Carol's excitement at the river and then the music drop while fishing, so good - so entertaining - Peter hope your foot is ok. You guys are definitely living your best life.
Thank you. Definitely have a lot to learn yet with fly fishing. But it is so fun. Peter foot is healing and doing good. Happy about that. Have a wonderful day.
I believe that if I had to be stranded for a few days, that would be the best spot. So blessed that someone stopped by and jumped your batteries. Looking foreward to the rest of your journey. Stay safe and God bless!
Hey guys, been watching you for quite a few years. What a life you’ve created. I have a diesel 3500 Dodge with a 1181 Lance truck camper. The battery died in a campground. I had to have someone come and jumpstart me. After doing some research, I found an NOCO 70. It jumpstarts the big diesel engines. Amazon sells them for $199 and the case for $29. I just check the charge on them about every three months. Still vertical at 78 years old.
@@waynejackson3707 I bought the same NOCO GB70 model after trying and returning the lower power and cheaper ones from Costco. I had a faulty battery die on me so rapidly one weekend in Banff that I needed to boost it each time I wanted to start it even after driving for three hours. The NOCO had enough charge to start it three times without recharging it. I have a DODGE Pleasureway. I Don’t leave home without the NOCO and my tire inflator! Peace of mind!
Carol, your fly fishing technique is looking great! The music stop was priceless 🤣! Glad you were able to get a jump and get the EPICRT rig going again.
I remember the early days of EFRT when Carol was camera shy and mute… Then to see and feel her excitement has added even more natural energy to the videos like today’s episode. And yes you need a bike of some kind, a battery pack for the engine compartment battery and cables (backup, you never know) Although I am surprised that the company that built your truck didn’t include that kind of utility
I’m learning to just be myself 😊 Funny how shy I use to be. I believe RossMonster does have that option we just didn’t think of it till now 😅 Definitely looking into a dirt bike or electric bike.
Morning Carol and Peter..... He have a F250 diesel and purchased a NOCO Boost PRO. We actually used it twice, first was with the truck, I was having problems with start batteries and used the NOCO to jump start the truck. The second time was with our toy hauler trailer, We were at a campground and when we were packing up to head home, I found that the trailers battery charger failed and the batteries ran down. Actually ran down to the pint where I could not bring in the electric awning or use the electric tongue jack to raise the front end up to attach the trailer to the truck. Again I just connected the NOCO to the camper batteries which allowed me to bring in the awning and operate the tongue jack. I just store the NOCO under the rear seats storage area and about every six months bring it in for a quick top off charge, So twice the NOCO saved us.... Have a great day and keep those videos coming. Jeff
Such a chuckle at the fly fishing music stop. 😊 NOCO! Best compact booster out there. My small GBX45 starts my big Ford diesel tractor in the winter. I'll truly miss seeing you guys at Expo Mountain West. 😢
I have a NOCO too, love it. I thought EFRP had one in one of their jeeps or a solar blanket with a Jackery or something like that. Oh well, live and learn.
The music stop on the fishing hang up was priceless. My wife and I got a great laugh out of that.. been there too many times. Once again you guys have provided a much needed escape from this insane time we’re living in the US 🙏🏼
Thanks for taking me home. Born and raised in Victoria Living in Florida owning a Lawn Maintenance Buisness.Dual citizenship 5 years from retirement and selling everything and going to Van life and traveling North America bouncing between the two countries. Enjoy !!
A couple of holding your breath moments in this episode!...but you got over them! Hope your adventures goes smoothly from now on with this trip. Such an exciting trip to look forward to. Thanks for taking us along.
Those GuzzleH2O's are nice! Also Carol your getting so good at casting a fly rod! And yes just like me you will catch every branch within a 50' radius! LOL. Keep at it you will catch something soon! I agree on the prior comment about NOCO battery boosters, they are awesome and worth the price.
You should get a Jump Starter for your truck. You don't need another vehicle to jump you. They are small light weight and charge with USB. Mine holds a charge a very long time if unused. I have Ford E 350, it's my safety net when the unexpected happens. I've never had to use for my rig but I've used it on other folks. Thanks for the travels ✌☮
After your battery problems on this episode, I just bought a battery jump start pack for our 6.7. Haven't had any problems, but our batteries are original and haven't been replaced. Like you we camp very remote. If you haven't already bought one, Canadian Tire sells the Noco GB150, 3000 Amp, rated for up to 7.0 diesel.
I hope your foot gets better soon. Good job you have Carol. i am always on my own and don't have a car now getting to a doctor can be a problem. And our Doctors hear in the UK are in a crisis and overloaded.
Awesome video as always EFRT. All the campsites were so amazing especially the last one where all you can hear is the river flowing you can sit there for hours and time seems to almost stand still. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.
Pete, please, consider a dual AGM (Odyssey) battery system. I run a Genesis brand dual battery circuitry. If you opt for an AGM battery, be sure to have a means to adjust the alternator output to 14.5-14.8 volts DC. I replaced the charging circuit fuse with a 1 ohm diode in turn, allowing my charging system to operate at 14.8 volts maximum. All without any issues since the install. I has a professional install for the dual battery system. Given AGM batteries operate there. Most systems operate around 13.8 volts. Which will shorten an AGM battery life. Cheers, Mate.
Consider the 12v wiring for your new Water Pump and Filter should be drawing from your Lithium House Bank and not your chassis start battery. Also your exterior coach marker lights looked like they were on and those would draw down the starter battery. Love your stories and travels!! All the best.
Hey folks hopped over after seeing you over on Vancity Vanlife. Wish I'd found you sooner. You folks really know how to live life. Looking forward to following along.
In 2022 I traveled the Trans American Trail. It is a dream of mine to run the Trans Canada Trail! I'll be watching every minute of this series! Safe travels!
I just love watching this video beautiful weather and the scenery is absolutely amazing Carol you look like an expert out there with that fishing rod 😊 video was great you guys had a little bit of up and downs with Pete stepping on that nail and the battery but at the end everything turned out great God always look out for you guys 🙏❤️✌🏼
Enjoyed that. Beautiful territory. I have never seen so appreciate you taking us along. Well done on the editing and camera work!! I had never heard of the trail before - covers some nice country. Hope you are staying safe with the fires in BC and Alta.
Your enthusiasm and readiness to take on such a grand adventure are truly admirable, reflecting a spirit of exploration and resilience. Your storytelling captures the essence of adventure with such authenticity, making each episode a captivating experience. It’s wonderful to see your passion for discovery shine through every moment. And I am Floating Village Life.
@@EFRT enjoy this magical place together. I will tag alone and enjoy it with you💖 I am delighted you have four walls around you and are enjoying your beautiful new truck. Thanks for the news about the lake and the kids. Happy times ahead for your dear family .
Just discovered you guys while watching A video from Vancity Vanlife. Love your video and the fact you show it all including the not so fun parts. Hope your foot heals welll.
Hi Peter and Caroline love watching your videos, but I have noticed recently since the kids aren’t with you guys that some of the videos are pretty blurry, but all in all I still like washing them. My wife and I are planning on doing a long long road trip in three years and your videos help me to plan my trip From Southern California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, and up in British Columbia eventually Alaska keep up the good work. Hopefully you might be able to clear up a little bit. Thank you very much your friend Jim.
Definitely learning the camera settings without the kids. Still have a lot to learn. Thank you for your patience. What a wonderful road trip!! Really excited for you both.
Last year when we were in Depot Bay, Oregon we were seeing whales breach ever 5 mins from out resort room. It was neat. There is something so soothing listen to the sound of the ocean. I was just hiking Staircase Rapids in Olympic National Park yesterday July 20.
I thought I recognized those beaches and woods. And that campground is my #2 spot to camp when out on the coast. #1 is Kalaloch. And yes, that is correct. There is no dispersed camping on our coast. There is permitted camping up by Neah bay for the Ozette triangle.
Saw you both met up with Chrome … your website and his are the ones I watch religiously…. Nice to watch real people and good people … going back to van life in 5 months hope to meet you folks one day… have a great adventure. David 54 from Edmonton….
Very surprised you don't carry a battery booster like a Noco which I believe you can also charge up off of solar. Also recommend an ebike MTB! Glad you're safe and sound and soon back out on the road.
We got so use to having everything with us with the Jeeps, forgot when we are solo in the truck. Definitely adding this to our recovery gear now. You are so right and ebike MTB is a must.
I grew up in Oregon close to Tillamook. Loved the beaches better than Washington, but that has changed since I took my wife to Seaside and the beach had so much garbage and broken glass in the sand, it was a big disappointment how it changed in 30+ years, now we don't mind going to Ocean Shores or Copalis beach.
Such a great video! The thing missing was Lando! I cracked up at the sudden stop of the music during Carol's fishing scene! 😂 If you had to learn a lesson in battery essentials, you sure were in the perfect place for it! Now you just need a jump-start battery pack. Our local towing service uses them now. No more cables. With your house system being so wonderful you wouldn't have that problem ever again. And thank goodness Peter hadn't developed a fever! I'm so glad you guys are on the backroads again 😊
Good to see you guys in Canada again. I think you were a little optimistic when you said one half hour from Victoria to Rathtrevor, probably more like two and half! Love that spot you ended up at. I'm going to check out that area north of Rooney Lake. I'm not sure if you were at Junction Pool Rec. Site but it looks fantastic and it looks like it gives access to Johnstone Strait as well. I hope your foot doesn't give you any more trouble and I will certainly following along.
Dang guys! Sorry you broke down, but an idea for next time, if Canada and other states might have local recovery groups on facebook. Just local people helping other off-roaders. We found one in Oregon our first time out in the jeep. Thankful for them.
Gotta say, seeing the dead battery footage was great. It isn’t all perfect scenery and easy living. Experienced overlanders can get a little lost, and you do realize you’re not in total control! Always learning eh? Great video!
A few ups, and a few downs. That is what life is about. You folks are Great at taking it as it comes. Is there a way to run a dedicated power line from the back where your Li batteries are up to the engine compartment? Make it so you either can flip a switch to direct power to your engine battery, or physically attach wires to the start battery so it could naturally charge over an hour or two. I'm not an electrician, so I don't know if this would work. The music drop as Carol was casting and then picking back up was fantastic; a good way to add levity after Peter's accident with the nail. I hope your foot is better!!
Waoh guys, so glad those locals arrived to get you a jump star. The scene of Carol fishing with that dreamy music and suddenly back to reality when the line got hooked and then back to the dreamy music. That was so hilarious. Definitely, you guys need to review your travel gear now that you guys are on your own. Loving this trip. Love and be safe!😘🌻ve
here watching on a referral from Vancity Vanlife. we live in the same city as Chrome. we did a more traditional cross Canada 2 years ago, it will be interesting to see your take on it. we have less than a week before we leave for Tuk.. so I want to watch that video before we leave,
Hi! I just found your channel. Beautiful and inspirational. One of my dreams is to buy a 4x4 van and travel N, C, & S America. Your truck intrigued me. I’ll look thru your channel to find more information. Look forward to watching your adventure. Thanks for a great vlog.
I love that you have a bag for Landau! (sp?) Only part way though, but if you didn't go over the first aid kit for pup and human in this vid, will you in a future one?
Agree, you should be okay from the nail wound, besides your aired it so you must be good. Also you got your daily dose of Fe for the week. Great camping sites, thanks for sharing. To raise the bar on your fly casting skills when there are obstructions behind you, try the roll cast technique.
Been there, carry a NOCO as mention by others. Can use it also for cell phone/ ZOLO Battery back up on hikes. Might see you in NL, leaving mid Aug for 6 weeks, via Trans Labrador.
OUCH! And you said you would be careful.............. I can't wait to see Carol catch some fish using her fly rod! She has gotten so good at using it no comment about snagging the tree because every fisherman does that, some more than others. It's better than snagging another fisherman! That water there is so crystal clear. I don't know if you crossed the Colorado River when you were in Yuma, Ariz,. but it is just muddy ugly looking water. You all always seem to find places with crystal clear water. May you all continue to have safe travels, wonderful adventures, beautiful scenery, God's blessing, protection, and providing your needs.
Pete, couldn’t you have a cable run from your solar system up to your truck battery to charge it? You could have a switch installed that would only be turned on if you needed it. I’m no mechanic but it seems to be something to explore. Also one of those inexpensive batteries that you keep charged and plug it into a 12 volt port in the cab to back-charge the battery. I’m sure you’ve thought about that by now!!!
Just saw you on Vancity Vanlife's channel. Enjoy your visit. Can't wait to see your videos. BC is home, and it's amazing; however, the rest of the country is beautiful too. You should really try tidal bore rafting in the Bay of Fundy. It's a unique experience.
Check with Rossmonster regarding your Victron Energy lithium system as typically when these systems are installed on an RV there is typically an option to engage a switch that allows a “jump start” of the starter battery from the house batteries. If Rossmonster installed this relay it may be the quick fix you need or have it installed and you won't need to carry more stuff!!!
❤❤❤hope your foot heals better soon Pete, hi my friend, such an awesomely amazing scenery and omg the whales are just having fun.❤thank you for sharing your journey with us, take care and stay safe love from kiwiNZfamz❤❤❤❤❤
Carry a Norco brick or similar boost lithium starter battery ,takes up no room and can be charged if need be off of a solar battery. I don't run a dual battery system ,my starter battery is my starter battery , and thats all it does .I run and charge everything else of of lithium solar batteries , and I have the starting brick just in case ...works out great !!
I have one of the Cascadia 4x4 solar systems on my hood to prevent those issues and I have a Noco. Cascadia is a Vancouver BC company. They might have one that would fit your truck.
Rossmonster indicates that they offer a jump-start function on the Baja that allows the camper to jump-start the chassis if that battery is depleted. I'd contact Luke and team to discuss the option as we have a similar capability on both our 4x4 RV and Jeep house bank. It surely is better than carrying more devices or overly complicating a solution that may already be easily leveraged.
Hi me an wife witch your video's an boys too Live in port Angles wa, love it here looking over To Canada. We are retired otr truck drivers. I still drive but mail Port Angles to Tacoma wa now. Keep traveling as long as can.
Soon on our way to our annual Qualicum beach vaca. Then a couple hops over to Hornby Island, beautiful Tribune bay (Canada’s Hawaiian Beach) we enjoy your shows!
Exactly the same situation happened to us and lucky for us our group leader help us out with his hence our purchase a 20000mAh car jump starter. Love watching your utube channel. South Africa
I'm thinking an electric bike, under the current circumstances, wouldn't be a good choice. At least this give good instruction. What a beautiful spot to be for a while

😋😅 I had to giggle when Peter captured my face when I got stuck. Priceless moment.
Happy Sunday*
I remember the early days of EFRT when Carol was camera shy and mute…
Then to see and feel her excitement has added even more natural energy to the videos like today’s episode.
And yes you need a bike of some kind, a battery pack for the engine compartment battery and cables (backup, you never know)

Thanks Jeff. Great tips and yes, that sounds like the perfect tool to have. Powerful but compact.
What beautiful video loved seeing the whales thank you
Such a chuckle at the fly fishing music stop. 😊
NOCO! Best compact booster out there. My small GBX45 starts my big Ford diesel tractor in the winter.
I'll truly miss seeing you guys at Expo Mountain West. 😢
I have a NOCO too, love it. I thought EFRP had one in one of their jeeps or a solar blanket with a Jackery or something like that. Oh well, live and learn.
We do in the Jeep like you said. Need to get these imported recovery gear in the truck. Totally forgot 😅
Good to know, thanks. I know. Would have been nice to have been there and see everyone. Hopefully next time.
I always have a NOCO with me.
This is going to be an awesome trip!
Yes definitely going through some wild and remote country. Canada has it all.
The music stop on the fishing hang up was priceless. My wife and I got a great laugh out of that.. been there too many times. Once again you guys have provided a much needed escape from this insane time we’re living in the US
🙏🏼
Thanks for taking me home. Born and raised in Victoria Living in Florida owning a Lawn Maintenance Buisness.Dual citizenship 5 years from retirement and selling everything and going to Van life and traveling North America bouncing between the two countries. Enjoy !!
You should carry a NOCO Jump starter, small but powerful doesn’t take up room but able to jump you off so you won’t be stranded.
NOCOs are great! Charge it once or twice a year from USB or 12v, stick it in the back and forget it.
Yeah for 15,600 kms of Sunday morning vlogs. Can’t wait to hitch hike along, safe travels. 🥾⛰️🇨🇦❤️

7/21/24 - Good Morning from Charleston,SC - Great video . Thanks for taking us along. You need to get a Battery Pack for emergency ! Be Safe !
Good morning ☺️ Definitely ✔️
Gotta say, seeing the dead battery footage was great. It isn’t all perfect scenery and easy living. Experienced overlanders can get a little lost, and you do realize you’re not in total control! Always learning eh? Great video!
Just found you two after watching Chrome of Van City Vanlife! Now I'm following you two 😊. Time to catchup 😅😅
Aww thank you! It was a blast to run into Chrome and his pup.
Bummer on the battery but, as you said, good place to enjoy for another day. Thanks as always!
Not bad at all. We have enjoyed following you along as well. 😎
A few ups, and a few downs. That is what life is about. You folks are Great at taking it as it comes. Is there a way to run a dedicated power line from the back where your Li batteries are up to the engine compartment? Make it so you either can flip a switch to direct power to your engine battery, or physically attach wires to the start battery so it could naturally charge over an hour or two. I'm not an electrician, so I don't know if this would work. The music drop as Carol was casting and then picking back up was fantastic; a good way to add levity after Peter's accident with the nail. I hope your foot is better!!
Hi , wieder ein wunderbares Video von eurem Roadtrip. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland ❤️
Hello Germany 👋🏻 Happy you enjoyed it.
🇺🇸❤🇨🇦 Thank you. Looking forward to seeing the sites. 😮
Waoh guys, so glad those locals arrived to get you a jump star. The scene of Carol fishing with that dreamy music and suddenly back to reality when the line got hooked and then back to the dreamy music. That was so hilarious. Definitely, you guys need to review your travel gear now that you guys are on your own. Loving this trip. Love and be safe!😘🌻ve
Fish looked amazing/fresh
Thank you 😊
Definitely need a battery jump box, I have one and all my neighbors love ❤me ! 😂😂
😁✔️
here watching on a referral from Vancity Vanlife. we live in the same city as Chrome. we did a more traditional cross Canada 2 years ago, it will be interesting to see your take on it.
we have less than a week before we leave for Tuk.. so I want to watch that video before we leave,
Thanks
Cant wait for the next video, thanks from Dennis and Reece my Lab.
Ahh the pause in the music while fishing is truly realistic. There is a metaphor about life in there.
😊💯
Hi! I just found your channel. Beautiful and inspirational. One of my dreams is to buy a 4x4 van and travel N, C, & S America. Your truck intrigued me. I’ll look thru your channel to find more information. Look forward to watching your adventure. Thanks for a great vlog.
This was a lovely video.
I love that you have a bag for Landau! (sp?) Only part way though, but if you didn't go over the first aid kit for pup and human in this vid, will you in a future one?
That’s a great idea. 💡 Thank you.
Agree, you should be okay from the nail wound, besides your aired it so you must be good. Also you got your daily dose of Fe for the week. Great camping sites, thanks for sharing. To raise the bar on your fly casting skills when there are obstructions behind you, try the roll cast technique.
Good tip. Thanks. I’ll practice my roll cast.
Great video!
Been there, carry a NOCO as mention by others. Can use it also for cell phone/ ZOLO Battery back up on hikes.
Might see you in NL, leaving mid Aug for 6 weeks, via Trans Labrador.
God is good!
💯
OUCH! And you said you would be careful.............. I can't wait to see Carol catch some fish using her fly rod! She has gotten so good at using it no comment about snagging the tree because every fisherman does that, some more than others. It's better than snagging another fisherman! That water there is so crystal clear. I don't know if you crossed the Colorado River when you were in Yuma, Ariz,. but it is just muddy ugly looking water. You all always seem to find places with crystal clear water. May you all continue to have safe travels, wonderful adventures, beautiful scenery, God's blessing, protection, and providing your needs.
Most RV have Battery isolation switch to keep starting battery fully charged. God bless.
We used to live in Ocean Shores and work in Aberdeen and Pacific Beach! How we miss the PNW!
PNW is so beautiful. We can see why you miss it.
Pete, couldn’t you have a cable run from your solar system up to your truck battery to charge it? You could have a switch installed that would only be turned on if you needed it. I’m no mechanic but it seems to be something to explore. Also one of those inexpensive batteries that you keep charged and plug it into a 12 volt port in the cab to back-charge the battery. I’m sure you’ve thought about that by now!!!
Just saw you on Vancity Vanlife's channel. Enjoy your visit. Can't wait to see your videos. BC is home, and it's amazing; however, the rest of the country is beautiful too. You should really try tidal bore rafting in the Bay of Fundy. It's a unique experience.
Check with Rossmonster regarding your Victron Energy lithium system as typically when these systems are installed on an RV there is typically an option to engage a switch that allows a “jump start” of the starter battery from the house batteries. If Rossmonster installed this relay it may be the quick fix you need or have it installed and you won't need to carry more stuff!!!
❤❤❤hope your foot heals better soon Pete, hi my friend, such an awesomely amazing scenery and omg the whales are just having fun.❤thank you for sharing your journey with us, take care and stay safe love from kiwiNZfamz❤❤❤❤❤
Hello family ❤️ So happy you enjoyed it.
(7:40) it was surprising to see those whales so close to shore! Very nice 👌
We were surprised to see them so close. Amazing.
Carry a Norco brick or similar boost lithium starter battery ,takes up no room and can be charged if need be off of a solar battery. I don't run a dual battery system ,my starter battery is my starter battery , and thats all it does .I run and charge everything else of of lithium solar batteries , and I have the starting brick just in case ...works out great !!
Well, it happens. I would have thought that solar system would have charged the truck battery. Either way, what a perfect spot.
I have one of the Cascadia 4x4 solar systems on my hood to prevent those issues and I have a Noco. Cascadia is a Vancouver BC company. They might have one that would fit your truck.
Definitely will look into this. ✔️ As always, thank you, 😊
Rossmonster indicates that they offer a jump-start function on the Baja that allows the camper to jump-start the chassis if that battery is depleted. I'd contact Luke and team to discuss the option as we have a similar capability on both our 4x4 RV and Jeep house bank. It surely is better than carrying more devices or overly complicating a solution that may already be easily leveraged.
Found you guys from Chromes channel.Cant wait to watch your channel
You need to get the Antigravity Heavy Duty battery jumper. It will jump a diesel in heartbeat.
Good to know. Will look into this. Thanks.
Hi me an wife witch your video's an boys too
Live in port Angles wa, love it here looking over
To Canada. We are retired otr truck drivers. I still drive but mail
Port Angles to Tacoma wa now. Keep traveling as long as can.
Soon on our way to our annual Qualicum beach vaca. Then a couple hops over to Hornby Island, beautiful Tribune bay (Canada’s Hawaiian Beach) we enjoy your shows!
Exactly the same situation happened to us and lucky for us our group leader help us out with his hence our purchase a 20000mAh car jump starter. Love watching your utube channel. South Africa
So So enjoy your videos!! The beaches….so beautiful!
Been wondering…are your kids singing on the music clips? To me it sounds like they could be. 😊
Get the biggest noco jumper box for that big diesel. It will be a life saver.
Maybe carry Jackery or Bluetti (sp?) portable charging station. To charge all your kit off and solar panels to keep the station charged up.
Expensive Gas ⛽️....... welcome back to Canada
Looks like you need that new Ecoflow DC-DC charger. It can maintain your starter battery as well as charge the house battery.
💯
I'm thinking an electric bike, under the current circumstances, wouldn't be a good choice.
At least this give good instruction. What a beautiful spot to be for a while
I always bring a jump pack in case of an emergency. For myself or see ppl stranded
