I stumbled across one of your videos about 9 months ago, and I have been hooked ever since. Thank you both for letting us into your lives and showing us how van life is possible for anyone if you put your heart and soul into it. That’s what I take away from every one of your videos anyway. And Frank, what an amazing dog. I wish you both safe and amazing adventures in the future, and that you all be reunited with your van as soon as possible❤️🇺🇸
Trent and Allie: I am a Truck Driver. I've been driving for the duration of this pandemic and thankfully haven't been exposed to COVID-19. I stick to Love's Travel Stops wherever possible because it seems they're taking the best measures. I urge you guys to be Alert Not Anxious through this pandemic. Know the facts and use common hygene sense. Your glove idea was more dangerous tha just touching the pump! That made me cringe. As a truck driver I follow practical precautions and stay clear of fear and anxiety. I've got hand sanitizer in the truck. Once I get out of the truck I touch anything without said fear or anxiety (The virus CAN NOT affect your unbroken skin). I fuel my truck, clean my windshield, grab a paper towel to open my door; hop in and pull my truck forward them put hand sanitizer on (rubbing for 30 seconds) them go inside and use the bathroom then I wash my hands THOROUGHLY then go buy my food and roll I don't worry. I won't stop living. Stay Alert Not Anxious!
Great steps to self-isolate while on the road! Kudos to you! Looking forward to continuing to follow your adventures. I’m jealous, because I’ve had to cancel more than 65 camping nights in the US and Canada. Closing with words of a friend: “We isolate ourselves now so that when we get together again, no one is missing.” Safe Travels. Stay Well! Pat🇨🇦
Y'all made the right decision in going home. These same people bitching otherwise, 4 months later are standing on a beach somewhere or sending their kids to school, even as numbers rise. Love you guys!
We are so happy to travel with you by video. We had a Ram truck like yours and it was great and often pulled a big cattle trailer with it. I hope you will share your project that requires a truck with us. I am guessing ya'll may build a cabin in Utah. Thank you for being so diligent in protecting everyone. Where ever or what ever ya'll do, we are with you all the way. Pet Frank for us!
Being a long time pickup owner I can tell you that the first rain you hit on the road will fill the bed and your gear will be floating under that tarp. I suggest you consider a bed cover. You'll thank me later. lol
Floating? I'm pretty sure those tailgates aren't watertight. Hopefully everything they put in the bed will be in waterproof containers or bags. I'm guessing the prject they're talking about is some kind of trailer. I don't think you can use the fifth-wheel hitch with a bed cover on.
Thank you for your opening statement! As a nurse, I do understand how disease is transmitted. The fact that you identified your self-isolation is admirable. The only way to get back to normal is to practice this. I have really enjoyed your adventures and the open and honest way you allow us to share your journey!
You guys are compassionate smart people. Thank you for taking us along. We all have character traits that need to be worked on, thank you for showing us your life. I love watching your videos, and I am waiting for your new adventure, once the world opens for business once again. Stay safe and healthy!!!
Love the truck. Stay safe. You are still my favorite, appreciate watching and not having the stress of the traveling, but get to see these places that I will never go, and some after seeing, don't want to go. I want you to remain safe, independent, cool, happy, resourceful, problem solving team that you are. #KEEPITMOVINGTRENT&ALLIE.....👍
After being in another country when something bad locally or globally happens really makes you appreciative getting back here to the good ol' USA. I've been in the same situation but luckily I was in the US Navy when they happened. Congratulations, and Welcome Home.
I think the last video had a lot of negative comments. We are all in such a heightened state of anxiety. Thank you for your explanation at the beginning of this video and that your destination all along has been to get home which is Utah. Stay safe and thank you for sharing.
Yes, the safest thing to do when going to Utah, is fly into the complete opposite side of the country, drive across multiple states, exposing you to many states. I guarantee this whole trip was pre-planned, and they are just making the story fit current times. This channel is getting a lil too fake or "created". Let's get back to reality T&A
Gonzo Kat Yeah.... REALLY!!! And I just wanted to mention, if this video is real time and they left last Thursday or Friday, they will be quite surprised to find out that Utah, locked down all borders into the state!!! So however they come into Utah, and if the state agrees to let them in.... right at or near check point, they will have to go to a motel, and self quarantine for another 14 days.....then when they get home to where they will be staying (they have no home, so they will stay with family or friends, smh)then back to 14 More days of quarantining!!!! I sure hope it was all worth it, you put more stress on yourself AND OTHERS, by the decision that you made!!!! But Hey, you had to get “Home”..... Safe Travels...... 🤯
You guys are awesome! You are doing everything you can to stay safe. You are not coming into contact with anyone anymore than I do in one day. Everyone needs to gas up eventually. I clean the gas nozzle when I'm done too. Not bad! That's all that matters. Stay safe.💌
Just a crazy thought for Trent. Seeing as how you've traveled with and professed your love for Allie, it's time to totally trust her with your life and stop worrying about her driving. She is incredibly capable of everything she does.
Allie still has lots of feminine quirks that cause her anxiety until she gets some practice. A big truck is a lot to handle for some people used to driving cars.
Trent is Trent. Thankfully Allie knows this. He has Frank because it helps him with flying - and I imagine other things. Have you seen him snuggle Frank while he's driving? And he was able to sleep 3 hours while she drove. There are so many aspects to relationships. To touch on their driving to Utah right now: other people were able to get to their best "shelter-in" place. Trent and Allie were out of the country during that time. They did their very best to keep Allie's family safe. They are doing their best to keep themselves and others safe as they travel. All life can't stop. They need to make a living too. Like so many without jobs. They may have lost some of their sponsors - the Nomadic Movement has! Other advertisements may have pulled out. They're usually pretty transparent, so I imagine they'll tell us if life changing events happen.
Jerry S It's all about making content for videos. Sit there and film themselves saying oh I'm a control freak. don't worry about it. It's just for something to say
Awww kids! Thanks for taking us along on another adventure. Our Fridays and Mondays aren’t complete without watching you. Love the truck and we can’t wait to see what you have planned. We live in Dayton OH and you were literally 2 miles away from our house when you were on 70 just before it crosses 75. So close yet so far away. Hugs to both of you and Frank!
You guys are very sweet in cleaning everything. You probably are leaving everything you touched cleaner than it was before. Thank You for being cautious. Will pray for safe travels Blessings !
It's Good Friday, so I say this: best part of your channel is Allie's modesty. You resist the temptation of selling yourselves with provocative thumbnails that sell. THANK YOU
Really can't agree enough about their resistance to the provocative thumbnail. I'm a guy and find it a relief, for one thing it eliminates the VERY repetitive and numerous comments complaining about the thumbnail.
great to see Allie driving! I was concerned you drive all the distance again. You are supersafe about the Virus, now be supersafe about fatigue. that kills a lot people every year too.
Thank you so much for your efforts to stay safe, and also to reduce the transmission of covid 19. Imagine the lives and economic stress that could have been saved if EVERYONE followed the wonderful example you two and your family have set. Thank you, and blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Greetings from Australia. Lovely to see people smiling. My van waits patiently outside, ready to go and when I'm free, I don't think I'll stop driving for a long time. Stay safe. Stay happy. Thank you both for sharing your life with us.
So... I don't have time to read thru all the comments but I get the idea from this video that Trent & Allie are being criticized for driving cross-country to their home in Utah. I, for one, have NO PROBLEM with this! (And I'm in the high-risk category.) I'll guess that a lot of others don't have a problem with it either. But fault-finders are more vocal, unfortunately, so Trent and Allie spent the majority of their time in this video addressing the negativity. I hope they don't feel that's necessary in EVERY video! If people have a problem, direct them to this video and move on--literally! Love the truck! Love all the fun quirky moments...that's what makes Trent and Allie so fun to watch! Also, did anyone happen to notice the "World's Best Dad" mug Trent was using in their last video? And Trent's hint that there's another project on the horizon? (Or something to that effect.) Am I the only one catching this? COVID-19 is NOT about a virus or pandemic. It's about how we act as a society and as individuals. It's about how we treat each other. The reason I enjoy watching Trent & Allie is because they handle every situation with humor, poise, and grace. And they show concern for others wherever they go. I hope all you folks out there who've allowed this coronavirus to turn you into panicked judges will learn something from their example. Let this global event show you to be the kind of hero (and a kind hero) that history will be proud to talk about when this is all over. Hey, Trent & Allie, I just became your newest subscriber!!!
Thank you so much for this kind and genuine comment. So happy to have you as part of our community 😊 just by this comment I can tell, you make this world a better place 😇
Our dog locked herself in our brand new truck when she stepped on the lock button (which wouldn't have happened in our old truck). We were in a public park, had just unloaded 2 horses from the trailer with plans to go for a trail ride. Luckily, we remembered the truck came with a free trial of On-Star. They were able to pop open the locks within a few minutes!! Really saved the day :) Moral of the story: There's a learning curve with all new vehicles. Live and learn.
Thank you so much Trent and Allie for pronouncing Missouri...correctly. Thank you for not saying Missoura....we pronounce the "i" on the end with the Eeee sound. Also, I am so happy that you are both home and safe and among family and friends, you too Frank :).
Thank you for posting. You guys are an inspiration. Making the best of what you’ve got. I hope you and your familys are all well. Best wishes from the 🇬🇧
Something I learned long ago...b4 I get out of my truck I always put my window down two inches...ALWAYS. Its so automatic for me now. I also have a hidden key in case I lose my keys, but I do bring it in at night. My rig has a build out and I sleep in it while traveling. Happy, safe trails...
I am riding this out in Utah, too. As of April 10th, you get to do ANOTHER quarantine when you enter the state, and 4 counties are off limits to visitors: Grand, Emery, Carbon, San Juan (and Navajo Nation). It is a bit crazy.
You have posesion selfishness disorder Trent. Let your other half have half . If ya don't later in life she will tell you you ruined her life trying to control everything.take it from me i have been married longer than you two have been alive. Get home and stay there. If ya leave a town in the future they may not let ya back in. Total isolation is coming sooner than they expected. They ha ave already closed entry to national forests and parks. BLM will be next. And the rest is private forest lands. Nice monster truck. How many dinosaurs does that beast drink for breakfast. Minimalism ideas just left the screen. Varoom. Allie needs a gangster hat and glasses.
I just wanna get this straight: They explained that they needed to get to Utah as it is their domicile. They explained that travel to our domiciles is allowed. The driving time of their trip was 30 hours. The video showed about 10-15 minutes of the entire trip AND - they chose to include Trent's silliness over Allie driving because they saw the humor in it. Jeez folks - lighten up on them.
No i won't lighten up people need to take this more seriously this is not the time to leave point a just cuz you want to go to point B know the domicile was at her parents house they could have stayed there but they chose to as you said yourself they wanted to go to Utah it was not a necessity to go to Utah and put other people's lives in danger maybe when you lose somebody from this virus you will start taking it more seriously we just lost a good man of god do to people that said the same thing you just said lighten up not that serious we got another church member in the hospital fighting for her life because of this virus! They may not mean to try to cause harm to anyone hey man I want to but the fact is fact if you're exposed you can expose other people by accident because you didn't want to stay inside !
Kevin and Robin Herber Well, be that as it may and I agree with you on that I mean they’re going home and that’s what that is and simply nothing to talk or criticize about. But, and this is a real big but, I am heartbroken, distraught and other words that mean pissed and hurt at same time at the fact they bought an actual Dodge pick up instead of one of the many beautiful hard-core GM Brands. When it comes to vans Dodge is OK but when it comes to trucks, who is Dodge?... LOL I will say this about dodge, but I will not admit it if you put me in a trial, they do make trucks that look pretty damn modern and fierce or badass whereas Ford and Chevy still look like they did 100 years ago LOL but I’m a diehard GM, Chevy man. Yes totally off topic but other than that great video and they’re on their way home, so what the hell? Honestly, they could’ve quarantined once they went straight home if they wanted to but they took the approach of doing that first and they didn’t have to take the CDC recommendations at all. They’re straight up good folks but bad truck BRAND buyers. :-) LOL oh yeah
@@yvonnelives Ummmm.... I pull our 40' 5th wheel with a RAM 3500. 150,000 miles so far. Only problem was it needed a new clutch at 125,000. GM builds beautiful trucks by I love our RAM! :)
Yes, BUT … they might have waited 30-60-90 days so as to NOT be asymptomatic spreaders. BUT, they chose to go at what might be the worst possible time. I am appalled at their actions as well as their fans who think this is ok.
Liz Summers there has been no actual evidence that you can be asymptotic for 90 days. Where is that information. The quarantined for 14 days upon arrival. They’ve have no symptoms are are no longer required to quarantine. They are being overly cautious as they travel to their home. They will be in the USA for the foreseeable future. They can go home. People who are acting like it’s a crime to drive are crazy. People have to reasonably live their lives to an extent.
Buy a length of steel brake line and a bender tool (15 bucks total) strong and thin and the end is flared so you can pull up on buttons/switches. The bender tool lets you add angles so you can get it to the unlocky thingy. The “stuff a towel to hold the gap between the door and frame” trick works. I keep a cheap dent pushing air bladder in my rig for that purpose, it works well.
Hello , enjoying your videos . My Husband was a tow truck driver for close to 40 yrs. He always told his lock outs who were traveling, put a spare (tape) key behind front plate on vehicle . Then he says , you always have a quarter in your pocket to use as a screwdriver. Be safe . Love the truck .
love you guys but please DON'T disinfect gloves! They are disposable for a reason! Just throw em out when you're done! Lots of love from your friendly neighborhood Nurse Practitioner!
@@MamaBaer54 yeah but using Clorox is going to break down the latex so they aren't impermeable anymore. they are designed for single use. We actually don't have a glove shortage right now, that I know of. Mainly masks and gowns.
Medical practices may not have shortage of gloves but just like wipes, hand sanitizer and toilet paper, they are hard to find in stores and they dont want to stop in stores. In addition to the hand cleaning and extra precautions, the reusing of the gloves is better than nothing right? If only for peace of mind.
Be careful with Frank up front in a truck that has been in accidents and has mechanical issues. If yall where in an accident or an airbag malfunctioned it would be deadly to him I had a friend who's dog died in her lap from that.. even if hes unhappy its safer for him in the back and he will adjust. I just know how traumatic that would be. Safe travels and I cant wait to see what comes next.
I was looking at Sara & Luca, and they made a youtube update on severall people ,who are stuck in Argentina. And they showed a yard where a lot of overlanders left there Vans, and surprise I saw your Van, with your motor on de back. It was all looking verry good. He is a good guy who is watching over all the vehicles.
Your video brought back memories of when we had our dog team, dog sledding with friends who had a Westie . We use to load the dog into the truck cab when the team came in. One day my husband had left the keys in the ignition and when the West was in the truck hit the door locks. His lucky day, as he spoke to her thru the window she pawed the door and unlocked it! Glad you made it safe and sound! Look forward to your new adventures.
Good luck on the trip. Others have mentions the truck bed issues that could occur from rain and such, a truck canopy would have been a good investment at this point. Even in Salt Lake a truck with a canopy would be wise to have. Also, without much effort you could have created a great sleeping situation in the back. It's no van life but it works great for quick trips. Stay safe.
Great idea! I had a SUV and it was awesome to put the back seats down and sleep in the back. They could move things to the side or some to the front or back seat and sleep in the back as you say.
Or look into Soft Toppers if you don't want a permanent shell. Great for camping and more flexible use of the bed. Security hasn't been an issue in Utah so far.
"So it begins." Don't you think you should make a quick side trip to get a few extra truck keys made before you take off? All of the best journeys start off bumpy. It makes you enjoy each perfect day so much more! And not mind the bumps that come along so much. The best of luck to the three of you! 🍀🍀🍀
That's awful! I had no idea. But quick trip or long, it's better to have a spare than to hope someone will be able to help you. It's costly and they might not be in a populated area next time it happens. Although I'm sure Trent was watching how they got into the truck that time!
I am from Utah and I am rooting for both of you (and your doggy) to get back home! I am doing okay during this pandemic because I can go into the mountains we have here. There's no place like Utah.
This video brings back memories of my husband and I traveling back and forth from Arizona to the east coast. He would do all the driving because he was commercial truck driver and and wanted complete control of the steering wheel. It was fun by exhausting. Probably will never do it again. Enjoy it while you can.
Rinyotsu Locked my keys in my first car while running because of remote start/alarm. Luckily I had my hood open so I just plugged the intake so it didn't run the whole time it took me to break in.
Trent and Allie your new truck is bad -ass! Love it! Frank is such a honey bunny! You guys are the most conscientious folks I have ever seen! Great vid!
Trent I am so glad you have Frank and Allie with you. You worry too much. Allie keeps you going though. Frank is without a doubt the glue that keeps you two together. I went on the rebel vanlife for almost ten years. I loved every minute of living like that. At 70 years old I realized I was not the tough old guy that I was at 60. The years took a toll on my body. I still love to just get out and spend time in the camper . Take care, be careful and don't let the little things bother you.
Allies mom has that look ,where she "looks at Trent and then looks at Allie and says good luck dear."..... Looking forward to a camper build out. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
Killer truck! Congratulations! I bet Frank will love it too! ♥️ You guys are very responsible keeping yourselves and others safe during this virus. Come explore Bend, Oregon sometime when this is all over!
I’ve notice Allie has a habit of travelling with her feet up on the dash, that’s a really really bad habit, especially in a Vehicle equipped with airbags.
My mom worked for a man years ago that did that and became paralyzed because of an accident. I always think of that when tempted to put my feet up on long trips. She really shouldn't do it!
So nice that you guys have gloves, masks, and wipes. You can't find any of those here where I am. You couldn't even find a thermometer; something everyone should have to check their temperature once in a while.
Good morning you two. Let Allie drive the truck, fear not Trent. My wife drives a 2000 Saturn and I taught her to drive a 24,000 LB Skoolie with no problems and in two days. Relax Trent.
My daughter has a Jeep that locks the doors with the Jeep running. She got her self a spare key that fits the driver's door lock. It won't start the Jeep but it will unlock the driver's door so you can get into it.
Thank you for sharing your trip across the country with us in your new rig. So glad to see that Frank made it with you guys from Argentina. Glad to see that you guys are healthy. Look forward to the next video
As a Mom/Grandma, I'd really miss you but I'd be Very proud of you! Trucks definitely make good 'car campers'. I could see you eventually getting a camper for it. It could also have a fun 'bed tent'!
I know you guys are missing your Van.. I saw it in Luca and Sara's Overlander update video... It looks like it's well protected and secure... I hope that's some small consolation for you... Nice truck BTW 👌
Loved the Vid U3, Franck has settled well - but of course he would being in good company.👍 Thumbs up from me and my boys now in day 23 self isolating in the UK with our two beautiful dogs - woof woof.👍
Just a quick note..N95 masks aren't useful if they are not fit tested. You might as well use a cloth mask, and save the N95 for the healthcare industry. Love the truck!😀
Really? I am a nurse and my husband has many mask in his garage to wear when doing projects. They are not taking anything away from healthcare workers. Many non-healthcare workers have these masks for various reasons.
Overland life is looking like the new van life on RUclips. Assuming the mechanical issues are not that big of a deal, you have a pretty cool truck to get started. Good luck, please be carful, safe, and healthy!
If everything in life went like planned, we wouldn’t have a story to tell and laugh about later. What an adventure your life has been! I am sure you have noticed that there is ALWAYS a critic wherever you go and in whatever you do. Take the grains of wisdom and blow the chafe away. Wake up every morning intent on doing the best you know how. Stay safe and keep entertaining us armchair adventurers. God bless you, Frank and your journey. BTW. Where will you stay when you get to Utah. Haven’t you given up your apartment?
I bought my tiny home just north of Utah - in Idaho :) There's several tiny home builders out that way... and I bought a very similar truck to pull it... I think you might be right!
Overland vehicle build, the channel has been listed under that category on RUclips for about 6 months. A tiny house would make sense if they plan on purchasing land but not for travel, due agree tho.
Now THAT was entertaining .. the lock out. HAHA ... truth is I have done that!!! Am also guilty of being a "control driver" ..sorry you have to put up with that Allie! Your look and response to Trent was a familiar one lol. GET An EXTRA KEY MADE NOW
You train yourself to take key out of pocket when one is in ignition..... that’s what I do, with my fob, since my car is keyless!!! It is NOT THAT DIFFICULT!! Sheesh......
I have a very funny story we had gotten a puppy and I was taking it home. I pulled into a gas station to get something to drink. We have a 2007 H3 Hummer and I didn't want the puppy to get hot so I left the truck running while I stepped out. The gas station was set up to where you didn't have to go in. you are able to purchase items right beside your vehicle. I was purchasing a pop when I heard the distinct sound of doors locking. I turn around and see the puppy in the window and her paws were on the lock. I tried everything I could to persuade the puppy to move around the hit the unlock button or at least even roll the window down. I wound up buying a Slim Jim and I don't mean the tool to unlock the door but an actual beef jerky type of treat. There was about eight or nine cars around me but no one really can see what or whom I was speaking to as I was saying come on baby open the door come on you can do it as I was waving the slim jim in front of the window. Well just so happened she hit the window to go down just a little bit. So I put a little bitty piece into the window to get her on top of the button again which worked but only to go down about 2 inches. so I get my hand into the window to try to reach the lock to no avail. so I put a little bit more of the Slim Jim into the window and then I hear the door unlock . now I'm right-handed and that was the hand that was in the window holding the Slim Jim and I'm trying to reach the door handle with my left hand to open the door daring this confrontation. The puppy gets ahold of the Slim Jim and locked the door before I can actually reach the handle. At this point I am getting mad and I start yelling at the puppy saying that if you don't open this door right now I'm going to choke you to death of course I would never ever do that but I was a bit frustrated because I am watching her eat this Slim Jim while I've got my hand still stuck in the window and now I have no way of getting my hand out to go get another treat. I was able to get my cell phone to call my girlfriend so we can have OnStar turned on and have them unlock my doors. now this is where it gets really funny I'm on the phone with OnStar explaining to the lady what is going on and what has happened so far. And the lady from OnStar is cracking up at this point and in turn caused me to calm down a bit for the moment. the lady from OnStar was able to remotely unlock my door keep in mind my hand still stuck in the window and I'm trying to use my left hand to open the door and I guess the puppy thought that I had another treat in my hand because as I was reaching for the door handle she jumped back up to the window and actually rolled the window up even more against my hand and locked the door at the same time. I start yelling at the puppy again and the only person that knew what was really going on was the lady from OnStar and I'm not really paying attention to the people around me because I'm more interested in getting into the vehicle. I am telling the puppy I'm going to strangle it, never going to feed it again, make it sleep outside, go and get its brother and let him live in the house while she slept outside. at this point I'm hearing people around me gasping like what in the world is wrong with this guy treating his kids like this. the lady from OnStar couldn't even talk to me because she was laughing so hard. well I guess there's a process that needs to happen each time they try to unlock your door so it takes a few seconds or so. We proceeded to do this exact same scenario three more times and i was getting looser and looser with my words each time. finally the fourth time I was able to hold the handle and pull it right when she unlocked it and I flung that door open like I was Superman pulling the door off of a burning house. I had to climb up onto the running board so I can reach over with my left hand to roll the window down to get my hand out and I grab the keys out even though I had the door wide open to keep me from getting locked out again. Now I have my head inside the door and looking at the puppy saying why did you do this to me as I picked her up so I can get in to the vehicle and that is when everybody around me realized I'm talking to a dog . and now everyone is dying laughing. a couple years after that we started hearing OnStar commercials of kind of similar scenarios and I really thought that they would be trying to get a holding of us to make one out of that because it was insanely hilarious after the fact of course
I'm really calm and clear thinking in emergencies. Or i have been so far, knock on wood. That could have turned really bad (if the truck started moving), it actually got worse because your hand was caught in the window.
I always carry a spare key because my dog has the same habit of locking the doors. I have to keep the windows locked cause he opens and closes them and am afraid he might get his head caught inthe window. Glad all had a good ending and that you forgave your puppy!
About three weeks ago was the last time I left my house to go grocery shopping… Ran out of groceries and went shopping again yesterday. Food only and then I went home. What I’m going to explain now probably has to do with the fact that I don’t see it on a regular basis outside of my house. I’m also scared because I am high risk considering I get pneumonia often, even as early as last year. And then I think I’m suffering a little bit from manapuase (emotional); BUT, without any shame I have to admit I found myself standing in the middle of Walmart crying. It’s an emotional time for all of us, and seeing people dodge others in the store like we’re all playing a game of dodgeball in middle school. This time was notably different because of all the people with masks on their face. This was in Sioux Falls South Dakota. The world is affected in many ways... could this honestly become a new normal?
Oh, and you just triggered me with that lovely sandwich you pulled out and I seen the lettuce on it. I forgot lettuce at the store and it’s been years since I put lettuce on the sandwich and I was really wanting some lettuce. So thanks for that - not! J/k of coarse, but I did forget and wanted lettuce.
In the US anything can happen. In Europe though its all back to normal. The government pretending the people are following the rules and the people not giving a shit about what the government says.
Rense Bakker I’m a bit confused. So you (your country) are living your life without a care, even though it’s not over & your government is telling you to be careful. Isn’t that reckless?
@@RenseBakker - Which country or countries in Europe? On his channel, Nate Murphy is documenting the lockdown restrictions in Spain (he owns property there and is allowing three stranded van families to stay on this land) plus explaining how the police works enforce those restrictions. Greg Virgoe documented the requirements and the lockdown restrictions he and three other British van lifers encountered in heeding their government's "come home" instructions as they traveled through Portugal, Spain and France.
Trent and Allie make sure if you go to gas stops to spray them down with disinfected spray please the stall lock and door before you leave. I had to do this for doordash. Especially now with restaurant dining areas are closed. Be safe and stay healthy. I had my scare with covid19 myself and on Wednesday this week I was negitive!!! So happy. Don't save same glove even if you try to clean it. CDC does not want you to keep same glove at all.
I’m so sorry you guys got some negative comments last time! I think you all have been super careful and managed to remain positive!! I love the new truck! Can’t wait to continue the adventure with you guys. Please give Frank some hugs ❤️
We've all been there! I put "The Club" on my steering wheel & locked my truck. I then proceeded to go swimming at Virgina Beach with my keys in my pocket. The AAA guys was able to un-lock my door & make a key to start the truck. Only thing is, he was really weird about "The Club". He said that "legally" he couldn't remove it from my steering wheel. So I was like, f*#k! I'm either gonna have to cut the steering wheel, or wait till the morning & call a locksmith. So then the AAA dude says that I can borrow his drill & remove "The Club" myself. Apparently that was "legally" OK to do. So I then proceeded to break three of his drill bits drilling out the lock. After the 1st one, I could tell he was hesitant to give me another one. I don't know how I talked him into giving me a 3rd one. I was like " It's so close!! It's gonna pop any second!! I guess when it's not your drill & drill bits, your always the eternal optimist!
Use a glove with the hand that holds the wipe. You should toss the used gloves and use new next time. Also, you should switch off drivers when traveling. Cap on the back and a blow up mattress and there is your room for the night.
I'm with you on that one. Look, even how they live they live like Kings and Queens and being so young wow, how stupid do they think we are believing that they are poor. Ok, they seem to be a nice couple I give them that but speaking of money ok, I think that they have plenty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TCB.
@@tcb1017 I made my comment just to be silly... I'm not making any guesses as to their finances, nor do I want to; that's their business. The truck is used, they have families who might help, the whole situation is very much out of the ordinary & requires out-of-the-ordinary actions, etc. etc. etc. Let's not rag on them for living their lives as they choose -- I was one of the folks yelling, "STAY PUT!" but after watching the first half of how they're traveling vs. what I see around me every day, they're doing a damn sight better than at least 80% of the population. Live & let live, I' not here to be anyone's banker. :-)
I LOVE you guys!!! I just happened to stumble onto your videos and have been watching them, actually bingeing on them!!! Love your attitudes and outlook on life!!! You ARE living life the way you want to!!! By the way, I flew to Tucson last year to pick up a truck I had bought from a cousin. Stopping in Sedona in a freezing rain storm and thought I needed to take a picture, I hopped out of my truck and somehow, someway I locked the door behind me!!! Thank goodness I was taking pictures with my cellphone and was able to call AAA! I just knew that the help that was on its way would be a long time, as the guy on the phone gave a ETA of 70 minutes!!!! I just knew I would be a frozen human in nothing but shorts and a tee when help arrived!!! I was amazed when he showed up in 20 minutes!!! I did hang out in a covered shelter and read everything on the wall tell he got there!!! You guys are doing great, I have no qualms or concerns about you being on the road, doing what you enjoy living and making the best of a bad situation! And, if you were REALLY worried about Allie's driving you WOULD not be able to take a nap!!!! I know!!! LOL! Be Safe, Stay Healthy, and Don't Litter!
I need to catch up with your videos and find out what all happened, but I am kinda grieving the loss of your van. I really admired your sense of adventure, especially in South America. You learned the language, adopted their food and drink, and seemed to have wonderful rapport with the locals wherever you went, I hope you can do more adventuring when this pandemic is over. God bless and safe travels to you, and thank you. Oh and Happy Easter :) Ostara, whatever.
I'm interested to see what the plan is. Lots of BLM land out there and beautiful places to explore, places where a 4x4 would be handy, maybe use a trailer as a base camp to explore from. Wild guesses. Safe travels!
I stumbled across one of your videos about 9 months ago, and I have been hooked ever since. Thank you both for letting us into your lives and showing us how van life is possible for anyone if you put your heart and soul into it. That’s what I take away from every one of your videos anyway. And Frank, what an amazing dog. I wish you both safe and amazing adventures in the future, and that you all be reunited with your van as soon as possible❤️🇺🇸
Thank you so much! So happy to hear you enjoy our videos 😊
Trent and Allie: I am a Truck Driver. I've been driving for the duration of this pandemic and thankfully haven't been exposed to COVID-19. I stick to Love's Travel Stops wherever possible because it seems they're taking the best measures. I urge you guys to be Alert Not Anxious through this pandemic. Know the facts and use common hygene sense. Your glove idea was more dangerous tha just touching the pump! That made me cringe.
As a truck driver I follow practical precautions and stay clear of fear and anxiety. I've got hand sanitizer in the truck. Once I get out of the truck I touch anything without said fear or anxiety (The virus CAN NOT affect your unbroken skin). I fuel my truck, clean my windshield, grab a paper towel to open my door; hop in and pull my truck forward them put hand sanitizer on (rubbing for 30 seconds) them go inside and use the bathroom then I wash my hands THOROUGHLY then go buy my food and roll
I don't worry. I won't stop living. Stay Alert Not Anxious!
Noticed I didn't get a ❤️. Sorry if I came off harsh, but too many people are overreacting about this.
I can hear Trent cursing me out now... Still love you guys!
If nothing else that glove helps keep the diesel off your hand. That smell just lingers.
Michael Gilroy thank you for your service as a truck driver - very much appreciated. Thanks for sharing good information.
@@mjfreespirit You're right, it's PC to be OMGAWD! Drama clicks, so over it.
Great steps to self-isolate while on the road! Kudos to you! Looking forward to continuing to follow your adventures. I’m jealous, because I’ve had to cancel more than 65 camping nights in the US and Canada.
Closing with words of a friend: “We isolate ourselves now so that when we get together again, no one is missing.”
Safe Travels. Stay Well! Pat🇨🇦
Well missing my own children right now. You made me cry saying good bye to your parents. Be safe. Love from a dad in Canada.
Y'all made the right decision in going home. These same people bitching otherwise, 4 months later are standing on a beach somewhere or sending their kids to school, even as numbers rise. Love you guys!
So happy to see this update. I’m sure you’ve safely arrived at your destination yet cannot wait for the next update. ❤️
We are so happy to travel with you by video. We had a Ram truck like yours and it was great and often pulled a big cattle trailer with it. I hope you will share your project that requires a truck with us. I am guessing ya'll may build a cabin in Utah. Thank you for being so diligent in protecting everyone. Where ever or what ever ya'll do, we are with you all the way. Pet Frank for us!
Being a long time pickup owner I can tell you that the first rain you hit on the road will fill the bed and your gear will be floating under that tarp. I suggest you consider a bed cover. You'll thank me later. lol
Bed has fifth wheel mount, I think they’re buying a tiny house
Jimmy Hendricks yep. First thing I thought. Tarps don’t work.
Floating? I'm pretty sure those tailgates aren't watertight. Hopefully everything they put in the bed will be in waterproof containers or bags. I'm guessing the prject they're talking about is some kind of trailer. I don't think you can use the fifth-wheel hitch with a bed cover on.
Johnny P it can be taken off.
Pack your gear in plastic totes!
Thank you for your opening statement! As a nurse, I do understand how disease is transmitted. The fact that you identified your self-isolation is admirable. The only way to get back to normal is to practice this. I have really enjoyed your adventures and the open and honest way you allow us to share your journey!
You guys are compassionate smart people. Thank you for taking us along. We all have character traits that need to be worked on, thank you for showing us your life. I love watching your videos, and I am waiting for your new adventure, once the world opens for business once again. Stay safe and healthy!!!
Even when Allie gets mad she’s still a wonderful human❤️ Trent, appreciate that :)
how do you know?
Love the truck. Stay safe. You are still my favorite, appreciate watching and not having the stress of the traveling, but get to see these places that I will never go, and some after seeing, don't want to go. I want you to remain safe, independent, cool, happy, resourceful, problem solving team that you are. #KEEPITMOVINGTRENT&ALLIE.....👍
So glad to see the amount of precautions you took driving home. So glad you will be safe.
After being in another country when something bad locally or globally happens really makes you appreciative getting back here to the good ol' USA. I've been in the same situation but luckily I was in the US Navy when they happened. Congratulations, and Welcome Home.
You two make me happy about the future generations, always so positive and responsible.
I think the last video had a lot of negative comments. We are all in such a heightened state of anxiety. Thank you for your explanation at the beginning of this video and that your destination all along has been to get home which is Utah. Stay safe and thank you for sharing.
Yes, the safest thing to do when going to Utah, is fly into the complete opposite side of the country, drive across multiple states, exposing you to many states. I guarantee this whole trip was pre-planned, and they are just making the story fit current times. This channel is getting a lil too fake or "created". Let's get back to reality T&A
Gonzo Kat Yeah.... REALLY!!! And I just wanted to mention, if this video is real time and they left last Thursday or Friday, they will be quite surprised to find out that Utah, locked down all borders into the state!!! So however they come into Utah, and if the state agrees to let them in.... right at or near check point, they will have to go to a motel, and self quarantine for another 14 days.....then when they get home to where they will be staying (they have no home, so they will stay with family or friends, smh)then back to 14 More days of quarantining!!!! I sure hope it was all worth it, you put more stress on yourself AND OTHERS, by the decision that you made!!!! But Hey, you had to get “Home”..... Safe Travels...... 🤯
You guys are awesome! You are doing everything you can to stay safe. You are not coming into contact with anyone anymore than I do in one day. Everyone needs to gas up eventually. I clean the gas nozzle when I'm done too. Not bad! That's all that matters. Stay safe.💌
Just a crazy thought for Trent. Seeing as how you've traveled with and professed your love for Allie, it's time to totally trust her with your life and stop worrying about her driving. She is incredibly capable of everything she does.
Allie still has lots of feminine quirks that cause her anxiety until she gets some practice. A big truck is a lot to handle for some people used to driving cars.
Loving someone and trusting their driving skills have nothing to do with each other.
always applaud people who can drive so far. Even with 3 drivers can't imagine going over 8 hours in a day, haha.
Trent is Trent. Thankfully Allie knows this. He has Frank because it helps him with flying - and I imagine other things.
Have you seen him snuggle Frank while he's driving?
And he was able to sleep 3 hours while she drove.
There are so many aspects to relationships.
To touch on their driving to Utah right now: other people were able to get to their best "shelter-in" place.
Trent and Allie were out of the country during that time.
They did their very best to keep Allie's family safe.
They are doing their best to keep themselves and others safe as they travel.
All life can't stop.
They need to make a living too.
Like so many without jobs.
They may have lost some of their sponsors - the Nomadic Movement has!
Other advertisements may have pulled out.
They're usually pretty transparent, so I imagine they'll tell us if life changing events happen.
Jerry S
It's all about making content for videos. Sit there and film themselves saying oh I'm a control freak. don't worry about it. It's just for something to say
Awww kids! Thanks for taking us along on another adventure. Our Fridays and Mondays aren’t complete without watching you. Love the truck and we can’t wait to see what you have planned. We live in Dayton OH and you were literally 2 miles away from our house when you were on 70 just before it crosses 75. So close yet so far away. Hugs to both of you and Frank!
You guys are very sweet in cleaning everything. You probably are leaving everything you touched cleaner than it was before. Thank You for being cautious. Will pray for safe travels Blessings !
It's Good Friday, so I say this: best part of your channel is Allie's modesty. You resist the temptation of selling yourselves with provocative thumbnails that sell. THANK YOU
Quite sexist, Dan. Trent was topless waking up in bed .... yet that is okay with you?
Really can't agree enough about their resistance to the provocative thumbnail. I'm a guy and find it a relief, for one thing it eliminates the VERY repetitive and numerous comments complaining about the thumbnail.
I respect their integrity and honesty.
@@SisterSherryDoingStuff Maybe because she's not that hot.
@@GOLDTRADERRR #Rude Allie's beautiful inside and out.
Love my Dodge Truck...glad to see your upbeat, cheerful faces... and of course Frank! ❤️😃🐶
great to see Allie driving! I was concerned you drive all the distance again. You are supersafe about the Virus, now be supersafe about fatigue. that kills a lot people every year too.
Thank you so much for your efforts to stay safe, and also to reduce the transmission of covid 19. Imagine the lives and economic stress that could have been saved if EVERYONE followed the wonderful example you two and your family have set. Thank you, and blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Greetings from Australia. Lovely to see people smiling. My van waits patiently outside, ready to go and when I'm free, I don't think I'll stop driving for a long time. Stay safe. Stay happy. Thank you both for sharing your life with us.
So... I don't have time to read thru all the comments but I get the idea from this video that Trent & Allie are being criticized for driving cross-country to their home in Utah. I, for one, have NO PROBLEM with this! (And I'm in the high-risk category.) I'll guess that a lot of others don't have a problem with it either. But fault-finders are more vocal, unfortunately, so Trent and Allie spent the majority of their time in this video addressing the negativity. I hope they don't feel that's necessary in EVERY video! If people have a problem, direct them to this video and move on--literally!
Love the truck! Love all the fun quirky moments...that's what makes Trent and Allie so fun to watch! Also, did anyone happen to notice the "World's Best Dad" mug Trent was using in their last video? And Trent's hint that there's another project on the horizon? (Or something to that effect.) Am I the only one catching this?
COVID-19 is NOT about a virus or pandemic. It's about how we act as a society and as individuals. It's about how we treat each other. The reason I enjoy watching Trent & Allie is because they handle every situation with humor, poise, and grace. And they show concern for others wherever they go. I hope all you folks out there who've allowed this coronavirus to turn you into panicked judges will learn something from their example. Let this global event show you to be the kind of hero (and a kind hero) that history will be proud to talk about when this is all over.
Hey, Trent & Allie, I just became your newest subscriber!!!
Thank you so much for this kind and genuine comment. So happy to have you as part of our community 😊 just by this comment I can tell, you make this world a better place 😇
You said it better than I could have. kudos.
Our dog locked herself in our brand new truck when she stepped on the lock button (which wouldn't have happened in our old truck). We were in a public park, had just unloaded 2 horses from the trailer with plans to go for a trail ride. Luckily, we remembered the truck came with a free trial of On-Star. They were able to pop open the locks within a few minutes!! Really saved the day :)
Moral of the story: There's a learning curve with all new vehicles. Live and learn.
If I have to leave a vehicle running I roll down a window at least far enough to reach inside if necessary.
Terry Breen that is a great idea.
Terry Breen
Unbelievable idea
@@terrybreen3331 Just an FYI, our truck wasn't running.
Thank you so much Trent and Allie for pronouncing Missouri...correctly. Thank you for not saying Missoura....we pronounce the "i" on the end with the Eeee sound. Also, I am so happy that you are both home and safe and among family and friends, you too Frank :).
Being from St. Louis myself, that also made me happy. Sometimes it's the little things, right? 😉
When I’ve traveled through Missouri I’ve heard people say Missourah … This is outside of St. Louis area…
Stephen Langton that’s how the country folk pronounce it
Thank you for posting. You guys are an inspiration. Making the best of what you’ve got. I hope you and your familys are all well. Best wishes from the 🇬🇧
Something I learned long ago...b4 I get out of my truck I always put my window down two inches...ALWAYS. Its so automatic for me now. I also have a hidden key in case I lose my keys, but I do bring it in at night. My rig has a build out and I sleep in it while traveling. Happy, safe trails...
I am riding this out in Utah, too. As of April 10th, you get to do ANOTHER quarantine when you enter the state, and 4 counties are off limits to visitors: Grand, Emery, Carbon, San Juan (and Navajo Nation). It is a bit crazy.
“Am I being a jerk?” “YES!” So funny.
(Wince!)
Woman love jerks.
Cute
Control freak ? Absolutely mate.
You have posesion selfishness disorder Trent. Let your other half have half . If ya don't later in life she will tell you you ruined her life trying to control everything.take it from me i have been married longer than you two have been alive. Get home and stay there. If ya leave a town in the future they may not let ya back in. Total isolation is coming sooner than they expected. They ha ave already closed entry to national forests and parks. BLM will be next. And the rest is private forest lands. Nice monster truck. How many dinosaurs does that beast drink for breakfast. Minimalism ideas just left the screen. Varoom. Allie needs a gangster hat and glasses.
A gallon of Diesel... $2.49
A Mountain Dew for the road... $1.50
Mom's expression at 7:51 ... Priceless.
Glad to see you keeping yourselves from touching things that others have been in contact with. Good example for others to follow. Safe travels.
You guys are my favorite van life/travel /vlog couple. Look forward to your videos every week!!
I just wanna get this straight: They explained that they needed to get to Utah as it is their domicile. They explained that travel to our domiciles is allowed. The driving time of their trip was 30 hours. The video showed about 10-15 minutes of the entire trip AND - they chose to include Trent's silliness over Allie driving because they saw the humor in it. Jeez folks - lighten up on them.
No i won't lighten up people need to take this more seriously this is not the time to leave point a just cuz you want to go to point B know the domicile was at her parents house they could have stayed there but they chose to as you said yourself they wanted to go to Utah it was not a necessity to go to Utah and put other people's lives in danger maybe when you lose somebody from this virus you will start taking it more seriously we just lost a good man of god do to people that said the same thing you just said lighten up not that serious we got another church member in the hospital fighting for her life because of this virus! They may not mean to try to cause harm to anyone hey man I want to but the fact is fact if you're exposed you can expose other people by accident because you didn't want to stay inside !
Kevin and Robin Herber Well, be that as it may and I agree with you on that I mean they’re going home and that’s what that is and simply nothing to talk or criticize about. But, and this is a real big but, I am heartbroken, distraught and other words that mean pissed and hurt at same time at the fact they bought an actual Dodge pick up instead of one of the many beautiful hard-core GM Brands. When it comes to vans Dodge is OK but when it comes to trucks, who is Dodge?... LOL
I will say this about dodge, but I will not admit it if you put me in a trial, they do make trucks that look pretty damn modern and fierce or badass whereas Ford and Chevy still look like they did 100 years ago LOL but I’m a diehard GM, Chevy man. Yes totally off topic but other than that great video and they’re on their way home, so what the hell? Honestly, they could’ve quarantined once they went straight home if they wanted to but they took the approach of doing that first and they didn’t have to take the CDC recommendations at all. They’re straight up good folks but bad truck BRAND buyers. :-) LOL oh yeah
@@yvonnelives Ummmm.... I pull our 40' 5th wheel with a RAM 3500. 150,000 miles so far. Only problem was it needed a new clutch at 125,000. GM builds beautiful trucks by I love our RAM! :)
Yes, BUT … they might have waited 30-60-90 days so as to NOT be asymptomatic spreaders. BUT, they chose to go at what might be the worst possible time. I am appalled at their actions as well as their fans who think this is ok.
Liz Summers there has been no actual evidence that you can be asymptotic for 90 days. Where is that information. The quarantined for 14 days upon arrival. They’ve have no symptoms are are no longer required to quarantine. They are being overly cautious as they travel to their home. They will be in the USA for the foreseeable future. They can go home. People who are acting like it’s a crime to drive are crazy. People have to reasonably live their lives to an extent.
Wow, she put up with 15:02 really well. You're damned lucky you didn't have a fight that began in Indiana and ended up in a shallow grave in Utah.
A lot more animals probably wandering onto the seemingly empty roads...so...stay vigilant. Safe journeys.
Very true about more animals on the roads due to less traffic.
Buy a length of steel brake line and a bender tool (15 bucks total) strong and thin and the end is flared so you can pull up on buttons/switches. The bender tool lets you add angles so you can get it to the unlocky thingy.
The “stuff a towel to hold the gap between the door and frame” trick works. I keep a cheap dent pushing air bladder in my rig for that purpose, it works well.
Hello , enjoying your videos . My Husband was a tow truck driver for close to 40 yrs. He always told his lock outs who were traveling, put a spare (tape) key behind front plate on vehicle . Then he says , you always have a quarter in your pocket to use as a screwdriver. Be safe . Love the truck .
👍Allie is the most positive kindest person person ever. In my head she’s my best friend from childhood and we used to go get ice cream together. 😂🤗💝🤗
love you guys but please DON'T disinfect gloves! They are disposable for a reason! Just throw em out when you're done! Lots of love from your friendly neighborhood Nurse Practitioner!
I'm sure they are not tossing the gloves so astonishingly conserve what they have. They may not have enough for every stop.
* as to*
Stoopid auto correct.
@@MamaBaer54 yeah but using Clorox is going to break down the latex so they aren't impermeable anymore. they are designed for single use. We actually don't have a glove shortage right now, that I know of. Mainly masks and gowns.
Medical practices may not have shortage of gloves but just like wipes, hand sanitizer and toilet paper, they are hard to find in stores and they dont want to stop in stores. In addition to the hand cleaning and extra precautions, the reusing of the gloves is better than nothing right? If only for peace of mind.
Be careful with Frank up front in a truck that has been in accidents and has mechanical issues. If yall where in an accident or an airbag malfunctioned it would be deadly to him I had a friend who's dog died in her lap from that.. even if hes unhappy its safer for him in the back and he will adjust. I just know how traumatic that would be. Safe travels and I cant wait to see what comes next.
I love frank. He can speak with his eyes. Please keep him safe in the back seat.
yeah, they don't seem to be overly concerned about the dog!!
I was looking at Sara & Luca, and they made a youtube update on severall people ,who are stuck in Argentina. And they showed a yard where a lot of overlanders left there Vans, and surprise I saw your Van, with your motor on de back. It was all looking verry good. He is a good guy who is watching over all the vehicles.
Your video brought back memories of when we had our dog team, dog sledding with friends who had a Westie . We use to load the dog into the truck cab when the team came in. One day my husband had left the keys in the ignition and when the West was in the truck hit the door locks. His lucky day, as he spoke to her thru the window she pawed the door and unlocked it! Glad you made it safe and sound! Look forward to your new adventures.
Just a note for folks using AAA...always nice to tip your person that comes out. Even a $5 is nice - most are not paid real well. 😊
Barbara Pastwa
If they did they would have shown it in their video.
Thank you for being safe for yourself for your selves and others
Good old low wage usa.
Good luck on the trip. Others have mentions the truck bed issues that could occur from rain and such, a truck canopy would have been a good investment at this point. Even in Salt Lake a truck with a canopy would be wise to have. Also, without much effort you could have created a great sleeping situation in the back. It's no van life but it works great for quick trips. Stay safe.
Great idea! I had a SUV and it was awesome to put the back seats down and sleep in the back. They could move things to the side or some to the front or back seat and sleep in the back as you say.
Or look into Soft Toppers if you don't want a permanent shell. Great for camping and more flexible use of the bed. Security hasn't been an issue in Utah so far.
of course you can put a board across the width and sleep in the back if you have the canopy. lots of storage underneath, dog would like too.
also nice to have crawl through can window in a canopy. I don’t have a truck, , but hear this about the board.
a honda element is probably too small for you. truck gas expensive though, but if it is your everything ... for the moment....understandable
"So it begins."
Don't you think you should make a quick side trip to get a few extra truck keys made before you take off?
All of the best journeys start off bumpy.
It makes you enjoy each perfect day so much more!
And not mind the bumps that come along so much.
The best of luck to the three of you! 🍀🍀🍀
Keys these days cost about $200 and its not a quick trip
That's awful! I had no idea.
But quick trip or long, it's better to have a spare than to hope someone will be able to help you.
It's costly and they might not be in a populated area next time it happens.
Although I'm sure Trent was watching how they got into the truck that time!
I am from Utah and I am rooting for both of you (and your doggy) to get back home! I am doing okay during this pandemic because I can go into the mountains we have here. There's no place like Utah.
This video brings back memories of my husband and I traveling back and forth from Arizona to the east coast. He would do all the driving because he was commercial truck driver and and wanted complete control of the steering wheel. It was fun by exhausting. Probably will never do it again. Enjoy it while you can.
Totally understand and appreciate all the precautions you are taking - just stay healthy and at home eventually. Love the truck
Dude, Allie rules. You locked the keys in the truck. Control freak? You lose 😋😂👍
Anytime you get out of a vehicle that's running, put down a window. Tip I learned from my auto shop days.
Rinyotsu Locked my keys in my first car while running because of remote start/alarm. Luckily I had my hood open so I just plugged the intake so it didn't run the whole time it took me to break in.
Good idea!
Trent and Allie your new truck is bad -ass! Love it! Frank is such a honey bunny! You guys are the most conscientious folks I have ever seen! Great vid!
Trent I am so glad you have Frank and Allie with you. You worry too much. Allie keeps you going though. Frank is without a doubt the glue that keeps you two together. I went on the rebel vanlife for almost ten years. I loved every minute of living like that. At 70 years old I realized I was not the tough old guy that I was at 60. The years took a toll on my body. I still love to just get out and spend time in the camper . Take care, be careful and don't let the little things bother you.
Allies mom has that look ,where she "looks at Trent and then looks at Allie and says good luck dear."..... Looking forward to a camper build out. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
Trent.
Heads up.
When she says "do you want me to take over".... Say "yes dear" ..... At least for this journey.
😁😁
At 2.40, Trent says, "Do you guys want to go take a look?" Well DUH. We are not here for the beer!
No beer ☹️
😂😂😂😂😂
Killer truck! Congratulations! I bet Frank will love it too! ♥️ You guys are very responsible keeping yourselves and others safe during this virus. Come explore Bend, Oregon sometime when this is all over!
I can't wait to see what you have planned. You guys always make the best of every situation. Stay safe out there!
I’ve notice Allie has a habit of travelling with her feet up on the dash, that’s a really really bad habit, especially in a Vehicle equipped with airbags.
My mom worked for a man years ago that did that and became paralyzed because of an accident. I always think of that when tempted to put my feet up on long trips. She really shouldn't do it!
I know a man who was left paralyzed from riding with his legs up on the dash.
I second this comment.👣✌
Hi...I think she does it b/c frank is on the floor...but sounds like a bad idea, hope she reads these comments!!! Blessings 🙋♀️
Kimberly Early ~ OMG! That’s good to know! I always put my feet up on the dash. I won’t be doing that anymore!!💕
"Am I being a jerk"? YES!! Good answer Allie.
Yup. He's a control freak and lately that streak has been worsening.
So nice that you guys have gloves, masks, and wipes. You can't find any of those here where I am. You couldn't even find a thermometer; something everyone should have to check their temperature once in a while.
Good day , hope you all get home safely .I will be waiting to see what you will be doing after getting settled at home .Stay safe ,take care .See Ya .
Loved watching your journeys on the van and will continue to watch. We all have to do what’s best for our families in this uncertain time.
Good morning you two. Let Allie drive the truck, fear not Trent. My wife drives a 2000 Saturn and I taught her to drive a 24,000 LB Skoolie with no problems and in two days. Relax Trent.
My daughter has a Jeep that locks the doors with the Jeep running. She got her self a spare key that fits the driver's door lock. It won't start the Jeep but it will unlock the driver's door so you can get into it.
Steve Rosenberger I had the same problem on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had a magnetic box under the car with a door key as well inside.
No matter what you do there will be critics.....you row your own boat....I’ll be criticized too for my opinion....just the way RUclips is
Thank you for sharing your trip across the country with us in your new rig. So glad to see that Frank made it with you guys from Argentina. Glad to see that you guys are healthy. Look forward to the next video
As a Mom/Grandma, I'd really miss you but I'd be Very proud of you! Trucks definitely make good 'car campers'. I could see you eventually getting a camper for it. It could also have a fun 'bed tent'!
I know you guys are missing your Van.. I saw it in Luca and Sara's Overlander update video... It looks like it's well protected and secure... I hope that's some small consolation for you... Nice truck BTW 👌
Nomad Mike I saw it too and was going to say the same! The van looks good guys. It’s parked next to a kombi
and it looks good!
Good luck, blessings, prayers and love, Amen!!
Trent: "Maybe I'm a control freak" yes, yes Trent you are a control freak ;) probably the reason why you hate flying too hehe
It's not control, it's anxiety. ✌💗
@@hw2326 I hear you, and get what you're saying. Makes total sense.
@@SisterSherryDoingStuff I came here to say that. As someone who lives with anxiety, I have compassion. ♥️
@@MermaidmomUP as do I. So I understand and have total compassion💗
In these days I would have anxiety if there was a virus on the seats! More then the flight!
Loved the Vid U3, Franck has settled well - but of course he would being in good company.👍
Thumbs up from me and my boys now in day 23 self isolating in the UK with our two beautiful dogs - woof woof.👍
Word of advice: when closing the doors with the engine running, take out the actual key from the fob so you can unlock the door.
I did that so I could let the ac run for my dog. When I came out the fob won't work if the key is on. Had to call AAA. Now I hide a key under truck.
I always leave a window slightly open if I leave the vehicle, that way you can open the door if it locks.
Just a quick note..N95 masks aren't useful if they are not fit tested. You might as well use a cloth mask, and save the N95 for the healthcare industry. Love the truck!😀
Improper ppe is useless at best and could make things worse
Really? I am a nurse and my husband has many mask in his garage to wear when doing projects. They are not taking anything away from healthcare workers. Many non-healthcare workers have these masks for various reasons.
In my next life, i want ali's hair.
paula brill oh definitely me too
You ate not alone!!
paula brill looks like her mom has curly hair too
Thought that the moment I saw her.
@@karendeakin8861 Brill oh...pun intended🤣
You guys are the coolest. I really appreciate how open you all are.
Overland life is looking like the new van life on RUclips. Assuming the mechanical issues are not that big of a deal, you have a pretty cool truck to get started. Good luck, please be carful, safe, and healthy!
If everything in life went like planned, we wouldn’t have a story to tell and laugh about later. What an adventure your life has been! I am sure you have noticed that there is ALWAYS a critic wherever you go and in whatever you do. Take the grains of wisdom and blow the chafe away. Wake up every morning intent on doing the best you know how. Stay safe and keep entertaining us armchair adventurers. God bless you, Frank and your journey. BTW. Where will you stay when you get to Utah. Haven’t you given up your apartment?
Yeah, it's all one fun pandemic adventure.....
Noticed that you had a 5th wheel hitch mounting rail in the bed of the truck. Could you have a 5th wheel tiny home in your future?
My guess too
Looks like it ❤
Saw that too. That’s my guess
I bought my tiny home just north of Utah - in Idaho :) There's several tiny home builders out that way... and I bought a very similar truck to pull it... I think you might be right!
Overland vehicle build, the channel has been listed under that category on RUclips for about 6 months. A tiny house would make sense if they plan on purchasing land but not for travel, due agree tho.
ya
ll stay safe...and safe includes keeping your feet off the dash Allie. If the air bag blows it will break both your legs.
More likely to kill you when your knees hit you straight in the face.
So inspiring to watch you guys, hope things only get better from here!
Great Job guys! you are being super responsible and thoughtful of others, thank you....long time fan keep it up..
Now THAT was entertaining .. the lock out. HAHA ... truth is I have done that!!! Am also guilty of being a "control driver" ..sorry you have to put up with that Allie! Your look and response to Trent was a familiar one lol. GET An EXTRA KEY MADE NOW
But if your like me, extra key in my purse and other key in ignition, jump out and lock the door.
You train yourself to take key out of pocket when one is in ignition..... that’s what I do, with my fob, since my car is keyless!!! It is NOT THAT DIFFICULT!! Sheesh......
I have a very funny story we had gotten a puppy and I was taking it home. I pulled into a gas station to get something to drink. We have a 2007 H3 Hummer and I didn't want the puppy to get hot so I left the truck running while I stepped out. The gas station was set up to where you didn't have to go in. you are able to purchase items right beside your vehicle. I was purchasing a pop when I heard the distinct sound of doors locking. I turn around and see the puppy in the window and her paws were on the lock. I tried everything I could to persuade the puppy to move around the hit the unlock button or at least even roll the window down. I wound up buying a Slim Jim and I don't mean the tool to unlock the door but an actual beef jerky type of treat. There was about eight or nine cars around me but no one really can see what or whom I was speaking to as I was saying come on baby open the door come on you can do it as I was waving the slim jim in front of the window. Well just so happened she hit the window to go down just a little bit. So I put a little bitty piece into the window to get her on top of the button again which worked but only to go down about 2 inches. so I get my hand into the window to try to reach the lock to no avail. so I put a little bit more of the Slim Jim into the window and then I hear the door unlock . now I'm right-handed and that was the hand that was in the window holding the Slim Jim and I'm trying to reach the door handle with my left hand to open the door daring this confrontation. The puppy gets ahold of the Slim Jim and locked the door before I can actually reach the handle. At this point I am getting mad and I start yelling at the puppy saying that if you don't open this door right now I'm going to choke you to death of course I would never ever do that but I was a bit frustrated because I am watching her eat this Slim Jim while I've got my hand still stuck in the window and now I have no way of getting my hand out to go get another treat. I was able to get my cell phone to call my girlfriend so we can have OnStar turned on and have them unlock my doors. now this is where it gets really funny I'm on the phone with OnStar explaining to the lady what is going on and what has happened so far. And the lady from OnStar is cracking up at this point and in turn caused me to calm down a bit for the moment. the lady from OnStar was able to remotely unlock my door keep in mind my hand still stuck in the window and I'm trying to use my left hand to open the door and I guess the puppy thought that I had another treat in my hand because as I was reaching for the door handle she jumped back up to the window and actually rolled the window up even more against my hand and locked the door at the same time. I start yelling at the puppy again and the only person that knew what was really going on was the lady from OnStar and I'm not really paying attention to the people around me because I'm more interested in getting into the vehicle. I am telling the puppy I'm going to strangle it, never going to feed it again, make it sleep outside, go and get its brother and let him live in the house while she slept outside. at this point I'm hearing people around me gasping like what in the world is wrong with this guy treating his kids like this. the lady from OnStar couldn't even talk to me because she was laughing so hard. well I guess there's a process that needs to happen each time they try to unlock your door so it takes a few seconds or so. We proceeded to do this exact same scenario three more times and i was getting looser and looser with my words each time. finally the fourth time I was able to hold the handle and pull it right when she unlocked it and I flung that door open like I was Superman pulling the door off of a burning house. I had to climb up onto the running board so I can reach over with my left hand to roll the window down to get my hand out and I grab the keys out even though I had the door wide open to keep me from getting locked out again. Now I have my head inside the door and looking at the puppy saying why did you do this to me as I picked her up so I can get in to the vehicle and that is when everybody around me realized I'm talking to a dog . and now everyone is dying laughing. a couple years after that we started hearing OnStar commercials of kind of similar scenarios and I really thought that they would be trying to get a holding of us to make one out of that because it was insanely hilarious after the fact of course
Omg you need a comedy channel lolol
Terry Bolin That’s really funny . Thanks for sharing .
I'm really calm and clear thinking in emergencies. Or i have been so far, knock on wood. That could have turned really bad (if the truck started moving), it actually got worse because your hand was caught in the window.
Hope you don't take your dog on anymore car rides.
I always carry a spare key because my dog has the same habit of locking the doors. I have to keep the windows locked cause he opens and closes them and am afraid he might get his head caught inthe window. Glad all had a good ending and that you forgave your puppy!
About three weeks ago was the last time I left my house to go grocery shopping… Ran out of groceries and went shopping again yesterday. Food only and then I went home.
What I’m going to explain now probably has to do with the fact that I don’t see it on a regular basis outside of my house. I’m also scared because I am high risk considering I get pneumonia often, even as early as last year. And then I think I’m suffering a little bit from manapuase (emotional); BUT, without any shame I have to admit I found myself standing in the middle of Walmart crying.
It’s an emotional time for all of us, and seeing people dodge others in the store like we’re all playing a game of dodgeball in middle school. This time was notably different because of all the people with masks on their face. This was in Sioux Falls South Dakota. The world is affected in many ways... could this honestly become a new normal?
Oh, and you just triggered me with that lovely sandwich you pulled out and I seen the lettuce on it. I forgot lettuce at the store and it’s been years since I put lettuce on the sandwich and I was really wanting some lettuce. So thanks for that - not! J/k of coarse, but I did forget and wanted lettuce.
In the US anything can happen. In Europe though its all back to normal. The government pretending the people are following the rules and the people not giving a shit about what the government says.
Rense Bakker I’m a bit confused. So you (your country) are living your life without a care, even though it’s not over & your government is telling you to be careful. Isn’t that reckless?
@@FynnOliverEmonSill Very. But such is life when the government refuses to put their foot down.
@@RenseBakker - Which country or countries in Europe? On his channel, Nate Murphy is documenting the lockdown restrictions in Spain (he owns property there and is allowing three stranded van families to stay on this land) plus explaining how the police works enforce those restrictions. Greg Virgoe documented the requirements and the lockdown restrictions he and three other British van lifers encountered in heeding their government's "come home" instructions as they traveled through Portugal, Spain and France.
Trent and Allie make sure if you go to gas stops to spray them down with disinfected spray please the stall lock and door before you leave. I had to do this for doordash. Especially now with restaurant dining areas are closed. Be safe and stay healthy. I had my scare with covid19 myself and on Wednesday this week I was negitive!!! So happy. Don't save same glove even if you try to clean it. CDC does not want you to keep same glove at all.
I’m so sorry you guys got some negative comments last time! I think you all have been super careful and managed to remain positive!! I love the new truck! Can’t wait to continue the adventure with you guys. Please give Frank some hugs ❤️
Trent with Allie driving is such a guy thing to do. Haha. She seems like a fine driver. Frank is a good dog.
We've all been there! I put "The Club" on my steering wheel & locked my truck. I then proceeded to go swimming at Virgina Beach with my keys in my pocket. The AAA guys was able to un-lock my door & make a key to start the truck. Only thing is, he was really weird about "The Club". He said that "legally" he couldn't remove it from my steering wheel. So I was like, f*#k! I'm either gonna have to cut the steering wheel, or wait till the morning & call a locksmith. So then the AAA dude says that I can borrow his drill & remove "The Club" myself. Apparently that was "legally" OK to do. So I then proceeded to break three of his drill bits drilling out the lock. After the 1st one, I could tell he was hesitant to give me another one. I don't know how I talked him into giving me a 3rd one. I was like " It's so close!! It's gonna pop any second!! I guess when it's not your drill & drill bits, your always the eternal optimist!
"There's nobody on these roads right now." There is a reason for that.
I like your Dodge ram truck I have one and I love it good night see you in the morning
You don't say.. captain obvious over here..
You are correct Captain Moron.
Keep on keeping on guys. Do what's best for you and stay safe while doing it.
Good to see you on the road again safe and well. Allie's new truck is awesome :). Frank looks right at home. Stay safe!
Use a glove with the hand that holds the wipe. You should toss the used gloves and use new next time. Also, you should switch off drivers when traveling. Cap on the back and a blow up mattress and there is your room for the night.
I drove across the country that way. No bed, just sleeping bag in the back. Topper isn't going to work with a 5th wheel
Safe driving you guys. Just remember, “There’s no place like home”.
Allie: "We're eating sandwiches to save money."
also Allie: Buys a big-ass 4x4 diesel pickup. 8-D
I'm with you on that one. Look, even how they live they live like Kings and Queens and being so young wow, how stupid do they think we are believing that they are poor. Ok, they seem to be a nice couple I give them that but speaking of money ok, I think that they have plenty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TCB.
@@tcb1017 I made my comment just to be silly... I'm not making any guesses as to their finances, nor do I want to; that's their business. The truck is used, they have families who might help, the whole situation is very much out of the ordinary & requires out-of-the-ordinary actions, etc. etc. etc. Let's not rag on them for living their lives as they choose -- I was one of the folks yelling, "STAY PUT!" but after watching the first half of how they're traveling vs. what I see around me every day, they're doing a damn sight better than at least 80% of the population. Live & let live, I' not here to be anyone's banker. :-)
@@nairbvel You are so right, I'm with you. They seem to be a nice couple all the best to them.
@@nairbvel Did you two just become brothers?
Takes money to live in suburban DC.
I LOVE you guys!!! I just happened to stumble onto your videos and have been watching them, actually bingeing on them!!! Love your attitudes and outlook on life!!! You ARE living life the way you want to!!! By the way, I flew to Tucson last year to pick up a truck I had bought from a cousin. Stopping in Sedona in a freezing rain storm and thought I needed to take a picture, I hopped out of my truck and somehow, someway I locked the door behind me!!! Thank goodness I was taking pictures with my cellphone and was able to call AAA! I just knew that the help that was on its way would be a long time, as the guy on the phone gave a ETA of 70 minutes!!!! I just knew I would be a frozen human in nothing but shorts and a tee when help arrived!!! I was amazed when he showed up in 20 minutes!!! I did hang out in a covered shelter and read everything on the wall tell he got there!!! You guys are doing great, I have no qualms or concerns about you being on the road, doing what you enjoy living and making the best of a bad situation! And, if you were REALLY worried about Allie's driving you WOULD not be able to take a nap!!!! I know!!! LOL! Be Safe, Stay Healthy, and Don't Litter!
I need to catch up with your videos and find out what all happened, but I am kinda grieving the loss of your van. I really admired your sense of adventure, especially in South America. You learned the language, adopted their food and drink, and seemed to have wonderful rapport with the locals wherever you went, I hope you can do more adventuring when this pandemic is over. God bless and safe travels to you, and thank you. Oh and Happy Easter :) Ostara, whatever.
I'm interested to see what the plan is. Lots of BLM land out there and beautiful places to explore, places where a 4x4 would be handy, maybe use a trailer as a base camp to explore from. Wild guesses. Safe travels!
Tracy Thorn yeah I was thinking the same, trailer or tiny home build!?! Who knows, I’m excited to find out.
