The fact that you uploaded means you are still alive :D
I thought the same!
I had to remind myself this was not in real time!
We had dreadful weather leading into the holiday on the west coast of Vancouver Island - Canada - that dumped 1 1/2 feet of snow in under 24 hours. Once a rare occurrence. It shut down public transportation, ferries and flights. Also universities and colleges doing term end exams. Thank goodness we are back to west coast rain and typical +10C.
@@sburges12 This isn't uploaded on the go. Christmas has passed.
He is already in NY. Spent a Christmas with fam.
Louis, I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that I am profoundly grateful to know you are alive.
This is like walking down the street for him. Piece of cake.
haha aww got SO excited when Raya turned up!! The bump is looking FABULOUS! Nearly as fabulous as Cali in her boots! 😂 I won't lie, this video made me nervous, will he/ wont he make it?! It's basically a race against time.. and power 😂 Looking forward to seeing how you get on for the rest of the trip!
Callie really does add so much to these videos. Amazing to see how happy she always is! Great Video man!
Super pro-tip for cold weather, get an empty soda bottle fill it with hot water (not boiling!), water from a coffee maker is almost perfect. Then put it on the inside pocket of your jacket. It really helps keep your core warm and its when your core body temp falls that your feet and hands get really cold as the body tries to keep the warmer blood in your center. I call it a nickel heater
Really good idea!
Where I am at the moment in this west facing room in an old house its about 38.C inside without the A/C on. late arvo Sun beams against the window. Quite the opposite to over there, although a few weeks ago it was cold do to air being sucked up from Antarctica.
@@steviebboy69 That's quite toasty.
Don’t leave us hanging. Let’s see the end of of your adventure. 556 miles to go. 👍 Four days away at about 140 miles daily average. That could be two more episodes? I estimated you would do it in 18 days total providing no more major problems. The NY/Buffalo snowstorm is a big upcoming problem. Sending positive vibes.
Cali walking in her boots killed me 😂 i saw on insta you made it for Christmas, glad you are safe! But super interested to see how the rest of the journey went still
Wow, Louis looks like you're gonna make it. We watched Raya's surprise on her channel and Kara and Nate's
Wow Louis, you blow my mind with your knowledge of electronics!!! Great to see your meet up with Raya.
Take care in that snow!! Cheers, John, UK.
What a wholesome surprise from Raya
The Kombi and beetles were known for being extremely good in the snow with standard tyres due to the rear engine rear wheel drive
Whether it’s changed or not that you are electric I’m not sure but if it snows keep the back of the van well weighted and you should be fine even without grippy tyres or snow chains
12:21 absolutely sweetest moment on UA-cam! We’ve watch the video on your other channel, but it still makes our heart sing! ~Cara ❤️💕💖
We just admire your optimism and positive attitude no matter how stressful!!! We are stressing on this end for you! ~Cara ❤
Way to keep us hanging on the edge of our seats Louis! I admire your wherewithal.
Wow with what’s happening in the US with that storm! I hope you make it safe, looks like you missed the worst of it 🙏✌️💕
Loving this! Louis you’re so chill, love the British measurements too!
Stay in hotels with EV chargers and charge overnight and drive during the day so you don't freeze to death!
As a long-time driver of a 72’ VW Westy camper and a current EV owner, I’ve loved this series! Glad to hear you made it safely to New York, and looking forward to seeing how the rest of the trip went!
i was watching this channel for at least 7 years, and i got say it louis you are such a great content creater
Love your videos. Be safe. Don't risk your life. That storm is a killer.
Great progress, Louis!!
Living in a Caribbean island (Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹) I got SUPER EXCITED when it started to snow 😂😂 Then I realized how much problems that causes for you on your journey 🥹🫣 Lol.
Love this series soooo much! ❤️
Glad you made it. Looking forward to seeing you arrive safe to your family ✌️
Love your vw van I own one years ago when I used to work on old Volkswagen beetles enjoy your trip man
I’m glad you both are safe. So many tragic deaths in the Buffalo area.
Another great video, on the edge of my seat again. Can't wait until next one. Keep warm
Hope you make it ahead of the storm! Go Louis and the Volts Wagen!
Given how cold the US is at the moment, I’m relieved you’re still posting, so you must be ‘ok’
Glad your okay man that’s all that matters.. again thank you for the best content.
To run the same type of heater as you in our RV we have 8 batteries wired in series parallel at 24v. They can barely get us through a cold MN night. To say that the 12v battery is underpowered for the current you are trying to draw is a gigantic understatement. Great video series, I hope you got there safe.
Yay!!!! Finally caught up with the other vlog lol. Loving these updates! Keep on rocking it!!
Fabulous video as usual. An electric blanket and heated socks what luxury.😁🎅
Love your videos Louis! I am inspired to do something similar but make the VW Bus into a fully digital musical studio and use it for street performances. I like the 1971 camper, I used to have a white one when I lived in Humboldt County while I was in college.
Louie keep rocking on good luck brother hope the foot warmers work safe travels always Freddie 😄👍😎🦴💪
Man I was hoping you’d come through VA, you were gonna pass right through my town 😂 The snow also completely missed us here, look forward to seeing how your other route goes! Stay safe 🙏
Watching Cali in her boots was hilarious 🤣 but precious. Was a sweet little girl you have.❤
This adventure is so interesting. Would lovee to do it in my T3 but wouldn't be fit to do it in electric. Big inspiration for us Louis. We'll done Merry Christmas
Loving this vlog series!
Really loving this series you've inspired me to possibly travel more especially in my wheelchair it could be an experience
Oh the memories of freezing in a VW van🥰 seriously the best🙏 who ever had the biggest ice chard after a 4 hour drive WINS😂
Kept refreshing waiting for this to come. Finally!! Was getting worried
Beautiful how the Love with raya is growing, i am very happy for you!
Day 12, by yourself : top shelf !!!
CONGRATS MAN I LOVE THIS SERIES , LOVE TO SEE MORE!
Love the journey so far and your network of friends.
Amazing series!! I'm so happy of seeing your post!!
It means you made it ! 🤩🥂🎆
We love to see the rest of the series🤩🥳 and later during the year...
Definitely, it will be great to se the next convertion of the van!!🥳🚐🏔️❄️⛄ winter proof! 🌡️🌦️🤩🎆🥂 For more adventures 🤩😊🌻
So relieved to see this vlog!
Love this series! Checking UA-cam twice a day to see if there's an update on the journey!
Cheers. Merry Christmas.
"Elizabethtown" was actually a fun 00's movie with Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom
Really enjoying this series Louis, well done!
Louis, the Tesla chargers are polarity sensitive (unfortunately) so turn the plug 180 degrees and it should work. Probably the second plug you tried was wired just the other way around (neutral and live) and therefore worked... Good luck! Jan
Patiently waiting for the next upload
Kellie looks so sweet in her winter woolies
Here in Eastern Washington we have lots of roundabouts. Tri-Cities and Yakima especially.
Good travels mate! The fuse is 30amp, yet you need 500watt (@12v = 41amp). If the wires are thick enough, stick a 40amp fuse in there and you should be ok
I knoe this is older but the fact you drive near my area is freaking amazing in ny is amazing ❤
Dang man. That turn into Indiana toward an RV park that may have had a locked gate or no AC power on in the dead of winter was the one low battery (2%!) got me freaked with the -1 degree C. Awesome job Loius.
Loved watching the surprise!!!
the wind resistance of the flat faced bus increases with the square of the speed at 60 and above expect massive battery drain
They blast dynamite at 1 in the morning because they disturb less traffic and commerce that way. Every time you make it to another charger with 1 or less in the battery, I heave a sigh of relief. I'm not an advertisement for AAA, but think you may be. Blessings to all three of you.
You are back! Me and my 8 years old were missing you!
Hey I love looking at you vlogs I'm from trinidad and tobago it's like a thriller ever time your batteries reaches 11% keep up the great work safe journey
I live in WNY just south of Buffalo. Whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE I90 with an electric vehicle! Or at all without knowing the terrain. It got to -30F windchill here over Christmas weekend.
Louis you will make it ! Greetings from Milo from Netherlands (Europe)
So glad Indiana could help you! I'm not proud of our politics - but we do have some great places to visit!
"Louie ville" aaaahhhhh bless!
I was so waiting for you to pass thru Allentown Pa my city❤️ Merry Christmas 🎄
Really hope he's OK given the weather.
Im exited for the next Episode!
I would love to you insulate the van and upgrade the battery system to squeeze more range between charging. This van must stay relevant so your lil one could drive this piece of history. Merry Christmas and stay safe brother, Love you.
I wouldn't try to go thru Buffalo bc of the storm, but if you do, you're welcome to charge here in Rochester NY
I think you should have more heaters in the car because the windows will sweat a lot in the minuses. And especially if there is snow on the windows. Good luck
You never considered a AAA membership? Now, it looks even more required for rescues, tows, etc. I LIKED that middle road option and would never take the northern route unless it was summer. I'm SO pleased your friend introduced you to the concept of heated socks. They make other heated things as well.
RT. 80 through Pennsylvania is a nice road.
Cameron Crowe made a film called Elizabethtown starring Orlando Bloom & Kirsten Dunst. It takes place in Elizabethtown, KY, so it is not just some random town in Kentucky. Also, they blast the roads at night since most people travel during the day.
Awesome adventure!
I live for these Videos!! Sooo special!!♡♡ ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ love it
Love the videos!
Omg i havent seen your videos in years😅 glad to see you still make videos mate
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Let’s gooo waiting so long for the video
12volt heated car seat cover only works but only enough for 1nights heat my 240v electric blanket won't work from 230whr 2000mAh power bank by energizer.winter daylight hour seem to be getting shorter now for solar panels recharging so A honda petrol/diesel generator seem likes a safer back up
I was waiting for this vlog to come out before watching the surprise video on your other channel.
I just found your channel !! Subscribed and can’t wait to see more.
I hope you did not hit that storm. It was a crazy Blizzard. enjoying the videos.
elizabethtown ky is my hometown. how awesome is that!
I was just telling my friend I didn't know if you made it or not. I was showing them the video with the dog burrito. When your dog was all snuggled up in the blanket. In the beginning of this series. I want you to be a couple times you're going to be driving in some bad weather.
Good dog! Go dawgs! Godspeed!
I am here for watts/kilowatts/amps/miles/temperature and fuses. This episode came through pretty clutch! :)
Love your name.
Have you seen the movie spike island???
Jous wanna buy a dinghy ride. Lovely funny part of the film which hi lights the difference in regional dialects/accents...
I live in Oregon and when I was living in Bend they have round-abouts
Thank you for sharing
the raya showing up part was so wholesome
Oi, well done, you! Super vid! Love your Indiana Jones spirit of adventure. Cheers!
I figured you HAD to stop because of the polar vortex. I texted it was coming 3 videos back! 😂 It has not hit you yet here and it’s already retreating in real time so anxious to see what you did.
What happen mate? I wanna see your final destination. You missed the bombastic storm!
Great video!
At 1:43 you got some good taste of music I want the name of it!!!
Christmas was yesterday, hope you made it!
Stay safe enjoy the ride 🇦🇺👍❤️🤶🧑🎄❄️❄️
