- Exploring the Demilitarized zone of Vietnam by motorbike with @baldandbankrupt and @BackpackerBen, the locals of the DMZ made me feel welcome.... Even as an American.
Tim. NamVet Jim here. 3tours. 67, 68, 69. 2nd tour during Tet. Heavy battle at the Ben Hai river. We made a landing there. The tracer bullets were non-stop for hours. Deafening heavy artillery. Damaged my hearing. Looking forward to catching up with you when Arlene, my filipina wife and I come back to visit our college kids at our Cebu condo.
Good job on the Vietnam run. It was intense to see some of my active locations. Better when half the country isn't trying to kill you. Still not sure I would risk a visit. I do not have a gentle history there. Try to help that Back Pack goof step up. He's a good kid, but...🙂
Much respect James. I have had a few mentors who were Vietnam Vets from the Long Beach VA. Glad you made it home and raised a family. You are always welcome at the K house in Southern Leyte if you are in the area. Because of you, I was treated much better coming home from Iraq.
Hooah~
@James, Vietnam is different now….we all want to forget the past and look forward to the future….I’ve seen some Vets come back and it helped bring closure to whatever anxiety they held onto….good luck to whatever you decide to do
James as Vet, thank you, much respect and being stationed overseas 9 out 16 q/2 years I feel more comfortable in Asia the America, the US is a war waiting to happening! Similar to Vietnam but for different ideals
Thanks Tom. You're a good man. I never miss an episode. I wear a Vietnam hat to find my brothers. Just like my WW2 DAD, we are becoming rare. I'm 75 in March and still drive a big rig to support my college crew. After I succeeded in getting Arlene here to the USA, the condo became a dorm. I even moved our nephew from Leyte there to finish high school, and I'm encouraging him to become a crypto/computer tech. On my dime, of course. Changing the direction of this amazing family is an awesome adventure. Careful Tom. Dale is growing up soooo fast! Good on you and Krissy.
Great video Tim and great riding with you!
Thanks for the invite and your friendship. I'm always ready to ride comrade.
Hi bald👋🏻
I’m loving this trip with all of you!! When I first went to Vietnam I thought the people would hate us for what we did and may have deserved. I was amazed at how nice and wonderful they were to me as an American. Beautiful people but as we’ve learned don’t piss them off.
The motorbike packing is pure US Army style. Dan Rather lives! Great narrative Tim of the 1968 Tet offensive. I missed the draft for the military by 1 year. But I have vivid memories of watching the horrors of the Vietnam war on TV every night. I lost friends, my friends lost brothers, we all felt the anguish of the war here. This Vietnam series is amazing! Thank you
Thanks Calbo. I really appreciate the positive feedback on my simple narrative. My father also narrowly missed the war. Being here really brings it to life to me for further study.
That first girl shouting at you to get a ticket was adorable. She's the proverbial "girl next door" (In Vietnam anyway), but, just an all around cutie.
True! She's your typical vietnamese girl and you are right, a total cutie. They are all over the place there. I need to go back! haha. It's so fun to joke around a little with them like Tim did.
Tim , it is amazing to watch this . Your experience traveling abroad has really paid off . It’s great to see the trust you have in the locals when handing them a roll of bills in hope they don’t rip you off ! Press on my friend , take care .
and if they do, chalk it up the the whiteboy tax :D it be like that sometimes :P
Tim you crack us up dude 😂😂 nice work! Bald and handbag boy are so unorganized lol
“Are you coming with me to the bridge?” Can’t blame the lad for trying 😂
Tim, I love your upbeat style. And I appreciate your honoring of both sides of what I feel was a meaningless war. Cudos to you
Vietnamese girl is fantastic! Best wishes to you.
Hi, Tim I’ve been following you watching your channel. I like the way you vlog, not only informative but also not boring. Keep up the good work and kudos to your family. I’m a Filipino migrated here in California in 1978 and build a happy family. I watched your videos whenever I find time. Thank you for showing every aspect of the Philippine good or bad.
Vietnamese people are so friendly, and the food wonderful !!!
That convo with the woman at the ticket office was painful tim!
Dude is incredibly awkward in conversation
@@bobbybiskins6720 ''Are you fast. Are you a fast lady'' She deserved better than that line
Fantastic work, the locals are so hospitable, from North to South. In Da Nang, I would go to random neighborhoods and they offered photos with me (2016). The generations lost in misfortune is unfathomable and spirits are still kept high 40 years later.
Hello, Vietnamese here, 17:08 the quote means "The south (is) in my heart". Oh, a tip for you heading to the south: the weather might get wetter and colder between Huế and Đà Nẵng, so be ready for some rain near the mountain range between those two cities. I'm really enjoying the Vietnam series! Keep it up and wish you all the best on your journey. Form Hà Nội with love.
thanks for hosting us and the support!
Nice to see you traveling with other vloggers again. I like seeing the different perspectives.
Enjoying these videos from you and Bald, Vietnam always fascinates me. Very friendly people.
Hi Tim, Floyd here from Gardena, CA. Love the video, Vietnam is a beautiful country! Yes, most are familiar, it's a joy to see a peaceful country, that has opened its doors to the world. Most people here in the west who have never traveled to Vietnam still think of it as an unsafe place to travel. I will definitely be putting Vietnam on my bucket list. Thank Tim!
Việt Nam cực kì an toàn và luôn chào đón mọi người ❤
Be careful, the women there are so beautiful, you might not be able to leave!
Yes! Just watched Balds upload, now I get to enjoy breakfast while watching yours!
So awesome two POVs in the same day.... You guys are killing it!
Thank you for the Great Video again Tim. I would love to visit Vietnam someday. Very humble people. Safe travels my friend. 🙏
Vietnam has always been intriguing to me..I am old enough to remember the war at least the end of it, I have many loved ones that came back never the same after it. It's a beautiful country for sure and the people seem lovely. I am sure it probably hold a lot of emotions for you Tim. Great content again Sir !
Thanks for the kind words and thoughtful feedback as always. Many never came back and I have spent time with many who did.
@@TimKyoutube ..you are right, Tim. Many didn't make it back.
God bless our troops past, present and future and God bless America.
Really enjoying these Vietnam videos. I'll be there in January and traveling from Saigon up the coast to Hanoi with several stops.
Awesome video mate, my wife and I travel to Vietnam regularly to see her family, such a beautiful country and very friendly people, looking forward to the next video
I'm glad you remembered to gas up first since you were on empty. Incredible collaboration! Interesting traffic intersection with nobody having the right of way but it seemed to work. It was very nice of you to remind people of our military sacrifices. The lady at the DMZ was very kind and informative. Fantastic tea! 🙂 Ben takes his armband serious. I wonder if it really helped with the locals? Touching comments at the museum. Some delicious looking food at the Japanese restaurant. That new helmet looks good on you Tim! Incredible scenery! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video Tim!
I agree with you about the people. They are fantastic.
Ho Chi Min was considered a hero to many in those parts...thank you Tim great Honor
I'm always amazed to see that Vietnamese people today don't seem to hold any sort of grudge against America for what happened, and they're still paying the price of it today with many Vietnamese babies still born with malformations and diseases linked to the countless amounts of toxic herbicide dropped onto their country from 1961 to 71. It's incredible that they have managed to go forth, not to forget but to forgive, where other people seem to hold an eternal grudge for past events that date back centuries.
Time has an amazing way of healing. We (USA) put the Japanese in camps and now they are one of our closest (if not the closest) ally in the region. There is hope for change and time without war... I speak of this in an upcoming episode.
Really enjoying the ride with you's the history, scenery and hospitality
This is one of you best videos this year. I hope your journey makes all the way to Saigon and beyond. Go to Saigon, then head west through Cambodia and keep going all the way to Western Laos. I would watch every video you did.
Excellent vlog Tim. Very relaxed style. Thanks for the tour.
Subscribed to all three of you - love your vids and the different perspectives you guys bring. Love the country too.
Thank you for another awesome video Tim
For a bunch of professional travellers they sure packed like it was their first time
Its for the content and adventure
Hi Tim. Your trip brings many memories back ! I was there 1968-1970. So I can relate Your trip is a hoot. I contacted few nam buddy's and more views for the blog for sure. ! I have a feeling that we may follow your trail. I lived in Phil. for short time and been a follower on the blog for a while. Keep tabs on the other two bro. take care Otto from Florida USA
Appreciate the feedback Otto. Otto is a family name for us as well. My cousin and my great grandfather. Thank you for paving the way for guys like me who came later. Iraq 08-09.
7:40 she pulled out a 10k first and a 50k second….so 60k total….Vietnamese people are good at knowing the bills by just looking at the color of the bills 😊
Isn't it common when you are so used to your own money
Another great video. Far too many innocent people die during war and millions of Vietnamese lost their lives. 50+ years later and innocent people are still dying due to war in Ukraine. Will humankind find a way of resolving its differences that doesn’t involve killing one another.
exactly
Tim December 1964 I was in country and I served three tours and I left February 1968. I was in the United States Navy as an electrician my job was to keep the gunboats on the river running. They would come and get me when one of the boats was broke down up the river. Talk about a Sitting Duck, I learned one thing it's amazing how fast you can fix something when people are shooting at you, you can really focus
Right on Robert. That is awesome that you shared that. Yup, no use spending more time in the fatal funnel than you need to. Guys of your era are not forgotten... especially by me.
Hi Tim,
its seem like you 3 having fun traveling inVietnam. its fun and excitement to watch this video, thank you for sharing
Outstanding video. Looking forward to next video. Thanks
Great to see you all together enjoy drive carefully
Hey glad to see the boys back on your harrold Ben and Timmy
Next stop should be Hue, the largest battle of Nam and the setup for Full Metal Jacket. Besides, the city is just simply incredible.
Great adventure Tim 👍🏼
Just discovered your channel after watching Bald's video and I must say that I really enjoy watching your vlogs, so much so that I've subscribed to your channel!😊😊 I sincerely hope that you'll keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your future vlogs! Sending all my love, thoughts, best wishes and support from Brunei.
Dude you are freaking hilarious. Great video again.
I appreciate that!
Awesome video Tim 🤙 mahalo for sharing. Hope to see you guys do more adventures together need Harald and the old gang is back
Love it, these travel videos are true fun 👍
Totally agree with you. As an American citizen, I feel shame for what the Vietnamese experienced during our war.
Great job on this tour Tim, laughing my ass off😂 Cheers from Vancouver 🇨🇦
Thanks dude
What no rain? DMZ line North / South amazing journey. Troops never had that luxury of gps in war time. It is a somber feeling knowing what they must of went through we can only imagine. Great video Tim 😃👍👍
Great stuff Tim
Enjoying your trip here. Thanks
When I order coffee in Vietnam , I ask for hot water to dilute it down. For you coffee lovers , you might think it’s a sin but Vietnamese coffee is too strong for my taste. You are just too funny Tim 😂🤣😂. And you thought Filipinos were the friendliest people until until you came to Vietnam 😀😀.
Loving the videos so far tim wish you all the best brother safe journey
Great series! Full of interest!
“I have no idea why I go through so much petrol” Same reason why you have trouble fitting in that xxxl jacket
I pin it to win it dude
@@TimKyoutube you’re a diesel at it
Very interesting. Thanks for posting. YT is nerfing this series, I would have watched a long time ago if it was on my YT video feeds like normal.
You would think youtube would want to give some extra support to someone on gender affirming hormones like me
Happy Holidays to you and yours and Have Happy New Year 🎄🎆🎊
Enjoying your videos Tim .👍
Another great video bro my dad served in Vietnam it changed him forever
coming to Vietnam now will heal the wound in his heart
Great video Tim 2 thumbs up my brother!!!!
Thanks dude
It's amazing that all three of you on those motorbikes with the pouring rain you drove through that you're not sick
I’m experiencing ur adventure without the hardships!…. It’s great!
Glad to see you again
Another fun but also poignant episode. This is the first time watching any Vietnam vlog and you guys have made it a great introduction to the country for me. Cheers :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Tim, I watch all three of you guys and I have to say, your perspective is great because it shows the other two from your point of view...not only you.
Good luck you "Three Amigos"!
Chevy would be proud!
thanks, it is a mix of all of us together and doing our own thing at times
@@TimKyoutube yes, but you add a little more of each. Both guys are great, however!
Hey Tim you should visit more countries and provide more content other than the Philippines, your videos are more fun and informative!!
Thanks Jeyson. This is a special one for me. Some videos and countries mean more to me than others. This one is a special one for me personally.
I find this program very interesting being i have followed both channels and now find them merged into one
I'm subed, but now following ALL.. of Time K content, all good stuff, and your a Cali local, real for me.....Capt. FCass here, seventy year old now, thanks Tim K..
right on frank. good to have you on the team.
awesome!
I was there in 1968 but was in the delta about 85 miles south of Saigon
I'm really enjoying the Vietnam series! Would be awesome if once in a while you can travel to other places and vlog. Hopefully it can bring you lots of subscribers and cash as well
Very good. Not the best weather but enjoying your trip. Am supprised Backpacker Ben has lasted this long. Would be great to spend a few months touring around Nam on a bike.
Dinky dao, you have to buy ticket. Nice trip, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
I love these collabs
Absolutely Awesome Video Series About yourRoad Tip in Vietnam Trip Got Away for a Few Days

Bald in his gumby outfit is very funny Tim great video by the way
Nice setup Tim, by looking at your touring rig you were clearly in army.
Vietnam Vet , I have a neighbor and I call him agent Orange, he is a funny guy,
Fitst writing behide hi chi Minh said south Vietnam in my heart
Nice Vietnamese Ladies Tim enjoyable journey in Vietnam.
Missed opportunity not playing Ride Of The Valkyries on your phone when the guy confiscated your tea xD
Tim,the writing on the wall behind Ho Chi Minh says "South Vietnam is in my Heart".
interesting vlog
CAn't wait for more.
Tim...A good tour.
Dam Bong is from the French word Jambon which means Ham . The Vietnamese pronounce it Zam Bong
cool
Tim flirts with every girl he comes into contact with !
It’s all for the camera. 90% of this channel is men.
By the way, the gas station attendant's name is Le ;)
Wherever balder goes there is always a mosiac🤣👍
