We drive the perfect overland vehicle! lol but you are right it’s about the journey not the mode of transportation But of course an indoor toilet is nice when you get older, as always fantastic drone footage your a master pilot Alex!

Dude the transformation on the van from white to the color off today you're guys home looks so amazing dude good job on it you really put that van to the test great job 😊

Amazing video and narrative. Thanks so much for sharing. So true, our rigs are our "homes" and our adventure companions. They develop a life of their own and are like family.

For the "no see ums" try lighting a mosquito coil in the camper. When my wife and I made a trip to Inuvik, we met a couple from Texas who where treveling to Alaska, and asked us how were were coping with the moskitoes in the truck camper. No problem when you light up a "Pic Mosquito Coil". We gave them a small piece to try overnight (we were both camping overnight at the Wal Mart parking lot in Whitehorse, Yukon. The next morning they could not believe how well these worked. They went to the Wal Mart and bought some right away. They really work! e

What a fantastic video, & you nailed in perfectly. I’m in my late 50s, & I’ve traveled all over Australia for yrs in an old car with no air cond, no coffee maker etc. I tell people now to get out, & just enjoy it outside, & to have fun. I now travel in a 90 VW Syncro Vanagon. It’s slow, un reliable but it makes me happy, & that’s the main thing. Just travel in what you already own.

I love your perspective on this! I think it is the Van Halen music video for the song “Right Now,” that reminds us, “Right now your memories are getting longer, while your life is getting shorter.” I owned my old VW for 15 years before having to trade it in for our new rig. That old van was slow, broke down a lot, and wasn’t very comfortable to drive. It was however, an old friend and I knew what each little rattle and squeak meant and also what it meant when a new one developed. Because of our “relationship” I almost didn’t mind when it would leave us stranded (almost). Your experiences and abilities as a driver dictate what you need in a vehicle. Sometimes that makes you feel pretty macho about things, other times you realize you don’t need that suspension upgrade, because you’ll never use it and that can be humbling. Maybe that’s the point though? Get out there, be humbled, learn about your vehicle and learn about yourself at the same time. Live life now because it’s getting shorter, but keep a journal too, which will become longer and longer. I have a paper one in my van, but your video ones here are over the top! Thanks for taking us along on the ride!

I remember when overlanding was called car camping. 🤷🏼‍♂️

very cool video.

Great scenery for sure. Was it B-roll you hadn't used? Hows the trip going? I hope well. Go luck to you both.

What a beautiful video!

You can tell Betty is heavy, but she sure has taken the abuse.

how has the liner held up?

My first “overlanding” vehicle was a 12 year old, 2 wheel drive bowtie suburban with VERY low mileage and in excellent (garaged) condition, that I bought off my dad for 1K back in 1990? maybe 🤷‍♂️ These days I’m running a one owner (me) 2014 Tundra Double Cab with 114K miles, a 6.5 ft bed, an ARE cap and some KO2’s. The cap, running boards, and the sweet tires are the only upgrades. All my other overlanding needs (camping & off roading gear) are in totes and get loaded as the trip requires.

The first ferry you took WAS NOT on the Mackenzie, that was the Peel River.... Just sayin'

Yes...i too love the metal Gods....keep on 😅

Ive been watching your videos since 5am this morning and its now after 8pm. Been binge watching all i can..i love your videos so much. Id much rather watch your amazing scenic videos than a fake movie any day. Your voice is soothing and just so relaxing. You guys are pros at this. Its just as good quality as the nsture channel or history channel. Also your Meg is something special. So sweet and gorgeous and her cooking looks amazing. Youre a lucky man. Or actually youre both lucky. I love how you both take care of one another in different ways. You work so well together. Its refreshing and makes me happy ❤ thank you both sooo much 😊 safe travels.

EPIC video!!! Absolutely stunning scenery, magnificent filmmaking, and Betty is looking mighty fine in her native habitat 🗻🏞️🏔️🌄

Your absolutely right 👍. Driving skills is very important and selection of conditions and limitations of the vehicle should be kept in mind then your their . Too extreme roads will stop any powerful vehicle. Happy days ahead healthy lifestyle with mind blowing places ❤❤😊.

This seriously could be an ad for Chevy Express. 😂 Even though your van isn't factory, Chevrolet needs to sponsor you after this video!!!! 😮😊

Run what ya brung! Ever onward Betty.

❤️🤗❤️🤗👩❤️🤗🚐

Once again, amazing video, especially knowing that it was segments shot over multiple years. The vistas and landscapes you capture are breathtaking. And so true about the vehicle. Some of my favourite vehicles over the years were far from perfect, usually the more "personality" quirks the vehicle had, the more endearing it was, as long as it was reliable and met my needs at the time.

You know what you are talking about, you earned it fully! What a masterpiece! ❤❤❤

True: the van and it's driver is a very co-dependant relationship. One can't survive without the other... 👍 Rock on 🙂.

Betty is bad ass bodacious van. And yeah she has some pretty neat passengers too. Excited for the next adventure.

My brain keeps drawing parallels to romantic relationships. Next in series “There Is No Perfect Partner.” But when you winch a relationship out of the ditch, you find what it’s capable of!

In my opinion you have the best off road vehicle , love your videos !

Wow, the places you've seen, the "roads" you've traveled, and that van you've made into your overland queen .. Badass Betty! She's a beast and you're amazing!! What a team, all three of you.

Good one guys.

I wonder why you are not wearing those hats with mesh netting for your face, protect from mosquitoes? And,not spraying your clothes down with mosquito spray with deet? Surely not your first rodeo with hiking in the woods? Anyways,loved the stunning scenary.Thanks for all your effort. Those are places I'll never see in my lifetime,but you made it possible! Great job! Look forward to more,new subscriber!😊

I am really jealous of all your drone work. I loaned my drone to a friend three years ago who crashed it never recovered it. He replaced it but then borrowed that one and I’ve yet to see it.

Overlanding is just what the cool kids now call car/vehicle based camping; what I did for 45 years. All you need is food, water, shelter, and some form of transportation, anything beyond that it’s just a luxury.

.First..🤣 ..omg ..what a view .!!!

It’s impossible, until it’s not. Well done.

First time watching. Very well done. Just subscribed !!

🎶 go betty, go betty, go betty 🎶 i was cheering along with you! wow.

very cool. Once Upon A Time in Canada.

tres cool. i would follow your lead with this but would have to save for like 5 years to be able to (i may just yet)

Thanks!

You guys are Locos Locos Locos 😂❤❤❤❤ really nice trip we are in V Island Parksville and that trip to Prince Rupert is for us a plan now that rout is incredible beautiful congrats... And you said ...what's wrong with you guys jajajajaj😅❤❤

I don't know about no see ems, but for mosquitoes, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a regular sized Windex bottle works well.

We haven’t driven to the Yukon and AK for 20 years but want to do it in 2027. Would you say that putting a wrap onto the truck is necessary to prevent the pinstriping of the paint? Also, I can’t believe you took your 2WD van through those sections!

Thanks for the video of the Salmon Glacier. For folks in Prince George; its only a 700 km drive to Hyder. If you go in August you can see Grizzlies chowing down on Salmon in Fish creek.

I would totally do this trek. grew up in Prince George BC,. Great Job you Two!!! Your not Crazy. Just love seeing our gorgeous province. Beautiful drone work.
