Attitude and patience are key!! You set a great example, always better to do things right so things are better down the line. Congrats on this next step
Appreciate that Anas! We just treated this transition like a border crossing on steroids. The hardest part was doing the majority of it without Brittany and Caspian. They simply make life better. ❤️ ~ Eric
Thank you Whitley! I think a lot of it has to do with expectations. You just mentally prepare yourself and remind yourself that today will end one way or the other. We’ve made it through 100% of our most challenging days so far. Appreciate the encouragement! ~ Eric
Wow all of those steps are nuts! You have the patience of a saint Eric!! Happy that you got Dauntless back in one piece. She looks happy in South America :)
Thanks Vanessa! You're going to give DAUNTLESS an identity crisis, we've always referred to DAUNTLESS as a "he." But we are really happy to have him back. We can't wait to start exploring South America together. ~ Eric
@@s.o.s.diyrepair6343 not really sure. I'm a retired military sailor and we always referred to our ships as females. Like "She's rolling to port captain!" But with our Jeeps they've always somehow been masculine in the way we refer to them. Both our North American overland rig we call GUARDIAN and our global overland rig we call DAUNTLESS have always been referred to as "he" ~ Eric
It all turned out well! So we're happy for everyone. And I was able to help them start their motorcycle before I left using our jumper! Overlanders helping overlanders. This is the way. ~ Eric
Thank you Josh. Glad you found this helpful. It was a very long, but doable process and it feels so good to be on the other side of it. Appreciate you being part of our journey and if you ever have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out. ~ Eric
@@s.o.s.diyrepair6343 he straight up hugs DAUNTLESS every time we've been separated. Wait until you see him in our next video. His sense of wonder is really special. He has a lot action in our next video which is already up on our Patreon. It should be publicly available this Sunday if all goes well. ~ Eric
Olga, welcome to our channel. So glad you found us and hope you enjoy the journey with us. We try our best to respond to every comment though sometimes it takes us a bit to get to them all. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and we hope to hear from you again! ~ Eric
"Driver's license and proof of insurance, please. I noticed your registration sticker expired in June". Call me a "professional observationist"🙂 Is that part of the permit system you will have to deal with in each country?
These countries wouldn't know a US registration if it bit them in the backside. So they don't bother with that. Now when we ship DAUNTLESS back to the USA, that's going to be a bit of a delinquency. We'll cross that bridge like all others when we come to it. Sharp eyes my friend sharp eyes. ~ Eric
Hey Linework. I guess that depends on what currency you are using. The cost for both sides Panama and Colombia was about $2000USD total. However that cost fluctuates with all kinds of things like how many container buddies you have and the current price of oil in the world. Hope that helps. Also, I do my best to respond to every comment but it is getting harder. Sorry it took so long to respond to yours. With the holidays, we took a short break. But we just published a video about Barichara which is the most highly recommended place to visit here in Colombia. Hope you check it out! ~ Eric
8:01 Is that what getting a puppy looks like in the US!?!?! 😀 SERIOUSLY!?!??! VISIT it, then "do a bunch of paperwork" and then come back AGAIN and they will ALLOW you to take it home!?!??! 😀 What a crazy country! 😀 Here, in "the rest of the world" you come to wherever they sell them/give them away, say "I want that one" and they say "Oh thank you, sir, because we didnt know what to do with them all". Do they do a background check, too? Call the sheriff to ask if they can give you a dog? 😀 Is the CIA involved?

Am I calculating this wrong or did it cost you a $190,638.00 to ship you Jeep.

@@HourlessLife sounds very appealing. Do you attempt to ship your jeep to Iceland one day maybe? It’s one of our bucket list destinations.

It is COMPLICATED to adopt a pet in the USA. Where are you from Maloy? ~ Eric
Wow no way to much 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 to get ur jeep out there.
Not really when you compare moving a home to a new continent. With as many nights as we spend in the Jeep it all works out well. ~ Eric
