[@jennyrivera5867]

Eva's comments like 'two guys I barely know tear up my truck' sound so naive and somewhat nasty... I mean you must be going to professionals right so why try to undermine their talent instead of saying two guys who I absolutely trusted fix my truck...Eva is so clueless or maybe she's just trying to get more followers with fake thumbnails, hyping up her situation and those semi nude lake shots....horrible ...grow up woman

Best quick advice, get north as fast as possible. Snow could be flying in Deadhorse as soon as this month. Pass all things interesting and catch em on the return following the warm weather down. Maybe a warmer sleeping bag too.

[@jorgeo4164]

I can't wait to see little Vilk full grown. I'm so glad you got him because he will be very intimidating when full grown, thus keeping you much safer on your travels.

[@elexirghutz9540]

I'm a DIY guy and I can't say enough how excited I am to see the final build. IF only I could teleport to help 😀.

[@PhinClio]

Boarding a puppy can be hard for its human companion, but it can be pretty great for the puppy. It improves socialization and resiliency. So I hope that what sounded like a tinge of regret at the end of this video really wasn't. From all we've seen, you're being a great mom to Vilk. Hope you didn't miss him too much. I bet he had a fantastic time with his trainer.

[@evazubeck]

She sends me videos every day where he’s having so much fun, i dont think he regrets it one bit haha

[@lowkey1969]

@@evazubeck I think the only possible (and I mean possible, not absolute) mistake you may be making is letting him sleep in the same bed as you. There's a dominance hierarchy with canines. Let him sleep on the "ground floor" of Oddessy 2.0. He'll know his relationship to you, he'll be in a better place to guard and protect you, and there will be less risk of hip problems due to "climbing" (down is rougher on them than up IIRC).

[@lonniepee9804]

@@evazubeck My almost seven-year-old, 75-pound, "Skeeter," OWNS the queen-sized bed. He allows me just enough space to sleep comfortably, but there's NO issue with the pecking order and to compensate for his jumping the two feet onto the bed, he insists that I massage his hips whenever I begin a session of petting. He's an amazing watch dog, but knows how not to annoy my neighbors. In fact, from the time he was a small pup, when he would bark I would immediately bring him back into the house. He has since turned that around so that now it's his signal that he's ready to come back inside.

[@john._blazedrula]

You won’t think that when you want more room or try to command him off and he tries to bite your face off.

[@joleecleary6274]

People talking about Vilke sleeping with you. It's not an issue as long as you can tell him to get off or down. Do the training and correct if he starts to push. A confident owner generally won't have issues.

Looks like a great little business those two friends have but I really hope they look into some dust collection and protection. Might not seem a big deal when you're young but the long term of breathing that in can be live changing. Safe travels!

[@jaysgood10]

Thanks mom!

[@manicirishwriter]

Yep! Adds up...

[@basictoglamchictravels]

I was thinking the same thing too...it adds up and when you age all the dust inhaled, scratches on hands etc ..shows up.. not a pretty sight and could be avoided

[@chitlitlah]

Real men don't use dust collection. Real men snort asbestos for breakfast and drink benzene for dinner.

[@errhka]

Yup - used to work in manufacturing doign wood sanding and had severe pain and trouble breathing when we switched up one of our processes. I was wearing full respirator but the ventilation was getting switched over to a new system. As soon as we got it fixed it went away. I'll probably have long term effects from it as well - TAKE CARE OF YOUR LUNGS

[@96gazal11]

I was literally checking your channel and instagram EVERY SINGLE DAY the past week to see if you've uploaded another Odyssey 2.0 episode! Have been following you since you first went Pakistan.

The (cute) guys are doing a great job. Enjoying the process of watching each step fitted into place. You definitely did the right thing for your pup, dogs’ body temperature is naturally 5-10 degrees higher than ours and he could get heat stroke more easily. He’s so beautiful, a noble dog for sure. Will you be having the mechanical part of your vehicle gone over and upgraded before heading up to Alaska, make sure nothing can go wrong? It will be like a new car/truck.

[@drewbarney2073]

I have started watching your videos the last few weeks. They are heartwarming to see your journey and determination. Your first interactions with vilk were great as I have 3 dogs that make my life much happier. When I heard this build was in bend Oregon which I lived near for 17 years, brought back memories. Thanks for sharing your experiences

[@warrenherd9094]

Vilk is really growing. Dogs are so much of a comfort and miss them when not around. I have three dogs and can’t stand to be away from them. I don’t know how many dogs I have had over my 80+ years. The first was a mutt and I was only 6 years old. I still remember the times with him! I have been through a lot of your older ventures. I have got a totally different view of Pakistan because of you. You are fantastic in selecting and presenting subjects. Thank you.

[@C_Melvyn_James]

The round cut-out piece that you got from cutting the hole for the heating duct is called a 'to-it'. That little round piece of metal will be the key to the rest of your life, Eva. You can now do all of the things you wanted to do before but just didn't have time for. You could only do those things when you got a round to-it. Now you have one! Yay! You're all out of excuses.

[@frankl643]

While you are heading to Alaska, you should definitely drive over the Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk. This is the only road in the world that people can drive directly into the Arctic Circle and reach the Arctic Ocean. Thousands of tourists drive through this highway every year. On the 800-kilometer highway from Dawson to Inuvik, there is only Eagle Plains Hotel in the middle way, where you can have a rest and refuel. This is a beautiful road, you pass by the mountains and the river, and animals such as bears or elk may appear on the roadside at any time. This will be an unforgettable journey.

[@findingfern]

I love this. I'm so happy for your upgrades. I'm already looking to shift things around in my van!

[@evazubeck]

Hope the renos go well!

[@VoIPPortland]

The key to most people loving the traveling van life is that they don't have to do it. They have other options. They have family or friends when they can live the home life from time to time. They have financial resources. They could buy or rent a home but choose not to and prefer the van life as a temporary escape whether that is four days or 40 years. I lived the van life in 1980-1981 and short term it was great visiting all the CA beaches, etc. My friend is STILL out there in the same VW van. Now THAT is someone committent to the van life. He has no 'home base' but he is always welcome to land here anytime.

[@EgyptianPricess]

Loving this team work you got going for your upgrade on your new home. The team seem thrilled to make you a part of the journey as well which is unique. Glad you were able to share this experience with the rest of us.

Tips for Alaska. Take the ferry from Bellingham. Spend a week or more in each stop. Ketchikan, Sitka, Juneau. Get off the ferry in Whittier. Driving down to Homer stopping in Indian Valley, Girdwood, Hope, Anchor Point, and Homer. Go to Seward back up to Palmer stopping in Eagle River. From Palmer go to Valdez stopping in Glennallen. From Valdez go to Tok stopping in Paxton Lake. From Tok go to Circle stopping in Delta Junction and Fairbanks. From Circle Driving down Anchorage stopping in Healey, Denali, Talkeetna, and Wasilla.
