![Ep. 11: Lakeside Camping with Jeep Gladiator [ASMR, Relaxing, Tarp Setup]](/img/1.gif)
30 rack of coors lite, a folding chair and a firestarter.
Bear Spray. I just bought two cannisters at REI Santa Cruz. The Woke sales Rep. shouting..."This is the guy who is Buying the Bear Spray!!!!" To everyone. Lecturing me.. "We can sell it to you, but you can't use it in California" . I'll use it as I see fit. Going on a camping/fishing trip next week for four days near the area where the first recorded Black Bear human fatality in California just recently happened.
Not going to be used for spraying protestors. Unless its a final option.

“Can’t use the bear spray in CA”
*Heroin addict shoots up with his Newsom provided syringe and shits on the sidewalk in front of REI*
Typical CA logic.
So, 30 rack of stale water.
The essentials…
GOOD for you Brad! Super healthy low carb, high protein diet! I’ve been higher protein Keto for over five years, and eating super clean grass fed and organic foods. Never felt better!
I've been on Keto for 2 months and really feel good, but admittedly about half way into the trip we had to adjust just because of access. Next time I will make more prepared meals and freeze them. Looking forward to getting back to eating clean!
Wife and I just drove from lacombe Alberta to the Yukon boarder over to liard hotsprings had to take the same route you did due to the fire we packed the gladiator with a cooler a propane flat grill our camping hammocks and a hammock hot tent with a lil Woodstove a shotgun a 22 and sleeping bags 😊.. had best trip as we had several hundred kilometers of the Alaska hwy to ourselves and not having our lil offgrid trailer it was easy to explore any side trails or roads. 😮
We stopped at the Liard Hotsprings on the way home, I'm not a Hotsprings guys, but man that was incredible. A bit touristy, but I'd absolutely recommend it.... plus it was nice to have a hot soak after 3 weeks!
HHAAA, a pair of ear plugs; yes, but a whole life time supply just in case:) Thank you for the effort of showing -not just telling what were in all those bags. cheers
I'm confused by your arsenal of Jeeps and trailers! Seems they change from week to week!
6 mpg on your trip ??
Nope, much better than that. I'll talk more about mpg in an upcoming video.
What induction oven are you using and how much draw off the batteries does it take?
Between the Gladiator, camper and all the supplies that seems like way too much weight for that wimpy engine. I know you regeared but you will really have to give us the performance you experienced.
Performance wasn't an issue and we went through some steep mountain passes.
I mean certain gladiators can tow 7,000lbs so I can't imagine he's near that with trailer and gear.
@@AceInvader it’s not the rating of the frame and suspension that would be in question. The Pentastar V6 is lacking power unless you run at high rpm. Anything past 3000 for extended periods is hard on the engine. Even though the Gladiator is regeared it would be nice to know what rpm is needed to maintain 65, 70 mph. I have a 2015 JK 2 door 4.56 gears and pull a 1400 lb teardrop and when going across Wyoming on I80 that is constantly up hill even though it doesn’t look like it my tranny goes back and forth between 4 and 5th gear mostly in 4th but my rpms were 3000 or greater especially in 4th at 65. So when he is hauling way more weight with the same engine I’m interested in what the performance really is. I solved my problem with supercharge. Totally different beast now.
The 3.6 does just fine ... you just have to have a reasonable expectation and don't be afraid to kick up the RPM's. It's a mid range motor ...
I'm glad you didn't overpack. 😆
Awesome video as always Brad. Everything you’ve packed is so practical if you can Brad can you film a video on how to evenly distribute weight in your rig and trailer.
Love the setup, especially since you have Liquid Death, the superior water brand
They've done a great job with their marketing... it's just water! LOL!
Prepared for everything but not excessive. It's impressive how you found a place for everything that makes sense.
You really are ready for anything and your inventory of goods is spot on.. Ready for Any instance... Looks like an Awesome time..
Can't wait for all the videos, I feel like waiting for the first star wars movie 😂😅
That button push, tent actuator deal scares me. What do you do when you push the button and it doesn't work? Road grime, Sleet, snow.. Manual, human powered. I really don't like electronic anything when I go offroading/camping.
Brad, this was an inspiring journey! I also have a Gladiator with the AEV JT370 build- amazing vehicle! Do you have the HD springs with your AEV build and do you think it’s needed for towing your trailer? We are considering a similar camping trailer to yours. With the Patriot, did you worry about the water system freezing on this trip? Keep the great content coming and thank you!
You are without a doubt the most prepared Overland adventurist in the WORLD, I mean Doc is the first Overland emergency care vehicle.
I’m having fun, Brad your videos are great, I can’t wait to see this trip in video, I’m sure it will be brilliant. Can’t Wait!
Thank you, I'm constantly adjusting my setup, but I feel I got it close to perfect this trip.
We had hotspring to ourselves it was amazing
Hey Brad! Just recently got a new 2023 rubicon gladiator in Sarge green. So happy to finally have one.
Love that color. Then Brad endorses the new Chevy. I would be happy to take that Green Gladiator off you hands if you upgrade like he does.
I have a 2019 Tacoma upfitted with all the overlanding stuff. I'm about 80 - 90 percent matched with your gear - Goose Gear rear seat delete, full Redarc system, fridge, Starlink, etc...
The M997 exhaust on the jeep real ambulance keep up the good work Chief
Brad, brother. Please tell me where you got wild caught Alaskan Salmon for $12.34 lol. That’s an unheard of great price!
LOL! I think it was Trader Joes
I'm new to all of this. I figured freeze dried food would be the (primary) way to go, but you packed a lot of fresh/frozen meats. Is the fridge powered/plugged in 24/7 or do just occasional throughout the day? Going to be re-thinking a lot here. Great content. Thank you!
I have to ask even though I probably know the answer ....What's CA's malfunction regarding bear spray? Jeesh
I stumbled upon your channel by accident one day and even though I'm not an off roader, I'm more of a fast car guy although I do own a 4wd Tundra but it only gets the occasional snow duty in Yosemite, I have been really enjoying your videos. I'm excited to follow along on your journey to the artic. And who knows maybe this will get me into doing some light off roading in the Tundra.
Bear spray is a problem in CA? Dude, you need to move.
Great video. Thank you. It looks like you don't trust grocery stores in Canada.
You have electric cooktop, why not go with a Keurig for coffee?
Hello
We are wurkkos, and we are glad to have the opportunity to communicate with you. As a flashlight brand committed to technological innovation and user experience, we are always looking to work with influential individuals who share our values. I am impressed by your expertise in your videos, and I think our products will resonate with your audience.
We hope to discuss some exciting cooperation ideas with you, such as product trials, cooperative activities, etc.
I look forward to learning more about your ideas and exploring how to bring the greatest value to each other in future cooperation. Is there time to communicate further? 😀
You Showed us everything that you keep in your drawers. What you do, braung mun trip and inside your jeep portion is, i'm lying, not show the inside of the trailer thing you know, for those who might be interested in purchasing one would like to see what the inside looks like
When you cross the border does border patrol go through all your stuff? I’m sure they’d love seeing you pull up with all that gear 😂
They asked A LOT of questions, but didn't inspect.
Hey I was curious as to the silver ground tent you use. What brand and how many people does it sleep. My disabled son and I love watching TrailRecon. Thanks for the tips and fantastic information. I can almost smell that morning coffee. 😊
How much extra weight does all this add up too. Man! Your bringing a lot of stuff but Hey!! I know you have to be prepared for everything for weeks
Can coozies (cozies?) For glass bottles! Why didn't I think of that?! Brilliant!
RE: bear spray - California is REALLY STUPID about a LOT of things 😂
Great series of films, I really appreciate the work you did. I hope you can do another in the future.
Brad any concern about frame issues towing? Seems many have issues.
I'm keeping an eye on it, I've seen what can happen.
Are any of these brands you run sponsoring the trip? The trailer manufacturer, Red Arc, Frontrunner etc?
You can very easily crunch down a water bottle with the lid off and then when you crunch it down, you can put the lid back on and then it will stay crunched.
Twice in the last 2 months RUclips has unsubscribed me😮 boy they hate paying $$
What kinda knife was that on the panel??
Gerber
Hi Brad! Are you filming with a osmo pocket 3? How’s it working out for ya?
Dear people of middle America, yes that was a creek and not a " river " . Hahahaha .
Wheres your air compressor?
Under the engine bay
Ok where do we find that spice rack
Honestly, she just pieced that together... but she did it twice, because we wanted the same thing in the van. Just a search on Amazon and I think you can find it.
Awesome video Brad, thanks! Can you share what portable toilet that is? Looks like a solid little unit.
It'll probably handle solid bigs too.
It's the Insta Privy and we have them on trailrecon.com
Is Canned Water a euphemism for beer???😂😂😂
Everything included…$150k?
What you said at minute 8:18, are you going to get in trouble??? :) :) :)
Bugs/Mosquitos should be high on your list.
I wouldn't take those along. Leave them at home.
After one or two days on the road. The Glamping wears off. You tend to revert to what is ever the most easiest. KISS meals.
Not my first trip, I've fine tuned things over the years..... now that I'm on my way home I feel I packed perfectly for this trip.
When I packed for my arctic trip everything had a backup, everything critical had two backups, everything life support related (I went in winter) had 3 backups
It's good to have 2 of things that are critical, but I had an extra person in an extra vehicle with me, so that gave me some peace of mind.
@@TrailRecon haha, having a whole seperate person and rig would definitely count as a backup 😄
Umm, about the washing, couldn't you visit the laundromat when you go thought a town? Probably most places will have coin feed washing machines and dryers available as there are quite a few truckers? around. Just a thought.
You could, but not sure man of the towns in the Northern Territories have laundromats and we preferred to spend our down time relaxing at camp. I suppose if this trip was longer than a month that is something we could build in.
This sounds epic!! Be Safe, Good Luck, Have Fun!!
How did you refill the water tank on the X3 - fresh water filter?
I stopped from time to time and grabbed a couple gallons of water. We were able to pay $10 to fill our tanks at and RV site in Dawson City
Question Brad.... In you rvideo I saw you were using a real tiny video camera, what are you using. Thanks Jeff
It's a DJI Osmo. It's a great little camera!
That eye mask works amazing, but I ended up with pink eye after using it. I think its because it does too good of a job sealing around your eyes and if you have any bacteria on it or tour eye, the warm, moist environment is perfect for it to grow. Just a warning for anyone wanting to try one.
You get pick eye because of fecal matter on the bacterial level entering your eyes bro....
Brad, On my recent Utah trip, my 10 year old GoPro decided to die five minutes into it. Do you have a recommendation on a good replacement that will be dash mounted?
I have a love / hate relationship with GoPros, but it's still what I use. I've heard some good things about the DJI action camera, but haven't made the change.
@TrailRecon Been following the trip here and IG. Jealous! On my way to work this morning... and there you are! I see this rig going southbound, and think to myself. Hey that Gladiator has a side pipe just like..."OMG, THATS TRAILRECON, HEY BRAD!" I said that part, out loud, to myself, while waving like an idiot. Then posted a message to IG almost right away. Have a safe trip the rest of the way home.
Which induction cooktop did you choose?
I honestly think many of them are the same and just re-labeled. This is the one I bought, but can't say its any better than others: amzn.to/3x6XmlT
@@TrailRecon Thank you. We looked hard at that Patriot Camper, but went with an AOR Odyssey 3 instead, after two seasons with a Boreas XT. We live in Ventura, so if you see someone pulling an Odyssey wave, it’s us.
I loved how you went over what kinds of food you have in your fridge. I just upgraded to a 50L, since I'm planning a long Fall trip to the four corners area. What kind of RTT is that BTW? Safe travels!
Congrats on the Mavic 3 pro! I have that one as a backup to our Inspire and it is a nice image quality jump from the mavic zoom. Loving the video Brad!
It's been a great drone so far and thankfully I haven't needed to use my backup.
Are you going to share the travel route file?
Hi Brad,
Been watching your awesome channel since 2020... love how you have developed and improved on many facets... From filming to how you interact with your audience.
But I do miss the videos of the Silver JK and the more harder offloading style of videos. I know you have to appeal to a wider audience, but just saying that them older videos of Slick Rock, etc, etc are just insane.
Fan from Australia.🦘😎🇦🇺
How much does the Patriot trailer weigh fully laden ..the way you have set up?? What is the weight of the Jeep with all of that gear??
I'm impressed with all that you have packed into the jeep. Outstanding.. semper Fi and happy trails to you.
This was really informative. Thanks Brad! Curious- what kind of mpg are you averaging with the new 4.88 gears? Enjoy the rest of your trip!
I have to say that I have multiple Noco jumper packs. I have used them for years. I have a couple smaller ones for the V-6 engines, but for my Chevy I am on my second GB70 jumper pack. The first one died due to the heat here in Vegas caused the batteries to expand and pop apart the plastic casing. It still works, but I don't trust it to be left in the car anymore. I bought a second one along with a storage case to hopefully keep down some of the heat in the car so hopefully I don't lose that one to heat again. It charges up anything while camping and always has jump started anything I needed (my car, other motorists cars/trucks) Its just easy to use and works.
I’m curious about your experience with the induction cooktop in the camper. How has that affected your needs for power generation? Especially on your zero days, does the use of induction mean having to run your tow vehicle to charge batteries?
stop tapping everything... my god the noise.
Get annoyed easily I see
Do you have a speed limitation on that trailer? Does it get squirrelly at a certain highway speed or no problems? I know some of them can't go more than about 60-65.
Good luck. I’ll follow
We enjoy our Le Croix-type sparkling water and kept a couple dozen in an oversized milkcrate. We had some casualties, burst cans. Those are carbonated, and some of them burst on us, presumably from bouncing around (not from overheating). We're not high speed desert racers, we creep and crawl nice and easy. Thinking of splitting them up into leftover bubble wrap, then storing in a crate.
Thanks for the video . I am the same way with Asparagus . As a Kid I hated it but now I like but it has to be cooked in a certain way. Coated in Olive oil, Garlic and Black pepper and cooked over an Open flame wood fire/Grill.
I came across you a few days ago. Excellent build on your toy. I love it. I just bought my first gladiator in exspected and not planned. The crazy thing I never liked em, but something drew me to the one I found and love it. Keep up the great work. Your friend George in Omaha, ne
I’m sorry. You made it sound like you have been throwing plastic water bottles in the trash & they were taking up to much space. I had the same problem. I crushed my 1st one like a can & screwed the cap back on & it kept it’s crushed shape. I was like well look at that.
I’ll save this to watch before every trip that way I don’t forget ANYTHING🤔
Earplugs…..never thought about those. My “weird thing” I carry is a pair of old fire gloves. Helps with the hot stuff.
10:17 Bro. I didn't think about that.. I have seen that Liquid Death water all over but never realized that. I'm trying to get rid of as much plastic as possible. Thanks!
Super jealous of the propane fire options you guys have in the US. Here in Australia they're basically non-existent.
Where’s the beer and pew pews? 😂
I have to admit, I'm kind of jealous of your trip. Hope it goes well.
When heading to the far reaches up north, what do you do for protection? I know you can't carry across the northern border brother.
Awesome rundown. Thanks Brad. Oh and cracking spot beside the river there.
Is anyone taking care of your shop while you are gone? I ordered something back in May and it still says processing and no response to emails.
They just relaunched the website, I've forwarded your comment but please give them a call and they will get you taken care of: 800-300-6715
@@TrailRecon Thank you!
I hate vegetables. I love asparagus. Olive oil, salt, and pepper is all you need.
‘sup?-what a amazing - 😌
Was expecting to see more extreme cold weather gear. Have never seen drinking water in cans before.
You need the Gladiator Attic from Blue Ridge Overland.

Word of caution regarding the fuel cans. If they are Wavian cans, I have experienced leaks from two of them that were strapped down in Wavian can holders in the back of my pickup. Over time both of them developed leaks around the stiffening impressions on the sides of the can. The leaks occurred in areas that were NOT contacting the holders, so it was not a rubbing issue, but rather a metal fatigue issue at a stress point in the steel pressing on the side of the can. PLEASE keep a watch on this. BTW - Wavian was not particularly interested in making good on these cans, as I contacted them about a month after their warranty expired. I'll let you draw your own conclusions about that.
I'm really interested in watching all of your segments on this trip.
As always, thanks for sharing, and BE SAFE!
Steve
You should see the reports of cracked Rotopax .....
Question: I saw on a different video you mentioned rearing your gladiator before your trip north. I might have missed it on one of your other videos.. what ratio did you have the gladiator changed to? keep up the good work and the adventures. You’re an inspiration to many and for those of us who still work our butts off for Uncle Sam and don’t have as much time as you do it’s fun to live vicariously through your adventures. Thanks!!
he went with 4:88's
I really enjoyed this video thanks for making it.
Nice video and I thought my road trip with my son 10,000 miles from Tennessee to Montana and Idaho was a big deal great video I’m jealous 😂
Some of my best trips have been with my sons, I'll bet you guys had a blast!
13:10 I understand the risks and have to trust my gear at certain points!
Wow, Brad! So impressed and excited to see how far things have come, and where you are going, with your channel and the impact it's having on your HUGE community! Amazing!!
Thanks so much!
So with pulling the trailer and the Gladdy, somewhat, loaded down.... Are you still happy with the size of gears you went with?
Yes, 4.88's was the way to go
Please do a video on what exactly is in the spice bag
So cool!
What’s the brand for the heater and shower- nice gear.
I met the MPA team at Overland Expo Mountain West last year and had a good chat with them about vehicle kits and got one of their bags that you have mounted in there. I've already used it to assist in accidents and it's a great piece of kit to have. Glad you've partnered with them for your project!
They are great guys!
Brad the first thing after that video was repack your truck and trailer!!!! You are not only the most prepared but most organized overlander!!!Great vid from an even greater guy!!!!
Thanks 👍
