I am also thankful for your video about overlanding saving your life. I was T-boned on my way to work 2 years ago in my tacoma at 420 in the morning 2 broken ribs punched right lung 4 broken vertebrae and a broken left hip. Every intersection I get a flashback of the impact. Police report said she hit me 60 mph + i rolled 4 times and landed upside down at first they thought I was dead with the amount of blood splatter. Sorry for the rambling but you Rodger have helped me to not be afraid of getting back on my feet and trying. Thank you
Oh my gosh, sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for sharing your story and happy trails brother!
I enjoyed your earlier videos, especially the guides. #RETEVIS
#retevis I am thankful for your campsite security video. I just stumbled upon you tonight and started watching. Surprised I hadn't come across you before since this is the type of video I watch. Great video so far.
Thank you for stumbling 😆
#Retevis I am thankful for your "How overlanding and an old 4Runner saved my life" Series, because overlanding and an old ZJ saved mine.
Appreciate that! I wish you many happy trails in your ZJ!

#RETEVIS - I am thankful for the “How to start overlanding” video because it is the first video I saw. I used to camp quite a bit but I stopped. I am 45 now and want my 3 year old to love the outdoors and appreciate earth. It was complicated to get started but we made it happen. After watching the video about how to get started…I am excited to watch more. PS. I am the one that mentioned I had 2 schnauzers for 15 years. Thanks so much!
I know the deadline has passed but I got hooked on your videos from the Gia GPS series, but honestly I love the no nonsense style you have and may be my number 1 favorite at least as far as no ha ha great job thanks for doing what you do!
#retivis Thanks Bro for all you do. Mine was “How to get your wife to go over landing …”
At least I got her to come out, haha. Happy 🦃 to you and your Fam!
A win is a win! Happy tukey day to you guys too!
@@ggg4runner Roger that!
Do you get that response a lot ? Haha….. “Roger that!”
@@Big7media2011 first time🙄😂
#RETEVIS I am thankful for your, "A look back at past overlanding adventures and a thank you to my subscribers" intro to your channel. Being new to your channel I have only made it through four or so videos but I have found they all deliver well presented valuable information and so professionally well presented yet relaxed and funny too. The intro tells me so much about you...your humility, sincerity, and such a pleasant person who is willing to share with your community. I was truly moved my that video.
#Retevis. Hey Roger, thankful for your How to get your Wife… to Actually Enjoy Going video!
#RETEVIS I’m thankful for your love and hate video as well as the gear consolidation video, been subscribed since the first video I came across across.
#RETEVIS I AM THANKFUL FOR YOUR “HOW TO START OVERLANDING” VIDEO BECAUSE YOUR ENGAGEMENT WITH THAT VIDEO GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE TO KEEP MAKING VIDEOS.
#Retevis I’m thankful for your video comparing the Midland GXT1000g vs Retevis RB17P since I was debating which one to purchase recently.Appreciate all the great videos!
I'm glad it helped!
#RETEVIS. I am personally thankful for your getting started in Overland series!!!! I'm currently looking a few options for overlanding here in Oregon and can't wait to get started!! Thank you for all your info!!!
Happy trails when you get started!
#retevis I am thankful for the "How to Start Overlanding in 2023" video. I purchased a 4Runner and have been anxious to take overlanding but had no clue where to start. All of your videos have been a great resource on my overlanding journey. Keep up the GREAT work, and thanks!
Right on! Looks like you have a great adventure buddy on your shoulder there, happy trails!
#retevis I do not currently overland but planning in the near future. I have done regular camping and some backpacking. You're one of the few I'm subscribed to for overlanding cause I like the way you present your videos. Overlanding and an Old 4Runner SAVED MY LIFE: A Mental Health Journey were some of your videos that I have enjoyed. Although I'm not going through any issues, it does give you a different perspective on things. Thanks and continue keeping us informed on overlanding.
Thank you. Your comment about "a different perspective on things" means a lot. Happy turkey day and happy future trails!
Hello Roger ,
Just wishing you a safe & wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & helpful information.
Thank you! Happy Turkey Day!
#retevis I am thankful for your "How to find dispersed campsites" video. With our upgrade to a 4X4 vehicle, and my wife's found love of using the 4X4 routes to get away from it all, I really appreciate your showing what OnX looks like and how to use it. Thanks!
On my to-do list! Happy trails to you and your lady!
#retevis definitely thankful for your Overland Saved My Life Videos, I am slowly but surely getting out and away for some therapeutic/peaceful trail riding.
Good for you brother! I can only assume you are serving our country based on your avatar photo so thank you for your service and I hope you are able to spend the holidays with your loved ones!
#RETEVIS I am thankful for your “This is NOT Overlanding” video because that spot in Mendocino NF is now my go-to camping site:)
Nice! Glad you like that spot.
#Retevus I'm a big fan of your How to Get Your Wife or Significant Other to Actually Enjoy Going Overlanding With You. It didn't work for me but I appreciate the sentiment. 26 years married and I can't even get her to camp in a trailer.
😩 It's the no plumbing thing isn't it. I'm sure you'll succeed one of these days, keep trying and have faith!
#RETEVIS I am thankful for your "2023 What I love and What I Hate About My Overlanding Gear, Just Some of the Overland Gear I Use" Video. I love your approach to some of the items you use. It is more authentic than a lot of other Overlander videos who are just there for their sponsors and selling the items. You are unashamed to use products that aren't the flashiest products. Also love the small amounts of dry humor in your videos. Keep up the good work!
Hey, if it's something that works I like to share that and conversely if it doesn't work, I either don't share it with you guys or I'll talk all kinds of trash about it 😅 Thanks for the comment and happy turkey day!
Humangear GoBites Uno Spork. i got them at Sierra and have been phenomenal for overlanding, backpacking, and road trips.
Insta Crates. got a few from Costco for around 8 bucks a pop and there awesome for the car with day to day jobs. they're collapseable and stackable which makes it great for moving a lot of stuff in or out of the car.
Fiskars hatchet. this brand, oh my lord do I love it. its insanely reliable, built really freakin strong, and if you somehow break it, it has a lifetime warranty. and better yet, its not crazy expensive. I've gotten there 14" hatchet, 31" splitting axe, heavy duty shovel, fiskars pro rake, and a flat heat shovel I got as a gift from a side job.
Evoc toilet tree bag. this is amazing for road trips for all the hingene items you use. it also fits snuggly in my drawer system which is just 2 of the same width drawer between the wheel wells.
I'm sure there's more but these are the firs things I can think of.
Thanks for the recommendations! I have some fiskars stuff and yeah they're great. I'll have to check out those other items though. 👍
#RETEVIS
The video I am most thankful for is one of your most recent vids that went over campsite shower systems. I showed that video to my wife and (I think) it went a long way in convincing her to join me on one some of my adventures next summer. I've told her that such systems exist, but I think seeing your video finally showed her that it's extremely easy to do, and quite comfortable with a privacy tent. Now I just need to order similar kit. THANK YOU! 🍻
Glad to hear that! I wish you both great adventures together!
#Retevis I am thankful for your videos discussing mental health and how overlanding helped you. Happy holidays. Cheers!
Happy holidays to you too!
#Retevis I am thankful for your 'How to Start Overlanding in 2023: A Beginner’s Guide to Basics So You Can Start to Overland TODAY' video, because it really did give me a solid footing on my start into overlanding this year. I had no idea what I wanted or needed and your video gave me a great idea on where to start.
Thanks! I am glad it helped!
#retevis I appreciated your video on safety, especially as an adorable furry pup alarm was shown. Thank you! Unfortunately, I can't have the pepper spray you linked to delivered to my state via Amazon. 😇
I started reviewing your videos from the "How to start in 2023" to help nudge me out. I bought a used tiny trailer to create a safe and snug base to travel around with, as my spouse is ill and doesn't have the energy to hike for hours like we used to. #fcancer Your vids are awesome, and make it seem attainable without being unrealistic. For that, I am Thankful!
I wish you two many fulfilling adventures together!
#RETEVIS. I am personally thankful for your getting started in Overland series. I am new to overlanding and am in the process of building my rig. Your videos have kept me moving forward. I have now done a few trails in our area and absolutely love the experiences.
BTW…. It’s good to see that your hand has healed nicely!!
Thank you for noticing. The finger has healed much better than I ever thought it would. Have fun with your build and happy trails!
You need to try a Reylight or a wizard c2 or anything with a high CRI Nichia bulb. It will ruin all flashlights for you. Now I'm wishing for high cri camp lights.
I'll take a look, thanks for the recs!
#retevis I’m most thankful for your video on trip planning using Gaia, it got me started though I've since mostly switched to OnX.
Right on! Happy trails!
#Retevis I'm thankful for the first time solo overlanding video, something I'm planning to do soon. Thanks for sponsoring Roger's channel and this giveaway.
I wish you happy trails on your first solo adventure!
I really enjoyed the video on the dometic go system. Excellent content! Happy Thanksgiving, to you and yours!
Thanks! Happy trails!
#Retevis I’m thankful for your video “Are You Prepared - Prepping for a week long adventure” because it’s difficult for me to organize and I have a tendency to overpack. It helped me figure out what I need and don’t need. I appreciate the content and all your hard work.
Clearly, I was doing that... and still do 😅
#RETEVIS I am thankful for the 2023 Overland Trip Planning. I had been wanting to plan my first real trip and had no idea where to start. I did my first short trip using your guide and am planning my first weeklong trip for next summer.
I applaud you for making it through that long video 😅
Hey buddy from the 160 owner 😂😂 you make it hard to decide to be honest as the way you do you content are so interesting. But I will choose two not one sorry 🤣 "how to get you wife to enjoy going overland" that gave me some very good tips but most off all the best was "how overland saved my life" for me all 5parts where speechless!! As a person that had gone through some few setbacks (my therapist tells me to call them that way )I might say, that those videos where inspiring and touched alot of people not just me mate!
Keep up the great things you have accomplished and just remember that with the support of your family and the toyota you can concor any road life has to throw at you!!
Happy trails buddy!
Thank you for that comment! Happy holidays to you, your fam and your LC fleet!
I enjoy your presentation style and am thankful that you're not a shill. I also appreciate your sense of discernment, even though that wide-mouth water bottle did reveal a serious drinking problem. I hate that when that happens. It's worse for me because of my beard and moustache. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
#retevis I am thankful for your video on how to start overlanding today video AND the one on planning your overlanding trip one!! Both got me really thinking and planning and actually did a overlanding rendezvous in mid October too!! Now working on a trailer setup! Yes I would love to install that radio in my 4Runner
Awesome to hear! Happy trails!
#RETEVIS To be honest I am thankful for a couple of your videos. I stumbled across your page the other day looking at overlanding videos. And I went down the rabbit hole. From your how to get started to how to plan your trip. All of these have been questions I have been asking myself. They really helped me get a direction in wanting to go. I am looking forward to taking the wife and kids out and spending quality time with them while we still have the chance.
Appreciate you! And yes, quality time with the fam is priceless.
#RETEVIS I am thankful for your "Proper Trail Etiquette" video. It seems pretty obvio why, but i just started overlanding and it helps when someone spells out the basics even if some of it is common sense. It may not be common sense for others, so it's good that you help spread that info.
Yeah, if I could bottle common sense...
I'm glad you find that one useful! Happy trails!
#RETIVIS Your GMRS shootout was my favorite so far! I have been weighing my options and enjoyed your insight .
Glad it was useful! Happy trails!
#Retevis I am thankful for you real life stories. Like the one about the people driving by in the middle of the night, and the other couple you let camp near you in the same video. In addition, I actually did appreciate the one about the Retevis vs. Midland. I have the Midland GMRS handhelds, and this made me rethink what I wanted for inside the truck.
Thanks for your comments!
#retivis Outstanding video! Even though we use a travel trailer, your videos are helpful. Most recently your review of camp chairs has helped us!
Trailer, RV, vanlife, converted school bus... who cares, we all share the same adventurous spirit! Safe travels and Happy Turkey Day!
The thing about the backwards hat is it's only lame when there's no reason. Hat backwards in a boat going fast, using a headlamp, under a car, all valid reasons. Still like the clip on light though.
clip light for the bill forward bullheaded people like me 😅
#retevis I am thankful for your getting started videos your humor kept my attention and you are actually trying to help, which is very helpful. finally used some of your tips on dispersed camping in the Allegheny national forest.
Nice! Hope you had a good time in Allegheny!
#RETEVIS I'm thankful for your ICECO high back camping chair because I am a big sasquatch of a man and I am always looking for a comfy camp chair that can take it.
I hope that one works out well for you! Happy trails!
I like some of the others an thankful for your getting started video. When I was thinking about stating overlanding I watched and subscribed then. I continue to enjoy your videos. Both the content and the narrative are great. Keep up the good work.
#retevis #gratitude
Glad it was helpful! Happy trails!
#retivis I think your overlanding basics video was one that I was able to use right away, where the EZ Flat air compressor more recently
helped me decide on a great purchase. Thanks
Sweet! I bet you like that compressor 😉
Heads up: The Olight link isn't working. Gonna pick me up one of those and the water bottle plus lid
Thank you so much! Fixed. fxo.co/HPRH
The 1st video that I watch & subscriber after is “ How to start overlanding” . You & me using a hat all the time 👍🏻
👊🧢
Great gear ! And being a new 4runner owner I'm all over anything I can outfit it with , p.s. good info on the bluetti 😊
Thanks for watching!
#retevis when things go bump in the night video is my favorite. Never thought about camp security until you pointed it out and definitely going to bolster my security in camping.
Be safe and happy trails
#Retevis - Great video. The videos about depression and how you started have been beneficial to me starting overlanding and just getting out of the house.
Good for you! Enjoy your adventures and Happy Turkey Day!
#Retevis Im thankful for your how to start overlanding today video, it helped me get over the thought of needing all of the complicated gear and fancy lifted truck in order to start overlanding.
That's right, just do it and build up from there. You don't go off and buy a Stradivarius to start learning how to play the violin. Happy turkey day!
#retevis thankful for your camp chair video, spent the extra money on a supported chair and it was a game changer for me and my back
Nice, glad you like that chair!
#Retevis I am thankful for your beginners guide. I found it entertaining and informative.
Thanks!
#RETEVIS
I am thankful for one of your recent videos about things going bump in the night. I think you are the only video I have seen.on this topic.
I'm glad to know it helped!
Way overprieced stuff you don't even need. Basically you only need a loin cloth, a flint and a knife made of obsidian that you can source anywhere. That Bluetti sale is so enticing!! I don't super need it...I have the EcoFlow River Pro but the price of the AC180 is nice!! I am thinking by the time I need to upgrade, spring summer next year, more solid-state units will be out.
Wait wait wait, how much for the loin cloth though?
@@ggg4runner free...skinned some roadkill and cured it with salt from the earth. It's economical because my 80 series Land Cruiser gets terrible MPG> 😁
#Retevis
I really enjoyed your first overlanding adventure in Mendocino. I live in the Bay Area and wanted to find places to explore with my 4Runner. Thanks for the videos and your pleasant demeanor. Your videos are easy to watch, have good tips and are inspiring. Thanks you
Thanks! Happy trails and Happy Turkey Day!
@@ggg4runner You too brother.
Thanks bud! Another good video. I think camp gear is constantly evolving and improving as newer tech comes out making things smaller/lighter/easier to use.
Totally agree. Happy Thanksgiving brother!
#RETEVIS
I am Thankful for your video in which you talk about your struggle with depression, I think it was “How overlanding and an old forerunner saved my life”. It was real and brave and I know you helped a lot of people. I appreciate your review of gear and I think your videos are well done and funny too! Thank you :)
Thanks for those comments! Happy Turkey Day!
@careym8437
you won the #Retevis giveaway but you haven't reached out to me yet. I'm giving you until 8pm pacific time Dec.13 to follow the instructions on how to contact me in this video ua-cam.com/video/e6-lDLwcWkw/v-deo.html or I will pick another winner.
Your six part series on mental health and overlanding helped me get through a tough time and the loss of a dear friend. It was an inspiration to start our journey. Our initial trip to Joshua Tree didn’t pan out due to Hillary and fire bans . Instead we chose to camp and celebrate the life of our friend at Lake San Antonio. I don’t need the radio, nor have a rig to put in. I hope someone who can really use it , wins it. Living near Sequoia and Kings - we plan to keep his memory alive by continuing to enjoy life and all that it has to offer. #CharlesSights we miss you , love you. Thanks for the memories Rastas!
My condolences. Thank you for sharing your story.
@@ggg4runner ❤️
#Retevis. I'm thankful for the video on the Retevis vs midland radios. I hadn't heard of Retevis but after your comparison, I can see that the midland is lacking a lot of update
Nice! Glad it was useful!
@@ggg4runner I subscribe to many off-road/overland channels (over 50), and your channel is one of my favorites. Very well done videos, and, heck, you're just entertaining. (Like
4xoverland and Ronny Dahl. Informative and entertaining. Yay!)
OK where did you find the WX voice! LMAO so rad
Google-fu! "NOAA weather Paul voice TTS"
#RETEVIS im thankful for your "first time solo overlanding trip". i myself have been apprehensive to do solo trips until I did one the start of this month, it truly opened my eyes and help me with growing myself. and lets face it, making that dad lore for the future haha.
😆 "When I was your age I had to 4LO it to camp and home again uphill both ways w/o lockers in the snow and only had 31s while bears and sasquatchs hunted me."
Glad you enjoyed your solo adventure!
@@ggg4runner oh god what an adventure! im still sorta scared about going into 4LO, the buzzing feels like your breaking it. the previous previous owner broke the front dif somehow, so when i bought the car i got a broken hunk of metal in the trunk too. got a new one and cv axols at a junk yard from an old tacoma. 4wd works now but im always nervous shifting 4H and 4L, i trust the mechanic who fixed it but still. anyways, thank you again for the amazing content, its always inspireing watching your videos :D
#Givingthanks
#RETEVIS I’m thankful for your last video of the trip in the Sierras. I camp there a lot and now am going to try and find your spot you had. Also I’d be putting this in my 87 FJ60 because that’s going to be its first trip after I’ve been shaking her down on the road.
60-series are badass!
@@ggg4runner thanks! I absolutely love mine. When I’m not at work I drive it more than my truck. It’s just a vehicle that’s fun to drive.
@@ggg4runner thanks! Looking at getting my wife into an 80series as well
#RETEVIS
I am a gear wh”@& and I am not ashamed of it.
My name is Roger and I'm a gear wh0r3... 11 steps to go
Got the 1000ml bottle and sport top delivered today. I feel like a real dummy but that sports top does NOT seem to fit. I only see one size of the sport top on their site so I think I got the right one. Did you have any issues?
So that's what I thought at first too and it's kind of weird but if you get about a 1/3 turn on it where it's nice and tight feeling it won't leak. It doesn't spin several times to tighten up like the cap it comes with. Thanks for your support!
I got a call from GSI and they told me the wide mouth sports top is not meant to fit the 1000ml bottle. They are sending me a bottle that it will fit for free. Very good customer service!
@@karyrogers8873 That’s great news! Did they say what size bottle? Mine seem to work so I’ll keep using the 1000s.
@@ggg4runner I believe it is the 720.
I really appreciated the "How to start overlanding in 2023" video. My brother and I are in our 60's and were planning our 1st dual 4wheel drive adventure in the Pisgua Nat. Forest in N. Carolina. I was way over-thinking what I needed to carry. That video kind-of brought me back to reality. We had what we needed in our trucks, slept in our trucks, and cooked on my tailgate. Already planning another adventure! Hey bud, thanks for the simplicity. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. God Bless!
So glad it was helpful! Happy trails brother!
#RETEVIS - Thankful for your 2023 Overland Trip Planning, and your Pormido Camera videos! I retired recently, gave my car to my teenage daughter, bought a used Taco and am prepping it to hit the road and doing some overlanding this spring. I will definitely need and install the radio.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into your vids. Your style and humor make them all very entertaining and knowledgeable.
Congrats on retirement! Happy Thanksgiving and happy trails!
Genuinely grateful for your video on getting into overlanding.
You and I have a lot of the same thoughts when it comes work/life and nature. The difference is you’ve made huge steps to follow this passion of yours. I have 2 young kids which makes it challenging, but I’m so stoked on my stock 3rd gen 4Runner (manual) and have plans on building it over the next few years.
#retevis #gratitude
Balance is key. Passion becoming work isn't always ideal either. Happy Turkey Day to you and your fam!
#RETEVIS. I am personally thankful for the Overlanding saved my life series. As someone that suffers from PTSD for years in the Fire/EMS service. That series helped me to understand that there are others that enjoy overlanding do it in order to help in the healing process. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Thank you for that comment, appreciate you! Happy turkey day and good luck!
#Retevis thankful for the *first time solo overlanding vid. Gave me the nudge to get out and do it myself. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!❤🦃
Awesome! Happy turkey day and good luck!
#retevis I’m thankful for your overlanding saved my life series. Being outside is therapeutic to me too and getting my kids out with me is a joy.
If only I could bottle it and sell it... Happy trails to you and your fam!
