Beginning a Grand Adventure into the Midwest | Travel Series | A Long Time Coming EP. 01

[@rowbradley]

Holy moly, you have raised the game on the production value of your series to an absolutely astounding level, and the storytelling is exceptional as always. Cheers and thanks for passing along the wanderlust.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Aw thank you so much! We raise the bar only for ourselves. And we already know we can do better. We are clearly into the thrill of the hunt!

[@VideoSchoolOnline]

Can't stop watching. Great stuff!

[@DavidKlenkFurniture]

I love how the video and sound track flow with the serenity of the landscape.

[@BikeRidez]

Amazing work! Well written, narrated, and shot. Not to mention the sound track and editing! Soooo many hours of work in that video.

[@BoundForNowhere]

HAHA Yes... lots and lots of hours... which is why it takes us over 6 months to produce a series after its shot

[@cichyALBUSprod]

Absolutely criminal that this doesn't have more views!!

[@22rek]

Woowww…I almost cried watching this! I fell in love with this area of North Dakota when I lived there for several years and the production of this video brought back some deep memories of a place I fell in love with. Thank you! You represented North Dakota’s beauty very well!! ❤️🥹

[@IbericaOverland]

Finally got time to enjoy it! We’ll done guys, always a pleasure to watch. A book recommendation, The River of Doubt. Cheers!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed and that book has been on our list for a while!

[@jesss.827]

As a midwesterner this makes me so happy 😭❤️

[@jackwalsh1468]

MAK, another awesome video. Something to consider. "John Muir" has a profound influence upon "Theodore Roosevelt" and the establishment of many national parks. Especially "Yosemite" I lived in "Moorhead, MN. just across the "Red River" from Fargo, ND 2001-2002 It would go from Summer in September and within two weeks and the first snows by October. Winter lasting till April. After two winters, back to California for me. My time in ND and MN. I met a lovely lady. She was 6ft tall, "Blood red" color hair and was Russo-Norge heritage. One of her favorite phrases was "Uff-Da Neiman" a Norwegian Phrase. Lots of meanings. My fondest memory is of her(Pat) standing next to a large portrait of her grandmother from 1907. Pat looked literally the living version of her Grandmother in every detail. I kid you not. Pat loved making quilts. Three of which I still have to this day. An awesome person. Cheers, Mate.

Yes ! Beautiful , amazing , and gorgeous ! ❤❤❤❤❤

Here here, Amen, Yup yup, Fo' Sho', Say it loud, Shaw 'Nuff, and agreed!

[@sherpaec]

Incredible and inspiring content, we can't wait for the next episode!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Awwwwww thanks friends! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@TurdBugler]

The slow-mo of the bison kicking up dirt reminded me of BBC Earth documentaries. I’ve been following your channel for a few years now, and it’s always been good, but your filming/story telling has truly improved drastically. You two have really outdone yourselves!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Awesome, thank you! I felt like this series finally felt like a concept realized. It feels so good to see and feel progress in your own work! But still, only up from here!

[@TheMsnwvu5]

Thanks for showing how beautiful our state really is.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Our pleasure! You are lucky to call it home!

[@KidSkid-72]

Soooo great... thanks for sharing!!! Music tis spot on also!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Awww thank you!

[@mtnmnchronicles]

Love the video, reciently moved to South Dakota from California. I am amazed at the diversity of landscapes in this region. Look forward to this series.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Did you really?! What a spectacular area! So much to explore! I hope the winter is treating you well!

[@patkeen8668]

Thanks for taking us along! Enjoyed every second of this and appreciate the presidential history lesson.

[@joanneteasdale4192]

Brilliant piece, thank you for sharing.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so so much!

[@1988shyam]

KZbin showed me your video after a long time. I am glad it did. Damm i wanna see these places because of you guys. Living the dream . Our lives should be lived like this.

[@TehKithy]

Being a Midwesterner who spends a lot of travel time out in the Rockies, we, of course, have to travel through NoDak, SoDak and Nebraska to get there. We have often stopped in Teddy Roosevelt and and the Black Hills area on our way through. Looking forward to more episodes!

[@BoundForNowhere]

That part of the country is so beautiful!

[@waynewelter]

So looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Us too! We are so stoked on how this series turned out!

[@johndiaz7240]

You two have an eye for interesting photos, thanks for introducing us to new places to visit.

[@marianfrances4959]

I'm in love with our entire continent, prairies included! Thanks for the awesome video! 👍😎🇨🇦🌾

[@BoundForNowhere]

Me too!!

[@ThatBaldwinLife]

The color grading on this video is perfect. The golden color gives the feel of the long sunsets of the midwest prairies. Excellent. nate

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! Jackson did such a wonderful job achieving the look we were after for this series!

[@garyaaron8425]

Yay!!!! "They're back!" No more teasers.....My heart can take it. New series, Who wants chocolate...its exasperating. 😉 Welcome back and can't wait for more. Take care and be safe

[@BoundForNowhere]

HAHAH I know i know. in the heat of the moment I don't always sound as eloquent as I do in my VOs ;) Happy to be back!

[@toyotires]

Awesome!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Aw! Thank you all for watching! Can't wait for more!

[@geekahertz]

Hard not to get emotional watching your work

[@BoundForNowhere]

Really?! I didn't think I had made a tear jerker this time!

[@chad2886]

Wow! That was great. Nice to see the Lake Placid patch ADK!

[@mitchhoten3922]

I worked in Bismark years ago, had no idea I was so close to all of that.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Nooo wayyy?! Yeah there is a lot of wonderful things in that area!

[@bobhewlett3633]

Fantastic episode. Loved the animation at the beginning, the music, the outtakes, the mixed perspective at the end, and…the scenery. Anxious to see the rest of the series. Bravo.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! We have a lot of fun with the shots at the end. Feels like a space for us to let our hair down a little ;) more to come!

Growing up in ND I am always excited to see more KZbin creators heading to check out ND :)

[@BoundForNowhere]

It’s so lovely we had such a blast!

[@CarolynJoAnn]

Amazing video! Wow! I can't believe I've never actually commented this but you've both been HUGE inspirations in my life. From your Sunrader days you inspired us to buy a 4WD Toyota Galaxy and finally pursue the life we've always dreamed of. You continue to inspire me and I'm so grateful for it. Pumped for the rest of this series!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Wow, that means to world to me to hear! I hope that you are having a blast out there wherever you are! We are so lucky to live in this world and I think it's always a worth while effort to go out there and get to know it!

[@jmpmusva]

Nice artwork!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much!

[@dholowack]

It’s such a treat to settle in and enjoy your new series! Thanks so much!

Bison seem especially huge when you find yourself next to one on the road while on your motorcycle!

[@BoundForNowhere]

HAHA that they do!

[@loricollins3163]

just woke up and are watching this while drinking my morning coffee ☕

[@BoundForNowhere]

Truly, that is the best way to do it ;)

[@elevenoverland]

Incredible work - you guys have yet again set the bar even higher and stocked the adventure fires within!! Can only imagine what was going through your mind getting that ‘epic’ slow-mo bison crap-spray during the end credits!! 😂😂😂

[@BoundForNowhere]

Hahahhaha we laughed so hard! We are weirdly good at getting footage of animals pooping! 🙃

[@kinlinkollective]

Truly transcending...I get the same feeling from your films as I do walking into my house to be greeted by my dog each day, the same feeling I get on trivia night every Monday at our local pub, the same feeling as clicking "purchase" on an airline website knowing soon an adventure awaits....and that feeling is joy. Your films bring such joy and inspiration and I truly thank you for that, slainte!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Oh my goodness that was such a lovely compliment. I know the feeling you speak of. I get it when I remember my favorite people exist. When we lay eyes on a new landscape that we've never seen before. When Owen does something unexpected and thoughtful. Actually, I get that feeling a lot... and it is an honor to hear that I get to pass that feeling along

[@johnsellers3287]

Opening monologue is so humble & truthful. You two & some friends have been to so many nooks and crannies but there’s that much more to discover and learn. Mak I really applaud your writing & narration. Owen you to are an absolute energy driving this a special journey. Only one episode in and this just tastes & feels different. You both are just so good at what you do. This & the last series (if not all your vids) should be required viewing to everyone, especially the impressionable youth of today. Thank you both. You should be excitedly proud of yourselves.

[@BoundForNowhere]

That is the sweetest compliment, thank you! We love what we do so it always warms our hearts to hear that it comes through in the finished product!

[@Overlanding]

Absolutely love your style of videography guys. Heard of you from Brian and Christina and just saw this video... Stunned. Will continue to follow your journey. Stay safe, happy travels and best greetings from Mexico. ❤

[@justincreamer5404]

woah this is wild. you guys have amazing sponsors. it wasnt always like this. so so so happy for you guys. production top notch. this is no vlog anymore

[@jeanne-gord7685]

Welcome back :) We missed you. Love M645. I had one in my 20s. Huge by todays standards but very do-able. I lugged mine all over the place shooting landscapes. Lucky you.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Yeah it is such a blast to shoot with! I'd eventually like to go to a 6x7 but this will do for now ;)

[@lynnerikson3622]

Great episode! Love the photography and all the wildlife!

[@willhoyer]

Last summer we left Glacier NP early one morning, got a flat tire, fixed it, made it across Montana and drove into TRNP just in time to catch the sunset at an overlook. You guys were there and that's why I found your channel. I probably have a couple shots with you in it. It is a beautiful place and wish we'd had a bit more time to explore it! Looking forward to Ep 2.

[@BoundForNowhere]

No wayyyyy that is hilarious and such a small world! How cool was that area?! Gosh we just loved it so much!

[@Lucky-Lucy330]

Well here we go again another great start But on a new level of travel. And editing beyond your normal great start Can’t wait for every week to come and see more Of what we never seen before. Thank you again be safe

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thanks a ton! I hope that you like the way it plays out!

This was a beautiful video in two of my favorite parks, I visit every year. You really captured the beauty. I wish you could have captured the beautiful mustangs. I go to Theodore Roosevelt National Park just to photograph them. Makoshika is such a gem. The Midwest has many beautiful places to visit, too. Thank you for all your hard work to show us your amazing videos.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah we are sad we never saw them while we were there! What a special area that we will always wish we had more time in!

Last time, when your Alaska series came out, my wife and I had just spent a summer up there exploring in our truck camper. Last summer we explored Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, and Nebraska before returning to our home in Colorado. It is so rewarding seeing the area we traveled through through your camera. You two are the best! Thanks for all you do.

[@BoundForNowhere]

[@melondoo6129]

YES!! Im sooooo loving this new series!! Always love your videos and can't wait for the next one

[@AdventureOtaku]

if you haven't read it, check out "The River of Doubt" by Candice Millard. It's the journey that almost killed him. He did it with his son Kermit - whose son, also named Kermit almost single handedly overthrew the government of Iran and installed the Shah. Which has nothing to do with the River of Doubt but is an equally fascinating story.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Great recommendation as it has been on my list for a long time!

[@BoundForNowhere]

It feels good to have something you want to achieve and to be able to make it happen. The fact that we can make that happen is really not lost on us. We feel so lucky to have access to these places, brands that are willing to back us so we can spend two months wandering around with our cameras, then 6 months to make something out of it, and to be able to now afford an editor. It feels like our powers are growing and it is wildly rewarding
