Rooster was definitely living her best life with u guys! Matt I can’t even imagine how difficult it was for u to edit these videos but u definitely did a great job paying tribute to Rooster.RIP Rooster
The ridgeline was some scary stuff . Can't imagine driving that solo without the front camera showing where the road goes when it disappears . I would have had my head hanging out of the window looking for the road , and still would have had to get out and walk around to see where the road went . Gave me goosebumps just watching :) .
The North Star mine that you stopped out was one of the biggest mines in that area. The hillside you were looking at from the cabin has multiple mines up there. You can enter the big one with the gate at the start. It goes for what feels like miles of mines in there. There is also a bunch of mine shafts as well there that go straight down. When I was there we hiked all over the hillside
Sorry for you loss, great video, I also love just driving the backcountry with my best friend, enjoyed the scenery, keep it up.
I seriously can’t wait for these every week!! It’s like my favorite TV show!! 👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥
Me too! I keep the channel running most days while I work from home. My 3 pups love to watch with us.
Thank yall so much!!
Hey, Matt! Congratulations on reaching 100K subscribers! What a fitting tribute to Rooster, PFB. What a sweetie! Thank you for sharing her with us.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations on 100K subscribers. Well, deserved Matt.
Thank you very much!
Congratulation for you 100k suscribers, I have to work hard like you to reach that many suscribers!!!
I'm jealous of your office... Sorry that Rooster will no onger be apart of your family. She will be truely missed. Congratulations on hitting the 100k mark. Thank you for all that you and Cara do.
Great video. Yep, 1800s all day. That history is fascinating.
That’s a cute little French bulldog.
She was the best!!
Matt in a blacksmiths shop you dont have kiln's you have forges 😉😆 sorry to hear about rooster 😥 congrats on 100,000 subs 👏 👍
I looked at the subs and it said 100K, congrats on that mile stone. I truly like this seires of videos and Like the quotes at the start and still feel for you guy about Rooster.
Thank you very much!
Rooster had a good and wonderful life! 🙂❤🌈
Remote office - exactly what I am doing or better did with my old rig and will do with my new rig. Starlink has been a game changer. Last time I worked from an abandoned mine in the Mojave Desert. Zoom meetings, Teams calls, email, cloud - it all worked. Can't wait for my new rig to be ready. I am happy that you are pointing these things out.
Don’t feel bad Bud, I wouldn’t like that neither.😅
You really did give Rooster her best life
Hi Matt, love the video. Some very sketchy moments in the beginning. Whew! The tanks, museums were awesome. I’d like to go to the future in hopes of seeing mankind and wildlife flourish. 🙏🏽 Hopefully we as people come together and be nicer towards one another! 🙏🏽 We will miss you Rooster 😢
Awesome job, and thanks for sharing this adventure.
So sorry for your loss, but happy that you had a chance to spend with your lil buddy!
Another great video. Congratulations on the 100k! Keep up the great videos. Thanks!
Yes !!
Great video sir. I pray the Lord comforts you after your loss. Congratulations on the 100K, seems like yesterday that number was much much smaller! You've worked hard for it!
Thank you.
Hey MAtt! We were in Kofa back in December. It is way greener now than it was then!! Enjoyed this video series.
We'll always remember you rooster, here's to you ..🍺
Matt and Rooster, great video and I love seeing your travels. What was your hammock setup and stand coming off of your Gladiator?
Thanks! It’s the Kammok Outpost
This has been an epic journey. That museum was amazing! Congratulations on the 100k subscribers 🎉
Thanks so much!
The shelf road footage was stunning, and very nerve wracking 😮
I love your videos Matt
Glad you enjoyed it!
HI MATT & KARA ❤
PRAYERS ❤
SO SORRY TO HEAR LIKE LOOSING FAMILY BECAUSE THEY ARE !
MATT BREATHTAKING VIEWS COLORS LANDSCAPE SCENERY ❤ PLUS THE DRONE FOOTAGE VIDEO 📹 LIKE SOME ONE SAID EARLIER THOSE WHITE DRUMS LOOKED OUT OF PLACE PLUS THE OTHER METAL ONES DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS IN THEM & IF THEY GOTTEN SPILLED ANY WHERE AROUND THERE .
THE BUILDINGS WERE REALLY COOL 😎 & WONDER WHERE THEY GOTTEN THEIR WATER 💧 FROM ?
BE SAFE ☺️ 🙏 HAVE FUN ☺️ 🙏 ENJOYED ❤ GOD BLESS / BE WITH YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES ☺️ 🙏 THANK YOU ☺️ PRAYERS ❤🙏
Awesome video and series Matt! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 I miss Rooster 😞
Yes 🙌 McPhersons is hands down my favorite spot in Kofa
Wow! What Great drone shots!! 👍👍👍
Thank you! 👍
Another great one Matt!!
Thanks!!
Ever look at the footage and be like, damn that was beautiful scenery that I couldn't see because i was paying attention to the road
Sometimes yes. 😂 That’s why I’m glad I film it. lol.
That mountain ridge drive was awesome and scary.. Congrats on the 100k
Thanks so much!
Great Video! My Daughter is stationed at Fort Huachuca, she really likes Az,
4x4ing is like drive your own roller coaster. Adrenaline fix and all!!!
Matt. Your 10mm socket comment cracked me up.
What did I miss? What happened to Rooster? Such a cute little doggo. Sorry for the loss!
I talk about it at the beginning of this video.... ruclips.net/video/UEgfVbXGqmk/видео.html
Looks like your drone almost had a wipe out! Love your content, ty 😁
Nah just kicked up a little dust. 😂
congrats on 100k subs
Thanks!
Imagine being the first one to carve that out.
Planning this trip now before the heat! We love your channel. Look forward to all your new posts. Thank you for being awesome! Would you consider doing a video with the focus being Rooster and all her trips?
Thank you. All of roosters trips is basically what these last 9 videos were.
Sorry to hear about your pupppy. OMG. Please put your seatbelt on 😢
I want to illustrate something. The JT gets a lot of grief for having a long wheelbase. (I own a metalcloak lifted Rubi JT) In this video and similar terrain, this is where the stability of a longer track with a lot off rooftop gear helps you feel better about what you’re doing.
You are absolutely correct.
Love your videos, always look forward to them. I’m going to miss seeing Rooster going on adventures with you guys. Would you have ran the ridge trails if you had been towing your trailer?
I pray that there really is a Rainbow Bridge.
10mm socket!!!
1:42 into the video…. amazing drone footage 💪
Thank you 🙌
Sorry about rooster. Kofa looks pretty dang cool.
Intro made me feel like I was sitting down to watch an Indiana Jones movie lol
Matt is that Ridge Road one way? what do you do if you meet somebody up there ?
I was thinking the same thing someones gonna learn some backing skills.
It’s two way. I’m glad I didn’t have to find out. Lol.
This footage is incredible. How did you get the drone footage if you were by yourself, and driving?
I got skills. 😂
Another great video Matt. Question, since the iPad doesn’t support CarPlay, are you using your phone to get Gaia to your Jeep screen?
Yes
"Ridge Runner".
Excellent, excellent video.
But we couldn't help think of you exploring the west in the 1800s. You know damn well the Indians would'a got your scalp! Hahaha. ( Kidding brother )
Oh that’s definitely how I’d go out. 😂
Is your jeep a airplane?! Looks like it on those Ridgeline!!! 🫣
😂😂😂
Where is that trail that started the video? I'm in the Phoenix area and would love to go drive that!
Literally just north of Yuma
Anyone know where we can get VIP tickets to the Expo in Springfield?
Link is in the description
what's the cam you use for the dash view ?
Insta360 AcePro
Some of those shots make it look like you're in a plane
That's called a hogback road.
Those plastic drums give me Breaking Bad vibes.
Like, nobody had those kind of drums back them. Something wrong there.
All true
I would have close the 1870-1890s that was the true Wild West and skipping the civil war. 😅
You have a job as well? Other than youtube? I've been trying to figure out how to do this myself. I program, and can work from home, or from the road XD Though I must be online at certain hours, from 9am to 5pm. I've the battery power now to run everything I'd need for a few days, but I'd need to drive a bit to recharge them. I just don't want to drive at night and set up at night. Still trying to figure out how I'd make this work, and make sure I could find a site before sun down.
RUclips has been my full time job for almost 3 years. When I had a normal job I’d plan my vacations around trips like this.
Have you ever ran into a unruly person or animals?
I've had a few unruly human encounters but never an animal unless that Racoon that got in my trash in my truck bed counts. lol.
You got your shit together stop crying “ moma”😢
Aren’t you just the sweetest thing.
