I hope you have an entire backup heat system in place. On a small airplane there is a backup alternator which you check before flight. You should have a backup heater. And why don't you carry an extra 2 tanks of diesel? Someday you will look back at the things you should have done. I have.

I just know an interesting sounding song when I hear one. The words I don’t necessarily know… but it’s this type of music that I listened to while I traveled thru the area.. and it essentially was my soundtrack to my own movie as I drove.

We stayed at Cold Foot on our own epic overland from the Panhandle of Florida to Prudhoe Bay. Probably the time of year but during August 2019, the Ranger Station held nightly discussions - living in the area one night, on our way back it was training sled dogs. On our return, after getting into our room we walked up those stairs and saw four gentleman at the nearest outside table. I recognized one immediately......but couldn't for the life of me remember where then the lights went on. He is a youtuber I follow - Toby Gelston at PhotoRec TV. The window to your right - top of the stairs is covered in stickers. We left ours. Hope you left one of yours. Same for when you get to Prudhoe Bay. The big sign outside the General Store is covered in them. Watching this trip brings back tons of good memories. Safe travels.

I drove from Michigan, all the way up to Yukon and Alaska, to Fairbanks, through Danali....and down through BC, and the whole west coast of USA to ScCal in 1982. In a VW Rabbit Deisel, back seats out, slept in it on the Alcan and camped out in a Dome Tent all the ways! Best trip of my Life. Washed up in the a.m. in a lot of Mountain streams. Drove the Cassiar Hwy up and down, in 50mhad 2 flat tires "conveniently" close to the only repair station within 50 Miles! lol

Appreciate you driving and filming in this environment cant be an easy task. Interesting clip on the area and the road being put in. The landscape was out of this world amazing those tree's survive that harshness.

Wonderful video! Studded tires are usually the winter tire of choice in Alaska. I lived 30 years on the Kenai Peninsula. My biggest relief came when you got rid of the shorts. My 10 year old daughter and I pulled 2 shorts- wearing guys out of a snow bank down on the Kenai. They nosed in to the snow, on bald tires wearing loafers, no socks. That was a teachable moment on many levels for the boys as well as my daughter. Of course you are more than prepared and you could access warmer clothes in your van. They didn’t carry winter gear at all. That and other missteps have cost lives on winter roads in Alaska. My daughter went on to specialize in SAR and emergency/wilderness medicine as a PA-C. Almost 40 years later my brother still works on the north slope. My uncle was one of the first Arco employees to get to the slope. He set up the repair shops in the late 60’s. Be safe and enjoy!

I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright AK Fairbanks was the town we lived in before moving on post from 1988 to 1991. When I was reassigned to Ft. Stewart GA I was given the option to fly or drive out of Alaska.........I drove........ in a 86 Ford Thunderbird to NYC, oh with my 3 kids. Don't know how we made it in the midst of winter. This video brings back memories and this I get to see everything I missed. Was scared out of my britches but I'll say that Thunderbird held its own in the snow and the cold. If I'd of known I'd of flown. Chad your way would've made our trip way more fun😮

Im not sponsored either but once i found out the magic of preasure cookers i recommend them to everyone and have gifted an instant pot last christmas actually. The fact you can cook mash potaoes with less the a cup of water blew my mind, they even taste better becasue they're not soaked in water, so much more efficient, perfect for van life now after seeing toast being made with it... nice! the most versatile cooking insturment on the planet.

I've watched a few of these videos and was wondering what kind of reserch everyone does for the Dalton? One of the most important things to have in any vehicle on that road is a CB. When your climbing or descending the steep parts you should call out on the radio so if there is an issue with one of the big trucks sideways or broken down you can have a little advanced warning. It happens more than we really like to admit. You can also get up updates from the trucks that are going north or south to find out about the road conditions. If anyone drives the haul road please slow down (30-40 mph)when you pass a big truck. The rocks that are on the road even though they're small they still crack windshields when its that cold and is just good road manners for the guys that have to drive that road every day to make there living.

I could swear that such tires are very slippery in those conditions. The rubber compound is not designed for such a cold climate and it hardens even more slippery. I personally wouldn't dare to go on such a trip without studded winter tires. I live in Finland,So I know kinda what I'm talking about. You have valuable equipment, so give it the tires it deserves. I recommend looking at Nokian studded Tyres. Love watching your videos Chad. Keep doing what you do and remember to enjoy . Keep it between the ditches 👍
