Life At The End Of The Road, The Arctic Circle. Canada's Northern Most Town, Tuktoyaktuk.

- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- The Arctic Circle has been a dream trip for me for many years, but not just across the line, I wanted to get to the very top. As far as you can drive! Last week we got to share the glorious drive to the top, up the Dempster Highway, and this week we are taking a closer look at life in Tuktoyaktuk.
The hardest part of this weeks video was to get my film permit signed and processed, because the locals themselves were eager and excited to get involved. We had several amazing opportunities around town that I wasn't even able to film yet, simply because the locals wanted to share the experiences. We were even able to participate in the processing, cooking and eating of a Beluga Whale.
Once my permit was approved, I had to get right to business, and luckily I had already met both of my interviewees while participating in activities around the town. What I learned from speaking with these women was of course insightful, but I learned so much more just being in the community. Life in Tuktoyaktuk, as much as the locals don't realize, is so different. The energy is calm, the people are relaxed, and smiles are shared everywhere. I think that this energy comes from the simple fact that people have to survive here. Remoteness is just one of the many dangers of living along the Arctic Ocean. Access to electricity, food, firewood, gas and diesel, supplies, and help, is all very limited. To live here, you have to be resourceful, strong, and possess a different skillset that anywhere else in the world. When you take all of that into account, you will see that the problems of "normal life" are quite minor.
Primary transportation around Tuk is by Quad in the summer and snowmobile in the winter. This may be something you expect to see, but when you arrive and actually see the streets bustling with locals on quads, people drying fish and processing whales, kids playing at all hours of the consistently bright days, it is more that you can comprehend outside of seeing it in person. During our stay, I spend many hours studying the habits and patterns of the local people, and the way life happens in this little town is so fascinating and different.
Every day, a new wave of tourists rattle into town after a long trip up the Dempster Highway, and in the morning they will be off to rejoin society in the south. Some will buy souvenirs, or participate in a local activity, but for the most part, they only come to dip a toe into the Arctic Ocean. We were here for two weeks, and we saw this phenomenon on repeat, and it is something I will never understand. Of all the places I have traveled, Tuktoyaktuk is arguably the greatest undertaking, and upon arrival you are welcomed with the most unbelievable campground on the Arctic Ocean. The sun may not have set until 3:00, but the sunset is incredible right from the window of the camper. You can buy dried fish and art from locals that visit the campers each day. Even with all of this, the culture and the views, the miles and challenges of the trip, people only stay for one night. I hope that this video can help change this.
Tuktoyaktuk is a beautiful community, but it is different in more ways to the rest of the world than is is the same. It has only been accessible to tourists since 2017, so this is still a learning curve for the locals, and it is also quickly disappearing. The erosion on the peninsula has been determined to be irreversible, and the residents of Tuktoyaktuk have between 30 and 50 years before they have to relocate entirely. If you are interested in a trip to Tuktoyaktuk, I encourage you to try and have an interest in Tuktoyaktuk its self. Spend some time and learn from these people and their way of life. Purchase some of the local goods and support the people and economy. Being so far away from anything else, it is so easy to forget about a small community and the handful of people that call it home, but this has been their home for thousands of years, and as humans it is our responsibility to preserve that. When the community officially relocates, I hope that there will be a great chronicling of the history here, because once it is gone there is no reclaiming it, and as tourists we can be a huge help.
If you do not have a chance in your lifetime to visit Tuk, then I hope you enjoyed experiencing it with me, and I thank you very much for watching.

Once again, Dustin, you told a story of a people that a lot of other people don't know exist. So thank you very much. As far as the campers who come in of the evening and leave in the morning. I would say they were simply fulfilling a bucket list. But you, Dustin, you see the value of the places and people you visit. Once again, telling a real story. I have to say, DA is not like many of the RUclips channels you see. They are simply here to entertain. DA actually has value and meaning. So thank you, Dustin, for your hard work in putting all this together.
I heartily agree. I've been to Tuk and watched in amazement as someone in a "overlander" rig boils into town, takes a few pictures and roars back out. Dustin did the community proud and I'm sure next week will be on par.
I really appreciate that, thank you. I wish I could have stayed even longer here, it is a place with many stories.
@Destination_Adventure lol, you can always go back! You have a lot to still do, see, and tell.
Your depiction ideography and storytelling of Canadian history and culture is awesome. As a Canadian dreaming of visiting the Arctic Circle thank you Tim
That boat you showed looks like an old Cockburn Pointer boat
My dad worked in Tuk almost 50 years ago and I was amazed that he went up there for a couple months to work on the barges.
Dustin, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me where my #1 hero worked ❤
Would have loved to see it back then, I bet the town was in great condition.
Many people are just tourists. They see the places but don't see the people. They see the sights but don't connect with the life. You have an eye for all things that comes with these adventures. Love it Dustin. Can't wait for next week but every week that goes by gets close to the end of this years journey.
Thank you. 😊
Lol. I spent 5 years in the Arctic. Right around the north pole offshore drilling in the eighties. I would definitely put it on your bucket list. So many islands there you would think it's just snow. Our rig sat on the ice which was groomed to 30 feet thick of ice for the whole operation including the airstrip. The ocean depths were 1700 to 2200 feet below the ice. We hired many of the locals for labor jobs. We got to visit many of the communities. The people are the most friendliest and harmless people I've ever met. The winter is long cold and dark. But when it comes alive in the spring it is just breathtaking amazing. The wildlife and the struggles. The things I seen will be with me forever.
A special thank you to the ladies that granted you interviews this weeks. I enjoyed hearing them.
Two coffee video. Nice.
Started watching, and about four minutes in, I had to pause due to some dust in my eye. Yah, dust. I kept hearing a word repeated by the people you interviewed. "Community".
Growing up in Rupert, I went to school with First Nation kids at Conrad elementary. They took the ferry from Metlakatla everyday. I witnessed horrible racism back in the 70's, and could never understand why so much hate. Then I grew up, and discovered how Canadian history had been "white-washed". I had witnessed generational trauma from the forced assimilation imposed upon First Nations by our government, way before I was here. The fact that these human beings in the North have kept their community alive, is a testament to their spirit. Hard core.
I learned a long time ago, judge a person by what is inside, not how they look. We are all connected. We are all in this together. I love how you show respect to the locals when visiting and area Dustin. Thank you for this footage. First Nation are some of the most resilient humans I have ever met in my life. Those living in the arctic, are on another level.
Great Job, safe travels, cheers.
Side-note... For those who did believe you said "Metallica played here", here you go... ruclips.net/video/GP-GwBbhgpE/видео.htmlsi=ZgK-uxMR4MNNOaJC
Dude, that was so sweet! Thanks for sharing the link! I only wish there had been more music, but it was definitely an interesting little tidbit about both Metallica and Tuk's past.
@@PulpParadise I'd love them to see them do a 30 year return tour. I bet they are nicer, now that they are sober... :)
At 26:26 the abandoned camp in the background was built by ATCO for Dome petroleum. I worked on it for ATCO back in'82 when it was built. I was there again in '83 when Esso Resources built theirs. They were base camps for their offshore explorations. Made a lot of money on these projects. It was a million dollar experience that I wouldn't repeat for a nickel. Working outside all year 12 hr. days, 7 days a week. I have to admit that the people and the environment appealed to me and I regret never returning as a tourist.
I spent 5 seasons in the Arctic but closer to the Pole offshore drilling with Pan Arctic drilling. Absolutely amazing
@@derrickconnolly9164 Please share your experience, Thank you Sir.
Seeing the culture of all these remote towns you visit is so cool
I always appreciate the interviews you do. You may not consider what you do to be a service to our country, but it contributes to weaving the tapestry of Canada, and its citizens.
Thank you.
That is really nice, thank you.
I couldn't agree more. Well said.
@@Destination_Adventure You are most welcome. Cheers!
My wife watched this episode with me. She remembers going to the school for a dance recital and then everyone sleeping in the gym.
The wife says the town has changed a lot since then
It was great to see the community
Thank You
If it weren't for your amazing talents and determination we probably would not ever see the things you bring to share with us. Awesome Dustin ,simply amazing.
Just great! Love your program. I was an engineer for Dome in the early 80s and part of the group that was responsible for all the shored-based infrastructure design and installation here and in McKinley Bay, 100km further north. We’re all retired now but I’m still in contact with 3 of the group. It was a large operation supporting about 1200 people on and off-shore. The camp had accommodations and offices for the support staff as well as for crew rotations to the ships. The airport was enlarged by us to support the daily Dome’s Boeing 737 plus a fleet of helicopters and other fixed-wing aircraft. The hanger, if it is still there, has quite the floor design. Because of the permafrost the floor is up on piles and made from 4x12 joists nailed side by side, solid. The warehouses near the camp have ducted foundations that require fans in the winter to refreeze the permafrost after every summer season. The tank farm you show, would have contained all the fuel for the ships, electricity generators, and aircraft. The tanks sit on huge insulated pads to protect the permafrost. In your film, you briefly show the steel caison sitting in the water. That was an ice-breaking/protection system for artificial islands in the Beaufort Sea, to support drilling rigs. This was Esso’s version (a late-comer to this oilpatch) of what Dome was doing out at Tarsuit and with the SSDC (a caison designed out of a half-section of a repurposed oil tanker). On route towards Dome’s camp, you passed several houses. Originally there were 4 and were used by Dome’s executives when they were in town. We were asked not to go into town as not to disturb the community but many of the townspeople did work for Dome (or Canmar, its drilling subsidiary). Before the Dempster, you drove out of town via the ice road built every winter on the Mackenzie River. Thanks Dustin. Many more stories here!
Anywhere is beautiful, if it's where you want to be. They seem happy. Bless all of you!!
great respect Dustin speaking to the older generation for there history and listening to there stories.
One of my favourite ways to learn a community.
I look forward to your videos every week, and every week, you do not disappoint. This is the best channel on YT by an arctic mile. We are originally from the South Okanagan in BC but moved to southern Mexico in Oct 21 to escape the madness. The only thing I miss is the landscape and the scenery, but having your channel has filled that void. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dusttn! Cheers from Puerto Escondido Oaxaca
Very much appreciated, thanks so much.
Cannot tell you the joy I get from seeing places I'll never get to visit in person. Thank you so much.
Thank you for enjoying. 😊
Beautiful episode. And it was beautiful how many times the word beautiful was used. Because it really is beautiful, especially the people.
What an amazing community. Thank you for letting us be able to see it. Appreciate all the work you do.
it must be nice to have loving community and family. definitely something im craving in this world gone mad
Chris Samuelson went up there in 1985,he read in the newspaper that esso resources was selling the 65' crew boat "Sarpik" so he left Bella Coola BC and flew to Tuk. He bought the boat and followed the convoy of other ships going south after ice break up. It cost him $10k in fuel to drive home to Bingo Bongo CB. Some American offered him 4x his purchase price when he transited through Alaska.Chris also bought a tugboat from there,had it shipped down the Mackenzie river by barge then railroaded to Vancouver BC,then he drove it to Bella Coola. The tug was sold about 10 years ago to tadpole towing Oona River BC on Porcher Island.the tug still comes into Prince Rupert quite frequently. Happy Arctic journeys to Destination Adventure
Great information on the boats, thank you. I’ll keep an eye out around Rupert.
Man, this is beautiful. Thank you so much for what you do.
Thank you. 🍻
Thank you Dustin for the absolutely top quality of videos you release with the stories of locals you tell.
There is so much to be learned from these people. I grew up in a small Ontario town where there was a semblance of community but it didn't come close to life in Tuktoyaktuk.
Cheers, Dustin. Thanks again for sharing. Such amazing production quality.
Thank you Dustin, a place I will never get to go see,But for you showing us these places, such wonderful people and places you show us, this is such a wonderful place to see.
Thanks for the great tour of Tuk Dustin. I love the way the people understand all the commercial conveniences of life aren't necessary to have a happy life. They love the land, and that brings them their joy.
Thankyou for taking time to speak with the locals instead of turning around and heading back.
Its interesting to hear about how they live off of the land, the knowledge of how to survive is invaluable.
This is one of my Fave DA video's .... I was adopted at birth from Inuvik, I love your connection with locals everywhere you go! Keep up the awesome job!
Much respect Dustin to you and the locals on preserving their heritage. My Dad worked on the DEW line in Tuk, he brought back kids toys made from seal skin and fur but, the prize was a caribou coat for my mom! Fun fact my Dad traveled up and back with a young engineer to work on the DEW line well it turns out that engineer was my wife’s uncle what are the chances!!
We purchased some fur items as well. As someone that doesn’t typically collect souvenirs, I’m pretty excited about those ones.
Hi Dustin ~ As a child, I was blessed to grow up in the N.W.T. - our beloved North! By choice, my family lived off the land via hunting and fishing, and my parents ensured we had a bountiful garden each year - which we shared with the community. The people are very close and remain connected…helping one another however they can. This is why it’s such a special place in my heart…the beautiful hearts within our communities!
I never gave a thought to the spectacular beauty of the Northern Lights, until I became an adult. As we grow older, we learn to appreciate a great deal more than as a youth running around. I am from a mixed community and family, so intertwining and appreciating what our individuals cultures contribute are a benefit to all!
Most are unaware Tuk’s coastline is slowing being eroding my the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, it’s critical we document these historical communities to preserve for future generations. Thank you - for sharing both the scenery, a bit of the culture, and the extraordinary people of TUK!
Cheers!😊
P.S. Like the E-Bike…a great way to travel and access places unavailable to large motorized vehicles.
Hoping to see some Northern Lights soon. Even been looking, but every night that has high KP, it’s overcast. lol
@@Destination_Adventure I’m sure if anyone can find them during the Summer, it is likely you!😊
Have an awesome weekend my friend!❤xx
Dustin: Your nieces were wrong, not everything has been discovered.. You discover something new every week. I have never been to Tuktoyaktuk, and for me that is a new discovery..
I have been to the PEARL on Ellesmere Island however.. That was a crazy Adventure that happened in late February of 1996, and we flew in.
Dustin, this is one of your best videos yet. Looks like an awesome community. Thanks for sharing...
Thank you. 😊
That was amazing stuff thank you. I always appreciate you taking me along Safe travels
Great video as usual, but also the written narrative is very well done. Both the written and the video compliment each other and completes the excellent story telling process.
Thank You, Thank You from the N.W. suburbs of Chicago IL,
I really appreciate that, thank you for taking the time to read as well. 😊
I wish I lived in a village where everyone knew and loved me, and I knew and loved them.
I now live in a community of 900 in the BC Southern Interior. Grew in rural and remote areas almost my entire 66 years. It is nice but don’t idealize it. People are people, they can know you without knowing who you are. People squabble and others have an opinion. But when tragedy or hardship happens, they are there for you, and that’s what counts. 😉😄
There are tons of small, small towns you can move to that exist all over. The bad part of being in a small town is lack of medical care, and everyone knows, or thinks they know, all of your business
Thank you Dustin for sharing your experience and Beautiful country, different way of life, Blessing.
Once again you have made Saturday morning something special that we look forward to every week. What a unique and rugged people that keep family and friends close in such a far away place to most of humanity. Thank you Dustin for your guided tour of town and for the interviews of those two community elders. Looking forward to seeing and learning more of Tuktoyaktuk next week and the trip out to the islands. Stay safe and enjoy every minute my friend!
Thanks so much for allowing me to be part of your Saturday. 😊
Another excellent video, Dustin. The ladies are so knowledgeable and love their lives here. Thanks for the super tour…we look forward to next week’s adventure out on the ocean! Cheers to you both from Chilliwack!
Happy weekend everyone 😊👍
I just adored this one. These ladies are national treasures! They hold the history of their people and the days gone by. So much knowledge. What an amazing community. They care for each other. What an amazing place. I cannot wait to see you out on the arctic ocean next week!
Wow, so beautiful, thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Amazing video!! You really go above and beyond to tell the story. Very much appreciated.
🍻 😊
Love the stories always making a grown man cry. That square body
Yay I’m on time!
So glad I got the notification!
Thanks for learning more about the people and history so you could share with us Dustin. Very interesting!!
Amazing video friend thank you 😊please keep the great videos coming. From Scotland
Really enjoyed the tour. I am amazed at how much driftwood there is from area that has no trees? It must travel for hundreds of kilometres to end up there. Amazing.
This is one of your best. Thank you for starting with the elders speaking of their lives it set the tone for the remainder of the video. Look forward to the second part by boat.
Absolutely amazing work. Best tour of Tuk ever.
I love when you visit Indigenous communities, the ones I've seen I can tell you've put extra care into it. Gitchi Miigwetch (thank you!) for sharing this story.
Thanks again Dustin for showing us a community and a part of Canada that for a lot of us we would never get to experience. So very appreciated.
Looking forward to next week to see and hear what you’ve discovered about the “oil drilling platform” that is in the harbour. I hope you found some locals that can share their story.
I worked on that in ‘84 & ‘85 in the Beaufort Sea North of Tuk.
I remember -56°C that winter and the local hunters our company hired for Polar Bear watch. Amazing experience. Thanks for bringing back the memories. 😁
Tuktoyaktuk, ah yes, the place with two general stores and no working restaurant, cafe, or even a place to get something to eat!
I loved it!
Absolutely fantastic video Dustin! Can’t wait till next week! 👍🇨🇦
🍻
I really enjoy your video's when you talk to the local ppl of the area. It's so interesting to hear their stories, Awesome to see there are some beautiful ppl in the world. Thank you for sharing these ppl's story, with us.
It touched my heart when she said if a family is down and out the whole community comes together and helps them it's great to see there's still great people in this world we live in God bless you on your travels thank you for sharing
Thank you from a northwest BC resident, for including us in your dream trip with this video. Very Enjoyable!! Take Care and Be Safe!
Absolutely amazing video. What a beautiful place and even more beautiful people. Thank you for the video.
Constantly setting the bar higher . Another great episode . Thanks.
🍻 😊
What a fantastic and unique place, Steeped in so much history and culture.
Thanks for the fascinating tour.
Wow, what a difference the highway has made to Tuk and Inuvik. I lived in Inuvik as the Dempster was nearing completion in the late 70's. I have only been to Tuktoyaktuk in the winter for a brief visit. I did get to stand on the Arctic ice. Thanks for the visit to a part of the world few of us get to experience.
Thanks for the look around Tuk. My son spent some time in the Rcmp station before the road was in. Stationed in Inuvik hed would fly in to some of the small community's for a couple days. He enjoyed the old timer's stories and getting around on planes and snow mobiles and boats. Great experience for a young man. I flew to Inuvik and we drove his truck and utility trailer down to Yellowknife in the winter. Now that was fun beautiful part of our country. Thanks again.
Just recently discovered your channel Dustin. An Aussie retired in Thailand. Loving the amazing views of BC you’re giving us. Beautiful country. Watching one by one video they are so enjoyable and well made. Keep up the great work 👌
@@mack3431 thank you very much, and welcome to the channel. 😊
Once again, so nice to see your love for new lands and people. Thank you for sharing your interests with us, the viewers. Looking forward to next weeks D A as per the spoilers. lol.
Very interesting to hear and learn what life consists of in these places you go.Dustin you do not only take us on tour with you , you take us to history class , social studies class, weather.... I feel schooled, thank you!
Glad I found y’all……good community values!
So beautiful and so down to earth. Not spoiled by nonsense of modern life. Real genuine people what's Open hearts that welcome you to their land. Thank you Dustin for sharing this with us it's been nice
I was taken away from hearing those beautiful stories the people had shared about their family lives. In 1976 l spent a summer in Yakutat, Alaska. Commercial fishing with a indigenous family of 10. One of their boys was a seal skinner. Their family stories are similar to these locals you interviewed. Proud people who love their traditions. Thankyou Dustin for shaing. I appreciate the time and efforts you put into your work. Cheers
I really enjoy my Saturday morning because I know that I'm going to be amazed at the video an story an history that you share with us thank you for everything you do God bless
Amazing video of Tuk, thanks!
I appreciate learning about communities I didn't know existed in episodes like these. Thank you! What a beautiful area that is, and so remote which I love.
I would know nothing about this place if it wasn’t for you! Thank you for another awesome video, can’t wait for the next one. 😊
Thanks,Dustin for the bike side view of
Tuk! The locals seem very wise and
interestin😊g to meet and know!🎉
Congrats, this is the first Tuk vid I’ve seen that wasn’t all about “ooh look we got here” and actually spent time with the residents and the culture there. Well done.
Dustin, this was one of our favorite episodes. Sharing your personal life was really endearing to us. My wife and I are in our 70's and you're one of our favorite documentarians.
Thank you very much.
I am less than 6 minutes into this masterpiece, the music, the vibes, the cuts. THIS Is Amazing,
Worked there in 1989, quite an amazing place to see. Drove my family up the ice road from Inuvik for the day so they could see the place.
Wow! Your videos are always so visually and mentally stimulating! 🤩
Whenever I sit down to watch one of your videos for a few minutes I end up watching two or three videos for an hour or two. I really appreciate your explanation of everything that you include in your videos. One thing that concerns me is the industrialization of the land and the permanent changes some of it makes to the land that may be a detriment for future generations. I realize the benefits of commerce but also the benefits of leaving some places untouched. Thank you for showing places that I likely will never see in person.
Thanks for enjoying. 😊 🍻
So much production value here! What an excellent video/documentary! This place is on my bucket list
I'll tell you what every time I watch one of your I call it a documentary now. Most refer to it as another episode. For some reason you're able to grasp all the information and put it in a manner that is incredibly easy to watch and something that I absolutely enjoy each and every time.
Why you don't have 5 to 600,000 subs or more is beyond me, but people need to find you. Your story telling it is incredibly awesome.
Hopefully the channel will grow to that level. Thanks so much for enjoying. 😊
Thanks Justin another great adventure, amazing town.God bless ❤️
My buddy spent 5 years working in Class 1 isolation on that DEW line in the 80s. Started in Coppermine then moved to Tuk. Thanks for showing me what he, um, endured for half a decade 🙂
This episode has a great story. So much history and wisdom shared. These people live a truly amazing life. Thanks for sharing.
I’d like to thank you for documenting our visit to Tuk 😅. The two motorcycles parked behind Grandma’s Kitchen, (20:24) belong to me and my buddy. Grandma was indeed serving travelers that day, with a menu of whitefish and fries, and a sample of muktuk. We came all the way from Vancouver, BC to have lunch there!
This was such an amazing video. Your heart is always with the people and places. So nice to hear the locals opening up their hearts to you and Emi.
I know a family in Arviat (previously named Eskimo Point) on the west Coast of Hudson Bay. Their way of life sounds so similar to this.
Perhaps you can go and visit their community one day too. The eldest daughter is one of the ‘community hunters’ so she knows where to explore and hunt in that area.
It’s wonderful to hear your explanations and hear about the places you visit. You are definitely my favourite you-tube channel. Thank you for everything !
Dustin, you are phenomenal at capturing the stories of locals thru words, videos, and music. Thank you for this.
Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for my weekly moment of Zen.
😊 Keith and Shari from Nashville. Beautiful, thanks for letting us tag along
You might not ever see this but know that I am truly happy for you Dustin. May you forever live life to its fullest and may you always be blessed with peace, prosperity and happiness 🙏🏼
🤜🏼💥🤛🏼🫡
I saw it, and I sure appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words.
That was awesome to see their cultures in the town. Nice simple town. Thanks for another great video.
A few of my fellow grads went up to Tuk to work the drill rigs in 1979. Quite different back then no doubt. Nice tour of the area. Great stories from the locals. 👍👍🇨🇦🤙
Dustin, you did an awesome job on the interviews. They spoke from the heart. You did excellent editing work! I love your gorgeous B roll during the interviews. It looked like it was done by a big production crew.
Today is the first time I see Arctic as an ocean. Before today, I can only imagine there is water beneath the thick ice. The water is so tranquil, it looks more like a lake. I suspect there aren't much tumultuous in arctic during summer times. And during winter, there is only ice, of course.
The houses are so sparsely populated, I wonder how do residents handle sewerage. And garbage? I guess that's why there are so much garbage in the harbour. In the early time, perhaps people just dump their garbage into the sea. And because Arctic is only unfrozen a few months in a year, the garbage really didn't have a chance to be washed away.
Gas price is Tuctotic is even cheaper than Vancouver, BC!😢
Thanks for bringing me to Arctic!
Watching from Ontario, Canada. I'm glad I came across this video, I found it really interesting. Thanks for sharing
Fascinating! Thank you, Dustin.
It wasn't quite as far north as Tuk but I remember living in Yellowknife was awesome during summer time such long days. Part of my heart will always be in the North.
I worked there for three seasons in the early 90s, in the Beaufort Sea. Remember when we walked to the pingo and met the locals? I'll never forget that beautiful place.
Love how your videos show life and people and not just places.
I will say it again, the best content on RUclips. Outstanding.
Thank you very much. 😊
I said it before, and Ill say it again you get nothing expected when you’re backseat drivin and your hands aint on the wheel…. JP 🎵 🎶
What a genuine lovely local she is. Great tour of Tuktoyaktuk Dustin, can't wait for next week eh.😄
Thanks for the tour! I'm looking forward to next week! Thanks again, Dustin .
