They asked me to turn around. But don’t worry, I finally got in after my first attempt! You probably won’t guess why they asked me to turn around the first time! I reached Colorado after 3 days of driving. On my arrival, my friends Dillon and Julie had planned a full Thanksgiving’s weekend for me in New Mexico. On the menu: hot springs, shooting competitions and a full feast in the van.
A good opportunity to remember what friends are for!

WHO ARE YOU? WHAT’S WITH YOUR ACCENT?
We're Dom & Marie, a French Canadian couple who love Nutella toast and live in a van. Marie is the brain (Ph.D student) and Dom's the dreamer (Creative director). We have spent the last 2 years travelling around North America in our Promaster 136'' named Vanessa. In 2020, after a 12-month trip that was cut short because of Covid, we decided to sell our van to start a new project: a BIGGER van.
Our goal is to inspire others to start #vanlife​​ and to help build their very own home on wheels while living and enjoying a balanced online and offline life.

Oh man I am reminded of the time in the early 90s, before van life was cool, I was entering the US (Maine) from Canada in July 4th, our Independence Day. I was asked to leave my van and being young and scared, I did as I was told. They searched my vehicle, read my journal, and detained me for at least an hour. Did I mention I was wearing a tank top and cutoff shorts, had long blonde hair and California license plates? Border patrol agents can be real cul-holes. Another great vid, thanks for taking us along. 💛

I can’t help but think that you and Marie are meant to be together. Do whatever it takes to make it work. Your kind of love doesn’t come along every day. There are always bumps along the road in any relationship…some are worth fighting for…and compromising for. I don’t pretend to know your issues…but surely they are not insurmountable. No one person can meet all of our needs. I am praying for a future that is better for your stepping back a bit before reuniting. I’m rooting for you two. Needless to say, we love you, Dom, but really miss Marie, but not more than you do I am sure. Stay hopeful!

Same thing for firewood even within Ontario. It's to prevent the spread of things like the Emerald Ash Bore from one area that has it to another area that doesn't have it. There are signs along Highway 7 between Ottawa and Peterborough telling you not to bring Firewood from outside the area.

Yeah cord wood contains bugs, and disease. And many unique ecosystems in the US have been ravaged by people traveling from areas with a natural balance with those pests, but the new place has none. In Vermont, all our evergreen trees are being ravaged by a beetle. This one got imported from Asia, but it can happen from cord wood brought from southern and western states as well. Whole forests are dying from this beetle. And that creates standing dead, which is a huge fire hazard. We could be California in the years to come, especially since no one is doing any controlled burning. So, while the border patrol scoffed at the law, it’s an important effort to protect the wild places the US is famous for. For instance, an invasive plant was brought in to the US somehow. It has a radical growth rate, so radical, all native species are killed with a few years. The only way to control it is to mow the lakes. It gets spread even by the tiniest of leaf particles stuck to boats. So the government is trying to educate people and get them to not bring any boat that’s been in contaminated lakes to in contaminated ones, and not store such boats together either. Such infestations has more than environmental impacts. It can destroy fisheries, and tourism and losing those effects whole communities. The global economy can be quite hazardous to the environment. It’s important that travelers educate themselves while they travel so can protect the environments they came to visit. I hope you are having lots of fun!

Sooooo many diseases are brought to the US through these vectors. So, for those feeling like the US is wasteful, there's a very serious reason for them. Vegetations in the US are being killed by foreign disease vectors, Vegetations and huma forms as well. Health inspections are very important in all aspects.

As a US citizen, I had no idea I couldn't travel more than 50 miles with wood. I know there are restrictions on bringing produce state to state. I apologize for our a$$ hole border patrol. That guy was a jerk. I'm glad you had a nice US Thanksgiving with friends. ✌❤🎶🙋‍♀️

🖐STOP🤚- Before watching the video to the end, try to guess what was in my van that you ABSOLUTELY CAN'T travel with in the United States. Hint hint: they were not guns of any kind. AND you still need strict certification for it. The winner wins what was in my back box.

As a Canadian who has lived half of my life in the usa, (30 years), do you know how fortunate you are that they didnt know the cam was on? I have crossed Canada's borders all my life since I live one mile between our 2 borders. =The Border Patrol have more authority than the Police do. You could of been added to Canada's Watch List. Just a respectful FYI. If one Border Patrol Guards decide they dont trust you; it may take days to get released.

YeH, you are right. However, my dash cam records everything 100% of the time for insurance purposes, front and back. I guess they would’ve asked me to turn it off.

I once traveled from Germany to Australia and I had to let a dog sniff my luggage for fruit, because you weren't alllowed to bring fruit into Australia. They had a plague of fruit flies over there. The dog that sniffed my luggage got the smell of artificial fruit in candy for the real thing and hinted at it. But once it was clear why he did it, I was allowed to enter the plane ^^.

Way back in the 70s, my now deceased grandmother was sooooo proud of herself for smuggling a huge lemon home from her hometown in Italy. She was going to plant the seeds here and grow a tree. She was a good sport and laughed when she cut it open and saw it was seedless. (I don’t know why she didn’t just bring home seeds. I was in single digits and didn’t think to ask.)

It was treated wood with the strings and labels still on it. He wanted the « certification » which I never heard of.

Glad you made it to the U.S. & had a nice Thanksgiving with your friends, but you should of forgot about the last segment of the video when you say JC you are a very lucky, well to do person & that's not cool!!! People don't say that, especially when something good happens... Good Luck
@vanlifesagas

It’s very common in America, too, just like you described it. It only offends a handful of people, usually those more religious. A lot of people even say J F’n C. I’m not trying to disrespect Debby. Just to give you a more accurate idea. Ask your friends in person and see what they say. :)
