I am on day 9 of my adventure up to the Arctic Circle and if all goes well the Arctic Ocean and the Town of Tuktoyaktuk. I have been filming the entire journey and will share those videos with you all in a few weeks, but just wanted to do a quick update on how things are progressing.

Love the sitrep. When you said “bugs have been almost nonexistent” cue bug to fly in front of your face. Haha!

I'm jealous Brad! Enjoy your time. Thank you for sharing this epic trip with us.

@billwaterhouse5894 Месяц назад

Hey Brad, glad the trip is going well. If not mentioned by others, right when you said bugs have been almost nonexistent, one flew into the lens, which was hilarious…safe travels, sir. PS folks may find it strange that you talk about your health, but it’s incredibly important. My wife and I were on a six week adventure last year and ended up on week two with a major medical emergency. C’est la vie at times (a first for us)

@davidgarcia2491 Месяц назад

From the planning, from the logistics, from the video work to the incredible scenery. Absolutely, absolutely incredible. Just stellar all the way around. Thank you for all the work you put in and taking us along.

@beaunugget4277 Месяц назад

What a great trip. Right when you were saying that bugs hadn’t been much of an issue, a mosquito flew by the camera. I thought that was funny. Wishing you a safe journey!

For my Arctic trip, I made a windshield protector out of polycarbonate and it saved my windshield from a couple of big rocks.

@2detore 27 дней назад

Cool trip! Btw, I went Jeeping in Anzo-Berrego recently. Me and a friend are cyclist, so we did a mountain ride climb before our Jeep meet up. We came across long horn goats. You have to go up in elevatiion above AB to find them. Love your channel. Enjoy Alaska.

@auctoritasmedia Месяц назад

FYI, the Ferries are not in the rivers yet. The Mackenzie River ferry just went in to start work but will take a few days. The Peel River ferry is cable-driven and can't go in until the water level comes up and debris clears the river.

@SL-hp8ou Месяц назад

According to some websites I came across, the ferries start running in the first week of June for last 5 years (I think), what do you think about this year?

@danhoffman9392 Месяц назад

The tines I was in AK, late summer, there were no bugs to speak of.

@leemen Месяц назад

Great update. I’m excited to see all of the footage from this trip. It’s a trip we were hoping to take this year but I’m gonna put off till next year. So many trips in so little time. Lol.

@daledurham7353 Месяц назад

Yukon Territory Campsites are awesome and most provide firewood and have shelters for cooking, etc. in them

@tylerhunter7272 Месяц назад

Great to hear you and Shaun are so compatible, very important on an extended adventure like this one. Keep rolling.

@popo_patty Месяц назад

I'm eagerly awaiting for the video series! My goal is to take my FC-150 (heavily modified) up to the Arctic Circle within the next few years.

@blueman5924 Месяц назад

Great to hear about your journey thus far. It will be an awesome series to watch, once you’ve had time back home to stitch all the adventures together. Enjoy the moments. 🍁🤙

@carlosnsosa99 Месяц назад

You’re one lucky 🍀 guy too be able too travel like you do!!

@4x4ready Месяц назад

Awesome update, nice to see the Prospector XL on the trip. Those Hawk front dinettes do tend to get heavy. The Rebel + AEV parts already deduct from the 2,200 lbs payload leaving maybe 1700?before bumpstops. I got a 3500 (3.9k payload) for this reason so will be cool to see how it did. Great trip and thanks for sharing the update!

@marklofthouse6244 Месяц назад

Looks like a great trip. Will be watching. BTW bear spray is useless.

@LiterallyOverTheHillAdventures Месяц назад

I am planning the same trip except I will be coming from Georgia. I have a Gladiator also with an Alu Cab Canopy Camper and it has simply been a game changer for me. I have been doing vehicle based adventure since the latter half of the 1970s and it has been the answer to all the wants I have compiled in the past almost 50 years of doing this. Have fun and enjoy your trip.

@rubiconadventurewithscotty3258 Месяц назад

I put 8mil thick film on all my cars windshields and it really stops rock chips and cracks. My JK had 8 rock chips in the first 18 months, replaced teh glass and then applied film. 4 years later plenty of rock hits here in AZ but not one chip, bullseye or crack

@TheStoryTillNow Месяц назад

Having a blast hanging out with you too brother! We're crushing this trip! I say if the ferries aren't running we swim to Tuk!!

@tbtsyncro Месяц назад

Both ferries are running as of this morning. Hopefully they get the highway issue resolved and you can get through..

@TheStoryTillNow Месяц назад

@@tbtsyncro we just came from the peel crossing. Not opening today. They were still running the cable across.

@tbtsyncro Месяц назад

@@TheStoryTillNow well boo on that. I heard they were both going to be online today. Although not the worst place to be waiting. The Nitainlai campground on the far side of it has hot showers. Its not overlanding, but they''re a nice perk along the way,

@ingelri2 Месяц назад

I hope you share the route as part of your video series.

@fscottgray9784 Месяц назад

Your camp site reminds me of several I have stayed at in Idaho.

@lauralee_365 Месяц назад

Glad the trip is going well and sorry to hear about your shoulder. If makes you feel any better, I’m 4 weeks out from hip labrum and impingement surgery done at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. Just off crutches and doing great. Take care the rest of the trip! Can’t wait for the videos!

Brad, great to see an update, cool that your going with Shawn. Wife and I just returned from almost 6,000 KM trip . We are right on the BC/WA border, inland route through Zion to Sedona AZ then returned more of less up the coast home. So looking forward to seeing your video series

I love my Power Wagon and my TJ. This looks like a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

@blueduster74 Месяц назад

Going up then Alcan Highway to Alaska, exploring all the side trails in Canada and Alaska is on my bucket list. My grandfather had duty on it after the war was over. He’d been wounded during Market Garden and was assigned as an instructor at the base near the Boeing plant getting ready for the invasion of Japan. I hope rehab works out for you, it bought me 12 yrs before I had to have my labrum and rotator scar tissue cleaned up.

@user-jl4sn7tp5u Месяц назад

@stellarpod Месяц назад

My buddy Greg (driving a white F250 with a camper shell) is a bit ahead of you, already at the Arctic Circle, but you might actually be there when this video dropped. He's headed the same place you are and is stalled, awaiting the ferry openings, just as you are. It's been fun watching both of you migrate north (I'm tracking him on Google Earth and we're staying in contact via Skylink). I'm looking forward to all your installments on this adventure, and as always, thanks for sharing. Steve

@kevinp2820 Месяц назад

@brett3152 Месяц назад

The ferries should open today (June 3rd) at 5pm. Then there’s a washed-out highway to deal with, but I hope Brad can stick with Plan A.

@kanon0853 Месяц назад

This is great, have a good time man.

@MountainManAdventures Месяц назад

You most definitely drove right through my hometown of Prince George BC. I hope to one day travel up to the Yukon. I can’t wait for the series that comes out of this, both from you and Shaun.

@blippacg Месяц назад

That's a trip I'd like to make. And seeing Sean's rig is giving me lots of ideas. Just bought a 2024 Ram 2500 gas engine. Would love to mount one of those 4 Wheel campers on the back.

ouch on the shoulder! im out for 6 weeks with shoulder surgery recovery. i tore mine and have limited movement / pinched feeling. 20 years as a mechanic! im on day 3 im better but the first 48 hours was very painful. make sure they do a good nerve block if you get it done!

@mccormickwands3599 Месяц назад

Welcome to Canada! Happy you’re seeing some wildlife… or as we like to call them, “landlords”. If you want to see proper bugs, make a trip out east in northern Ontario and Quebec. The mosquitos and black flies are often confused with birds of prey and sometimes carry beavers, baby moose and Toronto Maple Leaf fans away to their lairs…..

@jguil4d Месяц назад

If you have the time, when you’re coming back from Tuktyuktuk, have you considered going into Alaska? You can take the George Black Ferry across the Yukon in Dawson City and then follow Top of the World to the Taylor Hwy. If you really have the time, you could take a detour to Eagle, the oldest city in Alaska and site of the first federal courthouse, then come back down the Taylor to the Alaska Hwy near Tok. If you’re driving down all the way, you will pass through the roughest section of the Alaska Hwy and then Kluane Lake, which is also a really pretty area, and then you’ll hit Whitehorse and be where you are now-ish.

On two different road trips my windshield took a beating. From getting sandblasted by a dump truck to a rock hit that sounded like a shotgun blast. Ugh. Can't wait to see where you were at up here in WA! I live just south of the border! Would have been cool to see you!
