APOLOGY NOT NEEDED! This is another of your outstanding and informative videos. You covered the entire gamut of how to find and use off-road info and maps and aids. I know from the earlier videos that you were a senior medic in the Navy. But judging from your composition and delivery in these videos, I bet that you were the chief instructor at your base and properly prepared a generation of new medics to carry on the tradition. Google Earth is also a good source to use when plotting a trail. The route can be saved as a KLM file and converted to a gpx if needed. I also find ExpertGps easy to use and download to my Garmins with easy file conversion. The only downfall is that the maps need improvement in clarity.
I'm literally planning my first Off-Road Trip Brad. I got a little worn out and thought "Let's see what TrailRecon has on RUclips!" YOU ARE THE BEST. You mind reader you! Thanks so much Brad. Keep up the amazing work!
Great tips Brad. My wife and I flat-tow our JKUR behind our coach and when we travel once we arrive at our destination the next stop is generally a visitor's center or BLM office or Ranger station to get maps of the area for exploring. I guess I'm still more old school than new but I just started using a tablet in our Jeep. Mike
Last year I utilized the forest service website mainly to determine the condition of the trails in my area. A wealth of knowledge for sure. I carry a delorme map book in the rig at all times as well. Sometimes though you just have to turn up that dirt road and see where it leads, blind with no clue where it will lead. Just be smart, know you and your rigs limitations and don't do anything stupid. Stay safe out there.
Brad, I just went to trailsoffroad.... Great site. It's not free though, just FYI. It's $25/year. Right now, it's $20 with code socialdistancing. Still a very good deal for all you get. I just signed up. Thanks!
FYI, there are TWO FunTreks colorado books. One for northern CO (north of i70), and one for everything else (the main CO book, south of i70) And thanks for putting the PSA at the beginning, more people need to hear that.
Another good resource I dont think you mentioned is RUclips itself. Almost everything here in my part of Idaho is gated. I did manage to find some cool trails south of me and in Washington by searching RUclips. The best part is watching video and getting a look at the trails. There are also great channels like yours that share the gps coordinates. Even though your trails are too far away for me at this point in life. Thanks for the good videos
Brad audio was fine. Hey thanks again for all your vids. They are fun, and all outtakes of things like the flies are just how it is up here in Idaho. Sometimes it’s nice to see what really goes into making the video. Thanks for new gaia app. It’s new to me.
Yet another exceptional video. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your channel, it has been an invaluable resource. Just returned from my first 4 day overland trip, thanks in large part to the information I garnered from you.
Back in mid 90's when I went out west a few times I used sidekick offroad maps,they were very good maps, not sure if Rick Russell is still around but loved his videos (still have them all) and maps were very good before GPS
Since we live in Utah I bought what I consider the bible for Utah back roads and trails and Moab. This is an excellent book to have . I look in the book for trails and then look at video's at people running the trail before I go there . Its a great book to have . Take care Brad and thank you for your info .
WOW! Thank you so much for this wealth of knowledge! I am an emerging new jeeper and I have been looking for something like this to kick start my dirt road adventures. Thank you so much!
Thank for the info. It’s pretty difficult finding trails. The closest trails i can find are usually 80-90 miles away. Hopefully your advice will help me find something closer. Keep up the awesome videos!
Appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos Brad. You speak clearly and explain why or why not your choice of Said item. With that said. Is there anyway you could do a video on the GAIA app. I'm not the only one having difficulty navigating or getting it to download a trail. Keep up the great videos. Look forward to Regina and your next adventure.
Exactly the video I needed to see, Brad, thanks!! My T-shirt just shipped, too. I love old-school 'paper' maps, too. 10 yrs on the road in the 90's without GPS. I had a big spiral-bound road atlas. I spent many an idle hour pouring over mine. Thanks for the great ideas!! Wandering is great fun, too!
Love Trailsoffroad. It was all free until 6 month ago. They started a subscription for more detailed maps on certain trails. But I feel like it’s worth it and they definitely put lot of work on it.
Total enjoy watching.This video was totally informative. Much needed videos like this to be able to find trails or know where to go find maps and trails. Be a video that people will go back to.To remember what site or names of books to look up or get . Thanks and keep up the great videos!
Hello Brad, this is Hiram from atlanta Georgia I been warching your videos slnce long time ago, thank you for inspired me to buy a jk back in 2019 now I have a diesel Gladiator.. Can you do an other video like this one, new updates and how we can plan a trip, where to camp, trail and all that I’m planing to go yellowstone from Georgia..thank you!!!
That's what I do. I just go explore. I'm from Palmdale California and there are some decent trails near by in Palmdale, little rock, pinion hills then rowher flats is 15 minutes away and pilot rock about 30 minutes away. There are lots of trails to discover around here.
Great video Brad. You should check out Avenza Maps as well. Being a formal military guy I think you'll like them. You can get a ton of free maps on there from the USGS, parks, forest service motor vehicle use maps, blm, etc. Best part is they are all georeferenced. Does require you to know what map you want to use, but I use it as a great addition when disperse camping in Colorado.
Great info as always. I enjoy all the videos. And personally, I greatly appreciate that public service announcement. We need to drive that one home. Thank you
Your vids are always so helpful. I have a Jeep finally, my first. Want to try some trails soon in SoCal area. Gets a bit boring driving a rubicon to and from work (although more fun than driving any other vehicle I’ve had). I obviously know just how capable this vehicle is offroad, and the real/intended purpose of this vehicle, but now want to make the time to get my feet wet and actually do some exploring myself.
Hi Brad: Your tips -- and group adventures -- are too good to miss; I really enjoy the quality video and commentary on all your trips. Regarding windy day sound: you might want to invest in a good furry windscreen that fits your lavalier mic, or try muffling the noise by placing mic under your T-shirt. Monitor test results before rolling. (I do production work, and can appreciate all your amazing efforts!)
Hey Brad, have you thought of doing a live show for us to ask questions etc ? Do you have a check lisy online that you use to check over your jeep before a trip ? That would be helpful us newbies.
Love your focus on responsibilty on the trail and leaving it better than you found it. Just wish more folks out on the trails did the same. I use to take folks on guided trips in Oklahoma and Colorado first for the Sierra Club and later with just some friends to places I liked. I no longer do that now even with many friends as I have seen so many places destroyed once a place became well known. Picture Canyon in southeast Colorado being one of those. One place like Picture Canyon is still left but I am not telling anyone where it is. When I discovered it 30 years ago someone had already tried to break off and steal a petroglyph. Last time I checked on it people are still going but I noticed it is slowly being forgotten, the local person telling folks where to go has died, and I hope that continues if it is going to survive. I have already seen how the Jeep Badge of Honor is starting to ruin some places I use to like that has turned them into rush hour just to get some badge to stick on their jeep. There is another great website I know about that is a backdoor to find some places that they actually do not want folks going to but then gives GPS info to get you there. Not going to say who has it but it is not easy to use and you have to browse a lot of boring data to find interesting places.
I really liked the video gave me some great ideas on apps to download 😂 I downloaded them while you were taking also the websites I bookmark 3 different ones thanks so much 🤠🤠😎😎👍👍
Hi Brad I’m really fan of your videos , they are awesome I got a question ? I wanna start over landing but I don’t know what I have to add on my Jeep to keep running my domestic fridge runing all day in my Jeep Thank you
Once again, Thanks for the info Brad. You used to put GPS coordinates of where you were in the video. Either I'm not noticing them anymore or you quit. If you quit, why? I found that very helpful in planning trips. Thanks for that too by the way.
Great map company out there called Butler Maps. Originally and still geared towards off road motorcyclists. Also cover the pavement. High quality very durable maps. Love the channel!
I’m going to use Trails Offroad to figure out where in the country to move to have quick, easy access to the most trails. I’m a 4 hour drive to the nearest trails open to the public.
Brad - Awesome video. I was wondering if you could please make a video on using GAIA maps to navigate trails. I have GAIA and have added various the layers, but when I try to download maps or plan a route to pull up when I am on the trail, it never seems to work. Greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you .im learning slot from your channel. I have an 05 Silverado crew cab with a short bed thst in washington state have been struggling since unlinke nevada and montana where ik the area better
I heard you referring to your iPad as your tool for reading Gaia while out on the trail. I’ve been using my iPhone but want a larger display. Do you have any info on what type of iPad or other display I would need specifically so I can see maps while out of cellular range. Thanks in advance brad!
Great video. Have you ever used Avenza? Our son is a Wild land fire fighter , and they use that app a lot. Have you ever had any issue with Google Maps when you download the map for offline use, and the gps is not able to find you ? I can download the maps for offline use. Then the GPS can't find us. But I can see the map and navigate with it that way.
BTI, or before the internet, I purchased Forest Service topo maps. I used them to find trails and gold mines. One in the Sierras still had the metal mine tracks and the stamp mill (!!!). I hope it wasn't discovered, the trail in was fragile and room for 2 rigs to camp next to the Yuba River. Maps yes, Forest Service topos absolutely. The USFS site has a link for a geo enabled map product for mobiles. If you're thinking of Gaia I would do a comparison. As Brad said take a compass (better 2), if it breaks you'll need it. Have an old timer like me explain magnetic deviation. If you need a compass it's kinda important to know how to read it. Ed to add: Ranger stations...in NM I stopped at one and they had a poster of a cliff dwelling. There was no other info so I asked. I pulled my airstream through a deep dirt road and camped next to an oil well that sounded like hades breathing. We had the entire area to ourselves, me and 2 OFF LEASH Malinois. I found a hollowed out stone bowl artifact, left it there. Then I was stranded in 2 days of rain and mud. So I stayed another week.
I've always appreciated vehicles, and now I want to get into offroading, but am not quite sure where to start. I would love it if you could do some more tutorials on maybe mechanical stuff, and installation.
Brad, you mentioned that the Magellan GPS software is available for use on the pc. I can't find anything on that. Do you have instructions or a link to get started?
thanks again.. but as i was watching i remembered another question.... I am having a hard time finding places where you can just set up camp... Im in NM and i know there are plenty... but the info i find is very vague on what is allowed on the trail... or if you can go off trail to camp. do you have a resource for dispersed camping spots throughout the southwest ? i need to get some use out of this RTT lol

My apologies everyone for the mono audio, I should have double checked it before I posted.
TrailRecon I lol when you said “ranger stration”. From big fan here, I’m going for a big overlanding trip because of your videos :)
my left ear enjoyed it!
The music was stereo lol 👌💪
I was wondering. I only had my right ear bud in and....nothing..... lol!!
APOLOGY NOT NEEDED! This is another of your outstanding and informative videos. You covered the entire gamut of how to find and use off-road info and maps and aids. I know from the earlier videos that you were a senior medic in the Navy. But judging from your composition and delivery in these videos, I bet that you were the chief instructor at your base and properly prepared a generation of new medics to carry on the tradition.
Google Earth is also a good source to use when plotting a trail. The route can be saved as a KLM file and converted to a gpx if needed. I also find ExpertGps easy to use and download to my Garmins with easy file conversion. The only downfall is that the maps need improvement in clarity.
Thanks Brad! We love Trail Recon! Keep up the great work!!
Happy subscriber here! Keep up the good work!
I'm literally planning my first Off-Road Trip Brad. I got a little worn out and thought "Let's see what TrailRecon has on RUclips!" YOU ARE THE BEST. You mind reader you! Thanks so much Brad. Keep up the amazing work!

You're my to go channel specially with the movies and entertainment this day's, you are a life saver, and thank you for doing this hard work
Wow, thanks
You did very well with the concentration with 6 flies around your head! lol
They were killing me! LOL!
Thank you Brad for putting in so much time and effort in your videos. Very much appreciated!
Many thanks for taking time to share, doing my FIRST overloading jeep run into southern NM this May. Your resources will be of good help.
Glad it was helpful!
Not a Jeep guy (yet)....but never miss a Video of Brads !
Vegan Powered what do you drive at the moment ? If not a Jeep

Bug repellant that is great for sore joints, too. lol Absorbine Jr. !! Not to mention it's cooling on those really hot days.
Just the video I was looking for as I am a new off-roader. Thanks!
The timing on this video couldn't be better, thanks. We roll from Texas to California in 2 days!
Safe travels!
Thank you for mentioning us Toyota guys 👍
My wife and I just got into off roading and this helped a lot with us learning where to go and what to look for. Thank you!
FYI, there are TWO FunTreks colorado books. One for northern CO (north of i70), and one for everything else (the main CO book, south of i70)

Brad: “Welcome to TrailRecon I’m brad..”
Every flying insect in the state: “Allow me to introduce myself.”
They were crazy thick! I've been in that area many times and never seen them like that.

I look in the book for trails and then look at video's at people running the trail before I go there . Its a great book to have . Take care Brad and thank you for your info .
They did a great job in writing these books, just wish they could publish more across the U.S.

Your PSA was cool, and I support that message. 👍

Thank you very much for taking the time to make and share the video. You kept it informative, interesting, and to the point.
One lucky man. I cant do this but I sure do enjoy your videos. Thanks
Thank for the info. It’s pretty difficult finding trails. The closest trails i can find are usually 80-90 miles away. Hopefully your advice will help me find something closer. Keep up the awesome videos!
In the same situation in NW Ohio. Michigan has some stuff, but we're deep in two hour plus range here.
I live just outside Chicago. Finding trails in the midwest is very difficult.
Thanks for the help I'll try a few of these websites.

I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago. I am stoked to find out you are in San Diego. I hope to see you on a trail some day.

WOW!!! that picture sure is clear. Great video! Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Brad... definitely have not heard of all these options u talked about l!
I love your channel. Thought I was going deaf then read the mono audio comment haha
Great video and list of resources. Go and get lost is my favorite approach.
Very good info ,thanks good luck on you're move.

I love the Benchmark Maps Road and Recreation Atlases. They are a bit big but have great detail.
Great info as always. I enjoy all the videos. And personally, I greatly appreciate that public service announcement. We need to drive that one home.
Thank you
I did broken arrow in a stock grand cherokee. The pink jeep tour guy was amazed.
Thank you for the informative video- very helpful.
"Get in My Jeep and Go!" I love doing that! And, strangely, I always end up back home without ever turning around... Weird.
As always I love your videos! You channel is great
I am new to offroading, and I am looking for some trails to go explore, yes!

TrailRecon yeah no doubt. Thx brother.

Great info. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing the information. Best of luck for all your upcoming expeditions. 👍
Thank you!
When those bugs were in his face he didn't bat an eyelash and that's kind of amazing hahaha
Hey Brad, have you thought of doing a live show for us to ask questions etc ?
Do you have a check lisy online that you use to check over your jeep before a trip ? That would be helpful us newbies.
Great suggestions.... both things I'm working on, thank you!
Great video thank you very much. What kind of light bar is that on your Jeep windshield. I love it.
You are doing Black Bear Pass buddy! Sooner than you think! 😂
So is Brad coming back here to Colorado and running Black Bear Pass again???
Very informative as always Brad. Thank you.

So glad you found the resources helpful!
I sure did and thanks 🙏🏻 for responding back
Always Awesome Info Brad!!! Thanks so much my man!!!
Hi Brad I’m really fan of your videos , they are awesome
I got a question ?
I wanna start over landing but I don’t know what I have to add on my Jeep to keep running my domestic fridge runing all day in my Jeep
Thank you
Public service announcement! You tell it like it is, don't stop.
He lost me at don’t do donuts agree with everything else
@@sjkairway-james5563 yeah donuts are so much fun
Once again, Thanks for the info Brad. You used to put GPS coordinates of where you were in the video. Either I'm not noticing them anymore or you quit. If you quit, why? I found that very helpful in planning trips. Thanks for that too by the way.
In regards to the Gaia GPS app. What are the best overlays to have for finding offroading spots?
Question: do you use a cellphone booster when you are in remote areas with a weak signal? if so, can you advise your suggestion?
Hard copy maps and Gaia are our go-to for navigation. Have not failed us yet.
Great map company out there called Butler Maps. Originally and still geared towards off road motorcyclists. Also cover the pavement. High quality very durable maps. Love the channel!
Awesome information Brad!
I’m going to use Trails Offroad to figure out where in the country to move to have quick, easy access to the most trails. I’m a 4 hour drive to the nearest trails open to the public.
Ed Kuryluk I’m thinking same thing !Seems the most and great trails are in the Utah area.
Can any of you help with a recommendation for a rear bumper with recovery points and able to tow with it for a 2000xj?
Brad - Awesome video. I was wondering if you could please make a video on using GAIA maps to navigate trails. I have GAIA and have added various the layers, but when I try to download maps or plan a route to pull up when I am on the trail, it never seems to work. Greatly appreciate any help you can provide.
So glad to hear I'm NOT the only one struggling with GAIA. There are a couple others in my Jeep club also struggling with this issue.
Headed to Sedona in May for first out of state trip. Taking about 10 days.
Thank you .im learning slot from your channel. I have an 05 Silverado crew cab with a short bed thst in washington state have been struggling since unlinke nevada and montana where ik the area better
I'm a new subscriber with a 2021 Bronco reserved. Thank you for all the information.
I second ranger stations! And good old fashion maps!
I heard you referring to your iPad as your tool for reading Gaia while out on the trail. I’ve been using my iPhone but want a larger display. Do you have any info on what type of iPad or other display I would need specifically so I can see maps while out of cellular range. Thanks in advance brad!
Some really good tips in there, i haven’t used a proper map in years, might be nice going back to the simple life
You never know when you will need good old fashioned paper instead of electronic info.
His fly game is top notch
Well done Brad! Thanks for sharing these resources! #treadlightly
Great video. Have you ever used Avenza? Our son is a Wild land fire fighter , and they use that app a lot. Have you ever had any issue with Google Maps when you download the map for offline use, and the gps is not able to find you ? I can download the maps for offline use. Then the GPS can't find us. But I can see the map and navigate with it that way.
Was this before ON X Off-road maps were up and running? I was thinking of buying the year subscription and trying it out.
BTI, or before the internet, I purchased Forest Service topo maps. I used them to find trails and gold mines.
One in the Sierras still had the metal mine tracks and the stamp mill (!!!). I hope it wasn't discovered, the trail in was fragile and room for 2 rigs to camp next to the Yuba River.
Maps yes, Forest Service topos absolutely. The USFS site has a link for a geo enabled map product for mobiles. If you're thinking of Gaia I would do a comparison.
As Brad said take a compass (better 2), if it breaks you'll need it. Have an old timer like me explain magnetic deviation. If you need a compass it's kinda important to know how to read it.
Ed to add: Ranger stations...in NM I stopped at one and they had a poster of a cliff dwelling. There was no other info so I asked. I pulled my airstream through a deep dirt road and camped next to an oil well that sounded like hades breathing. We had the entire area to ourselves, me and 2 OFF LEASH Malinois. I found a hollowed out stone bowl artifact, left it there.
Then I was stranded in 2 days of rain and mud. So I stayed another week.
thanks for doing this i have been searching all over and not getting ood results
Brad, would you consider doing a step-by-step map tutorial for the Gaia App?
I've always appreciated vehicles, and now I want to get into offroading, but am not quite sure where to start. I would love it if you could do some more tutorials on maybe mechanical stuff, and installation.
Are we ever going to see an update on the WJ? I recently bought one and I’m wondering what you guys are doing as I’m working on mine
Brad, you mentioned that the Magellan GPS software is available for use on the pc. I can't find anything on that. Do you have instructions or a link to get started?
Man, I had no idea Trails Off Road was free! Love their vids!
It's not
Hi,we love trailRecon what’s the best GPS you use for the trail .thanks
Gaia GPS is my go to navigation app.
thanks again.. but as i was watching i remembered another question.... I am having a hard time finding places where you can just set up camp... Im in NM and i know there are plenty... but the info i find is very vague on what is allowed on the trail... or if you can go off trail to camp. do you have a resource for dispersed camping spots throughout the southwest ? i need to get some use out of this RTT lol
You have an All-Access account for Trails-Offroad. This website is not free but it's a good resource. Thank you for sharing.
This looks awesome!!! Does it track even with no signal and how is it to water?
Nice brad, very cool! 👍
Another great video thanks. When you were stationed in Washington state, did you find any great trails in Washington?
