A lot of VERY experienced friends of mine have said the same! We'd be both humbled and honored to meet up with him. I hope so too! ~ Eric
We are driving around the world. Right now.

I'm officially a 7-CONTINENT TRAVELER! This has been a dream of mine for over 3 decades! Our Jeep is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and we're on our way TO AFRICA to meet it. This video is REALLY special to me personally. It is one of the few things left on my bucket list.
We're also messing with a new video format for our YouTube as we start this new continent. Hope you enjoy it, would appreciate any sincere feedback.
Also if you have any questions, I'm here for it! ~ Eric

So few understand this, but thank you for that encouragement. We're super excited to start up again. We took 5 months of rest in Mexico, followed by 4 months of overlanding around the USA visiting friends and family before taking off to Africa. I just put up our latest video here on our thread and the journey continues! Hope you guys are well!

It wasn't easy getting our Jeep Gladiator "DAUNTLESS" to Africa. But we did it. Here's the WHOLE story...
This overlanding thing is a challenge... but also one worth taking on. Any questions I'm here for it. ~ Eric

Awesome, this is going to be fun to watch.
Have you made contact with Christoff yet? I have a conference call with him this week if you need me to pass anything on.
Explorer I
Not directly, but we'd love to. Please ask him the best way to get in touch, and find out where he is so I can see if we'll cross paths. We'd love to meet him. Been devouring his videos.

As soon as folks found out we were going to be overlanding through South Africa, everyone started telling us about the Coast and the Cederberg as places to check out. So we did. This video covers that entire journey. So far Africa is nothing like I thought it would be. But it is still awesome. Hope you enjoy this leg and if you haven't subscribed yet and are interested in Africa, you are invited. ~ Eric

South Africa was awesome and we barely scratched the surface. We're in Namibia now and it only gets better. Definitely encourage you to take the leap. YOLO! If I can be a resource for you at all, don't hesitate to reach out. ~ Eric

Come on down Jim! This continent has been amazing so far!
If I could do this even only here in the US that would be an accomplishment. Watching your family undertake what you have is inspiring.

Watching the latest video on the tube right now. Any luck getting the IG back? that sucks. It's not like you can keep all the images on a backup or something. Space is very limited in Dauntless. Maybe moving forward use some sort of cloud storage so you keep your memories safe.
Was curious about that and have only watched that one video and one in the Rockies, so I have no idea what lead up to the IG being shuttered in the first place. I'd like to know that, too, if they didn't already say. I don't use it but it would be good to know in case I ever do, know what NOT to do to get shut down
It was interesting to me that at first they decided not to make videos and I liked their reasoning why - to be present in the moment. Before driving to Boseman I saw some YouTube vids by a young couple who traveled by van a lot, and one of their videos was a breakdown of what it took to make just one video - the equipment, the time, the editing, blocking out shots, and how it made them unable to appreciate a lot of their surroundings. In fact, in many of their videos, they mention "so, this is actually our second time to "X" place, we enjoyed the place and got good ideas for how to make a video, what to leave in what to leave out, for the next time. So here we are."
But I am glad they do make videos because it gives us so many nice views and some real insight
