British Columbia Van Life | This is Our LAST Back Road

As always we’re on the move and, this time, down our last back road before taking some time away from Van Life. Join us in the BC Interior as we navigate among BC's many giants and travel back to our home and family. Nestle into a crackling campfire with us or join Meg as she laughs her head off watching Alex attempt to take a cold dip in a glacier-fed lake. It's all part of the van life road and what Alex calls our "minimalist lifestyle centered around travel, rooted in the desire to live a life abundant in experiences, memories, and the freedom to relish simple pleasures."
As always, thanks for watching.

Meg's laugh is infectious!

Spectacular British Columbia! Loved seeing Meg laugh her head off. 😂

BC, it doesn’t get much better.

[@SlowRoamers]

Laugh all you want tuts!

Fun to watch!

Thanks for watching!🙌🏻

[@ToyotaWorldRunners]

Loved it. Especially loved the inner child monologue!

[@SlowRoamers]

Gotta stay young somehow!😁 Thabks for watching, friends.

[@Straitjacket808]

Great video. Awesome scenery. Nice van

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching!🙌🏻

[@tikienvy4814]

Man! I guess the water is warmer, but it’s hard for me to see what Baja has on BC and why you’d ever want to leave. That is some pretty spectacular scenery! I appreciate the effort you went to, to get some of those action scenes. Someone was left behind more than once with the camera while the other drove off and back with the van to get the shot. Well done! We all know that Meg is tougher, but the way in which the tenor of your voice grew ever higher as your tender manhood dipped beneath the surface of that lake was truly precious! You make good points about finding balance in life and staying young at heart. As Mrs. Tiki Envy and I teeter on the cusp of retirement from the “grind” you so wisely view with trepidation, we eagerly anticipate the time to savor for ourselves the freedom and travels you currently enjoy, and appreciate your videos all the more. Thanks so much for taking us along!

[@SlowRoamers]

I’d say it’s about the experiencing what’s foreign. We’ve both grown up in B.C., and honestly, winters suck up here. So, Baja is a great escape. This was a fun one to shoot, I was certainly jumping with joy to be back in the homeland. One day we’ll explore BC far more thoroughly, but most likely with a more capable vehicle. Thanks, as always, for watching. So glad you enjoyed our little recount of this small sliver of our home. 😊

Because all places have a certain beauty and why not experience them all...

[@birdden4x4ambulanceoverland]

Well ,your vids just KEEP get better guys. Thanks. I can’t believe the similarities of northern Idaho and BC.

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks guys.😊 I think the location made the video, honestly. Idaho is a state we’d really like to return to.

[@noxtwilight_]

Beautiful thank you for sharing. I don't know how you don't spend days at each place! I'd never be able to do a new place every day. Once in a while yes but wow. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing a place more intimatly. Especially one like that! I sure wish I realized what an amazing place I was in but kids don't do they. It's wonderful to see it.

[@SlowRoamers]

We’ve got itchy feet, but also we were due to be with family, so we couldn’t stay as long as we’d have liked.

[@1luckyleppy]

First time watching this channel. This is fabulous editing and documenting. I was dying watching you both getting in the water; I’m not going past my balls. 🇨🇦🔥

[@SlowRoamers]

😁😁😁 glad you found us and glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the kind words. We’ll continue our cold dip endeavors, so there will be plenty of me squealing like a little girl. 🤣

I been outta touch for a couple of weeks and what did I find? Lookee there! Just ticked over 10.7k subs today! Alright. Good job Meg & Alex.

[@SlowRoamers]

Yessir! Making our way to 11k😊

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

The videography was really outstanding. Also, the drone footage was great. Curious as to what drone you’re using. This was a nice video, thanks for sharing!😀👍

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks for the kind words. 😊 I’m using a DJI Air 2S.

[@lynnnorthrup8914]

Good choice, that’s what I am flying. Also, narration is stellar! Thanks and adventure safely.

[@brother_dana]

Driving real slowly on those bumpy backroads also will greatly extend the life of your suspension. I go at a snail's pace myself, and let all the 4x4 offroad boys pass me!

[@SlowRoamers]

Yeahhhh, no choice, eh? Oh well, it’s why we call ourselves the Slow Roamers.🤣

[@sylvainlaforest4393]

Brrrr… great video as usual. It inspired me to buy a propane outdoor shower for our van. Great to see you are home.

[@SlowRoamers]

Hahaha, yes indeed, quite cold. We’re ditching our solar shower for the summer, fully intending to take on the cold Canadian waters while we travel north. Thanks for watching, Sylvain!

[@Lakesidelife]

Genuine cold plunge 😂

[@SlowRoamers]

Right?! Wouldn’t be right without a few squeals from a grown man.🤣🤣

Post the repair videos, we want to see those.

[@SlowRoamers]

They’re coming!!

[@reidcrosby6241]

3:50.... boom truck to create a highline ability to extract logs? "Spur truck" not sure what they would call that ... historically a spur tree was used. Not sure those are "first growth" .... most would've been long gone and much much larger.

[@SlowRoamers]

Oh, very interesting! Thanks for that tidbit of info, I love seeing the different pieces of equipment used back in the day. I think some of the trees could have been second growth, but some of the larger logs had to be well over 100 years old.

[@wayoftheroads]

Really enjoyed this one guys! I can safely say I fully understand the difficulty of making it past that midway point whilst doing your polar dip 🤣. Hope to see you out there one day. Cheers !

[@SlowRoamers]

Hey hey! Glad you guys enjoyed it. Yeah, that water was SUPER frigid. We’ll be wandering the island in due time, so we’re close.😉

[@malimish]

"Freaking heck gosh dang it!" haha that water must be cold yet the channel still remains kid friendly (As you dunk your balls)

[@SlowRoamers]

Hahaha, yep, exercising my breadth of Canadian curse words.🤣 The water was MOST DEFINITELY cold. Thanks for watching!😊

[@offthemainroad]

So nice to discover you on KZbin! 🤩 We're currently overlanding to Southeast Asia, but already dreaming of driving from Alaska to Argentina, this beautiful video only let us dream even more ❤

[@SlowRoamers]

Thanks you two! I just found you both yesterday and subscribed. Your travels look amazing and we’re dreaming of Africa/ Stan’s and possibly further one day as well. We’ll be on the road doing the Pan Am for the next two years, but if you ever make it to Canada while we’re there, look us up!🙌🏻

[@offthemainroad]

@@SlowRoamers We for sure will do!! Already looking forward meeting you both some day in the future! Safe travels 🍀

[@paulipuhakka8788]

I've been on the same road, and the same area as you. Pretty incredible isn't it 👍 What a flashback for me. I certainly don't get enough of touring around BC's vast area. And ya, the water is bitchen cold! Lol!!!! Maybe some day, we'll pass each other on the road somewhere in the mountains 👍 Cheers to the both of you🍻👍😎

[@SlowRoamers]

It really is a magical place. Thanks for watching, see you out there!🙌🏻

[@stevenwebb2295]

Beautifully Squatchy BC ! Ever have the hair stand up on the back of your neck and feel like someone's watching you !?! I hope to make it to that part of the world some summer. Perhaps on my way through to Alaska? It's on the bucket list and I'll be 64 this year! Better get my high humidity, sweaty Central Florida balls in gear! Definitely don't want to spend the summer here! 🥵

[@SlowRoamers]

Hahaha, I’m not sure i want to hear any more about your Florida balls, but come on up to B.C. if the bears or sasquatches don’t kill you, the smoke will!🤣

[@hankhilll4651]

who's nicer, american people or canadian bears?

Bears.

Bahahahaha. Not potential. Definite. Painful.🤣🤣🤣

[@charliebarker1719]

Just found your channel last week. You have caused many of a distraction 😂. Great to see a 2wd getting out there. I have a F350 and was looking at converting to 4x but you have helped me change my mind and save $$. Got a question though How do you find all those great roads

[@SlowRoamers]

NICE! Thats what I like to hear. Undoubtedly we’d love to have 4x4, but for the scope of our current travels, it’s really not necessary. We use a combination of Google maps and Gaia GPS with a bunch of browsing to find our tracks. Thanks for watching, Charlie!🙌🏻

How often are you airing down for rough roads? I am running 19.5"s on singled out dually . I cannot air down

[@SlowRoamers]

If we have any section that we’ll be driving for over and hour, we air down. Got a big compressor to air up quickly now, so we’ll definitely do it more often.
