- There is a stretch of land that lies between Yukon and Alaska that we like to call "No Man's Land", a term often used to describe an inhospitable area affected by either war or disaster. In this case, it's an uninhabited, unconquered stretch of land in northwest British Columbia that now holds the keys to our hearts. Come along with us as we explore, hike and wander through this truly special part of our home province. Yes, come for the views, stay for the laughter!

Certainly beats watching TV.
🤣
Lots epic views, lots of epic scenes. Awesome video.
Thank you and thanks for watching, Valerie!
Another game-changer video, guys. The scenic views, the alpine flowers, the snow-capped mountains and waterfalls, the drone footage above the clouds, the laughter and, of course, the bagpipes! Truly epic cinematography.
Thanks for watching old man, glad you enjoyed the pipes, views and laughter.😁
Fun times again. Thanks for sharing and being real with us 🤙🏼
Hey Frank, thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!😊
Love the patches and stripes of snow and lakes, great time to be there!
We’ve been pretty lucky to see as much snow as we have, apparently it’s a cooler year than the last couple. It’s been a really enjoyable time up this way thus far.😊 Thanks for watching!🙌🏻
Superb!
Thanks so much!🙌🏻
Such a great video again. I wish I didn’t have bad knees and feet cause I’d love to hike mountains but unfortunately that’ll never happen 😢
That’s rough my dude. I know the struggle of bad knees, had to be super careful coming down off that first mountain and even then my knees were just about to give out when we got to the bottom. We’ll keep on bringing the camera and drone with us so you can save those aching hinges of yours.😁 Thanks for watching, Cody!🙌🏻
I’m in the same boat. Glad I can live my life vicariously through these channels
Epic cinematography. Thank you.
Thank you Gurpreet and thank you for watching!🙌🏻
You are absolutely right ... the drive into Skaqway is beautiful. In 2017 my son and I did the Yukon Route White Pass Trail train ride into Skagway. It was truly spectacular. The beauty leaves you speechless. I have really enjoy these past couple of videos. It has helped me remember our little adventure we took and reminded me that I need to go back there very soon. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next video :)
Hey Tanya, glad you’re enjoying the videos and that they’re bringing back fond memories. You should most definitely go back, this is my third time back up north and Meg’s second. We love it so much.
Beer just tastes better when you've had to earn it. Great footage in this one.
Ain’t that the truth, along with the rest of life’s simple pleasures. Thanks for watching!🙌🏻
Learning, growing, exploring. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us !! 😊
Thanks for watching, Peter!🙌🏻
Nice production. 13.4k+ subs. Growing each and every week. Pretty cool.
Thank you amigo! Yessir, still heading up!😊😊😊
Downing a Pilsner at the top of a hike. Now that’s true Canadiana! Another stellar video guys👍
Not my chosen beer, but I won’t complain any beer at a summit is better than no beer. Thanks for watching, Robin!🙌🏻
Hi Alex & Meg.
Best of luck on your trip south! We have been following you for a while and appreciate your candidness and ability to know your limits.
Alex, we first saw you doing your tour of Norton when we were researching a JDM van to import. We ended up with a 2001 Hiace and borrowed heavily from your build out of Norton. Thanks so much for the ideas.
Your drone footage keeps getting better and better.
Meg - you're a real sport for doing most of the exterior footage of Betty!
Safe travels you two!!
Wow, thank you so much for leaving this comment. We’ve really been cheered on by a lot of wonderful people today and it couldn’t have come on a better day. I really appreciate your kind words and it’s really encouraging to me that I’ve earned the attention and appreciation of folks like yourselves. Glad that my builds have inspired others as well. We’ll keep on turning out the videos because it’s clear that folks are enjoying them as much as we enjoy making them. Thanks again for the comment, it’s much appreciated.
Fantastically filmed, one of our favorite drives, the area around the border is surreal for sure. Enjoy historic Skagway and the boat ride to Haines, get ready for bald eagles!!
It's surely been added to our top 10 list! Thanks for watching!
Great views from that mountain - you're right - nothing is random, because you are the thread.
So you’re saying that, we’re all threads intricately woven into the flowing tapestry of time…?🤔 I like that.😊
Amazing video. Thanks
Thanks Leon, glad you enjoyed it!🙌🏻😁
Really I love it very much.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
You ever think of writing a book? You have the talent for it.
@@valeriestraw6966 I’ll be honest, I’ve started a few, but it’s a real challenge when your life is consumed by creating videos.🫤 One day I’ll get back to writing.😊
Love your honesty ❤I found you guys Telkwa pass videos and every video since just keeps getting better.
Thanks man, we appreciate that a lot. We’re working hard at being the best we can. Small improvements with every step gets. Thanks for watching!😊🙌🏻
Captivating from start to finish my friends !
Thanks friends! Miss you guys!
“Pam, do you see anything down there?” 🤣🤣🤣 love your channel 💜
😁😁😁😁 thanks for watching, Pam probably spotted something, will report back later.
The video and the scenery were both expansive, amazing, and engaging. I shouldn’t worry too much about any squabbles along the way. Much like the claps of thunder, they are mostly there just to remind you that you’re alive. Besides, it couldn’t be too bad if you’re going skinny-dipping the next day! Ah, “Summit Beer!” Is there anything better? When I go for a summit, each person is in charge of his or her own beer and the means by which it is kept cold. Keeps down on the backwash. Thanks for taking us along on another amazing and beautiful adventure!
Hey hey! Thanks for the heartfelt comment(s). I like your thunder analogy, that was quite concise. As for the summit beer, oddly enough, im the worst for thinning ahead. I’m a visionary and can see years ahead, but when asked to think about what I’ll eat or drink in a few hours time, I always forget or draw a blank. Having Meg, my opposite, means that I don’t starve or shrivel up and die.
I figured, if the laughing makes me smile every time, it oughta make someone else smile. Emotion, it’s a powerful thing.😉
Your audience is out there ( THEY DO KNOW YOU EXIST) thats for sure ....OMG with your beautiful cinematography your community grows with each SLOW step....as for the term No Man's Land ( we use that in Tennis as well) ...lol , As for your future and the calling it brings....many like myself dream of the wanderlust leads to the NORTH .... Cheers, and thank you for the beautifully narrative .....BE hugs!! Warmest of regards, 1000 islands Canada
BIG SMILES here right now, thanks for this wonderful comment. We're so glad you're enjoying the videos. If you pay close attention, I like to drop little easter eggs in our videos from time to time, I do it for myself as much as I do for avid/loyal viewers. If in the future you're still watching and if you're sharp enough, you may remember something I said a long time ago come to fruition within one of our videos. Meg is the short term planner, I'm the visionary/ long term planner. So when I we're drawn to the North...it's because the wheels are turning in the ol'noggin.☺
So inspiring.... we hope to roam in your foot steps one day 😊
Thanks for watching, glad we inspired your future travels!😊
Amazing. You guys are killing it. Every video is an adventure in which I long and wish to be on it with you lol.
Thank you for watching and commenting it means a lot. Perhaps we’ll arrange a group trip one day…🤔
"Patagonia, eat your heart out," great last words! I rode my motorcycle solo through there in 2008. Didn't have proper gear for hiking. You two are really capturing the moments in your travels. I would have liked to hear more details of your friction and how it was resolved. Maybe good advice to share for others. Great work!
Hahaha, yes indeed, I think Meg nailed it there for sure. We’re doing our best to showcase the areas, but at the same time I often feel like we travel too fast and miss stuff. Just means we’re coming back. I think one day I might be able to share a little more, but as of right now we still need to walk a line of just enough sharing but not too much. Thanks for watching and commenting, we both really appreciate it.😊
Guys that video is amazing guys 😊 I enjoy it watching
Thanks Christian and thank you for watching. I hope your family enjoyed it too. 😊✌🏼
This is incredible friends!!!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful capture of such a stunning place!
Thank youuuuuuu friends!😊
Amazing ! Would love to see same areas in the winter !
Same! While we were hiking international falls I couldn’t help but imagine what it looks like there covered in snow. Luckily we’re planning to stay up north until the snow flies, so maybe we’ll see a short glimpse.
"No Man's Land" looks like fine Nomad's hang out😁.
Or a good nomad hide out😉
Nice!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😊
Loved the lingering laughter in your cold plunge scene. Kind of worried about the drone flying around when you've got your skivvies off. It might have been a Free Willie moment!!!!!
Luckily I’m not flying it anywhere close to any Willie’s 🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤
Welcome!
Are you in AK?!
@@SlowRoamers I live in the Kenai Peninsula, come on down!
@@AllOverOverland We are currently on our way, just parked outside of Tok. See you in a couple days.😄
I hope to follow in your footsteps. My wife isn’t coming along but I’ll bring my trusty dog.
You’re gonna love it out here and so will your dog.😁 Thanks for watching!🙌🏻
Hi! 👋🏼I'm new(ish) to your channel and I absolutely love your adventures, cinematography, and commentary ❤ I live on Vancouver Island, and in my self-built low top 2008 savana extended. You guys are an INSPIRATION!! Keep on roamin', Roamers 🚐👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Vinny, today of all days I needed to hear that. Thanks for the kind words. We’re so glad we can be an inspiration to you. Thanks for watching!😊
Lovely folks :-) we love it!! But the scream.. dude.. really ?!!!? Again ?!? 😂😂😂
Thank you friends! C’mon, you know I screamed for the Fluri viewing pleasure.🤣🤣🤣
@@SlowRoamers oh boy it was a pleasure, we screamed with you 😂😂
@@fluriadventures but the scream was completely justified, it was COLD!
I believe that was the ventilation fan for the mine? I worked in an underground mine for 37 years & we had them like that & even bigger you could adjust the pitch on the blades also the first mine i worked at the fan sucked the air out & when we out farther they added a blowing fan also to force air into us also to keep the gas down & prevent explosions
Thanks for sharing that, Larry.
I wonder if the one we found was two way. That was definitely a heating coil and gas line which makes it clear it was for heat. I think there was another part shaft further out that we couldn’t see, so perhaps that was one was an exhaust fan. Thanks for the input Larry!
I hope to one day drive and explore BC and end my journey in Alaska. Minus all the crazy hikes you guys do (bad wheels). Definitely an inspiration just the same! Keep up the great content!
It’s an epic journey, you’ll love every moment of it, even if just from the road. Thanks for watching!
Those views sure are something else! What a time to be alive, being able to sit at your desk and literally watch the world from 15,000km away and feeling like you're there 🙌 Good thing I wasn't born in the time where you'd have to hunt for your food, coz I'd have no idea where to hunt for gluten free tacos 😂
Never having been a fan of drone shots I have to admit that I'm coming around on the subject thanks to shots like yours - well done, beautifully shot. And thanks for the van footage, much appreciated 🙌😍 Can't wait for the next one, but luckily I have all your others to watch during the week! 👏
btw I started watching your 28 minute video about a minute after you posted it, but it took me about 75 minutes to watch it because of pausing and googling the places where you are / are talking about 😂
That's AWESOME!! 😂
So glad you found us and enjoyed the video. I’m quite pleased that we’re bringing you around to liking drone shots, I hope you’re willing to stick around for more, because I can only guarantee there will be more.
There’s much more to come. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment, it’s greatly appreciated. Keep on roamin’!✌🏼
We’ll do a mention for gluten free tacos if we find a good spot.😉
For many years, each time that I see photos of BC, I think I need to go there....more than likely, I need to take all the things that I revel in life. As I probably will not go home HA! But, I'm serious that is something that I am intriqued with, I can see the attraction to places like that, and I can all of the hard work it would take to live there,,, then again, onc look outside, the thought goes away. Thanks as always for sharing!
Hey Jackie, thanks for watching! I think you most certainly need to go to BC and do some exploring, you won’t regret it. Prepare yourself to want to move to every single town.🤣
@@SlowRoamers I'd be happy I'm sure, now to pack up the dog, all the bikes/tools :)
@@jackiegammon2065 Get going!😁
omg, the PIPES!!! Let the pipes sing!
Hahaha! YES!!!🙌🏻 this guy gets it😁😁
From Bangladesh
Hello hello! You’re a long ways from us. Thank you for watching!
@@SlowRoamers yes I am from Bangladesh and Bangladesh is neighborhood county of India. But I have been trying to Canada for long time.
💚So Cool man ! 💙I went from whitehorse , Tok , Palmer , Seward , Homer , McCarthy , now Fairbanks . The frikin rain today ugh .... hope to see ya , thanks for the vid !!!❤ ~peace
@@alphatruckhouse8223 hey Andy! Sounds like you’re really haulin ass around the North! We’ll be into AK first week of August and heading towards the Kenai.
@@SlowRoamers sounds good ! safe travels , The place where U get 4 seasons in an hr. thanks for getting back ❤ ~peace~
P.S. Great job editing together your laughter, the music and the scenery. Careful or you might become a bit of a cinematographer!
I won’t be too careful…😉
Mesmerizing beauty of nature ❤. God has decorated our planet with so much of beautiful places but as a guardian of it 😌 are we doing proper justice ⚖️. 😮. 😢.
@@ratnadipmajumdar8179 couldn’t agree more! All we can do is demonstrate good stewardship of our beautiful places and hope others follow suit.
The mine tunnel looks creepy 😮,watching here in Saskatchewan guys 😊
If you have an over active imagination like mine, it gets even creepier! Thanks for watching, tell your friends, we need more Canadian's watching!😁😁😁
❤️🤗👩❤️🤗🧔👍✨️
Thanks for watching!😁🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Loved everything about this video except the very first song, idk why but it gave me anxiety.
lol, sorry about that. 🤣
Wish your soundtrack matched the visuals better😬
Can’t please everyone, amigo. ✌🏼
Hi, I'm leaving BC for Tuktoyaktuk next week. Any tips on lakes to look for camping throughout Northern BC into Yukon. I'm basically just going up and down lakes and rivers on Google maps at the moment
There’s Boya Lake which is a must, but honestly, there are SO many lakes and rivers up here. You can’t throw a rock without it landing in a body of water…
@SlowRoamers yeah seams that way, but between north vancouver and Prince George is where I'll run into issues really. Starting trip laborday weekend maybe isn't the smartest idea....lol
@@darrensaunders4635 Yeah, I'd wait until at least a couple days after. Still, lots of lakes.
I recommend taking the 99 from North Van, Lilloeet Lake is a worthy first stop and the Duffey Lake Road is 🤩🤩🤩
The no man's land is actually. Taku River Tlingit First Nation. As they still use all the land. And have a co-management agreement with BC gov. Enjoy. 🖖🏽🧡🐾🚐
Indeed! I realized too late to make mention of indigenous land we were traveling through. I’ll try to do better next time. Thanks for watching 😊
