    I think this may be the most significant video you guys have ever put out. I mean let's be honest you take us to mind blowing places but this is literally once in a lifetime of once in a lifetimes. You two are delirious in the most exciting good way. To watch you guys act like a pair of kids the night before christmas is a fresh change to the channel.

    THE…BEST…VIDEO…ON…THE…ENTIRE…INTERNET!!!
    I mean, how could it be any better?! A true adventure, beautiful scenery, excellent funny engaging hosts/narrators, snow everywhere, driving through in machines equal to the task… and even a dog or two!!! It can’t get any better than this!!!
    This totally ROCKS!!!

    Definitely one of your best videos! As Kevin was doing shenanigans on the Arctic circle, I chuckled to myself wondering what the original owner would think of this. He just sat on it in his garage, meanwhile you guys are taking it out on these insane adventures. Maybe he made a few grand on it, but these adventures are priceless.

    I remember one night the northern lights were really active and there were colors other than green and it was so beautiful I started to get cold. After spending years working outside everyday saying you were getting cold is a way of saying you were way too distracted, dangerously distracted.. It was so beautiful and unusual to see colors other than green I will cherish the memory for the rest of my life.

    Fantastic trip , I can't wait to do this trip this summer . You had to deal with cold , in the summer it's insects , black flies , mosquitos , and the roads , if it rains a lot , well , they turn to a mud mucky mess , and with the trucks flying past , it's a whole other set of issues to contend with . Still can't wait 'cause like you said how many people do this and travel this remote . There is so much to explore in the north of Canada , and it's all pristine and absolutely beautiful .
    Last year I did the Trans Taiga trail in Northern Quebec , you wanna talk remote , when you hit the end of the Trans Taiga at Caniapiscau you are 750 km from the nearest town the furthest you can get from a town in North America on a track ,an absolutely beautiful feeling to be that remote , and a bucket list acomplishment for sure. Did it solo in my awesome built for overland travel Tank green 2 door JK , what a trip AWESOME!!
    Cheers Wild Bill , overlanding the North of Canada 👍 . Never stop exploring!!

    In January 1989 I drove from Texas up the Al Can to Anchorage in a 78 Chevy 2500 loaded down with 20 extra gallons of gas, 4 extra tires and a 4x4 quad in the back along with plenty of provisions and cold weather gear thinking I gonna have the time of my life, all was good tell a semi passed me in the middle of nowhere Yukon kicking up the snow dust and I caught the edge of the powder and ended up on my roof in the snow bank. I’m sure he didn’t see what happened, I couldn’t dig the quad out, thankfully the windows stayed in tack and I was prepared because it was 6 hours before another vehicle came along. I got a ride to Dry Creek, next day got a wrecker out and flipped it over, pulled plugs and it started up and continued on tell about 100 miles out of Anchorage when the rear left tire fell off because I didn’t realize the axle was bent from the roll over. What an adventure. That is truest beautiful and brutal country up there and I am a little jealous of your adventures right now.

    so i take scout troop kids camping up to -30, mainly cause any colder than that and we waste too much gas letting trucks idle randomly. at least in CO and you previously knew, most anti-freeze is only good to around -35 ish. but back to my point, if you can tolerate 0, you can tolerate -30 cause (again here in CO) there's very little moisture in the air at those temps. the snow is squeaky and powder dry. some of the most miserable camping i've done though was in November, at +25 overnight. But it was 45 during the day and lightly rained for about 2 hours. 95% humidity and 25 degrees was brutal. Couldn't get warm in sleeping bags due to everything being saturated.

      @J.Young808 Год назад +1

      Yes I agree about the wet cold vs dry cold. I went to Oregon State and one winter I visited my cousin in Boulder and it was 5°F for a week. I covered everything up and was able to get warm. Went back to Corvallis and it was 45°F and I was colder than when I was in Boulder.

    Ford Bronco Raptor team should be proud. You all are awesome for the way you ran the Raptor across the frozen Arctic Ocean. Amazing!!
    Hopefully Ford will contact you guys to use some footage of actual customers using the Bronco Raptor in true Raptor conditions, and it’s showing itself to be the appropriate tool to use.
    Also I hope Corporate Ford Engineers reach out to you so they can get a rare opportunity to view how the systems and components held up in such challenging conditions.
    Partnerships to be had all around.
    That’s for taking me on a wonderful digital adventure. I loved it 😊!

    I was stationed 4 yrs in North Pole Alaska ( Airforce), been on 60 below for weeks, and snow over 4 feet in my yard. But a dry cold is a lot different from the lower 48 cold. But the Chances of frost bites goes up. Northern lights are amazing to see in person. I'm glad to see they enjoyed frozen snow and ice roads. If anyone gets the chance to visit, try the bald eagle run in Haines Alaska. There's nothing like seeing an eagle catch a salmon or fly upside down holding one.

    I live in eastern Montana and -14 is actually pretty normal and at least once a yr our cold weather beats Alaska's cold weather. -54 was what we got this last winter we are coming out of. You guys said it didn't really feel that cold due to being there for a few days. After our week long -'s 0 degrees feels like t-shirt weather. Its amazing our bodies can acclimate to such extreme temps so quickly.

  • @richardogden4800

    As humidity goes up you’ll feel colder at the same air temperature. The moisture reduces the efficiency of your thermal barrier (coat insulation, long underwear, etc).

    Incredible series, take it all in. You are right not many travel our north and many never get the opportunity to see how beautiful our country is. I spent about 12 years servicing and installing grocery stores all across the Canadian Arctic, most of which you can't drive to. Although I don't fly anymore I still travel to northern communities if I can drive. I remember I was doing work in Pond Inlet Nunuvut while my wife was in Cabo Mexico. We couldn't of been further from eachother on the continent lol. Stay warm and keep them vids coming!

Wool cap light gloves and heavy mittens on a string finished out our clothes. Two inches of clothes, a bad case of shrinkage and you have to go really bad, you really have to push really hard or you could dribble on stuff you really need to keep dry. Ahhh, the good old day.
