- We're finally driving the Alaska Highway. Join us for the ride and see what it is like to drive the world famous ALCAN Highway to the top of the world.
The Route we're taking to drive to Alaska is from Canmore Alberta to Skagway Alaska through BC and the Yukon. The ALCAN (Alaska Highway) actually doesn't start until Dawson Creek. From there the Alaska Highway get's pretty remote and not a little bit rough.
This is the season 4 finale of the Hasta Alaska Travel Series

Damn those cliff hangers! Epic vid, this is better than television!
God, this guy lived for 3 and a half years in an indie music video. I really want to do this now once I get out of college(or in the summer during college)
I think is a very unique human being. Not only does he always find a way to fix the van including multiple total engine rebuilds to feeding himself Alaska and others. He is an amazing people person and not any other individual could have made such an amazing success of a trip such as this. Making every place into a unique and fun having experience.
The previous episode and the first few minutes of this episode brought back beautiful memories from my visit to Banff and Jasper, AB. Driving on the roads of the Rocky Mountains was such a treat! My hands were on the wheel but couldn't help my eyes from stealing long gazes at the snow-capped mountains towering above me. Having a hearty steak dinner with a 360 view of the Rockies after a day of snowboarding wasn't too bad either!
Just finished binge watching the whole Series. What an amazing life. You are a big inspiration. Thank you so much. Happy Travels :)
This is the Season 4 Finale - a H U G E Thanks to our supporters on Patreon, without you this season wouldn't have happened.
*A NOTE ABOUT SEASON 5* - Leah and I spent SIX MONTHS filming EVERY DAY to capture season 5. It's going to be our best content yet. After 5 years of doing this for free we would really like to encourage our loyal viewers to help us to continue this series.
We're not asking for you to help us travel and we've already done the filming but we really need the support of the viewers if we are to continue spending 50 hours+ a week creating this type of content for you.
Join the Kombi Crew to access private videos and to help us create this series.
Watch Season 5 Here: ruclips.net/video/TmcaLHutdhA/видео.html
I have tears of joy when you were stating how you were near Alaska and close to realizing your dream. You are truly an adventure, someone I admire. I will be joining your efforts by supporting you with Patreon. Happy birthday Leaha. You are gorgeous. Love the show.
Thanks so much Michael
you've done such an awesome job at these videos man! inspiring many people like me to get out and enjoy the wonder of life! In the future I plan to do a similar trip. I will donate when I have a bit extra cash I just wanted to say thanks!
Kombi life you have a story to tell your grandkids good conversation at the bar how much money did it cost you
we're guessing that children of the future wont listen to stories, they'll just watch RUclips...so we're recording all of our stories now, for them to watch later :D
Great job on the filming and production. The farther North you go in Canada the worse the bugs are. I flew my little plane all the way to the Arctic..........you wouldn't believe the bugs there. Best to visit the area in the fall after the first frost!
Ben, your perseverance and spirit is amazing. Never stop. So grateful to all of you for motivating us and showing me how to be a better human. ✌🏽
Beautiful episode! Love all the nature and the hot springs and the shooting stars/northern lights! Well done!
Oh no...major cliff hanger 😱😊👍
Amazing series!!!
This is why I love internet, because talented and inspirating people like you get to share their experiences
This drive is more spectacular during the winter.
You're still Fucking going ? I started watching at, what you do, episode 1 a few days ago thought this would've been over ages ago. You lot are still trucking. Good on you lasses and lads, keep on keeping on !
Best of luck and happy travels !
My 18 year old at the time GMC truck made the trip with no mechanical problems except for an exhaust manifold heat shield that came loose and caused a short between the hot wire from the battery and the ground from the engine block. It fried the insulation on the ground cable from the battery, and disconnecting the battery while driving seemed to work OK as we made our way down from Eagle Plains on the Dempster Highway where the trouble began down to White Horse where I just simply removed the heat shield and we made it down the Cassiar and back to Vancouver with no more trouble except for a headlamp dimmer switch which pitched us into total darkness near Stewart, BC, where we ended up camping for the night... That was a great adventure!
this episode was EPIC! what a stunning compilation of so many natural wonders! nice people a kombi and even the northern lights!!! thanks for all work and filming, and especially sharing this with us! as soon as i can afford it i'll be a kombicrewmember! i promise!
When the welcome to Alaska sign showed up at the end I felt so much joy because that was the exact sign I stopped at during my visit to Skagway
That cliff jumping shot was amazing ! I wanna jump !
Hi Ben, your baby food lids are covering the fan housing hot air outlets which are meant to be ducted with flexible aluminum piping to channel air to heat exchangers. The heat exchangers use the hot exhaust pipe to heat the air inside and route it to the front of the van via the center pipe that runs underneath to the dash vents in the front. If your red levers do not work in the dash, the cables are probably rusted solid like mine were and snapped off. The cables run under the van to flaps on the front of the heat exchangers which can be opened to control warm air to the front of the van. If you dont have heat exchangers you should block the holes to allow more cooling air to flow over the cylinders and cylinder heads. However you wont get any warm air to the front of van when it gets cold and screen fogs up.
how is every video better than the last??? best RUclipsr going!!!!!
+sam jackson wow thanks Sam, huge compliment.
Man, stumbled across this channel and when the video came up I was like '21 minutes long? What the hell?'. Watched the while thing though. Great stuff, definitely appreciate that top notch editing.
thanks buddy
ever since i knew you blog i spent all day long watched your video,
Que sortudos vocês são. Tenham uma boa viagem sempre.
These just get better and better :)
Alaska is the most awesome dog.
I noticed that when you were reinstalling the baby food container tops in the fan shroud that the ribbed air hoses that go from the fan shroud and down through the engine sheet metal to the heater boxes were missing. Blocking off this air to the heater boxes is ok as long as you don't need defrost or heat. I want to STRONGLY recommend that the hole in the engine sheet metal also be blocked off just as tightly as you sealed the fan shroud with the baby food container tops. The correct size freeze plugs work well too and are available at a decent auto parts store. The reason I STRESS THIS is being an air cooled engine the cooler the air cooling the engine the cooler the engine operating temperature will be. If the engine sheet metal has a hole in it (from the fresh air hoses and their seals not installed) then the engine cooling fan will source the air to cool the engine from beneath the engine and not from the louvered vents on the side of the body. This source of air has just left the cylinder heads and cylinders (cooloing the engine) and is very hot. Sucking this very hot air through the hole in the engine sheet metal and attempting to cool the engine with it will cause an over heating problem BIG TIME. To stop recirculating this hot air is EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT! Please make sure these holes are sealed and that the rubber gasket between the body and the engine sheet metal has no rips or tears. Inspect this gasket closely all the way around the engine. Each time you remove and reinstall the engine is the easiest time to do this.
If the fresh air hoses are being used then still pay close attention to the condition of the rubber seals around each fresh air hose at the bottom (just on top of the engine sheet metal).
May I recommend that you get an infared pyrometer. What ever surface you point it's lazer on will tell you the temperature of that surface. Harbor Freight sells one for a reasonable price. I use this as a diagnostic tool all the time. (If I think I have a brake that is dragging or sticking on then just shine the lazer on each brake to find which one is the hottest!)
For more perminate monitoring you could consider installing these gauges: oil PSI, oil Temperature, Cylinder Head Temperature & Intake Manifold Vacuum.
Since your engine is fuel injected it should have an oxygen sensor and being able to monitor how rich or lean the engine is running would help ward off trouble before it happens and a gauge displaying this information would be just the thing to have for this.
One last trick I use cautiously is when trying to find a vacuum leak I spray short bursts (using the red tube) of brake clean in a suspected area. If the engine idle speed increases then you have found your unmetered (not going through the Mass Air Flow Meter) air leak. This type of air leak will cause the mixture to be lean contributing to a hotter operating temperature possibly burning a valve or a piston or both.
While at an auto parts store see if they can sell you a longer than stock ignition coil wire. This will allow you to mount the coil to a surface ( on the driver's side (left) of the engine compartment there may be the bottom portion of the spare tire well, as an example) away from the heat and vibration of the engine. You will need a longer power lead and a longer wire to the distributor as well. Now it will stop shaking the rivets apart at the coil. Also please plug up the holes in the air shroud where the mounting bolts ripped loose to stop that air leak. As your trip continues please contact me with any Kombi Questions as I have worked on VWs for over 50 years. I am sorry to have mentioned these observations now as I think you said you were looking at your 11th engine rebuild. Also please check out a website: www.thesamba.com as this is an excellent source for parts and information for your Kombi. Lastly if you have a question please just ask and I will get you an answer!
Happy Motoring!

Alaska is such a beautiful soul. Ben, you were so blessed to have her on your awesome journey :-)
Greetings--G'day...Discovered your video Saturday the 30- December-17...Thoroughly enjoyed each second of your trip up to Alaska...It is wonderful to see young people such as you are doing such wonderous travelling while still young...Godspeed you each and every day and be Happy...From Maria Trayter in the Riverina region of N.S.W.Au.
thanks Ben .....cliffhamger !....happy birthday L your gorgeous xxxx
Well done, you two. Keep up the awesome work!
I have acreage in the state of Maine which is also mosquito haven. At the campsite there I use electronic battery operated bug repellers that run on one AA battery. They are amazing meaning they actually work and the battery too lasts for many hours.
best chanel ever, I'm starting my binge watch now. I really want to give back to you for creating this series. amazing and inspiring! I will do my best to join your patreon and give.
cheers Johnny - glad you are enjoying the series!
i cant believe the Kombi made it after all these years through rough terrain etc.
9:48 the Alaska state dance, you get the hang of it pretty quickly.
Absolutely wonderful! I love the series!!!! I am in North East Texas and have room for a visit from a van life traveler! I am also looking to get a van myself and start some adventures 😍😁
Jason Anderson Hey, I'm from North Texas! Texas rules! Hoping to start van life once I'm done with college in a year.
Superb episode, period.
+pete49327 thanks Pete
I drove Alaskan Highway in 1989. It was mostly dirt. I hear it has been paved. The worst mosquitos ever in my life.!
Wow 18:05 was beautiful
Waiting for Next... yahooooo.... 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀👏👏👏👏
you are simply a great person
Cliff Hanger Can't wait till next episode .. VW
Season 5 is going to be Awesome!
---- Just finished this drive this past July! My crew and I hit 12,400 miles in 24 days! What a beautiful trip, from DC to Anchorage to Portland and back ;) Do yourself a favor and drop everything for an adventure.
Dude, awesome. Watched the whole series. If you ever find yourselves back in the UK then there's a room/driveway for the night near The Peak District!
+Shabadaybdeyb ead awdwda aw thanks mate
ill never forget the signs that remind you 'you are beyond the help of law enforcement" livn
Muito legal, vou continuar acompanhando essa aventura, uhulll!!!!
nice story...greetings from croatia
That moment when you realize that they literally went through your town and didn't notice tell you watched the episode a second time.
KDCraftsLunch SAME I LIVE IN FORT SAINT JOHN WHICH IS ON THE ALASKA HIGHWAY BRUH
Also my dad is a trucker so me and my dad truck the Alaska highway every year or so it’s pretty lit
You have completed the giant journey that you never saw an end to and now your at the end........
I enjoyed the video! Keep it up!
Once again you fail to disappoint.I'm curious about your current location.
I love this!!! Brazil!!!
well sir you have converted me to van life. I'm hitting the road form Alabama. Heading west to Cali. Hitting a couple of stops along the way. then from there heading south. I may not be in a Kombi but it'll be awesome. thanks bud! happy trails
Awesome Brandon! Van Life rocks. Be sure to visit Baja cali some time
I am most definitely going to go through Baja going to try to learn how to surf in Cali before I go
brandon sampley how was it
Horseshoe Lake is damn cold!
Hahaha the most cliff hanger ending ever
Oh Imiss the mountains.
no extra gas tank! very brave...
now that's a cool life
Ellooo from Alaska safe travels!!✌
What editing software do you use ? What year was the Kombi made ? How much do you receive for each person who watches a full advertisement ? (I've owned many Kombi'sand visited baja) Keep doing what you're doing !
at the very least, start a trip like this with a brand-new engine; even if the van is used. I have enjoyed watching your progress even though I only started following you this last year. Mainly, I followed because, as a youngster I used to take short trips to Baja, and around the California Coast in a Vw Campervan. I have been getting the itch after many years of city living, and I may set-off soon on a trip like this. Good luck on your next trip.

those busses are notorious for breakdown. the engine was a 1940 design and to this day still made the same way. if you get a year out of a new one it's a miracle. everyone puts the ecotec swap in them or something equivalent, then they're reliable. we've had several kombis and they are so much fun when they run
Pokechop, some people have been putting in a 2.1 Suzuki engine that fits well. Heard of that? I will be leaving on a (perhaps) never-ending trip within a couple of years, and I am weighing my options. A California Synchro might work, but we don't have them in America.
also, Pokechop, being that it is such a weak engine, carrying up to four passengers and gear, going up mountains...too much work for it. I had a Vw camper with a Corvair engine that gave no problems until I had a terrible oil leak and I left it on the side of the road where it broke down.
Mario Cooke
thanks for the reply. I haven't heard of the suzuki swap, but I know they're reliable engine's. I bought a wrecked be TDI from Craigslist and a friend put that motor in our last one. it worked great. pretty fast and powerful and 35 mpg highway. I put about 100k miles on that bus. recently sold it for a lot more than I paid, but maybe get another one someday
Or, you get a old classic Mercedes Van with a big diesel. They run for 1 Million Miles with no breakdown.
Hi Ben, when you are back home come do a lap of the UK with me and my camper!
In remote and prairie parts of Alberta. U will hear coyotes and wolfs nonstop during the night
Well done! Looking forward to season 5. After Alaska, are you crossing over to the east coast and then southwards back to Argentina ?????
That would be.....incredible fabulastic
Ben and Leah: what were the 3 items Ulrich gave you? He said you could not get by on your trek through Alaska without. One was a metal looking thing and a green bottle. Thanks!
I don't know why I love this life. .
yet working in cubicle dreaming about it.
thank you for it all
you're welcome, thanks for watching
Great footage..well done.
good thing i'll be visiting that place in a couple of months from now
wish me luck :)
There is no 'r' in hasta... ;0) Seriously, love your adventures!
Missed lots of bc hopefully see a return!
Not bad at all!
I just realized I was at Alberta around the same time as you!
Nice trip, I bet 5 mile road feels so short now.
all looks awesome, but why not save up a bit extra for a better kombi? im guessing that alone would have helped alot
So I'm a car person and by the looks at the end when he was under the bus either the transmission is done or the crank snapped cuz Volkswagen cranks aren't very strong
Don't want to hate, and I'm sure is part of the production (makes the video more interesting), but who in their right mind would take such a long journey with an old engine? I don't know... I think the long drives are tough enough to have to deal with engine issues on top of it.
horseshoe lake ayyyy ;)
Awesome video and channel! We are just now starting our own travel channel, so we will definitely be following along with yours!
So I know I'm late, but at one point, I noticed Saara had left. I didn't remember seeing it. When did it happen?
Wow I love your videos!!!
"we're insulating the the coil with a board strap" that's my bet for the cause of the fire. I'll donate a whopping 5 dollars if I'm right.
The van life was really popular i n the 70 two
amazing
I've just found this channel and i love it.When was this part filmed?
You said LAST kombi crew..... You better not be done after you reach Alaska!
volkwagen mini work still now? surprize !!! good job ~
Imagine how would it it be if you have not have so many issues with your vehicle, you guys have enjoyed your journey even with so many mechanical bugs,
Great finale, but I am really sad that you're journey is over soon.
I am100% sure it won't be ;)
@4:30 that was a fun cliff jump. Where were you?

How many times your car break down in these trips? Be honest ! Lol
Done with season 4 . 💕
Next season 5 💕
Highway 93 is great
I'm planning to do a backpacking trip like your where I buy a van. I'm just wondering where do you find backpackers to split the cost of gas? I tried finding it in different website
When I was younger I was on a trip to Alaska in a bus and it broke down with the border in sight I never made it to Alaska.
What will they do with Alaska the puppy will they keep her
what do u mean by next season ? u mean next year or what ??
Hi there. Just starting to watch your videos from the start and had to cringe when you said "Chilayen". My Mrs would be throwing things at you if she heard that. Luckily, you had help from your Chilean friend to buy your Kombi. And luckily you know how to pronounce Chilean now. If I was your friend, I would have told you to steer clear but it happens. I would travel in one as long as it didn't have the VW motor in it. Just my thoughts. Oh yeah, I see you had fun with the Chilean Govt departments. Even more fun when they close about 1pm Cheers.
