    Dude I gotta tell ya... The quality of your videos is simply incredible. I mean it's full-on big money documentary quality. To say you put a lot of effort into these things is a gross understatement. I'm sure your making a ton of people in meeting rooms have to listen to "why do you want all this money for your documentary when this guy from Canada can do it without it?!" Oh what a good man can do if left to his own means and determination.

    Something you might want to think about doing to your truck is adding a trailer hitch ball and or the receiver to the front of the truck given the narrow and rugged "adventure" driving you are doing. If you ever have to back up long distances and can manage to get the boat trailer around to the front you can comfortably and much quicker back up for miles if need be also there is a big benefit pushing a trailer say if you wanted to go down some narrow track to launch on a river or lake, the steering input immediately directs trailer direction and so precisely you could thread the eye of a needle so to speak. A real handy option/ability to have.

    Dustin: Hi from Calgary. OMG there are no words to express the magnificence of that. A bit disappointed to see all the human crap laying around. But I do realize it was a very active mining area and the word reclamation is not one in the mining companies vocabulary. As a climber I appreciate your ability to know when to say this is far enough when it comes to glacier and mountain travel.

    Wow ... Bear glacier has receded quite a lot since I was last there in 2016. I was in a Ford E350, 2-wheel drive RV headed to the Salmon glacier. Edit: For those unaware, Salmon glacier and the Granduc mine are both in Canada ... but that road must go through the U.S. to get to both.

    Right where the viewpoint is, a crew of us climbed up the hill across the road, and another snowfield was up there. Got to snowboard it back in the day. One of the best times of my life. That place is super-cool. Thanks for bringing back good old memories.

    Couldn't help but think about those 55 gallon drums and the human waste on the top of the ice. It was refreshing to think though that one day nature with all it's power and resilience will grind away all that human kind has made a mess of.

    Great video Dustin! That debris is from equipment we had on a joint venture expedition at the start of climate history in 1981. We were investigating putting the ice back on top of 90% of Canada and Alaska and part of the northern lower 48 USA to correct the climate.
