[@gregm8871]

Yeah how does one fund such a lifestyle?

[@gregm8871]

I mean let's be realistic, we're talking over 7k just in camera accessories here....

[@allenheaps2084]

judging from the comments below it looks like a lot of folks were touched as I was when Caroline reached out her hand to help papa up the trail. Brought tears to my eyes! You guy's are an awesome family living the life!! Thank you for share it with us.

[@JohnHMoore]

Loved it when Caroline reached her hand back to help you up over that rock--very sweet!

[@dlbrownmac]

That just melted my heart.

[@jayparker8211]

That was my favorite part, besides the epic 4-wheeling shots.

[@LifestyleOverland]

She's a great kid!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Mine too!

[@betaich]

Yeah that was cuteness overload.

[@johnmcneal9477]

Hatchers Pass is an amazing area. You discovered a hidden beauty (Craigie Creek) that very few tourists visit. That cabin you hiked to is approx. 13-14 miles to my back door. My kids spent many a weekends hiking, camping, exploring, hunting and snow boarding those hills and I have para glided for years from Summit lake at the top of the pass. Your video skills do a good job of show casing our little hidden gem. I almost hate to stay it, but a lot of gold is taken out of that area by weekend prospectors.

[@kdakodiak]

You guys are troopers. Lived in Alaska for eight years and could not imagine tenting it for as long as you guys have/are. But then again your set up is much better than the average. Amazing way to raise a child!!!!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much for the support! We've had a blast!

[@markvallejos4497]

I am so glad I found this channel, I am from New Mexico as well. Your families adventure through alaska is a dream of mine. My father was station there before leaving for Vietnam and I have made it my goal to bring him back to the place he talks about everyday. That would be a bucket list for us. Great camera work and I am looking forward to following up on all the episodes you have out. Stay safe out there, and continue to enjoy your beautiful family.

[@awksedgreep]

Love your videos. Trucks get us to trail heads, but as a hiker I must point out just how easy it became on foot after you got out. Your daughter gets it. My heart melted when she helped you along. Enjoyed the video. Keep up the amazing work.

[@neelyknifeandtool]

Bro! When your little girl reached back to grab your hand on the climb up to the cabin, my heart melted! You should capture a still of that and frame it!

[@M4_Overland]

I didn't catch the LIVE premier, this time, but great video! As always. Isn't it funny how wet/muddy rocks ALWAYS seem to grab when you least expect? I'm glad everyone is safe! Great driving Sarah.

[@Mayonaze3939]

The view up there at that lake is beautiful on a clear day. There is a view of the opposing pass that's unforgettable.

[@seenannilawer9480]

I believe that u will get 10 million subscribers soon mark my words. Awesome work . Who ever loves nature the love you're video because u bring as a step closer to nature. Keep doing lovely work. Best of luck.

[@brittmillard3776]

Guys Hi I live in Australia There are a lot off 4wd videos ( Ronny Dahl etc )) with Guys in teams off 3 or 4 going thru the Aussie bush etc , But is is so refreshing to watch your Videos . Really Enlightening .. Shall never tire off ur vids I am Getting a 5th Wheel soon So while able to travel on most. The Track Your Wife Drove on Going up that mountain to the Hut at the Top amazing .Will be out of bounds for me , as my Trailer will weigh in over 6 tonnes with a Semi pulling it

[@jcf6597]

I watch a lot of travel and overland videos on KZbin and yours are by far the highest quality, the cinematography, editing, music, all of it! It makes me feel like I should be paying to watch it in a theatre. Your daughter seems to reach right through the camera when she smiles and makes my heart smile. Oh, and Momma bear is a kick ass offroader!

[@LifestyleOverland]

We really appreciate the feedback and support! You guys keep us motivated to keep going!

[@sharkbait_11b]

I love how sweet Caroline is after mom helped her up the rock she turned to help dad.❤❤

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY! GLAD IT WASN'T WORSE THAN A SCRATCH ON THE RIM. SOME OF THE ROCKS LOOKED HIGHER THAN THE UNDERNEATH OF THE 4 RUNNER. BE SAFE! ENJOYED! THANK YOU AGAIN.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jakubsolinski3364]

Hi! Greetings from Poland! I watched all of your videos and all of them are amazing. And that is amazing adventure. We are travelling a lot with our kids. We do smaller and bigger trips but all of them 4x4. Seeing North America is one of our biggest dreams. I hope one day we will met You on the trail. Goodluck!! (in Polish language it would be: Powodzenia!!)

[@DB1Journeys]

What I wouldn't give to bring my 4R up there for this kind of adventure. I was able to do a Jeep tour about ten years ago around White Pass and the Canada line. I was absolutely mind blown and have dreamed about going back one day. One day....I say. Thanks for sharing what you do....makes me want it even more.

[@marcosarg1]

You guys have such a beautiful family, your daughter is so sweet! When she reached for your hand i could see right there how much she loves you! Excellent job raising her!

[@Atlasadventure]

Happy family=happy life= happy over landing great one again.

[@mariolemos2648]

Excelente. Admiro todo lo que hacen!!! No entiendo ingles, solo miro y disfruto. Hice algo parecido este verano en Argentina, más humilde claro!. Pero es plenamente disfrutable hacer eso. Tienen que venir a Argentina, La Patogonia es excepcional...

[@danl4219]

Look forward to each video you and your family publish, even though when were ready, we'll only be weekend runners, my wife and I can't wait to start our adventures, you guys inspire us!

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Great team you guys. Showing your daughter how to handle stressful situations. Anyone who has ever been offroad will understand. Great job!!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks, John!

[@danconatser8699]

Loved this video. Great (fun?) off-road trail, FANTASTIC driving by Sarah, beautiful area, and great history all in one place. Add in your absolutely top notch photography skills and I felt every rock on that side trail. Thank you again for allowing us to come along with you and your family.

[@qm4044]

Man ur lady is a beautiful hand to u, respects for her on his driving skills, courage, great partner who can stands beside u whenever u need ............ cute daughter lots of love for her , how cute she gives u hand to prevent tumble while stepping on rocky terrain ........... u r right that camera cannt do justice with the scene

[@perrypratt1740]

I really enjoy your choice of background music. Alaska has been added to my family's bucket list.

[@softroadingthewest]

Fantastic episode. I loved how you captured that trail in so much detail...very very compelling and a pleasure to watch. I know video never does justice to the terrain, but even so I thought this looked pretty dang difficult (well, downright impossible for my Forester actually). Really enjoyed your teamwork and the slow, carefully considered moves up the trail. And all beautifully edited to boot. Thank you!

[@flmtbiker]

In years past, I used to drive my CJ-7 on business trips and go off roading when I could; Black Hills, Colorado, California, Nevada, Utah, and NW Florida. Have been to some beautiful places but never was able to get too aggressive while off road because like you, I was usually alone and I still had to drive hundreds of miles to get back home. Loved that Mamabear was behind the wheel for this and I hope she enjoyed it as much as I always did.

[@LifestyleOverland]

It definitely changes your perspective when you have to live out of it! Thanks for watching!

[@norlmerk]

Those were some of the best lights I have seen....you were so lucky!

[@chuckasarus]

my wife and I really enjoy the videos you two post. It's like we are there.

[@escalade78]

Just started following you guys. While I am not (yet) an Overlander, I greatly admire your pursuit of this adventure. You folks are definitely having experiences that will last a lifetime. And what a wonderful learning experience for Caroline! You have a very calming, and informative voice for your videos. God bless U 3 & keep you safe in your travels!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Welcome to our channel! Glad you're enjoying the story so far!

[@betaich]

After watching that video for a second time I now can pinpoint why I like your channel so much. For one you are a likeable family. For second you don't give off that dude bro vibe or the over serious vibe many other overlanding channels give off, which gets really grading after a while. For thirds you know what you are doing when driving, I know of another channel were the guy just bought a used 100k Euro camping truck (those big Euro ones you may have seen in Alaska) and you can see he didn't spend any money on learning how to drive that thing beyond getting the necessary license. For fourth your shots are awesome and finally the music choices.

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

Great edit! Awesome content week in and week out! Mamabear is a offroad dirt princess! Safe travels! Hey Toyota give them some sponsorship!!!!!

[@LifestyleOverland]

She really is! Thanks for the support!

[@michaelhite1433]

Toyota should make a Lifestyle Overland edition 4Runner.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Dude, that would be EPIC!

[@yanglu9555]

I agree with you Rocky. Toyota and other sponsors should start selling Lifestyle Overland's apparels from all the videos they've done in making these incredible videos possible. Good job y'all. Now I want to go to Alaska 😊

[@ravenfeather7087]

Toyota is obviously doing just fine. They don't need to build a vehicle especially designed for idiots who would endanger their kids and in fact their entire families in order to pretend they're breaking new ground. There are enough vehicle tracks on the planet without making them in places where people and the environment are better off without them. How about they keep manufacturing practical, durable, simple, reliable, easy to maintain, inexpensive vehicles? Ooops, too late. They're already catering to pretend adventurers. Hey, Rocky - get off your ass and talk a walk. Hey Toyota! Ignore these epic assholes.

[@BrianGlassEOD]

Gorgeous scenery, especially at 27:00 mark. Pretty breath taking.

[@LifestyleOverland]

We loved this trail!

[@65timbuktu]

I like the way you edit the videos. It's quiet and with a lot of information. Although I am in Germany, I do take some infos out for my travels. So keep doing what you're doing. In May I will travel to the island of Sardinia with the roof tent on my Ford Ranger. Stay safe folks...

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thank you for the encouragement! Enjoy your adventure!

[@gpost9000t]

I watch a lot of KZbin videos and yours are some of the best. The photography, editing, music and editorial is just top notch. Best wishes!

[@OverlandGeneration]

Just breathtaking! Great video!

[@joehop5780]

Very nice! I love the 5th Gen on the rocks! Great driving Sarah and fine spotting Kevin. The “whoops” are going to happen on wet rocks. Do you all carry a land anchor? I’m sure you do. There’s not exactly an abundance of trees to for winching like here in East TN. I loved during the hike when Sarah helped Caroline up a rock and she turned and offered you a hand... Priceless! Keep ‘em coming!

[@leightonoc]

Another great video. Can’t wait to go to Alaska in July. You have such great info in your videos! Just got the Milespost Guide and the Thermacell Lantern from Amazon. People have been buying stuff for me off my Amazon wish list. Garvin is sending me one of their roof racks and I just got a sponsor for bigger tires. See you on the road! Thanks again!

[@flmtbiker]

That view at 26:34 was worth the trip up that trail just to come down to see that. GREAT video as usual!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Absolutely worth it! Thanks for riding along!

[@robertmray]

Great shot when Caroline reached back to help you up the trail...made me smile..I have renewed hope for the future with a generation of souls like her...Press on kids..R.

[@mwauramburu]

Landed on your channel by chance and I've binged for 4 hours straight. Great content, cinematography, music and what an adventure! You've definitely reawakened my dream of overlanding in my country Kenya and Africa in the near future. All the best in your future adventures!

Wow. You took that hit on the 4Runner a lot better than I would have. I think a little freak out would be in order, lol. Great video. Awesome trip so far.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Haha, oh we were freaking out inside lol. Luckily it's a tough beast!

[@user-that1Ron]

What an awesome adventure! I've been following along and just finished watching all 39 episodes. Very well done, not only with video editing, clear pictures, great camera work but also working as a team and parents. Big hits like the 4runner took always rattle me but our 4runners have taken some hard hits as well and they just keep on going, asking for more. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see the next adventure!

[@MarkIsaac]

Spent all weekend watching your Canada/Alaska trip. Almost done.

[@4runnerlifestyle693]

[@Captain-Awesome]

You have probably figured it out by now but that wheel will be just fine. My wheeling rig is in my thumbnail and my daily is a Ford Raptor so I understand not wanting to damage your biggest tool in the tool box. You guys do take some pretty good risks but I haven’t seen that winch come out yet :). Love watching your videos!! Beautiful Family!!

[@TheLittlered1961]

Just found your channel a week or to ago. Never noticed you are from AZ. Lived there many years. Spent to much time just exploring there. Wondered if you have ever seen the Powers mine or the J-X ranch. The very funny thing is my mother lives in Phoenix in the winter and operates a lodge in AK during the summer. Don't worry, you can't drive to the lodge. Boat or plane only way. Happy trails guys.

[@canesser1]

Had to take a walk after that hit to get the pucker out eh? Mama is such a good wheeler, you two are the dynamic duo that's all I gotta say.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Yeah, but mostly because there were two pinch points that were going to be even more sketchy and I didn't know for sure if the front end was 100%

[@canesser1]

Nice one guys. The scenery is a lot like the South Island of New Zealand. 👍

[@myytchannel6632]

Sarah did great! Sorry about the wheel scuff. But honestly that trail was getting treacherous as you guys kept on going higher in altitude. Any experienced driver could still have a wheel scuff or some other kind of trail rash on the body or wheel of your rig. I guess it is expected when we each take our rigs offroad that we are at risk of wheel, body or mechanical damage. Great job spotting for her. Let her decide for herself sometimes how much throttle she needs to give the 4Runner to get it over some humps. You guys are a great team! And Junior Ranger Caroline is such a trooper. Be safe out there guys.
