Being polite and gracious and humble and making people smile.....it goes a LONG way. Thanks Mav!

The interaction between Mav and the guy showing him how to Fish in ice was nice to see. We all know that Mav knows how to fish under the ice, and as the fisherman was showing him, Mav didn't interrupt him and instead listens as if it was his first time. That's respect.

That's awesome to see how naturally genuine and kind Japanese people are.Didnt't even hesitate to give you some Venison and handed it to you like you already paid for it but was free, shows how genuine and down to earth you are too Mav. By far the most genuine video i've seen on youtube in a LONG time. Loved it! and cracked me up when you realised you brought a rock lmao

Maverick...."Ah yes! Top Gun!!" Lolol Mav is such a special dude. He makes America look good....and God knows we need it!! Big hugs!

Gotta love the interactions Mav has with the local people.

The language might be a barrier but everyone understands a genuine smile. It's been wonderful watching this.

The perks of it being so thin is how fast it cooks. Looks delicious!!! 🔥

The people of Japan seem so kind and welcoming. Thank you for being a good representation of the US. I have really enjoyed all of these vlogs!

Thank god another post

Mav, you represent the very best of the US, the Midwest, and humanity. So happy to see you anywhere in the world, experiencing the food, the culture, the fishing, and the people. ❤❤

I think that day in Japan was the coldest day of the year. Unbelievable 😂 you're crazy 😂

So impressed with you Mav! As a 2nd Gen Japanese, I am astounded by your fearless Japanese driving, eating and camping. Keep this up! You will soon conquer all the continents of the world!

I love Mav’s videos. There’s something so relaxing about them.

I started cracking up when the butcher referenced your name to top gun lol moments like these are wholesome af lol

Love how you can interact with the various people of Japan , they seem to be so accommodating, generous very friendly people , I am loving this series you have visited some pretty cool places , it looks like a beautiful country , You are truly blessed to be able to travel there and explore a few areas .

My favorite episode easy. I love when different cultures interact with patients and grace. Wish it was like that in Chicago. Everyone is skeptical of Everyone

Mav's charisma really lets him be able to make friends with literally anyone!

My son lives in Japan, and I travel there often. It has been so much fun watching you enjoying camping and traveling across that great country. I will be sad when you aren’t there anymore, even though I love your videos in America these videos in Japan have been a real treat❤ I absolutely love your sense of adventure, and the fact that you were not afraid to go there alone, do your best to communicate with the people there, take on driving on the opposite side of the road in a foreign country, but most of all figure out how to go camping there. You’re humble and kind and its always fun watching you, I love that you haven’t been afraid to try and pronounce many Japanese words, but you have given me a few giggles during these videos. Keep on putting yourself out there and trying your best to speak the language, the people there love it when foreigners go to all the trouble to learn even a few words in their language❤

Mav you deserve it !! we Love where you take us, your memories with friends , your travels around the globe and your humble kind spirit that interacts with everyone. "You are A Top Gun " like the guy said, Love the series TFS.

i love how mav just Listening the man who's teaching him how to fish! we all know that mav knows exactly how to fish under the ice! but he didn't say anything back he just listening to the guy! Respects bro!

In the fast paced world we live in today, it's always nice to slow down for 20 minutes to watch fishing and cooking adventures with Mav.

That moment the butcher said "Top Gun" in reaction to your name was priceless.

SEEING THOSE FLAMES SHOOT UP FROM GAVE ME PTSD FLASHBACKS FROM THAT INCIDENT WITH THE PROPANE STOVE 😂😂😂

I love how even though they don't speak the same language, both just showed each other kindness and connected with something they both enjoy. You don't see that much in today's world

So cool how u interact w people across the world w respect and intrigue for their culture, ways and language. The way that butcher or store owner (not sure what one) reacted, shows that he appreciated u and recognized your genuineness. Wish the world had more of this. Def would be less hate in the world.

I love the image of Mav returning the rental car and it just smells like steak and venison inside of it lmao

That Top Gun reference made me smile! Love what you do Mav!

It is truly a blessing to see though your observations. Mav you're an inspiration for anyone with eyes to see. Stay blessed brother.

Love seeing you just enjoy life in japan mav, especially with how much your learning!

I just love how down to earth you are. The gratitude is so genuine

That butcher/sledder was such a cool guy, hope he’s watching!

I've heard a lot of great things about the hospitality and generosity of the Japanese. This series, along with other things I've watched and the few Japanese people I've met, have all proven true. Sadly, in this life, I'll never get to visit, but here's to hoping my next life brings me to the places I've always wanted to see.

you know its gonna be a good day when mav posts

Don't know how to explain this but your channel is a such a breath of fresh air to me man. I used to love traveling and hiking with my family. Being in college has put the biggest rut in that for the past 4 years. Want to get back to this type of life again.

Wild adventure. The mountain sled setup in the van was wild. Sweet vid, moment of silence for the Land Cruiser headliner.

Stay save, Mav. I enjoy your videos because of your introspection and adventurous nature. 😁

Mavs videos always come at a good time! He also is just a good guy 👌🏽

That butcher was beyond chill. Absolute legend

Thanks Mav, for this wonderful adventure. You're a joy to watch interact with others. You make friends out of everyone you meet. When I lived in Germany, if you tried to communicate with people in their language, they appreciated your efforts. It really doesn't take a lot to be gracious when visiting another country. You just embody the word gracious.

I always look forward to Mav's videos. Definitely living the life. I definitely want to drive/travel similarly to him one day

Thanks for keeping your videos simple and raw without over editing and filled with ads. Thats why i enjoy your videos.

Japan is still my number one spot to go visit. Amazing scenery and everything. Most beautiful country.

Hey Maverick, what an amazing video you always meet such kind and amazing people on your trips. Thanks for taking us along to place. Most of us will never get to see so much fun you be safe out there and stay warm. ♥️✌️🙏👍🙂

You have an amazing gift for being at "home" no matter where you are. Having this channel is your calling my friend. Thx for taking us along with you. Safe travels! 🙏 ❤️

I am never this early, but this is the best thing to see on a Sunday night. While I miss when you would post more, I still appreciate the work you put into your videos now as your channel has grown. Thank you for helping with my Sunday Scaries Mav!

Once again, I couldn't explain to someone while I like watching this, I just do. You're awesome man

Thanks for sharing yr journey👍. Enjoy all you can that you have Ben blessed with❤️

A week was WAY too long to wait for another video from this Japan trip. Get it together Mav, those of us who are living vicariously through your videos need more content! Seriously though, enjoying this content bro.

Come on mav you should of known a little stove couldn't fit in that box haha.

When you said you "bought a rock", that was hilarious. Reminds me of Charlie Brown where he says "I got a Rock", on the Halloween episode.

love how you connect with ppl on your adventures....

Showing off your respect letting that man teach you how to ice fish ✌🏻

Man, I’m glad I stumbled upon this channel. Killing it with the uploads! keep ‘em coming! 😁👌🏽 also would love to see another Steve Wallis collab!

always knew japan / japanese people were awesome but this series confirms it. i will have to do this next year same time of the year and go see snowy japan for myself. will give me time to learn a little bit of the language. amazing videos as always!

Mav, long time viewer here. You have had dreams throughout the years. Better truck setup, different vehicles, exotic locations... If anyone has been trucking, it's you. Keep on trucking friend. We're all proud of what you are accomplishing and the feats you will be accomplishing. Next year, around take a kid fishing day in Feb, come to Smith lake near Alexandria, Minnesota for a charity ice fishing contest. I'll have a ticket waiting for you if you're in Minnesota 😁

You’re such a genuine dude. I love watching your videos because of all of your interactions with people and just how cool and nice you are. Obviously the aspect of the video is great but the creator is why we stay

ive been watching you before you build your track and man your come along way im super proud of you Mav

That long breath and your extended arms is me everytime something sketchy happens on the road lol glad you’re safe

Puts a smile on my face on how Mav interacts with people. Food looked delicious.

Man Mavs videos are literally what I look forward to watching on KZfaq. Forsure my favorite channel.

Mav, thanks for taking us to Japan with you!

I❤️ MAV The thing I have enjoyed about this trip is the giggles....it seems so many interactions have giggles ✨

Your Shows are now seen on our Chicago cable system again 👍

MAV, great video. Love your positive character. This Japan trip is turning into one of your best. 🎉😄

Mav…are you a genius or what? You’re in Japan navigating your vehicle all over the place, dealing with a difficult language, and currency, but doing the recreational things that you love to do! We’re not even talking about the cooking factor, and of course the Wagu steak. You’re more a native and so adaptive to any type of situation. Bravo to you. Taking us along to share this great adventure along with you! Enjoying every moment of your trip. Kudos to you!

everyone he has met is so nice. I love these vids so much. They also have inspired me to back packing and camping more. thank you so much Mav

Man when he said my name is Maverick and the gentleman said Top Gun… loved that

that truck's never going to smell the same again 😂

Mav... All im gonna say is.. 2.3m!!! Watched you for a long time well deserved hope the growth continues!

Mav does it again. A little simple video like this makes my day. Must be nice being able to do what you want. Japan seems like an awesome experience.

"Maverick...ohhOHHHHH TOP GUN!" love that moment :D

Your videos always inspire me keep on truckin mav ❤❤

MAV, hat's off to your folks. You are an intelligent,kind and confident young man. Looking forward to the next video. Miss Annie

What a majestic place, with a interesting amount of history.

You're such a decent young man, no wonder people respond in kind. Looks like a wonderful trip.

You know it’s going to be a good night when mav uploads

You make friends everywhere you go mad such a genuine person dude 👌 love to see when everyone’s nice to you to like 😂😂

Glad you are out there doing what I can't. Enjoy and safe travels 💕

Mav I'm loving this Japan series!!!😄

Just the mere fact that Mav is cooking / eating in an awkward position already deserves a like and subscription!

My mouth was watering watching you eat that A-4. It makes me long for the paté they sold at my grandma's butcher shop in Germany. Thanks for sharing!

Anyone else a nervous wreck watching Mav cook and cut meat on the nice leather in the back of that sweet Land Cruiser 😅😮

the guy from the car rental place is absolutely devastated watching you cook beef in the whip with no protection for the mats haha

I think your videos are great, very informative. I feel like I am riding shotgun on these adventures!!!

You got a strong stomach to eat fish that wasn't gutted!!!! I respect your O.G. stomach power!!!!!

The smell in all the truck inside for the sleep time was...amazing 🤣🤣

The cooking videos always make me so hungry 😭

I’ve loved this series. So cool to see these people in Japan living well (owning snowmobiles) and what not. Great job mav

I am glad you felt welcomed in Japan. Thank sharing your meals and great attitude!

I love how well Mav represents the United States in Japan. These are the interactions I love to see from Americans in foreign countries.

You are always putting a smile to my face. You’re so humble so polite so grateful, really inspiring. And al the conversations you’re having with the locals just makes me happy ❤️

The way Mav approach people is so humbling even though he just met them for the first time and that’s what I love about him ❤️ Good Luck to you Mav and have a Safe Travel

You are making boss moves now. You have everything going for you. Your videos are good to watch. You are a very smart person people can learn a lot from you.

That interaction with the butcher shop people was awesome!! What an awesome place.

It's fun watching you doing all of this, it's truly a unique series of videos, And I'm happy to see how much fun you're having mav. :)

So by Mav explaining to us that “wagyu” stands for “Japanese cow”, him defining that he was most excited about eating the Japanese A4 wagyu steak essentially translates to him being excited about eating a Japanese A4 Japanese cow steak. I absolutely love it how we English speaking folk translate different languages to our own

I remember when I was small my Grandpa went smelt dipping and we at smelt for months. It was such a cool experience for my little self. FYI, we have a chain of restaurants in MI called Black Rock, they bring you your beef of choice and a hot rock to your table and you cook your own meat.

Oh Mav that sun set was definitely awesome to see for sure!!!!

It as so nice seeing you enjoying in japan Mav. I live here japan for about a year now and im enjoying so far. I heard you said arigatoma for thank you so much but its actually arigatogozaimashita. and when you wanna say thank you for your help, taskarimashita. Im your biggest fan!

Loving this series Mav. Thanks for the great content as usual.
