@@adelqudah7143 when I first saw a video of theirs I thought that they had to have at least a couple million subs, but I checked and only saw 100k or something like that, still crazy to think they did all this at 6k subs
This was great and hard to watch. I had to thumb the highway of tears from PR to PG when I was 22. I was stranded after I made some bad choices and was left there by a fishing boat I was working on. The love and help I received was immense. A lovely, though addict, couple let me sleep on their couch and gave me fresh socks, a plate of food, and a talking to. A bus driver picked me up, bought me a bucket of chicken, and had a priest pray for me. Once I was in PG, a man in a wheel chair offered to let me sleep on the floor of his hospital room, though I declined that one. It can be scary out there. Glad you made it back home to your mom.
When his father got emotional and worried for his son, it touched me deeply.. No wonder Brad is such an awesome person with a loving father like that. This family needs to be protected at all cost. 🤗 💜
I’ve noticed when hitchhiking that people treat you as a sort of shoulder to lean on. They realize that they’ll never see you again and that you’re stuck with them for X number of minutes/hours. Hearing the average Joe/Jane blow talk about what they’ve gone through really humbles you to the plight that everyone goes through. The woman that dropped the heavy psych ward lore definitely needed someone to just listen to her without fear of judgement.
It sounded like she endured narcissist abuse (from the smear campaign). It took me a year to feel normal again after I went through it so I feel for her. It can make someone appear bipolar with the rumination and ranting trying to make sense of the unimaginable.
I find it very interesting that the people who pick you up open up so much about their personal life. Something comforting in telling a complete stranger about the struggles and ups and downs of your life I guess. Very interesting though.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.... Your kindness has made a MASSIVE inpact on my life, at an extremely dark place in my life.... seriously YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE......YOU HAVE AND YOUR CHANNEL HAS IN MY LIFE... 🙏🙏💞💫
Sane here. It honestly has changed my outlook on life and people after watching the Hitchhiking across America. This channel made me realize I need to cut out all outside sources of negativity and start looking for the positives again.
Hey! I saw your tiktok channel, and from there I found your youtube channel. As a Canadian, with similar goals, your video was absolutely amazing. The filming, editing, genuine dialogues... Thank you.
4 minutes in and I'm so happy I just discovered a second Yes Theory channel! And obviously you are a fan considering how you edit your videos and your t-shirt. New sub here!!!!!
Hello! I originally saw your page through TikTok and I’m honestly in love with this series. The people you meet and form connections with is just so priceless. Keep up the good work !!
This is insane.. I didn't know it's still a thing in this time and age. So many good hearted and friendly people making this trip possible. It's awesome. Stay safe!
I feel for that woman that picked you up, the one with the blurred face. She seemed like she had been through a lot in her life, and just needed someone to talk to, you could tell that she was just lonely. who knows, you could have just saved her life from just giving her a little conversation. From her to open up, you could tell that it was still on her mind. If she's reading this, just know that if you're looking, there's love out there, and I promise you that it gets better. If you feel like you're at the lowest point in your life, then there is only one other way to go.
That's really, REALLY interesting. In my country it's usually truck or mini truck who doesn't mind stopping for hitchhikers. Basically every personal drivers are scared of unknown strangers asking for a ride but truck drivers are usually chill and been on the road for too long without companions so they welcome hitchhikers
I think the reason why those large trucks that he was talking about don’t stop is because they’re on the job and how they’re paid to work. Truckers are really given an unfair deal, and often slowing down to any degree can be punished financially. It’s why truckers don’t stop to go to the washroom generally and pee in bottles- because stopping for a few minutes will take money off their paycheque. I assume it’s the same with stopping to pick up and drop off a hitchhiker- sure it wouldn’t be very long, but I think every second counts. That was just my assumption as a Canadian when that part came up
I love your Yes Theory shirt, you give off the good vibes they do! I love your channel so far and I’m excited to see how the journey plays out in the next episodes!! ✨
as a female canadian from AB this whole thing seems so cool and fun and i would so love to do this but i live in fear everyday especially as a 19 year old girl, i wish i could have experiences like this
@@Nonyah123 If this person wanted to hitchhike now, then she'd need more than just mace. She'd need to plan her destination ahead of time and have the adequate equipment. And no matter where you live, DO NOT HITCHHIKE ALONE UNLESS THE SITUATION CALLS FOR IT. This is in no way do deter anyone from having fun but safety comes first. Hitchhiking has the potential to be dangerous and you have to be smart about it. It's especially dangerous for girls and women (unfortunately). ALSO, mace may not affect anyone under the influence. So if you think you might encounter a hostile druggie, pepper spray serves as a better companion. Sorry for the long comment, but all this stuff is something people should know regardless of gender. (Do not hitchhike alone unless you are that desperate)
I'm watching this after finding your channel and I truly hope that women that just got out of the mental health facility is doing well, its cool to watch the older videos after seeing your newer ones, it puts alot into perspective, this is truly the most underrated channel on YT and deserves more subscribers
Slushie guy! I loved this! Thanks for sharing it with us - was great to meet you yesterday. Hope you had a chance to talk to your dad & wish him a HFD.
I’ve only started watching this series today. It’s amazing how courageous you are especially with how different the world already was at the time. I could never do this especially being a woman. I’d be too afraid. The clips of your parents at the beginning made me tear up. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
I got stuck in Boisbriand, QC because my GPS stopped working (my data plan wasn't great, first mistake) after eating dinner. I was freaking out that I'd never find my hotel again. I asked random strangers in the parking lot in the restaurant for 45 mins. I had a stranger who did not speak english, we talked via SayHi app back and forth, and then he let me follow him to my hotel. I was never more grateful.
Please dont stop vlogging and making content. Just found you today and it lit a little fire in my soul, your channel is so wholesome and beautiful! Thank you brother, would love to have a conversation one day or even a bite to eat with yah! Share some stories 🙏
People from other countries are definitely more used to/open to hitchhikers for sure! One thing i can also say for sure is it depends on the state ur in... When i lived in Colorado it was so easy to get a ride, i had a friend who would hitchhike TO and FROM work every single day! Now nothing ever bad happened to him except he was in 2 different accident with people who picked him up. but other than that he absolutely LOVED it! NH is very similar. and the Thing about Truckers it not a guaranteed no you just have to catch them at Truck Stops. I know another guy who was a life long train hopper, he was cool as hell a real life Hobo. missing a leg from a time he fell and got caught underneath. didnt stop him tho! he kept on train hoppin!
You guys really do resemble yes theory a lot in the vibes and all, im kinda addicted watching you guys now! Seeing people interact w each other is so fascinating being in quarantine and seeing people interact w each other normally and without masks and being able to touch and greet people freely without fear
Every one else commenting in 2018-2019: Wow I love this I think I’m going to do this Me commenting in 2020: found your channel on tik tok then I came here cause that’s all I do watch tik tok Netflix TH-cam and do home work But any ways I would have loved to do this in January or any year before 2020 loving this I don’t think you’ll like/heart my comment the positivity in this video is amazing dude keep it going
A snippet of Varun Vagish hitchhiking in the beginning, a Seek Discomfort shirt at the end; man good content creators just know where to draw inspiration from. Starting this series today as I wait on the episodes of the US one. Awesome stuff!
I'm turning 41 this year. When I was 19, I left my parents' house, and went on a "pilgrimage". My mode of traveling was hitchhiking. I traveled my entire country "South Africa 🇿🇦", and 3 of our neighboring countries. It was the best 2 years of my life. I think it's safe to say that, that culture is still alive over here. Its not as dangerous, but its understandable that not everyone will give you a hitch, as a result of how society has become, and how hitching has gotten this bad wrap. Either way, I'd take a hitch on any given day. There's just something special about the fact that you share a few personal hours with a stranger whom you might never get to see again.
I went out of town one time. My first time to do it-- just me & myself. It was super scary, but supe duper fun at the same time! I'm a girl, so it was a bit risky. Thank God, nothing weird or bad happened to me. I made some new friends on that trip, and I have discovered a lot about myself on that trip. It's nice to go out of your comfort zone sometimes. You"ll never know what's waiting for you on the other side. As for me, it was all fun & unforgettable memories! 😊❤
Hi! Just saw your channel on my timeline! And that’s pretty amazing how you travel! My uncle does this as well!! But he went all across Europe!!! Love your videos!! And also got me emotional on the amazing people who helped you’!!! Be safe out there!! And enjoy life!!!
It’s crazy some ppl rly have no one to open up to do they would go as far as opening up to a stranger to get that sense of relief I love your vids man I believe even though it’s little it’s a big thing in the community I wish you the best of luck for future vids stay cool 🤟
I didn't realize you were from NS. im from NB myself and ive always dreamed of traveling like this, filming/editing it all, meeting people and just feeling the trust, love, and connection in this world. I think it would be an amazing experience. I always told myself that I couldn't do it because "im in NB, you can't do anything in NB". You truly are inspiring, I hope one day I can do the kind of stuff you're doing. I'm 20 now and I worry that I'll miss my shot if I don't do something soon. I feel quite restricted though, I think my biggest fear is my family trying to stop me, they've always been overbearing and I haven't truly felt autonomous yet especially considering I haven't gotten to move out due to the housing prices in the maritimes recently.
I absolutely loved Woodstock NB. I wish you got to spend more time in these places, I spent 3 months on my trip riding across fundraising for MS so always speaking and engaging with strangers, bringing everyone together for a good cause from their desire to help others.
been watching your video for a couple of days... can't believe you stand in the parking lot of the grocery store i shop at in moncton... I so wish I could of met you!
I've hitchhiked all over the world and recommend it to everyone, but always keep your wits about you and be able to defend yourself in the rare occasion you encounter a dangerous person, which still has not happened to me. As for places to stay, always carry a tent or hammock & tarp in case you can't find someone to couchsurf with. Also homeless shelters and churches exist in most towns and are usually willing to give you a bed/shelter for the night. Other places I've crashed are airports, ferry ports, police stations (police are often fine with you rolling out a sleeping mat inside if the weather is awful), or abandoned structures. I've even slept inside abandoned boats sitting on the ground. Also big busy gas stations are great places to get a ride, either asking people or waiting at the exit ramp where all the vehicles are going slow. Talking to drivers of stationary trucks is often the best option for long distance rides. Hitching as a duo can have its advantages. 1 guy 1 girl is a friendly looking combo. 2 guys or more can be very difficult tho. As you gain more experience hitching, you can make incredible distance in a short period of time. You gain a sense of the ideal hitching spots. Pretty much always avoid hitching spots where the cars aren't going slow, as the chances someone will slow down for you is very slim. Also don't wear sunglasses as drivers usually want to see your face, and wear a hi-vis jacket so they notice you more easily
Watching all your videos! Good job spreading love and showing people that it's still possible to make connection with people. Hope youre keeping well during these hard times ❤️
This was very cool dude I just got done watching all eight parts you should do it again maybe you could travel to either one of these places Michigan , Georgia , Florida or another pretty cool idea you could pick up hitchhikers
I've had multiple opportunities to pick up hitchhikers but my personal safety has always been the reason I never stopped. I never carried a weapon to defend myself and thinks can turn for the worse so quickly, the risk of personal harm is pretty significant compared to the minor reward of sharing compassion to another human.
after watching the first epsiode of the 'i crossed america on' series i decided to check out your oldest videos and while the quality has improved a lot this is still really good. id like to try hitchhiking one day. ive wanted to since watching in to the wild but the dodgy stories of kidnappings do put me off.
Wtf... i started watching you a few weeks ago and had no idea you are from nova scotia! im from dartmouth and loving watching your videos. keep up the good stuff!
15:10 when you know you wont ever see that person again and no matter what you tell that stranger, it wont have an influence on your life it frees you of a lot of restraints.
This is my second vid I'm watching on Nov 1st, 2024. The first vid was youtube recommended and it was about meeting people at the Trump rally. lol Its amazing to see how many wonderful people there are in the world. I hope the lady suffering from depression is doing better now. Those who are struggling, please don't feel ashamed, find someone to talk to. Remember, life is a series of moments, tomorrow is another day you can make the best of it. If its not good, find something bigger than yourself (your worries, your sadness) to give you motivation to live. Life can be tough, but it can be wonderful.
Pero que videos tan bonitos tienes ! ✨💜 I wish I could take adventures like this one with a person like you! I loved your country! I left a part of my❤️ there ! Hope one day I can go back and take an adventurous journey by bike or hitchhiking 🇲🇽👏🏼✨
I can’t believe he actually did this while only having like 6k subs at the time. You guys deserve so much more.

remember me when your famous. And if anyone’s coming back after he’s famous I was here when he had 3k.
Ayee thank you !
He famous now
Ohhh we will hit very soon the Million.. this man is amazing..
He famous now he at 193k
I wanna see him getting 1million
I find it very interesting that the people who pick you up open up so much about their personal life. Something comforting in telling a complete stranger about the struggles and ups and downs of your life I guess. Very interesting though.
people tend to open up more because its a chance to just unload as they will most likely never talk to this person again.

Thanks my dude! That exciting, are you hitchhiking across ?
did you get to go before COVID-19?
Sophie_ The_Queen_710 I’ve already did that last year, but I would like to do it again this year it’s a lot of fun to do it here in Europe
how did it go?
@Tam How did it go??
Good job brad on 1 million I’m watching old videos reminiscing.
Dude. Amazing. (Yeah I’ve gone back to the beginning of the series, has to be done!!!)

It’s so unfortunate that even in the most developed of countries it would be dangerous for girls to do this.
I feel held back so often from the things I want because I'm a woman :( its disappointing

had started in the middle off a recommended video, after 3 I finally figured out it was a series lol. Thank you for this
Amazing to see a woman like that, willing to just speak so openly to a stranger about her trauma. That in itself is some so powerful
Ay I was on this channel train early 160,000k subs maybe it’s not 3k but this channels gonna make millions of fans some day.
keep up the amazing work bud, i’m still trying to figure out how you don’t have at least 100k subscribers, you gon be at the top one day... trust me

As for places to stay, always carry a tent or hammock & tarp in case you can't find someone to couchsurf with. Also homeless shelters and churches exist in most towns and are usually willing to give you a bed/shelter for the night. Other places I've crashed are airports, ferry ports, police stations (police are often fine with you rolling out a sleeping mat inside if the weather is awful), or abandoned structures. I've even slept inside abandoned boats sitting on the ground. Also big busy gas stations are great places to get a ride, either asking people or waiting at the exit ramp where all the vehicles are going slow. Talking to drivers of stationary trucks is often the best option for long distance rides. Hitching as a duo can have its advantages. 1 guy 1 girl is a friendly looking combo. 2 guys or more can be very difficult tho. As you gain more experience hitching, you can make incredible distance in a short period of time. You gain a sense of the ideal hitching spots. Pretty much always avoid hitching spots where the cars aren't going slow, as the chances someone will slow down for you is very slim. Also don't wear sunglasses as drivers usually want to see your face, and wear a hi-vis jacket so they notice you more easily
Saw your post on tiktok and i immediately came here and watch.... 👌🏽
I SEE THAT SEEK DISCOMFORT SHIRT YAAAS i knew you were yes fam from the first video i watched of you
Great video Brad! It's really cool to see it from this angle after hearing you talk about it. Can't wait for the next video!
Thank you dude 😄
Watching all your videos! Good job spreading love and showing people that it's still possible to make connection with people. Hope youre keeping well during these hard times ❤️
Your dad's so loving
This was very cool dude I just got done watching all eight parts
you should do it again maybe you could travel to either one of these places Michigan , Georgia , Florida or another pretty cool idea you could pick up hitchhikers
I've had multiple opportunities to pick up hitchhikers but my personal safety has always been the reason I never stopped. I never carried a weapon to defend myself and thinks can turn for the worse so quickly, the risk of personal harm is pretty significant compared to the minor reward of sharing compassion to another human.
Crazy how one of my favorite youtubers was in moncton at the sobeys 2 streets away from me, always love it when someone's in my home town.:)
I am loving this channel so much so far and I have only been watching for 3 days
I love videos like yours make me feel like I have meaning and life is worth living
this channel is so wholesome
Your videos make me feel so good 😊 thank you 🙏🏽
after watching the first epsiode of the 'i crossed america on' series i decided to check out your oldest videos and while the quality has improved a lot this is still really good. id like to try hitchhiking one day. ive wanted to since watching in to the wild but the dodgy stories of kidnappings do put me off.
This is amazing! I didn't know I needed another reason to love Canadians❤🥳🥰
Hitchhiking is an amazing experience and I keep picking every hitchhiker I see!
Absolutely fabulous guys you rock and have made me re evaluate my being here keep it up guys I'm off to live my life. ❤
I love this series! I was so excited when you mentioned Grand Falls (where I live). Very cool!
Unreal. Well told, Informative and fr inspiring. Too stoked for episode 2 brother.
Damn thank you Kyle 🙏
Wtf... i started watching you a few weeks ago and had no idea you are from nova scotia! im from dartmouth and loving watching your videos. keep up the good stuff!
One risk turned into a huge reward. Glad you guys are getting recognition
this is too good, im hooked!
Yes dude ! Thank you for watching !
I love this video!!! I went to Le petit seminaire de quebec !! That was my school!!!! Awsome to see it from your point of view!!!
You have what it takes to gather an audience. I can't wait to see what you put out there in the future.
That is what i'm trying hard to work towards so thank you! I really appreciate it🙏
15:10 when you know you wont ever see that person again and no matter what you tell that stranger, it wont have an influence on your life it frees you of a lot of restraints.
Oh wow I didn't realize you were from NS, I live in HRM now but from the valley. If I ever see you I'd be sure to make a point to pick you up!
This is my second vid I'm watching on Nov 1st, 2024. The first vid was youtube recommended and it was about meeting people at the Trump rally. lol
Its amazing to see how many wonderful people there are in the world. I hope the lady suffering from depression is doing better now. Those who are struggling, please don't feel ashamed, find someone to talk to. Remember, life is a series of moments, tomorrow is another day you can make the best of it. If its not good, find something bigger than yourself (your worries, your sadness) to give you motivation to live. Life can be tough, but it can be wonderful.
Pero que videos tan bonitos tienes ! ✨💜 I wish I could take adventures like this one with a person like you! I loved your country! I left a part of my❤️ there ! Hope one day I can go back and take an adventurous journey by bike or hitchhiking 🇲🇽👏🏼✨
Looking forward to the next episode
This deserves way more hype than it’s gotten!!
Much appreciated Aydan 🙏🏼
buddy I know the feeling you get when you FINALLY get a ride after a horrible wait. I might have to go the other direction and do the same thing.
