Intimidating

[@Haplocat]

This'll get lost but holy shit you create an amazing vibe via your editing. It's good fun in other videos but in this one I feel a real sense of something more. You really blew me away after the cat tunnel bit when you decided to you use landscapes over and over with the aid of sky removal. Your earnest trip to a better life comes across and holy shit thanks for being an honest person.

[@Pinkcatninja]

This is still legit one of my favorite brutalmoose videos. I have watched it so many times, and seeing as I am currently watching it during plague times, it is like going on a cross country roadtrip in under 30 minute

[@BansheeDarkling]

As a person who works in the hotel industry I’m thoroughly entertained by your hotel reviews

[@jacksonpercy8044]

Would you say these hotels are better or worse than the ones you've worked at?

[@tumpuga2543]

when he says the video will have “at least one other thing” at the beginning i always get excited to learn what it is even though i’ve watched this video 8+ times and just forgot

[@JohnSegway-RainingLamppost]

Wow it's really strange/cool to see America like this in a more common way, you guys really do have a totally different sky and sun over there, the clouds actually look like how clouds should and the sun is so bright and makes it all so clear, amazing!

[@illyann4669]

XD I love the casual elevator talk about a man chocking and dying in a Taco Bell

[@satoshikong8852]

For some reason, elevators are like the only place where it doesn't feel uncomfortable discussing unpleasantries with total strangers.

[@unearthlyenemy]

its because the conversation is about to end at any time

[@caseys2698]

the flava bean but if you get stuck in an elevator with someone? Then that’s the opposite cause you can’t leave and it sucks lol

[@unearthlyenemy]

Casey S getting stuck anywhere with someone is awkward, dude. I don’t think either of these points needed to be said

[@rokka7188]

Considering how used to am seeing 'Evergreen' terrain like 99% of the time around here, it's surreal to see mostly flat plains/deserts and so on throughout your road trip.

[@marsgod97]

This Video honestly has infinite rewatchability, damn its so calming

[@KidzBopOfficial]

Those editing jobs after 19:16 where the scenery gets overlaid onto the other scenes of it were super slick!

[@TinPrince]

I'm so glad other people like this series of edits as much as I do, this was one of my favourite Ian vids by far!

[@CaylaSchellin]

favourite things about this so far: - Ian's safe driving - All the MJ content - B I G T E X A N

[@cherryr9285]

I'd love to see more road trips someday if you go on one again. it doesn't feel like a boring travel vlog, it's really unique and fun and it feels like we're just hanging out in the car laughing at funny or interesting things we're seeing.

[@Hatsworthful]

@@cherryr9285 Ian's fantastic narration and the soundtrack (which oddly reminds me of the sims, or the 'sim' games from maxis in general) really push whats already a fun video even further.

I love this channel, it’s so relaxing and Ian never seems stressed, and he uploads at his own pace, assuring that the uploads are quality.

[@daniellete9049]

As a non-American, this Ian trail was so interesting to watch

[@hit0dama]

I agree! It also felt almost absurd how much time it takes to get from one side of USA to another. =D

[@shutup7768]

hitodama Yeah the US is crazy huge. You can drive for hours and still be in the same state.

[@Aaron-dt3xz]

Yep. And even just within one state you can get all sorts of different scenery and landscapes. I’ve lived in Colorado for 18 years, and I still haven’t seen everything there is to see here

[@hexyko4850]

Same here.

[@Reckno64]

[@chai4768]

[@lilpizzy8696]

I always come back to this video when I need to relax. The travel shots, the commentary, and editing make it so calming and replayable

[@spinosaurus2001]

I feel the same way about all of Ian's vids. He's a great youtuber with a genuine personality.

[@capncoolio]

Driving across the states looks like it is actually fun! Lots of little places to visit etc. I semi-regularly drive between Melbourne, Australia and Brisbane, Australia and it's practically 1200 kilometres of brown and flat, with a bit of forest/pastures at either end to make up the last 500 km

[@bispsmith9236]

It is fun! The only states that really suck are Texas (which sounds a lot like Australia lol) and Nebraska. The plains states usually are boring to drive through, but they can have really nice forests and river valleys. I personally love driving through the mountains. If you ever got the chance a drive from SoCal to Maine would be very fun and it’s on my bucket list. It would be at least a week bare minimum if you wanted to stop and explore.

18:23, as a traveler whose cat loves to find hiding spots, I actually took something from that little segment. Much obliged dude. Also it's pretty cool that you move between TX and Washington state, I loved staying in both areas for work, I feel like they got a very ying and yang vibe from eachother (like south texas vibes vs northern washington) Just saying tho

[@dutchplanderlinde766]

Jazzmine McMullins wasn’t much to see the way he went either. I would say the Rockys alone would of been a upgrade.

[@dabiskitt]

This is the coziest video I have ever seen. Road trips were such a big part of my childhood and this gives me a nostalgic contentment that I rarely feel otherwise. I’ve been watching your videos for years now and videos like this are perfect. Thank you Brutalmoose

[@sophiawidzowski1757]

I kind of would love to see the “we” that Ian is referring to- every now and then in his videos it’s obvious that someone else is filming him. I’m assuming it’s his partner and I’d love to see them! I totally get it though- he probably wants his privacy and that’s understandable. Just realized that we never have really been introduced to them, but that just makes them more mysterious

[@beepbeepdying125]

yes! its his boyfriend

[@powpowouchy5]

Im fine with never seeing them. I’m sure they are a nice person but to be frank this channel is about ian and his perspectives. I’d for hate this to become a couples channel or something.

As someone who is too poor to travel, I really appreciated seeing all of this scenery from Texas flatlands to midwest mountain ranges. It was all really beautiful and I'm very thankful that you recorded it. It made me feel like I was riding alongside you on your way to Washington.

[@dannydevito4975]

Dude I've gotta say, I've watched this video so many times I love it. You should totally do another road trip video, maybe make it into a rare segment of your channel. I would watch the shit out of that.

There's a edutainment game about that that I have had the hardest time finding! It was sponsored by AAA maybe? You had to budget and see various landmarks with a partner you chose, and one of them was a dog who always got steak if you went to the fancy restuarant
