  1. The sound thing was amazing sshh , your not old dud your stating out mmmmm hi DAD got 20 bucks loll , now a difrent sound amazing wind Brocaly and Mushrooms Veg stock cub i would live on that for coupple of days get lucky a bit off locak cream .

  2. "Valley of the Moon" is a song by Turnover from their last album. I had no idea it was a real place. I love that song and the Valley of the Moon looks amazing. How meta would it be to listen to "Valley of the Moon" in the Valley of Moon? #goals

  3. San Pedro de Atacama, Valle de Luna, Chuquicamata……locations of some of my fondest memories. And if you haven't done it already, make sure that you drive at least 50 km into the desert, away from all man-made lights, on the night of a new moon. You will see the starry night of your lifetime, I promise. Dry air, lack of man-made lights and elevation is why there are multiple observatories on the mountains of the Atacama.

  4. The phenomenon that you guys experienced is called “inverno andino” or “invierno boliviano” it happens around the summer in locations close to Cordillera de los Andes and it includes storms, rain, wind, etc. It’s not always like that in San Pedro, usually it’s quite sunny with the clearest skies, anyway it’s an amazing and breath taking place. Hope you have a nice trip! greetings from Antofagasta, Chile 🙂

  5. Hey Trent, you need bungie cords for your basket. It needs to have 'give' when you hit those bumps. Otherwise the 'tight' fit of the the zip ties, causes the issue of snapping, and then results in your small crisis of 'basket drop off'. Same principal as airplane wings. They go straight thru the plane as one piece. When they hit turbulance or are effected by air pressure, they bend up and down, not snap off. Try it (bungie cords) good luck!

  6. Technically (Yeah, I'm going to be THAT guy today), the Atacama Desert is NOT the driest desert in the world, it's the driest NON-POLAR desert in the world. The driest place on Earth is in Antarctica in an area called the Dry Valleys, which has seen no rain for nearly 2 million years (now THAT'S a desert). There is absolutely no precipitation in this region and it makes up a 4800 square kilometer region of almost no water, ice or snow.

  7. Hi guys! I am a new subscriber and I really look forward to your travels. I especially like how chill y’all narrate your videos. Pet for Frank! Later.

  8. Hey Trent, how does the motorcycle handle altitude? Is it carbureted or does it have fuel injection? If it has a carb, do you mess with jetting when changing altitudes? Thanks, love y'all's videos!

  9. I love your channel. So excited when a new video is out. I am particularly loving this section of SA – I am heading to Patagonia for Easter and then heading north so loving seeing where you go…. Thank you for such a great VLOG

  10. I just binge watched the last week. I'm glad I watched the last two first because I would have been worried about Frank all week. So glad he is okay, poor baby? that must have really hurt. He's a healthy dog to be able to heal like that. Give him some lovin for me.?? the floating islands were cool. The rock climbing made my fingers tingle. Frank chasing the seagulls was even better the second time knowing he had hurt his foot the week before. The hand was cool. Your camera must be a good one because we could hear you perfectly in the wind. Is it just me or does your new drone go a lot higher and further out than it used too. Anyway the drone shots have been amazing. The last sunset was really beautiful. Poor Allie eating that spicy chicken while you Trent were sitting there all smug with that s#!+ eating grin on your face was funny.? Oh, and by the way, what did the boarder people miss finding in the van???Love y'all!???

  11. Actually Trent, tomatoes are not that healthy. They are full of lectins, that can cause a leaky gut, and give you internal infections. Actually the vegetable with the most lectins.

  12. Did you get a chance to check out the nighttime sky? Supposedly, it's one of the best places in the world to view the Universe… hence so many international Observatories nearby.

  13. A friend of mine just got done doing some quick motorcycle touring through parts of Argentina and Chile. He was showing me pictures and video and I was like "WAIT, I KNOW THAT TOWN." He was there on what may actually have been the same day, and also got caught up in the rain. Small world. Totally have to go see this place for myself now!

  14. I've been following Itchy Boots since India. She's been clear to the tip of South America and is up around your area now. She's taking a break. The route she has used has sometimes taken her to 15,000 feet or more. Be Safe.

  15. Would really like it if you guys threw up a map with your location marked. I’m a geezer woman traveling alone in a 1972 Airstream and I look forward to your videos in the evening. Absolutely the best channel on YouTube. Love you guys.

  16. Thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure with us! So glad Frank’s foot is feeling better, sending him a big hug ❤️

  17. Here's a positive spin on your rain. The average annual rainfall is 0.6". Some places there haven't had rain for 4 year long stretches. SOME stations have NEVER received any rain. How many non-residents can claim they've been in the Atacama when it was raining? You can! _;o)__

  18. French pastries- Trent, there is no French pastry like the Mexican French pastry. Just sayn’… great vlog. Awesome photography. Thank you for today’s Lesson.
    What an awesome place.
    See you in few days. Love you guys
