Once again, there’s a scammer in the comments. We did our best to find all of their comments and delete them.

Sorry about that, everyone 😅
Hey, you could ask one of your fans to act as a moderator. They would have the ability to scan your comments and delete any unwanted comments. Most likely someone would be excited to do it for Tia’s beautiful postcards.
There's no way only 1 out of 10 viewers watch the bloopers. It can't be just me😂😂🤔🤔👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🪃🪃🦘🦘 Also someday when your back in Oz is seeing the wild flowers in season in the Flinders Ranges in Sth. Aust. Much like the ranges out the back of Sedona.
We’re planning on bringing them back. RUclips told us only 1/10 people watch the bloopers, but it seems the people who did enjoy them as much as we do 😂
yes the new Fitzroy crossing bridge is open (10/11/2023) and the kimberely awaits, together with the W.A Pilbara lots of similarities with Arizona....not much cactus but heaps of spinifex..😀
@@user-sp1ri I heard a scientist say the rocks in the Pilbara have exactly the same genetic makeup as those in the Grand Canyon... fascinating stuff, mind-blowing actually!
I swear Tia was glowing, she looked amazing. Happy and excited. The timelapse was beautiful. The cacti looked awesome. I read that Joshua Trees got their name from Mormon immigrants. They were named after Joshua from the Old Testament. They felt that the branches looked like arms raised in supplication to God. I hope you guys have a wonderful first van-life adventure.
We have been touring Australia for a decade in our converted 18 seater Nissan Civilian. We have our own shower/toilet, and we run the entire show on solar. We Love it!
You two are extremely compatible and obviously love each other....even after 8 years (Tia said so)...I only wish you both the very best for the future 🙂
Next time you visit Australia, come to Kangaroo Island and see our "Remarkable Rocks" you wont be disappointed.. And just around the corner "Admirals Arch" and its seals :)
My two sons have been telling me about Joshua Tree, since they live in California they’ve visited there. So thanks to the two of you sharing it with me. I live in Australia by the way.
Hey from Aus again, 1) agree where’s the bloopers 2) Tia, where’s your “suuubscribe” 3) so that’s where the expression ‘crawling with people’ came from eh😄 4) thanks you guys for the Pick Me Up
🎶🎶🎶There were plants and birds and rocks and things, there was sand and hills and no rain....you've been through a desert in a van with a name ....🎶🎶🎶🎶
As Willy Nelson sang: On the road again! So happy to see you traveling on your home ground. Love to follow you as I have been doing since the very start. Thanks for brightening up our lives. Keep up the great work!! Love ! 🤠🤠🤠😙👍🚐
Flowering cacti are the some of nature's best things. A plant with such a defense system saying "Stay away from me" suddenly produces a flower and says "Come over here"
You guys are just so cute , can see how in love you are . That campsite for your first night ,wow what a view. Also I think I agree ,this postcard is Tia's best , the colours and imagery are superb 🌟
The desert is such a beautiful place...it always amazes me that some people don't see the natural beauty...thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.
Love the shots of the desert - those desert flowers look stunning. When you come back to Oz you definitely need to check out the Flinders Ranges. It also has the semi-desert landscapes and sense of remoteness. 😊
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene So far van life looks good on you! Joshua Tree with its wildflowers reminds me of parts of Australia but without our wildlife - especially missing the kangaroos and wallabies. Awesome postcard!
Hi Tia & Cheveyo, Nice to see you beginning your first van life experience. No doubt certain things will take getting used to but with your life experiences to date, you should be well prepared to tackle anything. Your final camping spot would have been awesome for you both, isolation and a spectacular night sky!! Travel safe ❤
Love this. Love the cactus gardens , desert flowers are so lovely. If you time it right for Australia , you can catch the wildflower season in Western Australia, it's late August into Sept and runs for 8 weeks or so, it's amazing. Anyway loving the road trip so far , the footage is great
Oh, by the way.....just for reference you guys....Happy Anzac Day. Was at a dawn service yesterday morning and it reminded me of your video 12 months ago !!
I was in the south west area where you are now back in February/March. It’s going to be wonderful to revisit the area through your eyes. I traveled old Route 66 from Santa Monica to Flagstaff, stayed in Wigwam motel, visited Oatman saw Amboy crater, but didn’t have time to walk out to it. If you have time a lap around the Salton Sea is interesting with its many sights to see, Bombay beach, Salvation mountain, Slab City and the mud pots are pretty cool, go searching for wild obsidian. Joshua tree National Park was awesome, I’d never seen Joshua trees either. Happy adventuring guys. It really brings so many people so much joy.
I'll take this post as my birthday (25th April), gift from you both. Many thanks for the thoughtful present. According to the road sign at one point we were 330 miles apart. Wild flowers beat all. Tia, only two more years before you can apply for long service leave. (It's an Australian work thing). Please return TFS (Tia for scale) and bloopers. Safe travels.
Nice you guys , van traveling has it's good and bad and lets have the good . When you fill the water tank you don't use the garden hose , full of bacteria and dodgy stuff , you use a special "drinking water hose" and flush it out beforehand . Happy travels :-)
That looks like such an absolutely wonderful location. Any downsides of van life would be immediately forgotten in a place like that. Arizona, New Mexico and now western California are on my bucket list.
What you "need" for the steak (and everything else delicious) is a little portable charcoal grill :) You can get cheap tiny collapsible ones, and as a bonus your van won't have a lingering smell of fried food/oil.
Great episode! Do not miss Bombay Beach on the Salton Sea or the nearby Slab City and Salvation Mountain, all near Nilland, CA. I will also look forward to seeing Death Valley.
What a fun trip! I'd love to see the Southwest US sometime. Such a different landscape than most of the country. I can't wait to see more of your journey.
WoW - Fuel is cheap in USA! US$ 3.699 per US gallon for Unleaded! That converts to AU$ 1.25 per litre. We are currently paying up to AU$ 2.35 per litre here in Melbourne, Down Under; that equates to 188% more expensive for fuel here than in USA! By the way guys, you're more than welcome to stay in Auz for as long as you like come June. The weather will be splendid finishing your original route on the West Coast but Please, Please, Please don't forget Tassie and make sure you have plenty of warm winter woolies!
What an amazing part of the world. You're fairly close to Death Valley.....maybe check out Cerro Gordo, the silver mining 'ghost town', inhabited by youtuber, adventurer and author Brent Underwood. An amazing guy in a fascinating place!
Would love to be the lucky winner of one of your stunning postcards. Honestly I think they get better and better each time. One day I may be lucky enough. 😊
It would be a pleasure to showcase your beautiful postcard in my office along with some of my own drawings of my travels. WOW it’s stunning! Safe travels 👏🚐🌵🏜️❤️👍
Can´t wait to follow along on this trip. From what I saw of the Route66-videos, it´s going to be a fun way to learn more about the less highprofile sights of the US, maybe? And I really like that.
Here in Australia vans with sliding doors are often known as "whizz-bangs" due to the noise they make when closing the door. Quite descriptive. What an amazing place Joshua Tree is, incredible landscape and vegetation. I'm also another traveller who prefers to visit the less touristy places where its much less busy and almost as scenic.
Hi guys, I've been following you for some time and really have enjoyed your videos. Your plans are to go to Australia soon and since you've just gotten into van live, I thought you might like to know about some van-life you-tubers who are now in Tasmania and are planning to sell their self-converted van. You may already know about this but their channel is "Philly and Keely", a Northern Ireland couple who are quirky and fun. They came to Australia about six months ago and did a simple conversion of a van. Now their trip is coming to an end and their latest video just came out where they talk about selling the van. It has served them well with no problems (to my knowledge) If this sound interesting, contact them soon. I think their videos are pretty current. You can watch their videos when they first came to Australia to check out how they found and converted the van. PS. I lived in Sedona for 40 years and just sold my house two years ago. We probably know some of the same people!
Wonderful upload it cannot get any hearing that song ' soldier' by particle house , perfect desert settin where the mojave , colorado and sonora deserts converged
I love Joshua Tree! Surprised you guys haven't been there growing up so close. The desert flowers are so pretty at the moment, I was camping in Anza Borrego state park a couple of weeks ago (near San Diego) and it was so beautiful.
Great start with some funny moments! $3.77 for diesel doesn't seem too bad. The flowering cactus is very beautiful! All I kept thinking about was the song "In God's Country" U2 Joshua Tree Album during the driving parts. Joshua Tree National Park looks super nice! Hopefully, we'll get to visit there someday! Hopefully, you'll be able to check out the Oregon Coast during this short trip! Take care always!
You’ve inspired me to spend time in the desert areas of the south west. Being from the Canadian North it will be very unfamiliar to me. Growing up in the wilds of Northern Quebec I’m very comfortable with and know what wildlife is around me. However I have no idea what wildlife to be weary of in the desert. Would you consider fitting a bit of a talk about that. Growing up there you’d know instinctively what to stay clear of or how to deal with situations that I would be very unfamiliar with. Cheers Steve (68yrs) Manitoba

Thanks for that - too old and cagey to fall for it but glad it's gone.
Initially I thought how nice but that lasted a nanosecond..lol Glad you've caught them..😊
Pity those scammers wouldn't get a propper job!

Would love to see the bloopers section make a come back at the end of your videos again! They were hilarious and always gave me a good laugh
We’re planning on bringing them back. RUclips told us only 1/10 people watch the bloopers, but it seems the people who did enjoy them as much as we do 😂
@@OnePackWanderers I agree, bring back the bloopers.
We always love watching the bloopers too 🥰
Love the bloopers!
Bring them back.😊
That's one amazing van! Can't wait for you's to get back to Australia, much love from down under. X

The remarkable rocks is the most accurate name ever. They are amazing!
So glad to hear that you are coming back over to Australia 🇦🇺 to finnish your trip, keep an eye on the weather chart & calculate it. Safe tripping 😀

Tia, that is the best post card you have ever made. :) I love watching the adventures the two of you get up to. Keep it coming.
You delivered, you didn't oversell or overpromise: Such serene beauty!
Your production values are becoming top tier. I love your drone footage, and your vlogs are amazing.
Flowering cacti are the some of nature's best things. A plant with such a defense system saying "Stay away from me" suddenly produces a flower and says "Come over here"
Wow, so beautiful! Van life in the US is a huge bucket list dream for us. Have fun!!
You guys are just so cute , can see how in love you are . That campsite for your first night ,wow what a view. Also I think I agree ,this postcard is Tia's best , the colours and imagery are superb 🌟
Would be amazing to see a One Pack Wanderers Vanlife Series for sure, that would be epic x
I'm excited to see more of your van life adventures, I love the postcard too.
Thanks so much for showing me the Joshua Tree - it's amazing 🌵
The desert is such a beautiful place...it always amazes me that some people don't see the natural beauty...thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.

my all time favourite couple on you tube, greg in oz
Beautiful description of the uniqueness of desert life. Made me smile! 🌺
Very cool retro post card...
The Joshua trees are truly amazing and interesting, will do some research!
Tia stole Cheveyo's 'crawling with people' just before he thought of it! Loving the series.
This is the best way to travel
Hey guys just a quick tip to close slide door, open a window just a little before you close and u will find it easier
Great tip!
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
So far van life looks good on you!
Joshua Tree with its wildflowers reminds me of parts of Australia but without our wildlife - especially missing the kangaroos and wallabies.
Awesome postcard!
I think if I were on this road trip, I'd be listening to The Joshua Tree by U2. Driving through the country and landscape that inspired the music.
That whole album is amazing. I had the CD as a kid
Hi Tia & Cheveyo, Nice to see you beginning your first van life experience. No doubt certain things will take getting used to but with your life experiences to date, you should be well prepared to tackle anything. Your final camping spot would have been awesome for you both, isolation and a spectacular night sky!! Travel safe ❤
I agree with you C, the desert is endlessly fascinating as it draws your attention down to the little things.
Would also love to see the bloopers again too! Still trying to convince the husband I need to join your postcard club 😅
Love this. Love the cactus gardens , desert flowers are so lovely. If you time it right for Australia , you can catch the wildflower season in Western Australia, it's late August into Sept and runs for 8 weeks or so, it's amazing. Anyway loving the road trip so far , the footage is great
Oh, by the way.....just for reference you guys....Happy Anzac Day. Was at a dawn service yesterday morning and it reminded me of your video 12 months ago !!
I rewatched it just now.
Can your videos get any better! I don't think so. Your talent shows through enormously with those postcards Tia. Safe travels.
Van life is amazing and challenging but i hope to live it in the future
You two are such a great couple, Tía is so cute ☺️ ❤ love you guys! Good luck in your new adventure 🎉
Always very entertaining watching you guys🍻 Tia you are a very good drawer all your postcards look great. Take care and stay safe on the roads.👍
Loving your vanlife series! I really appreciate how down to earth both of you are.
You guys look so happy! Thanks for taking us along on your van life journey. Can't wait for the next video.
🍁 Adventures continue 🚐. Another beautiful postcard Tia.

What a great video. A world less travelled perspective on the USA is off to a fascinating start. Thanks for sharing.
Nice you guys , van traveling has it's good and bad and lets have the good . When you fill the water tank you don't use the garden hose , full of bacteria and dodgy stuff , you use a special "drinking water hose" and flush it out beforehand . Happy travels :-)
That’s a gorgeous postcard.
Lovely to see all the flowers and plants in the desert.
"Van Life" looks good on you two so far😉 Enjoy your travels
That looks like such an absolutely wonderful location. Any downsides of van life would be immediately forgotten in a place like that. Arizona, New Mexico and now western California are on my bucket list.
The desert is an ocean of a different kind
What you "need" for the steak (and everything else delicious) is a little portable charcoal grill :)
You can get cheap tiny collapsible ones, and as a bonus your van won't have a lingering smell of fried food/oil.
Looks like you two are enjoying being back in the Southwest US.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming adventure!
Love the postcard artwork!
Great episode! Do not miss Bombay Beach on the Salton Sea or the nearby Slab City and Salvation Mountain, all near Nilland, CA. I will also look forward to seeing Death Valley.
The best part of your videos are the b-roll. Quiet cinematic shots. Enjoying your channel 😊
Wow the scenery just took my breath away! Love the retro postcard of route 66 xx
What a fun trip! I'd love to see the Southwest US sometime. Such a different landscape than most of the country. I can't wait to see more of your journey.
really excited to see where this trip will get you to as a West Coast Road Trip is also on my bucket list
This is so cool - The United States is such a great place to explore.

Hi👋 I would love the best postcard Tia has made! Happy travels 💜
Great video, thanks guys. 😊
Great scenery. Have fun with your van life 😊🚐
America is really beautiful. I had no idea.
What an amazing part of the world. You're fairly close to Death Valley.....maybe check out Cerro Gordo, the silver mining 'ghost town', inhabited by youtuber, adventurer and author Brent Underwood. An amazing guy in a fascinating place!
Wow, different aspects of Americo indeed! 😊 thanks...
Thanks for showing us a little section of the US. Looking forward to seeing more! 😊💜🤩
Would love to be the lucky winner of one of your stunning postcards. Honestly I think they get better and better each time. One day I may be lucky enough. 😊
It would be a pleasure to showcase your beautiful postcard in my office along with some of my own drawings of my travels. WOW it’s stunning! Safe travels 👏🚐🌵🏜️❤️👍
Love the scenary ❤
The rock formations look gorgeous. Reminds me a little of Hampi in India.
Love you guys , you are so real
Can´t wait to follow along on this trip. From what I saw of the Route66-videos, it´s going to be a fun way to learn more about the less highprofile sights of the US, maybe? And I really like that.
That’s going to be the goal, though occasionally we will dip into the famous spots 😊

Wonderful upload it cannot get any hearing that song ' soldier' by particle house , perfect desert settin where the mojave , colorado and sonora deserts converged
petrol pumps do show advertisements also in Finland while you're filling and I think in pretty much all of Europe
I can only dream of doing what you guys do and hopefully one day my dreams might come true, but in the meantime keep enjoying yourselves.
Pro tip: If you're pumping gas at a Chevron station and it plays a commercial; the second from the top button on the right hand row will mute it 🤙🏼
This is very helpful, thank you!
I love Joshua Tree! Surprised you guys haven't been there growing up so close. The desert flowers are so pretty at the moment, I was camping in Anza Borrego state park a couple of weeks ago (near San Diego) and it was so beautiful.
Enjoying seeing you doing van life. As always your post cards are amazing
Y'all are living my dream life! Love the video
Enjoyed the video & the stunning desert scenery, nice.
That final location was stunning to ‘van’ in and it was free 🎉
Hi from Australia
Love watching your videos, have inspired myself and my family for a route 66 trip one day!
Such gorgeous countryside
All your postcards are very very impressive Tia. wish i had your talent
In my opinion i don't think one is better than the rest
Love the post card. 💕
You guys are like the protein bars or youtube. Great scenery, brilliant editing, a cute couple and no BS. 😊
Great start with some funny moments! $3.77 for diesel doesn't seem too bad. The flowering cactus is very beautiful!
