About

TrailRecon is a YouTube channel that my son and I started in 2015 to share our off-road and overland adventures. This channel started out with the simple goal of making memories while exploring trails in Southern California, but as I filmed more of our adventures, many folks like you asked me to share more details about my vehicles, camping gear and eduction about planning trips. I've come to love filming content for you all and I hope my videos inspire you to get out and hit the trails. You'll find many off-road and overland adventure videos here, some detailed reviews of gear I've used, tips and tricks I've learned from my adventures and I'll point out the way to breathtaking new trails for fellow off-roaders like you to explore.

Video Description

After a full year of adventures, thousands of miles on and off-road, and plenty of real-world use, it’s time to take a hard look at the Patriot Campers X3. Is it still holding up? Would I buy it again? And most importantly—is it worth the investment for serious overlanders? In this video, I break down: ✅ The wear and tear after a year of use ✅ How it performed on rough trails, remote campsites, and long hauls ✅ What I love, dislike, and would change about the X3 ✅ Whether or not I’d recommend it for overlanding and off-grid adventures If you’re thinking about investing in an overland trailer or just want to see how this one has handled a year of real-world use, stick around!
