    I think this may be the most significant video you guys have ever put out. I mean let's be honest you take us to mind blowing places but this is literally once in a lifetime of once in a lifetimes. You two are delirious in the most exciting good way. To watch you guys act like a pair of kids the night before christmas is a fresh change to the channel.

    Definitely one of your best videos! As Kevin was doing shenanigans on the Arctic circle, I chuckled to myself wondering what the original owner would think of this. He just sat on it in his garage, meanwhile you guys are taking it out on these insane adventures. Maybe he made a few grand on it, but these adventures are priceless.

    Fantastic trip , I can't wait to do this trip this summer . You had to deal with cold , in the summer it's insects , black flies , mosquitos , and the roads , if it rains a lot , well , they turn to a mud mucky mess , and with the trucks flying past , it's a whole other set of issues to contend with . Still can't wait 'cause like you said how many people do this and travel this remote . There is so much to explore in the north of Canada , and it's all pristine and absolutely beautiful .
    Last year I did the Trans Taiga trail in Northern Quebec , you wanna talk remote , when you hit the end of the Trans Taiga at Caniapiscau you are 750 km from the nearest town the furthest you can get from a town in North America on a track ,an absolutely beautiful feeling to be that remote , and a bucket list acomplishment for sure. Did it solo in my awesome built for overland travel Tank green 2 door JK , what a trip AWESOME!!
    Cheers Wild Bill , overlanding the North of Canada 👍 . Never stop exploring!!

    I remember one night the northern lights were really active and there were colors other than green and it was so beautiful I started to get cold. After spending years working outside everyday saying you were getting cold is a way of saying you were way too distracted, dangerously distracted.. It was so beautiful and unusual to see colors other than green I will cherish the memory for the rest of my life.

    Did you guys drive through Grand Prairie? I’m curious, cuz this is the farthest north, I’ve ever driven into Canada. Have fun, and be safe!! I had a Close call driving through, and that’s exactly what happened to me, what you guys are describing! my left tire got caught up in a snowbank, next to you know I was in the middle between the two lanes.😮. It was a bit scary thank goodness nothing happened, I engage my 4x on F350 truck and pulled myself through nice and easy, i did have cellphones, but no reception. Talk about being in the creek without a paddle lol. went back on my way home it was -40 or so.
    PS we used to deliver RV’s fifth wheel, and pull bumpers, from Elkhart, Indiana, all over the US, and Canada.

    I worked building the, Dempster Highway for 4 years in the early 1970s. You didn't really see bad weather or good northern lights. There might be a blizzard @ -40 degrees with 50 mph winds and there might be northern lights in 4 colors sweeping rapidly across the entire sky. Better luck next time. ❄️👍

  • @JustinKingOffroad

    so i take scout troop kids camping up to -30, mainly cause any colder than that and we waste too much gas letting trucks idle randomly. at least in CO and you previously knew, most anti-freeze is only good to around -35 ish. but back to my point, if you can tolerate 0, you can tolerate -30 cause (again here in CO) there's very little moisture in the air at those temps. the snow is squeaky and powder dry. some of the most miserable camping i've done though was in November, at +25 overnight. But it was 45 during the day and lightly rained for about 2 hours. 95% humidity and 25 degrees was brutal. Couldn't get warm in sleeping bags due to everything being saturated.

      Yes I agree about the wet cold vs dry cold. I went to Oregon State and one winter I visited my cousin in Boulder and it was 5°F for a week. I covered everything up and was able to get warm. Went back to Corvallis and it was 45°F and I was colder than when I was in Boulder.

    I was stationed 4 yrs in North Pole Alaska ( Airforce), been on 60 below for weeks, and snow over 4 feet in my yard. But a dry cold is a lot different from the lower 48 cold. But the Chances of frost bites goes up. Northern lights are amazing to see in person. I'm glad to see they enjoyed frozen snow and ice roads. If anyone gets the chance to visit, try the bald eagle run in Haines Alaska. There's nothing like seeing an eagle catch a salmon or fly upside down holding one.
