    You're doing great, kid. Your storytelling has really progressed, and you've found the magic of making a connection. Your grandfather's connection with old Tom has clearly picked up again with you. Now, as you travel to new destinations that feeling of a connection will draw you even further towards an answer. It'll be up to you through storytelling to make we the viewers feel what you're feeling. As you just did.
    Stop by and visit Johny Ringo Peters grave on the other side of the mountain. There you'll find my connection. We carry the same family name. Yep that Johny Ringo ...

    The old stomping grounds. The roads look a lot smoother now then they use to. Your story telling and homework that you have put together has defiantly progressed over time with your trips. That is some of my favorite land in the whole SW. I had some really great times with your grandpa in those hills on our hunting trips. Those were definitely some of the good old days. Great job as always son. Love you! Your Pa...

    I appreciate the fact that you document the history and experience of the places you go. I don't mind that you have a Rav4 or any other vehicle. It just goes to show that expensive rigs are not needed. IMHO, just don't go alone if you are not in a true high clearance vehicle. Since I have found your channel I am making notes of interesting places to go to experience what you have shown me. I look forward to 2025 for the high country. I see you are over 15K subscribers now. Congratulations.

    I’m a HUGE fan of this new rig and your old RAV4. My business had an old rav4 years ago and I loved it so much I might just get one in the future. There are far more people who have small suv & crossovers than have full size rigs. I always look forward to seeing your new videos. I drive a full-size SUV & jeep.

    LOL, I took a rental car over Middlemarch pass last time I was in the area. Wondered if I'd make it or have to turn around, but I did. Got more comfortable as I got out on the flats toward Pierce for sure. Spent most of my time and young life on the Sulpher Springs side. We would wander about looking around mines, for pretty rocks, arrowheads, and gather acorns to eat. Although a small acorn you could eat them raw as they did not have the bitter tannins other acorns had. Went there with a Christmas tree permit once, damn hard to find a good tree though. Thanks again for the memories.

    Nice video and cool history lesson. I love history i also try to implement some historical places in ny journeys. I do have an Rav4 Phev (Prime in US) and it is a very good overlanding rig. Yes, old school rigs are cool and nice to drive but in Rav4 you can combine very capable and efficien daily driver with overlanding vehicle. You basically need only one vehicle. I do have a skid plate and it is lifted 1.5". Next is tires.
    I do live in Finland and im little bit jealous how good your trails are. Winter is coming so i need to wait like 6 months to get to my next trip.
    Anyway, nice vid maaan. Take care.
