[@devilschild]

I like how you just naturally take time to chat with people who watch your videos.

[@AnonymousAlcoholic5]

You can tell it drives him nuts sometimes 😂

[@jeradfry345]

It's got to be hard for him. I get stopped at gas stations for my hoodstacked Mercedes diesel car. People asking about it. I can imagine that he gets tired of it.

[@frankiealle2]

Tak, Timmy uwielbia rozmawiać z nieznajomymi, ponieważ pomaga mu to wabić niczego niepodejrzewających mężczyzn do swojej taksówki. W Polsce Timmy jest lokalnym bohaterem, ponieważ trafiamy do więzienia za samo myślenie o zabraniu mężczyzn na tył. Ale Timmy pokazuje nam drogę: najpierw zbuduj kabinę ciężarówki, po drugie, jedź do różnych stanów, aby uniknąć wścibskich oczu policji, 7,3 Powerstrokes do słodkiego punktu chwytania i ciągnięcia dla ciepłego uwolnienia, przerzuć koc Hudson Bay, aby ukryć plamy przed kolejną męską ofiarą, zmień tablicę rejestracyjną, porozmawiaj z nieznajomymi w nowym stanie, znajdź innego partnera - i cykl trwa dalej. To genialne.

This is absolutely surreal. I live in Buena Vista Virginia. I cannot believe I am watching you drive past my street.

I was the guy on the bike. What are the odds that in my way to Charlottesville from SC I saw him pull out onto 29? I wouldn’t have been SO surprised if I bumped into ANY other KZbinr! But TruckHouseLife, from Alaska???? A moment I’ll never forget! 😊

[@DebDeBoop]

Timmy the blanket is a Hudson Bay Blanket. It is a very old but tough blanket. One of the best you could get! It will keep you warm in Alaska and be sure to only dryclean it as if you wash it yourself it will shrink real bad….enjoy! I have one in my cupboard and it is willed to my son. They are very hard to come by!

[@cherylmiddaugh3699]

The Hudson Bay blankets are awesome. We had six of them growing up traveling from Canada down to Florida in our airstream. Six kids, Mom and Dad, and Grandpa. My great uncle was a Canadian mountie And he gave us six to make sure the kids were nice and toasty. The fun times we had in that airstream cold by the traditional Ford Country squire wood panel station wagon. It was truly a National lampoon vacation every time we went. Spent a lot of time in Vermont and Canada. We ended up purchasing land in the pine barrens with a lake and streams and a cranberry bog and built our own successful campground. That was 1967 that we brought the property, And as a family builted in to a beautiful wooded campground that is still in the family today. That's been over 50 years I believe I haven't bothered to count. My brother and his wife are managing it now but the lake is my happy place and has been since I was a small child. Anyway I think those Hudson Bay blankets might still be around with my brother, I sure loved seeing them when my mom still had them. They always reminded me of good times camping in the woods. Doing the off-season of the campground we always primitive camped in tents. We didn't live at the campground in the school season as there weren't many schools in the area. But we went every weekend and stayed all summer.

[@frankiealle2]

Deb, świetnie, że o tym wiesz! Jak wiesz, Timmy często spotyka się z mężczyznami w kabinie ciężarówki, a ten koc musi wytrzymać 7,3 uderzeń Powerstroke na minutę w tym pomieszczeniu. Miejmy nadzieję, że ten koc jest odporny na plamy, ponieważ musi łapać stałe wydzielanie ciepła z chwytania i ciągnięcia, ciągnięcia i chwytania.

[@ursinidaho]

That is a great story❤️​@@cherylmiddaugh3699

[@davestevens4263]

I love mine i got from my mom & she got from her mom . Super warm . I love it

[@gracietaylor4250]

I thought that was either a Hudson Bay or a Faribo blanket. Both are great, n your right about dry clean only

[@soboring3204]

Your videos has got me through some rough times. Thank you.

[@jaynesparks9977]

OMG Land Rover Defender doing its thing over there in the USA!!!!. Really enjoyed this episode Timmy. You've shared a lot of the country, towns and the American way of life that is all new to me and certainly made me think. America is vast. Perhaps I need to come and explore it for myself. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks...

[@TheGonebald]

So great to see you parked next to Ria and Becca. All of you are so cool.

It's awesome seeing several of my favorite travelling KZbinrs interact and have a great time!! You are a blessed man Timmy. Bed bound till I can walk again but already looking into prepping my rig for another trip God willing. Enjoy this blessing that you have! Thanks for bringing us viewers along for the ride.

[@skorde81]

I hope you don't feel the need to "upgrade" your gear, as a big part of the channel is this charming 7.3L diesel guzzler :D

[@SheriHamit]

Agree ..7.3 engine is one of the best...have a 7.3 F250 myself!

[@frankiealle2]

@skorde Nie sądzę, żeby Timmy musiał „ulepszać” rozmiar swojego pojazdu. W Polsce widzimy film, na którym Timmy wyraźnie pokazuje swój rozmiar, ściskając korek wlewu paliwa Dustina. 7,3 l to to, czego można się spodziewać po nadmiernym chwytaniu i ciągnięciu, ciągnięciu i chwytaniu, ale to jest rodzaj jazdy, którą kochamy w Timmym, który umawiał się z największą liczbą mężczyzn w najkrótszym czasie w 48 stanach.

[@gordondollman3606]

In my experience, bright - lights r hypnotic at night. Dim your dash lights as low as they go and see if you're not a lot less fatigued

[@702Hardcafe]

The way you complained about those billboards and pretty much said we should all get along and two seconds later you said you were glad you had your shotgun on you so you can sleep like a baby. My mom and I both started laughing simultaneously 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that was a good one. Enjoying your road trip my friend ❤❤❤

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol

[@treisen4]

Not to pick but it was more of an observation then a complaint from what I heard from Tim. And the difference between the advertisement for lawyers to sue each other vs having self protection to take care of problems yourself and settling / handling things on your own is exactly the point, for us to all get along and solve problems amongst ourselves not needing lawyers to profit and make money off those situations.

[@lindaraleigh5960]

Tim, why don't you invest in a starlink so you don't have to keep stopping to edit. 😊

Tim the trick is to buy two fuel caps next time so when you have a spare you will never forget the main one! And as for the Land Rover might look easy to access but it’s British so oil leaks guaranteed.

Thank you for sharing so much beautiful scenery!! There are so many gorgeous places to see!! Remembering the Coleman 4+ person big canvas tent with the rubber bottom and our Mallard Duckling camper.

[@dianejohnson1991]

That’s a Hudson Bay wool blanket you have. It was made and used for trading. I have one too. The first point blankets were created by French weavers who developed a “point system” - a way to specify the finished size of a blanket - sometime in the 17th century. (See alsoWeaving.) The term “point,” in this case, originates from the French word empointer, which means “to make threaded stitches on cloth.” The points were simply a series of thin black lines on one of the corners of the blanket, which were used to identify the size of the blanket. Though the points on the blankets did not have an inherent value, merchants during the fur trade often priced point blankets according to the number of points on the blanket, with one point assigned for small blankets and four points designated for very large blankets

[@cherylmiddaugh3699]

That old wool blanket is from Hudson Bay an old trading company but I think they're still in business. My great uncle was a Canadian mountie In the '50s and '60s, and brought me and my five siblings one of those blankets. We had an old airstream and pulled it with the old Ford Country squire wood panel station wagon. We went from Canada to Florida but mainly stayed in the Northeast down to Virginia. We actually lived in the pinelands of New Jersey. New Jersey sounds disgusting but the pinelands are beautiful and you can go 20 miles without seeing another building or a car. We stayed toasty warm in those blankets even during primitive tent camps. Hold on to that sucker, it'll last you a lifetime. Ours are still around with one of us kids and we got them around 1965. Just never wash it in water or you will have a placemat or maybe even a pot holder! Happy travels I sure love watching your videos and travels.
