I'm a sucker for these kind of videos.

Guys making long journeys on vehicles that are hilariously unfit for the task.

This guy bought this mini-jeep go-cart thing from China and drove it across Utah.


And these guys decided to recreate the journey from dumb and dumber where 2 grown men rode that mini bike to Aspen.
 
would have loved to have done that when i was younger. maybe when i'm older and don't have shit to do.
 
I always start a journey, and end up having it become unexpectedly difficult.


On Christmas Eve in 2022 in the UP of Michigan it snowed ~24" in 24 hours. My Dad and I thought we could sneak out on snowmobile, and be the first to tear-up this fresh powdery winter wonderland before anyone else. Well......with some drifting and such, it ended up 5+ feet of powder in certain spots....and we were on short track small paddle snowmobiles. Needless to say when we came back to our cabin, like 6 hours later having gotten repeatedly stuck, and then stuck again, and then really stuck........it was a less than stellar Christmas.

The year before, I did the same thing but ran out of gas since a few old school gas stations were closed and they didn't have the pumps on. Dohhh.....

But at the same time I bet you wouldn't trade those memories in right? :) - You can always think back and talk and laugh about that with your dad now.
 
Haha awesome. I sort of did a journey like this albeit not as extreme. Drove a small 115 cc motorbike 14 hours to a mountain village in Vietnam while everybody else who does kind of trip gets a big 400-500cc off-road motorcycle decked out in proper motorcycle gear and helmet. I did in a t shirt and shorts and the flimsy plastic caps they give you at rental shops lol. All the other tourists riding through Vietnam were shocked when they saw my tiny little Yahama haha. That little thing did its job though and got me through mountains and dirt roads through rain and scorching tropical weather.
 
Here's another one that's more heartwarming than funny.

In 1994, an old man named Alvin Straight heard his estranged brother had a stroke, so he decided he needed to go make peace with his brother before it's too late. The problem is his brother lived hundreds of miles away and Alvin couldn't get a driver's license due to some physical ailments. So he drove a lawn mower the entire way.

David Lynch made a movie about him:

I was reading about this on Wikipedia recently. The actor had cancer and decided to self-pwn a few years later. He was actually dealing with the cancer while filming.

Planned to go on wilderness survival course which was in north far away (think i signed up when i was drunk)

Arriving in north eating at mcdonalds, decided i dont want to spend a week eating flowers and grass and being in wild without gear

Finished meal jumped back into train

In short: being a retard (no regrets though)
