- This video was original filmed as a 3 part adventure in 2021 and has been remastered into this single full length movie. Death Valley National Park is the largest National Park in the lower 48 states and is filled with a rich history, miles of easy and technical trails and plenty of old mines, cabins and ghost towns to explore. In this first day of our adventure we set off to visit and explore some popular mines, put our Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators to the test on the Defense Mine trail, encountered a few challenges along the way and eat some great food at camp. #deathvalley #overlanding #adventure
In the second leg of our Death Valley National Park overland adventure, we find ourselves in search of some abandoned cabins and mines in the mountains and in the low desert. We'll put our Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators to the test on the Lippencott road, pass by Tea Kettle Junction, stop at the Race Track, encountered a few challenges along the way and eat some great food at camp. #deathvalley #overlanding #adventure
On the 3rd leg of our Death Valley adventure we are in search of an old ghost town, continue to explore some technical and scenic trails, camp in an old abandoned cabin and cook up some delicious food at camp.

This video was original filmed as a 3 part adventure in 2021 and has been remastered into this single full length movie. I plan on doing longer format videos in 2023 and would love to hear your thoughts on longer videos like this one. Thanks for watching, Brad
I love longer videos, and remastering previous episodes makes the channel and individual adventures easier to watch as we don't have to search through everything else. I'd recommend adding video chapters for each day, that way if you click off part way through a long video it's easier to pick up where you left off (CZcams sometimes restarts a video you were part way through)
Hope that is helpful
Perfect, thank you for the feedback!
@@TrailRecon and thank you for the entertainment!
Yes!
Damn, I was hoping this was a recent trip. Road conditions are still pretty bad in the park..
I remember watching these videos, it works well as one full length movie. Please remake more of these, it feels like watching it for the first time. I really enjoyed this. Thanks Brad.
Thanks for the clean language and content Brad!
Always family friendly here on TrailRecon!
Brad the second mine you visited is chalk full of history. That stone structure was the general store. The mine was a copper mine, that I believe was called Copper bottom and was the first mine in the United States to use Pneumatic tools. A miner who lived in look out city once raped an Timbisha Shoshone woman. The men of the tribe sought for the miner and the town helped him escape down to the bottom of the mine. The result was several miners lost their lives in the retaliation and a group of soldiers from fort Tejon were called to live in Panamint for a short time to keep the peace. There are also some well known gunfights that happened in look out city. Pretty rugged place. (By the way Brad heard a great thought you would appreciate. "Save one life and your a Hero, save many lives and your just a medic" thank you again for your service)
great video, been there many times, everywhere you enjoyed, that tie rod joint failure dosent seem right, upgrade the upgrade, epic times with great friends, as good as it gets.
I always loved the stories of Death Valley days on tv
I knew Death Valley in the 70's. Drive to Panamint mine and Manson's bus was still at the ranch. Defense mine and many more were great in the 70's. You do a great job with the videos.
I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎🌎
What a awesome trip. So jealous.
As a kid we camped out there. One night we went to sleep with a full camp. That night the wind came in and took out our tent and we jumped into our 1972 VW camper, safe and sound. In the morning there was a mostly empty camp ground. The next day was great. I wish I had more of those memories.
Great video. I wish I would have a trip like that.
Yes, I love these long videos
Watch out for those burros... We had fixings for breakfast burritos and other cold foods in an ice chest. Sausage, eggs, cheese, salsa, and cold foods. We thought it would be safe...... that night they came into camp, opened up the chest and ate everything in that ice chest. Needless to say, we only had granola bars to eat that morning.
Great area to explore!!
I should have read the whole title. The entire time it felt familiar. Half way in it finally hit me that I had seen this. That flyover (Airpower!) gave it away 😂
Long videos are great!
Oh sweet perfect timing couldn’t remember this video going to be heading out finally 3 days alone maybe 4 lol I so need it, always great stuff, as always be safe
Couldn't help but notice you were wearing a USN hat. I am a Vietnam Vet and served aboard the USS Bausell DD-845. Love your video's and adventures, keep up the great videos.
Absolutely brilliant movie. This was really special, love seeing the Patriots doing the rugged stuff, they just go anywhere there tow rig can take them, brilliant.❤😊
I've been very happy and surprised where I have been able to take this trailer offroad.
I also have an X1N, it’s is my 2 nd Patriot and I am very impressed by their ruggedness and practical design. I am based in Western Australia.
Awesome you guys and girl...thanks for keeping the dream alive...!
Awesomeness
Love the longer format! Especially the longer 2 - 3 - 4 day trips. Cause usually we can find part1 or part 3 but never all the parts at the same time!!
Love the music Brad, this was great to watch here in Canberra Australia
Great video! Glad I discovered this channel. I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos.
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
The Jetboil Base Camp Stove System! YA'LL ARE LIVIN LARGE!
great vid mr recon! loved the cookin
I’m loving Marco’s prep station, and gave me major ideas for our camper, and cooking on our adventures! Thanks! Great video, thanks for sharing! 🙂
Your video's are awesome Brad!! And Marco is the man! Very, very cool video!!
I don't normally watch videos this long but this pulled me in for every minute
Everything about this video is amazing, Marco's cooking sounds so good.. Thanks' for sharing. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man !!! I just want to eat some of Marcos good cooking !!! What a great group.
You do such a great job with the videos, thank you this was a great one
Good thing you mentioned it was previously aired, I was thinking “have I seen this before or am I losing my mind?”
Great remake of the 3-part adventure. This included everything. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Marco is the man. Fun trip
Brad you and Marco ought to be required watching on Thanksgiving thanks for all the memories wish I was there !!!!
Very awesome wish I could do it someday
Great video, detailed explanation is good, it's a place I want to go
great video. loved seeing those mines!
I’ve watched this video several times. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
that was really cool to watch i need to go to those places
You should di some more beach camping videos they are my favorite.
It's funny how much parts of Death Valley looks like the Pony Express trail through the Tooele Utah desert going into Navada. I love watching your adventures.
You finally did a video on my backyard! Loved it!
Great video. I love DV. Had my bike down Lippencott and over Hunter mountain where we got buzzed by fighter jets. You are correct the race track is a must. Thanks for sharing
this is a very very good vehicle for offroading, safety and apocalypic times...
This 🤔 video was awesome 👌 Thanks for sharing guys
So we'll produced. I can watch these all day. Not into camping anymore but fun to participate vicariously.
Right on, thank you so much!
🛻🚙That's awesome adventured.
Such an awesome video.. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this longer video format! Especially with the video sections listed. Easy to pause and get right back in!
Thank you! Working on more long format and will be sure to include chapters.
You're a great story teller...thank you
We actually stayed in Panamint Springs on a MC ride before we headed across Death Valley about 15 years ago.
I will probably watch whatever you do. Enjoy your vids.
Something about the moon in the desert that is just different. Great video.
Like most people I have preferences on food, BUT! I would try anything Marco-put in front of me. Awesome!
Short videos for gear intros and reviews are good. But the long form adventure videos are excellent!
Thanks for taking us on your adventures virtually lol Loved the video
Brad buddy I really enjoy your journeys. This is a dream that I’m making happen to do what you do at this moment. So far I’m enjoying your dreams come true .
1st time in the valley 1973.. last time 2021.. California exploring FOR EVER!
It's great to see a dedicated Chuck Wagon on the Trails (Marcos rig)🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😂😂😂👍👍🥂
Miles and miles of miles and miles!
Thanks for all the great video. I always feel like I'm right there with you guys.
Brings back memories of working a mining claim out of Elko Nevada.
You really do a good job with the editing and of just telling the story!
Wow. Just. Wow. 👍👍
another video with beautiful scenery and great content, nice job!
Interested in the outcome of Marco's steering and limp-mode issue. Thanks for the great video!
Great video Brad!
Love the longer videos!
Man I enjoyed this video, im n In. probably never get there so thanks Excellent job.
So glad to see you and Marko exploring together. Such a good team and combination.
Sorry Marco
Man I love Josh’s gladiator haven’t seen him in a while hope all is well
These Canyons are Full of Ghosts is a great book written by one of the last small miners in Death Valley. Complete with his encounter with the Barker Ranch temporary inhabitants in 1969.
I Enjoy watching your video
I so miss the Death Valley, thank you very much for posting this. Also, awesome Navy hat.
Please do a rig walk around of Jim’s JK
Love this kind of content Brad!
So glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
The thing I would wear in those mines is a hard hat. One of those 12" or better diameter rocks falling might squish ones head. Very nice trip gang!
I have been to Death Valley but had no idea these mines existed. Excellent video. I know my vehicle could not do this trip so I appreciate that you could take me there. Marco is an amazing chef
I am good watching the long format! Great trip! My wife and I spent 4 days this year in Death Valley in May... temps at night were in the 70's and the day got up to high 90's. It was a great place to see all sorts of cool things! I told her if we ever come back...I would want to do the north area for a few days! We are from Montana... so it won't be soon that we make it back down there...the worst thing about it was the fuel costs! But Panamint Springs was like 3 dollars a gallon less... so that is a great place to fuel up! Great video!
Perfect!
So, im guessing, based on clues in the video, that you visited during the coof restrictions of 2020? Because the hot springs were closed and the castle was still owned by Randy. The Castle is now a B&B and the owner also owns the Angles Ladies Brothel in Beatty NV, now a B&B as well. I sure miss DVNP. I hope to take my son this spring. Titus Canyon is, IMO, highly under rated. The wow factor is off the scale
Cool 👍👍👍👍
I didn’t see the full title and thought I was having deja vu
Love this kind of content Brad! Do more of these on the trail videos, especially to Alaska.
That's the plan!
@@TrailRecon Awesome!
I lived in Battle Mountain and worked mapping the valleys and mountains all over central NV where I would get buzzed by the fighters on an almost daily basis!!! So bad ass to know those guys would see me and buzz me like they did. And that was 20 years ago!
I really dig seeing the videos longer, I play them on the TV in the garage while I build stuff 🤘
Oh yeah, the Sailing Stones👍Water condensation forms a sheet of ice, as it thaws and melts it literally pushes the rocks, and leaves no trace of being there
😁👍
The Minnieta cabin is so nice good spot.
Nice….. I recalled the original version.. the Diesel wrangler seems so long ago
What a great video, adventures like these make you wanna be a Jeeper. Amazing kids haven't destroyed that cabin, I thought things like that only existed in movies!
Looks like an awesome trip, but going forward can you attach a "disclaimer" that Marko is cooking on it? I had to pause it to goto the grocery store to make carne asada tacos.... I wasn't even hungry haha. Keep up the great work!!
Brad this felt like a completely new adventure We absolutely enjoyed every moment. Yes the long form works Keep up the great videos
Awesome! Thank you!
Hey Brad ! Great Idea! Kind Regards from Germany
you guys are amazing people, not onlu nature and jeeps :) but watching you guys also great
Awesome trip, tks. From Brazil.
So cool
Great video as always and I really enjoy the long format! Also such a cool shot with the fighter jet flying over 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The flyover was my favorite part about the whole trip!
great video !....and how nice to see Jim :)) we met at Ballarat around new year's 2012.
I climb cell towers here in WV and any time we climb over around Marlinton, WV, the jets fly over and buzz the tower. I was recently on a tower and had 3 C130’s flying the map just outside of Hinton, WV. Epic stuff!
I do like longer videos. But if had to choose I’d take shorter videos (your usual length) at a good cadence then have to wait a couple months for longer videos. A mixture of both would be great. I always look forward to seeing what you release because I get some remote dirt therapy by watching them. Helps to tide me over between my own adventures. Thanks for sharing your experience. I look forward to what ever you bring forward.
Wow, epic video Mate. Keep them coming please. Cheers
Thank you!
