I really like this channel. You don't have some $300 thousand off road vehicle with sponsored gear and equipment like too many of these UA-cam channels have now. Your videos have an honest, real quality to them that I fully enjoy and appreciate.
Money don't make the man. Motivation wins every time.
Exactly right! I used to watch a guy that truck camp and always advertised something. I haven't long subscribed here love it.
The difference between Tim and everyone else is he would be doing this anyway. He's just filming it to show us. Everyone else wouldn't do it if they couldn't post it to UA-cam.
Not yet
Yeah, he's got the proven 7.3L diesel (I remember the first turbo diesel 7.3L I drove at the ambulance company I worked for in the 1990s). He is all about functionality.
Even with some modern conveniences its still "survival of the fittest"👍👍
Didn't you say you seen Bigfoot some where?
While plowing thru lowered frozen trees, Timmy still manages to selfie stick some video. Unreal.
Hi guys, I have to admit this is the most fun I’ve had going along with anyone. It was really exciting. I’m sure glad you made it safely. I was worried for a while . You guys are great fun to go along with. Thanks I really enjoyed it. See you next time..🙋🏻♀️🙏🥶😮💨
No idea how your videos came my way but I'm so happy they did! Timmy your goodness shines so brightly, and I am loving that you're letting us tag along on your adventures. Mesmerizing actually!
Epic adventure, thanks for taking us along
You worked so hard to get to that cabin! It's easy to overlook the fact that while you were cutting fallen trees in your path and navigating snowmobiles through water, you were also capturing these experiences to create a video for us...a whole other major task...thank you, Timmy!!🎉👏🏻
Hi Timmy! My husband and i are Seniors who really enjoy your videos! As a Mom this video had me really worried about your safety. Thank God you finally arrived at your cabin. We have some thoughts that would be helpful:
Please show viewers on a map where you are going, especially these remote places. 2nd- please tell us what time of day it is and temperature throughout the video. 3rd-please make a video of this same route in the summer so we can see the terrain in clear weather.
4th- Thank you for your videos in Alaska. My father was stationed in Anchorage on his last tour in the military. He was a big hunter and outdoor guy and would have enjoyed your videos. Sadly he passed away in 2014 but is buried in Arlington National Cemetery as a war hero. My sisters and I went to Anchorage in 1971 and is was amazing.
Thank you again. I can see you work very hard and are extremely smart and skilled in your survival knowledge. God Bless you. Please be careful.

to be fair, you kinda have to be able to exist on your own in alaska. Safety isn't really a first priority because its a way of life out there.
I dont understand how he didn’t flip the trailer while loading this snow mobile
You can't always show viewers where they are because they edit and upload videos after the fact, sometimes days after. Also There are crazy stalkers. :) Happy viewing!
Holy crap. I know wearing helmets isn't mandatory, but it sure helps. Keep your head warm when you're wearing one. When I was snowmobiling, I never went out without one with a balaclava underneath it
A snowmobile helmet is a million times colder than what he has on. Not to mention they aren’t doing any extreme riding by any means. Better to stay warm over staying “safe”
Im a South Texas Spanish American who's true happiness is fishing the warm Gulf Coast. I have absolutely have no desire to copy your amazing Northern experiences, but I cant stop watching your adventures??? Great job friend!!

ممنون دوست عزیز آمریکایی اسپانیایی.

You enjoy the process
@@krshhbadi9877he’s referring to Gulf of Mexico. Not the Persian gulf. Nobody dreams of that place.
The transmission in your truck is a E40D. There are 4 gears and a locking torque converter. The brake light switch sends a signal to the trans so that it knows to release the converter. You're still in top gear (4th - Overdrive) but with the converter unlocked, it's just working like an old school trans, that didn't have a locking converter. The trans will run warmer (no problem in Alaska, not even in summer) but it will run higher rpms and use more fuel. It was well worth the effort to fix your short in the trailer wiring right then anyway, just so you didn't use more fuel than you needed... and had working brake lights for traffic.
The chainsaw is running good, but you should carry a small screwdriver with you along with the bar wrench, so you make adjustments to the carb on the fly.
Here, all you had to do was turn the I screw (idle) up, just a touch and it would have stayed running once started. (The I screw, unlike the other two, doesn't effect the air/ fuel mixture, so you don't have to worry about harming anything, if your unsure what your doing.)
He has an aftermarket transmission I believe
As if he doen't know what his vehicle has?? LOL
@@mohunter68 He said it wasn't going into 5th gear. A common misconception of a torque converter not locking. Not everyone (most people) know the name of the transmissions in their vehicles. E (electronic) 4 (gears) OD (overdrive).
And most people don't know the difference between a gear change and the lock up of the converter either. To most, it just feels like another gear (especially if it's got a shift kit in it, like I run in my diesel trucks, both w/ this trans.)
@@gagegruenhagen4299 It would still be an E4OD (4R100 w/ mods to convert it back) - 4 speed trans w/ locking converter.
The ZF-5 is a 5 speed that came in these trucks, but it's a manual trans.
@@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism thanks bro i lernt something today. much appreciated
Tim!! BUY a New Down coat/jacket already!!! Then wear a lighter jacket over it for protection, when your ripping through the woods!!! Your patches may be badges of your adventures, but its time to put that coat out of its misery!! Sentiment and budgets are all well and good. But survival is king. Buy a new down coat!!!
Those drone shots gave me chills, just wow
Can I give you a hint about your first aid kit? Borrow or buy a cheap vacuum sealer, and seal the contents in plastic bags (except a pair of cheap scissors, to cut the bags open). The bags will stay sealed indefinitely and the contents won't get wet even if the kit gets soaked.
I’d use multiple small bags - one for gauze, tape, and bandages, one for ointments and creams, one for pills. That way you don't need to unseal the tape if all you need is a Benadryl or a couple of Aleve.
What s trip. Awesome!
Not sure what it is, I'm already writing my response. haven't even watched it yet. you found your calling. I followed my dreams my whole life. 54 now. 30 years ago, I was you. Rock on buddy!!
I’m a snowmobiler and outdoors guy . Have watched hundreds of UA-cam vids if not thousands . This is by far and away my favourite vid ever . What an epic adventure and breath taking scenery my friend . Loved every second of it . Keep it coming !!!!
2 suggestions, helmets, and folding saw, for shit you don't wanna get the chain saw out for, and when the damn thing won't run. Helmets to take branches, keep your head warm, etc.
We bring a few battery powered saws, Makita and some Chinese one. As long as the batteries are fully charged they seem to work pretty well.
The snowmobile has got to be one of the most abused machines on the planet. They are rode hard and put away wet and for the most part are left out side. But it never fails to amaze me that they will start up on just a few pulls on the rope. In the coldest weather and run like there’s no tomorrow.
I feel like this video should have a million views
Timmy, you do live the life.❤❤❤❤
Dang that websto heater/block heater is gonna be a game changer for your engine life and not getting stuck in the some of the remote places you go..Rigth on bro. Safe travels
I've seen them on heavy equipment like yarders, but this is the first one I've seen on a pickup. I would've had one years ago if I knew about them. Uses like a gallon every 10 hours, and I think you can turn them on by wifi a half-hour before you get going.
@@brumac44 They are common in Norway, so I would have guessed the same for Alaska.
Even tiny vehicles sometimes have diesel heaters.
@@brumac44 Are they really effective tho? i mean it warm up the coolant but the oil is still cold so im wondering
Coming from a Snowmobile family myself
I miss these times. My Grandpa and all the guys in the family all had one. We would go out in the middle of night. To watch the stars. And be on the trails. Those were the days❤❤. Thanks for bringing us Mr. Tim. I just ducked down when U were going through those trees. LoL.
Awesome Kimberly:)
Man i get that belly felling when you know your in no-mans land ! God i love the outdoors ! this is true FREEDOM !
I'm such a empath, I'd be closing my video and finding those disgusting traps... some people are sick. Fun video, definitely made my lungs hurt all those trees needing to cut and go around. Yikes.
"well, if we make it out there at all, probably something crazy"😁 That's my kind of adventure.
Gosh! That was huge work to get out there. And to film in the same time. I am speechless. Thank you so much for taking me along guys.
Watching from Italy. We get sunny dry winter without snow❤🎉
Timmy, we think it's time for a new jacket. We love your channel ❤
The bed of the truck as a trailer is just too damn cool.
So much fun going on adventuring with you and Matt! Can't wait to see part 2!
I like how it was his idea to lock the hubs, but you still had to lock his side for him
Lol.
I installed dozens of those over the years at the Freightliner dealership. There is a few different brands and types and they are all good but for the sake of the comment you got the best one 😂. I also love your attention to detail and especially with your truck. Like I said being a diesel guy you are right on with the way you do things. I'm way too old to do anything like yourself but it's so nice to be able to see it at least. Ty for that opportunity. Finally and this is the most important part " Keep it rubber side down!"👍 🇨🇦 🔧
Catching up on your videos, this is the newest one and the last one.
To let you know when the glow plug light turns off, they’re not heating the cylinders anymore. To do it again turn the truck off turn it back on when the light comes back on the reheating the cylinders again. I’m just letting you know. 1,000,000 miles behind a 10,000 gallon propane tank starting it in 10° weather. You learn how to start a diesel in cold weather real fast.
The drone shots are amazing, such beautiful scenery! Great job editing and putting these videos together.
Your videos are the best and the only ones I genuinely look forward to watching. Stay safe!
The drone was a victim of the Alaska Triangle. Every time I watch your vids I'm amazed at just how huge Alaska is.
I don't think you mentioned his ski breaking down enough. 😂
THIS WAS ONE AMAZING ADVENTURE…dang Timmy you and your friend are so brave and determined. I had fun watching this!! 👏
Well....not sure if you're brave, or crazy! But appreciate bringing us along!
WTH...lol...I was ducking under the tree branches too! I guess that's good filming - keep everyone riding with you!
Me too, but I was thinking, please put on a helmet. I didn't have one for the first couple years I had a sled, and was always cracking my noggin on branches. I finally bought one when I flipped over the front and landed in a creek.
You weren't the only one. I was ducking and moving side to side while watching on my laptop on my bed LOL!
Hi Timmy! Alaskan here! Found myself without a home in 2 weeks. Selling everything to get a van for me and 3 dogs. Did my research and looking forward to it. Thank you for all of your experience. AK windshields lol
And just when I think I'm tired of all the BS on UA-cam I find a video of Tim and his many adventures. Let's Go!!!
49:55 when your filming the stars, one is moving
You drove by my house thanks for letting me see it I’m too old for the homestead now but I love to travel Alaska with you
Really?! That's so cool! What was the timestamp at the time he passed your old house? Just would be so interesting to see which one it is. And I was going to say "What are the odds!", but I guess in remote Alaska there aren't too many houses, so it might be more likely to happen then I initially thought! Lol
28:24 we're living vicariously through you guys so let's enjoy yourself hoorah!🎉😊
the fact you replaced your windshield for us is amazing.
39:53 this is why you should also carry a hand saw to cut trees and wood with! Get yourself a Silky saw! They're great!!
possibly my new favorite channel, The Alaskan wilderness and scenery our second to none I have a visiting, at this point in my life, it is an impossibility. But I can live vicariously through you and your buddies videos too. I’m a Poet.
Keep it Safe Out There Fella’s
Your channel is pure magic....it has the magic that just entraps me like I'm right there with you. Living the life I used to in years gone by. The sparkle on the night snow just brings it all back. This sounds corny and stupid but you are me only in a man's body, and way younger and waaaaayyyy smarter, but totally a match at the BEEF STROGANOFF.
One is none, two is one, and pack extra chain saw and duck tape! That was fun to watch!
I snagged my fully waterproof rain jacket on the train here in Chicago and was so bummed about the teeny hole. Wondered at first how you were so chill about your down jacket...until the patch reveal! Thanks for the entertaining vid!
Yeah right when you showed the stroganoff, I was like that's the best thing they make.🤗
Why did it take so long to stumble on your channel Tim? It was challenging the past few years to find great entertainment which in my opinion has to be educational. This channel is an A+. One Bite does not give 10's s so to be fair and leave some room in case, I give your channel a 9.1/10. The world is changing for the better but slower than I anticipated. I thought the normies were not as in haze as I initially thought. Some predict that we may have another decade or so before an Awakening to what is really been going on vs the mainstream propaganda mind program to really hurt us all in the end. That program did not and will not succeed. We passed all of that years ago. We are in the transition and are on the correct timeline. This does not mean that we do not get one hell of a happy ride along this journey. Thank you for what you are doing. Pro Human future wins
21 holes in my jacket. Love this kid
Man, I recently found your channel within the last couple months and wanted to let you know that I find so much peace in what you do and how you show it. Even when there’s bad situations, you’re always calm. Thank you and keep it up
Good to see another Sony Alpha man who knows his gear!
oh wow you can totally see how winter is losing its grip upon the land and spring is surrounding
That Wabasco diesel block heater is so cool! You cannot be stopped now, Timmy!😮❤
May I recommend a hand buck saw on each sled, they fold up tight and give you an option if no chainsaw, or for small trees.
I love this truck camper. I have a virtually identical Waldoch truck (no camper) up in Fairbanks, but you're definitely an inspiration for me. I have the same seats and wood trim and everything... when I saw this channel in my algorithm my first thought was "wow they finally perfected it!"
But, dude... don't fly your drone while you're driving! That's not okay on so many levels!
I bought a couple of military arctic sleeping bags. They were ripped in many places. Initially, I thought I would stitch up the holes. I soon switched to Tenacious tape. Wonderful stuff to use. Works like a charm.
BRP , world leader in FUN equipement 😉
Awesome video as always Timmy. This is a epic adventure even if things don't work the way you plan you'll have a story for later around the campfire. Duck tape and zip ties can fix all most anything.
So glad you got a heater, worth its weight in gold.
It really looks and sounds like the icing on my mother's Christmas cakes, she's generous with the icing 😋
Glad you got the heater. The sound the engine made starting well below zero was painful
Jeez ya'll are crazy as hell. At least you have your own cabin with a wood stove. Still hoping you don't freeze to death.
lol gas chainsaw sucks balls, I was laughing while he was cranking
You guys are freezing 🥶 your balls off out there. Long way to the cabin keep warm.
You should make that into a song “ I got 21 hole’s in my jacket “ 😆
😂I agree
👍
Your Hat!! I Love your Hat!!!❤
Thanks for taking us along. Really appreciate the effort it takes to film what you have to cope with going through the woods. The drone shots are spectacular!
Snow machine footage was epic!
Epic! One tool that may be worth carrying if the chainsaw gets finicky in cold weather is a silky saws katanaboy 500mm folding saw. I use one to cut down Christmas trees each year and it makes fairly quick work out of tree trunks and folds down to a pretty compact package.
I was so stressed out on that ride in! I had to skip to the end early to make sure you made it, then went back and watched the rest!
Bear proof windows...love it.
Can’t wait to watch this one. Greetings from Miami, Florida
I'm here in Clearwater! Is it just me, but I wanna make it out to Alaska?
Yay!!! You made it❤ That was intense just watching.
Just the thought of your altitude is making me breathless !
It would be cool if you have the shoot dangs playing on the roof deck when you get your house complete. Love the channel big big fan
Maybe one day!
this channel always has a really positive vibe
You two are a trip. Going up in the wilderness far from everything, but you both still need your fancy coffee and sandwiches. I look forward to seeing all of your new video's. No snow on the ground here Mn this winter and highs in 40's and 50's. So seeing all of this snow is nice...
Looking forward to this video! Cheers from Cape Breton Nova Scotia
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND SUCH FANTASTIC SCENERY
BECKY 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 XX
Love your drone footage, was gonna comment anyways, mishaps not withstanding! AUSGEZEICHNET SO WIE IMMMER!!
Agreed. The beef stroganoff is awesome. Great videos!
49:57 - You caught a satellite in the upper left area of the frame 🛰
That looks so fun!! Something me and my cousin would die for!
You have a Wonderful life it seems!! I love the channel and the Truck build is A+!!!❤ God bless Frank..Ohio
Ive done alot of off roading in the desert, this is another dimension!
Love the new windshield Timmy! Keep the great content coming.
Timmy...YOU ARE LIVING LIFE!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ❤ You do what only others dream of. I love watching you, and I live vicariously through you. I pray God's safety over you. Oh, and also,.....a darn good woman as well! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are awesome !
New windshield!!! 👍
That’s awesome storage in the truck bed under the snow mobile rack
My bearded dragon Chicken, has been watching this channel for 4 hours now. It's a cold day in CO so he's on his heating pad in front of the laptop just watching Timmy 💜💕I wonder what he thinks about 🤔
8:40 tell your friend, nice cabin.
Extremely exciting!
I recommend a silky saw and an ax, its quicker and more reliable than a chain saw in that temp.
Awsome video feels like Im there with you.
For sure he pulled his starter cord more than he would have pulled strokes on a hand saw. Been there.
Yep, Swede saw/bow saw and axe would deal with those trees in a hurry
So I just recently started to watch your content. Only because I visited Alaska a few years ago spend a week during Christmas in Kenai. And loved it. You do what some of us only wish we could don't think for me and my wife plus 2 kids could do this comfortably, so i live through you when I want to get away.
My man Foresty.....as always great video...keep up the awesome work and keep having fun doing it...
I can almost smell the wood stove. We heated our house with wood and I loved it.
