I do not know why X Overland has only 241k subs... they are amazing and we are following our dreams as well in the only way we know how..... I had to stop watching this so Mrs 0 can sit and watch this series with me.... X-Overland we love all of you, found you when we lived in Hawaii, sold everything we owned as well to move to AZ to start our adventure, covid hit us as well, and we have no company backing like you all... We adapted, and we are back in the planning stages .... We look forward to watch the series...
Fantastic video. Love to see family living outside. I'm about to hit the road for a year after house sells with wife and three kids too. I'm leaving my career after 16 years as a firefighter and Swat medic to live again and take back my life. Pandemic has been exhausting and I'm now choosing family first. This video had helped with more inspiration. Going from GA to Montana to Mexico. We are excited. Love what your company does. Inspires! Cheers and God bless.
These family inspired trips are so fun to watch. My daughters and I get out during the summer a lot. These videos make a great way to keep my girls engaged in our door travel and exploration while the cold and snow limits our ability to get out. We love watching them as we wind down and get ready for bed. My 3 year old constantly says "oh, I want to go to that place, will you take me there?" My only reply is ABSOLUTELY! Can't wait to see the croft family adventures, I know my girls and I will be watch for sure! Keep up the great work, and thanks for keeping the inspiration coming!
Seeing this now is surreal! when she said “day 247 of corona virus” i was like wow what a time skip. It didn’t even occur to me that it was a joke. It’s all flown by. On march 12th I totaled my Honda Civic so i called my boss the next day to let him know that I couldn’t come in and he told me that I didn’t have to worry everything was shut down. Since I was a junior in high school, I decided to work a tone of hours and now i have a 2003 4Runner with a tuff stuff alpha, a dometic cfx 75, a yeti 1000, and some solar. I’m completely prepared for the overland lifestyle now, but none of it would’ve happened with out corona. I guess for some people it stoped an adventure and for others it started one.
Summer 2020, my partner and I were slated to go to Germany for 21 days. Watching the pure heartbreak and frustration of the door being shut still hurts. But you guys made great lemonade out of lemons. We tried to as well, building a small cabin for ourselves. We never made it to Germany but we did make it to Iceland. 2025, we're going to Chile and Argentina come hell or high water.
been binging your videos for the last couple weeks. Yeah, I'm really late to the game. Crazy to relive 2020 and all that crazyness. Masking up to get groceries and having hand sanitizer everywhere. Heck, I remember even wiping down bottles with Clorox wipes in fear that the virus was on them. Me and my family caught the bug three times. Dad passed away during it (but not from it) and we couldn't even see him in the nursing home. Can't imagine the street that the Walthall's were feeling as their livelihood depended on travel.
Wow what an episode!! Corona has really screwed up plans for us all! Good to see you guys flow with the cards dealt. I hope you can still get the dream trip you’re wanting😊
I’ve watched this whole series! This is by far my favorite. So emotional. I know these guys were scared and heartbroken. Thankfully my job allows me to do as I please and I’m going to binge watch the whole series again today! I remember back in 2017 we sold almost everything we owned and was going to move from Amory, Mississippi to Driggs, Idaho. Already had jobs waiting on us when we got there. Me my wife(who was pregnant) and 3 kids. Unfortunately/Fortunately the solar eclipse came through in August and the guy we was going to rent a house from back out because he could make more money for those few days than in 3 months off me. I was upset. That was the only place that we found to rent. I had already put in my two weeks at my current job. At this point I was scared and didn’t know what to do so we called it all off. We have been camping and adventuring all over the north Mississippi and west Alabama. We are going to build us a 6x10 square drop camper to accommodate 6(in case of severe weather but mainly sleep 4 kids) and start our journey into the Appalachian and ozarks. Thank you for motivation! You’ve inspired many people and will continue to do so!
It's suck a bummer eh? I was planning on doing a mountain bike trip to Utah but that got killed pretty quick, so just like you guys I changed my plans and went to British Columbia! It was an unreal trip and Im really hoping the videos I shot will make for an incredible series! But they ain't going to be anything nearly as good as what you guys have been producing! Better than tv! Keep it up!
man...I feel them lol. So many feels with this video, it was SOOOOO hard for me to say goodbye to home on O'ahu. Miss it everyday. Some day I'll be living back on the islands...until then, Portland, OR, is home...for now haha.
In a world that appears to discourage the traditional organic family, it’s awesome to see families, husband and wives, with there kids, together! This is awesome! I love it! Good work you guys!
Great stuff. Totally jealous. Question: in the 1st or 2nd episode there was reference made to topping off the diesel for the heater. What kind of heater are you using? I have been looking for some kind of a heater solution for our RTT. Thanks, happy trails.
And another adventure starts !! Damn this stupid virus ... but even so, we have you guys to do a good video like this one ... I'm buying the quote from Patagonias founder ... well, LOL, I already did, just didn'y know there was a saying about it ... going wrong is my way !!! aahhahahahahahah ... just joking !! Off to see more !!! Thanks for all of your thank you's !! I really apreciate it !!! Cheers
Looking back at this thinking about how far Australia has fallen from grace since the start of Covid. This family was lucky not to end up going there. They would have more freedom trying to tour North Korea!
Wow. Just started this series, and knowing what I know now (in December 2020)...that they don’t...heart-wrenching! It’s going to be interesting to see how this family copes over the next plenty of months.
One thing no one ever talks about and i am hoping you will respond to this message with is Vehicle Insurance. How does that work? who do you use when in the mainland USA? I contacted Geico regarding my 2nd gen sequoia build and was told if i went a head with it they would drop me... Even though i am ok with paying for for the additional equipment.
@@ExpeditionOverland Thanks!!! I used to have them but Geico gave us a better rate. I would rather pay a little more and switch to have it all covered.
@@marijnkramer6897 I personally like rural places with a lot of trees and mountains. But still, I'm happy I went to Turkey, the scenery is incredible and people are lovely. Everything is cheap as - you know what.
Watching this in 2021 it is interesting looking back to the early days of COVID. You did an excellent job of showing that part of life

Thank you! We hope you get to adventure soon!
I love the message in the intro. Adventure, fun and memories do not seek you out. You must seek them out and create them, they don't just happen

So true! Well done and happy adventuring!
This is excellent content. Great stories about great families. Life is the adventure.

Wow. Amazing. Can’t wait to see more.
Happy you all never gave up. Adventure will always find a way!
WOW!! We just found this channel and boy are we ever glad we did!! Watched the last show first, and am now catching up from the beginning!! What fun!!
Thank you and we are so glad you enjoyed it!

Wow! Way to power through and we wish you all the best in your adventures!
I'm so jealous! This would be a dream of mine to travel with my family of 5.
This episode drew some tears of my eyes!😭😭
Wow! What an amazing episode! You have really caught our attention, again! We can’t wait to watch the rest of the adventure!
In waiting there is charm, in the family there is happiness! Regards from Costa Rica. 🖒😍
Oh, LOL guys! You credited the kids as "waffles" haha. Nice easter egg
Damn the quality is just amazing
Beautiful video, beautiful family. Love from INDIA
It's suck a bummer eh? I was planning on doing a mountain bike trip to Utah but that got killed pretty quick, so just like you guys I changed my plans and went to British Columbia!

My heart breaks seeing their faces as it deepens and reality sets in.
Really...... 🤣
In hindsight everything was perfect timing.
Stoked!
I went from 1st gen tundra reviews to this ...
☕☕☕ 3 cups later....Amazing
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
Incredible video
I feel so bad for them. Pretty heartbreaking
Anticipation prevails.
man...I feel them lol. So many feels with this video, it was SOOOOO hard for me to say goodbye to home on O'ahu. Miss it everyday. Some day I'll be living back on the islands...until then, Portland, OR, is home...for now haha.
I can’t wait to see more!

Shows well how this crisis got blown waaayy out of proportion...
Great stuff. Totally jealous. Question: in the 1st or 2nd episode there was reference made to topping off the diesel for the heater. What kind of heater are you using? I have been looking for some kind of a heater solution for our RTT. Thanks, happy trails.
Its a Webasto diesel heater that comes installed on the Patriot Campers. They work great!
Awesome build. The added weight must be at least 1000 pounds? I am assuming the suspension kit increases the total weight capacity?
And another adventure starts !! Damn this stupid virus ... but even so, we have you guys to do a good video like this one ... I'm buying the quote from Patagonias founder ... well, LOL, I already did, just didn'y know there was a saying about it ... going wrong is my way !!! aahhahahahahahah ... just joking !!
Off to see more !!! Thanks for all of your thank you's !! I really apreciate it !!! Cheers
Thank you for watching!
27:02 - Woah, hey now, lets keep the bedroom shenanigans private, I dont want to see what they do there! LOL!
Hope Chapel Maui!
Surely you guys are going to do the Victorian high country when you come to Australia
Looking back at this thinking about how far Australia has fallen from grace since the start of Covid. This family was lucky not to end up going there. They would have more freedom trying to tour North Korea!
Itʻs lifestyles like this that makes me wish I was a millionare....
I don't think they are. Listening to them talk about general tire being onboard I'm thinking it is done by mostly sponsors and not their own money.
Wow. Just started this series, and knowing what I know now (in December 2020)...that they don’t...heart-wrenching! It’s going to be interesting to see how this family copes over the next plenty of months.
Is PCOR going to introduce a system for the Tacoma?
We hope so!
One thing no one ever talks about and i am hoping you will respond to this message with is Vehicle Insurance. How does that work? who do you use when in the mainland USA? I contacted Geico regarding my 2nd gen sequoia build and was told if i went a head with it they would drop me... Even though i am ok with paying for for the additional equipment.
We use Progressive and are able to list built on items as 'permanently attached equipment' with a price for what its worth. Hope that helps!
@@ExpeditionOverland Thanks!!! I used to have them but Geico gave us a better rate. I would rather pay a little more and switch to have it all covered.
love from india
Watched this June 2021. The idea that we would shut things down for a couple months and then get back to normal didn’t age very well.
20:46 i just laughed so hard, now its 07/2023. it was a sad time in world history no matter what way you look at it
This so cool!!!! It sucks europe is so full of people... there are almost no “wild” parts of land...
Turkey has alot to offer i'd say. Best place in Europe i can think of. Unless you go to Russia of course.
@@MrFillefloe i don’t know if turkey is something for me..
@@marijnkramer6897 I personally like rural places with a lot of trees and mountains. But still, I'm happy I went to Turkey, the scenery is incredible and people are lovely. Everything is cheap as - you know what.
@@MrFillefloe then maby i should give it a chance as well
"Day 247 of coronavirus" if only...
Would happily leave my career as an SDE in WA to do the same. Hit me up. :). (edit: not sure my wife would agree, though. haha)
Fast forward almost 2 years later and Australia is still on lock down and is now a basically a prison state...
1%....... 😂
