Why a Single Little Spot Makes Driving Across 'America' Impossible

[familygash]

The only veichle that can safely traverse The Darien Gap with no issues is of course the legendary Toyota Corolla.

"Single little spot"
*100 km natural barrier*

I remember the good old days where I would use Apple Maps on my family's first generation iPad to search for directions to Beijing, select "Walk", and watch this glorious contraption instruct me to canoe across the Pacific ocean

This video should be used as a material to teach how to rephrase the same sentence in 100 different ways.

So now there is a full video about the darien gap epic

Just use skillshare to learn how to make a road trough the Darien gap.

Thanks for the video from Panama! Back in 1996 I was part of a volunteer/US military group that flew Christmas donations to a remote village in the Darien. The Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter traversed "the rugged landscape" by flying up over ridges and back down into the many valleys. Lots of nausea as we searched for the village. We stopped at an airfield for directions and dismounted for a bathroom break. We were rushed back into the helicopter as police notified us the FARC had been spotted in the area, and yes they love hostages for ransom money. We did deliver the gifts without any gunfire. I have since met Columbians that walked to Panama. It is not an easy feat to say the least.

Why does everything sound so epic when you put "intercontinental" before it, even though it is just a highway

Random fact: Most birds are completely immune to spice such as that in peppers. They also don’t digest pepper seeds, making spice the perfect strategy to spread their seeds.

"The Darian breakthrough", look it up, two Range Rovers drove across it in 1971.

You've obviously have never heard of the Duke boys . They could make that jump.

Darien Gap: Haha you can't go pass my forests
Humans in the future: *So you've chosen deforestation.*

[ricardogarcia]

Here in Panamá there's currently a joke that says "Darien doesn't exist" due to the fact that it is so isolated and wild down there that almost no Panamanian has ever been there and that we've almost met nobody from Darien hahahaha.

I’ve learned so much from your videos over the past couple of months. Right when I get down with 1 I’m on to the next & even looking deeper into the topic on my own. Thank you for your amazing content 😄

Instead of building a road through this gap, lets build a road around the gap. Let's build a road on the beach.

Who would win?

Multiple nations who went through wars, revolutions, and technological advancements, or;
One swampy boi.

This sounds like black hole or Bermuda triangle on land.

“There’s an even bigger reason why a road hasn’t been built here”

Jane here. Your videos are so enlightening! Sometimes places just don't need to be conquered. Period. No worker should have to die just to make a road.
I'm shocked by the numbers who died making the Panama Canal.
