CRAZY WINTER DRIVING IN ALASKA! - Road Trip from Anchorage to North Pole

[@PHDarren]

FYI : Denali is the tallest base to peak mountain above sea level in the world, 18,000ft from base to peak plus the 2,000ft plateau it sites on. Everest is of course the highest altitude peak but it sits on the already high Himalayan plateau which is 17,000 ft high, Everest itself if 12,000 ft from base to peak.

[@katiefoster8541]

Love these Alaska videos! I lived in Southeast Alaska for 7 years. Driving up there can be quite an experience! Congratulations on passing 60k subscribers!

[@lonial242]

Eric, all good choices on your driving, especially in a light rental car

[@Dontforgetto]

Haha, Eric- that bird didn’t look very terrifying 🤣🐥

[@andregilbert8060]

Love Alaska. The drive from Anchorage to Fairbanks is epic. Cantwell, Denali and Healy along the way is majestic. Great vid.

[@LitzysDelight]

I actually went "aaaaaw" out loud when the bird tapped on your window :)

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

That drive gave me so much fucking anxiety but definitely got some amazing shots. Glad you guys made it ok and that you actually had a place to sleep this tmie.

[@LeggLife]

You guys handled that drive like a champ! That drive can be treacherous in the winter for sure.

[@EskimoUlu]

I agree, I did it once in the winter, that was enough for me. It's a lot of fun during the summer though. They should drive it again when they come back up here. Better views and more colors in the summer.

[@airthickness]

Nothing special. That guy is just a rookie

[@JD4A84]

Yea, when you see a car upside down, it can be a little intimidating.

[@gabeandlaiaburke]

I thought the birds when that little champ was pecking at the car window!

[@Blahshog]

Well done Eric, for an inexperienced "snow driver" you did extremely well. Relax and enjoy!

[@bobguenther6658]

I would have needed a blindfold on and several shots going through that. Of course in the back seat! Beautiful video of Alaska. Loved it.

[@superchanneljim]

I thought you guys had a 2 wheel drive car but then I saw you drive a Subaru. You’re fine. All wheel drive for the win!!!

[@Kedikee]

There’s no lanes on snow covered roads bec they’re not visible... reminds me so much of back home in Michigan but I don’t miss the winter weather at all 😊 Glad y’all made it there safely

[@vrp406]

Pretty drive. Black ice is terrifying isn't it.

[@jennajay697]

I just discovered your channel and love your content. I am a life long Alaskan. If you want to film a moose, your more than welcomed to come over to my house. There is an expectant calf who comes nibbling almost daily in my back yard. I live halfway between Fairbanks and North Pole. Anyways, I hope you enjoy your trip to Alaska and am looking forward to more vlogs:)

[@gwboles659]

im flying up for a few days in december. driving is my only thing as i have never done much ice. Also would all my leather be ok that time of year or should i step it up?

[@BuddahUK]

I hope your drone had mittens!

[@elizabethalecks-jones6918]

I would totaly drive that slow! Well done you Eric!! Such a beautiful/pretty place in the world! X

[@wbssigns]

The real adventure well done eric

[@MaximumCC]

WBS Signs looking forward to the next installment

[@lynnemorris7516]

Better to arrive a little late than never arrive at all . Love from UK.

[@noasalomon5518]

i liked the shot of Alaskan Malamute dog....

[@latitude918]

Nice driving buddy. Slow and steady in snowy weather. They rented you a Subaru, though, so you were in a really safe, snow worthy car. Have fun in the North Pole!

[@trecaa]

Congratulations on 60K Subs, Not long now until you reach 100K!

[@SD-gm4iy]

That bird was trying to get into a warm place

[@jgmdsn667]

Safe travels! We live in Wisconsin and are used to conditions like that, but you can't count on others to take the care that you do (as you saw when crazies pass you like you're standing still). At least you've got a Subaru rental...makes all the difference in the world. Looking forward to Allison capturing a moose or two on video...stay safe, be well and thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@sylvibutterfly8763]

I really love your channel because its so chill

[@fedupnow61859]

I can't believe that you tried that. Boy, that was bad driving conditions. Enjoy that wine and relax now. Can't wait to see the rest. On my bucket list is the Northern lights also.

[@LinReed_Shukla]

Hey, you guys aren't just adventurers, you are WARRIORS! 😊❤️ You drove all that way and then actually MADE DINNER?! Wow!!! I bow to you. 😄👍 #awesomesauce

[@TripHacksDC]

That thumbnail had me pretty worried for you guys!

[@ArbitraryExploration]

Cold winter snow.... Looks like the weather in Ukraine. Snow, Snow and more Snow. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@susanapplegate9758]

Welcome to Alaska, folks! Where the lanes are made up and the lines don't matter! ;) Glad to see you drove the Official State Car of Alaska! I'm actually driving to NP from Anchorage tomorrow morning after my workout, to see my sister before she starts school again (a teacher) and luckily found your channel!

[@annielawilde4048]

Driving in snow and ice is the worst but you guys were so calm, ha! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@sylvibutterfly8763]

This is amazing! THe NORTH pole! !!!!! X

[@WileE.Coyote]

Dinner looks delicious ! I am JEALOUS/HUNGRY/STARVING!!!!!!!

[@anchoragearchives2341]

Driving in Alaska is always fun

[@paulmoore4223]

Alaska looks stunningly beautiful!

[@dragonmac1234]

I don't blame Eric for driving like a grandma, slow and steady is the way to do it. The last time I drove in snow and ice I hit a patch of black ice and wrecked my car (I was thankfully ok), please be careful on those Alaskan roads :-)

[@salmonslayer49]

Good for you guys taking a trip like that in the winter. I was stationed in Alaska for 9 years (you passed by it on the Glenn -JBER) and my wife and I drove that route many times and even did the ALCAN in winter; you get used to it. But....I cannot imagine doing the Anchorage to North pole trip at 38mph.....that is a long slog.

[@lisat6689]

Reminds me of where I grew up and lived for a long time..... Colorado ❤️😀 absolutely beautiful

[@ColinBloodworth]

Driving in snow is no joke. Well done, Eric!!

[@melissaadami3144]

Canada looks exactly like that...sadly lol 😂

[@grahvis]

In that sort of weather I think I would misquote Captain Oates. "I am not going out and I may be some time." Fantastic scenery though.

[@Marc-nc9yv]

funny video, not sure where you are from and how you didnt know about Denali but looked like a blast

[@richardmeyer418]

I joined you guys on (I think 32K viewers) and went back watched it all - saw the celebrations for 5K and so on and here you are - 60K Well done, people - highlight of my day when I get an Endless Adventure video ...

[@mehranbirds726]

Good sharing 👍

[@DNsRoom]

oh wow

[@ebonywahine]

So so happy y'all made it to Fairbanks safely!! Scary biscuits on the hi way tho'! Take care! Peace!

[@EskimoUlu]

I'm here in Fairbanks, its still 16 degrees outside, and it's April 3rd, it is 12:35 in the morning so... it is still cozy inside. Also It snowed Saturday night/Sunday morning, even the weather was playing pranks for April Fool's Day.

[@Worldofourown2024]

Wow, that is wild how you're camera flipped everything left to right making the steering wheel on the wrong side as if you were in England. Kool Winter trip guys.

[@evitavanduin6914]

Made me put Alaska on my travellist!

[@justinamelody2850]

Alaska is beautiful cant wait for more vlogs looking forward to the adventures.

[@brandonfischer2931]

HAHA, You guys are fun to watch.. I used to drive that in the dark in an 18 wheeler in worse conditions at the speed limit with some regularity. I still frequent that road in the winter and there has been a handful of times I had to slow down to the 30's, but that's usually when visibility is about 20' due to snow storms. Way to stay safe in an unfamiliar environment though.... By the way.. don't be terrified of that little camp robber.. He won't eat much and if he pecks you, you won't die..

[@SuperDolly64]

LOL just looked up north pole alaska-so not THE North Pole, but North Pole Alaska, as in Paris Texas. Looks chilly-keep warm xx

[@mhollick63]

You know Alaska is still there in July and August. February is a choice though.

[@Zombie-gi2gn]

You guys should make a video of your home cooked meals on the road, everything you guys make look yummie!

[@michaelkurz9067]

Dinner looking good: )

[@kinerf1312]

we just experience the same thing in New Jersey yesterday and last night (March 21) ... over 10" of snow ... driving was atrocious. .. and many drivers here don't know how to drive in snow and slush ... hope you guys are ok ... next time, book Alaska in the summer ... LOL ;)

[@allansisson355]

After being so tense on that drive, in a rental. A car your not sure how it handles. Not a bottle each? Oh and that bird, was very cool. Great job, guys.

[@harleydixon3303]

You guys remind me of Sheldon and Amy from Big Bang Theory LOL but that's a good thing

[@ilirunited389]

i love so much snow in my place in winter is so hot i cant belive

[@FaithsFallen]

Loved this vid, a beautiful part of the world!

[@heavenlylight317]

That is normal for us on the roads here in Minnesota in the winter

[@rosieamber7799]

Those drone shots tho! 👌

[@jenniferolson9872]

That snowy terrain looks a lot like northern Wisconsin right now.

[@alaskafromscratch4279]

Love your vlogs! Holler from Anchorage :) Come back in the summer!! It's a whole lot different but equally magestic

[@Theendlessadventure]

👋 we can't wait to come back...and next time it'll definitely be in the summer 😎

[@christianbuczko1481]

The bird was after some food. Hope you gave it some....did you get to see the northern lights btw??? I know these vids are a few weeks behind and we had a few solar storms which produce them in the last few months, I'm curious if you got lucky.

[@rydeooo]

this is why you drive a subaru!

[@adamforest1986]

My arms were sore for 3 days when I was 10 and my sister took me to the top of the stratosphere in Vegas then we boarded a ride that shoots you to the moon. Literally couldn't move arms 3 days. Guess that's what the wifey is for, kidding

[@NZKiwi87]

So beautiful - but BRRR!

[@stopsins7143]

Thanks so much.

[@stankormy5717]

Stay safe guys!

[@sylvibutterfly8763]

Somerset places to visit include the old houses- Tyntesfield is a beautiful place to visit. Look up National trust places you could even buy a I live in a seaside town called "Burnham-On-Sea" Near Taunton, Bristol- Bristol is definitely a place to visit Taunton Bristol Burnham-on-sea- best fish n chips ever- longest pier! grossest sand London Portishead Nailsea Why not visit LONDON too, love to see you on the LONDON eye !

[@spive21]

stunning scenery

[@diffmull]

The roads looked very tricky, and very stressful! By the way, I'm getting mid-roll ads from youtube now which are very disruptive. Do you have an option to choose pre-roll (and post-roll) ads instead, which I always let play at least 30 seconds?

[@Michael-uk6ge]

Cool

[@deemo8578]

i just wanna sat big up 2 u2 for driving so safe, you drew so much attention away from me digging ditches for my fellow no followers that i was able to grow 10x this week!!

[@disoriented1]

Mount McKinley!!

[@rightasrain7949]

Denali!!

[@phronsiekeys]

Kids, I really love watching your videos. But what did you expect in Alaska in March re weather? I live in New England and we've had 3 snowstorms this month. I know you want to be spontaneous, but .... !

[@jasonwtheis5921]

Hahah; I love the part where you shared your average speed (38 mph) going up the Parks. I suppose that, after a time (and with a familiar vehicle), one becomes more acclimated to the road conditions. If I happened to pass you like you were standing still... I apologize. :)

[@willx8837]

love your Vlogs guys, although i dont think you would make it on the show "Ice Road Truckers" :)

[@lorenjackson8961]

The Parks Highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks is an easy stretch to drive...even in winter. If you avaraged on 38 mph on that 357 mile drive.....you might want to stay in warmer climates and avoid Alaska. SMH

[@donayk1756]

It's really hard to drive good job

[@joelwerre]

is your streering wheel on the wrong side?

[@gavincrow7374]

Gotta get the Toyota 4Runner (older one) or Nissan Xterra (2003) those are perfect for the snow

[@fbksfrank4]

Actually, the colder the better for ice driving, it makes it stickier.

[@kamrulhowladar110]

Amazing video

[@TheAnatous73]

Stay safe! ❤️

[@meestermeesterhastings.3159]

Not one baked Alaska joke man.

[@heavenlylight317]

Lol, You guys have this thing about visiting northern countries/states in the winter.

[@Eclipse-kg1hd]

nice journey

[@tien90802]

Why do you alternate from driving on the right side to the left side?

[@markomarko9955]

That feeling when even the birds are against you and they wanna break the glass and get you..I mean, c'mon, birds?!.. They don't even eat meat...or do they? o.O :D

[@Wendyx2000]

Marko Marko When the little birds run out of food in winter, they have to find another food source... an unsupecting tourist will last them until spring ;-)

[@phuoitrinh1]

You shouldn't be driving in the left lane if you're driving slower than other cars.

[@Andy_U]

Hiya. Like a couple of others, I'm also confused. When, how, why did you switch from left-hand drive to right-hand drive and back again?

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

LOL I was just going to make a joke about that! The removable steering wheel! I am sure it was just a technical booboo.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Hah, funny we didn't catch that. The GoPro just recorded upside down, probably should have spun it around instead of flipping vertically 😂

[@foodculture6355]

Fairbanks is considered the North Pole?

[@Deegee-je8dz]

New sub, got your info from Flying theNest

[@MdMasud-mk5ib]

wow

[@mithaweed]

why is Eric on what looks to be the passenger side? how did the video get somehow "flipped"? The birdie is hungry let her in!

[@jillianbjornstad949]

When they say The North Pole and not just North Pole. *Rolls eyes* And driving that slow on that road would be more dangerous than anything.

[@rightasrain7949]

Be nice to our visitors to Alaska! For some this is a trip of a lifetime! Treat them with the same courtesy you expect when you're visiting elsewhere.

[@delightrie]

Nice!
