LOL i'm watching this video even though I'm not in the US and I don't have a driving license.
Can never be too prepared
Which means you are unemployed and have lots of time to waste
@@wrizvi7770 who hurt you?
@@wrizvi7770 I'm not unemployed. In fact, I'm going to work right now.
That means you have a good vision and imagination on what you might want to do one day. Do it, Lady!!! And keep working your butt off. Let no small minded people shake you✨🙋♂️
My parents were genius packers and possibly crazy. In 1960, they packed a 4 by 6 foot camper. They loaded the station wagon without air conditioning and 5 kids, 2 still in diapers. The trip a southern route from Ohio to California, then up the coast to Seattle and back to Ohio. We might have eaten at a restaurant once. Otherwise, they were cooked on a 2 burner campstove.
Groceries were replenished. They did need to buy an additional sleeping bag and spend a day in Seattle getting a replacement lens for my sister's glasses, which shattered while waiting for a shower. Great memories with a snowball fight on our brother's 4th of July birthday.
I recently started my travel channel, and I'm learning new things all the time to improve the quality of my channel and travel experiences. Thanks for the tips! Good luck to everyone just starting out! I love watching all of your videos on travel!
I'm actually planning to go on a trip with my dog ! This will be the best thing ever
@1:59 *_Bring food for meals, not just snacks_* 👍
We rent a cabin every year for a guys' trip and one person is responsible for one home cooked dinner. (We all throw in a ten spot to pay for the food.) A friend started this a long time ago by surprising all of us with ribeyes and potatoes. Ever since, it's a tradition to try and outdo last year's meal. We've had burgers, spag bol, Cincinnati chili, beef stew, chicken souvlaki, fajitas, pork chops and even pulled pork and swordfish. 😂
Thats cool. My buddies just bring a six pack of Mickey's and a six pack of Zima (jokes from high school that we still do for some horrible reason)
Road Trips are AWESOME! The Big Beautiful USA!
Love roadtrips so much.
This may be a bit biased, coming from a radio operator, but a CB radio is a great asset to have for a road trip. It is a great way to pass time chatting with other truck drivers (and some 4 wheelers), in addition to being a good source of info regarding traffic jams, info, alternate routes. While it may not replace a mobile phone, if you ever needed some help, I’m sure you could reach someone on Channel 19 if you’re near a route with truck traffic. The CB radio is not a gimmick, nor is it a toy. It really is a useful tool to communicate with others and share info.
One more thing, this isn’t the 1970s anymore, so don’t talk like Burt Reynolds did in Smokey and the Bandit. You can find other videos on CZcams for more info.
Good tips!
We’ve have 4 trips to the US (from Australia) and driven through about 30 or so states. My advice to foreigners is to use large paper maps and road atlases when planning routes. Don’t just use gps - you miss out on too much and don’t get a good idea of the lay of the land.
How did you drive from Australia to USA?
@@bhushaaa4244 Special tyres
@Bhushaaa you've never took the trip??
Yes to the cleaning supplies! Great tips. Thanks!!
Thanks Kim!
Great video, thanks for all the helpful tips and advice!
We keep a picnic blanket and camp chairs in our car. Helpful when the restaurants are to-go only.
Great tips and footage! Living in Bali right now but can’t wait to travel through the US when we get back.
I'll be getting an organiser for my next road trip so I don't have a mess on the seat next to me
Awesome tips Mark! Not sure I’d know where to start with a paper map, but great to have as a back up!
Maybe it's time to learn to use a paper map. They really do work. Lol
Thanks for this video. Im planing a road trip from FL to AZ, UT and CO
Fantastic driving scene. 😀👏🏻
Great video - thanks for sharing!
This was a very informative video 📹. Thank you !
It is a real pleasure for me to visit the Visitor centers in the US. The staff there is always so nice and kind and even that I am always pretty good prepared for what I will see there are always some additional interesting information that I receive from them! Love the US National Parks, the annual pass and the whole organization there! 💛💛💛 Hope to visit the US again very soon.
Great video! Awesome energy too!!
I’m from uk we have done 6 5 week rd trips. No maps just winged it. Great fun. Great country. Can’t wait to do 7th rd trip
I just spent two weeks traveling through New England, I did not bring cleaning supplies, if I cannot trust a hotel to properly clean the room before I check in I shouldn’t be staying there. I am careful but not excessive. Make sure you know how to change a tire, fill fluids and swap wiper blades. Relax and smile at strangers.
I've been waiting for the border to open back up so I can start road tripping again. But being from Canada, I suggest keeping a set of tire chains as a part of your emergency kit. You never know when you're driving through some mountains and you hit a freak snow storm.
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
I bring a power inverter and strip as well. Great for multiple devices both in the car and wherever you stay
Good call
So informative... thank you so much..
Love your vidios wolter!! Your grate!!!💞👌🏻👌🏻
Well hello there! Long time no text!!! Always enjoy this awesome family!!💛❤💯👨👩👧👧
Thank you Giselle!
Can't wait till it's winter so I can drive up to Big Bar to see snow sleep in a cabin 🙌🏽(from LA)
Big bear? we live below it. Nice to go for the day.
Awesome video! Do you have a video of the routes you took? We are traveling this spring out west 3 or 4 weeks if necessary and don't really know where to start, what not to miss etc. Ideas??
Excellent tips
I recognized the cheese curds you showed for snacks. A few miles from our astronomical observatory.
Awesome!
I come from a country with left hand driving, the thought of driving in USA scares the hell out of me lol
Great video
Thinking of doing a road trip from NY to NM
WOLTER! Great videos! Do you have a list of EQUIPMENT you use to film? I'm looking for a light very portable tri-pod that folds up small for my back pack. I'm a US expat in the Netherlands right now filming with a GoPro Hero 7 black. I currently suck at it but I'm getting better! Thanks! Keep it up.
Manfrotto tripods. I have a link in some of my other videos. Just took the link out in this one
I live here in the US and I went on a three-week vacation with my grandma from Ohio to Texas and back all driving Best Time Ever
very cool family trip
Practical as always Mark. Much appreciated even tho v much common sense imo. Had attempted to watch several like this b4 finding this 1 - all the same, all listing unnecessary and $$$$ crap
Excellent advice as always! Thank you!
Thank you
Bravi!
I've never sh*t my pants in adulthood. However I always pack way too much underwear just in case I do it everyday.
You never know ;)
SAME!

I'm from Belgium and I'm planning a 3800 mile roadtrip through the US. I hope to do it in september/october/november 2021
I go with my mom and we go every year or so and we just went to South Dakota this year it was amazing Love the videos man 👍.
Thank you
Another great video. Thanks Mark
Cheers Leo!
Mark, get a Toyota... If you do not want to spend money on Road side assistance
9:55 Ah, yes, "entertainment." That's a good euphemism for Xanax/Ambien/Benadryl.
love your videos man
Thank you
Years ago, I journeyed from the Midwest to Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound, with my grandmother and my 6 year old. I had never driven myself outside of the county I lived in. We had a picnic breakfast in the Badlands - seemed like any second Clint Eastwood might come walking out from behind the rocks. We visited Mt. Rushmore and went on to have lunch in Deadwood - during Sturgis! The mountain pass at the border area between Idaho and Washington was so steep, it was scary. Finally made it to Whidbey Island, via the ferry - another new experience for me. My goodness, what wonderful memories I have of that roadtrip! Journey on, Wolter family!
What road is that from around 5:30 to 6:10? It looked AWESOME!
And it looked like he was driving at 100 mph because of the video speed lol
Hope to be able to travel to the us in 2021! Much support from Italy!
Your video caption at 0:48 made me smile, Mark 😉
Earlier this summer went on a drive from Ri to Ohio, picking the best mates to drive with is crutial! Glad I picked the right ones, cedar point was great!
Love cedar point!
Great tips, use just about all of them myself! The only issue with me is choosing a road trip partner. Mine is usually my 22 year old daughter who hates road trips and would rather fly everywhere, while I'm the complete opposite. It unfortunately doesn't usually make for the most enjoyable of times so I do alot of solo trips, lol.
One thing you need, That wasn't mentioned, Is don't forget
. Your car, it's difficult to do a road trip with out it.
AAA saved my father on a driving trip in Titusville
ALL good advice. Thanks Mark
Saved us too
what is that place at 9:45
I’ve not thought of wat we need to pack. I’ve noticed ppl get more annoyed wiv others in this time.
Little tip, don't touch the prairie dogs they are one of the few ways you can still get the plague.
Yes definitely bring your own hand sanitizer when we started doing it at my Walmart the hand sanitizer they were handing out for some odd reason smell absolutely horrible I don't know what it was but I could barely bear the stench of the stuff
I miss hand sanitizer that doesn't make me sick smelling it
Where can i find a map 🗺 ?
Bravisimo🚴🦋
Grazie!
Pack feminine hygiene products... guess who's coming early this month!
Hi, would you recommend a Solo-Roadtrip?
I go somewhere at least once a month and I always travel alone granted I always pack a gun, a stun gun, and mace just to be safe..oh and I have a tactical knife in my car as well. When I travel I could literally live out of my car for a month should a zombie apocalypse happen hahaha
@@loritr 😆 those things would get you arrested where i live 😉
I’m curious since your family is on a month long roadtrip are you kids doing remote learning through your school district or another program?
I was curious to I know around here apex was popular
@Just Nikki Yes. Mark did a very comprehensive video a couple of weeks ago about remote classes this semester for his boys.
I aspire to travel like Mark
Very nice place.
In the UK to save the environment, Refill in many shops allows people to refill their water bottles instead of buying plastic bottles of water
Thats cool
@@woltersworld I know! 😁
Some people go to the existent of bringing those mini blenders and hot plate or foreman grill to there trip so they just plug it up in the hotel.
Apples and bananas are loaded with carbs. Look at Keto!
RUNZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent advice as always! 🙂
Thank you
Really enjoyed watching this, so well done! Make sure you check out our adventures and leave a comment with your ideas or suggestions! ✨
Marks gotta bring the big boy pops😀
It takes work to maintain this physique
@@woltersworld Id love to see you do a video on Cincinnati/Ohio someday
I hope that was just a timelapse when you drove up Scott's Bluff National Monument 😉
Nah. My middle name is Andretti
@@woltersworld Cool! 😉
Can you do colorado ❤️👏🏻 next??
Probably next year
I laughed at the speed of the video driving up Scott's bluff. Is that what it felt like to Jocelyn?
I think so
I grew up doing road trips as a kid. Looking at a new car to take some more actually..
first
2nd
Mark... Why don't you use RV if you have so much of intense road travel, as it can probably save you cost and gove much more flexibility also in managing things for the family
I'm just not a huge fan. Jocelyn loves them though so I'm guessing we will go on an RV trip eventually
@Manish Mehta The boys are online this semester so an RV wouldn't work. Mark detailed in a precious video that providing a comfortable, private learning environment for his boys is essential to remote learning so hotels and cabins with excellent wifi are essential.
Thanks Great tips, How about taking the wife AND the girl friend?
Really really bad idea
No its a good idea, if he want to lose his life. 😕
Now THAT would be a road trip to watch
🤣🤣🤣😁💀
Get a Mazda if you don't wanna spend money on road side assistance.
Isn‘t it forbidden to fly to the USA as a European citizen? So, I guess the roadtrip will have to stay a dream for some time....
hopefully by summer you will be able to travel here
How come you’re not allowed to mention Covid in your videos?
May lead to no ads on your videos and showing up less jn search
As an extremely rural resident I would like to pass along a tip. Its not necessarily what you should bring though. When traveling in rural settings remember our roads work just like yours. Driving 20 mph to watch the antelope is not a good idea. Parking in the middle of a dirt road to get a scenic picture is not a good idea. Gawking at rural homesteads makes people nervous. Just some things we have dealt with in a bigger than normal way since March.
Amen to the parking in the road. Why do people do that. Its nits
🤣 you were passing everybody on the interstate!!
I hadn't noticed that ;)
Deadwood! Hope you took a few minutes to try your luck at gambling!
I'm honestly not a big gambler. I am more of a quick loser then on my way a few dollars lighter than I came in
Hellooo
Hi
So you can’t say “coronavirus” without being censored....?
Demonetized, yes. You can still say Coronavirus, you just won't make any money off of your video.
It seems that your videos get promoted less or show up less in search and you can be demonitized on that particular video. Yourube said that shouldn't be the case anymore but I feel better safe than sorry.
You mean 'Bring' on 2:47
And then you get really lost and then the driver looks over you know where the hell are we and I'm like I don't know
Hahaha
For a moment there I thought Lewis Hamilton was driving🚘
Jocelyn does have some drivibg skills. That is trur
You'll probably need to take a mask.
Yep
Don’t forget your mask lol
Its trur
hopefully only for the first six months 2021. fingers crossed!
so if they told you had to stand on your head to get into a place I guess you do that too along with your mask what a bunch of crap
Old road tripper.....Bellies full.....Blatters empty....Cut back on the drinks.....
