WHERE ARE WE GOING NEXT | Overland Planning And Springtime At The Cabin // EFRT S8 EP11

[@buffalolizard]

Guys, just an observation from afar…. The east side of Mexico does not seem safe for vehicular travel. Perhaps even all of Mexico. Especially if one does not have a real grasp of the language… travel there seems hazardous at present.

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

I agree a lot are being killed, just buy traveling to go to swap meets and to get surgery, please don’t go right now!

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

Ashes are also good to put into your garden dirt.

[@tree4408]

Big plans! Safety of the world is a big thought these times! Take care!

[@jayne9292]

Not hazardous at all. Don’t go down the rabbit hole of misinformation. Like any travel anywhere, be alert. So many USA cities are far more dangerous than mexico or gun violence. Did the east coast, mostly away from toll roads. No problems.

[@4x4overlandadventures55]

Safety is always a concern, but it is never a reason to wait for someday. Just be vigilant and plan accordingly.

[@ridgelineoutdooradventure]

Logistically: let’s finish the Pan American First. My OCD requires that. If any country won’t allow Lando I’d skip that country and keep Lando with you. He’s part of the family and should be with you on all your journeys.

[@lisatomasek4941]

My hope would be that you don't leave Lando behind. We love how he interacts with the family and gets so much 'life' out of your adventures. Especially if you are going to be gone for multiple years. He's an integral part of the adventures, not to mention the family. I know he would be missed by all who follow your adventures. ❤

[@EFRT]

So true.

[@backwoodscountryboy1600]

I just live in the backwoods Alabama, I know I'll never get a chance to visit the places that you guys do. But I have come to grow to love your dog and I'm not a big dog fan but I have watch this dog and almost every video that you have created and that dog has been almost everywhere that you have been and while I'm watching your videos I think to myself my God that dog is living the dream. Your dog is getting a chance to see things other dogs will never ever get to go to or visit. That would be a shame if you're not able to take the dog in some areas that you want to travel. And like I said I'm not a real big dog fan but I have really enjoyed watching your dog run ahead of that jeep and enjoy life to the fullest.

[@Glory.To.God.In.The.Highest]

Go only where Lando can go! Love you all! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PETE!

[@jacquesrudman78]

As a South African, I’m very pleased to hear you are coming to South Africa. Maybe I’ll see you there. Been following you and your family for 3 years now.

[@billybrand]

I was telling a man from Arkansas that I wanted to travel the world and see places. He said young man start by visiting your own backyard. There are a lot of places to see right here in Northern Ontario that you don't even know about. Well he was right! I discovered a lot and still a lot to get too.

[@EFRT]

So true.

[@MtnMoss]

Lol, closing with a sneeze! I totally saw that second one coming🤣

[@4x4overlandadventures55]

Start where you are and start as soon as you can. Baja ferry to Matzatlan. After spending around a month in Baja, I can't recommend it enough. It just gets better the farther south you go. Watch Next Meridian Expeditions for a current look at the route. We will be back in Baja for Jan to Mar.

[@sajidshahs]

Belated Happy Birthday Peter . Wonderful family and very nice contents.🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@garrycollie2135]

Love your ideas for traveling down to Ushuaia. Take a tour boat to the Antartica continent too! Saw some van life people do that. Looked amazing! I'm sure you will take into consideration the parts of Mexico and the African continent that aren't safe. You also probably know you have to ship the vehicles from Panama to South America. And, happy birthday Pete! Marilyn C

[@fortheexperiencechannel]

Sounds exciting, looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Good morning everybody and thumbs UP to Epic Family Road Trip ! 👍✨

[@EFRT]

Good morning to you.

[@josedepina161]

Wow , overland in Africa is my Dream, I’ve been to South Africa , Namibia and Botswana, but never camping in those place , only game drive, can’t wait, can’t wait.

[@annahaar1379]

Live in South Africa. Most fantastic country for camping and outdoor adventures.

[@kimprocarione5473]

Stay away from countries suffering violence at this time! And go where Lando can go! 🐾♥️🐾

[@EFRT]

Yes good advice

[@gailhalloshry410]

Go everywhere! I'll keep watching through you eyes!

[@rugburnzz]

Keep an eye on world events. Things are a little unstable right now and so might affect your plans.

[@daltonfury_]

beautiful video and beautiful family!! God bless who you are and what you're doing!!!!

[@m3logistics]

You are most welcome in South Africa - there are some wonderful places to visit! One of them is the Atlantis Dunes, nearby Cape Town. My wife and I have been following your overland adventures since 2020. Thank you for the fantastic episodes! Regards, Johan Alberts (Cape Town, South Africa).

[@EFRT]

Thank you.

[@rosemountfarms2897]

Caroline so cute She did better than we did. Two grown adults putting that indoor mini greenhouse 😂❤

[@blakem1974]

I so can't WAIT for you guys to get back on the ROAD!!!

[@maqboolrazzaq2522]

Your next plan of journey it’s really good full of adventure’s and experience we hope you gays do

[@CityOverlanding-dz4hc]

Looking forward to your future adventures!! This will truly be and Epic Family Road Rip!!

[@waltsimonson2556]

I think in the future ( not now ) I would love to see an epic family road trip Nordic style . As a family . Something to look back on . And just for good luck I would stop at that church .

[@stanleyj.mitchell4851]

Trip planning is always fun. Not as much fun as the trip but close. I have just completed a ten thousand kilometre trip across Australia. Absolutely had the best time. And even as I’m cleaning up after this trip I’m planning the nest. Then next trip takes in Birdsville, Inaminka and Cameron Corner in a giant loop from Melbourne. It’s fun doing the planning but I’m so looking forward to this trip. Good luck and God’s blessings on yours

[@jackgwaltney6578]

We are glad to see you planning to travel again. Thank you, too, for the winter edition in Ontario. Please think carefully and do plenty of research into Mexico and Central America due to the dangers there.

[@robinperronjones5024]

I have lived previously in Namibia and South Africa and completed a lot of overlanding within sub Saharan African both two and four wheels, it has a great overlanding community and support base and the landscape and people are amazing. Enjoy your planning as there are a multitude of things to do and see all over this area.

[@staceymertins4466]

Aww Adorable Caroline🥰

[@richardthomas1743]

Happy Belated Birthday to Pete!! 🎂🎉🎈🎊🎈

[@fluffer4049]

I prefer safety over destination. Happy Birthday! 🎉

[@erikcele1604]

Wow Nice❤️👍 hope you visit Kenya/Tanzania and hope to see you here on Gotland Sweden where i live! You are the best and hope and wish you all the best! Lets do this together and go strong! 💪

[@gr8whytz29]

So excited!! Cannot wait!! Happy Birthday 🎈🎉🎂

[@helenmcritchie9143]

I love your family adventures, amazing photography and really beautiful sights. I am from South Africa and know you will really enjoy our beautiful county, hope you come and see. 😊🇿🇦

[@peggyszumiesz7521]

If you haven’t already I suggest watching Trent and Allie’s videos. They went to central and South America in a Transit van with a dog.

[@therealtashiro]

Happy belated Birthday Pete! 👍🏻🍻🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@bloodyeyeful]

The number 1 consideration driving anywhere is safety. By far. Blessings to you all.

[@rebekahcheetham2811]

Love that sneezing at the end of the video 😂

[@karelesterhuizen7117]

Hi family, you should really come to Namibia, you will not be sorry. If there are any information you need feel free to make contact. Love the show. Happy birthday Pete, blessed year ahead.

[@EFRT]

Thank you.

[@francelanoue1292]

Sorry for your lost ! Take care of you! 🙏🙏❤

[@Martyboy_Glasgow]

wow - amazing plans being cooked up! Come to Scotland :-)

[@pacespedesp]

Chilean desert (San Pedro de Atacama)! Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia! Chiloé Island, Villarrica and Llanquihue Lakes, with Volcanoes!!

[@EFRT]

Sounds amazing!

[@Roddo731]

So exciting so exciting to plan that’s part of it and then to hear the plans on our end very exciting… I get the possibility that Lando can’t come along on some of the trips bud… No Lando oh man that is a total bummer he’s like part of the team but I get it will pray for you as you digest that decision

[@joshleal9811]

Happy BIRTHDAY mister Pete. God bless you always. Also about the trip I think will be better do Europe first and come back from south America to Alaska. But no matter what you guys decided the adventure will be awesome. Big hug to everyone.

[@stephenstephenson4594]

Hello you guys I just stumbled across your KZbin channel and have truly been enjoying it thank you so much for sharing this wonderful life that you live with your family

[@EFRT]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@NorthernRetreat]

Voting for South and Central America. Patagonia is a bucket list trip as well as Tierra del Fuego.👍

[@Piperdreams]

Hey Family, Firstly a very Belated Happy Birthday to Pete 🎉 I’m doing abit of a catch up on videos I’ve not seen. Can’t believe how quickly time has flown for winter season, now that spring is coming… Your first full winter expedition at your cabin - would be great to hear your overall thoughts about your time? You’ve got some absolutely fantastic overlanding adventures coming up. Woohoo can’t believe your planning an African Adventure soooo epic. You’re right - logistics will be crucial especially as you’re thinking of taking your gear and vehicles. As to your route - my opinion is start Southern Hemisphere in Africa maybe starting from beautiful Cape Town. I’ve got a great friend who did a huge overlanding trip in his Jeep from CT all the way across African continent through to the Middle East and then across Europe too so will have a chat with him about what great tips he can share. I’ve done some overlanding in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Malawi, up towards Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco but that was wayyy back in the 80’s/90’s and again more recently 2019 before CoVID - Africa is sublime for overlanding especially the wildlife! You’ve got give yourselves a good amount of time for Africa because there’s just sooo much to take in. I’d suggest too tapping into the Overlanding/ 4x4 in Africa forums - there’s plenary information shared especially crucial information around troubled areas etc.

[@EFRT]

Thanks for the tips. Yes, we are super excited to explore Africa.

[@doelke9542]

Happy Birthday Pete senior If you find yourselves up west on PEI we have a spot next to the Northumberland strait to setup and use for a couple of days.

[@EFRT]

Thanks.

[@stephenstephenson4594]

Hello my new friends I would have to say Mexico for the experience and the cuisine just be safe there

[@DanielJMoraM]

Come to south America... We hope to see you in Peru..I would be happy to help you on your journey through Peru.

[@CampingRuss]

Love the video guys yes, spring is coming very fast. All the snow is melted here at Alpena Michigan. We had rain 🌧️ the other day.😂 happy birthday, Pete senior 😊 ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out PS I love the old video of Caroline total classic she should be proud of it 😊

[@pamalvestad3848]

Joyous Birthday Blessings Peter Sr. May your year be filled with many sweet surprises and memories God Be Bless you and your family

[@teddysmith457]

I haven’t been watching you guys for very long just a few months now. But I love you guys. You are an awesome family.❤

[@EFRT]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@emmahandford-g4s]

"Bless you Dan!" Bless all of you and thank you for the weekly video stories. 👌🙏 AND Happy Birthday Pete, wishing you a fabulous year. 👍✌

[@richardthomas1743]

WOW! You guys definitely have some awesome travel plans.. I say that you do what is best for you at any given time and what is safest for you to do. I definitely will be here to comment and to offer support and a thumbs UP!! 👍

[@EFRT]

Thank you

[@CascadiaDog]

At 19:00, the joy of a GSP and a loved human. Beautiful times! Take care in the coming weeks as the transition in seasons occurs. Thank you for another wonderful video. And, Happy Birthday to Pete senior!

[@EFRT]

Thank you!

[@applemac100100]

South Africa is a little unstable at the moment I would avoid until things settle down there.

[@danielvillavisanis2666]

Would love to see Africa, Europe and South America - in that order!

[@giselle7218]

Hi from Trinidad and Tobago, wherever you'll go, I will be following. However, make sure wherever you go Lando (not sure if i spelled it right) can go, please.

[@KameronATM]

You should look into doing some hunting/cooking wild game side ventures while abroad!

[@chaseneufeld3406]

If you guys are coming through Sioux Lookout in north western Ontario just know you have at least one viewer here. Safe travels and don’t forget to get some fishing in while your here.

[@EFRT]

Thanks.

[@myzipie]

You need to get an air-boat... These things can go anywhere ,under any weather conditions!!

[@EFRT]

Yes, that is definitely something we’re saving up for.

[@jonathanpilgrim4731]

I left a ice shelter in place last winter in front of my cabin in Labrador ... I had to rent a jack hammer to remove it in the spring! LOL

[@maryquinn1496]

Good morning everyone and happy planning.

[@heidib1362]

I would love to hear more about your planning process and how you go about researching your big trips. ❤

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Loved this video so much! I'm excited to see your plans come together for next year. Carol, yay, for the seed starting! Caroline, your video was so sweet❤

[@EFRT]

Thank you!

[@houstontexas4658]

Thanks for letting us in on the next adventure plans, can't wait to watch it unfold! Sunday mornings are the best when you post a video 🤩

[@richardah1]

That sounds like an amazing trip you're planning. I look forward to those videos. I hope Dan wasn't getting sick.

[@canajian]

Good mornin folks! 👋😎👍

[@EFRT]

Good morning!

[@SteveNuns]

Oooh, yes, please come to South Africa.

[@bolokanggaoboi7342]

Am excited about you guys coming to my home country, Botswana ;) EPIC

[@dirtpooroverland5396]

I know this part is pretty far off but I spent some time in central Africa and cannot recommend Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia area enough. Just some of the most hospitable people I’ve ever met and some beautiful country. Africa really is one of the last frontiers. The wild of it is just astonishing. I had always pictured completing a panamerica trip and ending in Ushuaia then boating to South Africa and continuing on back up to Europe and home, myself. I hope to be able to do that one day. But I think it’s a good path. Central/South America is still a pretty good break in period if you have issues you can still access resources fairly easy, albeit sometimes costly. Which will ease you in and prepare you for Africa which is just wayyyy off grid and wild. I think the America’s give you time to sort things out and see what works before you’re really OUT THERE. Just my two cents. Hell, I don’t even know if this comment will get read but hey, I love the show and thank you guys for the content. Cannot WAIT to see how the next couple seasons go.

[@EFRT]

Thank you for your comment and the great information on Africa.

[@larrymoore4223]

Hey guys, absolutely love your videos. My wife and I watch every Sunday. Looking forward to seeing where you go next. For what it’s worth, it would be cool to see you head east all the way to Newfoundland and then ship to Europe from there and then head south to Africa. Then ship over to South America and head back north to Canada 🇨🇦 But whatever you decide, we’ll be with you in spirit all the way! 😊

[@EFRT]

Thanks for watching. Yes that sounds like a good route. Have a great day!

[@patrickdubois7997]

Hey for your next big trip i prefer you to start in Europe to south africa than the south america. If you go to trans labrador don't forget to add ( la gaspesie ) the eastern part of Quebec and a beautiful coastline road and a lot of forest road also. Enjoy your planning have a good spring season at the cabin.

[@EFRT]

Thanks for the tips

[@hedley92]

Happy birthday enjoy watching your videos every week

[@ArasPundys]

How do you factor in safety when making plans? Some of those countries seem a bit sketchy for foreigners to travel through.

[@EFRT]

We can address this on a future video 👍🏻

[@heiniebrand3369]

Guys, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come to CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA!!! We would love to meet and greet you all here in the beautiful country of ours🤩🇿🇦👏🏻👏🏻🥳

[@nativetexson]

The travel possibilities are all exciting. Have you seen Martjin Doolard's videos about his bike trek from western Canada down the Pan American Highway to Patagonia? If you have a chance, you may want to watch them. Cheers-

[@EFRT]

Will check it out. Thanks

[@venture.explore.discover]

Happy belated Birthday Peter! After watching the first 2 episodes of XO’s Nordic series, the overlanding possibilities in that area and into Europe interest me a lot so I would say start there at the top, then work across Africa north to south and across to South America. Whatever you choose I’m excited to watch the journey!!!

[@oldmanoldtruck]

Another great video! Rest assured we'll be here watching where ever you travel!

[@adventureswithmaud]

We're figuring out the exact same plans for this year and going forward. We need to get to the Arctic this summer and then past Baja next year! Love seeing the plans and strategizing. Also, my opinion is the southern route and then ship the jeeps to Africa. It makes the most sense to me. Cheers.

[@izzybooth-nuku7137]

Happy belated birthday Peter senior, hope you had an awesome day. Gonna enjoy your travel vlogs and would be awesome to travel from South Africa all the way to Europe. Thank you for sharing your family with us and Caroline’s video (sorry if I spelt your name wrong). Dan and Lando are so cute nawwwww. Oh bless you on your sneeze lol. Take care and be safe from your kiwiNZ famz❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@EFRT]

Thank you

[@KAStodgell]

Lando looks like the leader! The chainsaw makes fast work of cutting the. Wood. Love the greenhouse. Happy Birthday Dan. Namibia is fabulous as is most of Africa. Lando is going to miss the frozen lake.

[@KAStodgell]

Well there is a younger video.

[@deboraholmsted7394]

With the current issues facing South America, I would start in Europe and in several years come home through South America, hoping some of the issues are finding outcomes that relieve what they are currently facing…Thank you for sharing you Epic Family Adventures…

[@EFRT]

Thanks.

[@brooklynhomesteader3721]

Good morning Epic fans and family🎉

[@mtn.munchkin1648]

I vote Pan American Highway. Just do a big counter clockwise loop.

[@helenemulvihill2997]

so happy to see you save the red chairs since we all feel something special about them after seeing Carol paint them. They are good representative of your life at the cabin. Well, you gave us the episode we've been waiting all winter to see, which is sharing the travel plans! Thank you so much and also thanks for asking for opinions and thoughts as I've always got those 🙂 I like the idea of you heading north then across to Europe. I am more interested in seeing you explore where I myself would like to go, so for me Europe would be the most interesting thing to watch you visit. Being of Dutch descent I imagine you will spend time researching your roots when you pass through, this is very interesting to my husband and myself because hubby is of Dutch descent. We will enjoy that very much. Also, just a reflectional thought on the end of a very long trip we think you'll be eager to get home and putting your pedal to the metal by then. We'd rather see you rush through the US than Europe because we've seen you travel the US for several years already. Not that we dont enjoy seeing you travel the US, we always do! but we dont want you to rush through Europe at all, because that will be the time we'll be the most interested in the episodes. Of course, we will watch you regardless of the direction you travel. It turns out we dont watch where you are as much as we watch because of who you are. Thanks for asking our opinions ;-)

[@EFRT]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Makes a lot of sense. Have a wonderful day!

[@BernalilloGirl]

My pick is Africa! Love Carolyn’s vid!

[@camocarper24871]

Looking at some of that maple, there may be some that make nice knife handles in it.

[@anthonymissirlis3710]

I strongly suggest to spend 6-8 weeks in Jordan -Israel- Egypt since the kids loved the old churches and the historical stuff . It’s mostly safe but like any place there are the dangerous spots

[@garyleczynskisr9411]

Happy B Day

[@PonoAdventure]

Can’t wait to see y’all out adventuring in your rigs again. Attempting to plan an international trip to Iceland and Europe in 2024. The planning portion is definitely an adventure on its own 😂

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Epic Family Road Trip. Can't wait to see your international travels. Travel the Pan-American highway first then Africa then Europe then back to Canada.

[@orientxprsoffroad]

Great to know EFRT will be on land based adventure again. Will you be using both Jeeps again or perhaps a new platform e.g. truck camper? Thanks for sharing great contents.

[@EFRT]

Possibly Jeep and bikes 🏍️

[@garyleczynskisr9411]

Bless you

[@raquelhernandez1733]

Happy belated birthday, Peter Sr. May God grant you many, many years with health, wich it is the most important thing. All the others blessings will come as days goes by. I can't hardly wait for your next adventure. ( I hope Lando can go with you, he is my traveling partner in the back seat, admiring all the beautiful scenery 😊) May God bless and watch you over all of you always!!!!!

[@jacquelinejeffs4079]

Happy birthday 🎉 I would do the countries that are opposite of the others that are going to be warm so you can do that country before it gets cold again and not freezing your booties off

[@EFRT]

Good point

[@flyfisher530]

We need more greenhouse videos! So adoreable. I look forward to seeing your Pan American and South Africa trips, how exciting to plan a trip like that. Would love to do trips like that someday. And I just noticed your cyclone lights on the back window of the Jeep, may have to look into that project...good idea!

[@stevehori673]

I bet you still see that little girl even though she's all grown up. Mine are 28 and 30 and they will always be my little girls!

[@EFRT]

Yes we do. They grow up so fast!

[@Barbarahas10]

Hello and Good morning to you all!!! Caroline’s photography skills are great. Her cooking skills are wonderful. She did bread a video or two ago. It made me hungry seeing it hot and fresh out of the oven. The boys have grown up into wonderful hard working men. It so funny to go back and see them when they were younger. Of all your adventures, this winter was my favorite!!! Not saying I don’t love your travels. I do, you have taken me places I have never seen. Did you go to Antelope Canyon?I don’t remember. It’s on my bucket list before I die. Europe first!!! Please!!!! It’s a dream of mine. It would be so cool. You are an Amazing family. You have shown your children a world that few people know. As parents you have given them the to the greatest gifts, life, love, the love of travel, the knowledge of being able to live anywhere and adapt to each area. Thank you for sharing your cabin with all of us this winter. Sunday could never come fast enough for your videos to be released. Thank you from an old woman in TN, USA. May God bless and keep you all safe.

[@EFRT]

Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching. Yes Antelope Canyon was awesome. We have a video of that from a few years ago. Have a wonderful day.

[@bjgtrev1970]

For a good guide on South Africa you should get in touch with Andrew StPiere White . He knows it like the back of his hand.
