I was at the finish line in Nome 2007 when he won the Iditarod rite after winning the Yukon Quest. And happen to see him in the Bar a few hours later shaking hands, passing out singed Iditarod cards and grinning from ear to ear. I gave my card to my son.
He is sponsored by them that's why he wears their stuff he even says it in the video. Canada Goose used to be just a normal everyday brand in Alaska before it became a high end fashion brand. Had two of the heavy duty ones issued to me in the oilfield and traded one for a Carhart jacket that fit better, think I screwed up on that trade.
You’re a socialist. A leftist with no sovereignty. The United States is the greatest country in the world because I can do whatever I want just as long as I follow the constitution. You’re a subject to a monarch, a sovereign. You have a fake government based off of the United States of America. Post ww2 the central banking system took control of colonial possessions and enslaved them
I'm a cross country skier that wears wacky clothes for the weather - whatever works to keep me warm, and not sorry if it is not fashionable. I like winter camping, snowshoeing, and sitting down in a snow-bound forest for a hot cup of tea. Even so, I only have an inkling of what it would take to win an Iditarod. I've met people like Lance - so cold adapted that they make Wim Hof seem like a surfer dude. What you are seeing here is what capitalism does to super-heroes.
I hear you, keep warm on trails or walks , forget fashion my body don't care.It must take so much out of someone to complete /win a Iditarod .After spending a couple of hours in the -15 the last 3 weeks can only imagine.People are capable of so much more ,its our mind that needs to stay sharp to continue.Easy for me to say ......Money on the other hand can be your worst enemy ,especially if you have bad habits..no kidding.take care
@@mjkmike11 that is very dangerous to want that trust me other countries practice that in there in shambles. Look at Venezuela it's so bad because of that. If you really look at other countries that practice that it is never good.
Look at the other countries outside the USA Venezuela is screwed because they have completely excepted socialism. The coutry is nasty and fross. This is the best coutry in the world because other countries won't except him. Be grateful your in America because other because literally die getting here, why do you think that?
@@89thunderfoot I agree that it's total BS that he's that much in debt just because he wanted to stay alive, but there's always 2 sides to the story. If the US didn't make as much as it does the US also may not (actually probably COULD not) do nearly as much research and development for treating and/or curing multiple medical issues. It's a 2 sided sword. There's a reason that the US leads the world in so many parts of the medical field. I hope my point makes sense and comes off right. I'm not saying I agree with one side or the other, it just seems like a necessary evil or something similar.
One of the sad downsides of the US.I think anybody that pays taxes should be covered.A country should have a duty to maintain the health of its citizens.

He sung the cards? How would he do that?
Have a heart people... Didn't you hear about the cancer and the initial $700K debt?
"run what ya brung" is the spirit of a pure racer
Love this guy
What a savage
Get well soon Lance.👍
That doesnt sound good.
I saw this in 2014 but I just realized he only has 4 fingers on his left hand
Me too.
he's half a simpsons character
"I have a clothing company give me clothes." Well Lance thanks for using the company name!
Maybe he DIDN'T want this to be viewed as a self-serving commercial.
I think it’s pretty obvious which brand it is. He’s wearing its logo in the middle of his head and on his arm
Y does he patch his burn holes with duct tape... if he sponsored.. also it must be cold in that room ahahah
The medical profession REALLY stick it to us all financially....half the time their even wrong!
It’s the medical insurance companies and big pharma that’s ripping us off
Gotta love the guts and honestly!
Really?
Wow, that Canadian Goose coat was some find down at the Salvation Army!

Lance is a fucking badass
Happy to be Canadian

Real strung out

@@davidrynberk4830 All we need is to keep each other warm, cousin. Everything after that is perverse.
@@HeatherSpoonheim The fresh cold air will keep you vital...and tired ...best thinking is in natures wifi.
Health Care should be a human right!
How so, are you just posting random things on here?
Health care should be covered by taxes
@@Paxton550730 hell no!!!
Just bc one has more money doesn’t mean their life is worth more

That dude is high AF...gacked out of his mind.
@Thomas Jones that aint cocaine, thats meth baby
Do what you love and stop worrying about getting paid.
And avoid methamphetamine
@@TheChrist4ylor Good luck with your sobriety.
@@blogintonblakley2708 I was talking about Mackey you dimwit
@U Betcha none that come close to spending hundreds of thousands on meth
Lance probably wouldn't be broke if he wasn't spending all his money on meth
In 2020 he was disqualified for positive Meth use.... shocking.
Since lack of sleep is key in winning an endurance race. Less u sleep more u are moving.
@@jasonlacroix6083 meth can you have you wide awake for 3days considering what he competes in that sounds like a ped to me
What happened to his finger??
“You have cancer, give us $700,000 if you want treatment.” Yea, best country in the world.....
That's what insurance is for, he admitted himself he was reckless with his spending. You don't blame the country you blame your decisions.

You sound a little spoiled and ungrateful. Be happy you don't have cancer.

@@BretJennings You hit it on the head brother! Two sided sword!
This guy might be strung out...
Might be !!!
why did this guy seem to be shocked he didn't get a Bn+ deal from Nike
Drugs and alcohol can and will do this to your life. Self destruction activated. Mental health is the issue.
Meth obviously is not a joke
He has four fingers only on his left hand or?
Thanks. I ended up watching another vid after this same interview, and they talked about it
Zae Ra He Lost Them fighting a Grizzly on the last sled run! The Bear was after his Booze and Cocaine!
Jon MacDonald Lol shut up
He had it amputated frostbite damage
Tragic
Sounds like he isn't the best business man.
Man living in Canada hearing this guy had to pay 700K because he got cancer is very upsetting
One of the sad downsides of the US.I think anybody that pays taxes should be covered.A country should have a duty to maintain the health of its citizens.
I freaking hate what meth did to Lance.
They used eachother. I appreciate the empathy, but this was in the cards.
I’m not sure if his career would have been as successful without some powerful narcotic stimulants
Does this guy have an autobiography?
"The Great Alone" - Is Lance Mackey story. It's worth the watching!
@@joshuapotter7372 Great doc, just watched it. Hard to find though.
I just noticed he has 4 fingers
You and 70% of former NFL & NBA athletes
Drugs
I Hope He Is DRUG FREE....
Not much money being made running dogs till they die.
Meth is a horrible thing Lance
Thank god we got NHS
I’m Canadian an I can tell you for a fact that jacket he’s wearing is no three dollar jacket.
He’s got only got 9 fingers
What?
$3 coats? As he's wearing a $1000 coat. Yeah I don't think so.
He's sponsored
Maybe actually listen to the interview instead of just making a comment.
