    Congrats on making it all the way man! Been an awesome time watching your Journey. If you're debating on your next adventure, I would highly suggest doing a cross Canada trip. Lots to see, lots to do, modernized, nice people, well worth it if you do that. Thanks for sharing this journey with us all. I look forward to every video. Cheers.

    I had a great uncle that drove up there many times. My mother tells me he always brought FOUR spare tires with him. I imagine the roads were even worse back then though. Get a panini press! Or just grill them on a pan like a grilled cheese. I do hear toaster ovens work a lot better than regular RV propane ovens though, so that might indeed be a good investment. Definitely more useful than a microwave, IMO. Your pizza crust was probably even better that go because it got to sit in the fridge and ferment a couple of days. That's the best method I've found..I make the dough on a Friday night and don't actually use it until Sunday or so.

    I drove that in 89 and alot of the the AlCAN was gravel back then with some sections of pavement. Now it's almost all paved with small sections under repair. The road to Yellow Knife NWT is an interesting ride, gravel but with some jagged rocks that puncture tires. Fun changing a tire at 2AM in twilight with a grisly a few hundred yards away.

    My two brothers and my mom drove the Alaska highway back in 1976 I believe it was from Anchorage to Dallas in a 1966 mustang. My brothers were like 17 and 18 or so. It was all gravel back then and they made the trip I think in 7 days. My brother hated Alaska and wanted to get back to Texas as fast as he could lol. My dad moved up there in 1974 and stayed the rest of his life until he was 82 about 2 years ago he passed. He was a bush pilot most of those years, lived in a remote cabin for at least 30 years off grid before off grid was a thing lol. The only way to get there was by plane, boat and snow mobile in the winter when the rivers were froze up. I lived in Anchorage for 5 years from 1976 to 1981. Enjoy your stay.

    A silicone brush. You can brush the bread of your sandwich with butter on the outer side and "toast it" in the frying pan on each side, then cover the pan for a minute or two and you can get the panini effect. You can also just put the sandwich in the oven on broil (and broil to brown the pizza "rolls". You really should make a van life cookbook😋 When is the celebratory Alaska Haircut 😁😁

    I love your video's Ryan, made me seriously consider van life at some point later in my life, I love the freedom since most of my life I have been forced to take care of my mother with dementia. I love the idea of being totally free.
    I even have an idea for a custom van build I want to share here. I spend much of my relax time in a recliner and because of a back problem I now sleep in this recliner, my van would revolve around a recliner that would be on a track enabling it to be the driver seat, bed and relaxing area all in one. The entertainment area would be opposite the door, kitchen would be in the back and the recliner would swivel so it could turn from looking at the TV to the kitchen to the door to the front of the vehicle. I could be watching TV or w/e then swivel the recliner to the left, get out and cook a meal, sit down in the recliner to watch TV and eat the meal. Then if I wanted to leave the vehicle I turn the recliner 180 degrees and the door is right there. When it is time to go I move the recliner along its track to the front and lock it in the driver position and off we go. The driver seat, couch and bed all in one. I could also sit in this recliner with the side door open and enjoy the views. Wouldn't this be amazing.

    A tip on easy cleaning and avoiding the campfire smell on pans.. grab some ash from the firepit, mix with water and make a paste. Cover the bottom and sides with the paste and then cook on the firepit. All you have to do is rince the bottom and sides with water. Very easy cleanup

    Ryan, can you imagine my parents is a newlywed driving up the Alaskan highway from Texas to Fairbanks because my father was in the military and that’s where he was stationed at Fort Wainwright. The road was completely gravel no cement and had to be pulled by a big scraper tractor threw some of it, as it was unpassable by car. Then coming back down the Alaskan highway with two elementary age children, my brother and I six years later still graveled road still having to be pulled by the big tractor, stayed in the lower 48 visiting relatives only to drive right back up the highway with my brother and I in tow. This went on multiple times through my childhood. We finally moved stateside when I was getting close to high school high school age. It was a huge adventure. Each time we traveled my parents made it very interesting for my brother and I, and kept us intrigued on what we would see next but the 10 Day drive became overwhelming some of the trips.
