ROOFTOP TENTING ON A REMOTE BEACH /// EFRT S5•EP11
The EPIC Family Road Trip - SEASON 5•EPISODE 11//
In this week's episode, we head south from Exploration Outfitters in Mead, Oklahoma to The South Padre Island National Seashore in Southern Texas.This is our maiden voyage with our newly retrofitted Jeep Rubicon after it spent about two weeks in the shop being built into an expedition vehicle at Exploration Outfitters. This Jeep is our newest member of The Epic Family Road Trip in addition to our original 2012 Jeep Wrangler Arctic Addition named Vandi. We had retrofitted Vandi at Exploration Outfitters in 2016 before shipping her to New Zealand for a 6-month overseas overland expedition. You can watch the full build process on our channel which was documented into a 4 part series following the build of the Jeep from stock to where it is now! Make sure to check out those videos for any information on the gear we got installed and the modifications we had done. Stay tuned on our channel for a full in-depth walk-around tour of our new Jeep which will be coming soon! We had a lot of fun this week at South Padre Island National Seashore with both of our Jeeps! This was our first time overlanding and camping with our new convoy member and we are so excited for the adventures to come over the next few months and beyond with our two Jeeps on the road! Thank you all so much for watching! We hope you enjoyed the video and if you’re new to our channel we hope you will become an EFRT Family member by subscribing to our channel for new videos every Sunday! ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉EXPLORATION OUTFITTERS: explorationoutfitters.com/ INSTAGRAM (@Exploration_outfitters): / exploration_outfitters ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ Long Range America (Auxiliary Fuel tanks) www.longrangeamerica.com ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ Milestar Tires (Patagonia MT) www.milestartires.com/light-t... ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ EXPLORATION OUTFITTERS: explorationoutfitters.com/ INSTAGRAM (@Exploration_outfitters): / exploration. . ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ WARN WINCHES www.warn.com/ ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ GOOSE GEAR: www.goose-gear.com/collection...

The scene arriving to the beach and the music, just recalls 100% Peru: The exact type of sand, sea, waves, birds and -of course- the andean music ... i really thought these guys were in the Peruvian coast ... Love it!
German Urrunaga - We hope to visit Peru one day. 🇵🇪
@@EFRT more than happy to help in that project! Best!
I enjoyed watching your videos showing beautiful landscapes, rugged terrains, beautiful beaches, etc. The iconic Wrangler Jeep symbol of American 4x4s is so amazing. Keep safe guys.
The early mornings are always the best at the beach, worth being there at sunrise.
The new setup looks awesome. What a way to start it off then with an adventure on the beach!! Looks great!!
16:40 such a dad moment checking the door handle after your son stepped on it. Enjoy yourselves, so many beautiful places to visit across N. America.
J Denmark - Haha. You noticed that. The door handle survived. 😆 have a great weekend!
Well done guys! Thats a beautiful spot, I hope to get back there someday myself!
What great a family you and your wife have raised!!! I found out about your channel watching a Trail Recon video about Baja. Love you guy's and keep making good videos.
Hi there. Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are so glad you found our channel. Here’s to adventure. ❤️
@@EFRT love your family love from lovely PAKISTAN. Keep it up sir
Trail Recon brought me here
Beautiful sound of the waves!! Envy..envy..envy!! Excellent go anywhere Rubicons indeed!! stay safe in in times of covid19!!
Such a beautiful trip so glad to see the entire family enjoy the trip
So cool, not the nicest beach but lots of nature and it’s the largest barrier island in the the world! Tide seemed very high when y’all were there
Great editing / Video = Thank you for Sharing Happy Life, Dog and Family = Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

Amazing place ever .enjoy your times .safe for you
Love the sand lights!
Wow, beautiful. We love your dog, looks like dog heaven. Safe journey to you all,😃
Thanks and Yes he sure loved it there.
Yes, love the dog too !! BTW what particular breed is that?
Shawn Pierce German short haired pointer. Need at least an hour at the park every day haha. I say that from experience as I just got home from the park with mine.
Thanks for sharing and reminding me I need to get off-road as soon as I can. Greetings from Mexico.
Amazing shortcut film! This family would survived in anyApocalyptic event or The Walking Dead thing. Really, you can go almost anywhere with this skills, equipment and Jeep vehicles! I honestly enjoy the video edition!
Lovely Family on the way to do the adventure. This is real An awesome moment. Great holiday together. I like this VLOG.
Awesome thanks. Rinse that salt water off the Jeep's ASAP... Rust is the enemy!! Safe travels Perry
Es la mejor forma de conocerse una familia, nada une mas que el contacto con la Naturaleza. Enhorabuena por el vídeo. Os saludo desde Málaga-España.
Camping and clean beach, yes! greetings from Brazil
You guys have made a really epic journey. Love the videos u guys have made. You are an amazing family and specially your Dad amazing guy
The off shore rigs and workers litter a ton. I've collected a dozen hard hats on trips down there. Nothing like living with a dog on the beach, sand forever!
I live there! Well Corpus Christi. Super cool guys. Glad y’all loved it!
Great video. Glad y'all are able to enjoy our "little best kept secret" here in Texas. In fact, most public beaches in Texas are drive-able with free camping.
Yes we really enjoyed our time in Texas. We will be back! We love Texas. 🇺🇸 ❤️
I hadn't seen your videos for a long time. Great location, one I would never have heard of if not for this video. You also have one lucky dog along with a great looking family. Have a great year.
Thank you for keeping Texas clean👍
Wow welcome to corpus and have a great time and safe travels for your family.
a210221 - thanks for sharing your beautiful part of the world with us! ❤️
Brisk and refreshing ! 😎 it’s great to see you guys in TWO Jeeps and just in time cuz boy did you kids ( and Lando) grow up ! Well all that good food, no wonder. ( no Capt’n Crunch for breakfast - lol !). More Fun Times ahead
Yes,, the kids are and getting any smaller that’s for sure. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day.👍🏻
Nice to see the 2 rigs rolling the beach ! I bet the sleeping and everything is so much easier now ! Enjoy. 🙏❤️
Yes, now we’ve got room for everything. The kids are happy. 👍🏻
@@EFRT Make sure u pressure wash the frames from the salt!
Muito bacana, um grande abraço aqui do Brasil
Lando looks like hes having the most fun..hes constantly running and digging...😀

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes we are thankful for our parents. 👍🏻
Hope you all are staying safe!! What are you doing as a result of this corona virus?
Great Vid guys as always I live on the west coast of Fl camped on the gulf many times always beautiful thanks you for a great vid I want one of those fire deflectors for sure
Cool. We’ll let you know when the fire reflector is available. Probably in a week or two. Have a wonderful weekend!
Your two jeeps are gorgeous and functional overlander..the JK is looking so much better now with new rims and tyres... 👌👍👍
Thanks. We are quite happy with the builds. They are designed for a long haul travel and they seem to do the job. 👍🏻
A stock Rubicon is capable to do wonders on light to moderate trail..I drive a 96 YJ and loving it...stay healthy and safe to the fam..best regards from Indonesia 👍👍🖐️Jeep wave.....
Lovely trip!
Beautiful spot to add to the list. And its been a lot of fun watching the content getting better and better. Awesome shot and transition at 17:08! Another great video. Hope you gave both rigs and equipment a good rinse afterwards. Safe Travels
Chris Overholt - Thanks! Always great to get feedback. Yes we gave them both a good thorough washing.
The new Jeep looks great! What a beautiful area, hope to get there some day.
You’ll love it there. Thanks for watching!
Grande Família, que Deus continue abençoando vocês.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Thanks also for picking up trash; so nice!

Living life to the fullest
I love the music, reminds me of Argentina's pampas
Great trip and definitely no Mountain House in that camp! LOL!
You Enjoy Life and Best Moment as Family
5:52 its amazing🔥🔥
Watching from India . Very interesting one . Love your dog too . Shalom
Padre Island National Seashore is definitely on my list of places to take my family.
putting Corpus Christi on the map
Awesome!!!
Saw you guys in Banf on May 27 2018. Loved you jeep and i said to you, sir look like you put almost retail cost of the jeep into mods & you said yes :D. So very happy to see you guys :D
wonderfull land and view...very enchant...
Padre is so awesome. Watching this Sunday morning... Now I'm hungry. Great cooking! We stayed out there for a week after Expo East. We had warmer temps but still lots of wind. Great video!
Tsar Trail - Awesome place. Glad you enjoyed the vid. 👍🏻
me encantan esos carros y q hermosos q viajan con el perrito ❤
es muy bueno
Epic Family Road Trip i think you people would have enjoyed a lot off roading and adventurer!
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. FYI: At 6:30, I do not believe you are anxious to try the dead man recovery device. Anxious comes from Latin, Angere, meaning to choke and strangle. You are eager giving it a go.
Wow the dog is just full of life. Beautiful
Hello Epic Road Trip, I love to travel outdoors! Greetings from Brazil! ;-)
Wow you guys do live a blessed epic life ...
Thank you 🙏🏻
Double drooling, the trip, the food !!!!
Beautiful and awesome place to enjoy as a family. I love the two Jeeps but the white JL in particular because when I bought my TJ,I asked for it in white but it took three and a half months to arrive and I decided on a navy blue one,but the white one is my favourite for a Jeep. My best wishes to you from Spain and thanks for another amazing video.
Nacho Valenti - thanks for watching in 🇪🇸. Are there some beaches you can drive your Jeep on there in Spain?
Epic Family Road Trip Unfortunately here by law it is totally forbidden and you can only make routes trough mountain areas or deserts with prior permission,otherwise you risk a heavy penalty. I'm in a Jeep club ( between 25-30 CJ,YJ,TJ,JK and JL) in which we go out of the route several times a year and they are responsible for managing those permits. You are in paradise and at least I enjoy watching your videos and the wonderful places you visit. Take care and enjoy.👍😁
Damn that looks fun. Thanks for the video!
That’s camping for sure 🚙⛺️ and we pickup too...
Awesome! Together we’ll all solve the litter problem. 👍🏻 Have a wonderful evening! ❤️
@@EFRT Part of "Leave No Trace" is always leaving your site better than you found it.
just now dreaming car jeep.for me its one of the best offroad car.
This is amazing
I'm Long Road Trip Co-driver.. I Love Your Videos.. Thank You For Your Beautiful Information..
That’s definitely Texas for you. Winter in the morning and night, summer during the day. Wish we could have met you guys when y’all passed through. We are just south of the Dallas Ft. worth area.
Will let you know next time we’re in the area. 👍🏻
Just commenting again to say I LOVE THIS BEACH!!!!!! Thanks for sharing your travels I was able to disconnect for 18 minutes!

Awesome family
My wife is from Bolivia and to hear a Zampona in a song got my attention right away. great choice in music.
I looked for zampona. What is the name of this specific piece?
I hope you got down to Big Shell, we love camping there.
Enjoyed watching your video.
Bellissime avventure...Complimenti...Anche qui in Sardegna ci sono posti stupendi. Ciao.
好羡慕这样的生活,best car
That is sick!!!
Soo cool well done
Great video and family
Caroline, we see that you're getting scuba certified. Excellent, and now be sure to join the group GIRLS THAT SCUBA. It is a very supportive community of women who love all things diving and you would be most welcome. Get yourself somewhere for a dive with beautiful reefs and do more diving without that heavy surf, murky water and nothing to look at. That was a hard way to start into the sport.
This looks like a blast
Loved the new video and I really bet you all like all the new gear congratulations 🍾🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out
Hi Camping Russ. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes we are loving all the new gear and then extra room! 👍🏻
Awesome video!
Qué bonito, lindas Jeep, wonderful all, un abrazo para su familia, saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪
Thanks for watching in Peru 🇵🇪 ❤️
The new Jeep is great. Nice videos I'm from COLOMBIA ❤️
Добрый день! Прекрасный отдых на природе! Молодцы!
Boy, that German Shorthair is digging this trip!!
That dog! Looks like he/she had the most fun from this trip! Beautiful family I must say.
Yes he loves running along side the Jeeps. ❤️🐈
