I've personally crossed at Eagle Pass \ Piedras Negras twice in the last two years, at night, with zero issues. I can't vouch for Laredo, but for Piedras Negras and Mexico in general, the danger is incredibly overhyped.
I understand the nerves crossing into another country... but that seemed efficient and speedy. Good to know I'd Sandy and I ever decide to do a road trip!
You're approaching Mexico with California Dreamin on the radio, lol. The border crossing went smoothly for you, good choice to cross at Columbia. It didn't seem to take a lot of time with immigration either which makes your lives easier. Safe travels to Monterrey!
Thanks for the info. When you mentioned vehicle registration , are you talking about the car insurance for Mexico ? If so, I'm guessing you can get the Mexican car insurance and TIP document all at that border crossing right ?
Very interesting vid! I’m residente temporale so am allowed to bring my car into Mex for the duration of my residente, which is up to 4 years. Everyone says Columbia is the best if you are coming from Texas but I am coming in through Nogales so need to see what that’s like!
Jason, I'm hearing you about border crossings. Try crossing between Zimbabwe and South Africa 😲. Now that's an experience that's hard to forget. The corruption is off the Richter scale and the palpable dislike of anyone with a skin colour that's white is scary. I'm glad it all went well.
Rhodesia… just kidding. I had friends who grew up in Rhodesia before it became Zimbabwe. And yeah, no thanks, I’ll skip that crossing 😳 I can only imagine
Well said I went to Nogales, Mexico it is busiest and people is so mean. Never go back ever again. I went to San Luis Colorado River sooo different than Nogales. Pretty much full security. I love drive thru pass border. I heard it is dangerous. Sad day. I guess make a fly over.
It depends on what provider you use. My Canadian service with USA roaming stopped as soon as I crossed the boarder. I now have a Mexican service provided that uses AT&T
Years ago, I crossed the Brownsville/Matamoros border. No problema. In Mexico City, my VW van and most of my belongings were stolen the first night in our new shared apartment.
I think we can make ourselves paranoid. It's good to be aware of your surroundings though. You could have flown in. I've read they hsve cheap taxi's and bus service is good.
If concerned for your safety why travel through, sounds like you’re looking for trouble . You think by going around Lorado that criminals have not thought that other tourists will do that, use same strategy and be waiting for you on the less traveled road .
Gracias por visitar México, es lamentable la mala fama que se da a un lugar, pero es solo fama, si hay situaciones que han pasado, pero en cualquier lugar pueden pasar, lo importante es que la gente denuncie, que no se queden callados, más los extranjeros, denuncien en sus embajadas, es muy importante, para que así el gobierno ponga seguridad, y acabe con los delincuentes, tanto del mismo gobierno como los que los funcionarios protejen.

Nothing better than a smooth border crossing. I'm sure you'll be fine the rest of the way but good luck anyway! Stay safe.
I'm not sure why I'm surprised that the border crossing was so quiet, but that was pretty easy. Thanks, Jason.

Hello just happened to see your video what type of documents in regards to the vehicle did they ask for

Smooth border crossing... what did they say about the kayak? I would like to do this trip someday on motorcycle. Looking forward to your next video's.
They actually didn’t say anything about it.
Always hated any border crossing by car !

@@TrailguidePictures Rhodesia is where I'm from. Living in Tasmania now.
Too many RUclipsrs traveling all over Mexico. Whoever is afraid to die, don't be born
the gentelam reminds me of Charlton Heston

Side note: any issues with wifi/ GPS once over the border?

So dangerous folks, you may enjoy the ride
How DANGEROUS? its not for the average person, lots of U.S. hype about the dangers
Well, this is false too. There are PLENTY of places where local Mexicans don't and advise not to travel to or through.

Difficult to fly with a kayak
@@TrailguidePictures Well with the money you would have saved on GAS you could have bought one in Mexico. I don't appreciate the sarcasm.
Bus is a safe way to cross the border, but you have to be patience, a lot of time is lost while waiting for 40 persons to do their paperwork.
@@eliseosalcedo3099 Hi, no I meant they could have flown in then did local errands by taxi or by bus. Thank you.
Sensitive
Well, nothing out of the ordinary. Looks just like the rest of North America. I was expecting blood and a third world country.
It looks like Alaska or Nova Scotia?

It is very dangerous, please don't even try.
