I am on day 12 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.

You inspired me to make the trip to MOAB from GA with just my service dog. Planned this trip years ago watching and waiting bed ridden told it was ok to let go. Not me fight like the veteran I am and beat death. You’re such an inspiration to many.

@californiagold7764 Месяц назад

As a trucker who passes by Moab here and there and have been all over the US. I can tell you, you won’t be disappointed one bit. It’s like nothing else in this country.

@waynewelter Месяц назад

Dempster is amazing. I did it 5 years ago on my motorcycle and it was a trip of a lifetime.

@jime.angulo4151 Месяц назад

Seriously looking forward to the next SITREP! Thank you for reporting.

@edwardzvonik7157 Месяц назад

When stationed at Shemya Alaska, we did a Air Force versus Army dip in the Artic Ocean, trust me, you will never again feel the need to go back in. burrr!

@OffGridAdventure Месяц назад

Almost there! What a beautiful place to camp. Sounds like the adventure of a lifetime. Enjoy it. After serving over 22 years, I appreciate the SITREP format.

One of the most interesting observations from my trip was tire wear. We had a Land Cruiser with Toyo's and a 4 Runner with Falken's. One was cracked and chunked, the other blemish free so different that the cracked and chunked owner changed tires when home. We lost a windshield too on the mad rock slinging dash away from the ferry. 3 1/2" double circle dinger!

@RobertLopez-vh7yf Месяц назад

Love to watch your videos Brad ! CONGRATS making it to the artic circle! Be careful on your journey, good luck and God bless. And Hello from Sacramento, Ca. 😃 Robert Lopez

@JoeShep71 Месяц назад

Back in the day they had the Molson Ice Polar beach party in Tuktoyaktuk. I wanted to go and I've been fascinated with it since then. Hope you make it!!!

@barryraven4745 Месяц назад

I have an old picture book of the YT. The pics were amazing so I can imagine how awesome it is in person. It is on my bucket list.

@christopherharris6005 29 дней назад

Awesome video as always Brad. Can’t wait to see the full Arctic series from both your and Shaun’s point of view. Also I hope Shaun picked up the bottle laying next to he’s passenger front tire. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.

@brassmonkeydesigns 14 дней назад

I’ve enjoyed the Sitrep videos Brad, it’s a little different than normal and they’re a nice behind the scenes. Keep doing what you’re doing!

@jimbrown6422 Месяц назад

We drove the Dalton Highway last year up to Coldfoot above the arctic circle. We stayed in the work camp overnight. Its been hard to describe to people how beautiful the drive was.

@scottymac5174 Месяц назад

This is a trip that has been on my bucket list to do now for many years. A couple of good friends who did this trip on their motorcycles 15 years ago have also now ridden all the way down to Ushuaia, the farthest south you can go in Patagonia, South America. Farthest north and farthest south that you can get to by road.

@briangudger3466 Месяц назад

We went to Tuk last summer and it was, surprisingly, one of the warmest days of our summer travels. I think it was June 30th and it was 29C / 84F. Did not expect that! Regarding the dredge, if I remember correctly, the tour guide told us that that massive machine was run by just 4 people! Crazy!!

@MountainManAdventures Месяц назад

Yeah, I hope to travel up to the Yukon and Arctic one day! Great sitrep 👍

@cmoreoverland6739 Месяц назад

That's called an adventure...I love it...Gonna do it again.

@user-eo6ml3co1s Месяц назад

My buddy in Inuvik tells me the washout on the Tuk Highway has been repaired, and the highway reopened - although crews will be continuing work on the affected area on Wednesday.

@wolfprowler Месяц назад

It's absolutely stunning isn't it!! My wife and I did it in the winter. We didn't need to wait for the ferries lol We want to do it in the summer/fall next. Following along with your adventure. Cheers

@gogerwi Месяц назад

What a great adventure, thanks for the update.

still on my 'bucket list'...hope to complete it next yr🤠

@kevinmacafee7638 Месяц назад

Brad I drove to Tuk last August from Minneapolis. There was sun in Dawson City and it then rained for the next 5-6 days. The Dempster was a muddy mess all the way to Tuk but well worth the trip. The rivers were so low that they were trucking supplies North to Inuvik and Tuk and given the mud, the trucks were struggling getting down and up to/from the ferries. Hope the ferries run and you make it all the way. Cheers

@danemortensen3099 Месяц назад

I took the plunge in Tuk a couple years ago and it was cold but nothing to be scared of. It was an awesome experience!

@hamiltmb Месяц назад

I lived in Fairbanks AK as a kid after my father was transferred to Ft Wainwright. It was the mid late 80s. Flights were crazy expensive and we were an Army family, so we drove. My father had the keys to the state - it was locked off from the public back then - and one summer we drove north to prudoe bay and all the way back south to Valdez. We did 3 round trips from Fairbanks to Alabama in the time I was there. 6 trips over the AlCan Hwy when a lot was still gravel. We cracked a windshield every trip, but never broke down. I never made it to Barrow and the Arctic Ocean, will have to make it back someday. We just called it camping, no over landing back then.

@pnwrocker1965 Месяц назад

Sounds fun. Can’t wait to see the full videos.

@leemen Месяц назад

Amazing looking trip. Excited to see the videos!

@lewyonmars7776 Месяц назад

I haven't been on the Dempster hwy, but I have gone up the Dalton hwy.. Dalton is really beautiful and saw a lot of musk ox.. camped by a river one "night" and woke up with them surrounding the bronco. Also saw a lot of duck and some fox. Woke up with a moose basically looking into the roof top tent while having it's breakfast (that was at Denali) Was already wanting to get back up north, your videos are really helping to push me to do that sooner lol

@Jan-pw4po Месяц назад

Awesome Brad, looking forward to your next video

@AdventuresofMarkyandSparky Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing and inspiring so many of us to get out and go!

@rahmanazad4810 Месяц назад

Have fun in your trip

@ToddRightsell Месяц назад

Cool video....Dont discount the Dalton! The folks up in Prudhoe are always glad to see tourists rather than roughnecks. Its worth the trip up.

@mrmepstein Месяц назад

Nice to cross paths with you and Shawn in BC, (sorry for making you wait while I was blocking the Alaska sign with my rv) from my trip it definitely looks like you had an amazing trip …. kinda makes me jealous I am not going that far north, just hit Dawson City myself

@zd533 Месяц назад

Looks like a great time! This trip is definitely on my bucket list..

@seanmacdonald9808 Месяц назад

This put a smile on my face as i was raised in Norman wells! you can leave the north but the north never leaves you

@danielgalyon9670 Месяц назад

The scenery up north is incredible! This trip is so awesome

@SinCityDetail Месяц назад

Detailing your Jeep after such an epic adventure would make for a great video! Let's do a colab.

@tomlauritzen9522 Месяц назад

2022 we did the trip to Tuktoyaktuk just after they opened the area after Covid. Then into Alaska, down to Haines Alaska (A must drive) then back home in Oregon. It was a great trip.

@user-fk2dm5oy9f Месяц назад

I remember Tuk from watching the TV 📺 show, Iceroad Truckers.

@tombuckley4600 Месяц назад

Hey Brad can’t wait till the videos start popping in for this trip. Looks really cool!

@CreepToBeast Месяц назад

Making the trip in August, would love to know more about your route and those campsites you found.

@agnevarez Месяц назад

O my goodness the water is going to be cold and amazing 😊

@akbooman Месяц назад

Being a veteran of several trips up and down the Alcan Hwy, you guys have had super good luck with weather!! When it is sunny it is a super scenic drive. BTW- winter time drive can be an adventure!

@RoamingGladiator Месяц назад

Sounds like you need to do the Pan American if you want that remote adventure!

@daledurham7353 Месяц назад

As always, thanks for your Sitrep. We did that trip in August 2010. Of course, Inuvik was the farthest you could drive then unless you drove on the river. At the Artic Circle marker we were in a zero visibility snow storm. We saw several bears in the Cranberry bogs eating the berries. We saw Caribou herds also. FYI, just across the Yukon River in Dawson City is a very nice campground. The ferry trip there and back is fun! We spent one night at the commercial campground in town to shower and do laundry but moved across the river the next day. Stop at the little museum on the left side of the road close to the Ferry Crossing of the Peel River its very interesting. I had an article published of our trip in Toyota Trails magazine.

@joerghallbauer6595 Месяц назад

Thanks for the sit rep! This trip really sounds amazing. Stay safe, and I hope those ferry’s are open when you arrive tomorrow.

@TrailRecon Месяц назад

Thanks! It’s been an amazing experience!

@ronaldwilton7150 Месяц назад

Your adventure has brought back a lot of memories of our trip up there. Unfortunately we didn't drive up, so we booked a train/bus tour. Flew to Anchorage, went to Denali, then to Fairbanks, then to Tok. Supposed to continue by bus to Dawson City but they had a road wash out. They flew us into Dawson City Airport. Stayed a night in Dawson City. Took a tour up the Dempster Hwy. Took the Klondike Hwy to Whitehorse. Took the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway narrow gauge train to Skagway (the route the miners in the Klondike Gold Rush took between 1896 and 1899). Boarded the ship and toured Glacier Bay, then down to Vancouver to fly back to California. The trip of a lifetime! And as you said, the beauty of the Yukon and areas are incredible!

@bwofficial1776 Месяц назад

Things sure are different up there. The Gladiator looks like it's in its habitat but I really like the Ram too.

@johnwojcik977 Месяц назад

Watching this on my TV now and you're talking about the Dalton hwy and Prudow Bay, Kevin and Sarah went and Alaska is incredible!!!

@advancedscarecrow Месяц назад

I don’t know who are Kevin and Sarah but you are right about the dalton highway. I live here. Hehe

@hadarfineart Месяц назад

After coming back on the Dempster from Tuk, and lots of rain, my vehicle was covered completely by a layer of fine mud. It took almost an hour in Dawson City to kinda clean it off with a not so powerful, power wash. Make sure to get some Muktuk in Tuktoyaktuk. Btw, saw caribou and musk ox off in the distance but unfortunately not up close. The museum in Inuvik is worth a visit.

@sorenmelchior Месяц назад

If you are thinking about a detour to Alaska on the way back south, take the Taylor highway from Dawson to Tok, as the views are spectacular. And if you swing by Fairbanks feel free to give me a shout for day trails you could explore.

@TrailRecon Месяц назад

Gonna meet up with my wife in the way back so no detours.

@djp1234 Месяц назад

Dempster highway is more scenic more of the time than the Dalton highway, but you definitely need to put both on your bucket list.

@jameseroh6544 Месяц назад

My wife and I have in our fleet a 2018 Ram 2500 4wd 6.7L with a 4Wheel popup camper. We just started pulling a '23 JLU for little side trips. We will probably make the same trip once I retire. My wife is already retired, and I cannot let her see this video. Or the retirement pressure will increase.

@pmurphy12667 Месяц назад

full size is the way to go!

@blakewilson7616 Месяц назад

We just got back from Fairbanks. Some of the same roads we saw all kinds of wildlife the bear count was 28 great trip.

@antischematicphiloso Месяц назад

Watching guys live the life I'm gonna live in a few years after retiring.

@chadgraber4575 Месяц назад

Great vid and update. Keep the beard.

@derekheuring2984 Месяц назад

I spent the first 46 years of my life living in British Columbia, never drove the Dempster. Now that I'm close to retirement and living in Texas my wife and I are considering driving to Tuk. We'd like to tow a medium sized off-grid travel trailer and would like to hear from those who have gone before if they think it's feasible to drag a trailer along.

@KirbyLouis Месяц назад

15:43 your idea of dirty is very cute

@TaleOfTwoIdiots Месяц назад

I love seeing one of my favorite RU-vidrs get so enthused about the highway that was, for us, the high point (thus far) of 10 years of road-tripping and trail-crawling in a Jeep.

@prorallyfreak Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing this amazing trip with all of us! Drive on!

@mandbhomestead Месяц назад

Great video, hopefully the ferries are moving again at the time of the video. I have an off topic question- how do you get the patches to stick to the headliner in the Jeep or any of your other vehicles? Thanks for the videos and stay safe. Ken

@GlenHarding Месяц назад

Hi. I did that adventure a couple of years ago. Just amazing. I strongly suggest that you return via Chicken , Alaska.

@blueman5924 Месяц назад

is that the route’s last leg ? or does one just wing it from there ?

@wandering_arizona Месяц назад

We just did the Dalton highway last week. We are planning on driving the Dempster next. We hear the Dempster is more scenic. Prudoe Bay is cool to experience but it’s kind of an anticlimactic end to a very expensive journey. Especially since you can’t legally drive to the Arctic Ocean. I really think the PanAmerican highway northern terminus should be moved to Tuktoyaktuk

@HONORYOUROATH Месяц назад

Yukon Ho! Keep an eye out for Calvin and Hobbes.

@AndrewMcDonald Месяц назад

I have always wanted to drive the Dempster Highway!

@cjleon1104 Месяц назад

Let that beard you got going to the end of the trip Brad

@scottsnyder8691 Месяц назад

Dawson City "kinda famous for gold mining" 🤣 One of the greatest migrations of humans in history - to the Klondike gold fields.

@darrellsmith4647 Месяц назад

Brad, did you air down for the Dempster? If so how much, Thanks

@ronanderson5736 Месяц назад

Awesome trip so far! Has to be a great time! In regards to your big horn sheep sightings! When I lived in San Diego I took a drive out to Anza Borrego in the spring to see the flowers and over to the palm trees, I saw quite a few big horn sheep there! From what I heard that is a common sight! You guys stay safe out there!
