This is 100% a completely different trip than my previous trip to the Arctic that I took in 2022. This NEW series is a trip to new destinations that I took in February of 2023 - one year later. Just like any Netflix show, television show or Hollywood movie production, it takes time to produce. I am a one man show on this entire project. Unfortunately there is just zero way possible to take the trip, tackle the elements, shoot the story of the trip and edit it all together WHILE I’m ON the trip. So, I spent a month on the road in February of 2023 to film and complete this journey. Then I spent another 3 months hunkered down editing this 7 part series together. And now, over the next 7 weeks you get to enjoy the fruits of the hard work.
Peace out! Keep on Truckin’.
I've got 7 weeks to enjoy this Arctic trip. RIP replay button! You're the best Chad!
Would you ever consider a Patreon release of all 7 parts at once for those who want to binge and support you at the same time?
Next time you are doing this, take the Cassiar Highway instead of the Alaska Highway
Sir your adventures are amazing. I'm hardly waiting for new vlogs and adventures. P.S. Thank you for converting fahrenheit to celsius like miles to kilometres. Greetings from Croatia.
Pretty Amazing stuff from a fella in the Southern USA
Chad, your movie making skills are superior. One recommendation, when you're discussing locations, add maps so that the viewer understands your route and your location waypoints.
was thinking the same thing
I said that about a year ago but Chad might have been busy to see 😩
Agreed. For example; at 2:39 there should be a map displayed alongside the information presented.
I was also thinking the same thing.
For safety reasons he may not be posting maps. Chad is one of the huge RUclips content creators.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I have been so low last few months I just remembered this series maybe out... I'm ready to binge!!
The drone footage is always incredible. The fact that you take the extra time and effort to include it makes this that much more interesting. Instead of just “through the windshield” footage, we get to see the beautiful country you are travelling in. It makes a huge difference I think in the story you are telling.
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
This is epic. Been watching since your early days in the VW Vanagon. Thank you for all you do.
Every person that has a child needs to show them that life has adventures and wonders to not only explore but to learn ,that there is more to life than just a cell phone! Chad is a man’s man who has lots of knowledge about a different lifestyle and thankfully shares it with the world! I’m awe inspired by his stories!
Exactly what I’ve done tonight,laying in my tent with my sons watching this in amazement
That’s so awesome!
Thank you for the very kind words! Cheers!
10:03 mark: The Prince George ESSO fuel station: As a BC resident who watches far too many RUclips videos of VanLifers & RVers driving from lower-48 to Alaska, it is so darn refreshing to see you pull into a fuel station and you not be surprised and confused by fuel being sold in litres and in Canadian dollars. It sounds silly, but it is so good. As the various top-rated comments here suggest, yours is not a typical youtube channel. I am appreciating and enjoying this.
Shoooot. Have been coming to Canada most of my life. That’s all normal to me. :-) Cheers! Thanks for watching!
@@LivingTheVanLife Thanks for your movie-making excellence. And thanks for not making non-USA viewers feel like "Foreigners." (OK, I may have some baggage here, haha)
Cheers from Vancouver Island, probably experiencing the same weather as you are, today :)
Last years video to the Arctic ocean was a thriller and eye opening experience. This series just pushes the limits another level. Take care and stay safe. We will be following closely!
I hope you have a great and safe adventure.💙💙💙
Absolutely the BEST in content, heartfelt production and the best cinematic presentation of the landscape full stop. Do yourself a favour, don’t watch these on your iPad or ‘phone, you will miss the point and the detail. Do yourself another favour and grab a LTVL hoodie, got mine 18 months ago and have been living in it ❤
Here we go 😎 Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭❤️ 1:08
Thanks for watching!
At last! The day I ( most of us) have been waiting for almost the whole of 2023 since you made the announcement of your trip to Alaska has arrived.
Great video chad!
Mr, Chad. Your videos are a testament to your artistic creativity.
God bless you dear sir! Your vids are priceless! Thank you💪🤙
Much appreciated!
Every Christmas season here in PH. I always wait for these kind of videos in this channel ❤👌🏻
I am also brother ❤❤
@JR-gp2zk i dont like to visit cold places or go to snowy places. I just enjoy the scenery or the adventure he's doing as I myself goes on trips like this here.
Who needs the movies when we have ur channel. Superb work.
Thanks!
Honestly Chad, idk why your channel doesn’t already have over a million subscribers??! Great video man.
Working on it!
The Pan-American Highway is one of my dreams to drive. I hope to watch you conquer it! Awesome work glad to see you continue to do videos. Thanks for taking me along.
I find myself rewatching all of the Arctic videos (both journeys) almost daily. It’s inspiring me to set out on an adventure soon!
Canadian here. The ‘Mile 0’ you showed isn’t the actual one. It’s for show and tourism. The actual/original marker is more inconspicuous one about a km from the one you showed. But overall you do a fantastic job. I’m hooked.
F.I.R.E DAMN MAN!!! KEEP UP
Thanks for watching!
Grettings from Costa Rica. Ahora estoy en el Hospital con tratamiento de Quimioterapia, tu video me da siempre un respiro pues siempre quise hacer viajes como ese, tu me trasladaste amigo, tus videos son maravillosos. God Bless. Pura vida !!!
Stay Strong and kick Cancer's ass my friend.
Can’t wait to see more!!
These really are the best films on youtube. Consistent top notch content. The winter videos are the highlight of the year for me. Keep up the fantastic work!
Been so looking forward to this first episode 😊 thank you Chad.
Thanks for watching!
Good stuff, keep her lit from Ireland
Can't wait for episode #2. Don from northern California.
Looking forward to this series, Chad. Great start!
Fantastic video brother....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I drove drove from Fairbanks Alaska down the Alaskan hwy in January of 91. Did it in an 86 Thunderbird with 3 kids. I was being assigned to Ft. Stewart GA. Was one of the craziest road trips to date I have ever taken. Drove through blizzards you'd only see in suspense movies. If I had a van like you Chad man life would've been easier. God bless you brother I'm inspired, no kids on this trip!😂
Pure masterpiece! Awe-inspiring trek and cinematic works!
Straight 🔥🔥🔥 Bother 👊🏼😎🤙🏼, can’t wait for the next one Pimp
Thanks for watching!

Hello,
This is a great video. Thanks.
Greetings from Hungary.
Chad, your movie making skills are superior.😀
Moin aus Hamburg, Deutschland.
Ich schaue Deine Videos sehr gerne, Bro. Das entspannt mich sehr, besonders zu dieser Zeit.
Have a good one!
Greet ✌🏼
Mate, this is extremely extreme! Good luck 🍀
I’m very impressed 😌
Especially the parts of the video with the nature and landscape.
This highway and environment seems to be absolutely outstanding 😊
Thanks for this nice video 🙏
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Just keep at it! Would love to see your channel grow!
Sweet! Looking forward to the rest!
I love your cinematography!
A tip for driving in winterconditions is a pair of yellow lenz polaroid glasses normally used for fishing. Try a pair even on no sun days and you will find out why pretty fast:)
Great video, I did a long trip pulling a tear drop from the Panhandle of Florida to Deadhorse Alaska in 2019, but in September and we got a light dusting of snow. It was beautiful and an epic trip and one my wife of over 40-years and I think about constantly. While our seasons were different, watching this video brought back some really good memories. I remember the first Canadian Tire Store we went into. My wife said "nothing there for me, I'll sit in the jeep" but then at the last moment she said "well I'll just walk around inside". Holy darn, she filled a shopping cart with stuff. She was so excited about all the stuff available. Safe travels
Second to none on editing and making the adventure pop off the screen at us. I agree with a comment I saw about adding maps so we can see where you are exactly. Keep it coming please! Amazing.
I also watch Mav on RUclips I love that in the shot of the sticker bord when entering Alaska highway I could see his sticker from when he went at the begin of this year. 19:14
Rad Dude - Get it done my man !
AMAZING!! Love all of your videos, especially the winter ones!!
Great video's brother ❤❤❤
Omg omg omg! I’m so hyped!
My wife and I drove from So. California into Richmond Canada in 2005 - We miss traveling, as our careers prevent much of that - I'm just living vicariously through LVTL now Ha Ha! great videos man - peace
Chad, that is just superb! Thanks 🙏
EPIC!!!!!! As always
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Remember to think about the positivities :) you only have 1 life. GO!
Awesome start Chad! I brought a LTVL hoodie after your last artic trip, may need to add another to my collection! Ive said this a few times over the years, but as a Canadian, i appreciate the respect you show to Canada everytime you are here. From constantly showing the flag, or even giving Canadian Tire some love! Its small things, but they dont go unnoticed. So thanks brother, and keep on truckin!
That’s awesome. Canada is an awesome place. Thanks for watching!
I love this. My grandma was born in Juneau. I remember taking their RV to hope, prince george, prince rupert and taking the Alaska ferry to Juneau.
Fun fact Rambo: First Blood was filmed in Hope
You are amazing ,I have been watching your RUclips channel from the beginning.
And it made me think of my own life, so in august this year, my wife and I made our way
From Smithton Tasmania to Perth Western Australia.
We took the long way around, and we followed the cost road.
The trip took us to some amazing places we met some really great people on our way.
The jk Jeep Wrangler 3.6 was amazing, so the trip cost us $6500. Return, we camp in some amazing places and all this because of you and your show, so thank you very much for being the person you are.
Chad, you are enjoying life and living in the moment. Amazing video(s) as it feels that viewers are right along with you. Stay safe, looking forward to your journey, thanks for the ride along...Chip
Thanks for following along Chip!
production is on another level
Another masterpiece ♥️

Amazing Chad, been looking forward to this!

Awesome video everything you do is so perfect such a pleasure to watch. One nice thing of going solo you don’t have a significant other yelling every other mile to look out when the object is actually 2 miles ahead!
Hahaha. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers!
Awesome as usual 🥰

I don’t know why this is entertaining but it is. Good work.
