Overlanding 4x4 Adventures In Arkansas | Would You Cross Or Turn Back?
In episode 2 of our Arkansas overland adventure, we continue to explore what the "Natural State" has to offer. We see some incredible places, explore some incredible trails, and find ourselves in a situation where we have to either backtrack from a day of travel or push through before the storm starts. This episode has some beauty, some relaxation, and some anxiety.

Falling Water falls during the summer is pretty busy with people and it's not running near as much. Yall probably filmed it at one of the best times. If you want to try fishing in those streams...wait until dusk, grab a light, and small pole with bacon. Crawfish will grab onto the bacon. Gently lift them out of the water and shake them into a bucket.

So much fun! Hey T, what’d you do to shut down your 12v system during the crossings? Are you just running the Redarc fuse setup, and pulled those? Or or you running circuit breakers instead and just flipping that switch? Disconnect solar as well? Or did you just disconnect from the batteries all together?
@IndependenceOverland
@IndependenceOverland 11 ай бұрын
I didn't shut sown anything but my 110v stuff. I have breakers on everything else, so if it were to blow I could reset it. Definitely not the best way to do it. I don't cross water this deep very often, so honestly the thought didn't cross my mind like it should have.
@davidrucci

@@IndependenceOverland gotcha. Yeah I was just curious cause with my Redarc system they recommended fuses and as much as I trust their knowledge, I like breakers sooo much better too. So much easier to shut down and turn back on. Just curious. I’m using their fuses for my dual system. But I may switch out to breakers in the future. Thing I didn’t think about was that I now have my compressor/locker wired to my aux battery which means if I did shut it down for a water crossing, I’d lose my rear locker abilities. Damn hindsight! 😆🤦‍♂️.

It's called the Ozarks dude. Not just Arkansas. It's the OZARKS. So few people have zero clue about it. It's like america can't comprehend the region exists because it doesnt fit in with "the narrative" of how geography is laid out. Rockies and Appalachians and nothing else.

People in Springfield Missouri call that area the Ozarks too. Its an expansive area. Should I call Colorado "The Rockies" instead of Colorado? Chill.

Yes. And you should definitely get worked up about random comments on ur youtube channel. Lol. (I knew you were a high strung string bean Colorado type. mR. paTaGOnia) "I'm like such a doCumeNtary filmmmm maker." u probably tell urself in the shadows of ur mind. Lol, no youre not. You shoot drone footage and 'oVerLAnD' and use final cut with lessons u find on youtube to edit, yet somehow act like youre Magellan X Chris Nolan. You make 'coNtEnT' and take urself way too seriously. Ur driving trucks into the woods to camp mate. Get over urself. Everyone is starting to get sick of people like u and this bs. Rednecks and boy scouts have been traveling those roads for decades and never required military grade equipment. These things are worth taking the time to say and call out. It's becoming cringe. @@IndependenceOverland

Arkansas is a shitehole. Visiting is much better than living there I guess. Some beautiful scenery but between the bugs, humidity, weather,allergies,etc etc glad I’m rid of that place. P.S. the compass on my FJ has been blinking for years now lol.

🤣 peak summer can be harsh in that part of the country! And on the Fj compass, it’s like I set it and then it starts blinking within a month every time. And it’s not like I’m disconnecting my battery or anything 🤷🏼‍♂️. I think most people have one that blinks at this point!

@@IndependenceOverland by the way I have to switch out my seats in my 08 FJ but I’m not looking forward to dealing with an airbag light in the dash. I’ve seen your video of your seat swaps but would really like details on how you did it. 07 vs 08 difference makes a difference or not I don’t know.
