ExpeditionOverland: South America 2017 - Debuts 10/27/17

Nothing set in stone just yet, lots of options being floated. We will be doing a bunch of US events in 2018.

 

Watched episode 11 this morning. Looks like the most fun part so far.

 

Episode 11 is now on YouTube and marks the 2nd to last episode for this season. We do a super rare offroad crossing from Chile into Argentina that sees just a handful of vehicles each year. I hope you enjoy it!

Next week is the season finale and I hope to see some of you at the season finale party (1/20/18) here in SLC at Equipt Expedition Outfitters. The whole team will be there, looking forward to meeting all of the shows viewers, answering questions, etc. You can register and learn more here:

 

Hmm, somehow I missed E11 on Friday. My Friday routine has been to get home from work and watch EO but I must have deviated from that this week for some reason. Just realized I hadn't watched it yet, so I watched it now.

I'm amazed those remote border stations are even staffed... 5 vehicles a year? What's the point?

That was an interesting episode and I am looking forward to next week's season finale.

Kurt, you are a knowledgeable guy (wikikurtia?). It appears you have defacto "taken over" the crew and are running things - very efficiently and diligently, I might add.

 

Great question on the border and I really struggled with that too. The Chilean border even has a helicopter pad and nearby airstrip. I think much of the animosity between the two countries that still linger today is reaultsing from the Beagle Conflict: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beagle_conflict

Clay has taken a much different role by his own doing this year, more a producer role and more delegating. Everyone really stayed busy behind the scenes but the camera guys really worked the hardest as they were in and out filming stuff so much and it just seems to "happen" when you watch an episode.

 

How did I just find this thread? These videos are awesome. Need way more of these. Very inspiring

 

This episode marks the end of the road (figuratively and literally) for the Expedition Overland Season 3 and our PanAmerican Highway endeavor, having now traversed Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina. The ending in Ushuaia was bittersweet, while we accomplished what we had set out to do a year ago when we kicked off planning for the South America segment, we would also be closing the tents for the last time and loading the trucks into containers. Life was slipping past us back home and we all had family, work and other commitments to see to, return was necessary and a relief in it's own right. We had driven all of these miles unscathed and came out not only better friends but life long friends because of it. We learned so many things about the world around us, the people we encountered and most importantly ourselves.

Last nights season wrap party at Equipt here in SLC was humbling and overwhelming yet provided some amazing fulfillment knowing that viewers are finding inspiration on our story and using it as an impetus to plan their own adventures. That was so encouraging to hear firsthand and I thank all of you that shared those stories with us. I'd like to thank everyone that had a part in this adventure, the entire XO team and staff, our families (my wife Candace is an absolute rockstar), the sponsors that make it all feasible and most importantly the viewers for making all the effort worth it.

Thanks for watching everyone!
