turns out my knee was infected, probably at surgery. I just had another surgery this Friday to get it cleaned up. They left the acl graph in there because it did not look bad. But this explains the discomfort that made me go home sooner.

I really enjoyed that whole area! Did you head south from Queen towards the Texas border in the mountains? We started heading that way because I thought it would be really cool, but we wanted cell signal for Christmas Day, so came back towards Queen.

@@RevereOverland No. I did the Caverns, then checked out Sitting Bull Falls. From that area I followed some BLM roads westward into Lincoln NF. (That was difficult as there’s a lot of ranches to work around). Camped on the ridge, then went north into the Cloudcroft area. I tried navigating the Sacramento Mountains area off pavement, but there’s so many dead ends and private land. Near Ruidoso I decided to take a sure route to Santa Fe and did a section the Lifestyle Overland Enchanted Rockies trail. That went along the Capitan Mountain Wilderness area, and is absolutely stunning.

@@kyle_throws_tools nice! I put together a route from the Canyons through the BLM land too, but it was late in the day, and the very first turn was a road that just didn't exist, so we took pavement! It's been a while since I watched Lifestyle Overland's ERT. I'll have to check it out again.

It's like having a second full time job!

Thank you!

Lol! I thought it was really cool, but we definitely preferred the 20+ Celsius we had the previous episode!

We needed the snow in the desert southwest. Snow in the desert is beautiful.

Thanks for sharing!

That would be an incredible trip! I’d love to do something like that in one big run at some point, rather than a few weeks at a time, but work keeps getting in the way!

It was so nice! We had it on full blast when it was 17 F, and were a little too hot still! We used it to heat both mine and Andres' tent a few times since it's easier to use than his diesel heater, but you lose a LOT of heat when trying to split between two.

I just Googled some pictures, and the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks look really cool!

I tried to get it patched, but they couldn't do it. We settled with a plug!

You should! The Arizona BDR was great, and I plan on going back to do the whole thing.

Thanks 👍

Thank you! Will do!

It really is! There are plenty of rental companies for when international travel opens up again!

Thanks. I've definitely gained some inspiration from his videos.

Thanks!

You’re not the only person who has said they want more cooking! I’m not much of a chef though!

And yes, things are rough across most of the country at the moment! We unfortunately had to cancel a trip.

@@RevereOverland haha...get with it! doesn't have to be gourmet style...just some good home cook'n. also, I find it very interest to see people's camp kitchen set-up. It'll add a new dimension to you channel and get more subs...guaranteed.

@@RevereOverland thank you!

I don’t. Fire/burn bans are so common when and where I travel that I just don’t bother anymore.

@@RevereOverland Thank you

Big Bend is probably my favorite. I have a feeling I’ll be spending another winter there in the future!

Camping or living in a house?

@@RevereOverland campervan/motorhome/RV. not a house.

@@nealtran6844I'd assume heating an RV is probably a little cheaper. The heater is cheaper and they don't use a ton of propane. An air conditioner costs more and needs a generator to keep it going. This is some guesswork and rounding here, but running the propane heater 24/7 is under $10 a day in propane. Running a generator 24/7 is around $30 a day in gas at $2.50 a gallon. Of course, when you're somewhere hot and dry you don't need to run the AC constantly. You'd need a battery and solar setup for the propane heater, and a slightly bigger battery and solar setup could help reduce the AC costs too, since you wouldn't need to run the generator as much.

@@RevereOverland so with RV, it's cheaper to stay in a snowy place, rather than in a sweating place. the food taste better too, yeah?

I based my pronunciation off a Nat Geo show I watched, but pronouncing it as an h makes a lot more sense!

Revere Overland that's the correct pronunciation; pronounced as h; after all, I used to live in Tucson and Phoenix in Arizona. I ought to know! Right?

Yup! I feel a little dumb for not realizing that's how it should be pronounced!

Revere Overland not to worry! You are enlightened now! ;-)

Thanks! The biggest complaint I get is the music, because everyone's tastes are different. I assume that's where most come from!

Not at all, it's still going strong 40k miles later. I do need heavy duty springs in the rear though!

I do, but I wanted to put the spare on and get the flat one professionally patched since I was going through town. Turns out the hole was too close, so it had to be plugged!

@@RevereOverland oh ok, just making sure because a plug kit is mandatory

I watch people do such fancy camp cooking like stuffed mushrooms... It always makes things like my grilled cheese or chili look really boring lol.

32.31179, -110.56314 You'll need an empty truck bed and some heavy duty gloves. Neither of which I had.
