Timmy... you are a man after my own heart. I love the wilderness. watching you play the mandolin reminded me of my friends in Yosemite. we often had music night at my friends cabin. I played a djembe. I lived and worked 25 years in Yosemite. My health is gone and I live in Arizona now. I miss those days in Yosemite. Thanks for taking us along.
Timmy, you are not like that kid. You know the risks, you take plenty of precautions, have plan B, C, etc. This boy was an idealist-possibly someone
with mental illness-we will never know. But, burning money you may need for food and supplies, not becoming more familiar with the area and conditions-that’s not you at all. That is almost a suicide mission. Those who have died trying to get to the bus had romanticized the ‘adventure’ and were so determined to get to the bus they drowned in the river. Many others have had to be rescued costing thousands. That boy was no one to idolize. He was just someone too young to realize he did not have the skills or experience to back up his wilderness dream-until it was too late.
"There's a lot more to life than being rational." Spoken like someone who truly understands how to live well.
❤ Soothing and relaxing to watch after a difficult work shift here. Thanks Timmy🙏🏻 I liked the quiet ride along in the truck too listening to snippets of the podcast with you. It's all the little things that add up to a great video, having a meal, lighting the truck fire, making a coffee. Lots of different bits going on. Well, I know you're back home, ..stay cosy ☕ 🛻
Timmy I am watching your RUclips video into the wild I think that you're probably one of the closest replica of Chris that I would ever be able to see I could imagine you being that young man that lost his life, you are by far more cautious and careful in your adventure and travels as Chris ever was thank you for that I'm 73 years old I live in Wisconsin but I enjoy every one of your videos God bless you and stay safe. 💕🤘
Godbless you
As always, your videos are super entertaining and full of beautiful scenery. It makes my day to see all that snowy expanse and I love that you never take it for granted. Be safe, Timmy! Can’t wait to see what happened in the Arctic Circle drive! Whether you made it or not, it’s the journey that satisfies the soul ❤
Looks like a GREAT time is being had by all!! So glad you all are following the rule for the most part that there is safety in numbers! Glad you got your sled fixed and got to have a blast!!
Timmy, I'm in my mid 50's & because of medical issues I likely will not get to experience Alaska for myself. I'm so thankful that you share your journey through life which allows me in a way to experience the beauty & wonderment of Alaska too. Thank you for all of it! 💜🙂
Hope your health improves. Take care
@str8cash113 thank you. I know there's always someone with harder challenges so I'm thankful. Take care friend. 💜
Me also.
Me too!😊
Same here but in my 40s and won't ever get to Alaska
This was one of your best. Because you enable close caption, I was able to follow very well with the special audio you played.
I realized today what makes your videos so very special, it comes from the heart. The other special quality you make someone watching feel as thought they are right with you. Epically looking at this on a big screen. I felt as if I were riding in the cab of the truck next to you and we were having a conversation. You are the tour guide and I am the tourist.
I was dying to see the small bike work and you may have that on another video. I would almost kill to be along on some of these trips. I’m an excellent cook, as I have cooked all my life.
Tim thank you for making all this possible for thousands of people and many like me who are older and live alone. I have thought of having an RV just to travel around in at my pleasure and make it my home. There isn’t a place in the US that I wouldn’t have medical attention as I am a Vet. I have to set up a pay-pal account and I should have that complete by Monday or before.
One last thought, I was stationed at Minot, ND 50 miles from the Cadian border for close to 2 years, way back when. Minot was a SAC base and I fell in love with the winter there. Snowmobiling was awesome, I now live in VA at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you know of the TV program The Walton’s, I live 30 minutes from that mountain. It was here that I learned to snowboard and did try skis but skis where not for me. At almost 75 I continue to live a full life. I haven’t tried snowboarding in a long time.
Again, thank you for being so kind and loving.
Thanks kid. You’re hard core. Respect
Thanks so much, Timmy, for taking us along with you on this amazing adventure. I saw the movie but everything seemed so much more real traveling with you to that spot. I’m sure it was something of a spiritual experience for you. Wow! Love your channel; be safe and keep up the amazing content! What awesome gifts left for you, too! Those were awesome!
Thank you for all your videos Timmy! They've gotten me through tough times, mourning a family member and through health issues!
I never ever saw it be as cold as you have shown us. The water straight to snow from a pot was amazing! Thank you.😊
So cool to finally see the place where Chris spent so many months, and in winter, more or less the way it was when he got there, although it was spring as I recall. Read the book, watched the movie, tried to imagine the whole thing. And I don't think he was crazy, just a beautiful dreamer who was more courageous than most of us, he lived the dream. Yes, he lost his life, but he gained so much more in experiencing the wild, something city dwellers just don't understand. Current society is so wrapped up in safety that a lot are dead inside. Remember, rather die on your own 2 feet than live on your knees.
The camper got up to 94 degrees. Speaks to how well Mr. Timmy insulated that place. Safe travels as always Sir
Timmy, never a boring video. Thanks for taking us with you on an amazing adventure! That was gorgeous but my heart sank when you broke through the ice. Glad you didn’t stay out longer and the sled teams were an added bonus.
Cheers from Toronto Ontario Canada! Hope you're having a good day eh?! Always great to see you Timmy!
I could have sworn they airlifted that out 3 years ago ( They did, and the bus is being restored/ preserved in fairbanks at the museum of north alaska)
I thought so too.
It’s supposed to be at a museum. Heard government airlifted out the rotting thing out due to the deaths of other unprepared, idealistic people doing a kind of pilgrimage.
I coulve sworn i saw a video of the airlift. Maybe it was the movie prop they moved... hmmm
Bus was in fact air lifted out, it’s nearby museum in the woods
And there is a replica for people to see, probably why people get confused
Dude, big puppy, at least you’re not alone. 😂 There is something special about being in nature with no one around, hard to put into words. Good for the soul.
Fantastic video as usual!....i just recently came across your channel about 2 months ago and became instantly hooked...I even got my wife loving your channel as well. Thank you for all you do to create some awesome content for all us viewers!! can't wait to see your next adventure! stay safe brother!
You are one of the most resilient people, impressive. Nothing seems to be a problem, just another challenge. It's like tne answers just come to you.
Man that was an awesome video. So inspiring to see you get out for a rad adventure like that despite the brutal cold. My wife and I really look forward to your videos, keep up the awesome work!
❤ my childhood home… I miss it so very much and your videos make me smile. The Late 60’s through the late 90’s was a great time to experience Alaska from a kids/young adult perspective. Seeing the solitude and great expanse of what you film restores so many emotions of my own adventures. You know how lucky you are being there, but thank you for sharing. The East coast is ok but not the same as “home”. Can’t wait for more of your videos.
New York City!?
Hi Tim. Looking forward to watching you do the interior of your house.
Hi Timmy, Thank you for that awesome adventure with all of us. Because of this video adventure, I'm stopping by a book store tomorrow to buy a copy of "Into the Wild".
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for showing me how beautiful Alaska is.
Another great vid brother 💯 thanks for taking us along 👍
I'm smitten, I'm bitten, I'm stuck like glue.... and absolutely love your videos too! Thank you, AGAIN!!
Howdy Partner ! So glad that you enjoy and take so much pride in your homeland of Alaska! Saddle up and plow on! 🤠🇺🇸🇨🇱🥃
Thanks for taking us out there Timmy. Made me emotional. Read the book and seen the movie so many times.
What a beautiful gift and the fact that it was made by hand makes it even more special. How rewarding!
I just love your videos. You make me feel like I am right there on the adventures with you. I am 70 and will most likely never get to see Alaska, so thanks for taking me along through your videos! 😊
Because of this episode i only learned of Chris and immediately went to prime and rented it. I was glued to the screen. His passion and drive is so inspiring. He was a magical being with beautiful energy and people gravitated towards him and i completely understand that because i have very similar experiences. But an amazing show and poor guy. To go out that way. Made me cry when Mr. Franz wanted to adopt him.. ❤
Very cool Timmy. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. Keep the videos coming. Safe travels.
Timmy you make me so nervous doing these things alone! Glad you made it and are safe!!
Awesome video as always Timmy. You always show the most incredible and inspiring places in Alaska. Thanks for letting us ride along with you on your adventures.
I’ve been following the restoration of the bus for a while now. I follow his sister and its a very neat experience
Thx for all your amazing & beautiful videos Timmy! Stunning!!!
Hey Timmy, thanks for all your videos! Even though I’ve never been to Alaska I still love the Alaskan wilderness you show us in your videos. Good job editing them all. Gotta take several hours per video to get them as good as you do. Keep up the good the good work!!
-60 crazy. It got to -25 in Colorado, no wind chill. That year I think, if I remember, it was colder in 2 places in CO, than any other places on earth or it was even, for that day.
Hard to remember and I LOVED IT! Blizzard, 2 ft snow, base of rockies, LOVED IT! My multiple silverados plowed through but -60? Co has the same kind of people or did when I left. Keep truckin bro!
This is the video I would show my family and friends. #1. I love your show.
Hi Timmy, I've been following your adventures for a while for here in sunny Western Australia. I'm originally from Scotland so I enjoy watching your snowy adventures from a very hot Perth. Keep on trucking brother.
Thank you for taking us along. I watched the movie a number of years ago so it was very interesting to see the area that Chris lived in. Looking forward to your next adventure. Stay safe.
I bet Chris would not be excited about being such a icon today… it was obvious that he was not out for the attention that he gets today…. I believe that had he survived that at some point he would have reentered society a better,man from his experiences and went on to live a extraordinary life ✝️
After watching the Outdoor Boys, I noticed he keeps hand warmers in his cold weather gear. I have seen him use them on the batteries of his camera when it was -60 when he camped out. Have fun, your channel is entertainment and education.
Glad your back, your content style is really fun to watch - Dave
Love the wilderness. Wish I was young again to try it myself. Since I'm not, I enjoy it through your videos. Be safe and keep enjoying life.
Thanks Tim! Interesting history about the 🚌 . Looking forward for your next video.
That's crazy seeing you throw a cup of water in the air and it turns to powder instantly. That is extreme and hard to comprehend for the likes of me from New Zealand 😮
That's the coolest truck camper/trailer combo I've seen.
What a wonderful video in gorgeous country. So happy to see a video where the sun is shining. 😊
Thanks Timmy for that adventure! I never heard the story and I appreciate that you've brought it to my attention. I likely will never make it to Alaska as I'm in my late 60''s now. But I've always had an adventurous heart chained by responsibilities. So thanks so much for showing me what is out there and how beautiful it is. It's great to sit here in my cozy space and watch! You're such a cool dude :D
Okay I don't often laugh out loud watching a great video like this. But that frozen pizza you forgot about in the wood box had me on the floor. Anyway always enjoy what you are doing Tim. Be safe..
Hi Timmy, Love this video, these are the videos I love to watch. I have lived in Alaska 76 years and I can tell you, I understood Chris and have no ill will towards him. Those who ostracized him don't understand the freedom to pick and chose how you live no matter the outcome. They are so secure in their modern day living. Many of the gold miners who traveled to Alaska back in the day didn't know what they were in for and were ill prepared. Thanks for your support of Chris and your understanding of what he did and why.
Thanks for taking us along on another awesome adventure, love your stories.
You could maybe relocate your stairs for the cabin. Where they are, if you slip or fall, your headed into sharp corners of that diamond truck box. Stay safe!
Great video Tim and thanks for the adventure. Always look forward to seeing a new video from you. Stay safe and warm. Love from Ohio
Mar 30, 12 C outside, in my little computer room in my house in Dudley, Midlands UK. And Tim finishes with "Be Chill" in -40 C. Nutter (and I love it) lol!
Ahh. Been looking forward to this for the last 13hrs of my day ! Well earned and time to tuck in, get stuck in. Favorite time of the week !
Weather is everything no matter where you are.
Another Brilliant Video Mate, really enjoyed it!
That's pretty cool that you got out there where Chris was and where he passed on and was able to have a meal. Hell you probably made a fire where he has before and was able to share the space!
Excellent video. I would have never seen the site otherwise. Thank you!
I find just looking at the beautiful scenery & listening to the music so relaxing, thank you. 😍🎵🏔️
Love the Channel Timmy, glad I came across this. 💯
One of my favorite movies Into The Wild
I have a great respect for your courage. You are fearless. I wish I could be like you without fear🙏Keep making videos I love watching.
Thanks! As mentioned this is for you. I can't thank you enough for what you do to show us that can't do. Living thru sorta thing. Sorry it's not much but I can promise you that I will be steady. Maybe not on every video. I was going to say I will on the good ones. WTF they are all good. Hopefully it's enough for a coffee and get the fuel neck wet and don't expect to have any change left. For all I know you may have to kick in some of your money if you want a large coffee 😂👍👍👍
Great video. I agree with you about Chris. He was just a young man seeking an amazing adventure. He was young and naive to Alaska as most young people are. I think he was great and it sucks that he died.
Always good to ponder the Chris McCandless story. Sad that he had such a slow, painful death. No one deserves that, even if they are kind of reckless. Glad you are always well prepared for adventures, Timmy. Wolf faking injury story was good, too.
Great video as always, Timmy. Thank you for giving us this view of your world up there.
Crazy to think that that was actually THE spot even if the bus isn't there anymore. Eerie.
Hi Timmy I enjoy your channel! Just an observation try putting your fan on the floor blowing the cold floor air into the warm upper air. That will draw the warm air down to your feet. happy trucking. A trick I learned heating my house with a wood stove. I used to blow the warm air to the cold part of the house. I found when I blew the cold air to the stove my house was much warmer. give her a try and see your results.
That small of a space, you probably wouldn't notice either way.
I will definitely come back to watch this adventure be safe.
My back hurts after watching this episode. Did you feel it too?
Good video Timmy. It is so good to see that there are some genuinely nice people. I work for a company that has locations in AK and only wish I could leave Southern CA. Keep sharing thank you.
That was excellent Timmy. Last summer on vacation to ur beautiful state we drove right past Stampede Rd on way to Fairbanks. 🤙🏼
Timmy I just love your channel keep up the great journey that you are on !!
Great video Timmy! Beautiful scenery and I loved the story. Thanks Timmy. You're awesome
A lot of people speculate why Chris took off...into the wild. He simply had an adventurous soul. One that couldnt be contained. He had the courage to do what a lot of people won't. Rest in peace Alexander Supertramp.
Gonna rise upppp burning black holes in dark memories ❤
Gonna rise up turnin' mistakes into golddddd ❤
I liked the simple short comment you made about Chris. I think that he was indeed seeking a totally organic, unique experience and he succeeded.
Amazing episode. I watched the movie several years ago and have kind of forgotten about it. But what a great and sad story
Timmy, you and that Lonewolf have a lot in common. I imagine if you crossed his path, he would respect you and keep moving.
Thank you for the great adventure and this phenomenal video!
43:00 Out there in the middle of nowhere and you come across a wolf's paw that's bigger than your hand--I don't think I'm built for that kind of thing, Timmy.
Which is why I watch you lol
I remember reading that book years ago when it first came out. Still remember parts of it. Love your adventures. So glad you're doing it and not me. Loved my week in Alaska in SEPTEMBER. Spent many winters in Michigan and that was about the limit for cold. Thank you for sharing with us here in Southern CA where the traffic is sometimes unbearable.
Timmy love watching your adventures - thank you. I am not totally getting the reverence of folks for the bus though - the book and movie was very good, but now even a “replica bus”, interesting…
I read the story on Google and am better prepared to get into Timmy's vid.
Good vid Timmy. Incredible views. That wet shoe and foot, wow! Need to be prepared for that next time. Good music from Matt and Forest. Next time.
Thank you Timmy for sharing this beautiful video and history of the bus.
I really enjoyed the adventure and just moved in Fairbanks in Aug 2023 and want to start doing a little adventuring myself. I’ve been looking at maps and learning the area before, but will be going out this spring.
Great video... I absolutely love Alaska. The only bad thing about going up there is having to
leave and go back home.
Tim another great video double thumbs buddy
What a great adventure. I’ve been to Healy, stayed and made several trips up Denali. It’s great to see the area with snow and cold temps. I was there in mid-May. I love to see you using your adventure, mechanical and survival skills.
Love watching your travels! Been to Alaska once and want to go back so bad! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Thanks for taking us along what a place
I'm delighted that I had the opportunity to hike the stampede (parts of it anway) and see the bus in Fairbanks while I was traveling through AK. I'm glad the university isn't just letting it rot.
It takes a Special person to want to live in that bitter cold...God bless and Stay warm!!
Timmy keep on trucking! Brave to be doing it solo. That would have ruined my whole day stepping into that freezing water.
The peace of a wild place, thank you Timmy!
I love this truly, some of the best content on yt
That was awesome to see the the dog sleds, do the mushers put insulated booties on the dogs feet when it is that cold? The vastness and inhospitable landscapes of Alaska is something truly special to admire and respect.
The Lynx looks like a Skidoo because it is made by Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) the same company that builds Skidoo sleds
