I'm pretty, pretty sure the longest driveable distance is between my home and my workplace on a Monday morning…
Telling everything in imperial units makes absolutely no sense anywhere in the world except the United States of America. The developed world is completely metric!
I think we are looking for two points between which we could drive and the shortest route between them is longer than any other shortest route between any two points.
The longest route by this definition is from Aldan river ferry in Russia to Cape Town and it is 21,300 km.
We cannot intentionally choose longer route as was done in video. By that definition the longest drivable distance could be from my home to my work if I took it through China. Or driving around block a billion times.
We have roundabouts, you can drive endless there. 😉
It's such a LONG LONG time for me since the last time I open YouTube, and this is the type of content I always missed. The quality and effort the YouTubers put on editing, research, voice dubbing, and the content quality itself is something I don't find in other platforms such as Tiktok. It makes me guilty replaced my daily YouTube watch to low-quality Tiktok contents. I think I'll be watching YouTube more from now on.
Great content, Map Pack. Keep it up!! I'm your new subscriber.
3 minutes in and already factually inaccurate. Hopefully it improves. Okay, acknowledged the gap but i wish people would stop introducing it as uninterupted only to later go "except for this bit" be correct from the start please
America is the 3rd largest by land mass. China is only the 3rd largest if it cheats.
The longest drivable distance is going to every single house in Afro-Eurasia.
You really should work on your pronunciation when naming places. Its pretty bad bro
I love San Antonio texas
I drove a truck and personal mileage over 3,000,000 miles so far in my life of 61 years
Alaskan here. There is not snow and ice year round here, even up in Prudhoe Bay (which is inaccessible to civilians unless you have special permission; it does happen but don't expect to just show up, realistically you won't be able to cross from Deadhorse into Prudhoe) Summer in the interior regularly gets into the 80s, and often the 90s. It hit 100 degrees in Fort Yukon in 1915. I've enjoyed a few of your videos, and it's hard to get everything right when you're doing such broad things.
Melbourne is said like Mel bin, I live near highway 1 in Australia lol if u use gps it says turn onto national highway 1
From what I understand the ferry around the Darien gap is no longer in service. It closed down in 2018. So it’s been gone for awhile. So really there is no way to get around that without going thru it. The ferry company actually went bankrupt if I’m not mistaken, they just didn’t get enough passengers to make it work.
In June 2001, I cycled from my home in Stoke on Trent in England to Singapore. It took a year and was 22,850kms via Siberia, Mongolia, and China. However, I had to take a ferry from Dover to Calais. I like your video, but it is autocentric!
The longest drivable distance is to drive through every single road in Afro-Eurasia, making sure you don't redrive the road since redriving the same road wouldn't count
Great video but a thumb down for all the political bs you add in about Russia.
While it’s true that Antarctica 🇦🇶 has no paved roads (permafrost thawing and refreezing would thwart that, as it does in the Arctic), that doesn’t mean that Antarctica has no roads. Ever heard of the South Pole Traverse? It’s a road that spans from McMurdo Station to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. It’s built over snow and ice and is mainly used as a supply route to haul cargo items that are too big to fit in a cargo plane. Plus, it’s less expensive to use this route than flying. Might be a fun topic for a future video.
Someone needs to put in the work to talk about other factors such as likelihood to encounter lawless areas, war zones, restricted areas, corruption, and known passport and visa restrictions. Many of these border crossings are impossible with any single passport. Some can only be crossed by special diplomats or drivers with special permission.
You can't drive directly to Ushuaia it's on an island so a ferry trip is needed 😄 And why did your route stop in Istanbul? There is a bridge (several bridges and tunnels!) over Bosporos 😁
3:28 That is not true if you go in June on Summer Solstice there is rarely any snow on the ground in Prudhoe Bay. If you go the Day before you can stop in Fairbanks and watch the Goldpanners Midnight Sun Baseball game that starts at Midnight and is played with Zero lights on.
The British Trans-Americas Expedition from Anchorage, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego between December 1971 and August 1972. The expedition was led by well-known explorer John Blashford-Snell. The route was along the 18,000 miles long Pan-American Highway including the crossing of the infamous Darien Gap, an all but impassable section of rain forest, rivers and swamp some 250 miles in length.
The Darien Gap is not dangerous because of the conditions, hell even children pass through it every day, you don't need to be an expert outdoorsman. It dangerous because it controlled by dangerous people.
Way too much irrelevant rambling. Stick to the issue of the video. If you want to cover other issues then make a different video
You also could start in Spain and go to east Russia before getting on the trip you say is the longest. Therefore being even further
stop talking trash about Russia
What's the big deal about driving in your 80s? There's a lot of people who are just fine at that age.
counting ferries, you could make it to Australia.
