My dad took a trip to Alaska and fell in love. He wanted us to go together and he wanted to move there. He died before either happened, so I’m loving this Alaskan vid series, to see some of what my dad saw. Maybe some day I’ll visit.
My father also fell in love with AK, so much he bought a house in Girdwood... He passed and the house got sold, and I really miss that Mountain and area!
As an Australian I wished me and my old man had done a trip around together. He'd been basically everywhere but I still haven't been to 3 states and I'm 40 now. Keep in mind, the USA has 50 states, we have 8 and including Alaska & Hawaii we're over 70% the size. My home state is close to 1.5 the size of Texas and has a population of just over 8 million whilst Texas has 28. Takes a long time to drive anywhere :)
I got to tell ya, as the proud owner of an F-150 myself, your truck's reliability has been impressive with all the miles and places you've driven it. Rock on man!
@@MRMV483 I have a 2018 F-150 with the 5.0V8. I don't think he's ever mentioned it but from the sound of his truck on video, it sounds like the EcoBoost V6 to me.
The Dalton highway is exactly how the Alaska-Canada highway (the Alcan as us Alaskans call it) used to be back in the 80's when I first drove up to Alaska. All dirt and gravel with semis flying past throwing rocks at us. Everyone used to build these huge screens that we would bungee on the front of the car to deflect the rocks. It was really ghetto and funny looking but it was worth it to save he windshield. I once drove up from Washington state in December and there was so much snow. We drove around this lake in the Yukon at midnight and it was a full moon. Everything glowed white with all the snow and I felt as though I was driving on the moon. It was the coolest experience. I've driven the Alcan 6 times, 3 times in the summer, once in the fall and twice in the winter. It's always amazing and I'm so thankful for experiencing it back when it was super remote.
Alaska is one of my favorite places. I’ve gone 7 times and never tire of the beauty and the people are great. I’m so glad you are having these adventures while you’re young. Thanks for taking us along, Mav.
I remember taking a ride up the dalton highway and just as a tip, the truckers up there all use hand-held radios to communicate with each other and they all use channel 19. Hope I’m a help! Have fun your trip! 👍
They were probably talking to one another on the radio, noting with glee when they saw the pretty guy in the white F-150 pass by. I'm sure they were all fans and viewers, just like we are.
Here I am, up at 2:45 AM, and yet again being inspired by good ole Mav to drop everything, buy a truck, and take that thing everywhere. You’re a big inspiration Mav!!
You know Mav you are like a little brother to me. I like checking up on you and becoming enlightened with your travels. You are a great guy that has an infectious smile and a great ability to tell stories with the best editing. I used to work for NBC and I know how to tell a story with visuals and sound pops. You have had some experience or you are a natural. I love your parents by the way. Take care and keep on trucking
ive been to the alaskan arctic circle once, its definitely anxiety inducing at some points but i wouldnt mind doing it again, it was an amazing experience.
This is definitely at the top of being one of your best episodes and quite intense! As a mom this one had me on pins and needles. What a great adventure! You be safe and can’t wait for next week’s video. 🙂
@@mistiburke6564 I was nervous when he got to the road turning into mud. Also was worried about him talking about driving til 9 in the dark on that sketchy road. Was so glad he pulled off and then ate that bird. 🤦♀️
Hey Mav. So happy you showed the Alaska pipeline… my cousin and her husband lived in Valdez for years . He helped build that pipeline and they loved that time in their life, saying it was one of the best places they have lived! I’m going to let them know about your channel! What a trip that Dalton Hwy is, those pot holes made me so nervous 😮! Ok Mav , let’s do this…..I have my coffee in hand , blanket wrapped around me and ready to “Keep on Truckin”
As I sit here the day after my 4th chemo infusion, this video is the best medicine. So breathtakingly beautiful, soothing, and relaxing. This trip couldn’t have happened at the best time for me. Thanks so much for driving through a state I’d always wanted to visit. Love all your vids.
Once again Mav takes us where we have never been before. And at 72yrs old, I will doubtfully never see in person. Thank you for the armchair adventures you take us on. Kudos on 2million plus subscribers also. 🌈🐲💖
I love the fact that you shoot all of this in super high quality HD, and then snap pictures of the scenery with a disposable camera. Really love the content. Keep it up!
Mav this video was too sick, everyone is routing for you, and I can only imagine how the stress levels get when making such a rural trip around the globe. I hope you make or have made it there safe, cheers my dude
Same. Found Mav during a really bad breakup and found solace in watching his videos. It’s so awesome to see where he’s gone after just the 2 years I’ve been watching him.
Hey mav, Decklan from northern British Columbia here. Camping out in Kamloops B.C while I attend school. You inspired me! Cheers, watching from the trailer 😎
Those white reflectors on the Dalton highway are so that you can see where the road is in the driving snow in the winter when you’ve got 5 foot snow drifts on each side of the road
I know you upload on Sundays, but I love my Mav Mondays. This whole trip has been some of the best content you've put out. That nice family outside of Edmonton, seeing Steve Wallis, driving the entire absolutely stunning Alaska-Canadian HWY, RV camping and fishing with your parents, and now a gorgeous Arctic expedition featuring a roadkill meal and a cliffhanger ending... this is all high quality entertainment man. Can't wait to see what's next.
You inspired me to take my first solo trip. It was 3200 miles from Houston to Big Bear lake in California and back in 4 days. No hotels. And cooked everything from my truck. Great experience can't wait to take my next one.
My ex and I once went from MO to SD, saw My Rushmore and the Badlands, Custer wildlife loop to Spearfish (gorgeous camping), up to MT and the battlefields at Greasy Grass, across to Yellowstone south to Green River, West and saw Cheyenne and Laramie. Can't remember how far the journey was but we took 2 weeks and only got a hotel in KS because it was too dang hot to camp. Otherwise only camping. Wonderful trip, I semi repeated it years later when my folks moved to WY, but not camping. Imo
Hey Mav, was born and raised in Alaska and on the Yukon this time of year the most targeted species would be anyone of the 5 Salmon species (not keeping King Salmon because of the decline in population though), Burbot, Grayling, as well as Trout and other whitefish species. I would highly recommend trying go fishing for Halibut and Salmon while your there as its the best you can get in the world, the trout and pike can get quite monstrous as well. The over the road reflectors are for winter when the snow is that deep so you can know your still on the road. Keep up the great work!
@@the2ndcoming380 I have kept King salmon in the past but as there becoming increasingly rare I do believe it to be smart to put them back to spawn so future generations have the opportunity I did. Ill never forget hooking that 62 pound king on the Kenai with my grandfather or the white meat king I hooked in Seward, but as time goes by even in my short 24 years I've seen a massive decrease of kings to the point I don't find it ethical to keep them unless for survival. To each there own, though I'm not in charge of peoples decision making haha. Have a good one!
This is a dream trip of mine! Alaska isn't called the Final Frontier for no reason! It's so beautiful and I can't wait to experience this myself. Also claiming the bird meat was completely normal bro, and you left the rest for a passing critter. Love ya brother. So excited to see what's left of this series! ✌️
new subscriber and love this channel. I'm middle aged and really needing to find myself and clear my head and thinking about taking a month or two on the road and planning my trip now. thanks for the inspiration!
You are beautiful, MAV. Seriously!!!!! Seeing your face as you stopped at that River above the truck stop. It made my heart cheer. And laugh. And wish I was experiencing it, too. (I kinda did). Much love! ❤
Great road trip for all of us to see. Ice road truckers were fantastic shows and now you are showing us what it really looks like..very well done. Love your adventures.
I love all your vlogs, but I do believe that this is my favorite so far! Absolutely beautiful! Way to salvage the bird too! Living your best life! Keep on Truckin’!
I’m a project engineer an absolutely dread working every day. I always feel some type of way whenever I watch Mav’s videos. Your definitely enjoying the best life
hi, Greg;s wife here, just watching this video, WOW what beautiful scenery, there's days I would love to get on the road with our daughter and just drive, you have more guts then us! love your videos, keep on truckin! Jodi
Awesome seeing u going on the Dalton highway! I was there Feburary this year and it was an awesome trip. Definitely difficult but we pulled it through with a 2wd rental. All kinds of issues happened I won't bore u with the details. We stayed at brooks camp when in Prudhoe Bay, u gotta visit there they've got the most friendly and helpful staff there. They work 12 hour shift and they still spent a lot of time after working helping when our car won't start. Btw, internet is blazing fast there too. Oh and those poles along the side of the road is for blizzard, we drove the last 70 miles to Deadhorse in blizzard with literally no visibility. Trucks can use them as guide and we just followed trucks to get there. Otherwise we'd be in the ditches for sure. Have fun and u gotta go there in winter again, completely different views!
Can we all just admire the fact that Mav still uses a WIND UP CAMERA to take pictures of the mountains.... while using an Iphone to film parts of his episode. Classic.
@@bobharley2814 I’ve always loved how film looks rather than digital, might be the never knowing if it’s a good picture till it’s developed too! Mav gives me hope that one day I can take a trip like this myself!!
Been a follower since you bought the truck and you and Hannah built the original bed/camper setup. Got to say that this is my favorite adventure of them all. Where next in 2023?
Summer camping is fun, but I always enjoyed the adventures of winter camping also! I definitely miss it though. Haven't been winter camping in years.. need to get out one time!
You're awesome Mav. I had to drop a comment to help the algorithm. I sit alone in my apt bored every day with real no reason to be. I'm rarely challenging myself, rarely stepping out of my comfort zone besides professionally but internally complaining about life and work anyway to just myself. Something about the freedom and the life that your made for yourself which no doubt is way harder than my every day is just so relaxing to watch. I love the content and your whole attitude and approach to life. I am a whole lot older than you yet can learn so much from you my man, much love.
Hey Maverick, that was an awesome video. The mountains and the scenery are so beautiful you always take us to amazing places whether it’s California on the West Coast or down in Mexico or up in Alaska or in Canada so much fun be safe. ♥️✌️🏔️🙂👍
I did that drive to Prudhoe Bay 24 years ago in a 2 door Pontiac Sunbird that the person I was hitching a ride with had bought just two weeks prior. It was quite a trip and the car performed like a champ (it was a Minnesota car). We saw a lynx, caribou, and amazing northern lights. Really enjoyed this episode!
My guy!! I worked at the camp you passed when you went over the Yukon river bridge. And then you went to Coldfoot to get your food, that guy who took your order was Craig. Really nice dude!
Was just here last week. Turned back at Coldfoot since I didn't want to cross the pass in October, and you can't go all the way to the ocean anyways. Stayed overnight in Coldfoot and watched the aurora with all the stars. Once in a lifetime experience
A great episode Mav. From the Alcan hghy to the Dalton. Your indeed a survivor and skilled at the challenges you undertake. I want you to carry on and be safe. Maybe you will get to have lunch with some ice truckers. Cheers Mav!🏔
it’s always a good day when Mav uploads. thanks for sharing your adventure with us and filming all of it ❤ also, crazy skills and judgement there to see that the bird can still be eaten + fillet it lol GOAT.
You inspired me to snag a F150 for my road trip after seeing how reliable yours is. Really pleased so far, and what a comfort on the road too. Keep givin' er bud
This might be a stupid question but how do you get your phone to continue working when you cross canada and Alaska borders? I haven't been to Canada in years but I remember when I used to go. I would get crazy roaming charges.
Another epic video Mav, nothing like fresh road kill for dinner. Video's like this is why your channel is growing so fast. Anyways you stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
Just about caught up with watching all your content. 6 months ago hadn't heard of you, now my favourite thing to watch. You mention that you're socially awkward but so impressed with your travels. You come across very naturally, put in such a lot of work so really pleased for you that you're making a good income from UA-cam and have so many subscribers. Looking forward to your future adventure x
Eva zu Beck's video from yesterday is from the exact same location and destination...that would be an epic meetup! Your truck looked pretty clean at the beginning, not so much at the end 😁 Spectacular scenery and adventure, continued safe travels!
There are several UA-camrs all doing this trek at the same time. I've been watching about 5 (including Mav). It would be fun to see them pass each other by on the highway or meet randomly in a video
I don't think anyone realizes that his oil light just came on and he's in the middle of nowhere. hell of a cliff hanger for the next time for Mav to tune in. hope everything goes well
I lived in Alaska and absolutely love the Dalton Highway, all the way out to the end, especially the Atigun Pass.. I spent the night at the Artic Circle a couple of times.. I saw a herd of hundreds of caribou out there once.. They ran right down to the road to the little creek that runs beside the road.. I used to go to the Chena Hot Springs alot.. It's an awesome place.. Plenty of boondock camping on the way out there.. I love this series of your trip to Alaska. I drove it from Tennessee a couple of times. Also took the ferry from Whittier to Bellingham Washington once.. It was fantastic!! One of my favorite places in Alaska is Valdez and the drive on the way to Valdez.. There's a great place at a fish hatchery to see stellar sea lions, otters and Grizzly bears.. The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center near Girdwood is a great place too.. I love love love Alaska.. Especially during the Autumn and Winter.. One day I hope to move back.. Thanks for taking us along.. Be safe out there on the road..Oh they fish for various trout and Dolly Varden there.. Also the Ptarmigan is the Alaska state bird and their very aggressive, they will chase you.. lol
Made me smile from ear to ear .when you stopped picked up the bird. Was up at silver island lake by tofte mn doing a little grouse hunting. I found two fresh grouse hit by logging trucks . There is nothing wrong with road meat .we find a few every year. As long as the meat smells good ,chow down.👍🐓🚛
one of the most Alaskan things i've seen in a while - eatin some roadkill next to a crystal clear river while its lightly snowing in the arctic circle ! love it makes me want to drive north from Seattle right now!
Congratulations! You drove me Dalton highway, two separate female vanlife people drove the Dalton, one on June 21, the other was ? I can't remember and noe you, Maverick! Northern life is a harsh environment for sure. I was created and raised in my isolated community, I love it her in north central BC, Canada 🇨🇦 We have adapted to the lifestyle, welcome to living in the north.
Right on man glad you made through the Yukon canada I’m from the Yukon nice country hey,from a small community along the Robert Campbell highway to Watson lake all dirt road through the Campbell highway
I installed those over the road reflectors. They are called “delineator’s” and they aid trucks to see the sides of the road when they are covered in snow and stuff at night. I worked every camp on the Dalton, to Proudhoe bay where I worked in DeadHorse on the runway for the State. Cold foot, Chandlar, 7 mile, Sag River, Jim Creek, DeadHorse. Was a great job, and met amazing people. Where you stopped for the night, I fished and caught an arctic grayling, and saw a ton of musk ox that kind of spooked me but they were real docile, Also you shouldn’t have touched the mud or got it on your shoes. They coat the roads in Calcium chemical for dust mitigation, it dries the skin out and eats your shoes. I had a pair of boots shrink around the steel toe so tight I couldn’t get a foot in. Also for “breasting” the bird, not sure if you know the Alaska method? Spread the wings on its back, place a foot against the body standing on the wings, grab a leg in each hand, and pull strongly. The bird will invert and you will be left with nothing but wings and a bare breast. It’s a trick! I messaged you on your socials but you haven’t seen it, if everyone could thumbs up my comment so he can meet me next time he passes through my state, I’ll show him some spectacular places to make content.
Another day of Gert and that wonderful feeling of someone squeezing my throat. Well I'm off to rest. Sleep is something I haven't enjoyed in a year. Be safe everyone I love all of you ☺️👍
Just two months ago i commented that you had 2.9 mill subs and deserved it all, and now you have 2.15 mill !!! it’s so crazy how fast you’re blowin up I can’t wait for the future of this Chanel ❤
Sneaking in the “keep on truckin” to the guy at the truck stop made me smile. Thanks for letting us be a part of your adventures, Mav!
Same! I paused to find a comment about it. That was an awesome plug. I’m glad he took advantage of the opportunity to sneak it in.
the way he smiled and laughed after saying it too😂
racist bs at 20:01 had to unsub why are all white people like this?
I missed that part and had to rewatch because the UA-cam captions has it as “investors keep on drugging” 😂
Same I replayed it 3times and check the comment section if I am not the only one who noticed it😅
Cleaning the bird was admirable and is a very cool survival skill. Too cool!
Right broo he just gets cooler 😎
fr
Serious respect for Mav. Dunno why he’d expect judgment. I agree it’s admirable.
Jeff dahmer ???
Mad respect! My only thought was the lack of restrooms if he happened to get sick from the bird. Lol

The short poles indicate snow height and the edge of the road for the grader's to clear.
Been a follower since you bought the truck and you and Hannah built the original bed/camper setup. Got to say that this is my favorite adventure of them all. Where next in 2023?
Summer camping is fun, but I always enjoyed the adventures of winter camping also! I definitely miss it though. Haven't been winter camping in years.. need to get out one time!
You're awesome Mav. I had to drop a comment to help the algorithm. I sit alone in my apt bored every day with real no reason to be. I'm rarely challenging myself, rarely stepping out of my comfort zone besides professionally but internally complaining about life and work anyway to just myself. Something about the freedom and the life that your made for yourself which no doubt is way harder than my every day is just so relaxing to watch. I love the content and your whole attitude and approach to life. I am a whole lot older than you yet can learn so much from you my man, much love.

eat mushrooms
Makes my day alot better when Mav post a video. Keep on Trucking Mav!
Mav, another great episode!! I love your adventurous spirit. Thanks for sharing your awesome trip with us!!
Rode the Dalton several years ago on motorcycle. It is a beautiful part of the country.
9:56 that still better than Canada hurt my soul a little bit! Great video
Maybe those over-road reflective signs are for when the snow gets really high
It's Sunday local time Scotland its 7pm and chill binge with some mav videos 👌👍
Hey Maverick, that was an awesome video. The mountains and the scenery are so beautiful you always take us to amazing places whether it’s California on the West Coast or down in Mexico or up in Alaska or in Canada so much fun be safe. ♥️✌️🏔️🙂👍
I’m all for the African bush. Namibia. Desert. But the cold makes me very unsettled. It amazes me how you are so tuned into the cold.
I did that drive to Prudhoe Bay 24 years ago in a 2 door Pontiac Sunbird that the person I was hitching a ride with had bought just two weeks prior. It was quite a trip and the car performed like a champ (it was a Minnesota car). We saw a lynx, caribou, and amazing northern lights. Really enjoyed this episode!
Mav cleaning the bird was a power move. True alpha behavior
Some good eating. Make a good soup.
Alpha behaviour ? Get out of here with these crap. Let us enjoy in peace
Only betas think they're alphas.
@@galadriel-shire lol
alphas don't exist in the wild
At 14:34, did you notice the blood spatter on his windshield? Yeah, a truck did hit the bird. 😂
Not the oil light! Never a dull moment with Mav!
My guy!! I worked at the camp you passed when you went over the Yukon river bridge. And then you went to Coldfoot to get your food, that guy who took your order was Craig. Really nice dude!
No other youtubers can make me feel happy Mav . I really love watching your videos !!
Sundaze call for some Coffee n Mav ☕️
What an epic drive! Gotta love those fall colours 👌🏼
Great content man ❤️💯
I have never questioned you….until you picked up the bird off the road lol 😂
Was just here last week. Turned back at Coldfoot since I didn't want to cross the pass in October, and you can't go all the way to the ocean anyways. Stayed overnight in Coldfoot and watched the aurora with all the stars. Once in a lifetime experience
A great episode Mav. From the Alcan hghy to the Dalton. Your indeed a survivor and skilled at the challenges you undertake. I want you to carry on and be safe. Maybe you will get to have lunch with some ice truckers. Cheers Mav!🏔
Please STOP being a fraud. Yup know what your up too. 😡
mav is just the most wholesome dude on yt
Man your an inspiration for all us! Keep on trucking, im getting my own van this year to do the same 🦅bless you from Spain bro
An Alaska road trip is on my bucket list. This definitely gives me some ideas. Thanks Mav!
Woow Woot! Glad you go to visit Alaska, I've lived off grid up here for 8 years now. There's nothing better
Yesss love me a new Mav video 🔥🔥🔥
Stay safe man!
it’s always a good day when Mav uploads. thanks for sharing your adventure with us and filming all of it ❤ also, crazy skills and judgement there to see that the bird can still be eaten + fillet it lol GOAT.
Golf in Alaska is one of those bucket list things you should do if presented with the opportunity! You should definitely play!!!
« believe it or not, my truck is a Canuck » 😂🇨🇦 Loved it Mav awesome! 👌🏻👏🏻🫶🏻
You inspired me to snag a F150 for my road trip after seeing how reliable yours is. Really pleased so far, and what a comfort on the road too. Keep givin' er bud
This might be a stupid question but how do you get your phone to continue working when you cross canada and Alaska borders? I haven't been to Canada in years but I remember when I used to go. I would get crazy roaming charges.
Another epic video Mav, nothing like fresh road kill for dinner. Video's like this is why your channel is growing so fast. Anyways you stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
Just about caught up with watching all your content. 6 months ago hadn't heard of you, now my favourite thing to watch. You mention that you're socially awkward but so impressed with your travels. You come across very naturally, put in such a lot of work so really pleased for you that you're making a good income from UA-cam and have so many subscribers. Looking forward to your future adventure x
Definitely can’t wait for the next episode!!! Stay safe out there Mav!!
Peter Santenello
YOU NEED TO COLLABORATE WITH HIM DUDE !
Eva zu Beck's video from yesterday is from the exact same location and destination...that would be an epic meetup! Your truck looked pretty clean at the beginning, not so much at the end 😁 Spectacular scenery and adventure, continued safe travels!
There are several UA-camrs all doing this trek at the same time. I've been watching about 5 (including Mav). It would be fun to see them pass each other by on the highway or meet randomly in a video
@@ShadyClown007 Oh really? That's awesome! Agreed, hopefully we'll see some fun crossovers.
I'm officially very jealous of this dude.... What a life he is living
I don't think anyone realizes that his oil light just came on and he's in the middle of nowhere. hell of a cliff hanger for the next time for Mav to tune in. hope everything goes well
Yeah seems like not too many people noticed. Hopefully it's just low oil and he has more with him.
There was a whole shelf of Mobile 1 at the truck stop! I’m sure he’s smart enough to carry extra oil coolant and gas on a trip like this.
I lived in Alaska and absolutely love the Dalton Highway, all the way out to the end, especially the Atigun Pass.. I spent the night at the Artic Circle a couple of times.. I saw a herd of hundreds of caribou out there once.. They ran right down to the road to the little creek that runs beside the road.. I used to go to the Chena Hot Springs alot.. It's an awesome place.. Plenty of boondock camping on the way out there.. I love this series of your trip to Alaska. I drove it from Tennessee a couple of times. Also took the ferry from Whittier to Bellingham Washington once.. It was fantastic!! One of my favorite places in Alaska is Valdez and the drive on the way to Valdez.. There's a great place at a fish hatchery to see stellar sea lions, otters and Grizzly bears.. The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center near Girdwood is a great place too.. I love love love Alaska.. Especially during the Autumn and Winter.. One day I hope to move back.. Thanks for taking us along.. Be safe out there on the road..Oh they fish for various trout and Dolly Varden there.. Also the Ptarmigan is the Alaska state bird and their very aggressive, they will chase you.. lol
Made me smile from ear to ear .when you stopped picked up the bird. Was up at silver island lake by tofte mn doing a little grouse hunting. I found two fresh grouse hit by logging trucks . There is nothing wrong with road meat .we find a few every year. As long as the meat smells good ,chow down.👍🐓🚛

I have faith in you Mav. Keep on trucking. Stay focused. Enjoy the adventure. Stay safe.
Mav I'm gonna try and travel like you, I am 30 n got another camper truck. Your a true inspiration. God bless🙌
one of the most Alaskan things i've seen in a while - eatin some roadkill next to a crystal clear river while its lightly snowing in the arctic circle ! love it
makes me want to drive north from Seattle right now!
Congratulations! You drove me Dalton highway, two separate female vanlife people drove the Dalton, one on June 21, the other was ? I can't remember and noe you, Maverick!
Northern life is a harsh environment for sure. I was created and raised in my isolated community, I love it her in north central BC, Canada 🇨🇦
We have adapted to the lifestyle, welcome to living in the north.
Right on man glad you made through the Yukon canada I’m from the Yukon nice country hey,from a small community along the Robert Campbell highway to Watson lake all dirt road through the Campbell highway
DUDE. THE ADVENTURES YOU TAKE ON ARE AMAZING. IM GLAD YOU DO THIS! GLD I SUBSCRIBED 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome trip man I'll put this on my bucket list. Thanks for taking us with you..
I installed those over the road reflectors. They are called “delineator’s” and they aid trucks to see the sides of the road when they are covered in snow and stuff at night.
I worked every camp on the Dalton, to Proudhoe bay where I worked in DeadHorse on the runway for the State.
Cold foot, Chandlar, 7 mile, Sag River, Jim Creek, DeadHorse.
Was a great job, and met amazing people.
Where you stopped for the night, I fished and caught an arctic grayling, and saw a ton of musk ox that kind of spooked me but they were real docile,
Also you shouldn’t have touched the mud or got it on your shoes. They coat the roads in Calcium chemical for dust mitigation, it dries the skin out and eats your shoes. I had a pair of boots shrink around the steel toe so tight I couldn’t get a foot in.
Also for “breasting” the bird, not sure if you know the Alaska method? Spread the wings on its back, place a foot against the body standing on the wings, grab a leg in each hand, and pull strongly. The bird will invert and you will be left with nothing but wings and a bare breast. It’s a trick!
I messaged you on your socials but you haven’t seen it, if everyone could thumbs up my comment so he can meet me next time he passes through my state, I’ll show him some spectacular places to make content.
Another day of Gert and that wonderful feeling of someone squeezing my throat. Well I'm off to rest. Sleep is something I haven't enjoyed in a year. Be safe everyone I love all of you ☺️👍
Just two months ago i commented that you had 2.9 mill subs and deserved it all, and now you have 2.15 mill !!! it’s so crazy how fast you’re blowin up I can’t wait for the future of this Chanel ❤
Lol. “Nothing wrong with a little road kill” I love it!!! Nice job Mav!!
