Our Van Broke | Alaska Overland Adventures

Alaska, has got her hooks into us, every time we look at a map, we are drawn to come north again...

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

A magical place for sure!

I've mentioned this before but, it's worth mentioning again. Your narration is EPIC. Very clear and concise. It gives outsiders a peep into Alaska. I've been there and I'm coming back in a few months. But, most of us in the lower forty eight have no idea how big Alaska is because looking at it on a map does it no justice. As a former Submariner I've been a few places in the world and Alaska and Australia are the most beautiful and barren places in the world. And lets not forget your cinematography. The video you made with the camera facing upwards and capturing the snowflakes coming down was nothing short of genius. Now when I try to describe Alaska to someone I send them a link to your channel. Thank you for allowing me to tag along. Be well, feel better and travel mercies. Ps: Your hubby is my dude, like me he only talk when necessary 😂.

Thank you for the compliment Joe. We appreciate the feedback.

Okay, I think we're going to need you to start putting dates in your clips when you jump times. You start off with everything being snow covered, and then we're back to leaves still being on the trees without context being provided. That's confusing. It's hilarious seeing this huge group of Sprinter vans all in one place, and I can only imagine that many of your camping options were eliminated because they were too small to accommodate everyone. That said, you're absolutely correct in that the more people in your group, the more likely it is that someone will know how to handle a specific problem. The suspension bolt issue is one that sounds like you'll have to replace all of them with higher strength bolts. If one fails, the rest are sure to follow. Now that you've had the Bronco for a bit, how has it held up on the pothole strewn roads? Have you noticed any maintenance anomalies? Have you noticed anything troubling when driving it in extreme cold? If anyone were going to tell the truth about what you've experienced and learned, it's you folks. It was interesting hearing that you've felt lonely when you're dealing with illness, it's like a one, two, punch. It sucks that you had to go through all of that. As someone who's spent the vast majority of my life alone it's something I just accept as the usual, whereas you chose quite some time ago to marry with the idea that "alone" would no longer be in the cards. I hope things have improved significantly for you. I applaud the return of video uploads from you folks!

Good evening, watching the Cowboys getting a beat down from GB. Watched Miami dolphins get a beat down from the Chiefs. We got a one and done post season. Mr and Mrs Bill are good. Our weather keeps going up and down as far as below freezing. I have to keep up with the cold. My washer is in a area with no heat. Bought a portable heater. This old house keeps me running to Lowes. 😮

Thanks for the video. In south Louisiana we are bracing for our two day winter. Stay safe and healthy.

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

Be safe! Hope you guys are doing well!

[@billhill8570]

Watching from the Desert in AZ. Leaving in April to begin my return trip. Happy New Year!

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

We look forward to seeing you again!

[@DDevin7]

Another wonderful video! Beautiful scenery and friendships.

[@MrJimpk1]

Hi Guys, Loved the initial start of the video with all the snow...amazing...we were hitting 100 last weekend. Shame about you shearing a bolt off, were you able to get it fixed at one of the many stops you've made? Ember looked happy in her Favorite place the "Water" Cynthia, how are you feeling? Hope whatever you had has gone and you can once again enjoy yourself. Well you both stay safe and be happy... Your Friend in OZ James

[@larryheiny5287]

Let's do it again!!! :)

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

When you are ready.

[@larryheiny5287]

Ha! but next summer is eastern Canada maybe hopefully ;) @@WingsandWheelsAlaska

[@naomidonovan-perry2667]

My Husband and I used to travel but not in a group. I always found that somewhat unnerving when it came to breakdowns and in poorer weather. Safety in numbers!

[@beths2283]

Beautiful!! ❤❤

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

Thank you Beth. We were all so sick at this point. You could definitely hear it in Patrick’s voice also.

[@44251]

We use to go away in our cabin cruisers in numbers. Everybody has issues with boats from time to time. Having extra people with knowledge around always helps. Great scenery up there. Good video too.

[@OverlandCitrus]

Great Video guys stay safe

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

Thank you! Have a great week!

[@mikecolesvids]

Another fun vid thanks for sharing, we really enjoy seeing not only the beautiful Alaskan views but also all the different vans. Really makes us long for a return trip! And that snow at the beginning was amazing, 80° last week here in Florida 😳🌴

[@johnplyler7054]

Another nice Sunday video! You have been out there for quite a while! Is there one time during the year that mosquitos are less active, maybe because of their life cycle? I am trying to talk my wife into an Alaskan trip, but she worries over mosquitos. I guess the smoke from the forest fires help?

[@tedsterb]

What happened to you guys??

[@tztz1949]

😂there is a hitch bolt that works for shocks.

[@WingsandWheelsAlaska]

We had extra bolts. That does not help when it is sheared off within the frame.
