    Sat watching this in the UK as a two day storm sweeps the country. 60 to 90 mph winds and driving rain has us all stuck indoors until Monday. All the rivers are blown out and lakes are flooding their banks. No fishing, no mountain biking, but...did get out for a bit of shooting. Love your videos and their true-to-life story, though what a story. Looking forward to the next one folk.🙏🏻

    Awesome video you guys!! Thank you for sharing the adventures. Rig issues are more of a when than an if thing. New or old lol! Personally I like older stuff that we can fix ourselves and source parts for. Sometimes a shop is the only option, but most of our issues we've been able to handle. Ours is an 06 f350 flatbed setup. Party on you two!! 🤙🏻😁

    • @PhelpsontheFly

    Awesome vid! I found your channel by way of Ujoint Off-road Colorado. I’ve been debating whether or not to have Justin and the crew do my van or if I should do it myself. I’m leaning towards doing it myself and taking my time and going over everything, maybe even full body off. Mine is a 2014 with 120k miles and your vid is helping me think that it might be worth it to invest that time upfront and replace stuff while it’s in my garage instead of on the road. Especially because we’ll have two preteens with us as we travel around North America. Keep up the great attitude and the great content

    • @RietschOutdoors
      @RietschOutdoors 5 днів тому +1

      I did my second van DIY, really not that bad of a job. Sounds like you have the space to do it and that honestly is the biggest hurdle. I did mine on a level driveway on jackstands. Then had a buddy do the welding portion and I did everything else solo. If you have questions let me know, happy to help! Also, Justin and Chris are pretty responsive if you have questions while doing the install.

    • @feed_defend_evolve
      @feed_defend_evolve 5 днів тому

      @ thanks for the feedback! I have a large garage and am fairly mechanically inclined, but previously mostly with wood and more basic work on cars. Only recently started working with metal and welding is next on my list. I’d like to do my own bumpers and stuff just to try to save money. Before you know it the UJoint conversion and add-ons can run 70k. Not to take anything away from those guys because they seem like they’re worth it in today’s marketplace, but If I can do it myself and save $25-30k… make it a family project with my boys and do other maintenance/repairs along the way… sounds like the way to go. I’d rather spend that money on family adventures with the completed van!

      @RietschOutdoors 5 днів тому +1

      @PhelpsontheFly  3 дні тому

      From my experience, I’ll say the guys at Ujoint are seasoned pros and will do a fantastic job on your rig. Either way you can’t go wrong. Sounds like a fun family adventure, good luck with the van build!

      Luke is the man. The espresso maker is pretty good. Takes some time and tinkering to make but the result is delicious. For those reasons we reserve it for special occasions. On the go I prefer the aeropress

    While I am happy you had great fishing, as a local to those Alberta mountain streams I am wildly disappointed that someone is giving out pins to the brown/rainbow stream you fished at the end. That is holy water that is typically kept very hush hush. Please keep that one close to the chest Will.

    • @PhelpsontheFly
      @PhelpsontheFly  4 дні тому +1

      @PhelpsontheFly  3 дні тому

      Ah, yes, I see what you mean now. You’re referring to the person in the video who told me about the stream. I will certainly be keeping this one close to the chest. Now that I’ve fished there I understand why.
