Kara, you mentioned yesterday that you had concerns about whether or not this series might be a flop which could negatively impact your channel. I hope by now you understand that your fans love you guys no matter what you do! It’s less about what you’re doing or where you are, but more about your wonderful and sweet personalities that bring in and keep your viewers!

Rick is an absolute engine - not taking a single day off and taking a turn with his girls. This is my absolute fav Kara & Nate series yet.

Rick and Bec need their own channel! They are naturals and their energy is so calming and infectious!

honestly, I would really like to see inside of Rick and Beck’s van. I really want to see how they travel in a van with two kids and make it all fit comfortably. ❤

I love how you call the men "The Dad's" when Rick is the only technical father and the women are the girls. The 8 of you make such a great family. Embracing all the quirky situations and having fun with them. There's nothing wrong with enjoying life and finding enjoyment in finding creative solutions to problems. Frankie and Evie have got to be some of the most blessed girls in the world and the rest of show how appreciative you are for your blessings as well.

I used to live in Alton, IL, and I can absolutely confirm the friendliness of the people. We had actual real-live neighbors when we lived there, and had quite a few neighborhood parties. Good memories for us, and happy my old town gave you all good memories too.

I look forward to 9am MST on Saturdays to tune into this adventure...and everything you do. Over the 7+ years you've been doing this, you've become phenomenal story tellers.

I know you guys were worried about doing an extended series like this, thinking we would all get bored, but I have been absolutely loving it! Frankly, when you are having one big adventure after another in each episode it can be a bit too much. I like the continium, the progression of a story, a series like this provides. It also provides that element of anticipation, as we all await to see how it all turns out.

@@kimdivinaeggimann2464 Not sure, but it is probably because only one person can use it at a time and considering their general dirtiness, it would require shower cleaning. And the van has limited water supply. Probably it was inspired at the moment for mass cleaning of all the sweaty and dirty bodies.

@raylene1040

@@kimdivinaeggimann2464 I think its because their shower has become a storage closet and bathroom and in order to shower they would have to remove everything first which is very time consuming, then wipe down the shower inorder to put everything back. With their biking and driving days, cooking, and editing, they dont have the additional free time. But thats just a guess on my part.

Watching Nate sing a Shania Twain song and Kara combing her leg hair was hilarious. I was laughing non-stop through that. This is a great series of videos.

Rick going down the slide in his helmet had me ROLLING!!!! As did Nate singing Man! I Feel Like a Woman!

Like so many (MANY) others, have watched EVERY video series you've produced (minus the new channel, which is just not my thing), and THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE!!!! You two surround yourselves with incredible people and together do the most inspiringly FUN challenges. Seriously, these shared adventures with THIS crew are the absolute BEST and hope you all can do many MANY more and willing to share them with all of us. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Love this series! Thank you so much for taking risks and sharing all of your wild adventures. No matter what y'all do, your personalities and genuine interactions you share are what keep all of us here. I've been watching for 5 years and can't remember when I didn't look forward to new Kara and Nate on the weekends.

Nate singing Shania Twain is the best thing about this trip...besides the trip itself!

We discovered your channel recently by some happenstance surfing KZread. As we have followed your Biking Across America series we've been binge watching from your first VLOGs. WOW!!! Where you've been then to now is extraordinary. From helping deaf children in Vietnam to triage in Africa to honoring those lost in Auschwitz and beyond your kindnesses have created trust and respect worldwide. You are ambassadors of optimism of a better tomorrow. Your challenges footage are inspirational, motivational, educational and laugh out loud, feel good moments. These impacts are not measurable by views and likes. It's incredible reading through the comments, sometimes years after you've uploaded a video how you touch lives. From those who have felt hopelessness from quarantine or not fitting in their daily surroundings, even stress of finances not being able to travel, themselves watching your activities brings thoughts of possibilities and more importantly a sense of friendship. What a wonderful world this is you've created. You both are truly magnificent humans. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see where you go next!!!

It's sad knowing next week is the last part to this trip but I guess all good things must come to an end, next week's video will be a rollercoaster of emotions after watching the teaser at the end.

Nate singing Shania Twain alone while driving was by far my favorite moment in this video.

Kara and Nate l have never commented on your videos until now. I just want to say thank you for taking us on your adventures. You see I became sick in 2021 from COVID. I unfortunately lost my right leg. After being in a coma for two weeks I woke up with my life changed forever . I loved hiking and swimming just being able to walk with my granddaughter. I just wish I could get up and hold her hand and walk down the sidewalk. This is all I wish for, realizing this would never happen again was the biggest thing that made me cry . I couldn't share this with my grandbaby anymore.However my life is so different and I know I can't. I thank you because I feel that I am on these adventures with you. I miss being able to just go into our backyard. Thank you both for giving me hope. Especially when at one time I had none. I wish you guys the best of luck and thank you for taking me on this amazing adventure with you.

Whether you are flying across the world, sailing the seas, driving in your van or cycling from west to east across the USA, I am here for the ride. You make every vlog great and you are an amazing couple. You always manage to put a smile on my face every time I see one of your vlogs pop up. Thank you ❤

As I’m watching EPISODE #5 of this journey, I just realized how wild it is that you guys have not had a single day of crappy weather! How LUCKY!! You guys bring so much joy to so many ppl. Just keep peddling just keep peddling… 💜💜

Hey Kara and Nate, I’ve been meaning to leave you this advice for awhile now. For your drawer in the kitchen that always slams open you guys should get child proof cabinet and drawer locks. They are so cheap and easy to use. Anyway, I love you guys! I have been watching you for maybe 5-6years now. Hello from Wisconsin! 🧡

I love how real this video is! The underwear just casually hanging on the door at 21.31mins is real! 🫶🏻🫶🏻 love you both Kara and Nate! This series has been so much fun to watch ❤

It's so sweet that Kara was worried that Evie might've missed the border and the sign. Also, as an Aussie, I'm so glad to see Americans enjoy Vegemite after a really long time of people saying it's gross.

Can’t wait for the finale. During my travels across states, I just want to get somewhere and rarely stop at more than 1 or 2 attractions. I love how y’all meet so many interesting people and do so many things along the way. I’m finally learning that life is about the moments.

I thought I wouldn't like this serie as much as the other videos since I'm not really into biking. Turns out, its the serie I followed the most on youtube and I loooove watching every video as soon as they are live 🥰

This group of people is just so wholesome. ❤

Definitely do this again, and more videos with this whole crew, love love this series. You all are the best ❤❤❤❤❤

A future video idea…. You guys could really have some fun biking the rails to trails bike routes scattered across the country and showing us how beautiful they are. Take along fun people like your current crew and that unicycle family. These bike adventures a few times a year are magical and so much fun to watch!! P.S. I loved the happy honking town you went through in Illinois! 🎉😊

Subtle when you realize how smart Kara and Nate actually have to be to pull off all their shenanigans.

I think I like your longer play times of 30 minutes or more. I always enjoy my Sunday morning coffee watching and Kara always makes me laugh. Thanks keep up the good work.😊

This whole series reminds me of when y’all met the guy that was biking across America while you were walking across Rhode Island! Full circle moment, now you are on the other side of that conversation, how cool!
