    Another good one. Yes, the GoPro just doesn't do it justice. It's so big. I travel up as often as I can. Stay in Fairbanks in a rental dry cabin and run around during the long days of 20 plus hours. A lot to see in every direction. At 67, if a big if, I had been there early on I would have never came back home. Long winters, but the BS of the lower 48 isn't there. It's more getting ready for winter and enjoying the summer. Only two seasons. Great motorcycling. Take care.

    • @daveinwla6360

      FAIRBANKS!! Yes, (2) seasons - COLD, and MOSQUITOS. "Cold" means -30°F (-34°C) at 3:00 pm, and icy roads.
      In summer, I'm surprised that your windscreen has stayed so clear!

    Hey Andy! What a great tour in the making and a fabulous way to do it. I love the flexibility on offer. The only thing that seems fixed are the waypoints. Nice. Did you see the way Mrs Flyer dived onto that bed! And what did you do? Find the 'restroom' and moan about the switch. Lol. BTW, take a look in your fuse box when you get home and check to see which way the switches go for 'on'.
    Take care. I'm just getting into Episode 3.

    When hiking in northern Sweden it was often pretty hard to get a tent peg in, this when it was 20c. Getting the tent peg out it became obvious why - it was freezing cold only a few inches below the ground. Nothing grows more than a few feet high.

    Just watching Itchy Boots in Canada flying her drone so a little surprised as a holder of a PPL you didn't get permission. Great videos on this trip but any drone footage always enhances the sense of space to the landscapes. Safe travelling both.

    • @TheMissendenFlyer
      @TheMissendenFlyer  2 года назад +1

      Yes I agree that drone footage is good - I can't speak for what Noraly does of course but my research indicated flying my > 250g Mavic Air was too hard in Canada (permission required for each flight seperately with detials of flight times and locations - not practical for this sort of trip)....

    Those "skinny pine trees." You pointed out looked like Black Spruce trees. Which typically grow over areas of permanent frost..in the native language they call those areas 'Taiga' which means 'Little sticks'. You are correct about the permafrost stunting their growth. Black Spruce is very resinous and burns quite easily so forest fires can spread rapidly in those patches. Safe travels! CHEERS!

    Just love that scenery... WOW 😎
    Now, regarding the American light switches...
    My understanding (I'm an Electrical Engineer!!), is that UP for ON is regarding safety!!
    Think about it - If(?) you FALL against 'any' switch, then you are most likely to turn it OFF (Knock it DOWN).
    This may seem a pain for lights, but think about all the machinery with switches!!
    In conclusion, this may be the ONLY thing the Americans have got right. However, it definatly does NOT make up for the fact that they STILL use Imperial units 😱

    We may be one of the last generations that saw glaciers; they are declining fast. I’ve seen many in the Alps and in Norway.
    You saw a few more I think.
    Indeed, reminds me a lot about Norway.
    Why don’t you use an external battery like I do. You can record for about 12 or more hours on one load; depending on the capacity of the battery. Battery is in my top pocket of the jacket and a cable from there to the camera.
    Nice drone footage.
