Someone needs to do a story on that man on the unicycle, man that is hardcore
Unbelievable
I met a dude unicycling that road in ‘08. Apparently, that’s A Thing.
he is looking for enlightenment
I went up to Prudhoe Bay on the Dalton Highway, also known as the Haul Road, in 1992. But my trip was out of Fairbanks on a tour bus with massive tires. Private vehicles were not allowed on the Dalton Highway in those days. We stayed overnight in Coldfoot and at Deadhorse which was the name of the town at Prudhoe. Calling it a town was a stretch! It basically served the oil workers and the handful of tourists that made the trip. Temperature at the Arctic Ocean was low to mid 30s with a wind chill feeling like it was in the teens. Oh, and this was the first week of July. Getting back to Anchorage was easy. There were regular flights out of Prudhoe. Our pilot did a 360 around Mt. Mckinley. It was quite spectacular!
the man riding a unicycle is an example of humans who take things to the limit lol wow is a understatement. the water alone would be a nightmare
Awesome! I motorcycled from Wisconsin to Alaska in 2009, and rode (2 up) the Dalton Highway to Deadhorse and back. Best trip of my life!
Michael Hasenstab I bet that was an adventure
What did you ride?
@@TSauce1 he rode a motorcycle
18:03 I thought some people are crazy in this world... But this guy in mono cycle is in a different level....!! 😀😀
Absolutely!
that indian dude is my hero
That indian dude was the manliest man dat day. Hope he had some form of protection from the bears.
amazing - out in the middle - of no where!
He just killed my fear of driving in dalton highway, which i will be doing next may...
hes an idiot
Now this is a proper Road Trip
Thanks for using the stock Jeep for your series. My Jeep will stay mostly stock, maybe a bigger tire at some point. I bought the niche Jeep Wrangler vehicle over others available for its out-the-door off-road capability. “Adventure light” bound to the desert southwest and Colorado mountains. Love your series; especially this Alaska one. ❤️
proper trip, proper video, not the 4-9 min ones
Cold foot to Atigun Pass my Favorite part of the Dalton Hwy.
Dalton hway will always be on my bucket list of driving trips. One day me and my 80 series will get up to Alaska all the way from Melbourne Australia and experience this amazing part of the world
i saw the guy on the bike at McDonalds in Fairbanks.....bad ass
Damn now I want to take a trip with my dad in our 2014 Tacoma up the dalton. Maybe I'll make that the last road trip we have before I move out in half a year.
Did you make the trip? And secondly, did you move out?
Never realized it before but Roman is one nerdy, dorky cheeseball.
Yeah but he’s far better than snarky negative piss-ass nathan
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Alaska...what is not to love about this video?
We live 25 miles north of Fairbanks. Love the state!
... a million subs later.... congrats TFL. As a dad with little kids, i love watching Tommy and Roman. Hope I have that kind of relationship with my kids someday :)
Wow just Beautiful thanks for a fantastic trip with you guys it was amazing.I love my Jeep.
I like TFL and I like the Jeep Wrangler.
I did the Dalton Highway in a Greyhound Bus. Have a great trip!
Always surprised to see how few views these MMUSA videos get. Clearly high effort high cost vids, I love em. Keep up the good work guys!
7:58 - Roman has left his kid Tommy behind lol
i have actually worked in Prudhoe bay and driven on the Ocean.... use to do security up there/ be a bear guard. never have driven the Dalton though, still on my to so list. they always flew us in from anchorage so i never got to experience it.
Here's a tip: in Fairbanks and Anchorage, you can rent rooms in dorms at the Univ of Alaska during summer. Nightly cost is about half of a motel room, and the accommodations are nice. But call or email ahead!
This drive is toward the top of my bucket list.
WOW! Tommy was quiet back in the day 😂 bless him
One of the best of the series so far.
+The Fast Lane Car Fantastic video. Though I'm a city kid, I thoroughly enjoy watching this series. The father - son aspect of this episode was really cool also. Keep up the great work. Stay away from the bears.
Lots of good advice, the radio will save your life sometimes on a road like the dalton.
I drove this in 2001 in a '94 Pontiac Sunbird LE. :D
I drove it in 2017 in my 78 Pinto.ua-cam.com/video/jQoumZP39Jk/v-deo.html
TFL Need more video like this! (Aug 2018)
I really LOVE the peaceful and relaxing music you guys put on your videos!!!
So has anyone found the box? That's the question for August 25th 2019
Ryan Hansell I was scrolling thru the comments to see if anyone else was wondering about that box where not that many people would probably go
@@tropiccalibackyardgardener6241 🤣 I actually Googled Motor Mountain USA TFL a few hours ago and they have a page that shows the people who found em. A few buckles are missing
"I've just crossed the arctic circle, and to celebrate, Tommy, I got you something very special! Check it out!"
Tommy: _...oooohhhh..._
This trip is on my bucket list.
You should go up Mount Washington in New Hampshire and put a sticker on. Not rock climbing, but still scary.
I need to do that trip again. Heck, I just need to move back to Alaska, I miss that place every day
Going to drive it in my new Titan diesel and been on my bucket list for years. Leaving Seattle around end of June.
Many many people make that trip on a motorcycle and camping along the way
Nice, I just got back from Alaskan expedition(NorCal to Prudhoe Bay and back in WINTER!)
1. The man on the unicycle is named Sid Rajan
2. The article on the miata is at www.topgear.com/car-news/adventures/road-trip-alaskas-arctic-limits-mazda-mx-5#5
good stuff 👍
I'm driving to atigun today.... has the belt buckle been found yet
Great series. Great show. Tommy, savor the day with your dad!
OMG i have learned to love our channel tonight. Fantastic video, epic adventure. I drive to Prudhoe Bay is one of my dreams.
A few questions:
1: What kind of Sony camcorder was Tommy using? Is it tape-based or flash-based? What kind of media does it record footage on?
2: What motor does the Jeep use? What transmission?
3: What kind of gas mileage were you able to get on the Dalton Hwy.?
4: Did you ever have to use the CB radio?
5: What did you guys do to keep entertained on this long voyage? Play music from your iPhone on the Jeep's stereo?
6: You must've recorded quite an amount of footage on a trip of that length. How do you storage and organize your media while on the road?
7: Having completed a trip like that, if you wanted to do it again someday, what would you do differently?
8: Have you ever posted a photo album on Flickr of any of these trips?
I'm surprised there isn't some kind of satellite phone service available, or DeLorme InReach Explorer Satellite Communicator.
So I want to know if those are rental vehicles? Most rental agencies have a clause in them here in Alaska prohibiting the use on their vehicles on the Dalton Highway. If it broke down the person has to pay the thousands in towing. If you wreck the vehicle you buy it. I have seen this numerous times working along this road for 15 years.
That was an exciting adventure.
Wow, ya don't get out much do ya?
Thanks for the Alaska videos. Thoroughly enjoyed.
I remember reading about this guy in the top gear magazine. Nice video.
coming from the TFL Truck side of your channel, I can see you kept the corny. but that's not a bad thing. this video makes me want to follow this series. grew up in a family who took road trips. as a dad now, I cant wait to take my family on road trips.traveling is one of life's great teachers imo. thanks for the video and idea for my own family.
You can rent 3 cars in Barrow which is further north, but you have to fly there.
I wonder if anyone fount that belt buckle 🤔
I have 2016 jeep Sahara unlimited and I want to take adventure like this.I wish I can join u guys where ever u guys go
I wonder if the belt buckle was ever found.
Many accidents are caused by driver fatigue. The days are long so one must take breaks.
28 tesla owners did it with model s with no problems
How were the mosquitoes when you were there? I heard they go crazy towards the end of the Alaskan summer.
Indians are always class apart....whoa! @18:06
Man, I just Google Earth-ed where the buckle is and it is OUT THERE. It is definitely not an easy trip to make. I'd wish that I could find my home state buckle and make that trip, but I doubt I can.
I want to do this trip so bad...
Perfect trip for hoovie's minivan
FLYING ROCKS from passing trucks are the biggest threat on the Dalton Highway = they crack your windshield like you wouldn't believe. You can get a LEXAN plastic crack-proof windshield for Wrangler jeeps, that way you don't have to worry about stone cracks if you live in that area and drive regularly on that highway. They are coated with something so they don't get all scratched like a non-coated Lexan plastic sheet would.
cool trip wish I went along
beautiful shots, best episode so far!
You should’ve also have Nathan follow you with a FH Cruiser in case Jeep breaks dow. 😜
Best mmusa episode!
poor Tommy looked scared out of his mind when you left Cold foot
A 12 guage shotgun makes getting thru Canada a peice of cake
Great episode, loved seeing it all, only saw it on Ice Road Truckers before covered in snow.
Man this is like the secret life of Walter Mitty... amazing. Makes one just think what is one doing sitting in front of a computer working from home every day....
I have some questions for you guys. 1) What part of Oklahoma did you guys travel through or to? 2) What are those white triangle signs next to the Atigun sign used for?
+Okie Rider Probably signs that say "Road may be icy." They have them before crossing bridges all over AK...but they fold them down in the summer.
An amazing trip. Thank you for posting!
If you want a similar experience, but a little more remote, wild, and cheaper, do this in Russia
Looks like your repeating this whole experience, stickers in the window for each state and all, with the ford electric
Great video guys! Keep doing what your doing!
Ha...Mr grizz sniffed out the belt buckle and carried it back to its den and gave it to Mrs. grizz
I really enjoyed this one. Great work 👍
Did Tommy get left behind at 7:55?
Great video and adventure! Thanks for sharing!! Safe travels! I want see how you get to Hawaii!
wow, this is an insane road trip man.
man,time flies tony is like 10 here :D and Romans hairline is rich :D
No body found the belt buckle right?
Awesome trip! It must have been hard to decide what footage to use in this one.
This video is a bit dramatic. I drove this in my Lincoln Town Car.
+Jacob6875 I watch it.
I watch a bunch of you tube R-Vision travelers that took it in various rvs including a van, a 250 and a couple class A Rv’s. 😄 Roman likes to emphasize safety, and it’s new to them and he has son with him, so I can’t really criticize
Don’t be a hater... Just let them share their own experience, you can share your Lincoln towncar adventure on your channel...
Who are you trying to fool?! A Lincoln town car is a tank!!
Cool story; where’s your video?
Any one find buckle ?I just drove all the way
I wish I could hit Like one thousand times. Nice job!
Great scenes
How is the Jeep holding up? Have you been tracking MPG's? Looks like a great adventure for father and son.
MADE SURE IT WAS IN THE SUMMER>>>LOL
Has the belt buckle been claimed?
For a trip like that. What would be a better windshield to get that won't crack / break??
Great video. Thanks!
Great trip!
bear spray works VERY well and it also works on any other animal
Love the Jeep!
Would love to know the route you took to get to Alaska (including ferry crossing).
Anybody ever find the buckle?
Roman never lets Tommy drive!
did lots of jeep videos myself, enjoyed yours
About how many gallons did you use altogether for the 4000miles
that dude on the unicycle....wow...
