    Terrific vid. Having hiked the North Cascades years ago I was smitten with your footage on the trail. I always wanted to return when I could. Now that I live in Utah I have put the trip back on my bucket list. Thanks for the beautiful and real experience. Bugs and all!

    I think the behind the scenes narrative is great. Thanks for showing Wa. The state has so much to offer, from Sea to Mountain and desert. Although we’ve had a bunch of rain this winter and spring. Thanks Chris.

    The lock down has not hampered your creative juices, excellent episode. The tailgate table review was well done and informative. EZOverland has created a nice clean website. I agree, the magnetic closure is what separates them from the rest. I'm from MI and have gotten my Jeep stuck up north too, wo recovery gear. I enjoyed that UP episode and could relate. Keep up the great work.

    A tip for recovering boards. Set up clips on them and have, either thin ss cables or lines, and attach them to the car (I usually connect the front to the rear ones if I use all four) so, the cables on the front swing around the outside of the car and are connected to the bumper. This way. When you make your way put of the muddy mess, you drag the boards away with you to a cleaner, drier surface, where they are retrieved with more comfort, instead of buried in the mud back where you were stuck. Simple, small carabiners and thin ss cables work best for me because they are the easiest to clean, and can be contained in a small box or bag.

    Chris, I truly enjoy watching your videos. I recently found your channel during Christmas break 2019 and lately with pandemic I’ve been able to binge-watch. Your channel is clean and love the fact that you love nature, very inspirational, I personally have been to few places on your episodes. Love the idea of reminiscing on your latest episodes. Best overland videos!

    You know Chris I watch a lot of videos and subscribed to many and whilst I make many comments I have never told anyone that I love their videos .. You are the exception .. from start to finish your videos are exceptional .. Fun to watch with an honest dialogue.
    You set yourself apart from the rest .. not quite sure how you do that but you do.
    Now get busy with the clippers .. Trust me they'll be no looking back.
    Stay safe brother ..

    Thanks as always for the great videos Chris. Wifey and I always look forward to seeing current or past adventures and your gear reviews. We are in NW Phoenix and will be using Summit Off Road because of you once we get our Rubicon. A long time ago I was a young boy scout and my Pop and our Troop did 52 miles on a portion of the John Muir trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountains....This hike you are on reminds me of that trip. Thanks again brother! 👍👊🙏

    I for one am absolutely loving the reminiscent videos.
    And I am sure that you are looking forward to getting back out there.
    Of the many channels that I follow, yours has always ranked in the top two. And the care and quality that you consistently and persistently put into your work is very evident.
    I have mentioned this in comments of previous videos. My six year old granddaughter is a huge fan as well. And if she digs it, you're golden!
    Stay safe and keep up the great work.

    I bought that table, because you introduced it to us and I could see the two biggest selling points: no rattle design and one handed opening. I love this table and feel a little sorry for folks using the double pin style.

    Another great experience you bring to us each week Chris. You never disappoint. Thank you for the scenery, the commentary and the ideas of places to go. I think I’ll grab my boy, jump in the Duramax and head up the backside of Mt Lemmon for the day. After watching this I need some outdoors.

  • @chicobicalho5621
    @chicobicalho5621 4 роки тому +1

    (Darn)... for a fraction of the regular fare. Patagonia is very tourist friendly, especially foreigners on their own cars, and locals do more than sufficient English for communitpcation. Now we have time in our hands may be a good opportunity to plan out a trip down to that gorgeous cone. Ruta 40 is amazing, and so is Ruta 3, but the Carretera Austral is priceless. Lots to explore. Then there is Peru and the Inca Trail BYOO (bring your own oxygen.. ; ⁰ ) Great Channel ypu got! Helps me fet out there. Thanks for doing it.

  • @ronaldheimann3132
    @ronaldheimann3132 4 роки тому

    Regarding the GP-Factor Maxtrack locks ... Chris at $250 for the pair I simply cannot justify that purchase to protect $600 worth of Maxtracks. Every retailer has their own pricing justifications which typically cannot be criticized. However every purchase we make does get personal scrutiny and rationalization. For now the GP-Factor product is bookmarked but I’m sticking with my arrangement of 3/8” SS bolts and nuts for mounting
    and a lockable knurled 3/8” nut for security. Not as elegant but affordable with the same net result. Stay safe and keep up the posts. You remain a positive encouragement for all overlanders. BTW I particularly appreciate and enjoy your “Schooner Tuna” attitude and solution to maintaining a great relationship with Patreons!!

    Maxxtrax....hah, that was a good tutorial that I think a lot of people that own them and have never used them should appreciate. After one finally gets past the sticker shock and purchases a set of 2, let alone 4, then tries to find a decent enough place to keep/store and secure the static structures, maybe you'll get to use them. Honestly, I use them for leveling the vehicle more than anything. However I have used them to recover and consider them (along with time) the most important piece of recovery gear I carry....you'll eventually get out of any mess using these. I use my winch a fair amount as well, but the winch has a lot of limitations even if you're configured to use it on either front or rear....my initial recovery attempts usually start with recovery boards, and Maxxtrax are the most durable and best design I've witnessed. Thanks for the vlogs!

  • @rael6_4wd

    Great video Chris. I absolutely LOVE that tailgate table. I had actually purchased a cheap knockoff of one on the Internet last year. It arrived from UPS about the time I saw the episode where you had your table installed. I quickly decided to send the cheap table back, and I’m going to get the same one you’ve got. I haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet, (being retired , funds are slow coming in) but it’s time to do so. I’ve also been looking at the Terafex tire carrier. It’s great quality, and most of all, offers the ability to mount accessories on it. I’ve been without a spare since January when I put 35” K02’s on the Jeep. My new Overlander (the Jeep) is slowly coming together. I had to retire my old one (Tacoma) last year. I’m hopeful that this SIP will have done its job soon, and we can all get back to our adventures. Until then, sipping on my coffee, watching your videos, is REALLY helping. Thank you for that!

    hi Chris - I like your detailed equipment reviews - I am neither a Jeep owner or an overlander but it sure looks interesting, (i do own a truck camper combo) . As far as cutting your own hair - go for it - I have been doing so for two years now so my clippers are long ago paid for. Just remember the difference between a good haircut & a bad haircut is two weeks !!

    Once you feel you have seen much of North America, one consideration is shipping the car to Buenos Aires, and doing Argentina, Chile, and Peru. Patagonia in itself is a magic place worth spending three months, if possible, if you visit areas like Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, or tucked away settlements like Cochrane, or Villa O'Higgins in Chile. The Carretera Austral is gorgeous, and well worth doing it all the way from Villa O'Higgins to Chiloe Island. That's a three week deal easily. El Chaltén in Argentina is a two week stay if you are s walker, the same (at least) for Chiloe Island. Then there are the lake region around Bariloche Amgostura, and San Martin. Puyuhuapi in Catretera Austral and the gorgeous

I wish I could take a few month off and travel in my own vehicle with you while your on one of your adventures I could learn so much from your experiances..any way keep up the great work stay safe.
