I think teaming up was a wise decision. It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female, traveling alone in such an isolated area can be dangerous. Kudos to you
Yeh, I also worry for Noraly, Itchy Boots channel, doing the trip solo on a motorbike.
I agree. One injury...I know Eva has a cell phone, but I would guess coverage is spotty even along a well traveled road. You'd have to have a satellite phone to make sure of coverage, and they're expensive.
Agreed, but safer than traveling through Little Rock. (…rest of Arkansas is very nice if one stays away from Pine Bluff and West Memphis-Memphis).
@@allen480 Pack some heat. LOL
@@richardhawkins2248 45-70
Recently, it felt like you are overwhelmed and a bit lonely so it's really great to see the spark in your eyes, excitement iny our voice and this big smile again! Big hugs!
Aw thanks Anna ❤
@@evazubeck Ever seen a UFO/ Bigfoot or anything paranormal? I ask this since you’re in the woods quite often, so maybe you woulda spotted something neat
Eva, you made the right decision! I and I'm sure all of your followers are relieved you found some traveling companions across such a vast expanse of wilderness. Watching this video was so much fun! Looking forward to your Alaska adventure.
I need to agree. After watching Busem przez świat and listening to some podcast when Karol was saying how dangerous it was in Alaska I was constantly thinking about your safty. I'm sure you know what you are doing (to some extent as a new in such environment) and that fear is always greater if you are not one involved, but it's good to have someone who at least can give a hand in case of troubles.
@@magdulkacz Powinnas obejrzec film ''Into the wild'. Polecam 🙂
I know I am, other Rover buddies. Oui Oui!
I travelled Alaska alone, and even on remote backroads that I took for hikes/mountain climbs, there are others coming by every so often.... but it's definitely much better to have another party right at your side with you. 👍
İt is 03:07 am middle of the night i'm here to worried about potatoes of Tom 😂
I've travelled solo plenty, but it's the people you meet along the journey that share the adventurous spirit that make the journey awesome!
And fun you would never have alone. The love of adventure and travel with others is like the friendship and fellowship that accompanies any other group of like minded people that are kind, genital & loving such as birders, backpackers, etc., gives you a link to each other that is hard to find in motley groups.
I watch your channel because of you, not who you do or don't travel with. You have a beautiful, warm, and engaging personality and your videos are enjoyable to watch and relaxing at the same time. So continue being you! ❤ 🦋
There is no shame in traveling with others, it’s still an adventure! Nothing better than sharing it with others!!❤️
Happy to see that you joined fellow travellers! Regarding your thoughts about your solo status, i mean the thing that keeps me watching is the joy and adventures that you keep sharing.
And not the fact that you are travelling alone and facing a lot of trouble or potential danger.
Stay safe and enjoy!
Same here 👍👍
I love it when Vilk alerts you that he wants to go in the truck.
He knows that is his home. His safe place. His den.
So sweet.
Yup. He was literally brought up since a young puppy in the truck, so it will always be his home!
It is such a wonderful experience to live like that, in nature, eating simple meals, with your dog and friends that pop sporadically, so you are not alone all the time. What a gift it is to be content with those things and be filled with beautiful scenery, fresh air, water, great smells, and textures of nature. That for me is to be rich. Love your channel.
Definitely a good call traveling in a convoy. It's totally possible to solo travel all the way to Prudhoe Bay, but you'd have to play it ultra safe and dare I say boring. This way, you get to have amazing experiences along the way.
Eva you should get a ramp for Vilk. It will save your back and his legs. And when he is old, it is so good to allready be used to walking the ramp. My dog is 13,5 years old now, and it was not easy to learn her walk the ramp at her old age.
Absolutely agree ...put a ramp he come out ...the German Shepherd has problems getting older ...mine was in a wheel chair his last 2 years
I agree. There will come a time when Vilk will be too much for Eva to carry in and out of the Overland. A ramp is in their future!
I’ll get one when I can no longer bring Vilk up and down, although honestly I enjoy the exercise 😉
He will be more than able of getting in and out on his own B4 much longer. Ramp is just more weight and space taken away from real needs and you'd still be lifting and moving the ramp.
@@robertlawler1387 There is a folding ramp that is the size of a small business suitcase, and it is always good to have just in case🙂 I believe Eva lifts him out of the car also to protect his young joints, but he will become heavy soon enough🙂
Honestly, I am glad to see you traveling with someone else in the Alaskan territory. Yes we have been there and it is always better to have someone else in the event something goes wrong. Also, it is interesting to “meet” the interesting people YOU meet on your travels, their perspectives, cultures, and personalities.
Eva that was brilliant! So so pleased you joined up with those other travellers, lovely people, like yourself! How much fun were you and Vilk having and just seeing those three Defenders on the road together - what a sight, what an inspiration you all are!! Thank you for sharing that amazing part of your journey!! Absolute WOW WOW WOW! ❤❤
Love your videos. That pup is your biggest fan. I can hear him calling for you when he’s not there with you. He’s a huge asset. Dogs are the best friend anyone can have. Listen to him and act accordingly. They got great sniffers - better than our eyes.
I love Wilk, I traveled across country in a van back in the 1990s with a German shepherd puppy about 6 months old (he since passed, a great dog). So this video series is very nostalgic for me.
As a Land Rover owner, a single dog mom and aspiring adventurer, this is one of the best videos I have ever seen in my entire life. Thankyou so much, Eva for everything you do. I love you.
"Dog mom" lmfao

20:30 "Somehow......there's just a good energy here"
Looks how happy she looks finally getting some companions on her trip. OMG SO CUTE!
Agreed! I was getting such an anxious vibe in the recent videos from Eva. Glad she found companions. We humans are tribal animals after all and such an isolation is never good for mental health…
Love that you found some like-minded people to travel with. It is far more fun to share experiences, i.e., stressful situations become less stressful and funny situations more memorable and funnier! You are a wonderful adventurer!
As a lifelong Alaskan you guys really made the right call entering Alaska on the Top of the World highway and the Taylor highway definitely the more senic option. Albeit in my opinion it's hard not to have a senic route in Alaska.
I'm glad to see you are serious about your dog's training and also that you have friends with you through your travels in Canada. Good luck. Thanks for all the wonderful footage.
Eva, it was lovely meeting you in vancouver! I was the girl with the blue hair who gave you the whole foods gift card. Would have loved to have stayed to see odyssey, but had a 2 hour bus ride to get back home and i had to work in the morning. So i took off after the Q&A. Thanks for doing the meetup, enjoy the rest of your trip! 😁
I am so glad to see you this happy with the others, especially after your fear and hesitation right before departure. 💜 You got this, thank you for sharing your adventures 💜
Thanks Tasmin! Super happy to be travelling with such a fun crew!
Smart to be part of a group for such a long, lonely stretch of travel. Share the burdens, share the joy.
I am happy for you Eva! Your travelling buddies seem so nice and you sure are lucky to have them with you in this wilderness. Sharing experiences and knowledge is always important, specially when you don’t know the terrain. Good luck and bon voyage 🥰
300Tdi is a pretty much overcooled engine, but you definitely can cook with it. You have to put the potato near to the turbo, close to the exhaust manifold, there is much more heat around there. :)
Surely the decision to travel with your new friends is the best choice you could make and, as far as I could tell even Vilk is happy with your choice. Simply I just love your puppy. I wish you all a very safe trip and only good roads in Alaska
I like Tom's build, as a fellow Kiwi I might be bias 😂👍🏼 but I genuinely like it, safe travels guys! How amazing is Vilk, what a good boy 👏🏼
Excellent choice Eva there is great safety in small groups. You just increased your safety by 1000%!
I traveled to Alaska about 5 years ago. Went up through Montana and back through Washington. I was able to get wifi at the visitor centers they have in most towns. I camped at the provincial parks throughout Canada. You found a nice group to travel with and still had time by yourself while driving
As you get up into the more northern parts of Alaska and perpetual darkness (we are heading into winter now!) having a group travel together with multiple vehicles could be a lifesaver. Roads on the map could be far worse or even outright dangerous in real life. Make sure you bring extra fuel, and some means to transfer fuel and power from vehicle to vehicle, and at least a couple (among the group of you) powerful radios and GPS so as to be able to call for help if stranded or trapped.
Wow, Vilk is so well trained! And so beautiful!
Hha we’ve been working hard
Eva it very cool to see you meet up with your new friends Matilda, Nick and Tom . Very cool to see a Kiwi traveler. Cos i am from New Zealand too . I follow you and Itchy boots and you both traveling the same way, it is interesting to compare your experiences especially when crossing boarders
So nice to see how well you have done with Vilk! Making sure he is lifted in and out many people don't follow that rule and end up with a dog who has hip issues so good for you and Vilk! Awesome Job 👍 can't wait for your next video
I've lost count of how many times I shed happy tears throughout this video. Just stunning, Eva.
Finding a travel buddy or two for long distance road travel is rewarding in so many ways. I have traveled the USA on business/pleasure and teaming up always made it more fun. Can’t wait for the next chapter!
With all of the potential for things to go wrong on a trip like that , i am glad to see that you are travelling with others
I just love your enthusiasm and also how you openly share your inner journey whatever the internal “weather” might be along with your beautiful physical journey. Not a fake bone in your body.
TOM!! He is like me - simple and basic! Loving how you are all teaming up for this trip - you DO need others for a trip like this!!
Your video production is getting better every year, as it's even possible. The little clips on the next video, the intro, the vibes and music, rhythm... you're truly my fav TH-camr out there. Keep it up!
I agree, best travel videos ever!
She hired a film editor

What a fricken gorgeous dog , a true Sable German shepherd
I was thinking Belgian Malinois.
@@Noodleboy56 Thats what I thought.
Oh Eva, what can I say to make you believe how happy I am for you!! I’m so very relieved that you had people to travel with so you wouldn’t be alone!! The beautiful sights!! The northern lights!! I know how anxious you were to do this trip and how worried you were!! I’m so very thankful that my prayers have been answered for you and you haven’t had to be alone and have very much enjoyed your trip!! God bless you and May God keep you safe during the rest of your trip!!❤️😊🙏🏻😭
I wish I could find people around me that like to do things like this. Where I live in the USA, I don't see this kind of life happening. I enjoy the wilderness and simple luxuries of life. I salute you and your bravery. Stay safe and give your doggie a hug for me. A dog makes trips so much more fun and less lonely. Smart to have a protector on your journey's.
We travelled the Alaskan Highway in 1979, when I was 7 years old. We made a family road trip. It was much more isolated...but now ages later I still remember that trip of a lifetime!!!! ( We were parents and 4 kids)
Strength in numbers in remote areas is wise. Thanks for sharing.
It's cool to watch my two favorite female adventure channels, Eva and Itchy Boots, both heading for the same destination. But with very different perspectives and experiences.
Alaska, here we come! 😁
I think the TH-camr 'Mav' is heading to Alaska too, could be a cool collab?! Safe travels...
We're with you!!💖
I do have to say that you are REALLY good at this dog stuff. You have managed to train your puppy pretty darn good, way better than I seem to get with mine in that amount of time. Just remembering back when it was a new thing and you were so nervous you could not do it, well you did it and are doing great.
I gotta say i love the camera shots to the beautiful music, the vibes, and drone shots of your journey. Vilke and friends are great companions! Seeing the northern lights is pretty special. And I'm glad you get to see and enjoy Canada. I must have missed the border crossing in the last one?
This was a really smart decision! Being a team increased the safety factor at least 10 times for all of you.
Vilk is SO cute. I love your relationship with him, and how well you care for him.
I am so happy you found traveler companions! Like-minded people! Sharing this adventure sounds wonderful! Breaking bread and sharing stories around the fire has to be so amazing! I am looking forward to the next video!
That’s awesome to have a group on such a drive. I drove from Ottawa to Labrador on my first ever solo road trip (this channel was definitely an inspiration for that lol) and it would have been nice to have some people to travel with on some of those stretches. It’s just a nice safety thing on a very remote trip.
So excited to watch the rest of your travels.
Just the last stretch, from Ottawa to the Manic-5 dam is on asphalt. I've could have done it in my sport car.
Loved watching your travels to Alaska. Just want to tell you as the owner of three Australian Shepard you have done an amazing job with Vilk. You and Vilk are quite a team. I'm glad your traveling with other people, and you look like your enjoying yourself. By the way I like the inside of your rig, it looks very homey and comfortable. Safe travels to you and puppy.
Eva you're a great storyteller! I enjoy your stories with or without company. I love how Vilk has become such a loving and relaxed puppy!
Updated:
I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living.
I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc.
People need to know what up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living.
I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself.
Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this.
I feel that you , and others TH-camrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful.
I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors.
I shared this with another traveler as I watched their TH-cam channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others.

*Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger
*vehicle battery jumper cables
*Vehicle Jumper cables
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER*
*vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions.
Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months.
Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle.
If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating.
Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures.
Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks.
Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive.
What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed...
*Keep a Fire extinguisher handy
*Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful
Keep a First Aid kit with
Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration.

Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console
*Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others.
*A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking.
Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons.
Don’t forget to bring
Bear Spray
Pepper spray
Where is allowed
Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you
If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc.
However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings.
Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks.
Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc.
Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions.
*VERY IMPORTANT*
*WINTER AWARENESS*
I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services.
Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines.
*Your Safety is Important*
*PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start.
Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing.
Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle.
Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold.
In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead.
*Safety is Paramount*
*Your Life is Important*
*You want to Live to Travel another Day*
*So Be Safe*
*Stay Alert*
*Keep your vehicle gas filled*
Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty.
Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty.
Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on.
Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant,
Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze).
You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads.
*WINTER AWARENESS*
In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions.
Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions.
Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving.
Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle.
Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very.
Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc
Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump.
Keep towing insurance to Be Safe, your will have it if you ever need it.
It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling.
Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors.
Keep Enjoying Yourself,
Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature
Just..Please continue to

So glad you have companions. You will be much safer! And, it will bring a new dynamic to your adventures.
I'm so relieved you're not alone! God Bless you and your travel companions! I hope you have an amazing experience 🤗❤💕
We are so happy you chose to join others on your Alaskan journey! So fun following you all on these new travels.
Don’t tell my 3 dogs but I am wildly in love with Vilk. He’s a beautiful dog!
My wife and I traveled to Alaska before we had kids. It was so awesome! I can't imagine the experiences you've had! If you're coming to South Carolina let me know.
Love this girl's energy!! Much love and light! Safe travels
I’ve been following you for while and have not written before but I need to add my “five cents”. My dad was an engineer working on the pipelines in Alaska, and from what he said, it’s easy to get into predicaments. Be vigilant , don’t let your guard down , take care of yourself and your pup
By the way, love your spirit and your love to enjoy life to its fullest.
I agree with him, quite strongly. It is about to become VERY COLD. Much much colder than you could possibly be ready for. FREEZING COLD. Be ready, even then you will not be. Good travels. Remember, it will become VERY, VERY COLD.
She has already completed that whole leg and is back again, her videos usually come out after the fact. So any advice unfortunately is too late most of the time.
Always admire your independence and brave nature but it's really fun to see you traveling with others once again :)
Smart move, travelling together. As others have written, it's a long way and pretty empty of people. Better safe than sorry. And it looks like you've go good people with you. Enjoy. Beautiful country!
Trick with the potato is to put it on top of the exhaust manifold, no where else will get hot enough, and on most vehicles theres heat shields preventing you getting too near the manifold.
That was truly amazing …. I was hanging on to every moment of your trip……… the scenery… the lovely people you are meeting…. So many are traveling and having a trip of a lifetime like you…. And of course your Vilk so much a part of you and just adores you…. SO looking forward to your next vlog xx
He’s such a sweetie ❤ I’m happy you’re enjoying!
Kia ora Tom!!! Great to see another Kiwi on your show, what lovely companions. I was worried about when you were going to travel Alaska due to the cold / remoteness. Bears are so scary, but would be so cool to see one. You should travel to New Zealand, no predators here and would love to see your take on our country!
TEAMING up but really just sharing some time together is always smart and healthy. It helps that they are all very nice people. BTW Toms rig was the sharpest and Vilk Is really turning into a handsome smart companion.
I’m happy you’re joining the others for this section of your trip. Three Defender’s running together is just perfect.
Barbara and I are happy for you. You found perfect companions on your journey. Pictures of you and your new found friends around a camp fire, sharing food, in beautiful locations are bliss. Enjoy 😎😘
Yeah, it's good seeing this particular travel adventure of yours together with Matild, Nick and Tom.. Besides, most of the times it's fun sharing memories with other like minded fellas though it's also nice to be alone enjoying your peaceful existence with Vilk😊.. Enjoy
From your last videos I feel you have been feeling quite overwhelmed with your Alaska stretch, so it is really nice you found some company, gave you a great boost to keep pushing through! The universe provides what you need :) Love your videos, Eva, never miss one
Well said Sofia
Glad to see you doing so well, also happy to hear you joined other folks. Stay safe 🙏
Eva it looks like you and your alarm system/body guard/friend are having so much fun.
Ive wanted that nomadic wondering life style for many years now. Emily and I are about to embark on a seven day cruise/seven day railway adventure up through inside passage then up north through Alaska from Whittier.
Have fun, be safe.
In the Army, we never really used our engines to *cook*, but it was very useful for keeping food warm. Gotta shove it down near the exhaust manifold :)
I am so happy for you that you found some fellow travelers. To share this amazing experience and journey with. You both can learn so much from each other from this experience. I love your set up the best. Please Stay Safe, Happy And Healthy. Have A Wonderful Day. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey
Eva, I am so relieved to see you traveling with your new found friends. To be honest I was starting to worry about your solo trip so far north alone. Much better to have company! BC is absolutely gorgeous and grandiose!!! Can't wait for next week's video.
So happy for you and Bilk that have company and having a great time with your new mates 🧡
My favourite Camper is the one with the most space Eva's.
I like the comfortability of Eva's rig.
Bless up
Watching from Sydney
Well that was one of the prettiest sights I have seen in a long time. The scenery too.
I'm relieved that you aren't traveling alone. Gorgeous shots from your drone in this video.
I love your vids, seeing that scenery you are experiencing is so amazing. I never realized that we had such natural beauty right next door to us in between our mainland on the way to Alaska. I personally am glad you have some travel companions now. I still can't get over the fact you went into the middle east by yourself. You are an incredible woman indeed. I feel less stress for you now that you are not alone. Thank you. I look forward to the next and future videos.
Eva, so glad you and Vilk have found some like-minded travelers to adventure with. As a resident of Alaska, I was a bit concerned about you traveling this way alone, especially this time of year as winter is coming. Great video by the way. I'm looking forward to the next adventure. Happy travels!
Alaska is beautiful and wild. As a mom i would sleep better at night knowing my daughter was with a group of friends ❤
This was a great video. Very soothing to watch and to answer your question…my favorite rig is yours especially since you have the amazing Vilk in the back ❤️🐶. Can’t wait to see the next one!
Watching your travel adventures makes me forget what's happening here in Europe. Keep up the good work Ewa!
An anti-fascist and tyranny-free Europe will prevail! I'm hoping the same for the USA.
Wow, what a blessing! I was worried about you on this trip. Teaming up with that beautiful French couple and the other happy traveler will be good for you and them. Now I’m really happy. The excitement grows. You’re still solo, it’s not like you’re married to them, you’re all just caravanning together. But still be very careful out alone and with Vilk on this journey, too many wild predators out there, can suddenly appear. Love you.
I think its a great idea to team up with others. Take it as part of your journey and it brings a well needed company. Vilk has grown well. Am happy for you. Enjoy the journey and stay safe.
Amazing footage. Glad you teamed up with others on your trek. They seem so nice, Tom and his potato just cracked me up. This is one of my goals to travel through Alaska.
You are so fortunate Eva. I would love to travel the way you do! You're right in harmony with nature and your surroundings. Enjoy and be careful!
I am so happy for you, Eva! I know you could take this journey alone- you can do anything! But I think it’s really smart to team up and I think you’ll really enjoy having company too while still finding time to spend alone ❤
Hope borders go well for you after the last one. And hope you are not too sad after the trip to get used to being alone again, just file all the memories for both
Nice travel in group Eva. It's always fun to be with other people to learn from each other and share adventures with them. Congratulations on that venture! You did great training Vilk and he is amazing! Stay safe and have fun. ❤😍🙏🏻🎉💐
So glad you found wonderful companions particularly for this stretch! Thankyou for sharing your adventures and look forward to next week. Brought some serenity to this evening! Safe and exciting travels Eva!
The baked potato over the engine takes me back to my teens. I remember putting together a foil packet of potato, beef and onion and putting under the hood to cook it when I was a boy scout, and it worked. I later used this technique to heat MRE's when I was in the military. This was back in the day before US made MRE's came with their own "heater packs" inside. There's nothing wrong with ingenuity! It made the food a lot more palatable and enjoyable.
Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦
Glad ur border crossing went well
We Canadians are very friendly 😊
It's so incredibly beautiful! Thanks so much for your videos and for taking everyone along with you. And glad you also teamed up with some other friends on this journey.
Now you found some amazing cool down to earth friends to travel with!! So inspiring! I knew you’d find the best part of the world!
As a viewer of your vlogs it's a relief to know you have travelling companions for this journey.
What an awsome dog he blends right in I'm glad you got him and I know your family will feel your safer too. I'm 81 and have a model T ford 1924 and I have two baking ovens that fit on the manifold just like you were trying to do. You can even bake bread with it but it will heat up anything you can think of and it has a lid and you could add BBQ thermometer and read it from inside your vehicle and they are cheap, well work the time and effort when your driving on a trip, again I love your dog
