I was recently back home to stephenville. I bought a used pioneer 700 and put 500 km on it in a week. Went out to serpentine , corner brook and a night in gallants at a friends cabin. Enjoyed every minute . I could see in your video a small glimpse of the house I grew up in behind the dream catcher . It was called whites hotel back then. Great memories growing up in that neighborhood. I always enjoy watching your travel adventures . 👍.
Awesome video. One thing I’ve learned is have a way to patch your tires when traveling on the old railway bed. Some places have rail spikes laying around. If you make a trip to central, the snowmobile and atv club are trimming trees and grading the old railway bed. From glennwood to Gander is a good ride.
@@crantana I just looked it up, I was unfamiliar with it. It looks like a great spot! We are already booked for someplace else this summer, but maybe next year. Thanks for letting me know about it.
We were there for the first time in August. You were a few days ahead of us, but we kept track of your group during our trip by checking out your updates on FB. Totally enjoyed our trip and we will be making plans very shortly to explore the West Coast in 2025! Was totally the trip of a lifetime for us! Glad we got to see NL from East to West, but now we plan to have a great time exploring the things we didn't get the chance to see. on the western side. Thanks again for all of your helpful hints and the info you provided for first-timers! :)
Awesome just watched all 3. If you were to go up river a short ways from your hidden lunch spot my family has a camp up there . We are always there the first week of July Thank you for the video
Great video Patrick (I tell a great story with great photography and editing). As for the ride - We both have the same machine with similar mileage - and my experience with some mechanical challenges (and I see yours too) suggests that we're both going to have to invest in a newer one soon... You go first!
I love your videos, and my wife and I are planning a trip for next year. Is it necessary to have hotel reservations planned in advance, or are there plenty of rooms available on a walk-in basis?
Was this trip late July? I feel like I may have passed you guys on the trail on my street and trail bike while doing the cross province trip. I recall seeing a similar 6x6 in a group!
The company that made it went out of business, unfortunately. There are other similar products out there though if you do a Google Search for spare wheel carrier you'll likely find one.
Hey Dave, noticed you use a communication system, wondering what it is and does it work well for you? My brother and I are looking at getting something and researching? Any help much appreciated. Sheldon Patey
We use Sena Bluetooth headsets. I use the SMH-10 model, and some of the other guys use the 30k or 50s. The higher the number the higher the price, sound quality, range etc. If I were buying a new set now I'd probably get the 30. The range is decent and they will disconnect when you get too far away from each other and reconnect automatically when you get closer. They should last all day depending on how much you talk. I usually get at least 10 hours. You can charge them when driving if you need to. Hope that helps, Patrick.
Absolutely incredible! You sir have an amazing talent for storytelling. Top notch production!!!
Thanks so much for the nice post. Glad you liked it!

Thanks Lloyd! I hope you get many years of good service and enjoyment out of your Pioneer.

I've hit several spikes over the years. I always keep plugs and an air compressor handy! Thanks for watching.
I love your stories very much. The 6x6 is a beast.
Greetings from Germany

Finally!!! I've been waiting for this series for a while. I know life gets in the way. Great video as usual.
What's it like being a celebrity now?
Thank you! I'm glad you like them. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
Awesome just watched all 3. If you were to go up river a short ways from your hidden lunch spot my family has a camp up there . We are always there the first week of July
Thank you for the video
What a great spot for a cabin!
LOL @ even the Quebec one :)
Yeah I got a kick out of that one too.

I have no idea what to get! There's so many nice machines to choose from.
I love your videos, and my wife and I are planning a trip for next year. Is it necessary to have hotel reservations planned in advance, or are there plenty of rooms available on a walk-in basis?
Book in advance. You don't need to pay up front to book a room.
Thank you!

Yes, it was.
@@EastCoastATV Darn. We followed your trip guide haha. Would have been nice to say hi on the trail. Great trip!
@@kevinturner811 Thanks. Maybe next trip.
What spare tire mount are you using on the commander?
The company that made it went out of business, unfortunately. There are other similar products out there though if you do a Google Search for spare wheel carrier you'll likely find one.
@@EastCoastATV thanks, I just liked the design of that one. I'm in the process of building my own
Is it time for a new commander soon?
It was time for a new Commander a few years ago lol. My old girl keeps working and hauling me to exciting places so I'll keep her around a bit longer.
