    I just want to say thank you and enjoy it. I'm 51 years old with stage 4 esophageal cancer. I have always wanted to see Alaska, God has blessed me greatly, I was given 12-14 months to live in August 2019,I'm still here! I no longer have a stomach, esophagus, or gallbladder but I'm gaining everyday. Maybe someday I'll see you up there. Until then thank you for showing me the back country beauty! God lives!

    I’ve said it before and will say again. You are a big reason why I up rooted my family and moved to Alaska. In fact I’m building (rebuilding) a 1970 truck camper and working over a 2008 GMC 2500 to haul it so we can go see some of the amazing places you’ve already taken us through your channel. Hopefully we will cross paths eventually in this big beautiful state. Your channel is incredible and you are a real stand up guy. Keep on trucking!!!!!

  • @terryqueen3233
    @terryqueen3233 Год назад +2

    Before I settle down into Ellijay I did some of what you done except at that time they didn't have any RUclips so mine couldn't be filmed I guess it could have but anyway I walked across the United States and and walk to every state in the lower 48 and basically only my mom knew and my dad. I didn't tell any media nor did I do it for money but I did fulfill a lot of my dreams just in a different way. As long as you're happy do what you want to do when you want to do it and if you can make money at it at the same time go for it. Y'all think about it now. Stay vigilant!

Now you are taking us along with you on your adventures. Most of us won't experience the things you have and do the things you continue to do. But, somehow we do it through you. Thanks so much to you and thanks to your dad for lighting a spark.

    I actually found your channel organically. Your truck was parked outside of 11th Street Station in Durango, Colorado and I saw your RUclips sticker that said, "Truck House Life"... I went back inside and immediately looked you up and have been hooked ever since! I've shown my parents, siblings, and friends your videos and we sometimes all sit around and watch them together. Get after it and can't wait to see what your future holds!!
