I’m not a tech person but hubby is. We’re both loving your journey. Not boring at all because we’re seeing what you’re experiencing and you guys are such a perfect match that everything works. We share your highs and lows. Thank you for all the hard work you put in with the filming and editing. Have a wonderful week adventuring and know that everyone is anxiously waiting for your next episode.
What do you mean that this week's video was a "bit of a boring one really"? I can assure you that it was far from boring and I spent most of the time wishing that you were my next door neighbours! Having two fun, highly likable people living next door is the best thing ever! Especially if they have a workshed full of tools that I could borrow any time! The house next door is up for sale and since you are already on the continent, just keep driving east until you reach the Japan sea, catch a boat and voila, just like that, you will be in Japan and all you have to do then is a 5 hour drive to the pacific coast and away we go! ....Coming back down to earth and being serious again, I'm glad you got the van fixed and I hope that it doesn't cause you any more trouble. That was an interesting video though! I wasn't joking about that!
How you two manage to keep your spirits up with all the van troubles is just amazing. Stunning scenery though. But sadly I have to wait till next Saturday for the next episode.
As an ex Sainsbury's driver and a Sprinter camper owner your videos appeal on every level and never disappoint. Myself and my wife travel all over europe in our ex police riot van and we too have had our fair share of "engine management light" disaster days but with a code reader and some twiddling and fiddling we've always got home and I'm sure with your perseverance and John's foam packed tool kit you'll be fine. Keep up the great work and safe travels. All the best Si & Ali xx
What an amazing job you two are doing truly inspirational to watch making the most of life and that’s what it’s all about, can’t get enough of that tool hunting 😂
Lets be honest, you were bound to have a breakdown going all that way with John! And the van was at risk too 😂 another great video. Thanks again for making Saturday's special xx
Your videos go by so fast. There isn’t a single boring millisecond in them. I’ve been waiting to see what issues crop up to see how the van has coped and how well matched your preparations are for the conditions, that’s all part of the expedition! Loved it when the snow chains came out! 🎉❤
Not at all boring True Blues! Great content. Keep it coming🎉 and well done for shouting out the garages and engineers who worked on your beauty beast mercedes ❤
Not boring at all, still fabulous drone pictures and lovely words from Jess at the beginning. I'm impressed with how you think through the next steps to resolve the van issues. Bring on Sweden ❤💙
The most important thing to pack on a trip like this is a Jon, his knowledge of mechanics and his endurance to work out in the cold make him a must pack essential. PS the scenery is great but over coming the mechanical issues is the most interesting for me sat at home in Blighty.
You two and the possibility of being boring will never happen! You show the reality of van life and travelling in all it’s glory, the good, the bad and the ugly - so don’t change the way or content you film, and allow us to see it, as I think you’ve definitely nailed it ♥️. Although I might have to go back to watching your videos on my own, as straight after watching this weeks my husband felt the need to describe in detail about the engine fault you’d found and what that part does etc etc 😩 😂. Hope you still got to enjoy the Arctic Circle, happy travels and see you next week ❤ Xx
You guys are as mad as a box of frogs on LSD, but you are also such a fantastic couple with adventure running through your veins. You wouldn't get me driving up to the Arctic circle in a million years, but I'm so glad that you have and have shared your adventure with us, and have given us yet another brilliant vlog. Stay safe guys, I want to see you survive this and give us many more adventure vlogs for a long time to come. Your videos of the scenery this time round were absolutely first class.
Actually, a most excellent watch. The reality of travel. These things happen. How you deal with them is the mark of the man, or indeed, the woman. Top marks, both. I do hope Jess realises how lucky she is having a Masterchef on board, as well as a master mechanic. Privileged, in fact. Well deserving of pancakes for dessert. I was going to say most excellent, again. But this was worthy of a 'truly superb '. Onwards. Safe, and happy travels 👍
You guys are totally awesome. Glad the van is playing nice again. The content is marvellous, I'm enjoying every minute. Loving the editing too, you're getting so good at this.
Its certainly been an adventure for you the last couple of days. It's not been boring Jon, it just proves even with all precautions and all bases covered for a trip like this, things can still go wrong and more than anything, you kept your spirits up and didnt let anything get you down.
Oh you kids ! Not boring at ALL ! We're riding on your coat tails on this journey and, we will, like you, take the rough with the smooth, forever being thankful we're sat in the warm watching you 😉 I expect at least one " Hurdy burdy scurdy" from Jon (Swiss chef from the Muppets) Onwards and upwards guys 😘
My family and I love your channel, you are one of my 12year old daughters favorite channels, thanks for documenting all the mechanical issues you guys are haveing, we have a 2012 VW Crafer Campervan that has done 180,000 miles and watching you guys just getting on with it and fixing the problem is an insparation to us all, its all part of the adventure.
What a little legend!! That’s so sweet thank you. You’re absolutely right it’s just part of the adventure and we always say the bad bits make to good bits that much sweeter! 💙💙💙 all the best for your adventures guys
Nothing in your videos is boring, i love catching up on your adventure over breakfast on a Saturday morning. Stay safe, keep warm and look forward to Sweden
So after 4 months you knew what you were signing up for....? 🤔 And now 13 years later you are wondering why didnt I take heed..... 🤭 Well were all glad you stuck with it... Wow, thats a compliment from me 😉 And Jon, its a good job she didn't offer them pancakes to the mechanic...😳
Jess should get sea sick bands (acupuncture for the wrists)), just put them on before any ferry or airplane trip. I use them all them instead on mediaction... work when you need them! (Mine is called Sea Band, comes in pair, one for each wrist)
Jon should be an ambassador to gettin Biltema to the UK 🤣 Sux to the max that the ol sprinter van is so angery, but happy to see how many fine folks are rdy to help (intermittent faults on every semi modern car suuux) In good or bad times, it is soo nice & genuine for you to show the good times & bad times + how kind us fellow Scandinavians are rdy to help. May your journey be smooth & may you enjoy Norway & Sweden......pssst i know we a smol country..but check out Denmark at some point....cheers 👍
Wow! You two have the most indomitable spirit! And this certainly wasn't boring.... you guys never are. It may have been for you, but not for us. You make my Saturdays! Stay safe and adventurous.
Stunning scenery, we also didn’t know about the arctic circle so thanks for the education lesson 👍. Really glad you got the engine fixed, it’s great when people double over backwards to help you, fingers crossed that’s it now and you can relax and enjoy the rest of your trip. As many others have said, it’s far from boring, this is exactly what we like to watch, it shows it’s not all about nice parkups and views.
I stumbled on you at the beginning of your build for this trip, I was thinking what are these clowns doing…. You quickly became our Saturday morning ritual. You’re following your dreams and it’s great to follow you overcome everything to have a great adventure. We wish you all the luck.
For your sea sickness get pressure point wrist bands, small tight bands that sit two finger width from your wrist, flying sickness, boat sickness. All motion sickness.
I guess it adds to the adventure….John is just the bloke you need though. I’d have been in full on rage and panic mode if I broke down. Me and the missus would have buried each other in the snow I reckon. Thanks for the video.
Makes the good bits all the sweeter I say 😊 Don’t tell him but I’m very lucky to have him 💙 he might be a royal pain in the but, but he’s very clever, handy and cool under pressure 💙
The cinematography (hope that’s the right word!) of your videos is stunning ! Proper entertainment. Keep ‘em coming please. Good luck with your journey. 👍
Your filmography is fantastic and it helps with the beautiful location you are in...echoing other comments, this wasn't boring, people connect with you so enjoy seeing the reality as well as the good times
😂😂 PMSL we’ve only got that because Jons mum got it in her shopping as a substitute and gave it to us because she didn’t want it 😂😂 we’re home brand people normally 😂😂 it was beautiful though 👌
EGR Blank Pros: More power, better fuel economy and engine oil will last longer, Cons: Takes longer for the engine to warm up, can't think of anything else. What an epic journey you guys are on.
Your Videos are still enjoyable....not boring at all. I love the scenery,,,thank you for taking us on your journey.... Im watching this from the comfort of my warm bed......got a stinking cold after my trip to Portugal....so feeling sorry for myself.. Roll on next saturday.....for more adventures,,,keep safe and warm..Eileen
Glad to hear your all tucked up Eileen but sorry your feeling under the weather, I hope you had a lovely time away with the family and I’m sure the grandkids kept you on your toes 😁💙
@@truebluetravellers thank you for taking the time to reply....they did keep me busy....which I loved so much. Lots of lovely walks with my daughter Julie and their 2 little puppies." Sushi and Custard" hope the names made you both laugh......look after each other...thank you again...Eileen
Thank you for your honest reflection of van life. Looks very unforgiving there but must be epic. I would never cope as have a fear of walking on ice. I have shoe grips which are the best thing when wintry weather strikes. Just pop them over your boots and of you go. Like snow chains for shoes.lol
Thanks for coming along with us 💙 someone mentioned they sell them in lots of shop here so need to check those bad boys out, seen lots of people with shoes that are a bit like running spikes too!
20:16 YES John ,that is a great feeling. I have done everything possible and missed nothing . Sometimes things happen beyond our control .That's why it is an adventure .
Not boring! Every day is a school day. So glad that you got the van fixed and can continue your adventure. Considering the external temperatures, the inside looks toasty with Jess in her pj’s. Anyway, safe travels, thanks for yet another great episode.
After you broke down once, I thought why doesn't Jon have one of those OBD scanners to see where the fault is. Now I see you have got one. With your skills you could save a fortune on a breakdown fixing it yourself. Good job.
Thanks mate, I was asking myself the same question how I never took one with me but I’ve never had any breakdowns on the road really and just didn’t even think, lesson learned for sure 👍
Was that a shoutout for me at the end? I had to rewind twice to check. I’m sure it was for another Pete Griffiths. Coincidentally I am under the weather at the moment, so it was welcome. Love your videos. ❤
Hope you’re feeling better soon mate, there’s a few well wishers in the comments too 💙 you’ve got a lovely wife and friend too mate. Sending lots of love 💙
So awesome you made it to the Arctic Circle. It's beautiful ... loved all the footage. Boring? Not at all it was fun watching from my couch.😂😂 I have to say it was quite an adventure and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It was funny it was adventurous and it had me on the edge of my seat a couple times cause I was really worried for you. Great find on the legendary mechanic Jess. And John you're my hero getting out in the cold and doing your best to get her going. Good job mate! Looking forward to the next adventure ... you all stay safe and stay warm! Much Aloha! 🥶🥶🥶🤙🌈💖🥰
Stunning, Stunning, Stunning. Lets hope the van behaves its self 🤞🤞. Ive loved the Norway scenery. Lets hope you see some aurora borealis. That will be magical. 🤞🤞 Good Luck on the next part of the trip.
Blinkin EGR! Absolute junk of a thing. Be DPF next. Delete the lot, addblu and cat. It’s always fun when someone else breakdown but not so much when it’s you eh. Your doing awesome, onward 🏆🏆🏆
I think showing the bad bits as well as the good bits is a winner. It’s like looking at influencers without the filter. Thanks and I can’t wait for next week.
Your intro B roll and music! You must and should be so proud of the intro! Any Hollywood blockbuster would be proud ❤ As usual an epic episode of top notch content, incredible editing and wonderful company 🙌
Was a full Tool Tuesday episode!! Well your lucky u didn't go Scotland this week with the snowfall.. Hopefully Sweden is epic once I've kicked this Cancer & Chemo it's 1 place I want to visit.!! P.s jess has some great looking pancakes drop of honey & sugar ontop enjoy Jonnyboy!!
I have one complaint! 1 vlog a week isn’t enough for me and my other half, we watch then when it finishes, look at each other and go awwww lol. Stay safe both xx

What a lovely comment this is and we'll deserved.
How you two manage to keep your spirits up with all the van troubles is just amazing. Stunning scenery though. But sadly I have to wait till next Saturday for the next episode.
Thanks Clive, it got us a bit worried when it didn’t start but I suppose it’s all part of the adventure 😁😁
Totally agree..roll on next Saturday

Thanks guys, hopefully we will bump into you on the road one day in the beauty sprinter, both with no management lights on 😂😁👍
The slide out from underneath made me laugh so much, love to see how positive you guys stay even with all the challenges you face!
😂😂 me too he’s such a dope! Lucky he stopped mind, it was so slippy you slid around just standing still never felt anything like it!
What an amazing job you two are doing truly inspirational to watch making the most of life and that’s what it’s all about, can’t get enough of that tool hunting 😂
What a lovely thing to say thank you 💙
Good luck Pete Griffith...
No idea who you are lol but..
Good luck 😂
😂😂😂
Lets be honest, you were bound to have a breakdown going all that way with John!
And the van was at risk too 😂 another great video. Thanks again for making Saturday's special xx
😂😂😂 there’s a risk of that living with him any day let alone in a 3x2 m box in the Arctic 😂😂 thanks very much 💙
That intro was absolutely mesmerizing
Glad you enjoyed it, we loved making it 💙💙
Your videos go by so fast. There isn’t a single boring millisecond in them. I’ve been waiting to see what issues crop up to see how the van has coped and how well matched your preparations are for the conditions, that’s all part of the expedition! Loved it when the snow chains came out! 🎉❤
Oh Denise 💙 you’re always so kind 🥰 thanks so much we really appreciate all your support 💙

Safe, and happy travels 👍
That’s ever so nice of you to say thank you 💙 he might be a pain in the ass but he’s a handy one to have around, even if all he can cook is toast!
Great music selection and editing! Jess I presume?
Thanks Mark we both do it, but I do tend to do the fiddly bits 😊
Your editing is awesome, your lifestyle is even better
😂😂😂 thanks 😁💙
You guys are totally awesome. Glad the van is playing nice again. The content is marvellous, I'm enjoying every minute. Loving the editing too, you're getting so good at this.
Thanks very much mate, fingers crossed the van is still going strong so hopefully that’s the end of that
I’d 100% buy Jon’s cookbook. Especially if it includes instructions like “insert your wooden spoon into your drill and stir, vigorously”
Ps, the window vac is epic, I know it’s what people say but, it’s actually improved my life significantly ❤ thank you!
@@Toastybear1glad you like it mate
😂😂😂 Brilliant

Thanks so much Allan, that’s kind of you to say 💙 we are good at keeping each other calm in times like this, we’re very lucky 💙
Oh you kids !
Not boring at ALL ! We're riding on your coat tails on this journey and, we will, like you, take the rough with the smooth, forever being thankful we're sat in the warm watching you 😉
I expect at least one " Hurdy burdy scurdy" from Jon (Swiss chef from the Muppets)
Onwards and upwards guys 😘
🥰😂 thanks so much that’s so lovely 💙
You could never say boring as it's just one adventure after another. All in beautiful scenery
Really appreciate that thanks Linda 💙
My family and I love your channel, you are one of my 12year old daughters favorite channels, thanks for documenting all the mechanical issues you guys are haveing, we have a 2012 VW Crafer Campervan that has done 180,000 miles and watching you guys just getting on with it and fixing the problem is an insparation to us all, its all part of the adventure.

Great video. Nice to see a good honest video showing the problems as well as the highlights. Keep it up guys. 👍
Thanks Mate 👍👍
Did the mechanic get the pancakes 😂😂
😂😂 they got one each
@@truebluetravellers 😂😂. Brilliant video as always 👍👍
Nothing in your videos is boring, i love catching up on your adventure over breakfast on a Saturday morning. Stay safe, keep warm and look forward to Sweden

Great update. Stunning scenery, great video editing and music choices ❤👍🇬🇧
Thanks ever so much 😀💙💙
Jess should get sea sick bands (acupuncture for the wrists)), just put them on before any ferry or airplane trip. I use them all them instead on mediaction... work when you need them! (Mine is called Sea Band, comes in pair, one for each wrist)
Thanks so much thank you, I’ll order some now 💙💙
It's not boring at all, it's actually really interesting. Glad your making progress and loving those drone shots 😍
That’s so lovely to hear thank you 💙
Not that I don’t usually love your videos, but the start of this one was particularly beautifully cinematic!
It was breathtaking wasn’t it? 😮
Thanks so much, we had lots of fun making it so glad you enjoyed it 🥰
It doesn’t matter where you go or what your doing we all just love watching you guys
Thanks very much mate 👍👍
Within the 1st 30 seconds. I could already tell this video was going to be absolutely epic
Thanks so much Gavin 😍
That was a great episode! Overcoming problems and carrying on is what it’s all about. Hope next week is better for you both. Love the channel.
Thanks very much 😁👍
Jon should be an ambassador to gettin Biltema to the UK 🤣
Sux to the max that the ol sprinter van is so angery, but happy to see how many fine folks are rdy to help (intermittent faults on every semi modern car suuux)
In good or bad times, it is soo nice & genuine for you to show the good times & bad times + how kind us fellow Scandinavians are rdy to help.
May your journey be smooth & may you enjoy Norway & Sweden......pssst i know we a smol country..but check out Denmark at some point....cheers 👍

You guys have become my favourite blog!! I love your positivity on what could be a negative situation!! Well done!! Keep going and have fun!!❤❤
Thanks mate, much appreciated 💙
Jon’s breakfast is inspirational, forget his mechanical skills, he’s a right little Jamie Oliver, he spoils you Jess 👌 lucky girl 😉
😂😂😂 PMSL read him this and he said “I’m glad some one can recognise my genius”
Not Boring at all !! EGR Valve is the bane of our van life 😂
Thanks so much mate, bloody nightmare aren’t they!
Solution....marry a mechanic 😅. Really enjoying this content guys. Even my better half will watch this RUclips channel.
He comes in handy for sure 😂 oh that’s lovely to hear thanks 💙
Bought one of those big snow shovels 6 years ago, never had enough snow to use it yet😅
😂😂😂
best wishes to all of you, all the best for 2024
there is nothing boring when we see you both on the screen
That’s so lovely of you to say thank you, hope you have a great 24 too!
Absolutely wonderful, sorry about the car troubles, love your high spirits 👏🏻🥰🇬🇧
Thanks very much 😁👍
Good to see you are a gentleman of exceptional refinement using the nicest butter in the world, President, at 5:28.
😂😂 PMSL we’ve only got that because Jons mum got it in her shopping as a substitute and gave it to us because she didn’t want it 😂😂 we’re home brand people normally 😂😂 it was beautiful though 👌
Jess, you came out of that shop with the biggest 'Tool' 😂😂😂. But you wouldn't swap him for the world ❤
😂😂😂 Brilliant… and accurate. Don’t tell him but not for anything 💙
Got sick once on a 60 minute car journey. I was driving. I had to stop 15 minutes from home and rest for 20 minutes before I could drive home 😂
😂😂😂👍
It's the side of van life we needed to see. Thanks for much for sharing.
It’s all part of the adventure 💙 thanks so watching 😁
You should have titled this WD40- the miracle from heaven!😂
😂😂😂 so true
Now thats what i call hard core! Riding a push bike in snow and ice in - 25c temps... Bravo Sir, you madman!
I don’t know how they keep them up right!! Thanks mate 💙
@@truebluetravellers definitely takes some doing dont it... Keep on doing what you're doing you two 🙏🏽
EGR Blank Pros: More power, better fuel economy and engine oil will last longer,
Cons: Takes longer for the engine to warm up, can't think of anything else.
What an epic journey you guys are on.
Excellent analysis, Jess reckons they are like an appendix!!! Thanks very much mate 👍
You guys are actually living the dream 😊
Thanks so much mate, we try not to take it for granted 💙

Do not let technology ruin your travel spirit 💪
Thanks very much 💙
Why do I feel this video was actually enjoyable for John as he got to play with tools ??? 😂
Just catching up again on your videos on me nights.
😂😂😂😂 I do wonder sometimes weather he enjoys this kind of thing 🤦♀️🤷♀️😂
Struth, i spy with my little eye, something beginning with Globel Warming. Wer'e doomed. 😅😅😅

Aww man the highs and lows in this week's video had the wife and I gripped!
Can't wait for the next video.
Safe travels J & J 👍
That’s so lovely, so glad you enjoyed it 💙 thanks 😊

😂😂💙 because Jon offends everyone every 2 minutes 😂😂 thanks so much mate that’s kind of you to say
20:16 YES John ,that is a great feeling. I have done everything possible and missed nothing . Sometimes things happen beyond our control .That's why it is an adventure .
So true and such a relief 👍💙
Not boring! Every day is a school day. So glad that you got the van fixed and can continue your adventure. Considering the external temperatures, the inside looks toasty with Jess in her pj’s. Anyway, safe travels, thanks for yet another great episode.
Thanks mate, toasty 21.5 inside thank god as I think it wouldn’t be too enjoyable otherwise 😁👍👍
No disappointment here, always great to watch your outings.
Thanks mate 👍
One word Jess, Dramamine. 😁
😂😂👍
Fabulous dahling, just fabulous...!
😂💙 thanks
I didn't find that boring, kind of interesting all that engine management stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍 thanks for watching 💙
After you broke down once, I thought why doesn't Jon have one of those OBD scanners to see where the fault is. Now I see you have got one. With your skills you could save a fortune on a breakdown fixing it yourself. Good job.
Thanks mate, I was asking myself the same question how I never took one with me but I’ve never had any breakdowns on the road really and just didn’t even think, lesson learned for sure 👍
Gosh what a trip, car electronics a nightmare, enjoy Sweden it's beautiful, love from Lancashire
Bloody electrics!!! Thanks so much can’t wait to see all it has in store 💙
What a lovely couple. Your videos are the best on you tube.
Thanks very much 😁💙💙
Was that a shoutout for me at the end? I had to rewind twice to check. I’m sure it was for another Pete Griffiths. Coincidentally I am under the weather at the moment, so it was welcome. Love your videos. ❤
Hope you’re feeling better soon mate, there’s a few well wishers in the comments too 💙 you’ve got a lovely wife and friend too mate. Sending lots of love 💙
So awesome you made it to the Arctic Circle. It's beautiful ... loved all the footage. Boring? Not at all it was fun watching from my couch.😂😂 I have to say it was quite an adventure and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It was funny it was adventurous and it had me on the edge of my seat a couple times cause I was really worried for you. Great find on the legendary mechanic Jess. And John you're my hero getting out in the cold and doing your best to get her going. Good job mate! Looking forward to the next adventure ... you all stay safe and stay warm! Much Aloha! 🥶🥶🥶🤙🌈💖🥰
Thanks very much, so glad it’s all running good again and hopefully that’s all the bad luck out of the way 😁🤞💙
Stunning, Stunning, Stunning. Lets hope the van behaves its self 🤞🤞. Ive loved the Norway scenery. Lets hope you see some aurora borealis. That will be magical. 🤞🤞 Good Luck on the next part of the trip.
Thanks so much, no northern lights yet but we did get treated to see some sun dog clouds the other day absolutely magic 💙
The ups and downs of van life! Still found the video enjoyable 💙
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks very much 💙
Blinkin EGR! Absolute junk of a thing. Be DPF next. Delete the lot, addblu and cat. It’s always fun when someone else breakdown but not so much when it’s you eh. Your doing awesome, onward 🏆🏆🏆
Agreed! Rubbish the lot of them!!Luckily it doesn’t have add blue otherwise that would defo go wrong. Thanks mate
I think showing the bad bits as well as the good bits is a winner. It’s like looking at influencers without the filter.
Thanks and I can’t wait for next week.
Cheers mate 👍👍
Your intro B roll and music! You must and should be so proud of the intro! Any Hollywood blockbuster would be proud ❤
As usual an epic episode of top notch content, incredible editing and wonderful company 🙌
