Hey bro, first off good luck! Second, just some suggestions for the series, and the trip. Black out that outward facing cardboard so you can stealth camp without people knowing you’re in there sleeping. The cardboard is a little obvious, and you might get run off. Lastly, I see you got some stubble going! We need a no shave before and after Alaskan beard!

That’s a great point with the cardboard. I’m going to do that today and grab some black poster board or something to glue to them. Thanks!

I can't adequately explain how excited I am for this. Road trips and Adventures like this are my passion and I've done many myself. I drove from PEI Canada to Vancouver Island BC. I did an on foot and train mission across a big part of western Europe. So these kinds of trips are 100% my thing. You'll have an incredible time man. Ive been a supporter of yours since you started trucking and ill be a fan through whatever you want to do. Good luck!!
