    32:52 We went to Alaska when it was still a territory. It became a state about six months later. The military flew my mom, brother, and me up, but my dad drove us all back to the 48 on the still mostly gravel Alcan Highway.

    Loved seeing the first segment of the journey north! I'm not surprised the two doggos were zipping around when they could - it's hard to be a pretty high energy mix of hunting and herding canine on long road trips, even with as many walks/runs as can be fit in. 😊 I had to do a cross-country trip with a middle-aged Sheltie once and even that had some challenging moments! But so glad you are all now up in AK together. Looking forward to the next travel episode. Thanks for taking us along and the clips of beautiful scenery, towns, and campgrounds on the way. Cheers from here in Summerville, SC. 😎🌞🌴

    Before applying vinyl graphics, spray the surface with non ammonia window cleaner before placing. This allows you to slide/move the graphic into the perfect spot. Then use a credit card edge pushing from the center out to the edges and remove air bubbles.

    Those hangers have an alternate stiffing bracket that welds in just above the bolt. I hope you put on really good tires on that.

    Just started watching your channel , I’m from northern Wisconsin but my dream is to move there one day I’ve been watching the cleanup lots of scrap metal and wood . I have friends that live in the Fairbanks area. I enjoy watching your channel any plans for a garden .

    You should not be chilling the weld with water, let it cool naturally. Rapid cooling will lead to brittleness and incorrect mecanical properties.

  • @JustChillin350
    @JustChillin350 Месяц назад

    First and foremost I enjoy your channel and appreciate the honest content. A question from an ex-welder fully qualified in stick, tig, mig and heil arc. Why did you thermal shock the weld with the spray bottle? It’s not a criticism, just not familiar with the process, is it tempering related?

    • @OffGridInAlaska
      @OffGridInAlaska  Месяц назад

      Thank you for watching! The water was to cool the area because there are wires inside the frame rails.

    Just a little advice from a new and hopefully long time subscriber. When your panning, try to slow down. I've watched your first 4 videos and want to keep watching as well as recommend your channel but the fast camera movements are headache inducing. Love the content, just slooooow down a bit. Excited for your journey!!

    When you have structural damage in Australia you have to have a qualified and registered engineer to certify the repairs . You cannot register the vehicle to you have that certificate.
    Doesnt this apply?

  • @MileZero-yu6wq

    Great video looks like you had a great trip. Years ago the Alaskan end of the highway was always Fairbanks but then it was determined that there was a road to Delta Junction and so it was changed. On the Canadian end it has been Dawson Creek although there was a road to Charlie Lake BC at the time 52 miles north of Dawson Creek as the Fort St John area was established years before. The actual marker can be seen held up by Army personnel out in front of the fire hall in Charlie Lake. At this location there were many construction camps.

    I found myself watching your trip on maps. How interesting! If my health was better, it would be a fun trip to make from Minnesota. I figure it would be about 500 more miles for my husband and I. But then again, we would need to make a few stops to see some sights. It could be a long trip. Enjoy every day and seeing God’s beauty! Prayers for safe travels! ❤❤❤

    For dog pleasure while traveling place a thick cushion or covered foam on back seat. It'll be much more comfortable and it elevates pooches so they can better enjoy the view. Such an easy way to show your pets you're thinking about their happiness.

    Might be nice if you acknowledge the beautiful province of British Columbia (BC) in Canada, and give mention/credit to the fact that Hope is in BC Canada....though I guess that Americans figure only places in the U.S. "count." Sad but typical
