Thanks. Much appreciated!

Thank you so much for your comment. Really appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the spampeeders had a look at every stream and river between Dyea and Dawson City. Don't know if anyone found anything along the way.

Before you get too carried away, be aware that camping is not allowed on the US side of the trail in 2024, apparently due to flood damage in past years. Sounds like the best you could do on the US side is a day hike from Dyea to Canyon City, and back to Dyea. That's going to be a long day! www.nps.gov/klgo/planyourvisit/permits.htm#:~:text=Note%20for%202024%20season%3A%20Although,prohibited%20for%20the%202024%20season. You may hike the Canadian side, from Lake Bennett to the Chilkoot Pass, but crossing the Canada/US border is prohibited in 2024. Don't even think about crossing it. Now, with respect to best time to hike the trail, we were there in early July, and the snow had melted everywhere except from the top of the pass to Happy Camp. On the plus side, we hardly had any mosquitoes. Some friends of mine did it later the following year. All the snow had melted. It was a lot warmer and there were plenty of mosquitoes. Seems mid-late July would be the best time, but that's based on a single experience. The park rangers probably know better than me. With respect to bears, we didn't see any (we were plenty loud!), but other hikers saw some. The trick is to not have or consume any food in or around your tent. Use the food lockers and only prepare and eat your food in or around the shelters.

@@LPB2008 Thanks for the in depth information. I did not know the Trail was closed between the two countries in 2024. If I was & illegal I could come into the USA without thinking twice sadly! Yes, later in the summer does seem to be a good time but you can see the rain percentages go up as it gets later in the season. The area that I would love to see is from the Canadian border to Happy Camp. It is really beautiful in that area, wet, cold & open to the sky. It looks like nowhere else on the trail? I watched your film a 2nd time & enjoyed it just as much. Excellent job, again, Thank You!

Glad you liked it.

i was actually looking for a video of someone who climbed it but it's not the same as those days they climbed ice with 100 pounds on their back several times

Vielen Dank für diesen schönen Kommentar. Sehr geschätzt.

I'm going in 2 months for that very reason. Gold fever is real. I am driving 6000kms from Ottawa and have my full outfit. 🙃

Wow, that's awesome! Saw lots of adventurers in Dawson City. Also looking forward to doing long and adventurous road trips in the future.

This is a great story! Thank you for sharing.

I’m guessing you’re talking about Charles Berry? He went on to have more than one fortune made by mining and in the oil business, if I’m correct. What a treat to have that diary!

Glad you liked it!

Happy to hear you enjoyed it a second time. Sadly, I still have to work to put food on the table, so I haven't had time to produce new videos in a little while. I suspect RUclips is not suggesting my videos anymore because the number of views has fallen down significantly and suddenly. Hoping to find time in 2023 to create new content again.

Glad you enjoyed it!

There is a phone number for Canada's Border Services Agency that you have to call as soon as possible. You provide you passport number, when and where you entered the country, and they create a record of your entry. They give you a record number back that you have to hang on to for a year, in case your entry is ever questioned.

@@LPB2008 Thanks for the information. It was a well put together video and enjoyed it. I might do this hike next year.

Glad you liked it!

Totally agree!

Glad you liked it!

Glad you liked it. We only had sun on the first day. The remaining days were overcast, but hardly any rain. It was also relatively cool. We have friends who did it the following year. It was hotter, and buggier!

@@LPB2008 I remember being excited to get to happy camp, then it was freezing cold haha... I would love to go back and do the hike again.

If you have pictures of your ancestors, you may be able to match them to individuals shown in the pictures in this video, but given the quality of the pictures, I would say it will be a stretch.

Thanks. I'm no professional movie maker. Just captured what I thought would be interesting and put it together. Glad you enjoyed it.

This is a fantastic story. Of the people who have commented so far, you are the one who has done it the farthest back in time. Did you see a lot of artefacts back then? Did you see air tram pylons still standing?

@@LPB2008 there were a lot of artifacts including old boots and even gloves, even an old pair of leather pants, but I don’t remember anything about the pylons.

There was a Cessna plane crash on the right hand side of the mountain as you got to the base of the pass climb. We walked around the wreckage. I later looked the accident up on a database years later.

@@howmanable Cool!

Excellent Question!@@LPB2008

Historically, that's what the stampeders preferred too!

Heureux que vous ayez aimé. Sincères salutations.

That`s awesome! I read a book from someone who did the trail in the 1990`s, and she said there were loads of artefacts back then. Do you remember whether there were any air tram pylons still standing?

@@LPB2008 Not that I saw, but loads of other stuff. The people on the trail were really interesting. There was a woman whose greatgrandfather went to the Yukon to set up a bar. She was carrying a symbolic bottle of whisky with her. She hurt her knee on the pass and a couple of young guys made an extra trip back to carry her pack to the top for her.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. While sourdough is commonly seen in Yukon, particularly in Dawson City, you seem to refer to something more specific. What "Old Sourdough"?

@@LPB2008 Sourdough is a title you earn when you live through a Yukon winter. I managed 2.

Glad you liked it. Share it with your friends!

@@LPB2008 when i make a few, i WILL!

Glad you liked it. Any pictures of the Sasquatch?

I'm sorry, I do not know the answer to that. It would be a very long ride (700+ kms).

@@LPB2008 imagine what a ride would that be! Once in a lifetime experience!

Hello Tom. The trail overlay is the track from my GPS. I imported it into Google Earth. Is your talk about the Chilkoot Trail, or some other location? I think you can easily find the Chilkoot Trail by searching for Chilkoot Trail GPX or Chilkoot Trail KML on the Internet. You can probably find it on AllTails or GaiaGPS. Good Luck with your talk!

@@LPB2008 My talk is on the trail which I hiked in 2004. Amazingly, it took 4 days and was sunshine with no clouds the entire time! The border guard said that in 9 years of being stationed there she'd never seen such weather. I am lecturing on an Inside Passage cruise in August and one of my 4 talks is on the Chilkoot (I'm a bear biologist from AK so the other talks are easier!) I'd like to recreate your GE flyovers... nicely done! But the trails I've downloaded are not great (like they track right across the middle of Bare Loon Lake (!) which won't work. It's a royal pain trying to do it but I can...I just was hoping you'd found another source. All trails doesn't even have it (which was surprising) all the way, just to Finnegan's Point, which I found strange. I could swing some sort of 'deal' for your animations perhaps? Again, great job! I'll be recommending everyone watch it.

@Tom Smith. You may use my existing animations if they are going to help you. I could copy/paste them into a contiguous video of animations. If that will work for you, then no problems. But I would not modify them. It does take a fair bit of time and effort to make new animations.

@@LPB2008 Sounds good. Send them along however you see fit. Would save me a ton of time. I hiked the trail in less time than putting this $@#! powerpoint together is taking!

@@tomsmith1454 Ok, I'll put something together for you over the weekend. Cheers!

They sure were!

Glad you liked it.

It does take a bit of preparation and planning. But well worth the effort. Wish you get to do it some day.

Totally agree. Certainly one of the high moments of my life too!

It's definitely changed a lot since I was there though but still a grind

Well, if you enjoyed it, share it with your friends. Thanks!

I used a GoPro Hero 6 Black, with a FeiyuTech gimbal. I had managed to attach the gimbal handle to a backpack strap, so I had both hands free to climb the Chilkoot pass.

Awesome! Glad you liked it. Share it with your friends!

Yes, Jack London is very much a part of the Yukon and gold rush fabric. I have not read his books, but my better half read a couple of them.

@@LPB2008 İ suggest that read the books man.Probbly You would read that books from more realistic perspective as a man who saw that places.Greetings from Turkey to you🇹🇷.

@Teshime Ku İt's nice my friend.

@@LPB2008 Please read "The Call Of The Wild"! Buck the Dog-Wolf discovers his ancestors gentically by being in the forest. His eyes and senses see, hear and he awakens to realize the Wolf-Dog brotherhood he belongs to and comes from! Fantastic Book! I never thought of it as a kids book as it has been labeled. It is one of my favorite books of all time. I have reread it many times again over the years and will do so again, love it!

Yes, there was a heat wave in Skagway!
