As a long haul trucker from Canada that crosses the borders a few times a month I have a few pointers. Never volunteer info. Listen to the questions and answer only the question. Your lucky the didn't ask about the booze because if you had over the maximum allowable which it sounded like you did. They would fine you if you misrepresented the amount and they checked. If you tell the exact amount and your over what's allowed, you will be assessed duty fees which on alcohol is more than its worth. Firearms is a yes or no answer that is it! I found out the hard way when I jokingly said when asked if I had any firearms, what do you need. That's was 7 hours I'll never get back. Also you're lucky they didn't know you were filming, they would've made you delete that footage. Being polite goes a long way but again no need to elaborate on anything. Hope you enjoyed Canada. Love your videos. Be Well and travel safe.
I couldn't agree more. We drive across in a car and I threaten everyone to not speak unless spoken to. Short answers, to the point and don't bother trying to be funny. The idea is to get through quickly and the more someone talks, the more likely your trip will be delayed.
In regards to our crossing video too many of you out there are on edge, seriously this was an in-the-moment video. To answer a few of the legitimate questions here you go: Squeaks - The microphone we were using only has "auto" volume, so when we point it forward it picks up EVERY tiny squeak! The RV does squeak a bit, but not as bad as it sounds! RV Updates - We'll have updates on the RV coming soon. 001 - Yes, this is episode 001 and we plan to share as often as we experience something awesome. We will document and share in this "unproduced" real style video series. Agent asks: You're from TX are you SURE you don't have guns (major stererotype joke coming from him)? Me (also jokingly) says "No, I'm a Democrat". It's a joke people, I don't care if you're a republican, a liberal or gun owner, please keep your negative comments to yourself they are not helpful for anyone. For the few that claim "I've unsubscribed because you're a democrat"....wow...and that's all i have to say about that. Thank you to all the people that realized this is a "real life" video and casual jokes about being "just bloggers", "democrats" and "popular" was just that, a joke. The point of this video was to share our experience crossing the border to help others.
Personally I find all your vids fun and informative. And life is too short for being too serious. Keep up the great work, throw in as much humour as you like :-) You were nervous, it was your first time, you showed this and you showed there was nothing to be worried about... Now, you're known as notorious booze smugglers... you should get some wanted posters printed up ;)
Mr. Jason, you were making me nervous, watching your cute anxiety!! Miss Nikki, could you be any more chill....well, I guess if you were Cleo! Loved it......especially, when the BP asked Jason, "Why do you have it then?" #Fleetwood Mr. Jason so humble...you should said, "Sir, we're the Wynn's....did you want our autographs, eh?" hehehe - I bet he checked out your site later. ;-) Have fun and be safe in that foreign land, eh!
As a Canadian who grew up with a bunch of Southerners it always makes me smile to hear the "sirs" and "ma'ams" when talking to an elder or authority figure. But then I grin at myself because I've caught myself doing it, too.
LOL I spent less than 30 seconds at the window yesterday. Officer: "Whats your license plate number" Me: "I dont know can I go see it" Officer: "I don't care."
Bearkat4160: I just found this channel and love travel videos up north. But, why did they have to say, "Democrats..."? As if Democrats are all anti-gun. Anyway, that comment really turned me off. It showed the polarization of parties with a sanctimonious and self-righteous attitude.
Finally we found you guys ! Going to Alaska . What a great adventure that can be . We are so excited to watch this Alaska series from episode one all the way to the end as you take us through this epic journey . God's speed .
Leaving the US is easy, it's going to be coming home that will be the time to get nervous. I'll be anxious to hear of your experience in the coming months as you head home.
Wow, you guys did alright... Chris from Chris Travels just crossed over into Canada a few days ago and his rig got searched. I think the guy broke his air conditioner vent in the bed room.. Good luck..
The unscripted, or "unproduced" style as you called it is a refreshing look at the Wynns. It's the one thing missing from an otherwise stellar video cast. Outtakes or bloopers now and then would be fun as well!.
easy smooth border crossing. chris travels had a 45 minute inspection throughout the whole rv at the canadian border. hope you do more vlogs about the trip.
Just a quick Thank You for this video. My Fiance is traveling down from Canada to the US. I know it might be a bit different, but for some reason I struggled to find a video that was just someone crossing the border and what happens. We were silly, but paranoid about full on searches and being detained for hours and whatever... because i guess normal people worry about irrational stuff like that. It's just a woman and 2 kids coming to see family, I'm sure it's not a big deal, but we've never done it and wondered what it was like. Thanks again!
ja ja ja, I feel for the Wynns. I don't care if you are Democrat or Replublican.... (i'm a replubican), but I really enjoy the fact that you are real people, real Americans sharing the best of our life as Amreican citizens. Mr. Wynn, you are my hero and seeing you under that big rig made me nervous, but you really came through for me. -- Thank you and I am sorry for the people who pay attention to the small pity details, instead of all you do...... thank you! Thank you! --- First time, newbies in this life.
Have watched many of your videos and really enjoy them, especially the food ones, as i love traveling and eating at cool places. LOL at the border agent throwing down the stereotype, and nice score on a free RV to test!
You guys are fantastic! Love your upgrades and all that you do and how you present your videos. Really happy for you having the booze and the cats with you still! Lol.
Make sure you stop at the ancient forest about 62 miles east of Prince George and 62 miles west of McBride in BC. It is very beautiful and I am lucky enough to live near to this area.
Iv'e been across the boarder many times. My experience is it is all about who you get at what ever line your in. Some are super nice others are pricks and send you over to the inspection station.
LOL... Sorry, but I got a kick out of you trying to put your seat belt back on at 5:29. It so reminded me of the movie RV when Robin Williams was putting on his seat belt in their RV... lol... Sorry, toooooo funnny : )
This is so strange, I was looking this up to see what it's like to cross the border because I am heading to Canada on May 21 and I've never entered as a driver or even an adult for that matter. Anyways, my point is that I'm heading over the border on May 21' 2016, exactly a year after this was posted! Haha thanks so much for this, it calmed my nerves a little
Some of you people need to get a life !!!!! Why try to spoil one of the best RV channels on You Tube by dragging in a bunch of politics ???? I belong to the Alaska Independence Party so could be mad and throw barbs at everyone !! Lighten up and remember why you came to this channel, to see two fine young people living their dream and sharing it for all to enjoy.
i completely agree with you, i know how to be legal thats not my problem in crossing, i have two issues. 1. i always travel with a firearm 2. i have a cat that can't get the required shots, because of he can't handle them. we all have our own requirements in life but taking advice from farts in the wind is not one of them.
boarding the cat is not an option, as i travel with 3 cats and a chihuahua, ( its not as bad as you might think,lol) they travel very well together and these guys have never been apart. as for ccw i can carry in just about all states and do . i am aware of what happened in Canada and how you lost your gun rights. something you probably will never get back. the topic of firearms in the hands of regular citizens is a hot topic in any country and its being beat to death in this country (USA) do i like to CC, not really, its a pain in the ass at times, 450$ in ccw insurance a year, having to know each state (i now use a phone app) law and where you can and can't carry, the list gose on, so you might ask yourself why bother, the answer is simple. as long as EVIL is present GOOD must triumph. just because one has a gun free society doesn't mean it murdered free. evil just uses a different tool, knife, club, hammer, shovel, long bow, mace, trebuchet, pots of boiled oil tipped over from high above. agreed the latter tools are not commonly used today. but i think you get my point. its not a issue of living in fear, but rather deciding if one is eather a victim or a Victor. i for one prefer not to be a victim (if i can help it). ty for your input. travel safe. and watch out for those trebuchet's.
I love the "What's your plate number?" question...."I know the car"...haha. Singa had it covered. Just remember, it's never fun to be invited to the secondary search area...and DON'T make any sudden moves towards the vehicle without their approval. haha.
I recently crossed the border into Montana and it was an awful experience :( I think I'm a pretty reliable looking person but they really grilled me. Always worth it when you get to the other side though!
I flinched at the "we're Democrats" remark. All Democrats can't be painted with the same brush. I vote Democrat but I am a Second Amendment kind of guy. I travel well armed and enjoy shooting sports. Loved the traveling cats scenes.
Coutts/Sweetgrass where you crossed is one of the more laid back places to cross. Crossing at the Windsor/Detroit tunnel would be a much more intense experience, especially in an RV (if your RV would even fit)
Woo hoo! You made it across. Looking forward to seeing your Alaskan Adventures. Dang... Fleetwood still owns your motorhome. I hoped they would let you keep it.
Hi Y'all, Nice videos. I'm from Quebec, Canada and I'm planning my solo trip to Alaska. Your videos help a lot. There is only one thing missing in your videos, and that is the dates, so that we can see what kind of temperature to expect. Thanks for your videos. Salut! Pierre
Welwellwell...I'm just taking a break from sailing videos, and checking on your RV vids. As it appears to me, sailing is so much more relaxing most of the time, there is no traffic coming the opposite road, there are no nails in tires. Phew! I am still checking on smaller RVs, since I can't afford a Catamaran *sniffle*.
welcome to Canada! We hope you enjoy your travels through our great province of Alberta. We live in Red Deer Alberta, about 90 minutes north of Calgary. But for a few days we are camping in our new to us 2012 Fleetwood Bounder at Jarvis Bay Provincial Park close to Sylvan Lake about 20 mins west of Red Deer. Have been following you for sometime and really interested in your work with Fleetwood. We wish you excellent and safe travels.
Great video! Alaska bound, you say? Hopefully you two will run into Chris and G from ChrisTravels! That would be totally awesome if you all met and filmed the meeting. Stay safe and be well!
I forgot to ask since I saw your video down in Florida earlier this year did you guys ever make it through Glacier National Park on your way up to Canada
Hey Wynns! Wow! After seeing all these comments After my comment on your comment (still with me?) I soooo do apologize. I never talk politics with people I like and I stepped over my own line of tolerance that I want people to have, and started an Alaskan Gold Rush of political hate. My bad. It's about RV'n. Fold up the steps and git rollin. Tom.
blugrasssful Thanks Tom, yea its pretty crazy how people sometimes get over one simple, meaningless comment. I guess that teaches me to shoot a real in the moment video :)
We did an RV trip a few years back from Alaska to Idaho, Utah, the northern part of the Grand Canyon, Nevada, and California (the whole shebang...Disney, beaches, the beautiful coastal highway, the Redwood forest), Oregon, and Washington. Then we hit the Cassiar Highway and headed home. I loved Canada, but then I've traveled through there a lot while growing up. It was a whirlwind month long trip, but well worth it with our kids. I certainly hope you guys have lots of fun on your way up here. Ignore the negativity it's not worth your time. Love your RUclips channel. Keep on being funny, sometimes silly and informative, I find it entertaining as do many others. We are in Anchorage if you make it to A-Town we would love to meet you...meeting new people is one of my favorite things!!!
Had the same feelings when I went across last year north of Glacier National Park. Have fun, travel careful, take lots of video. If you visit the visitor center in Banff, they will give you info on some nice places in the area. Just remember that they might have told the same thing to a thousand people before you. Don't forget to stop on the highway and get yourself a park pass. If you bypass the highway booth, you'll have to visit the above mentioned visitors center and get a pass.
A friend had just had radioactive treatment for her thyroid before an RV trip through Canada. Boy did she have some splaining to do over her HOT black tank. Nothing like setting off the Geiger counter at a border crossing.
A dental Xray will set off the machines at the border.A friend of mine had is truck impounded for 6 hours in Detriot because he went to the dentist that morning. Let him go eventually after they figured out he wasn't a terrorist.
Very interesting to see an American coming to Canada. The Canadian border agents ask a few more questions than I (a Canadian) experience going through the border to the US. Specifically regarding if you're going to work in Canada. Perhaps because you're travelling in a big RV? I've always found the Canadian border agents the worst, but as a Canadian, half of that is because they charge hefty taxes to bring items in (sometimes). The other half because they bother to ask about silly things (guns/alcohol/etc) that the US agents know there's no point in asking (because nobody with bad intentions is going to admit they have those). Been across so much I know the entire script. Passports. Citizenship: Canadian. Where do you live? Employment? Destination? Business/pleasure? Length of trip? I don't think I could be nervous crossing to the US if I tried... Unless they come up with a new script, LOL.
Lay off, I thought his response was very witty. By the way, gun ownership and political affiliation are a choice as Americans. I really appreciate the Wynns. Embrace our differences. That's what makes our country sooo special, individual freedom to exist as ourselves. Wooohooo!!
Love your videos. This was a great one. The cats are great. Keep up the positive attitude and the great videos. I am also very nervous at border crossings. My parents had a Fleetwood Excursion 33 and now have a 2015 Winnebago 40. My wife and I are still living thru my parents and U2. Someday we may get the guts to get a RV. We're still debating a 5th wheel ( as I already have a F350) or a motor-home. Will see. Enjoy !!!! PS - U have friends in Rhode Island !
How long of an actual drive is this from Texas? I live in the DFW area and we are actually planning on moving to Anchorage/Palmer by spring 2019. Debating if we should drive or just sell everything in Texas and just fly there.
"We're Democrats"... That explains why ordinary Alaskans who stopped to check on you shortly after you crossed the border into Alaska, (Episode 5), were labeled "stoners" and you reiterated a few times your distrust in their assistance. We Alaskans are grateful that people from the lower 48 want to come up and see our wonderful state. But we don't appreciate outsiders who come up here disrespecting us, our neighbors, our generosity and our way of life. If "We're Democrats" is supposed to imply you're somehow better people - live it.
Welcome to Canada. I feel the same crossing the boarder ever winter, even though we have not been delayed during the past 5 years. Much better than it used to be with US customs searching our rig or x-raying the entire thing. Looking for to all the video's over the next few months. We will be taking lots of notes for our trip in a few years.
Welcome to Alberta and to my neighborhood! If you haven't gone too far yet hang a left and hit Writing on Stone provincial park. Incredibly stunning. And feel free to ask for more tips from me about my backyard. Have spent a lot of time in the Rockies too and know of a lot of well kept secrets.
So proud to be Canadian! When you guys were driving up to the booth and I was listening to your fears I was not surprised given what I know people around these parts (I live in Houston) know about Canada. Now do me one favour - spread the word about the great people of Canada, who have manners!
Not serious on last comment.....but I truly hope you get/keep a side arm to protect your belongings and your family. Especially taking your lifestyle into consideration.
Did you guys get lost? crossing border make everyone nervous. We get that way going into U.S.A. and coming back home can also be nerve wrecking too. I'm amazed that they didn't ask about if you had any chicken product with you. We got asked if had any coming back into Canada. Easy as pie!
Nikki and Jason, how much do you actually use your car in Alaska, we are driving our 35 feet RV to Alaska and trying to decide if we really need tow our SUV.
That's such an individual thing. How much do you use your car now? Do you mind taking the RV every time you need to go somewhere? We used ours a lot, but that's just us.
I love how your cats always, always find a way to interject themselves into the videos. Some how, some way. Don't be so darn paranoid, you two have it made.

As a long haul trucker from Canada that crosses the borders a few times a month I have a few pointers. Never volunteer info. Listen to the questions and answer only the question.

Keep up the great work, throw in as much humour as you like :-)
You were nervous, it was your first time, you showed this and you showed there was nothing to be worried about...
Now, you're known as notorious booze smugglers... you should get some wanted posters printed up ;)
Unbelievable. That was obviously a fun exchange. I'd have done the same
Gone with the Wynns You got to keep these kids in line. Good job.
Mr. Jason, you were making me nervous, watching your cute anxiety!! Miss Nikki, could you be any more chill....well, I guess if you were Cleo! Loved it......especially, when the BP asked Jason, "Why do you have it then?" #Fleetwood Mr. Jason so humble...you should said, "Sir, we're the Wynn's....did you want our autographs, eh?" hehehe - I bet he checked out your site later. ;-)
Have fun and be safe in that foreign land, eh!
Gone with the Wynns Thanks for the positive support :)
I always wondered how the crossing was into Canada, thank you for showing us.
"No Sir, we're democrats"
I don't think he cared.
He didnt have a single fuck to give
LITERALLY NOT A SINGLE OR EVEN A HALF OF A SINGLE ONE
What a complete asshole! Like Republicans are the only ones with guns.
Will Ginter : WOW Democrat’s......probably laughed at you.....as we....
As a European this amuses me. A border is one of those roads with a big blue sign telling you which country you're about to cross into :P
That is because you have bent over and presented to offer up your sovereignty is exchange for immediate convenience. Weakling.
As a Canadian who grew up with a bunch of Southerners it always makes me smile to hear the "sirs" and "ma'ams" when talking to an elder or authority figure. But then I grin at myself because I've caught myself doing it, too.
“We’re democrats”
OBVIOUSLY
Are you traveling with any weapons? "no, we're democrats..." - Geez, what does it even mean?
Read their comment. They were joking around with stereotypes.
LOL I spent less than 30 seconds at the window yesterday. Officer: "Whats your license plate number" Me: "I dont know can I go see it" Officer: "I don't care."
I LOVE these more vloggy type videos from you guys!
"We're Democrats" Classic line! Like democrats don't own firearms. Lol, I know a lot of democrats who love their firearms. Anyway, great video.
Bearkat4160: I just found this channel and love travel videos up north. But, why did they have to say, "Democrats..."? As if Democrats are all anti-gun. Anyway, that comment really turned me off. It showed the polarization of parties with a sanctimonious and self-righteous attitude.
I was a Democrat when young and dumb; It gets better when you grow up.
Nothing to do with firearms, Liberals just like Trudeau. so they like that because they are dictorial
It pissed me off too! Things people say just to get a pass
@@jacksak It's funny because where they crossed into Canada, into Southern Alberta, is a very gun friendly region.
Best video to date. More real than anything else you guys uploaded.
Finally we found you guys ! Going to Alaska . What a great adventure that can be . We are so excited to watch this Alaska series from episode one all the way to the end as you take us through this epic journey . God's speed .
I'm sad you two have to look at that Ford emblem while driving, but I'm happy you get to test the coach. Thanks for sharing!
Jed
NDNomad Well, that's not very nice. :-P
I LOVE THE CAT!!!
CANT WAIT TO AEE THE NEXT ALASKA VIDEO JASON AND NIKKI!!! Happy travels!!
Leaving the US is easy, it's going to be coming home that will be the time to get nervous. I'll be anxious to hear of your experience in the coming months as you head home.
Are you still alive
Wow, you guys did alright... Chris from Chris Travels just crossed over into Canada a few days ago and his rig got searched. I think the guy broke his air conditioner vent in the bed room.. Good luck..
Very cool! Looking forward to this series!!
The unscripted, or "unproduced" style as you called it is a refreshing look at the Wynns. It's the one thing missing from an otherwise stellar video cast. Outtakes or bloopers now and then would be fun as well!.
watching this a few days after you folks got back to curiosity in fiji. how times have changed!
Welcome to Canada! Looking forward to seeing your Alaska review as I would like to do something like that.
Cheers, Patrick
Great video. Keep em coming. Waiting for 05...
easy smooth border crossing. chris travels had a 45 minute inspection throughout the whole rv at the canadian border. hope you do more vlogs about the trip.
Thoroughly enjoyed.I am not fortunate enough to travel to these places.But watching it is just like a trip made

Fun video! I have the same anxieties when crossing borders.
Love seeing you guys again,and love the hair color!
Can wait to hear your comparison of the gas to diesel fleetwood. Lots of noise in the gas compared to the quietness in the diesel in your videos.
Have watched many of your videos and really enjoy them, especially the food ones, as i love traveling and eating at cool places. LOL at the border agent throwing down the stereotype, and nice score on a free RV to test!
I don't see myself crossing the border in the foreseeable future but it is good to travel along with you. Thanks
You guys are fantastic! Love your upgrades and all that you do and how you present your videos. Really happy for you having the booze and the cats with you still! Lol.
welcome to our country!
Fun video, I get nervous, too, when I have to pass through customs! Can't wait to share this trip with you.
Make sure you stop at the ancient forest about 62 miles east of Prince George and 62 miles west of McBride in BC. It is very beautiful and I am lucky enough to live near to this area.

this is your job . testing this campers out. im jealous. that is awesome

"We're just bloggers."
Ahem, JUST bloggers?? You're THE Wynns!
This is so strange, I was looking this up to see what it's like to cross the border because I am heading to Canada on May 21 and I've never entered as a driver or even an adult for that matter. Anyways, my point is that I'm heading over the border on May 21' 2016, exactly a year after this was posted! Haha thanks so much for this, it calmed my nerves a little
Good luck! Happy travels! I'm going south in a few weeks, but I hope to visit our northern neighbor within the year, as well!
Good job at the border and good luck on the road... Be safe...

+Grantster2720 Thanks for the props, it's amazing how polarizing one simple joke can be.
+Gone with the Wynns Guess there are a lot of people that can't smile or joke in this world. Keep up the good (not) work :) :) :)
pffft, lol your just being sarcastic, right?
i completely agree with you, i know how to be legal thats not my problem in crossing, i have two issues. 1. i always travel with a firearm 2. i have a cat that can't get the required shots, because of he can't handle them. we all have our own requirements in life but taking advice from farts in the wind is not one of them.

Nice. Been waiting for this trip to start so I can keep up with you while on it
Great video. Look forward to seeing more in the near future. You two are so cute together. Hope to make that trip someday soon myself. Travel safe
Awesome video loved it awesome work guys keep it up.
I recently crossed the border into Montana and it was an awful experience :( I think I'm a pretty reliable looking person but they really grilled me. Always worth it when you get to the other side though!
Congrats to y'all from home!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I flinched at the "we're Democrats" remark. All Democrats can't be painted with the same brush. I vote Democrat but I am a Second Amendment kind of guy. I travel well armed and enjoy shooting sports. Loved the traveling cats scenes.
I love this! You guys are awesome!
Welcome to my backyard! We're being invaded, you two and Chris and G within a week!
Hey guys love your videos. U said u were testing the rv! Did u think the gas coach had enough power with the v10? Love to hear ur comments. Thanks.
Coutts/Sweetgrass where you crossed is one of the more laid back places to cross. Crossing at the Windsor/Detroit tunnel would be a much more intense experience, especially in an RV (if your RV would even fit)
I live in alaska looking to transit through canada, its alot more different times but hopefully its as smooth as that
Woo hoo! You made it across. Looking forward to seeing your Alaskan Adventures. Dang... Fleetwood still owns your motorhome. I hoped they would let you keep it.
Hi Y'all,
Nice videos. I'm from Quebec, Canada and I'm planning my solo trip to Alaska. Your videos help a lot.
There is only one thing missing in your videos, and that is the dates, so that we can see what kind of temperature to expect.
Thanks for your videos.
Salut!
Pierre
Welwellwell...I'm just taking a break from sailing videos, and checking on your RV vids. As it appears to me, sailing is so much more relaxing most of the time, there is no traffic coming the opposite road, there are no nails in tires. Phew! I am still checking on smaller RVs, since I can't afford a Catamaran *sniffle*.
welcome to Canada! We hope you enjoy your travels through our great province of Alberta. We live in Red Deer Alberta, about 90 minutes north of Calgary. But for a few days we are camping in our new to us 2012 Fleetwood Bounder at Jarvis Bay Provincial Park close to Sylvan Lake about 20 mins west of Red Deer. Have been following you for sometime and really interested in your work with Fleetwood. We wish you excellent and safe travels.
Great video! Alaska bound, you say? Hopefully you two will run into Chris and G from ChrisTravels! That would be totally awesome if you all met and filmed the meeting. Stay safe and be well!
I forgot to ask since I saw your video down in Florida earlier this year did you guys ever make it through Glacier National Park on your way up to Canada
Welcome to Canada! (I'm in Calgary)
Enjoy Banff, Louise and Jasper. Maybe stop in Canmore at the Grizzly Paw for a bevvy
fun. Any guns, you are from Texas! "No sir, we're Democrats!" LOL! And here you had me more worried about the cats and the hooch.
Hey Wynns! Wow! After seeing all these comments After my comment on your comment (still with me?) I soooo do apologize. I never talk politics with people I like and I stepped over my own line of tolerance that I want people to have, and started an Alaskan Gold Rush of political hate. My bad. It's about RV'n. Fold up the steps and git rollin. Tom.
blugrasssful Thanks Tom, yea its pretty crazy how people sometimes get over one simple, meaningless comment. I guess that teaches me to shoot a real in the moment video :)
QUESTION: Where in the US did you cross? Which station? I leave on the 23rd from TX and taking my dog with me. Just curious! Thanks!
Love your content guys :) What hwy did you take, or rather what part of the U.S. where you two crossing into Canada from?
- Cheers from Jersey!
We did an RV trip a few years back from Alaska to Idaho, Utah, the northern part of the Grand Canyon, Nevada, and California (the whole shebang...Disney, beaches, the beautiful coastal highway, the Redwood forest), Oregon, and Washington. Then we hit the Cassiar Highway and headed home. I loved Canada, but then I've traveled through there a lot while growing up. It was a whirlwind month long trip, but well worth it with our kids.
I certainly hope you guys have lots of fun on your way up here. Ignore the negativity it's not worth your time. Love your RUclips channel. Keep on being funny, sometimes silly and informative, I find it entertaining as do many others. We are in Anchorage if you make it to A-Town we would love to meet you...meeting new people is one of my favorite things!!!
I imagine your going to have some insane looking content in the weeks to come. Been wanting to go to Banff for a while now.
Had the same feelings when I went across last year north of Glacier National Park. Have fun, travel careful, take lots of video. If you visit the visitor center in Banff, they will give you info on some nice places in the area. Just remember that they might have told the same thing to a thousand people before you. Don't forget to stop on the highway and get yourself a park pass. If you bypass the highway booth, you'll have to visit the above mentioned visitors center and get a pass.
Ahhh you crossed at Coutts, about 100 miles SW of the British Army training area Suffield :)
A friend had just had radioactive treatment for her thyroid before an RV trip through Canada. Boy did she have some splaining to do over her HOT black tank. Nothing like setting off the Geiger counter at a border crossing.
A dental Xray will set off the machines at the border.A friend of mine had is truck impounded for 6 hours in Detriot because he went to the dentist that morning. Let him go eventually after they figured out he wasn't a terrorist.
Welcome to big sky country. I hope you enjoy your visit. Will you be touring east?
Steve & Nicole
Very interesting to see an American coming to Canada. The Canadian border agents ask a few more questions than I (a Canadian) experience going through the border to the US. Specifically regarding if you're going to work in Canada. Perhaps because you're travelling in a big RV? I've always found the Canadian border agents the worst, but as a Canadian, half of that is because they charge hefty taxes to bring items in (sometimes). The other half because they bother to ask about silly things (guns/alcohol/etc) that the US agents know there's no point in asking (because nobody with bad intentions is going to admit they have those).
Been across so much I know the entire script. Passports. Citizenship: Canadian. Where do you live? Employment? Destination? Business/pleasure? Length of trip?
I don't think I could be nervous crossing to the US if I tried... Unless they come up with a new script, LOL.
Lay off, I thought his response was very witty. By the way, gun ownership and political affiliation are a choice as Americans. I really appreciate the Wynns. Embrace our differences. That's what makes our country sooo special, individual freedom to exist as ourselves. Wooohooo!!
Love your videos. This was a great one. The cats are great. Keep up the positive attitude and the great videos. I am also very nervous at border crossings. My parents had a Fleetwood Excursion 33 and now have a 2015 Winnebago 40. My wife and I are still living thru my parents and U2. Someday we may get the guts to get a RV. We're still debating a 5th wheel ( as I already have a F350) or a motor-home. Will see. Enjoy !!!! PS - U have friends in Rhode Island !
Just wait till you come back across going into the states!
I have to say thats the fastest chk point ive seen them tear apart rv's u were very lucky.
+Red bear Alaska I saw them tear apart someone's dash because they found a bong.
Another well done piece.
A video about your impressions and any criticism of the Ford chassis and V-10 power would be much appreciated. Cheers
Much love from Calgary, Canada! And good choice on going to lake louise! It is beautiful, also kananaskis alberta is nice to.
How long of an actual drive is this from Texas? I live in the DFW area and we are actually planning on moving to Anchorage/Palmer by spring 2019. Debating if we should drive or just sell everything in Texas and just fly there.
"We're Democrats"... That explains why ordinary Alaskans who stopped to check on you shortly after you crossed the border into Alaska, (Episode 5), were labeled "stoners" and you reiterated a few times your distrust in their assistance. We Alaskans are grateful that people from the lower 48 want to come up and see our wonderful state. But we don't appreciate outsiders who come up here disrespecting us, our neighbors, our generosity and our way of life. If "We're Democrats" is supposed to imply you're somehow better people - live it.
Welcome to Canada. I feel the same crossing the boarder ever winter, even though we have not been delayed during the past 5 years. Much better than it used to be with US customs searching our rig or x-raying the entire thing. Looking for to all the video's over the next few months. We will be taking lots of notes for our trip in a few years.
I am going to be driving from Alaska to Arizona how long does it take to drive out of Canada
What blankets/covers are you guys using on the RV captain seats?
Welcome to Alberta and to my neighborhood! If you haven't gone too far yet hang a left and hit Writing on Stone provincial park. Incredibly stunning. And feel free to ask for more tips from me about my backyard. Have spent a lot of time in the Rockies too and know of a lot of well kept secrets.
The Cat surprised me, so cute :)
HE SHE IT in the RV
+Edward Lo His name is Singa :)
Hey easy, i didn't mean to say that. Easy easy
So proud to be Canadian! When you guys were driving up to the booth and I was listening to your fears I was not surprised given what I know people around these parts (I live in Houston) know about Canada. Now do me one favour - spread the word about the great people of Canada, who have manners!
Proceed to do vlogging while in Canada? Even though you said you wouldn't be doing any work in Canada.
Not serious on last comment.....but I truly hope you get/keep a side arm to protect your belongings and your family. Especially taking your lifestyle into consideration.
To protect belongings and your family? They're going TO Canada, not back into the U.S..
We are huge fans! Will you be passing through Calgary?
Did you guys get lost? crossing border make everyone nervous. We get that way going into U.S.A. and coming back home can also be nerve wrecking too. I'm amazed that they didn't ask about if you had any chicken product with you. We got asked if had any coming back into Canada. Easy as pie!
I think " SIR " made the crossing easy. 😊
What document needed through border if we bring our dog?
I love your videos, but this one makes me love you more. You guys rock!
+Carrie Mtn ahhhh, thanks :)
Were the millers
Nikki and Jason, how much do you actually use your car in Alaska, we are driving our 35 feet RV to Alaska and trying to decide if we really need tow our SUV.
That's such an individual thing. How much do you use your car now? Do you mind taking the RV every time you need to go somewhere? We used ours a lot, but that's just us.
Gone with the Wynns thanks a lot!
I just hope getting back in to the United States will be as easy. 😊
I love how your cats always, always find a way to interject themselves into the videos. Some how, some way. Don't be so darn paranoid, you two have it made.
