EP1 Return to Alaska // X Overland's The Last Frontier Series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- The last frontier draws Expedition Overland back to discover what’s within as the seven-man team overlands and adventures through the wild landscapes of Alaska. Two newly built Tacomas and a 5th gen 4Runner, lead the convoy with a crew of the young and the "young-at-heart."
The return to this vast and breathtakingly beautiful landscape fulfills a long-time goal for Clay Croft, made even sweeter as his 16-year-old son, Cyrus, is part of the crew. Along with Cyrus, @EFRT Dan and Peter join this crew as well along with Tanner, Ryan Connelly, and a new face with some stories and skills to share. It’s safe to say that no expedition member will come back from this one the same!

Those youngins are so blessed to be able to go on an experience like this..
For sure!!!!! Looks so damn fun
Except for the fact that the old man can't cook! lol
I wish my dad was into camping like this.......... I'm dripping with envy right now.
@@shadow_crne1030 lmao
i can't even afford taking a day off work, or even getting new tires
As a girl growing up on a ranch… this was and still would be… a dream come true. The little girl I was is envious of your boy and his adventures. What a beautiful series. I found it by accident and can’t wait to watch more. The story telling is captivating.
Well what are you waiting for? take the risk
Thankfully Alaska is not a ranch
Toyotas, 35s, Alaska… what more could we ask for?
37s
More drive time ….
Less drama and fake “meaning”
Beer
Less discovery channel styled drama.
The editing is amazing! You guys got some awesome gear. I did this with my Mom's old Subaru and road maps in 2002. 🤣😆😁.
Saweeet!!
Cool, WRX? Impreza? Forrester? Lol. Subarus are awesome!
@@ExpeditionOverland What's the camper shell you got on with the straight black tacoma?
Yeah, you don’t need a manly truck to do manly things, or even be a man;) I lived in Alaska, much better than any tourist visit.
@@ExpeditionOverland I just want to know what you did to get those tires to not rub on the fenders. I'm running 34x11.5 on a -9mm offset and barely clear.
as a dad, i know how special it is to be adventuring & making memories with my own kids. life is a series of choices that become our stories. thanks for sharing yours. 🔥
rich boys camping 101
😂😂😂😂absolutely
I've been looking forward to seeing this series for a long time
Yesss🤘🤘🤘
Wow, was that Expedition Overland or National Geographic? Or is there any difference? Awesome atmosphere!
Thank you!!
They had an offer from National Geographic… thankfully they stayed true and didn’t go that route!
Legen…. Wait for it…
Dary!
LOL. Yes!!!
Simply amazing. From content to editing. Most people can NOT imagine how much work went into this production. Thanks for sharing. Truly appreciate it!
The right crew for the journey, every man has a responsibility to the other.
My wife and I spent 8 months taking care of the Rainy Pass Lodge for the Perrins. They are truly great people. A truly great experience.
We watched your story unfold..... the first episode we have ever watched. We will look forward to seeing Bucky in the next!
As a Alaska Native Inupaiq/Tlingit, I love watching these types of stories/documentaries on Alaska’s vast and beautiful land scapes and how living in the and just being out in the middle of nowhere can really shape and mold any one who comes to Alaska.
I just want to thank you all for teaching me how to parenting and be father.. maybe most of the people just watching your videos for your journeys but I added my life is to be a great father.. thank you so much
This series for sure is going to be absolutely awesome 👍🏼
I am so proud of the youth that have assumed large responsibilities but also that have been provided by you.
This is better than most content put out on Netflix, amazing job guys! I can’t wait to watch this whole series, production quality, story telling, all top notch!
This is better than any TV show you can watch right now on TV
That's why I love you guys. You don't go only for a great adventure but for the history and soul of any place you go. Thank you for share all this amazing experience with us.
Perfect crew + Perfect location = Epic Adventure
Probably the best 45 minutes so far, the cinematography, the surround, the energy- I am just in love with it all. You guys are definitely having the best time of life. Looking forward to more of it.
The fact that you brought three teens with a passion for adventure is so cool, hats off to you. They will never forget this experience.
I went to Alaska when I was 16yr in "96. $160 in my pocket. $100 went to gas travelling from Utah to Denial (friends brother was a rafting guide that I was riding up with). Hard to get a job at that age. Lived in a canvas tent and worked as a dishwasher for 2 months(The Crows Nest). Amongst the best memories I have. Trying to get back this year. And to have your son with you. Epic!🙂😊
I spoke with you for a few when you were at the SLC overland expo at the Fairgrounds.
Outdoor boys was here!
Really excited to watch. The story, production quality, and editing all look top-notch!
Thank you! We work really hard on that!
Watching these videos makes the world around melt. All the news, politics, problems.. this makes you realize there is far more out there and we should stop worrying so much
Fantastic Episode Gents! I look forward to what's in store this year!
It is impossible not to get excited when you appreciate the wonders of God in the world, thank you very much for sharing them, greetings from Costa Rica. I felt at all times with you.
Clay, I've watched your travels for years, from Alaska to the southern tip of South America, Greenland, your wife racing in Africa.... When I saw this new series was coming I was ecstatic! The beauty and cinematography, the story telling, no disappointment here! Thank you for sharing your story.
Everything the ER doctor said is gold.
Videos like this make me wish I had structured my life differently, man what a trip! Jealousy meter pegged off the end for sure. Enjoy and thanks for sharing.
You have woken the desire to discover nature with this awesome gear in a young German bloke
I have been watching since the 1st Alaskan trip and the South American trips. I enjoyed it so much and those were my favorite seasons.hope you'll have a reunion trip with the first crew...Nice to seethe Epic family road trip crew .
"Awesome " is one of the words you say the most....and it's the only word I can say now. I'm waiting for the next episode!
Can’t wait for this series to unfold
Incredible! Spent sometime working aboard a small passenger cruiseship in Alaska after college. This brought me back...reflecting on my time aboard and some short camping adventures I had while up there. You guys truly do great a job bringing us with you INTO every moment. Looking forward to this entire series!
Thats amazing! Sounds like a great time!
Wow…some camping. All semblance of practicality and pragmatism was completely thrown out the window.
Can’t wait to see where you go! Might have to copy your journey in my Jeep this summer!
I watch this series every month. Just relaxing and helps me to remember what I’m saving for upgrades on my pathfinder. Thanks XO team
I can olny imagine the feeling it must be, to take a really deep breath on those mountains, and feel that chilling cool air fill your lungs!!
Mr Clay... you are definitely a very lucky guy to be able to do that... 😃😃😄😄
Hard work definitely paid off 💪👌
Please... keep it up
Eating Nissin Ramen on Alaska is the cool thing ever.
Hello XO from El Paso TX / Juarez Mexico. Trailer looks awesome. Been excited ever since!!
Brought me to tears. Exceptional storytelling and epic scenery. It’s why I’ve called AK home since 1998.
Thank you, Jeff!
First time watcher from Aus.
Incredible. You capture the emotion and importance of adventuring. Absolutely struck a nerve and im so impressed
Alaska is the gift that keeps on giving
Looking forward to watching your next adventure.
Thank you!
"and he doesn't seem impressed", was the funny one . Especially his priceless truly unimpressed 🤣
So excited to see your next series. Love your show and love your passion.
That airplane, old school De Havilland Beaver! Beautiful, what a dream this trip is! Thanks for sharing this!
Born and raised in alaska. Been all over the state and to native villages and remote military clearance radar sites. Been to every coast in alaska multiple times and inland. All of your gear is pretty hilarious to me. Done all these things with a shitty old 1984 dodge prospector van I bought for 700$ in highschool with my friends we insulated and outfitted with a couch and other supplies (beer). Alaska is home.
The look on the doctor's face was priceless!!!
Bro these trucks are so fancy I don’t even think you can call this camping anymore 😂
Gawdayum, these trucks are so genuinely sick!!! You guys must feel an unstoppable sensation while driving them!
Spectacular and mind blowing! XO is doing an amazing job to promote overlanding - I just love to watch your videos. Thank you guys, Joseph (South Africa)
this such a great story and quality should be in a tv show ore netflix. Its good, I really enjoyed it.
Let’s gooooooooooo! So excited to watch this. The trailer gave me goose bumps!
Yes! That's what we want!
This is a trip of a life time that most of us do not get to experience.
Heck ya can’t wait!!!
One of best shows i have seen in a while.
Thank you guys for Sharing your travel or your adventure you are Awesome! my dream is making a trip like you, God bless you all!🙏🍀🌟👏👏👏👏
Top Ramen for the first meal, what have gotten myself into. The look on his face at 11:15 is priceless.
Can’t wait to watch
you have a great mission. I hope a lot of people enjoy it. I was a young man who moved away from boston to rural maine. I had been wandering the woods since I was a boy on my own anyway. I loved boy scouts and all.. we had strict straight men, even viet nam veterans as leaders. I then learned I am part native american. family tree and dna and oh my.. 40 years later after my weird nature. I am within hundred miles of 10000 years. I could not talk like you guys do. I heard a man say once.. "we all live on genetic memory." Sometimes we are smart enough to realize it. Great show, glad to see a new one.
Like my dad always said…“Let nothing but money hold you back”
Well I'm late to the party. But I just realized that these two boys are from EFRT. Love it.
Just got back from a trip to Alaska yesterday, and this has me so pumped to go back! The work you guys put in to produce these shows is truly inspirational. Thank you for your hard work!
You know I am watching this and in debt and scared for my family, and I can't believe how different we have our lives. I may not get to experience this. All this because I may have been born in a different country! Its beautiful. So beautiful that you get to experience this. Savour the whole experience. We dream of such. I dream of such!
Can't wait !!
Cup Noodles reactions reactions were gold.
I know they are trying to build momentum and all that but as an Alaskan... them playing that hyper intense music for the drive from Anchorage to Kenai killed me lol. Havnt finished yet hope yall enjoyed
Yup
What’s the song?
the look on the Dr face when he saw those cup noodles... so funny
Alaska, Toyota rigs and an awesome crew. Gotta make it happen! Going to be a great series
OMG!! Each scene gives me goosebumps! It is a Cinematic and Storytelling Masterpiece! Clay Croft you outdone yourself!
Great camera work, narration and overall production. I just hope people realize that they can have these adventures without making the same kind of MASSIVE financial investment in upgrading their vehicles as you have. Also, no matter what you do to your suspension and what gears you put in, it doesn't change the payload capacity of the truck.
I have been waiting for a series similar to the Montana series ever since that one ended. My wish has been fulfilled
Best overland content on YT!
This brings back a lot of memories. The new crew is dope but ee need to see the old crew back too.
Thank you. I have enjoyed this episode, it has been my childhood dream to take a trip to Alaska. Watching your videos make me want to take a trip down there with my Mitsubishi montero. Quality content looking forward to the next one!
The absolute gold standard for overlanding style content from a cinematography standpoint. Amazing content, and beautifully captured and edited by your video team.
I lived in Anchorage for 15 years and we rarely ever went fishing, camping or riding our ATV’s outside of town through the wilderness without taking either a handgun or rifles. I personally had 6 close encounters with both black and brown bears while camping or fishing. Two of the times we were followed for nearly a hour by brown bears while hiking in to camp in the mountains. I had a black bear steal two salmon I caught that were on my stringer and had put in a large puddle of water that was about 10 feet behind me. I had no idea the bear was there until my buddy on the other side of the river started waving and yelling at me. When I turned around the bear was 10 feet away and looked at me and then the fish and before I knew it he grabbed my fish and took off. Luckily I never had to use my firearm on a bear but the two encounters with the brown bears we had them drawn and one time had one in my crosshairs for several minutes as it stared us down less than 30 feet away before going into the bushes. Moral of the story, don’t go into the Alaskan wilderness unless you’re prepared. Even in Anchorage which has over 300,000 people and is a busy city there’s people who have close encounters or are attacked by bears. You never know what you’ll see or run into in Alaska.
Well said, you must be prepared for the worst experience of them all! Being charged by a Grizzly Bear! You have no time to be scared! 1 shot & you better make it count! The 1st shot must stop him, you could be eaten alive!
Best cinematography on UA-cam
I think it’s safe to say that the videos and gear are awesome. The music and monologue seem too serious for something so fun. Like venturing into the forest expecting a great band and showing up in the woods and everyone is wearing tuxedos and monocles.
This is so RAD! This is what a $400k convoy should looks like!! Subscribed.
This is the most elaborate commercial I’ve ever seen 😅
As usual for XO, fantastic cinematography and narration! The team has really evolved over the years and is really making high end productions. The problem I have is that it seems like they're doing more and more things that are not really associated with overlanding. They're not really focusing on the vehicles, trails, campsites, etc., but rather on things like taking plane rides and rafting. XO has tremendous sponsors, which is what allows them to do these things, but they're not really showcasing those sponsors and their respective products. I don't buy those sponsoring products because they're all typically in the higher end of the pricing scale, but I do love watching them in use. I just wish XO would demonstrate the products, and focus more on actual overlanding, trails, and scenery.
We are an adventure travel series. With that in mind we will wander from the trucks to gain better experiences. We work and live with these trucks everyday. It’s very rewarding to go beyond them from time to time.
This is why i am a biiggggg fan of toyota. Best trucks and beautiful trucks.
I feel very proud of your team on this journey. the atmosphere is very beautiful Thank you for making a good list. let me see #FC Fans from Thailand
Subscribed for Brendan, staying also because it's awesome!
I got to go to Alaska once on vacation it’s was amazing still one of my favorite vacations took the train from Anchorage to Denali and then we drove down to Seward got to go for a ride in a seaplane talking off from lake hood was awesome but seeing those de Havilland Beavers taking off was really cool
It was due to your first Alaska series that I thought I would wind up in Hyder, AK. Years later, I did finally make the move to Alaska, but found myself more interior than Hyder, yet almost as isolated. And your channel has been more than a motivator for me as I have always enjoyed the way you present the adventure. Thanks for bringing everyone along for the journey.
Watching in Australia to see how the rest of the world do it. The country looks awesome and bloody cold considering it's about 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit) outside right now. Also Discovering that they do with lots of Australian products. And also that a hilux is a Tacoma.
A Hilux isn't a Tacoma
This is storytelling gold, thank you
Oh man. I'm just getting into overlanding but have ALWAYS been an enthusiast. We would head off to the trails every day after school and seeing this makes me almost cry. I'm so unbelievably envious of this trip. You have given me a new goal to set and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. We'll done. If there's ever a chance to tag along, I'd love the opportunity
I’ll do it with you bro
S.E. AK is a little bit of heaven on earth in my opinion.. Thanks for letting us in on your journey
Looking forward to the rest of the series .The differences between American and Canadians sure shows up here. Your loaded up like your going to Irak , we Canucks take an extra can of bug spray and a flask of whiskey to share around the fire. Your chance at a wildlife encounter on a trip like this is about .09% , and even then as long as your not stupid the animal will wander off most likely before you even see or hear it. I can say this as i've spent 6 months in 2016 rambling around all the less populated areas of Alaska , and the only bear was on a trip up Denali. Id be more scared of being shot in the dark by my own team upon relieving myself in the bushes and coming back too the fire LOL CHEERS GUY'S SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.
So excited for this. We just bought 10 acres in my home state, should build this spring, if we're blessed. My partner and I are super excited! Alaska is God's land
What an amazing story! I am actually speechless..
This is something I hope to plan and experience one day and the amount of work that went into all of this from everyone, I can't even imagine. Amazing! You just gained another subscriber and I am excited to view all of your content put out! Keep up the astonishing work!
thanks for sharing this most experienced overland travel, i am lookiing forward to the next following stories
So much good to say about your productions. Watched them all. Inspired to plan a few trips including the Pan American in '25. Also, I am a Warren Miller acolyte. That said, a simple production note. A bit over produced. A more relaxed approach with less "mission critical" talk would go a long away to make your awesome work more accessible and thus reach a broader audience. You do you, I will watch. Just a helpful hint from your uncle Larry that did the Alaska thing three times in a GX 310 in '81, '82, '83.
You will refer to him as “expedition leader”
I can agree on this; he is like on some kind mission like Luis and Clark . But its just nice drive and have a good time. Also, relationships in team like its some kind Marines Corp mission . It's a joke, of course. No joke about our best military and veterans.
I enjoy their videos, but the ridiculous amount of gear they display - guns and shells when talking on camera, 20 knives on the pant sides…just seems like a bit extreme…I’ve been sailing/over landing/camping since I was 5 with my dad, and I’ve never ever needed to have so much gear on top of me for any reason. It’s a bit too much, detracts from the great cinematography and the whole adventure.
@@skumancer glad to see i'm not the only one that thinks that. Don't need a gun strapped to your chest when you are driving or getting onto a float plane - a little ridiculous if you ask me.
That’s lord expedition leader.
Nothing forms a tighter bond between father and son like time outdoors. I like how you pointed out the good it does for young men, we need this for the boys of the world so they will grow to be good strong men.
