So humbling watching this .. 🙏 the smiles of joy is priceless .. bless you 👌
People like you guys make such a difference
Todd the people you have helped were so poor it just broke my heart. I was in tears because I feel we have to do more. You and NeeNee are so sweet to help these beautiful people. Don’t you ever take me down away from that dirty place. God bless you my brother. Cheers mate!!!
Couldn't do it without people like yourself, Frank. Legend.. thank you 🙏
So great to see you traveling and helping out those villagers with clothes, shoes and medicine. You are a blessing to those villagers. God bless you mate!
You both always do good things for the poor local and we will always follow to watch. Amazing charity work.
Todd, my Thai wife & I are always moved by the generosity of you & NeeNee. Whenever you have a new video, we set aside time in the evening and watch it together. Congrats on passing 61K subscribers!!
Todd and NeeNee do so much good in this crazy world Bless you for paying it forward❤
Love how you and your wife are constantly helping the less fortunate people of Laos. ❤
Wild road trip! Such gentle and mellow people and obviously grateful for the help. You and Neene are stars❤
.... Radar love - great ...
Those are some sketchy roads. Be safe out there. You two are doing great things! Thanks for helping the less fortunate.
❤ You guys rock.....to see such gratitude from those people is awesome, Namaste 🙏 keep up the awesome work
You rock!
Oh, you guys are just great. Keep up the awesome work !!
Got me in tears again Todd,on my way can't take it no longer.Time to go back threw your videos and pic my favorite stay over.Your changing life's,there's and ours.Sending love mate.🙏
Thank you 🙏
It’s an amazing what You and Neenee are doing, you’re are a good man Todd . What you’re doing with Mina is also amazing, you gave her pride she was doing her homework and she is proud to show her ability to write . Bless you and your family
Some serious timber being hauled, love the driving position. Great work again mate
I love the kids faces when you give , I only give to kids and mothers , in philippines some men create problems, it is what it is , in any country ,I have a heart for the poor ,wish I could do more !!
Great job Todd and NeeNee! I aspire to one day live as you do. Despite being raised on different sides of the globe It's amazing how similar your music playlist is to mine. Godspeed!
Sounds like you have awesome taste! 🍺😆👍
Thank you
Typically again, great work from Todd and Neenee.The gratifying look on the mothers faces,when you handed out those clothes/footwear,and medicines.Two LONG,hard days work to afford those thongs/sandals.The kiddies just loved it all. Don't blame you for turning around. As Todd and NeeNee well know,when it rains there,it can change things very quickly,on those unstable roads.I admired that log truck driver,balancing that log on his head ( ha ha)...Good Vid again guys ....-)
Kenno...West Aust
Thank you! They really appreciate your clothes and shoes. Even though some can't communicate with you both, they are appreciative. God bless you!!
Mina is awesome .. has she been teaching her little brother while you were away? She is focused :)
Onya Todd and Nee Nee! Love to see those happy faces!!!
Really bad road my friend may Godbless everything you do for al the Hmong and Laos people thank you so much and love your ministries
You two are awesome. Always giving to the less fortunate...Thank you
Much respect to you both for delivering much needed items to the rural areas. As you said Todd, so pleasing to see how grateful the people are for whatever they recieve.
Great vlog Todd and Neenee. So many people helped. Exciting trip over that so called great road. Safe journey.❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Thanks Gerard
It warms your heart to see how greatful these beautiful people are for the simplest of things ❤
Keep up the great work 👍
God Bless you and your Family. Always giving to the need. ❤❤❤
Todd, may the Lord continue to bless and protect you as you travel through Laos. Your kindness to the Hmong children are much appreciated. Love watching your videos
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
So, in a sense, poverty can be equated to access, which makes total sense. Making people happy or even putting a smile on their faces is worth a million dollars. Lovely black and white stills, Todd. Looking forward to the next adventure. Cheers!
Brilliant 👏 so good to see the gratitude in their faces when recieving goods from yous, such small things that means so so much , great stuff guys 🙏💪
🤗🙏!
You guys are awesome, great, wonderful, marvelous et al….people.
Great video, little bet of 🫣, thanks goodness for your driving skill.
Take care.
The Lao people of those villages show such humility and grace. it must be so satisfying to you and Neenee. . It's in your nature. Tireless as you are. You are doing the good work that we truly appreciate as viewers. All the best my friend.🙏 Jim and Harriet
Thank you Jim and Harriet for the support you provide also 🙏 Much appreciated 👍
Mighty hairy road there. I don't blame you for turning back. Well done Todd and Nee Nee for supporting the people. Lovely to see their delight, especially the old lady with the big smile and high pitched voice. That brought a tear to the eye.
God bless you guys
Hi Todd Neenee great blog mate that ex army truck was a beast
A beast alright! 💪
Keep up the great work, love the smiling kids with new clothes and shoes
With a HUGE thanks to you Anne-Maree 🙏 They loved them 💚
Well I'm back in the cold and rain of the UK but it gladdens my heart to see you are still out doing the good thing. Love the music, I didn't think anyone but me liked Radar Love. And the Hendrix cover was cool. I'm bringing back a bottle of Irish next time I come and I need someone to help me drink it 😂.
muggy is what we call in the uk a sweaty humid weather
That's exactly what it was 😉👍
Thanks!
Frank! What's goin on mate.. you win on the races or something!? Too kind mate.. thank you 🙏
ty..xoxo blessings to y'all in every way ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brother thanks for the loving.
Hi Todd, I think you were wise to turn back whilst you had the chance. You just don't know what is ahead and there may not have been a turning space. Muggy is a genuine English word and it's meaning is exactly what you said. It reminded me of the old joke of a weather presenter saying "Today is Muggy, followed by Tueggy, Weggy, Thurgy and Frigy" Another excellent vlog young man, and those people who have nothing are always so appreciative of your donations. It is always sad to see so many babies and toddlers living in such communities. What future do they have? Thank you and Neenee for having a heart for these precious people. Mina is such a studier, even when she doesn't have to be. God bless you all 😀🙏❤
Hahaha haven't heard that Teuggy, Weggy one before 😆
Always great hearing your take-away from the videos Graeme.. hope you're doing well in Thailand mate and not getting into any fights with the Thai's lol. Sorry, couldn't help myself 😆 Been a bit of trouble lately for a few foreigners I'm hearing..
Take care mate
🤣😂🤣😂@@NowinLao
Thanks Todd for the information. Cheers buddy 🍻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🇦🇺😎
Cheers Mick 👍
((( @ scene 2:29 on the left side of the dirt road my mother did that firewoods fetch all the times :( Sadly, both of my folks were long gone they didn't have to do hard work anymore :( So amazing and so tearful to watch a nice video like this in bed on a laptop PC :( Please keep good video like this coming so we "Hmong" could view it ))) :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💙👍👍👍👍👍
words fail..the tears win...well done m8 s
Hi Todd, I had some serious buffering problems with my mobile network recently, I'll come back and watch this video in full later. / Al
Update, finally got watch your fine video without the buffering. Unfortunately up here above the Arctic Circle there is solar activity affecting the ionosphere and as a result its playing havoc with mobile telecommunications and TV reception. Regarding the video, it takes a brave soul to drive on a unstable newly carved out road on a side of a mountain that has been water logged and partly washed away, no wonder Neenee isn't comfortable and pulling faces. 😂 It was absolutely joyous to watch the appreciation given by the humble poor folk and the kids whose faces lit up when receiving the donations. 👍🏼
Great video as always. We love the black and white pictures.
Thanks guys.. see you later in the year 💚
Todd, you've got some big ones, I don't know if I could have driven that road, I think I'd have been like Nene.
Lucky you have the troopy
Looks like a nice trip, will have to join you for a drive one day, not gotten out and ahout in ages.
For sure mate! Anytime 👌😉
Great video I loved it . Thank you
Am so proud of you both.....❤
hi guys
Howdy Todd,,Dad n I had a good fun little trip..we drove 800 miles,,,all in central Montana. We use the term muggy also. I was thinking that road was causing muggy underwear! 😂😅 lol that road was the shits and the worst thing was the drop. Glad it all went safe,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
Made a donation Todd, just checking you got it because I intend to donate in the future . Cheers mate
Sorry Dave, slept in. Nice surprise to wake to.. Yes, thank you very much mate 😉👍
Heyyyy got the Toyota tested on the road nice 😊 off road )
((( @ sence 3:47 straight ahead it's the same exact view as I saw it last time with thick green vegetation with cloudy sky and super humidity around high 80 degrees no winds at all :( Imagine you're walking an hour to work and an hour back home with heavy loads on your back through this unpave road nearly half during your lifetime:( So memorable with everything intact as if it was just yesterday ))) :( Great video 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love that intro music...the start of 'Radar Love' by the great band Golden Earring from the Netherlands. I must say that you have some great snippets from songs in some of your videos, such as Bob Dylan, etc.
Glad you're enjoying them 😉👍
❤
They only do that if you’re a foreigner and have money or tourist with money. If you’re a local and don’t have money they won’t be nice to you like that. Glad that there’s someone like Todd and his wife doing good deeds for the poor people in small villages
Nerves of steel to be driving on those roads!
We say Muggy for a humid day here in Minnesota. pretty cheesy roads there Todd.. The look in the one older gal's eyes when you gave her that small package made me tear up a bit... she was so thankful.....good job.
Ya big sook! 😆 Ya gonna be bawling at the one after next then.. had me choking up on vid 😢
Take care mate
💯🔥💙👍
ทำดีได้ดี 👍 good job mate
Lol I loved the “Dale Buggins” comment. You’re lettin people know our age 😂😂😂
Haha yeah.. there'd only be a few people who got that comment 😉👍
Go fellow Aussie...love you both ..put a winch on troopy in your situation its a must have
Thanks Chris.. it has one mate 👌😉
❤👍👍👍🙏
Troops did its job
Did it easy mate 💪
Todd 🚙👍trooper!
Muggy day followed by
Tueggy day
Weggy day etc.
Hey mate you need to make sure your spare tire is the same size as all your other tyres. Can cause more trouble then a flat tyre.
For sure mate.. 31" 👌
Hey Todd, Neenee, I wonder what timber they are hauling out and where is it going to. Take care Nev
Those nice timber are most likely going to Vietnam and China.
Seen it before
Never any doubt in a Toyota
((( @ scene 5:18 an isolated road like this imagine you're alone walking home after school and or perhaps coming back from work at nearly dark in the evening :( petrified and hair raising strikes you with heart beating faster and faster by the minutes :( the one animal I fear the most was a tiger popping from out of nowhere...hehe ))) :( 😨😨😨😨😨
Good to see you got real turkeys on the road there also 28:00 is there no limit to having road turkeys when yah driving get off the road god damn it !
Turkey's all over the joint mate 😆👍
MUGGY IS A NORMAL BRITISH SAYING AND USA TOO.
Traveling around like you do,you should get AAA Insurance lol!
hope you offered your help to the motorcycle guy at 7.02 ! looked like you just went off. otherwise a nice film
He was doing just fine.. he's Hmong 😉
Thank you
Good morning Todd, you're such a good vlogger I am wondering if you took training courses or does it come natural. Thanks again.
Lol.. thanks Bob. With practice everybody becomes better at something. If you take a look at my very early videos you'll know what I mean.. so embarrassingly bad 🥴
As far as editing.. just learnt from other YT vids. It's the nature of editing though.. you're always trying to make the next video better, and there's always room for improvement. I'm glad you guys find them entertaining.. thanks mate.
Does it rain much in the Philippines this time of year mate? Our rain season has started early..
We are still in America for a few more weeks. We live just south of Cebu city and it has been very dry this year so far but the rainy season should start any day now. June to November.
Those guys in that truck wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell if it went over. Talk about a log canopy over yhdir heads .. OMG. And the bloke standing on the back .. one slight roll and history and he's probably wearing thongs ( flip flops ). No unions in Laos mate. Great vlog so many happy impoverished people you're legends you guys. Bushyboy Oz.
Hope you're with RACV roadside assistance. Some of those roads are sketchy.
NRMA 😆👍
I have absolutely no doubt that the troopy would have got you to the final destination on that jungle road. it's just a question of how much damage you would have done tearing up the road for the locals who use it.
For sure mate. Plus we have to take into account what a heavy downpour would do to a new road like this.. Landslides are a huge danger.
Morning from Nathalia Victoria G'day Todd/Neenee+Mina Dale Bugins Australias Evil keneval lol
Haha I knew somebody would pick that up 😉👍
@@NowinLao Just searched the comments looking to see who would know the Dale Buggins reference. RIP Dale Buggins.
@@r8421 Only the 3 of us by the looks of it.
A true Aussie legend.. RIP
muggy is a pomy word
Dude you have a 4x4 use it what it was intended for. When I had my Jeep TJ I wouldn’t worry about any road . That road you’re on is no big deal, in my neck of the woods you would see cars go on that road. What the point in having a 4x4 if you’re afraid to use it.
As I've stated before Bob, there's more to take into consideration than whether your vehicle can handle it. Weather is a huge factor here with the rain season just starting, which causes landslides all over Laos. All well and good saying you did this or that, but was that in a 3rd world country? A country with no rescue or recovery teams? A country with very poor medical system.. not to mention the lack of phone signal if we did get into trouble.
Common sense plays a big part in staying out of trouble in countries like this, and not putting others lives at risk all because... It's a 4x4
Do you have a winch on Troopy?
We do Skip 👌😉
Only Todd can see beauty in a troops
Troopy.. damn auto correct.
That had more risk than any Leyland Bros journey ... stay cool.
Great work, big effort. The happiness is infectious.
😆👍
The next vehicle after the troopie is get a helicopter for those remote villages. Whadya say, mate?😂
Haha would come in very handy mate 😆👍
Need your postal address love what your doing mate cheers
It's in the description of this video Simon 👌
Thank you
Sir please give me answer how much for I phone 15 pro..
No idea.. I use Android
@@NowinLao there is no option for I phone
@@Lillshotgaming007 you can buy iPhones here, sure. I just have no idea of the price.. sorry
I've driven worse roads in worse cars ! You got it together Todd 👍👍👍👍👍
Neenee's on the ball, turn around 😂, " you keep saying that"😂 , . Just check front wheel bearings every morning todd , cruisers are the best, i gotta HZJ 79 series. 🦘🦘🦘🐊🐊🐊.
Nice stuff mate 👍
Cheers 🍻
Yeahh.. I did keep saying that but it just kept handling the conditions so well lol.. you know what I mean.
It's wise to keep the boss happy though 👌😉
Thanks!
Really appreciating this support Todd.. Thanks mate 👍
Thanks!
Much appreciated.. thank you 🙏
