The Dempster Highway is a 457 mile gravel road that connects Dawson City (Yukon) to Inuvit (Northwest Territory) in Canada. Add another stint between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk (completed in 2017 at a cost of $200 million C$) and you have the only way to drive to the Arctic Ocean in North America. We made the drive and had a blast doing it seeing great sights, doing a bit of field repair and meeting some amazing people. Join us for the drive.

Nice road trip my friend. I love these sort of videos that our generation make, where we don't have 16 tons of fireworks going off every five minutes or at the introduction come bounding down the stairs yelling "What's up you guys, boy have we got some amazing stuff to share with you". I like the road trip, the running repairs, the arctic circle, the gravel roads, the unexpected camera lady and your brand of just being straight with us. Top effort my friend.

Thanks for hanging out with us for a while and the very nice comment. I am glad you like them.

@bobw9297 Год назад

you are so lucky that you did not fall into a muskeg hole , when its wet and soft it can be extremally dangers , I worked up in that area and i have seen trucks and bull dozers vanish

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

Great point and you are totally right about safety. We should have mentioned that we tried to stay in an area the locals use for staging their snow machines, but not sure that is foolproof. But you are so right, situational awareness is so important. Thanks for sharing this. What did you do for work?

I chuckled at your comment when you assumed that motorcyclists don’t have a enjoyable ride. Hahaha. Honestly, I’ve rode up the Dalton Highway twice and Dempster one time on motorcycle. Yes there are gazillion of potholes and washboard but once we get past 30mph we don’t even feel anything at all. Then when I rode on a tour bus oh my god. The whole bus was shaking badly from the potholes and washboards going slow at 30-40mph. I would rather be on a motorcycle than on a pick up. But that’s just me. Thanks for posting the video. I’m planning a project of truck camper (building my own) and drive up Dalton/Dempster so that’s why I was watching your video.. but I wanted to do it in wintertime then I might stick around for snow to melt.

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 5 месяцев назад

Ya, I reckon you are right about he adventure bikes being pretty comfortable. When I did the Dalton in 2003 I did it on a Harley Low Rider so my perspective probably a bit skewed! Thanks for checking out the video and let us know how your trip goes, sounds awesome.

@metaxaanabeer Год назад

A few points to illuminate some of your observations. Everything is doubly/triply expensive up there and you can't dig a landfill into tundra and unless you are government you can't afford to haul it out either. So you get open air dumps. Caribou when they are wild, reindeer when they are managed but same animal. Muk Tuk is a novelty now but was indispensable back in the day to keep the locals fueled and healthy all winter. Big time fuel for the body. We've managed to be up there twice, well two and a half times and I'd go again but my wife is done, its less camping and more expedition, no? Thanks for a loving look into one of my favourite parts of Canada.

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

Excellent clarifications and I appreciate your comments. I assumed that was the case with the trash given the geography, sadly given the beauty of the place. It was a wonderful place to visit and simply see/experience/learn about their way of life. You are correct that it is more of an expedition and less of a camping destination although we did see a few dispersed campsites that were pretty appealing. On trips like that however I often prefer to stop in places like Eagle Plains to stay the night as we love to interact with local folks and other travelers to share stories and experiences, to me that is a huge part of travel. Thanks for watching and for the enlightening comment.

@richcoe9273 Год назад

The first time I ever saw the Dempster Highway was a couple of years ago here on RU-vid. It was Foresty Forest. What was absolutely impressive about that road trip was that he did it in the winter and he did it in a used minivan.

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

It is a funny thing that. The overland community is in awe of the road as if it some mythical beast to be overcome. The reality (IMHO) is that being able to travel to the Arctic is the joy along with the isolation of the road. BUT everyone seems to forget that there are people who live up there and need to get around, most in normal sedans or pickup trucks, not big overland rigs. With a good set of stout tires to avoid flats you could drive anything on the road as you pointed out. Heck most people just seem to drive to Tuk, snap their picture by the sign and then leave. I think this is a big miss as we stayed in town and enjoyed some great interaction with the local community. That being said it is a great trip and something I am really glad we did.

Great video! I just did the trip in the beginning of July, definitely better on the weather side for our three days, clear skies and didn’t drop below 55. We hit Glacier Nat Park in Montana on our way back to the Midwest. Got out with just a cracked windshield on my Lexus sedan. One heck of a journey for sure.

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

Thanks for checking us out. Ya a great trip and a wonderful area to travel. We did a night at Whitefish Video where we had a really nice campsite and the Glacier Park Kintla Lake Campground might be something that interests you as well-here are the links: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cfJRGdg_hB8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sScw1X6SQiE.html It is funny-our JK got a nice crack on our 2021 SW and West Coast trip but on the Dempster/Alaska trip we only got a small chip. We have not replaced it yet as we figure it is part of the routine for such travel!

@darrendavidsonoutdoors Год назад

That's awesome! I have those destinations on my bucket list. I noticed that steering wheel out of kilter earlier in the video and I thought; that's a newer Jeep, you wouldn't think it would go out like that. Glad you were able to fix it yourself fairly quickly.

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

The front end had just been rebuilt about a month before the trip and I am guessing the shop forgot their torque wrench when they put it back together...Thanks for watching

@mikestevens2053 5 месяцев назад

It always amazes me, how Jeeps can be such a rugged off-road vehicle, yet come apart under fairly routine road conditions. Our 1993 Toyota Hiace van took us up and back the Dempster without a hitch. He's right about the potholes once it starts raining: they are deep and jarring, bashing you just when you think it's safe to increase your speed. This video brings back many fond memories of our trip in September 2022.

@maxdexpeditions Год назад

I love the happy jeep scene 😅That campsite was a good find! Just remember, everytime we think we are roughing it out, don't forget the bikers 😂

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

Yes, those folks riding bicycles are minimalists for sure. We actually had a great chat with one on the Ferry who had ridden from Deadhorse to Haines and was bucket-listing a ride down the Pan American Hwy.

@PaulieDetmurds Год назад

Beautiful footage, makes me miss living in Washington State. But I do love Michigan! Looks like a great adventure! The Jeep is doing what it is suppose to do!

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

For sure, the Jeep was in its element. I too love the Northwoods and really do need to get up and see some friends in Traverse, maybe some ice fishing this year.

Canada, Alaska and Russia have many towns up north that are not connected by road. If only their governments would demand road connection for all towns.

Didn't expect the full campground at end of this episode. Was it a smaller campground or just a popular stop? Looks like lots of fun and enjoying tagging along!

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

It is a pretty popular stop that everyone we spoke to on the way up seemed to know. In reality it was not that large and (in my opinion) not really that nice but it was in a more mountainous area so there was hiking etc around.

@TravelingMaritimers Год назад

Great video, thanks for sharing this. This is a dream drive for us. What are your thoughts on towing a travel trailer on this route? Reasonable or ridiculous?

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

Great question. We met some folks heading up there before we actually got onto the Dempster and they told us their daughter (who lives up there for some sort of work) told them to park their camper trailer in Dawson City and not take it up the Dempster. I think it totally depends on the type of trailer but most are not really designed for such roads-I think tires might be the biggest issue and I have no idea how hard it is to change a camper tire. If you do pull a trailer up and avoid flats I think a nice slow pace and you could get it up there.

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Месяц назад

For sure a motorcycle is an entirely different beast on these roads. I did the Dalton in 2003 on a HD Low Rider and can attest it is a different experience.

@richardg6949 11 месяцев назад

Did you guys have to air down your tires at all?

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 11 месяцев назад

We didn't. We run 35" E-rated tires at 32 pounds and didn't have any issues. There is no need for traction purposes but if the ride is a bit stiff you might want to depending on normal road pressures you run.

It hurts my eyes to see how bad the alignment is on that poor Jeep. Cool trip otherwise, but that just kept buggin’ me.

@dickinaroundoutdoors8609 Год назад

You are so correct! It was getting worse as we drove. We pulled out the tool kit and corrected it that night at the campground. We had some suspension work done before the trip and it seems the shop forgot what a torque wrench is so the drag link was moving a bit-the Jeep drove great but the steering wheel was not lined up to center. I put a shot of fixing it in a video and brought up the importance of having rudimentary tools at a minimum.
