    As a Canadian (Vancouver Island resident), I will use this Video Title as my excuse for not getting anything done today, this week, this month and maybe until next Spring. Thanks ! It feels great to be closed (a good time for some peaceful rest, haha)
    But seriously, thanks for all your work on this video, showing all this scenic beauty. I appreciate this, and the entire series.

    Thank you for taking me with you on your trip. I have really enjoyed all your videos, your commentary, your humour but most of all the fantastic photography. The drone shots of your travels give a real idea of the vastness of the scenery and the stills of the animals were just wonderful. Once again, thank you for letting me join you once a week and for showing me such a fabulous country.

You are entertaining, informative and just clean fun. Thank you so very much for allowing us to go with you. I look forward to seeing all of your future endeavors and adventures. Enjoy spending some time with your family and getting back to your “home”. You will feel like you are living in a mansion after all this time in a smaller setup. Take care and may God continue to bless both of you.

    Great video, edits, beautiful drone videos and music “as usual”. The Jade store. I was smiling when you compare it to the Wall Drug store in SD with signs over at least 100 miles distance 😂. It seems everyone has been there. Like your boondocking spots close to the water, so beautiful, really epic overnight spots. I guess Starlink is a winner in those areas. Whataburger - I guess you miss it 😂. What a great journey 16000 miles, just wow! You guys rock! Btw: with my Greek background I love you named your toad ARTEMIS - the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation - very fitting.

    @steveddavis Год назад +7

    Those fall color shots were spectacular! David saying, "In these parts a fuel station could be a religious experience if you are low on fuel." is so quotable! The devastation from the fires though 😳 I'd ask, "how'd the mouse get in?", but it got cold out, it's an RV, and it's a mouse 🐭 Funnily, we were going into Saskatchewan/Alberta at the same time as you were leaving - maybe we passed each other. Definitely the land of farms! Portal is a huge crossing for hunters from the USA, not much of a town. The little ticket to use the exit gate is unique. Welcome home and thanks for sharing; it has been interesting and entertaining!

    • @SS-wk7fx
      @SS-wk7fx Год назад +1

      I'll bet the mouse got in the slide area since it was misaligned. We had a cat toy that caused a bump out in the slide rubber seal and that's how we think one got in ours. A Victor snap trap and peanut butter got rid of em quickly. Thank you!!!

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Год назад +2

      We think the slide is the mouse entryway. Lots of hunters through Portal. They were the only ones who asked about game or hunt animals being brought back. Fun trip... we're ready for what's next.

    WoW, what a great series!! Looking forward to the next adventure. In terms of the moose, there have actually been a numer of on-going research projects aimed at determining why the moose are moving south into farm land. They have been placing collars and trackers on them. They seem to enjoy the crops (peas, flaxseed, oilseeds etc). The area is free of their natural predators - bears and wolves and there are areas where there is water and they can find shade when needed. Interestingly they have found that some of the moose they have tagged wander everywhere and others never move outside of a 10K radius. Their numbers are incrasing in Sask and decreasing in BC and some of the northern US states.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Год назад +3

      They definitely go where the good food is and easy travels...except the roads! That's interesting, thanks.

    Can I say - I got teary on your behalf saying good-bye to Canada and Alaska? Thank you both so much for the commentary, pictures - both motion and still - with those of us who are not likely to get there in person. Living vicariously, I now appreciate the 'dad' jokes more, and yes, Sondra even the ones that you made inadvertently, and the skill that is required from both of you to get the footage and produce the videos. Have a lovely break, and looking forward to next adventure you share with us all!

    @40:22 - "We are in southern Saskatchewan ... I feel like we're in Nebraska or something." The Great Plains are amazing! The scenery looks the same from Texas to the Tundra. It took me a long time to appreciate it but after living on the edge of it for decades, it feels like home.
    Great video series, David and Sondra. We've enjoyed watching your whole trip to Alaska and the Arrrctic Ocean! Thanks so much for putting it together and welcome back! Sure hope you didn't smuggle that Canadian mouse into the US. 😄

    Greetings and welcome back to reality. We also returned via the Cassier. Did the obligatory stop at Jade City and then onward towards Bell 2. They were in the process of getting power and phone after always running on generator and Iridium phones. Then we headed for Stuart and Hydar. Stayed overnight and had dinner siting outside at a great food truck speaking with the locals. A great evening. I fully understand your mixed feelings as you head for base camp. What a wonderful time you have had and I hope you understand the fun and pleasure you have provided for so many with your banter and fantastic photo and Drone expertise. Looking forward to more "SHINANIGANS". My best to you both.

    By far, THE BEST RV/travel channel on RUclips! Thank you for the wonderful narration, breathtaking photos, reality checks, and even all the Arctic jokes shared during your summer travels. Love the fact that you show the great and not so great aspects of RV life. Thankfully, you haven’t “sold out” to Brooklyn Bedding and the rest for product endorsements! Keep up the great work and hope to see you on the road some day, maybe even at a Whataburger! Lol!

      Thank you, Linda. You are too kind. It's how we travel, don't like drama but sometimes things happen. It's how you handle those times which tell the tale.

    Interesting, coming across this video, having travelled to many of the same locations. Jade City, here in Canada, has its own television show...didn't know if you knew that? We did the Cassiar highway as well, went to Stewart, Hyder, then up to Salmon Glacier (well worth going). We took our truck & slide in camper up to Salmon Glacier, but your Jeep would be a much easier drive! Love the scenic views of the drone, thank for sharing them, along with the lovely music chosen while watching! Regarding moose, back when my kids were young, I use to 'hunt' moose, up along the Alaska highway, and in about 40 miles! Back in those days, we use to say there's a moose behind every tree, as they where so numerous, but that changed over the years, once the oil & gas companies fixed up the roads into the area...so much, where those same abundant regions, we would spend 2 weeks looking for a moose, and see none! There 'where' Bison in the same region, and on my very last trip, we won (got, in a lottery) what was called a 'Group hunt' for two Bison, either gender. Thus, as we all typically know, when you're offered something like that, you see NONE! But on one of our last days before heading home, one partner and I travelled a long distance from camp, and near the end of the day came upon two Bison, so we filled our tags, and I've never hunted since, as our kids had grown (they grew up on moose meat) and one daughter was vegetarian, so sustenance of moose wasn't needed, so I chose not to go any more. All our hunts where in groups of anywhere from 4 to 8 people, so it fed a lot of people over the years of course. We got to learn how to 'call' moose (males especially have a particular grunt) of which I used once, to where a moose turned, and started running back towards us! My brother could call elk (there were many elk in the area as well) and got some nice one's over the years. As for eating, they love leaves, and will eat just the wigs on a tree if that's all that's available. In ponds, they will stand and eat the vegetation of the bottom of the ponds/lakes. Wolves are their main predator, and bears can be as well, especially when the little one's are born unfortunately. So, moose are vegetarians for the most part, and yes I've seen many many dead on the side of highways, along with deer, which are plentiful even more than moose. What a wonderful trip you had, and I'll be looking forward to the many other video's of yours I need to catch up on, and future as well.

    Lots of moose on the prairies. They eat in the grain fields. Moose only started showing up here about 30 years ago. Now we’re getting bears and timber wolves

    • @bigtruckbigtravels

    I've enjoyed watching your travels in Alaska. I was in the Army from 1972-75, stationed at Ft. Greely, and assigned to the Gerstle River Test Site, at M.P. 1393 on the Alaska Highway. I was discharged on 13Apr75, and drove home to Kentucky, on the Alaska Highway. Sadly we were young, and just out of the Army, so we didn't stop and smell the roses. We didn't see any of the things I've seen here. When you stopped at Gerstle River, and mentioned it was a favorite spot, that was good because I've been in that area before it was a place to stay. The area was flooded when you came through. Has that become a common occurance up there. I don't remember that ever happened when I was there.

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  8 месяцев назад

      Not too common. This flooding was caused by large amounts of ice and a quick spring thaw which clogged the flow. Neat area. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

      Would you please take a second to tell me where you got those glasses you're wearing at 36:55? This is the kind my mother is looking for and she asked me to drop you a note after we watched this video. Are they prescription or just sun shades? Even the color is what she wants. She'd prefer prescription capable but could wear over her regulars. Likes side wrap. And thank you both for sharing your journeys. She and I plan to do this trip. Happy travels!

    Your site just came up today. Hi fr Vancouver Island Canada. Loved your video of your return from Alaska. I've been on a road trip to Yukon and peaked into Alaska at stewart/hyder to see the glaciers. Also cruised to Alaska and it's not the same as a road trip. I love the way you do your videos taking to each other. Great transitions, conversation, and music.
