Excellent video, guys. Thank you for sharing the logistical and not-so-epic sides of full-time overland life. I always tell people, it's not a vacation, it's a lifestyle choice. We miss you! Hugs from the Tokarskys.

This one seemed like a whirlwind...but it was worth getting to know all of the nitty gritty of when and how to travel for the best results and reasons; i.e. back to Santiago before heading to the US to avoid travel through the Andes during their winter. Mendoza sounds like a great place to visit. I hope it did not get too hot. Funny - Eric - learning about the "rhino" at the museum. The food looks fantastic.

Thanks Haila! So glad you enjoyed the video! It really is a pretty neat place to visit. We may end up spending quite a bit more time in Mendoza when we fly back in July to continue the journey. ~ Eric

Awesome video as always Hourless life. Can’t wait until y’all’s next epic adventure. Y’all always show the best and the not so fun parts of full time overlanding. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s journey around the world.🌎

Love these "Behind the scenes" videos, Eric and Brittany! Chock full of the really practical considerations we need to be aware of. Things we didn't even know we had to be aware of! I noticed your Red Oxx bags... I remember when you reviewed them at the start of your trip -- They look like they're holding up amazingly well!! In this video, they look practically brand new, but I can only imagine the day-to-day rigor they've endured. Looks like a buy once / cry once item that's worth the cost. I gotta check out Eric's burger joint when we get there!

Hey Brian! Can't wait to hear about your journey and happy to be a continuing resource as well. Don't ever hesitate to reach out. Will you be at Overland Expo West this year? If so, hunt us down. Happy to hang out. As far as Red Oxx, in full transparency, they are one of our 28 gear sponsors. Having said that, I do swear by these bags. It is a Made in the USA, Veteran Owned company based out of Billings Montana. Get this, the bags are like new still. And the bags are guaranteed for the life of the BAG. Not your life, the life of the bag. So it truly is a buy once cry once item that you'll never regret purchasing because your great grandkids will be using them on their travels. Anyhow, stay in touch, and like I said, always feel free to reach out! ~ Eric

Hey I recognize that Claro store! That was the first one coming south that understood what a 'tourist esim" was.

Haha. Isn't it refreshing when you find a place that actually understands what you need as a foreigner? ~ Eric

Wine must not be trivialized! Why else go to Argentina? I'd probably throw out tools, the spare tire and food to get more wine in the rig. ha ha Good to see you guys. Safe travels. That boy is looking good. He's a strong team member.

Haha John. We have 4 or 5 bottles left corked in DAUNTLESS for when we get back. Brittany would agree that wine must not be trivialized although if she throws out my tools we're going to have an issue. We're back in the States now and heading slowly towards Overland Expo West! ~ Eric

You guys are on a totally different level! Hardcore!

It has been quite a journey so far. We've been taking our time in the countries to really get to know the people, their culture, and their history. We took 2.5 years just to get to Mendoza, Argentina from the USA. Thanks for following along. On the off chance you are going to Overland Expo West this year, we'll be there presenting and parked in the Content Creator area near the Storyteller Pavilion. Would love to meet you. ~ Eric

Unfortunately I wont be there. I'm in Virginia, so that's a bit of a haul for me (although not as big of a haul as for you guys!). I'd definitely love to cross paths at some point though!

@@DefiantOffroad completely understand. We hope to be back in the States the next time in Octoberish of 2025 if all works out the way we hope. But you never know.. ~ Eric

Hey guys I’d love to see while in Flagstaff when are you presenting? Hopefully you’ll get this.

Hey Alan, so I'm just getting caught up on comments. We responded to your message while we were at Expo letting you know where we'd be. Hopefully your phone was working there with all the crowds I know signal was spotty for everyone! ~ Eric
