I've lived in the hill country my entire life how havent i heard of this yet! I will most definitely be taking a couple days to drive this rout! Loved the video
Man I'm so glad I came across your channel! Got a Power Wagon and have taken it to Hidden Falls but THIS is my speed. Me and the wife and a cooler with sammich meat meandering through some of the most beautiful parts of Texas! Can't wait to try this!
@@lyleSchmidt honestly bud I was watching reviews on some new toyo tires I just ordered for my truck and you popped up ha! Can I ask how you navigate? Do you download the map off the site then plug it into Google Earth or do you use an actual GPS like a Garmin?
@TGLASS24 yeah, I use Gaia GPS as my primary and OnX Offroad as a backup, both are apps and desktop software. I'll use Google earth just for street view referencing during planning.
Excellent video yall. I'm a nomadic photographer based out of the Llano area. I know this route like the back of my hand and have captured the beautiful wildflowers, nature and landscape the area provides. I enjoyed watching this so much that I'm joining your overland adventures.
So glad I found this channel! Love what you are doing. I live in Texas hill county and have never seen some of what I saw on your videos. Found my next adventure! Thanks so much and keep on posting!
Bro... Having a Hot cup of coffee while sitting in a cool river is the Cats meow and that feeling is of the finest Knees of Bees..... Thanks for the vid.
Fried Prairie oysters are actually delicious. I even had cold fried Buffalo balls from a hotel and restaurant in Marblemount, WA when I went camping in the Cascade Mountains. My friend's wife drove the 25 miles down the mountain to town to meet her friend that came to camp with us and they ate before coming back up. She saved some because she knew i loved them but only had them one time in 1988 at a rodeo in nacogdoches.
We just got back a few weeks ago from doing this trail. We camped across the river a bit from where y'all were at for a few days. It's our second time doing it and May is definitely a better time heat wise.
Great videos guys, I grew up in Cleburne and live in Azle on Eagle Mt. Lake. Have a deer lease in Mason, about 10 minutes from Wolf Caves,and absolutely love everything about the Hill Country.
Thank you sir. I’m planning a trip to camp on PINS this coming first part of August, mostly night time photography stuff. I’ve got a well used Gladiator. Keep the vids coming guys.
Great video, I love the Llano, Mason and Fredericksburg area and have done part of the Hill Country Trail that I found at OnX. Was that big water crossing on the James River? Also it was cool to hear quotes from Lehman's book, I haven't read that one yet but just finished Captured by Steven Zesch who grew up in the Mason area and is a relative of Adolph Korn, who was also captured by Indians in that area. I look forward to more videos.
I had that bbq and it was salty. Will y’all be at the TAO event this year. This will be my 4th year going. I’ll be in an outback. I have a black one but I hope to get a wilderness by September.
This is the first video of yours I've seen and I like your work. Do you take amateur radio or GMRS radios for comms when out on the trail? You've reminded me to get the Jeep back on the trail this fall when it cools off a bit.
Howdy, if you are in the Leakey area and looking for a spot i have one that you might enjoy. I grew up in the area and i would have to argue that lums bbq in junction is better than coopers. Ive seen this country from behind the wheel and seeing these drone shots gives it a great perspective. Great job editing.
I'm going to say no for 90% of the year. If tge creeks and river are up but still cross able then yes. If you want to drive around in the riverbed dispersed camping spot south of Mason then yeah probably to be safe.
I just moved here from the Utah area. It's been a little hard to find places to camp out in Texas, with 95% privately owned land. I came from a state that had 80% BLM land. Let me know if you make it out to the Corsicana area.
.. well couldn't overland in Texas would choose Idaho Upstate NY Minnesota Banff Whisper Mountain Wyoming Montana it might be less expensive as the price of fuel might be easier to take ...
Done this twice. It’s decent. The Texas 450 is better though. Polite note: please don’t create a dust storm or be like the Texas Toyota club idiots who rolled like 45 rigs deep. The residents already hate us, don’t make it worse

That's awesome, I hope you enjoy it! Can I ask how you came across the channel?

@@lyleSchmidt awesome man. Thanks for the info!
Great video I grew up wheeling California, Utah Arizona and have been doing to get on a trail since moving to Texas.

What route is this???
Great video. I live in Central Texas and have a white Taco 4x4. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you for sharing. Really enjoy the content.

Awesome job guys I grew up in lampasas and played in the llano river many times, God bless you and thanks for the video
Well done!
Brings back memories of fun times. Great shots and commentary

One of castells few residents here! Awesome video!
when is the festival ?
The overland trail is one of my favorites to just meet up with a few buddies and have a chill drive
I dont have a vehicle but im interested in walking this. thanks for the insight.
My buddies ranch is the one by your last river crossing. We usually floor it through there
@user-xc2oz3jl2u yeah we definitely did the 2nd and 3rd time we went through it😅
I’m also in Texas, great video! Thanks for the details on where to go Overlanding in TX. I definitely want to do this!!!
Give it a go. Chisholm trail by way and the texas traverseon OnX Offroad are also good options
Ive done part of the "overland trail" that covers some of this area. Ill have to que this one up too. Great vid!
Great info- the history lessons were a nice addition.
I plan to do this trip this weekend or next! Thanks.
I see they rebuilt the Mason courthouse! Haven’t been in a couple of years. Love Coopers! First ate there around 55 years ago!
4:46 Where is this?
We just got back a few weeks ago from doing this trail. We camped across the river a bit from where y'all were at for a few days. It's our second time doing it and May is definitely a better time heat wise.

@alto-vizproductions5832 thanks man, good luck this fall.
Thank you sir. I’m planning a trip to camp on PINS this coming first part of August, mostly night time photography stuff. I’ve got a well used Gladiator. Keep the vids coming guys.
My ancestors were slain by comanches near Mason or present day London. There is even a book about it. "The Captured"
WOah ! ! I just order the book.
Cool video man, seen this route on OnX off-road, and been wanting to to try it starting on opposite end being that I'm from Longview, awesome rig!
I love this trail
Great video, I love the Llano, Mason and Fredericksburg area and have done part of the Hill Country Trail that I found at OnX. Was that big water crossing on the James River?

No mention of the Lano uplift? The best place in TX for rock hounds. 🤠
Great video, you just gained a new Sub.👍

Great loop, done it many times. Would love to join you sometime. I am in New Braunfels. I have a VERY similar Taco
Plant to do the full portion of this, were you at Bragg? Enjoy the content, Cheers!

@@wilsonwj thanks for watching, I'll definitely be giving that a try!
Gum chomping bros 😂
Need to get that gum sponsorships. 🤦🏽♂️
@broncobill3902 yeah didn't even think about it until the moment I started editing
Where are all the hills?
I'm sorry, but i can't seem to find the map. Am i missing it. I want to take the trip in my rig.
@mikeblalock9380 googke the hill country tour. Choose overland trail guides website. The map files are at the bottom of the page.
@@lyleSchmidt thank you
Does this trail require 4x4
I'm going to say no for 90% of the year. If tge creeks and river are up but still cross able then yes. If you want to drive around in the riverbed dispersed camping spot south of Mason then yeah probably to be safe.
Can you tell me where is the location please?
Is this channel the Texas version of TSTN? 🧐😮
Where exactly was the campsite? Message me please
I just moved here from the Utah area. It's been a little hard to find places to camp out in Texas, with 95% privately owned land. I came from a state that had 80% BLM land. Let me know if you make it out to the Corsicana area.
..
well
couldn't overland in Texas
would choose Idaho
Upstate NY
Minnesota
Banff
Whisper Mountain
Wyoming
Montana
it might be less expensive
as the price of fuel
might be easier to take
...

Tell him to get his ass back on the PCT and finish it
You gonna blaze an alaska thru? Get spicy with some grizzlies?
