Camping on the shores of Tuktoyaktuk (as far north as you can drive!) [S1E28]

On the edge of the Arctic Ocean, lies the hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk. In this episode we spend several days here being immersed in the community and culture. What we find will forever be etched in our memory. Tuk is so much more than just a waypoint...

Just found your terrific channel by accident . Subbed . When you were in Tuk you probably noticed that 300 foot by 54 inch comm tower . I built that and another every 40 miles south to Yellowknife and also a tower west of Tuk every 40 miles to the Coppermine River . Spent 5 years in the Yukon and NWT building towers mostly at remote sites . Keep 'em coming . This is great . Awesome family .

[@LifestyleOverland]

I did notice! That would have been an interesting job for sure. Thanks for the support!

[@mefford67]

The small sculpture of the hunter and birds was truly magnificent even if it fit on a shelf...😘 What a lovely and wild spot to visit!

[@Malc664]

Good to see Stewy wearing Blundstones. All the way from Tassie. The Indigenous people are really nice. Makes your trip unforgettable.

[@bryantbrown6892]

Awesome video! You guys are making memories that you two, and Caroline will NEVER forget. Parenting done right!

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks so much for the support!

[@caesarchiu7574]

You got a real Polar Dip at the end of the land into the Arctic Ocean. Thanks for the video and keep up the amazing works!

[@6320150]

Damn .. Caroline is the "real thing".... Everyone is in a winter coats and she is just waliking around in a T'shirt ! I've even seen videos where mom and dad were 'bundled up' more then her. Awesome

[@theaztecsun]

Much love and respect to this family for sharing their journeys with us. God Bless. 🇺🇸

[@juanbtf]

I think the ending is the best part just because it's one of those things that you HAVE TO DO when you go to a place like that because if you don't you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Living life. Awesome video!!!

[@michaud399]

I used to live up there in the eighties and worked on ice breakers way out on the Arctic ocean as a supply ship for the offshore rigs also worked on the rf shore rigs. And I know John Steen you tour guide very well actually a very good friend of mine.

[@jodysweeten6228]

You guys are really inspiring! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey with us, so that we may find the inspiration to get out and have our own! I know I am personally inspired and as soon as I can figure out a way to afford it, I will start building a rig of my own. I look forward to following all of your adventures for years to come! Thank you for the inspiration! 🙏

[@michaud399]

Good to see John I haven't seen him in 30 years he looks exactly like he did back in the eighties.

[@LifestyleOverland]

That's so cool! Go for it!

[@JibberMac]

We did it about 5 years ago. Southern Ontario out to BC. We had a great time. My wife and I did the Atlantic provinces last summer. Now just N&L to finish off the provinces.

[@hampton61000]

I followed your entire trip. It was amazing and emotional for me. I traveled from Boston to California and back again in three weeks time, thinking THAT was a trip(IT WAS!) But your journey with your young daughter took some courage! Thanks and good luck in your further excursions!

[@regarexpeditions4429]

Beautiful episode. Great to see the part of humanity that needs to be fully shown an embraced. Thanks for sharing.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! Try the salami, it'll change your game!

[@Steve_Farwalker]

I thought I've seen every outdoor adventure video on the tube until I came across this one. Simply the best. Looks like I will be binging your videos to get caught up.

[@KDad514]

The ending of this video was perfect. For sure would have done the same thing. Life is not about having things, it is about doing things and you guys are doing great things. Happy trails

How did you like seeing what life is like above the Arctic Circle? Think you could live in Tuktoyaktuk?

[@Sjackson2369]

Lifestyle Overland it’s negative 15 in Iowa right now I can hack the cold I just don’t care for fish

[@LifestyleOverland]

@@Sjackson2369 Haha! Maybe try the Caribou!

[@chefmartyjoe58]

Would be heaven on earth.

[@terrilegg8428]

This video is my favorite of the series. I enjoyed the history of the area that you shared.

[@Captain-Awesome]

Soooo I live in Texas, Dallas Texas to be specific and must come from a Tropical People because me and the cold are not close friends. Great seeing your trip and being apart of your journey. This is roughly my 3rd video of yours, I will be hanging out with you guys to follow along. Pretty cool to see the Arctic. I bet getting in the Arctic Ocean there at the end was crazy cold. Do you have any idea what the water temperature was? Thank you for the videos! Have a safe trip!! God Bless you and your family!!!

[@JamesBabb]

Wow! Lots of great info here, including the local pronunciation for Tuktoyuktuk. Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

Great trip, great family. Thanks for sharing.

[@RetailRipper]

Frito pie is always a solid choice. Not sure if that’s the common name but it’s what we always call it.

[@Simonandisla]

Ooooo...another Land Rover...yay !! Sorry...back to proper comments !!! Lol. Great video and what a place with so much history and culture. I'm sure all that must compensate for the amount of mosquitos??!! Happy travels bear family 👌👍

[@markpriebe9872]

One of your best videos yet inspiring to go see for myself

[@onthegroundtraveladventure5953]

The Beaufort Sea will look completely different when you get to Alaska. Awesome trip and video!

[@dumluk1984]

Wow, this is epic. No way could I live there, but I'd love to make the trip for a visit, like you've done. Keep up the excellent work.

[@lyndon5478]

Great show I like the family feel to it and the family point of view

[@andrewbyor3198]

Haha your face after she said the fish was fine 😂

[@LifestyleOverland]

Ooof, I'm just not a fish person...

[@ShaynePatton]

Haha! I'm sure I couldn't resist a dip either. I bet it wasn't cold at all huh? ;-) Thanks for continuing to put these out. Keep up the great work & happy adventuring!

[@jesussoto6675]

Viajo con ustedes!!! Una gran experiencia que han compartido con nosotros. Estan coordialmente invitados a Chile, a LInares!!!

[@h3llrayzor59]

Great video. The ending was Epic IMO! Dude... you swam in the Arctic Ocean! :)

[@laferj317]

Loved the ending polar bear plunge!!!

[@jeepslivin]

Ok so i know this is from couple yeats ago. Carolyn grown up a bunch since then. So just gotta say love you for what you've done. Hate you cause your lived my dream. So jealous. Keep it up. Building a rig now to go. Maybe before i die i get to see the artic ocean.

[@sicdavid6292]

Having bad weather days is unavoidable if you have a long distance destination. I started out with the idea of getting a Turtleback a while ago but moved on to a 4X4 van, at a huge expense I might add. I would have ended up with plenty more money to spend had I bought the Turtleback, enough to get a room ever time it rains. I'm not nearly as young as you so comfort is a must. My point is, you guys were smart to have made this choice at a young age.

[@georgeseriani2482]

I can see the wind getting so strong that it flips the trailer over with the tent deployed and people in it.

[@jeepnwithdog]

Mama bear has serious travel mug game. Contigo is second to none.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Those mugs are the bomb!

[@jcxj-yy6dx]

Lmaoo that was an awesome vid! From seeing you guys learn about the local culture to jumping into the arctic water for a few seconds!! #yolo

[@autonatureventures2137]

Wow, the water is so dirty, didn't expected that!

[@bungsyu5662]

[@danmohan1981]

Love your videos... My 5yo daughter and 2yo son enjoy watching with me. A true family show. (one suggestion... it would be great if you could give a map graphic as you move along your journey so we can all have a better idea of where you are).

[@johnknipp]

Another great episode! Thank you!

[@thehulls235]

Well done y’all. Way to take a brisk dip.

@@LifestyleOverland To be honest, I'm surprised the Arctic Circle doesn't have more ... arctic weather?

"The daily grind" lolol. You guys were good sports with the partiers, don't know if this ol' body would adapt as well to the biological time clock gymnastics plus the night owls; it's all in the attitude. Beautiful people up there in Tuk, hardy, industrious and full of warmth; truly makes the experience far richer and memorable. AWESOME. . . . and a fitting baptism in the Arctic Ocean lol. Sweet.
