Such a huge honor to have you and your wife up here. My son plays with the monster truck you gave him every day 🙌
Great video as always my friend
We were so thankful to have you as our guide! We couldn't have asked for a better host in the PNW. Monster trucks rule!
Really GREAT to see Christopher wheelin with you Nate at the young age of 4.
I love how Christopher re-enacted Brad getting the the Power Wagon. I think it was spot on!
Nate your boy is so cute! My 4 are all boy scouts but they are mostly moody preteen buttheads hahahaha. So im really glad to see you're starting to take them out more, cause before you know it they wont be so sweet anymore.
@@FlawedOffroad try teaching your boys to LIVING OFF GRID and Back to Basics and the land flatearth101 com and 5g is killing humans not a FAKE VIRUS 5GSPACEAPPEAL org and
This episode had all the feels! Christopher opening his presents, Brad and Regina showing us the spot they were married… loved it!
1:39 Good to see Olympic Corrections Center get a shout out. Best six months of my life. 😉
"I have no idea where I'm going."
Sounds like a good start!
Should be printed on a shirt as well lol
Amazing video! I had the biggest smile and laughed so hard at Christopher's reaction opening his presents! He was so adorable opening those. Loved that you included that part.
America's best kept secret. Even at the height of summer it's never 'busy'. In the winter you have the whole place to yourself. If you ever wonder whether your camping stuff is waterproof, you'll find out there! We used to go up there with my school to see the progress of the Elwha dam removal restoration project every year. After 3 years the area was completely unrecognizable from before - crazy how fast nature comes back in that area. You guys drove by lake crescent on your way to Port Angeles which was created from a landslide that dammed the existing outflow of the river and then filled up to empty in a different location. The whole area is a blast
Great to see your wife now part of the TrailRecon adventures. Looking forward to a woman's take on the truck, camper, gear and travel!
Love seeing nick and you together and can’t wait to see Marco back on with you
I am a 35 year old Paleontology student and I have that exact T rex toy on my shelf... Love it!
Love the interaction between you and your wife. 27 years of marriage and 3 young men to show for it. Well done Brad and thank you and your boys for yalls service.
Best video ever. Christopher’s reaction to birthday gifts, the way he just tore into them, just priceless, to your wedding venue. I can’t wait for the next one!
Nothing better in this world than hearing the happy laughter of a child.
Me being 19, I've lived here in Southern washington for 15 years. Love the forest and coast. Recognize alot of things in the video. My fam have a suburban. Things a beast.
Great to see you and Regina out enjoying adventures together. Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels!
Perfect timing, Beautiful trip, everyone looks to have survived the bugs and had beautiful weather, now we have forest fires and bad air, and still no rain. Love your video blogs Brad, your always down to earth and just a good person. Maybe you and the wife will renew your vows back where it all started.
Love Washington state and kids at that age are so much fun.
This is SO wholesome. Great work Brad, and thanks for sharing 👏👏
Omg that little guy pulling out the tissue from the gift bags is fantastic! Happy birthday, Christopher! 🎉
Such a great video...watching Chris with the presents was so fun. Having the opportunity to go back to the spot where you and your wife got married is priceless. I bet it was incredible to relive that memory and think of all thats happened since then.
27 years!! Congratulations Brad and Regina That's awesome!!! Beverly and I just had our 25th, you guys looked awesome in the wedding photo.!!!
Love love this family time !! ... and that cloud inversion :) WOW... the birthday joy on that boy's face was priceless. This might be your best video Brad... all the feels.
My mind was blown when I woke up to the clouds below! Thank you so much!
i love seeing people enjoy this beautiful state of ours!
"This is my wife's first big adventure" -> the best company for a long journey!
Bout my first Jeep Saturday. A Rubicon Gladiator with a manual transmission. Got $4000 off. The best part was the next day my wife and I took the tops off, and just drove around in the country. In 21 years of marriage, we had such an awesome day! It was truly an experience with the open air and just relaxing and taking in the sights. Love my Gladiator and what it’s capable of. Special moments!!
Awesome.. just awesome. So happy to see Regina with you Brad. So many special spots and memories. Thanks for the ride and looking forward to the rest of your trip.. Oh.. The Birthday Boy is priceless.. Josh you're a great Dad and team leader..All the Best to you all.
Love it man especially seeing the families out there! We’ve got two boys and this is making us really wanna get back out there and do some wheelin and camping!
This video had me with tears in my eyes. Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool video. It is awesome that you are able to do this with your wife. It's funny because we may have been stationed in that area at the same time. I was stationed at the submarine base from about 1987-1995. I did a tour on the USS Florida SSBN 728 Blue, and an instructor tour at Trident Training Facility Bangor. My Corpsman on the boat got the command to send myself and and another guy to EMT school at Bremerton Naval Hospital. He was the only HM we had, and he wanted some medical trained backup on the boat, so he sent a couple of submarine ETs to school! That training eventually parlayed itself into paramedic school and the current job I have as a professional fire fighter. If you ever get out here to Tennessee, let me know and I could show you around a bit. That was really cool to see that area again.
One of my favorite episodes yet! Loved seeing the kiddo join in and your wife.
I’ve been waiting for this series to post!! So excited to watch it and get inspired
What an amazing adventure! Glad you and Nate were able to have some family with you. Keep up the great work!
I watched this the day of my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. Thank you for such a beautiful video and showing people more into your life. Belated Congratulations to the both of you !
One of you're best videos! Thanks for sharing you're adventures with our family! Happy Trails!
Thx Trail Recon.
Bet it was great to visit some memorable locations. I'll be tuned in. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video, Brad! Great people and amazing vehicles!!! That Gladiator is cool! I live in Washington state and get to enjoy the scenery all the time!
Our rainforest is amazing, thanks for visiting. Port Angeles is a non-rainy city in the middle of the NW, but with all the benefits of the rain we get. You guys were breathing the cleanest oxygen on Earth!
So lucky to have this as our backyard. I so enjoyed riding along with your visit. Thanks Brad for all the great videos.
So glad you came to the beautiful PNW! I’ve wanted to go to Forest Hoh too before we move away.
You had a great host Nate!! 🤗
Fun adventure!! And your wife is beautiful! ❤️🐞
Hey, you guys were right here in my back yard ' Ocean Shores ' my house views the ocean on the 3rd beach entrance. So happy for you guys, bummed I didn't run into you.
Everything is beautiful!
Thanks a lot for sharing with us the real happiness.
Love your channel. This is my favorite so far. Brings back many memories when I was stationed in Ft. Lewis. One day I’ll plan on doing what you do on your channel. Keep the videos coming!!!
Yeah this is what I’m talking about!! Appreciate you sharing your adventure, this is what I love to do being out in nature.I’ll be following for more happy camping
Awesome trip guys reaction with Christopher was priceless
Congratulations on 27 years plus Happy Birthday to little Nate!! Washington is awesome and great video all of you.
Thanks so much!!
Yes that was priceless the little boy’s birthday super cool memories forever
Thanks for the great video Brad this one had what it's all about. Christopher tearing in to his presents made me smile.....thanks for sharing. Now you got me looking at maps of Washington. My grandmother lived in Oregon and I've explored that state but this was added to my to do list.
It's great to be out with friends, but even better with family! You've got to add Washington to your bucket list!
What a great video. The state of Washington looks Beautiful. I live for the beautiful views. Your wife reminds me of mine. We are blessed. Please keep traveling, don't stop!!!!
That meal was right out of the West African playbook. Looked delicious! Amazing how universal good food and good company are. Enjoy your journey.
Awesome video Brad!!! Beverlys sister lives up in that region.... Love the way your wife called your camper the " Thing " LOL LOL
I'm originally from Washington then lived in Oregon now live in Arizona so this was very special to watch!!! Made me home sick but love every minute of it. Thanks!
Nice experience with the nature, Brad thank you for share with us.
Amazing adventure brad ! Thank you for the epic videos
Thank you!
Welcome back I'm doing the same this summer finding Washington memories.
Awesome video as usual. Looked like a ton of fun. Thank you for sharing.
Loved his video as much as I loved the one with your son. Quality of the video is really top notch. It's like I'm watching a movie made by a sizeable production crew/staff. Keep these kinds of videos coming! Oh, and loved the birthday present bit too. :)
I think someone needs to teach that kid some “leave no trace” principles.
Just kidding. That was a great birthday for the little guy!
Nice job SoCalX with the Filipino dish!!!
Faboulous journey, so nice to see the young man along and being educated in life skills and adventure.
I love the hoh. My grandparents have land along the hoh River. They have a cabin now, haven't been there in about 20 years, maybe more. Lots a good childhood memories made there
The BEST thing about camping, whether tent, in camper, backpacking or otherwise is waking up, making and sipping COFFEE! I like your wok-thing. This summer I did buy the little red fire, didn’t know until I saw these vids that you are supposed to turn the lid over and set it on top. I love it because it is manageable and have a little 5lb tank to go with it and/to my outdoor cook stove.
Great vid 🥳 Love this adventure. Can’t wait for next leg 👋🇸🇪
I grew up in Snoqualmie and never made it out to the Peninsula for camping. Now that I’m in Utah I’ve sort of forgotten how magical it is up there. A grip back home is much needed
Absolutely loved this and your next day's adventures! I'll be showing both to the love of my life. She loves camping but is a bit fearful of getting too far away from the pavement. I think Regina's attitude will calm her fears, at least a bit. Thanks again, This is truly becoming family friendly. I do have you beat a bit; SWMBO and I have been married for 48 years. Oh, please make it over to eastern WA and northern ID, and western MT. The folks here will show you a good time. Dale
Love the video... Thanks very much.
I appreciate that you did not try and hide the homeless encampments that have taken over Seattle. Many are still in denial that they exist.
Brad, thanks for sharing. My wife and I got married last year, we planned it at the same venue. Covid changed those plans and we had to relocate the wedding, but it is a very beautiful spot. Showed the video to my wife and it brought a tear to her eye. Looking forward to the next video!
Looks like an amazing trip! Glad you guys had fun.
Great to see some familiar scenery. Welcome to Washington, Brad, and to your wife. My co-worker was married at the same place.
The birthday surprise was my favorite part too. 😊
Welcome to Washington State love this channel thank you sir for your service
Thanks for showing the beauty of my home state also I saw you guys rolling down the highway didn't think of it much at the time that it could have been you, I was like man I want one of those that looks like fun.
Beautiful country. Never been that far West or North in the U.S. Thanks for sharing. WOW!!
After having just gotten home from a 5 week roadtrip to the Pacific Northwest and to the Olympic National forest in our truck camper it's neat to see your video of your trip! What a cool meet up you all had! It's a beautiful part of the country and I hope my video's do it as much justice as yours! Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing your travel thru the N.W. I am from Issaquah but now reside in Redmond Oregon. It's great to see my back yard I played in for 45yrs. It was also kool for you to share your wedding spot. I travel up to Washington and play for 6 weeks every spring. Thanks Again . Around Bend Oregon out on 2 wheels.
Glad you enjoyed our trip through the PNW. We have lots of great memories from there.
So glad to see you in my stomping grounds!!! Transplant from colder regions, I moved here 27 years ago (when I got married as well), and never left. Enjoy the BDR Land Viking!
Thank you for your service
Brad I am so jealous, I also was stationed at Ft Lewis back in the early 80’s and fell in love with Washington State.. Happy you are enjoying the trip. Even hiked up Mt Rainer.
Wow outstanding views for sure! And the food looks great, just don’t get any better cooking outdoors and the scenery yeah happy camping

Amazing you had such great weather in the Rain Forrest - that was a rare moment. I love La Push on Tribal lands right at the ocean. Old growth forrest right up to the Pacific Ocean - a very powerful spot.

I guess I'm a local, I recognized the Rocky Brook Road and Spencer Creek. Thanks for sharing , cool to see my backyard in your videos.
Great to see you up in the PNW - love Seattle, such a cool town. Look forward to some dirt adventures!
Very cool stop in Poulsbo! Wonderful you included that clip, and congratulations!
Loved the show and got a real kick out of watching the little boy Christopher, and his gifts, it's clear he is following after his father's footsteps with a love for the country and camping. Brad, I'm happy to see you now have your wife with you on these trips. Brad, I only joined four months ago here on TrailRecon and E3 Overland and hope to join the crew after I have sold my home in San Marcos, ca. I plan on getting a Gladiator my self following you and Marco work on your jeeps by that Time I hope to have set my roots down for the last time in Northwest Montana in the town of Libby. Keep up the awesome work you do here and E3 Overland. God bless you and Regina your wife as well as Marco, look forward to seeing him. Semper Fi.
Thank you! I'm excited that Regena will be joining me on some more upcoming adventures. Thanks for being a member and excited for you and your upcoming adventure plans!
