I needed a creative challenge... and so I decided to try telling a story using only visuals and sounds. What do you think? Should I do one of these every so often?
I think what I like most about this format is it captures the reality of solo camping. Many people get caught up in the gear and the "highlights" that often get the focused attention in content. The truth is that the passion for gear only takes you so far. Overlanding, solo camping, etc has the majority of moments where solitude is your only friend.
Oh how I miss my FJ60. It was so solid and original. I love the sound of the transmission whining and how much torque it had. I would sleep in the back and have a walmart tarp over the open back window bungeed to the frame with an old tent pole making a roomy shelter to sit under in the rain. Enjoy her my friend and I hope to see more video's like this. Thanks.
I love seeing The Beast in its natural habitat. Easily one of the coolest trucks ever built. Bummer about the steak. I've done that many times. Quick rinse with water, and into the belly it goes! A little dirt never killed anyone 😝
This was a genuinely unique video as compared to your normal format. I of course wouldn’t want them all like this, but it was a fun viewing experience. I would like these every so often. Without music and commentary the peaceful solitude of solo travel really comes through.
Thanks for sharing that you dropped the piece of steak. I think that happens more often than many of us think. I camped with 3 old friends about 3 weeks ago. The one who cooked the steaks dropped 3 out of 4 of them. It's really is a good lesson. Protect those steaks, move them around on a tray or platter large enough they can't fall off. Cut carefully. Often knife cut free suddenly and food can be sent flying. Remember this lesson!
Why i am so more delightfull with your overland camp with these landcruiser than any other modern car? Its weird feeling.. but its great combination of classic and freedom.. need more video with this landcruis
Closing that door sounded so good. I was hooked! Something about classic vehicles that’s mesmerizing to me. I have a 21 trd but i love my 96 4runner more 😅
Been there done that with a steak. I simply rinse off the steak real good then give it a quick sear again. The trick is to be happy with a medium steak instead of a medium rare steak. Thanks for sharing.
I loved this style. I much prefer the sounds of traveling and the sounds of camp vs music. Although I do like your choices of music compared to some of the other popular RUclipsrs with their overly dramatic cinematic tunes.
Been watching ur videos since ur Vancouver Island days...u guys are in Belize...and I just spent 11 days in some beautiful parts of Canada...(6 days in Vancouver Island -Salish Seaside RV resort) Banff, Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, Capilano Suspension Bridge, Whytecliff Park, Nanaimo, Victoria, Empress, China Town, Sooke Pot Holes, Sky Walk and few other places...I know...touristy...but we have a 6 an 9 yr old with us...leaving tomorrow July 20 to Washington coast, then Oregon coast, red wood trees an S.F. then home in the L.A. area...27 days total...and absolutely loving it! Enjoying watching ur videos and an amazing Pan American trip.
Nice job putting this video together. I know the pain of dropped steak in the dirt. I have done this a time or 2 as well. I washed it off and still ate a mildly gritty steak of dirty.
I've watched many of y'alls videos and enjoy them, but this one was really cool as well. Kinda makes you feel like you're there and just thinking, similar to when you're actually going out wheeling or camping. Good idea and great execution. The shot when you arrive at the campsite and get out of the truck was especially good. I bet you wanted to walk over to the camera! Thanks!
I wish Toyota would build an FJ for the American market like this. A simple aluminum body on frame, box on wheels with solid axles, front and rear lockers and a big straight -6...or a V-8. ...maybe a diesel option. A super low crawl gear, and an optional manual trans. No electronic crawl control or fancy computer controlled traction stuff. Able to accept a 35" tire without rubbing or trimming. Factory steel wheels. No cameras, no power or heated seats, no power windows. A large fuel tank....like 30 gallons. Off-road bumpers, winch, rear swing mounted spare tire. Skid plates and rock sliders. Lots of additional blank switches for lights and accessories, and pre-wired for an additional battery. A tailgate. Comfortable seats for long trips. Rhino liner or Line-X on the floors....is that too much to ask, Toyota?...just keep it simple and bulletproof.
Wow!!! That Troopy , is awesome. If you had it shipped from Aussie Land, the cost , plus refurbishing her lots of $$$$. But worth every $. Three of my buddies had the Landcrusier Pick ups, and 2 had the landcrusiers back in the early 80s here in British Columbia, Canada. Cheers & many happy miles.
It was imported by someone else back in 2008 ( I think) We've been slowly restoring it since 2013. It's been fun! lso.link/beast is another video about some of the work.
Very stylish loved it , reminded me when I had a FJ40. I seriously use to sit in it and dream I was in Africa, ,,,,,, for a piece of steak like that I would go to the 60 second rule .
Loved the video. Also in Australia we go by the 10 second rule. But if it's steak we can accept 5 minutes. Especially when out bush. Brush it off and eat that bad boy!
WooHoo, but OH the multiple clutches I have killed on vehicles over the decades. Ouch I so want a similar ride, maybe you can do a video or Patreon Education Chat over coffee on how you research to find your wheels? What you know I don't! Loved 😍 this ride along. Love, and Hugs to ALL the family too.❤
Wow that’s a awesome 4wd it’s a credit to you for resorting it to this condition it would be a shame not to enjoy it thanks for sharing your story it was amazing 🇦🇺👍⛺️🔥
Nice, that will be me in a few weeks except I'll have a Husky with me, you should get a dog. I used to have a friend that had a late 60s Land Cruiser and another friend had a 77 CJ5 so we put them both to a test to see who could get the highest up the side of a large hill and there was no way anyone is getting to the top. The CJ was so light it couldn't get through the brush and didn't make it half as far as the Land Cruiser, that Toyota was a beast, bushes and small trees didn't stand a chance. Where that happened was not long after turned into tract houses in Alpine Ca and we knew it wouldn't matter if we killed a few trees there.
@@LifestyleOverland Hi Kevin, loved the vid....best yet I reckon - wondering is there a vid or link somewhere to the navigation unit you have in the Troopie or does anyone else know what it is please?
Although I do understand and appreciate the artistic style of the silence. It is not my cup of tea, but anything with that rig is worth watching. I love it. Like Simon and Garfunkel (Or Disturbed for the youngins) said the Sound of Silence.
Hey Kev, just had a random thought when I saw the empty factory number plate bracket, and thought HE needs a " novelty " LIFESTYLE OVERLAND number plate there, You can take that idea and run with it, And maybe even wack em in your merch store 👍🇦🇺
Nice to see the landcruiser out doing some land roving but at 14:52 when the T-bone dropped the video juices and sizzling sounds where filling the void of listening the usual chit chatter that usually is there not to say that I don't like the narrating. because I do. Thanks for sharing keep up the great work.
Thanks for riding along! I really tried to wash it off and it was still a no-go. Landed right in that Utah dust that embeds into everything. Steak grease soaked it right up. 🥺
Awesome Cruiser! I know Utah has a front plate requirement but I would be a rebel and ditch it. Chances are small you would be cited and the truck looks too good to ruin with a front plate.
Very cool and Robert Redford-esque Kevin, until you spoke about the steak. I might have applied the 10 second rule and doused it with a quick blast of water to save it. Try that video format again. It was really cool and drew my focus to your actions and the sounds.

Absolutely!

ASMR Overlanding!
Certainly🏕️👍. Outstanding content my man!
I love camping videos (silent) like this. just the sound of what you're doing, the truck and of course mother nature.
I think what I like most about this format is it captures the reality of solo camping. Many people get caught up in the gear and the "highlights" that often get the focused attention in content. The truth is that the passion for gear only takes you so far. Overlanding, solo camping, etc has the majority of moments where solitude is your only friend.
What a great piece of storytelling... really had me hooked from the start. The real sounds of adventure!
Thanks so much, Tim. Glad you enjoyed it! You might have to ship that 40 series to the states and do a trip with the Beast one day.
Kevin, I absolutely loved it, it's OK to wash the dirt off and devour it
Loved it Kevin! Early morning on my day off, quiet house and only the sounds of Nature and Beast. More please.
Oh how I miss my FJ60. It was so solid and original. I love the sound of the transmission whining and how much torque it had. I would sleep in the back and have a walmart tarp over the open back window bungeed to the frame with an old tent pole making a roomy shelter to sit under in the rain. Enjoy her my friend and I hope to see more video's like this. Thanks.
I love a good 60 series too. Such beautiful rides
Great intro- the feeling of peace by yourself in your garage. Then into ASMR over landing. Much win!
I really enjoyed making this one! Thanks for the feedback!
I love seeing The Beast in its natural habitat. Easily one of the coolest trucks ever built. Bummer about the steak. I've done that many times. Quick rinse with water, and into the belly it goes! A little dirt never killed anyone 😝

ASMR for overlanders. love it.
This was simply amazing! I waited and waited for you to talk...then I realized. Epic episode!

Definitely in need of a dog companion for solo traveling
Mesmerisingly beautiful, fantastic filming
Perfect truck.Perfect spot.Perfect meal.Well done Steak.
Awesome truck, great format!
Thanks, Danny! Glad you liked it!
Well thought out. Thanks for putting the trip together and sharing it.
Why i am so more delightfull with your overland camp with these landcruiser than any other modern car? Its weird feeling.. but its great combination of classic and freedom.. need more video with this landcruis
Hoohoo! Can’t wait 👍 I love classics😁
That pop up roof is really cool. I wish Jeep created something like this on the gladiator chassis. An overlanding van with a pop up roof.
Now that would be something!
I like how well your pop top blends in. Have been thinking the same thing for my 43 Dodge. It has a giant hole already.
This was something different and its good to change it up a little
Very nice Kevin. Time for an outing in my FJ40
Thank you! Yes, time in a classic is always good for the soul!
THANK YOU KEVIN! love the natural sounds and content!
What a great video. Love the format. Love the sound.
That Toyota looks sweet! Nice job on the build.
Loved it! I have an 2007 FJ standard transmission for my winter driver.
LOVED this video style and its serenity!
Very much a Go 4x4 video from down under. And I dig it.
I loved it
Loved it mate, suited the solo trip perfect
Closing that door sounded so good. I was hooked! Something about classic vehicles that’s mesmerizing to me. I have a 21 trd but i love my 96 4runner more 😅
Great video! Sometimes we just need no words. I’m looking forward to this weekend in Jackson Hole with few words, kind of like your video.
Such a work of art. Oh and the video was pretty good too.
Just the basics, nothing else, pure and true. You should do it again with that awesome family, I think that would be cool 😎
Rinse it off and eat it. Great video. I'm ery happy to see the old cruiser out and at it.
What a beautiful machine..
Was hoping to see a follow up video of your DIY power inverter.

5 second rule :). Awesome video. Love the vehicle. Totally jealous of the solo time.
Love it… these are most of my getaways
Great video, love the FJ45. next time Ill join you.
Keep on trucking man, lovely video.
You said it "Peaceful "!
It really was so serene!
In the style of Fish13! A little odd at first, but becomes absolutely mesmerizing. ASMR is a great way to describe it.
What was the change you did to silver to add a new screen system to the dash?/ Nav, Audio, Diagnostics?? I want to do the same. Was it any good?
Great video. Love it
Thanks so much!
Awesome truck and video 👍🏾
Thanks 👍
Nice job putting this video together. I know the pain of dropped steak in the dirt. I have done this a time or 2 as well. I washed it off and still ate a mildly gritty steak of dirty.
Can you please tell me what brand and model is the display? You can see the elevation? Insane!
Lovin the Nat Sounds!
Nice film work Kevin. 👍 And the steak just had added a little overland seasoning.😁
Thats a sweet looking rig… wouldnt change anything about it….
I've watched many of y'alls videos and enjoy them, but this one was really cool as well.

Mesmerisingly beautiful, fantastic filming 👍
Stunning video
i can always appreciate a good silent adventure! new here! good stuff man!
We need a video and tour FJ interior. Cover the tent and interior liveability….or potential build out liveability.
The second you backed up I started laughing. I know the feeling.
I loved it. Very well done.

Very satisfying ,and the steak was amazing looking 😀🌴
Loved the video. Also in Australia we go by the 10 second rule. But if it's steak we can accept 5 minutes. Especially when out bush. Brush it off and eat that bad boy!
What a stunning truck 👏👏👏
What happened to the line when you hooked up the propane it looked to be missing? Really enjoyed this new style of video.
WooHoo, but OH the multiple clutches I have killed on vehicles over the decades.

Thanks! These were built to drive!
Awesome video. What knife set is that?
We liked it!
Did you do the body work and paint on the old troopy yourself or did you take it somewhere to get that done?
Nice, that will be me in a few weeks except I'll have a Husky with me, you should get a dog.

How do you have the tablet mounted in the land cruiser??
1" Ram Mounts. They're super handy.
@@LifestyleOverland Hi Kevin, loved the vid....best yet I reckon - wondering is there a vid or link somewhere to the navigation unit you have in the Troopie or does anyone else know what it is please?
It's the Tread XL by Garmin. Way expensive but does well.
Awesome
Although I do understand and appreciate the artistic style of the silence. It is not my cup of tea, but anything with that rig is worth watching. I love it. Like Simon and Garfunkel (Or Disturbed for the youngins) said the Sound of Silence.
I liked it. Thanks
This is very Chad of you! I shall call it Living the Troopie Life! Nice video! Love y’all!
I enjoyed it 👍🏻
what happened to the old powertrain? those old diesels are few and far between
It came from Australia with a 70's era Chevy 350 in it so no idea what happened.
@@LifestyleOverland ah shame, thanks for responding though 😂😂
Wow
Funny that the LC started right up, but the T4R needed a jump. That tells you something.
I have seen some B 0 ring staff in my life your videos are just ultimate 😂
Hey Kev, just had a random thought when I saw the empty factory number plate bracket, and thought HE needs a " novelty " LIFESTYLE OVERLAND number plate there,
You can take that idea and run with it,
And maybe even wack em in your merch store 👍🇦🇺
Love it
Ya got me at Porterhouse
I was cool. This is what the Go4X4 channel is all about.
24 hours of peace ....... 2kids and a wife ....

Nice to see the landcruiser out doing some land roving but at 14:52 when the T-bone dropped the video juices and sizzling sounds where filling the void of listening the usual chit chatter that usually is there not to say that I don't like the narrating. because I do. Thanks for sharing keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for sharing an Asome Beast, I enjoyed the ride and the sunset.
Now I can go get something to eat
Cheers ❤
do you have something like apple car play installed in ur cruiser?
That was great, I could taste the steak🤣🤩🥃🥃🥃🥃 I think mine was the piece you dropped, little rinse and it was fine😎🤩⭐️⭐️
Thanks for riding along! I really tried to wash it off and it was still a no-go. Landed right in that Utah dust that embeds into everything. Steak grease soaked it right up. 🥺
@@LifestyleOverland that’s just more flavorful; seriously; I’ve done that myself( I rinsed mine with whiskey; Johnny Walker🤩)
Beautiful Land Cruiser👌🏼 love the color! What’s the name/code of the color?
Keep up the great content!
Awesome Cruiser!
I know Utah has a front plate requirement but I would be a rebel and ditch it. Chances are small you would be cited and the truck looks too good to ruin with a front plate.
Great video with the Beast. Sorry about that steak though.
