Just discovered your channel.......Great vid's.....being a 'Yota guy makes it even better...having a GX...LX & LC in the garage too ! Too many good camping spots to mention......See ya around maybe sometime !

@bobinpodunkutah welcome to the channel and thanks for the kind words! Sounds like you have EXCELLENT taste in vehicles 😄

yeah Utah has like 100 best campsites.

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! This is still probably one of my favorite videos I've edited to date. Cheers!

That truly is a special place. I would've loved to have seen it when it was full of water!

Hey, welcome to the channel. Glad to have you here, and thank you so much for the kind words! Lots more to come from this Utah trip.

Thanks so much! This was one of our all-time favorite videos to put together and edit. It's wild to think we're closing in on 10K subs. Super grateful to everyone who has followed along with us!

Thanks so much! Your kind words are greatly appreciated. We're kind of doing our own thing over here, even though it's a bit different than most of the other successful overland YT channels, so always great to hear that people enjoy it. Many more adventures are on the way, so stay tuned for more!

Agreed! Never been anywhere quite like it

That's fair. It's probably more of a clearance concern than a traction concern. High clearance 2WD would probably be fine.

Thank you! We had a lot of fun putting this one together. There's a lot more to come from this Utah trip

Definitely a must-see spot whenever you get down that way. We're already trying to figure out an excuse to get back there!

@@WheretoNextOverland well here’s a couple good excuses in case you need to go right now: What if simulation theory is real? Better get to Utah before I find out; I forgot to wave at that guy on the trail, better head back down so he doesn’t think I’m shunning him; solar eclipse is October 14 this year, I should leave now to get a good spot.

@@scottalpine hahaha, those are exactly the type of flimsy excuses I'm looking for!

100% worth it!

Thanks man! Appreciate all the support and kind words. I think this video is my favorite yet. Been working hard to level up our editing skills, so that's awesome feedback to hear!

Thanks!!

Thanks! I think we mentioned it in the video, but that was Alstrom Point. Normally we refrain from sharing specific camp spots but in this case, this one is far from secret. But .... it's INCREDIBLE. Our favorite campsite of all time without a doubt. If you want to go out there and have it all to yourself, a weekday is probably your best best. But there are a lot of good spots out there to choose from!

Hard to go wrong in Grand Staircase ...

Agreed, Southern Utah is incredible! We were there about 5-6 weeks ago as well. Didn't run into much snow, but we avoided doing much high elevation stuff for that reason. The longest planned distance between fuel stops was about 100 miles. That's about as far as I like to go without carrying additional fuel. Allows us the ability to backtrack to the last fuel stop if absolutely needed

Percolator coffee is, of course, an abomination.

Thank you! This one, in particular, was a lot of fun to put together.

Considering we alternate between percolator and instant for our coffee, abomination is our preferred flavor. 🤣

@@WheretoNextOverland I've been known to "cheat" with those little Starbucks instant packs. They's not bad at all. I always keep a few in the dry goods. Thanks again for the vid.

@@pala4833 agree! Dare I say it .... instant coffee is underrated. (Queue the mob with pitchforks in hand)

Yesssss!!! I wish it wasn't nearly 1000 miles away from us. Haha

@@WheretoNextOverland being from Colorado, we spend a ton of time down there. Every time in town we eat at Escalante Outfiters😀😊

@@bluecruiser2019 thats awesome! I would 100% do the same haha

They are absurdly good. Not all small town pizza is like that. Not even the better pizza places in the front range of Colorado are that good.

Yeah that's fair. I've had some pretty bad small town pizza. That was the beers talking 🤣

Thank you! And yes, 33" tires. 285/75/16 to be exact

Not challenging, just slow going

Mid April

That's a good observation and an even better question. Not so sure I have a good answer, but I definitely think that the National Parks have a pretty big advantage there, in terms of recognition. EVERYONE knows the National Parks, but I feel like few people (myself included) really have a good grasp on where the National Recreation Areas are, and what points of interest are in them. Of course, if we are going to be exploring an area, we'll do some research and I'm sure be able to find some points of interest .... but as a general observation, I don't know that the masses really understand what a National Recreation Area is or isn't. From a marketing standpoint, I might suggest that the National Recreation Areas could push to position themselves as being similar to the National Parks in important ways (dramatic landscapes, pristine nature, etc) BUT without the massive crowds that have taken over a lot of the National Parks. For people like us, who enjoy being out in the backcountry, but prefer NOT to be surrounded by loads of tourists ... National Recreation Areas can be a great option.

Go find another channel to watch, I guess. There are plenty of Overland channels with twangy guitar and classical music for you to enjoy. Bye 👋
