I WILL NEVER FINANCIALLY RECOVER FROM THE ALEXANDER MACKENZIE GREASE TRAIL!

  • The Alexander Mackenzie Trail destroyed my Jeep Gladiator! After 10 days on the most historical trail in North America, my footage and my jeep were GONE!
    This was the last trip I took with my 2020 Jeep Gladiator 6spd manual. I traded it in for a 2022 Gladiator Ecodiesel. Perhaps another run of the Alexander Mackenzie Grease Trail is in the future!

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN OFF ROAD ENTHUSIAST TO APPRECIATE YOUR AMBITION
    This video should have at least 1 million views.
    Why?
    It's not only remarkable what your team accomplished.
    It's not only breathtaking - the journey.
    It's not only a worthy endeavor.
    For people, pessimists included BUT others who dare to do something great but lack vision,
    lack a guide of sorts
    and who cannot see the forrest through the trees ( no pun intended )
    this valuable endeavor is a statement to the world...........
    NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
    I appreciate you and your team,

    Wow! I really like your story on this trail. You gave us a lot of detail and even though you lost some or maybe a lot of your video footage. You had enough to give us a really good feel for how hard you all worked. It reminded me of the Lewis and Clark expedition in the US for challenges and strenuous labor. Alexander MacKenzie would have worked just as hard as Lewis and Clark based on what I saw you guys having to do to get the trail open. Congratulations. And thank you for sharing your story. I won't ever be doing the trail, myself but this was the next best thing.

    bummer that you lost so much footage, but still a great job on capturing the essence of the trip, particularly the extended time with the saws, and the drone shots are great. Took me back, we went through there in 2000. Our trip was eastward, we started at Gatcho Lake but on the eastern end we got crossed up and exited before Kluskoil, ended up in Nazko. Well done!

    33:08 The exact reason why I wheel with old technology-which still isn't perfect. MY TJ still has a computer but the worst I ever seen is the check engine due to the O2 sensor.

      A clear indication of click bait would be not many views. Because people would click it, see that it's not what the thumbnail and title says, and then leave. UA-cam would see that as a video not worth pushing. This is my most watched and highest retention video ever, so I'm curious what part of it is click bait? We're you expecting to see the truck float down the river? This was it's last trip, because of this trip. Could have repaired it but I didn't. Upcoming videos will show why. Anyways you got a long answer for trolling. Appreciate the comment! Cheers.

      @@UnwindingRoads Nice of you to take the time. I think your definition of what click bait is, is too content creator focused. To us normies the fact you state that you will never recover from this financially is clickbait. You do you. You knew that off-roading can go bad, and everyone that plans this trip knows that the trail is often overgrown and flooded. So I am certain you knew that this was a possibility going in. People stayed and watched (me included) and subscribed to you more than normal to support you. That is the human answer to why it has great numbers and retention. Nothing to do with your misguiding title. That and everyone likes drama, clearly you too. Otherwise, why so salty about my comment.
