I lived and worked in Carson City for a few years. The guy I worked for had a small airfield that backed up against BLM land - Wild Mustangs were a pretty regular sight - one that never got old. Of course when the occasional small plane or ultralight few in, if they were hanging out, they'd scatter, sometimes for days, sometimes just few an hour or two. They are a skittish lot.
I live in NV and more times then not I see them when off roading. That said it NEVER gets old. Every time I want to grab the trusty Winchester, a bag of beans, and head further down the trail.
You probably know this, but there's a herd of them that roam the Sacramento Mountains. One time at the family cabin in Cloudcroft about 20 of them ran right past us as we sat on the deck and watched. Really awesome to see.
Just finished that book, a truly great read. If you recall, along the lines of Cynthia Ann Parker's story in that book, the mention of Herman Lehman who was also captured by the Indians. His great grand daughter and I went to the same high school just north of the the San Antonio Texas area.
I've been watching your channel since your first trip to Alaska and I still get a shiver up my spine when I hear the intro and outro music. Awesome! Well done bro!
A few Sundays back, we had a bald eagle flying at church. That is a rare sight here in northeast Louisiana. We usually have a few pair that nest near me. You seldom see them though.
I love when you tell the stories of long ago as you travel over the land and I love how it reflects your love for the wild west. Beautiful landscapes and thundering horses, a majestice eagle and my jaw was on the ground. Wow ! What a thrilling moment you shared. Thank you !
You had me at Lonesome Dove! I too just listened for 37 hours the audiobook of Lonesome Dove and have always felt connected and thought of the journey when I travel in the west. The scenery, the wild mustangs, and the bald eagle made for a wonderful video in the snow. I keep wanting to hear Gus’s ramblings around a fire at the end of a day of traveling. To be tough like McCall and frisky as McCrae could be my life goal. 😄
That was great and brave , I think being remote, with the snow drifts etc, lovely video thanks for sharing from Steve near Chester England 🏴 where the Roman's once lived.
We have wild horses up in the High Country they are called Brumbys. And we have the largest population of Wild Camels in the world. Alot are caught and exported to the Middle East. They are decadent from the Afghan camel trains that took supplies all over the outback.
Kevin, you are the single reason that I caught the adventure bug! My little xB can’t go where you do, but it’s got me exploring our glorious National Parks and getting just far enough into BLM to feel alone. I can’t thank you enough for your content! Always a great way to unwind after a very stressful day. Safe travels!!!! -Brandon
Kevin, what a great video to watch. Thank you. I see Eagles often up here and every time I think of this amazing Country. Wild Horses are in the lower part of TRNP and they are awesome to see. Take care and hope the family is doing well!
I totally concur with your take on how lucky we are to live where and when we do. On our worst day our quality of life is better than 99% of humans over history.
You seem a little pumped at the end there. I would be too, actually. Can't stop grinning at that awesome sight. I've seen a couple things in the wild that've left me awestruck, those mustangs would be another.
For those shots you take of you driving off into the distance, try using the drone and hover in place aimed at where you’re going. Then after you’ve taken the footage, bring it back to you with the app instead of driving or walking back to retrieve the camera.
Love the wild mustangs of New Mexico, they’ll run through camp at night with their teeth chomping. I almost got stuck in snow, still learning driving in deep snow. Thought 4lo was the way to go but 4Hi with the mud setting on my 4runner got me out.
@@LifestyleOverland all around the border of the Mescalero reservation. Especially on the reservation if you can get permission.. but there are small herds of mustangs all through the New Mexico mountains. North and south. There are wild horse territories around New Mexico, I have seen them mostly around the reservations though.
Kevin, I always get at least one good idea from watching your videos. You had a good one on this video too. Was it your cooking? Nope. Was it your expert driving technique? Nope. Was it your spectacular videography or commentary? Nope and nope. It was the way you bagged your tent ladder! I struggle with mine every time and never thought to hang it and bag it like an aluminum pillow 😆 Thanks for that, great tip and a great video too 👍🏻
I noticed you dropped air pressure in your tires at one point. What is the reasoning - traction or smoothing out the ride on heavy gravel etc. What are your indicators for making the change?
Just found your channel and LOVE it. One question I have, when you tow your trailer do you leave it and explore or is it with you at all times? If you leave it at a site, have you ever had any trouble with vandalism/theft? Im looking into building a trailer at the moment.
I’m surprise that the wild horses are so skittish in Nevada we have them in Oregon and also in Idaho and I’ve been able to walk up within 100 yards of them
The ones on the eastern end of Nevada don’t typically encounter that many people. The herds on the western side of the state near Reno and Carson City are not skittish at all
I started following your channel few months ago and watching multiple episodes I was fascinated and it influenced me to purchase a Toyota 4 runner TRD off Road. But I started falling off because it was the same show over and over. I wanted to see a little more reality of your family and less of the camping and cooking or making coffee. Kevin god bless you and your family especially with the new edition but I would love to see you adding more then just camping and the off-road. I still find your channel fascinating Kevin,
@@LifestyleOverland there are very few wild horse bands left in North America. The horses you see now are feral. Descendants (proven by dna) of cavalry horses released in the 1800s. Yes. They are wild. But they are not the same. The Steens band is an example of a true wild horse band.

Have you ever seen mustangs in the wild west?
Not yet!!!
Yes. It never gets old!

Great storytelling, camera work and editing! Loved it!
Wow !!! Outstanding footage Kevin, timing is everything. 👌💯
Gus and Call are the Best characters in a book ever!!!
They named that chemistry! It's even better listening to it out here.
Wild man!!!!
A bald eagle and the mustangs ...
one of a kind!
God is really good to you!
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and don’t think I’ve ever commented. But, of the ones I’ve seen, this is one of the best. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I really love the way you link your exploration with history and learning. Must be the homeschooler in you!
"Empire of the summer moon" is also another really good western read. Talks about the rise of the Comanches and the Parker family.
Just finished that book, a truly great read. If you recall, along the lines of Cynthia Ann Parker's story in that book, the mention of Herman Lehman who was also captured by the Indians. His great grand daughter and I went to the same high school just north of the the San Antonio Texas area.
Nice! An eagle and mustangs! FREEDOM!
Awesome video, the wild horses are amazing!
This solo trip couldn’t have ended any better! Thanks again for taking us on your adventures!
What a wonderful life you and your family live. You answer to nobody and go where you please, you are an inspiration to me.
Excellent, the horses, antelope, badger, snow; yes: epic; your vehicle goes thru the snow almost like a Scout 😎😎⭐️⭐️🤩🤩❄️❄️❄️🥶
It was certainly one for the books. Ol' Silver takes to the snow like a fish takes to the water. Very impressed with the Mickey Thompsons out here.
@@LifestyleOverland I used Dunlop radial rovers on my 72 Scout, they were excellent in snow, and mud
Fantastic, outstanding, amazing and emotional. Thank you
Wow! Oh my gosh! Wild mustangs AND a bald eagle! You must be doing something right.
Right?! That eagle was way out of place! Had bands on its legs too.
I've been watching your channel since your first trip to Alaska and I still get a shiver up my spine when I hear the intro and outro music. Awesome! Well done bro!
Snow adventures are among my favorites. I only managed to get one in this winter, but it was worth it!
A few Sundays back, we had a bald eagle flying at church. That is a rare sight here in northeast Louisiana. We usually have a few pair that nest near me. You seldom see them though.
What an awesome end to this adventure... can't wait to see where you go next!
iguyiiuyo
Quite the punctuation mark on a spectacular adventure! Can't wait to show you more of this place... in person!
@@LifestyleOverland It sure was! Yeah, I’d like to be able to click yes to Utah on the survey, next time.

I think those are wild Bronco's 🤘🏻😉🤘🏻
Wow. Just wow.
WOW!! love your channel Kevin, so many awesome videos 💯💯
Thanks for the video. I love seeing wild mustangs.
OMG the wild horses and the eagle it was epic thank u for the adventure .
Thanks for riding along!

That's awesome!!
This might be my favorite episode from y’all.
Great episode. Loved the wild mustangs.
Loved seeing the horses!

Love the editing and flow of your videos, Hope mine are that good someday!! The Mustangs were great!
Whoa nelly, that was awesome!
Cameras do not do bald eagles justice when they are on the ground like that, they are just MASSIVE animals.
Beautiful!
Sorry I had to miss the premiere do to zoning board meeting. Great shots of those horses at the end! Tell the family hi!
No worries! Thanks for circling back!
Absolutely unbelievable! The wildlife in this one is amazing. Nice work on this one ❤
Thank you very much!
Awesome badger and wild horses. I hope to see them too.
I totally concur with your take on how lucky we are to live where and when we do. On our worst day our quality of life is better than 99% of humans over history.
Hey the weather sounds like the last 24 to 36 hours in Portland Oregon welcome to the West Coast
You seem a little pumped at the end there. I would be too, actually. Can't stop grinning at that awesome sight. I've seen a couple things in the wild that've left me awestruck, those mustangs would be another.
I've been up close with bald eagles in captivity a few times and it always blows my mind just how big those birds really are.
For those shots you take of you driving off into the distance, try using the drone and hover in place aimed at where you’re going. Then after you’ve taken the footage, bring it back to you with the app instead of driving or walking back to retrieve the camera.
Fantastic video!
Thank you for continuing to make great content
Food look delicious 🤤

Amazing!
Great video! Really enjoyed watching you explore our stomping grounds. Also it’s Ne-VAD-uh
Kombucha and queso....good thing your solo lol.

nice my friend
Great content
Beauty bud!!
Magical place for sure!

cool episode
I use rotel on just about every’s Mexican dish I make, It really is a good base.
I noticed you dropped air pressure in your tires at one point. What is the reasoning - traction or smoothing out the ride on heavy gravel etc. What are your indicators for making the change?
Beautiful! And, did I hear a u-joint squeaking?
I heard cold CV boots squeaking but it wouldn't surprise me if the u-joints are getting there.
yea mate...they are like the kaimanawa horses here in new zealand
3.2 MPG ?! wowza. I thought my 12 MPG in White Rim UT was bad lol
Just found your channel and LOVE it. One question I have, when you tow your trailer do you leave it and explore or is it with you at all times? If you leave it at a site, have you ever had any trouble with vandalism/theft? Im looking into building a trailer at the moment.
Gorgeous ☺️💕
Love the Nevada desert in snow!
Hi Ho Silver ❗️❗️❗️
Lovin the channel...been watching y'all for years....what are your thought on TRD PRO?
Hi Kevin, I have the same gas fire pit, do you have any problems with fat/food splashing on the fire pit rocks ?
Random question...how do you place your patches on your roof? Are they permanently up there?
They're Velcro backed but we also use straight pins stuck at various angles to ensure they stay there.
I’m surprise that the wild horses are so skittish in Nevada we have them in Oregon and also in Idaho and I’ve been able to walk up within 100 yards of them

Wish I was with you.
That's such a guy meal. 😄 Also, when you started eating, I absolutely tasted it.
FYI its Nev-add-a, not Nev-odd-a

Do you carry chains? I don't believe i have ever seen you every use them or discuss them.
I got some recently but haven't needed them yet 👍
Just an fyi, there are no true mustangs in Nevada. The horses you saw are feral.
Was waiting for this comment 🤣
What exactly is a true mustang though?
