About this episode: We've had our fair share of interesting border crossings. Okay, mostly related to stowaway oranges, but this one was a new surprise. In this episode, so much happens before we finally make our way south from Valdez, AK.

You guys are really becoming my favorite, of the travelers that I follow! It's so true to life and your entire family rocks with personality! You cover the things that I wonder about and the first that I've seen to carry a firearm and admit it. I would have bear spray too but when it comes to protecting my life, I wouldn't want to trust it . Thank you for the entertainment! You guys are great! 😎👌💖
The drone footage of the boat through the ice was really cool!

Can't tell you how much my husband and I love your KZread Chanel. This week, we bought your dish drainer, and I installed your magnet motion sensor lights in my pantry. Wow what a difference they make. We also installed the step covers. We had my brother in law over yesterday and your show was on. We were telling him how much we love watching your adventures, today he was out shopping for trailers. Passing on your spirit of "do it now, don't wait until you retire". Thanks guys for always keeping us entertained, informed and motivated. We are currently at Pismo Coast Village because of you. The sunset was beautiful tonight and we have you to thank for that. We are reminding ourselves each day, to live our dream today. Thank you KYD

I bought those lights too and every time I move my trailer, they fall and half the time they don't work anyway because there's not enough tension on the battery door to keep contact.

You're actually helping us to keep our daydream. Thank all of you!
Wow! What a beautiful video! You nailed the perfect music to go along with the drone shot coming down on the boat as it waded through the ice…..it was magical! We had to watch it over and over. And great shot and audio of the boat sloshing the ice around! We so appreciate the time and effort you all put in to produce such beautiful work, not only the visual, but also the details and information you supply. We soak up everything as we work to make our dream happen. Thank you for the continued inspiration! Ray and Cindy from Nevada
OMG....that drone footage!

Lol you guys crack me up every single time you could use a video there so many beautiful things. But Marc when you in Tricia are together, It seems like constant smiles and laughs ,and you guys just make everything great.. I mean let's just think about it 35000 views is where I see you guys at right now, and a 146000 people subscribed you guys are one of the most watched videos out there even by other people that we watch... You 2 are making history lol unbelievable.. Keep up the great work we love you guys see on the next one
Immediately when you had problems with your trailer brakes disconnecting my brain went to the problem we recently solved. Our brakes would only disconnect when it was raining. After lots of investigating we discovered the brake wires that run through the axels was old and the insulation was cracking and braking. We had to pull the wires and rewire the trailer brakes. This summer on our 30 day trip was the first trip in 3 years where we didn't have brake problems or a tire blow out. We were so happy.
Trish is the boss! Marc your the driver and the boys are, well I haven't figured what they are yet. 😄

"CTRL+F dielec" yup. I second this suggestion. Should have for everything on a truck like this. I use it on every fuse/relay I can to stop corrosion and garbage.
Amazing footage of Alaska. Wonder how many times we said, “WOW!!!!!!” watching the incredible scenery and wildlife. Had no idea the border has hours?!?!?! Will be waiting till Sunday....💕💕💕

Back in 1999 we went to Canada and brought a rifle into the country and they asked more questions about the ATV than the gun. No fees back then but they were concerned we were going to sell the ATV while we were in the country.
I love the little mime in the back seat!! He always makes me laugh! So funny!!
Your drone footage off the LuLabelle Was amazing!
We were in Valdez - too early for Salmon fishing, but Tinkerbell fishing co. had huge jars of frozen Salmon caviar - we bought cream cheese, great crackers and feasted for several days. We did not camp on this trip, though we usually always do on our travels. If you hit a moose on Alaskan roads (happens a lot) You let authorities know and they alert the nearest local tribe, and the meat is used by the indigenous people. When we drove from Anchorage to Valdez, we drove for 2 miles behind a moose strolling down the middle of the highway! He was completely unconcerned. We had so many amazing experiences, but now I want to go back and do more! Thank you for sharing your possibilities.
Beautiful scenery and video! Great drone footage above the boat. Parking at the border is going to make a great story. Safe travels!
We've really enjoyed your videos this summer. We live here in Alaska but we've never gone any boating tours or flight seeing tours. This was awesome to watch. Thank you
You have the best videos and advise and fun !
Thank you so much for sharing such Amazing travel vids with us... makes my week! Wish you could upload more often 🤗😁
Speaking for all of us (I'm sure) we LOVE the music you've so painstakingly downloaded to accompany your wonderful videos, thank you!
Borders can be very frustrating... When our boys were little asthma was an occasional ugly problem. It had appeared to be under control for almost a year so we planed a stay in Rocky Point. On our next to last day there the oldest was experiencing some problems with his asthma, nothing but an un staffed clinic in town and no EMS. So we packed up in the middle of the night and made a dash for the "Border". Of course it was closed so we had to sweat out 2 hours waiting, after we got there for it to open... If it wasn't for being a Medic and having everything I needed to treat him it could have been really bad. Murphy is a has a sick sens of humor and he is waiting around every corner. Wish we'd have had our RV back then! Great show , fantastic footage. OLT
We’re finally full time RVers and you had so much to do with getting us here! Thank you for your inspirational videos that keep us motivated to keep dreaming about the next adventure...even if it means sleeping overnight at the border!
We don't do cold very well but that might be worth it. The views on the boat were awesome.
I can’t stop watching your videos they are amazing and that drone footage ugh you did that perfectly
What a wonderful childhood you're giving to your kids.
Wow. Amazing. Beautiful, and crazy! Can’t wait to see how it ends.
Oh my Lord how breathtaking! The scenery is just amazing! Your photography skills are impressive to say the least! Great job!
Loving all your videos! Experiences of a lifetime with many more to come. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness! Epic cliffhanger!!
Your videos are just magical! Thank you for taking us along!!
The boat trip through the ice fields was incredible ❤️
Those drone shots of the boat cruising through the ice in Valdez were epic! Edits keep getting better and better - mad skills! Love you guys...
When my family left Alaska to be reassigned in Fort Jackson, SC we took that same route. From Tok to Haines in the winter time. Not recommended. White-outs and communications dead zones. And yeah, the closed border. Caught us off guard too. Haines was such a beautiful town.
Hi from Australia. I have been really enjoying your videos. Will be going back and starting from the beginning and watching them all. Your and your family's interaction with the camera is great. I love how you also give abit of history, geography and tourist info as well. For us over here in the land of Oz, it feels like we are there with you. Thanks again.
Great video as usual thanks really look forward to these every week
Love watching you guys, I have been binge watching your channel! Its amazing the scenery you are experiencing and sharing!
I can't believe you left us hanging, I guess I'll be back next week!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for inspiring us to start our daydream. Bought a truck and used toy hauler camped for two nights for shake down. It will be a couple of years before we can do extended trips but we’ll be doing a week or to at a time and long weekends till then. Love your videos
Wow we've got to go to Alaska, Loved the video this week! !!
You go, Trish, with your ideas! Just love how adventurous you all are. LOL@the whole pink pen thing. Staying tuned on this cliffhanger 😂🤗💕
That was amazing. Love your adventures, feel like I am right there with you. Thank you so much for all you do on your channel. Now to wait till next week to see what happened at the border.
I about fell out of my chair over the Nintendo game bit! Hilarious. Great video. Thank you.
Such great pics (both from the drone and on the ground); espec liked the boat going through the ice field. Can't wait to see what happens at the border. So interesting with you sharing some "fun facts" and showing the great scenery. Seeing black bears on the side of road would be exciting, too. Am enjoying being with you on this trip. Y'all Be Safe!
Best videos on youtube. You guys live an amazing life. Make the best of a rough situation. At least you guys have each other and all get along great. Thank you for the entertainment.
Up up down down A B A B select start! I loved your Nintendo reference LOL!!! My jaw HIT THE GROUND when you rolled up to the closed border! I can’t believe it

Verrrry nice drone video of the glacier field and the boat to show perspective. And, of course, Kaleb at 14:30.
Such a great video! Lu lu belle footage, with the music, beautiful.
I really enjoy this series guys ! Thanks for sharing it with us
I look so much forward to your videos! You guys are so fun!
Oh my gosh..beautiful scenery! I hope to do that some day!
We were at Haines 17-19 Aug. Just missed you. We've been out for 5 months and now on our way home next week in Ontario. Great VLOGS.
Oh the suspense!!! Killin’ me and Lovin’ it at the same time!?!
Can't wait to see what happens. What a cliffhanger.
Awesome footage! Thanks for sharing!
Love the cliffhanger--your videos are always beautifully shot...
Thank you very much for your videos!!! my wife and I have been looking at TT's and your videos have been a huge reason why we are going to be shopping for a trailer when we get into a larger city in a couple weeks. You have been a huge part of our deciding to budget and move ahead on a purchase. hopefully we will be on the road next spring!!! (it gets -58F where i live, so the season is over here). Thank you again!!!
Alright, you guys convince us to RV travel to Alaska. You guys made it worth seeing. Thank you. Love your channel.
Love the drone footage on the boat Marc! You left us at a cold hanger!
Incredible footage!
Ended with a cliffhanger! Now we have to wait until next Sunday!? Nice episode guys!
OMG!!! You Guys are killing us 😆, great cliffhanger 😉🤙🏽
You rock !!!!!! Thank you
I laughed so hard at the TBC... Thanks for another great Sunday episode!
Epic drone footage!!!
Life as an adventure. I can't wait to start

OoOh. That's good! Just left us hangin'!! I loved the Lulu Belle footage. So neat that you were able to use the drone. I would've been worried to lose it. LOL. Looking forward to the next episode, as always!!
Great video and perfect music for our cliff hanger!
Dry camping at the border? Something I need to add to the bucket list.....not! Great videography Mark and Trish. Really enjoy you videos.
So many great shots and ideas for our trip next year. I was so close to hitting the road full time when I was blessed with the care of three beautiful grand daughters. They met with unfortunate circumstances and keeping them together was, of course, my first priority. I truly thought my "daydream" was over at that point until I found so many full time families on the road. What a beautiful way to educate the next generation. So we are in the process of customizing our bus. And planning the "unplanned trip" of a lifetime..LOL. Just love you guys. And not all our borders have hours...lol...most bigger crossings are open round the clock. Hope you filled up on fuel while you were here as our dollar sure makes it worth it for our American friends. Thank you for such beautiful footage and great info and trivia. Cant wait to say I've done it too. Happy travels to you all … because of course "It's A Wander-FULL Life" indeed!

That's great to hear. You'll create memories for a lifetime. Tonight's video starts right at the border. Regarding cost, Canadian fuel is about $5.43 gal and US is $3.20 on average. Groceries are our biggest expense and CA is about 10% more after our exchange. Overall, it's a bit more expensive to us to travel to CA, but it's been worth it every time.
Oh no! You missed one of the most beautiful drives up there! When I left from Haines Junction to Haines I figured a few hours. It was so beautiful, it took me the better part of a day to do it. I’m also sorry that you didn’t know that some smaller border crossings close during the night. It’s the same case going into the lower 48 as well. Also, your footage on the cruise was amazing!!!
Love the part about the Orca being a dolphin dressed up for dinner lol!
I love you guys so down to earth! Be safe out there
Looking forward to seeing how the border goes.
Great video guys. We are now in PA. Touring Philly tomorrow. Next day is Valley Forge. Gettysburg was awesome.
@ 2:36 The Cornelia Marie - Captain Phil!!! (RIP)
Marc, lift up the center console, look under the lid, two places to put pens, even pink if you like.
NICE and some great info too.
Good thing you listened yo Tricia! Mom always knows best! :)
Glad I had to wait until Friday to watch Sunday's episode so I only have 2 days to wait for the next one! I am so impressed with your videos, I don't know how you do it - you're gifted, Marc (and hardworking) - a great storyteller. All of it, I just can't say it enough, you're really good at this! Amazing that you were able to get that drone footage while on a moving boat!?! Thanks for the entertaining videos and for sharing your family and adventures with us. Love it!

aWWWW nuts. Left us hanging. To be Continued. Love you guys.
Beautiful footage guys! Love it. Alaska will be on our list of places to RV. For now though, we need to get some experience under our belt. We just started RVing this year.
Who knew that a border would or could be closed! I thought the border was always open. Great video... keep it up.
Wow, this video was amazing! Loved the boat ride through the ice. I was in awe the whole time of the ice and the wild life. Couldn't believe how close the boat got to the "cave". Was amazed about the gun and the border, that was pretty easy. Then about died when the border was closed and y'all had to spend the night there. It's going to be a long week waiting to see how that went! lol Great video! Hugs, Brenda
