Haha you're not wrong. This was one of my first trips in Arizona, so was definitely getting used to what was what and the native lingo.

Shoot me a dm on Instagram @PSOverland. Are you local to AZ?

No way! Good to know, thank you! I heard they also just reopened Rt 88 that was previously closed. Looking forward to checking that side out.

Working on it as time allows. Will be getting some videos out here shortly. Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot!

Thank you! I know I haven't put out much lately. I have plans in the very near future to record a couple more for everyone. Sorry for the delay, life's been busy!

I think you might be right.

Of course! Thanks for the feedback! This was my first trip in AZ since moving there.

I would not advise bringing an RV down this road in the slightest. I was also told that its recently been closed to vehicle traffic as well. You'll have to check with the park to make sure it's open for recreation.

@@PineStateOverland Thanks

Lots of maps, OnX Offroad, as well as Google Earth and just getting out there exploring.

I share my GPX files with my Patreons!

No better medicine than nature and 4x4's!

At least someone appreciated it!

I was so new to the area at the time I can't remember what this place was called. It was along the Verde River if that helps at all. We went there early summer, I want to say June timeframe.

Thanks for the tip! It was pretty frustrating watching them all jump around me. Changed bait about a dozen times and nothing still. Will have to check out Gila River!

I know. It's sad. A direct result of the way people treat the land. It's a shame there's so much trash in the area now.

The exact reason I went ahead and got the hidden light bar mount from Rough Country. Thanks for watching!

I try to reserve pins for my Patreon subscribers. If you're interested, here's a link! www.patreon.com/psoverland

It definitely a top 3 spot for me!

Thank you! And thanks for watching! What kind of propane setup are you talking about? Are you looking for a cooking system, something to run hot water or heat?

To answer your questions, sure it can be a little tedious to snag the camera after each shot but it gets me out and moving around so its a great way to get my steps in and enjoy nature. I was actually shocked I was able to find a space all to myself on that weekend, like you said, that's usually not the case. Sure trails could refer to a lot of different things. On the west coast, a lot of folks refer to off-road roads as trails rather than on the east coast where they're called "unimproved roads" or skidder roads. Overlanding, to put it simply, is vehicle based adventure travel, kind of a blend of both off-roading and camping. There's a lot that goes into it but the premise is self-reliance and exploring remote places with some of the added luxuries of home like onboard power for charging devices and running accessories, water, onboard air for airing up tires after airing down, a fridge and cooking/kitchen system, communications and sometimes even a roof top tent. I always used to say, before I knew what overlanding was, I just called it camping. This is just camping with your vehicle which is outfitted to provide you with both convenience and security/safety when out exploring nature.

@@PineStateOverland appreciate the answers...thanks for taking the time. I guess it is just my bias feeling of some folks missing the moment. Kind of like holding up your phone for an entire concert... then trying to remember what songs you just heard. Not that you are doing that, but you probably get me point. Have fun out there, Arizona is truly God's Country. :-)

We were lucky I guess! You're not the first to say that. We didn't see anyone when we went out and didn't see any signage either. Ignorance is bliss in this case, especially being so new to the area when I shot this.

I guess that would depend on how you intend on moving. For me, I was a Sheriff's Deputy for a couple of years, had a change of heart and decided to pursue a creative career centered around my passion for photography and video. I sold my house, bought a camper, and traveled, meeting as many people as I could along the way. I was constantly reaching out to companies to offer my freelance services which definitely helped fill the gas tank and keep the trip moving. When I landed in Arizona, I decided to attend Overland Expo in Flagstaff, my first expo. It was there that I met the crew from Summit 4x4 Company and after inquiring as to whether or not they needed some marketing help, was offered their Marketing Manager position. For me it was kind of go with the flow, so plan on having some things not go as you would expect but make the most of those moments because that's where the opportunities come from. I met some incredible people on the road and wouldn't change a thing if given the choice to do it all over again. If you'd like to chat some more about it or have some questions, feel free to shoot me an email at PSOverland@gmail.com. Safe Travels!!

That was a spot we found at Lake Pleasant just outside Phoenix.

Thanks great video 📹 👍

It's been a great shop to work for. Very grateful to be with this group of folks. We gave Shawn a hand this year with Story Till Now on his way to Expo West and have seen a few others come through. Marco with OverlndX, the Revere Overland, people from all over the world. Stop by the next time you're in town, would love to show you around.

I would love to stop by and see the new shop.

@@toddhoffmaster6057 You’re welcome to any time!

Hahaha DROVE a Ford. Now back in another 4Runner ;)

Thanks so much! I appreciate that. I don't have those exact coordinates. I typically find sites by looking at google maps in satellite view and following dirt trails down to the river. That's how we found this one.

Thank you so much! It means more than you know. 🙌

Thank you! I use a DJI Mavic 2 Pro.

No issues. There weren't restrictions when we were there that I can recall.

@@PineStateOverland ya there’s been shoreline camping restrictions since Covid. Guessing they just don’t enforce it at least over on that side of the lake.

Thanks Josh!

Thanks for the correction! I've heard rumors of it being fixed too! Fingers crossed!

Hahahaha! Oh man, that's a first! Thanks for watching!

Go ahead and shoot me an email; psoverland@gmail.com

Will do!@@PineStateOverland

Just get in touch again yesterday:)@@PineStateOverland

The noise level wasn't all that bad. I put a rubber mat under the generator and rubber mounted the rack to the tongue of the trailer. That helped a lot, and those Honda's aren't very loud to begin with.

@@PineStateOverland I see, I'm getting mine installed today but in the bottom and propane tanks on top, I have a honda inverter eu7000is

@@DanielGonzalez-un6rz Those gym rubber pads make for a great base. You can often find them at places like Harbor Freight or even Walmart. I just cut a piece to fit the footprint of the generator and it helped a lot.

@@PineStateOverland the guy doing it said he was going to use pressure washer motor rubber mounts, I thing the rubber pad would also help it, I had it in the back of the trailer with a custom rack but it made my trailer really jumpy

@@DanielGonzalez-un6rz That should do the trick. The 2200 Honda has feet like those too that helped.

Thanks for the sub! Us New Englanders gotta stick together!

Thank you so much!

The best thing you can do is get yourself a Maine Gazetteer. I've found more sites that way than any other. Google Earth is a great resource because I found the resolution is higher in the satellite images and you can often follow forest roads easier and find sites that way. I also offer GPX files to my Patron's and have a few throughout Maine published. Safe travels and thanks for watching!

We had never seen them in person before. Needless to say, it was a shock at first when they starting screaming in the middle of the night. Now we love listening to them.

That's awesome! Depending on the time of year, you'll see lots of elk out that way. Desert wildlife can be elusive for sure! Safest of travels to you!

Coconino

lol thank you! My friends at work like to make fun of the way I say it too. I'll get it eventually! haha

It would depend on the van. If you've got something lifted with a recovery option should you need it I think you probably could. There were some low hanging trees I'd be concerned about though.

I have GPX files that I upload to my Patreon account of the sites we go to. If you're interested, here is the link. Thanks for watching! www.patreon.com/psoverland

Thanks! Love watching your travels as well!

Just say when!

That's awesome. I had a Tundra for a little bit and loved it. Definitely miss the 5.7 power. Next time you're in the area hit me up on insta, @PSOverland.

Haha that's awesome. Tacoma, F150, Hilux, 2003 4Runner, 2010 Tundra, 2018 4Runner. I think i'm sticking with this one though, although I miss that Hilux every day.

They’re the best. Super versatile. Will be integrating them somehow in the seat delete/platform I’m building.

@@PineStateOverland Trying to come up with something similar with my '04 Disco. I want to come up with a removable sleeping platform for solo trips that keeps the packout drawers under it on a slide out.

Thank you! I appreciate that!
