  • Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and finally Oregon. 2,367 miles for me to cross to reach my new home. An insane cross country move in a 1999 Toyota Avalon, and one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had. Come along on this road trip with me, my brother, and my cat as we cross from the Detroit Metro area all the way to the Willamette Valley, and discover how beautiful the United States can be.

    Take as much time as you need for the next video, we know masterpieces like this take a lot. Nice job taking such a massive step forward!

    Hey thanks for watching my video! I know a lot of you were hoping for more Manga content but this is something I really wanted to make. I promise I've got more Manga videos on the way! In the meantime, why don't you check out this video I made talking about video game music I like if you haven't already! ua-cam.com/video/j5SsMOIP5mw/v-deo.html

    It's crazy seeing how similar your reactions were to my own when I had to do this. Realizing nobody outside of the trucking industry really interacts with most of the spaces you're driving through for huge stretches of the journey is a bizarre sensation.
    Something that kind of tripped me out going west out of Iowa was you'd have these enormous industrial plants way off in the distance, seemingly not connected to the highways, that obviously had shit happening in them, but there didn't seem to be any kind of travel infrastructure to support something like that. It was just these near-dirt roads leading in and out. It wasn't clear in any way from looking at them what they did; there were no discernable logos, nothing intended to get your attention. It was pure industrial function in terms of design. All primary color metal pipes and harsh lighting.
    I'd find out later these are supported largely by railway. A friend's dad worked in one and he spent an evening telling us about it, and how few people even know about them and how remote they really are. "Short of being at sea, you can't really be more physically isolated from the usual infrastructure."
    I dunno something about driving through these spaces as a traveller is weirdly compelling. I've done it a few times in my life now and I've enjoyed it immensely every time, so it was cool to see your journey as well and know it's not just me who found a weird, really difficult to describe beauty in how empty so much of it is, and how it makes those little glimpses of some kind of civilization almost startling to come across when you're so remote from everything.
    Thanks for sharing this man, this was cool to watch.

      Yeah I remember seeing those to! You're right it's so strange to think people can even work out there when there's nowhere to even live for miles. Thanks for sharing your take I'm glad you liked the video

    Hey man! I'm glad to hear the move went so smooth! I know it's a year later that I'm only just now watching this, but I hope that the area has only been even better to you as you've explored it. I haven't traveled around nearly as much as I'd like to yet, but it's always been a tall order for any new place I visit to compare to my love of this area, even after living here for 20 years to potentially get bored of it.
    Beside that, I'm glad you took the time and care to make a video on the trip itself! I wouldn't have thought it a concept I'd get invested in normally, but between yours and BrutalMoose's moving video, this very specific niche feels so cozy and ends up inspiring my own wanderlust. I'm not entirely in the right place to have a road trip like I've wanted yet, so thanks for scratching the itch in the meantime!

    • @CaptainMack

    idk if it's been mentioned yet but regarding your cow picture on 41:50, it looks like a good chunk of the paint just got chipped off. It can be repaired! go to an art store and see if you can find any leads on people who do restoration commissions.

    I'm glad you were able to pass through Utah! Although the northern part is a bit different than the southern, Utah is so pretty and full of beautiful sights. Also Taco Time slaps, sad that you didn't like it. Arctic Circle "created" fry sauce, which isn't too known to the east, but im surprised you liked it because it usually isn't good hahah.

    Currently on day 2 and yeah, you came to realise how big and uninhabited your country actually is as well. I'd had that realisation a few times when visiting. I'm finding myself watching this in chapters, and your take on this compares a lot to mine, even if I didn't move cross country like you have.
    Edit: Haaaaa. We gave you soooooo much shit for that nightstand on stream 😂
