      You guys are really becoming my favorite, of the travelers that I follow! It's so true to life and your entire family rocks with personality! You cover the things that I wonder about and the first that I've seen to carry a firearm and admit it. I would have bear spray too but when it comes to protecting my life, I wouldn't want to trust it . Thank you for the entertainment! You guys are great! 😎👌💖

    Can't tell you how much my husband and I love your UA-cam Chanel. This week, we bought your dish drainer, and I installed your magnet motion sensor lights in my pantry. Wow what a difference they make. We also installed the step covers. We had my brother in law over yesterday and your show was on. We were telling him how much we love watching your adventures, today he was out shopping for trailers. Passing on your spirit of "do it now, don't wait until you retire". Thanks guys for always keeping us entertained, informed and motivated. We are currently at Pismo Coast Village because of you. The sunset was beautiful tonight and we have you to thank for that. We are reminding ourselves each day, to live our dream today. Thank you KYD

    • @KeepYourDaydream
      @KeepYourDaydream  6 років тому +2

      That's great. Thanks for letting us know. Those step covers are essential! It was a real slip hazard before. Pismo Coast Village was so much fun. What a great time of year to be there.

    • @Josef_R
      @Josef_R 4 роки тому

      I bought those lights too and every time I move my trailer, they fall and half the time they don't work anyway because there's not enough tension on the battery door to keep contact.

    Wow! What a beautiful video! You nailed the perfect music to go along with the drone shot coming down on the boat as it waded through the ice…..it was magical! We had to watch it over and over. And great shot and audio of the boat sloshing the ice around! We so appreciate the time and effort you all put in to produce such beautiful work, not only the visual, but also the details and information you supply. We soak up everything as we work to make our dream happen.
    Thank you for the continued inspiration!

      "CTRL+F dielec" yup. I second this suggestion. Should have for everything on a truck like this. I use it on every fuse/relay I can to stop corrosion and garbage.

    We were in Valdez - too early for Salmon fishing, but Tinkerbell fishing co. had huge jars of frozen Salmon caviar - we bought cream cheese, great crackers and feasted for several days. We did not camp on this trip, though we usually always do on our travels. If you hit a moose on Alaskan roads (happens a lot) You let authorities know and they alert the nearest local tribe, and the meat is used by the indigenous people. When we drove from Anchorage to Valdez, we drove for 2 miles behind a moose strolling down the middle of the highway! He was completely unconcerned. We had so many amazing experiences, but now I want to go back and do more! Thank you for sharing your possibilities.

    Immediately when you had problems with your trailer brakes disconnecting my brain went to the problem we recently solved. Our brakes would only disconnect when it was raining. After lots of investigating we discovered the brake wires that run through the axels was old and the insulation was cracking and braking. We had to pull the wires and rewire the trailer brakes. This summer on our 30 day trip was the first trip in 3 years where we didn't have brake problems or a tire blow out. We were so happy.

    So many great shots and ideas for our trip next year. I was so close to hitting the road full time when I was blessed with the care of three beautiful grand daughters. They met with unfortunate circumstances and keeping them together was, of course, my first priority. I truly thought my "daydream" was over at that point until I found so many full time families on the road. What a beautiful way to educate the next generation. So we are in the process of customizing our bus. And planning the "unplanned trip" of a lifetime..LOL. Just love you guys. And not all our borders have hours...lol...most bigger crossings are open round the clock. Hope you filled up on fuel while you were here as our dollar sure makes it worth it for our American friends. Thank you for such beautiful footage and great info and trivia. Cant wait to say I've done it too. Happy travels to you all … because of course "It's A Wander-FULL Life" indeed!

    • @KeepYourDaydream
      @KeepYourDaydream  6 років тому

      That's great to hear. You'll create memories for a lifetime. Tonight's video starts right at the border. Regarding cost, Canadian fuel is about $5.43 gal and US is $3.20 on average. Groceries are our biggest expense and CA is about 10% more after our exchange. Overall, it's a bit more expensive to us to travel to CA, but it's been worth it every time.

    Borders can be very frustrating... When our boys were little asthma was an occasional ugly problem. It had appeared to be under control for almost a year so we planed a stay in Rocky Point. On our next to last day there the oldest was experiencing some problems with his asthma, nothing but an un staffed clinic in town and no EMS. So we packed up in the middle of the night and made a dash for the "Border". Of course it was closed so we had to sweat out 2 hours waiting, after we got there for it to open... If it wasn't for being a Medic and having everything I needed to treat him it could have been really bad. Murphy is a has a sick sens of humor and he is waiting around every corner. Wish we'd have had our RV back then! Great show , fantastic footage. OLT

I am so impressed with your videos, I don't know how you do it - you're gifted, Marc (and hardworking) - a great storyteller. All of it, I just can't say it enough, you're really good at this! Amazing that you were able to get that drone footage while on a moving boat!?! Thanks for the entertaining videos and for sharing your family and adventures with us. Love it!

    Oh no! You missed one of the most beautiful drives up there! When I left from Haines Junction to Haines I figured a few hours. It was so beautiful, it took me the better part of a day to do it. I’m also sorry that you didn’t know that some smaller border crossings close during the night. It’s the same case going into the lower 48 as well. Also, your footage on the cruise was amazing!!!

  • @garettcastle2335
    @garettcastle2335 6 років тому

    When my family left Alaska to be reassigned in Fort Jackson, SC we took that same route. From Tok to Haines in the winter time. Not recommended. White-outs and communications dead zones. And yeah, the closed border. Caught us off guard too. Haines was such a beautiful town.

    A great solution to the 7 pin connector issue, is dielectric grease. After making sure our 7 pin connector is clean and coated, zero issues. We lost the electronics to our tongue jack last summer in Alaska/Canada due to all the rain and road spray. Those vulnerable contacts now have dielectric grease on them.

    Wow, this video was amazing! Loved the boat ride through the ice. I was in awe the whole time of the ice and the wild life. Couldn't believe how close the boat got to the "cave". Was amazed about the gun and the border, that was pretty easy. Then about died when the border was closed and y'all had to spend the night there. It's going to be a long week waiting to see how that went! lol Great video! Hugs, Brenda
