Thanks so much for organising this! we learnt a lot! I'm so ready for the second attempt!! just tell me when 😀

These are the videos I live for! Unexpected chaos, the struggle, the friendship, the overwhelming amount of HONESTY OMG it’s such a breath of fresh air. You guys created a masterpiece with this one. I love to see you guys overcome the obstacles as a team as a family. Genuine people, genuine scenarios, genuine outcomes. God bless you all and hope to see more content like this.

Best part. Awesome filming and editing.🎉 That image will stay with me forever!

[@doke889]

The edit of Nate’s dumbfounded face with Kara saying “And Nate…has a good attitude”, almost made me pee my pants.

[@AlyssaWard]

The funniest part of the video! 😂

She shouldn’t even be there she’s making this video about her not the guys

[@PeterSF-no6no]

I love the opposite stress levels of both Kara and Nate while in the car. Nate thinks is may be the first time he doesn't complete an adventure. Nate goes on to say he feels responsible for all of them being on this adventure. Kara on the other hand is "every one dresses so cute in England".

[@saintsaens21]

Also, she mistook a posh district of Brighton for all of England.

[@joro7304]

She definitely wasn't thinking about London when she said that!

[@emma.grace..]

I’m in the middle of watching the video but I just wanted to say I literally LOVEEE when y’all, raya and Louis, kinging it, and eamon and bec, etc get together! It’s my favorite of videos to watch and honestly it turns into a comedy show 😂🩵

[@KaraandNate]

We love it too 🥹🫶🏼

Awe so glad you love our dynamic Emma!! ❤😊

[@emma.grace..]

Thanks for replying! I didn’t expect both of y’all to 😁

[@chingsanbuenaventura6816]

I was waiting for this reunion. I noticed there’s always a few hiccups when you’re all planning to be together in a boat. Last time, Eamon got sick had to stay at a hotel.

[@leslieollerhead1114]

❤❤❤❤

[@eamonandbec]

The only thing better than living a spontaneous, somewhat abnormal life is having best friends to do it with!! Thanks for including me on this epic adventure. To be continued… 🫠👊🏼

[@TeresaSlivinski]

Does that mean they’re going to try again? 😂

[@lauralcairns4032]

Yes definitely to be continued next time with Holmes and Riley LOL

[@chronicity7991]

So many takeaways from this video! 1. They all have a great sense of humor, which is a lifesaver itself. 2. The way they all collaborate is inspiring, and shows how fun troubleshooting can really be. 3. How thankful I am Nate didn't have Kara do this! 4. How funny that the clip from Nate and the stove keeps popping up! 5. Some friendships might be sorely tested by something like this, but with these folks, it likely made their friendships stronger. 6. High score on the laugh scale for the whole video! Thanks guys, you crazy kids!

[@jasonpacific5661]

So wonderful that you took the time to write something so good. And yes it's so funny how Nate's mini explosion in the van keeps popping up... So perfectly capturing their off and on chaotic wild Adventures.

[@Anyakolokol]

Such a cool video! I love it!

[@an-thiennguyen3120]

love how the boat man was like "oh that was my phone" so chill

[@KaraandNate]

Andy is a LEGEND

[@yourascensionjourney3050]

I think that the boat issues were a God send. You all had gut instincts telling you not to do it, but kept going anyways, so Divine intervention had to step in. Im happier you are all safe. And I have to say when I saw you all with your flags surfing, it brought tears to my eyes in excitement and happiness that you are all still safe. Cherie in Canada!!

[@sjb4280]

Agreed sometimes you gotta listen to the universe

[@doguellt]

So, so true!

[@ynys_mon6928]

Oh my goodness, as a Brit it’s always been the mantra that the English Channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.Glad you broke down before you got into the actual shipping lanes!

[@zivagoldman2001]

First, when Kara says "...and Nate has a good attitude!" LOL, that was classic! Second, when the guys are all in the water, the sun is setting and they all have their flags flying in the wind... I loved that shot! Whoever thought of that idea gets a gold star!!! :)

[@pancake5707]

As a seawoman who navigates those huge ships, if I was in your place my biggest fear would be run over by those big ships when you fall in water because you are wearing black in dark water and big ship radars do not pick up humans on their radar.

[@kp8740]

Wearing life jackets might have been a good idea?

[@ssjess2504]

2:00 a big moustache outside 😂😂 3:15 what is louis smelling on his hands 😂😂😂 15:20 kara was living her best life knowing she didn't have to get in the water 20:59 love the flag idea! How cool ❤

[@MrThomasandersen]

You 3 guys are Legends (as Riley Whitelum would say). With those 3 flags… WOW what great shots 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦😍

[@angeltravelstheworld]

It definitely is about the journey, not the destination. This video perfectly captures that well. What an experience.

Honestly the optimism from you guys is so inspiring. I love how you can turn anything around 😊 thanks for creating such a positive space on KZbin ❤

From this end this looked like one of the most successful adventures you've ever had! In a different way, of course, but those were some awesome memories made between friends! What a story you'll have to tell in the future!

[@dianaplanas2095]

Man, this was entertaining for sure!!! I’m so glad you all stayed cool, calm and collect it. It’s always about the adventure not the destination. Can’t wait to see the next attempt. Love you guys!!!

[@Kathleenventura]

Loved seeing the three side-by-side versions of the same adventure with Eamon/Bec’s and Louis’ videos. Usually, you guys split the coverage of a given trip but seeing the three distinct styles of storytelling and video production was super cool. Also, this helped me realize how much I appreciate how informative your videos are because I watched Eamon’s video first and I found myself wondering what was going on/what was being attempted exactly (plans, distance, potential challenges)😆 Your vid answered all my questions!

[@heathershobe3694]

This is friendship at its finest🤌🏼 These are the memories that last a lifetime!! Way to hold things together Kara. Stay you✌🏼

[@jb-nk5pg]

Hearing Andy being so calm while the most insane things happen is so funny like he dropped his phone and was like “oh well” and then the boat almost floated away and he’s just tip toeing and calmly chasing it I love him

[@LaurenandtheCrew]

"Eamon's built multiple vans, Louis has converted multiple vehicles, and Nate......has a great attitude!" 🤣🤣 I mean, she's not wrong!!

This episode has to be one of my top ten Kara and Nate videos. I love it so much! Men a group get such a bad rap lately and this video showed some of the best that men can be. The adventurous, tenacious, strong, intelligent spirit of these men made me proud of them. When they held the flags of their countries as they glided over the water I was moved. Well done gentlemen!! (And let's not forget Kara with her navy seal moves and perpetual positivity!) Thanks for great content you two!

[@cherylmoser6383]

That looked like so much fun! What an amazing group of people to have fun through trials and make the most of every minute no matter if it’s plan A or Z. Excellent motto for living fully!

[@cindywernert1605]

I LOVE when you all get together. It’s so funny AND we get to see 3 different versions of the same fun adventures! Watching the guys riding into the sunset with their home flags unfurled gave me goosebumps!

This was an epic adventure. Watched Eamon and Bec and then Kara and Nate and enjoyed both immensely 🇨🇦

Epic...simply EPIC. I started out not being to thrilled to watch this episode, but it was grand! Loved the problem-solving, trial-and-error and all the joking around. The best part was the 3 guys with their flags as capes moving along the water with a wonderful music bed. I could watch failed plan videos all day!!!!

I’m glad you arrived back in the UK safe Nate. You never know what lurks beneath the waves 🫣. This was such fun seeing the three of you try your best to rise to the challenge despite the knot in your stomachs. Kara did a great job as chief emotional support officer. ❤❤

[@lexlovesthebeach]

Oh my god, this epic failure of a task was maybe my best laugh in months. I love the bro-energy between the 4 guys. And I REALLY love that forevermore when we speak of Nate's mechanical abilities you can just cut to that clip of Nate 'fixing' the stove in the van - I almost died laughing!!! Thanks guys and will look forward to seeing you try again, hopefully in the not too distant future!

[@ashleysimms3684]

Great job, everyone! I know it didn’t go to plan, but with how anxious everyone was feeling I think it was probably for the best. And it was still a great video!

You have a life that only 98% of us can dream of! You’re blessed beyond words! Thanks for sharing your lives with us! ❤

That was solid advice from Kara "have you tried turning it off and on again?" It solves so many problems

[@englishrose4388]

I know someday you're going to do this successfully, and I'll be excited to watch that video! You gave it a good try, didn't give up, and that's what matters most!

I consider it a win with all the things going wrong with the boat and being so close to the shipping lanes and no one got hurt and you still road the boards for a bit. So congrats!🎉

[@virginiab7895]

How. Cinematic. Was. That. Scene. Kara, you are infallible. I love your adventures together as a couple, but as a solo traveler, I've had some of the most amazing experiences with fellow globetrotters, so when you guys link up with other world travelers, it brings back memories for me. I greatly enjoy "meeting" other people through you. I think you're right, Kara: for everything to have gone as planned would have been...less exciting. What an epic video and adventure!

[@N-A-uw5fp]

Kara, thanks for explaining what happened! I watched Eamon’s first and his video was a lot more confusing. Glad everyone is happy and safe! 💗

What an incredible adventure guys! But this final bloops killed me! 😂😂

[@yellowsdn]

Long time viewer here, I think it’s really cool you guys posted this vid anyway even though the original goal was never complete. I respect that y’all tried anyway and were able to make the most out of the challenge despite all the obstacles that came up!

[@MegaNaww]

There's something inspirational about watching successful people go through failure. They demonstrate how attitude is everything; they accept the risk and let themselves live the experience. That's how you turn a failure into a learning experience.

[@carolineindacityphx]

You did it! Well, you guys succeeded in another epic adventure! 😍🥰❤️ Aww. I cannot wait until Nate, Eamon and Louis cross the English Channel on lift foils! It didn't happen this time, but I am sure it will happen 🎉

[@nekishasorias]

I just love that three channels have the same video, encompassing the same content but they are all totally different! I thoroughly enjoyed each video as its own entity. To me, that’s a testament of your talent as storytellers and the intense creativity and AWESOMENESS that is @karaandnate @louis and @eamonandbec ❤ Love you guys sooo much from Trinidad 🇹🇹

Looks like fun, and so glad you were able to get the boat moving again and back to shore without having to call the coast guard. I could just imagine the news headlines if you'd drifted into the shipping channel and needed rescue, lol.

In an unfortunate situation like this, these 4 men came together to try and fix things. They didn't give up...

[@user-cq6kr7os2c]

I know this is all meant to be light-hearted entertainment, but it feels rather misjudged to me - there are hundreds of refugees risking their lives by attempting to cross the Channel in poor quality vessels each week, as they try to find a safer life for themselves and their families, often with tragic consequences. I didn't watch the whole video so maybe there was some reference to this later on. But if not, it's sad that the desperate situation of these refugees wasn't acknowledged.

[@sharkeyist]

Desparate situation of the refugees? You’re a just stop oil fan too i suppose??

[@welium123]

Risking their lives to try and find a safer life... from France? I'm confused, what is so dangerous about France??

An American, a Canadian, a British crossing the English Channel to France. Reminds heavily of the Normandy Invasion/D-Day of WW2! Great cinematography! Are you guys thinking of it when shooting the footage with the flags?

[@Tonyshandle]

The lack of safety precautions is worrying, please respect the sea next time.

[@sharkeyist]

That and a massive donation to the RNLI for the stupid example set.

[@Adventures-and-More]

RIP to the migrants that die every year trying to make this crossing in dinghy’s. Glad you guys had fun on your fancy surf boards or whatever. Please don’t do this again without propper resources that you pay for yourselves.

[@IestynsViola]

I'm going to dissent from the majority view; I found the whole premise of this adventure rather irresponsible, as borne out by the situation you found yourselves in. Don't get me wrong: I love your free spirit and sense of challenge, but the most extreme things you've done have always been strictly in the context of well organised, risk-assessed and supported activities. This felt like none of the above. And that's before you even get to the question of expertise to cross the English Channel on that tech. Can't imagine what exemption clauses of your travel insurance you breached. Oh, and that decision *not* to call the coastguard when you had been explicitly advised to do so? That's stupidity; and I didn't hear justification other than 'boys wanted to sort it themselves'. Really? On a scale of 1-10, where most of your videos score 8+ for content and style, this one gets a 3 for me - 2 for Brighton and 1 for Kara for getting through it. Please don't 'try again' - try a safer, more manageable stretch of water.
