Rivian R1T Camping in Mojave Desert CA 

I really like that map sequence you added where you show the state of charge leaving and arriving and the recap at the end. I have a Rivian and I'll be overlanding soon. I'm learning a lot from watching your vids. I look forward to your posts. Keep it up!

This is becoming one of my favorite youtube channels. Great job.

Came to this channel for a review on a tent, and kept coming back for the zen. Love this channel.

Great video! Thanks so much for incorporating the distance and charge % graphics. Very clean and creative way!

So beautiful, the landscape and cool cave… amazing! Great video!Thank you for taking us along on another wonderful adventure 😍

Great photos!!

I love your video and photo work!

Great video, fellow OC resident here. Greeat map with the Rivy state of charge. I have spent a lot of time in this area and its great as long as you don't mind desert pin stripes cutting through your clearcoat! That creosote bush is tough and woody. Side note about this trail. Unlike mentioned in the video, The Mojave Trail, prior to its exclusive by the Mojave Indians bounding from spring to spring to trade with Indians and newcomers in the San Bernadino valley, was actually used mostly as a transport trail for the gold discoveries and ensuing Apache wars in Arizona, and later livestock for ranching in AZ, rather than as an immigration route to California...Arizona was still a territory before the first railroads were built and this trail was abandoned, AZ being very undeveloped compared to California at this time. The Mojaves often attacked whites on the trail including the famous explorer Jedediah Smith until the government established Fort Mojave circa 1860, at which point it became safer to cross for U.S. mail and wagon supply trains. After the railroads were built to California via Kelso in the 1880s the trail was pretty much abandoned and forgotten.

Really love the Rivian but I can't stop thinking how much better it would look with normal headlights. Looks like a fun trip!

Dude, being honest with you your videos are cinematic it was impressive love it

Thanks for your awesome content. Pease keep it coming !

I love these videos you put out and I hope you keep it up. I’ve watched some of them multiple times and have been configuring my R1T very similarly due to your recs (just installed our iKamper mini 3.0 yesterday). Curious where and how you store your iKamper when not in use (ground? hoist system? With or without the crossbars?). Keep the videos coming. They’re relaxing, entertaining, and informative to watch!

Only RU-vid account I've ever clicked the bell for!

I live in San Diego. The weather is getting better. So I started to go camping!! I’ll try Mojave next time!!

This is awesome.

When you're overlanding do you air down your tires? If so, to what PSI? Do you switch to off road drive mode or leave it in all purpose. I'm planning a west to east overlanding trip across the Mojave Preserve for this October, about 173 miles and planning on needing to average 1.4 mi/kwh to make the trip. I've noticed in my Rivian with the iKamper over the bed, tires aired down to 32 PSI and in off road mode I'm usually about 1.2-1.5 mi/kwh. If you want to make another trip out to Mojave this October you're welcome to join.

Great video! just subscribed. Can you please add the time it takes you to charge when you mentioned charging…. Something along the lines of …. I got to the charging station when i was at xxx percent and we waited xxx minutes to charge to xxx percent. Helps me understand if the Rivian is worth it or stick to a Taco… thanks

Any problems with the truck yet? You are pushing it the way it’s supposed to be used

Can you still access your spare with that RTT?

Awesome trip🙌!! What month was this when you went? You got some nice weather! I'm going to Mojave Road next weekend, March 16th.. the weather right now is insane with all the snowstorms. I just hope everything clears up by the time I head down.

It looks like you had to do about an hour of backtracking to get to Fenner then back to the park. Do you think you could have managed the route leaving Barstow at 90+% charge and skipping Fenner?

How’s the tonneau cover doing while off-road?

where did you get that portable fire pit?

Great photos!
