    From a Mercedes Benz reviewer, this is an incredible masterpiece. You really can’t go wrong with a G wagon, at all. High tech with all the bells and whistles. Ultimate off-road and camping 🏕 SUV.

    What a vehicle! I love my rice but it took me awhile to learn not to burn the bottom, the method best for me is, I wash the rice real well drain, Warm the pot put a tablespoon of oil in, fry the rice till it dances than put the water or broth in, stir bring to a boil, cover turn off heat fifteen or so minutes when the rest of the meal is cooked so is the rice. I hope this helps sweet girl continue to be safe n lots of fun on your journey.

    Apart from the beautiful landscape and an incredibly capable vehicle, the narration was excellent. This style of involved story telling is often missing in professional content but thanks to alternative platforms, independent story tellers, who would not be part of organized companies are being discovered and appreciated by people world over.

    Hi there, I have been following your episodes on Iceland. Nice videos and fun to see your perspective on my country. I do overlanding as well in one of those big modified 4x4's. I am sure you saw at least one of those on your travels here.
    I want to correct one thing in your video. You can wildcamp in Iceland, but there are caveats. You cannot sleep in a motorised vehicle or in something that is pulled by a motorised vehicle. So it must be a tent/bivy or sleep directly under the stars. It must be on untilled land and not fenced in. There must be no visible sign from a landowner prohibiting camping. You must be a reasonable distance away from an organised campsite or human dwelling. You are only allowed to camp for one night at a time in that spot. No more than three tents are allowed in one group. If you are in a vehicle then it must be legally parked somewhere. You cant drive the car into a wildcamp site as that would be illegal offroad driving, so obviously these caveats are meant for hikers and cyclists, but if you can manage to park your car legally somewhere and bring a tent, then it is doable. Wildcamping is prohibited in South Iceland, but anywhere else it is allowed as long as you follow these rules. If you ever return to Iceland, then I recommend either coming in march and try to go for a "superjeep" on a glacier, or visit during july and august and aim for the far less trodden areas, like the North East and Westfjords.

We've taken it across the Simpson Desert in Australia and many other remote places. Just love it. The Trayon is a slide on camper which we can actually take off the back as a stand alone unit and use the vehicle separately. I'm not sure if you mentioned it in the video, but what does the camper on the back of yours weigh?

    Very nice vid, people, and an awesome vehicle. I actually like Alcohol stoves used in boats in the ADV Van rather than being so electric battery dependent with complex systems. Then there is the ventilation. Cooking and range hood vent capture should be an integral design unit, in my opinion. NOT fill the living space with smells, smoke, steam. Asthma induced by smoke in a remote area is not good, cooking stains on interior of a $100k + vehicle . . . just not cool. But, that is me being picky. Oh, always need bicycle rack someplace too . . . off back maybe. So terrific overall.
