I love this one Amigo. your life has been lived well😃
Bigfoot country, love it! The Marble Mountains must be full of them and assuming their dry-adapted cousins live in the Sierras!
Your Snow White animal friends call isn't quite as effective as Snow White's… that said it's still likely better than your empty cave "hello" call
Superb 💞💞💞
💚💚💚
car travel… bring title😊✌love Cali.
Very nice voice 👍👍👍
Great intro bro ❤

Great intro Gabe ! 😊❤🇧🇦🗻🏔⛰
Have you ever given some thought about completing the " World Famous West Coast Trail " in – Vancouver Island, BC
So many stressed trees there barely hanging on.
Although I'm 10 years older than you, I grew up in NorCal and did similar goofy stuff in the same general areas.
Your stories are pretty nostalgic for me. Thanks
Thank You Gabriel 💙❤👍🇨🇦
Weinhard's ….blast from the High School/College past > so no bottling # on the root beers?
1 thing you never hear in the same breath…."he's a Mechanic & probably trustworthy" 😜
Story's by Gabe…sign me up ✅
Love the fun vibe at the start….. 😂Keep up entertaining and informing uss with your adventures…
Hi from Calgary!
Have you ever met up with a bear on your hikes in the mountains?
Same as down under, the camp grounds online say they are all booked out, but once you arrive there are plenty of spots available
Thank you so much 💙💙💙
Many school districts have already started the new school year meaning summer vacation is over for many. This might be why there are a lot of campgrounds available.
Gabe Traveler, can you please tell us some tales about creepy Sasquatch sightings?
Good for you chancing keeping stuff un-refrigerated. I don't reckon I could.
07:45 — Deer in Nara Japan are almost just as tame. Clever, them!
Gabe – The thumbnail makes you look like Gandhi.
I would imagine ' some of ' the tourism is down due to the tariff's applied to Canadians. Canadians aren't goin down south like they use to!
I watched the original version of this story when you first posted it! One of my favourite series.
So not 'The Full Story'….just the first part.
Great opening…….!!!!! PS I live 2 minutes from Janis Joplins parents old home.
💛💛💛
I remember that great story, thank you. Cheers Gabe I'm still here.
Occasionally when I'm watching your videos, Suri, on my phone, hears your voice, which apparently is similar to mine, and starts to do random searches or makes phone calls, pretty funny.
old stories. you need to start traveling ASAP
Can't wait for Part 2! 😁
This is a great story. Also why it's so important to learn how to maintain your own vehicles. They are just adult Legos
Gabe's back on the root beers!
Great stories, great videos as always gabriel! 👍
You should bring GALLONS of water when camping in August.
👍👍👍
Total nightmare Gabe. The guy in the wild bus:(
Glad that hike worked out for you what with the truck breakdown.
Great to see your travels reign supreme through everything.

The ultimate traveler make a movie about you
You should write a book about your adventures.
Hi Gabriel, you open with 'Oh Lord, buy me a Mercedes Benz,' which ranks up there with the song 'Plastic Jesus'-two classics. The stories with the truck in the middle of nowhere are always terrifying stories for those who worry about getting stuck in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. I wanted to ask you if that root beer was with or without sarsaparilla. I remember you drinking some sarsaparilla in Nevada, in some bar there.
