Man I have really enjoyed this trip a lot. I watch everynight with dinner while smoking a J. I live in the Pisgah National Forest in Western North Carolina. Always wanted to do a trip like this. I have a travel trailer, but looking to switch up to a truck camper this spring. Really inspiring and artistic channel. Thanks Timmy.
Hey Truthseeker! Grew up spending Summer's in a small town, Highlands, N.C. & used to go to Toxaway Falls (Which I can't get to anymore as area is developed with Country Clubs etc in that area but it is so beautiful where I live. We came from South Florida so it was a big change. Anyways, we went RVing during Vivid & it was super cool. The only thing it would be much better in a truck getting better mileage as it does get expensive. Never made it to Alaska - it's on our bucket list still. The younger I go the better. Whatever u decide to do, it is well worth it & enjoyable. The one thing I wish I had documented the trip on RUclips. Take it easy! 😊😊😊😊
Smoking and watching to from Detroit ❤
I love your cabin. I want to build one on a little trailer for us. Family of 6 lol
That's an epic road trip! Everytime you show us the Alaskan landscape I'm in awe.
She’s a great old girl. There’s so much more life in her I’m sure you will do everything possible to keep her alive for as long as possible. Great trip Timmie.
Of late Tim-my you are the only utuber (that I’m subscribed to) putting out steady content. So thank you.
One day I'm gonna drive the Alaska Hwy! Your videos are invaluable!
You are keeping it in check man. A nice modest homestead and a rocken 7.3 home on wheels that's perfection. You take care of the old rig and takes care of you... (even cycling those plugs why not)... Stay safe man keep exploring.
Get an Espar coolant heater for those cold starts with no where to plug in. Plumbs into your coolant lines and pushes hot coolant through your system for up to 120 minutes, you can schedule auto starts to come on at whatever time you want so you wake up to a warm truck. Uses diesel from your tank to run
Yeah Northern British Columbia and gas prices ain't no joke... I drive a 4 cylinder four-wheel drive Tacoma.. because eight bucks a gallon hurts my feelings
Mr. Tim the real deal...respect
"Why would we choose to live on top of each other when we could live in our own space?"
Mostly, government policies that encourage densely populated urban centers and suburban sprawl, because it's easier to control humans when they are under stress and alienated from each other.
What an amazing road trip. So glad you made it home safe
Epic journey. Hope to see some adventures at the alpine creek lodge this winter!
wait for it;)
Welcome home, Timmy! 👍🇨🇦😎⭐🦜🦜
Thanks for the ride and welcome home.
I remember my first time being gone more than 6/7 days and it was 2 months. What a feeling
Home sweet home. Nothing like coming home from a sweet sojourn! Home.
Great journey home, loved it. Now, install a third fuel tank since you pushed the range a little to the edge 😵💫, install air lockers for next season in Utah and Colorado, and keep on trucking. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for this winter, I’m sure it will be epic.
I think you got hacked? Got a notice that I was selected to receive a free prize which seemed strange. Contact email was similar to your merchandise email address but with an extra period inserted. It also went away which was strange.
I've done this drive in my 96 F250 7.3 with a camper and 6x8 enclosed trailer. I loved that trip and your videos are making me want to hit the road again.
GLAD you are home Timmy!
Everything you said at the start of this video is exactly how I feel. I'm so thankful I found this channel, and your videos.
Thanks Timmy for sharing. Quite a trip for sure.
Nice video. Those birds must be feeling like they are in prison during the whole Winter trip, LOL.
Glad you made it home safe and sound bro! Found your channel partway into you adventure(s) and have thoroughly enjoyed each and ever moment and have even managed to see a few vids prior to your journey to the lower 48. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and excited to continue with you on your life’s journey. As always, stay safe out there…..
sick view out of the cabin
Awesome brother safe travels!
Been amazing 🤙🏼, can't wait for what's next 🤟🏼, from San Antonio Texas 🤟🏼
I went skiing on Alyeska back in the late 80's while stationed in AK. Coldest I'd ever been!
there's no place like home !!
Welcome Home Timmy!!!! What a RIDE
My kingdom for a land like Alaska, I live in a ant nest of concrete,Belgium ,I mis nature so bad .
And no means to move , it makes me sick .
Never found out what i was missing,it was nature .
Be blessed man .
Buddy, you still in that ant nest in Belgium? I hope nobody's holding a fucking gun to your head saying you cannot live a different life.
Great trip Timmy, love ur videos that must have been an awesome trip👍🏻🇺🇸
It was!
That is so cool that you have parakeets. I love them too. I had 8 birds, but now I only have 3 left, as 5 of them died over the course of 10 years. Great trip north homeward bound! Glad that you made it safely. 👍👍
Great trip man. Thanks for taking us along.
Your videos are soul soothing
Thank you sir
great group of videos. loved that journey!
Funny...I started clapping my hands when your trucks started....happy for you
Beautiful Night for a sleep Awesome Video 👍
Glad you made it home safe, Timmy! Heck of a trip! ❤
When I lived in Bethel, i used a oil heating dp stick, a battery blanket and was still worried if the van would start...lol. although I did drive for over 6 months without a water pump.
Love your videos! Do you use a full synthetic oil for the winter? I know from personal experience this made a big difference for my 2000 Dodge 2500 Diesel. I cost extra but worth it. Take care.
Long trip thx for taking us along
Would be crazy if you’re sitting there having coffee and Cheerios at 3:30 mark and your sh*t starts cruising down the road lmao, some nut job said, “sheet homie, I gots new truck house bee-iii-atch!!! and iz mines maang!!!” Lol
Cool journeys Timmy, now bust out the sleds 🤘🤘🤘
they're out!
Love the sound of that diesel. Hope we can continue to drive them for another 30 years.
Welcome Home Timmy!!!
Wow...brought back so many memories of MY epic trip from So. Cal. to Alaska waaay back in 1979! My good ol' Jeep J-10 4x4 truck with just a camper shell and one of my buddies along with me!
It was in Sept. though so the weather was a bit nicer! 😄 Went all the way up to Circle and then down to Kenai Peninsula. Returned home on the Cassiar Hwy. which at that time was even worse than the Alcan Hwy! Just over a month and almost 9k miles total!
Gotta find the slides of our trip (yeah, long before digital cameras!).
Great video, great adventure! Thanks for sharing that...
Love riding along with you thanks!
Any time!
Thanks for sharing your four month trip with us. Live through Timmy!
Awesome Timmy thanks for sharing
Thanks for the wonderful videos.
People who live their dream
really live!
Have a good time and many,
many great ROADTRIPS.
Regards, Michael
The USCG used to manage a old LORAN (old navegation system used before GPS) station in TOK....
Fantasitc. Thanks for taking us along. I drove the ALCAN (Los Angeles, CA to Fairbanks/Denali and back a little over 40 years ago. At the time, most of the ALCAN was stone and it was May/June. Although your route was different (close enough) doing it in the winter and alone is a whole different thing. At the time (still hard to belive), Canadian Customs/MP strongly encouraged bringing a rifle on the ALCAN. How times have changed. We had to show them our route, count our money and completely unload our truck to show them we were prepared. My buddy bought an almost new Toyota 4WD for the trip. I bought all of the supplies, including anything we could possibly think of - tires, gas cans, alternator, voltage regluator, battery, headlights, etc. We had just enough room for one of us to sleep in the bed under the cap, the other slept in the cab. Great memories. I used Google Maps to follow along your trip. Really fun! When I drove the ALCAN, there were several sections that had 75-150 (IIRR) miles between gas stations/villages. I think the villages were really "outposts" setup to maintain the highway. Glad you made it home and hope you have a wonderful 2023. Thanks again.
Can’t wait for some sled videos
They're comin!
We really enjoyed this trip with you.Thanks!
This just makes me want to see Alaska in the summer! Brrrrrr. -12
You made it Timmy. Glad your home.
I haven't been watching for probly 6 months. Just been too busy. I'm back tho. Thank heavens. Thank you for taking us along. Your awesome and blessed. 🏔️
Timmy . Really enjoyed sharing your trip with you . But getting home after a long trip warms once hart . Regards from South Africa
My husband and I started watching you when you started going up the Duffy. We live in Lillooet. Nice videos 👍

Your a humble man and I would love to drive to Alaska and hangout with you! I’ve never been simply because I don’t know if I’ll ever leave. Thank you for sharing all you do.
I admire you for being true to yourself!!!
Great video looking forward to seeing more
2:13 wow the stars ✨
It takes all kinds my dude. I was once a city guy, but I live on 12 acres now and love it. When it’s really cold, my diesel doesn’t shut off
Thanks for the trip so far!
Great series Timmy, thanks for your efforts.
Home Sweet Home!
Awesome Timmy!

Without a doubt one of the best feelings there is after a long road trip.
Long time follower and driver of the Alaskan Hwy, Dalton Hwy. and Top of the World Hwy. also from Landis, NC Looking forward to seeing what's next.

Really enjoyed the trip.
You must have gotten a lot of smiles and waves from people seeing that bike and kayak on your truck! Glad you're home.
I live in Michigan but visited with my son who lives in Seward for a few weeks for Thanksgiving and we drove around Whittier and Girdwood, and I remember seeing your home. Now I stumbled upon your video and seeing it again. What a small world. I love everything about Alaska. I see why my son and people like yourself live there. Thank you for taking us along your journeys
Thank you:)
Awesome trip this year! ❤️
Thanks for taking us along 👍🏻
glad to be on the trip with you Timmy.🙂

I Hope to see see so much more.
Very cool road trip
outstanding trip❗💯🏆 thanks for the ride 👍
Awesome! Thank you for sharing
I thought your adventures were freaking awesome. I can’t wait to go to Alaska in June 2023
Congratulations and welcome back home! What a journey! Gotta love those old 7.3's... I've got one myself. I find if you take care of them, they will take care of you... for a really long time. Such a great feeling being back home, in the place you're most comfortable. Been to Girdwood several times, myself. Real nice town. So glad you made it. Peace to you from Delta Junction! ~Tim 👍
The one state I would consider calling home if I ever pulled up camp in Texas. Thank you for sharing. Love those northern hi ways. Safe travels.
Congrats on arriving safely.
Hell Tim I’d say this run was even better than the last,stoked for the real adventure back in Alaska this season and that grouse video u mentioned some months back in the premier comments keep up the good work
Well...that was a super fun vacay. I was there at 6 mile when you left and watched the whole thing from start to end...great to be on the journey. A bit jealous but good affirmation on why I stay in Alaska...even a bit emotional to see you come home safe. Thanks Timmy, that was fun.
Right on haha! thanks man
Loved your parakeet story about Little Bro. Did he ever one wheel with you?
nope that was before onewheels were invented haha
