Tell us one thing from your stories: in difficult situations, staying positive and optimistic is definitely the best way!
Thank you for sharing, great job！👍😃👏

謝謝你們的分享，辛苦了！

I felt Naick when he said “maybe we should have stayed at home.” Understandable considering the situation. I’m glad you both were able to go fishing and enjoy the day. Looks like you both are on the road again! Happy travels!

It’s a drag - just keep reminding yourselves that it happened within range of a dealership and in a town with an airport. Better than happening halfway up the Alaska highway!

You guys are just bloody adorable Sorry to hear about Vinny breaking down but on a brighter note congrats on your first catch 🐟

[kenandcoreen]

First of all - Kim, you had me laughing at the wildlife you spotted out your window. LOL. Glad you got to go fishing, and was even happier that Naick ended up with one! We really enjoy fishing as well. Despite being stuck in Regina, you guys put out another great video. - Coreen

Sorry you are going through these situations but I am a true believer that when things happen or go wrong there is reason, something you are being protected from. So I count it as a blessing, things don't just happen by coincidence. Will be praying for you both and your journey. All will be okay 🙏

We've only had one Ford in our lifetime, and will never get another. We had two names for it... "Fix Or Repair Daily" and "Found On Road Dead" that was our FORD. Sorry you guys had this bad luck. It was still an awesome video, as always.

Yes Naick I did laugh at the "wild life". At first I thought, "what is she looking at?" Then I burst out laughing when Kim mentioned the cars. So sorry you are having a tough time with the van but you have a beautiful trip ahead of you. You are getting closer to the Rocky Mountains and be prepared to be in awe! keep smiling!

The biggest issue I see is buying Vinny then shipping him over. So much money. Cheaper to fly over and hit a Ford dealer and get a North American Vinnie... so no issues. European Vinnie is a bit of of a lemon...especially abroad :(

Really appreciate this transparent episode. A little painful but it means a lot that your sharing so much. "Another beautiful morning in..." 🤣 at least you still have a sense of humor. It's cool to be a part of your channel community. Amazing catch🎣 😃 Sending Best Wishes and Blessings, James and Kim

You 2 have the patience of saints & hearts of gold! I'm so happy your experience was dealt by friendly peøple, otherwise it would've been SO much worse. I'm a proud Swiss-Canadian. Am trying hard to catch up, it's July 23th already. Love, stay safe

Unforgettable memories ... the events hint that life is wonderful at a slower pace. Huge fish ... did you eat your catch?

[efoster]

Sorry for your bad luck with the van. Wish you better luck soon. By the way it is common to experience windshield cracks out west due to gravel falling out of or being thrown out from under truck tires. Can happen more than once on a long trip. Happened to me many times. Sometimes repairs are covered by insurance. Since summer is the road repair season, delays on the road are also common, as are more opportunities for windshield cracks or holes. Stay away from trucks as best you can. Good Luck.

Hey Guys…. Glad you got to have poutine with‘squeaky cheese’. You may be able to get that poutine in other cities…. Dan thinks they have shops across Canada…And yay Naick caught a fish. Now that Kim has her own rod, maybe she can reel one in as well. So wine in a can. That is the Nova 7 from Benjamin Bridge (in our care package to you)… just a convenient way to have it, if you are not having the whole bottle…lol. And the Propeller Lime lite lager- great for hot days- seems like you had a few of those. Hope you are on your way soon and thanks for being so normal…

[bklondondeliciousnesswit]

Oh no, what bad luck. Let’s hope this is the end of that unfortunate spell. Once you’re back on the road and some time has passed you’ll look back on this minor blip in your plans. Positive spirits and everything crossed back here in Europe for you🤞🏼😁

[Konsingamer]

Was soooo happy to see Neick catching his first fish lol i wont forget it either😊👍

[lifeatthefino]

I feel for you guys!!! There is nothing worse than car trouble on a trip.But it looks you made the best of it...good for you! Anyway, you can find electric converters at the travel section (suitcases) at walmart and use that for a fan, that should work. If not walmart any other store that sells elektronics or travel gear. We have one that we take to Belgium for our devices and it works great.

[travellingwithcrowsfeet]

Oh my goodness, what bad luck, we are sure it will sort itself out, bit hot though, and how nice was it for your subscribers to take you out on the boat 😀

[christine]

Umm, so much happening 😳 keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you two🤞 And sending best wishes🤗❤

[alimneimneh]

Hope you both are doing well, and your problems are now solved, long time no new post we need to hear your news!
