      i understand the need to trim the hair , but when it blowing wind or cold outside its better to have the longer hair then not? now that you did cut the hair, its time for neck sharf and the beanie, ! next time longer hair is an insulater for the body, ?

    As always, a lot of “wow”, “whoa”, and “wish we were there”moments, sprinkled in with a few “yikes” and an “aww” at family heading in the opposite direction. Lovely video!

    Another spectacular episode..shared with family. Nicks haircutting reminded me of my dad lining up my brothers and me to cut our hair. When I turned 12, I earned money to get it professionally cut. Special way to spend Christmas and New Years amid one of the most unique places on earth.

Nice to hear Tom is still in the area. Still remember Tom's attempt to bake a potato🥔 in Jerry's engine. 😅. Mom sounds like she enjoyed solitude of nature, as I do. 🚙🎊🎉🎈WISHING YOU ALL HAPPY NEW YEAR WHEREVER YOU MAY BE.🎈🎉🎊 Hope mom and brother had safe trip back home. ♥☮North CA USA🕝Loved the haircuts.

    Breathtaking landscapes. I love your family vibe. Very special spirit. For all that I was gutted by the indifference to the wildlife and the evil barbed wire. Man’s cruelty never ceases to amaze. It was the bane of the Wild West of the USA. Nevertheless, carry on.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  Рік тому

      Yes those barbed wires were awful… and we only showed two but there were so many… we were scouting to see if there was one still alive to help but none. A friend did help one a week before … it s so crazy those fences are there … thousands and thousands of km

That mountain veiw, breathtaking! Wow! I am surprised all the land is private. Who owns it? Too bad for the wildlife and fences. Thank you for taking us on the strenuous hike.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition

      You are right ! We are usually two weeks behind. Just for when Nick s family was here we got a bit more delay so we could enjoy without having the editing to do. But normally you are right it s two weeks! We re not sure who owns the land but it s private huuuuuge areas really crazy

Your Mom rocks that toyota...that was a high top, and i suspect it felt scary at times driving it. So happy you could spend the holidays with family! I am going to try to get my cousin to do this same trip! I am in awe of this area! I am also putting Chiloe Island on the route as well. Just finished Maya's Notebook by Isabel Allende. Haircuts on the road...fun!

      @russmartin4189 Рік тому +1

      @@NextMeridianExpedition That is good. It wasn't their fault the tire came apart on the rim. Perhaps it wasn't a good brand of tire? I know all terrain tires can be expensive. Also, if one more did that, it would have ruined the entire trip, depending on where it happened. I hope the rental company apologized.

    • @NextMeridianExpedition
      @NextMeridianExpedition  Рік тому

      yes the tires were small for the weight it felt. it could have been really dangerous

    • @russmartin4189
      @russmartin4189 Рік тому

      If the company has a lot of customers who go where you went, they should use bigger and better tires. It was a blowout waiting to happen, and if it happened on a dangerous road, someone might have died. There are some very crazy roads in Chile and Bolivia where the road is built into a cliff and it drops right off. They are built for one vehicle, but two can get by if they are almost touching. Sometimes one has to back up a long distance to let one pass. They call them DEATH ROADS. There was a group that biked over one of those roads and the brakes on a girl's bike failed and she went over the cliff. Ouch! I wonder if the family sued the bike rental company and got any money? It wouldn't bring their daughter back, but it might help in some way.
