I like it, but the price is kinda rough.

Accessible in November with the proper vehicle? Can’t find out if USFS closes that trail

Awesome video! I thought I was going to be jam packed with all the kiddos off school. We’re going there this Friday!

Great talk about your Troopys! Honestly I am thinking about making the switch and diving into a Troopy. Been rocking a Vanagon Syncro for many years. They are also a van which makes the Troopy very compelling but with Toyota reliability. The syncro is really fun and simple and raw as well but they breakdown all the time it's starting to feel like driving an antique. Any advice on making the leap?

Good luck, Ben! 🎥👍

This is a very informative video, Ben, and I'm quite sure someone out there could use this information. As always, you found another great spot to camp out at. Take care and keep these videos coming.

What a great video! Super informative but what is this calling someone on the phone business?! lol. That last spot next to the small stream looked awesome!

One app I didn’t mention is iOverlander. It’s a great resource, but in my experience there are a lot of marked dispersed campsites that aren’t legal options. Do your research and confirm the legality before camping!

500 $ 🤣 mine cost 20 ….

Looked like another peaceful outing! BTW - now you got me craving some chicken tendies!

First video of yours that I watched was from 4 years ago at Bowman lake in your 4runner. I've watched every video since, cool to see you out there again.

Great vid. Glad to see you and the Troopy have seemingly recovered from the Alaskan “adventure”! Bowman Lake seems need to add to my list. Wondering what are those rear door table brackets? I’m doing a Cargo Trailer conversion and those would be ideal for my rear door.

Absolutely love this style of video Ben! I can see your creativity shining through the entire video! Thanks for sharing all your adventures! That lake is beautiful!

Very beautiful nature! Good luck Ben!

well, i never thought I'll say this, but i really missed you talking. i sat down in my recliner ( sorry Ben ) with a rum and coke in hand and excitedly watched another great video. without sounding weird, you have such a kind sounding voice. Ok, enough of the mushy stuff 😅 that was one great little camp spot you found. Hope all is well with you, Bandit, and of course, the troopy. Take care and be safe out there

I was there 6/19-21 and passed by a campsite with a Troopy, and I was like, "I wonder if it's that dude?" I was in a Mitsubishi Delica. Hope you had a great time! 🤙

Amazing shots and cinematography. So much time to setup all those opening shots! Fun seeing something combining your old school tripping videos with something new with the more quiet bits. Well done!

Beautiful place! I just want to say, I appreciate all the work you put in to get some of the shots you do. Can’t imagine how many times you have to drive away just to turn around and go get the camera! Lol. Great video!

Great video brother!

Used to be my favorite area when the bridge was washed out! Way too busy since they’ve rebuilt it!

Oh dude I was just there (at sawmill lake) from the 30th to the 1st! So cool you posted a video from the same place a few days later! 🤘

Beautiful 🌲🌲🌲

So when are we doing a Troopy swap? 😜 epic video again Ben!

Good/informative

Hey Ben, awesome vids! What lift are you running front back to fit them 285’s?

The Troopy is a beast nice content camping at its best cheers

Hey mate, that’s the window brand? The one behind the passenger seat. Cheers

Hi Ben, love your videos. Make it easy and start where you are. Travelled a lot in the last years through Scandinavia, Italy, France and Austria with my Citroen Berlingo. Planning to get away from the main roads and move to an 4wd to enhance the possibilities to reach locations which are not so crowded. Btw, I registered on your website through your link but didn't receive your book preview. Would be happy to read /review your 1st chapter 😊 br

Great video man! It’s always fun to watch your adventures!

Check out the “Southwestern Style” Egg Beaters in the carton - it has peppers and is real tasty. Bring them all the time when Overlanding/camping.

Nice job of hiding the bottom😂 weve all bn there

Dont much like the bedourie design bro, bit clumsly. Try the " aussie camp oven" lid has walls for coals & still works as frypan with better handle setup. I reckon anyway. Chur bro. From nz

🎉😊Good luck, Ben!

Hey Ben! Nice to see you out doing some “normal” stuff again! I have awol for the past few months and left off with you still in Alaska! Got caught up the past three days! Have been trying to find some of your old blogs where you’re outfitting the 4Runner…any hints on how I can access those! I’m not a techie but will keep trying!😊 Was thinking for awhile that you should just spend the entire winter in Alaska! You almost had to! Not being up on this stuff, how would I support you some financially? Do you use Zelle? Glad to see you doing well!👍

I think the next video should be a POV from Bandit! Strap a GoPro to him and see what he captures on camera. Lol. Good to see you out enjoying what you love!

Great video Ben! Love these ones that capture the relaxing atmosphere around a troopy camp

Wow, Ben, your videos just get better. What a beautiful campspot. I must say that every time i watch your videos, it makes me want to load up the 4runnner and go. Seeing you and Bandit in such a beautiful spot is such a pleasure to watch. Even as strange as it might sound, i enjoy watching your cooking skills. Keeping it simple is always a good thing. Take care and be safe out there. One question, though, you don't want to use a mosquito spray? I normally use them just because those little pests drive me nuts.😂😂

Feels like an old school Ben video! Great to see this back again.

Ben - Nice video. It was exactly what I look for from an overland/camping channel. Good music, editing, videography, and a good dog! Thanks - Dan 🌲🌲🌲 BTW we're camped in N.E. Minnesota and there's flooding everywhere. Too much water!

Think this was one of your best videos.

Nice spot at 24:50

Brother, I keep telling you..............I will see you on the TRAIL...........SOON. GREAT VIDEO brother!

With the weather heating up, you can find us by the water. Where are you getting out to?

Are you running wheel spacers with the wheels and what wheel specs do you have on there. I’m wanting to get rid of my spacers on my troopy

Ha, yeah ... driving this things is the best but very exhausting. I am driving my swb BJ70 since 2004 and to make it a little more enjoyable i added a 4° wedge between the front axle and the spring to change the caster angle. That helps a little to keep the old beast straight on the road and forces the steering wheel to center itself due to more self-aligning torque. The pinion angle gets a little worse but beeing a part time 4wd with unlockable hubs makes this less a problem for the driveline.

Something could go wrong. May be, could be but must not. You know me, my experiences with Troopys over the last years in heavy terrain, deserts,sand, rocks, and the most horrible mud in Spain. We walked right into the trap, neither forward nor backwards, mud like ice😢 in a steep slope and drop sharply, no turn round. What to do? The only possibility we had was going backwards the steep slope in this muddy track. Thanks to the Troopy, she was like an animal. And that is why Troopys are so reliable in difficult situations. Greetings and much fun from Germany from my 78 TLC.

Hi Ben, truest statement ever, the perfect vehicle is the one you already have, it was a renault clio sedan, 10 years i had that vehicle and i bought it from my father, amazing vehicle, made me travel and know a lot of places i didnt know about my country (Chile) and Argentina but it was struggling in remote places, so almost 6 years ago an opportunity came and i sold the clio and bought a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder (R50), and 4wd changes everything, i felt even more motivated to go off the grid, no fancy modifications, with time a 2 inches lift and AT Tires, the rest is standard but i did invest in recovery equipment (no winch yet) and keep it mechanically impecable, almost 270.000 Km and going strong!, i will keep an eye on that book when it releases (and i hope you write a book of this adventure too) and i hope when you get over here eventually, at least i can share a cup of Coffee!

Ben hello, good luck to you and your trusty friend Toyota Land Cruiser! 🎥👍✊🤝💪✌️👏😎
