That guy that flipped the trailer mad respect his positive attitude to keep going is amazing 👏 🙌

"Swing wide, it's a trailer" lol, glad everyone and everything is ok

Great video! I'm happy to see that Tom was able to finish the trip.

Hi Marco- We saw your rigs by the ArtPark. We’re the ones who left a note in your windshield. (We also met you and Tom on your first outing together a few months ago and took some pics with you!) Anyway…You three definitely had some setbacks, but overcame them. Way to go! That wind really was brutal, and it was cold. Sorry, Tom, for the damage to your tent. Keep up the good cooking and the good vibes! Thanks. Jennifer and John

That looked like a great trip! Two things to always remember, especially in the desert. First, rattle snakes are territorial. They will return after being moved, so move them farther than you think is sufficient. And then move them a bit further. Second, rocks are too stupid to realize that they caused a problem, and they never move out of the way. So, it's best to always be smarter and quicker than "that stupid rock." Thanks for bringing us along! That food looked amazing and smelled even better! :)

Your friend is really going all out to provide the best for the group and he may have packed overzealously. As an old Navy guy, I would recommend lowering the center of gravity as much as possible because visually the trailer is slow to right indicating it is top heavy. Thanks for a great video and wish blessings for future travels together.

I've been dragging a trailer way before it was cool, for over 20 years. Never tipped it. But, then again, I use a solid pintle hook and lunette ring it'll only go over so far. I'm also always the slo poke as I travel a lot slower than you guys are moving. I'm glad everything turned out ok for you. !!

Great video Marco! Very cool seeing your version 1 and 2 trailers out there! Love Tom's setup with your "old" trailer - still looks brand new to me! Great job on the tire rim fix and roll recovery of those trailers, and good practice to know how to get out of a bad situation. Wish I had been there!

I don't watch Marco's vids often enough, but every time I do it makes me want to go out.

Glad all made it safely home and enjoyed the trip regardless of the challenges! Thanks Marco for another great adventure.

Fresh simple ingredients for a well cooked meal. I love that you show love to mealtimes while out on your adventure.

Thanks for great video, I couldn’t believe how easy that trailer tipped over but it didn’t affect the Jeep. Glad it all worked out in the end. I’m excited to come out and check this area out this week. 😊

Excellent video and capturing some beautiful views of this region. Enjoyed seeing friends having a great time despite some adversity. Patriot campers appear very capable! Thanks from a big fan of your content.

Love the cooking instructions! Great stuff as always! Thanks Marco!

Pros and cons to those articulating hitch couplers. Tnx for the video Marco.

Another awesome adventure! Great video, Marco. :)

What an AWESOME experience to have met you guys out on the trail. Great video Marco! I’m sorry to hear about both your trailers saw some damage- but it did make for great footage 🤘🏽 Can’t wait to see yall again!

Hey Marco, thank you for your videos, and more importantly, including mistakes. Although I take no pleasure in other people's costly mistakes, for 50+ years, I've held the belief that it is wise for us to learn from others' mistakes than our own whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Marco the shrimp looked incredible!

Sorry that happened to his trailer thank goodness everyone was there to help, I also tow a trailer but a teardrop modified and that’s a scary thought since everything I do is solo. Your friend has a good support group around him👍👍👍👍

Man oh man you guys are sure hard on equipment! Lol! Marco, you really bring the desert to life by your descriptions and narration. I’m surprised you didn’t eat that snake for dinner I bet you would’ve made it taste great! Glad you relocated it to a safe place. Real world excitement this trip with your wheel and his trailer rolling. You couldn’t have planned it better. Just shows how quick things can go wrong but by staying calm and thinking things through everything turns out alright. 👍

Great Video Marco! You always make me hungry! Glad the trailer wasn't hurt too bad.

Lo material se recupera🎉🎉 no paso nada ,,muy buena camaraderia🎉🎉🎉 animo raza.

I always enjoy your videos and your channel, thank you for sharing your experiences! ❤

Nothing like camping with Marco! love you man 👊🏻 God bless you ❤

Wow. Exciting trip... in more ways than one!

Wow 😮 thank god everyone is ok 👍🏼

😮oops.

You have a great off road Jack setup. Many folks do not even think about the need for a Jack like that. I have been carrying a Hydraulic and not the Highlift for a while and prefer this setup.

Comradery :) Awesome!

Well said - adventures humble us and teach us.

I enjoy watching great people doing great things

awesome and outstanding as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.

outstanding video! glad the trailer was okay and that no one got hurt!

Man i love watching you do what you do brother. My set up isn't nearly as fancy as i have a Jeep WJ and a homebuilt squaredrop trailer, but im also not looking for the most radical off-road trails and steepest obstacles. For me its simply the freedom to get away and explore new places and to see the magnificence of nature in a way that most people never will. Im also a disabled veteran (USMC Ooh-fucking-RAH) so i do require a few more creature comforts that others might not. My ultimate goal is to transition into full time overland lifestyle once I'm able to better afford it. My son (who is nearly 11 now) and i have already taken a few epic trips down to Baja, to Mexico City, and up to Prudhoe Bay/Dead Horse Alaska. Trips that wouldn't have been possible for me without a trailer. The ultimate goal for us is to circle the globe with our rig and to see as much of the world as we possibly can. I currently live in the woods in Alabama but still have my old house i grew up in just outside of New Orleans. The plan is to lease/rent out both houses to provide income for the trip. Perhaps if our paths ever cross. Ill buy you a beer as thanks for being part of the inspiration that got the ball rolling! And that cook book looks awesome! Ill definitely be getting one and perhaps ill collect some recipes to share for the next one! God bless brother and semper fi!

As always, great video Marco!

Wow!

Man, I never been to places like these, so really thankful to you for showing them to me.

Thank you Marco, Nancy and I loved the video…as always 😊

Wooowww.!! Creí que había sido tu trailer pero que mal rollo que una piedra hiciera eso, lo bueno que todos bien y la aventura continuó! Saludos Marco!

Awesome video… congratulations brother… miss hitting the trails with you

I saw that coming. Good job on the recovery guys!!!

Dang! I figured the flip happened on Diablo. Crazy to flip on a rock like that. Glad everyone is ok. We were at Anza last week, beautiful except the wind was insane.

That’s why the reasons why I’ve been a little hesitant to get one of those full swivel free, floating hitches there’s no resistance there so once the trailer tips up on two wheels, there’s nothing to stop it it’s gonna go completely over. With the typical ball hitch you get to a certain point where the ball can’t swivel anymore or at least that’s my theory on the subject., glad he only had minimal cosmetic damage to the rooftop tent, and of course, awnings and tents can be replaced.

Good video! I really need to check out your cook book. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I’ve noticed that many of these trailers are top heavy with all the extra stuff people think need.

Great video! Love this area. Super nice meeting you in Pomona at the Expo last month!!!!!!!!

Happy Easter 2024, Marco! -Ryan

Great video and beautiful scenery.

Looks like an awesome time! Someday I will make my way there to enjoy first-hand.

What an epic looking trip.

Great video! Never good to see a trailer flip but that's a good lesson learned and thankfully the damage was very minor all things considered!

Really love the emphasis of the cooking shots. That’s Marco’s 101. Keep doing it brother. Although I’m pretty sure you left a tear drop when your friend put Taco Bell sauce on your Burrito 😂✌️✌️✌️

S2 is my favorite highway 22miles of fun! Except for Mr CHP watching you😂

Love your recipes! Jeeperia Salsa? Haha - you're killing me Marco! Just need the recipe for that - don't see it in your cookbook, so maybe in the next one? Great vid!

Excellent video as always, food always looks amazing and glad to see the accident didn’t stop the trip.

Great adventure brother. Yes things happen unfortunately.

Saw he took a bad bounce off that inside boulder. Turtle Tough! Stylish new sunglasses - sorry we haven't seen you in Moab!

Awesome video, I really loved it..

Stuff happens. Keep on keepin on.

Saludos from Phoenix...my friends were doing an expedition out there and saw you. Thank you for another great video...hope to see you in Flagstaff for the expo.

My stomach sank as i watched the trailer roll. But im amazed at how little damage was done.

In my younger days, I managed a cattle feedlot. I was fairly new at hauling a cattle trailer. I was using an old one ton GMC pickup to pull a 32 ft. goose neck stock tailer with nine fat steers weighing about 1,050 lb. each on board. I turned too short making a right-hand turn and clipped a city light pole. I radioed my boss and when he arrived in a few minutes all he said was "looks like you had a little problem". I was afraid he was going to fire me. I worked for him for 3 yrs. and he never mentioned it to me.

You're in one of my favorite areas.

Great video Marco

Mannn!! Yup those things can happen quick!! Glad you made it. Great video! Great food! I think we share the same skills! Haha. Cheers from Chicali bro.

Regardless on how you camp/glamp or what you bring, it’s inevitable that something will go bad. It’s a matter of when. And when it happens, hopefully you’ll have the parts to fix it or have the “know how” to fix it. And the same goes when it comes to medical emergency &/or high stressful situations (aggressive mtb lion/bear).

Grear video Marco, I remember those good old days in the late 70s in my 1954 Willy Wagon with just the esscentials...lets hit the Jacume Trails soon and have mantarraya quesa tacos. Saludos from The Coyote Blues Ranch near Tecate Collin Bueno😊

Great video! Marco, you have a great narration and at times, it almost seems I'm listening to Jeep poetry.

nice one Sir

Great video and good trails! It's too bad about the trailer, but it held up well.

Marco, loved the video as always, that is a place I’m intrigued to hopefully visit one day. Very sorry for the mishap with the trailer. You took it very well, considering the price of your trailer, but I understand you gotta go with the flow. Also I do love your cookbook as well. Being a retired chef I always like experimenting. Have a great Easter

Hey buddy great video! I just want to suggest to you that you mite want to get a frog gig. That was a pretty big rattler you moved and I Thank GOD he wasn't aggressive cause he would've had a good reach on him. I'm glad he cooperated with you! But if you get a frog gig and you run into a aggressive snake you can gig him and once you gig him he is yours and not going anywhere. Then you can do what you want with him safely and not get bit but of it was aggressive your pole could be bad for you! I've had many gigs in my life and make my own handles for frogs nut I got one at Walmart and it's perfect. It has 4 tines and it's bout 4 to 5 inches wide and that's what you want. If you get one thats bout 6 to 8 inches wide your tines are to far apart and a smaller snake can go between the tines and you could miss him. The Walmart gig comes with a real light metal handle that telescopic out about 10 to 12 ft where you don't have to get close. And if it's calm like the one you got you can lay the gig flat and pick it up like you did. I was getting 4 to 6 copperhead at least evert year at my home and once in my home and when that happens you don't play and one of us has to go! And one more thing you put that rattler in the rocks but at night when it gets cool they will come back out in the open or lay on a road cause it's warmer to stay warm so think bout that next time buddy especialy it willbe dark most of the time when they come back out. I Pray this willbe a help to yall and others! Sorry my text is long! Yall take care and Happy Trails my friends!

Nooo! The mistake wasn’t taking the turn too fast or not seeing the rock. It was not turning wide when towing! Trailering 101. Sucks to learn the hard way. 😳

Bummer about the trailer, but you guys made the best of it. Enjoy your video’s!

Thank You 🙏🏻 For Caring For The Snake 🐍🥰

Saw the video tag and surely thought “ Nooooo” not Marcos’s trailer . Sorry to see your buddy rolled your old setup , and glad the outcome wasn’t that bad overall . Since watching you and Brad on his channel my wife & I have become instant fans & I only just today realized “ I hadn’t subscribed to your channel “😵‍💫😬. Well NOW I have Marcos , and my Mrs & I have been eyeing your cook book on your link and will be purchasing a copy in very near future . As we are heading to Flagstaff in middle of May for Overland Expo we are hoping you might be in attendance to meet in person & thank you for all you post & have posted on KZfaq. Stay safe , and stay rubber side down man 🤞😎👍

Yeah, tough lesson to learn the hard way! Glad everything on the trailer was OK. His wife will appreciate the new RTT! Marco, any thoughts on the trailer spring suspension versus air bag suspension?

The “gravity of the situation “; funny guy.

I’m glad everyone is OK. Trailer can be fixed.

👏👏👏

Marco, up to your usual standards, excellent! Now, a question I have asked before, when can we expect your next cookbook?

Enjoyed your video. Sucks that Jimmy rolled the trailer. But you all seemed to keep a positive attitude and still had a good time.

That was a great video! Enjoyed watching it despite some of the setbacks. But, those are real life ones and they do happen. Glad everyone was ok and able to carry on with the adventure! I will definitely be checking out that area in the fall when we return. I’m not sure that I ever caught which rack you are running under your James B tent? Cheers buddy!

The Mojave/So Cal desert area is something that I have never explored.

Marco, that snake was a cool find. Crotalus Atrox. Western Diamondback, that’s as far West as you could find one.

Steel wheels for the win!

Can’t believe how easy that flipped.

Can you share the shrimp taco recipe? It looks so good!

I was wondering if a Ram 3500 with trailer would make it on this trail, then saw this 24:04. What do you think Marco? The scratches could polish out...

Melodramatic.

Where did you get that lid at where you cover your food and when you remove it you have rolled up burritos,lol, I got to have one of those, things happen out on the trail glad everyone is ok, keep the great videos coming

Are those fishing rod holders on the bumper at 24:45

Moral. Trailers are not 4x4. So just keep them for towing some sheets

Marco, you're an awsome chef...Anza Borrego is a beautiful desert but like all deserts when the wind blows it can be challenging. Thank you and your friends for a great adventure. By the way how does that hitch work when twisted with the trailer roll over?

First Saludos desde Connecticut.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Sorry to see that happen. Is the clamshell fixable?

By any chance are you in Oregon currently. I was on my way home yesterday on hwy 58 and saw a rig just like yours.

Shiny side should be up & the rubber side down 😊
