      @Kaden Marco I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
      Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    Hey there guys again!
    About ''what sucks behind the scenes'' - i don't think filling up the water or doing groceries suck, it is part of vanlife and also searching for campsites...it's all part of it...kinda the beauty of it that u can find new interesting places and discover new spots and meet new people :)
    and you have to make longer videos :P can't get enough !
    Good Luck!:)

    Thanks for all the info and tips!
    I'm actively planning my escape from here -- might be a permanent escape for all I know, although too early to say. I just know there's many beautiful places I want to see, where also, I can live like a King on my modest portfolio income.
    Look forward to hearing about cost of things that, as a tourist, one would want or need -- and of course the sights, the VIEWS and all the ruins and architecture.
    Oh and any laws that might come as a surprise to those of us from North America -- gun laws for example, not that I personally need or want to carry, just as an example (I know, weird for a Canadian to ask about, lol). I've heard that it feels very safe and it's just the stories that you hear that make people nervous.
    Enjoy your travels and know that I'm grateful to be learning from your experiences! Many Thanks!!

    Thank you for ALL the very useful information. When we first starting chatted about visiting Baja one day, I was against the idea. But after watching you guys and a few others, it's starting to look quite appealing! Great video guys, enjoy the sunshine and the beaches!

    • @MathersOnTheMap

    i have followed multiple van lifer's that have toured mexico and the whole country looks amazing! i hope you guys have fun, i look forward to following you on your exploits, keep up the great work, the vlog seems to get better with every episode. btw you could practically see taylor's whole being shine as she left the cold mountains to the sun drenched beaches, definitely a warm weather gal.

    New to channel. Great info! Especially enjoy seeing travel days, roads (narrowness) scenic terrain, water & fuel (costs!) supply. Planning our journey this winter.
    Suggest you may want a 12v pump (Tractor supply) and fittings to transfer water from jugs. Draw water from Jerry can & pump (pressurized) into van tank.

    • @MathersOnTheMap

      Thank you Tom! A ton of folks recommended a drill pump too, but I didn't mind the mini workout lifting those jugs up in the air! haha

    Hello, I am sorry to bother you .... I want to tell you to be very careful in Mexicali Baja California, there are many drug traffickers and do not confess with anyone with the municipal and state police, because they are corrupt ... I advise you to approach with ña guard National that are military and the navy ... because there is a lot of organized crime ... be very careful, God bless and enjoy it the beauty in Baja California Sur, La Paz, it is the most beautiful place and the sea is wonderful and humpback whales beautiful, even dolphins .... greetings.

      That's what we use - great for offgrid vanlife, backpacking and backcountry skiing - you can text with it or via being paired with your phone. We use it all the time and it has the SOS button if you are in real trouble

  • @ericktellez7632
    @ericktellez7632 3 роки тому

    If you guys had a sedan type car its even easier. The reason why they had to check your car its because it was a van/RV. When you cross using a regular sedan type car you can literally just drive non stop into Mexico.

    Make sure you get to a car wash when you leave the beach, the salt can be rough on your van. 🧂💦 🚘 = rust
