Im big fans of you Eamon and Bec and Kara and Nate

Whats a BuChanChan did i miss out on something

[@michelledulin7214]

The reunion with the 5 of you made me tear up!

[@caitk8412]

@@maxkfuller Kara and Nate Buchanan (last name) So I would guess it's their nickname

[@rfc23143]

The reunion made me tear up so much and cry when Kara got out of the car and hugged Bec so hard and her little gallop. You can totally tell they’re bffs. Same with Eamon and Nate but to finally see them reunite and to know Bec is doing so much better and is so inspirational totally melts my heart and they’re dog Oso/Bear being so excited and seemingly giving a group hug put the cherry on top ❤

[@jillbritton2676]

Me too!!

[@trayray3412]

Glad I wasn't the only overly emotional person watching this

[@jswizzle07]

it really did (crying too)

Same! ❤️

[@roganvega]

I got emotional too. Got even more emotional bcuz I can't wait for the next video! You guys are the best!

[@1307scooter]

They never fail to surprise us. From the North Pole to the van, and onto Eamon and Bec's. How many of us had Bec in our prayers, so glad she has it behind her.

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

You guys inspired me to go for 100 countries when it wasn't really on my radar about 3-4 years ago. (I thought 75 might be doable eventually and I was at around 43 countries - which had taken me over 50 years to hit at that point.) I travelled pretty much throughout COVID and have spent the last 14 months travelling non-stop. Currently I am in Jordan, country #81 and will hit Chile, country #100 on Dec. 28th. Everything between now and then is already booked, so unless I die, it is HAPPENING. I can't believe it - and I am seriously grateful I ran across your channel almost 4 years ago. Oh, and before that, I also had a cancer battle. Actually it took over 4 years to defeat that MoFo. I am now 58 and am the healthiest and happiest in years. Just wanted to let you know the part you guys played in that. Thanks for the motivation to achieve a goal I thought was impossible. Best of luck on your future travels!! BTW, at the end, you are travelling through the part of Canada I grew up in. How cool is that?!

[@FraserAtSea]

Oh, wow!

Totally agree!

Does anyone else plan their day, or pause another KZbin video, in order to watch Kara and Nate right when a new video is released? 🙋🏾‍♀️

Yes I do lol

[@chrisdick726]

Yup! My wife just did!

heck yea!

[@carolinareedy1878]

I do! Lol😂

[@heathern.2225]

I have you and this channel to thank for posting Nate’s skin cancer story, after I watched it I realized the “weird scab” on my head was not healing and went to the dermatologist. I am now 2 weeks post-op on having that area of skin cancer removed… Thank You so much for not only the great travel content and fun adventures you post but for showing the real life struggles and stories!!! It literally changed my life 🙏🏼🤕

[@victoria-torimattison1808]

The “I’ll eat it.” When the seaweed piece hit the ground is literally everything to me. Kara you’re my spirit animal, for sure. 💜

[@laylaellingson4875]

The ending to that video was just a boost of serotonin seeing Kara and Nate running to hug them just put a smile on my face :)

[@jackgibson4039]

28:01 that was such a special hug bec and Nate had. You could tell the happiness and relief they felt for each other

[@ecstaticpanda123]

I think you meant 27:01

[@kellymhanson]

Kara: *enjoys caviar and champagne on a luxury cruise to the north pole worth tens of thousands of dollars* Also Kara: *seaweed falls on the van floor* "I'll eat it"

[@ckilbarger01]

Also Kara: peanut butter ramen lol

[@Tazzy5]

She is so cool.

[@SJ-qf2tz]

Balance ya know

[@Chrissyhappy]

I laughed at that too. So funny.

[@lifeviz28568]

I love how Kara and Nate sticked with their word and promise, and actually made the trip to Canada this time, though it was later than what they originally planned. I've been following Eamon and Bec for awhile, and what they've gone through is definitely something no one would have had to go through. I'm so glad the reunion finally happened and you guys were able to go and joyfully celebrate a journey accomplished with them, even though it was riddled with hopelessness, depression, "why this to me?", and a bunch of emotions on the rollercoaster. Thank you Kara and Nate for being the real and authentic couple you have been in the past and will always continue to be such, and for radiating confidence, optimism, positivity, and joy to others! You are all truly a family! Love you guys! ❤

[@karrieg3]

Tell me why I teared up seeing you 5 (Oso makes 5) hug. Its so good to see you all together again knowing what you've both been through and the strength of friendship over distance. ❤

[@tanleighjeffreys383]

This is the most wholesome video. I typically watch you guys for a little boost in my life. You are both so positive, even when the situation is negative. You’ve encouraged me to have a more positive outlook. Thank you for being you

[@johnhurd1510]

Yeeeees

[@tony_m_km6mzp]

I am sorry about your loss Nate. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Kara, and your family. May God Bless your Grandmother and You and Kara and Your Family. My 104 year old Great-grandmother passed away this past January and my Mom 30 years ago on October 17th of this year. May God bless you and Kara with Great travels and blessed friends and family!!

[@samanthamc182]

I teared up when I saw Eamon & Bec 🥺. Thank you for involving us all in your journeys. You all feel like family ❤️

[@FraserAtSea]

Agreed - same!

[@Meepmeep97272h]

I freaking love your relationship with Eamon and Bec. Through watching you guys I started to follow their journey, since the last time you went to visit them and I fell in love with your authenticity and support to one another. It honestly makes me cry tears of joy sometimes when I see how much love you all have, of course not to forget Craig and Aimee. I hope you have/ had the best time reuniting and celebrating life together!!

[@unrequitedmastermind]

I think this may be my favorite video as of late. Seeing y’all back in the van and reminiscing on previous trips was awesome. Eamon and Bec returning at the end was awesome. This whole video was just so wholesome. Y’all are amazing. ❤️

[@AnnaAnna-zi8ri]

I don’t watch Eamon & Bed’s channel, but just from watching you guys.. and seeing u try to get to them before and not be able to, and now finally embrace your friends! It actually made me cry! I am so happy that your friend...and Nate!...are okay. And it’s such a blessing to get to watch your stories and these beautiful moments that you capture and inspire us!

[@rebeccabarnes1946]

I'm only a few minutes in at the moment, but I just had to share my best wishes with you two and say how much I love how relaxed and joyful you both are, especially compared to the early days of the channel. You are still the same people, but it feels like you have both become so much more confident and peaceful within yourselves. You exude happiness and oneness and it is always such a delight to see.

[@dominika85]

I honestly started to cry when you drove up to their cabin! I'm so glad that you're all healthy and seeing you two in the van again made me sooo happy.

[@LaurenandtheCrew]

Watching you four amazing people embrace and the end of Kara's little speech had me in tears. So excited that you guys are back together again!!

[@shivanixdesai]

Was waiting for this vlog! I know y'all had moved on a little from van life but knowing what the end goal of this journey was makes it so much more special and I'm loving that we are getting to see this life again!

[@pictureman2691]

This video was so inspirational for me in many ways. First I was excited that your first leg of the trip was around where I live. I grew up in Southern Indiana, but moved to Louisville, KY last year. Secondly, seeing how much you care for Bec and have been supportive throughout her journey is very comforting to me. I found this channel just after I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon cancer in October of last year. You guys have helped keep my mind off of my chemo and radiation treatments and everything that is involved with them. I am having major surgery in a couple weeks to remove what is left of the tumor and I know you all will be with me while I am recovering. Thanks for always being there and showing others how to enjoy every minute of being together and how to enjoy life through nature!

[@meganashbrook249]

Yes, do 24hrs at Jungle Jim’s! It is an amazing store. Kara: “This is not where we came in and I honestly don’t know where our van is.” That is a true Jungle Jim’s experience 😂

[@Just_buckley]

They need to do that it will be a great. Video

[@olivetrees7020]

No really it is lol I get lost every time!

[@dianaplanas2095]

Such a beautiful way to end the video. Beck has been so brave and I’m so happy she is in remission. Just love you guys and thank you for going back to the van. If you ever want Spanish food you can stop by Connecticut for some.

[@lilcookies6940]

As someone who has been in Cincinnati now for almost 2 years, Jungle Jim's is the best. They have everything. I'm so glad you guys got to finally go visit Eamon and Bec. Your friendship is so strong and amazing. I was actually diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer last month, and both your channel and their channel is what is getting me through the treatments so far. Love you both! I can't wait to see what adventures come next. ❤😀

As someone who loves to travel, loves geography, and never knew Jungle Jims existed I can’t wait to check it out one day! I’ve never even been to Ohio yet lol!

I love Kara's little "we're home". I am glad you guys have a "home base"

[@janmarion1404]

My sincerest condolences for the loss of your Grandma. I lost my two grandmothers when I was a younger adult, but I also just lost my mother. Watching your videos over the years have brought me joy during some pretty hard times, and here you are again, bringing joy and laughter to all of us! Happy and safe travels.

My sincerest sympathies on the loss of your mother. I wish you healing and peace, friend. ❤

Omg . So important, so supportive, so real and authentic !! The last 30 seconds is what I am talking about. This stuff influences the way your subscribers behave. In life. It is about values and ethics and friendships and meaning and purpose and why we all get up. Peoples mental health improve because you make us want to experience the love, excitement, challenges, fear, fun, disappointments, limits and failures that we see . The authenticity must stay real as should the fun and laughter. What you do is the way forward to inspire, excite , motivate and changes the lives of people. Stay ordinary, stay real, have disagreements, share the shit , make us feel so we tread better tomorrow with personal purpose. Thankyou Xxxxxxx

I teared up when you talked about Eamon & Bec's journey over this past year, but when I tell you I LOST IT as soon as you guys ran out there & hugged them 😭 You four are so inspiring 💗

[@Beachbum471]

I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate the fact that you folks are still so darned wholesome! So many people whom I’ve followed on KZbin have fallen prey to something else. I don’t especially like it that you have sponsored videos, but I guess you kids have worked hard for what you have and I respect you for that. I still adore you kids…You’re doing a great job!!!!

Found you 3 days ago and watched a LOT! My dad passed in February and my mom in August and I’ve been trying to find what’s next. I traveled extensively for work before I retired to take care of them and there are a few places internationally left to see and a big part of the USA, which is why you showed up on my searches and why I binged. Thank you for being there when I needed direction!!!

I'm so happy to see you back in the van hitting the road, cooking, and crossing states with songs. But even more excited to see you meeting Eamon and Bec. Can't wait for the next video! BTW, I'm almost finished watching your vlogs from the beginning and will apparently start again, because there is just nothing better than you guys making the most of your lives! Love, love, love! ♥ Anna

[@bee_is_cool406]

Poor Bec. I think she deserves so much more. Edit: OMG I just passed rhats she's cancer free! That's amazing! Either way, she shouldn't have to go through that. Thank you Kara for giving mad props to our lovely lady!

[@nikkimilner3936]

Thanks

[@jamesslate1026]

This was actually one of your more enjoyable videos. Though simple in plot (a road trip), there's obviously so much joy in your return to van life, the only home you can call your own. There's no place like home-even when it's parked in a random parking lot.

[@oliviazawatski1722]

Your guys’ marital banter and comedy is so great!!! 💕 I love Kara “Someone owes someone an apology, ahem, cough cough” 😂 Keep up the amazing vlogs!

[@NickGoesFar]

I work for an AirMedical Helicopter company and have been flying out of a base in Ohio for the past few months - going to Jungle Jims was an awesome experience, so I was really excited to see it in this video! I grew up overseas and have been to 55~ countries so far, so finding a lot of my "old favorites" in the different aisles there was a blast. That place is huge though, and by the end of it I was in such a fog that I really feel like I didn't appreciate the last few rows.

[@annikapachner4743]

I heard from all your last videos that you kinda having a different time with bad comments and people who judge you way more than you guys deserve. So I really needed to write this. When I watch your videos I always get so motivated to live a better life and more like you being positive in nearly every second. Of course there are hard times you will never show us but you are doing great. Dońt let anyone tell you what to do cause yoúre doing it for yourself. Your mindset ist amazing. BR from Germany

Kara and Nate, it's funny, before watching this video I too was reflecting on the changes of this year. Last fall I was going through an insanely tough time mentally and the job I had only made it worse. This year I've gotten more help for my mental health than I'd ever thought possible and have a new (awesome) job. I'm so grateful for you guys (and Eamon and Beck), you're a big part of the reason I stayed the course last year and ya'll continue to inspire me everyday. Thank you ❤️
