What a meal. Genius! But nothing better than Pete’s obvious gratitude to the Lord prior to eating. - Love it!!! The message is getting through as I hoped and prayed it would
Wonderful to see one of the boys take off his hat and give thanks for his meal. God Bless
@@jcoats5529 Please be respectful.
Indeed mate, great family
@@jcoats5529 don’t understand your comment at all.
@@jcoats5529 why even comment 🤨
It's a PBY Catalina. It was a flying boat and my late father-in-law flew in them during WW2 while serving in an Air/Sea Rescue Unit. Thanks for sharing the adventure!
You guys have a awesome mom. She cooks great meals and takes good care of everyone 👍
Loved the blessing before eating. Very cool to see that plane wreckage after 75 yrs! Thanks for the experience!
I am so grateful for finding your channel. My daughter lives in BC and I have never been. I'm living on a small pension so she always travels to me. My daughter always raves about the beauty and takes photos for me but nothing beats traveling through it with the family. I live in Northern Ontario and Ontario is no slouch when it comes to lovely places but it's different. You seem to be very decent people that I would be proud to know. Thank you.
We often overlook the freedom we have.... thanks for mentioning it.
You’re welcome.
Thank you for finally recognizing the importance of freedom in our daily lives. The biggest draw we have when overlanding is the sense of freedom we obtain when finding that isolated location where the only laws are wilderness survival. We love your videos
Agreed. Like Ben Franklin said “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
@@EFRT And as Thomas Jefferson said "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery". We love you guys - there is a great little rec site near Port Alice called Marble River I think.
I read Thor Heyerdahl's book, Kon Tiki, while a junior in high school and that had to be 1963 or 1964. It was so good and intriguing I read it in a weekend. On Monday, I turned in a book report and got an A on it. Wow, I am getting old. My wife is a prolific reader and she's always recommending books to me. She'll read four or five books to my one in a week's time. I love to document my adventures and write reviews on gear I've purchased. I write in those Composition books I pick up at Walmart. I like to take notes as I watch You Tube videos like yours and hopefully one day I'll be able to travel to those recommended areas. While serving in the military 23 years, I spent 16 of them overseas, mostly in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. My favorite country is Switzerland. Backpacking and skiing in the Alps was phenomenal. My wife and I would love to return to Maui, my home, but this current situation is preventing our accomplishing it. Your adventures have really helped us "survive" the stress of this awful year, between the pandemic and the political atmosphere. We're living vicariously through your adventures. So, thank you and your family for that. Happy Holidays and be safe.
That’s wonderful, I hope to become more prolific with my reading. There are just so many good books to read!
Switzerland looks like such a beautiful country and I definitely hope to go there one day. I have friends there that will be able to show us around their beautiful homeland.
I do hope you and your wife are able to make it back to Maui and will be praying everything works out for that to happen soon!
Thank you for following along with our videos and thank you very much for your service.
Merry Christmas!
- Caroline
Thank you Mr. Stralen for your remarks regarding freedom, how precious it is, and how it is worth fighting for. And Caroline, your camera work on this episode was awesome. From the amount of out-of-Jeep shots, I’m guessing you walked quite a bit. Nice work!
Agreed, freedom is very precious. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, Caroline ended up doing a lot of walking on this trail to get the shots. Hope you have a wonderful day.
“A fortunate life” Is my recommendation. This was a book I read on quiet nights in the workshop when I was an engineer for a printing company. It got me in the frame of mind for adventure. Born in 1894, Albert Facey lived the rough frontier life of a sheep farmer, survived the gore of Gallipoli, raised a family through the Depression, and spent 60 years with his beloved wife, Evelyn. Despite enduring hardships we can barely imagine today, Facey always saw his life as a "fortunate" one. A true classic of Australian literature, his simply written autobiography is an inspiration. It is the story of a life lived to the full--the extraordinary journey of an ordinary man.
Wow this sounds like an amazing book. Thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely read it.
- Caroline
"The epic family". You guys always make my day. I really enjoy watching your adventures. Now I also wanna own a Jeep and go camping 1 day. Truly inspiring ❣️
Thank you! 😊👍
Great video! I read Endurance on my solo sailing trip to Alaska a few years ago. While sailing my 37’ sloop in the Tracy Arm with its house size ice floating in the strong current made the read much more meaningful. Trying to push to the foot of the calving glacier was impossible due to the heavier ice pack gave you a sense of what Shackleton and his crew experienced.
Another book I read on this trip was “The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake” by Samual Bawlf. About a voyage up the west coast in search of the west entrance to the Northwest Passage, the voyage that was kept secret for 200 years.
My Alaska trip was to be a shake down before sailing to the South Pacific with my late wife. The 6 month trip was a success, however, sailing without my sailing partner of 32 years was not as enjoyable. I have since, sold my boat, the condo, moved to Alberta where I have taken up over landing with my Toyota diesel Hilux and pursuing my photography and adventure.
Keep up the great videos and adventures, maybe see you on a trail someday.
Wow that’s sounds like quite the adventure!
I will definitely check out Samual Bawlf’s book, thank you for the recommendation.
For sure, that would be great to meet on the trail one day.
Good luck with your adventures and happy trails!
- Caroline
I would call the places you explore "the last frontier". It's really wild and wonderful country.
I don’t know why you guys don’t have over a million subs! Your videos are spectacular! ✌🏻🇨🇦
What a nice way to spend a Sunday morning, cup of coffee and a great epic family road trip adventure!!!
Thank you for watching! 👍🏼☺️
- Caroline
@@EFRT love watching your videos, great content and just love your photography.... should also put out a cook book of all those delicious meals!!
So exciting to follow you through this adventure. Glad to see you are getting some sunny days. Those tight trails are gorgeous. I can’t wait for our trip. It was -20 in SE sask today. Bless you and your family. Thanks for the videos. Ps my dogs are so jealous. They miss the daily baths hiking around the island dripping wet covered in mud.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully you can get out on your trip sooner than later. Hope you have a wonderful day.
This is by far some of the best videos on UA-cam. I have just binge watched the last seven months and WOW. Now I will start from the beginning and then wait till next week.
Thank you for your support and for following along on the adventure! 😄👍🏻
Your videos are one of the highlights of my Sunday evenings. It’s always awesome when you show you guys saying grace before meals. Thanks for taking us along on your trips.
Thanks for watching. We are glad you are enjoying the videos. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Cheers for the shout-out for our book Caroline. So glad you guys are still out and about enjoying the trails.
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoy your videos. You are a wonderful and respectful family.
Thanks for your kind words. We are glad that you are enjoying our videos. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Thanks for showing me my province to the world...with far more than I've seen. From Vancouver with love
God bless.. mother Nature...👍
Thank you for the fabulous scenery . Your family trip together and love of discovery is a real treasure to us all. Also, hearing the books/ audio books are interesting too ❤️
Just what I needed on this rainy day! 😀
May I recommend 'An Unexpected Light' by Jason Elliot. An extraordinary tale of travel in Afghanistan which did more to explain the mysteries of the Middle East to me than anything else I have read. On the sailing front ( I live on a boat) Voyaging the Pacific by Miles Hordern is a terrific account of a single handed sailor in a 28 foot boat crossing the Southern Ocean from New Zealand to Chile and back again. Tania Aebi was just 16 when she set off, alone, to sail around the world. Her book 'Maiden Voyage' is another good read about sailing.
That sounds really fascinating, I will definitely read ‘An Unexpected Light’!
Wow, ‘Voyaging The Pacific’ sounds like an epic book, I’ll definitely check that one out as well.
I remember reading about Tania Abei and I definitely plan to read her book as well.
- Caroline
having my lunch break at office while watching Epic family road trip.. so relaxing..
Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant, just stumbled across your Epic Family Road Trip and I can’t stop watching! Very inspiring keep it up 👍🏻
Another great adventure! Thanks for sharing! Food looks great as as always.
Saludos a todos , me encanta su familia y sus aventuras. Dios los bendiga y proteja siempre. Sus expediciones son increíbles.
Thank you Alexander!!
God bless
We have been on the road ourselves so it was great to catch up on the snowy day here in Colorado. Really enjoy the channel your video of the great outdoor is stunning. May your family have a great Christmas and may you get out more in 2021.
We are so glad that you are enjoying our videos. Sounds like you had a great road trip of your own. A very merry Christmas to you too.
Definitely made me hungry! You guys are all so inspirational!
Endurance is my favorite. Hard to understand the strength of character they had. If you like maritime stories, I enjoyed Joshua Slocum’s book Sailing Alone Around the World about his trip in a 36 ft sailboat in the late 1800s. Love you channel!
I loved the book recommendations. I hope it will be a regular feature. "The Dig Tree" sounds so good and "Endurance" is one of my all time favorites. I've read it more than once as well. Strangers Like Angels is one that I will put on my list for my daughter's Christmas this year. She is a world traveler like you folks. Thank you. Love this channel too much!
What a great video! Thank you for sharing!!! The camera shots were also perfection! Thanks again EFRT!!!!
Thank you!! 👍🏻
I enjoy listening, learning and traveling along with your family adventures. Thank you for sharing ❤️ My Best Always 🚒 Jesse
1:00 "We get a lot of rain here" that is the understatement of the century.. Vancouver Island, is one of the wettest places in North American. A lovely little place called HENDERSON LAKE (google it) is the Wettest place in North America, and situated not far from Tofino.
1:27 Radar hill had nothing to do with the attack on Pearl Harbour, it was commissioned 2 years after the attack in 1943 and it was intended as a Cold War installment, against the USSR, not the Japanese. it closed in 1951, and reopened in 1958 as the Tofino Airport.
The Site of Radar hill is the site of the Tofino Canso bomber crash
On 8 February 1945, Consolidated Canso 11007 was departing RCAF Station Tofino on a routine night anti-submarine patrol of the coastline having been cleared for take-off at 2300 hours and had just passed the end of the runway when the port engine failed. The flight carried 12 personnel, 620 imp gal (2,800 l) of fuel and four 255 lb (116 kg) depth charges. While failing to gain altitude over a forested area the pilot attempted a 180-degree turn to return to the airfield, and impacted the side of a low hill. All on board survived with only minor injuries. Later, the RCAF retrieved all salvageable equipment including radios, radar equipment and machine guns, and detonated the depth charges, leaving a crater. The wreck is in a relatively easy to access location in National Park land (which precludes salvage) close to roads and is a popular destination for hikers despite most of the area being swampy.
Thanks 👍🏻
Two book to recommend. Dove by Robin L. Graham. 16 year old solo sail around the world in a 24 foot sloop. And The High Adventure of Eric Ryback. Solo hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Canada to Mexico.
Thank you for your great recommendations! I will definitely check these out.
- Caroline
Those trails looked absolutely luscious. Whew. My Jeep is envious of your guys’ and what they get to see lol.
As always appreciate the videos of beautiful B.C. thanks so much sharing those amazing places in Canada and the rest of the country. From Sooke, Vancouver Island.
“Endurance” is one of my favorite books, about The Shackleton South Pole Expedition... Ernst Shackleton was a true leader of men, and an intrepid explorer.
Keep up the awesome videos. Love your channel.👍👍
Thank you! 👍🏼
What a great family you have. Talking about freedom and I detected a prayer just before you ate. I would like to recommend Andrew St. Pierre White's book, Torn Trousers.
We’re glad you’re enjoying our videos. Thanks for the book recommendation we’ll definitely check that out. Have a wonderful day.
Excellent Video as usual, Im amazed that your pet has so much energy, he keeps running for such a long distance...
@17:50, We call it Tawa, several centuries old kitchen Utensil in India. Every single kitchen in the country will sure have at least one. Now the modern day ones are every were, but the old cast iron ones will give the right flavor.
Yes, Lando has a lot of energy and can pretty much run all day if he has the chance. We didn’t realize that the Skottle / Tawa is also used in India. Thanks for sharing. 🇮🇳 🥘
Dooope! (Homer). I see you’ve read about Shackleton... Here’s another very interesting book. ‘The Autobiography of Buffalo Bill Cody.’ He was quite the adventurer, entrepreneur, showman, and storyteller... enjoy.
Thank you for the recommendation! We’ll definitely check it out 👍🏼
- Caroline
I would recommend King of the Outback by Bill King who really pioneered travel in Australia's outback. From the back cover of the book "Billg King is the pioneer who put the Australia outback on the map for both local and international tourists"..
Thank you for your recommendation! That sounds really interesting.
- Caroline
Met Erik Hesselberg in the home of a neighbor back in the 1960's. He was on a book tour about the !Kon-Tiki adventure. Was mesmerizing for me as a 12 year old boy!
Thank you for the nice video 😎👍
😄👍🏻 Thank you for watching
Beautiful country side and a great track . Liked the book review also .love reading about any adventure traveling style books . so thanks will check them out sound like some awesome books . Love your videos . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
I love all your videos. Stay safe🙏
Thank you! 😊
Those Rain Forest Backroads looks so good! I’ll drive them one day!! 🤙🏼
Beautiful! Like always! Loved the hiking part! That’s right up my alley! lol The rainforest up there reminds me of northern Minnesota in the summertime 🙌🏼 ...and Pete needs a haircut! lol
Glad he enjoyed the video. You’re right, Pete does need a haircut 💇♂️😀
Really enjoyed the book recommendations and another great episode 👍
Tofino... been salmon fishing there. Interesting history on the Korean War... great video.
Such a great video as always!!! Caroline keep the awesome shots coming. The refection of the Jeep in water was excellent!! Also thanks for the book ideas,and very nice touch to the video. Dan and Pete if you like WWII air craft check out the CAF hanger in Midland Texas. Some very interesting historical items there! Really liked the "history lesson" in this episode! Iam a military history fan, so really enjoyed that. By the way Pete what kind of pants are those ? Like the cargo pockets! Peter and Carolyn always awesome guides!!!! Really like that folding saw! Also I could smell that amazing meal!!!! Thanks for taking us along!!! Your videos are the best!
Thank you!! 😄👍
We haven’t been, but the boys and I would definitely love to check it out next time we’re in Texas which is hopefully sooner than later! We absolutely love learning about history and seeing historical things like that so thank you for recommending it.
Peter’s pants are by a company called Fjällräven, they’re great 👍
The folding saw is by Agawa Canyon: amzn.to/2WoeAF2
- Caroline
@@EFRT Caroline, thanks so much for the reply!!!! Also thanks for the links! When you get to Texas let me know, I have a ranch near San Angelo y'all would be more than welcome to explore!!
That would be so awesome, thank you! We spent a lot of time in San Angelo earlier this year before we got our second Jeep built out in Durant, Oklahoma.
@@EFRT Very awesome!!!! Lot of Western history in Angelo. Fort Concho , Fort Chadborn to North, Mission at Menard, Fort Scott in Mason and Fort Lancaster to the Southwest. About hour East of Angelo is the geographical center of Texas. Small community of Mercury.
Awesome E.F.R.T. Best one ever!!
Thank you! 😄👍🏼
Great show
Great video as always. Nice to see you using the skottel and yes it is very popular over here in South Africa.
Awesome video 👍🏼
Thats an absolute miracle the people on that plane survived
That shot at about the 6:50 mark... incredible!
Watta epic family road trip..awesome ur jeep luff it..lots of luff frm TIBET 😘😘stay safe n drive safe
Thats who Worsley is.Sure has great lights.
Hello. Could you tell us the model of that wood cutting saw you use to clear the trail of those downed trees. I like the fact if was collapsible and seem to have aggressive teeth. Keep the great adventure going..
Shawarma Canyon Boreal
Here it is.

20:24 - Respect!
That is a Catalina PBY. My dad flew those in WW II. Generally used for sub patrol.
Definitely a PBY.
There is a cool campsite on Malcolm Island, a short ferry ride from Port McNeil. Bere Point. Whales and other marine life can often be seen around there.
Awesome. Thanks for the tip 👍🏻
I saw you driving through my town of Parksville today!!! Got a little excited and would really have liked to meet you but unfortunately could not get off the highway on time. We love your videos. My husband and I have a roof top tent and love it. Gave up our 30 foot trailer in our 60's and went with a roof top. Planned to travel across Canada this past summer but was cancelled due to the state of the world. Hopefully next year. Keeps us young we say. Two summers ago we did drive all the way to Dawson City. Great trip. One thing we would ask when you do your videos if you could say where you are at the beginning. Nice to know what areas you are talking about. We admire you for doing what you are doing. Hopefully see you on the road one day. Cheers and Merry Christmas
Hi there. You guys sound like a very adventurous couple. Hopefully things will get back to normal and you can do your cross-country trip next summer. Great idea about saying where we are exploring at the beginning of the video.
A very merry Christmas to you too! We’ll see you down the road. 👍🏻
If you want to discover more of the west coast head down the road to Salmon Beach Toquart Bay, there are lots of interesting off road sites and two Recreational villages. You may even stumble upon the hermit castle farm. Great episode as always.
Thanks Lisa. We’ll add those to our list of places to explore. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Those saws are amazing. I bought one on your recommendation and use it every time we are out. (Including yesterday). Vancouver island is beautiful. I’ve been there twice for extended times with the military but never got to see it like you are.
Awesome, glad you are making good use of the saw. Happy trails.
Woohoo.🎉🎊
20:33 yes it made me hungry!! and it smells nice too :)
Caroline - if you like sailing books, I recommend 2 from Christian Williams: Alone Together, and Philosophy of Sailing. He has a UA-cam channel where you can sample each and even see a 30-min summary video. It is not action/adventure type, but it’ll take you deeper into sailing and what it must be like on a long transoceanic journey. You’re a bright young lady and a great role model I’d like my daughters to learn from. Stay true to your internal compass and close to your wonderful family as you grow up and explore this crazy world.
Thank you very much!
I will definitely read those two and check out Christian William’s UA-cam channel. 👍🏼😍
I have always loved the ocean and dreamed of sailing one day so I will love to read those 👌🏼
- Caroline
hello from the Philippines, i loved your videos so much!
Thanks for showing honor and respect for our warriors that fought against the expansion of the communist totalitarian regimes.
Our current generations have to step up to do our parts now.
You’re welcome and yes we agree we definitely need to do our part. Have a wonderful day.
thanx for the book recommendations am gona try strangers like angels
Awesome, enjoy!
- Caroline
We all need to Fight for FREEDOM, I like that but sadly a lot of people don't get it but there's Hope. We need more people like you Thanks!
Thanks for your comment. Yes, freedom can never be taken for granted. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Hi Caroline, if you liked Kon Tiki, then you might like The Brendan Voyage by Tim Severin. similar toThor Heyerdahl, Tim sets out to prove that something could have occured, in this case, he wanted to prove that the monk St Brendan could have crossed to the Americas before the Vikings did! And in a leather boat made of 48 Ox hides. Recomended.
Hello Roger, thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely add it to my reading list!
I read a bit about the monk St Brendan’s voyage in an old book published in 1930 called “The World’s Great Adventure - 1,000 Years of Polar Exploration” By, Francis Trevelyan Miller.
It was very fascinating to read so I would love to read Tim Severin’s book!
- Caroline
Hello my favourite family of UA-cam.
Hello! 👋
Thank you for watching 😄
Wow I'm a fan of this machine jeep all the way 👍
Beautiful family 💜 love u from 🇲🇽
Thank you! 😊👋
video yang menarik untuk ditonton nih gaes!
Loved the book recommendations! Mine is Undaunted Courage by Stephen R. Ambrose. It’s about Lewis and Clark’s epic journey exploring the west all the way to the mouth of the Columbia River. Makes the history of the Pacific Northwest come alive too. So next time you’re heading south from Torino...
Thank you for the recommendation!
I will definitely read ‘Undaunted Courage’ it sounds very interesting!
- Caroline
Other epic gateway ♥️
Caroline has a good collection of books, I loved her part in the video. would like to read some during the holidays. cheers!!!
Thank you! 👍😊
Cheers!
Wow . good go. Yawl are awesome. Peace. How has it taken me so long to find your channel?
Merry christmas to all
Being Canadian, you might enjoy “Epic Wanderer, David Thompson & the Mapping of the Canadian West” by D’Arcy Jenish.
Yes, I definitely will read this!
Thank you for your recommendation👍🏼
- Caroline
it must be so great to have everything you need and not live in a society that conforms your lives with materialistic items. I remember the days when I could leave my house with only the clothes on my back, keys and wallet. when a pager was the only mode of communication (i just revealed my age) and life was simpler. but of course I love technology coz I could watch your video and dream one day to do what y'all do
Good suggestions on books! And...what was the chicken meal you made on skottle? Recipe? Love your videos! Come to Arizona someday!
Caribbean Jerk Chicken 🍗 👍🏻
Book recommendation: Mark & Delia Owens - Cry of the Kalahari.
Coincidence we were in Tofino at the same, taking in some beach therapy, and doing some poking around on the backroads...
A must read and one of my top 5 books that I think you all would enjoy is Astoria by Peter Stark.
“Unfolding over the course of three years, from 1810 to 1813, Astoria is a tale of high adventure and incredible hardship in the wilderness and at sea. Of the more than one hundred-forty members of the two advance parties that reached the West Coast-one crossing the Rockies, the other rounding Cape Horn-nearly half perished by violence. Others went mad. Within one year, the expedition successfully established Fort Astoria, a trading post on the Columbia River. Though the colony would be short-lived, it opened provincial American eyes to the potential of the Western coast and its founders helped blaze the Oregon Trail.”
Wow that sounds like a fascinating book! Thank you for your recommendation.
- Caroline
Thank you for the book recommendations. It’s what gets our minds wandering when we cannot physically. You might really enjoy “Wild Survival” by Laurence Gonzales about who survive and who don’t in extreme situations. “The Dove” by Robin Lee Graham, Maiden Voyage by Tania Albi and Embarrassment of Mangoes by Ann Vanderfoot are all great sailing reads.
I’ve added these all to my reading list. Thank you so much for your recommendations, they all look really good. 👍🏼
- Caroline
In pashto language " Der alla zaberdast " welldon. Family sharing good time that's it . Enjoy guys pray for your health and long life.
Thank you 🙏
Great episode! A good suggestion of an adventurer book is Mark Boyle's The Way Home: Tales from a Life Without Technology. Strongly recommend this novel if you want a similar experience.
Thank you for the recommendation, that books sounds really interesting 👍🏼
I love that collapsible handsaw
Thank you Carolyn. I was wondering what the significance of the names of your Jeeps at the beginning of the video! Enjoy your family immensely
PBY-Catalina!
You can turn one of those into a flying Over the World Vehicle!
