Overlanding Nightmare in Mexico

Join Chris, Sara, and their trusty companion Kramer on their overlanding journey along the Pan American Highway from the USA to Argentina. In this episode, they face mechanical challenges as their journey through steep and rainy mountains of Oaxaca leads to a brake failure scare and a fuel injector issue. After backtracking due to a broken bridge, they find a mechanic who diagnoses the problem, and they spend the night at a workshop. Their determination and the kindness of strangers help them persevere through these setbacks as they continue their adventure towards Belize. Follow their journey for behind-the-scenes content and insights from their travels. ⏰Timestamps ⏰ 00:00 Unexpected Roadside Trouble 01:02 Introducing the Journey and the Team 01:26 Planning the Route to Bacalar 03:56 Challenges on the Road 06:28 Brake Issues and a Helpful Mechanic 08:41 A Day of Setbacks 11:05 Fuel Injector Problems 14:14 Finding the Right Mechanic 18:37 Temporary Solutions and Waiting 23:30 Gratitude and Moving Forward 23:57 Stay Connected for More Adventures 🔎 Shop Our Favorites 🔎 📷 Photo & Video Gear 📷 ⊹ Vlogging camera: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1577838-REG/sony_ilce7sm3_b_alpha_a7s_iii_mirrorless.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1481189/SID/DFF ⊹ Wide lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1784822-REG/sony_fe_16_35mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1280353/SID/DFF ⊹ Daily zoom lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1702384-REG/sony_fe_24_70mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1173401/SID/DFF ⊹ Telephoto lens: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1666363-REG/sony_fe_70_200mm_f_2_8_gm.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1140502/SID/DFF ⊹ Vlogging microphone: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1711447-REG/sony_ecm_b10_camera_mount_digital_shotgun.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1181147/SID/DFF ⊹ Tripod: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1495135-REG/peak_design_tt_cb_5_150_al_1_aluminum_travel_tripod.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x977480/SID/DFF ⊹ Drone: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1870055-REG/dji_cp_ma_00000813_01_mini_4_pro_camera.html/BI/21846/KBID/28214/DFF/d10-v21-t1-x1688380/SID/DFF 🚐 Overlanding Gear 🚐 ⊹ GPS system: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/4Y7WnY7wMO ⊹ SOS device: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/6vA5CybBsp ⊹ Coffee maker: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/MoAv3eXVCB ⊹ Pots and pans: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/kToUdlsNeE ⊹ Headlamp: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/MNOJ54IUYi ⊹ Camp chairs: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/c8VxlLwgVd ⊹ Travel duffles: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/Zs4f6Licg5 ⊹ Packing cubes: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/7Z6UztzZCm ⊹ Down blanket: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/NSdtQ7s27N 🐶 Kramer’s Go-To Gear 🐶 ⊹ Backpack: https://app.rockporch.com/prdlink/RCTnyatdnA ⊹ Bike trailer: https://rei.rockporch.com/prdlink/IHPEcnWezb ⊹ Cooling vest: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/dHAaKTsxZ4 ⊹ Rain jacket: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/BJtRsg4lms ⊹ Harness: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/rNvXBWXQYw ⊹ Leash: https://backcountry.rockporch.com/prdlink/gEEUSEHHmc ✈️ Flight Deals ✈️ We find the best flight deals using @Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights).
