    Although my fight was difficult, I never lost sight. Next year will be my last and I thank you for your videos this year keeping me entertained during my battle. They helped take me mind off my sitch and watch you glide thru hard sitches you put yourself in !
    I wish you the best to come, may all your dreams materialize and end in success Tim

    I had a 1992 F250 with the naturally aspirated 7.3l, although I added a turbo to it. Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Never failed to start on the coldest mornings as long as I replaced any bad glow plugs in the fall and replaced the heated fuel filter yearly. Great to see a 7.3 doing its job after all these years and inspiring the kind of confidence it takes to make a 2000 mile journey during the darkest coldest time of year.

      Why family were loggers in Newfoundland, Canada where conditions were always rough and sometimes Arctic like conditions. Over the years we tried, GM and Dodge, but Ford always prevailed hands down. No comparison. There is no small reason why in Canada for over 60 years straight, Ford pickups were the number one selling of all vehicles in Canada, cars included.

I am very career based and always have been and this battle has changed my mind of what really matters. Since this cancer road has started my wife and I have gone camping twice during the early stages and we plan on a lot more.

    Put a heater core in the camper so it keeps it warm while your driving. Include a separate electric circulation pump to take the rest of the heat from the engine after shut down. Mount the core with flexible hoses so you can place it on the wood stove in the morning to preheat the engine for easy starting.

    Literally an awesome, gnarly episode, Tim.
    I admire how you have planned for almost any contingency.
    The gumbo looked delish, and the reminder that “time is running out” was well received.
    I have a ‘99 F-350 with the 7.3L PowerStroke diesel. Not 4x4, but it does what I need it to do.
    Best of luck on your travels north.

    Gumbo is a favorite of mine so I'm going to try that recipe. The cookies probably made your truck house smell yummy!!
    My son passed away last year so the holidays are tough this year. The way you remembered your friend, Xavier, warmed my heart. It's like you take him along with you on your journeys. Xavier's life is not forgotten as long as his family and friends keep the memory of him alive. So, thank you for that reminder to all of us.
    Whatever you do, Timmy, please be safe on your journey. Happy Holidays 2023. ⭐

    Hey Timmy, you can make that roux for easier by cooking it in your oven. Start on the stove then transfer to 300* oven for around an hour. It's a lot easier to get a dark chocolate roux like this. Darker roux means more flavor and less thickening power.
    Anyways, I dig your channel. Some awesome adventures!

    You need some freezer storage containers and a cooler box you can strap to,your back porch, then put portions in the freezer boxes, you can make 5 or six with that volume of gumbo!
