Now that looks like fun!
It was!
Thanks Deb for always sacrificing to get the greatest shots!!
😂. That's funny!! I do what I can!
I love the content you guys capture in your videos. Very inspiring to go out and get lost in the hills.
Thank you! We are glad to be an inspiration!!
harrodsburg, Ky feller here, lots of driving beaches on OBX. but really want to gear up and start overlanding. 2008 tacoma offroad
Its a lot of fun for sure
Kentucky born and raised.
Us too!
Awesome! I just purchased a 2019 ZR2 Dusk Edition, been lurking offroad videos. May be my new hobby
Great that y’all share your adventures with us. It takes me there after a long day at work. And helps me forget about 😂
We are so glad that you like them! Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching!
Very much enjoyed your video and subscribed. Thanks for taking time to capture your adventure and sharing them.
Thank you so much for watching!
Great video. Really like seeing a full size pickup on the trails. Gets old seeing Jeeps Jeeps and more Jeeps. Makes me feel like I can get my F150 FX4 out there and ride some.
Thank you. It gets a little tight on Kelly sometimes but he makes it work!
Haha I don't doubt it but us full size guys like a little representation so we can show our wives and say "see, we could totally do that!" lol
Copy that!
Loving the videos! From Louisville here and we just stumbled on your videos from Facebook posts and were doing the same long weekend trips as you. Great to know trail conditions and pace. Keep it up!
Thanks for the comments! We may see you out on the trail!
@@CoddiwompleOverland hope so!
Found your channel last week and trying to get caught up. We live in the PNW. Have a 94 4Runner and a 87. We get out as much as we can. Your videos are very well put together, great content and superb narrative. Keep them coming. Have never been in those parts of the woods. Grew up in Colorado, Arizona, and the finger lakes region of UpstateNY.
Thank you so much for your awesome compliments!
Love the video, that looks like a great section of the trail. One of these days I got to do this.....keep up the good work !
Thanks! This section of Clear Creek was our favorite so far on the KAT.
Good videos on your channel. Very watchable & cool to see some of the local places (I'm near Nashville). Subscribed :)
Thanks for the awesome compliment! And we really appreciate the subscription!
The section north of Sampson, around fighting gap (last tight switchback) was impassible for us last night. 3-4 foot deep washed out ruts on left side of trail with not enough shoulder to avoid.
Good to know! Thanks for yhe update
Love the Senic approach
Thank you!
Awesome video 👍 that forest looks awesome 💯
Thanks for the compliment! It is certainly an awesome place to explore!
Cool video. Thanks
Thanks! And thank you for watching!
@@CoddiwompleOverland I am planning on building an overlander, looking at the Gladiator Rubicon. Probably going to wait until the end of the year but definitely like that gladiator.
New to New Jeeps, old skool guy. Had a 77 CJ5 and a 69 Jeepster Commando. Looking to get back to the jeep life.
Got to love those old school Jeeps but you are right, the Gladiators are awesome. We would like to do a Gladiator build in the future too!
Top notch as always!
Thanks! We appreciate it!!
I would love to ride with you all some day! Thanks for the videos
Thanks for watching. We are going to LBL for our next trip June 30-July 4 if you are interested
@@CoddiwompleOverland thanks for the invite. All my stuff (tires and lift). Are on back order until late June. I hope to have my Tacoma ready by late July.
@@CoddiwompleOverland What's the LBL?
Land between the lakes it is in Western Ky.
I like this video and this trail. It was kinda relaxing for me. 👍
Thanks! Glad you liked it
@@CoddiwompleOverland you're welcome! Greetings from Croatia! 🙋🏻♂️
Well we are now international! Thank you!!!
Howdy from Edgewood New Mexico. Great video. Looking forward to seeing kentucky in the spring. Looking to move out there. Perhaps around danville. Want soil, water and the opportunity to start a small farm .
Hello, thanks for the compliment! Kentucky is a pretty cool place. We are looking for to seeing your part of the world as we are doing a 3 week trip out that way late summer of 21. Thanks for reaching out and when you get here, we will show you around some!
That's cool I live around 30 to 40 mins from pound
Great area.
Really love these videos! Trying to find where you all began the trial in this video. Wanting to hit this part of the KAT. Is there anyway I could get these coordinates from Gaia? Thanks guys.
It is called 16 creeks. I'm not at my computer for cords. If you need them quickly you can go to our Patreon page.
This trail is named by locals as the "16 creeks" trail. many of the local folks hope to keep it there little secret..lol. dont think its going to remain that way much longer. There is alot more riding in that area as well.
It is definitely an awesome area.
I really do enjoy your videos. Nice to see what’s around my back yard so to speak. I’m looking at incorporating a part of the KAT to do put together a modified Bourbon Trail. Any off road suggestions up closer to the distilleries?
Thank you! I wish I could help but I'm not familiar with the distillery area.
Awesome video. ? How many miles have you got on the Aussie locker?
A little over 35,000
We love these videos. We live in the region (East Tennessee) and recently got an off-road vehicle. How should we go about getting on those trails?
Thank you. Pretty much all of the routes that we do are public roads for licensed vehicles.
Great video, really enjoyed it. Just went on a couple of the DBBB and had a blast. Where do you find your maps because we struggled with that & at times became frustrated trying to figure out where we needed to go(neither vehicle had a Garmin or similar device just phones)
Thanks! We are glad you liked it and glad you had a good trip. We downloaded the .gpx file for the DBBB and imported it into Gaia maps.
Sent you folks a message on Instagram. Have a couple questions on this one and we’ll be coming in from a long way off. Thanks in advance for any assist you can help with. 👍
I'm working today. I seen your post but just haven't had a chance to respond.
@@CoddiwompleOverland No sweat and thanks!
I’m really enjoying your videos! I hope to do this stretch this Summer. Are there KAT maps that show these routes or did y’all map them out yourself?
Thanks! You can find the map on the Kentucky Adventure Tour FB page.
Great channel I just discovered your channel last week and your content is fantastic. There should be some way that we can clone Deb she is amazing.
I've found what might be the trail you're on. Is the Clear Creek track marked in the KAT gpx or was it an alternate route you guys took?
Glad you found the channel! Thank you for the awesome compliments! You are absolutely 💯 correct that Deb is amazing!!!! However, I'm not sure the world could handle 2 of her..🤣. Clear Creek is part of the KAT main route just west of Middlesboro. Thanks for watching.
@@CoddiwompleOverland Thank you. Stay safe out there.
This is epic! Are camping spots readily available in this area?
There are several spots along clear creek
Awesome video! We are thinking about coming down to run some of the KAT and this section looks awesome. Did you stay on the KAT Main 3 4x4 track? And any chance you would know the approximate location of where day 2 started?
We did stay on main 3 4x4. Our day 2 started in Clear Creek. 36.67869 -83.77336.
We are heading out for the KAT in October. How many miles do you travel in a day? We have 3 jeeps that are pretty capable and experienced drives. Just trying to get a rough feel for the distance we can travel in a day. Thanks!
We usually get around 100 miles a day but we take our time. We film and sight see a lot. We also don't get in a hurry about leaving camp and set camp up atound 5. So it all depends on how long you want your driving days to be and how often you want to stop. Hope this help.... Have fun and be safe!
Can you specify what section you did? You may have said but I missed it.
Jelico to Pound. Not sure of the section number
first of all that canopy is awesome! love it! My friend and I run Clear creek alot! its semi local for us only being about an hour from home. We hit it several times a year! If your back in the area of seky hit me up on instagram!
Thanks! The canopy is from Overland Vehicle Systems. It is incredible and even better is about half the cost of comparable ones. Clear Creek was awesome! Definitely one of our favorites. We will try to look you up for sure!
Did the Ram end up with some pinstriping down the sides lol? I'm from Ohio, took my F250 to Colorado in August, now I'm looking at some places closer to home that will fit my truck. Taking it to Utah next year, but wanna get in some trails before then, that's still a long ways away lol.
We all ended up with some pinstripes on this trip
@@CoddiwompleOverland I kinda figured lol. Some parts definitely looked pretty narrow.
Yes they were!
Is this video East or West of Jellico? Thanks
East of Jelico.
If I wanted to do just this section of the trail, where would it start and end? I have an old group of military guys that would probably enjoy this section with a night of camping. From the looks of it, it's not too technical and wouldn't tear up our vehicles.
You would start at Jelico and end at Middlesboro. Have fun and be safe
Are there spots to camp along the trail? I'm wanting to go out for a few days and camp out of the jeep without having to stay in a town or campground.
Yes there are a few dispersed sites along this section.
what was this trail originally a logging road?
?
No, it has been an old county road . There are actually old house locations along it. Not much left but you van tell that houses and other structures once stood at these locations
Did you guys do the hard sections or just the main routes?
We just did the main route. We plan on doing the hard sections along with the new addition in the near future.
@@CoddiwompleOverland Awesome! Your videos have been the best videos I have found on the KAT. If you ever decide to head up to Michigan for some overlanding I can tell you all the good spots to go.
Thank you! Sounds like a plan on Michigan. We want get up that way for sure
Can you send a link for a map of the trails yall took
You can find all our tracks on our Patreon. Thanks for watching.

I have to tell you I have been hooked on your videos. A friend of mine and me have done a few off roading videos on my channel with his jeep. I have watched almost all of yours. If you want to check out our trips thus for I have a Jeep playlist where we have been so far. Keep up the awsome work.
Thank you for the incredible compliment! We will definitely check yours out.
Coddiwomple Overland we are located in Middle Tennessee Nashville area. So not far from you.
I want to do this pretty bad. From Illinois with a Jeep
We loved this section
It didn't look like the other Jeep or Ram had a lift on them. Is a life absolutely necessary? We have a stock Tacoma Off Road and deciding if it could make it through.
The Jeep was stock. The Ram is a Power Wagon which has a factory lift. You should be fine in your stock Tacoma. Have fun and be safe!
@@CoddiwompleOverland Good to know. we're going to try to find some others to go. Great vids. Thanks for your hard work on them. Cheers.
Thanks!
Just did this section today in a mostly stock (not lifted) TRD OR. You’re definitely going to want skid plates for clear creek. Otherwise doable. Just smacked the underside, a lot.
I agree on the skid plates!
Can you do this on a side by side ?
No, it must be a licensed vehicle.
What radios are ya using, CB, FRMS, GRMS?
Tom we use HAM or FRS
@@CoddiwompleOverland good deal. I plan on making a run up there sometime latter in the year and was trying to figure out if i wanted to use grms or frs
Great video! I've got a stock 2020 Willys Jeep Wrangler. What are the minimum upgrades I'd need to do this trip? Thanks for your opinion.
You could do this trip with your rig in stock for but you probably will rub the bottom some.
food to me taste better out in the bush
It does to us too!
