    The lady, and the patterns on those pillows are from my people. The patterns determine which clan you are from within us Hmong. We are Hmong and known to be called the mountain people. We don’t have a country. But you can find us in the high mountains of Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. We helped the U.S navigate through the jungle, and fight during the Vietnam war. Then finally found our way migrating to the U.S! Glad to see my people make an appearance through your journey! Keep up the good videos! Enjoying every minute of it!
  • @ft.grantclan8555
    Your build is iconic to DIY camper builds in my opinion. I love every aspect from the older gen f350 to flatbed w/ cabin build. blows my mind.
  • @DenDrobiazko
    I love how genuine and simply this guy reacts to everything that happens. I get the feeling that this is how a mentally stable, not destroyed by the crazy pace of modern life person should act.
  • @Saekes
    I appreciate you giving the truckers space to go on through. Means a lot to us and we all really appreciate people moving over and helping us out on the road :)
  • Place your diesel cap on your driver seat while you refill. You’ll never forget it.
  • @bestshrooms3283
    The truck alone is legendary, then to have a slick setup and actually use it in extreme situations!! Respect
  • @johndaniel6149
    Those 7.3 power stroke diesels are the best diesel engines ever built. They have never let me down!
  • @TacoBear_Studios
    As a commercial driver who drove in a snow for three years, I can't imagine somebody that would do it for fun.
  • @cherylfisk7698
    Those snow plows are awesome. The fact they plow remote highways/roads is a testament to their commitmen to service. Even acknowledging it is their "job". Hats off to each and every snow plow driver!
  • @joanneshaw3071
    I’m a nurse from Australia 🇦🇺 and I’m loving your videos. Can’t believe how cold it is there. We’re in the middle of a heatwave and intense storms followed by flooding!
  • @PeuSHINIGA
    As a person which lives in a tropical country, see a dude cruisin around over the snow at 55mph on a 96 truck is completely nuts for me.
  • Some buddies and I did this drive a couple years ago. It was amazing. Watching this is so nostalgic. I seriously miss Alaska. The beauty, the people, the memories. Never should have left. Thanks for this incredible video.

    As a long haul trucker for the past 16 years, I’ve driven through all sorts of crazy weathers all 48 states and all over Canada. The most crazy ones were when I had to take 2 hours ferry rides from Mainland Canada to one of the Canadian islands in the northeast. As the ferry hit the iceberg I was on my knees praying.lol I’m no longer crossing into Canada but I still drive all over the 48 states. Watching your videos makes me think about what I went through when I was around Canada.

    Imagine driving a big rig in a blizzard in the middle of nowhere and thinking "How the heck am I smelling cookies here?"
  • Love the way the camper looks outside with the lit windows . Very inviting to be in during this winter weather.😊
  • @user-kr8bg1pz9f
    당신의 영상은 특별함이 있다. 겨울왕국을 보는것 같다. 감기 조심하고 , 항상 건강하게 당신의 인생을 즐기길 바란다. From : 한국에서 응원한다!!
  • @lreese03
    That truck needs to be put in the Ford Hall of Fame. I’m sure she has been places no other been in those conditions.
  • @ritawoodfork3086
    Your videos just make me want to bundle up with a nice warm meal, get cozy up - watch a film - take a nap and all of those types of things! Your camper just seems to have enough space - so special! Be safe and looking forward to more of your adventures!

    Pro tip from a Cajun bro, there’s a lot easier and fool proof way to make a roux and not burn it whilst constantly having to stir it. Once you’ve got it started on the stove top on med low heat, put it in the oven at 300 and stir well every 10-15 minutes until you get it to the color you’re looking for. Indirect heat is the secret.

    It’s rare I see a vehicle in van life vids where I stop and say “Woah. Now that. That is what I’d like to drive”. You got a sick ride dude!! 🤘🏼 Thanks for taking me on this adventure as I sit here fresh out of the hospital lucky to be alive as I started the new year with health scares. Anyway, it gets boring sitting around healing up. Thanks for keeping me entertained in wonder at places I’ll never see. Hats off to ya sir 🤙🏼
