For me, 4 wheeling is fun, but exploring is what I am more passionate about. I know that some viewers want to see some of the more challenging aspects of overland travel, but for me, I can get stuck anywhere. I love these videos because they show places that most of us will never see. I have climbed up the side of the Pyramids in Egypt, sailed the Red Sea, been to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, Tunisia, Italy, Spain, France and Kenya. Most people here at home will never get to experience these places, and XO's videos show a lot of places off the unbeaten path, as well as those along the beaten path that most people often miss by just driving on by. I had no idea until this video of how beautiful this area is. Thank you, XO crew for the great videos.
Exactly. Wheeling is only one aspect of overlanding. Exploration is another. Sometimes off-road enthusiasts overlook that part.
Choosing not to film border crossings eliminated some of the drama from this season. All in though, it’s great to see your trip. Especially with the production quality you guys have. Thank you for all the hard work and the time you spend away from your families to do this.
dsm02c it’s a very smart decision though, border guards in SA are some of the worst
esteban betancourt I’m
Sure it made things go a little smoother. I wasn’t making a critique on the series more of an observation. Sorry to anybody if I sounded that way.
These days the borders have signs about not using your cell phone and if your paperwork is legit it's mostly just a whole lot of waiting in lines.
For those of you complaining about not enough off-road stuff...As per Wikipedia, and several pretty legit overland websites, "Overlanding is self-reliant overland travel to remote destinations where the journey is the principal goal. Typically, but not exclusively, it is accomplished with mechanized off-road capable transport (from bicycles to trucks) where the principal form of lodging is camping, often lasting for extended lengths of time (months to years) and spanning international boundaries." If you want a ton of off-road stuff, there's channels for that. Overlanding doesn't mean off-roading.
So cool to see you guys accomplish your dream of driving the Pan American...glad you documented the entirety of it for us to see. Highlighting cultures and people and just how alike we all are makes the world a smaller, better place. Looking forward to the next season (an African adventure would be cool...).
I love the aerial shots of water and mountain scenes. Beautiful country. What an unforgettable trip.
Probably the most interesting video of this season for me, based on the geography alone. Very nice job.
Chile and Bolivia are must-see countries on any South America expedition.
I cant believe this is ep 10 already! sure is getting me through this winter.
Let me clearly admit ... I did really enjoy this South America adventure as I did the previous X-overland adventures. I do see that there are some negative comments and disappointment among viewers - but I feel like asking you all: How many of us have taken (or are planning to) the same road ?, seen these beautiful places? been in such a fantastic ompany? Thank you so much X-overland guys and girls for sharing....Love 2 see U next time , Stay Safe
Kim Erik Jensen what did I start here....🤔 is not negativity .... is just that now that they have more experience , better equipment , and more followers, they should be done something more aggressive and like I said less talking , and more action, more dirt..... this guys inspired me so much that because of them I bought a 4runner and little by little Im buying stuff for the same purpose.... and like i said in another comment I’m not a hater.... is just my point of view
+Kim Erik Jensen don’t forget we have two more episodes to go!!
The look of excitement on Clay's face when he's talking about the mountains of Patagonia is so genuine. It made me instantly feel wanderlust. I need to get on the road again! You guys are an inspiration.
I wish everytime that these expeditions never has to end... Awesome. Keep the camera rolling and overlanding.
I don't understand all the negative comments. I am enjoying the video series.
Thank you very much for adventure series of South America I enjoy it very much.
Thank you again for amazing viewing. As usual you have not disappointed me. Godspeed
best episode guys. what an amazing landscape, challenging drive, rewarding camps.. keep it on.
Less talking and more action....more dirt... And of course more about he trucks, that's why I watch this videos.... Feels like you guys are taking the show in a different way....... Who's with me?????
Although I enjoy watching XO every week it’s really turned into more of a “travel” show. This entire trip could have been done in a Honda CRV. Overlanding doesn’t = 4low all the time but if you look at earlier season and video content they put the vehicles through the paces a lot more
I think you are all missing the point. Overland travel doesn’t mean you need to bury your rig! I really enjoy this show! It has inspired me in many ways.
they are overlanding not wheeling
Bill Gutman Overlanding doesn't mean you need a vehicle prepped to the top level either. But if you do and then make videos filled with "drama" of prepping the vehicles and not having enough time to prep the vehicles and talk on the radio about this danger and that danger and most of the trip you could do in a stock family crossover then think the criticism is valid and the "overlanding is x, y or zexcuse is lame. "
Allan Dela fuente just stop with the overlanding excuse already. It's intellectually dishonest and you know it.
way way better than most documentaries and movies out there! Great work, team ExO!
Utterly amazing! Southern Chile looks so much different than what I have seen of northern Chile.
It is!
Well done! As always another stellar "Super" season.
+Alexander Felsher another two episodes to go! It’s about to get crazy!
More XO Friday night awesomeness! Would love to point the Jeep south and keep going to the end of the road!
You're band of adventurers, are the best. What you've accomplished since the beginning is amazing. I hope you have other adventures in store for the rest of us to share. As always, May God Bless and Keep all of you safe, happy, and...Overlanding!!
Thanks guys for refreshing my memories of the Austral highway. Yes the road surface has improved since we drove it in a Toyota Yaris in 2007; then it was river gravel which had the Yaris floating on the high centre of the TRACK as its ground clearance did not match the 4x4s and trucks. We will need to find other tracks to do our exploring before they disappear.
Awesome scenery, Great Driving, Glad Jeff is Better.
Looks.. Absolutley beautiful!!
Man I wish I was with these guys On this expedition!!
Great season guys, thanks!
stunned at the beauty of chile!
Checking in from O'Higgins! That port under construction at the end of the road is complete and the road in town is paved now. Working our way up in a few days.
Another great episode! Thanks for all your hard work on making these vids and sharing your once in a lifetime experiences with us!
From Haro-La Rioja-Spain,thank you very much guys and girls,your work is a great inspiration for me.Gracias y buena suerte.
Stunning views!! Thanks for the photo/videography!
Very good season for you guys. The videos showcase nice scenery and awesome overland destinations.
The directorial/editorial techniques have come along way since the first season. True artistry.
I'm a little disappointed in the lack of off roading this season. Maybe the next adventure could have a little more technical stuff. I always like to watch you guys work through that stuff.
New episode!!! Yesssss!!!! Mexican traveling in central america right here!! Great channel btw!!
Didn’t think I was going to be able to watch this tonight from work. Glad I was able, your cinematography is always epic.
The mountains look just as beautiful as Alaska pictures. Love the Channel. More pics of scenery please?
Congratulations, guys! Awesome trip and some awesome scenery!
There are no words to say.. My heart is so pumpt to see more.. Keep up the good work... I'd love you guys to name some of the things you use.. In case someone like me, wants to purchase them
Travelling with you guys. If you ever dare to come to Brazil, my home is your home.
Go to Iceland next! Would make for an incredible season.
I think they should go to Africa, perhaps the Namib and Kalahari deserts.
These videos are so amazing, I'm a big fan of all the expeditions on the channel. So well shot and narrated. Can't wait for more adventures!
High light of the week, for sure.
Dennis Woods f
Great series and production...
Always spectacular scenery and planning.
Keep doing what you're doing.
32:34 those 2 Unimogs in the back are so cool. Nice video guys the landscape's gorgeous definitely a place to visit.
Superb. Well executed adventure. Well told story. Great visuals. I do think if you guys put together a final video that discussed what you would do different, and how the trip could’ve gone a little bit better had you down something, it adds to everyone else’s future plans.
Looking forward to the next adventure 😁🤙🏽🤙🏽
Lov'n it! Always pumped for the latest episode.
Don't rub it in Jeff! I would love to have the opportunity to do what you guys are doing, but I work a full-time job, working on my masters degree and support a family! This is why I watch all your videos and hope someday I can take the family camping regularly in our 2wd 4Runner after I'm done with my degree.
What a beautiful place!!!!!!
Hi,Rally Dakar now is on,so you can see some of the route you have been from a race prospective!
Makes me wanna cry seeing these amazing places. ;D
Love the videos! Keep up the good work. Hopefully europe is on the list next!
Such a amazing place! I hope one day me and my family are able to make our way down there. Also want to go to Alaska.
Yeasss finally a new episode, and is so awesome :D
Good gosh some of those routes made my stomach come up to my throat haha great stuff guys
Great episode. Looking forward to the next.
Awesome job.
Amazing like always,thank you!
Yet another awesome season! One major complaint, now i have to wait for the next one!!! Love the trip and the effort you guys put in, it shows in the quality. Where to next?
I got my boss watching this series and he won't shutup about it now lol
6:54, that's what you get making fun or your sappy introspective nature!
Sometimes karma strikes fast, eh?
Looking forward to more off roading next season.
I'm a fan of the channel, congrats !! Mark Samuels, Bryce Menzies, Peter Mortense and others Americans will be on the Dakar 18 Rally these days, it would be awesome if you could find them to wish a great race.
another great video , awesome
Loved you guys since the beginning (all the diverse personalities) but the show has gone into a branding commercial w/less adventure and even less trying times. Hope you review your mission statement and get back to showing what the crew, vehicles and those things that we put on our overland vehicles can do while still showing us great content, topography and cultures. With that said, your filmography and editing continue to be top notch. Cheers.
I have always liked your stuff and followed you from the beginning. I do like the production design you have put here for Overlanding (well aware of the difference of overlanding vs offroading). I guess my only reservations are these; your vehicles seem overloaded/over-equipped for roads (including the one in this episode) that have been driven by a Google car and have street views (yeah, all the way to the signs you stood in front of at the end of the road). The second reservation is that you ripped down far faster than typical overlanding - which means missing much of why I think people choose to overland. Otherwise, I will continue to follow this new style (much more "Long Way 'Round"). Lastly, I would LOVE to see an honest gear assessment video after the end of the South America season. I would like to see what you did not use or could have done without AND favorite real gear (maybe something not sponsored??) AND what you think you could have benefited from bringing along.
Great season!
This is the best episode (so far) of the season 👍🤜
Hey guys, awesome job again on the show. Been a fan since season one Alaska, however just wanted to say I feel the season has been a bit slow for me. I feel the show's most it's zest and sense of unplanned adventure that is the core of overlanding for me. It gave me the feeling that I could pack my family in a sedan and do the trip. Love that you guys are getting all these sponsors which allows you to do what you do and create content for us but would love to see all that top of the line equipment pushed to the limit and not just go on paved and gravel roads. Love the cinematics which are amazing but all the dramatic music and visuals really leads to no climax. I say all this with love and no hate, but would love to see some of that spark from season one in the next upcoming seasons. Keep up the good work guys!
OMG You're just noticing a squeal coming from the rear passenger side brake NOW??? I have been binge watching this South American trip and noticed it way back in Ep. 6. You were in the city/town of La Paz, Bolivia
Wow what an amazing trip!
Brilliant ❤
Again you guys did not disappoint. Love the series and the channel. Great adventure and buck list item for sure. I know your already planning the next adventure... more offroading in that one? How about crossing the State's with minimal pavement? Look forward to whatever is next, and the upcoming party at Equipt.
06:51. Karma strikes Steve for his comments on the bridge? LOL
This season is way better than the last, But you should call the channel expedition highway.
Great episode, I'd love to see your photo albums after these trips.
I got to meet some of the team a couple different times last was at the 2016 FJ Summit, I told you then that I was jealous of what you guys get to do- that was wrong I should have said envious.
Wooot,woot!
They’ve shown more cooking than off-roading
there is a border crossing from Villa O higgins to El Chalten , this way you didn't have to drive back to Paso Robalos into Argentina . Although this crossing can only be done when the river is low , it saves you tons of miles . and you get to see the most spectacular mountains ( The Fitz Roy ) . If you do cross at Paso Robalos thru Valle Chacabuco , check this out www.patagoniapark.org , and also , this www.bradshawfoundation.com/south_america/cueva_de_los_manos/index.php
awesome! I found just the option by foot/trekking, like this one villaohiggins.com/crossing/border1.htm
Can you help me with some material/link to cross with a 4x4? tks!
this is the actual crossing point , you should avoid the summer months , for the river crossing gets really hard and sometimes imposible , unless you get a rare cold beggining of the year , like the one we´re having and the snow thaw is delayed . just wanna to show you the crossing point , on the Chilenian side there is a border office , the pass is called Rio Mayer , someinfo here ( sorry spanish ) www.villaohiggins.com/mapas/r_vo-r40.htm
www.google.com.br/maps/@-48.209629,-72.3242319,11359m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=es-419
there are several videos about Travesía Rio Mayer , to give you an idea on what to espect. , also be aware that on the argentinian side the path is not marked nor define
Thank you a lot! Sure will research more and plan to cross when may be the best time of the year. That's what I was looking for! Thank you again
Love it,
Another great episode!
Clay mentions his jacket with lots of extra room that he used for storing his camera. I do this with some of my jackets but my goretex rain jacket isn't big enough for such things. I'm assuming it's a simms jacket, but which one? Good work guys!
You should do a video on all the gear you used on the expedition.
episode 1
You guys gotta try Salmon fishing while in Patagonia.
Your videos are filmed in widescreen but tagged and uploaded as 1080p. Going fullscreen on a 3440x1440 monitor makes me wish I could stretch it!!
Battery energy drink is from Finland. Quite a long way from home.
Come on out Jeff, come see me about June and rehab with me in the Vulture Mountains of Arizona for a couple of days. (Traumatic Brain Injury) I have been getting my health nourishment out there for about thirteen years now (good medicine); bring one of those Yoters and we will see how it and you do in the heat.
Great episodes Clai
rad vid
Cool
I always look forward to watching your videos and I think what you guys are doing is simply awesome. I've noticed with this new season the videos seem to focus more on the actual destinations and camp sites and not so much on the actual trails which I've come to love in the first two seasons. If my observation is correct was this by design or just the way the editing happened to work out? I'm just curious if the focus of the story telling has shifted gears...
great episode
33:54 Thank God you guys had that MaxTrax always there with you and could deploy it at that most inopportune situation.
great you have an epi-pen! (Q how many though?) but why no brake pads as brakes ARE the most important part of your vehicle. All vehicles should have spares on board as they are small and light weight. I see lots of expeditions say they need brakes, it's a no brainer in the inception stages to me.
Beautifully well done episode! Keep it up! While there was a lot of off-pavement driving, why the lack of true off-road driving for both South American seasons? I suspect it was because the overall goal was getting to the ending of the road which took priority, and to be honest this is just a different type of trip than previous seasons - Alaska, North American and McKenzie series had more off-roading and were honestly more enjoyable to watch from that aspect, but I really enjoyed the SA expeditions for a different reason, and that was seeing some incredible places and people that I otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The places and cinematography for this season was absolutely stunning - really well done, but not using those vehicles to their full capabilities has detracted from the series slightly. But, I get it; you’ve got a long trip in front of you and can’t risk damaging something so vital and crucial that far away from home. I do love how you guys are providing traveler-type tips for other overlanders and providing background and history on the places you are visiting, it makes it more meaningful. Overall, I’m impressed with the South American season and saw SA in a whole new light because of it - it really was superbly well done, but I would love to see the off-roading elements have some more focus in future series as they did in prior series. Thanks for taking us along for the ride XO crew, looking forward to more!
Take some time and teach us on your best meal recipes
Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for the South America series. I really enjoyed watching.
I’m also impressed by the filming, that is very good. How does it work, who is doing the drone filming? What kind of drone are you using?
Has it been difficult to get the permissions for this?
Cheers,
Niclas
+Niclas Östlund two more episodes to go!
Two more episodes! Yesss!
Awesome series! Sad it’s over😢
+Braden Young two more episodes to go!
ExpeditionOverland well that makes me a lot happier!! Thanks for letting me know!!!
So did the title "road trip" get charged to "overlanding"? So far I could do this trip in my parents minivan. I've watched every season and I would say "the return to the MacKenzie" was the best season. The filming is great in all of them. I keep watching this season hoping the next episode will be better than the last and every time I'm disappointed. I'm pretty sure most people want to see MacKenzie stuff, not road trip stuff.
Michael Preston There should be plenty of other YT channels that offer what you're looking for. If you've been watching, it hasn't just been roads. They are looking for adventure with one goal in mind, to the ends of South America and thats what they're doing. Good luck taking your parents minivan 7000 miles over sand dunes, desert, salt flats, a multitude of crappy roads and sustain yourself in that van for 50+ days.
Two2onefive if you don't know what you´re missing you´ll never know you missed something . Have you ever been to Patagonia ? , this episode and the one before were a real dissapointment to me , I know the region well and there is so much more to show than what they´re having for breakfast.
Michael Preston its their journey and we have the option to watch I don’t expect anything of them besides great content which they have always given if this isn’t the content you want don’t watch it for now.
El Pendorchu I agree....this belongs in FoodTV.
I think some people are missing the point of these series. If you want off road madness this may not be the channel for you. These guys are doing something extraordinary especially considering that they are all "ordinary" civilians with little to no training. They are making a dream come true, a dream that many people share and will never be able to do mostly because of the money factor of such an adventure. We should thank them for sharing these fantastic adventures with the world and enjoy those videos for what they are and not what we would wish them to be. Just the opinion of a random dude. XO, keep it up, keep living the dream and showing us all these fantastic places that most of us will never see.
I loved this season! Some really amazing country you crossed. Question, how often did you NEED 4x4 on this trip. We’re there any places you besides say the dunes that you wouldn’t have made it without? Thanks! Again I truly enjoyed every minute
The Argentinian side of your route is much nicer guys. You have missed Bariloche :(
After reading some of the comments I agree they need to at least make 1/4 of the show about the sponsors put those beast and awesome outdoors gear to work and show us why we need it that gear.
Other than that thanks for sharing you are not going to make everyone happy
Great vids👍👍 Where do you guys plan to go next?
