As someone who grew up in Caroline it's funny hearing the trunk road described as remote lol. I know this area like the back of my hand, awesome seeing someone get excited about it. 17:47 on a grade 6 school trip we randomly decided to climb that peak in the background and at the top there should still be a note which we cleverly wrote "Caroline Mountain". I remember we were all wearing skateboarding shoes and it was not easy lmao
Worked in the oil patch and have driven the trunk road from Grande Prairie to Sundre. Tourists miss lots by missing this road,safe travels! I live in Red Deer
I used to travel up that road (80's) in my Chevy Chevette! No phone, no gps, no problem. 😂
One word “ BEAUTIFUL “” I love it. Your videos are soooo relaxing. The music I love too. Thank you. Take care
Been up and down every road and goat trail from Red Deer to The park. Worked in Nordegg on the rigs for years and wifes family fished every creek west of Rocky. You should call Pather River Adventures and book yourself a spot in their campsite. Book a ride up to Top camp on horseback -you won't regret it. Take a tour 8km west of Sundre, head south 55km to the T , turn left and follow to the blue bridge. Left across the bridge and right onto the Panther Main road. At km6 is panther River Adventures. You can keep going on the Panther River Main to KM 25 which is pretty much the Banff National park boundary...Oh yeah, take your gold pan and hot every creek you see !
Sweeeeeeeeet. I'm head that way in my car sometime. I live in Rocky Mountain House. Not far from me. Love the vid man
I've done that route dozens of times when I lived in Alberta. The biggest issue I found with campers/trailers on that route, is the amount of fine dust that gets sucked into your unit. You need an air tight unit or you need to seal vents and the HVAC.
Agree, lots of dusting to
Do
Beautiful video you have captured so many gorgeous images and shared them with us. Thank you.
My Wife and I just spent 3 days at km 12 by the bridge crossing the river.
Great spot.
Kevin , you actually drove by our camper. We took a drive west on the David Thompson Hyw. the morning the RCMP was setting up for the training exercise. Lol.
Good job Kevin.
I've hunted that area for 25+ years. Beautiful country.
My brother whats the name of this locations please
@@BionicOutdoorsMan It depends were you are exactly along that stretch of the FTR. There are many different boundary districts and common names for those areas. You could be in Big Horn or close to Banff National Park or Kanaskis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberta_Highway_734
It's good hunting, and fishing. Lots of wildlife and predators. Alot more predators making a comeback since the 90s. Makes sense, as pretty much every predator was hunted with extreme prejudice since the late 1800s to the early 1980s by trappers, ranchers, farmers, and homesteaders.
@@PondstompingAdventures It should also be noted that hunting and fishing pays for all of the parks and rec areas in Canada and as a land owner with livestock I have seen slight increases in predators over the last 20 years. These numbers go up and down cyclically like the temp of the earth.
@89fingerslouieXRP yes, very true. Cycles are becoming more stable. Before the 90s, you would be hard pressed to find or see many big predators. They play a vital role, even when unfortunately they target livestock on occasion. Herded cattle for 2.5 years back in my 20s. Good humble work, small jingle in the pants for the weekend, back when things were cheap. Some landowners land I've hunted on specifically said not shoot the wolves as they keep the cougars and bears out of their area. Some have found that they only lose a calf or cow if it was injured or sick. More often, they are more inclined to prey on the deer in the area, then move on. Every landowner situation and area is unique, and their wishes should be respected. I've personally never had an issue with wolves, been within 20 yards of them, no issue. Even a group of 7 just looked and left. The alpha followed beside about 50 yards away. As soon as I was 200 yards from where I spotted them, he or she left to join the others. Beautiful, but must be respected. Cougars, on the other hand, make me edgy. I can't really trust them much. As humans are just 2 legged, slow-moving deer to them. I'll observe them with care and from a great distance if I come across one.
Kevin, Thanks for the GREAT video!
Definitely bear country!
Beautiful Country. Thanks for
What a Beautiful Location Brother
I've traveled trunk road from Grand Prairie to Cochrane mostly for work sometimes for fun
Great video. Love the scenery, music and laid back content.
It's clear howuch work you've put into these.
Keep it up!
It
Thank you so much!!!😊
I’ve been up and down that rd as a kid in the 70’s. it’s still the same. Hard to believe.
Ram River falls..nice
Great views brother. Your living my dream! Safe travels and hope to see more!
Alberta is a beautiful place. But so is the rest of Canada. I work in the oilfield services. I traveled more back roads than you could imagine. I always tell people you need to get off the black top to really see the beauty. And personally i prefer off road i find it much safer than hi way travel.
A little trick to keeping dust of your camper. Turn your bathroom fan to suck air in. If your fan doesn’t do it I would recommend changing your fan to a reversible one.
This ^. Close everything else up and let the fan pressurize the unit.
You are living my dream!
I lived in rocky for 4 years and traveled the trunk road lots to fish ! Was a nice watch to bring me back , cheers!
Another great video. 😊
Yeah I'd pick the river over privacy nest, no better white sound than the river n its beauty. 🍻
That little creek is the North Ram great fishing
We spend every moment we can in that area!! Wicked spots heading north also!!
Your fine we work the rigs on these roads all the time your not as far out as you think you are 🤣🤣🤣🤣 keep going you’ll be in grand prairie
Mabey we will cross paths out there as I plan on headed out at the end of the month....great videos thanks for sharing livin my dream...
I would not call traveling the trunk road remote. I would call a horseback ride into the back country remote.
Hi from Australia love the music you play and the places are just gorgeous keep up the great adventures Kevin xx
Hello Autralia
Kevin! I am really enjoying your videos! Keep up the great work ❤ Always looking forward to the next one you put out 😊
Thank you 😊
@@KevinWaldsAdventures thank YOU!
Hi Kevin, wow absolutely stunning waterfall, thank you for taking me down there, definitely couldn't of done that in my wheelchair ❤.
I to fell asleep watching your video had a stressful weekend with my Mom, she's been throwing out all of dads stuff.
So been going through it all before donating it, very stressful hence me falling asleep.
Beautiful beach area are you going for a paddle ???
Take care mate X X X
You take care as well!!!
I will
I'm headed out next weekend for a month to the west koots, I might take that route on my way back north.
شكرآ لك سيد كيفين مشاركتنا معك هذه الرحلة والفيديو الجميل والرائع.
Beautiful Video right
Nice
Great road to drive. Always lots of boondocking sites. Ram Falls never seems to have very many people camping there whenever I have been thru. Like it up the Hummingbird road
Sshhhhh
Hope you get to make it to the states soon I live on Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan it’s really beautiful here like where you are from definitely worth checking out!
I worked up there back in the 90's
Pepper Lake is close and Hummingbird creek is very close as well.
Think we may have seen you out in sundre last weekend!
Kevin from a old camper to a younger camper , leave your roof vent open when driving on dusty gravel roads you will find that you don't get a lot of dust build up inside your rig .
My dad litterly just mentioned this to me also! I’m going to give it a try! Thank you!
Looks like a nice easy road eh.
Dude I did that road with a 32’ trailer and a 2012 mega cab Ram lol what an idiot I was!
Great video 👏
Took my daughter down that forestry road 2 weeks ago so we could go horseback riding. Between Nordegg and the Ya Ha Tinda Ranch we saw 2 herds of big horn sheep, 4 herds of wild horses, 1 black bear and a herd of elk 💝😎
Go riding at Diamond J ranch, right before Big Horn falls and Ya Ha Tinda. The owner, Janice is fantastic! Lots of public camping around, waterfalls and the trail ride was wonderful 💖
It is truly an awesome area! I see so many wild horses in the area it’s unreal, love showing friends that have never seen horses in the wild!
You ended up near calgay, i promise you will regret it! 😂 come to okanagan british columbia, its something you wont regret.
I camp at economy lake campsite at forestry trunk road all the time
Seems like on a long trip those steps might beat the heck out of the portion below your camper door, does anything hold it against the camper once it's stowed? Looks like it's free to swivel and smack the camper. Stoked to follow on the adventure, cheers!
It's a nice road, not as bad as many years ago. Been up and down it, even weekly sometimes, for the last 40 plus years. Corkscrew mountain, can make your ass pucker up and want to cling to the side of the mountain at times. Not a good road for 2 vehicles to be passing each other in some places. One mistake and kiss your ass goodbye.
Can you change the aperture on that camera? Is blurring everything behind you… not offence but the view it’s amazing.
Thanks
You look like David Wald
Great video! Thanks! But I'm curious - where did the dust come from?
The road is very dusty lol
The song in the video is so nice, can you tell me which singer sang it
Yea, Nordegg is where Les Stroud and Todd Standing visited for Les's Survivorman episodes on Bigfoot. Those forestry roads.
Be on the look out especially at night if you are sitting outside with a campfire. Good Luck!
Cool I didn't know that, thanks.
Did you camp up Hummingbird Creek?
Are you coming south? Before Rocky Mountain house
Keep the dust out
I'd like to know where FTR comes out in Hinton.
Comes out just past Hinton going west
Down you go to Hummingbird Creek
Ssshhhh
Are u gonna hit baseline mountain for MTB
What is the title of your music
Hi Do you interested in adding some LED upgrade to your rig? We hope to do some sponsorship with you!
Do you get 750k per tank with the camper on?
Yes
Come pick me up next time !!! 🤦♂️
I thought we were bros lmao …
Just joking
Where is the dust coming into the camper?
From what I can tell majority is at the door, the seals on it are 23 years old lol
Time for a pool noodle! 😂
What road is that?
Forestry trunk road, goes from Coleman ab to grande cache ab, this is just a part of the road
Bigfoot country there🦍👣.
See any grizzlies
None actually, more north there more out in the open but mostly see black bars as you go south.
good luck on your new life just subscribed to help you out don't get discouraged you are living a life MANY of us want to
There’s a place just off 67st. Lo cost propane, they’re cheap as well.
Asked my wife to marry me right at the Ram falls lookout. Great views! Oh she said yes. Lol
That’s an awesome place to do that congratulations!! I seen lo cost propane on my google search! I’ll give them a try next time I’m through there!
