The look on Marco's face watching others try his food explains why he puts in all the work. That was a look of pure joy and pride. Can't wait for the cookbook.
That was totally it. The camera was on both of them, but rather than watching the guy trying the food, I was watching Marco watch him take the first bite.
As a geology undergrad from Texas A&M we took a 9-day camping trip to Death Valley mapping the the park. Just outside of Death Valley I found a 500 million year old trilobite.
And yet these school kids Still think they're gonna "save the planet". In 100 years all that are alive now will be dead. How arrogant to think they're gonna do anything that really matters. Pity the fool ...
@@fjb4932 well that’s a pretty shitty outlook on life. That’s not how progress works dude. Someone doesn’t make a new groundbreaking scientific discovery overnight and it magically fixes everything. You build off of other peoples ideas until someone puts it all together. It’s small steps that add up. Do you think Einstein was the only person working on general relativity or he just started from scratch?
Just got word on Monday that our Ecodiesel Rubicon Wrangler is done being built ETA to dealer between 3/1 - 3/15. We are so psyched and can't wait to get it on the trail. We also grabbed an M1102 HMMWV trailer to turn into an overland rig. Thanks for all the content Brad!
Old mines cabins an history of those before us is my passion love it, if you get those glow sticks when going in mines drop on floor along the way works good saved me few times, Marcos cooking wow 👍👍 great adventure guy’s thanks for sharing brad as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍
I like the way Marco watches how you react to his cooking. Someone who truly enjoys the process and satisfaction others receive from his labor. Culinary wizard of the outback! Like the new paint job too Marco!
Brad you are totally correct regarding the perception surrounding Death Valley, I had no idea it contained so much history. All of your Jeeps look very capable negotiating that rocky terrain, and yes I’ll vote for some walk arounds as well... Thank you for sharing your adventures.
It's fortunate to have someone who can deliver a part to you in the desert. You guys were lucky to have made it back to civilization before it broke. Great video and thanks for taking us along.
AWESOME ADVENTURE SO FAR AND STICK TO YOUR RIBS FOOD TOO 😋 GLAD EVERYONE IS HAVING A GREAT TIME 👍 BE SAFE ! GORGEOUS WEATHER SCENERY COLORS VIEWS BEAUTY LANDSCAPE 😀 IT'S NICE TO HAVE SPECIAL FRIENDS YOU CAN COUNT ON TOO . THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TAG ALONG WITH YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Brad, Love your videos. I'm so happy I'm part of the Trail Recon Family. Funny, you started with just an IPHONE when you first got your JK....Look how far you've come!!!! Congratulations I'm sure you worked so very hard. Now you make a living doing what you love....You are truly blessed!
Had to be a Treat Wheel’n with Jim... Cannot count the number of Videos I have watched with Him, and the Trips he has been on... # goodtohavetheexperience👍
My youngest nephew and his friends just did a six day DV trip. All in their secondhand Yotas. So stoked they did it.....Minietta Mine. I spent four days there solo right before Thanksgiving. That place rocks. All of the solar powered lights at night. A National Heritage site. Set up my matress and sleeping bag in the cabin and camped inside! Watching F18 Hornets fly down Panamint Valley in the afternoon. So cool. Had an F18 fly 30' over the top of me off of Panamint Valley rd.
I had to play this for my wife just for the recipe of the meatballs. Then we rewatched it and the rest of this series for the awesome sights and the other meals!
Started binge watching your vids. Love the Death Valley and Baja vids the most....so far. Love that you went through the town of Trona. Some real Hoo-Yah content!
Gotta love Death Valley. Went overlanding in our RV to Saline Valley. Dumb mistake, but good story. We are now mid building an overlanding trailer set up for long trips! Awesome video! Thank you!
If you're going to go in mines, even "Tourist Class" mines like these, wear a helmet. It is only a tunnel if it goes all the way through the mountain and comes out on the other side. Otherwise it's called an adit. The entrance to the adit is called the portal. 13:31 That's not a mill, it's an ore bin. The ore was dumped into it, you'll probably find ore car tracks at the top of it. From the ore bin it was dumped into wagons or trucks and taken to a mill. The table with the rolling spools at 14:29 is where they measured the detonation chord. The det chord burns at a certain distance per second or minute. So if they needed 5 minutes to get out of the mine they knew how many feet of chord they needed to give that time delay before the dynamite went off. The wooden structure at 15:00 was a skip chute. They would put their tools in box, sometimes wood sometimes metal, called a skip cart that was hoisted up the skip chute to an upper level they were working. The level you were on with the cart tracks is called the main haul level, because all the ore from the upper levels came down ore chutes to that level, loaded into ore carts and hauled out of the mine. The ladder going up to the upper level at 15:26 is called a manway. The metal rod to your right (left side of the portal) at 15:41 is a drill bit used to make the holes for the dynamite. The method used to explore mines without getting lost is called the "right hand rule". When you come to a split "always" take the right hand option. Follow that drift to it's end, called the face. Come back out of that drift and make the next right. Always go right. Using this method you should be able to see the entire mine and end up back at the portal. Worse case you just go left left left and back track your way out. Wear a helmet!
👍👍 As an tour bus driver, I've been at Death Valley many many times, but never at those cool places you are visiting with your buddies. Wish I was there with you guys.
some how my camp food never looks as good as Marco's guess that's why he's the master! The look on Jim's face said all you need to say.....it was like wow this is really camp food? Thanks again Brad for another great one.
Glad to see Texas on ur shirt , in am a trans plant and hope to visit family soon , when this mess is over . I Enjoy all ur trips and can almost taste Mario's food
Man!!!!! I've been telling my wife we need to go there. And you guys are exactly where I want to go, I just told my wife and she said let's go. Time to ink it in on the calendar.
"Cover me - I'm goin' in!" Y'all have more guts than I - first thing I'd be thinking at the mine entrance is "How far is that San Andreas Fault?!" (How far can you throw a football?!) Great scenes outside the mines though. Great time of year too, before it gets hot! Love the rigs and having a knowledgeable guide. Thanks for taking us along!
My dad use to prospect out there back in the 50’s and 60’s. He use to take his 51 willy’s up the road to Panamint City when you use to be able to do that.
I love your positive videos.What ever happens you make the best out of it!!! Thank you so much for your work. It keeps my spirits up for future adventures. And the food looks amazing so jealous!!!!
Hola amigos saludos desde Costa Rica, me encanta seguir sus videos porque siento que los acompaño en cada viaje.. Mis mejores deseos de bienestar para todos..
We camped out there as a kid. We went to bed in a full camp and a wind storm came through. Our tent pole broke so the five of us piled into our `972 VW camper. When we woke up the place was just about empty. Fun trip though.
Luv exploring Death Valley NP, 'cept, I've gone soft. Prefer hotel/motel sleeping with flushing toilet and hot shower, plus indoor restaurant dining. However, glad to learn about DV sites I have yet to visit from vids such as these. Many thanks.
Another great video and can't wait for the next part. You're in my stomping grounds and while home enjoyed the refresher course. I only wished you could have spent more time on each of your stops. So much was missed, but of course this isn't supposed to be a video marathon. To be honest i'm the author of the thread on the local site titled "the internet is killing the desert" and I will stick by my thoughts. But the death bell has been rang. And i'll enjoy videos like yours from home. I'm getting older and won't be able to make the trip much longer so the loss is really just for the young. The adventure of spending years discovering locations on your own by miles on the trail are over it seems. I guess my time has passed as a discoverer of new things. And perhaps todays travelers don't really want that. Garyw
Always fun seeing Jim, Josh, and Marco. I see that Jim was quickly indoctrinated into camp Marco. No Dinty Moore for you Jim. When at camp Marco you eat real well lol.
If anything positive came out of the pandemic is finding this channel. I have gone back and watched a lot of the old content, I follow trailrecon and overlandx on IG and I get so excited when there is new video. I am still outfitting my rig but, I got a solid bunch of friend's about 3-4 families and we have a whole bunch of camping trips planned but, can't wait to get out and do some serious non campsite exploring. Thank You for the great content and inspiration, hope to see you guys out on the trail some day.
Sweet trip so far. Looking forward to the next vid. Ill be heading up to DV from Eureka Dunes down to the Racetrack next weekend. It will be great to get the intel on the trails.
Man! Watching you all on that trail headed up to the Defense Mine has me thinking I need to call my Ford dealer to add the Sas package to my Badlands, just to give me a little more of a fighting chance of making it up trails like that (I'm not a rock crawler on purpose, but want to be able to do so if it's the only way to see a great location). Oh, and those meatballs... MAN! Marco's the man!
One of your best videos yet. Love seeing what's out there in death valley. I'll never get the chance to go out there myself so I'm glad your bringing it to me here at my home. I would like to see an overview of that Gladiator.
Hi Brad, enjoying your videos for a while now. We are saving to make our own world trip, you have given us many ideas about our future build. The dinner that Marco made for you is a typical Flemish dish. We have a tradition of eating it at Easter. We name it “vogelnestjes” or translated “birdnests”. Greetings from Antwerp!
I love your adventures! And I recently made Marco’s chimichury sauce. Tried it with 2 different tacos. It completely changed the flavor and there were no left overs! Then made it with southwest chicken and again no left overs!
Hey MasterChief!! I’ve got the same hat. Picked it up at the NEX at NAS North Island. Another great video! Missed the drone shots. Your doing a Great Job, keep it up!
I love your videos and seeing all the cool places. I wish there was better spots around me to explore and spend days checking out while wheeling. I can't wait for Marco to show a video with new recipes, since that's something I can do even if there aren't great trails around, I can still have awesome food while camping around here. Both of you please keep up the great content!
I'm a new subscriber. loved your channel. This video is awasome. Tell Marco he is a great sheft. And I loved his knife. I'll be waiting for your next video.
