E2 Pumbaa Update and the journey continues
Christmas is fast approaching. You guys have many options. Have you settled on one yet?
@@BrentFry Christmas in Baja, Mexico!
@gmitchell1963 woo woo, very exciting! And a bit warmer too 👍
Tku for sharing, what a great wildlife adventure! Fantastic to get that time with the bobcat.
Great photos
Fantastic sharing tku. No mention of health issues so far, so I hope that means you are both staying jolly well!
Brent, we are going well, with no health for either of us so far (touch wood/head)! Gavin
Beautiful
Thank you for your kind comments, we are pleased that you are enjoying our videos 😀
Going backwards till I catch up 😂 that Montreal camping is sweet!
Just found the channel! Good job, safe travels Salem is crazy. Love finding those beautiful quiet places.
I have watched it already. I am very limited as to what I can do at the moment.
Rest up!
Tku again team. Inverness is clearly appropriately named when compared to its Scottish counterpart.😂
It seems that the Montreal subway has the Paris (France) system with trains on air tyres.
Thank you, a wonderful synopsis of that part of your journey. Lovely to see all the family members. Safe travel, love Mum
Well done 👍 thank you for another great leg of your journey. Mt Rushmore with the four Presidents is very impressive, Bad lands is very barren and suits the name. Lovely gentle countryside, where the Amish are, a great contrast of scenery in this leg. Niagara is very impressive. Love Mum
Washington State is so beautiful! I just love your Land Rover camper! Beautiful State park in Montana!
That's blasphemy!!! 😜
Some serious kms this leg of your trip eh! Tku for finding the time to do this while in Germany. 1. I hope pumbaa wasnt too sad about Gavin drooling over the aeroplane and tractor engines! 2. Badlands. Some serious geology and results of climatic forces there. Am very pleased not to have been a human in that area when the latter happened! 3. Fantastic camera work on both sides of the border re the falls tku. Gave us a genuine sense of their power and majestic nature.
Another great installment tku! You've been very cultural, even going to the ballet 😂 I luv your corn-y jokes! Even when you are having to slug it out, you're still having a whale of a good time! 👍
Also what are the dimensions of the camper? It seems just right for your trip?
Overall the rig (truck and camper) is just shy of 5.8m (19 ft) long and 2m (6.5 ft) wide. A very manageable size for our travels.
it was great meeting you guys south of Anch AK, maybe see you this somewhere south this winter!! great video! Tim and Denise and Ruby the dog.
Hi guys. Yes, it was great meeting you south of Anchorage. Thanks for the comments on the video. Hopefully, we can meet up in the south this winter. Gavin and Tracey.
Could you give us a small kiwi tour of Pemba?
I am working on a tour video, hope to get that out soon!
what did you eat at the road kill restaurant???
More awesome scenery sharing tku very much 👍😀. You must be starting to really pile the km's on Pumbaa this trip...any idea how many so far?
Hi Brent, yes we are piling on the kms. We have travelled about 18,000km so far. Currently on day 98!
First to view this episode! LOVE IT! Drove up the side of Salmon Glacier! Fantastic! Also stopped at Jade City! Interesting !
😊wonderful, you have certainly had plenty of variety of scenery on your travels. ❤ Mum
More great scenery. You guys are really doing it tough eh 😉🤣
I was going to pass on this video but the music drew me in. Great video too! I probably won’t drive it but have a good view of it anyway! Thanks
Awesome super I like it pro 🙏👌👍🇮🇳
Juneau is the state capital, Anchorage is just the largest city in alaska.
View number 333!!! :) Happy Travels!
Been there a couple of times! Beautiful!
Glacier National Park is Breathtaking!
I drove the Alcan Hwy. Took the TOP of the WORLD highway on the way back to Canada! LOVED IT!
More awesome scenes and great experiences, tku sooo much for continuing to share your adventure!
Welcome to Canada and US. Perfect rig and camper. Tell us more about set up, engine (is it 1HZ or 1HDt, AT or MT?) What makes 80 series better then 76-78-79 series or Patrol GU/GQ?
I have been asked for a rig run down, so I will put together a video some time in the near future. To answer your questions the truck is a 94 Land Cruiser 80 series 1FZ gas engine. Why? In NZ it is a cheaper platform than the diesel 80 seriwa and significantly cheaper than a used 75 or 79 series and much more comfortable! Plus more parts are available in North America. Why Land Cruiser and not Patrol - the 80 series is over engineered and doesn't rust the same, also more after market support for 80 series in NZ.
That's a lot of mosquitos. Thanks for sharing.
This really beautiful keep the videos coming!
Pumbaa needs a kiwi sticker? Could also put on hwy sign posts?
Thank you for all your kind comments. Yes, Pumbaa is a Kiwi (lol!). We had planned to update the graphics on the truck before the truck was shipped, but we ran out of time. We have plans to add graphics to either side of the camper and a map on the heater box on the rear. We will also be adding some appropriate NZ logos. In the meantime, lots of interesting things to distract us on the road.
Thank you and happy trails!
What a terrific thing to continue your trip some would have cancelled everything and stayed home!!
Where to from Alaska pumbaa?
Omg is Pumba a kiwi?
😊 thank goodness good luck nice view
We don’t pick the weather mother nature throws at us. But we make do with the right gear.
This is very interesting. We really appreciate your cool camper! Could you give us a tour?
Just beautiful,thanks for sharing. ❤ Mum xx
🙂👍👍👍
Did this road in a Jeep Laredo in June 2016. A Honda civic was not far behind me. Road was in great condition except for a few miles of construction/repair a few miles south of Deadhorse. I met motorcycles, bicycles, and one guy walking (not recommended in polar bear country).
Nice video of your trip to Deadhorse. I made the drive a month ago. Plenty of ice still on the Arctic Ocean. Looks like you had some thick fog to deal with on the Atigun Pass.
Great footage. Surprised your videos don’t get more views. Nice rig you have. I never drive my own rig on that road. The calcium chloride used for dust control and gravel binding is horrible stuff for vehicles.
Thanks for your kind words. We publish these videos primarily for family and friends. Hopefully, others will find them useful or entertaining but we haven't been promoting the videos on other social media channels, I agree with your comments about the calcium chloride, we wash thoroughly under the vehicle when possible. The truck was built with this travel in mind and if it's a choice between not going and preserving the vehicle, we will always choose the journey.
Thanks for the reply. Enjoy your travels and be safe. That is an epic drive. I’m glad you had the opportunity to visit this great place. Well, not so great in the winter. It can be a hard place to live.
Wow! More amazing, different scenery! You won’t want to come home 😮 love Mum
Big congrats on ticking off all those milestones...and having no dead horses in the making of this video!
My family travels every year across Canada from bc to mb. I am familiar with the roads. 😅
Also I’ve travelled to Juneau ak 10 times.
Tku again for another great installment. Getting pretty flash there....complete with drone footage now eh! Nice to see the local bird life, mosquitoes, didn't carry it or you away! 😂 Had a good laugh tku at Tracey City Limit, had this image of you two mimicking Tina & Ike Turner's Nutbush....complete with wigs! 😉
