This video was original filmed as a 3 part adventure in 2021 and has been remastered into this single full length movie. I plan on doing longer format videos in 2023 and would love to hear your thoughts on longer videos like this one. Thanks for watching, Brad
I love longer videos, and remastering previous episodes makes the channel and individual adventures easier to watch as we don't have to search through everything else. I'd recommend adding video chapters for each day, that way if you click off part way through a long video it's easier to pick up where you left off (RUclips sometimes restarts a video you were part way through) Hope that is helpful
I remember watching these videos, it works well as one full length movie. Please remake more of these, it feels like watching it for the first time. I really enjoyed this. Thanks Brad.
So, im guessing, based on clues in the video, that you visited during the coof restrictions of 2020? Because the hot springs were closed and the castle was still owned by Randy. The Castle is now a B&B and the owner also owns the Angles Ladies Brothel in Beatty NV, now a B&B as well. I sure miss DVNP. I hope to take my son this spring. Titus Canyon is, IMO, highly under rated. The wow factor is off the scale
Brad the second mine you visited is chalk full of history. That stone structure was the general store. The mine was a copper mine, that I believe was called Copper bottom and was the first mine in the United States to use Pneumatic tools. A miner who lived in look out city once raped an Timbisha Shoshone woman. The men of the tribe sought for the miner and the town helped him escape down to the bottom of the mine. The result was several miners lost their lives in the retaliation and a group of soldiers from fort Tejon were called to live in Panamint for a short time to keep the peace. There are also some well known gunfights that happened in look out city. Pretty rugged place. (By the way Brad heard a great thought you would appreciate. "Save one life and your a Hero, save many lives and your just a medic" thank you again for your service)
I should have read the whole title. The entire time it felt familiar. Half way in it finally hit me that I had seen this. That flyover (Airpower!) gave it away 😂
Hi, great video, thx. Could you please tell me in what month this trip was done? I would love to visit some of those same areas but am concerned about snow at higher elevations when traveling alone.
Couldn't help but notice you were wearing a USN hat. I am a Vietnam Vet and served aboard the USS Bausell DD-845. Love your video's and adventures, keep up the great videos.
Love the longer format! Especially the longer 2 - 3 - 4 day trips. Cause usually we can find part1 or part 3 but never all the parts at the same time!!
Hey Brad, you forgot to go to Furnace Creek golf course. LOL. 216 feet below sea level! Used to play it every year at our Air Force reunion. Great vid. Loved the USN hat for sure. You are a true patriot as are your friends. OBTW, I took your recommend and now am outfitted with the Medic IFAK. Cheers and be well. Thanks for making me smile for an hour or so. If you ever want to change it up for a day, check my profile. Would love to take you and the wife sailing round San Diego.
I would like to go to Death Valley, but my truck has a 10" lift with 38" tires that exceeds the lift laws of California. I like to travel with some of my guns, in order to do some shooting too, but some of them are illegal in California, thus I stay clear of California, and only travel in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah where both my truck and my guns are legal.
As a kid we camped out there. One night we went to sleep with a full camp. That night the wind came in and took out our tent and we jumped into our 1972 VW camper, safe and sound. In the morning there was a mostly empty camp ground. The next day was great. I wish I had more of those memories.
Looks like an awesome trip, but going forward can you attach a "disclaimer" that Marko is cooking on it? I had to pause it to goto the grocery store to make carne asada tacos.... I wasn't even hungry haha. Keep up the great work!!
37:05 - this is exactly why you should get educated about your car before going on trails, many people don’t even read the owners manual of their vehicle. Get basic knowledge about your vehicle and always travel with tools!
It's funny how much parts of Death Valley looks like the Pony Express trail through the Tooele Utah desert going into Navada. I love watching your adventures.
I am good watching the long format! Great trip! My wife and I spent 4 days this year in Death Valley in May... temps at night were in the 70's and the day got up to high 90's. It was a great place to see all sorts of cool things! I told her if we ever come back...I would want to do the north area for a few days! We are from Montana... so it won't be soon that we make it back down there...the worst thing about it was the fuel costs! But Panamint Springs was like 3 dollars a gallon less... so that is a great place to fuel up! Great video!
great video, been there many times, everywhere you enjoyed, that tie rod joint failure dosent seem right, upgrade the upgrade, epic times with great friends, as good as it gets.
Hey great video! Question! I’ve been thinking about getting an iPad for navigation as well. Do you need the cellular version to use Apple Maps, onX, Gaia and other apps?
The cellular once come with GPS, but there are some iPad versions that come without cellular and still have gps, you just need to look at the specs. If you pre download maps for off line use, you won't need to activate cellular, just the ability to use the gps.
Watch out for those burros... We had fixings for breakfast burritos and other cold foods in an ice chest. Sausage, eggs, cheese, salsa, and cold foods. We thought it would be safe...... that night they came into camp, opened up the chest and ate everything in that ice chest. Needless to say, we only had granola bars to eat that morning. Great area to explore!!
These Canyons are Full of Ghosts is a great book written by one of the last small miners in Death Valley. Complete with his encounter with the Barker Ranch temporary inhabitants in 1969.
Oh sweet perfect timing couldn’t remember this video going to be heading out finally 3 days alone maybe 4 lol I so need it, always great stuff, as always be safe
Thanks for this video. I love the longer format ones and showing us around. I am in the planning stages of my trip from AK down through Canada and then travel across the US. I am debating for the 5k+ miles whether I want to do Jeep with Rooftop tent, Camper Van (like builtt out Sprinter, Taco with rooftop tent or a camper trailer (not a Patriot though I would love one, maybe a teardrop). I will be doing all backroads and no interstates in the US. I am going to try and do the less travelled roads and stopping at all the beautiful places along the way. I know I will do some Airbnbs and hotels but want to be out in nature as much as I can on this trip. Any thoughts from you or the community on this? Thanks.
And after this trip it will either become my daily driver or be sold and buy something else. But I do love Jeeps but know they are not comfy on long drives but do better on the trails. I will not be doing rock crawling but want some capable offroading.
I knew Death Valley in the 70's. Drive to Panamint mine and Manson's bus was still at the ranch. Defense mine and many more were great in the 70's. You do a great job with the videos.
Greetings from Costa Rica!! I have come to enjoy your videos a lot. I am basically new to the Jeep life (got a WK2 about a year ago) and this trip looks like a dream to me. Hopefully I will be able to make it in a future not far away.
I do like longer videos. But if had to choose I’d take shorter videos (your usual length) at a good cadence then have to wait a couple months for longer videos. A mixture of both would be great. I always look forward to seeing what you release because I get some remote dirt therapy by watching them. Helps to tide me over between my own adventures. Thanks for sharing your experience. I look forward to what ever you bring forward.
I've been procrastinating getting my drone license, but it's a goal to knock it out soon. However, there are no drones allowed in Death Valley, so couldn't have used it in the video anyway.
Brad, great video. This brought back some great memories of my days visiting Death Valley with my friends back in the 80s in our GMC Jimmy. Titus Canyon, the Racetrack, Saline Valley, Rhyolite, Panamint Valley, and many more. Have you been to Scotty's Castle and Ubehebe Crater? Man, I miss those days. Always looking forward to your videos. Thank you for the memories.
Hi Brad, Your shots and editing are great; just like a short movie. I am saving up for a rig. Looking at a 1990's Cherokee. Will see. Love to get out with you all to learn more about off-roading and learn from Marco. I love to cook myself. Thanks again for awesome adventures.
This adventure is exactly the kind of stuff I aim to do in my 4x4 144 Sprinter…add in a bit of looking for reptiles lol. Do you think this trail is doable with a sprinter? Most of it looked butter. That one rock crawling section looked sketchy possibly…but most looked doable.
What a great video, adventures like these make you wanna be a Jeeper. Amazing kids haven't destroyed that cabin, I thought things like that only existed in movies!
Love your channel and it's motivated me to start my own adventure RUclips Channel. Looking forward to doing some of the things you guys have been doing and done! :)
Brad buddy I really enjoy your journeys. This is a dream that I’m making happen to do what you do at this moment. So far I’m enjoying your dreams come true .
I liked the longer format, it turned out great! Also, can we get a walk around of Jim’s JKU? I’ve seen it on your channel and maybe Wayalife too and would love to see more about it
Wow, you guys covered a lot of ground. Just got back yesterday from death valley and saw some of the same places. Going back again soon hopefully to check out some of the areas that I missed. It was cold at night. Our last night there at the race track was 17dgrs at 7am. Brrrrr!!!! Thanks for sharing your video. Maybe see you at overland expo Flagstaff next year.
Awesome video Brad.. I like this type of content but I also like the day drives out to trails. IE shorter half hour videos. I enjoy those day trips out to trails content.
I don't have all the specs, but Jim did a great job with it. I know it has 60's underneath, running on 39's and the Mopar High Fenders (which I wish I could get my hands on). He loves that Jeep and it's his go to adventure vehicle.
Absolutely brilliant movie. This was really special, love seeing the Patriots doing the rugged stuff, they just go anywhere there tow rig can take them, brilliant.❤😊
I climb cell towers here in WV and any time we climb over around Marlinton, WV, the jets fly over and buzz the tower. I was recently on a tower and had 3 C130’s flying the map just outside of Hinton, WV. Epic stuff!
That's why I like Older Vehicles, less Crap to go wrong ,unless you can Afford to have a Computer Specialist traveling with you,and a half ton of sensors! I can't, so give me an older vehicle without all that B.S installed! 🇺🇸🙏
58:07 ... "I'll tell you what!" ... reminded me of Bill Engvall being from the state of Texas and having their own language with complete sentences made up of just these words ... "I'll tell you what!"
we just did the same rout on the same week as you guys but from the opposite direction . and on friday after sunset you guys drove by us leaving the warm springs . keep up the great videos that inspires so many
Great Video, I only found y'all in the last few days. I live just north of Seattle and am building a 85 Blazer for re tracing some of these great WA trails. When I moved here 20 years ago, Seattle was a great mid size city that was safe. Today its one big homeless camp, trash dump and not safe. Crime is rampant and police dont care. If someone is arrested they are let go immediately, so police dont bother. But yet over 100,000 people move here every year. Traffic is gridlock on rough roads. So Seattle is not a place to visit or move to. Give me the country and back roads any day.
Hey brother, great quality video This should be on PBS or something... When did you retire? I retired in 2014... I explore a lot of Nevada as well with my 2 brothers. Love ghost towns and mines... Great video brother...
I lived in Battle Mountain and worked mapping the valleys and mountains all over central NV where I would get buzzed by the fighters on an almost daily basis!!! So bad ass to know those guys would see me and buzz me like they did. And that was 20 years ago!
Great video. I love DV. Had my bike down Lippencott and over Hunter mountain where we got buzzed by fighter jets. You are correct the race track is a must. Thanks for sharing
As a miner of 50 years I would not go into those mines as far as you did! You don’t know what you’re doing or what dangers to look for. You also need specialized gas detection equipment and know how to read roof conditions. It always amazes me how people say you’ll never get me to go in mine but then charge in recklessly when they get to one - don’t figure. It’s the equivalent of me trying to follow you on a trail with my wife’s minivan!
I often wonder when I watch these adventures, does anyone or all carry protection? I don't think I would feel comfortable without. Love watching these adventures. Maybe someday I'll jump in it too.
You must carry a weapon. Problem is, since DV became a national park in 1993 no firearms are allowed. Just pack your heat and keep your mouth shut. Better safe than sorry. Crime is EVERYEHERE today in 2022. Worry about consequences later. Being armed can save your life
@@stripervince1 if you have a valid concealed weapon permit you can carry in all parks in the US what you can't do is go into some of the facilities they have like stores. But I agree with you, Carrie keep your mouth closed and keep yourself safe I wouldn't leave home without it ever
Well, what I can tell you about the bighorn sheep in the Dome Mountains may make you depressed. Working for the railroad and passing along the canal following the tracks, I’ve not had luck in the winter time. This past summer though I was fortunate to see many sheep, either early in the morning or close to sunset late afternoon as they make their way from the mountains to the canal for water. I was also fortunate to see small ones with them. So, I know winter is really ideal, but the summer is when we have spotted them. Good luck to you on your adventures

Brad , I notice that the DynaTrac jeep has front locking hubs . Do many people install them to help with fuel economy ?
Thanks for the clean language and content Brad!
Always family friendly here on TrailRecon!
Please do a rig walk around of Jim’s JK
Couldn't help but notice you were wearing a USN hat. I am a Vietnam Vet and served aboard the USS Bausell DD-845. Love your video's and adventures, keep up the great videos.

We actually stayed in Panamint Springs on a MC ride before we headed across Death Valley about 15 years ago.
I would like to go to Death Valley, but my truck has a 10" lift with 38" tires that exceeds the lift laws of California.

Love this kind of content Brad! Do more of these on the trail videos, especially to Alaska.
That's the plan!
@@TrailRecon Awesome!
Good thing you mentioned it was previously aired, I was thinking “have I seen this before or am I losing my mind?”
Looks like an awesome trip, but going forward can you attach a "disclaimer" that Marko is cooking on it? I had to pause it to goto the grocery store to make carne asada tacos.... I wasn't even hungry haha. Keep up the great work!!

I've seen plenty of Sprinters out in DV, I'd just shy away from some of the more challenging trail like the Defense Mine.
@@TrailRecon thank you. Appreciate the reply and info.

Nope, Navy Corpsman in the Navy.

Brad you and Marco ought to be required watching on Thanksgiving thanks for all the memories wish I was there !!!!
Very awesome wish I could do it someday
Short videos for gear intros and reviews are good. But the long form adventure videos are excellent!
Why you didn´t use the X3 camper?
Thanks for all the great video. I always feel like I'm right there with you guys.
Brings back memories of working a mining claim out of Elko Nevada.
Thanks for taking us on your adventures virtually lol Loved the video
You do such a great job with the videos, thank you this was a great one
that was really cool to watch i need to go to those places
Great remake of the 3-part adventure. This included everything. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video Brad.. I like this type of content but I also like the day drives out to trails. IE shorter half hour videos. I enjoy those day trips out to trails content.
You finally did a video on my backyard! Loved it!
Great video as always and I really enjoy the long format! Also such a cool shot with the fighter jet flying over 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The flyover was my favorite part about the whole trip!
Great job with the video! Wondering what happened to the bronco?
great vid mr recon! loved the cookin
@TrailRecon do you have any specs on dynatrac jk build? I have seen the video on the JL setup but not JK. Keep up the great work
I don't have all the specs, but Jim did a great job with it. I know it has 60's underneath, running on 39's and the Mopar High Fenders (which I wish I could get my hands on). He loves that Jeep and it's his go to adventure vehicle.
@@TrailRecon same here, quadratec makes some for the JL I wish they made them for the JK
Man I love Josh’s gladiator haven’t seen him in a while hope all is well
another video with beautiful scenery and great content, nice job!
昔は、こんなアメリカの不毛な大地を４ＷＤの自動車で旅してみたいと思っていたが、今思うと「こんな変化の無いつまらない土地が延々と続く…」アメリカの平原って退屈だよなと思う様になったよ。
Such an awesome video.. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So we'll produced. I can watch these all day. Not into camping anymore but fun to participate vicariously.
Right on, thank you so much!
Brad this felt like a completely new adventure We absolutely enjoyed every moment. Yes the long form works Keep up the great videos
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome video & I really enjoyed watching. Two questions, do you have 37 inch tires in your rig? Also, was it much cooler inside those mining tunnels?
Thank you! yes, I was running 37's and no the temperature in the mines wasn't noticeable cooler.
Absolutely brilliant movie. This was really special, love seeing the Patriots doing the rugged stuff, they just go anywhere there tow rig can take them, brilliant.❤😊
I've been very happy and surprised where I have been able to take this trailer offroad.
I also have an X1N, it’s is my 2 nd Patriot and I am very impressed by their ruggedness and practical design. I am based in Western Australia.
I climb cell towers here in WV and any time we climb over around Marlinton, WV, the jets fly over and buzz the tower. I was recently on a tower and had 3 C130’s flying the map just outside of Hinton, WV. Epic stuff!

1st time in the valley 1973.. last time 2021.. California exploring FOR EVER!
4th video iv seen where a jeep is throwing a code , another one it was a Toyota, I'll stick with my 98 Chevy OBS.
I always loved the stories of Death Valley days on tv
As a miner of 50 years I would not go into those mines as far as you did! You don’t know what you’re doing or what dangers to look for. You also need specialized gas detection equipment and know how to read roof conditions.
It always amazes me how people say you’ll never get me to go in mine but then charge in recklessly when they get to one - don’t figure. It’s the equivalent of me trying to follow you on a trail with my wife’s minivan!
It's great to see a dedicated Chuck Wagon on the Trails (Marcos rig)🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😂😂😂👍👍🥂
Long videos are great!
Love this longer video format! Especially with the video sections listed. Easy to pause and get right back in!
Thank you! Working on more long format and will be sure to include chapters.
I often wonder when I watch these adventures, does anyone or all carry protection? I don't think I would feel comfortable without. Love watching these adventures. Maybe someday I'll jump in it too.
You must carry a weapon. Problem is, since DV became a national park in 1993 no firearms are allowed. Just pack your heat and keep your mouth shut. Better safe than sorry. Crime is EVERYEHERE today in 2022. Worry about consequences later. Being armed can save your life
@@stripervince1 if you have a valid concealed weapon permit you can carry in all parks in the US what you can't do is go into some of the facilities they have like stores. But I agree with you, Carrie keep your mouth closed and keep yourself safe I wouldn't leave home without it ever
Well, what I can tell you about the bighorn sheep in the Dome Mountains may make you depressed. Working for the railroad and passing along the canal following the tracks, I’ve not had luck in the winter time. This past summer though I was fortunate to see many sheep, either early in the morning or close to sunset late afternoon as they make their way from the mountains to the canal for water. I was also fortunate to see small ones with them. So, I know winter is really ideal, but the summer is when we have spotted them. Good luck to you on your adventures
So jealous. There is nothing like that in Illinois. This state doesn't doesn't support off-roading or overlanding. Enjoy your videos!
