    I love that Trollstigen was like an afterthought. People literally drive to Norway just to experience that road :D

    I think it is cool when I get other American's perspectives on visiting other countries. I've been overseas half my career and I've gotten to experience other cultures and see the vast history that is Europe. It is something all should have a chance to see.

    Campsites (in average weather), break downs and getting getting stuck have been when I've met the best people while overlanding.

    "We'll see her in Iceland, which is very cool". Almost a British mastery with the play on words. Even if it was unintentional. Great work gang. I've helped out colleagues who are logistics people for overseas trips and the amount of work. I doff my cap to you.

    It's so cool to recognize the beautiful little town "Lom" at 35:55min where i had my first elk burger.
    Jotunheim was spectacular!!!
    It was on my overlanding trip through Sweden/Norway last year in June/July with my (surprise) Toyota Hilux truck equipped also with a Alu Cab hardtop and a maggiolina rooftop tent. Keep on doing your expeditions! Always a pleasure to watch. :)

    That Trolll Rd. view at the end made me tear up a bit. It's scenery like that that further solidifies my belief in God. Amazing drone work. The rigs look so good. I need one of those XO slaps.

    Not sure if it was said already but those ‘sideways fences’ are living fences. They cut the base of the sapling about 80-90% and bend it down/ intertwine it to the nearby ones. Plant can still survive with only that 10% still attached sl
    It doesn’t die and dry/fall apart. Good for small livestock so they can’t get through and doesn’t hurt anything! And all natural

    Epic views, history, and insight of the nordic alpines so far🍺. No place to be overlanding under prepared. I don’t pretend to know these folks other than through youtube both this channel and “epic family road trip” but im sure they had the time of their lives. With that comes a tremendous responsibility for the team leaders to keep the crew (especially jr crew) safe and on track, so i can appreciate the bit of discipline and organization that comes across in taking on a trip of this magnitude 🍻🍀

    I've been blessed enough to do both road trips and overland adventures across Australia, the Middle East, and even Colorado and Utah on the Rimrocker just last year. But Scandinavia looks like a whole new ballgame! and this series is definitely bringing my childhood memories of one ski holiday in Switzerland to the fore, with those stunning mountain views and snowy peaks. Can't wait for Ep 3!

    Been on three roadtrips all across Norway, 16 000kms in total. What really surprised me - after a week of driving you feel like you've seen it all, and after the next turn or tunnel there is another "WOW this is amazing" moment.. Plan on returning there many times!

    I am glad we went to Iceland with 6 kids in a 110 Defender 22 years ago without all these fancy car camping systems. Duffle bags and tents on the roof rack, that was all. Easy to find things, 5 minutes to pitch camp. You seem to have a lot of problems with your fancy trucks.

    The fencing at 8:30 is called "skigard", traditionally made from smaller timbers not usable elsewhere. The "ski"-part comes from the wood being split lengthwise. Often bound with "vidje", roots twisted into rope-like bindings.

  • @VladoooThe
    @VladoooThe Před rokem

    I shipped my overland built F150 from Toronto to Hamburg 2 years ago. It was such an easy process - 2 weeks total and about $2000. Was in customs for about half an hour and then she was free. Been exploring Europe and the Balkans ever since.
    I had to make an adapter for my stove and BBQ to work with European propane tanks. Only issue I still have is that I now have 2 regulators and the propane doesn't flow as well as it should.
    I highly recommend an expedition to the Balkans if you get a chance. Much more open and free than the EU. There are no camping laws, so if it fits it sits, and the scenery is amazing. If you have any questions regarding the region I'd be happy to help.
