Nice to see some East coast over-landing for a change!

one question of many, after you are going to sleep the probability to have an emergency is down to 0? the solution to all of your problems is a camper :)

Give a shout next time you're up if you got any interest in whitewater rafting.

I pull a larger fishing boat so the rooftop is nice for this purpose.

Great content, great video. As a lifelong Mainer I can say you captured the state wonderfully. Two suggestions for your next trip (we always come back up here)… - buy a Maine Atlas and Gazetteer…. It is a wonderful resource… - check out the area of the ghost trains near Eagle and chamberlain lakes. I highly recommend the campground at the Caucomgomoc Dam - it’s intensely primitive, a trip to get to and incredibly scenic. Subscribed.

Degree with taking in and out, is a really pain in the ass and you need at least 2-3 persons.

Does the Jeep ever re-fuel, on the trail, like the FJ?

Where in Maine is this

once my jeep is back up and going i will be taking this trip thanks

I have a question for you. Say someone got a free pickup topper that already had a rack on it. Say that rack came off and this was mounted and sealed directly to said pickup topper. Cut the flooring out of part of both the topper and the tent so you can stand up in your pickup bed, change, make meals etc. The bed, when needed, can fold down but offers a seating area up front when not sleeping. But instead of paying many thousands of $$$ more for a pop up topper, you make your own for around $2k. All theoretical but you owning this, could it work?

I never got the pt of a rooftop tent, other than they are cool, since every animal worth fearing can either knock the vehicle over or climb up there.

comparing jeep to fj, for it to be fair, it has to be the same year of both, and with a 4 door wrangler. i own a 2013 fj, and i owned a 2013 4 door wrangler. the wrangler did not come with diff lock or a A trac type system, and it still held its own off roading. the jeeps 3.6 v6 motor is just as good as the fj's motor.... i swapped to an fj because i drive 300 mile trips often and the fj is slightly more comfortable on longer trips, and i like the shorter wheel base. The jeeps roof and doors are made to come off so of course the cabin comfort is compromised. Also toyotas reliability reputation slightly nudges out the jeeps pedigree reputation. I never had an issue with my jeep in the 3 years i owned it.

Can’t love this video enough! I’m also in PA and am currently building a 2004 Forester overland vehicle. This video is so on point with all my reasons for building it! It’s like I was watching myself! I’ll definitely be following along on your adventures.

For any vehicle the recommended mirror adjustments are rear view should show the whole window while in normal seated position. Lean to the right until you head iis in line with the center of your vehicle and adjust the right side mirror so it barely shows the right side of your vehicle. For the left side mirror lean to the left till your head touches the silent side window and adjust the left side mirror so you barely see the left side of your vehicle. There a video that shows this and explains why.

We have TentBox Lite 2.0 ❤ It takes less than 4 minutes to deploy or pack. What’s the problem? (Loved the video, you’re absolutely right to highlight these points but they all have, arguably a counter upside to the argument too).

Great bird hunting there, we camped there, we camped by St.Francis lake a few years ago on a Moose hunt and it was beautiful. Glad I had my lifted Dmax between the mud, washouts and floods it was needed.

Wolf and bear tracks! Stay home! Maine doesn’t want you! Losers!

After having the tradition clam shell roof top tent and now a hard shell roof top.. id never go back to swags or a ground tent. However the hard shell is quick n easier than the old bulky canvas clam shell. Pouring rain - animals raiding the camp sites, i love being above it all

What road did you have to turn around on going to baker lake? video looks like you entered at Telos checkpoint, north on Telos Rd to Umbazooksus.. then did you try Pingree rd to Round pond? I do a lot of trips into the NMW.. and yeah theres been trips where most I saw were birds... and maybe traces of animal life... to some trips I saw multiple deer, moose, and rabbits... its kinda hit or miss.. but have had better luck the further north we have been. fuel consumption is a main concern.. I carry about 11-12 gallons of spare fuel, and alwasy top off my fuel before leaving Greenville, or wherever it is we enter the NMW.. If you guys ever want to see some Awesome campsites just let me know. I live in the midcoast and try to escape to the woods when I'm not working OT. I have a built up 2016 Tacoma TRD Offroad w/ rack, rtt, and all the gear including sat coms.

Thats an amazing area to be. Last season we went up there and ended up at red pine as well. We actually camped in the site next to where you guys set up. Definitely itching to get back up there!

Hell yea man. Nice video. Yhe family and i spend a few camping trips there every year. Lead better falls in the beginning

outback is more gorgius

Hi nice video how did u install the awning 270 any video available I have awning 270 on smittybilt rack 2ich bar I mount pretty tight only thing sucks every time I open thing slide down fit I have to put my pole on no matter what and tight the rope any help where I don't have to put pole every time I set up ?

What's the mileage you getting brother

Door dash in my 3 in lift 35 tire fj...i know i knoww..but im semi retired and i use the money to go fishing and buy silver coins.

Now that’s my new dream trip to do thank you

The problem with those is that it'll annoy the drivers on the other lane and they'll keep blinking their lights at you the whole time.

I drive around first and have my fun with my truck before I set up camp…… once I set up camp it’s to eat, relax, and sleep….. that’s why I get the quick cam shell type of tent…. I don’t need a fancy one that opens up at the side and has extra room. I don’t need all that……. 2 each their own.

Don’t get a tent don’t do it get a ground tent - RTT owner of 4 years lol

Im getting a rooftop because: I never stay 2 nights in the same spot. Tents, blowups, pillows, sheets, take up 1/3 of my storage space inside my jeep.. you can keep all of that inside a harshell. I’m getting a tent that takes less than 5 min to setup.. that’s the only kind I’m interested in

Great video! I need to get up there more. Do you share your tracks?

Congratulations to you, your dad and little men, what an experience!!! me starting in this new world of overlanding, is a lot of work, details to take in considerations to make those videos, the aerials shots are fantastic, keep it up you guys are doing great showing all that beautiful nature this country have, God Bless the US, your videos are helping us a lot. keep them coming. Thanks a lot!

I originally got the FJ because I needed a daily - when driving on country roads long distance everyday if you hit a roo you want it to go under you, not through you windscreen.

Ive seen guys drifting with their tents open 🤣🤣🤣

I feel like you lied about everything you just. Like there's no way you believe this stuff you just said 😂

I’m really liking those headlights you’ve got. I’d love to get the same for my FJ, what are they?

Strange question i know, but which pants are you wearing, the brown with black knees? Ps great video I'm a fan

Yeah. The fact that you're grounded at camp unless you pack your RTT up first is the main reason I'm still trying to convince myself to buy one. You hit the nail on the head when you said "in an emergency".

We used these a lot in SA, and it's nice when bush camping because of animals, but in almost all other cases they're crap. They're heavy, draggy, obvious, and if you stay in a spot for more than one day, you have to pack it up every time.

how good does this hold the winds at the beach?

where did you buy the front bumper and how much was it?

oh by the way, which tan is your fj? on camera it looks darker than mine but i thought the quicksand color on the later fjs was the darker one. just a trick of the camera?

Love the video brother, wish you the best of luck 💪🏽🔥

hope your channel really takes off mate. this is top notch. cant wait to get out there like this in my fj again. youve got some mad beatiful terrain out there. here in mn it can be difficult to find good trails where i am but every once in a while ya get a good one. want to find the time to head outta stateand discover the rockies next year or whenever my paid time off gets rolled over

how big can the rear tire be so it doesnt block the rear window opening?

Fantastic video. I can clearly see why you love the North Maine Woods so much. I also love your cuts and transitions, very nice editing. And now you have me intrigued by the coffee. Aeropress FTW. (I grind my own at camp too).

Best vid yet!!! Nice!

Great video. Noticed you guys made the switch from percolator to Aero press. I love the look of that percolator, I just hated the coffee!

Looks like fun! Adding this one to my bucket list 😂

Love that FJ! Great video angles; thanks for sharing!
