OUR STORY:
We're Tal & Mads - a Nurse & Teacher couple from Toronto, Canada who fell in love while traveling the world together. When we adopted our dog Bowie, we decided the best way to continue traveling would be in our self built camper van, Billie. We hit the road in January 2022 and drove all the way through the United States and into Mexico. We thought creating vlogs would be a great way to keep our friends and family updated while being a wonderful memento of our travels. And now, here we are sharing anything and everything that we think will make you smile.

Happy Sunday everyone! We are so excited to be sharing this vlog with you!! We love sharing new experiences with you! Have you or would you ever try ice climbing?? Let us know what you think!

[@krissy_7778]

I never have and at 45, I don’t see that happening. But I could def do last weeks plane ride! ❤️🥰 (I’m slightly scared of planes, but my will to live life helps me do scary things!😁)

[@barbarajohnson4704]

I have in the early 80's. I was stationed in Alaska (Elmendorf AFB) ❤️

[@malcolmberke4862]

I am unable to ice climb. Watching you guys do it left me speechless. Thank you again for the smiles and adventures. What an awesome way to start my week. Thanks again😎🙏

[@toomanydogs2]

Oh hell yeah! 30-40 years ago! At 68, all my ice is in the beer cooler! How fun!

[@iantulloch2809]

I have never tried ice climbing, Would love to have a go though, Although I'm 61yrs old, You have to at least once, looks amazing

[@caroltrombley2838]

Omg ladies! You are soooo brave to do that. What an amazing experience! See, that's one reason why I love this channel. You challenge yourselves. Way to go! I'm in such awe of you two. Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear about the drone. Happy Sunday ladies ❤😊🥰

[@r.j.sworkshop7883]

Being out on the glacier never gets old. I've done 6 seasons in Antarctica, and every time I am out on the glacier for work or fun, it is excellent. Nice work on the climbing.

[@talandmads]

Wow! Antarctica! Now THATS an adventure!!

[@andreaschudzinski-buchholz4221]

What an adventure on the glacier, thanks for sharing, it was great fun watching you, I'm smiling xx 🤗 see you next Sunday 🐾💛💛

[@krissy_7778]

Thank you girls for yet another AMAZING VIDEO! You two are so brave! We live vicariously through you, at the same time, you remind us weekly to get out and live life!! Thank you for that! 🙏🏻❤️

[@talandmads]

Hey Krissy! Thank YOU for watching!! We probably look more brave than we are but we’ll take it!

[@jennyellis2062]

Yes madds i can relate to you not seeping the night before you are going away or doing something important , I'm always doing this when I'm going away etc

[@talandmads]

It's all the excitement!! Thanks for watching :)

[@berniesenske994]

Such an awesome trip. It was nice to see how things work close up. I would have considered doing this 40 years ago, but now I'm sadly to old and out of shape for something like this. I'll have to settle for ice in my glass 🤣🙃 Your guide was very nice; you ended up with a good one. It was cool to find out about that ice rescue a couple years ago; so glad everyone survived. To bad you lost your drone. It was probably ready for it's 1000 mile check up anyway, lol. I thought it was so interesting to see most everything there, besides white, had a blue tinge to it. Very pretty. Maybe the next adventure could be to check out all the McDonalds along the road.......NO!.....well, maybe I'm just hungry. Anyway, whatever adventure you two do, I'm sure will be just as beautiful as this and Danalie. Love you both... Bernie ❤

[@LeeHeck27]

What an amazing adventure, looks so much fun, stunning landscape, thanks for taking the time to share with us.

[@christopherjenkins8873]

You too, are amazing. I have lived here for 40 years and never once wanted to ice climb Matanuska glacier. I however, have walked on top of it and that was good enough for me. I love your sense of adventure.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi all good morning happy Sunday morning and I just wanted to say that you all amazing Supporter and I'm proud of all of you

[@colleenbalch328]

So glad you are living lift to it's fullest and hoping you get a little sunshine and warmth sometime soon, Mads!

[@estherkalkbrenner5222]

Awesome. Thanks for taking us along. The colours of the ice and water are one of a kind.oh, and sorry about the Drone 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@danielashton5697]

I hope you don’t mind but I find myself living vicariously through your videos. What an amazing thing to do!!

[@talandmads]

We LOVE that!!! So happy to have you following along!

[@leilaluceros7884]

OMG! Brave souls!!! ❤ Love how you think about life!! " Do it while you can." Doing something expectacular will always be something you will talk about later in life!! Love both of you❤

[@davidslate2005]

OMG, this might be may favorite of all you videos. (needed more Bowie). It had everything. Mad's calming Teacher voice, Tal's snarkiness (which I definitely respect), and we even got a Canadian "eh" thrown in. And the subtitles got it, too. A+. Thank you.

[@nathanbrand4607]

😊😊😊😊 you ladies definitely made me smile. It is so Cool. Drinking straight out of a glacier friends of mine back up in the north. Their parents live right across from a glacier so we used to be able to go climb around and drink out of the different places. Wishing you and yours the very best in life. Take care tal & mads😊

[@padders1068]

Tal & Mads - Alaska, just WOW! Your adventures just keep getting better and better. Thanks for sharing, happy and safe more adventures! ❤

[@jeffh2392]

OMG, you guys are sooooo AWESOME!!!!! Glad you got to do the plane trip last week, I loved it when I did it. I wish I had done the glacier, but there is just so much to do up there. Loved seeing Talia eating Cheesy Poofs at the bottom of the Glacier, so funny. Keep up the great content, you make my Sundays!!

[@1984shadow]

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. These 3 powerful words can get you through anything. Ice climbing CAN SURE TEST YOUR METAl, but Tal and Mad, you did it with grace and determination Congratulations..

[@talandmads]

Craig your words are always so powerful! Thank you. Hope you enjoyed the early access!

[@blazerprophet]

How is it you only have 34K subscribers? Your vlogs are funny, very real, sometimes informative, sometimes awesome like this Alaska trip.... I watch a lot of YT vids, and this is A1 content. Keep it going.

[@cparker7431]

[@carolynknisely2383]

That was amazing!! And the guides sounded so supportive and calm. They were great!!

[@cathieperezreyes]

[@talandmads]

Hey Greg! Ahh yes we will continue to try to post it to Patreon early, thanks for that feedback!

[@Vvvovvan1]

Your videos are becoming more and more epic! Than was awesome, keep on going, guys! ;)

[@martylovejoy]

Wow! That must have been intense!!! I doubt I'll ever try ice climbing... fear of heights... A few months ago I was lucky enough to trek in Patagonia to the base of Torres del Paine and Fitzroy in El Chalten and on the Perrito Moreno Glacier - the big three - YOU GOTTA DO PATAGONIA !!!!!! And I gotta do Alaska. Thanks for taking us😃

[@jaymeli7269]

Great video ladles

[@trevorcroom190]

Awesome video. Happy travels.❤❤

[@robertlafollette2236]

Great job girls, proud of you.❤❤

[@dianethompson463]

If not mistaken , first it was the climbing the ice mountains and then the airplane and everything became one day we will. I believe that plane ride and what you experience going above the clouds and landing in warmth and eating ice and landing back made a change. And so now you are climbing the iceberg mountain. Continue to climb every mountain because you are finding your dreams come true.I believe in you !

[@bethlef5168]

Wow Great video!!

[@linelle]

You are fantastic !

[@suzannechance5876]

Good episode, thanks!

[@copa1856]

Loving it! ❤ I would definitely want to do this after watching your video. XX

[@celinel9750]

Few minute in but I have to stop: For sure the most epic advertising for AG1 ! You go girls 🙂

[@tomas5376]

That was pretty cooooooooooooool!

[@retireordont]

Wow looks like such an awesome adventure 🎉🎉❤

[@ianlove3]

Well done both of you.

[@amyfu2047]

Ahhh the water here in the north is the best water you’ll ever taste! I’ve gone on hikes in Juneau to smaller glaciers and going for a wade in the water and drinking right from the glacial runoff is the best!! I don’t do a lot of hiking these days because I have moderate spinal and foraminal stenosis causing quite a bit of pain but I’m hopeful physio helps. I don’t know if I could do the ice climbing. My fear of heights might take over. I had a hard enough time installing fans in my van roof. 🤪🤪🤪 in my defense I almost fell 20 feet working in lights in a small theatre space years ago. It’s not the fall that scares me. It’s the landing!!

[@CarinaPiersay]

Wow that looked like so much fun!!! Your narratives are always so well written and your videography and editing is lovely! Have a good week ladies 👍🏼

[@krissy_7778]

IM SO EXCITED I CANT WAIT!!! 2 min in!! ❤️🥰

[@mizzloyce4439]

Really cool video glad u enjoyed ur adventure. Be safe Ladies... Hugs 🙂💜

[@garylindenmuth7468]

How cool

[@jandavis1362]

This is great. You guys are definitely daring and adventurists. Great video.

[@eugeniamotte974]

OMG that’s crazy ! I hope you had lots of fun, maybe hopefully that was once in a life time thing to do😮❤

[@PascaleLaurent81]

As Canadians, I’m surprised you didn’t know what crampons were. 😂 It’s a borrowed word from French with the same spelling just pronounced differently. It’s used widely in the winter especially.

[@alanjuby150]

great videos thanks

[@adamgershon3924]

Out of this world!

[@nickislade5533]

Another great Vlog. Back to work for the next trip 🤣

[@chrissaelens2618]

AG1 just do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@adamgershon3924]

That’s crazy!! I wouldn’t have the guts to do that!

[@tammy6992]

Lol panic eating I had never heard of panic eating😂

[@phyllismulkey3778]

looked like fun

[@valerierichards6648]

I feel like Crampons should be the actual word for Tampons. 😂😂😂 (I can't take credit for that. I think I heard that in one of Kara & Nate's videos. lol.) But anyway, good on ya! That must have been such an adrenaline rush! And that glacier water in the crevice is SOOOOO inky blue! Gorgeous! Stunning. RIP drone, but you did get some amazing footage before she died.

[@krismyers4940]

You gals are crazy!😳😬🇨🇦

[@rossbrown1748]

This is so cool, have a great time!

Great video! Come visit us in Colorado and we'll take you whitewater rafting!

What an amazing adventure in a breathtaking landscape! You did absolutely great! Sorry that the drone didn't make it through this experience.

Another beautiful video. Adventure of a lifetime. RIP to the drone lol oops.

Seek discomfort! 💜
