After 8 Years of Travel Vlogging • THEY KILLED OUR CHANNEL
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2024
- We are Ben and Rebecca and since 2015 we have been travel vlogging on CZcams as Outliers Overland. In the winter of 2021 to 2022 something unknown happened to our channel and within 60 days views on our evergreen videos fell 75%. Over the next two years this caused a chain reaction leading to a dramatic decrease in views on our newly published videos and new videos not driving traffic to old videos spiraled to our channel to loosing 90% of monthly views.
We were left with no other choice but for Ben to stop editing videos for CZcams and put his editing skills to work as a freelancer.
We are survivors who will continue vlogging. We are making some changes to help insure the future of our channel.
----------
WE DO NOT RELY ON CZcams TO NOTIFY YOU OF OUR NEW VIDEOS!!!

I wondered what happened to you guys. You really did seem to disappear from my CZcams listings. I am glad you are back in the US and back on the screen. I enjoy seeing the world through your eyes but understand that you need some regular downtime, off-screen. Please do what is best for you. Your viewers completely understand. Have a lovely summer in the lower 48 hope you make it up here.
CZcams has a way of doing that. After fighting the decline for two years I had to pivot my efforts for earning a living.
Thank you for your concern and kind words.
I enjoy sharing the world.
Our house is in Alaska so we’re eventually going to get up there again. The idea of living in Seward’s rainforest doesn’t sound appealing. The other side of the peninsula gets a lot less rain, we are happy there, there’s more land and it’s cheaper.
The youtube algorithm just isnt a way for genuine storytelling. I am glad you will keep telling your story. If youtube decide to promote it, great, if not, it will be treasures for you to look back on for the rest of your life.
The world does not want authenticity but we will persevere. Great catching up yesterday.
It seems that CZcams pushes horrific thumbnails and titles even when I have no interest in that over and over again. Thank you for existing. I’m glad that by chance the CZcams algorithm suggested your channel to me. I hope that you continue and that CZcams realizes that some of us don’t want to be watch horrific videos.
It’s just like any other form of media. If it bleeds it leads and humans respond to it.
I’m playing the game differently from here on.
Hi Ben and Rebecca. We (Andy and Sherry and our 2010 Mitsubishi Fuso named Walter) will be at Overland Expo PNW and we would certainly enjoy meeting you in person. One of your earlier videos was very influential in our decision to go with the Fuso platform many years ago. We were at the PNW Expo 2 years ago and because our truck was torn apart and in the early stages of the build, we had to tent camp at the Expo out of our little Honda Fit. Fast forward 2 years later we are wrapping up our extensive journey of building our custom travel vehicle on the Fuso platform, selling our home and 99% of all our possessions and launching our new life of full-time nomadic travel. We just returned from an extensive backpacking excursion throughout SE Asia, so we get the fatigue of always being "on" while in a foreign country.
We will be in the showcase section of the show. Come by and say hi, let's share some stories together. Look for the big yellow truck that looks like Denny's cousin. 😊
Great to hear from you guys.
Congratulations on finished your build and the new chapter of life.
We will look for you guys or I’m pretty sure we’ll be the only 4Runner with Alaska plates.
Wonderful to see you again!!! Thanks for all of your videos!
Thank you very much for the kind words.
Have been watching you guys for several years - love you- looking forward to your next videos
Thanks for sticking with us for all these years.
I wondered what happened to you guys. Glad to see you back
It’s been a tough and interesting time. Thanks.
I was worried about you guys! So glad you're safe and glad to get updates. Been a sub for 6 years!
Thanks. We just needed a little time.
Glad to see you two back with a new video!! I don't rely on YT to tell me what's available, I go look for myself about once a week. I appreciate the work you put into your videos! Even if one only shows up every few months, I'll continue to check in. Best Wishes!!
Thank you so much. It’s good to be back.
I have missed your videos. It’s so good to see you both and Lucy. Welcome home to the states. Look forward to future videos.❤
Thank you. It’s good to be back.
I’ve enjoyed watching you over the years. Your channel is one of my Saturday morning routine before I get my day started.
My wife joined me in watching the UK portion of your trip.
You have a place to park up if you are in the Dallas area.
Thank you for hours and hours of GREAT content.
We enjoy morning CZcams sessions as well.
Thank you for the kind words.
I am so glad you put out this video. My wife and I have been watching for years and love your adventures. It had been so long that you had put out a video I went to your other sites to see if anything had happened to you two and Lucy. Hopefully you will keep posting videos. If you move to another platform, please let us know.
Sorry for not communicating better. We just had to talk away for a while and reevaluate our approach to CZcams.
I hope to have a handful of videos from the summer!
Thanks for being here.
Happy to see you posting vids again. You are always looking at life and travels positively, which is great. Too bad we missed you in France, also traveling in our Fuso 4x4 expedition vehicle. Safe travels from CZcams journeyman
Great to hear from you guys. You've been a great inspiration to us. Since your last video we've left Australia permanently and begun our retirement. In fact we're in Bad Kissingen attending Abanteur Allrad looking at our options for the time we spend in Europe. Hope to continue following your journeys and perhaps will bump into you at some stage.
Thank you for the kind words.
Congratulations!!!!
Hope you have a good weekend and find what you’re looking for.
Surely we’ll cross paths. I like having a home in Europe.
@@outliersoverland, at this stage we plan on the spending the shoulder seasons in the Balkins where we have a base and travel around Europe for four to five months of the year and spend the winters back in warmer climates. The prices have certainly skyrocketed since we first started thinking about what we wanted. The $100K USD truck build like you guys managed back in the day is now a pipe dream. We're opting for a truck camper which will be great for the amount time we will be on the road and also offer us a daily driver for the time we are not mobile.
It is so good to see y’all back. Maybe we will drop by the Expo in Redmond to see you guys!
Glad your back for summer! We are currently in WA moving on in about a week.
Thanks. It's good to be back.
If you can make it, look for a 4runner with a roof top tent.....
haha
(the one with Alaska plates)
Missed you guys welcome back home... Keep making video's but make a priority.. just live your life. I live in Gresham, Ore PNW
Hi Ben and Rebecca!!! Tami and I just watched this video and are happy that you will be in Central Oregon again. We are very much looking forward to seeing you two. It’s been too long. See you in a few weeks!
It will be great to see you guys again and we will keep in touch as we approach Bend.
Glad to see you guys again! Love keeping up with you (including Lucy!). Safe travels, take your time, focus on yourselves, and don't forget to stop to take a breath every now and then :)
Good to hear from you.
Thanks for sticking around for all these years.
We are working towards finding a balance in life.
I have learned of your channel based on the "bloody" thumbnail that popped up on my CZcams (+ I LOVE any Ireland content :)) and I love what I have seen so far. I am sad to see what is happening to your channel, you both seem like lovely people. Will be going back into your older videos to watch and will watch whatever you do in the future. :) Have a great day! Be safe.
Ive noticed over the years when you attain your goals is a success., and I’ve cherished the moments. But aside from got older I ask myself is it worth it? If not I don’t do it. If it’s a passion stay with it, it’s your reward in the end. So cheers to both of you wishing you both peace and content with extras in life you can cherish.
That’s one of my biggest challenges. You can’t truly be in the moment, if you’re trying to record the moment.
Wondered what happened to you guys, been watching y'all for years. Thanks for the update .
We had to walk away for a while and reevaluate our approach to CZcams.
Thanks for sticking with us for so long.
Life is for living guys. I love your work .PS We have lived on the road for 6 years now & before I started, I had 3 requirements. The motorhome had to be fully self-contained, & it is.😊
Life is definitely for living and that’s the approach we are taking.
I feel lost the last video I saw was you all in Mexico having bad experiences and I am so glad your back! Love Denise the 4 runner!
Wow. That was a long time ago!
I miss Baja.
Thanks. We thought Denise was a fitting name since Denny is in Europe.
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for coming back....wondered what happened
Thank you for your concern.
I look forward to renewing my approach to CZcams.
Glad to see you again, I love your authenticity! Keep us the great work, I really enjoy your videos. I regards to towing, I belong to a Vintage travel club and we have owned many old travel trailers. One was a 1964 24" Avion travel trailer that when fully loaded weighed 4100lbs.Had it's own Bathroom ;), a shower Rebecca could stand up in, but sorry Ben you could not ;( full kitchen. They are easy to remodel if needed. The older travel trailers are much better made, and weight is less. Just a thought for towing with your 4Runner.
Thank you. It’s nice to be back.
You are too kind. Thank you.
That sounds like a unique trailer.
We kind of like the GeoPro 19FBS for a turn key camper. A project would be fun but we need to find some balance.
Thanks for being here.
Wow, what a lovely video this one is! Thank you!
I even searched on google to find out what happened to you.... So, glad to see you again!
Thanks for checking on us.
Glad to be publishing a video again.
Thouroughly enjoyed your content..You brought me to Valdez a few years ago with my Sprinter Van..Hope to meet you at Expo NW in person..A fond fan..Thanks again for the years…
Thank you.
Hope to see you at expo.
This same this is happening to a lot of the tubers I follow. It will.all work out.
Welcome back to the States
Thanks.
Let’s keep in touch because we will be in northeast Oregon during your trip to Montana.
Thanks for the update! Like others, I had wondered and even searched to find out what happened to you guys. I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to your channel, but I look forward to watching whatever you post in the future! Safe travels and God bless you all!
Thanks for checking on us and still being here.
Good to see you back! Was wondering where you've been! So discouraging about what happened on CZcams hoping things will get back as before. Sometimes I get tired and discouraged about our channel, but then I remember that I am doing it for our own sakes, to remember our trips. Whatever comes with it is a plus.
Thanks for still being here.
We originally started videoing for memories and art, then it started earning an income which one gets accustomed to.
Now we are back to making videos just for sharing, not the algorithms.
Agreed, we wondered where y'all went - what a bummer. Meanwhile, continue to enjoy the good life and don't bother polishing your silver CZcams plaque!
Thanks. We are doing well.
No joke they could take it away.
lol
@@outliersoverland BTW, if you weren't aware, in today's Tube Filter email they highlighted the "Top 5" have all recently seen big growth in their views. But "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" who is tweaking the algorithms on suggested views, searches, etc! Now then, let's go outside and have a nice day...
Global Top 100: The richest channels on CZcams just got richer! Monthly roundup: May was one heck of a month for the most-watched channels on CZcams. Every single hub in the Top 5 enjoyed month-over-month viewership increases of 14% or more, while the sole U.S. representative-aka MrBeast-snagged an impressive 25% rise in views.
@CaliforniaTravelVideos it really is like a network marketing company ran by the Wizard of Oz.
I’m trickled to see that you’re back! I got a weird email canceling my subscription! I of course resubscribed. BTW, I own a 4-Runner and have for 11 years. I tell people that you’ll get tired of it before you wear it out. Live your lives! I’ll be here whenever you post something. I’ll track you down. Life’s way to short to stress yourself out! Oh, and lots of folks like their Winnebago EKKOs. They come in gasoline and diesel versions now. The down side is that you’d have to trailer Denise. Another option would be an Airstream Bambi or Caravel. I think the GVWR would fit.
Thanks Bill.
It’s good to hear from you.
Yes I cancelled our Memberships because I wasn’t posting and offering anything of value.
We love the 4Runner and that’s exactly why we bought it.
Right now we like the GeoPro 19FBS as it checks most of the boxes.
I've been checking your you tube channel at least twice a week for months. Wasn't sure what happened with you. Thought maybe you went back to Alaska. Nice to see you back.
Hello Shasta.
Thank you for your concern. You are too sweet.
Glad you’re back 🎉 can’t wait to see more videos… ty for sharing ✌️❤️🐶
It’s good to be back.
Thank you for still being here.
I keep looking to see if you have a video up even though I have notifications on. I feel like you are family and always look forward to your videos. Can’t wait to watch your summer unfold. Really interested in how will fit out your vehicle.
Thanks for still being here. We missed our CZcams family.
I always had to search out your channel for any videos even though I had the notifications on. CZcams doesn’t show me The Story TIl Now either. I’m just glad you’re okay. ❤
There has to be some element at play whether intentional or accidental on either side.
Ben, Rebecca, Nice to see you both. I loved catching up with what you are up to and where you are. Take care. Gigi
Great to hear from you as well.
I have been looking for you all and wondering where you were, . I am so happy to see that your well and Lucy is doing good. Welcome home. Welcome back .
Hello Shirley. Thanks for checking on us and still being here.
The change in the algorithm has been slow and steady but gradually over the last year the content being recommended has gone away from what I used to like. I went with it I guess and just realized right now as I saw this video that I wasn't watching videos that I used to and following channels like yours anymore.
Personal stories and good feeling channels just don't seem to get promoted anymore. All about the action and drama now. Glad to see you guys again. Blessings and good wishes for your future endeavors.
CZcams had definitely been changing it’s priorities over the past few years.
That happens to us as well.
I’m changing my mindset for creating videos. I’m going to start making them for us again.
Thanks for still being here.
I wondered what happened to you guys. You really did seem to disappear from my CZcams listings. I am glad you are back in the US and back on the screen. I enjoy seeing the world through your eyes but understand that you need some regular downtime, off-screen. Please do what is best for you. Your viewers completely understand. Have a lovely summer in the lower 48. My husband and I are going to Alaska for late summer and early fall. We are flying up and renting a truck camper instead of towing our Airstream all the way up and back.
I struggled to keep the channel alive but eventually had to redirect my efforts and that meant less videos.
Maybe it’s a blessing….time will tell.
Enjoy your time in Alaska. I miss that place sometimes.
Missed you.
You’re both looking very good.
Hi from Arizona but actually in Texas at the moment.
We missed our CZcams community as well.
Thanks.
Its a bugger being a slave to an algorithm. That said it seems to always show me your content, hope something clicks and makes it more worthwhile to put the time into YT. Cheers for the update, good to know you are doing good and playing the Schengen shuffle to your advantage. Look forward to the travel vids.
Bugger is too polite of a word for CZcams’s algorithms.
Thanks for still being here.
Thanks for the update! We have missed seeing you guys and were wondering what had happened. If you are looking for a well built TT not built in Elkhart, check out Taylor Coach. They are a small family owned trailer manufacturer in Canada. They build very few TT each year. They will make changes floorplans to accommodate your needs
You are welcome.
Thanks I’ll look into Taylor.
Right now the GeoPro 19FBS is the mass produced trailer we are leaning towards, if we do it.
So glad to see you guys, as Americans you can have 1 year in Albania, no visa requirements at all x
Hello Jayne. Good to hear from you. We are familiar with Albania and it's a tempting one.
Hope to cross paths again one of these days.
Wow, missed you guys! So great to get an update.
We missed our CZcams community as well. Thank you.
Thx Ben, Rebeca and Lucy for an informative and entertaining video of your world travels. Long time Sub look forward to further videos.
You are welcome Bill.
Thanks for still being here.
Great to see you three looking safe, healthy, rested, and happy. 😊
Thank you. It’s good to be back.
There are a lot of channels that have had problems over the last couple years. I hope you get your dream with making the movie. Lucy is still adorable. Stay safe and healthy.
I think it’s a blessing as disguise but time will tell.
Thanks for being here for all these years.
glad your alive and well and happy. you not the only youtuber to feel burn out or feel the need to change things up for what ever reason. enjoy your summer, go slow, smell the flowers. happy safe travels. ps. spoil that dog with love and treats. lol
Thank you very much. We hope to accomplish all those things this summer.
Ahhhh, it’s good to see y’all back. Was getting worried you had donned berets, started plein air painting, sipping wine and settled in a chateau never to be found again lol. Lucy is such a doll.
Have heard of others with the same YT screwups, like having a big brother from another mother! Enjoy the time in the PNW, I’m sure there will be so many friends to catch up with. Cheers 🍻
That life doesn’t sound horrible.
lol
Thanks for still being here.
Good to see you both again, and happy to see you looking healthy and happy.
Thank you for still being here.
Good to see you again. Enjoy the break here in the USA.
Thank you. It's nice to be back.
We are looking forward to continued explorations of our country.
I'd noticed the lack of uploads, glad to see you back.
Sorry about that. I had to redirect my efforts to ear a living.
Thanks for still being here.
Well the pacific northwest is a little far for me to go from Michigan I wish you guys all the best in your domestic travels. I was wondering what happened to you guys. CZcams is a funny site sometimes. Glad to see you back and keep the good stuff coming and give Lucia a pat on the head and a treat for me. P.S. If you get around Michigan let me know.
Hello Johnny.
Good to hear from you and we’d love to explore Michigan.
One day we might even do the great loop.
Missed you! Happy to see you back!❤
Thank you.
It's good to be back.
was wondering what happened... but kind of guessed. I know a few youtubers have started to migrate to protect their views like Traveling Robert. You can create an automatic backup of your channel by connecting it on Odysee, that way you don't loose all the work you put in. Welcome back.
Real life has a way of happening.
That’s interesting. We back up all our raw footage and finished videos to the cloud as insurance.
You both are doing fine, 8-10 years ago there was way fewer CZcamsrs creating content and also less subscription services for people to watch. It is definitely harder now to get views and subscribers, I have seen that most popular channels only get views from 10-20% of however many total subscribers they have. Keep doing what makes you happy and you will be winning :) 😀
Thanks. We will continue to stay true to ourselves.
I do feel like we are outdated or past our CZcams prime.
Thanks for the update ...I was wondering....Time to think of a Great Loop trip.....maybe!!
You’re welcome Mark. Thanks for still being here.
You are on to something because that’s what we are talking about for a future adventure.
Thanks for the update. Good to see you again.
Thank you Pam.
I have been wondering what happened to you! You're one of my favourite channels and I purposely go to your channel on occasion when I realize that I haven't seen your videos in a while. Then I'm very sad when I see the last video was 4 months ago! Please post! I will watch!
Thank you for your concern and kind words.
I look forward to my renewed approach to CZcams.
Oh, I spoke to the guy from Rolling Turtles a while back, about storing the RV there, while taking a trip through the Greek islands.
He was really nice and very helpful!
We’d like to see a couple Greek islands and ferry to Turkey one of these days.
I believe it. I heard other channels had problems too. They dont like the truth being shared.
So happy to see y'all back.
Miss watching both of you and the dog. I'm in Calif. Thanks for the update. Don
Thanks Don. Lucy sure is a special pup.
Great to see your channel again, I lost track. Curious why wouldn't you opt for a larger campervan, like a 159in WB Promaster? No need for towing, and less space to store at a friend's place or storage facility. It can go anywhere a 4-runner and trailer can go, perhaps more with the ability to turn around and park in cities. Anyway, we have gone this route with a 136in WB Promaster to give us a "home" while in the States for 1/3rd of our nomadic year. GL to you!
It’s good to be back.
After living in Denny’s 13’ habit for so many years we would like something more spacious.
The GeoPro 19fbs looks promising for a mass production trailer.
We also love the capabilities of the 4Runner to get to more remote locations. After traveling Europe I have discovered what’s really special about America. It’s the wide open vast expanses of nature west of the Rockies.
If we have a roof top tent and travel trailer we could go remote camping in a lot of places and return to a comfortable trailer after a few days.
@@outliersoverland Yup, if you value space and remote locations, I suppose a truck/trailer would work best. We intend to spend 50% of our USA time in big cities and driveway surfing with friends and 50% remote, thus the small van. GL!
You guys are hilarious. I mean, you share all the good and the bad but your senses of humor! I had wondered why your views were dropping so quickly. It sounds like you have a plan that will work well for you. Until it doesn’t lol. As to your trailer situation, I get the needing your own bathroom, including a shower. It’s the 39:56 regular Queen that’s going to be an issue in something that small and light. You’ll def need a north south, not an east west and that’s where the extra length is an issue. Good luck! And so glad you updated us. I check your channel regularly. Back when you were on your original channel CZcams dropped you from my subscription list. So I know to check!
We might have kindred spirits!
Thanks for still being here.
Rebecca you look beautiful! Ben and Lucy, too!
Glad to see a video from you guys! Now I will watch to see what you all have been up to! Missed you guys! 🥰🥰🥰
You are too kind. Thank you.
Thanks for still being here.
I watched you regularly for years and then you disappeared. I saved these videos because I got very sick. Catching up is interesting. I will try to keep up. Take care of yourselves and your fur baby.
Found you again today through YT recommendations, I have two channels and I know I subscribed to your channel (at least 3 years ago, even left a few comments) with one of my channels.
I looked it up (five minutes ago before writing this comment) if I am still a subscriber, turns out I am no longer a subscriber! How the F is that possible? Whats going on with YT?
YT is totally messed up these days and the crazy amount of ads makes it way worse.
Anyway, have a nice weekend.
Cheers from Rhineland-Palantine, Germany
Nik
Currently binge-watching your vids.....
It’s crazy how CZcams works.
Thanks for still being here.
We drove through Germany last October!
@@outliersoverland
"We drove through Germany last October! "
I would have helped you to navigate trough our Country if I would have known.
Any plans coming back to europe.
On a different note: Have you considerd going to a orthomolekular doctor in order to get rid of your Tyroidproblems?
@@nikleiser5888 Thanks for the offer.
Since Denny is stored outside of Paris it will definitely be after the Olympics.
I will ask Rebecca about that. Thanks.
I can almost guarantee we will be in Germany again.
American youtubers in your area .. keep. Eyes open for snow n curt😊😊😊😊😊😊
Hello Anthony.
Yes. We have chatted and hopefully will cross paths one day.
Wow ..found you guys again. Thank you for your post.
It's great to hear from you.
Hope all is well.
So glad to see you.
Thanks. It’s good to be back.
I still want to follow you guys. I have seen on CZcams where some of the channels I follow don't show up when they have new videos.
Thanks for still being here Larry.
as far a a great small camper....have you looked into the casita? i owned one for over a decade and was able to sell it for one thousand over purchase price new. the liberty would allow for a 60x80 queen bed configuration and its the model i had. good luck and safe travels!
Thanks. I like Casitas. We’ll look into the Liberty. Thanks.
Hey from San Antonio Tx. I’ve missed you
Hello from Kansas! Hope all is well.
Hi Ben Rebecca and Lucy nice video I love the captions you put up for Lucy very funny
Hi Mike,
Glad you liked the video.
All the best to you and Sylvia.
cool its nice seeing you agein , i will be in columbia next week 😎😎 how do you find the osmo 3 ? did the microphone from the 2 work on the three ? thanks andy
Congratulations.
The mic from the pocket 2 is not interchangeable but I’ve *heard the DJI Mic 2 is compatible and can have two microphones.
Thanks 😁
Welcome back
Thank you.
I have found on a lot of the channels I watch I was suddenly unsubscribed . I have had to resubscibe multiple times. I have no ideal why CZcams keeps doing it. Maybe that is what happened to most of your subscribers as I had to resubscribed to you. I enjoy your videos and have missed you guys.
It's a shame when it involves someones livelihood.
Thank you for being here.
I personally have loved all your videos. I’m so sorry CZcams has been a pain in the butt!
You are too kind Kim.
Thanks for being here for all these years.
I am with you. Who wants to take a duce at a Loves truckstop...
Potential follower here . Why do you think CZcams dropped your channel ???
They are making creators pay to have their CH advertised in front of eyeballs.
There’s two things I’m highly suspect of.
One is the fact that we changed our travels from America to Europe.
The other I just can not mention, but if you go to settings on your Studio app you’ll see something that could have happened.
WELCOME BACK!
Thanks.
It's been at least two years since you showed up on my feed? Today you popped up out of nowhere?
That is crazy.
On the positive side you have a lot of videos to catch up on.
lol
Try the Little Guy Max Rough Rider. Though the bed is a climb over.
That’s a nice one but I feel you loose storage and space with the teardrop effect.
Thanks for being here.
Rooting for you guys!
Thanks. We are survivors.
glad to see you back
Thanks. Good to be back.
Watching from South Australia, wondering what happened to you
Hello Wendy.
Thank you for your concern.
Changes have taken place but we have been doing well.
Then again, change is the only constant.
Glad y'all are okay , talk to Kevin from Lifestyle overland about anything 4runner overlanding . CZcams needs at least 1 vlog a week 12 min+ every week for a while to get you back on track ( could make content and edit and que maybe 6 vlogs then you could probably take 2 weeks off filming every now and then ).
Thanks. Right now I think life is better spent trying to please ourselves instead of an algorithm.
Also was wondering what happened to you guys. Lot is changing a lot of work and seems like very little reward. I have my ticket for expo pnw. Did the original 11 years ago. Looking for affordable inspiration for my sprinter 😂. Will definitely look for you there!
Yup, change is the only constant.
We’ll see you at PNW!
Look for the white 4Runner with Alaska plates.
I was able to tow a 22 by ft Winnebego all over the US with a Dodĝe Durango (2013) that had a tow capacity. Had full bath! Good size fridge, queen bed, I'm thinking of selling the DODGE as it's a bit too big for my needs now _ only 78 000 miles, in very good condition if you!re interested. Have fun and relax a bit as you re-group.
Tow capacity of 6200 lbs😊
That sounds like a nice set up.
We are looking at the GeoPro 19FBS.
Several channels i sub to & watch regularly have disappeared from my feed ... including yours.. and i get a whole load of vids im not interested in. You. both look relaxed and happy.
The algorithms do not make sense sometimes.
LUCY 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🎊🎉🎊🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈😍😍😍😍😍😍
i noticed you rent cars and, it looks as if you rent in one location and return to another. i have needed to do the same but, when i check into it the cost is prohibited. is there a secret to it i am not aware of? should i call the rental agency instead of trying to book online?
The additional costs are unavoidable.
We could fly on to Wichita but that’s more time for travel time for Lucy so we rent cars.
Will you guys ever come back to Ireland again
Definitely! Ireland is my favorite country for camping so far in our travels.
Good to see you back. To be honest, I lost interest when you went to Europe. Liked your travels here and in Mexico but wasn't interested in Europe.
Thank you Cynthia.
No worries, it’s just human nature. We are the same way in our viewing tastes.
Good to hear from you.
That being said, if you ever want to see us get in above our heads, the Europe videos would be great. Oh the messes we stumbled into, but there were some mind blowing experiences.
Thanks!
You are too kind Dennis. Thank you.
Keep up the good work
Thanks. Will keep trying.
I thought you guys disappeared this is the first video in a year that showed up in my list
I definitely haven’t published much in the past year but there have been a few videos.
