We’ve been following y’all since we moved to NWA a little over a year ago. I’m in heaven in the Ozarks with my Jeep :)

John got the shackle of shame award in his first gen 4Runner. Happy Easter everone.

Your a good spotter. The 360 📷is cool

i sure love your videos; really neat to see the dual intros to start.

The Ozarks sure are beautiful.

Found your channel a few weeks ago and have been watching you ever since. I live in Mississippi and love watching all your adventures!! I also enjoy the 360 views you and Cara provide.!

Love seeing all the beautiful places you go

Another great video! I’ve been watching for the last month and all your videos are very good, right up there with TrailRecon! Keep up the good work. Like the drone footage!

Hands down best part was the please fall please fall. lol

The Tacoma driver is a legend!

Damn awesome

You are putting some great content out..Keep growing..👍👍👍

Good as always! Looking forward to the next one.

I love that west side of the Ozarks near the Mulberry River. I’ve heard about Frog Bayou Falls but haven’t made it over there. Thanks for the video of trail. We’re looking forward to coming up in May to explore some trails east of Byrd’s. Keep livin’ the dream!

Great content, way to go guy’s. Arizona Boy

Awesome stuff! Really hope I get to hangout with you guys one weekend, though I will skip the sketchy stuff.

The note for your guests was priceless.

Can’t wait to see this. I’m really looking forward to a trip to your stomping grounds!

Another great video! stunning beauty in the Ozarks. one day I will overland there

Another Awesome Video. Keep up the excellent work!!

I love that sketchiest trail in the Ozarks. We ran it the other way not knowing about the exit so we ended up winching up it. It was a blast!

Great video, as always, Matt.

Looks like you all had a great time. Thanks for the great video I can't wait for the next one.

Great video! Thanks for being such an awesome guide and camp chef!

Man looked like a ton of fun. I can’t wait till the day comes when I make some trips like that. Wow wow wow. Really enjoy the video. Take care and stay safe

I don't have a spare bumper again for you Nathan haha

Subscribed. Love your videos!!!!

Awesome adventure!

Good morning

I made it to Frog Bayou Falls last year, but my stock Isuzu Trooper couldn't handle the western half of the trail. I dealt with the rocks just fine, but the ditches were too deep for me.

You can actually legally cross the waterfalls at Frog Bayou to access private property on the other side. Jim Walton owns 159 acres right across the falls. He’s got an easement across the walls.

Exciting trip through ( bold ? ) forest .

Overlanding in its simplest terms is off road vehicular camping... There are many channels who in the interest of cranking out weekly content have resorted to doing trail ride picnics and calling that overlanding, but doing so certainly falls short of the basic definition of overlanding. The "hotel note" was hilarious. need to work on that wifi access though :)

You guys eat well! The pasta looked really tasty.

Hey Matt. We love your videos. When are you going to do more real world overlander videos they are my favorite

Matt, when you get a chance, could you ask John? what a-pillar light mounting brackets he's using. I too have a JL and I what to install the Rugged Ridge Snorkel but I thought I was going to lose the option of mounting aux a-pillar lights. Great vid. We can't wait to get back up there for a long weekend. (Also, can't wait for our vacation in Ridgway, Co (just northwest of Ouray) this Aug/Sept)

This looks awesome... I need friends like this. Oh yeah, I also need a vehicle like this... haha Goodbye lifted Subaru Outback and hello Wrangler in 2022!

Hello! Enjoy watching your videos, I am up in Iowa and would like to plan a trip down to the Ozarks. However my group all has full sized trucks, extented cab Silverados, all mechanicaly sound and sitting on at least 33 in tires. I know that limits us on a lot of trails, but would we be able to find trails that we could do with full sized trucks?

Thumbs 👍

Looks like a blast. Wish that vehicles weren't so obscenely overpriced right now. It's really put overlanding out of reach for most people. Even Geo Trackers are selling for exorbitant prices.

I wish u will achieve your goal of full time adventure. So would I someday. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

I have noticed that you always use your portable fire pit even when a fire ring is already made in a campsite. Can you speak to why that is? I’m curious.

I would not want to take that trail til I get my Tacoma's tires upgraded... As a "Toyota Guy" I personally am inclined to rate overlanding vehicle choices as follows (strictly my opinion based on personal experience and following other overlander youtubers from around the world) #1:Jeep Gladiator Diesel, as it seems to be the best balance of off road capability and cargo capacity... #2 Toyota Tacoma (especially Crew Cab Long Bed)... #3 Toyota 4runner is very popular with good reason... #4 Jeep Wrangler is likely the most trail worthy, but of all the choices here, it has the least cargo capacity which has resulted in a lot of jeeps hauling "overland trailers" (not that I do not have plans of building a "chuck wagon trailer" for my Crew Cab Long Bed Tacoma, thus making it a very long and somewhat awkward trail rig, but I want that ability to set up a base camp and do side trips without having to take down camp... especially during hunting season) I do not include full size vehicles in this list as they are not internationally universal, but here in the states, I would say any of the "big three" single rear wheel diesel trucks, though I would much prefer a 3/4 ton with an airbag helper spring over a 1 ton as the springs on the 1 ton truck, thus the ride is much stiffer. While the full size trucks can handle the camping side of overlanding far easier, they are not as well suited as their mid size cousins on the trails in much of the world. Honorable mention to the list: Classic Land Rover Defender 110 (not the new crap... erm I mean new SUV they have stuck the name on in hopes of some nostalgia sales) but I do not include it on the list because it is increasingly difficult to get one in good enough shape to be considered a serious overlander, and has always bordered on impossible in the states unless you where one of those folk lucky enough in the 90s to be able to afford to drop $40,000+ on a trail rig or can currently afford to drop close to a quarter million on one. on the other hand if I ever move to Europe or the UK for some reason, you can bet I am going to be looking for an exMOD landie. :) I have come to the following conclusion in the 3 decades I have been doing what we have now taken to calling overlanding... Overlanding can be done in ANY vehicle from a motorcycle (though the dualsport people call their version adventure touring, it is the same thing we are doing but with less tires and less gear) so long as it can handle back country access roads. An overland vehicle should have no less than 31" tires (for most of the AWD and even 2wd cars... 33" for a 4x4 Jeep, Truck, or SUV) and no more than 35" tires. More than 35" tires is more for a trail rig or rock crawler, but quickly develops too high of a center of gravity with all the gear we throw on them (full size trucks may go larger within reason I have seen many full size rigs sporting 35-37" tires, and a couple well built trucks on 40s but they are the exception, not the rule as most full size trucks on 40s are going to have too high of a center of gravity as well.) (yes on a trail Jeep I would go 35-37" tires, but on an overlander jeep I would go no more than 35s. As soon as I have to replace my current tires (31-32" ATs) I am getting a set of 255/85r16 KM3s or Geolander MTs (giving me something like 32.8") depending on availability at the time. Until I can budget some lift for my TRD off road, I will settle for loosing some compression travel and install some DIY bump stops to minimize rub. Skid plates are every bit as essential of equipment as recovery gear, and should be installed before you budget for larger tires and lift kits. (IMO skids should be on the vehicle before a winch is bought) and I consider rocker armor such as rock sliders to be a part of a complete set of skid plates as it serves exactly the same purpose in exactly the same way. Us American overlanders have developed an unhealthy focus on fancy gear (and often overpriced gear) (and yes, I am just as guilty as most other Americans at this.) A LOT of the gear I see folks using or bolting onto their vehicle on youtube (and folks I run into when wheeling) is typically not needed, and often overpriced promoted as overland gear to more efficiently separate us from our pay checks.

That first obstacle looks fun!! Is the only way out the way y’all came in?

It was going so well, until you put Cavender's in Sausage Gravy.....That Colorado holds its own.

We are up in the branson area looking for some trail a newbie can cut his teeth on .

Maybe I missed it. What is the name of the trail with the steep down hill? Thanks

Hi from Russia

Would that camp spot be accessible with our 21' travel trailer?

I certainly need to improve my cooking skills.

what diff gears are you running on your jeep?

What town are these trails near? I go to Ozark once a month.

Do you guys get water into the cabin when crossing deeper water like at around Min. 25:00?

What was that round cooking scottle looking thing?

Nasty

I've gotta ask, please forgive the ignorance, but with all the great smelling food that ya'll cook, do you ever have to worry about bears?

Hey

How do you become a supporter on Patreon? I’m North Carolina mountain/Uwharrie JK and Dodge truck would like to come and spend a couple weeks in the Ozarks. Yep I’m retired

Who has the ZR2

As soon as I hear “What’s up?” I cringe. Cheers 🙏🏽🙏🏽😷😷🔥⛺️

Great channel, but some of the most unsafe driving I have seen. One handed selfie filming down a steep incline? NO Spotters? Amongst many others. You can not positively control an out of control vehicle with one hand if things went south fast. Drive first, worry about filming second.

Great videos but I have to address the elephant in the room ?? Dude WTF is up with your hair ? ☹️
