    One thing I like about Brad is he films the content he wants, how he wants, and it's no nonsense. He shows you the good, the bad. No clickbait. Not putting his wife in a bikini in the thumbnail. Just a dude doing what he loves and sharing it with us. Respect.

    20:47 there are a few of us that understand the sentiment of doing something that no one else understands. I rode a motorcycle from Florida to Alaska, furtherest we made it was cold foot due to road conditions. Being on motorcycles the danger factor is multiplied. People just look at you funny and say why would you do that. Making it to the Arctic circle was amazing and fulfilling. I am planing on doing the Dempster, but this time it will be in my Gladiator and my wife can go.

    In 2011 I went from ontario canada down to arizona and then back up through canada to the arctic circle on my motorcycle .A 3 month trip of a lifetime. You guys are having a great trip .have fun and be safe.

      @robwalker4548 4 місяці тому

      There were a lot of motorcycles on it when we were there. It is the dust I would not enjoy dealing with on the Dempster. The people that impress me are the ones that do it on bicycles which I would not want to do and I ride a lot of miles.

    I've not been able to drive for 6 months because of a seizure after brain surgery, but now I am two days away from driving my Jeep again, so I've been catching up on Brad's adventures. I just have a weekend trip to Yellowstone planned for the 13th-15th, but that is epic enough for me right now. Thanks for sharing all this Brad!

    Mary and I plus two of our longtime friends made the trek from Indiana to Tuk and we arrived 6/12/24. We also felt like kids after arrival. The moment of accomplishment was powerful. Saw some moose and a handful of bears on our trip. We are also veterans of the Sore Toe Cocktail in Dawson City. Enjoyed your video!

    What an epic trip. I took a team of British Army soldiers from Suffield to Tuktoyaktuk in the Feb/Mar of 2004. We spent 5 nights in the snow with the Canadian Rangers outside Dawson City and a subsequent couple of nights in Inuvik before taking the ice road to Tuk. Amazing scenery throughout the entire journey. Very different in winter though!

    One shining moment (actually many). Exceptional story line and videos showing progress from the US border all the way to the Arctic 'tip' and the experiences (ups & downs) along the way. The video was stunning, & the Dempster segment so memorable.A long way from S Cal. friend, but a good & joyous time, by you & your friend as you finally saw the ice, camped & walked into the midnight sun waters. The memory for you, will last forever. I'm very happy for you.

    Oh guys.....Great adventure. My brother and I drove the Dempster in 1979. I still have a book of matches from the Eagle Plains Motel, at least I think I could still find them, somewhere in my dresser....hahhah. For us, no ferry at the Peel River. Parked the trucks at the ferry approach, walked a couple hundred yards downstream (I could see the clump of trees in your overhead shots), and introduced ourselves to a family running a fish wheel. The son agreed to give us a ride across the river. On the other side, we, fortuitiously, were offered a ride on into Ft. McPhoo. Great little community at the edge of the world filled with extraordinarily friendly people. We didn't make it to the Beauford Sea, but our trip of a lifetime. It's interesting how little has changed in the last almost half-century.
    Thanks so much for letting us share in your adventure. Well done and be safe.

    We were up there just weeks before you and had to cross the frozen rivers! Due to a snow storm we had to divert once we got to INuvik. We learned they were about to close the rivers. On the way back the gladiator broke thru the ice just before the edge. Thankfully the front tires caught the ice and brought us back out of the water. Great series Brad! Loved the memories up there!

    Brad,
    What a trip and you finally made it. I think this was a bucket trip because it is truly the last frontier. The scenery, the adventure, and the fact that you got your shell back many years ago. Now master chief, you have your own version of Blue Nose making it to the Arctic Ocean, just not on a big gray boat.
    Congrats on a safe trip, and many more safe miles. Enjoyed every installment of the adventure.
    Gods speed , and flowing seas.

    I’ve Driven the Dempster all the way to Tuk in an F-250 with an Adventurer camper. But I did it in early March. And frankly I think that’s the time to go. Close to 12 hours sun, smooth (glare ice) road, easy crossing of the Pearl and MCKenzie. And no bears. No dist. No mosquitos. The downsides: it’s cold. Got down to -35f. So you better have a stout rig. Also it doesn’t usually snow that time of year but what is there can blow around resulting in no visibility

    • @TrailRecon
      @TrailRecon  4 місяці тому +1

      I'll bet that was a great experience and we considered doing it on the end of winter, but for me, I enjoy sitting outside and soaking in the environment, taking short hikes and if it's -35 I feel like I would miss some of those moments.

I feel like I've been there with you via computer screen. The scenery and drone footage is amazing! I was excited for you both reaching your destination goal. Back in the day this would've been a TV documentary with helicopters and you've done this all yourselves with drones. I have no doubt a lot of time/work went into the editing, but this is so well done. Congratulations to you both for sharing this incredible trip! I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it.
