I'm one of those weirdos that pays not to see the ads on UA-cam. Here's what I owe you for all the time I've spent enjoying watching your shenanigans:-)
I think you are both briliant, never understood why people don't stick to 'nothing nice to say, say nothing!' I look forward to my pre shopping or work brew with you guys. Keep making the videos and keep being yourselves x
You two are like a breath of fresh air been following you for a while now ,real genuine people are hard to find on you tube nowadays keep up the good work and looking forward to your next adventure
Please please please BREED ! Because the world NEEDS excellent people like you two Ime 60 and would love off spring like you two Keep looking at life the way you are ❤😊
You two are so natural and you compliment each other wonderfully. Your skill sets are just the ticket for this channel. Thank you for keeping us in craic!
the ex-Sainsbury's supermarket delivery van build and subsequent adventure was awesome. As a 72 year old South African, ex adventure motorcyclist and still a DIY'er who is currently immobile as a result of lost argument with a large angle grinder I have had little else to do for a week now other than surf UA-cam channels, having stumbled on True Blue Travellers has made my immobility bearable, simply the best of in this genre, the pair of you are very professional entertainers keep up good work. Hopefully a South African adventure is on your agenda for the future.❤
What a lovely thing to say thanks so much mate. That’s such a kind compliment. Sending lots of love for a speedy recovery 💙💙 South Africa is 100% on the bucket list
Van build vlogs are always popular and seems to get viewers to your channel. Then people see what a great couple and channel you are/have. Keep it up 👏👏👏👍
Jess and Jon, I started watching you guys through the Sansbury build and then I’ve gone back and watched a ton of your older videos and now my wife is watching because we’re planning to go to Ireland and Scotland in September. We love your videos love your personalities and even those tool shots. Yes, I love those tools lol, hope you guys are well. Looking forward to your next adventures.
You’re actually the only channel I turn my adblocker off for! One of the things I like most about you guys is the lack of click bait and lack of semi porn in the thumbnails. Although I was a bit worried when John kept getting his botty out!
Watching your latest video and we both agreed…one of the things that distinguishes Jess and Jon…your production quality and really your presence on You Tube and On Camera presence is very high! You guys knock it out of the park!!
I don't normally watch Q&A type videos (they're not usually my cup of tea), but with you guys I still really enjoy these ones! Love the videos and always look forward to the new videos coming out. Thanks!
I would like to say a huge thank you. I am chronically ill and disabled. I'm not able to go on holiday so I love seeing all the wonderful places you visit. Plus you make me laugh.
Likewise. Luckily I did a lot of traveling before I got sick. Managed to get to most of the states in the US and provinces in Canada. (Worked in the US too.) So I also love being able to still get a flavour of that travel experience via you both. Particularly looking forward to ‘revisiting’ some of North America with y’all. Keep being your lovely selves and as another wise soul has commented trolls are more to be pitied really. Plus, well, karma really can kick your ass if you treat others badly. Take care and thanks again for your hard work, it makes sitting through the ads worthwhile 😊💙
Leanne and I subscribed to your channel when it was only in the double digits.We watch you both grow and mature into 2 wonderful caring young adults. Now look at you both hope you get that 100K subscribers .We really appreciate your honesty and insight into your own personal and finances endeavours. As for those that seek attention on their negative comments, send this side, and we will let them swim with the salties. From Callum Leanne and Indy... Down Under
Thanks so much guys, we so appreciate your support and it’s been lovely to see you guys getting out and adventuring in your van too 💙 please give beautiful Indie a cuddle from me 😘
It may be a Yorkshire saying "Nowt As Queer As Folk" (Nothing to do with ones orientation) You two are doing a great job, love your channel. It wont be too long before you will be able to use A.I. to filter out the evil comments without you or any one else seeing them, and plus a bonus it would show their name and address if required.
Hi there both , I've only just come across your channel by accident and I'm really enjoying it PLEASE take no notice of the haters . Your content and the way you connect with each other is amazing 🤟🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love your videos. Great content, well explained, interesting subject matter ( think tools!). Funny couple, great interaction. Hang on to that woman John, she's a keeper! 🇨🇦
Your just brilliant. I came to you because off the Defender built. I took a lot of hints and ideas from both of you. So stay as you are. All the best from Germany
Who says you're bad? I love the videos you guys make and I love the amazing relationship between you and them, and it makes me all day!!! Don't add bad thoughts and enjoy life and show us these joys so that we can feel it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What an absobloodylutely brilliant video. Normally I would switch off on this type of vid but your presentation and professionalism was perfect. A great mix of info, humour and honesty. You have the ' knack ' don't change your standards and you will expand your fantasy I am sure Congrats 😀👍
I follow a lot of van life channels as I aspire to get into the life myself once the kids have done one! I found myself drawn in to your channel during the Sainsburys build. It was awesome, and as a 40 year old man I was laughing along with you guys regular, and I learned absolutely loads too. Thanks for the content and please keep it up. You guys deserve more then you have. You're excellent presenters and entertainers. The Sainsburys van especially should have been a show on TV.
I have a slight excess of tools! I ran a classic car repair / restoration garage and had a home workshop for my vintage / veteran motorcycles, plus tool boxes in my recovery truck, then I retired... I now only have my home workshop for hobbies, two proper lathes, surface grinder, 60ton press, sheet metal rollers, 3 foot guillotine, 4 foot folder, Mig X2, Tig, stick welder, oxy welding, car lift, parts washer, plasma cutter, kiln, forge plus anvil etc, nearly forgot, Milling machine, polisher, sand blasting room, paint room, valve facer, and more spanners / sockets than a socket shop, but I still look down the middle isle weekly, well you have to!
Your never going to find a hater doing better then you. Keep it going - I can only hope to see a larger van build perhaps? Sprinter perhaps or crafter with a pop top? 💪🏻💪🏻😓
That was brill! I watched your first van tour and thought ‘Hmm these two have some clever ideas then never watched another till the defender and the promise of the Sainsbury’s van. Now I know better and will just watch whatever you put out! I travelled USA, coast to coast and back before the internet was even invented. Can’t wait to see you two doing it! ❤
Thanks Denise, I always wonder weather it would be better or worse to of traveled before the internet, in some ways it would be great as everything you see is all new and unexpected as you don’t know what’s coming, but then you might miss things as you don’t know they are there, 💙
You guys are amazing. Please keep doing what you're doing. I've watched almost nothing else for the past few weeks. You're so entertaining while being really informative.
Wow that was so informative. Can’t believe all the equipment and work that goes into your videos. Great you are both so open and honest. Ignore nasty comments, they must be very bored and jealous. I have only watched your Sainsbury’s van episodes so I’m looking forward to going back to watching from beginning. You both brighten my week and looking forward to all you future adventures ❤
Johnny... I'll be your friend. Thanks for such an honest video. We have a very old channel that has never taken off, so we use it as a resource of what we want to share and what we film for clients. Love your work. Jess, come visit Melbourne next time you're here. Johnny can take me to shopping
Greetings from the USA, keep doing things just the way you are. I built a box van and enjoy seeing how you have used your box truck. I enjoy your bantering with each other. 👍👍👍👍
What an honest and informative vlog. You guys are living your best life. Never let the negative ruin what you guys have. Honesty and truthful you have been through out. I’m loving them, you have me hooked keep up the good work you compliment each other so well. A bit of Ying and Yang going on ❤
You guys are one of the very few UA-camrs who I can sit and watch a video all the way through without getting bored. Well done and thank you for sharing your honest opinions. Oh and well done Jon for letting Jess think she is the boss 😉😁👍🏻
I adore that you read our comments and reply! Thank you. Love watching and being part of the adventures and builds. And thanks for making me laugh. Best of all you are honest and natural. Keep being who you are ❤🎉😂
Just remember guys that the people who make random , rude comments are usually the people that have no ambition, no friends and sit behind a computer to make themselves feel better. It’s a sad world but your videos really make us laugh and your videos are always really genuine. Keep bringing out the videos and hard work and ignore the rude people! ❤😊 xx
We only recently discovered you and have been absolutely binging on your videos! We have been contemplating UA-cam for a while for one of our road trips but just haven't got round to it. We're building a van soon too!
Hope the next build is a Fuso. I learnt a ton from the Sainsbury's build. Jess looking radiant after being at home for a bit. And Jon, exactly the bloody same. Love your videos
😂😂😂 oh why thank you 😘 amazing what a decent shower and a roast dinner can do 😂😂 would absolutely love to do a Canter, they are just like bloody hens teeth here and getting parts for them is a nightmare too 💙
You too have rapidly become favourites to watch, since the defender build. Jon’s sense of humour is on par with mine, so suck it up Jess we all know Jon’s the boss 😂😂😂
So I've binged watched the Sainsbury's van build as well as the 2 Q&A's And s couple of other videos today. You definitely both made me laugh multiple times today. A great watch 😁 You've also re-ignited my mojo with UA-cam, I gave it a go and had to shelve it when other circumstances changed. Anyway, I'm off to edit some of my photos and videos and get something posted asap... So Not only great content and a new sub from me, but also a Massive THANK YOU. I will definitely catch the rest of your catalogue.
Absolutely brilliant! I just landed upon your channel for the first time only two days ago and I’ve already plowed thru a couple dozen videos. I’m really enjoying your individual personalities as well as the chemistry you have with each other. I definitely think that True Blue Travelers is going to be very successful, but if you would allow me to offer a bit of unsolicited advice that might help you get to that 100K subscriber goal sooner rather than later - I would say to do as many collaborations as possible with a few of the really well known channels in your particular genre! I’ve been a UA-cam junkie for at least the last 10 years and have seen that particular formula work for others on a number of occasions. Definitely couldn’t hurt to try! Keep up the great work!!
WOW. Fantastic video guys and thanks so much for doing this. I watched the Arctic adventure series and got lots of nice tips as we're thinking of buying an older van and living in her in Scotland. Bonkers I know but to see that you guys did what you did on 230Ah of power and zero solar was inspiring. Thanks so much.
Again a great informative video. The Sainsbury van will do you proud for sure. Informative video for all those who want to follow you guys on U Tube. keep up the good work guys.
I love your content and love watching two people who obviously care for each other. As an engineer of over 45yrs I love the builds. Please keep going the way you are.
Never understand the negative comments/messages. If you don't like it there's always the off button! I think I found your channel cos of the Land Rover link, but stayed for the Sainsburys van. Good content keeps us watching. Cheers
Love the honesty this video. I watched many UA-cam Channels before finding yours. I really enjoy the content ideas and the humour. The main thing that stands out is the natural chemistry between you both. A breath of fresh air in this world of fake “best lives” online. Keep being yourselves and don’t give any notice to negative comments. Probably bots! Don’t worry about sponsors or colabs if they’re interesting and are appropriate to your builds and videos. If you ever need a Scotland fixer give me a shout. Frazer. 51. Caravaner. Motorcyclist. Retired cop (including mounted officer) . Jealous of the tool collection and workshop. 😂
Hi Just watched the good the bad and the ugly. Keep them coming. I’m now retired, I have a Defender 110 and was looking for a way to modify it following a trip to New Zealand, that’s when I found you two. When I feel a bit lost or low, I watch one of your videos, cheers me up. Thanks 😊
I Absolutely Love you guys if you are ever in Vancouver Canada you are welcome to visit my family And thank you for sharing your adventures and builds You guys always put a smile on my Face 😂🥰🥰
Easily my favourite channel on You Tube, great fun and well made videos. Looking forward to following you on your next adventures, keep up the good work brightening up our Saturday mornings. You two are truly inspirational and just genuinely nice people. Thank you.
Loved it! So excited to see your future travels, Jon defiantly needs to release a mug collection!! Well done you guys, look forward to seeing the next post 👍
I have been streaming content from UA-cam for 15 years now using a box connected to my TV, never watch terrestrial TV. To me the best content ever. Get an advert and a click forward and the ad is gone. Did try the premium for a while, but the extra cost was not worth it. Watch lots of UK travellers over these years, some worth a follow, some fell by the wayside. But along comes Jon & Jess with something different. A new approach which was wanting me seeing more. A refreshing change on what I had seen before. Fun and laughter, brilliant videography and content to really enjoy. Waiting for the next vlog was just icing on the cake. Long may you make these for us to enjoy.
Two lovely honest people. So good to hear you talk about money and the other things that most people will not do. You are both a breath of fresh air on utube, keep the videos coming and above all keep enjoying it. We'll done.
Really enjoyed your sainsbury's van conversion. Very envious of your tools😊 don't let the trolls get you down. You do the right thing by deleting them. Keep up the great work you are a great couple. The van conversion was brilliant 👏 looking forward to catching up on your other content ❤
I still happy for the day UA-cam decided I needed to watch a Landrover build, when you were at about 14K Subscribers, have binged watched all the videos, right back to the start since, so looking forward to the rest of the year, most defiantly looking forward to a what we learnt and are going to change video before you set off for Africa (just see the click bait now, "we ripped our new build apart") You really should think about Merch, start small with tshirts and mugs, reach out to some esty people like you did about sponsorship.. or others on youtube who have people doing a merch store.. but best of all I think I speak for everyone, keep up the banter, thats what we love...
"nobody has done one" is THE EXACT reason why the Sainsbury van conversion is so popular!! It's because it's something nobody's ever seen done, let alone how successful you guys did it!! Looking forward to more conversions 🥰🥰 I'm not that much into travel vlogs (but your artic vlogs were still plenty of van-content AND is paced fast enough not to feel sluggish) so I hope you guys will do more vans. You can always sell them afterwards to recoup a good chunk of the costs on top of UA-cam income 🥰🥰
Thanks very much yep that’s exactly the plan, have fun building and using them and then hopefully make a bit selling them, should be on with a new build when we get home from this trip 😊👍
You two are just brilliant - so funny! My favourite channel. Fabulous rapport and truly excellent film making and videos. Love how you keep it real! How are you getting the Sainsbury’s van to America? 👀❤️
Yes guys! So pleased it’s starting to pay off for you. I work behind the camera and really impressed with your skills and drone shots, especially on your recent trip - incredible! Looking forward to more 👏🏼
Ignore the negative feedback and the trolls. We love what you’re doing. Nobody on YT comes close to the way you make your content. Keep it up. Amanda and Terry
As 99% of the comments suggest, your down to earth approach and honesty, not to mention the humour is the best thing. Don’t stop planning and enjoying life.🙂
Thanks for the information that you share everything in UA-cam. But I can't wait to see that defender to roll out in action again. John, make sure that it is in good condition hahaha 😂 Take care always guys and stay safe ❤️
Great video as usual. Thank you for the Q&A and the tips. The breakdown of how to get going on You Tube. (thats one breakdown Jon didn't mind dealing with. Can't wait for the next videos. Everytime I see a Sainsbury van, I look at it,to see how much work you put into yours.
Excited to see you guys travel North America. UA-cam channels "Truck House Life" and "Living the Van Life" may help you prepare for that journey as the conditions may be different from your artic trip. Enjoy watching you guys!
"Truck House Life" that guy has encountered so many issues with the weather and his truck up there with the extreme cold. I want you guys to have a great experience. Can't wait to see you guys up there.
In his episode "Stranded in -42 F/-41C in my old Ford Truck on a Track Camping" he could not start his truck no matter what he tried. This is the episode I though you guys might find the most interesting ... I but I know you guys are also very experienced with extreme weather too.
Thanks very much, we will check him out. I wouldn’t call us experienced but we do try to be well researched and prepared so any info is gratefully received 💙
A massive thank you for all the tips entertainment info/history , look forward to your Saturday video , well done both of you, cant wait for more adventures , 🎉
I binge watched the Sainsbury’s van build and your artic trip, fantastic and Jon’s naked snow dive made me laugh so much. Will be watching you older stuff defo 👍
Ive stumbled across your chanel and latest conversion videos. I never really comment on vids tbh but feel i have to. You guys are absolutely brilliant! Vids full of honesty and great content. Honestly guys, thank you
Here is a warm n happy comment🤗 you guy's are fun to watch, genuine and produce great content. I am glad to have found your channel and have binge watching from the oldest to the newest. Anytime you enter a public medium like YT or FB etc the jealous haters will be there. Just know that there are those of us that support your vision and dreams.😉 keep smashing it!
I'm one of those weirdos that pays not to see the ads on UA-cam. Here's what I owe you for all the time I've spent enjoying watching your shenanigans:-)
What a Boss-Move! ❤ 👍🏻
Nice one, looking forward to them doing the next one, Jess is ace and jon is funny as fook m8
Glad I'm not the only weirdo that pays for premium haha
Me too, I cant stand the adds on YT. But I did buy things from TBT Amazon store for my Sainsbuys van that I finaly drove home this week.😃👍
Thank you very much for all the wonderful work and sharing in your adventures. Please keep it up. Paul
Never let the trolls affect you. The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.
So true Jon 💙
I love this
💯👍
@@truebluetravellers Can't agree more.
We will be restarting our vanlife adventures soon and to see you guys do what you do is a real inspiration.
I think you are both briliant, never understood why people don't stick to 'nothing nice to say, say nothing!' I look forward to my pre shopping or work brew with you guys. Keep making the videos and keep being yourselves x
Thanks very much mate, much appreciated 👍👍
You should release a tea mug that looks filthy like a car mechanic's mug with tool Tuesday on it.
Oh hell yes, mucky oily finger marks and palm print - spot on!
😂😂😂 we will have to do something one day for sure, Jons all up for this idea 💙
I'd buy one!
I'll take one !
I would defo buy one! Do the merch!11 😀👌👌
You two are like a breath of fresh air been following you for a while now ,real genuine people are hard to find on you tube nowadays keep up the good work and looking forward to your next adventure
That’s so kind of you to say and such a nice compliment thank you
@@truebluetravellers just stumbled across ye today, and couldn't agree more
@@higginsba thanks 😊
Please please please BREED ! Because the world NEEDS excellent people like you two Ime 60 and would love off spring like you two
Keep looking at life the way you are ❤😊
😂😂 what a lovely compliment thank you so much 💙
Imagine... A little John with a credit card and carte blanche on tool buying ! That'd be hilarious.
Or a little Jess... Now what would her vice be?
You two are so natural and you compliment each other wonderfully. Your skill sets are just the ticket for this channel. Thank you for keeping us in craic!
Thanks very much 🥰
The fact that you go out of your way to answer all the comments is awesome, i really appreciate it and im sure everyone else does too 💙
I really do appreciate it. David Gilmour
Thanks mate, it’s the least we could do to say thanks for watching 👍👍 we appreciate u commenting every week 👍👍
Thanks David 💙
True. I hate channels that don't bother to respond to comments or questions.

The cabin was one of my favourite bits... All of your content makes me smile...

So cool hey mark 👍👍
I have a slight excess of tools! I ran a classic car repair / restoration garage and had a home workshop for my vintage / veteran motorcycles, plus tool boxes in my recovery truck, then I retired... I now only have my home workshop for hobbies, two proper lathes, surface grinder, 60ton press, sheet metal rollers, 3 foot guillotine, 4 foot folder, Mig X2, Tig, stick welder, oxy welding, car lift, parts washer, plasma cutter, kiln, forge plus anvil etc, nearly forgot, Milling machine, polisher, sand blasting room, paint room, valve facer, and more spanners / sockets than a socket shop, but I still look down the middle isle weekly, well you have to!
Now that sounds like a proper workshop 👌👌
Your never going to find a hater doing better then you. Keep it going - I can only hope to see a larger van build perhaps? Sprinter perhaps or crafter with a pop top? 💪🏻💪🏻😓

Just come across you two. Lovely couple, great behind the scenes video. 👌

The banter is the reason I kept watching, but I staid cause they make good content.
What an honest and informative vlog. You guys are living your best life. Never let the negative ruin what you guys have. Honesty and truthful you have been through out. I’m loving them, you have me hooked keep up the good work you compliment each other so well. A bit of Ying and Yang going on ❤
Thanks very much that’s lovely of you to say 💙
You two have the best chemistry between the two of you, that`s what makes your videos so much better!
Thanks very much 😊
You guys are one of the very few UA-camrs who I can sit and watch a video all the way through without getting bored.
Well done and thank you for sharing your honest opinions.
Oh and well done Jon for letting Jess think she is the boss 😉😁👍🏻
That’s a lovely compliment thank you 💙 😂😂😂 I don’t think I’m the boss I know it 😂💪😘
I adore that you read our comments and reply! Thank you. Love watching and being part of the adventures and builds. And thanks for making me laugh. Best of all you are honest and natural. Keep being who you are ❤🎉😂
Thanks for leaving a comment for us Fiona, it helps the Chanel and it’s also lovely to get to know the people who watch 😁💙
Just remember guys that the people who make random , rude comments are usually the people that have no ambition, no friends and sit behind a computer to make themselves feel better. It’s a sad world but your videos really make us laugh and your videos are always really genuine. Keep bringing out the videos and hard work and ignore the rude people! ❤😊 xx
Thanks guys that’s much appreciated 💙💙
We only recently discovered you and have been absolutely binging on your videos! We have been contemplating UA-cam for a while for one of our road trips but just haven't got round to it. We're building a van soon too!
Thanks guys, I bet u can’t wait to get on with the build 👍
Hope the next build is a Fuso. I learnt a ton from the Sainsbury's build. Jess looking radiant after being at home for a bit. And Jon, exactly the bloody same. Love your videos
😂😂😂 oh why thank you 😘 amazing what a decent shower and a roast dinner can do 😂😂 would absolutely love to do a Canter, they are just like bloody hens teeth here and getting parts for them is a nightmare too 💙
You too have rapidly become favourites to watch, since the defender build. Jon’s sense of humour is on par with mine, so suck it up Jess we all know Jon’s the boss 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 he wishes 💪💪
You two are brilliant, the content is so easy to watch Fun and informative. Long may you continue. Best Wishes.
Thanks mate 👍👍👍
So I've binged watched the Sainsbury's van build as well as the 2 Q&A's And s couple of other videos today.
You definitely both made me laugh multiple times today.
A great watch 😁
You've also re-ignited my mojo with UA-cam, I gave it a go and had to shelve it when other circumstances changed.
Anyway, I'm off to edit some of my photos and videos and get something posted asap...
So Not only great content and a new sub from me, but also a Massive THANK YOU.
I will definitely catch the rest of your catalogue.
Thanks very much mate and glad to hear you have your mojo back, hopefully back to smashing it on UA-cam in no time 👌👍
Dont let the ugly get you. I simply watch all your videos, wouldn’t want to miss any of them! Too much fun 🥳🤩
Thanks 🥰
Absolutely brilliant! I just landed upon your channel for the first time only two days ago and I’ve already plowed thru a couple dozen videos. I’m really enjoying your individual personalities as well as the chemistry you have with each other. I definitely think that True Blue Travelers is going to be very successful, but if you would allow me to offer a bit of unsolicited advice that might help you get to that 100K subscriber goal sooner rather than later - I would say to do as many collaborations as possible with a few of the really well known channels in your particular genre! I’ve been a UA-cam junkie for at least the last 10 years and have seen that particular formula work for others on a number of occasions. Definitely couldn’t hurt to try!
Keep up the great work!!
Thanks very much for the tip, it’s definitely something we will do if it comes up as I think it would be really fun with the right Chanel 😁👍
WOW. Fantastic video guys and thanks so much for doing this.
I watched the Arctic adventure series and got lots of nice tips as we're thinking of buying an older van and living in her in Scotland. Bonkers I know but to see that you guys did what you did on 230Ah of power and zero solar was inspiring.
Thanks so much.
Thanks very much mate, that sounds epic, Scotland is incredible too, one of our favourite places 👍
Please Please take no notice of the haters you guys are absolutely amazing my Mrs and I love your channel. we've watched all of your videos
Thanks very much guys it means allot 💙
You guys are great.. amazing energy, content and frankly you’re welcome to dinner at ours any time
Thanks very much that’s so lovely of you 💙
Again a great informative video. The Sainsbury van will do you proud for sure. Informative video for all those who want to follow you guys on U Tube. keep up the good work guys.
Thanks very much 😁👍👍
I love your content and love watching two people who obviously care for each other.
As an engineer of over 45yrs I love the builds. Please keep going the way you are.
Thanks very much mate that’s much appreciated 💙
Well done you guys. I love travel shows and you're up there with the best pro tv. Thanks for making me smile.
Thanks mate that’s lovely of you to say 🥰
We love your videos, part of our Saturday ritual! Keep being yourselves and entertaining us 😊
Thanks guys 😁👍
You two are GREAT, honest and upfront. I really enjoy your brilliant videos and may they last!!
Thanks mate 😁👍
Never understand the negative comments/messages. If you don't like it there's always the off button! I think I found your channel cos of the Land Rover link, but stayed for the Sainsburys van. Good content keeps us watching. Cheers
Yep that’s it, it’s more effort to comment than it is to just switch to something else 😂😂🤷♂️
Negative comments are just from miserable people looking for attention I think.
My husband and I love watching you guys. You're hilarious and you always have so much fun. Keep up the good work!
Thanks guys 💙
Love the honesty this video.
I watched many UA-cam Channels before finding yours.
I really enjoy the content ideas and the humour. The main thing that stands out is the natural chemistry between you both. A breath of fresh air in this world of fake “best lives” online.
Keep being yourselves and don’t give any notice to negative comments. Probably bots! Don’t worry about sponsors or colabs if they’re interesting and are appropriate to your builds and videos.
If you ever need a Scotland fixer give me a shout.

😂😂😂 thanks very much mate that’s much appreciated 👍👍👍
Hi Just watched the good the bad and the ugly. Keep them coming. I’m now retired, I have a Defender 110 and was looking for a way to modify it following a trip to New Zealand, that’s when I found you two. When I feel a bit lost or low, I watch one of your videos, cheers me up. Thanks 😊
Thanks very much mate I’m glad you enjoy them 💙, hopefully you will be out in the defender soon 👍
It was deffo the comedy sketch when testing the van springs, it was hilarious 😂😂😂
😂😂😂🤦♀️ oh dear lord I’d forgot about that one 😂😂
I Absolutely Love you guys if you are ever in Vancouver Canada you are welcome to visit my family
And thank you for sharing your adventures and builds
You guys always put a smile on my Face 😂🥰🥰
Thanks very much that’s such a lovely offer 🥰😁💙💙
Easily my favourite channel on You Tube, great fun and well made videos. Looking forward to following you on your next adventures, keep up the good work brightening up our Saturday mornings. You two are truly inspirational and just genuinely nice people. Thank you.
Thanks very much that’s so lovely of you to say 🥰💙
Loved it! So excited to see your future travels, Jon defiantly needs to release a mug collection!!
Well done you guys, look forward to seeing the next post 👍
😂😂😂 a prison mug shot collection with that boy 🤦♀️😂 thanks mate 😁👍
I have been streaming content from UA-cam for 15 years now using a box connected to my TV, never watch terrestrial TV. To me the best content ever. Get an advert and a click forward and the ad is gone. Did try the premium for a while, but the extra cost was not worth it. Watch lots of UK travellers over these years, some worth a follow, some fell by the wayside. But along comes Jon & Jess with something different. A new approach which was wanting me seeing more. A refreshing change on what I had seen before. Fun and laughter, brilliant videography and content to really enjoy. Waiting for the next vlog was just icing on the cake. Long may you make these for us to enjoy.
Thanks very much for all the feedback it’s great to hear and lovely to read too 👍👍👍👍
I think you should do a section on "Tool of the week" Jon could then star every week. 🙂 !!
😂😂😂 absolutely
Two lovely honest people. So good to hear you talk about money and the other things that most people will not do. You are both a breath of fresh air on utube, keep the videos coming and above all keep enjoying it. We'll done.
Thanks very much Steve 👍
Just for a bit of insight, I found your channel through an Instagram reel of the Sainsburys van build that my daughter shared with me. 😎
Oh really, that’s good to know, thanks 😁👍
Really enjoyed your sainsbury's van conversion. Very envious of your tools😊 don't let the trolls get you down. You do the right thing by deleting them. Keep up the great work you are a great couple. The van conversion was brilliant 👏 looking forward to catching up on your other content ❤
Thanks very much Danny that’s lovely of you to say 😊💙
I still happy for the day UA-cam decided I needed to watch a Landrover build, when you were at about 14K Subscribers, have binged watched all the videos, right back to the start since, so looking forward to the rest of the year, most defiantly looking forward to a what we learnt and are going to change video before you set off for Africa (just see the click bait now, "we ripped our new build apart")
You really should think about Merch, start small with tshirts and mugs, reach out to some esty people like you did about sponsorship.. or others on youtube who have people doing a merch store.. but best of all I think I speak for everyone, keep up the banter, thats what we love...
😂😂😂 I was thinking the tittle could be we stripped everything back to the bone, and a cheeky little shot of course 👙😎😂 thanks mate much appreciated 👍👍
Don`t let the turkeys bring you down,love your journy`s builds,personalitys and great old fasion fun,with modern peeps.
Thanks mate 👍
"nobody has done one" is THE EXACT reason why the Sainsbury van conversion is so popular!! It's because it's something nobody's ever seen done, let alone how successful you guys did it!! Looking forward to more conversions 🥰🥰 I'm not that much into travel vlogs (but your artic vlogs were still plenty of van-content AND is paced fast enough not to feel sluggish) so I hope you guys will do more vans. You can always sell them afterwards to recoup a good chunk of the costs on top of UA-cam income 🥰🥰
Thanks very much yep that’s exactly the plan, have fun building and using them and then hopefully make a bit selling them, should be on with a new build when we get home from this trip 😊👍
You two are just brilliant - so funny! My favourite channel. Fabulous rapport and truly excellent film making and videos. Love how you keep it real! How are you getting the Sainsbury’s van to America? 👀❤️
Thanks very much, we are shipping it into halfifax in Canada, it will go by what they call roro (roll on roll off) 😁👍
Yes guys! So pleased it’s starting to pay off for you. I work behind the camera and really impressed with your skills and drone shots, especially on your recent trip - incredible! Looking forward to more 👏🏼
Thanks so much!! That’s a really lovely compliment 💙
Ignore the negative feedback and the trolls. We love what you’re doing. Nobody on YT comes close to the way you make your content. Keep it up. Amanda and Terry
Thanks guys, means a lot 🥰💙
As 99% of the comments suggest, your down to earth approach and honesty, not to mention the humour is the best thing.
Don’t stop planning and enjoying life.🙂
That’s so lovely of you to say thanks very much mate 💙
Keep doing what you’re doing, I’m a 59 year old codger & I love your content. Jon stop giving the lovely Jessica a hard time! 😅
😂😂 thanks so much mate. Don’t tell her but she is a good old girl!
Thanks for the information that you share everything in UA-cam.
But I can't wait to see that defender to roll out in action again.
John, make sure that it is in good condition hahaha 😂
Take care always guys and stay safe ❤️
😂😂😂 hopefully no mechanicals/electrical this 👍
Great video as usual. Thank you for the Q&A and the tips. The breakdown of how to get going on You Tube. (thats one breakdown Jon didn't mind dealing with. Can't wait for the next videos. Everytime I see a Sainsbury van, I look at it,to see how much work you put into yours.
😂😂 better than me or the van 😂 thanks very much, it’s much appreciated 💙
Sorry, breakdown of the video & how the content is uploaded. @@truebluetravellers
You two are by far the best UA-camrs. Love your honesty as well❤
Thanks 😁💙
Excited to see you guys travel North America. UA-cam channels "Truck House Life" and "Living the Van Life" may help you prepare for that journey as the conditions may be different from your artic trip. Enjoy watching you guys!
Thanks yeah we have watch Ltvl but not heard of truck house life so will check them out, thanks for the tip 👍
"Truck House Life" that guy has encountered so many issues with the weather and his truck up there with the extreme cold. I want you guys to have a great experience. Can't wait to see you guys up there.
In his episode "Stranded in -42 F/-41C in my old Ford Truck on a Track Camping" he could not start his truck no matter what he tried. This is the episode I though you guys might find the most interesting ... I but I know you guys are also very experienced with extreme weather too.
Thanks very much, we will check him out. I wouldn’t call us experienced but we do try to be well researched and prepared so any info is gratefully received 💙
A massive thank you for all the tips entertainment info/history , look forward to your Saturday video , well done both of you, cant wait for more adventures , 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it, really appreciate it thank you 💙
I binge watched the Sainsbury’s van build and your artic trip, fantastic and Jon’s naked snow dive made me laugh so much. Will be watching you older stuff defo 👍

You’re living the dream and I can be a part of it, how awesome is that👍🏼. Keep on going and I hope you can do this for a long time.
