Keep on Roamin' in the free world! Great episode! Way to be brave, rational, logical with regard to Cartels. There's no natural reason that overlanders and cartel people shouldn't get along. As someone who will be taking pretty similar route to that what you're currently taking, this video super helpful for me. I have taken the cartels to be in business not to necessarily be sadists or something like that though many seem to project that. Hopefully as time passes the cartels will be used to overlanders coming through and hopefully leave us alone! Seems to be the case. Great job guys!
Hey Charles, indeed, I’d hope that the overall view of them could be less nefarious and more as business owners. As marijuana cartels they’re part of a cartel demographic that may soon come out of the shadows if Mexico loosens up on regulations involving MJ. I think, as a general rule, meet any interaction with a smile, ask if it’s ok to pass/stay and be smart. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the film!
First of all…how cute is Meg?! I loved watching her watch you eat that sourdough cinnamon focaccia at around 43:45 in the rearview mirror. And she’s also a cow/dog whisperer? Seems like, “I love gravel!” Belongs on your next T-shirts! Actually, I bet the “kid” was on the lookout for sourdough cinnamon focaccia rolls. It’s a good thing you didn’t make them until you had passed! Ha! I’m glad your drone survived its encounter with that wire. The Copper Canyon is beautiful, but those roads look nuts. Good thing you got new brakes! Thanks for taking us along!
Honestly, she’s the cutest, it’s why I married her.😁 I’d fight the cartel if they messed with my foccacia cinnamon bun. I like the “I love gravel” idea, we’ll see if we can get Meg saying it more so it becomes a thing. Thanks for watching, friends!😁😁
It’s really cool to see Betty in new landscapes! Loving the adventure and very thankful for the way you guys film and share with us. Best show on UA-cam.
Dang, that’s a big compliment! Thanks Mark, we really appreciate the kind words. We’re stoked to be here and so thankful that we have the ability and opportunity to share our travels with others. Thanks for watching amigo!
YOU couldn't sleep traveling through the mountains. After that episode with watchers/falcons, I won't be able to sleep tonight, and I am in Courtenay on Vancouver Island! Fascinating journey through Copper Canyon, Stay safe, stay happy!
I was born in chihuahua but left when I was 5 with my family. Haven’t been back since so I appreciate seeing your journey across such a beautiful area. You two are awesome. 🙌🙏
@ If you are ever in the Big Bend region let us know. We have an off grid HipCamp named Nesting Star Camp that would be perfect for you. It would be great to have you by. We live in the Dallas area so you’d have it all to yourself.
@ yep, just give us a heads up, no charge for the stay to help out. The camp sits on 5 acres and we have another 20 acres further into the backcountry. It’s not as grand as Copper Canyon but you definitely have to mark that off the list! The hikes are epic and it’s a very peaceful area. Let me know and I’ll help you with an itinerary!
Another spectacular journey! Yes, I think you were wise to move on from that campsite…better safe than sorry! Really enjoying your adventures and meeting Sploot!
I've been following you guys for a while now but i gotta say - this is your best video yet! The element of danger was so exciting with the potential run ins with the cartel, the stunning videography and not to mention the cuteness overload with splooty the dog! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us since it allows me a glimpse into parts of the world i may never get to visit myself. Keep up the great work you two!
It’s our pleasure and honour to bring folks along with us on our travels. Thank you for watching and engaging with this film, we appreciate it a lot. See you next weekend.😊🇲🇽
Years ago I saw articles or ads for railroad train tours through Copper Canyon. Sorry to hear they have a drought. In Nevada this year there is no rain and no snow. I have never seen it like this.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this. As an ultra runner, all I ever hear of the Copper Canyons is about the Cabillo Blanco ultra marathon. To see a different perspective of the canyon is wonderful! I get your love for dogs im the same way lol. Just joined your Patreon. I love you guys!
It would be an epic run for sure, you’d have to test yourself again the famous Rarámuri. Glad you enjoyed it, it was a fun and beautiful excursion. Thanks for watching!
That was a great video! You guys are admirably brave after being in that questionable situation. It was an awesome route, for sure. Breathtaking scenery!
Hello from the Pyrenees mountains Spain. Thanks for the videos. That’s a part of Mexico I never got a chance to see when I was an exchange student in Mexico City. I wonder if Megan you will put out a cookbook of all the interesting meals you are having on this journey?? I hope so. God bless👍🤗🥰
Whew! All the way from Spain, amazing! Thank you for watching. A cookbook may come out one day, for now we’ll continue to incorporate more cooking into our videos. 😁
This one had it all - spectacular scenery, epic drone footage, stealthy cow, spotters 😳, cute pups, masterful driving and cinnamon bun focaccia. Thanks Alex and Meg for this hour of adventure!
Hey Robin! Glad you enjoyed the film. To be honest, it was the stealth cows that made it for me…maybe the cinnamon foccacia too.😂 Thanks for watching!😊🇲🇽🙌🏻
We always enjoy watching your videos. It's cool that BajaBound helps you out. They sponsor a trail race we put on here in Bahia Asuncion. I think as long as you present yourself in an honest and genuine way, the cartels will accept you and make sure nothing happens to you. At least that has been our experience so far. Cheers!
It’s been great working with Baja Bound, so easy and quick, they’ve got a good thing going. I think you’re right, hence the reason we didn’t really feel as though it was life or death in that situation. We’ve been told by many that there is an unspoken agreement between cartel and c government that tourist areas like Cooper Canyon are to be safe zones. Thanks for watching, we’ll see you in the next one!🙌🏻🇲🇽🇲🇽
Hi Alex, I'll bet that you're glad that you upgraded "Betty"'s brakes when you did and that you are carrying spare pads! considering the road that you and Megan choose, no wonder that you're having problems sleeping! YIKE!!!!! We are really enjoying your videos of your journey, but from our side of the TV screen. Regards, Bruce and Barb in Sorrento, B.C.
Ohhhh yeah, you got that right. I’m thinking I might just buy a third set seeing as how many steep roads we’ve been driving. Glad you’re enjoying the films, thanks for watching! It’s always wonderful having fellow Canadians chime in. 😁🇨🇦🇨🇦
Those roads are insane! The world is beyond huge, you are so right! And we are just speckles among its endless ripples… Great video again. Safe travels!
Even though your video would likely not be up if something bad had happened, I still felt so nervous watching the scary part involving the spotters. I'm so glad that you're both safe and that you followed your instincts to move, even a little. Thanks for your spirit of adventure and courage, otherwise we wouldn't get to see these remarkable seldom seen earthly beauties of Mexico. And kudos to Betty, she's a workhorse. Continued safe travels and adventuring! 😊❤
😊😊I’m glad the film has that sense of suspense and invokes that kind of reaction. Means I’m doing my job. It’s hard to say how much “danger” we were actually in, but nonetheless we can add it to our grab bag of experiences to pull from when the sh*t really does hit the fan. Thanks for watching!
Amazing mountainous adventure and footage. Those switchbacks tho are epic and you navigated them skillfully. Stay safe and stock up on carrots 🥕 for the next off road adventure.
It’s just Mexico doing all the work, we just capture it on a tiny box and put on your screen!😁 A most excellent idea, more carrots indeed. Thanks for watching!
@ West Coasters Rule 🤩 👊. We are enjoying your channel, your cooking / baking abilities on the road is so impressive, Focaccia cinnamon bread 🤤 for the WIN 🏅
Yet, the newest episode on this epic trip through both containents. Beautiful, cinematic video in the golden sunlight of Mexico's Copper Canyon. Order more "popcorn".
El Cañon del Cobre en La Sierra TARAHUMARA Los RARAMURI can run 465 miles in 2 days " toma tejuino y come pinole " good video thanks from Los Angeles California.
Wow, what a road! Stoked to see you guys had a good experience. We just got to mainland and had a few heart-racing cartel-related encounters right out of the gate on the Devil's Backbone (route 40) out of Mazatlan, though the road itself was breathtaking and nothing bad actually happened. It's interesting to learn first-hand what it's like here after reading so much online about Mexico. I can't wait to see what else you guys experience. P.S. Absolutely loved all the music in this episode!
Oh nice! I wanted to drive that road but of course, we’d have to double back quite a ways. Hope the drive was nice though. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the film!😊🇲🇽🇲🇽
It is like playing Russian roulette. I bet you two will survive the journey and will have many fun stories. I'm from Colombia, I know what the cartel, guerrilla, militia, mercenaries and corrupt cops do. I pray for your safety. People in South America are wonderful, just a few make the rest of us look bad. @@SlowRoamers
@henryortega8893 were very excited to travel Colombia. I think that the cartel problem there is worse than Mexico, but I am not well researched on that. You’re right, and it’s like that everywhere, a few people ruin the experience for so many others. Thanks for watching, keep an eye out for us in your country.😉
Beautiful....Thank you for letting us tag along. My wife and I are planning our first Van 4x4 road trip into Mexico. Ya'll have given me a little more encouragement than I had prior to seeing your journey. Is Betty a Diesel? I haven't gone back far enough to figure it out. If so...have you had any issues with fill-ups...especially when you are off the beaten path? What kinda milage are you getting? To be young and just going for it is a memory for my wife and I...I'm over 70 and this gives me pause on off the beaten path. Thanks for All ... Keep Em coming!!!
Glad you enjoyed the film and thank you for watching. The van has a 4.8L V8 LS. Finding fuel hasn’t been a problem thus far and I don’t expect it will be a problem until we’re much further down the Pan Am. Glad we could get encourage you on your next trip down south, enjoy!
WHAT an adventure.... gotta say that was very impressive ! Spectacular views . By the way...your married, you can re-propose anytime and anywhere you wish. Thanks for dragging us along!
😁😁Haha, thanks! Just another dirt road in Mexico really. You’re right, I can re-propose any time I’d like, seems weird though seeing as we got married a couple months ago. 😂😂 Thanks for watching!
Wow, that was an epic road. The drone footage sure put those switchbacks into perspective 😳. Smart idea moving from that lookout spot, a bit unsettling. Looking forward to the next video.
Good choice in not flying the drone in those areas. Just remember you can't unsee something. Be careful where you do fly the drone in Mexico. Great videos. 👍
Amazing video! The best way to describe cartel areas is like when the 1800's wagon trains wandered into "Indian territory". Usually they made it across, but if it didn't go well, the cavalry wouldn't go there to assist. Back in the 1800's there would be native scouts on all the viewpoints just as you found. Radios work much better than smoke signals :) Glad to see you two making memories.
@@SlowRoamers My best memories are from my travels. Loved Copper Canyon in the 1990's. Married a lady from Oaxaca, so still have family there and kids here. My kids will say they don't speak good Spanish but when relatives visit they can speak it super fast :) Enjoy the trip :)
Have you installed a switch on your dashboard that allows you to lock up your torque converter? I found this very useful in the RV especially for descending mountains, saves the brakes. Even for going uphill you can lock the torque converter and climb up slowly in the low gears (if your engine has enough power) and since the converter is locked it is not generating any heat. I found it very useful, I had a 3 way switch, NORMAL, OFF, LOCKED. Of course if you try to stop with the torque converter locked the engine will stall, oops. I also installed a similar switch for 1st and 2nd gear that allowed me to keep the transmission in the gear, no hunting up and down shifts as the steepness varied.
I’ve actually never heard of this, this is the first automatic transmission I’ve really spent any time driving, so I don’t know much about them. But to be honest, the van doesn’t have enough grunt to drag all the weight up these kinds of hills with a locked TC.
@SlowRoamers I didn't invent this, the previous owner of a well used Chevy Blazer had installed a switch on the dashboard to disconnect the torque converter lockout because he didn't like how the early ECUs would hunt for the correct settings. When my E4OD transmission in my RV failed to occasionally shift properly I installed toggle switches to control most shifting functions. I found it useful to be able to lock the torque converter for descending mountains. I also found it useful to stay in 1st (or 2nd) gear when climbing twisty mountain roads, the transmission would shift into a higher gear or even two higher while rounding the switchback and then the engine RPM would drop too far. Keeping everything in one gear was more efficient for me and locking the torque converter kept the transmission from overheating. It was a Class C MH so it was not going to race up any mountains anyway. Not suggesting that you do this, NO WRENCHING ON RACE DAY but you might want to do some research. I had to buy the book of circuit diagrams from Ford, everything should be available online now.
The van was in 1st the whole way up, I don’t bother letting it shift up because we’re going so slow. Any faster and the interior gets shaken around like a rock tumbler. We’ll sell the van in SA and our next vehicle won’t be an automatic…
@@SlowRoamers I agree, prefer manual transmissions and old-fashioned mechanically injected diesel engines myself. I have a 5 speed and related parts ready to install into that RV but I am over 75 so no longer likely to happen.
That is outside of my comfort zone, and I respect the adventure. The good news is you have a found peso to offer for payment to the Federales or Pablo Escabar and the boys if trouble arises. Safe travels, and not just a pleasantry for this leg of the trip.
Hahaha, a whopping 20p for the federales.😂 Luckily you have us as your virtual tour guides, we’ll do all the cartel evasion and bribing for you.😂 Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🇲🇽
HOLY CRAP!!!! That whole episode with the motorcycle guys (at about 40 minutes in) made me think of the old question: Are you trying to get killed? Because THAT is how you get killed! The instant I found the solar panel hooked up to the radio charger with the cooking fire and pile of empty food cans and the cigarette butts up on the overlook, I’d have been out of there in a heartbeat! You made the right decision in choosing a change of venue even though I’m sure you were still very much on their radar, so to speak.
En mexico Los carteles no quieren muertes en los Terrenos que controlan, parece que muchos por Aqui ven muchas series de carteles en Hollywood 😅😅 y piensan que les van hacer algo, esta mas peligroso estados unidos que mexico, en mexico la unica forma de que Los carteles te hagan algo es porque andas metido en negocios turbios, a Los turistas Los cuidan.
@@edelmendoza2475my brother and his friend rode those same roads in the Copper Canyon and based on their experience I agree with you, the lookouts are there to spot potential problems, tourists don't create problems for them.
Agreed, we talked to a lot of people about this that have visited the area including other cartel occupied areas in Mexico and they all said the same thing. That cartel interests are not in tourists, bothering tourists is bad business for them. The whole event made us a little uneasy, but we weren’t fearing for our lives at any time. De acuerdo, hablamos con mucha gente que ha visitado la zona, incluidas otras zonas ocupadas por cárteles en México, y todos dijeron lo mismo. Que los intereses de los cárteles no están en los turistas, que molestar a los turistas es un mal negocio para ellos. Todo el evento nos puso un poco nerviosos, pero en ningún momento temimos por nuestras vidas.
Wow! Copper Canyon is breathtaking. What a tragedy that those criminals are stilling the chance for people to fully enjoy these canyons. It really saddens me but I am glad you guys made it safely.
I wouldn’t say they’re steeling anything, just looking out for their business interests. Their presence there is perhaps discouraging people from going there, but no one is being stopped. It’s a beautiful place, far better to experience in person. 😊 Thanks for watching!
How many dogs will Alex and Meg host at camp on their adventure? Place your bets now. (Insert Count Dracula voice here)1Sploot! Ah! Ah! Ah! Bodacious bonanza breakfast bowl---say that 5 times fast. I triple dog dare you! Great mountain views and music combo.
Hahaha!😂 It’s getting more and more challenging to not keep one.😩😩 I have a hard enough time with the voiceovers, so I’ll let Meg try the tongue twisters. Thanks for watching Nancy!😁
I just finished watching the compilation video CANADA TO ARGENTINA from TOYOTA WORLD RUNNERS, apparently it is illegal to import drones into Nicaragua, I am going to miss your drone shots if that is still applicable. BTW, great videos to see there too.
Is your locker full time? Im headed to Baja soon and the truck I have came with a spartan locker. And I was a lil nervous about beach driving with a full time locker 🤷🏽♂️
I'm curious how you handle the steep descends with a 2wd van. Do you drop into your lowest gear? How frequently do you have to stop to allow the brakes to cool down?
1st gear all the way up and all the way down. Luckily we don’t have to stop too often because gearing down really does help. We also stop for photos and video so that helps as well.
@SlowRoamers that's the dilemma I found myself in, when we were in Idaho this summer. My van is still AWD so it does not have low range. Traversing some of those steep grades has got me considering the 4x4 swap, which is fairly easy compared to yours... but I just don't know if it's really necessary...
40:30 This part of the video really makes me very tense, And Yes I was saying MOVE!! Good thing is that you did move, Cause I've heard of people traveling through those areas being murderd out there, A guy by the name of Patrick Baxton An American hiker And a Spanish teacher was killed in 2018 while hiking the copper canyon.
Ughhhh🤦🏼 I know, I was stupid and installed a remanned pump from o’reillys. After multiple attempts to bleed the air out it’s only become marginally better. We’ll probably ship a new one to Mexico City and install there.
Is that al ALL-TOP compressor? Which model is it? How do you like it? Looks less expensive than an ARB, but also larger. I assume you keep in in the external storage box?
Yeah the “brand” is all-top but it’s really just a chinesium compressor with a different sticker. It’s been great thus far, super quick but really loud. It’s kept under the bed in the van.
Loved the videos of Copper Canyon. Be wary of north American travel rumurs and unconscious bias... ie the Cartel. Yes it exists. Yes be careful. But all of those beautiful people in the towns and on the ranches... they live in this, this is their life, they hate dealing with the cartel... and they are still heartfelt and wonderful people. Ask them questions about the road, about what it going on... they will tell you. When they are innocently curious, engage with them. They have so much to offer to your journey. Perhaps the ranchers and shepherds have also learned to use the solar radios... and perhaps the gringo reports are not completely accurate about the radios and cartels... who knows until you ask the people that live there. It can be a much bigger human story. You opened a ranchers gate to enter.... they may have been just watching over their land and cattle... I would if I were them... I watch our road in Colorado and wonder "who is that?" when some one I don't know comes up our road and to our lands. Thank you for recognizing that the well fed and obviously socialized sweet dog belonged to a family. I love the video. My humble suggestion is to learn to talk to and trust the people and the towns... and the kids in the towns love little candy give outs. And probably the people at the radio station would have melted for one of Meg's incredible cinnamon roles!! The people are genuine and will open their hearts to you. They will become part of your journey. Louisa
No doubt. We’ve had so many wonderful intersections with people in our travels thus far. During our drive to Batopilas and the situation where we found the spotter, I did wonder if it was simply a community watch. Some other things that happened off camera led us to believe that was not the case, which is why I didn’t mention my thoughts in the VO. The one thing we’re running into is the language barrier and I’m slowly developing a strange kind of shame for not speaking the language. I know that our time would be so much richer if we could speak Spanish and I desperately want to have conversations with people, but I can’t. That’ll change in time though. Thanks for watching Louisa, glad you enjoyed the film. Thanks for the thoughtful comment. 😊
@@SlowRoamers it will for sure change more and more as you immerse yourself in your incredible journey... Love following you and watching such beautiful videos! The language will come.... do not worry too much. And it is OK to make mistakes. The funniest one I made once was confusing pagar with pegar. Instead of asking the woman at the desk "should I pay you today or tomorrow" I accidentally asked her "should I hit you today or tomorrow". After a brief confused look she started laughing warmly and told me the difference ( in English) and we shared a laugh together. Then she thanked me for trying to speak Spanish and helped me with my baby Spanish the rest of our stay.
Glad you guys are ok, those people with radios are called "punteros" usually looking out for military or police or anything out of the normal glad they ignored you, stay safe and enjoy the food, the road and the views!!
Interesting! Thanks for the info. We kind of figured they were on the lookout for government instead of us. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the film!😊🇲🇽🇲🇽
We were assured that cartel don’t involve themselves in tourist situations. Nonetheless, we just try to travel smart, greet every interaction with a smile and generally have a small footprint in any area we go. Thanks for watching!
@@SlowRoamers Probably a good idea you don't watch the news then. Several tourists have been kidnapped and murdered, some just in the last couple of weeks. FWIW I love your videos and admire your goals but I think in this particular area you're being really foolish.
Fair and you’re entitled to that opinion. We’re firm believers in not letting fear keep us from visiting places. Bad things happen to good people, it’s reality. Thanks for watching!
Those cattle you are wanting to be friends with can be really quite dangerous! Feral wild cattle can revert back to their primitive instincts and see you as being the hunter gatherer predatory enemies of ages gone by. Always be sure to not needelessly expose yourself to them without an immediate escape route or climb to safety oppurtunity?
I beg to differ. When I was a volunteer in Big Bend NP decades ago, several hikers in that vast desert landscape bordering Old Mexico were chased, injured and killed by just such marked or identified suppoaedly domesticated cattle. It dosen't take generations of such cattle to revert to the wild........only weeks of "freedom". As is true of all of Natures creatures whether man breed or naturally evolved......including you and I! Please, don't take such assumed risks as we your fans want you around to continue producing your beautiful works for a long long time to come! Love you guys! Be safe out there! Ya hear?
Keep on Roamin' in the free world!

Even though your video would likely not be up if something bad had happened, I still felt so nervous watching the scary part involving the spotters. I'm so glad that you're both safe and that you followed your instincts to move, even a little. Thanks for your spirit of adventure and courage, otherwise we wouldn't get to see these remarkable seldom seen earthly beauties of Mexico. And kudos to Betty, she's a workhorse. Continued safe travels and adventuring! 😊❤
😊😊I’m glad the film has that sense of suspense and invokes that kind of reaction. Means I’m doing my job. It’s hard to say how much “danger” we were actually in, but nonetheless we can add it to our grab bag of experiences to pull from when the sh*t really does hit the fan. Thanks for watching!
Amazing mountainous adventure and footage. Those switchbacks tho are epic and you navigated them skillfully. Stay safe and stock up on carrots 🥕 for the next off road adventure.
It’s just Mexico doing all the work, we just capture it on a tiny box and put on your screen!😁 A most excellent idea, more carrots indeed. Thanks for watching!
@ West Coasters Rule 🤩 👊. We are enjoying your channel, your cooking / baking abilities on the road is so impressive, Focaccia cinnamon bread 🤤 for the WIN 🏅
Meg gets a BIG GOLD STAR for that cinnamon bun…ooof😮💨
Un video simplemente epico 🙌
😁😁😁Muchos gracias y gracias por ver! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Yet, the newest episode on this epic trip through both containents. Beautiful, cinematic video in the golden sunlight of Mexico's Copper Canyon.
Order more "popcorn".
😁😁What a splendid place, we’ll be back for more. Thanks for watching and don’t forget the snacks.😁🇲🇽
El Cañon del Cobre en La Sierra TARAHUMARA Los RARAMURI can run 465 miles in 2 days " toma tejuino y come pinole " good video thanks from Los Angeles California.
El Cañón del Cobre es muy hermoso, al igual que su gente. Saludamos a muchos Rarámuri mientras avanzábamos por las montañas.
Wow, what a road! Stoked to see you guys had a good experience. We just got to mainland and had a few heart-racing cartel-related encounters right out of the gate on the Devil's Backbone (route 40) out of Mazatlan, though the road itself was breathtaking and nothing bad actually happened. It's interesting to learn first-hand what it's like here after reading so much online about Mexico. I can't wait to see what else you guys experience.
P.S. Absolutely loved all the music in this episode!
Oh nice! I wanted to drive that road but of course, we’d have to double back quite a ways. Hope the drive was nice though. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the film!😊🇲🇽🇲🇽
Pure craziness passing through cartel country , wish you both safe journey! Love you videos!
lol, there’s been lots of ppl through here before and they lived to tell the tale. If they can, why not us, right? Thanks for watching!
@@backroadschooliedriver9136 si eres de estados unidos no tienes porque asustarte, tienen un infierno ahora mismo.
It is like playing Russian roulette.
I bet you two will survive the journey and will have many fun stories.
I'm from Colombia, I know what the cartel, guerrilla, militia, mercenaries and corrupt cops do.
I pray for your safety. People in South America are wonderful, just a few make the rest of us look bad.
@@SlowRoamers
@henryortega8893 were very excited to travel Colombia. I think that the cartel problem there is worse than Mexico, but I am not well researched on that. You’re right, and it’s like that everywhere, a few people ruin the experience for so many others. Thanks for watching, keep an eye out for us in your country.😉
@edelmendoza2475 😂😂
So happy to see a safe trip in the books. 👍👍
And boy oh boy, it was one for the books!😂 Thanks for watching!
Beautiful....Thank you for letting us tag along. My wife and I are planning our first Van 4x4 road trip into Mexico. Ya'll have given me a little more encouragement than I had prior to seeing your journey. Is Betty a Diesel? I haven't gone back far enough to figure it out. If so...have you had any issues with fill-ups...especially when you are off the beaten path? What kinda milage are you getting? To be young and just going for it is a memory for my wife and I...I'm over 70 and this gives me pause on off the beaten path. Thanks for All ... Keep Em coming!!!
Glad you enjoyed the film and thank you for watching. The van has a 4.8L V8 LS. Finding fuel hasn’t been a problem thus far and I don’t expect it will be a problem until we’re much further down the Pan Am. Glad we could get encourage you on your next trip down south, enjoy!
You guys are amazing 👏
😁😁Thanks Jose!🙌🏻
As always, amazing!!!!!❤ I was in Baja and took the road to Agua Verde. It’s always the roads less traveled that give you the best experiences. 😊
Thanks Tom! We know that road well, although it pales in comparison to the road to Batopilas.😂 Thanks for watching, happy travels!
@ I agree! Not sure if you guys are courageous or crazy?
We’re Canadian…🤷🏼♂️🇨🇦😂
WHAT an adventure.... gotta say that was very impressive ! Spectacular views .
By the way...your married, you can re-propose anytime and anywhere you wish.
Thanks for dragging us along!
😁😁Haha, thanks! Just another dirt road in Mexico really. You’re right, I can re-propose any time I’d like, seems weird though seeing as we got married a couple months ago. 😂😂 Thanks for watching!
Wow, that was an epic road. The drone footage sure put those switchbacks into perspective 😳. Smart idea moving from that lookout spot, a bit unsettling. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for watching Sally, glad you enjoyed the film!😊🙌🏻
Good choice in not flying the drone in those areas. Just remember you can't unsee something.
Be careful where you do fly the drone in Mexico.
Great videos. 👍
No doubt! Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.😁
saludos muchachos, impresionantes caminos y paisajes Dios los Bendiga en su camino Saludos desde la Baja. TJ.
¡Gracias por vernos! ¡Nos alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado nuestra película!
Amazing video! The best way to describe cartel areas is like when the 1800's wagon trains wandered into "Indian territory". Usually they made it across, but if it didn't go well, the cavalry wouldn't go there to assist. Back in the 1800's there would be native scouts on all the viewpoints just as you found. Radios work much better than smoke signals :) Glad to see you two making memories.
Thanks for watching Christopher, memories are the only thing we take with us when we pass, so it’s our hope that we make really good ones.😁😁
@@SlowRoamers My best memories are from my travels. Loved Copper Canyon in the 1990's. Married a lady from Oaxaca, so still have family there and kids here. My kids will say they don't speak good Spanish but when relatives visit they can speak it super fast :) Enjoy the trip :)
Amazing! We dream of the day we can speak semi fluent Spanish. You’ve given your kids a useful gift by teaching them a second language.
Wow copper canyon is breathtaking!!!!!! 😮😮😮 stay safe!! I want y’all to be around when I hit the road!
It really is a splendid place! Thanks for watching!😁
Beautiful video .
Thank You for sharing your video.
Thanks for watching!😊🙌🏻🇲🇽
7+ on the pucker factor. You kept Karla watching for the whole hour so that’s like 👍👍👍.
Yessss, we’re slowly roping her into the adventure.😁 Good times, glad you enjoyed it.
I enjoyed this episode. Spectacular scenery, a sense of danger, food. All elements of a good story. And look at those subs! 27.6k+! Keep on roamin'!
😁😁We aim to please, handing out the whole enchilada! Thanks, as always, for watching!🙌🏻🙌🏻
¡Bueno y gracias!
De nada!✌🏼🇲🇽
Have you installed a switch on your dashboard that allows you to lock up your torque converter?
I found this very useful in the RV especially for descending mountains, saves the brakes.
Even for going uphill you can lock the torque converter and climb up slowly in the low gears (if your engine has enough power) and since the converter is locked it is not generating any heat.
I found it very useful, I had a 3 way switch, NORMAL, OFF, LOCKED.
Of course if you try to stop with the torque converter locked the engine will stall, oops.
I also installed a similar switch for 1st and 2nd gear that allowed me to keep the transmission in the gear, no hunting up and down shifts as the steepness varied.
I’ve actually never heard of this, this is the first automatic transmission I’ve really spent any time driving, so I don’t know much about them. But to be honest, the van doesn’t have enough grunt to drag all the weight up these kinds of hills with a locked TC.
@SlowRoamers I didn't invent this, the previous owner of a well used Chevy Blazer had installed a switch on the dashboard to disconnect the torque converter lockout because he didn't like how the early ECUs would hunt for the correct settings.
When my E4OD transmission in my RV failed to occasionally shift properly I installed toggle switches to control most shifting functions.
I found it useful to be able to lock the torque converter for descending mountains.
I also found it useful to stay in 1st (or 2nd) gear when climbing twisty mountain roads, the transmission would shift into a higher gear or even two higher while rounding the switchback and then the engine RPM would drop too far.
Keeping everything in one gear was more efficient for me and locking the torque converter kept the transmission from overheating.
It was a Class C MH so it was not going to race up any mountains anyway.
Not suggesting that you do this, NO WRENCHING ON RACE DAY but you might want to do some research.
I had to buy the book of circuit diagrams from Ford, everything should be available online now.
The van was in 1st the whole way up, I don’t bother letting it shift up because we’re going so slow. Any faster and the interior gets shaken around like a rock tumbler. We’ll sell the van in SA and our next vehicle won’t be an automatic…
@@SlowRoamers I agree, prefer manual transmissions and old-fashioned mechanically injected diesel engines myself.
I have a 5 speed and related parts ready to install into that RV but I am over 75 so no longer likely to happen.
Same here, I’d love a mechanical diesel as well. Simple is best.
I loved your video
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!🙌🏻🙌🏻
That is outside of my comfort zone, and I respect the adventure. The good news is you have a found peso to offer for payment to the Federales or Pablo Escabar and the boys if trouble arises. Safe travels, and not just a pleasantry for this leg of the trip.
Hahaha, a whopping 20p for the federales.😂 Luckily you have us as your virtual tour guides, we’ll do all the cartel evasion and bribing for you.😂 Thanks for watching!🙌🏻🇲🇽
Great video! Nice save on the drone!
Hahaha, maaaan…I nearly sh*t a brick!😂😂😂
HOLY CRAP!!!!
That whole episode with the motorcycle guys (at about 40 minutes in) made me think of the old question: Are you trying to get killed? Because THAT is how you get killed!
The instant I found the solar panel hooked up to the radio charger with the cooking fire and pile of empty food cans and the cigarette butts up on the overlook, I’d have been out of there in a heartbeat!
You made the right decision in choosing a change of venue even though I’m sure you were still very much on their radar, so to speak.
En mexico Los carteles no quieren muertes en los Terrenos que controlan, parece que muchos por Aqui ven muchas series de carteles en Hollywood 😅😅 y piensan que les van hacer algo, esta mas peligroso estados unidos que mexico, en mexico la unica forma de que Los carteles te hagan algo es porque andas metido en negocios turbios, a Los turistas Los cuidan.
@@edelmendoza2475my brother and his friend rode those same roads in the Copper Canyon and based on their experience I agree with you, the lookouts are there to spot potential problems, tourists don't create problems for them.
Agreed, we talked to a lot of people about this that have visited the area including other cartel occupied areas in Mexico and they all said the same thing. That cartel interests are not in tourists, bothering tourists is bad business for them. The whole event made us a little uneasy, but we weren’t fearing for our lives at any time.
De acuerdo, hablamos con mucha gente que ha visitado la zona, incluidas otras zonas ocupadas por cárteles en México, y todos dijeron lo mismo. Que los intereses de los cárteles no están en los turistas, que molestar a los turistas es un mal negocio para ellos. Todo el evento nos puso un poco nerviosos, pero en ningún momento temimos por nuestras vidas.
And movie night again ❤
Let’s goooooo!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
29:30: Eso es muy empinado señor. 😅
SI!! Muy empinado de hecho! Gracias por ver!😁🇲🇽
Great video guys plz becafuel out there 🙏
Thanks for watching Christian!😁🙌🏻🇲🇽
Wow! Copper Canyon is breathtaking. What a tragedy that those criminals are stilling the chance for people to fully enjoy these canyons. It really saddens me but I am glad you guys made it safely.
I wouldn’t say they’re steeling anything, just looking out for their business interests. Their presence there is perhaps discouraging people from going there, but no one is being stopped. It’s a beautiful place, far better to experience in person. 😊 Thanks for watching!
@ totally. Thank you.
😊thanks for watching
@@SlowRoamers ❤️❤️❤️
✌🏼
How many dogs will Alex and Meg host at camp on their adventure? Place your bets now. (Insert Count Dracula voice here)1Sploot! Ah! Ah! Ah! Bodacious bonanza breakfast bowl---say that 5 times fast. I triple dog dare you! Great mountain views and music combo.
Hahaha!😂 It’s getting more and more challenging to not keep one.😩😩 I have a hard enough time with the voiceovers, so I’ll let Meg try the tongue twisters. Thanks for watching Nancy!😁
SPLOOOOT!!!! 🥹
Sploot is cute!!!😍
I just finished watching the compilation video CANADA TO ARGENTINA from TOYOTA WORLD RUNNERS, apparently it is illegal to import drones into Nicaragua, I am going to miss your drone shots if that is still applicable.
BTW, great videos to see there too.
Yep, we’re aware and it’s definitely still applicable. Matt & Stacey are good friends of ours.
That view @50:00 is tough to look at. The road following is a test of brake systems
Indeed, we were quite thankful for new brakes, we needed every bit of braking.
ty
Thanks for watching Roberta😊
Is your locker full time? Im headed to Baja soon and the truck I have came with a spartan locker. And I was a lil nervous about beach driving with a full time locker 🤷🏽♂️
Just an LSD. You’ll do fine.😊🙌🏻
From Santa Monica to Las Vegas 6 RARAMURI girls ran 52 hours non stop
😳😳So impressive! Thanks for watching 😊🇲🇽
I'm curious how you handle the steep descends with a 2wd van. Do you drop into your lowest gear? How frequently do you have to stop to allow the brakes to cool down?
1st gear all the way up and all the way down. Luckily we don’t have to stop too often because gearing down really does help. We also stop for photos and video so that helps as well.
@SlowRoamers that's the dilemma I found myself in, when we were in Idaho this summer. My van is still AWD so it does not have low range. Traversing some of those steep grades has got me considering the 4x4 swap, which is fairly easy compared to yours... but I just don't know if it's really necessary...
Having the low range would def be a game changer.
40:30 This part of the video really makes me very tense, And Yes I was saying MOVE!! Good thing is that you did move, Cause I've heard of people traveling through those areas being murderd out there, A guy by the name of Patrick Baxton An American hiker And a Spanish teacher was killed in 2018 while hiking the copper canyon.
😊 glad you enjoyed it and got a thrill from watching. We’re all safe and sound now. Thanks for watching!😊🙌🏻
Why is your power steering pump whining again?
Ughhhh🤦🏼 I know, I was stupid and installed a remanned pump from o’reillys. After multiple attempts to bleed the air out it’s only become marginally better. We’ll probably ship a new one to Mexico City and install there.
@@SlowRoamersmaybe that PS pump needs an oil cooler of its own? Oil must get pretty hot on those switchbacks at such slow speeds.
Maybe, but I’ve never heard of such a thing. I think it’s just a bad pump.🫤
Is that al ALL-TOP compressor? Which model is it? How do you like it? Looks less expensive than an ARB, but also larger. I assume you keep in in the external storage box?
Yeah the “brand” is all-top but it’s really just a chinesium compressor with a different sticker. It’s been great thus far, super quick but really loud. It’s kept under the bed in the van.
Check your power steering fluid, Power steering is whining.
I’m quite aware and it’s not fluid, it’s a bad pump.
❤❤❤
😊😊🙌🏻✌🏼
Loved the videos of Copper Canyon.
Be wary of north American travel rumurs and unconscious bias... ie the Cartel. Yes it exists. Yes be careful.
But all of those beautiful people in the towns and on the ranches... they live in this, this is their life, they hate dealing with the cartel... and they are still heartfelt and wonderful people. Ask them questions about the road, about what it going on... they will tell you. When they are innocently curious, engage with them. They have so much to offer to your journey.
Perhaps the ranchers and shepherds have also learned to use the solar radios... and perhaps the gringo reports are not completely accurate about the radios and cartels... who knows until you ask the people that live there. It can be a much bigger human story.
You opened a ranchers gate to enter.... they may have been just watching over their land and cattle... I would if I were them... I watch our road in Colorado and wonder "who is that?" when some one I don't know comes up our road and to our lands.
Thank you for recognizing that the well fed and obviously socialized sweet dog belonged to a family.
I love the video.
My humble suggestion is to learn to talk to and trust the people and the towns... and the kids in the towns love little candy give outs. And probably the people at the radio station would have melted for one of Meg's incredible cinnamon roles!!
The people are genuine and will open their hearts to you. They will become part of your journey.
Louisa
Hear hear, well said and so true! (Pa J, channel manager) 😊
No doubt. We’ve had so many wonderful intersections with people in our travels thus far. During our drive to Batopilas and the situation where we found the spotter, I did wonder if it was simply a community watch. Some other things that happened off camera led us to believe that was not the case, which is why I didn’t mention my thoughts in the VO. The one thing we’re running into is the language barrier and I’m slowly developing a strange kind of shame for not speaking the language. I know that our time would be so much richer if we could speak Spanish and I desperately want to have conversations with people, but I can’t. That’ll change in time though.
Thanks for watching Louisa, glad you enjoyed the film. Thanks for the thoughtful comment. 😊
@@SlowRoamers it will for sure change more and more as you immerse yourself in your incredible journey... Love following you and watching such beautiful videos! The language will come.... do not worry too much. And it is OK to make mistakes. The funniest one I made once was confusing pagar with pegar. Instead of asking the woman at the desk "should I pay you today or tomorrow" I accidentally asked her "should I hit you today or tomorrow". After a brief confused look she started laughing warmly and told me the difference ( in English) and we shared a laugh together. Then she thanked me for trying to speak Spanish and helped me with my baby Spanish the rest of our stay.
Wonderful, that’s such a heart warming story!😂😊❤️
hey where did you guys get the camping chairs ?
Good’ol Amazon😁
@@SlowRoamers any name or link? We're looking for something like that.
Tobtos or something like that…just search camp chair, they’ll show up.
@@SlowRoamers thanks
No problem, good luck!
Dang !!!
😂😂🙌🏻
Glad you guys are ok, those people with radios are called "punteros" usually looking out for military or police or anything out of the normal glad they ignored you, stay safe and enjoy the food, the road and the views!!
Interesting! Thanks for the info. We kind of figured they were on the lookout for government instead of us. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the film!😊🇲🇽🇲🇽
Stop every chance you get to cool off the brakes , if you over heat the brake fluid your done !
Yep! We made plenty of stops for cooking, up and down. 😊
🐶🥺
Cutest EVER!😂
Cartel areas are go at your own risk. Not for me. Stay alert and safe. I hope you have some sort of protection. You could have had a free solar panel😂
We were assured that cartel don’t involve themselves in tourist situations. Nonetheless, we just try to travel smart, greet every interaction with a smile and generally have a small footprint in any area we go. Thanks for watching!
@@SlowRoamers Probably a good idea you don't watch the news then. Several tourists have been kidnapped and murdered, some just in the last couple of weeks. FWIW I love your videos and admire your goals but I think in this particular area you're being really foolish.
Fair and you’re entitled to that opinion. We’re firm believers in not letting fear keep us from visiting places. Bad things happen to good people, it’s reality. Thanks for watching!
Yikes….Gringo plates, a drone, and cartel territory….what could possibly go wrong?! Admire your spirit, but for me….no bueno.
.
AND we’re driving a creamsicle coloured van, we’re basically a rolling target for people who love ice cream…
Those cattle you are wanting to be friends with can be really quite dangerous! Feral wild cattle can revert back to their primitive instincts and see you as being the hunter gatherer predatory enemies of ages gone by. Always be sure to not needelessly expose yourself to them without an immediate escape route or climb to safety oppurtunity?
They had tags and belonged to the many ranches in the area. No worries about feral cows. Thanks for watching!
I beg to differ. When I was a volunteer in Big Bend NP decades ago, several hikers in that vast desert landscape bordering Old Mexico were chased, injured and killed by just such marked or identified suppoaedly domesticated cattle. It dosen't take generations of such cattle to revert to the wild........only weeks of "freedom". As is true of all of Natures creatures whether man breed or naturally evolved......including you and I! Please, don't take such assumed risks as we your fans want you around to continue producing your beautiful works for a long long time to come! Love you guys! Be safe out there! Ya hear?
Ok ok, 😊😁 We’ll avoid the rabid cows, or at least have an exit strategy. Thanks Clifton.🙌🏻
Yowza!
