Went to Montana a year ago May when the entire country was locked down. Enjoyed a meal in a restaurant and a spirit that doesn't exist in Washington anymore. Spent 7 days driving around the Big Sky state. It is amazing. Great job Nate.

dude...editor-to-editor...I love your style. I went and got a degree in video production 22 years ago and what you have done amazes me every episode. Just give ya some respect from a career editor. Also, LOVE the family stuff too.

"Put the camera down." Absolutely! I've seen YTers give up on their channel bc it took away the whole reason they did outdoor travel. Work/Life balance is a VERY important thing, especially when work is videoing life. Bravo.

Get out and live while you can. Enjoy your family and your friends because they may not be there tomorrow. Great video Nate. Keep em coming.

I’m a wildland firefighter from Florida. We just did a 14 day roll fighting fire at the trail creek fire in Montana.

just a few miles from my house! so glad you enjoyed your amazing wilderness.

The more i see the freedom to roam and the variety of scenery and places to camp in the US the more im looking into shipping our 4x4 over there in the next 6 years 😎 good to see the rig on the trails 👍

Very cool video. I love the fact you are adding your family in this adventure. I've been watching you for awhile and with your influence. I'm building an offroad teardrop trailer from scratch.

Its been a while since i've been overlanding but this video really makes me want to pack up some supplies, ring a few friends and head for the woods..

Great video, really enjoyed seeing something more adventurist than just a TJ bouncing off rocks and deep mud :). Love the LR content and the family enjoying their vacation.

Following your channel since over 1 year and would say it has it all, technical stuff, actual trips and lots of socializing with off road community...all coming in best possible video quality content. I can't ask for more, that puts you high on list of best content makers. thanx man, and best wishes.

To me living in Montana is heaven on Earth! Great people great state phenomenal beauty lots to do family-friendly you can't beat it!!! I am truly blessed to get to live here! 💖

You totally stuck the landing on the end Nate. Out kids may not remember every trip, but they’ll never forget what it feels like to connect to nature and friends around the campfire.

My 20 year old son is having his first child. I asked him one day what are you in such a rush for. He said to me i have to get it all out of my system before the baby comes. I told him true but now you going to have time to share the experience. Memories loke this are the ones that get you thru the hard times. Great video Sir

Back when common sense was taught, and was common, when respect was given first and earned last. And when love was somehow a little more free. Less red tape, and division. Some things aren't as good as they are now no doubt, but I think we're missing something that we used to have...

When the American people can't even be proud to be American without being labeled, it's a little divided don't you think ... Not trying to get into any arguments but I said what I said. Many things are different for the better but if we can't even agree that we want to see our country succeed and by extension our neighbors succeed then I think we've lost what made us the "united" states. There have always been big ticket items where division existed in our country(from the very beginning) but our wanting something better always ended up uniting us. And somehow we can't even unite under that anymore. All I'm saying is Love, not hate, and I mean that. Not as some political slogan. Who ever someone is, I can't possibly bet what their background or life experiences are. And because of that how am I supposed to make a judgement about them. They could tell me they are affiliated with any political party but honestly when you get down to it, people are a lot less different then they've ever been. It's time to stop letting labels define who we actually are. It's time to joke, to smile, and to do what Nate does, breath in life and find new places, enjoy the culture around him.

Thanks for sharing your adventure and the wise words to enjoy life every day. Thankfully we don’t know the day He will call us home! Enjoy every day till He does!

Great episode Dude, quite a touching end. More on this theme would be good. Cheers.

Wonderful video Nate. Family time can never be replaced.

A lot to be learned from this. Getting outdoors instead of sitting on a couch. Making friends with strangers and enjoying life. Hats off to you sir. There’s hope for us yet. Thanks for including us👍

Nate, you are a true inspiration! All the blood sweat and tears I have is to bring joy to my family and I think these type of moments mean more to men like us because we know how much we worked to make it all come together! Keep it up man!!!

What wonderful gifts from Brian! Outstanding. The Ghost town, family, new friends, pets, beautiful countryside and different breeds of trucks... Awesome! Cheers for sharing!

Thanks for pushing us to go out and more important, enjoy life. Cause you never know.

Thanks for bringing us along Nate! Looks like a fantastic trip.

I live in MIssoula also. Wish I would have paid attention sooner. We might have been able to join you. We are very lucky to live here. We live about 10 minutes east at the base of a mountain.

Looks like a great family adventure & shakedown (Oh the memories!).

we were up in Banack about a month ago. my friend got married in the church there. we also stopped by ringing rocks over in Whitehall. if you've never heard of it, it's a spot up on a mountain with a stack of rocks that don't really look like they belong and if you hit them with a hammer they sound like a bell. some of them are duds but there are some really good ones if you climb around the pile. really great view from the top of the pile too. you should check it out if you've never been it's only a few miles from the highway so not a real offroad adventure but a cool stop anyway.

The last part of your narrative IS what it's all about; family and friends. You guys were literally in my backyard; John Longs. We hunt all around there. We live in Philipsburg. If you mentioned you were going to MT on a show I missed it. We hunt all around Bannock also, and eat at Sparky's all the time.

Cool Video Nate Thanks for Sharing was Nice to interact with your family and friends!!! Thoroughly enjoyed!!!

Thanks Nate for a great video, it is amazing how the simple pleasures with family mean the most!!

So cool man thanks for sharing 👍 stay safe and happy trails 👣

Great job on the video and thanks again for a great time!

Brian, You’re awesome

In my opinion this is the best looking/most unique build you've done by far. definitely a build to take some serious pride in. now pleaseeee get that j truck going again. just an idea but seeing a j truck on 40's would be an awesome time capsule to see out there. I love the unique builds you do instead of JK, JK, JK, JL, JL, JL builds you see swarming all over the internet. that's how you've kept me hooked on the channel.

I love Montana and have such great memories growing up there. My favorite road of all time is going over Lolo Pass to Idaho. Such a beautiful part of the country. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride!

Congrats on 200k!!!! 🎉🎉

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah wow, sometimes our trips don’t go as planned and we have to swerve a little to stay on the road, but how awesome you picked up a local who kinda saved the day. Looks like a great time. I would love to hear more about those skillets. What an amazing and thoughtful gift!

Very cool trip!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Montana is a pretty nice place to visit and go exploring, especially in the summer!

I can't wait to be able to do this one day(sooner than later). Thanks for bringing us along. Disco is pretty awesome.

Love your channel Nate. Your advice at the end if this vid is spot on. Thanks!

WOW Such a perfect Disco build!! I LOVE IT! Color...Interior color and all you have done to it, Especially axel width and tire/rim stance. Ect ect... Very Cool! SUPA KUWALL. 😁👍

Fitting sponsor, OnX is a Montana company! You must've threaded the needle on air quality, we've been hammered by the smoke in SW/Central MT, if you sleep outside you wake up with smokers' cough. The LR looks awesome, great job on the build! That Dakota(?) in the group has a sweet paintjob.

You're doing a decent job at making an interesting video and enjoying your time offroad. I'm glad you figured it out! 👍

Really like the the mixture of topics in this video. Some family, some tech, some unexpected, and a bunch of fun.

Kool trip 👍🤙

Great mixture of audio and video storytelling! Great to see the whole family adventuring

Scary dry in eastern Washington, North Idaho and western Montana. It really put a stop to many locals doing any trips. Glad you could get out with the family.

Now that looked like an awesome trip. The fires are unfortunate but luckily enough you were able to still find some awesome places to camp and enjoy the great outdoors!! Can’t wait to see where your adventures take you next!!

I don’t know about “overlanding,” but here in the USA; we Americans go wheeling & road tripping. Jeep & Ford 🇺🇸 here … weekend adventures. Good stuff 👍🏻

Your kids are super cute. I'm sure they will cherish the memories that they make with you on this trip and future trips like it. I still think fondly of the times my mother shoved my sisters and I into the little Mazda she had at the time, with camping gear packed all around us.

Welcome to the Zoo, I live here. It used to be an amazing place to live, but now its Austin and Portland all over again.

Good stuff! Love Montana.

Next time you make your way up, try to get a little more north. The entirety of the wise river is great, and the bitterroot mountains have some awesome spots and small lakes too.

Love it Nate :-) Brings a smile to my face

My folks are from Montana when you mentioned Dillon Mt. My parents met in college at the Montana State College of Dillon Montana. Few years ago and has the college had a name change. Primarily business is the Talc Factory, where I picked up two loads at different times when I was driving a big rig dragging a 53 foot trailer..
