That sucks.....But Guess what Dave?? >>> They can never take away that Canadian train hop you pulled off! It will be Iconic forever!
You're right, Dopdah! The BFFH adventure was worth getting banned for :)
They can remove the videos
But they can never remove us all.
mattchew 1010 We can download them :)
I think you should work with someone to do a HUGE trip to visit all nations of a continent (obviously not north america) in a time period of you choice but it has to be under a year... Its challenging but your BRAVE DAVE and your awesome so I know you can do it! Love your videos!
Only 8 more years guys don’t worry.
Lol
Thats 2 Presidents worth
Is this accurate
FLUFFYUNIKRN Yes at least for the US
Im coming back to his comment in 2027
Brave dave's big fat Australian train hop?
Dave would die from dehydration those freight trains last weeks in the outback theres only so much water a man can carry
Try African
He’ll fucking die if he does that.
Sounds way better than Brave Dave's Saskatchewan Train Hop.
He is probably banned from entering Australia and NZ aswell, because Canada doesn't share info to only US
Just to check in, 2022 is almost here. We're damn near half-way to Brave Dave's Big Fat Canadian Freight Adventure 2!
Only 4 more years to go, time to switch to start counting down days
@@fizzy9226 Woot!
@@fizzy9226 Oh yes, oh yes!
@@fizzy9226 Yeahh buddy
Just something to think about, everybody. By the time 2027 comes around, Dave might not want to freight hop anymore. Keep an open mind and be accepting of whatever he decides.
So how far you can get across Europe.
The cars arent really ridable in the EU
There are many more problems with freight hopping in Europe, such as: many electrified lines, relatively short freight trains, much less freight trains (which means he'd have to spend a lot more time waiting), having to cross borders to get a decent length trip (and that's if you can find an international freight train), different languages, and probably more I can't think of.
Never been to Europe so I can't know for sure, but isn't European rail way too quick and the cars are built different and the whole thing would be extremely difficult to pull off? I bet if the same thing happens in Europe as it did in Canada, that Dave would be screwed.
Yes thats a great idea
Come to Sweden. Everyone spelas english. Everyone is Polite and theres a LOT of trains
Oh well, Australia has an nice outback freight system. Do that…
hilarious?
I second this idea, The Australia Outback freight system is enormous I would like to see you go from Perth to Sydney, Darwin to Melbourne or Brisbane to Melbourne too would be good.
El Salvador Your comment suggests you have never actually been in Australia
El Salvador Because that is clearly your medias perception of Australia.
El Salvador Yeah, it’s nothing like that at all
On the upside.... The sound quality is crystal clear and the video is crisp.
Really paid off! XD
Yeah, it was well worth me buying a Hero 5 for this trip. Great sound quality inside the airport and on the plane flight home :P
You'll always be a legend to the immigration staff on duty that day. And us, the constant viewers of course. Best of luck with whatever befalls you next ;D
How much was money wasted?
@@BraveDave probably was worth it actually since you got nearly 1 million views on this video lol
Go to Russia and make "Brave Dave's Siberian Express Expedition!"
"Brave Dave's Incredible Endless Gulag Expedition"
Russia would be perfect...
@@tuikkumies1 You do realize if he were to get caught he would be fucked a 100 times worse than if he did in Canada / US
Here in Russia, if you get caught trainsurfing (it's somewhat common here), you'll probably get a big ass fine. The fine is from 3k to 4k rubles or you may even have to do community service. Here this kind of activity is called зацепинг, and there are enough youtubers that do this. So the punishment in Russia is less harsh than it is in the states or Canada. But freighthopping or train hopping, it's stupid and dangerous, just don't do it kids.
@@NewBuildmini Ok dad.Хорошо папа.
Brave Daves North Korean Freight Hop
loganbaileysfunwithtrains how about South Korea
Simple Mat ride into china from N.Korea
Simple Mat uhh no south korea is so small that has many CCTVs.. if he got spotted, he'll caught within few hours
LMAO!! Then if he gets caught he doesn't have to worry about a silly trespassing charge they will just shoot him. Or even better nuke him!
Xectar Well I disagree with number 3 it would most definitely be interesting! I think a lot people have a fascination with NK due to the country being so isolated and secretive. Number 2 absolutely it would be his last train ride. Lmao
Go to Mexico and illegally enter the US and ride a train to Canada
that is a GREAT IDEA
You can get in on KCS into souther texas and louisiana but I don't know what lines run up north.
@@Y34RZERO ferromex into Eagle pass then an empty grainer from Houston up To Dallas then east intermodal on the UP to Memphis then the CN all the way up to Canada
Be careful, as Britain will imprison people on behalf of the US who tried to enter the US illegally (recalling the EDL leader who came to JFK after previously being issued a lifetime ban from the US for operating a hate group).
LMAO
The totally audacious way you pulled off that daring escape when you were last in Canada, and then had even more audacity to vlog it, is why they had to shoot you down and put a warrant out for you. They couldn't humbly accept defeat. Secretly they were awestruck by the badassness, especially when they thought they had you cornered like an animal with nowhere to run.
and then they got him even more by making him watch the Minion movie on repeat. ahahahaha! good to see you here, Dave.
@@BikingWIthPanda haha yeah minions on repeat was the final kick in the nuts lol
Imagine being banned from a whole continent. Feels bad lol
FixedJokes He’s still able to go to Mexico so not the entire continent.
Mexico: *am I a joke to you?*
Even Jamaica plus others
There's still Mexico, the Caribbeans and all the countries in South America if we consider the American continent as a whole
come try Australia! :) we'd love to have you
After all isn't that where idiana Jones did all his crap and everyone loved it
PlymouthtoLeedsonaXCHST we love British people
PlymouthtoLeedsonaXCHST why would we be anti British? you might be confusing us with Ireland, my aunt even lives in England.
Edit: I think I might know what your talking about, a few years ago we used to be kind of anti american but even that's gone now.
Annoying Person we make fun of america tho lol
Aren’t there a shit load of creepy crawlies in the Australian bush? Dave seems to like to just lay in the grass for slumber time 😂
I see a lot of comments saying "Freight hop Australia" I would definitely help fund that!
EИK3.
But there is like a few thousand kilometers of nothing
He’d die of heatstroke if he come here in summer.
SIX MORE YEARS TO GO AND COUNTING... WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU OR GIVEN UP... Us Canadians want you back here! :D
One more year down!
4 YEARS NOW
Only 7 years to go now ladies and gentlemen!
FUCK
dont think that when the ban is over, he will do it again
6 now
Mexico Freight Hopping!
Sam Walkons Dangerous
It would be amazing! Since that is the route central American immigrants take to get to the US. from Guatemala to Texas.
So the freight train called "the Beast" travels packed with illegals through Mexico.
Why don't they get caught? Who wants them in Mexico, it's expensive and complicated to handle thousands of illegals. PLUS corruption, immigration officers charge for their "Transit Visas"...
They'll probably use you as a mule. No point in killing you since that brings no money...
Refguee movie HELL YES
Ooo... Not in Mexico. In CA or US, the worst that would happen is a few nights in jail. In Mexico, the Federales are not exactly known for fairness or following the rules. Piss them off and you get stuck in a Mexican jail for a long time or they just shoot you cause it's easier.
The rail workers might kill you or you might run into a cartel. Basically I would only give a 50% chance of staying alive!
Well, on the bright side, you can say you're wanted in two countries for the biggest solo cross-country crime spree conducted by train. I'm sure you'll find awesome shit to do in the rest of the world and I look forward to watching it!
lol
lol brave daves a joke
lolno mate. get off this channel
100% should train hop in Australia, we’ve got ancient train lines running through the whole country, from desert to snow. Would love to see that!
Jacob Underwood yes heaps of it mate down south
@@boganbandit9804 wow so you guys arent fire lizards ok
Eastern Europe has some good freight lines so you can try those, plus the areas are normally not wet or cold so its an easier camp
Canada is has a hot summer spring and sometimes fall to
Dave, it seems like something as minor as a trespassing ticket could be cleared using a local attorney. In Canada. It might be worth the effort. It’s entirely possible a good attorney could get the warrant cancelled. Thanks for your videos. I live and travel the US in an RV and post videos about it on my channel, a few of them train videos. Maybe you can wander Europe a bit in a van or something and film adventures along the way?
Living out a van for a while would be really cool :) And one I day I might look into what the charges actually are and what it would take to get myself cleared!
gotta talk to the crown prosecutor in whatever jurisdiction issued the warrant. They can probably clear it for a few hundred canadian dollars...
You can definitely clear that warrant. Fact of the matter is you have to physically be on their property and caught for a trespassing charge to stick. Your video edit may appear that you were there but that was all done in post production processing for entertainment purposes so you didn't do anything wrong.
Any updates on it?
Jumping Off The Cliff haha lol good luck finding an attourney fast in newfoundland
Don't give up, there is a Russian youtuber called Ilia Bondarev (check him out) who also does this stuff, he started hopping in USA, but continued doing it in Mexico and the trains are actually more or less the same looking, so even though Canada is closed, Mexico is still free to visit, there's much more wild forests, even real tropical forests, sunny mountains, beaches, deserts, even native american sites, cities are probably very different to Canadian/American ones, the language is different, so that could be a much cooler adventure than Canada again. There's also loads of European countries where you can do that, Turkey, Russia, Balkans (Greece for example is also sunny like Mexico and have high mountainous railroads), so you don't even have to spend so much money on going to another continent. :)
best idea
Freight hopping in Mexico is NOT something you want to do, considering the cartels and corrupt police.
I would not recommend him do Europe, most of the rail-line is electric and hoping on train cars with high voltage lines above your head is too dangerous.
Mexico? Very bad idea, don't ever do that in Mexico.
That russian guy's videos are entertaining, but he takes a lot of risks. Like the time he was really drunk and staggering along the top of a train. In Mexico everyone warned him how dangerous it was. There are criminal gangs that target train hoppers. All it takes is one bad encounter to end up dead.
I wish the Bull would comment here. That'd be so epic.
Maybe he already has...
maybe...
who dat? :o
The fucktard that ratted Dave out did comment.
@@Bonzi_Buddy Who is it?
what a fucking sack of shit
That's enough adventuring for you, Dave. I'd concentrate on getting a job. Have you put in an application with the railway? :D
Have u put an application with the railway? hahahaha This comment beats the hell out of any other comments on this vídeo!!!
gud one mate
Them hiring Dave would actually make sense. He trainhopped so far and had so much intel on the company's MOs, he'd make for a huge asset just by knowing what to look for.
He has a job
Not entirely sure if you heard him say before that he has a job, and that he took time off work for the trip, and that it's why he can't put up as many videos as he'd like.
That sucks, just glad they didn't lock you up
Me too, Larry! The trip could have gone a lot worse, that's for sure :P
I agree!
Larry R another larry
+Brave Dave so didn't they tell what's the other option instead of just leaving the country? Wouldn't you be able to settle the issue with some fines and be able to enter the country after? I don't believe you are just forever banned from entering North America for something like that.
Doing the subtitles is greatly appreciated.
I can understand you fine, but some may not.. and the fact you add those titles to help those that may not understand is very classy.
That 4 part series is legend.
Take care!
Thanks Vincent! Yeah, I spend a fair while adding the subtitles because I know a lot of people will benefit from them. Glad you appreciate it :)
Subtitles helps when youre not supposed to be watching while at work haaaaa
@d3u1d4e that's what I was gonna say, it's very considerate, I'm sure some with hearing issues appreciate it.
This new trend of forcing subtitles on TH-cam videos is annoying to me. Deaf people should be able to turn subtitles on, but putting them directly on the video makes it hard to watch the video without reading them for me.
Brave Dave's Morbidly Obese Freight Hop: Afganistan Edition
Lol. I don’t even think afghanistan has any trains.
no trains in afghanistan.
Train hopping is just their morning commute to the office.
@Gappie Al Kebabi Yeah. Rich as heck, those west countries are DIRT POOR....
(a joke if you couldnt tell)
r/agedlikemilk
Next up russian freight hop ?- from St Petersburg to Vladivostok
Maybe you will need a small gas cooker and more food than before in Canada to survive Siberia
- 7 time zones how about that?
Why don't you just call up Canada and ask them how much to pay off the trespass? Usually it's only like a couple grand. And yeah I know that's a lot of money for your average person, but surely you could raise that on patreon or something by doing a series of smaller fundraising type trips in the UK or Europe, and then pay off the fine in a year or two tops, then you don't have to wait 10 years to go back? Just an idea, forgive me if it seems like I'm asking a lot of you or being too forward. I just thought I'd throw it out there. Cheers Dave.
Or at the least have a lawyer in Saskatchewan look into the charges. Having someone local representing you can make a big difference.
He was basically _deported_ from Canada. It's common for countries to impose a 10 year ban on deportees. This will now be the issue rather than some outstanding warrant, and it's one for which it's extremely unlikely that there will be a "solution". He's most probably also relinquished any right he had to appeal his deportation because he signed a document agreeing to it.
Even if he could do that, i don't think he would get off so easy the second time if he manages to get caught
John Brown Right. That makes sense. Wouldn't be bad to have a lawyer look into it though, maybe one of the subscribers on the channel here is an attorney.? My uncle who's an airline pilot actually got banned from Canada once for a very silly reason. He ended up saying hell with it, and it eventually went away after some time. I suppose it wouldn't really be particularly worth it if it was spectacularly expensive anyway, just for a week or two of youtube filming and then no further plans to return. C'est la vie.
John Brown, he wasn’t deported he left on his free will. If he would stay he would be arrested *then* deported. Pay attention.
Instead of freight hopping, have you considered hopping freight instead?
Setup some crates full of goods and jump over them on one leg?
I'd watch it.
Alex Ball or hop freighting. Transport hops across country..
Like a package? Definitely a bad idea in my opinion. Has anyone even *actually* done it instead of all the faked videos?
I've done it, but I used both legs.
In soviet Russia freight hops you
thinkging out of, thje box
I find your never-ending positivity absolutely inspiring. I've already noticed this in your original freight hop videos but it's clearly shining thorugh here. I wish to have the same mentality about my life as well.
Best of luck to you, Dave!
4 more years!
A pain in the ass but thank god you hadn't go to jail...
Jail in Canada ain't so bad.
I bet if he were in the U.S he woulda gotten life in prison or some other outragous sentince like that
Freight hop in Australia 😂
Jamieson Guy-Toogood yesssss
Fuck Yeh. Perth to Vic. The boring Nullarbor in 45deg heat 😂
Melbourne to Cairns would be a great freight hop, about 4000km and continually changing scenery
Sleeps in hedge
Gers bitten by tiny Spider
Dead
Melbourne to Cairns would be a good one, but I don't know if our freight cars are really rideable?
Hypothetically, what would be the consequence of agreeing to be arrested and settle outside of court for a fine? I know it'd probably be expensive and this is probably a stupid idea but humor me.
freight hopping in Canada is just criminal Trespassing it would most likely just be a fine of 200-1000 Canadian dollars. which not sure of the conversion rate would be but he would have been arrested on his charges and pushed to court to be presented a fine pretty much. nothing major but if he was let out paid his dues and got caught again is where it would've been hairy as he would've been held on charges of criminal mischief which could've imprisoned him for longer than his due stay and he would arrive back home late for work and such would've been a bigger risk than granted.
@J Hemphill But from the sounds of things at the end of the vid he actually didn't need to worry about his employment after all :(
I was wondering about that. What if he allowed himself to be arrested and then just plead guilty and paid the fine? I assume there would be no jail time. Would Canada then be cool with him? Or would they still ban him?
Not sure how Canada works, but I'd be surprised if repeat offenses were punished severely. Especially with video evidence that he intended to pay the fine knowing full well he was gonna do it again.
Canada shares the same laws as the UK. That's why individuals with criminal records in the UK can be granted admission into Canada. The rehabilitation of offenders act 1974
Still rewatching the series at least once every six months. I just love how you have this idgaf attitude throughout the whole series.
It is technically possible to make it from Singapore to London by rail. I don't know that its feasible to do it all by freight hopping, but the gist of the trip would be to leave Singapore by train through to Malaysia, Thailand and then China.
Once in China, the high speed rail system is incredible. It's like flying on the ground. I once took from Shenzhen to Beijing and it only took 12 hours, which is unbelievably fast.
From Beijing, you can book a bunk on the Transiberian railway, which goes to Moscow via Mongolia over the course of a week. I've done the first leg of this trip and hopped off the train at the Mongolian border. it was EPIC.
From Moscow, there are many ways one can to London.
I've long been fascinated by this, to the point where I even mapped the above itinerary in my head. I don't think I'll ever execute it however, which is why I'm hoping you will and film the whole thing!!
This sounds freaking amazing.
The new railroad from Europe to china, goon around China and trans Siberia on the way back, ferry from St. Petersburg to Stockholm and then there is train all way down to France and the tunnel back to England. That would be a crazy adventure, but not all of it on fright trains I hope.
What about an urban adventure !!! (finding hidden gems and giving tips on surviving on the streets ?) I don't know if it would woo but that could be really cool
I just got hooked on your videos last night! I’m a Canadian who lives in Saskatchewan and I’m bummed to hear you won’t get to see the rest of my amazing country for some time! We’d be happy to have you back Brave Dave!
Thanks Alex! And I'd be happy to come back. Unfortunately the law doesn't feel the same about it :P
I watched your whole Canadian freight hopping series... and I loved it. You’re a stand up guy Dave, definitely someone I’d have a pint with. Cheers from Manitoba!🇨🇦
Thanks Liam! A pint sounds good :)
Your hand motion looks like your conducting a symphony
Get your ass up here. I'll hook you up with beer and a place to stay in NS. Love your work, even though you're basically millennial dreck as well.
SadMafiosoSadMafioso maybe this summer. Ns=nova scotia?
Yes it is, on the East Coast.
Hobo Stobe are there any interesting comments on this situation as an experienced hopper you could share with us?
And if you pass through Quebec/(Montreal or even Ottawa) Same goes for me STOBE!
Actually, what a great pickup line, "Hey, Lady, wanna chat with a guy whose wanted in Canada and banned in America?.... 'wink' 'wink' 😜
Princess Leia: you SCOUNDREL!
Haha, Gristle. I guess it does make quite a cool little anecdote, if nothing else :)
Brave Dave i’m glad to see that you’re staying positive. keep it up man
Damn Dave It's Aug 2019 still have a few years to go yet before we can see that happen lol. No worries bro you still got a new sub & that Canada big fat freight adventure was epic 👏👏👏✊& you got friends here in 🇺🇸 💯🙌. It's sad we lost Stobe RIP 😣 that hurt ! I will check out your new content my friend, just stumbled on to your channel watching Stobe's greatest hits . Cheers & Salute 😎
Lol sorry about getting kicked out of Canada. Guess you won't be able to train hop on easy mode anymore.
I honestly think that you are such an amazing inspiration for anyone. Not because you illegally freight hop, but because no matter what happens, you always stay positive. You got banned from the US and Canada which are both countries of high importance and tourism, but you say “it’s only 2 of the 198 countries in the world so it’s not that bad.” You are an amazing human being and I can only wish the best for you.
Thanks Hypo! :) Yeah, I'm a positive person, and all things considered, being banned like that wasn't too big a deal compared to all of the other things which could have gone wrong :P
@@BraveDave Did you have to buy a new return flight? - also only just recently found you and loved the freight hop videos, shame about Canada, but like you said 198 countries and most you could try the same! ;)
@@markreed9853 Hi Mark. No, I (fortunately) didn't have to pay for my return flight. They just sent me home on the next empty seat. Not having to pay out for another ticket was perhaps the only good thing that happened that day :P
@@BraveDave Good to hear back from you, that was ok about the flight home then, would love to try something like that myself If I was younger and healthier but also not a fan of getting banned from the US, as I have family there (and must see a SpaceX rocket launch sometime?) - I hope you can do something similar in the future and good luck in this new year - must get myself sorted as of to Thailand again next week 😎
@@markreed9853 Yeah, definitely worth staying on the right side of the law :P And that's an awesome goal to have; to watch a SpaceX launch! They'll be flying to the moon soon enough as well :D
Was a huge bummer, but like you said. Still 192 countries to explore. Hopefully meet up again one day
Yeah man! If you're ever in the UK then let me know. Probably won't be doing any freight hopping but there's still a lot of other things going on :)
@@BraveDave do more fright hopping please
gotta admit, i do love the idea of the bull and their colleagues huddled over the computer in the office hunting for a video set in their yard, recognizing themselves on the radio "Oh, that's me!" and observing how you escaped "So that's how we got out - we never did check that third train!"
i am sad for you (and for us) that we didn't get another freight hop but thanks for trying, and perhaps some day (but if you do please make sure you come back in one piece again)
Brave dave, I just finished watching your four-part freight-hop video across Canada. It was both entertaining and suspenseful. I'm sorry that the sequel didn't happen. I admire your spontaneity and sense of adventure.
Damm it Dave it would be great if you could manage to make another one. I was one those who supported you from patreaon and I think it was like $15 dollars for couple months. I thought you deserved it cause you really really put your life in danger in that video series.
Now I am sad but also not shocked what you was dangereous and having these type of consquences is normal. Anyway dont lose hope Dave after all you are not arrested. Get over this bad situation and keep the channel alive maybe a video in a week it doesnt have to be train hopping your casual hiking videos were good too..
No matter we still like you cheers and good luck from Turkey my friend !
Thanks a lot for supporting me, Bugra! It's just a shame that I couldn't make it happen, though it was really cool to know that a lot of people wanted to help me out :)
For now its better for you to just keep the channel alive so make sure that post hiking and climbing videos keep the channel alive I am a TH-camr myself and the worst thing for a channel is to stay empty for time beign.
Keep the audience happy going hiking and climbing are not that much expensive also make people notified about your possible trips. It will be fine have no worries.
#LetDaveIn
Your three peaks running vid brought me to your channel, very much enjoyed the big fat freight hop, great work !
Hah! The Y3P run. Now that's a vintage video :P
Banned from an entire continent is pretty damn impressive, though!
Yeah, it certainly makes for quite an interesting story to tell anyway :P
Though you may not be able to get back into Canada or America for another freight hopping vid, you still pulled off one of the most badass escapes ever! It can never be topped, and they can never take that away from you! I'm sure the video was going to be great. Honestly, I enjoy your wild camping and hiking videos, so personally I would like to see more of them. One more thing, are you going to do more videos with Eva the Believer?
Next up: Brave Dave's Border-Crossing Adventure
Haha. "Brave Dave Flies To Prison"
That would be a challenge. Fly to Mexico, then freight hop across two borders all the way to Toronto!
Wooooaaaaaahhh we're halfway there
Love your positive and accepting attitude. Please do more videos as you have an honest presence and a unique way of telling a story. Don't sell out to mediocrity and waste your talents!
You have a very positive attitude about this. If this happened to me, I probably would've freight hopped right off of a tall building.
Haha. I'm not sure how many freight lines run along the tops of tall buildings. Maybe in China somewhere...
Brave Dave 2018 China Adventure?
Callum Bartels I suspect instead of a ticket,if he was caught in china they'd say a foreigner was spying on their network and it would be life in jail! I'd say China and N.Korea might not be good choices 😁
Come on down to Australia. If you freight hopped here you'd probably die, but you could always try the East Coast vision quest (walking from Brisbane to Sydney).
Nothing gets you more enlightened than spending a month wandering the Australian wilderness with nothing but a backpack.
I've got family in Brisbane. It would be funny if I just turned up on their doorstep after having hiked there from Sydney :P
Brave Dave
What about coming to Brizvegas & doing a few of the great walks/hikes we have? The weather is perfect. We've had good rain, which makes all those waterfalls pump! And all within an hour of Brissy 👍
Didn’t know Sean dyche was on the run
Your train hop series was extremely satisfying to watch, those bulls had no idea where you were. They must have been so angry!
Bro! You are like the most positive dude ever. Sorry to hear about your trip got more or less cancelled and as I understand you lost your job as well. I also see you are making the best out of it and I hope you won't get into that dark downward spiral. Keep doing what makes you happy and look after yourself before looking after us. I still enjoyed the vid. Have a nice autumn man!
Haha, thanks James! Yeah, I am pretty positive, but don't worry, I'm definitely not falling down any dark spirals :P And I didn't get sacked, I quit. And it was nothing to do with Canada. Have a nice autumn too, pal!
Russia or australia
In Russia, freight hop you!
Mike Hurley No, in Russia freight wagons hop on you
I love the way you pronounced Newfoundland its funny watching other people say it because they can never actually say it right. good shot tho FYI I am from Newfoundland myself live here for most of my life.
I was curious so I looked up a video: th-cam.com/video/31PhPvUPtEU/w-d-xo.html
Noo-fn-land! And now I know ;)
5 more years!!
Shit i was thinking bout when we would here from you about this adventure just last week. So i gotta ask, quit or sacked to get the extra free time?
Quit :)
M8 you've gotta try freight hopping in Australia, trains are just as long as in Canada and the country is just as big, also like canada its an ex British colony
He would die of heat stroke if he tried to do that. Can you imagine being in a hot metal carriage in the middle of the desert without water? The train drivers probably wouldn't care either, they would just wish you luck and not expect you to survive. Although freight hopping on the east coast wouldn't be so bad.
Tanki Divide u do it in winter and u won't overheat
oh jesus i've really offended you! Im so sorry, I hope you can forgive me.
GET A LIFE! XD
You could ride from London to South Africa and from South Africa via the new Silk Route to China 😙🎶
You're a cool mate! I've rarely seen someone being so understanding with police or other security forces, even when they're just doing their job. You were pretty cool about it and indeed, those ladies and lads were just doing their job. Thanks for that!
No problem, Rabascan! Of all the people involved I was the only one in the wrong so I definitely can't blame anyone else for what happened :P
@@BraveDave I've been on the - let's say blunt end of the stick there, and I know that not everyone is so considerate in such regards, thus the big fat thank you!
You should do a freight hop across Australia
Gus Gould Thats fucking skitz m8
A guide to: Dying in the outback
Yeah he can come stay at my pad.
Yooooo. That’d be awesome
Cayne big lez?
NO FUCKING WAY!!! Gutted man. Try Mexico, or I know it’s really far and more expensive, but Australia is awesome for freight hopping. And don’t be put off by creepy crawlies, you’ll be fine as long as you don’t go north to Brisbane
Only 6 more years guys! 😩
I fricken love you! We want to have you back in North America. Someone mentioned the idea of facing the come-uppins in Canada and paying the fine. Might be worth researching. We'd love to have ya!
My kid and I watched your Canadian Adventure videos and are gutted that our country did this to you! We understand why but we still feel awful. The punishment should have been a fine and we(the followers) could have started a Kickstarter to pay for that. As for the next trip... Far eastern Russia!?!
Thanks, PeeOhTrek! Tell your son I'm sorry I couldn't deliver this time but I'm glad you've enjoyed Big Fat Freight Hop :) For all I know the punishment is a fine! I just haven't found out how much. The immigration officers gave me a phone number and a case ID, so maybe I should phone it sometime and find out what the penalties are...
@@BraveDave I hope you'll do that soon, I'd definitely give you a few hundred euros for paying the fine or the flight or anything. Again, I don't want to push you or something, hope you understand 🙂
Oh man, that's terrible. I mean I can't even imagine the horrors endured while listening to the Minions Movie on repeat! I think some people went insane just watching the Minions movie normally, you may want to see a psychologist after that. :) But seriously, that whole wanted criminal thing sucks. As to what to do next, I don't know. As long as you are enthusiastic about it, I'm sure any adventure will make for a great video.
Thanks, Darkan! Yeah, the sound of the Minions chuckling away hour after hour didn't really help me feel much better during those 9 hours :P
agreed
Hi Dave. I recently discovered your videos and really like them.
While train hopping is illegal it's kind of very "unguilty" crime.
You don't hurt anybody and you are not a threat to anybody. You don't damage anything and don't cause any real problem.
Even if you are trespassing you choose to travel free on the expense of comfort. Windy, sometimes rainy and screaming sound from the train. Sitting and sleeping on a hard surface far from the comfort offered with regular passenger car.
In my opinion a banning from the country is an exaggerated measure for the "crime". There is no evil included, just a longing for adventure. Which I really appreciate to look at in your videos even if I personally never had done it myself.
I agree, Patric! But a warrant is a warrant, regardless of what it's for :P
To this day I am still mad that this sequel didn't happen.
You can't go to Canada, fwend! You rode a train without a ticket, buddeh. Now you're banned, guy!
I'm not your guy, buddeh!
I'm not your buddeh, fwend, but i love your videos anyway! :-D I would love to see you ride across Russia, but that would be probably insanely dangerous. I think that you could die there. Even greater distances, no dispatch contact at all, probably lousy internet connection if at all available, trains stopping for weeks in the middle of nowhere, crime, but it would be a hell of a story to tell...
Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg just don’t forget the vodka
Brave Dave Well I'm not your buddeh, pal
Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg quite harsh eh?
Brave Dave's Frieght Hop Russia Edition: Part 3 finally escaping the Gulag
We are already more than half way to 2027
you didn't let us down...thanks for trying! How about Vietnam or Laos? Something really beautiful
Yeah, I've not been to South East Asia in over ten years! I'd like to go again for sure :)
Canada used to be a nation of adventurers, it's become a sad shadow of that over the last 30 years, hence this hysterical over-reaction to you turning up again. Australia has great freight hopping opportunities & stunning landscapes along their 3 main routes.
You should freight hop cargo ships next.
Crazy Stranger isn’t that shit like, even more illegal??
@@bigboy123-9 yeah that would be breaking the law in international waters and you could be put in prison for years if not decades
That's if you get caught.....
@@RiverFerret Actually, it would be very difficult to establish what laws he broke. Maritime law is very complex. What punishment he got would depend on where the ship was registered, and what kind of person captain was.
@@Quicksilver_Cookie he would most likely be thrown overboard, unless the ship had a coastguard near the ship, also it would be alot of time hiding on said ship with provisions.
Go to Lithuania and meet up with shiey :D
Some days the elevator, some days the shaft! Enjoyed your trip. Looking forward to your next adventure
Train across Russia!
Da comrad
You'd probably get eaten...by a local.
I'd rather chew glass. You ain't getting no glass of water after you get caught there. When he said that is what he would ask for my first thought is how programmed we are in the West. Much of the world has a rude awaking in store for soft people.
@@RJT80 More like a glass of Novichok
spy gulag@@shook_man_18
Do like what bear grylls does, go to the middle of nowhere and find your way to civilization without your gps
Fuck bear grylls he ain't shit
Bear Grylls is fake, so is nearly everything else on t.v.
Didn't Bear get busted chilling in a hotel when he was supposedly sleeping in a mud hut while eating skunk anus?
Bear Grylls' shows are representations of situations, so that if you were ever caught in that situation, you know what to do, contrary to popular belief, Bear Grylls is well fed, and kept warm at night. He still did drink his own piss though; I wonder how much money it took him to do that?
+InVaLiD I imagine something followed by a good amount of zeros.
Oh well, at least you got a nice seat next to the wing. I like looking at the pilot's moves, etc. If I were you, I'd still cry tho... But guess what, most other countries has trains!!!! :D Hope to see more from you!
hahahahah!! I remember on part 3 people saying how funny it would be if they ever saw the video of you escaping. I love just imagining the bull an those workers watching you evade them.
Dave, did you get word yet about hobo stobe's death yet???? From the FB page about it...James Stobie, aka Stobe the Hobo, died Wednesday the 8th of November, 2017. He was trapped on a bridge with an on coming Amtrak train, and while he got to the side of the bridge the best he could, the train caught his backpack and and pulled him into the train. The police identified his remains from fingerprints from the Coast Guard records Friday, and notified his parents.
Best part of these vids is when dave waves goodbye with a smile for a solid 10 seconds.
Legend has it I'm still waving to this day...
He looped it Mr observant lol
@@BraveDave You can stop now
Just rewatched the series for a 3rd time. Only 3 more years!
Been watching since the freight hop, and came back to hear this crazy video.. again.. but, it’s 2024 Dave… nearly time to start planning ;)
Wow, I'm sorry to hear you are blacklisted from Canada and the States! It was an amazing series though.
I bet the bull or whatever watched this
Weird to see someone else from the 716 here lmfao. Go bills.
@Kevin Prima Do you think all people just doing their job properly are like that?
Being a completely logical being and assuming you are too, you would only bet on that if you were totally sure...
and you can only be completely sure if you are the bull or whatever. Assuming that I wouldn't bet against you and we now know in fact that the bull or whatever watched this because you watched it and you are the bull or whatever
@@Quicksilver_Cookie you would have make a good SS in a concentration camp working so "properly"... If some guys want to take risk and die for it, who are you to forbid them ? With all the canadian who sadly suicide, your point is just selfish. Let people do whatever they want as far as they don't hurt anyone. Dying on an inspiring adventure is far from the worst thing you could do in life, but forbidding other to live or dies as they wish is.
@@ytrew9717 Somebody will have to scrub your intestines from the railway if you die in this manner. Deal with endless paperwork. Law enforcement will have to waste their time to investigate why was this "adventurer" where he wasn't supposed to be. Somebody might feel guilt for killing an idiot, even if it wasn't their fault. Of course living this way is not selfish in any way. Making people clean up your shit after you. Nope, not selfish.
Hello from St. John's, Newfoundland! Too bad your adventures got cut short. Neat to see you sitting in a seat in that little airport which I myself have sat on! Hahaha
Lots of freight outside of North America 👀
Well he’s back
Can't wait for the 2027 freight hop!
Me too, Mike! I'm already getting kit together for it.
Dave, you already have the kit :(
Brave Dave I'll put it on my calendar!
I have my popcorn out and ready for 2027
Extremely sad to hear this news. Hope you do some more hoping soon!!! You're the man!
I'm from the US, and I think the only thing worth coming here for, (at the moment), is the scenery. Definitely not a high point for my country right now.
Super bummed that you can't do the next one, but I expect to see it in 10 years. Will remaim subbed.
