The Simple Life 

Had to chuckle at Carol for not wanting to say easy simple meal but it automatically came out. And her laugh. Keep saying it Carol! Also that phenomenal sunset, absolutely gorgeous.

That new Ford is so great.

Awww...My hubby and I have the same Yeti mugs for when we go camping!!! Carol, you cracked me up. I know that you tried really hard not to same SIMPLE!!! hahaha.

My husband and I have loved watching your adventures now for almost a year. I was raised out west and we lived in Washington State before coming to Mississippi now. We recognize some of your sites but the vast beauty you bring leaves us awestruck. My husband laughs at Carol everytime she says 'simple' because it seems gourmet to us. Her trying to not say it was cute😊 Your joy in life and your faith through your losses that we get to see through your videos has been encouraging. I pray in your down time and no cameras God is holding you and strengthening you❤🙏 Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I don't comment often but we anxiously await each new video as it comes. God bless❤

You should carry a metal detection device. There are people who find gold nuggets in the dessert under rocks.

Carol thanks for bringing a smile and a laugh to your cooking a very simple meal. Please don't change how you say it. We wouldn't know what too do if you did. It was nice to see the rest of the family laughing with you.

Fun video and lots of "simple" cooking ;-) The new rig is SO impressive and happy for you!! 💜

Arizona - where even the plants have teeth. One of my favorite places. The Golden Hour sun put on a nice show for your cinematography - nothing is quite as dramatic as the low angle winter sun in the last hour of the day. Glad to see you back out there and for bringing us along.

Thanks for this beautiful but "simple" video!! 😊

Wow, y'all got experience desert rain, very cool! The sun afterwards was spectacular, too. Lando has a new toy, Drone!

I love witnessing the tightness of your family, willing to adventure and explore together, adding to each other's talents and skills. Each of you, including Lando, add to the wonderful recipe of delightful wonders.

Great video! Pete Jr, amazing narration. You have a great voice for it, adds a really soothing touch. Incredible Golden Hour in this one!

Really enjoyed watching!

The paved road between Bouse and Quartzite where we are has some little dips all along the way. We are surrounded by nearby mountain. Can camp near the mountains at the Blm or Ltva.

26:30 I watched for it, and you did say it. 🥳

HEY! Good morning everyone and thumbs UP to EFRT! 👍

Glad to see the laughs. 👍🏻

Pete Jr, you are a phenomenal photographer. I love your shots…there is such life and richness in the colors and scenes. You are Blessed with an amazing gift from the Lord. 🙏🦅

Well done video. Thanks for sharing

We like ‘simple’! ❤

Apart from loving the adventures, I so enjoy hearing the geographical, natural and animal presence in the spaces you visit. My adventuring will likely not be as off road, but it makes me itch to get my car camping supplies together so I can get out ASAP in the spring (NE Ohio). Thank you for the inspiration.

The beauty of the dessert shines through! Peter and Dan….Perfection!

Awesome video as always EFRT. Epic new setup can't wait to see all the BDRs y'all are going to explore with y'all's new rig. Can't wait for the next epic adventure.

So great to hear Carol more in the story❤ I grew up in a male dominated family. Sometimes it is difficult to feel that what you have to say is worthy or being heard and appreciated. ~ We hear you Carol and you are a great reason why we sub to this channel.

Great way to start this Sunday morning!

Omgoodness when that sun pops out.... glorious!!!

I consider huckleberry stripes to be a badge of honor here in Oregon.

Thank you for sharing this recent exploration. I thought Carol was going to go into a giggling episode. Maybe she did and we didn't get to see it. 😂 i hope a cooking documentary is in the future. There is an art to cooking for a family while overlanding. Each region has different foods indigenous or local to the area. In our area we have salmon, sturgeon, elk and deer, wild strawberries, blackberries, hazelnuts and acorns.

You need some automatic steps for that truck. I got mine at Northwest Running Boards in Clackamas OR great prices and really great service.

Arizona sunsets in the desert are the best.

Man oh man I am praying (and working my arse off) for a rig like yours one day! The fwd van ain’t cuttin it! 🎉

Wieder ein sehr schönes Video. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

Great video, I Enjoy following! Your in my backyard and happy new year 🎉

That well-like structure could be a makeshift furnace to roast the ore to free up the gold in processing (refractory ore). They use the slope to avoid having to build walls.

Lol... visited out there once n every bloody thing has a pokey spine or thorn on it!

Absolutely stunning views. Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us.

Not words common in beautiful Canada. Love you guys!

Perhaps the name of that cookbook could be ‘Some simple meals’ 🤪

Epik amazing

EFamily...not everything needs to be explored😮

Let me make this simple. That’s adorable! I look forward to y’all’s videos each Sunday!

I love your videos I really enjoy watching them. It’s a highlight of my day whenever I get to see one of the videos but I was just wondering in all the places that you camp and stay at the very remote places do you ever have any trouble with anybody, trying to bother y’all like any violent people? that might come upon you in remote places. I just wondering I wish you all the safety in the world. Thank you again for your videos I watch everyone you put out.

what a wonderful and amazing view keep safe everyone and a joyous Happy New Year GOD bless fr. manila philippines❤❤

!/7/24 - Happy New Year from Charleston.SC. Enjoyed video

Tip to remove Jumping Cactus or Teddy Bear Cholla. Use a hair comb to remove the cactus spines, then a plyers to remove the thorns still in your skin. The thorns fish hook into your skin and will cause irritation for a few days afterwards as the Cholla Cactus is the worst cactus in the Sonora Desert to get tangled with. Also the G in Gila is pronounced with an H like Hila Monster and Cholla is pronounced with a Y, Choyya.

Simple meal scene was hilarious 🤣 funny 😁

I enjoyed this SO much. Watching an EFRT video puts me in such a good mood for the rest of the day!

Another great video. Thank you. FYI Gila is pronounced hee la. Love your videos.

Hey Pete Jr. Love your narration ; have 2 pronunciation tips: Saguaro is "su war o" and Gila is "hee la".

You should check the woodcutting regulations for where you are at, because there are some very hefty fines for cutting, and, or burning wood in the Sonoran Desert. Also who's in charge, you or your dog? It's the desert, he's going to step on more cacti. Do what's best for your dog as he doesn't understand.

Happy New Year everyone. I really love all of your amazing adventures videos. I especially love to see you all so very cozy during the rain in your great camper-overlander truck. There really need to be more content showing families being cozy during bad weather while showing both the indoor family coziness and also viewing the outside weather conditions and behavior. Thank you for sharing your amazing family adventures. We all want to see more. Stay safe.

Great video-beautiful sunset-great “simple” Chuckles with Carol…how you keep those booties on Lando I’ll never know…our girls kick off theirs in the snow…fun to see how each rig handles differently over the terrain…good to see you on the trails again! Have a great week!

Хорошая семьЯ. Good family 👍

Maybe the boys have taco seasoning in there grub box?

Excellent and well produced video again gang. If the mines were intriguing. Perhaps a visit with Brent Underwood at Cero Gordo Ghost town. He is well versed in mines as he restores his ghost town. He seems like someone cool to meet as well. I enjoy watching his RU-vid channel too. Keep up the great work gang. Wife and I look forward to seeing your videos every weekend. Even our 3yr old Boxer perks up when Lando is on the screen. Hahaha.

Crescent City was my grandma's place she lived there 50 years

Cute orlando is a beautiful guide 🦮 in front of you 😊. Happy to watch you all in the comfort of the lovely big daddy it's performance looks very impressive. One thing I would like to mention that it was a good simple metal 😊 mam. Nice 👍 video good location to celebrate with sunset. Have a wonderful days ahead 😊. Happy and healthy journey ahead ❤.

Hey, were you in the same region as Brad from trail recon? You are overdue to meet up & do a full rig walk through with him!

Another awesome adventures ❤❤

Love from the Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Please come to visit the best travel destination ❤

Thank you as always for sharing! Lando and the Drone what's hilarious maybe time to put a camera on Lando

Love your videos as always and love you guys.Stay safe, and God bless your journey.

Happy New Year EFRT gang!! Being from AZ I love, love the AZ trips y'all take! Our state 48 is beautiful with lots of scenic spots and secrets like those covered up shafts. Y'all should visit some Anasazi ruins in cliff dwellings too! There are beautiful ruins along the Roosevelt Lake area near Globe/Miami (also have BOMB Mexican food!) as well as the grand Montezuma Castle cliff dwelling along the I-17 in Camp Verde. There's SO much to discover in AZ besides the Grand Canyon (although that is a main attraction for most visitors). I loved seeing Lando in his shoes! SO adorable❣Keep them vlogs coming!

Hi 👋🏼 That was Epic. Love you guys and gals ❤

Another amazing video ..❤ I guess this offroad monster is perfect for your all needs ...

Addicted to your channel ❤

I'm assuming once you go to a truck camper you can never go back to a roof top tent lol

Could have given you a few hidden waterfront locations out there! I love the Sonoran, so beautiful and so much to explore! If you need some cool’s spots near the valley let me know!

GM EFRT!!! Coffee and snow showers here in Ohio 🤬Brrrr LOL Thank you for sharing your family and travels💖💯🙏✨️💖

Gila = Heela

There is no such thing as a bad camp meal ,,,,

Once again, an "epic" video!

😍😍👍👍👍👍

Hey are you guys going anywhere near Quartzite? Could you go to Quartzite. Wish we could meet up with you. Let me know what you think, if at all possible.

Hey guys Great video as usual! The new truck seems to be working well. Turns are a little wider….😅. I just got my EFRT hoodie. I love it, but the import duty’s to get it into Canada were excessive. Maybe something to look into. Have a great week! See you in the next one

You need to name the truck

Saguaro pronounced sa wau ro Gila pronounced he lah They are rough I lived in Arizona for 12 years

Amazing video and an equally amazing area to explore! I look forward to the day I can make it to the west coast and explore some of the areas you’ve shared! Side note, I recently received the EFRT sticker I ordered… looks awesome on my gear crate and I thank you for sending out sticker-only orders with no shipping charge in the US!

Why are they back in the jeep, what happened to the RV?

Sagurao- pronounced Sue-war-oh Cholla cacti- pronounced Choy-uh Gila monster- pronounced Hila-monster Not judging ;) just helping a brotha out. Great video...

I think I am realizing I enjoyed your winter at the lake on the island but I am not as interested in the overlanding.

Links to adventure guys and Dans channel are the same ?

🤝🔝🤝💯

I have an 06 Explorer with a tow package. Care to trade for that truck? 😁

💞💐💐💐💞

✌️🌹❤️👌

I also have another question and it may not be one you want to answer and if you do not want to answer this, it is very understandable and I apologize if I shouldn’t have asked it but that new truck that you have would you mind saying what something like that might costand talk about that a little bit at some point

Why is Carolno longer on the trip?

You leaking a good amount of fuel out of the fuel door when off camber off road.

Super footage. Love the Sonoran desert and Arizona in general, but I can’t help feeling angry about the current situation that our administrators and politicians have thrust upon us. 😢

Saguaro = su wah ro

That is good not god! I swear this tablet has a mind of it's own! Yikes!

Just a heads up the word Saguaro is not pronounced using a G sound at all but rather a W as in pronouncing it sawuaro.

God's nature is beautiful!

There is this canyon a short hike here. Palm Canyon. To see Palm trees growing on the side of a hill by a Canyon. There's a little history here. Plenty of BLM, LTVA, Propane, water stations + showers at a nice laundery mat in town. This is a small town.

Oh, man, your Canadian is showing!! Please ask a local how to pronounce “saguaro.”

Damn I even felt comfy & warm just watching you guys ( & gal ) in the vechile

Well done family! Look at Ruffwear boots, they are a bit more athletic for the Lando.

Made me hungry! Tacos tomorrow! 🌮🌮🌮

😂Simple😂 , it's a good life ❤~peace~
