- My son and I head out with our new setup into the desert mountains outside of Phoenix to take on a trail we've tried and failed to do before. Hopefully this time it goes better!

The UPS truck doing the water crossing made my day! He/she must be living their best life!😂
He or she must be living his or her best life.
Lol yeah. Imagine that being your route - it certainly beats delivering in town!
When you are overland a/f and the ups guy passes you in the water crossing… 😂 love the movie quality shots ❤
Haha!
I have found consistently in overlanding videos and my own overlanding travels that no matter how decked out your rig is, there will always be someone out there in a hilarious vehicle. I remember in one of Trail Recon's videos with Nate from Dirt Lifestyle they're talking about the difficulty of the track as a Subaru blows by in the background.
Toyota World Runners have a video titled "Now THIS is REMOTE". They're about to start traveling through the Paracas National Preserve in Peru. Epic drone shot, voice over explaining how desolate and dangers their crossing will be....Guy in a 3 wheeled tuck-tuck comes ripping through the opposite direction like it's just another day.
In my own travels I drove up this crazy turn-off from a forest road, really steep rocky and muddy, put it in 4 low and powered up it to get a campsite. Feeling all cool and overlandy. Couple hours later dude in like a 2005 Buick LeSabre comes ripping up the hill like it's a mall parking lot.
It was great to see you out out with your son. This is how it begins. Just remember DONT BLINK. Next thing they will be 20. Keep up the great vids.
He's already growing up so fast! Thankfully I have these videos to look back on.
Great father son bonding time. We love that area of the country. We had a day in Sedona last year before expo west and can’t wait to go back.
It's awesome to get family out on these trips - I know you take yours everywhere too!
Such a cool happy kid. I’m looking forward to your adventures with him as he grows up.
I am too!
My wife and I love your videos. You are pleasing to watch with great cinematography.
I love how your son enjoys the trips. Growing up in a wonderful way.
Thank you! He definitely loves camping
Your Tundra looks especially great with the beautiful blue water in the background
Thank you!
Little man is going to be a giant. Glad you include him in the videos. Keep showing him the way!
He’s growing like a weed!
It was nice meeting you this weekend.
Hopefully we’ll cross paths again here or across the Atlantic.
Love that you left the UPS truck in this! That’s hilarious 😂 👍 Enjoy every moment with your son, you’ll blink and he’ll be a grown man. 👍👍👍👍
The color on the Tundra looks amazing
The play cookware moment melted my heart. What a great dad
Thanks!
Loved the UPS truck but best of all your son and his laughing! ❤️ Loved the video!
Thanks! It keeps me entertained too
Your son is such a good kid.
What a beautiful father son outing!
We both really enjoyed the trip!
Cool, you are able to bring your son on your adventures
He loves it
Looks like you have a camping buddy for life.
I certainly hope so!
Man I live out here full time solo in the desert mountains yet your videos make it look so good!!! Great work dude. I really need to stop being lazy and make more vids!!
Get editing!
We enjoy watching your videos. Watching for over a year now. Finally, setup RUclips account to subscribe to some of our channels we watch. I'm from KY myself but do live in another state now. Went out west overlanding (or trying to) broke down in NV but it was fun. Your little guy is growing up FAST. Blink your eyes and graduation is around the corner.
Beautiful videos. Your cute son makes it even better. 😍 Next year, I will start my Overland journey too.
Never seen a UPS truck cross water before!
It was a first for me too!
Quality time... priceless!!!
Thanks!
The drive up to Brown's Peak is beautiful! Good job capturing it 👍🏻
Thanks!
We love doing this trail (Four Peaks Rd). It’s an easy, leisure trail.
This is fantastic!!
Awesome Video! Teaching them young…. 👍👍
This is not a solo trip, there's a whole other human being with you 😤
“Solo parenting” in the desert mountains doesn’t quite have the same ring to it!
Man he's growing fast! Look forward to the video!
Yeah we're constantly buying him bigger clothes lol
@@RevereOverland I hear you. I was 9lbs 14oz. 22 or 24 inches. I never wore newborn clothes. Enjoy! He seems like a bunch of fun.
What a great trip with your son. Im planning out one with my toddler this summer not too far from your Cascade loop you did in Washington. Loved your WA content, you'll have to come back and do some more routes up here!
Awesome! I’m sure you’ll have a great time!
LOL Imagine rolling through some backcountry trail thinking you're hot stuff, and then a UPS driver in a propane powered delivery van rips past you. xD
The UPS driver is hot stuff!
That road was actually the main route to the small town out there - there was a sedan doing the water crossings too, but I wasn’t quick enough with the camera!
Another great video, thanks to some of your other videos I was inspired to start. I just did my first trip with my wife, daughter and grandson. It was fantastic. I love the area that you are in, I have property in Buckeye, now that I know UPS delivers, I wont worry about running out of anything......
That's awesome, and I love to hear it!
Now I've seen everything. A UPS van on an overlanding track. Proof they deliver everywhere. 😁
Lol! That was actually the main road to the town back there, which is weird. I didn’t catch it on video, but there was a car carefully going through too.
Love the 4 peaks trail! Great video
Yeah it’s a great one!
I can't wait til I have my own kiddo 😊
It’s a lot of fun! A lot of work too, lol.
Right before you reach the summit there's a right turn seems like your going back west and it turns into a small forest. Good place to camp. Beautiful when it snows
That’s awesome! I saw the roads heading along the top and thought they’d make for some good exploring
Happy Father’s Day
Your son is the cutest little ever! And, yes ants in the desert the minute they feel vibration pour out 😬learned that first time out there
Thank you! The ants sucked. It would have been cooler outside, but the AluCab is still ok to hang out in even in the heat.
right in my backyard, y'all should swing by Prescott some time, (when you don't need repairs at Summit ) 🙂✌
I've heard there are great trails around Prescott, but I've only ever visited with broken vehicles!
@@RevereOverland backway to Crown King, and the old Senator highway are fun and challenging, there's a number of videos uploaded on YT to give an idea..cheers!
7:13 amazing lol!
Lol
Your boy is already a great traveler! It's great to see boys and fathers. You are both so lucky! Like everyone else, I loved the UPS water crossing. Every time I see a UPS driver I thank them for their service, LOL. On X must have a huge affiliate budget because all the influencers are on board. Apps like On X and Gaia are great if your travels are largely pre-scripted and you can download all the maps you need for your route. If you live out on the road as I do, wander freely, and rarely pre-script anything, more often than not you end up with no maps at all. No one ever mentions this tiny detail. I actually signed onto Gaia because of a glowing review by another influencer that I trusted. I tried both apps and dumped them both in favor of Garmin Tread. No, it doesn't have all the wonderful features, but the one BIG feature it does have is that no matter where I go, I have preloaded maps.
He loves it!
I’ve tried Garmin, but it wasn’t for me. The preloaded maps are nice and the way it works with the Power Switch, emergency comms, and Bluetooth cameras is really neat. That being said, you could buy a tablet and download the entire US map from OnX or Gaia for the same price. It’s not something I consider much, since I have Starlink running on my truck!
@@RevereOverland Well, I tried to download a large section of just Utah for a trip I was planning. It was about 1/4 of the state and I think 3 or 4 layers. Have you ever tried to do that? After about 6 hours it said "download complete". What it didn't tell me is that it had throttled the resolution due to the file size. When I tried to open it, all I had was a blurry mess. If not for a few paper maps on board, I would have had nothing. Yeah, my bad for not verifying what I had. I really got blindsided. I didn't have Starlink at the time. I do now, but it's just not how I want to spend my time when I'm out. Again, I know that these downloaded apps have advantages too. I'm not an advocate for any of these utilities. Garmin has it's issues too. This is just my experience.
@@davids.4760 yeah each to their own! I have Starlink running on the truck roof, so it just updates as I go!
Epic video!! How many miles do you have on blue now??
Did you ever find a way to install a Maxair fan on your Alu-Cab? Never mind..I just saw what you did!
There’s a way, but I didn’t like it. I also decided I didn’t want a weak plastic on the roof - if I broke it on a branch I’d have all the dust and water coming in to my bedding!
Noticed you had a nice clear top case for the baby diapers and wipes, what case are you using? My wife and I just started overlanding this year and we have an 18 month old that we’re trying to plan for and that looks like a solid idea!
Awesome! That’s just a Milwaukee Packout case that happens to mount to my seat delete. I have a small zip up pouch that holds about 8 diapers, wipes, etc. that I keep in the AluCab and refill as needed.
@@RevereOverland thanks man I appreciate it! We just hit our first trail yesterday with the new rig just trying to get a few things hammered out for the longer trips.
How many miles so far on the Tundra? Can we get a review/reliability update?
65k with no mechanical problems
Is that the LenSun Solar hood panel? If so, what’s the highest wattage you’ve ever seen from it? I have their 60 watt on my F-150 and have seen 38 max.
No, it's Cascade 4x4. It's rated at 70W, and I get maybe 40W max. It's also falling apart.
What kind of solar panel and charger controller are you using on the hood of your truck? Thanks.
It’s a Cascadia 4x4 panel. It’s incredibly expensive, not particularly efficient, and is delaminating. I do not recommend it!
@RevereOverland what mattress set up are you using in your AluCab-original mattress or alternative?
I have the Hest! It’s super comfortable. They have 10% off with the code REVERE too.
Hello！Your content is fantastic!Do you accept sponsor products?😀
What’s the black mat on your hood, above the engine?
Solar panel
@@SasukeUchiha-zu6dw sweet! Blocks the glare also! Nice
Cascadia 4x4 solar panel. I do not recommend it.
Children's car seat that rotates for safety ? wonder how all the billions of people on earth survived childhood... 😄and the cars back then had waaaaay less of all them ridiculous electronic 'safety' devices of which the majority have just been developed to keep us dull and make us avoid to use our brain and intuition.
There is so much to see out there. Activating our senses and curiosity is so important, especially at young age. Just looking at the back seat is pretty dull and as a result I dare to say, keeps life dull. But I guess you sort of got the message from your cute little boy's joyfulness laugh.
Going to D-Land... be sure to keep your eyes on your precious little boy as lots of children tend to go missing at that location every day. 🍀
Thanks for taking us along and thanks for your great videos 👍
Not only is it the law that babies are rear facing, but rear facing car seats save countless lives. Babies died in wrecks “back then”.
is your Tundra on the recall list?
It is, so now I’m covered if anything happens! I’m at 65k miles though, so I doubt I’ll have any issues b
It sure how I feel about this one. if this is posted close to when you took the trip then you were dealing with 100+ temps. I have hiked Arizona for over 54 years. Things can go bad real quick. I won’t say anything more, but be wise.
It was around 100°, but not a problem. We had shade and 17 gallons of water.
lol do it while you can.. at this age, they will sit through anything… just a pet basically. Once they can verbalize… they won’t want to sit through a long car ride.. and no.. kids don’t care about “scenery” out the window 😂
I hope he continues to enjoy it, because he’s stuck with it until he can drive himself!
using your son for likes how dare you 🤪😜
He's gotta earn his keep!
Those are not trails...they are maintained roads.
Trail
(1)
: a track made by passage especially through a wilderness
(2)
: a marked or established path or route especially through a forest or mountainous region
