REALITY of Living in a Small Expedition Truck (FULL TOUR)

One year ago, @Frontrunneroutfitters kitted me out with a whole bunch of incredible gear - I'm still in shock with the trust they put in me when I was just getting started with my expedition rig Odyssey! After a year of testing it out almost daily, I can honestly say that their gear is super high quality and all of it has served me well, and lasted through countless dirt roads on 3 continents. Thumbs up!

Featuring special guests!
⚡️ @MikeGloverChannel - thanks for your time, tips and awesome first aid kid!
⚡️ @ExpeditionOverland - what a pleasure to meet you in person! Check out their awesome overland adventures in the USA and beyond.

I am 83, my wife 81; we had a rooftop tent like your 45 years ago here in Michigan. It was mounted on top of a Plymouth window van. Our two young teen boys slept inside on bunks and my wife and I slept on top in the tent. We had a 1 burner stove, a rustic potty system, and an ice required cooler. We loved many trips.
Now, at our ages, we travel in a 40 ft diesel Class A motorhome... yes at our ages ... we have 137, 000 miles on it.
We are leaving MI July 20 for a 30+ day trip to Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. We will boondock in casino parking lots, stay in the yards of friends, state parks, and local rv parks.

Please look into a Personal Locator beacon! Press one button and US or Canadian search and rescue will be on their way and have your GPS location. They aren't expensive and could save yours and Wilks lives.

Whoever crosses your path in this life is a lucky person... Love your spirit and your smile! Happy travels!

Your channel is a new addition to my life. It is a glimpse into a life that is a marvel to me. I'm a father of two daughters roughly your age. I made some bad decisions when I was younger and now, if I ever want to retire with any security, I have to make up for those decisions. That means for the last couple decades I have worked a lot, especially these last few years since Covid. Life often feels empty and pointless if I'm being honest. Your videos remind me there is a world our there I've yet to see, and hopefully one day shall.

Eva, my name is Greg and I am now 70 and my passion was travel and climbing all over the world. Last two years developed a couple neurological diseases, so pretty much instantly grounded. But, I have taken to YouTube to watch people doing and going places that always gave me meaning and love for the wild. So far, your expeditions have lifted me back in time and brought me joyful thoughts again. Couple things ( hope you read your comments ): in this episode I was surprised you ran into and met Mike. Mike was one of my son’s mentors during his college age years. If you have not learned of Mike’s background you should consider meeting him again and taking him out for dinner and a beer. Mike is truly, on a different level, an American hero. We all are in debt for individuals like him that sacrificed so much for us all. Next, I know WY, MT etc are so beautiful, I know them all like the back of my hand, BUT if you want wilderness and beauty and isolation like no other, in the 48 States, spend a summer exploring Idaho. Nothing like it. Lastly, safe travels and enjoy and explore all you can in your youth. It gets harder as you age and things catch up. Thank you for sharing your journey. God speed !

[GraphicAnomaly]

The entire reason I started watching this channel was because I like seeing your solutions to everyday life. It shows that you can be comfortable without a house ^.^

Drinking water left in the sun won't hurt you, but expert says, we should avoid persistent exposure to plastic containers left in the hot sun. Exposed to extreme heat plastic containers may ultimately become unsafe. Enjoy your journey Eva! 👍💛✌

[RenaissanceThinking]

Was I ever shocked to see Glover in your video. Great stuff.

[chucknorriss]

just imagine in one year from now how many memories this beautiful girl with her amazing dog will have. thank you for sharing and my best wishes twords you two! you inspire me and many others. YOU BET!!!

Hey Eva, I hope you are checking for weather patterns in Alaska for the period of your tour. Also, try to consult people who have been thru the region, regarding animal migration routes, times of year, and especially bug repellants you may need to have along. Mosquitos and black flies will be active in many spots. Take along proper medication for bites (like that bee sting) to reduce itching and general discomfort. Vilk will need flea and tick preparations. Obviously you are thinking way ahead regarding the vehicle set up, but try to get all maintenance done now. Alaska is very remote. A breakdown up there can ruin your day. Wishing you smooth running all the way!

If you have to, you can teach your dog to sleep in the truck while you sleep above. He will accept it as his space even though he will object and cry at first. Once he understands that that is where you want him to sleep, he will accept it.

I think Odissey definitely has a character, it may not be the most sophisticated around the neck of the woods you're travelling but....it's hand made, it's been built by you and your uncle with a lot of love and that's gotta count for something. Have a great new week!

[carolineindacityphx]

I fall in love with Odyssey a little more each time. I get it that having a fancy van is great but Odyssey is made for adventure! Can't wait to see what improvements you are making to her. See you on the next video! PS: Vilk is getting cuter. Is that possible? ❤️❤️❤️

[moongold]

When I saw that cabin in the woods, I thought it was Brooke Whipple 's cabin she built. ( Girl In The Woods) Same colors and shape. And the side is clear and opens up.
Looking forward to seeing your next video with the updates on Odyssey.
Safe travels to you both 🧡

Your Shepherd puppy is so awesome! He reminds me of my buddy, Cody, when he was a pup :) As someone who has driven from the East Coast to Alaska a few times, the biggest tip I recommend is to fill up on fuel almost every single chance you get, because on the Alaska Hwy, you will drive for hours without seeing any signs of civilization, which I loved, but it can be a little nerve racking if you start to run low on fuel. The drive up to Alaska is amazing though (especially traveling through the Canadian Rockies!) and you will love it. Have fun and stay safe!

[chuckbradley]

Mike Glover is the man when it comes to survival. Glad you hooked up with him for advice. He will definitely give you great insight for over-landing. No better expert out there.

[markslade]

Hi Eva, we have missed you! Saw you on The travel show on BBC in UK which was a nice surprise. Hope you are well! Xx

[alistairkip]

Your spirit, your beauty, Thanks for hanging out in my living room and showing me your adventures.. Always a pleasure to watch :)

[stoggie]

Like Michael from Overland Bound says “ it doesn’t matter what you drive, adventure is necessary”.

[Ver_Cat]

Omg Expedition Overland! I started watching overlanders on YouTube because of Clay's videos. Went with them (meaning I watched the video series lol) to South America. I felt like I was with them the entire time. Their rigs are 💜
