Land Between the Lakes Overland Adventure 2021 part 1
Join us and our friends as we go on a 5 day adventure to the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky and Tennessee. This is not our typical overlanding adventure but more a base camping trip. In addition to having One Stop Overland with us, we also had our great new friends from Highlift Offroad along for the entire trip.

I wondered around LBL for 17 years. Good to know people still enjoy its beauty. I haven't seen that place in 12 years. I miss being in the woods with minimal equipment to survive for weeks if not months at a time. One with nature is one with god.

I’ve officially joined the Jeep family. Just bought a 09 Wrangler Unlimited 4dr. It has a 4” lift with 35’s on it with great after market bumpers front and rear. I just need to add a decent winch and I’ll be ready. Love the thing already. Keep the great videos coming. Love your content.

That's awesome to see another big body out in the woods. When I had my RAM in the United Kingdom, I got a ton of stares from all the guys in their Land Rovers. Many were surprised at how capable the big truck is. Would like to hit up some trails with you all some time!

Same thing happen to me with my PW Winch the plug came undone but had to be taken apart plug now exposed and zip tired. But I leaned quickly pull out cable and rewind winch just to use it at least twice a month more if getting it muddy and wet. Less problem on the trail then. A lot of Winches never get used and then Seize up. Happy trails

Pro tip : go to where not a lot of people go. Reason being, over the years I've noticed that the well ridden trails are getting deeper and deeper over the years. What I mean is the " ruts " in the ground. This causes jeepers to go bigger tires and taller lifts just to go through what was possible with a stock set up years ago. Sad part about that too is , it pushes budget builders out of some nice wheeling trips. Just my 2 cents.
Only clay mud I’ve been in like that is the dry lake beds out west after a storm. The one near Pahrump, NV was really bad.

My dad and I were just down there I’ve the weekend. We used the camp spot just up from persimmon beach. How do you distinguish the 100, 200, and 300 level trails? We were just kinda on the trail that the front bumper lead us to.
@CoddiwompleOverland
2 жыл бұрын
100 trails are in Kentucky, 200s are in Tennessee. Both are atleast fairly well maintained. 300 roads are less maintained and are definitely rougher. You can find the routes on the MVUM.

We call it crock pot pizza at home as we make it in the crock pot. On the trail, we call it kettle pizza. Cook spiral noodles and set aside. In separate pan, add a layer of pizza or spaghetti sauce and noodles. Then, add a layer of your favorite pizza toppings. More sauce and cheese then repeat layering. Heat till hot. ~Deb
