Hi all, I was in the US Navy air wing. Nuts and bolts on jets are subject to A LOT of vibration. We would wire tie them in place. The 'wire nuts' or bolts have a hole drilled through one "corner" of the head (which can be done with a drill if you can't find them predrilled). A wire is run through the hole in the torqued down nut or bolt and attached to others in series or to a tiedown spot, if it is singular. There is a special rotating clamp plier tool to twist the wire to cinch the connection but it can be done by hand. It's hard to explain the nuances of the various configurations to apply the wire holdfast using text comments. There are videos online showing how it is done. This eliminates dependence on "nylon" nuts which can still loosen up or "lock tight' which makes them hard to remove. I've been a fan of the channel for years. Hope this comment may help someone out there. Cheers all, Thomas

You guys got this, it might seem all complicated and everything from your perspective, but the two of you are so powerful that it's just gunna happen yo. You will be at the end of this journey looking back at this moment thinking WOW we really did that, we brought two kids through that... we inspired 1.85 million people through that, (and here's the three million yet to come) it's gunna to be like, "are you serious did we really?" You will look back and think, YES we did. You will look back to this moment and think we have touched the lives of Millions... and made our lives better doing so... and when you finally cross your own path, when the two of you have have journeyed all the way back around to where this all began... I hope and pray that it is all the more magical the second time around =];) thank you... thank you for inspiring me to do the same ^.^ you all have a wonderful day.

I am always greatful for your videos, all of you, and how well matched your guests and occasional crew you vet!! Your recent episode had me on what can go wrong out in the blue! And you navigation skills are top shelf both of you! I've trucked all over North America and mostly Canada. You HAVE to fix what fails trouble shoot, improvise , forward think and be calm. At minus 40c and no one to hear your May day call you've got at best 90 minutes before your engine won't start at those temps. Very proud of you both. And a mate that has your back and a lady that loves you. You may not have it all together but together you have it All.

I LOVE watching the two of you - your journies; both individually, As a cpl, Nd as a family. You guys rock. Nd you do you. We love you iregarless. Well I!! Certainly do. Nd I know there will b many others like me who feel the same. Thank u for showing us what a beautiful, raw family, looks like. It's the example I think we all needed.

Well, that was a stressful experience ! I’m so glad Elayna was resting with the kids on land.

Glad you show real life. A lot of people want to get into boat life without a clue the skills needed! Great job!
