Why doesn’t this guy have more subscribers? I love the truck build, the locations and the fact that you don’t stick to just one subject. The truck build, the full camping experience at remote locations and your unbiased and unpaid reviews of different products that you use. I also very much admire that you budget by shopping for used rather than brand new. Keep the videos coming!
Oh shoot don’t flatter me haha more stuff coming real soon. Glad you’re enjoying the content!
I watched this vlog months back, saved it because I needed to subscribe. I just did. Dude keep this content coming. And thank you!
Thanks for the appreciation! And welcome to the channel officially! More historical content coming this fall!
@@Whitedogoverland Just being real man. I like to see authentic overlanding content like yours. Hope to one day do much of such across Southern Africa.
Man you could really make a page with endless content out there. Such cool/brutal history on that continent. I’m jealous!
This episode means very much to me due to the fact that I am White Mountain Apache and Geronimo is related to my family line. You’ve hit some real truths and I appreciate it. The Fort Apache Reservation Fort houses 5 Apache Clans on 1.6 million acres the biggest reservation in the country. The area where you are is very sacred and special.
Man that is a huge compliment coming from someone with your bloodlines. It’s an absolute privilege to be able to tell the stories and honor your descendants. The history of the tribes is always my favorite to dive into and a piece of history that gets forgotten. Those who don’t embrace the sacrifices your people have made truly are ignorant to history. Thank you for your words and I’m so happy you could enjoy the video.
Well done son. You have just taught me more about a piece of history in thirty minutes than I ever new in my life time. Love everything about you and all the hard work that you do.... Your Pa
I’m glad you enjoyed it and could learn from it. You’re partially my inspiration!
Overlaying Native American history on overlanding is brilliant. Very well done. Native history is criminally under told, so I look forward to more stories. Come East and do the Cherokee.
Two things I enjoy the most into one video figured I should move in this direction! Glad you enjoyed and can appreciate how under played this history is. One of these days I may just push out east!
Back in the 1960's I grew up in what my elders called the crossroads of the Northern nations. Dakota, Lakota, Crow, Cheyenne and many more northern tribes. As a kid I had open rein exploring out on the prairies. The only rule was leave it where you found it. And to reinforce it I was told of bad omens if I didn't. Arrowheads, lances, teepee rings and buffalo bones at the foot of buffalo runs were common finds. Beads were big no no's. Ant's would unearth them and scatter them about. These sights were thought to be gravesites and were to be left alone. Sadly these places and things do not exist anymore. So now it's through storytellers like you that folks will learn of our sometime chaotic history. You have a great start ... tell the story.
I was told the same thing growing up and heard stories about taking artifacts and having years of bad luck. Sure is cool to appreciate what’s left. Thanks for watching.
History is of great importance. If we learn from the mistakes of our past, we won't be doomed to make the same ones in the future. Overlanding is a gift. Being able to see, smell, touch, and experience these fantastic places is only for the lucky ones. Others sadly will never experience these places. Keep up the good work 👍.
It most certain is. I’m glad you enjoyed it. More of this history content is to come!
Nice setup on the rock warrior , land is amazing good job on the story and the video👍🏾 .
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
Well done, great history and beautiful scenery, enjoyed it. We used to go in at Saint David and cross 11 miles of Desert to the west stronghold in the Dragoon Mountains. There used to be an old adobe stage station prior to entering the west strong hold with a plaque embedded in some concrete with the stage station schedules, someone stole the plaque, All that remains now is a pile of Adobe ruin and the concrete where plaque was shaped like the State of Arizona. That was 44 years ago. That’s not to be Confused with the stage station in the dragon’s near I-10. I’m glad I took pictures back then.
This area is definitely underrated. I believe that station was a part of the butterfield stage route! I wasn’t able to make it over that way but a critical part of this mountains past!
Love this. Invest in a clip on mic that will cut the wind noise or voice over the story. I absolutely love the history and adventure ❤
Thank you glad you enjoyed! I thought this rode mic would do better with noise but it’s pretty bad. Tried reducing it in post but I’ll have to invest in something different.
That was an exciting adventure!! That's such a beautiful area. We don't hear much about the Indians from that area
Thanks for sharing that bit of history. I was on pins and needles while you went back into that mine.....scary!!!
Looks like Mila had a fun time.
I love the dragoons. So much cool history. Thanks for watching Barb!
Thanks for sharing not only the history of the area, but your personal connection to it!
I love this stuff and glad you’re enjoying it. It’s my pleasure!
Awesome, clicked the buttons for ya. 👍
Cinematography was on point. Good looking episode. Always cool seeing parts of history. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! More to come!
Great stories from a RUclipsr that keeps it real.
Always gotta keep real! Thanks for watching!
The history lesson is a great addition, spot on from what I recall. 5th generation Arizonan. Recall living here when air and conditioning where not used together. Have hiked the Islands In The Sky. good walks, amazing what I can go through in a few hours. as a friend once said... Arizona, Where temperature is just a Destination. Travel safe, fuel up often.
I love that saying it’s absolutely accurate out here. Thank you for your support and watching!
Just found and, because of your content, added another three waypoints (including Sandy's) away from an already plotted route. Thanks for sharing.
That place was great. Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
Top notch vid my dude. You've really perfected the camera skills. Loved the content as well. The lives and story's of Indigenous people have been a great inspiration to me personally. Would love to see more like this. Great work
Love to hear that bro. Definitely more of this type of content coming. Love that my base has a history passion as well!
Excellent job. I love AZ history.
Thank you!
Fantastic history. Great footage. Really appreciate your work on this. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it, it’s my pleasure
My wife and I moved to Cochise county November 2019 for decent all year weather. The longer we're here, and the more we learn about the history, the more we love it here. I drove Jeeps for over 20 years before moving here, and haven't had one for about the last 10 years. Well, after living here for a year, I realized I needed to get back into a Jeep. I've explored a lot of the area since and have gotten to know Las Cienegas NCA and the Santa Rita OHV area pretty well. My wife and I have visited the Strong hold and driven to the top of the Chiricahua's. I found you're video and it was very inspiring. I've explored the west side of the Dragoon's just north of the Border Patrol check point on hwy 80. Now I need to check out your route up to the China camp area. I'm very happy to have found your video. Thanks
The whole corner of this state is really special and has some of the richest pre modern and ancient history. To get to that China camp area just take middle March road in right passed the check point off 80. Definitely would climb it in something somewhat high clearance. There’s 3 more mines once you get passed the camp. Soren pass is also really cool. The dragoons are one mountain range that holds a special place in my heart.
When im out in the sticks with my pup, i bring music, my small grill and some targets. Otherwise I am just playing with my equipment, trying to make my arrangements more efficient. I am loving your adventures. I live out in Cochise County and just started my Overland Adventures. It's the best therapy an old Soldier like me can get these days. Thank you for your videos
Cochise county is awesome, I’ve debated moving down that way. Nothing beats therapy by Mother Nature, everyone needs a good reset every now and then. I appreciate you watching, going to get some more filming in down your way soon!
Great job! The history, drone footage and beautiful landscape. 👌
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
Love this combo of overlanding and stories of the land.
More of this content comjng very soon. I’m really glad my viewers enjoy it as much as I do producing it
Great job, my man. Each video you put out is more and more polished. Well done honing your craft.
Love to hear it man thank you for watching!
OMG I cracked up when you commented about the memory and eggs! Awesome!
One of your best videos keep this up brother!
Thanks my man!
Shooting and downloaded movies on the iPad man! Great video. I am so glad someone is doing southern AZ.
Shooting indeed unfortunately this guy is broke and brass sure doesn’t get any cheaper. That is why I bought 7.62 but then they went and banned the import… that Russian/Chinese surplus sure was nice
Keep it up. Your channel rocks
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
love it brother, this is your niche!!!
Appreciate it!!
Opening is just like some documentary, brilliant presentation my friend!
So glad to hear it! More like this to come thanks for watching!
Excellent video. I’ll have to go check this area out, thanks for the history lesson!
It’s certainly not a popular mountain range by any means. Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
Great video and nicely edited. The scenery and story of the area are well put together.
Thank you!
i enjoyed the history about the Indians. I think other overlanding channels forget their followers are not all american. I am in the UK.
I think a lot of the history of the places we travel is way under appreciated. Glad to hear I’ve got viewers over the pond! Thanks for the support!
Great video. My Great Great Grandmother and Grandfather are buried at Desert Rest Cemetery in Bowie. I spent many summers running, gunning and camping in those mountains and desert. I love that area from Tucson, Texas Canyon to Willcox and Bowie. So much so I bought some land of off Ft Grant Road in Willcox to retire at. Thanks again for the video.
It’s really special out that way, my backyard my entire life. History runs deep in that country. That’s some awesome connections you have!
Very interesting piece of history I learned today. You've told it well.
Glad you enjoyed, and thank you for watching
these locations are very real to me. My family history tells of great grandfather exploring these southern mountainous regions, California to New Mexico. Im visually living through your videos. great job..
I’m glad you can relate. I have deep roots in these areas as well and they go so under appreciated
I love the history you brought to this video. Thank you it's so interesting. Yes please do more of this stuff❤ God bless you and keep you safe.
Thank you for the support! I’ll have more of this type of stuff coming soon!
I have been binge watching your vids for a couple weeks now. I am so inspired to take a long trip through many of these areas in AZ. I also have family history in the western part of the state. Thanks for keeping in real, you are a true adventurer. And my solo travels are so busy that keeping myself entertained is not a problem.
Man thank you for the support. I’m really lucky to have this area as my backyard. So much history and endless land to roam
That was great 👍🏻
I grew exploring all that area. Great job sharing the history. Keep it up
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Definitely my favorite place in arizona
Great job , very interesting content I hope there’s more to come
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching! Definitely more to come
I think you're really on to something wonderful. You clearly do not skimp on quality when capturing the fruitful history and picturesque topography you're traversing. You have also reminded me of the serenity that comes from a solus adventure, and just how much I need that in my life. I am looking forward to seeing more of your escapades that shed some light on the history of Arizona.
Sir with that kinda vocabulary I think I’d like you to write my next script lol thanks brother man
Out standing, you got me to subscribe.
I love the clip of you making “Arizona pinstrips” on your truck @ 9 min 30 sec
Just stumbled across your Channel. Fantastic video and really inspiring me to get off my arse and hit the road in my campervan in cold and wet North West England! 🤦♂️🤣.
Keep the vids coming, they’re amazing! 👏😎👍
Shoot thanks for the sub! Gotta get out and enjoy the outdoors while it’s still around, I’m sure it’s hard to get out in your area when you’re covered in snow most of the year!
This was cool man, i like the historical info.
Great video. Your historical perspective of the area was fascinating. I was especially interested since my great-grandfather was with the U.S. cavalry fighting both the Indians and Mexican raiders a little further east from where you were in West Texas and New Mexico. You also gave me some good ideas for my next off-road trip. Thanks.
Thanks man! This is by far some of the most interesting history in Arizona. Something I’m afraid is dismissed far too easily.
You're different. There's a feeling you care more about sharing than just getting the subscribers, though that is a desire of yours. Stay true to you and keep up the good work brother!
I really appreciate that acknowledgment my man. Thank you.
Hell of a history teller! Love the channel…Subscribed!
Thank you for those words! Welcome to the channel and thanks for the sub!
Very well done!! You my friend are articulate and knowledgeable! I for one am looking forward to more content from you. Make a way to buy you a tank of gas! I’d be honored.
Oh shoot it’s an honor to bring you this stuff! Best thing you can do to support me is watch. I certainly appreciate it!
Great video and really enjoy the history lesson. When i solo camp ( typically on a hunting trip) I like to just sit and gaze through a spotting scope or bino's . Watching wildlife life this and spotting far off destinations really passes the time. Oh, and keeping my eyes on the ground looking for arrowheads
I always keep some binos on me. It’s incredible how much wildlife you can see in an hour!
New subscriber ! Much appreciate your straight forward approach. Look forward for more good work. We take an enormous amount for granted these days !
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
Great job, AZ history is so cool
Thank you most certainly is!
Absolutely terrific content. This site will take off as more people find it.
Thanks! i sure hope one day
Just sub, nice looking rig and enjoying the great videos and info.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for the sub!
Dude, killer content! Time to get my Power Wagon up to speed, throw the dog in the back and start seeing the country. Genuinely inspired.
Thanks all it takes brother. Power wagons are solid rigs full send!
Love your channel. So much amazing history in AZ. Just subscribed...looking forward to seeing move vlogs from you!
Thank you so much for the sub! More content coming soon!
wow great job . i real enjoy you trips plus the history lesson.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing your adventure with us, & yes, the history lesson is much appreciated.
Glad you can enjoy the history. Thanks for watching
Good work! Keep it going.
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic. Subscribed and diving into all of your other videos. Educational on so many fronts.
In any other state, that mine would have a metal gate over it. But it’s AZ where anything goes.
It’s still the Wild West! No limits out here
congrats on over 1k subscribers. Eat shrooms when solo camping. Experience one-ness with the hawks.
Thanks brother man. Spoken from a true master
New to the channel. Love the content bro. I like you went solo. It reassures me I can also go solo and turn around if I don't like the terrain. Couple of the videos are in AZ . I'm also from AZ and will be checking them out. Thanks!
Right on man thanks for the sub! Where you located out here?
@@Whitedogoverland I'm in Mesa, Question do you go during the week? It barely be anyone on the trails u be on. I be looking for that road less traveled.
Great job on the Video. The history is really interesting to listen to. Thank you.
Doing a great job with the history, I lIke to hear more. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, I have more historical videos planned over the next couple months!
Been watching your vids. Had a similar experience growing up in West Texas with pioneer family. Comanche and Apache country. Keep it up. My advice? Dont sell your house. Rest on that thought for some time. Rent it out to California people.
i live in Herefotrd, and visit here frequently...
As a resident of the nearby town of dragoon I've been to some of the places you shared. However I drive a Chevy van camper and can't get to the more remote, rugged ares. Thanks for sharing 🤠
A lot of those roads have been fairly well groomed over the last couple years it seems! Love the dragoon area, I’m out there twice a month delivering livestock feed!
Brilliant !! I will be watching all your videos 😊
Thank you so much!
Beautiful 🐕
I really love these kind of videos. I’m more familiar with the Lakota and Cheyene Native Americans. Is good to know also about the Apaches. Arizona is a beautiful state full of nice energies! Keep going!
Thank you! I love this state and all the history behind it
@@Whitedogoverland I visited Arizona 6 years ago and the first I noticed in the airport was the strong energy. Those mountains in the Cochise stronghold are very special. After seeing your video I felt with a sense of peace! Keep going!
Good stuff, thanks for sharing.
Great stories, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I am an older feller. I am in Tanque Verde and my fun is doing just what you are doing. I would love to travel the roads around Tombstone. Sometimes can you drop a hint as to how to access these roads? I dont use electronic maps, I rely on compass and paper maps. I wish I could use electronic maps but would need training. In any event, thanks for the tour. I do mine with a 2010 Toyota Sequoia with 313,000 miles..... I also love the content. I dont subscribe to anything, but I will be a follower from now on. Take care and good trails to you.
I’m also in the Tanque verde area! I don’t often share locations in specific only certain areas that are well known. I really try to preserve some of the less known areas of Az, kinda like to keep them my secrets paradise but will share through direct contact! Are you by chance on Instagram? That’s the only social media I really have
The only real problem I have with your videos is that there is only one "like" button.
Great video
at 4:49 in the video. bring a few friends and and some shovels, and clear the wash out. flatten it out, and tell no one else! just my take...LOL!
Not a bad call, would be a sweet access road to see all the mines up at the peak!
Great video. What kind of camper shell/ tent do you have?
Nice job Brother! I just subscribed due to your videos quality. What brand is that new camper you have on the back of your Tundra?
Thank you for the support! It’s a Flippac camper they’re one of the first brands to come out with a canopy camper
@White Dog Overland Thank you for information! Appreciate it! Too bad they aren't currently being made. But I may be able to find one on the secondary market for a Tundra? Take care!
What type of camper shell is that? I’m brand new to overlanding and have a 1st gen tundra. This would be awesome for our 3 dogs since there is a sleeping space up top. Thanks
It’s called a Flippac. They don’t make them anymore but you can find them on marketplace every now and then. I waited a year to finally find the right one. I have three dogs and a wife as well and it’s perfect
12:00 hmm.... The Mogollon culture disappeared about the time the Chiricahua Apache entered the area. The Chiricahua Apache's disappeared about the time the Europeans entered the area. Pattern? Excellent video by the way. thx
The patterns are always rather predictable. One civilization out competes the next. One day it will be our time as well. Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed!
Just found you! Love the video. Please keep them coming.
You got it!
morse code , ham radio just 5 watts.... in a place like that no electrical noise ... thanks
Two Slabs. The timbers, rails, doors, windows, all metals............anything of possible value was 'recycled' and used elsewhere.
Your Apache history spoken @ Ft. Bowie is wrong. Ever met any Apaches descended from Cochise? I have. General Crook never met or saw Cochise. Mangas Coloradas was dead by treachery long before General Howard met w/ Cochise & formed the Chiricahua Reservation that was never ratified by congress. Cochise never lived @ San Carlos. After Cochise death the Chiricahua rez was disbanded & his sons & others tried life @ the hole called San Carlos but were treated badly & the war went on. Geronimo surrendered to gen, Miles in 1886 & in typical backstabbing fashion Miles sent the Apache Scouts away as prisoners of war although the were US soldiers who helped arrange the surrender. Geronimo & the Chiricahuas lived as prisoners of war for 27 years... including the children born as prisoners (illegal as can be).
Thank you for the insight! I’m merely repeating the history I’ve studied but it seems I may have miss spoken a name here and there and it seems that history is always portrayed by several different accounts. I did actually read in account of general crook in the book “on the border with crook” that he did have a peaceful run in with Cochise in the wetstone mountains. I appreciate someone who has studied this interesting history and can give myself different points of perspective into the Apaches.
Excellent video
Loved it! Thank you again for doing this. I truly hope this does take off. It is more than worth the time to watch. I am 54, born and raised in Arizona also. My early childhood was in Payson, then my fondest memories growing up in Cochise County. I consider Sierra Vista my hometown, but grew up exploring all over the county. I think of the Huachucas as "my mountains" every time I visit, and I cut fire breaks in those brutally rocky canyons as a boy scout. I really appreciate your videos more than I can say. Bless you.
The whole area in the south east corner of Az I loaded with beauty and history. We’re so lucky to have it right at our finger tips. I’m really glad you can enjoy the history, it’s my favorite type of content to create and I’ll be doing more this winter when the temps cool down a bit!
