I think this may be the most significant video you guys have ever put out. I mean let's be honest you take us to mind blowing places but this is literally once in a lifetime of once in a lifetimes. You two are delirious in the most exciting good way. To watch you guys act like a pair of kids the night before christmas is a fresh change to the channel.
I remember one night the northern lights were really active and there were colors other than green and it was so beautiful I started to get cold. After spending years working outside everyday saying you were getting cold is a way of saying you were way too distracted, dangerously distracted.. It was so beautiful and unusual to see colors other than green I will cherish the memory for the rest of my life.
THE…BEST…VIDEO…ON…THE…ENTIRE…INTERNET!!! I mean, how could it be any better?! A true adventure, beautiful scenery, excellent funny engaging hosts/narrators, snow everywhere, driving through in machines equal to the task… and even a dog or two!!! It can’t get any better than this!!! This totally ROCKS!!!
@FordPerformance these 2 have taken their Braptor SO far beyond anyone and done R&D from red rock rock crawling to arctic,..please sponsor Lite Brite !!
Definitely one of your best videos! As Kevin was doing shenanigans on the Arctic circle, I chuckled to myself wondering what the original owner would think of this. He just sat on it in his garage, meanwhile you guys are taking it out on these insane adventures. Maybe he made a few grand on it, but these adventures are priceless.
I worked building the, Dempster Highway for 4 years in the early 1970s. You didn't really see bad weather or good northern lights. There might be a blizzard @ -40 degrees with 50 mph winds and there might be northern lights in 4 colors sweeping rapidly across the entire sky. Better luck next time. ❄️👍
Fantastic trip , I can't wait to do this trip this summer . You had to deal with cold , in the summer it's insects , black flies , mosquitos , and the roads , if it rains a lot , well , they turn to a mud mucky mess , and with the trucks flying past , it's a whole other set of issues to contend with . Still can't wait 'cause like you said how many people do this and travel this remote . There is so much to explore in the north of Canada , and it's all pristine and absolutely beautiful . Last year I did the Trans Taiga trail in Northern Quebec , you wanna talk remote , when you hit the end of the Trans Taiga at Caniapiscau you are 750 km from the nearest town the furthest you can get from a town in North America on a track ,an absolutely beautiful feeling to be that remote , and a bucket list acomplishment for sure. Did it solo in my awesome built for overland travel Tank green 2 door JK , what a trip AWESOME!! Cheers Wild Bill , overlanding the North of Canada 👍 . Never stop exploring!!
In January 1989 I drove from Texas up the Al Can to Anchorage in a 78 Chevy 2500 loaded down with 20 extra gallons of gas, 4 extra tires and a 4x4 quad in the back along with plenty of provisions and cold weather gear thinking I gonna have the time of my life, all was good tell a semi passed me in the middle of nowhere Yukon kicking up the snow dust and I caught the edge of the powder and ended up on my roof in the snow bank. I’m sure he didn’t see what happened, I couldn’t dig the quad out, thankfully the windows stayed in tack and I was prepared because it was 6 hours before another vehicle came along. I got a ride to Dry Creek, next day got a wrecker out and flipped it over, pulled plugs and it started up and continued on tell about 100 miles out of Anchorage when the rear left tire fell off because I didn’t realize the axle was bent from the roll over. What an adventure. That is truest beautiful and brutal country up there and I am a little jealous of your adventures right now.
Yes Britany, sometimes you just got to stop and admire Nature's beauty! Dog sledding! Now that's a once in a lifetime event! What an adventure you both had! Happy Trails to you both!
As humidity goes up you’ll feel colder at the same air temperature. The moisture reduces the efficiency of your thermal barrier (coat insulation, long underwear, etc).
I see Chris supertuned your AC 😂! Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us you guys. Kevin's going to the right just a bit didn't work out as well for me at this time 😉🤣. Much love you guys ❤❤💯🤙
use a snow/sand anchor when there's no trees. But there expensive for something you hardly use. always good to be in a group to anchor off each other with no trees.
I was stationed 4 yrs in North Pole Alaska ( Airforce), been on 60 below for weeks, and snow over 4 feet in my yard. But a dry cold is a lot different from the lower 48 cold. But the Chances of frost bites goes up. Northern lights are amazing to see in person. I'm glad to see they enjoyed frozen snow and ice roads. If anyone gets the chance to visit, try the bald eagle run in Haines Alaska. There's nothing like seeing an eagle catch a salmon or fly upside down holding one.
That was some "Beast" out your window @4:19. That's what you need up there. Epic journey, trip, adventure and video. LITE BRITE, LAST SEEN DRIVING NORTH.
Absolutely awesome , your living life as it should be . Thank you for taking us on your trip with you . We got to experience a journey that wouldn't have been possible without you . Keep up the content . Thanks .
I spent 9 months working on the Alaska Pipeline up north in Prudhoe Bay and I drove upon the Artic Ocean Ice. It was scarey. This was in in 1977 & 78 - went out to a drilling rig. Welcome to the club of Those who have done that. ;-)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us please understand how you helped many people feel better when they watch your videos. You can effect emotions in a great way
For having born, grown and living in tropical, i wonder if my heart won’t stop once i spend the whole time you spent in that freezing area! Your are quite resistant! More on that you keep your smile🤣🤣🤣
Ford Bronco Raptor team should be proud. You all are awesome for the way you ran the Raptor across the frozen Arctic Ocean. Amazing!! Hopefully Ford will contact you guys to use some footage of actual customers using the Bronco Raptor in true Raptor conditions, and it’s showing itself to be the appropriate tool to use. Also I hope Corporate Ford Engineers reach out to you so they can get a rare opportunity to view how the systems and components held up in such challenging conditions. Partnerships to be had all around. That’s for taking me on a wonderful digital adventure. I loved it 😊!
The winter world is a whole different place your A/T tires are only good when you stay on the road. Once you get into that snow you need much more aggressive tires and air down of course.
Hey was it a Blue Bronco, for some reason I think it might be the same Bronco Matt from @off the ranch rebuilt and the New Owner said he was driving it too The Arctic.. 🤔🤔🤔
Insane! Drifting on the Arctic Ocean? All bundled up like (..dare I say it..) the Michelin Man! But the DOGS!, they just don’t care how cold it is. What’s amazing beside the Nitto Tires are the Vehicles! All seem to have worked without trouble or breakdowns?! Can’t wait to see more. LiteBriteNationExtremes!
Another once in a lifetime opportunity you are sharing with us. We used to have the occasional -20F days in Indiana (not wind chill). I took my X and new born daughter home from the hospital on one of those days. I used to go to snowmobile races where the parking was on the ice.
I use a Midland MicroMobile base station in my Jeep, it is pure awesome! As the lead, i've held comms with an entire 50 Jeep train...in the woods! CB won't do that. Its also nice as i can usually raise other groups on the trails to find out where they are and what they are doing to coordinate better.
Guys, this is a very fantastic trip. Glad you brought us along. You have made the bucket list longer. I recommend your summer trip. Go to Newfoundland.
A great trip. We drove it in late February 2004 all the way to Inuvik and then up to Tuktoyaktuk using the ice road - that was before the new road was constructed. What amazing scenery.
so i take scout troop kids camping up to -30, mainly cause any colder than that and we waste too much gas letting trucks idle randomly. at least in CO and you previously knew, most anti-freeze is only good to around -35 ish. but back to my point, if you can tolerate 0, you can tolerate -30 cause (again here in CO) there's very little moisture in the air at those temps. the snow is squeaky and powder dry. some of the most miserable camping i've done though was in November, at +25 overnight. But it was 45 during the day and lightly rained for about 2 hours. 95% humidity and 25 degrees was brutal. Couldn't get warm in sleeping bags due to everything being saturated.
Yes I agree about the wet cold vs dry cold. I went to Oregon State and one winter I visited my cousin in Boulder and it was 5°F for a week. I covered everything up and was able to get warm. Went back to Corvallis and it was 45°F and I was colder than when I was in Boulder.
I live in eastern Montana and -14 is actually pretty normal and at least once a yr our cold weather beats Alaska's cold weather. -54 was what we got this last winter we are coming out of. You guys said it didn't really feel that cold due to being there for a few days. After our week long -'s 0 degrees feels like t-shirt weather. Its amazing our bodies can acclimate to such extreme temps so quickly.
The pads on the thumbs of your gloves are 100% for wiping your nose. I had a pair of Burton gloves that had that pad on 1 thumb and a little plastic squeegee on the other one for your goggles.
Awesome Trip!! The Northern Lights Were Awesome!! Now I want it to snow so I can go play in the Jeep!! Looked Like It Was So Much Fun!!! You Guys Are So Lucky And Blessed To Do These Amazing Things And Get Paid For Doing Them!!! That’s The Best Part Of All!! Stay Safe!!!
I am a Canadian that spent many winters in Northern BC and Alberta. In blizzards driving I found that lane memorization helped me through lots of on coming semis. Also felt the tug you mentioned too
Great video and beautiful scenery..I will never make it up there to see those things so it’s great to watch your videos ..not a lot of people can say they were there..keep up the great work.
Awesome videos of your artic expedition, I ran into this one from 1978 and thought you would enjoy watching it. There are a couple 30 min videos of it here on youtube. 1978 Jeep Expedition of the Americas
Thank you for another great episode!! I hope you take a moment to soak in all those wonderful places that you guys see. You are so lucky to have the same passion and be able to live it!!! You realize that we, the rest of the other 99.9%of the mortal people, we just live the adventure through you. So you have a mission, to give us many more adventures, as long as your personal clutch will hold on. Take care guys!!
The map view at the end really is a clever closing & cool appreciation of your traveling effort & exploration , for us on the cheap seats .🥂🏁🥂❣️ A Grandio show ❤️
Incredible series, take it all in. You are right not many travel our north and many never get the opportunity to see how beautiful our country is. I spent about 12 years servicing and installing grocery stores all across the Canadian Arctic, most of which you can't drive to. Although I don't fly anymore I still travel to northern communities if I can drive. I remember I was doing work in Pond Inlet Nunuvut while my wife was in Cabo Mexico. We couldn't of been further from eachother on the continent lol. Stay warm and keep them vids coming!
Ya'll are so lucky and truly blessed to get to go on such amazing adventures that 99% of us will never ever get to do! I'm dieing so I know I sure won't get to, thank you for taking us along! And Kevin you got an amazing Beautiful wife you guys are great, I still wish the Bronco had a V8 cause it just dosnt sound right. Other than that nice rig!! Stay safe and God bless❤
Inuvik was my moms hometown, and I used to work on a tug boat that would travel the Mackenzie up to Tuk. It's so cool to see you guys enjoying yourselves up there :) Im a big fan :)
