- My son and I set off on a 9 day adventure that would take us from California, through New Mexico and deep into Texas where we explore Big Bend National Park and Padre Island National Seashore. Join us as we head off the beaten path, do a little camping in the mountains, desert and on the beach and cook up some great chow at camp.

0:47 That was our group at Padre Island! I owned the silver jeep to the right of the frame. Saw ya eating at a BBQ joint in San Antonio and didn't wanna bother ya! We were the big group that sat down just as you guys were heading out. I was the sunburned tomato! We couldn't believe it was you! Drive safe and be safe guys
👍 Quality Father and Son time. Memories that will last forever. 👍
The best times I ever had was my dad taking me out in his 69 Jeep Commando around the outskirts of El Centro in the late 70’s. I will always remember the great father and son time we had.
I’m a backpacker, and a U.S. Navy Veteran…these trail videos lower my stress level more than most things…. Thanks Master Chief!
I'm from Texas and the lack of public land is one of my biggest complaints about the state. There is so much seemingly empty unused land too.
Because Texas was a country when it joined the US, it kept its public land.
Also the Spanish and later Mexico made massive land grants to bring settlers to Texas. Most of these were honored when Texas became a Republic and when it became a state. The rest belonged to Texas as the post above explains
In regards to overlanding in Texas, the rewards are great if you're willing to do the research.
" There is so much seemingly empty unused land too."
It's private land. Owned by private citizens. That's like complaining about not allowing people to come traipse around your own backyard.
@@heavymetal9099 It's pretty dumb to argue that millions of miles of unimproved land are the same as your own backyard. Sure, people own it but unless they are all employing dozens of ranch hands to protect the land, it would be pretty easy to camp on the so-called "private" land.
Nothing is as soothing as the sound of waves.
As someone who lives about an hour from Padre Island, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I go out there as often as I can.
You are blessed to live that close... it would be hard to keep me away if that was in my backyard.
@@TrailRecon We live right here in Corpus Wish we would have known you where going to be here could have shown you some awesome offloading places!
All private land! Watch out no trespassing more guns than people here and we all conceal carry! Howdy:)
@@dcs_kraken I’m going there for memorial day weekend and I could use some tips on where to set up camp. We will be getting there after dark
Trailrecon is now my favorite channel. I love it that you take the time to video your journey and the editing is professional. Thank you
Sad to see there was fire in Big Bend. The hiking trails in the Chisos mountains are beautiful. I took the ol’ XJ out there over Christmas. Black Gap is great, but I think the less-mentioned Old Ore Road was my highlight. I definitely recommend both.
It was a bummer, but I'm sure all the vegetation will all come back in the coming years.
Jordan, thank you for your service. What an amazing trip. Coffee to a sunrise on a beach...sounds amazing!!!
I'm very happy for you two having this time together before his deployment.
That Weber is my daily driver even at home. Works great and super portable.

Welcome to the Lone Star State

I enjoy it here in New Mexico. Tons of beautiful trails and places to explore. Especially here in the Lincoln National Forest
You guys drove through my home town!
Thank you for your service Jordan!
Glad you enjoyed it. We are out there as much we can. We live about 30 minutes or so from South Padre. I'm retired Navy as well. My wife and I wish your son all the best on his upcoming deployment. Thank you both for your service.
What an awesome time to spend together. Be safe on your deployment Jordan and thank you for your service. Definitely going to have to put Texas on the list!
So glad y'all got to enjoy our beautiful texas gulf coast... Growing up about 100 miles south of where y'all were and 40 minutes from South Padre Island with another 30+ miles of drivable beach, I grew up camping and fishing on the coast. I'm so glad I get to continue the tradition with my girls.
I love how close you are with your sons. Thats special and they followed in your footsteps.
A 20 minute Trail Recon video?
You son of a gun I’m in!
Made my day.
Diddo
Another awesome video, as usual.
Looks like a really great time.
I'll ask a special prayer Jordan and his outfit while on deployment as I do for all of our men and women in uniform.
May God bless the trails you guys enjoy.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
This is what life is all about!! We are proud of our state. Shoutin' out from San Antonio.
I can’t believe you came to Texas and chose Rudy’s bbq of all places
There are lots of good other places in Texas. Someone else commented about seeing them in San Antonio at a BBQ place. I know that Big Bib there in San Antonio is good.
lol. Let's not turn this into best BBQ in Texas argument. The thread will go on forever
Awesome spending time with your boy👊🏻 I do the same with my boys 21 and 15 love every minute! Thank you both for your service👍🏼
Marco was at home shaking his head when he saw the simple meal lol
Always a pleasure to watch these. My favorite when I travel out west is seeing the sunrises
As always, great video! Good to see you and your son making memories, hope to see you on the trail HOOAH!
Looks like a great trip the two of you are having, and there’s more to come.
I love watching your videos!! I'm close to retirement, and getting my rubicon ready for some trips! Navy Chief Navy Pride brother!
That’s one things I loved about being from Texas and being stationed in Colorado was the drive. We would go visit family in Texas like 5 times a year. And also port a is amazing
Looks like an awesome trip and a great way to spend some quality time with your son before he deploys. Can’t wait for the next adventure.
As usual, great video. Padre looks fun! BEst to Jordan on his upcoming deployment. Be safe!
Thank you guys! As a videographer I will say you did a great job. I live about four hours from Padre Island and love going there camping and fishing. I subscribed and you guys do a great job 👍
NM, Texas, Where ever,....... ...But time spend with Jordan, priceless!
Welcome to Texas! Glad you came. I'm up by Galveston, you have many fans here. Too bad I was in MOAB while you were here. Ha. Good luck to your son on his pump, we will be praying for him. My youngest just got out after serving 4 yrs and 2 pumps with F 2/5 USMC. Nice having him home. Both of your service is what keeps US going. God bless your wonderful family, and thank you both for showing us how its done!
Thank you and hope to make it up there someday!
Great video as always. Thank you for your and your Son’s service. We appreciate it greatly.
Man you inspire us so much to get outdoors !!! Just acquired a 2019 power wagon.... gonna take a few hints from you and get it ready for some adventures and hit the road !!!
You got the ultimate off road truck. Have fun
Nothing beats camping with your son. Love the video.
You got that right!
Awesome people you guys ! Veteran myself with multiple tours in Afganistan, I first of all want to wish your son a good deployment and thank you for your service sir. Second, I have a severe OCD badtrip with your trailer not being level :) :) :) Keep pushing out those amazing vids and make us all travel by your side for an instant !!
Awesome!!! I've been there several times as I have family in TX, unfortunately now is nearly impossible to cross the border from Mexico for known reasons...but its really good you spend time with your son on such beautiful places!!!, keep having adventures and sharing them with the offroaders community!!! Waiting for more...!!!
Brad you know how to live life!!! Yes Quality time most memorable. Enjoy all videos!! Always glad to see where we are going next.. Keep smiling. Keep living. My best Jordan on your cruise. I did the Pacific Rim.
Great video! Awesome way to spend time with your son before he deploys. Thank you both for your service to our country!
My parents used to live in North Padre island. We have a 1971 Jeepster Commando (profile pic) that we fully restored and finished back in 2015. We loved cruising it on the beach every chance we had and had some great times down there. There is a really cool Jeep club down there with some extremely friendly people too that is worth checking out.
Great video so enjoy the trips with your prospective on them much more than your garage talks. Super awesome that you got to go with your son for both of you to have those memories forever. Thumbs up keep up the good work.
Enjoy every minute with one another, it looks like you already do.... thanks for stopping by SPI enjoy the rest of your travels
Jordan thank you for your service, you are the reason civilians like me feel safe in our country thank You!
Glad your enjoyed your visit to Texas! Come on back and spend some time taking it all in.
Must come back Brad when you can spend more time in Big Bend! Can give you plenty of insight on the must see trails and sights. Have a few secret spots you’d love. Great video!
Thank both of you for your service 🇺🇸
Great video and Thank you Jordan for your service. I really appreciate the sacrifices you are making to deploy and protect our freedoms. May god bless you and keep you safe.
Brad, great to see you doing fun stuff and kicking butt!!!
What an awesome adventure with your son. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Awesome trip. Thanks for sharing and for your service.
Awesome adventure! From mountains to the beach, you covered it all in one video. Wow.
I’ve heard the complaint about lack of public lands / Off roading trails / mountain biking trails from friends that have left California recently. Not that you can’t find trails in Texas, it’s that everything is farther away. (Spread out more)
People don’t realize how good CA is until they leave for a while.
Love that scenery. Great trip. Hope to do it myself one day.
Fantastic video. Yes, I’m from TEXAS.,. You were in my old stomping grounds, from Galveston to South Padre Island. Live in Arizona now. Loved watching the beach videos...Thanks
Thank you!
Glad y'all enjoyed my home state! Wish ya could of spent more time visiting. Ever find yourself near Llano or Ozona I know some places and own property out near San Angelo on the place I grew up on. Again come visit anytime!
Camped out there previous weekend and even though it was a bit chilly it’s always enjoyable. Mostly cloudy as well but when the clouds broke thru at night the sky lit up. Great to get away from cell service.
Awesome! We camped the beach near Port Aransas. Good luck on the deployment! 👍😉🇨🇦🌘🥇
Great vid fellas, glad you had some fun times. Can’t wait to get out this summer to explore. Hope your sons deployment is a safe one. Thanks for your service!
Thanks for taking me home. I grew up in Corpus and spent a lot of time on the beach. The warm water is what I miss most. I’ve also camped and hiked in Big Bend. But I would only visit in December or January. Too hot otherwise. Another fantastic place.
Growing up in Corpus Christi I learned to 4x4 of that area of North Padre Island. Sure brings back memories of my 1985 Toyota 4Runner and pulling tourists out out of the sand for beer.
Master Chief, It looks like you visited North Padre Island. I grew up on South Padre Island as a kid. That was my sandbox. I miss it. -Boats
Awesome father and son. Love camping with my son. Good luck on your deployment.
Great video! Ah, brings back good memories of our trips to Big Bend & Mustang Island just North of Padre. The beach is incredible & the shore birds are fun to observe. Just watch out for the Jellyfish! We camped on the beach too & the temp never varried more than a few degrees from upper 70's. Had jumbo shrimp at a little place in Port Aransas, best ever. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed you're time in Texas!!! Come back when it's cooler.
Father / Son trips are the best. Well done. Love your content.
The best!
Great wheeling video. Thank you for your service to our country!
Thanks for your service.
Brad, was just watching this episode and today I got another crack on my windshield. Last year i found a neat trick to keep the crack from spreading. All you need is alcohol, clean cloth, Krazy glue and a razor blade. Works everytime for me. Clean the cracked area real good with alcohol, let it air dry. Then squeeze plenty of krazy glue all in the crack (make sure you get it in any minute crack). Let the glue air dry and scrape it off with blade. All done. Love your videos, thank you once again.
I’ll be there May 4th for a week. Thanks for the video!
Great entertainment and a nice break from the crazy world right now , thanks for sharing 🙌
Deployed for 7 months IS going to be the adventure!! NM is very underrated. Shhhh....secret.
Stay safe, IGY6
The in-laws live in Las Cruces and we go out there a couple of times a year. 2 years ago we rented a jeep and my mother inlaw suggested we drive out to Aden Crater/Kilborn Hole taking the trails. It was a great ride and as soon as we got back to Fl I bought my jeep. Love NM and would retire there if I could stand the dry weather.
I watched all the way till the end till I realized your a Master Chief! Hooyah brother, loved the video.
Great video. What a fabulous trip! 👍
Awesome to get time with your son. Great video as well.
Really enjoy your trips. Hoping to do a few with my sons now that they both drive. Trying to get them more into camping.
Yes new video
Welcome to Texas!
Lived there for 3 years. Awesome place. Top 5 place in world to kite board as well.
Glad you enjoyed Texas!
Padre island and Big Bend are definitely on my list stops in the near future. Nice video Brad
Just got back from Big Bend myself. Loved it! Working on editing the video as we speak. Had a bit of a mishap that cut our trip short so definitely going back in the fall as soon as it cools off a bit. Love your videos and channel Brad. Thank you!
Another great video can’t wait for the next chapter.
Great video, I’m gonna have to get back to big bend. Great seeing father son time!!
Glad you enjoyed your time in New Mexico!
Hi PIZO, I never thought you liked cars LOL.
Instablaster.
I’m just happy that Trail Recon finally visited my state!!!! And more than likely went through my city of EP too😳😳
There's an old quicksilver mine out there and quite a lot of other cool stuff in big bend. The wheeling is definitely mild but it's so large you can explore for hours on end. Worth the trip back!
First of your videos that I have watched and I really like your style. I am a Texan, from up the coast past Galveston, and you described the state well. That looked like a fun trip, but you really racked up the miles. An outsider might not realize you drove over 1700 miles through Texas, which was easy on this end of the screen.... But, you had your son to visit with along the way, so well worth it. Ultimate respect to your son for serving our country. Subscribed.
We do love our State!! Next time check out South Padre Island. Driving across the Queen Isabella Causeway with your windows down is heaven.
I'm glad ya'll enjoyed Texas! This video made my day as usual. Awesome video guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome, hope to do this soon w my son as he builds his own 2016 JKU Rubicon. 16th birthday this Friday! Can’t wait!
PINS is awesome. I camp 8-10 times a year there with my sons. The sunrises on the beach are primo.
It's great to see your videos again.. I wish Jordan the best on his deployment.. Hope you both had a fantastic trip??
Thank you to your son for his service. 🇺🇸
First I would like to say Thank you to you and Jordan for your service. Great way for the two of you to spend your time together before his deployment... great video as always.
Love the videos Brad! Can’t wait to back from Korea and get out exploring with my son! 🇺🇸🤙🏼
I have been to the Gila National Forest and seen the cliff dwellings. And also been to South Padrea Island. When you go back to Great Bend Country have to camp down by the river, Rio Grand. I grew up in El Paso, TX.
Great video! I'm looking forward to going beach camping very soon!
Great camping
