Once again living vicariously through your videos. Cannot wait to see the horsemanship of master Mongolian riders. You guys rock! 👍👍👍

[@leighdearle5965]

Steph is working on it right now 😉

[@craigkosters9852]

Awesome adventure! Always enjoy watching your journeys. You both do such a great job with all the things that happen along the way good and bad. Safe travels and see you on the next one. 🙋‍♂️

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

Beautiful country...beautiful couple = great viewing! Thanks Stephy and Leigh...stay safe and God bless🙏

[@andrewcgillespie]

Beautiful. Again you are the most kind Ambassadors for humanity. Your spirits touch the very soul of all you meet. It is a privilege to be able to access your journey. It touches my soul.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

How to reply ... thank you. 🤗😊🙏

[@pavanchills]

I am following you from a long time, but today rewatching your episode. I realized you’re living your life max any one could imagine. Forget 9-5 job and traveling and meeting so many good people. Rocking out and clamping. Cheers mate !!

[@craigtyler731]

Love that that you can pay it forward. Local people helped you when you were trapped in the ice, and helped repay the kindness of strangers, by using bears compressor. As normal beautifully shot and edited video.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you Craig. Yes the compressor help was absolutely nothing compared to what the guys did for us. The video in coming. 😉 (2 weeks) but a preview tomorrow.

[@chrisworsnop7805]

Looks like a stunning but difficult country. Totally different to anywhere else in the world. Stunning

Keeps getting better! Love the journey each week !

Hi top class video and photos of Mongolia. Kind regards from UK.

[@MootsKLAdventure]

Incredible journey. Just found your channel a couple weeks ago. Really enjoying all your videos and how you guys seem to take the challenges in stride and stay positive.

[@STYLEHUAHINONAIR]

very nice i like off road i like land rover fc from thailand.

[@peternuhag1921]

Wow, CentralAsia is so cool. Why don’t you stay longer in Mongolia? Or is the 10 day window for Russia counting when you enter? I wood love to see more of that awesome country. Thanks again for sharing. Best wishes, stay save Peter

[@leighdearle5965]

We stayed for 28 days in Mongolia. Our visa was for 30 days so we stayed almost as long as we were allowed 😉

[@leighdearle5965]

This is also the first video, there will be another Mongolian video next week. A special video of our time at the Winter Horse festival 😉

[@peternuhag1921]

Good morning Leigh That’s the answer I was hoping for. Will we see more? You are so inspiring, can’t wait to start our own trip. Thanks for the quick response Have a great day

welcome back ty GL

[@bobbyspity]

Suggestion guys, drill a hole on the pin and pass a small split pin through the hole, this keeps pins in on rough terrain

[@leighdearle5965]

All the brake pad pins do have split pins but the split pin had fallen out and then the pad retaining pin not long after 😜

[@bobbyspity]

Leigh Dearlei have never had a split pin fall out 😬

J'étais surpris de trouver que Jaguar utilisait le séchoir de la climatiseur en hiver pour réduire l'embouage des vitrines. Les campers d'hiver utilise beaucoup d'électricité pour garder contre le froid. Ils utilisent une climatiseur aussi.

[@gordospeti]

Mongolia is amazing! Thanx for uploading this vid! :) But why are there no trees? Is it because of the deforestation or the climate?

[@bagim948]

Mostly northern parts of Mongolia has forest and they have not been there in the video. lol

[@gordospeti]

@@bagim948 I see.

[@RyanL-Y]

Suggestion. You should drive Toyota. Have you seen most dangerous roads series and see how people drive the Toyota truck in the river in Africa?

[@faizhazara3915]

Please don't cut your tours shorter because of cold weather, it's once in a life time chance to travel in such a momentum and with such a support from your viewers. We (viewers) are stuck in cities with our jobs only wishing to enjoy such a freedom to travel, enjoy life like yours, so please make the most out of it. There isn't no much in France or Australia no thing special waiting for you guys, don't miss lives of 9-5 here as you are in the special moments of your lives.

[@leighdearle5965]

We only had a 30 day visa in Mongolia and we stayed for 28 days so we didn't cut it short 😉

[@ScottyBennitone]

How many Kilometers /miles do you have on the clock ??

[@leighdearle5965]

The truck has 140k km. We have done 35k of those on this trip.

[@ericmonney1375]

Bonjour, merci pour le partage. Question : Feriez-vous un voyage sans drone, ou pensez-vous que ça soit "indispensable" afin de mieux "vivre" l'aventure ?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Pour nous, car nous realisons une vidéo hebdo, cela apporte vraiment une autre dimension. Pour capter la beauté de la nature, son immensité, sa diversité. Et c est chouette d avoir une telle vue. Nous sommes soucieux que je qualité de notre contenu. 😀 pour partager de belles images. La plupart des voyageurs ont un drone. Tous ne l'utilise pas. Si vous ne pensez pas faire de vidéos ce n est pas indispensable. ( nous n arrivons pas à faire de belles photos) il y a aussi l option d avoir un drone sur lequel on peut fixer une gopro.

[@elrey8876]

I wonder if you guys passed close by Xanadu (called Shangdu, in Inner Mongolia) where Kublai Khan had his capital. Marco Polo visited there in 1275 Wikipedia says. In Xanadu did Kublai Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph the sacred river ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea

[@leighdearle5965]

Hello mate how you're well. We didn't quite get down that way...

[@MrKuhistani]

Thanks again for the update, just a curious question, wondering is travelling south to China is part of the world tour plan?

[@leighdearle5965]

Not at this time. It's really expensive to bring your own vehicle into China 😔

[@hitlerhitkrda5060]

Wow u r amazing try coming india north india 🇮🇳 will show u punjab himachal rajastan

[@MatthewEide]

Fantastic, as always! I would love a mini episode on how you keep track of all of your documentation for the different countries! That is quite a task in itself, I am sure!

[@leighdearle5965]

Great idea we will work on it for sure 😉 We do have heaps of ideas for extra videos. Navigation, tools and spare parts, how we film and make the videos...

[@MatthewEide]

[@MJ95BKO]

Hello, very good video editing. Great job! I was wondering if you have any issues with diesel fuel in cold weather in Mongolia or anywhere else you went in winter? Are you using fuel additives for diesel? Also how hard/easy it is to find diesel at the pumps? Thank you. Milan

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

The only place we had "troubles" finding diesel was one time in Uzbekistan (harvesting season) but we managed to get some "black market" quite easily. We have been using winter diesel additive. (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia) After that in Russia they are selling Winter Diesel.

[@Gantzz321]

do you hide the drone when crossing borders? Have heard some crossing it is illegal to bring them with you.

[@CG-99]

Hi, we are planning. A similar trip to Mongolia. Can you tell me when you were actually in Mongolia so I can get a better understanding of what weather to expect when.

[@november_men]

CG June or july best

[@leighdearle5965]

We were there in November, quite late to be visiting but then again depends what you like and are equipped for. We know some Overlanders who are going to travel Mongolia through the winter but they are better set up than us for this. June / July is the warmer weather. I would think August / September would be the most pleasant.

[@CG-99]

@@leighdearle5965 thanks for info. How are the roads? We are in Mercedes Sprinter (with 4x4) will it be ok?

[@leighdearle5965]

@@CG-99 yes you will be fine in a Sprinter. Actually most of the main roads are now sealed and in good condition. It's when you go exploring off the main road that they get rough. Mostly it's just bad corrugation so be sure to adjust your tyre pressure to suit the road conditions. If you need to cross rivers always check them first.

[@CG-99]

[@alanbstard4]

i can't understand why they'd make a memorial to arguably the greatest thug in history. Love the defenders, and especially the Golden retriever

[@leighdearle5965]

It's interesting but you could say that about all ancient conquerers. Ceaser, Napoleon... All of which have statues and monuments dedicated to them. That Golden retriever was so beautiful 😍

[@alanbstard4]

@@leighdearle5965 you are probably right. However no one in history is known more as a mass murderer than this bloke. His conquests are second to his brutality in reputation. Yes gotta love the retriever. Great landscapes and thanks for the videos

[@markbergman2342]

how many km's you drive on a snowy day in Mongolia?

[@leighdearle5965]

Not many at all haha We take it very slowly in conditions like that. Average speed of 20km/hr. The locals drove much faster 😜

[@markbergman2342]

Oho, reason in asked was that we are going to drive to cape noth in Norway end of december and have 400 km a day plannen on some days. That’s going to be long days...

[@leighdearle5965]

@@markbergman2342 maybe the roads will be better maintained in Norway I think so you'll have a much better average speed 😉 I'm sure they salt and gravel the roads.

[@markbergman2342]

@@leighdearle5965 yeah roads are salted and gravelled. I've drawn 2 options for each day. 1 main road version and 1 on roads around the main road with the occiasional gravel / offroad path (which likely won't be cleared). Enjoy mongolia! Safe travels.

[@bernyelizondo7879]

Yeeeeeaaaahhh!!!!!

[@atamanatlas3098]

His actual name was Timurcin ( or something similar) Genghis Khan was an honourary title given to him meaning Khan of Khans, or the Ruler of the Universe sort of thing. Just saying.

[@leighdearle5965]

I asked our Mongolian friends about this and they've never heard of Ghengis... Khan means emperor or ruler but his name was Chinggis.

[@atamanatlas3098]

@@leighdearle5965 G'day again Leigh, I don't know if we're on the same wave length, in that perhaps I am misunderstanding what you're saying to me. However, it's well documented throughout history from numerous sources that his first birth name was "Timurcin" (or something similar my spelling is probably wrong or there could be variants of how people spell his first name) It's not until well after his conquests was he referred to as Genghis Khan. Lots of sources on line about that, so perhaps I am mistaken (and I quite often am) or your Mongolian friends didn't study history in school. One source which may well be wrong is the History Channel (Which I like to call the Hitler Channel, because all it seems to broadcast is WWII docos) ==> www.history.com/topics/china/genghis-khan
