    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’.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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!

    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.
