This should have 5 million views plus and be viral. Put this on Netflix. You guys are so awesome. Appreciate the extreme conditions you went through. To combine the best technology, remote wilderness and your will power is phenomenal. I want one of those Toyota trucks! Thanks to my 3 brothers I grew up to be a tough girl who travels solo in the wilderness of the great north woods. Bravo and Encore!
100% agree with pitching a netflix show
Agreed
Can't wait to see you tackle SOUTH AMERICA!
Kombilife. You overlanded from Chile to Alaska in a VW bus!! You are a true adventure Cowboy!
Thanks Kombi Life for recommending these guys! can't wait to watch the rest of this series - awesome stuff!
seriously! lets see it already haha.
Even though this is 4 years old now, it is just as amazing and inspiring as your new content. Hats off to you guys
Once again, you have shown that you are the best. Great video, great crew and excellent Expedition! Bravo to all!!
Greetings from Slovenia ;)
Watched all three in one day. now I am all tuckered out from watching them cut all those trees. I had to take threes breaks, now I am going to toast a beer to you guys and rest some more. Glad everyone made it out safe. You could see the fatigue and minor mistakes setting in at the end, till the recon team made contact.
It is a shame, one good storm and it will be blocked for the next crew.
Finally got around to watching the whole series... damn, these just get better and better.
Your videos are the reason I have gotten into overlanding. This is a GREAT adventure. Thank you for sharing
I truly love the Expedition Overland series of movies. They bring up a valid fuel consumption issue in these episodes. For offroad travel, I recommend diesel as the best milage with slow going. I own a Hummer H1 with a diesel and it sips fuel when offroad.... not so much on the highway however, it was not designed to be a road queen.
Great Series this time around. I couldn't help but miss my Dad while watching these episodes and remember my time as a kid going through rivers and camping in the Allagash Wilderness, in Northern Maine.
Well you did not give up. you came back 3 years later, to finish the Job. that shows strength. Thanks.
Watching this during my work break...Im ready to call in sick for a few days and head out for some adventure! Thank you, guys for sharing and absolutely inspiring folks to get out and explore. Good stuff!
All 3 in one go , could not wait ...Awesome trip.... and Guys,. Thanks for letting me join in on your MacKenzie adventure .... looking so much forward to witness the next - Stay Safe
Great adventure. Loved watching the team work and vehicles. Thanks to the entire crew for not cursing. I was able to let my kids watch without worry. Thanks again and God bless.
Adventuring with like-minded friends is the best Life can offer...IMO.
I can't stop watching these guys. What a great bunch of buddies they are. I lived in Northern Alberta for almost 30 years so I really enjoy these videos. Nice job guys ! ( From Calgary Alberta )
I kept checking back to see what was next. I knew you gentlemen would not disappoint. Great job, great adventure! I always say if you can inspire even one person, you have lived a purposeful life. Thank you gentlemen can't wait for the next adventure!!
Great journey for and us on CZcams. I especially liked the drone footage. Thank you for the adventure.
No cursing no drama what a heck of a Expedition you guys went through utmost respect for all of you guys that was one great video I had no idea these vehicles were that capable of doing that extreme Expedition,WOW👍👍
I keep up with 4 other overlanding groups on youtube. You guys are by far the best. I love how calculated and prepared you all are and the team work is ridiculous. I've watched every video you have uploaded on youtube and get stupid excited when you post these big episodes. Especially this one, because it's 3 at once! keep up the great work!
Guys, again!!! Wonderful series... Every night I come home to my LR3, outfitted, ready for adventure, but its that overall cost that keeps it planted for local expeditions only. I, as well as the others on here, envy the "second chance" you have been able to take. We also admire the fact that you are not squandering it; instead sharing it with the rest of us.
Incredible production quality - from the camera work to the naration - this is better TV then whats on TV. I love your channel and I hope you guys keep on exploring!
Anybody else find themselves swating at flies that aren't there when you hear the Mosquitoes buzzing around the mic :P
Yes and I noticed my son doing the same thing.
Haha! Totally!
i was searching for this comment LOL
Is it wrong that I watched all 3 episodes in one sitting?
I did too
it was the only way to watch it.
It would be wrong if you didn't!
Same here...while at work...
lol that's what I did. Not wrong at all!
Great episodes guys, and this was a true return to form after what was (for me) a somewhat lackluster season two. This took me back, reminding me very much of the first season, and getting me excited for things to come.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Way to go guys. Thanks for the hard work to share the story with us.
Good on you guys! It takes a special courage to conquer previously unattainable goals. I particularly enjoyed the camaraderie and character evolution of the previous seasons. For this one, everyone had to roll up their sleeves and tough it out. I'm looking forward to your next detour!
thanks for sharing. I've hiked this trail years ago with and have wanted to go back with horses but the idea of the windfall has always prevented that. After watching this we may be heading back in the 2017 season, thank you for all the amazing hard work, hopefully more outdoor enthusiasts will follow and we can keep this trail open. I know we'll be riding with a pack horse and a chainsaw.
That was as good as a National Geographic Special. I watched all three like a movie. Good job.
Love the show and as a drone pilot I've really enjoyed watching the pilot(s) progress from first episodes...great camera work and even better wheeling...congrats to the whole crew and the support family behind them...This has totally inspired my wife and I to go out and pound some trails - Both my wife and I love watching all the videos, please keep them coming...until next time stay safe
Glad to se you all "made it out of the woods". :) fantastic work!
I was stationed in Alaska in the 80's and 90's and we spent a lot of time on bombing ranges along the Brooks Range in terrain similar to this. I'm amazed at what those Toyotas can do. So many times during this series when one of the vehicles' nose would start to go down in the bog I would cringe thinking there's no way that truck is making it through that. We lost a Gamma Goat to the Alaskan tundra once, that mud is no joke. Excellent series, I'm enjoying catching up working my way backwards. Alaska is next.
Congratulations, gentleman! Amazing work! You're adventures aspire me to be greater and get out there!
fantastic!! glad you guys stuck it out and finished.. now, get some real mud tires and come on over to the east coast in the late spring!
I truly hope your expedition in South America has been excellent. Hopefully everyone is safe and sound, either in SA or back Stateside.
You are all an exceptional team of explorers.
Well done EX-O, definitely a ruthless looking trail but you guys killed it with only small drama. Kudos!
Awesomeness.. Love the northland. Glad you all returned and conquered.
3 straight...nice trip dudes.... respect!!!
Amazing journey, determination, and teamwork!!! I'm also amazed on what those Toyota vehicles were capable of!!!!
Really great show guys. So nice to see outdoor shows where no one if fighting but instead working as a team.
Awesome that you guys went and did that. All that cutting and winching was tasking for you buy well worth the journey. Watched it in one sitting.
XO is the reason I've built my 5th gen t4r. Now, if I had a discount code for the x3;I'd be in heaven!
So I watched this when it first came out, but for the morale part what you have to remember is that you're re-forging the Mackenzie trail. You're mapping it, you're clearing it, you're remaking it as you go. Time and fuel aside, you're making it more accessible and more usable for those that come behind you.
With popularity comes better maintenance, even if that's for no other reason than there are others following in your footsteps. I just hope that those after you observer the same precautions and diligence as you do.
I hate seeing you guys adventures come to an end, i realize there are time constraints and so fourth, just hate to watch the last episode. Cant wait for the next adventure, really looking forward to another Central America type trip. Once again, great job, pleasure watching you guys work.
Good teamwork ... good team spirit ... and mainly done with soul and heart, and already good equipment is deep mental for everything to work, remain on the good path are the wishes of a companion from Portugal, big hug For team.
Nice work guys.
As someone BC born and bred, it's nice to hear you got the correct pronunciation of Quesnel figured out.
Outstanding guys. Epic trip. That was hard!. No snorkels worked, but I ask why not? Thank you for sharing this adventure.
Thanks for sharing this amazing adventure!
I am very impressed with the maturity and devotion to team. It was fun to watch how the team was strongest when all together as one. Nice job Clay in keeping a cool enough head to hear other ideas from the team in a moment when the consequences of each decision were all critical. It was clear that each member of the team was working to maintain productive dispositions. This was an excellent example of team dynamic working for the team instead of against it. Great job XO
Thank you very much. Each and everyone of you are awesome!
THIS was so much better than the video series down to central America. While the previous expedition played out more like an advertisement for Toyota, this expedition was much more enjoyable to watch, and focused a lot more on the landscape you traveled through, your relationship together as a team, your trials and tribulations, and also featured some very nice glory shots of the Toyotas.The series played out a lot more in spirit like your Alaska trip, which was also very enjoyable to watch.Thank Guys, for documenting your travels. You truly are a pleasure to watch, and I can only hope that one day I will be able to take a similar sort of trip.
I agree. I hated the second season. Was one giant commercial. The first one was amazing, no constant plugging of sponsors. I am glad they went back to their roots on this series.
So amazing! Thank you guys for sharing your adventures with the rest of us. You teach us, inspire us, and push us to expand our own horizons. Thank you XO! Stay safe, and keep exploring!
So amazing. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. Can't wait to see what is next for you. Well done on completing the journey in spite of all the challenges.
I must point out the amazing quality of the video! I remember the first series I found I believe it was in Montana deep snow in older quad cab taco and land cruiser. Not that you guys need ideas just wondered if u every thought of anything on east coast maybe Appalachian trail ?
That might encroach on Mountain State Overland territory though. Not a big deal, but almost the same idea.
JWilliams81 I'd say MSO would happily assist ?
CrazyMedic1474 I would agree. That would be fun!
The AT is not a motor vehicle trail but there are many others on the east side of the states.
I agree East Coast would be cool.
No matter how many times I watch the XO team it's always so awesome. I wonder if a Earthroamer can go down this trail?
This is such an awesome channel! definitely subscribing and binge watching all of their episodes! who agrees?
I'm thrilled for you guys, that you were able to complete your trek.
Thank you guys for sharing this awesome adventure! It's things like this that makes me want to get out and explore as well! God bless!
Lumberjacks . Geez . U guys earned respect big time
I love all the XO adventures, but Return to the MacKenzie is still my favorite, by far. Seeing the struggles, the perseverance, the team work, and the completion of the end-goal makes this a great watch. One which I'm sure i will re-watch time and time again. XO was my original inspiration and you all continue to inspire now with the completion of the Trans America Trail. Never stop.
watched each and every series.I am always get refreshed after watching Expedition videos.thanks guys...!!!
Quite the adventure, I am hoping to do this trail in a year or so. I have seen there are a few others that have tried it since you guys have been through it. As a Canadian overlander I thank you for staying with it, opening it up and giving us a recent map to follow. Thanks EXO crew.
Fantastic adventure, excellent film work (the drone footage in particular), truly inspirational!
Great job guys, can't wait for your next adventure..
This is the best ever.... In some ways it should be on Discovery or something for everyone to see... but on the the hand I'm glad it took SOME effort to find it so those that share Ex O values are the only ones to see it. this is good, golden stuff...
That last clip was pure gold! Ha ha!
Awesome account of your adventure. Thank you.
so awesome you found redemption.
Awesome job gents! You guys really inspire with your videos. Gotta love listening in private mode on the Roku stick with headphones as the wife is asleep and the first insect I heard made me swat at my ears, lol...
Real Live Action! Love it!
I watched all 3 episodes while processing some brass. Thanks guys for this awesome experience.
Glad to see you guys back at it......Great videos....I saw all the ones 3 years ago....AWESOME....it's amazing that The Discovery Channel has not been in contact with you...this could be on TV....
I love the outdoors.....I have been on 3 trips in the past 4 years and all lasted for about 3 months each.....Good Luck in the future trips...
Very cool. Thanks for releasing the series binge style.
You guys are amazing. More power to your great team.
Just wishing that I can be there too with my FJC.
Excellent work gentlemen. I'm so glad I came across your videos and I'm certainly coming away inspired. Your work and adventuring paves the way for myself, as well as the next generation of off-roaders, adventurers, and CZcamsrs. I hope to one day have the opportunity to be able to enjoy what you all do. Thanks again and I look forward to your future endeavors!
Serious expeditionary! Many off-roaders don't even clear branch of a trail. Nice team!
Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations of the " GREASE TRAIL" . Being a kid who grew up in Quesnel and travelled the trail multiple times to Anahim with my family ( starting when I was 8 years old), it was great to see sites that I have not seen in over 40 years. Thank you!
A small suggestion I would make to you and anyone who might get the explorer itch, you need not travel with so much with equipment, technology and luxury. First nation peoples have been travelling that trail for hundreds of years...using their skills as horsemen, hunters and fishers. Portraying your trip as a military operations was somewhat entertaining, but not a fair portrayal of the people who came before you. Thanks again for capturing and sharing your trip, It brought back great memories for me and my family. A precious time when we were all young and exploring the wilderness of central British Columbia!
Favorite series so far, great work guys! Loved how the focus was more on the overlanding itself and the episodes were longer. It gave the series a substance and tenacity that some others lacked. Love it, can't wait for the next one.
brings back good memories, we ran that trail back in 2000 except in reverse, first night's camp was at Gatcho Lake. through Eliguk Lake, the Home Ranch, Rob's and Linda's place, Kluskus… good fun
awesome videography!! thanks for sharing. this expedition has convinced me to get the General x3's for my f150!!
Just finished all your episodes! You guys are inspirational.
Well done XO & Hiline guys. A lot of fun watching these new episodes. cheers. Nico
Congratulations to your team. A truly great accomplishment, team work and group dynamic that really shines.
awesome series. looking forward to anotherone in the coming year.
Nice! Good to see Y'All stay sober and somewhat behave. Also it seemed to me that Y'All got better and smarter with each river and bog.And of course the scenery was really something.
Really good guys. The first half of part 3 looked miserable, but the end looked exhilarating.
Consider Iceland. I just spent 10 days there solo in a Land Cruiser, and it was spectacular and as can be as challenging as you want to make it. No where else like it on Earth.
14:54 - You know you have been camping with the guys long when a big rip goes un-noticed!
Awesome series, saw the first time the team tried it. Good to know they went back and finished the trail.
I was worried there for a while that you guys weren't going to make it in the allowed amount of time and having enough fuel. Glad to see that you guys made it! I can't wait to see what else you guys have in store to share.
Congrats guys on another successful expedition
McKenzie didn't make it to the Pacific but fell short in Dean Channel aka the one yard line. He left from an already well established Fort Chipewyan deep in the interior and made a round trip of 2300 miles. Now compared to Lewis and Clark who left from Pittsburgh and traveled 7690 miles and actually made it to the Pacific. Lewis and Clark were the first to navigate entirely across North America and to the Pacific.
Pretty sure dude didn’t fly Air Canada to Fort Chippawan or take the train
Once again another amazing series! Absolutely stoked to see where your next adventure takes you! Cheers!
Always impressed with Clay's maturity and his ability to keep safety in mind. Also, are you wearing a Marathon?
CLAY CROFT , YOU LIVE A GREAT LIFE , SIR
Thank you, Expedition Overland team, great job. I really enjoyed it!
That video series was absolutely AWSOME!!! Good job boys...very inspiring
what a great little series and what an adventure.. those mosquito though omg!
We loved this series. Your production has always been superb, yet you continue to refine your craft. The pacing was particularly good this time (in my amateur opinion anyway).
This looks like an amazing experience. Filled with lots of struggle but great positivity. You guys are my favorite overland team and I love your series and aspire to have my own one day! Thank you so much for opening up a whole new way of adventuring the world to me. Can't wait till the next one, let me know if you need another man on your crew!
Awesome. Enjoyed seeing you guys on another adventure.
Amazing!! I binge watched all 3 episodes! Im so glad that you guys were able to complete the expedition. I cant wait for your next expedition!!!
Amazing series!! Spread the word peeps, more need to watch.
What a great adventure! The drone footage was absolutely incredible. Loved it.
And yet another hit out of the park! Great series again guys.
