  1. Wow, that was cool. I loved seeing a female engineer. She handled that train like a pro.

  2. That was a cool adventure and being able to get to ride in the locomotive was great. I agree with your sister; the steam whistle is the best. It was wonderful to watch that young women handle that old steam engine so well. My hats off to her!! I just watched a documentary on a really fabulous train journey in Africa. The line is called Rovos Rail. It is luxury accommodations on restored carriage cars. The food is top notch as well. The locomotives are loving all restored. My husband came across this documentary when he was channel surfing and I watched it with him. It was so interesting. I thought about you as we were watching. I thought this would be an awesome trip for you to do on your channel when this COVID Pandemic is under control (hopefully). I would love to do this; but, I think the cost might be out of our price range. I can't figure out the cost from their website. It is most likely in African money value. Here is the 1st part of 6 parts of info on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R2u5MA7yIA

  3. This was definitely a challenging adventure. You were so wonderful to help the newbies. So, great to see with perseverance; you made it through! I have so enjoyed this series; I hate to see it come to an end. We'd love to see more of you Nichole; you are a great travel companion.

  4.  @rustyshackleford3263  Typical male chauvinistic response. The young women did what she needed to do and got the job done. And, she did it very quickly. I admire her for her guts and fortitude.

  5. That was so beautiful; what a town. They preserved something so special; an important part of their history. What is incredible is how well that old technology works with dedicated volunteers. They should videotape Charlie doing repairs; so, they know how to keep this special piece of history running. You are so right, about the younger generation learning from them and applying their attitude to how to have a successful life, a successful town and a successful society. It is so relevant. Another great video Mike and sister, Jess.

  6. Still need to check for bedbugs! We found them in an airbnb on the OBX, NC!

  7. Canada is so breathtaking. That is a very special place. I would love to visit this incredible place. Excellent highlight of Canada, Mike.

  8. Love this! 🥰 Very special to give your lady this great trip.

  9. You really hit the jackpot on this 'job.' This would be my dream spot; I'm a gardener. This lovely couple has a really beautiful garden; big responsibility, Mike. I think you're up for it. I hope you are not staying there alone; what a romantic spot.
    9
  10. I didn't want this one end; this is a real adventure. And, this leg was even greater; you did it with wonderful friends. Nice to meet you Gareth and Helen; and, CONGRATULATIONS on your marriage!

  11. Sadly, this is travel for the rich and famous; you and Nichole were truly blessed to get this chance to see how the other half lives. How much would this plane flight cost if you had booked it yourself? We are all intrigued and want to know. Great to see Nicole, again; lovely as ever.

  12. I have been to the old growth forests in California. It is a spiritual experience. Thank you Downie Live and Levi Hildebrand for doing this important video. And thank you to the group organized and protesting to protect these few Old Growth Forests that have some how survived mankind.

  13. This was a fun ride! Christmas is around the corner and the end of 2020! Thank, God!

  14. Wales is truly a beautiful part of the United Kingdom. It was wonderful traveling with you canal boat newbies. You two worked together great as a team. I can't wait for the next canal boat adventure.
    6
  15. OMG! Mike, this was the best. I love alpacas and the Cottage is gorgeous. And, the view up top; stunning. You bet I would stay there. Loved this video! Note: The tugboat surprised me; no shower! That's a fail. The first tree house; total, absolutely NOT!

  16.  @rustyshackleford3263  You bet your _ass I'm a feminist. I am 60+; I worked my entire career in manufacturing in a large AT&T manufacturing plant. Over 10,000 people worked there. There was every male dominated trade in that plant. We manufactured integrated computer chips. I started there in 1975. I got to see blatant, abusive discrimination against women as they broke into these male dominated trades. Some of the trades were electronic techs, electricians, process analysts, mechanical maintenance. Women were harassed, berated, mocked; most of these brave women persevered and proved they could do the same job these men did and they were often better than their male counterparts. Those are the women who made in these trades; because what could a man say if a women did as good or better at job than a male. Only about 10 years before I started women could not be supervisors, or work in any of these male dominated trades. They also could not be Layout Operators. They ran production lines and process. You had to do a certain level of repair on the manufacturing equipment. You set up the line and made sure everything was running well to meet your production requirements. That is the job I worked up to and I did it better than many of my male counterparts. So, believe me, I discount your male chauvinist BS pretty darn quick.

  17. I am from the US; right now I wish I was a Canadian. Love Canada and Nova Scotia; gorgeous places on our globe.
    6
  18. Now, that was a unique place to stay. You wouldn't get me to do it, though. Have fun on your first adventure after the quarantine. Just remember it isn't over; and the US proves just how it isn't near over. So, use caution. Where are your masks when on a ferry and other public encounters? To see what happens when you don't continue to take precautions; look south of your border, especially way south. I live in Florida now and I am very sorry this is my current residence.

  19.  @rustyshackleford3263  Like I said, you are the typical male chauvinist. You cannot stand to see a women doing what is traditionally a man's job. You may or may not be an 'expert' on train operations. I don't really care. This young women did a fantastic job of operating that train and equipment. Your ignorance is showing, you have no clue how a computer chip is created and makes your world work today. Working in the integrated chip manufacturing world is very technical and has become even more so since I worked in that industry. You also missed the point, it went right over ignorant male head.

  20. Another great adventure with Downie Live! This will get interesting.......

  21. Another incredible journey with you and Jess! Loved it!

  22. Another awesome adventure! The scenery was breathtaking; Canada is so beautiful.
    4
  23. I loved this segment, Mike. Canada definitely has gorgeous scenery. That Mall was awesome; that was fun to watch, what a cool room. So, sad that it appears your goal to go across Canada by train may have been dashed. Can't wait to see what happens next week.
    4
  24.  @rustyshackleford3263  Your 'rule standard' doesn't apply anyway. This is a tourist operation, running on a closed track. They have a limited staff and she is covering several jobs. They to have adhere to 'provincial regulations and inspections.' Mike stated. I'll bet whoever trained her taught her how to do that maneuver with her foot. Quite obvious how you enjoy knocking a women doing 'a man's job.' I and several other people on here were impressed with how she handled herself running that old steam train.

  25. What a beautiful ending to a fabulous series. I am going to so miss this particular journey with you and Will. You did a fabulous job showing off Canada. It is a breathtaking and beautiful country with wonderful people. So, glad you are our neighbors!

  26. Another cool location in a wonderful little cabin on the water. What more could you ask for?
    3
  27. Another fabulous trip with you and Will; more interesting and beautiful places in Canada. That wine room was unexpected and incredible. What a great idea to restore it in that ruins. A lot of history to it, as well. Looking forward to the next leg of your journey.
    3
  28. Nice to meet you, Matt. It appears you are doing a great job! Keep up the good work.

  29.  @DownieLive  Thanks, Mike, what a poignant statement. There are outstanding men out there. You are one of them. You get it. My hat is off to your parents as well. They raised a secure, admirable young man; your sister, too. I will say no more.
    3
  30. What fun riding along with you and your Dad across America. You captured some beautiful scenery and you got to share it with your Dad. Your are right, Mike, your Dad is a good travel buddy. I can't wait to see the next video; on the Rocky Mountaineer with your Mom. It is a train I want to experience.
    3
  31. Your poor girlfriend looked green around the gills. Tip: I get sick on boats. Use pressure point bracelets (1 hr. before you leave) and ginger tablets (they help your stomach). What a beautiful trek through that rain forest and the hot springs looked refreshing. Loved the sea lions and whales as well.
    3
  32. Wow, what stunning scenery and that zip line has to be one of the best world. Your sister was an awesome planner for this part of your adventure. Loved this video!
    3
  33. That looked like fun with your family. Gorgeous setting. Canada is beautiful and not like all the disasters that are going on south of your border (including politically). Unique place to stay; I would do it.
    2
  34. This was a fun video. Canada does recycling better than the US, by a mile! I think you would get hired in minute, Mike. LOL!
    2
  35. Wow! What an honor to be given the privilege to fly on this plane for the trial run for this event. That had to be an awesome feeling to experience in a commercial jet that you would never want to experience if you fly on a commercial airline because in that case it would not be good thing whatsoever. That was really cool, Mike. Thanks again for taking us along on your incredible journey. Hats off to these three talented pilots.
    2
  36. Wow, now I know why I have followed your channel for so long; you take us on the most incredible journeys. This was breathtakingly beautiful. I usually do not like ferries; this one would be an awesome one to take. Alaska is truly incredible.
    2
  37. Awesome, Mike and Nicole! Loved this; it is my dream to go to Australia.
    2
  38. This was fun and interesting.
    2
  39. How great to see your lovely lady, Nicole, again. This was a fantastic place to take her. Australia is on my bucket list. I will keep those tours in mind. I am a birder; so, I would very much enjoy that tour.
    2
  40. Awesome on so many levels. Love your digs and flying with the Snowbirds was outstanding. Vancouver is truly a beautiful city. I hope to visit one day when we put this pandemic behind us.
    2
  41. It was worth it!!!!!!! So, awesome, Mike. You keep topping yourself with your videos.
    2
  42. Very good video, Mike. Neat video of cool places and things to check out in Vancouver.
    2
  43. What a cool thing to do, Mike. And, you met some great people and may have made life time friends. I loved this whole trip with you.
    2
  44. Wow! Wow! Wow! This goes on my bucket list! I hope I get to fulfill it! This is rolling history. Thanks to people that had the foresight to save this important part of rail history.

  45. Great fun trip with you guys. Heartbreaking to hear about Lytton. Our world is burning; it is very scary.
    2
  46. Great nostalgia and a blasts from the past. I really enjoyed this trip down US history memory lane.
    2
  47. You surprise us every week. This was an awesome trip. So, great to see you and your sister do another incredible trip together.
    2
  48. I have been wanting to do this for a long time. You and your friends motivated me to do this. Great traveling along with you on this one; the behind the scenes was interesting, as well.
    2
  49. That's was awesome; I've said it before, I'll say it, again, "Canada is so beautiful." Les Îles De La Madeleine is breathtaking. I am so glad to be on this journey with you and Will. I think I missed a segment; I will have to check that out. I don't want to miss one!
    2
  50.  @amonGustavo07  They helped me on a boat trip in Nova Scotia. I get very sea sick. I put them on an hour before and took ginger tablets. The seas were rough and many people were hanging over the side being sick. I did not get sick.
    2
  51. I love Coffee Crisp! Chocolate and Coffee go together like Peaches n' Cream!
    2
  52. Awesome and memorable trip with your Dad. The scenery was breathtaking. That spiral tunnel was incredible. I am interested in the trip you and your Dad did. I went on the Rocky Mountaineer website; can you tell me which tour your did; I would love to do that tour. Also, what level service did you go with on this trip. Thanks for this wonderful video; I really enjoyed seeing how much your Dad enjoyed it.
    2
  53. I liked the Space Ship, the Birds and the Chandelier. I'm not sure what order! Oh! And, CONGRATULATIONS ON 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!! YEAH!!
    2
  54. Fantastic first episode, Mike. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't wait for Ep. 2!
    2
  55. I would have never guessed your next Canada stay was going to be in an 'Orb!' Never in a million years! You certainly find unique places in Canada to show us. I loved it. So, nice to see your lovely girlfriend. Keep up the great work, Mike.
    2
  56. Wow, gorgeous treehouse. These hosts made this treehouse high end. How cool to be in the canopy of the trees. Loved those Sooke Potholes; looked 'refreshing!' I want to visit BC. I heard it is beautiful; your videos highlight that. I think there is plenty of touring you can do in Canada! Canada is beautiful; as long as your government doesn't ruin it with oil drilling and over logging. Congratulations on hitting 100K subscribers! You are already at 113K today! You put out quality videos and content; I think you will keep climbing in subscribers; especially, when this pandemic is under control. I am hearing that may not be until well into next year, though. So, scary for our world.

  57. I think the business class looks great. When you came to the end of the line at the US border; I thought I would like to live on the other side. I am a US citizen and the United States has become a horrible place to live.
    1
  58. Another awesome segment of your journey, Mike. This one brought back great memories; I wish I would have known about this train ride.
    1
  59. Ice cream looks good, too. I like a Almond Chocolate Coconut at Bruster's in Palm Coast, FL
    1
  60. No secrets in this place!

  61. I would stay in both. I love both styles. It would depend on how I was was feeling when I booked one of those rooms. Both are well done. Unique find, Mike.
    1
  62. That's a cool way to travel. I was surprised you were going there for a high 'tea.' 😊 It looked delicious; but, then dessert is always that.
    1
  63. This final tunnel was like a Christmas present from you and these wonderful tunnel tenders, Mike. Absolutely, another awesome adventure. This series has been one of your best; I thoroughly enjoyed. Loved that Nicole came with you on this one. I hope she does more adventures with you. Merry Christmas to you, Nicole and your family. And, a Happy and Healthy New Year!

  64. Another fun and interesting video; I love trains. I want to do an overnight on a train; it's on my bucket list. You have motivated me to do that. When you get out in the western US; you need to visit 'The Big Boy' No. 4014. This is now a fuel oil burning steam locomotive; it was born burning coal. This is the largest locomotive built. It was built to specifically haul heavy freight up the mountains in the west. This locomotive was recently rebuilt by Union Pacific and the man heading the team that rebuilt this locomotive is Ed Dickens. He is also the Engineer of No. 4014; the team visits cities all over the western half of the US. It draws people at most crossings on its journey and large crowds in cities across the west. There home base is Cheyenne, WY. Check it out, Mike.

  65. Really enjoyed this one. The BC Rockies are gorgeous. This brought back memories of a two week trip my husband and I did in the US Rockies. We did a Fly n' Ride into Vegas. We picked up a HD Superglide (yes, we are quite a bit older than you, LOL) and toured five states. Nevada, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico and Arizona. We saw so many of the great large National Parks. A place I would highly recommended is Ouary, CO. It is in a valley where several mountains come together. There are hot springs to soak in, including a cave hot spring. The scenery is gorgeous, many cool things to do; hiking, jeep rides and rentals, just a cool place I want to return to. The Million Dollar Highway here is a must do, too. When you ride the highway, you know why it was expensive. Really scary spots. If you go off the road, it is all over. We covered so much that we realized we need to go back and spend time in every state. We barely scratched the surface. I would also like to tour BC your videos prove; it is awesome as well. Sadly, we could no longer do it on a bike, though. Love your videos! Thought of something else. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is an awesome ride to do, as well. I know you are into trains.

  66. Fun video, Mike! You were so lucky to get this offer to caretake this fabulous property in Stanley Park. I have enjoyed the videos of this beautiful park. I am also happy you featured the company Tru Earth. I was going to try their product; but, I have been trying to get through my stock of laundry detergent. Maybe I will donate my spare bottle of detergent and try this product a little bit sooner. If it works they way it is advertised, I will be a permanent customer. Do you know if Tru Earth sells Dryer Sheets that disappear as well? Another, excellent video, Mike.

  67. Love your channel DownieLIve, Mike. People, you need to subscribe; great fun and great learning experience!
    1
  68. Another fantastic and fun video. Your series really makes me want to visit Canada again. I love your trains in Canada; they look better than Amtrak for sure. This looks like a really comfortable and fun way to see beautiful Canada.
    1
  69. What beautiful views of New Brunswick, Canada. I enjoyed the ride. Can't wait for the next one.
    1
  70. You are a handsome young man; but, I think a clean cut guy looks much more appealing. Just my personal opinion. But, do what makes you feel comfortable and happy. Really wonderful what you are doing with the Wirth hat. It is an important cause to support. I really enjoy your channel. I get to see things and places I wish I could visit. You do a great job at creating videos. To you and your family, a Better and Happy 2021. I pray we get a better 2021 in the US as well; we as a country have been through hell on many levels.

  71. I really don't get the thumbs down on your video, Mike. This was a really cool place. The town was charming and had gorgeous scenery as well; I would love to stay here!

  72. ​Mike, what an awesome trip for your Dad's 75th Birthday! Breathtaking scenery! Happy Birthday, to Dad!!
    1
  73. Wow! That was so awesome! If I was your age I would definitely love doing that.
    1
  74. So wonderful to see your lovely lady again. Nicole is a fantastic partner to have by your side. I really enjoyed this incredible adventure; really cool.
    1
  75. This is another one on my bucket list. Fantastic adventure with Downie Live!
    1
  76. Awesome; and, I am not much of a race fan. The food made my mouth water, as well.
    1
  77. You and your team did a fantastic job of representing Canada. The people of Canada featured made it really special. I so enjoyed this series. I am looking forward to season two.
    1
  78. Another fantastic adventure, Mike. You brought back some lovely memories; my husband and I toured Nova Scotia and Cape Breton many years ago. It was a breathtakingly beautiful and romantic place to visit.
    1
  79. Awesome, Mike! Can't wait to join you on your travels across the US to Alaska.
    1
  80. First if that was a 'virtual' birthday; it must mean your 35th birthday is right around this date or it was when this video first hit TV. So, anyway; HAPPY 35TH BIRTHDAY, Mike! And, many more! Wow, I think this was the best video in the series so far. Big Eddy Lodge was spectacular. To truly hear silence is incredibly special. In our modern world, you cannot find complete silence like that. How special to experience that. The dogs with the pups were a special treat; they were the sweetest dogs. And, then, the puppies; OMG! Really great video, Mike.
    1
  81. Awesome trip! I would love to do it.
    1
  82. You did it!!!!
    1
  83. Awesome, town!
    1
  84. Really cool video; every tram was unique. I have been to NY many times and I never even knew about that tram. Now, I'll have to check it out.
    1
  85. I would definitely stay there. Really cool.
    1
  86. My favorite was the Friendship Garden; but, all them were great parks. Wonderful things to see and do in your neck of woods for sure.
    1
  87. Loved that pool. You bet I would swim in that pool; even if it did freak me out. Liked your suit as well. Pretty, shnazzy!
    1
  88.  @DownieLive  LOL!
    1
  89. Wow! That is some cool pools and W hot tub.
    1
  90. Wow, this was incredible. A proposal in front of snoozing Polar Bear and then all the beautiful polar bears. You know why they were jumping up at the truck? You all looked like a tasty meal! And, they are very hungry bears who haven't eaten in awhile. LOL! I completely do not get the thumbs down. This was an awesome video, Mike.
    1
  91. I loved that tugboat. I would love to stay there. But, I guess it is difficult to book under normal conditions. You didn't mention a shower. Did it have a place to shower?
    1
  92. What a wonderful idea! You and Nicole pulled off the European Staycation!
    1
  93. Another cool place, Mike. Again, the scenery is just gorgeous. That looks like a cool place to visit and I loved the unique hotel. Question: Are you avoiding haircuts because of the pandemic? You look so much more handsome when your hair has a nice trim.
    1
  94.  @DownieLive  I'm jealous of your thick hair! LOL!
    1
  95. Wow, that was awesome. You got quite the ride with that Supra driver. The look of terror on your face was real! I think he did that a time or two. Man, I love coming along with you on your crazy journey. Never know what we are going to experience with you. 😳😖😣
    1
  96. Breathtaking....only way to describe your neck of the woods. Thanks for taking us on the journey with you and your family. This place is on my bucket list.
    1
  97. Another great video with beautiful scenery, fun times and good food. Fantastic new adventure with you, Mike.
    1
  98. I could not download either. I have a Microsoft computer; when I went into the apple store for apps. It said Chek+ not found. I called their technical support. They said you have to have an apple product to use the store. Someone mentioned you can do this using a VPN. I am not technical savvy. Can you explain what that is and how do you get it. Mike, I have enjoyed your YT channel for well over a year; congratulations on your new venture. You certainly deserve it; you put out quality videos.
    1
  99. So, awesome! That aqueduct was incredible; and more incredible, it was built a long time ago. Loved this journey with the two of you (and friend)!
    1
  100. You don't have to be apologetic about making mistakes. You are doing what every good journalist does; you are setting the record straight. I really enjoy your channel, Mike. You do a professional job at presenting your videos. Now, Mike, about the hair...I'm glad you are considering making a change. You are a nice looking guy; but, you look a little 'unruly,' LOL!
    1
  101. Wow! This was unexpected! Really cool video; especially since I love James Bond movies. You are looking dashing and handsome in these hot cars. I'll bet you had a whole lot of fun making this video. Well done, Mike!
    1
  102.  @davidyoung1962  I would love to see that area of the world, as well.
    1
  103. Another great video, Mike! I am really going to enjoy this series.
    1
  104. Wow, Canada is breathtakingly beautiful; especially in the winter time. So, enjoyed riding with you and Will!
    1
  105. I have been with you and your channel since almost the beginning of your channel. I have thoroughly enjoyed you and your channel (and your besty, Nicole); so, I so appreciate that you did this video and shared this very personal part of your and Nicole's life. We are like family after all this time; thanks for sharing this wonderful event and your incredible move to a cool city. Looking forward to videos about your new abode; Hong Kong.
    1
  106. OMG! I think your channel get any better; and, yet, it does! That was an incredible climb. Jess really gave you a challenge. I can't wait for the next parts of this trip.
    1
  107. Really, cool. Beautiful city skyline!
    1
  108. This was an interesting video. What I learned; this airport could be a destination. Really cool things to see and do. And, you can stay there overnight. Really fun video. Your fame on DownieLive is getting you to do some really cool things.
    1
  109. WOW! WOW! Those ladies are amazing and inspiring. They had wonderful support from their friends all along the way. Congratulations to these fine ladies! You did it!!!!
    1
  110. I'm watching from Palm Coast, FL. Moved here almost three years ago from Pennsylvania. Love the warm weather, no snow; but, (isn't there always a but in life) we hate the threat of hurricanes and having to evacuate if that occurs. There are quite a few Canadian retirees here in FL. Some full time and some 50/50. I just subscribed, so, I had to find out about you. Very interesting how you came to be a YT'er. Your background has sure helped you. You create quality videos. Good luck to you. You are getting close to that 100K! I hope you hit it soon.
    1
  111.  @DownieLive  More of a definition of Snowbirds; they are ones that are here (in FL) 50% of the time. They migrate like the snowbirds. LOL
