too hot otherwise. Another fantastic place.
Camped out there previous weekend and even though it was a bit chilly it’s always enjoyable. Mostly cloudy as well but when the clouds broke thru at night the sky lit up. Great to get away from cell service.
Glad y'all enjoyed my home state! Wish ya could of spent more time visiting. Ever find yourself near Llano or Ozona I know some places and own property out near San Angelo on the place I grew up on. Again come visit anytime!
Great vid fellas, glad you had some fun times. Can’t wait to get out this summer to explore. Hope your sons deployment is a safe one. Thanks for your service!
Love that scenery. Great trip. Hope to do it myself one day.
Awesome father and son. Love camping with my son. Good luck on your deployment.
Awesome trip. Thanks for sharing and for your service.
First of your videos that I have watched and I really like your style. I am a Texan, from up the coast past Galveston, and you described the state well. That looked like a fun trip, but you really racked up the miles. An outsider might not realize you drove over 1700 miles through Texas, which was easy on this end of the screen.... But, you had your son to visit with along the way, so well worth it. Ultimate respect to your son for serving our country. Subscribed.
Father / Son trips are the best. Well done. Love your content.
The best!
Man you inspire us so much to get outdoors !!! Just acquired a 2019 power wagon.... gonna take a few hints from you and get it ready for some adventures and hit the road !!!
You got the ultimate off road truck. Have fun
Just would like to say thank you to you and your son for your service if not for you and many others we wouldn’t have the freedom to enjoy all of this
Growing up in Corpus Christi I learned to 4x4 of that area of North Padre Island. Sure brings back memories of my 1985 Toyota 4Runner and pulling tourists out out of the sand for beer.
Great entertainment and a nice break from the crazy world right now , thanks for sharing 🙌
Must come back Brad when you can spend more time in Big Bend! Can give you plenty of insight on the must see trails and sights. Have a few secret spots you’d love. Great video!
Great video! Ah, brings back good memories of our trips to Big Bend & Mustang Island just North of Padre. The beach is incredible & the shore birds are fun to observe. Just watch out for the Jellyfish! We camped on the beach too & the temp never varried more than a few degrees from upper 70's. Had jumbo shrimp at a little place in Port Aransas, best ever. Thanks!
Great wheeling video. Thank you for your service to our country!
Awesome, hope to do this soon w my son as he builds his own 2016 JKU Rubicon. 16th birthday this Friday! Can’t wait!
Master Chief, It looks like you visited North Padre Island. I grew up on South Padre Island as a kid. That was my sandbox. I miss it. -Boats
Just got back from Big Bend myself. Loved it! Working on editing the video as we speak. Had a bit of a mishap that cut our trip short so definitely going back in the fall as soon as it cools off a bit. Love your videos and channel Brad. Thank you!
Great video. What a fabulous trip! 👍
Glad you enjoyed you're time in Texas!!! Come back when it's cooler.
Awesome! We camped the beach near Port Aransas. Good luck on the deployment! 👍😉🇨🇦🌘🥇
I'm glad ya'll enjoyed Texas! This video made my day as usual. Awesome video guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you to your son for his service. 🇺🇸
You are living the dream. Great trip
Happy you got to visit Texas!!! And enjoy Rudy's BBQ!
Love the videos Brad! Can’t wait to back from Korea and get out exploring with my son! 🇺🇸🤙🏼
Glad you enjoyed Texas!
Awesome fellas! Next time head south to Boca beach and I'll be your guide. Space X on the mouth of the Rio and Gulf of Mexico! Thank you for the great video! Safe travels!
Beautiful video, Sir. I felt like I travelled with you and your son. More than those natures, I like the Bacon in Pink.
Another great video can’t wait for the next chapter.
Awesome to get time with your son. Great video as well.
Fantastic video. Yes, I’m from TEXAS.,. You were in my old stomping grounds, from Galveston to South Padre Island. Live in Arizona now. Loved watching the beach videos...Thanks
Thank you!
Nice father son trip, glad to be part of your adventures!
Watching this in my smittybilt gen2 xl while we cook steak and asparagus in the annex. Day #3 of our honey moon. Tonight we are in Monroe, Utah right at the hot springs. Tomorrow morning we start off taking a dip in the hot springs before heading up to Moab. Our first time. Great video, Brad and Son! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
#projectoverlandhoneymoon
What a awesome video!!! I really enjoyed it.
Big Bend is definitely a fun spot, also if you come back make sure you venture down to Terlingua. Marfa and Alpine are also neat towns to stop at. In New Mexico you have the Carlsbad caverns, and just east of Carlsbad you have the Hackberry lake OHV area. North west of Carlsbad you have the town of Cloudcroft, and the Lincoln national forest.
Padre island and Big Bend are definitely on my list stops in the near future. Nice video Brad
Lived there for 3 years. Awesome place. Top 5 place in world to kite board as well.
For those that are AD, Guard/Reserve, or retired military, can get the America the Beautiful pass for free at any national park site or office. Also, if you are a disabled vet, they will give you a disabled parking pass as well. Take advantage of this, its an amazing free service to those of us who serve. I use mine all the time!
Glad you enjoyed your time in New Mexico!
Hi PIZO, I never thought you liked cars LOL.
Instablaster.
We do love our State!! Next time check out South Padre Island. Driving across the Queen Isabella Causeway with your windows down is heaven.
Great video, I’m gonna have to get back to big bend. Great seeing father son time!!
There's an old quicksilver mine out there and quite a lot of other cool stuff in big bend. The wheeling is definitely mild but it's so large you can explore for hours on end. Worth the trip back!
I’ll be there May 4th for a week. Thanks for the video!
From Texas here as well. I wish we had more public land also. I will be headed to Big Bend next week.
