there’s a secret run of japan merch on the website! on my instagram @mavrikjoos and @mav.outdoors we are posting a link to the map of my entire trip! just in case your inspired.
Man I’m truly impressed that you went to Japan by yourself with no help whatsoever, going out of your comfort zone. Would love to do that one day ❤ truly an inspiration
Dude I am so excited for this series. There's a lot of 'day in the life Japan/Tokyo' videos on UA-cam, but not through an American's perspective. A strange man wandering through a strange land. You are awesome, dude. Thank you.
A Japanese UA-camr Moriko mentioned that she met you at a camp site in Japan. She didn’t even have any idea who you are! 🎉Glad we don’t have to wait long for your uploads. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Japan is a beautiful and special country. Good food, beautiful landscape and nice people. Bet you make new friends and enjoyed every minute of the adventure!
@@MeTreesndirt If you know anything about Japan, there are hundreds of camp sites in the country. If you have watched Moriko’s video, she was camping on a day with almost nobody there!
dude is so chill about everything i love this kind of energy😤😤 I started binge watching after I discovered the 5 star hotel camping video and I’m starting to feel like i’m part of the trip🤣
Haha Started to put a comment that I wish Mav could meet up with you, @Dentan my other Fav car camper UA-camr then I scroll down and see your post. Sweet!
Me and my wife were just talking about how you should do the overnight camping over seas just the other night! Glad you did it Mav, We’re excited to see this adventure and your other adventures overseas 😊🙏🏼
Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18-21, 23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Welcome to Japan man! I've been here almost 8 years. Seeing you go to the convenience store and driving around makes me remember how new this all used to seem. If you run into trouble and need anything, let me know I'm in the Tokyo area (Akiruno).
It's cool that your visiting Japan Mav. You are an adventurer for sure and Japan seems like a cool country to visit. You are also very friendly to every one you have come across as well. I do hope to truck or van camp myself some day. Mav you are living it up for sure and I do look foward to your new vids as well. That knife you made looks good too. Mav keep on being authentic and your true self and take care.
Isn't it such a breath of fresh air to have such clean environment? Clean taxis, clean streets, clean campgrounds, clean rentals.......That is one thing Americans could learn from the Japanese culture and something I vividly remember from my travels there.
Bro, you just took this channel to another level. Love it. Japan is one of the coolest places in the world to visit. Can't wait to see what adventures you have over there.
Wow dude, I went to Tokyo once for work for about a week.. I was incredibly intimidated by the language barrier and had to really force myself to go do anything. I admire your willingness to step into the unknown for a whole month. Seems like you're getting by pretty well, really looking forward to the future Japan videos!
Most Japanese people have studied English for ten years in school. They are shy about speaking and will say they don't speak English but in fact a person who speaks no Japanese will have no trouble getting by in Japan. Most Japanese understand English grammar better than many native English speakers. They value education there. The Japanese people have to learn to read and write 2000 characters in order to be fully literate and are learning them right through high school. It's a different mentality there. They are diligent people. Also polite, kind, peaceful, ethical and fun-loving.
You can program your phone now to speak a different language for you. Just speak in it anit will repeat. What you saying in the language. Technology can be cool sometimes ☺️
i am a woman from Trinidad and Tobago that moved to nyc then to nc and i am fascinated by Japanese culture. I been an avid follower of you and Steve and other camping and bushcrafting channels.. i want to learn Japanese and visit there soon. This is awesome Mav and tuning in for more of the international Mav travels.
MAV! My guy! Finally getting out into the big world and checking out other cultures. My favorite part of life honestly. When I heard you thank that girl in the elevator in Japanese I knew you were doing it right! Enjoy it man! I'm 32 now but did a lot of traveling in my 20s and I hold it close to my heart. Much love brother!
Wow! How different is Japan's way of life. It's so amazing. The social mores, down to how one ties the kimono was interesting. I can't imagine what Japanese thought of our Western culture.😱 The food was prepared so beautifully and it must have been amazing. What a great way to shake off stress. Your knife turned out really well considering the language barrier. I think you spoke and understood enough to get the job done. Amazing ppl Mav. Amazing video. Until next time! Keep on trucking Mav!😊
@@rockycvs3 Totally agree. I was in Okinawa and have been back a few times on very short trips but I always hoped that I would be able to go back one day and live.
Just took my dream trip to Japan at the end of October into November. Thought I would go and be satisfied and could mark it off of my bucket list but instead into turned into a passion. It is a truly amazing and beautiful country
Welcome to Japan! So wild to see MAV in familiar places and scenery... literally rented a camper from the same car rental before. I am 8 months pregnant right now and I had to take a break from road-tripping for a while now. I am so happy to experience this Japan-on-the-road vibes through your videos!
I just cant believe it! Both of my favorite things to watch on youtube....Mav camping and winter camping in Japan! can't wait to see all your Japan videos!
Highly recommend visiting Kyoto and Fuji. The bullet trains are cool too. Also, there are mountain towns with rustic villages set up to show how artisans and workers made and sold their wares.
Love that you took in that art installation-best part is immersing yourself into a country with such a completely different language & culture is in itself turning your senses of reality/normality upside down. 🥰 Best part of foreign travel, imho. An envious physical & mental reset. Safe travels w/Toto, stay well - can’t wait to follow your adventures! ⛺️🎣🇯🇵
No way! I've been a subscriber for a minute and I'm also hanging out in Japan for another couple weeks. Stoked to see you here! Japan is amazing and didn't even think to consider the RV angle, coming from someone that travels full time. The people, food, things to do are all great. Glad you're liking it too!
Japan is such a unique experience. I've been 5 times, but never had the privilege of going camping. I've only experienced Tokyo for ~12 weeks and taking the train up to Sapporo from Tokyo for a weekend.
I am envious of you visiting Japan! I also want to say how much joy your videos bring me. You're so confident in your journey and nothing stops you from a challenge!
For fishing you can usually find Suzuki (a sea bass) under salt water bridges that have lights on the bridge and you can find chinu usually around the boats by the seawalls. I've found that the tiny crabs work best for chinu with a small hook and size 4b weight just above the hook (the lead ones that you squeeze with pliers) both make for a great meal but Suzuki is by far more fun to catch.
this is actually super cool! ive been wanting to go to japan one day. how you mentioned getting around town not knowing the language, shopping, and getting out of the comfort zone are definitely my top concerns. gives me a bit more confidence seeing someone just GO for it, and step out of their normal boundaries as well
As an American, I've lived in Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Japan and visited countless other countries without speaking the language. It's a blast and you learn along the way. Bosnia and Japan are my favorites because of how friendly the people are. Old Town Sarajevo is gorgeous. Just go for it!
Congratulations young man for going out of your comfort zone, and especially going to Japan. You can never go wrong with traveling the world Mav. Looking forward to watching the next video for sure!! ❤
I lived there 6 years at Yokota Airbase. Best time of my life! My dad use to take me up to Mt Fuji to camp/ swim in the rivers all the time. We would drive all the dirt roads leading up the mountains on scooters. It's amazing how different it is when you get out of the city. I'll never forget seeing a huge "Ninja base" on the mountain side. I would give anything to get back there one day! Have fun brother and enjoy it!
japan is my dream country to visit and im completely in love with their vast and diverse and just unique culture! so glad you've done this mav 🥺 also well done! this is majorly outta anyone's normal comfort zone and is v brave of you to fully commit to this, so cool to see 🫶
@@deleteriousss if you expect too much from Japan. the country is not very clean. they are literally rats on the on the streets in bigger cities. politeness is superficial etc.
@@KuruKuruGorilla i mean- dude.. i'm not completely backwards to not recognise that everything has its flaws? no country is perfect, i just personally admire japan's culture. i'm just kinda confused as to how my comment insinuates im holding japan on this unrealistic pedestal. most people have a dream country they want to visit, and most people are interested in a country's culture.. these don't necessarily link with my perspective of japan's welfare
@@deleteriousss Japan was my DREAM too but to live in... until I actually start living in, turned out my DREAM was delusional. You know Dream is a big word that I won't use it easly anymore.
god i miss japan so much. i stayed in Hakuba for a month 6 years ago and i've been dying to go back. i think the guy at 12:36 was worried about how cold you would be in a normal car until he saw the RV. "ah! camping car!" i smiled.
Ok now I'm super jealous. I was born in Japan 60 years ago. Only lived there for 9 months before my parents flew back to the states. I've always dreamed of going back to visit.
i did a 6 month tour at yokota air base in 2020 (30 mins from shinjuku) and on the weekends i would explore all over tokyo and yokohama. i loved japan so much. didnt have a car so i never got to go very far from the train stations so im excited to see your adventures! brings back good memories just hearing the automated japanese voices in 7 eleven 🥹
What a pleasant surprise! As one of your Otaku viewers & I'm sure there has to be others .. I must say seeing you in Japan is great 👍 .. all that aside it is also strangely motivating seeing you navigate in foreign lands. Putting yourself out there can lead to such amazing outcomes , ty for the reminder.
MAV! This is so exciting. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. I cannot wait!! You are one of the few people I watch religiously on UA-cam and binge your old content. Keep it up!!
Mav! My guy! Finally exploring the world! You might want to check out New Zealand one day. They have incredible views, crystal clear lakes (in NZ you can drink straight from them, no filter needed!) and lots of national parks and campgrounds!
Go for it before thing ended up worst BTW checkout Canadian prepper keep up with going on in the world. Stay safe and be prepare in life and as always you're awesome. 🤗
I am from Japan and currently living in San Diego, CA. When you came to California, you washed your truck near my place. In this video, you came near my home town. I used to play at that park when I was a kid.
I love when Mav gets these "I wanna go somewhere totally new" inspirations. Don't get me wrong, I love and always will love his local area and original content, but I get a special eye-widening reaction when I see a title like this. Keep on truckin, keep on evolving ✌
I remember watching you back before you had 100k subscribers, taking a bit of an unintentional break from your channel, only to come back and see your channel BOOMING. I’m so happy for you bro
Awesome video Mav! Really excited to see the rest of your adventures camping in Japan. I’ve traveled there once years ago but the last few years have really gotten into Japanese camping UA-camrs. It’s really interesting seeing how they camp, their vehicles/campers and the types of things they cook. If you don’t already watch them, I definitely recommend “Coupy Channel”, “Dentan” and “Tales Along the Way”. All are really cool UA-cam channels. Cheers!
Hey Mav, its "Arigatou Gozaimasu", the Gozaimasu just makes it even more polite. Another useful phrase you might like is: Osusume wa nan desu-ka?, or in order words, "Recommendation? / do you have a recommendation"? Works really well when you're looking at a menu and you want the waiter to give you recommendations on what's tasty.
My wife and I have been watching you for awhile, excited to see you experience Japan. We've lived here for the last couple years. We're currently near Tokyo on a road trip, heading toward Nagano to check out the snow monkeys in a few days, then Mt fuji, then working our way back home toward the Yamaguchi area. If you'd like to link up, just let me know!
Mav this is awesome! I lived in Japan back in 2002 and was able to travel throughout the country. If an Alabama boy could make it, you'll have no problem at all! Such a beautiful and welcoming country! Safe travels my friend.
Just wow! Japan is on my bucket list of places to visit! I will be watching your journey and learning how a someone from the Midwest can adapt and travel in a foreign land. Hope you have an amazing adventure!
Very proud of you Mav 👏 I grew up in Duluth area! So it's really cool seeing a local do amazing things! You are such a gentleman. Looking forward to more cool stuff you share with us and awesome places that you go to. Keep it up Mav.
Loving this spontaneous solo adventure to Japan. Went there a couple years ago with some friends and loved it, but barely touched the size of the country (mainly stayed in Tokyo and Kyoto). As much as you are an outdoors/scenery/environment type of person, don't hesitate to spend extra $$ on food and eating out! Food is another way to learn and enjoy the culture, it'd be a waste to not enjoy it while you're there!
Yes, I was waiting for mav to upload before a sleep ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Watching from Kenya east of Africa Three years of following each and every video you upload, Lets keep camping
Looks like this is going to be a fun trip! I like that you're cooking Japanese meals as well. It gives me some food ideas to switch things up in the home😄 That campsite looked very clean! Looks like they probably rake it daily. Looking forward to the next video!
I miss the convenience stores in Japan. They are amazing. You can find almost everything you need in one. This is going to be an amazing series of videos.
This motivates me to go ahead & go to Japan this summer I figured navigating would be hard but you made it look so easy. I feel as long as I plan ahead & have the right apps installed I should be alright. Thanks for taking us along Mav ✨
I am a firm believer that one of the absolute best travel companions to take with you on an adventure is a mechanical wristwatch.. I’m not sure I have ever seen you with that one before, but congrats on a great piece!
Mav, I have enjoyed your video. First time watcher. I heard of you from another UA-camr when she was car camping in Japan. Then I found a video when you were Camping with Steve. I’m not a blogger or UA-camr but someone who enjoys tent camping and car camping. I do like your adventures and will continue to follow. This year I plan to head up to the eastern part of Canada. First time and I’m excited. Bless you Mav 🙏 and keep up the great videos.
Been watching your videos for a few years now. And I'm super stoked to follow you on this adventure! Japan is easily in my top 5 countries to visit at some point in my life! The culture seems incredible, food looks delicious, and the people seem so hospitable and wholesome.
This is FREAKIN amazing MAV!!! love the video. as a fan that's Japanese and misses his homeland, I hope you enjoy your adventures there. god bless bud. and safe journeys.
there’s a secret run of japan merch on the website!

japan is my dream country to visit and im completely in love with their vast and diverse and just unique culture! so glad you've done this mav 🥺 also well done! this is majorly outta anyone's normal comfort zone and is v brave of you to fully commit to this, so cool to see 🫶
If you expect too much you'll be disappointed
@@KuruKuruGorilla i don't expect too much?
@@deleteriousss if you expect too much from Japan. the country is not very clean. they are literally rats on the on the streets in bigger cities. politeness is superficial etc.
@@KuruKuruGorilla i mean- dude.. i'm not completely backwards to not recognise that everything has its flaws? no country is perfect, i just personally admire japan's culture. i'm just kinda confused as to how my comment insinuates im holding japan on this unrealistic pedestal. most people have a dream country they want to visit, and most people are interested in a country's culture.. these don't necessarily link with my perspective of japan's welfare
@@deleteriousss Japan was my DREAM too but to live in... until I actually start living in, turned out my DREAM was delusional. You know Dream is a big word that I won't use it easly anymore.
god i miss japan so much. i stayed in Hakuba for a month 6 years ago and i've been dying to go back. i think the guy at 12:36 was worried about how cold you would be in a normal car until he saw the RV. "ah! camping car!" i smiled.
Ok now I'm super jealous. I was born in Japan 60 years ago. Only lived there for 9 months before my parents flew back to the states. I've always dreamed of going back to visit.
White people didnt put your parents in cages when they arrived?
Its never too late to see Japan
This is going to be an epic series! When you get back to the states you should do a live video and take questions about this journey.
i did a 6 month tour at yokota air base in 2020 (30 mins from shinjuku) and on the weekends i would explore all over tokyo and yokohama. i loved japan so much. didnt have a car so i never got to go very far from the train stations so im excited to see your adventures! brings back good memories just hearing the automated japanese voices in 7 eleven 🥹
I live in Japan, so I know a lot of good places in Japan. I also like how foreign travelers come to Japan and show me good things.
LOVE THIS - Mav, definitely hire a Japanese editor to add Japanese captions! You’ll get a massive audience from the Japanese peeps
Could just be from a translator site. Easy to copy and paste the characters into it.
Dude has over 2 million subscribers I think he’s doing fine, doesn’t need to hire a Japanese editor.
I got you
@@Caz-z1x found the super fan. Cringe
@@damienlu7318 Right? Sounds like he's his online bodyguard 😂
What a pleasant surprise! As one of your Otaku viewers & I'm sure there has to be others .. I must say seeing you in Japan is great 👍 .. all that aside it is also strangely motivating seeing you navigate in foreign lands. Putting yourself out there can lead to such amazing outcomes , ty for the reminder.
Mav lookin hella clean with the new hair cut!
MAV! This is so exciting. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. I cannot wait!! You are one of the few people I watch religiously on UA-cam and binge your old content. Keep it up!!
My man Mav going worldwide! Love to see it bud!
Waiting for Cancun
@@AwesomeBlackDude I might be wrong but I think he did that last summer or the one before
@@neuspaper Yeah agree 👍 we need to do a Google search on that one.
Mav! My guy! Finally exploring the world! You might want to check out New Zealand one day. They have incredible views, crystal clear lakes (in NZ you can drink straight from them, no filter needed!) and lots of national parks and campgrounds!
If we had time machines I would go.
Wow! I did not see this coming! I am so jealous, I have wanted to do this for a long time. Excited to see your adventures in Japan!
Go for it before thing ended up worst BTW checkout Canadian prepper keep up with going on in the world.
Stay safe and be prepare in life and as always you're awesome. 🤗
We’ll stop being jealous an go make it happen idiot
@@catfishhunter4893 you do realize that mav uses his own money and even buys his dad stuff right? He recently bought him a snowmobile.
Lol dude wants to be irl streamer so bad. That patreon aint gonna last forever.
@@contentdeleted4978 he doesn't have a patreon you square. Try better bait next time, but that has to be hard with a berlin temp IQ
I am from Japan and currently living in San Diego, CA. When you came to California, you washed your truck near my place. In this video, you came near my home town. I used to play at that park when I was a kid.
I love when Mav gets these "I wanna go somewhere totally new" inspirations. Don't get me wrong, I love and always will love his local area and original content, but I get a special eye-widening reaction when I see a title like this. Keep on truckin, keep on evolving ✌
I currently live in Japan! If you need anything, you have support. Enjoy your trip and can’t wait to see the next adventure!
I remember watching you back before you had 100k subscribers, taking a bit of an unintentional break from your channel, only to come back and see your channel BOOMING. I’m so happy for you bro
Mav took NEW YEAR NEW ME to a extremely new level! love it! one thing that did not change is that positivity! LOVE IT!
Awesome video Mav! Really excited to see the rest of your adventures camping in Japan. I’ve traveled there once years ago but the last few years have really gotten into Japanese camping UA-camrs. It’s really interesting seeing how they camp, their vehicles/campers and the types of things they cook. If you don’t already watch them, I definitely recommend “Coupy Channel”, “Dentan” and “Tales Along the Way”. All are really cool UA-cam channels. Cheers!
Love seeing how happy you are doing what you truly love man. You’re a true inspiration and it’s great to have humans like you in today’s society.
As someone who has lived in Japan for 4 years recently, I give you mad respect. It sure isn’t easy doing it alone
Hey Mav, its "Arigatou Gozaimasu", the Gozaimasu just makes it even more polite. Another useful phrase you might like is: Osusume wa nan desu-ka?, or in order words, "Recommendation? / do you have a recommendation"? Works really well when you're looking at a menu and you want the waiter to give you recommendations on what's tasty.
My wife and I have been watching you for awhile, excited to see you experience Japan. We've lived here for the last couple years. We're currently near Tokyo on a road trip, heading toward Nagano to check out the snow monkeys in a few days, then Mt fuji, then working our way back home toward the Yamaguchi area. If you'd like to link up, just let me know!
How come your name is Kadir Perez ? Are u half Arab half Latino ?
I lived in Iwakuni for a few months and it was amazing. They people I met were very friendly and we still stay in touch.
I love you mav be safe driving everytime you travel gods on your side🤞🏽
Damn boy you've come a long way from sneaking into resorts & now to Japan! This is going to be fun to watch!
Mav this is awesome! I lived in Japan back in 2002 and was able to travel throughout the country. If an Alabama boy could make it, you'll have no problem at all! Such a beautiful and welcoming country! Safe travels my friend.
Just wow! Japan is on my bucket list of places to visit! I will be watching your journey and learning how a someone from the Midwest can adapt and travel in a foreign land. Hope you have an amazing adventure!
Very proud of you Mav 👏 I grew up in Duluth area! So it's really cool seeing a local do amazing things! You are such a gentleman. Looking forward to more cool stuff you share with us and awesome places that you go to. Keep it up Mav.
Lookin' sharp with the hair trim there bud, that's a sweet little Camper too!! Very cool that you're in Japan taking an epic trip, let's goooooo!!!!
Loving this spontaneous solo adventure to Japan. Went there a couple years ago with some friends and loved it, but barely touched the size of the country (mainly stayed in Tokyo and Kyoto). As much as you are an outdoors/scenery/environment type of person, don't hesitate to spend extra $$ on food and eating out! Food is another way to learn and enjoy the culture, it'd be a waste to not enjoy it while you're there!
Yes,
I was waiting for mav to upload before a sleep ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watching from Kenya east of Africa
Three years of following each and every video you upload,
Lets keep camping
Can’t wait to see what he cooks in this trip , livin out my dream 🤘
Perfect way to end a good weekend, New vid from Mav 🍻
How absolutely exciting!! Such an adventure. You are so brave to do this all by yourself with just a translator app and your smile. Great video
Hey Mav, love the videos. Seeing this 1 minute after you posted it. keep posting man can't wait for more
Looks like this is going to be a fun trip! I like that you're cooking Japanese meals as well. It gives me some food ideas to switch things up in the home😄
That campsite looked very clean! Looks like they probably rake it daily.
Looking forward to the next video!
Well yeah!! Looking forward to this entire adventure Mav.
I miss the convenience stores in Japan. They are amazing. You can find almost everything you need in one. This is going to be an amazing series of videos.
This motivates me to go ahead & go to Japan this summer I figured navigating would be hard but you made it look so easy. I feel as long as I plan ahead & have the right apps installed I should be alright. Thanks for taking us along Mav ✨
I am a firm believer that one of the absolute best travel companions to take with you on an adventure is a mechanical wristwatch.. I’m not sure I have ever seen you with that one before, but congrats on a great piece!
Mav, I have enjoyed your video. First time watcher. I heard of you from another UA-camr when she was car camping in Japan. Then I found a video when you were Camping with Steve. I’m not a blogger or UA-camr but someone who enjoys tent camping and car camping. I do like your adventures and will continue to follow. This year I plan to head up to the eastern part of Canada. First time and I’m excited. Bless you Mav 🙏 and keep up the great videos.
I can't wait to see Japan through your eyes. Safe travels 🙏 💕
I love that your in Japan and we all get to live vicariously through you! ❤️ 🤗
Great adventure! Great food! Beautiful island and amazing culture!
Very interested to see you in a situation that you’re not used to! Have fun Mav, can’t wait for the rest of the videos.
Been watching your videos for a few years now. And I'm super stoked to follow you on this adventure! Japan is easily in my top 5 countries to visit at some point in my life! The culture seems incredible, food looks delicious, and the people seem so hospitable and wholesome.
Awesome; been binge watching Abroad in Japan and Tokyo Lens for the last couple of months and now you too are in the land of my dreams ❤️🙋♀️
Appreciate the vid mav keep killing it!
Japan is like a country from another planet, it looks amazing
Proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone! Can’t wait for this next set of uploads!
This is FREAKIN amazing MAV!!! love the video. as a fan that's Japanese and misses his homeland, I hope you enjoy your adventures there. god bless bud. and safe journeys.
Hey Mav, at some point it would be awesome to see a road-trip through parts of Europe. Really enjoyed this video!
Japan is definitely the place for car/truck camping!! So thrilled to be able to experience through you! Thank you for Take us places
Been watching you for 3 years already and I never expected this to happen at all. You’re the man mav! Can’t wait to see more of this trip!
Yes Japan can’t wait to watch this ❤😊
Japan and it's people are amazing. This'll be a great series!
Fascinating! This old granniemaw loves your travel adventure series, Mav. I will never get to Japan so this is the next best thing. Thank you.
Man love watching your adventures! I wanna go to Japan and travel like that more than anywhere. Ready to see some fishing too
