As Winter Pushes us South | Highway of Ice | Destination Adventure

I built this rig to be able to handle a large variety of climates, but this is still the testing phase, and unfortunately it is not passing all the tests. Winter seemed to come out of nowhere this year, and it came with fury. Nights were starting to get below freezing, but waking up not only sub zero temperatures and snow, was an unexpected surprise. I am certainly not complaining, because these are all necessary tests for the rig, and I am actually quite happy to identify issues through temperatures and conditions that are still manageable. I thought that the rig would be able to go quite cold with an almost stock heating system, but unfortunately that does not seem to be the case. By the end of the first night, I woke up to a nice and toasty rig, but frozen pipes, which is a greater issue than a chilly living quarters. Frozen pipes quickly turn into busted pipes, and having just redone all of the plumbing, that is not an avenue I want to revisit this early in the new rig. Lucky for me nothing broke, and I have some awesome ideas on how to overcome these issues.
Outside of freezing pipes, the rig has done incredibly well, and most of the other concerns are basically just learning curves. The rig is 12,000 lbs, and with DRW that equates to some great traction. Add to that the 4 wheel drive and snowflake rated tires, she's ready to tackle any climb, but stopping is the number one concern. Cold temperatures, weight and good tires will get you surprisingly good traction, but once that traction breaks it is a different game entirely, and that is the game I am trying to learn.
This truck has drum brakes on the back and discs on the front, which is actually a very good combination, but that strong braking power up front can be a difficult balance while learning the capabilities and limitations to the setup. I am fortunate to be traveling some very remote locations, so I can really play with different speeds, turns and stops, without having to worry about traffic or any other human presence. As for the overall performance, I am very happy with the truck, and I don't think much needs to be changed. If I plan to do a specific northern winter trip, I will pick up a nice set of studded tires, but other than that I think it is just time behind the wheel to get a strong understanding of the performance in these challenging conditions.
Now, I think it is important to say, this is not an announcement of a winter break, this is just the close of the summer travel season. Winer is a period of time that I still have to find some consistent solutions for within the channel, but going into this one I think I have some really neat ideas that will bring a big variety of very exciting content. I don't want to say too much more, but I do want to say thank you! Thank you for enjoying the summer season, and thank you for enjoying the first season with the new rig. This was a lot of risk for me, and a big challenge, but I could not have possibly planned a better season. The channel growth was amazing, the stories were exciting and beautiful, and the rig held up to a far greater test than I had anticipated subjecting it to.
I am so excited about the future, and I am so happy to have you all along in the passenger seat.

I'll try and make this concise, here goes: The bison hang out along the road there because when they repopulated the area that is where they unloaded them from the transport trucks. So, to them, that is home base. The verges along the Alcan are kept groomed and wide so you can see animals that maybe approaching the road in time to slow down. The caribou are after the salt used on the roadway in winter, normally you'd not see them in summer at all. Back in the day both the road and the vehicles on it didn't have the engineering, range, etc that we do today. All those abandoned resorts, fuel stops, cafes had their day but most all traffic can drive faster, further now. Fun fact, caribou when they are wild, reindeer when they are a managed herd. Thanks for putting up with my Ted Talk.

[@barbweimar8278]

Great to hear this info, Thanks!!

[@donalddday7741]

they like the minerals from off the road dont have to dig in the hard ground maybe, dont know if they salt the roads way out away from towns but here in the states they now salt in almost every state even California cause people just dont slow down for bad weather

[@carlosgaspar8447]

i think they new dustin was coming and wanted to be on camera.

[@thegzak]

I learned more from a single comment than I have anywhere else in a long time. Awesome!

[@cynditermath9118]

Thank you so much for this very concise and comprehensive input on the area.

[@briancarpenter1255]

I just get excited when I see a new post. Such epic scenery. Even though we are not there Dustin makes us see things as if we were there. Great job and happy travels Dustin.

[@adambloemendal3482]

Every Saturday morning I start my day off the same way: wake up, eat breakfast with my daughter, turn on a cartoon for her and put on Destination Adventure for myself. Selfishly, I want every episode to be an hour long because your videography skills are second to none. Thanks for another great summer season. Looking forward to the winter edition... possibly a trip to Oregon?? It's a great state to explore!

[@briannave7326]

I’ve lived in Oregon on the Rogue River, lots of things to see.

[@rhondaburke5700]

More of Oregon would be sweet. Maybe a few stops in Washington State on the way.

[@twooldcampersandadog8169]

My wife and I cannot express the joy you bring us as a fellow traveler! Thanks a million!🎉

[@davidmills1639]

Ditto!

[@lostmoose9994]

About the abandonned hotels and resorts along the Alcan: They were all up and running until the early 90ies. Then, flights became cheaper as gas for driving cars up and down the Alcan. Another issue was the expensive fuel for their power supply by big generators, as most of those resorts are offgrid. I remember in the 80ies, they ran big Diesels 24/7

[@darlenemurphy4968]

Thank you for another season with great adventures that were full of beautiful scenery and destinations. ❤

[@jaydub1380]

Wow, the scenery is just breathtaking!!! Thank you so much for taking us along with you. Safe travels my man

[@saddlelac]

On the farm not that many years ago, we had been using for many years a D9 cat possibly the last working cat from the Alaska highway build. It was a monster. Cables not hydraulic, difficult to find strong cables for it. There was a old timer worked for Cat in Calgary that was helpful with repairs. He had worked on the same type of cat when young. We bought it for $5000 at an auction in 1980. It was big and heavy enough to have difficulty finding a rig that could move it.

[@DragonflyenAmber]

Enjoy your downtime, we all look forward to what you bring us next season! Thank you for making Saturday morning full of beautiful sights and adventures. 💜

[@Jasontodd74]

❤Thanks for another great video Dustin. I’m not a cold weather person but you would have to be crazy not to appreciate that beautiful country and all the amazing wildlife. Than you for bringing that to us that will probably never get a chance to visit. Can’t wait for the next adventures!!!!!

[@henrikchristensen7118]

Thanks for a beautiful season, this channel is just SO nice, when my level of ptsd hits ‘ridiculous’, these uploads just brings me to my level ‘almost normal’… So very much appreciated… Fix the ride - we’ll be right here waiting for the next upload.

[@GarageGunsmith]

Hey I'm okay with the end of your summer season. It was absolutely amazing. 10/10 yt channel content, 11/10 video quality, 13/10 personality.

[@TWROC96]

Thank you Dustin for showing us some amazing places and sharing some wonderful stories from the locals of these places you visited. That ol' Dodge did you right this season and she deserves some love and attention. Enjoy your family time.

[@davebrown403]

I was a bit sad when I heard the MoHo was gonna be parked this season, but the adventures you took us on this year were top notch. (No surprise there…) I can’t wait to see where we are headed next. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s an incredible recipe for success. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents.

[@cloudgate9281]

YT was made for you, dude. You bring nothing but goodness, beauty and adventure on a cinematic scale. Lookin forward to the coming season!

[@SuperUncleRyan]

Get yourself a couple easily inflatable beach balls to throw in your boat before you put the cover on. It will prevent the cover from sagging a collecting water and other stuff. A couple large beach balls weigh nothing and stow away very easy.

[@Destination_Adventure]

This is a beautiful idea, thank you.

[@stephenclark6027]

Thank you for sharing these amazing adventures with us, I look forward to seeing your next video when you get back on the road. Keep up the great work, I can’t thank you enough for showing us places we would likely never get to see. Dustin you are a great explorer !!!

[@timothydevine7064]

Slicker than moose guts on a glass door knob.

[@Tuulessaistuja]

Thank You for taking us all those awesome places this past summer, wouldn't ever seen any of them without You. And thank You for all the hard work doing so, hope Ur winter plans go well and we get to see more cool videos..😊..

[@SunRainbow-t4o]

You inspired me to fix my truck I like how you fixed your truck ..that was old and it works .I had a 2008 Ford Explorer sitting for 2 years it only needed a new tiers .a battery .and a wheel bearing .the rest works so I fixed it .if you can fix yours I can fix mine now it works . We’ll I got the deelership to fix mine but you showed me old trucks can work again .just fix m.thanks for the idea !❤

[@andreamorrison6719]

Fabulous to see Bison, loved the hot springs! Wow, slippery road, skateboarding without a board ☺ Caribou! So majestic , what a treat ! Epic scenery, epic soundtrack, sublime post, thankyou so much Dustin. 👏👏👏👊

[@rickn1526]

Awesome Dustin. So looking forward to your further adventures. Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Texas.

[@canadmos]

Thanks for the video! Been watching for a few years now and always look forward to them popping up. Have you considered making a trek out to the east? I'm sure there'd be some interesting spots to visit in remote Quebec, Newfoundland and the like. Obviously getting there would be a journey in of itself hah. Hello from Ontario.

[@johnmccormick175]

Awesome series of videos Dustin..once i start watching one of your videos i am captivated. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next adventures.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Liard hot springs was the site of the worst black bear attack. 3 people died and a 4th was injured. It happened at the upper pool (now closed). If not for an American that had a gun, authorities believe the attack would've continued. There was nothing wrong with the bear. Good video Dustin.

[@coxyofnewp]

Great first season with the new camper and know it's just going to get better and better..(if that's possible ?) Really look forward to all you travels!! Wishing you all the best and can't wait for the winter travels..

[@nicoleturgeon-courchesne2212]

Loving the adventure with you Dustin. I wait until late evening to just relax and take in the ride. The scenery is breathtaking to say the least. Looking forward to tagging alongs in the new expeditions so in the mean time, I'll get to do a bit of catch up :) Stay safe!

[@jimmcdees1341]

Bro, I gotta say I love waking up Saturday morning and watching your adventures it's rather wholesome on my days off relaxing seeing all the beautiful places I would love to see! Keep keeping on man! Much love from Wisconsin USA

[@SaugotChowdhury]

Always a pleasure to watch Canadian wilderness through destination adventure' eyes

[@CanadianSledDog]

Is it weird that I wanna go drive truck on that ice?? Probably. We really need to pay our truckers better (and train them better) like enough that they remember to put their chains on in the chain up spots when the road is solid ice 😅

[@blacksheepexpedition6347]

Thanks for sharing your adventures this year. Looking forward to the next adventure…

[@NEVSCOVERYCHANNELL2]

Hi Dustin,I've been a subscriber to your channel now for a while,just want to say thank you for all of your amazing videos,you have worked so hard to bring your videos to the world, know that every one of them is loved, your Aussie bra nev👍👍

[@Independent.Living]

I would love to say well done watch every video this year you are the best thank you so much ❤ love to learn from you Freinds at Williams lake bc

[@katherinespong]

Coffee and Destination Adventure, the perfect start to a weekend! I do not have enough words to express the sheer beauty of the North, yet somehow you bring it to life superbly and yet succinctly. The bison, what kind eyes they have. I just wanted to reach out and pat one, but all I found was my wolf dog. Thanks, Dustin. I hope you get some rest over the winter. See you in the next one.

[@AlexTodd-60s]

Hello Katherine

[@eaglefan1124]

It wondeful to think a part of the world you have never given thought to could be so beautiful.

[@edward4277]

Another great year and thanks for taken us alongside Destination Adventure.

[@juliamcinnes737]

Another great season, thanks Dustin, love from Ontario.

[@sbrownello]

Wow! I worked in FSJ in the oilfield for 7 years and been up in the Ft. Laird area Just amazing ground and skies. I mean, winters are gnarly, but I definitely have a learning and living experience. Also, being from Williams Lake helped me to adapt. Wild bison and horse are everywhere up there. Great video, Dustin. Bringing me more memories on a Saturday morning 🌄 ☕️ Thank you for your good work.

[@Mark-si7tf]

Beautiful country, it was a great season, I really enjoyed it. thanks so much.

[@Timlackey-b9r]

[@williamwilliam728]

This channel is one of, if not the most professional adventure channels. Your dedication to research and awesome videography make for a wonderful and enlightening view each week. I look forward to my next Canadian adventure while sitting in the Philippines. Thank you, Dustin.

[@ivanolsen8596]

Yes William, Canada is somewhat different to here in the Philippines! I agree wholeheartedly with your comments and am like a cat on a hot tin roof waiting for Dustins 2024 season to begin.

[@deanbessom3513]

I wake up Saturday morning come out watch your videos take me to a place I'll probably never go so beautiful and Majestic thank you be safe have a great time

WOW, the beauty truly touched my soul in every respect, Dustin. Thank you for bringing us along on your spectacular adventures. Be safe, blessings

[@jwfinley7808]

Not everybody just young people. Kids!

[@HoneyandMe]

I've only driven the Alcan twice. The first time back in '86 in the late spring, and then last December. Normally we take the Cassiar going both north and south, but last year we decided to head south on the Alcan. My husband was ahead in our 1-ton Dodge and I was following in my Matrix. It was dark by then and I came around a corner, so had slowed down, when a moose stepped out on to the road. I went to slow down further and just kept on going! Right into the ditch! Thankfully I went in slowly, but I was stuck. My dog didn't even wake up when we hit the ditch! lol! Thankfully, hubs noticed and stopped! But we were a long way from Fort Nelson and had to leave the car there. Truckers are great on the northern roads and always stop to make sure you are ok, which several did. Long story short, a tow truck rescued my car the next morning and brought it to Fort Nelson. $2000 tow bill! Thank goodness for BCAA! Looking forward to what's next!! Take care, Dustin-Sue

[@samaragiesbrecht459]

As a viewer from Fort St. John I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your time here. But thanks for this great season and I hope you make it north to explore around FSJ another time to make better memories!

[@christinamcdermott1318]

This video brought back such memories of when I used to live in Toad River! I have always wanted to go back to Liard Hot Springs! But it’s been almost 20 years! Seeing the bit of the Alaska Highway was wonderful! And it is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this! 😊

[@rustynail2205]

We were lucky enough to swim here the summer of 1993. Dustin walking the path was a trip down memory lane for me.

[@patrickduffy8881]

Thanks for taking us along on the Adventure, Dustin! Looking forward to next season.

[@sealexander]

Love the hoodie. Reminds me of another person 😉

[@mightymouseofnyc]

It's so beautiful. The scenery definitely took me away for a bit. Always watch on a full screen!! Thank you for a wonderful, beautiful, and fulfilling 2023 season and the journey you took us all on.

[@carrierhinier6291]

That was an awesome season, Dustin! Amazing sights and lessons from locals. So happy your rig is more than you expected! Willing to wait to see what’s next! I’m here for the long haul! Looking forward to what ever you share on your channel!- whenever you post!

Thanks for taking us with you Dustin. It was an awesome summer adventure.

[@Awsom47Merc]

I respect a man who faces his demons. Thank for facing yours and showing us the hot springs. Yes amazing summer Dustin ! Thanks for letting us subscibers join you on your adventures into stunning beauty of the great white north. Cheers 🍻👊😎👍🍻

[@LeahWriter]

Fantastic season Dustin. Thank you for sharing your adventures with this homebody ❤

[@barbweimar8278]

I used to work in camps in Fort Nelson, Wonowon and Fort st John. This brought back good memories. I never got to the hot springs so I’m thrilled to see what they look like!! Another stunning video you capture so much more beyond just what the average traveller sees just driving these highways. Thankyou for another gorgeous video Dustin.

[@Farmnflyin]

Me too. I spent many years north and east of Fort Nelson and many other locations up and down the Alaska Hiway. It’s awesome to see my old stomping grounds pop up.

[@mikee9065]

Hey, I too worked the patch for three years driving a cement bulker for a large well service company (you'd recognize the name) based in Fort St. John. Absolutely loved the country up there, so wild, but hated the work and came home to Haida Gwaii. Dustin has explored so many of the places I've lived and worked in the province and I love seeing them through his eyes. You have a nice day.

[@Nancy-xs9pm]

Dustin, thank you for taking all of us along with you on all these adventures. You make it look so easy although I know it is not always that way. Seeing the Alaska Highway at this time of year tells us that we wouldn’t want to do it then. Summer was so much easier. Looking forward to where you take us this winter. Take care and safe drives.

[@lostrailbeds8289]

I can relate to your massive breakfast sandwich debacle of eating/ driving! As a 40 year driver of commercial vehicles, I ended up with just as much sandwich in my whiskers as I did in my belly!! Haha! Also- the first rig you passed had chains on his drivers, but wondering if he JUST put them on. 2nd B-train rig did not. OOOPS!! Chain up BEFORE you get in a jam!

[@lylepetersen814]

Thank you, Dustin. This is the first season of yours that I took weekly with you rather than binging the whole thing. It's been something special. The rig is great. The drone footage this year was your best. While so many will talk about Haida Gwaii, which was by far the most ambitious part of the year, my favorite thing was Bill and Jan living their best lives on the shore of Fishem Lake. I know you can't be lucky enough to come across people like that every week, but it was really inspiring to "meet" them, as it were. I look forward to what's in store. Your content is among the very best on KZbin. I really appreciate everything you do for us.

[@marygoodsell3602]

Sad to see you are done for 2023 but thanks for taking us for the ride! Love your videos!

[@ParklandFilms]

I explored the same abandoned hotel at Summit Lake in the summer of 2019. Was on a fun road trip with a buddy in a 50 year old car up to Alaska. Here is the episode from Going North where we explored the same hotel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ3aY4JnaMabZq8 The place was in worse shape when Dustin explored it. Our trip was amazing and if you like Destination Adventure you will really enjoy the Going North series!

[@JohnCouch-m4f]

Dustin, once again thank you! I can not express enough how good your filming and music choices are. Stunning is all I can come up with! And I really love your scientific way to check on road ice conditions. You are so creative and entertaining that it just draws the viewer into your productions even more. Enjoy your time at home, and as you say, catch you on the next one!!!

[@yvonnehillsden]

Wow, I enjoyed your travels this year, SO much! Going into the uncharted, unknown, largely undiscovered Chilcotin was so special. That is an area that very very few of us will ever be able to experience. And all your other adventures - Salmon Glacier, abandoned mine sites (still laugh about the bear in the RV!), the underground train, and of course all the beautiful ocean travels and Haida Gwaii. And to cap it all off, your drive down that Watson Lk to Ft Nelson stretch which to us, which was one of our most favourite parts of the Alaska Highway. We were SO unprepared for how incredibly beautiful and full of wildlife that stretch would be. And the hot springs.... Ahhhh.... Thank you for allowing us to be part of your life and travels. Watching your channel has so enriched my life! REALLY looking forward to seeing what the future will bring in terms of your new adventures. Have a happy winter and holiday season! Cheers

[@kerryprance3767]

My Mother asked me ( when I was about 12) what the earliest thing I could remember was. I told her about about seeing a crane lifting a wrecked car from deep in a rocky creek bed, and a few other scenes. She told me that was from 1957 on the Alcan Hwy. It was ALL gravel back then. Only primitive gas stations every 200 - 300 miles or so. When you passed one, you stopped even if they were closed and waited until they opened next morning. We were from (Ft.) Beal AFB transferred to Elmandorf AFB. Alaska was not yet a state so we got extra time off to say good by to our family in Georgia. So we drove from North California to Atlanta,Ga and then from Atlanta to Anchorage.

[@bobalexander2798]

Love the Alaska highway. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Thanks Dustin. 🇨🇦❤

[@FloridaEbikes]

Id be ebiking all over that place. It's amazing how different and varied this great continent is...🙏✔💯🍊🤙 The vandalism was terrible. At 1st I thought the same who and why but then I remembered being a teenager. No other reason needed just really dumb kids.

[@vovobillinbrazil]

Thanks Dustin. Two things. Regarding the bison. My dad about six years ago was driving through BC somewhere. He came across a herd of them, about 100 or so. He thought he raised the back truck windows up to keep his dog from jumping. Well, he actually lowered it. Next thing he sees is the Schnauzer's rear end running down the road toward the bison. The bison looked at Sam the dog, then continued to graze away. Sam wandered around in the herd for five minutes or so while my mom screamed for him. He got bored and trotted back to the truck. Next a question. How much is your fuel cost roughly per adventure? Or weekly/monthly. Diesel ain't cheap.

[@pierredorion2980]

Absolutely amazing cinematography! You certainly have a 'good eye' for composition. Thanks for sharing.

[@GBodyJames]

good job man! enjoyed all the videos so far great find and its in my top channels for sure. PS i was born in foreskin john shithole haha also did oil patch life for 8 years in alberta/sask but actually drove to mile 101 my first time out but only to get told i couldnt work on that rig thank fuck haha not sure if you have been much but alberta and sask have some super cool old stuff to see too!! cheers from the okanagan!

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

9:04 I was working up at Strathcona Dam in November of 2021, I was coming home at about midnight, I was coming around a tight bend at Snakehead Lake, and there was a 2000 lb Roosevelt Bull Elk standing in the middle of my lane. I managed to stop without hitting it.. He snorts at me, and then bounds off into the bush.. What a magnificent animal.

[@cndream1]

I can't begin to put to words the emotions I feel or the thoughts that cross my mind , of such over whelming beauty and serenity, as I watch your video. I so much want to go there and see and feel the things you show us. But somehow , the reality is , I probably will never be able to. Thanks so much for what you give us. You should no doubt be rewarded handsomely and win every award available for such creativity. WOW just WOW !!!!!

[@lindamacfarland8468]

Thanks for taking us along for the summer 2023 Destination Adventures! This was an amazing video. Majestic mountains, fantastic rocky landscapes, beautiful Caribou and the thrill on ice!

[@JimRO79]

I think it's perfectly reasonable to wrap up the 2023 Summer Season travel just there Dustin, I mean, although it's only the beginning of November, you have to complete it somewhere right?! 🤣 (Loving the Caesars Chariot Wheel Spikes on your rigs wheels too - but they add weight to the end of summer idea eh?!) There's bits there where it felt like I was watching a David Attenborough Wildlife documentary - Definitely some epic video editing and creation going on there which is always a pleasure to watch 🥰 And is that a sneakie peak, might you be able to sneak your Grandpa out for some additional trips too? Fingers Crossed! And hey, what about your Dad, or all three Generations, that would be EPIC! 😉

[@ryanbeale3901]

Love the content. Killer cinematic section in the middle!!!!!! I was a theatre set installer for 10 years mostly on Princess, so when you talk about your time with them it always brings a smile to my face. Looking forward to what’s next.

[@shannipat]

OK....some of the most epic and beautiful scenery EVER. That was such a cool hot springs. Probably one of the neatest I've ever seen! I would travel all the way there just for that! Thanks again for taking us along.....just wow. I am very impressed with the vehicle. When you were on that ice and said you were in two wheel drive? We are all looking forward to what the future brings with these adventures. Thank you so much!!!!

It's nice to see a different view of winter. ❤ Your videos are awesome, thank you for sharing such wonderful things with us.
