It doesn't always have to be some glorious multi-day adventure. Sometimes, a quick trip is the perfect recipe for feeding the soul.

A less glamorous, but much more normal trip that most of us can relate to. A small adventure is still an adventure. Great message to wrap it up.
Us normies who don't have six-figure rigs need adventure too! Thanks for commenting!
Being called your brother felt good lol, weâre doing well my man I hope things are going well for you !
Appreciate that! My magic 8-ball says "outlook good."
Great to see you out overlanding again.
Appreciate you sticking around!
Glad to see you are back adventuring. A bad day of exploring is better than a good day at work. That campsote is epic for sure.
Thanks for sticking around!
i am glad the algorithm from CZcams brought me to your channel. I am just now looking at gear to get started in my overlanding adventure. Your how to/advice videos have been exactly what I been looking for. Thank you! As for your message at the end of this video, you've already earned a new subscriber, but now a new brother. God bless.
Amen brother
Your message at the end is epic đ

Happy youâre back to your travels!!! Love your videos!!!
:Thank you for sticking around!
About a month ago I went camping at a new to me location and I thought I had the whole canyon to myself. Then I saw sign for shooters to pickup their shell casings. I paid for a camp site a few miles away.
If the finger didn't heal, that would've made a great Yakuza story!
Who says you canât have it all? City living in the morning and a hour or two later you are watching deer pass your rig and eating chili in a forest.
city living is overrated
Roger, love your channel. Have been thinking of getting into overlanding and you have provided a much needed spark. My reasons for getting into it are extremely similar to yours. Keep up the great work!
Donât delay, overland today! For real though, exposure to nature is known to be therapeutic. I hope you find what you need out there. Happy trails!
Checking out little towns and easy camping is still overloading.
Well Roger! It was quite a surprise to see you visiting our home town of Calistoga!! My wife was born there as was her mom (now 92 and still living in her house!) while grandma was born in Yountville! Our old stomping grounds for sure! Spent some years down in Foster City so Bay Area somewhat familiar!
Overlanding doesnât have to be dirt roads onlyâŠthe trip, the relaxation, getting awayâŠwhat itâs all about! Enjoying your trips and your outlook!đ
Thanks for watching and commenting! Your hometown area is awesome and I truly hope it doesn't get ruined like so many other parts of CA.
Roger, growing up there in Calistoga in the 60âs and 70âs we would say itâs pretty much ruined! It still is a cute little town, but the outside world discovered it in the 80âs and 90âs! When we lived there, there lots of walnut and prune orchards and mostly a farming community! With the hot springs, vineyards and a few wineries it was a quiet little town and a great place to grow up! Rode our bikes everywhere and everyone knew each other! But you âBay Area peopleâ (đČ) found it and it is now a tourist town known throughout the world and not the Calistoga we remember or grew up in!!! I would like to hold you responsibleâŠ(LOL!) but youâre 30 years too late!! So since I canât blame you, I will continue to watch and enjoy your travels and blogs! đđ
I'm sorry to hear that đ The bay area was a nicer place overall back in the 80s/90s when I was growing up imho, but yes, bay area people have collectively ruined many things. But, I suppose that's the price of "progress" and also that I need to learn to just appreciate things in the moment instead of always burdening myself with hindsight.
@@ggg4runner that is trueâŠthe Bay Area was such a nice place to visit in the 70â and 80âsâŠ.not sure about the 90âs!! Calistoga had a population of about 1500-1800 back when we lived thereâŠnow about 5,000? Big changes, but like you saidâŠthatâs âprogressâ! Foster City was a nice âbedroomâ community back then as wellâŠnot so much last time we visited. Same with San JoseâŠnot any longer! But like you said, living in the past doesnât do any good! Life is about now and tomorrowâŠ.opportunities! I enjoy your âlove affairâ with your Toy! Have had several 4-Runners (first one was an â85!) and small pickups before the had TacomasâŠalso back in the 80âs and early 90âs--all great vehicles and I still miss my â68 LC! Three on the tree and that old iron 6 cylâŠ.drove it from Calistoga to Phoenix and from Phoenix to Fresno back in 1974! 55 mph all the way!!!
Iâve rambled on long enough! Hope you had a great week end!
Good to see you back in the saddle (somewhat) after the injury. Hope it continues to heal up. That campsite looks awesome! East Bay 4Runner guy here-You can go further north along the coast to Mendocino too. Van Damme (developed campsite) is a great spot.
Good tip! I'll keep that in mind for a future trip. Thanks for sticking around!
Enjoying your editing style. Well done!
I try to constantly work on that so I appreciate your comment đ
Great stuff.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
@4:35: A child doctor would note: "...has fine motor skills".đ

Yayyy, you can flip people off again!!

My son smashed the end of his middle finger in a door when he was 4. I wish they would have done that for him. It was the middle finger on his left hand, non dominant hand.
Yeah, I got lucky with which doctor was working the day I went to the ER. The method he used (laterally-based thenar flap fingertip reconstruction) was documented as early as 1926 but my doctor stated that the vast majority of ER doctors don't even know the procedure. Apparently, also according to my doctor, the middle finger is the most often injured finger since it's the longest one. Yes, weird trivia I know. Thank you for watching!
â€
back at you â€ïž
Deserve it brother
Be grateful your on the west coast with tons of public land, east coast has much less and takes hours to get to. Days to get west.
true, and I guess if things were closer people would've ruined it by now
Nice Video. How do you like those aftermarket seats in your 4Runner? I have a Tacoma and would consider getting new seats if I found the right ones. Thanks.
I like them overall, more comfortable to me than stock. But, PRPs require some work to install in a Toyota, it doesn't just bolt in. Keep in mind PRPs are suspension seats so make sure that's what you want. If I had the money I probably would've gone Scheel-mann (not a suspension seat but very ergonomic).
I have an 85 4Runner I got when I was 15. It broke down and is finally getting In the shop to get fixed (Iâm 18 now). Do you think this could be a good overland rig.
If I'm not mistaken, and I am certainly no 1st gen 4Runner expert, 1985 was the final year for the solid front axle AND you have the 22R-E engine. You sir have kind of a crown jewel of 1st gen 4Runners so congrats! And yes, that would make a fine foundation for an overland vehicle, heck, I'd be wanting to go full-on pop-up camper build on one of those. Do I sound a tad jealous? Cuz I am.
I wish you many rad adventures and happy trails brother! Thanks for watching!
Can you tell us about your seats? I am really curious...hate the stock ones.
They're just PRP Enduro Elite seats (prpseats.com). It seems like PRP has updated the Enduro line since I bought mine over a year ago and it looks like the Enduro Daily is the most similar to mine. I ordered mine with the seat heaters option which is a nice touch. They also have options for inflatable lumbar support but the best part about PRP is that you can have them made with whatever fabrics/colors they stock. So I chose colors that more or less match my Moon Mist (gray) interior and I opted to go with tweed so that it doesn't burn you sitting in the sun.
They are not fun to mount if you want it to slide still. I ordered a slider bracket specifically for 3rd Gen 4Rs from wedgebrackets.com and then used the PRP universal angle brackets and forced them to work together. The stock manual seats are kind of seat+bracket together so unless you want to crazy modify the stock seat 'bracket" you have to go aftermarket or custom. The issue with all of this is you end up with a very tall seat compared to stock. It's basically like setting the stock seat to maximum height. I'm only 5'10" and I only have about 2 inches of headroom now from the moon roof.
But even with those couple of negatives, they are much more comfy (subjectively of course) and since PRPs are suspension seats they do great on trails and with CA Bay Area potholes lol. My lower back never gets sore with these seat and it used to get sore after just a 2 hour drive with the stock seats.
Hope that helps.
@@ggg4runner thanks much for the quick reply....I'm 6 ft and am about an inch or so away...might be too tall
