※ This video is the full version of [Documentary World - Diesel Gypsy's Continental Crossing] aired on February 7, 2020. ※ May the soul of the late Choi Chang-gi, Diesel Gypsy, rest in peace ※ ■ Meet the faceless trucker YouTuber, 'Diesel Gypsy' YouTuber Diesel Gypsy, a triangle trucker who travels between Canada and the United States. His videos are mainly set on North American highways. His videos, which contain endless roads, vast scenery, and the small daily lives of North American truckers, have received support from over 50,000 subscribers. The savory Busan dialect and the yellow large truck 'Dolsoe' reminiscent of the movie Transformer are Diesel Gypsy's trademarks. The faceless YouTuber Diesel Gypsy, he is Choi Chang-gi who has been an immigrant to Canada for 15 years. ■ Diesel Gypsy's Highway Life Diesel Gypsy Choi Chang-gi spends more than 15 days on the road, on top of a truck, once he sets off on a transport journey. Winter is a particularly dangerous season for North American truckers who have to cross the rugged Rocky Mountains. Accidents where large trucks roll over due to heavy snow and strong winds are frequent, and highways are often closed due to bad weather. However, the moment he crosses the Rocky Mountains and crosses the U.S. border, the season changes to spring. His car, which crosses the Canadian and U.S. borders twice and passes through all four seasons in two weeks, is loaded with clothes for all four seasons. He eats, sleeps, and edits YouTube videos all in his car, and for Choi Chang-gi, who drives the continent for more than 10 months a year, his car is his home and the road is his life. ■ Finding Freedom of Mind in North America He drives about 12,000 km in a fortnight and 250,000 km in a year, and if you convert the distance he has traveled in the past 14 years to about 3.5 million km, the distance he has traveled from the Earth to the moon four and a half times. Although his daily routine of driving on endless roads for 11 hours a day is lonely, Choi Chang-gi says he is not stressed. 20 years ago, he suffered a stroke due to work stress, and suffered aftereffects of paralysis on the right side of his face. Unable to bear the gaze of people fixated on his facial disability, he built a wall between himself and the world, but 14 years ago, he came to Canada and became a trucker driving across the North American continent, and he finally regained his freedom of mind by crossing a continent where people do not look at his appearance as an unfamiliar person. ■ Pride of Diesel Gypsy Large trucks account for more than 80% of logistics transport in the North American continent. Therefore, transportation regulations for the safe operation of truckers are strict, and truckers also have strong pride and responsibility. Once they set out on a journey, they have to live alone in their trucks for 24 hours a day for about 15 days, and the biggest enemy for truckers is loneliness. However, Choi Chang-gi started a one-man broadcast last year and gained over 50,000 subscribers as his traveling companions. The beautiful scenery and rare natural phenomena of the continent provide healing to subscribers, and the trucking life of a 14-year North American trucker provides opportunities for indirect experience and information to those who want to become truckers. In addition, Korean truckers operating in North America listen to Diesel Gypsy's broadcast to relieve their loneliness on the road. #Trucker #Triangler #DieselGypsy
