Dang you and your overland vid find! I have been wathing the alaska one. Way cool!
#2
You haven't seen those yet?!

You need to watch them all, seriously. Get through the Alaska series and, then start on the South America one. The Alaska season is amazing. They just released E01 of the S America season yesterday. I met these guys a couple years ago at the expo in Flagstaff and they are awesome people. Very down to earth, family oriented people.

Nope hadnt seen them before. But it is cool to watch now that I have been in that area. Would LOVE to go back and see it with more time. I know Chris wants to do 4 week run but I just dont see a way of making that happen.

Yeah, doing a 4 week run up there and back is a dream of mine. It's a far off goal, but still definitely a goal I think I can reach.

To me, what makes the videos so great other then obviously the wheeling, is that you can tell they are just real people.. there isn't a script, the trip never goes quite as planned but they don't cut all that out so it looks like a perfect trip.

Cool thing is, if you're driving... all of the things you get to see on the way up and back.

Yep i want to drive/camp the entire way. Camping in the Canada wilderness should be fun :)

Could probably do a 3 week, 1 week drive up, 1 week at a cabin in alaska, 1 week drive home

To me, 3 weeks seems like pushing it a little... It's once in a lifetime trip, I plan on taking my time :)

I dont know that I like the South America one too much yet...
#10
I haven't watched the most recent yet... but so far it sucks big time compared to the first season. It's so slow, and no action
#11
Bob, you been keeping up with the South America series?
#12
Yep. I think toyota killed it. They need to go back to the style they has for AK
#13
Yeah, I agree..


Two cool things though was the guy they ran into that crashed his bike who was a friend, and then the special forces guys. Pretty awesome.
