    David this video is so rad. Canada looks like an entirely different world. So beautiful. Love the way you put your videos together it makes it so easy to watch. That cinematic drone segment in the beginning was freaking rad. 👍🏼 keep up THE GRIND.🎉

    Great video, here we get a little bit more of just driving sounds, narration, and less music. Seems like most overlanders on UA-cam are just posting non-stop music videos. Nothing wrong with music here and there, especially on the wide shots, but this is more of a documentary of your adventure, which is refreshing.

    Love going up to the Island. I would get over it being paved real quick when you are by the water like that. No need to level it!

    • @OFFTHEGRIND
      @OFFTHEGRIND  Рік тому

      Haha it was just so random it seemed. Obviously there was logging in the area and that’s why this are was paved, but we hadn’t seen pavement in a long time. And yeah, so nice to just park and not worry about leveling!!

    Really enjoyed this video, I discovered your channel when you posted your Idaho trip to the Owyhee’s and was really impressed with your cinematography. This recent video was a nice change from the gear reviews and such. I know they’re important for channel growth, but you have real talent with a camera and I enjoyed seeing more of the beautiful scenery 👍 oh, and would love to see more of your guitar 😁

      I honestly HATE doing review videos. Going in to the next year, I really want to focus on adventure videos only. There’s still some stuff I’ll do on occasion, but only if I really believe in the product and company.
      But thank you and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’d like to incorporate more guitar work in there for sure. Hard to play in the freezing temps of this year though
