    I saw one of those Toyota "Hummers" back in '96 when I was in the Marine Corps stationed at Camp Fuji, Japan. The Japanese Self Defense Force came out to our base to show us some of their toys.

    Overland West is my favorite event to film because I get to go camping at the expo!!! I wish I could camp at SHOT show lol.

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 6 lety

      mixflip haha. The expos have become one of my favorite trips. Can’t wait for the next West! Dumb question - what’s “SHOT show”?

    • @mixflip
      @mixflip Před 6 lety +2

      Jason Koertge it stands for the shooting hunting and outdoor trade show. Its held in Las Vegas every January. It's the biggest firearms related trade show in America. It's epic!

    @JasonKoertge, next time you're in Utah you should check out the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum. They have a MegaCruiser and a giant collection of vintage Toyota Trucks.

    We here 2nd breakfast since we started homeschooling than we ever did before we started homeschooling. I literally laughed out loud as my wife looked at my strangely. I had to explain and she also LOL. Another great video.

  • @Battlelabstudio
    @Battlelabstudio Před 7 lety

    You would definitely regret trading you 4Runner for a Tacoma. I previously had an FJ. I regret letting it go. I had a 2016 Tacoma. Loved it. Until I had to get me, the wife and two kids in it. It was just too cramped on the inside. So, I sold it and got a 2017 4Runner, since they aren't making the FJ any longer. I don't like buying used cars otherwise, I would have bought another FJ. Love the 4Runner.

      Jason Koertge oh man the fam really loves the Turtleback... Everywhere we go people take pictures of it and wanna know everything about it. Haven't gone anywhere far yet but we have taken it to Jemez Springs and Pecos Mora campground... I was having so much fun I forgot to take out my cameras and record lol

  • @TheKPDX
    @TheKPDX Před 7 lety

    Very enjoyable, as always! If you are in Utah next year, consider coming up to the Northwest Overland Rally, typically mid June in Plains, WA (just outside Leavenworth). It's a mini-version of Expo West-very personal & enjoyable. I hope you make it as I would love to meet you and than you in person for your entertaining videos. Your editing really does set you apart. I love watching them with my family!

  • @BrandonSteili
    @BrandonSteili Před 7 lety

    At 8:46 -- what was it about the Tacoma that had you considering selling the 4runner? What had they done to the truck?

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety +1

      That's the Expedition Overland guys. Just google them - Pretty sure they have a good breakdown on that truck. That habitat - they have it all decked out. It basically flips over the back of the truck and there is a queen size bed plus standing room in the back of the truck bed. I just picture a kitchen/fridge/drawer slide on one side of the bed - it would be a sweet 1-2 person setup!

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety +1

      Damian Morgan thanks man! I know. I actually made it a point years ago whenever I went to conferences to either know exactly what I want or take good notes on what I found that I bought I needed! But never buy! That practice will save you thousands my friend! Haha

  • @r6TrdSlow
    @r6TrdSlow Před 7 lety +2

    Great video! Keep up the great editing man. I think the quick pans and quick captions are a good way to go with this. Keeps the video a good length and most people can still read quick enough to get the gist of what was said if they can't read the whole thing that fast. Here's to watching this channel really grow in subscribers and to more adventures!

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety

      Thanks Robert! That's just it. If I were to slow it all down, the video would be longer and the flow would be all off. It would turn from exciting to boring. I always find myself pausing and rewinding Casey Neistat's videos. But if he were to let it sit for 5 minutes so everyone could read whatever he's got on there that isn't really that important anyway, the whole vibe would be out the window!

  • @CannabisTrippin
    @CannabisTrippin Před 7 lety +2

    I'm about that Tacoma life
    I'd stay away from the 16-17 Tacoma wait for the 18-19s to see if the problems with 16-17 are sorted out

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety

      SilverTRDtaco07 SliverStorm really? What sort of issues are they having?

    • @CannabisTrippin
      @CannabisTrippin Před 7 lety +1

      It's a gamble to buy one with the rear diff recall
      And the transmissions have their problems nothing overly serious tho but I would think the 2018 Tacomas will have everything sorted out

    • @snazari1994
      @snazari1994 Před 7 lety +1

      SilverTRDtaco07 SliverStorm yeah I'd also say wait for 18-19 tacoma.

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety

      SilverTRDtaco07 SliverStorm wow. Good to know! TBH, I'm really not planning on doing anything different until one of my kids is old enough to drive the 4runner. Super happy with it! Just really love that habitat!

    • @CannabisTrippin
      @CannabisTrippin Před 7 lety +1

      Jason Koertge i myself would love to get one of those habitats also but A ) I don't think they sell them in canada and B ) they sell them for tooooo much money

  • @kellyfleming251

    How to you like the Turtle Back trailer? I've been looking and researching for something similar. I'm looking for a off-road trailer or caravan that is durable and family friendly.

  • @jimmypics1570
    @jimmypics1570 Před 7 lety +5

    Question: Why do you always pan so fast why do you put up your CAPTIONS DURING THE VIDEO FOR JUST A SPLIT SECOND??? It's a little annoying having to pause the tape and go back just to try and read what you put up. It's also a little annoying pausing while you're panning just to see what you're trying to show us. Thanks

    • @John-hw3ds
      @John-hw3ds Před 7 lety +2

      Jimmy Pics It's an annoying CZcamsr thing. He is not the only one.

    • @SwellRunner

    • @mattgilly1924
      @mattgilly1924 Před 7 lety +2

      I agree on the captions as I have had to move the video back to catch the captions many, many times.

    • @recoblade1465
      @recoblade1465 Před 6 lety +1

      Its not panning its called a transition and his are pretty cool a lot better than just cutting from scene to another

  • @Feintgames
    @Feintgames Před 7 lety +6

    Don't know what you use to edit, but if it's Premiere, once you're done with an edit, export the dialog, bring it into Audition, normalize it, remove the noise, then bring it back into Premiere and balance that with your music. Right now, the music is almost maxed and the dialog is much lower which means your viewers (like me) have to constantly adjust the audio level when the music comes in like a bomb. Hope this helps. Nice editing otherwise.

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety +2

      Feint thanks! I use final cut. The audio music actually isn't maxed. It's down -4 points. And a lot of the dialogue was brought up. I'll be honest, I spent a little time normalizing it but not enough! I'm still figuring it out.

    • @Ruston_smith
      @Ruston_smith Před 7 lety +2

      Jason Koertge I have the same problem apparently lol

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety

      Overlanding USA it's all good! Still trying to find a good all-around workflow to make sure the entire process is high quality. Actually, after this trip, I STOPPED putting the mic on manual and just put it back to auto. I know that's not what the pros do, but I seriously don't have time to be checking the footage for good audio, then reshooting if it's not right. Haha.

    • @Feintgames
      @Feintgames Před 7 lety +1

      No worries. I still enjoy the series. I shoot and edit for a living so I hear ya when it comes to trying to get the best process down. There's always a balance between effort and time.

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety

      Feint I appreciate it! Sometimes I don't notice it until I show the kids on the tv. Haha. By that time it's too late! I've gotten better - but I'll keep working on it! A year from now, it'll probably all be perfect! Haha. It's all about muscle memory. Getting to a point where it's all instinct.

  • @JeepN95YJ
    @JeepN95YJ Před 7 lety +2

    I gave the video a thumbs down because of the title. I watched within the first few minutes it was online. Not sure if you had click bait on it originally. I was excited for you and was let down after watching. It is possible your title was cut short on the platform I use to watch CZcams (Fioptics) and I missed it.
    I normally enjoy your videos.

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety

      Jerry Blair Ah man! Yea it was on there from the beginning. Sorry man! So you're saying you didn't like it since I didn't buy something? I mean, nothing else changed - still the same kinda stuff!

    • @JeepN95YJ
      @JeepN95YJ Před 7 lety +1

      Jason Koertge I love watching your vids. I dislike click bait.
      I was interested in your thoughts on the expo. I am curious what you were holding back regarding the classes. I find your enthusiasm entertaining.
      I didn't care that you didn't buy anything. I didn't like that you said you did. I obviously missed the click bait comment. That is on me. I know the perceived reasons for it. I'm sure there is some validity. But for a 49 yo guy I don't care for it.

    • @JeepN95YJ
      @JeepN95YJ Před 7 lety

      Jason Koertge I removed the thumbs down.

    • @SwellRunner
      @SwellRunner  Před 7 lety

      Jerry Blair man. Well sorry! Just messin around a little. Appreciate you watching though!! I only held back in commentary in the video regarding the class because I didn't feel it was well planned or very useful information. However, I'm always careful before I announce to the world a negative opinion. Really wouldn't want to hurt anyone because I had a negative opinion!

    • @JeepN95YJ
      @JeepN95YJ Před 7 lety +1

      Jason Koertge I assumed that is why you held back. I'm always curious to whether or not these classes are worth it or is the experience of expo the real value. The people you meet and get to know, etc. Maybe I'll run in to you at expo east this year. That would be fun,
