Chris, I appreciate the Taco Bell vs. McDonald’s analysis at the beginning on this video. You can’t get that kind of content on any other overlanding YT channel. This is why I subscribe.

Last I was there I was in a 1970 Chevy blazer. Lots of fun was had❤

Great video. Get to see parts of Arizona that are more to my liking, rich green colours . Every time you cook I keeping thinking of how Shannon saved you life.

Definitely the Bell. I love a great burger but a burrito is excellent road trip food.

I just spent almost the entire day working and doing yard work. It’s very relaxing to watch a new episode of Venture4WD after a long day. I much rather have been exploring trails up in the cooler pines of Arizona than sweating it out here in a very humid part of Texas. And Taco Bell over McD’s. Although I’d rather have McDonald’s breakfast and coffee than T-Bell’s.

Hi Chris! You were so worried about making quality content for us, but look at you now! Still the same great content and still the same great quality videos! Thanks and stay safe out there!!

Very nice. Thank you! As a kid we would drive across I-40 and as soon as we hit Albuquerque a required stop was at Taco Bell, at the time the most eastern restaurant in the country... :) I know generally where you were. It's a great area although I havent explored that area in a few...decades?! (I guess we'll have to join your Patreon now-finally) Keep working your way Southeast towards the Rim road area too. We were exploring north of the Rim road this last weekend in our Revel. It's also a beautiful area. Some areas are heavily used, but you dont have to go far to be far from others on roads less traveled. Keep on exploring. Safe travels.

Thanks for the video, Chris 😎👍

I am now used to the newer format of transitioning back and forth from Jeep to van - van to Jeep. It's a nice varied, vicarious experience. And the 'solo adventurer' aspect makes it even better (for me, anyway). All the best!

Very beautiful trails.

My spirit animal is a steak quesadilla 🔔

15:39 blood n guts in that bucket buddy RUN! lol

I am always amazed by the trails you can tackle in the Revel. Such a capable rig with an awesome amount of comfort. I feel ya on the cooking. Filming and cooking is tough.

I have no patience. The shorter line wins. 😊

The Baja Blast is back!!

Chris, where is your chainsaw? I used to carry my Stihl gas powered chainsaw EVERYWHERE in northern Michigan, and I used it quite often. Then I (had grandkids and) switched over to using an electric battery powered chainsaw (DeWalt), and carry a couple of extra batteries in my Jeep (which I keep charged via the onboard electric output). With all my recovery gear I'm (relatively) unstoppable!

Great video Chris!

Taco Bell, of course!!

Well if I have to pick. It depends on what I want that day. Always hard

Taco Bell. Most healthy out of the two pending on what you get. I have not eaten at McDonald’s in almost two decades. Only thing I go there for is plain bisects and coffee when I’m on the road and have no other option.

Nice area. We have similar escapes here in Colorado. If it's 100+ down here, it's 70 in Leadville! I occasionally eat Taco Bell (mainly Breakfast), but McD's has nearly perfected the French Fry.

Taco Bell. And the first grilled cheese is still edible. 😁

I haven't had a taco bell in close to 30 years but the last time I had it it was really good. I'm kinda partial to Mcdonald's since I work there but I only eat there once a week and that's on my meal break otherwise I don't go there to eat it tastes good and all but I try and not to eat too much of it.

That old farm house and lake were seen in another overlanding KZfaqr’s video last week haha

That tree across the road would have been no problem for me, as I carry a small Husqvarna chainsaw in my two-door Jeep Rubicon which I have cut many trees like that and larger here in the mountains of Oregon. In fact, we have so many trees that blowdown particularly in the winter months that you would not be able to travel very far on these logging roads if you did not carry a chainsaw and constantly clear roads.

Taco Bell for the win!!!

I've said it before I'll say it again I love when he used the revel what a great van

Taco Bell! No contest!

Taco Bell for sure! Love the video. Are you going to Overland Expo PNW?

The patron GPS Data is so worth it. It is seamless and easy to use with GAIA GPS. That’s I use.

Probably McDonalds. The last two times I had Taco Bell (quite a few years ago) I had to make a mad dash to the bathroom the following day on both occasions. 😂

McDonald's for breakfast, Taco Bell for everything else.

Probably McDonalds. I think going to Taco Bell in Arizona would be like going to Red Lobster in Maine.

Sure if you already up near PV, but if you are down around Tucson and Phoenix you are screwed.

Toco Bell. McDonald's makes me very ill. Toco Bell just cleans me out. The broom of the fast food industry.

Anyone who is coming to the Lower Northern Pennisula of Michigan there are EXTREME FIRE WARNINGS POSTED. Crawford County, Michigan has a forest fire south of Grayling, Michigan. That fire is 90% contained, as of now 3600 acres are burned. Careless camper on private property is said to be responsible. We haven't had rain in six weeks and none in sight for the next ten days. Please be careful with camp fires anywhere you go. Thanks, Be Safe

Chris, house living seems to be a good thing for you. You look as healthy, if not more than I've ever seen you. Great hair cut. 😊 Being I just don't do fast food, I've never been to a Taco Bell. I hear it's a lot healthier than McDonald's. So I'd probably do TB. Thanks again for another great video. Hi to Shannon. ❤❤

Well considering the last time I thought I’d save some money and go to Taco Bell. It was $50 for two of us to eat and we didn’t get any beverages. Therefore if I have to go with fast food I’ll get a cheeseburger from McDonald’s because it’s the most economical thing to get but I’d much rather just pull over stop and cook something from scratch.

Our local McDonalds is always out of something or a piece of equipment isn’t working thus we’ve abandoned it for good… Taco Bell occasionally, however whatever oil they utilize tends to disagree with my tummy… Hummm, no good in stock or take a chance on tummy issues. I’ll go with Taco Bell, at least I can eat as opposed to staring at an empty menu… Chris it appears you’re happy having a place to call home. When’s Shannon going to come along?

Taco Bell all day long. Never been a big fan of Mickey D’s. I only go there when traveling and there’s nothing else around that I know or maybe for quick breakfast. You can usually count on their food to be good quality everywhere. Late 60’s I work north Santa Barbara (everything around there is $$$$) and Taco Bell was a co-worker and myself’s go-to lunch place. Back then the Green Burrito was the best bang for your buck at $.50. Two Green Burritos and a soft drink almost daily. Even though there’s one within 15 miles I don’t think I’ve been to a Taco in 20 years. Funny for someone nicknamed Taco. “Heeere Leezerd Leezerd……” Lol

Taco Bell for sure

Breakfast? Mickey D's. Anything else? Bell!

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

11:36 - I'd love to know your GPS location in that scene. Beautiful area in spite of the smoke.

☺️💕

If I need a good colon cleanse it’s Taco Bell. If I needs to be stopped up it’s McDonalds.

What part of PA? Spent time as a boy where my family is from, a little north of Carlise.

Awesome restaurant review ! TACO BELL for the win !!

If it's in the town i live in. Mcds, the taco bells are so mismanaged and terrible. If it's anywhere else in the world, t bell wins every time!

There are no milkshakes at taco bell!

All stock with 35” tires

I wanna throw hands with The Bell for ditching the double decker taco. But I'm still picking them over Maccas 110%.

Low top van such as chevy express or econoline with a lift and 4x4 is the ticket when it comes to offroading vans....sprinter way to top heavy

I have been in the area you are in

depends on time of day...breakfast McDs, anything else TB

I don't go to fast food restaurant too often but if I have to choose between the two I'll go with Taco Bell.

Beautiful scenery in this one Chris, but I don’t think Taco Bell or McDonald’s have anything fit for human consumption if you’re interested in being healthy.

Crunchwraps for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Did you ever name the Rebel? Kinda looks like an elephant going through the Serenghetti. Majestic in its own right.

Ha you need to get the az backroads&4-wheel-drive trails book check it out it's a good book

Guess I just starve to death. I haven’t eaten at either in over 20 years.

Taco Bell!

We all know Taco Bell will win the franchise wars. Then all restaurants will be Taco Bell.

In n out…..

Taco Bell every time over Mikky d's

McD's because their burgers ain't bad and neither are their breakfast sammiches

Great video thank you!

McDonalds, no question. Through arduous practice, my DNA is now programmed to identify it as health food.

If I have to choose it would be Taco Bell, but prefer my own cooking lol

great content....bad diet

Chris… another great video. Can you share your process of getting shooting permits. I wondering if there are smoother and less confusing ways to get the okey dokey to shoot in national forests. I also choose Taco Bell! :)

It looks like you're using a different induction cooktop that what comes in a Revel. Why the switch?

What? Trees in Arizona 😂

Every restaurant is Taco Bell

Still confused as to why you don't carry at least an electric chain saw? Even if just for emergencies. What if a sudden storm shows up and you end up stranded on a track with a tree, or multiple trees down? All that preparation and yet none for this very likely scenario.

In my reality there's the 3 shells and all restaurants ate Taco Bell

Taco Bell

Does Shannon drive the Defender or Orangy when you aren’t home? (Or something else). She handled the Defender well before!

Ring that Bell for me...

Taco Bell,...no question

Taco Bell!!

@venture4wd This might sound nuts but put mayo on the outside of your grilled cheese. It's life changing.

Never McDonald’s

Taco Bell all day

It's Arizona, to many authentic options to choose Taco Bell.

Taco Bell 👍🏽

Id eat grass before going to either

I know supposedly Taco Bell is the only one to survive the franchise wars (demolition man) but they are pricing themselves out of bussines, less product and more money....

Taco Bell all the way, Mexican Pizza 😊

We choose Taco Bell

McDonald's 👍🍺

Next time hit up Gios pizza by the circle K on the west side of the freeway.

I would go to McDonalds. Taco Bell is ok but I would go to a "taco shop" if I wanted a taco or burrito. Ok I saw more of the video and I see I have no other choices. I think I still go with McDonalds.

McDonald’s 100% Taco bell was always trashy and came with a sort of Americanized Montezuma‘s revenge…

Taco Bell hands Down. But then I am an unabashed lover of Mexican and even fast Mexican food. And yes, the Baja Blast rocks the socks off anything at McDonalds

i'll starve.

Chris we gotta figure out a way for you to get a chainsaw in your setup somwhere. How many times have downed trees got in your path?

Ha ha ha Chris, my answer is still T...no, MC... no, neither. 😁

I’d go to Taco Bell, but they’ll be out of business soon enough. Every time I stop at one they’re out of something like lettuce, chicken, nacho fries and Dorito shells. I think that leads to less return customers which will eventually lead to their demise. Given the choice of only those two, I’d be skinnier though…..

As someone who has followed your channel rof years , I couldn't give an f about sprinter vans in arizona

neither taco bell nor mcdonalds serve real food.
