The Awesome thing about Matthew and Stacey is that their content continuously gets better in every way. The videography, audio, drone shots, everything keeps improving. Fantastic storytelling mixed with awesome footage. 1M subscribers when? Q3 2024 is my prediction. Let's go!
Let's goo!! Thank you the prediction, we can only assume it's accuracy 🍻🤘🏻
You are absolutely right. A new fave for us.
Who knew Mexico would be so amazingly beautiful. And that it's still so untamed that I am brought back 2 childhood memories of camping with the butterflies. This has become my destiny.
This video and the one that proceeded it should have a million views. This is story telling brought to a new unknown level.
We appreciate it🙏🏼
New subscriber here! You have shown a completely different side to Mexico that no one else seems to venture to. I'm blown away by the waterfalls and the way you are documenting your journey. I look forward to catching up on all the vlogs. Safe travels guys!
Welcome aboard! Glad you found us.
That my friends is not just a "unit", It is a "fine unit" at that! Those waterfalls are just ridiculous. Stay safe.
BEST LINE EVER!!! “You’re Canadian is showing” hahahaha!! Love it! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Hi Matthew, I am new to your channel and love the concept of the journey and how you chose to do it. Not as a race but as an expedition of discovery.
You seem to have many of the advantages that would “give you an edge” with this endeavor: A hands-on knowledge of your vehicle, skill with tools and video, and having the foresight to take along a drone, and having a little knowledge of Spanish.
However, I think your greatest help in making this a successful trip is the cheerful and smiling attitude of both you and Stacey.
And what a partner she is. Drone pilot, relief driver, gate opener etc. etc. Never grumpy, (at least not on camera) Not a picky eater and will try anything.
As you can tell, I have fallen in love with Stacey... . . but not to worry,, you are prettier than me, and I am 88 year of age and my wife and I have been happily married 69 years. 😊)
Long may you adventures continue.
Another masterpiece. I feel like I’m actually there when I watch these.
Livin the dream! Stay safe, stay thirsty my friends.
Thanks for the sweet words about Stacey. Life’s journey is about the people you travel with. Thanks for the great jungle footage. Growing up in San Diego and traveling in Baja, it is far different than the desert i know.
Credits to where they’re deserved! We too were getting very used to the desert lifestyle. The jungle was such an incredible surprise
Those waterfalls are truly spectacular. Thank you for sharing.
They truly were! We can't wait to go back one day.
toyota world runners upload notifications are my favorite notifications to receive!!! that means that evening, ill sit back and relax for half an hour and let all the days problems melt away while i enjoy a great story and scenery 😍🙂👌
Now that's what we like to hear!! 😄
The 21 min mark had me in stitches 😂😂😂 Mrs frizzle the fan 😂😂
She is a weapon!
can i make one suggestion? when you are talking about the places your going to or are arriving at, is there any way to show that on a map or something? i dont know how much of a pain that is to edit but it would give a good scale of how far you are traveling in one episode... just an idea lol.
love the videos! you two are amazing! I can't wait for the next one :)
ioverland
Not much else to say other than thank you.
Each video I find myself thinking I need to go the this place they are leading me to.
Thank You
We’re so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Everyone's rooting for you guys!
We love to hear it!!
México es alegría y color ❤
Talk about the intro! That's amazing! Y'all nailed it!
Awesome guys, keep posting the locations and roads your taking I enjoy looking at the map and following along 🙂 hello from Saskatchewan
Thank you for showing the beauty of the Huasteca Potosina. Great place to visit. I’ve been there twice.
It's a treasure!
😁😁😁😁😁🍻🍻🍻🍻 that was fun. Cheers, my friends, and safe journeys to you 🇺🇲🇨🇦
Lols "Tu necesito..." You're mixing your conjugations! As someone who has barely been anywhere outside the US, I really appreciate being able to experience travel vicariously through you guys. What you are producing is really special and of high quality. Stacy, you're an amazing writer!
Thank you for being here with us, and for the compliment, she sure is!
1 in a million for sure!!!! You both are very lucky people to have each other and share this lifestyle together! I swear just about everyone thinks I'm bat shit crazy for all my ideas and plans! Soon very soon my puppy and I will be doing just about the same. My dreams have started small and now they have also started to get kinda crazy I can't deny.
Omg y'all, two are funny😅 videos are getting better every time. Keep it up, Stacy. Matt, I spit my coffee out😅 The waterfall was epic. 👍😃👍
Glad to spread some laughter and inspiration!
So hard to describe the beautiful places that you are spending time at❤❤❤❤
Even the doggies are really nice !!
You guys have really become one of my favorite channels.
Honoured! 🙏🏻🤙🏻
Next time you make salsa throw in a shot or two of tequila
Hold my.. chips!
How does this channel not have millions of views and way more subscribers is mind blowing I love these videos and have to cool fellow bcers is the best keep it up you two are soo awesome 😎
We’re wondering as well! Haha, thanks for watching from home!!
Beautiful shots of the waterfall! Thought there seems to be quite a difference in volume levels between narration, the camera mic and music. I find myself having to constantly max out the volume to hear narration then quickly turn it down so the music doesn't blow my speakers...not sure if that's an adjustment that could be made while editing. Thanks guys, awesome adventure!!
Wow! Each episode is getting more and more epic! Freakin' amazing adventure.
Cheers from the Northeastern Rockies of your home province. Love me some waterfalls & this was epic footage. Thanks for your hard work, safe travels! 🥾🏔🇨🇦❤️
Thank you so much for watching from our beautiful home!
Wow, every episode is getting better, I did not realize how extreme the terrain is down there in central Mexico, I found your channel while following Eva Zu Beck and Next Meridian, I hope to do this trip within the next 5 years. Your Toyota Motor home is one of the coolest 4x4 rigs I have seen. It is worthy of being in the Toyota Booth at SEMA show when you get back. Good luck. Gary from Alberta Canada.
What a compliment! Sunday would love to be in that booth 💪🏼 thank you so much for watching!
I think this is my favourite waterfall or maybe it’s the next one. Time will tell
Y'all are killing it! Amazing!
That dog at the end that was the show stopper i would take him with me so sweet
We were seconds from taking him with us!
Man... these videos are so good and your truck is so bad ass. Amazing how quiet and peaceful those camp spots were.
Thank you! It's an incredible region of Mexico.
Another “Epic”adventure.As usual “Loved it”.Really feel like we’re there!P.S.Found that special person 29 yrs ago and still exploring the world!🤘(Took the the quad to Rowbotham last weekend)🎣🥰
Oh man, Robotham is probably beautiful around now! Jealous!
I'm number 1!
I'm number 101!
🌩️✌️🌵🌴all part of the fun! 🌩️Safe travels...📸
Can't believe you guys went to the same mountains which my parents grew up ,the state of Queretaro at the end.
Great video you two! Getting better every episode! Have a great trip.
'Love you guys! I can't stop sharing your channel w my friends, they must think I'm so annoying lol
The best kind of annoying I'm sure!
Hey guyz, love following along on your adventures. Mexico suits you both so well. I absolutely drool over your Chinook ! Eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Cheers from Michigan's Upper Peninsula! "Superior Overland"
Hey there! Thank you so much for watching. We drool too sometimes 🫡
Two new subscribers here. Great job both of you as couple. I'm pretty inspired by your explolaration and adventure. Keep up the good work. 👍. Saludos desde San Diego Ca.
Welcome! And thanks for the compliment, we’re happy you enjoyed the video!
For the salsa next time, boil the tomatoes and peppers whole until they are tender and the tomato skin starts to split🤙🏼
I love it... just wish the video were not shot in vintage mode (dark). I would love to see one video in bright colors!
Epic adventure in a beautiful country
Thanks for sharing.
Insanity man, y’all are living one of my biggest dream! Insane videos! Keep it up
Thank you, we will!
Ohhh! For the tomatoes and chilies, heat them on the stove where they burn a little on the outside to make that flavor pop
Noted!
Simply wonderful as always❤❤❤
Beautiful waterfall!
Have you noticed whether fuel is mostly gasoline or is there also low sulfur diesel suitable for late model engines running DEF?
I always hear gas is the way to go with overlanding south of the US border.
Enjoying your travels. Stay Safe!
I always love your beer reviews!
So good ! Another awesome video guys, we were pretty stoked on the waterfalls we saw along the Pacific marine Hwy but I guess now we have to go to Mexico ...😅🤣 Cheers !
They all have their place on the inspo list 🤙🏻 Thanks for watching!
Amazing
I've been thinking about moving to Argentina (one way trip) with the Mrs and doing this for over a year. Been watching a ton of overlanding content etc and this series will be perfect. I'm from Vancouver so pretty much the same starting point. Amazing trip and content. looking forward to the rest. Congrats!
Contemplatively sublime!
You drone shots are amazing 🙂
Thank you 🙌
Awesome guys, this region is on my list for sure, so glad you got there.
It has surprised us in the best of ways!
Seems like you’re steering clear or Michoacán and Guerrero, good move, vayan con Dios ❤
Another great video. Off the path adventures. The green vast country of Mexico is no doubt something to be hold. Changed my view on Mexico, also thought it was nothing but beaches. Safe travels itching for next video.
Thanks for watching, Ray! We can’t believe the surprises around every corner
Good evening from the still warmer than usual south Okanagan, thanks once more for the ride along. You're right about the greenness reminding me of the Island for sure. Another fine job of editing, filming and music choice. Safe travels you two.
It's a truly unpredictable and awesome landscape here. Don't get too warm up there! 🔥
@@ToyotaWorldRunners Well funny you should mention it - as we just got a couple inches of rain as well as hail...
We shall see in the morning what is left of the garden!
Thank you for bringing us with you and inspiring others to travel
That is our aim 🙏🏻
You are doing it right
Would love to someday imitate ur build and go to el paraíso in El Salvador 🇸🇻
I recommend you to go to Huichihuayan, it is near Xilitla, there is a source of a river 🏞️👌
What an awesome adventure!
You're content makes us feel so much like we are there with you - almost felt I had to go out and show Jade and Beau what your're up to - they're feeling a little lonely here ☺ Loving the videos and the Blog As always you two - much love ❤
Feel free to drive them out and meet us!!!
How tf do you only have 31k that is absurd, incredible content
Please feel free to contact CZcams Admin and report the absurdity!
Mucholada! LOL😄. It is Michelada (you had been saying that since Baja 😂) and please, please ditch the Tecate. The best Micheladas are with Pacifico, Corona or Dos XX. Salud! Thanks for sharing
😂😂 we learned!
With every week i am enjoying your trip and adventures more and more
TECATE!! Nice❤️🔥
The waterfall at 11:26 is my favorite waterfall . Your journey makes me want to clean out this crappy desk..i'm at , tell my boss.."I'm outa da game". Hop into my 2001 Mit Monty GEN 3 that's in the parking lot, "not doing its job" and join ya'll. But my EX-Wife will never have that LOL. Stay safe and Greetings from Austin ,Texas.
That a fine choice! You'll find your adventure soon, Jack. We're sure of it!
That video was amazing! I definitely liked and subscribed, I can't wait to see more. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for being here!
WOW! Thank guys for sharing with us. Mexico is very beautiful in so many ways, sometimes you have to get off the main paths to see it. One trip is hardly enough so I can feel a part 2 sometime in the future....Also, the street hustle is always the same, there, here in the states and abroad. But hey, all of us have stories to tell for ever after the adventure so enjoy yours.
From what we've seen here in MX it's easy to believe we'll be back many more times!
Magnificent views!
Safe travels and thanks for sharing 👍
Wow this is amazing ❤
watching your video scene blue pickup truck for stacey
I love seeing how vulnerable you two are after preparing for this and how you are adapting. You are showcasing it authentically and adapting and growing. This experience will change you forever and I'm so eternally grateful you are sharing this. Your drone shots are the best I've seen. I came here for the Toyota and the beer reviews. When you get back, I got a beer for you. (And an adventure!)
"como se dese a f^©∆ Yeah?"
Thank you for seeing it as it is! That's exactly what we aim to portray. There's no perfect roads, but it all write a good story and we'll be here to tell it.
We're in for the brews!
@@ToyotaWorldRunners margarita reviews?
Mind blown. Throughly impressed! Smiles per gallon none the less but Im curious of throughout this portion of the adventure?
Another incredible video, the vibrant colors of the area are breath-taking on video and I can only imagine what they are like in person. As you were riding through the backcountry, I found myself in awe of the courage it must take to do what you guys are doing. To be isolated in a foreign land with only a smattering of their language must be both frightening and exhilarating at the same time.
Matt's comment about finding and holding onto the right person is so true. I found mine (actually, she found me) almost thirty years ago and I couldn't imagine this life without her. Stacy seems to have a great Joie de vivre (if I might use French in a Mexican location) that just seems to spill out of her at times. Her joy seems as if it would be contagious and lighten the mood of everyone near her.
The part of Mexico that you guys are showing us is something I never knew of. Like many, I think of endless deserts instead of the beautiful mountains. Choosing a favorite waterfall would be like choosing a favorite flower or snowflake as they are all beautiful in their own way. Why so many people leave this enchanted land to come to America and live in slums is beyond me. I guess we all have our dreams of a better life.
Thank you as always for being here, Phil! We wish we could translate the actual colours for you but I don't think you'd believe your eyes!
We feel so grateful to be travelling in a part of Mexico most travellers don't go. There's truly a surprise around every corner. And the authenticity and generosity of the Mexican people is real and felt.
! Inspired
True love is so beautiful fom Jamaica 🇯🇲 I love your video very good job you guys my name lurchboy say hi
Thank you!
8 pesos? I remember when I was a kid (late 90s eeeeearly 2k) they would charge 2 pesos to use the restroom. I haven’t been back to Mexico in 10 years. I’m from the state of Hidalgo.
be prepare for flooding areas, be careful
This is just awesome!!!! When do you plan to do an update about the Falken Wildpeak R/T tires you put on? They are one of my choices I'm narrowing down to.
Very very soon!
Why in the hell!!!!!haven’t you guys ate any Mamey Sapote????
You could be living off Mamey Sapote and making smoothies ❤❤❤
😎😎😎
We just bought some today and will report back
@@ToyotaWorldRunners make sure it’s very soft and ripe! Most people make it into smoothies. It’s very expensive in the USA, if you can find it.
What about gas? How much fuel dose your Toyota carry?
Amazing 👏 video BTW
My wife & I love the show
Stay blessed
We have a 160L fuel tank (42 gallons ) thank you so much for watching!
You are very close off misión de bucarelli. Go down. And enjoy there iS de jabalí camping
I'm in Queretaro, very close to you. Tell me if you need some help.
Do not go without visit Puente de Dios y el Chuveje. I am sure you already visit Bucareli
Thank you!
G day eh
Que caro 8 pesos por el baño, lo normal son 5 😮😂 suerte ✌️
Well nice yes but where the heck are you?
Are y'all going to go to Belize?
Yes.
Hello! You are handsome!
Which Tropical storm was it? Was this 2022?
Cinco De Mayo 2023.
where on the map are you in mexico
Put a shot of vodka in your ear and leave it for like 30 seconds it will help it out
And once again, Amazing Editing and amazing views! Why would they leave?
Things that wouldn't be legal in Canada..or the US. ......Almost everything.
Could be a whole movie!
I'd like to slap you against your head talking about Stacey not having an equal role in this build/ownership of this vehicle. You might not have meant it that way but its clear she is co-owner of that truck. I've a couple of brews, but it just came off way wrong. You know you wouldn't be where you are, without her.
Maybe your interpretation is off. There is a distinct yin-yang that works with a couple. It's symbiosis. Forget the woke perception that skews the beauty of roles embraced, appreciated and understood. There isn't an i'm smarter or better, just an appreciation of the back and forth energy that both know is right and makes it all work. His comments were an acknowledgement of that reality.
@@brulew976 I agree.
You gravely misunderstood what Matthew was referring to.
