Don't worry about the content, you are giving a rare insight to the different countries you have gone through on your epic journey, I have watch others but their is something about yours that are different, most probably the length which turns them into more of a documentary than just a video of a trip. Keep safe you guys and girls and I hope the artist does thank you all someway for what you have done to help make it the record longest tour

Also it is even more interesting listening to your opinion about what you have seen and experienced during this trip. Wishing you the best-be safe.

I could be wrong but when you think of the size of Russia and the amount of time a trucker could spend away from home an American truck will give him a lot more space to relax and store kit and food than a UK truck will

Roger Lanchbury that was a thought of mine, but how many of them do that kind of distance compared to how many you see on the road?! You have to bear in mind a lot of russia must be impassable in a truck!

Hi Daniel, sorry you felt a little low in Russia but it never been the most exciting places on earth. I used to get downhearted one day, but well up the next when all went well. From what i saw Russia was much as expected and all its own rules which you have to adhere to. Looking forward to the next video.

Dan, your vlogs are great!! I know you feel they are inferior, but a lot of us rather watch reality driving. Your down to earth attitude about things is absolutely delightful for me, as you don't sugarcoat anything. Yes, I will agree with you, Russia is underwhelming. Good thing you are driving it in the dark. I think you were disappointed with Russia, as it took you freaking forever to get through the border. 21 hrs is absolutely stupid if you ask me. 5 hrs getting out is just as bad. Hoping the rest of your trip is sunnier, happier, and much better than what you just went through. Having a hard time waiting for your next vlog. lol Hugs from a Canadian fan. P.S. don't take this badly.. but would you like some cheese for your whine???? (just having fun ribbing you a little bit)

Second, have a look at Epidemic Sounds for your music. I know you've been asking for recommendations and that site is brilliant.

[@johnscanlon5697]

The reason you see USA trucks in Russia is, the close proximity as Russia to USA is roughly 5-6 miles

[@chrishoggett1375]

Funny how people expect Russia to be so different, it’s not Africa. Having said that, Russia has changed a lot in the last 10 - 15years. Especially the major cities, traffic has become much more “civilised”. Furthest I’ve driven in Russia is Sheregesh, a ski resort about 500km south-east of Novosibirsk. There is a world of difference though between Russian cities and the rural areas. I’ve still enjoyed the video though, I’ve watched from the start of the tour, I noticed you looking forward and hyping up Russia, I kinda predicted you would find it a disappointment, so I wasn’t disappointed as my expectations weren’t as high as yours :) Cheers from my boring locomotive cab on a freight train in Belgium

Don't worry about getting to pick up Russian! Paul Theroux, the travel writer who could pick up languages with ease said it was the most difficult he'd tackled.
