Something is absolutely off on this channel. The footage is absolutely breathtaking. They should be at 3M subs by now. I am hooked on their videos because the views are spectacular. Come on, RUclips, push the channel.
Thank you so much! I hope RUclips is listening...
Hey, I just picked up on your channel and I'm really enjoying this series. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching.
Incredible video!
Thanks so much for watching!
Subs are growing fast, Congrats
Thank you!
The Cassiar is my favorite route, some pretty epic wild dispersed camping. Be safe and enjoy!
I agree, it’s so spectacular. Thanks for watching.
After seeing all the timber out that way, I wonder how long it'll be before they clear cut most of the area. I know that Vancouver Island they're clear cutting areas where there are highly endangered marmot's without a care one about how devastating it is to the environment and the wild life that have limited old growth forest left to survive in. Enjoying the video though. Happy trails and safe travels to the both of you!
Thanks for watching.
Stunning views, great advice, excited about each step of the way - good to be a Patreon subscriber and get you travel plans - I’m going to share right now.
Thanks Denny! The Cassiar field guide will be out soon. Huge thanks for your support!!!
Single wide under a car port makes a lot of sense, helps keep house warmer and cooler! Hmm...and you have covering when you go outside!
Yea, They know what is best for sure. I thought it was amazing and so different then what you see in the lower 48.
Great job with the stakine river scene.
Thanks Buck!
You went too early! Bears wake up late! 😂
I think your right. Lol.
Know that in BC it is illegal to camp overnight in pull-outs/rest areas - but in AK you’d be fine unless signage explicitly forbids it. The provincial parks are lovely but in high season you do well to get a site by 4pm.
Thanks for watching!
OK, I figured it out.
How do you get good enough mpg to travel? I just bought my revel 2023 and cannot get any better than 12 mpg! Will probably sell with less than 3000 miles…
There are so many variables to good MPG. We get 13-16 with all our kayaks on the roof. So we never had the hopes of getting max MPG. But if you're in a stock Revel, I’d think you could do better. Here are a few tips. MPG drops over 65mph. We think of 63 as the magic number for the best speed and economy. It's a high-profile vehicle, so you are pushing a lot of air. Mountains will knock this back too. Keep your van as light as you can. Don't bring unneeded stuff. We aren't the best at this one. Watch tire pressure. We run 50psi in front and 70psi in the rear. Also, corn diesel will lower MPG. If you live in the Midwest, that's harder to avoid. The best advice is to slow down and take in the scenery. That makes the most significant difference.
Any blackflies to go with those mosquitoes?
We haven’t seen any black flies yet, fingers crossed it stays that way.
I started my planing in November 2023. planning on Cassiar Highway. What Glacier isn at the ~9;00 min mark? Is the Cassiar dirt in that area or is this off the highway to Hyder?
Hey, This is the Salmon Glacier near Hyde, AK. It's it's own diversion. A really cool spot to check out.
This is the Salmon Glacier near Hyder, AK. It's a fun diversion.
@@Famagogo I figured that out later when you talked about being there. I was impatient. I'll be going from Vancouver to Skagway in May 2024. Driving my Cayenne--not camping. (I will have a sleeping bag & warm clothes in case & will have a satellite messenger in case of emergency.)
OK suspense......
Ya ever heard of Thermocell for mosquitoes??
Yes, I’ve used it with varying degrees of success. I’m not a fan of breathing it though. Have you had good luck with it?
@@Famagogo in a camper park setting, don't know if those skeeters are the same or worse. Worked well for me when I was at Disney's rv Park last year, and they advertise a mobile one u can clip on your belt
