  • This video was originally published as a multi part series and has been remastered into a long format episode. 200+ miles on the dirt from Utah to Colorado along the Rimrocker trail and beyond. We set out to put as many miles on the dirt as we possibly could over 3 days and in this video we head out on the Rim Rocker trail traveling from Utah to Colorado, going from the heat of the desert, to the cool climate of the Mountains. We encounter some scenic views, find some epic camp spots, eat some great foot and have a memorable overland adventure!

    I heard about Rimrocker from your original video a few years back, and it motivated me to take my lifted 4Runner out there this past summer from Ohio. It was an experience of a lifetime. We had my 06 4Runner, and my buddies 08 Land Cruiser, and we took about 3 days to do the trail. Started Friday afternoon, finished Sunday around noon, and had perfect weather for early July and great food to go along with it. Went along to do White Rim Road in Canyonlands the next day, which was just as impressive. Thanks for doing such a fantastic in-depth review on such an awesome trail!

    Came and did part of the Rimrocker back in June with a couple local buddies, in a rental TRD Offroad Tacoma, all the way from Australia. Could not have fallen more in love with a place than I did in the Utah/Colorado mountains; we started from Biscuit Rock and pushed on over to Onion Creek and Moab over the next day or two.

    Awesome video! I always travel with antibiotics. Preppers buy theirs from Cal Vet Supply. Look up fish flex. It’s cephalexin that they can sell without a prescription because the say it’s for fish. It’s the exact same pill the Dr prescribes. Cephalexin is a pretty good all purpose antibiotic. They also have others. Love your channel!

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  Před rokem +3

      Thanks for watching the channel! I'd recommend being very careful taking antibiotics without a prescription. Not everything needs to be treated with an antibiotic and not all antibiotics treat the same bacteria/infections. Overuse of antibiotics is a real problem which is why some bacteria become resistant to them. Safe travels!

    • @BrianWalker1976
      @BrianWalker1976 Před rokem

      @@TrailRecon I completely agree with everything you said. Still, when you're in the backcountry there are times you know without a doubt you're going to need them, and it's better to have a little overuse than to need them and not have them. You definitely need to use a little more than common sense, but when used with caution, they can literally be a life saver.
