Are you team twinkie or team ding-dong? P.S. T-shirts, hats, and patches now in stock at www.overlandstyle.com !

[@fraserhenderson7839]

In Canada, we have Vachon Bakeries who produce "baked goods" that out Ding Dong Ding Dongs and out Twi... you know where I'm going... This was another really (I mean it) enjoyable interlude in my deadline based life. I used to spend so much time in Wilderness Travel, albeit on foot, and I seem to have let it go. I feel an attraction to the bush that has been absent in me for years and I blame you, McCuistons. Happy Trails to you.

[@teddyjakeddy975]

I have a Twinkie (fav) and a Ding Dong almost every day. They make you healthy, wealthy and wise, or is that something else?

[@gregormiller4037]

Serious? You had to ask? you know Goldfish, Club Cracker, very thinly sliced red onjun, thinly sliced swiss and your favorite salami is the greatest snack on Gods Green Earth...Unless you add some fresh smoke oyster:)

[@raydavis6979]

Definitely a ding dong! Chocolate forever...

[@gregormiller4037]

@@raydavis6979….if your talkin' Ding Dong, Ho Ho's and a Yoo Hoo wrapped in bacon, then deep fried, ya got me beat!

[@alberthechme4001]

You are the reason why I bought a 2023 TRD OFF ROAD PREMIUM hopefully it’s any day now that I will get a call from the Toyota dealership that it had arrived. What you do with your family is an inspiration!

[@TintioT]

Guys, it is very hard to not be mesmerized, by the music, the scenery, Actors ;-).. by watching each episode sometimes you forget about what it is and just enjoy a short snippet of a trip. Thanks for the adventure, T

[@cornerstone403]

WOW! It just keeps getting better and better! Caroline is not only a beautiful child but such a young brain!! She is destined to became such an intelligent woman of the world. Be proud, Parents, be very proud!! Hey, thanks yet again. This was perfect timing as this is my hubster's 74th birthday. My own...69th birthday is June 15. We are The June's!. To travel is to live!

[@w0nt0nj0n]

Nothing better than a solid axle Land Cruiser

[@LifestyleOverland]

Agreed 😁👍

[@splatmacpuffin]

One of the best overlanding videos I’ve seen yet ! You’ve captured what it’s all about.

[@khankhaaaan]

The catamaran just hauleeeedd... everybody lolll

[@Dode1936]

Caroline's reaction inside Safeway when the package of cookies got shot down.... CLASSIC! Haha Excellent editing and amazing scenery in this episode. Plus, LWW are fine folks.

[@LifestyleOverland]

🤣🤣🤣 Poor girl... But she still got some good stuff

[@notforgotten2798]

Love the 'ol Troop!!

[@danrolfsen3163]

If you guys had 1,000 episodes I’d most likely binge watch them all! Keep up the incredible work! Thank you for sharing your trip with those of us who can’t make it out there... yet!

[@Equinox121]

Just found this channel and absolutely love it. So peaceful

[@Ptrglyph]

Like someone else said my two favorite youtube channels and its awesome you hooked up had to be a blast!! Thank you for sharing!

[@michaelp1109]

As always...amazing. Great shots, editing and commentary. Just love it. Loves the shots of Caroline jumping over the water at the campsite. Thanks again for sharing. And as stated before, it was a pleasure meeting you at Expo West.

[@hovathmh]

Awesome video. More amazing scenery 😀 and chili with Fritos, a must. And yes, the Troopy needs to make an appearance in a future video.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Glad you liked it! As to the Troopy... #projectelsie will rise one day...

Halasz. Hungarian? :-) Szia!

Top notch as usual. Thank you guys.

[@chrisk4617]

Great video ! One of the best yet ! Alaska has to be the most beautiful place on earth ! Thank you for sharing your adventures !

[@joehop5780]

Awesome video as per the usual! Glad you got to hook up with some kindred spirits and spend time!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks! We had a blast!

[@bryan7821]

You do know,,,, you guys could make tourism sky rocket in Alaska ? Now you make me want to go there,,,Lol ! I just got back from the Philippines 3 weeks ago. It`s a 1st,,,2nd,,, and 3rd world country depending on where you go. The beaches are beautiful. Amazing video guys ! Tell Miss Caroline,,, i said hi !

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Nice :-) 2 Yota’s off road in Alaska, and yes ! You can never have 2 much bacon 🐷

[@chuckzechman7390]

Awesome adventure. Team Ding-Dong and it's not just because you daughter is so darn cute. Safe Travels and God Bless!

[@SpeakEazy850]

Makes me miss Northwest WA so much, I lived on Whidbey Island for a little while and it was awesome up there.

[@diggerdog6649]

Another incredible video guys. It is a shame that you have to go into the woods like that. :) Take care and be safe out there

[@zebra12SarahJoy]

I’m born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska. I’ve only watched a couple of these videos so far, but I really enjoy them!

[@vinnyc365]

Best. Episode. Ever.

[@BenandBrandi]

Wow! awesome job! love your editing!! so awesome seeing another family doing what we do!

[@andytoms409]

You can never have too much BACON. Never a truer sentence spoken in the history of the world.

[@darylwalker266]

Kevin and Sarah - Great job as always. You do such a good job with the music you use! I always look forward to your next video! God bless!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much, Daryl!

[@trustinwwjd1997]

Whoa,,, what a fantastic scenery of Alaska,,, thanks so much for sharing,,, Safe, happy & blessed travel on your all journey,,,,

[@nerdgarage]

Kevin: "Just so you know, I was the one who organized the fridge this time." Sarah: "Ut oh, should I take a look." Fridge: "It's Bacon all the way down." (bonus points to anyone who gets the reference)

[@ronwebster3547]

Hi another fantastic video. That is one mean ferry but not as good as the troopy As to lifes litte issues all ways remember"illegitimi non carborundum Stay safe -Safe travels

[@kwmoore3464]

I was amazed that you could find Johnsonville Brats with Hatch green chile in them in Alaska. We didn't have them here in Edgewood. Now I want brats for lunch!

[@jasonswartzbaugh3925]

At a mere $7.50 per package! 😲🤣

[@ftkinsella]

My wife makes the best chilli, ding-dong M/F! Hahahahaha Man I just love your little family. Cheers!!!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for watching!

[@Captain-Awesome]

Another Great Video Guys!!! Thank You!!

[@TraumaRNKen]

So glad you guys are back on the air, missed you! Another great video, thanks for sharing!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Good to be back! Thanks for joining us!

[@OverlandGeneration]

Yay! My 2 favorite tubers!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Aw shucks 😏

[@porscheguy09]

Probably the most you’ve ever paid for bacon at a regular grocery store in your life. $10 a pound.👍 The further out you get the more expensive stuff like milk and eggs get too. I’ve paid $10 for a gallon of milk before when I lived in Alaska and was camping. Almost everything sold in Alaska is shipped up by barge or container ship and raises prices significantly. A few things are state grown or produced but not much.

[@sipropamtanahdatar5668]

i like this..the troopy lovely..haha

[@wright67]

That Bailey bridge at 27:35 is amazing. Its awesome to see WWII surplus still being used.

[@LifestyleOverland]

I didn't even realize what it was! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@jasonswartzbaugh3925]

They don't make things like that anymore.

[@theheepjeep]

Poor Caroline and those cookies haha. Another great video, oh and team twinkie of course.Side note: Jorge got everyone wanting Troopy's now!

[@tmurray12]

I would love to have a troopy!

[@marcovalenzuela4177]

That was great, what a wonderful and magical place

[@StroProductionz]

I could argue that my wife makes the best chili!

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

Team TWINKIEDINGDONG with Ice cream! Best both worlds! Great job! Cinematic Overland poetic greatness. Might I see some campfire acoustic guitar jams in future episodes/????

[@rodwood693]

Don't Troopies have steering stabilizers? That steering wheel kicking around must get tiring after a while.

[@eaglen00b]

They do. Steering damper. At least on my 75 series Troopy it has.

[@beckymoran321]

How am I just now finding your channel!!! So great! New subscriber!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Welcome to the channel!

[@jaysuper8255]

Another great episode....Trying to figure out the date of the Valdez travel period. I'm thinking mid-Sept. We left in 16' Labor Day Weekend and the snow level on the mtns near Valdez and Thompson Pass was 1/2 down the slopeside.

[@maxst2]

Awesome production as usual! Some amazing sights to see there for sure!

[@aulii11]

It always makes my day when you post a video - thanks!

[@thedetective8150]

Jorge is wearing a cool green coat. My sister-in-law has a diesel Fortuner (AKA: 4Runner) in Indonesia and an Indonesian buddy has a diesel double cab HiLux ( Tacoma).

[@goku.lc80]

No, a fortunes is not a 4Runner and a Hilux is not a Tacoma

[@thedetective8150]

@@goku.lc80 They are similar but you are right not the same.

[@dwighthires3163]

great adventure! I want to take the ferry between Valdez and Whittier but cannot find the price for my pick-up and trailer. What was it for your rig?

[@leoarguelles4181]

Chingon!!!

Great video as always. Safe travels!

[@dannyconelly1454]

Love your channel guys, even more now you owned a 45 troopy mate! Really enjoy the music and the way you capture your daughters perspective of things. keep up the great work. Alaska is a long way from Paris Creek South Aus, but its seriously on my bucket list.

[@ejacs8077]

It would be a real treat and a blessing to eat at your camp every day

[@MOOCHZ1LLA]

How do you lock your max coupler to your truck? I worried about my trailer when we stop somewhere not camping. Between your and their timeline on the vids, I am so confused. Obviously you meet them after they got rid of that van thing. Also after your 1st vid with LiveWork Wander I started following them. They like the green stuff along with everyone they know. Did they get you to partake? Haha

[@CtrlTechKev]

I am loving these videos! All of them

[@Hazardbone]

Gotta love the toyota life👌

[@SuperRanger03]

Hatch in Alaska ! Who would have thought! 👍👊

[@Chicanoverland]

Totally, right?

[@philipw7557]

Nice one guys great video awsome country 👍😎

[@docdevin]

What great adventure! I love your channel & I am now a Patreon member! Please keep up the good work. I'm a ding-dong man myself!

[@christinapittsley786]

Chili and Scoops are awesome!

[@glennj6465]

Mmm that did look nice chilly 😍

[@Chicanoverland]

The real question is: Green or Red? However Twinkie's help with the heat... ok not really!

[@hamishdavidson3368]

That Troopy is lonely it needs to come to Australia

[@yoyokjo]

Love all your explorations of Alaska, gives me ideas of where to take my 4 runner this summer!

[@dylanzurflueh6853]

Love these videos! You guys should plan on visiting Kodiak while you are in Alaska! Kodiak is where I live and It’s an island 200-300 miles south of homer! It’s a great little town!

[@shoedil812]

Do you have a 12 gauge for the bears?

[@kid8605]

The chili looks AMAZING - I need me one of them big ole chili/frito bowls. I will not choose between twinkie & ding dong...

[@WenboCanadaImmigration]

Beautiful, where is it?

[@kevinberrio7221]

Hola muy bueno el vídeo ojala pudiera probar su comida se ve deliciosa

[@Ivansgarage]

Ya that chili looked good, hint, chili on a baked potato....

[@gregormiller4037]

I think chili burrito would be good, that is if ya have fresh maters, avo, green onjun...maybe a fried egg? just thinkin....

[@jewels7832]

I always hit the thumbs up as the video starts but this one needs 2 thumbs up! Awesomeness 😊

[@halimpearl]

Amazing....good morning from Indonesia 😃😃😃😃

Caroline chose the correct one!

[@Atlasadventure]

Great video awesome views 👍🏻

[@wintermetalhd]

Is it just me or did that toyota have a lot of bumpsteer?

[@garygiles63]

Amazing, thanks for sharing

[@sharileeengle5204]

So I’m watching the beginning of this as you got on the Ferry and wondering where is your trailer, you didn’t say, so I guess you left it someplace safe and this was going to be a circle back type trip.

[@sharileeengle5204]

Okay you just didn’t show it.... you took it with you.

[@Chicanoverland]

Sharilee Engle see it peeking out at 9:25

[@ridingwiththereids]

So did you guys hear any strange noises or see any ghosts while staying in that building?? Hope you're aware that is one of the top listed haunted places in Alaska!!

[@brotherlove9307]

I've said it before the video editing makes everything look sexy. Also that's what I tell my wife. You can never have too much bacon. Every time you go to the store buy bacon. I don't care how many we have.

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

As always the best 👍👍🇨🇦

[@DSQ007]

thanks for a great video.

[@artbrownsr]

I compare walking on the TUNDRA as walking on an innerspring mattress ( and watch out for loose springs[roots and branches])

[@carmonhendrickson2825]

Hi! It would be so nice if Sarah would write a cookbook. I seem to run out of ideas when on the road. How about sharing one of your chili recipes? Adventure on.

[@shredforeffect]

Actually there was an old stampmill just past the shale slide at the end of Mineral Creek trail.

[@mauriceaustin3657]

Awesome video. Great camera work as always. How do you get your wife to drive offroad? Mine wont do it. Pavement is ok LOL
