    Just the fact these guys welcomed you into their shop to spend the nights, and let you, the customer, get right in there with them doing the re-fit speaks volumes about what kind of people they are. Really awesome.
  • @sophiewombat
    Will and Buzz should start a youtube channel! They're fun to watch.
  • @gawebm
    This is a text book in how to create an engaging video. Every content creator out there could learn lessons from this video. You told a seamless, real, story with a beginning, some drama, a middle, interesting characters, relevant music, interesting camera angles, and an appropriate ending. All of which was done with a beautiful smile and a positive attitude. You have become a master of your art. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience, Eva.
  • @averagejoe845
    Eva, as an American I am so proud of how many good people you've met here. There is so much division now, but you are seeing the America I grew up in. People willing to help others, skilled people doing what they do best. My father could do so much working with his hands. He was an electrician by training, could do carpentry, rebuild cars, he even converted out coal furnace to use natural gas. Thanks to Eva and those Americans out there who work with their hands to make magic happen.
  • @Eugene-cm4ui
    Hi Eva! Great job! I would recommend you to buy a carbon monoxide and smoke sensor 2 in 1. So that when you sleep, you will be safe. Because there is a lot of electricity in the car and there may be a short circuit sometime. Its for your safety. Thanks.
  • I am not too proud to say I've been waiting all week to see how this turned out
  • @messybench
    Two things come to mind. 1 you can run a marathon so you can run whenever you like. No one will catch you. 2 when there's nothing else to do sweep the shop. Everything works better in a clean shop and you are less likely to slip and fall. I'm really excited about your journey. I even got a few of my friends to follow and cheer you on.
  • I‘m blown away by your bravery.. how do you start becoming a badass explorer like you? 🤯
  • @yknott9873
    The fridge may have issues in warm weather. Fridges work like a heat pump - they pump heat out of the interior and then radiate/convect it out through their outer skin. Your fridge being totally enclosed, must pump the heat out through the sides of its enclosure - and wood is a very good insulator. You might need a hook so you can drive with your cutting board up, to let the fridge and its enclosure breathe. Good luck!
  • I'd love to see a breakdown of how much everything costs. Not just on the Defender build, but the roadtrip life in general.
  • @PoojaShravan
    Dear Eva, Its an absolute joy to see you build or rather sincerely help ppl build stuff for your truck. We are couple of Engineers from India, but trust us, after having practiced 10 yrs of engineering, you still are miles ahead of us when it comes to practically BUILDING/REPAIRING things 😀😀. All jokes apart, We have massive amount of respect to what you are doing. It takes a lot of courage to live so freely and on your own terms. We take a lot of inspiration from you and try to exert our freedom in whatever way we can. Thanks to the likes of you, we had the courage to quit our cozy corporate jobs last week and take up a journey to discover this wild wild world. Lot of love from INDIA. More power to you. 🙂❤. PS: We are waiting to Mr.Vilk's appearance. We have 3 little rascals ourselves (2 felines and 1 canine) and totally relate to his Rascalness 😀😀.
  • @YeowooBBCVIP
    I love how you set up an amazing space for your adult dog. That's a thing I wondered about when you adopted him. Can't wait to see him grow :)
  • @jaycerd24
    Will and buzz are great people. I was very close to buying a van and having them build it! If I can make it work. They will be my go to!
  • it turned out so good. Love the fact they let you stay in the shop. How lucky to create such good friendships while on the road.
  • @DJ63phx
    I loved the way Odyssey turned out.
  • I seriously hope you do a meet and greet or something when you come back through! It would be so fun!
  • @KhanTigre
    Will & Buzz are two AMAZING builders. Odyssey looks readier than ever for a trip anywhere. If I ever go through the US, I know what pair of goofballs I'll ring for a TOP NOTCH build. Thank you so much for allowing us a peek into this inspiring adventure you're living. Also, that little hommage to montana on the back door, it's epic. Odyssey has so much personality it's a joy to see you enjoy her
  • @annduffy1356
    I love the changes you made, they are very uniquely yours which is perfect! As a mom, I’m glad you will be sleeping in your vehicle, it will be safer than transitioning outside with a larger Vilk! Happy travels!
  • @g_ann790
    Why do I get this feeling that Will fell in love with Eva! The way he looks at the polaroid! 😍
  • Massive thanks to Buzz and WIll (and everyone) that added their expertise to Odessey 2.0. It really is an amazing upgrade. Also, that they let you stay in their shop. That was amazing. Thank you. Now, learning to find all the things that you've put in new places. That is going to be an adjustment. Also,, Vilk is going to learn his new home, too. Thanks for sharing it with us.
