Old Toyota guy here. I'm absolutely loving you kids adventure. In fact, I bought a 2000 4 Runner, to build into an overlander. The only complaint, I have, no subtitles on this video. My 88 year old,deaf mother,loves you kids and she's confused as to what you are saying. Love you kids!

As an almost life-long American, I still need a calculator to figure out how high 4800 meters is. Damn, that's high. The one thing I notice in each of your videos, is the ubiquitous dogs and chickens. They really are everywhere. And the dogs understand Spanish, who knew? One thing I have wondered about though-out the series is money. Does everyone accept US dollars or do you exchange money at each country? When you speak of the experiences that you have been through, I can't help but relate to the feeling. I believe that the beauty and inaccessibility of some places add to the allure, but also simple sights are enough to free your mind of the daily banalities of life and let that feeling of wonder shine through. As much as you guys experience, I know there are still schedules, the search for camping, food and fuel as well as safety concerns and maintaining your YT channel. For all you guys do, thank you again, If I would have seen this channel when I was young and free, I would probably be somewhere in the Amazon hunting with a blowgun.

The dogs.. chickens.. pigs.. and now sheep as we get further south are OUT OF CONTROL 😂 obstacles that will make sure you’re never sleepy while driving. We have been told of countries accepting American Cash, but haven’t found anyone yet. In each country we withdraw the currency from ATMs. If we have left overs, we get it exchanged at the border crossings. Also, the dogs understanding Spanish seems weird to us as well.. why is that? 😅

Mine is bikepacking with the dogs from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, Labrador, Quebec, & New Brunswick, in a circle back to home. That or anything in BC.

Greetings from the still warmish south Okanagan where it's only -3 this morning at 368m. Honestly 4600m is tough to wrap my head around and then to see fox and whitetail running around there as well is so cool. Crazy to think the whitetail's cousins run north into the Yukon isn't it? The music choice and volume is wonderful as usual and your narration is spot on. All of that make a difference to the overall quality so kudos for paying attention to the little things. Safe travels you two.

I wish I would have been blessed with such a wonderful partner in my life, but alas... it just wasn't in my cards... Now... getting back to an obvious observation I made when u 1st started off south of our borders... You mentioned that Tecate is trash beer. Bro... IT IS!!! There's sooooo many better Mexican beers... im sure by now you've tried MANY Mexican beers... and yes, im aware ur WAAAAAY South of old Mexico 🇲🇽 now... but listen... try Pacifico. That was always my fave when we went to our beloved Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️... we loved Mexico!!! Its the people... they are so warm and friendly... basically... but as a whole... id say Mexico 🇲🇽 is waaaay friendlier than The United States, or (as you say) even Canada 🇨🇦... I plan on retiring to Mexico in a decade or so... most likely, Las Barriles, B.C.S., MX ❤🎉😊
