      I think you should have taken Land Cruiser (Samson) as it can carry more storage, is more sophisticated than the Tacoma; 360 degree camera and turn assist and and a wider track which helps in snowy conditions. Moreover it’s also more comfortable !

    • @ExpeditionOverland
      @ExpeditionOverland  4 года назад +5

      @@maitreytelang2312 The only problem is that the Cruiser doesn't have inside living space. That is by far the most important thing on a trip like this. Rich and Ash are small, so the Tacoma is pretty comfy for them ;)

    Man every time I see overlanding video to Alaska it reminds me of the time where in 2014 I left Fort Wainwright to Chicago in a BMW not knowing that I was getting a small taste of overlanding. I’m can’t wait to get a truck or something to start my adventures.

    AMAZING!! There is something about the intro when Clay says “For our first ever Solo Series” and the circle Arrow in the Solo logo creates the “O” that really pumps me up for adventure!!
    I am active duty Military stationed
    In Korea (with no vehicle) and every week look forward to XO vids for that sense of exploration adventure that I want to do.
    There is no doubt @desktoglory was a great choice for this first Solo adventure. This series so far seems to really touch what an average adventurer (not that Ashley or Richard are average adventurers lol) can do....but delivered with the professional movie like quality and entertainment of an XO product! The Giordano’s amazing filming and storytelling with the Clay narrative is the perfect combination!! The episode really seems to relate to the average person (me!) that could just leave the house and explore with minimal preplanning and discover in abundance! Great work!!!

    I knew right away when the border crossing was brought up there would be an issue. As a Canadian that goes to the states often I feel that pain every single time. You'd think it would be easy to go back to your home country, but it never is. Coming back home to Canada is a nightmare.

    I've shipped my FJ from the U.S to Panama (back in 2014) and the exporting process was very smooth. However, importing the car into Panama was a bit of a hassle because the agents charged me the luxury vehicle import tax (23% being a 2010 vehicle).
    On November 2019, my wife and I shipped the FJ from Panama back to Florida (still had to pay more fees in Panama to export and lots of paperwork that only certified agents can do). In FL the importing process was nice and easy. Driving into Canada on December 21st, 2019, through the Buffalo border was also a very smooth process. Canadian officers were nice enough to even give me advise on where and how to register the FJ in Canada.
    So I think it all comes down to how moody the officer was feeling that day.
    Anyway, it is part of any overlanding adventure. Great they sorted it out.
