TrailRecon is a family affair. My son Jordan and I started TrailRecon in October of 2015. Neither of us had any ambitions of starting a YouTube channel. We were just exploring local trails and making memories. Then, we decided to share our videos and were surprised to discover that people enjoyed watching them. As things began to grow, we learned more about filming, editing, and creating the best videos we could. We love off-roading and making videos just adds to the fun.  Now, with E3 Overland we’re here to help you reach your overlanding goals by sharing our experiences, passion, friendships and lessons learned.
