We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

In Texas we say hours for distance not miles.
Example
“How far is San Antonio?”
“Oh it’s 2 hours away!”

Don’t be scared of the shady looking taco trucks. They will change your life

[CrazyBlox]

Who else lives in Texas and just came here out of curiosity? (EDIT: Dang I come back here 1 year later and it has 6.2K likes, nice.)

[scarletfoxx]

I’m 97% sure 9 out of 10 of these views are my fellow Texans.

#1 rule of Texas. Don’t trespass. ever. You might actually get shot 😅 (lived in Texas my entire life)

[leebiggers]

In Texas, we measure distance in hours.

[elisa.r.g]

Everything is Texas is either 20 minutes or 4 hours away. No in between.

There's an old Texas saying. "If you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes, it'll change"

[Karabiner]

We are SUPER friendly, if you are polite. Our friendliness disappears if you are rude.

We will bend over backwards to be kind, but if you are disrespectful, that will change.

[kaitlyn]

“Watch the ten-day forecast” It’s easier and more accurate to just pack for every weather possible in Texas. Born and raised in Texas.

[TxRogue]

“Speed Limit” actually means “Speed Minimum”

[quicoboy]

You forgot the main one: "Don't Mess With Texas." Do not litter...Anywhere! That's the ultimate rude.

[djmoska]

Don’t Drive 50mph when everyone else is doing 110 mph.

Logic: If we all drive fast, no one is gonna be stopped by the cops.

[jesseporras]

Remember that if you hear "Well bless your heart" coming from a Texan you've done f-d up!

[timturner]

Lol...and by all means don’t tell ANYONE you’re from California!!!

[tonycoffee]

Buc-ees has the cleanest bathrooms i have ever seen on the open road.

[braydenderkowski]

Everyone in this comment section including me are just Texans seeing if this is a true video

[jessetellez]

I'm from Texas and went to Florida for a vacation, walked up to a random person and said "good morning as i entered a gas station." The stranger looked at me like I was crazy. That's when I realized Texans are very polite by nature.

[doge]

I asked my friend what his favorite country is
He said Texas
Can't argue with that logic

[snowbarrientos]

Here’s a tip from a Texas native, Texas is bipolar as hell, and yes we will have all seasons in a day
