Joey, I went to the highlands in September driving a mid sized SUV. Did you cross either F249 or Holmsa in this van? I thought only the big boys could safely cross the bigger rivers.

I went up to the crossing of Krossa but not go over it. That’s where I saw an SUV flooded (see my other video on off road camper canning) 😂

@@Joey_Helms I saw that other video of the flooded vehicle. Unbelievable. I’m not familiar with Krossa, but I saw that at some point you flew near Maelifell, so I assumed you must’ve crossed Holmsa. Anyway, I checked with happy campers, and they don’t allow their vans to cross the large rivers, so I’ll be going with Arctic Trucks.

@@wwdagger Oh yeah, I did but waited for two SUVs to cross to see the depth and they stuck around until I crossed. See 7:46 Wasn't as bad at that time, but certainly can get deeper. So care is needed. Was definitely the trickiest crossing I have done. 6:51 shows the end part of that crossing

We know you had your ups and downs on this crazy adventure but are so excited, happy, and proud of the work you were able to create. Amazing!

Excellent video and great Iceland travel tips!

Very revealing. Thank's for the Tipps.

Came back from Iceland 2 weeks ago. Did laugavegur and fimmvörðuháls trails with tent. Absolutely awesome country but yes, preparation is key!

Absolutely gorgeous footage! Well done!

I will be there this summser, thanks for your information, it helps me a lot.

Thank you Joey! New subscribers, headed to Iceland for the first time from Canada in 2023 ... Can't wait to get our adventure started!

Great Vlog Joey, returning to Iceland again in 2023 after a trip around the ring road in 2021. This time my daughter and I will be venturing into Westfjords and the Highlands to explore the wilderness, we have obviously rented a 4x4 and your advice, especially with regard to traversing water is invaluable. It will be in August so hopefully good conditions and won’t be venturing too far off the beaten track but F roads will be used, confident enough driving on them but your advice regarding water is very much taken on board. Can’t wait to be there and photograph such beauty, safely of course 👍📷

WOW !!! That's awesome.

All correct! Sheep on Iceland allways (!) come in groups of three, if you only see one be prepared that two others are not far away ;-)! We managed to get a flat tire with our Duster in a river crossing but luckiely made it out of the river (July 2021). Landmannalaugur! Porsmörk! Hekla!

Great video ! Your drone shots are awesome 😍 Just a little comment on the insurance: You can actually get an insurance for damages on the car (even on the motor) while crossing a river. I found only one company which can provide it : lotus car rental. When you get a big 4x4, it's maybe not very useful but it's very reassuring with a Duster !

As an Icelander I was ready to get angry because of the title and thumbnail seemingly supporting off road driving. But it turned out to be a very beautiful and informative video and you clearly stated that it's illegal and why. Good video!

Hi Joey I was told off roading was illegal because of the length of time it takes for moss and vegetation to grow on icelands volcanic rock. Was this an actual designated of road track which you can not deviate from or was i given incorrect advice? Thank you, another awesome film and love the Sir David Attenbrough voice over. Well done.

@Joey_Helms

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, you have to stay on the designated off road tracks called F-Roads. This is just simplified language because even these f roads in many places are not really roads but more a pre ridden path haha

Thanks for the awesome video. I wanna ask, did you have good enough internet to stream videos/send emails while you were in the highlands?

Joey how far across would you estimate the bowl of molten lava is on the top of volcano? It's hard to tell from the pictures and video... I was thinking maybe 500' to 1000'... Tx!

At 5:56, your van cross a river and 7 or 8 small water falls just next to your car. The drone footage at this place is just epic. Where is this place called? On which f-road?

Toyota land cruiser 4x4 is good enough for icelandic highlands and its rivers?

Where was that place at the very beginning of the video?

Who did the voice over, or is it a "borrowed" David Attenborough one?
