hello this was a very informative video thanks for sharing good job good job ,,,regards GJ
@@grumpyjamaican thank you.
Wonderful video. I'm too old to travel now, but this is like the real thing. Question: What is the song with the lyrics 'where the wild things wander' lyrics and by whom. I can't find it anywhere.
@@einerreklov4304 Thank you. I think the song is called Wander by Every Echo.
How can I get there in Alaska? I am a Filipino here in the Philippines
In October 1988 my wife, me and our 2 cats drove from Mississippi (just graduated AF Tech school) to Anchorage in our 1087 Honda CRX (small car). We drove up the Cassiar highway. No cell phones, no gps back then. Just our Rand McNally road map. It was awesome. Drove back to Washington state 6 years later taking the same route. Made it from Anchorage to Spokane Washington in only 3 days. Those were very long 3 days of driving.
Loved this, music is perfect. Done both trips many times. Thanks and cheers from Atlin
Do they also have a lot of diesel pumps at the gas stations?
@@JanitorZach-ij9hi yes they do
Thank you! keep learning thx 🙏🏻
Thank you. Just back from Tuktoyaktuk (the Dempster Highway), can't wait to return to the North toward Alaska this time. Terrific video, great advice, God Bless.
@@jpschaefer thank you and safe travels.
Great information. Thank you for sharing.
Oops I lost my passport 😂
@@Troy-sn2hi oh no, hope you made a copy:)
I appreciate this video. I'm planning for Alaska June 2025. I have the milepost and most of the emergency kit items. As a new solo traveler this trip is a memorial trip for my husband who passed in March. Videos like this really build my confidence in driving almost 4,000 miles.
@@YazzieL90 I think it will be a very enjoyable trip. I made the video with my son in mind. He had bought a vehicle and drove it from Washington back to Alaska solo and I tried to make the video as informative as I could. Best of luck on your Alaska trip next year, let me know how it goes. :-)
very nice edition! txs good info thanks for the 10 tips we planned for two years and tag team drove the entire thing three people toke our time and did it in three to four hour stints! two spares on the roof gas on the roof flew back shiped the car sold it to a group that did the same thing. we built the car by professionals..;. we had a blast no rush drove with traffic all the way! 1992 that vehicle made two more trips ...modified jeep cherokee extended top! it had a bear cage built in the back for three people ....
If gambling is legalized here in Alaska, the crime rate will go up drastically and rapidly fast.
I really like your style of video. You have great information, and are straight to the point. Most of the videos I watched about this subject people are just trying to reinforce their own decision. I hope you keep posting videos about this subject. I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for your time
@@purcelljf1 thank you so much!
Great video...thank you for your great tips. One of the best tips was putting my husband's phone and my email on my screen saver as you suggested. What a great idea! I hope it won't be needed, but I feel safer now.
Thank you and glad the tips helped! Please let me know how your trip goes:)
Do it when you still can
thanks for sharing
Awesome !! Watching from Miami
@@Biker305_adv thank you!
Thank you for making this video 😊 I’m curious why cash was necessary. Can a credit card not be used in all the places you stopped?
@@dk1828 most times we didn’t carry much cash, but the time we did thankfully, is when the internet went out and gas stations only took cash in Watson Lake (rare but it can happen). A few days ago I talked to some tourists here and they said travelers need to be aware of Hwy conditions in Canada because of the wildfires and potential closures, such as near the area of Jasper. In AK, we had a near disaster on the Glenn Hwy mile 64, right before 4th of July, due to the river erosion in that area. They had to make it a one lane for a few days and Thankfully fixed it.
I hope there are no Algerian parking-ers in Alaska, you park you car and they expect you to give them money for taking care of your car. Plenty of them in Algeria, I really just don't want to see them in Alaska. I'm only kidding. 0% to find those people there, really 0%.
Is there any Algerian restaurant in Alaska where I can eat Algerian food.
@@الجزائراللهماحفظهاواحفظالامةال Sorry I don’t know of any Algerian restaurants in Alaska. Aladdin’s in Anchorage used to serve more ethnic type foods but they closed:( The other restaurant, Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Restaurant, is still open in Anchorage however, if you wanted to search their website and menu. If you like seafood, there are many of those dishes served in Anchorage and south of there. Hope this helps and please let me know if you find any place that you liked, so I can make an updated video. Thank you.
@@realalaskaliving Hi. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Yeah,I love seafood, I know there is a big variety of seafood out there, which is a good thing. Take care and thanks for your video.
What a beautiful place
❤❤❤ thank you from morroco to you
i know sid by side his name please
nice vedeo please if can tel me a name of music i love it khalid morroco thanks
@@amraouikhalid3525 Sorry I’m not sure of all the song names or artists. At the time, I used what I could find off a Musicbed subscription. Then I later canceled that due to the high price and use music from epidemic sound subscription or from RUclips. Sorry, wish I could of been of more help with the music info:(
Beautiful trip. Is that a restroom stop (@ 26:15) by the border?
@@davidtexas9009 yep, that’s the last restroom stop for about 2-3 hours, if you’re driving toward Alaska. Then there are restrooms at the Tetlin refuge area, or at the store in Northway (both on left hand side or else next restroom stop would be in Tok.
❤❤❤❤❤
@@jonathanbarone4708 thank you, much appreciated 😊
Drove all the way to Deadhorse from Montana in 2016. The roads (June) were excellent on the Alcan and Alaska routes. Only exception was road construction for several miles just south of Deadhorse; where many spring washouts were being repaired. Encountered many folks on motorcycles, bicycles, and one guy walking (not a great idea in polar bear country).
@@mtacoustic1 Thank you. Whoa a guy walking? Yep, that’s crazy. My sister worked at Kuparuk site years ago, said they’d get occasional polar bears coming up toward their camp, I have yet to see a wild one:)
Hello, thanks for the video! We're you driving during winter or summer season here?!
@@xktwnxl4zlx213 some of the video clips were from early May and the rest in in July. The most wildlife we saw was in May:)
It’s funny that the highway runs through Canada and no canadian calls it the Alcan ……that was an aluminum company in Canada …we just call it the Alaska highway.
@@chadleschasin2893 lol, yeah I hear most younger tourists in AK call it the Alaska Hwy but many older folks call it the Alcan still. I think the drive through Canada is the most beautiful drive:)
Great video! I appreciate the practical tips for the ferry and seeing the loading process as well!
@@alaska_nomad thank you:)
@@realalaskaliving I've been wanting to head over to Valdez as my wife. has never been over there... not sure if we would take our own boat first or the ferry first. We've been from whitter toward valdez more than halfway already.
@@alaska_nomad Valdez is beautiful, except I never like visiting there if it’s raining. Because our friends came up from WA and decided to do the ferry, then we decided to go too. Thankfully the weather cooperated. We didn’t get too close to see the whale, but I bet with a private boat, you’d have more options to see wildlife a little closer:)
Another great video! Thank you for sharing with the world!
Great video! Lifelong Anchorage resident here and have only been on the highway one time. It was fun seeing Burwash Landing where we were stranded for a month waiting for the car to get repair. It was 1962 so I am sure the repair is much faster these days!
The best alCan video……thank you
@@lennyracine9775 thank you:)
Very informative ❤ just what i was looking for
@@aftech7268 thank you
Thank you for sharing. Very enjoyable and relaxing. 😊👍🏽Appreciate the tips.
Thank you for the video. It was very informative.
Thanks for watching:) Much appreciated.
My brother and I drove the AlCan back around 1971; in those days the Canadian portion wasn't paved, but it was the best dirt road I have ever seen, although REALLY DUSTY. We kept looking for the fabled bad part and never saw it. The effective speed limit was what your car's engine could keep up all day long. The best kind of car for that was one with a big old V8 engine (not a flathead). By the time one gets a hard day's drive out of Vancouver there isn't much scenery; most of the way one is surrounded by skinny trees too small to get a board out of, but tall enough to block any view there might otherwise be. The highest point on the highway is near the tree line, so there is a bit of a view there. Lots of places to fish if that is your thing; I don't know about fishing licenses. I was surprised to see the poor tires on many cars and pickups headed south as we neared Alaska. It was definitely something to do once.
Thank you for such an excellent video. Just enough verbiage to be entertaining and, yes, informative. You did not attempt to describe each and ever sight to be seen. Please consider standing up more. My wife and I have been to Alaska several times. We do so enjoy videos such as yours.
Thank you. Much appreciated 😊💕
Thank you for the info !
I drove the Alcan in November 1970 in a 1970 ss396 with my wife

Gravel roads where even 10 mph is too fast, just awful. Summer 2024.
enjoyed your video, thanks
Thank you and I’m glad you liked it😊
What kind of vehicle are you in? We are interested in going and want to use something reliable/comfortable. Great footage ❤
I’ve driven that Hwy several times in the past ten years. I’ve driven in a 2WD regular car, an SUV and a truck. Thank you so much for the compliment 😊💕
Thinking about doing this drive with a Subaru Outback. Would such a vehicle be suitable?
Sorry for the delay. Yes, a Subaru would make it. Right now we’re seeing cars, trucks, motorhomes, motorcycles. Best of luck.
Great video. Thank you. Very informative. Beautiful nature all the way.
Thank you so much, truly appreciate it:)
that explanation about garmin, made me stop watching...
I'm from Whitehorse, Yukon. A great travel video my dear. Been to Alaska many times to visit friends and hockey tournaments in the winter. Northerners rule!
Thank you so much. And yes, agreed:)
Agree!!
Discovered your video by accident. Of all the Alaska/Canada videos I've watched, and I'd easily say hundreds, you by far have the most appealing. Just enough talking to make it interesting. We've been to Alaska 5 times. Your work is a real treat.
Aww, thank you so much. I greatly appreciate it!
