IT'S OVER...Why I'm leaving the USA

Love when you all cross-channel on stuff like this; brings the world together

[@si.milner]

Brilliant show fellas. I’d 100% recommend getting up to Montana/Wyoming areas in summer. Epic mountains, rivers and camping.

[@theexplorelife]

Hoping we get the chance sometime soon🤞🏼

[@TheBeautyLeague]

Finally home and able to watch. Excited to see you and Matt link up again!

[@tleej26]

Great series, love the canopy setup. Nav needs to do a New Zealand episode here in South🇳🇿

[@markdavid4773]

Great video mate and always glad when y’all get with Matt 👍

[@buddhab27]

You guys should try the Michigan Upper Pennisula Waterfall tour. Absolutely beautiful up there.

[@samuelsinclair567]

We just going to ignore the fact that Nav had a killer walking stick there! #nice!

[@erikcele1604]

Big yes from Sweden Erik! They are grate and comfterbul 👍

[@susansmeeton4321]

Crocs yes, I have a pair for camping - hat is great, have one for snow camping

[@chadhamilton4708]

Crocs for sure

[@teakv3477]

You need to check out Lake Tahoe

[@Harryevans484]

CROCS =YES

[@scotthepburn69]

I love how you guys just wing it everywhere you go, loved this American trip, sad to see it coming to an end, but looking forward to what you guys get up to next, love the channel, keep em coming 👍

[@theexplorelife]

Thanks mate!

[@IAmBoxman911]

Beer is great out of the easy drinking, screw-top cans...and regular cans...and bottles...and ice cold mugs...and red Solo cups!

[@danhiggins7798]

So what your saying is no matter what you drink out of beer is good? I agree

[@anthonypriest622]

Yes crocs I've got them👍👍

[@RADAdv346]

Allways complaning its so cold but never gets out of his shorts

[@saltyaussie7702]

I drink Pale Ale long necks 750ml & you need too pop the lid with a opener of some sort. Me personally it's a bic lighter...

[@wesleysargent1985]

Bloody awesome series this was! Can’t wait for more new adventures 🤙

[@hi79cruisers90]

I reckon if you did something like mixing the explore life 79 series canopy with a core off-road GTU canopy or a phoenix canopy that would be really cool. Especially if you want more pantry space the GTU canopy from core off-road has a pretty big pantry space. I can’t wait to see the next truck setup

[@theexplorelife]

Good ideas mate 🤔

[@curtturtle]

Before you run the drawer fridge as a freezer. Check it will get down below -18C. Most won't get down low enough.

[@theexplorelife]

Good point mate

[@mikebro1]

I reckon I'd like to see a Colab between you and @Reef Addicts out of Cairns when you get back down under. One of my favorite KZbin channels. It would be entertaining, to say the least!

[@theexplorelife]

Would be fun!

[@lukereef]

Crocs are a yes

[@MicahBell_1860]

Happy trails, Cowpoke

[@jarrod.Holmes]

Idea for next canopy and Running roof top tent again have aircon running into it. For those hot nights

[@theexplorelife]

Would be so good!

[@mscover1967]

They look like they are great for camping and not much else..(Crocs)

[@moylo2322]

Definitely should bring out a explore life beanie like the one yah got on, got a daiwa one for winter fishing an they are pearla 👌

[@007oli]

Reckon you should give the travel buddy another go, loads of things you can do and great for long journeys.

[@Ridingthecushion]

Yeah you can get them from dan Murphy imported in

[@LookMotorsports]

The aluminium bottless are a pint size. The aluminium bottle is getting popular woth bottles water in aus.

[@jackjordan2169]

crocs are a yes yew

[@scottstocks4807]

Massive yes for crocs… so practical and no blow outs like the old pluggers

[@heelerdadadventures]

How far down did you guys go on Big Shell? Or correct name Padre island National Seashore.

[@bafman]

Yeah the Crocs!

[@ryanwilson1146]

Yes

[@NedLea]

CROCS RULE

[@dagsbouch]

Can't wait.

[@hardendurokev6977]

Big yes for sure😊

[@cyclemoto8744]

Thanks

[@cookswithbeer]

Need one of those rechargeable battery jumpers. You can get like 5+ jumps out of it or just recharge your phone

[@paulsmit8147]

Awesome van, awesome rig.......🤙 Personally, when it comes to cleaning food stuffs (cutlery, plates and so on), hot water a must, so the 'basin' 🤙....... The American trip, something different, still great..... Thanks for the share 😎🤙👍

[@micksoa.k.885]

I recon the aluminum stubbys are a good idea, keep the bugs out of your beer....

[@theexplorelife]

Exactly!

[@The_Osprey]

It's much more out of the way but Fort Davis, Marfa and Alpine area of Texas is completely different than anything you've seen so far. Mountains as high as 8K feet and beautiful scenery. Fort Davis has the McDonald Observatory ran by the University of Texas. The night skies in and around Fort Davis are mind blowing. They have light restrictions in the towns at night to give the observatory the best conditions. It's just beautiful and the road less traveled because of it's relative isolation.

[@theexplorelife]

Sounds stunning mate 🙌

[@caltravels9454]

Never seen those twist top cans, they would be great in times with loads of bugs around and keeping sand out when it's windy. Nothing beats that pleasing sound of cracking a tinnie though. Let us know how well they crush down compared to a normal can.

[@theexplorelife]

I know right! And they crush really well. They’re made from a thinner metal to the standard can so are slightly less robust though

[@N70Luxx]

Only just opened up to the idea of crocks. After using them in the bush or heading into creeks/waterfalls I think the practicality outweighs the looks. But definitely a time and place for them. Out bush/camping trips ✅ out for a night in town ❌

[@theexplorelife]

So good for rock hopping and chasing waterfalls

[@morgancross5454]

Don't go doing that, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to!

[@maneeshasimmonds6618]

Big yes to crocs!

[@mitchellsavage6933]

youve gotta go see cleetus mcfarland down in florida next time guys

[@mattiepooie]

The regular aluminum 12oz can is better than that 16. That 16 oz screw top tastes metallic to me

[@theexplorelife]

True! Does have a slight taste doesn’t it

[@derekeasterbrook6791]

HI Matt, loved the USA series. Just a question, how do you cool the canopy with 2 fridges in it? The obvious answer it that you put in some vents but I couldn't see any. Welcome bask to Australia, cheers.

[@MrStulou01]

Crocs are the go 💯 got to have 3 pairs, mowing crocs, home crocs and going out crocs lol

[@zowiefenderblast4602]

Retro 1987 Chevy Beauville van 4x4 build

[@theexplorelife]

That would be epic!

[@billyrogers8384]

I usually put MY DEARLY DEPARTED under ground...But I have put coals ,and wood, to give good smoke LOL...TO SMOKE PORK ...CHICKEN...AND BEEF, GOAT.UNDERGROUND!!! IT A LONG TIME ...BUT IT IS WORTH IT 😊😊

[@ravenswing602]

Yes crocks are the best!

[@nathanwright8598]

Crocs are fine for utilitarian purposes but not for fashion.

[@davidcassidy6226]

Crocs are a huge no!!

[@castlelowanna8626]

crocs no way.... great episode

[@denisemarriott6424]

Great episode. I love how Nav hates the cold weather! Just a question- what type of draw fridge and how many litres, are you using? Tia

[@hughhumphreys6406]

Yes all way have for years

[@dylanbecroft5584]

Hey just wondering what Quad Lock mounts do you have in your Canopy I can’t find them on their website?

[@boon197999]

Colors light, here in Texas, we usually drink our ice water out of the tap..

[@theexplorelife]

Good call, shiners for the win!

[@DAZZZ1ST]

Next year trip should be Alaska!

[@Hooked2FishingNZ]

I need a setup like that for my ram 2500 in Nz. Epic. Trying to google someone that will do it with no luck yet

[@MTNmyMAG]

Love the tall screw tops

[@glennoliver2778]

No crocs mate, good old double pluggers

[@billyrogers8384]

? I'm from California!!

[@The_zook_shed]

​@billyrogers8384 flip flops, in Australia we call em double plugers or thongs

[@dempseydoodle2010]

No Crocs, I don't get it, they are terrible.

[@evanvavoulas4011]

Crocs are amazing I haven’t worn any other shoes since I put my crocs on

[@dalep-i4844]

Yeah I’m guilty of being a crocs suck guy until I got a pair bought for me. Now I barely wear shoes day to day.

[@mickwood9666]

Yes and that’s a yes from me

[@aussiewalkabout4x4]

seen those screw top alloys tins with coffee in them in Aus

[@crellc]

crocs will work, I use really anything old and on hand lol

[@1FiftyOverland]

The aluminum bottle came about from sporting events not allowing glass bottles.

[@theexplorelife]

Had no idea! That makes sense

[@rcracer7631]

Alaska and Mehico!

[@simonnappa383]

Great series guys. Design the canopy to have the ability to store a portable battery pack (like the red arc thumper) so you don’t have to get saved by an F truck. Ps. Big No to crocs

[@theexplorelife]

Good call - we’ll carry a jump pack in the new truck I reckon

[@maddog051968]

Hey, This is a USA built vehicle with left hand drive steering wheel correct...why have Australian power points built into the camper (2 Angle and 1 Straight pin). Just wondering.....

[@theexplorelife]

Yeah mate Aussie plugs made it easier for our camera gear but we can adapt the system to suit American plugs if needed

[@Portyhouse]

As a new comer to crocs I barely take them off, but the wife hates them

[@theexplorelife]

They’re so good 😂

[@missingremote4388]

Leaving winter when it is a Hot summer down under

[@billmccarthy5920]

Crocs no! Double pluggers all the way!

[@Sammyzookii]

Try the green prime, this is the Best Flavour ever

[@theexplorelife]

Will do 👍

[@mitchellholroyd2837]

Definitely get up to Wyoming.

[@esothunderdwnundr]

top half would be cool to see

[@74jojo]

Can't convince my feet to agree with crocs. My goodness how these bad boys made my feet (and ankles) cheer, merrel Huntington ftw! Really recommend them! 👌

[@jackpracy4413]

Crocs are hectic

[@mick457]

crown larger years ago used to do something very similar to the coors light, as for the crocs, HELL NO

[@Kathy-ls2rw]

Yes to the crocs. I have lined winter ones in Canada 🇨🇦 😂

[@maxcullen3427]

Lovely channel ur accent great met great yank as 2 Aussies So Australian to go waterholes and camping off site Love your set up

[@maxcullen3427]

Ur drink review was so Australian it funny

[@theexplorelife]

Thanks mate!

[@DonDomel]

50:07 Come to Europe - to Poland ! :)

[@intimatespearfisher]

Been resisting it for a long time. But I'ma gonna go yes on the Crocs!

[@theexplorelife]

I was the same mate!

[@4wdtennessee459]

Y’all should come to Tennessee when y’all come back.

[@elmo9896]

Crocs are the way to go best things around

[@krisprocter4542]

Loved all the episodes lads, cant wait to see your aussie build

[@theexplorelife]

Thanks mate! We had an epic time filming it 🙌

[@Carpo74]

Hi Matty what brand is the draw fridge?

[@chrisbainrot5731]

Change your microwave space to an airfryer. Now that will be a game changer on the road 🎉👍

[@theexplorelife]

Good idea!

[@lockedinlowadventures4438]

Crocs for the win 🐊

[@Kathy-ls2rw]

I would like a air fryer/toaster oven instead of microwave

[@boon197999]

Did y’all go to Howard’s in Shiner Texas? I guess since you didn’t video it, you didn’t get there. You missed out.

[@jeffbyah4458]

The only people who hate on crocs are the ones that have never tried them

[@eagriggs1]

Coors is a good cheap beer but I'd rather have better beer than worry about can or bottle.

[@theexplorelife]

Fair call 😂

[@andrewt3952]

With the cool whistles, the multiple shakas, the amazingly original catch phrases, the ads, n the same letsss goooooo crap, all I can think is, why am I watching this city boy for. Prolly cos of nav

[@wbmoffitt7985]

Crocs for the win

[@craigjensen4179]

All I take camping is my Crocs. Nothing else

[@theexplorelife]

The ultimate all rounder

[@thetruckybaker]

Crocs are a no for me but can’t say it will never happen for me

[@markhowells13]

I cant get past the lack of 'use of space' in an upright ? between the shelves and the weird spacing, there is no way it holds as much as a chest fridge ? am i wrong here ?

[@theexplorelife]

Doesn’t hold quite as much but the accessibility is a massive plus for us. We’re generally away for a max of 7-8 days and haven’t run into issues with not having enough room yet.
