There are some amazing places to explore on the Eastern side the Sierra Nevada Mountains range. In this video my son and I with a few close friends set out to explore the Alabama Hills Recreation area and Coyote Flats. We had a blast out on some easy, moderate and even a little difficult trail, we found some amazing camps sites and of course cooked up some great food at camp.

Cooking fancy food like that out on the trail is total bullshit. One fancy cooked meal (dinner on the first night) is cool but the rest of it isn't practical at all. Save the fancy cooking for dinner guests at home and when you're out wheelin practice KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid!!!!

@jad2484 3 года назад

Spend more time cooking and cleaning up than wheeling and exploring.

@robo5972 3 года назад

@@jad2484 interesting way to think about it but these guys have been doing this for years and they have their system down. I can guarantee you be looking at your freeze dried food and would be willing to trade that for Marco’s ahi in a heartbeat. Not sure why it’s BS if you can make it work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Former 11bravo here. I like you. Your cinematography, narration, and pros vs cons are great. I have been debating in my mind sports car for a little fun, or Jeep for a lot of fun. Definitely swaying me towards a Jeep. I miss blasting though Iraq and Afghanistan in some very capable vehicles. My kids are only two and three, but I constantly foresee them in my adventures. So your detailed reviews of gear really helps with that. Thank you.

@JohnSandovalesq 5 лет назад

I'm just now learning about overlanding. I knew about off-roading and rock crawling, which honestly the hard-core stuff doesn't interest me. However, the trails you were on in the early parts of the video, that looks like just my speed. I have the Tacoma TRD Off Road now, but I feel like I should have gotten one sooner. I lived and worked in SoCal for 4 years and I never realized there was that much exploring to do out there. Love the channel, and I can't wait to get Marco's cook book and a new Scottle.

The Alabama Hills have been a popular filming venue for decades, serving as everything from the Old West to the plains of Afghanistan, to the surface of Mars. Ambush Canyon is so named because that's where the ambush of the Rangers, in the original version of "The Lone Ranger," was filmed. The town of Lone Pine, just outside the Hills, is home to the Lone Pine Film History Museum, which features props, costumes, posters, and other memorabilia from many of the films shot there.

Ok, I've got to say this is so inspiring. I live in the south of Mississippi, in the Desoto National forest. Quite and solitude rule here. My wife bought me a 2018 JL for my 65 birthday. YES IT IS ORANGE.That's why she bought it. I always wanted an orange jeep. I've also got an 03 Wrangler 2 door X with 240,000 miles. But your overland adventures are so inspiring. Going to outfit it for overland and head west. Thanks for good videos, that are inspiring and fun to watch. Would much rather overland than rock crawl. Way too much investment to scrape it up and bang it around. Thanks for the time and effort of your videos.

@johngoeglein5139 3 года назад

First trip to Coyote Flats was 1971. My buddie and I did the whole area in an old Ford Courier 2 wheel drive. He drove and I stood on the back bumper for traction on the tough spots. There used to be an airstrip on the flats that was used for high altitude testing. FS removed it a few decades ago, The trail you turned around on is truly challenging. I did it on my KTM when it was a single track. Then it turned into a side by side trail and now it's a Jeep trail. There is a very soft, off-camber side hill that will make your life flash before you.

@extremeskydiver1 4 года назад

Some of the things I like about your videos. You give coordinates of camps etc. This is most gracious as not all do that and when you don't live anywhere near there it helps a lot with research and planning. And you've also shown that camping doesn't mean freeze dried food but fresh, good food and good eats, something we've been doing for some time now. (A fridge/freezer does help) So from your neighbors up north (Vancouver Island, Canada) many thanks.

Smart choice to turn around where you did. I know that spot well! While coming up the other side I tried to give my old 4Runner max clearance around a large boulder and got a wee bit too close to the edge of that nice drop off. The side of the road crumbled under my tires and my rig took a severe list to port. I saved my ride, but it took some clever winching to get me safely back on the road. We ended up backing up out of that spot and heading back down the mountain. Great vid as always!
