Nick, you have the coolest mom ever! It's so amazing to follow you amazing and inspiring trip. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your great content.
The landscapes are so beautiful. I wanted to smell the lupines so much! How wonderful Nick's mom and brother are overlanding with you! What fun that must be to go together! The drone shots were so good!
I can see where Nick gets his adventurous spirit. Those marble formations were striking. How cool that your mom and brother are joining you on your epic trip.
Howdy Albies! “Feet dry” again! Well that glacier fed waterfall at the beginning was epic! So glad that you can share your trip with family! Saddle up! 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱🥃
Hi friends. I have a nice day, I just received the Albatross stickers!!! One is for our Defender and one for my office applied to a piece of Defender roof .I hope for a meeting between our Defendi and Albatross.Enjoy this moment with your family. Super cool to see you all happy. Have a nice and safe trip!!!😃
What a wonderful video!! Beautiful scenery, great drone work, by the way. So fun to see Nick's family. Nick, your Mom is awesome! Your brother has now caught the adventure bug too. ❤
Love the lupines...The yellow lupine is probably an introduced species from much further north, that hitchhiked on muddy vehicle tires during or since the construction of the Carretera. The Scotch broom plague you encountered earlier, was also distributed in the same way, displacing the native vegetation and altering the balance in the landscape of native plants that the guanaco feed on. These 'trade-offs' happen unconsciously and leave muddy footprints on the environment for endless time to come.
super interesting! thank you for the explanations! it is surprising cause we did not see so many up north, maybe it was not the right season or as you say this other yellow one crazy spread killed them?
It's great when you share your adventure with us, but now you are sharing your adventure with family - in real time! That's tremendous! And, thanks for sharing that enhancement with us!
What a treat to be able to overland through Patagonia with your mother and brother, Nick, and, as the mother of an adult son myself, what a treat in particular for your mother to be able to do this with her sons! Absolutely gorgeous country (and loved the national park music.😊)
Aw. So great that Nick’s family could join you for the holidays! Phil and Alessandra seem like old friends to us now. Looking forward to having them pop up here and there. Such beautiful travels-marble caves, turquoise lake, mountainous scenes-places many of us could never imagine travelling. Thanks for taking us along. Great music, BYW, Mathilde!
Still one of my favourite UA-cam channels to follow! So amazing to see your mom, and your brother, fit in so seamlessly!!!! Kudos to your mom! And the colour of the lakes were breathtaking!
thank you so much. we still have a lot to work but it is not always easy to train while travelling while editing a new video every week. we hope to be able to get better technically in the next months so we can improve a bit more! but thank you so. much to write us about that it is really rewarding to read.
So glad to see that you decided to take Paso Roballos instead of the bigger border crossing in Chile Chico. I‘m sure you will love the remote adventure! Brings back great memories from our own trip in February 2023 🤩 I‘m really excited to see your next adventures!
Wow, you got perfect weather to see the amazing Patagonian landscape. It looked really quite warm. Over here, we are wearing the sort of outfits you were wearing in Antarctica. We are looking forward to seeing the Argentinian side of this adventure.
So awesome to see your family come to visit you . And back for even a better wilder over landing adventure . And wow I can’t wait to kayak there , I have seen photos but not any video of the lake’s spectacular caves . So that Was sooo awesome to see . Thanks again for sharing your wonderful adventures with us your over landing friends . Cheers to all of you . :) :) 😁👍🏼:) :) 👍🏼🍻😁🌎
Nice to see your mom and brother again. Drone shots of lake incredibly beautiful with its turquoise water. WOW. The two trucks crossing the bridge, loved it, loved it. Looks like mom and brother are enjoying their overlanding adventure.🚚 Hope they enjoy their stay in South America. 🤓❤North CA USA🕝HAPPY TRAILS
I can feel the excitement on Nick’s mom by looking at her face 😅, i will feel the same way if im on her shoes, so nice to spend the time together over landing with your brother and mother… And again Nick and Mathilde a very nice shot of the landscapes, wow i always felt that i want to go there too!!!.. Thanks for very good quality of video!!! Can’t wait for rhe next episodes and next adventures….
Awesome video as always Nick and Matilda. It's always fun times adventureing with family can't wait to see the epic adventures y'all are going to have next week.
I renember from my childhood years Lupines were cultivated on Large-scale farms in South Africa. Interesting to know now wgere it originates from. Great video.
Fantastic scenery, fun water crossings, great companionship, a couple of good rigs to drive. That was really great! The caves in the water were so cool. Have fun wherever you are now!
Wow, I would definitely do this trip. Beautiful scenery, and of course, you do an exceptional job showing it to us. So much fun having your mom and brother. Keep enjoying life ❤
That’s awesome your mom and brother came to see you and spend some time with you guys and done some traveling with you. Is that a spider on your phone screen? Did you check your air filter to see how your fix held up?
How old is your mom, if I may ask? She's super fit and has an inspiring adventurous spirit. Your brother is cool too - super chill like you two. Cheers
I love it! Maybe your Mom and brother can give some insight on renting a vehicle in Chile. I have been researching this subject and honestly...maybe looking to buy in Columbia or Brasil rather than rent. Chile is more difficult to buy.
the rental was hard to find and expensive... Chile has been generally quite pricey for the region. buying seems to be better! we met several travellers who bought in Chile and then travelled around with a chilean plate! seems not too complicated! but we don't know the details. we have no idea for brazil or Colombia. did not meet anyone who bought there. There seem to be a dealer in Santiago who buys and sell a lot of overland vehicle. we ve heard several time of this but we do not know the details.
I''ve been waiting for this part. So nice that Nick's brother and mother could join the journey. Can't wait for next week. I hope they will join you in Australia, Asia, and Aftica too. Did Nick have a second birthday party with his mother and brother?
Nick,your mom is soo cool,nice lady with the spirit of adventure!What a mom!wow!
Indeed! She s the best

It's most common on the California coast but has spread widely, carried on boat ballast.

The best part of the Southern Highway, from Puerto Montt to Chaitén were lost
Great that family can join for a stint :)
That’s awesome your mom and brother came to see you and spend some time with you guys and done some traveling with you. Is that a spider on your phone screen? Did you check your air filter to see how your fix held up?
hahhaha no the phone screen is broken ...
yes we checked the filter after a number of big river crossing it is impeccable!!!! problem solved
How old is your mom, if I may ask? She's super fit and has an inspiring adventurous spirit. Your brother is cool too - super chill like you two. Cheers
Hey! She is early 60ies and adventuring like a boss !!!
She's adorable

yes we hope to see them more in the other continents! we did celebrate again with them !
@@NextMeridianExpedition Great. Must have been a lot of fun.
Stunning country. I wonder why so much is private? Is it being used? What was the music at about 18:20?
We think it’s just to put boundaries between properties even though not used currently.
👊🏿💥
My 2WD rig may be too big for the Laguna Route so I plan to rent for that, if I can find a rental.
The Bolivia one may be alright … but it really depends on
I love this channel
Thank you!
👋🏻🤠🇫🇮
💪🎊🔥
🙏👍👌❤️
Thank you!
Wild lupines grow in North America and Central America and South America and Europe. They are not just in Chile.
indeed they are in many places what I meant maybe not very clearly is that this specific type is native from the region.
Pinche, Russian "Buchanka" in turn time 14:23....
Why going to argentina …stay in carretera austral it gets better
Very cool Trip and with family hevean better beautiful places, your mom and brother they are going very well (to bad it's a toyota 😜😜🫢😂😂)
Hahahaha we forgive them for a toyota no defender for rent hahaha
