DRIVING TO MILE 0/ ALASKA HIGHWAY / Dawson Creek / RV Life / Life on the ALCAN / RV Road Trip Plans

We've been planning this Alaska RV road trip for over a year and we're doing it. Enough talk, let's walk! Well...we'll drive but you get the picture.
Taking our Class C to Alaska so we can get to some remote areas and drive on roads less traveled. We've taken our Big Rig before but this time will be different. We're going to Denali and Tek campground but also the Dalton highway and so much more.
Starting at Mile marker 0 in Dawson Creek is an exhilarating experience as all the planning has come to fruition as we start our adventure this summer.
May is early to drive up to Alaska but we want to spend more time, 5 months more time! Some campgrounds are closed but some really cool ones are open...one of the advantages of going early is that those RV parks which are open are rarely busy so we can stay flexible with no reservations.
Beautiful waterfalls in Wells Gray make for an interesting stop. So good that we extended our stay in the North Thompson Provincial Park. Arriving in Prince George, BC we opt to stay at a Passport America park which we've stayed at before. In fact, our big rig is featured on their website to show that HDT's can fit in Mama Yeh RV Park.
We finally arrive in Dawson Creek, British Columbia the start of the Alaska Highway at Mile 0. Of course, a visit to Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire and the Visitor Center are all part of the day's activities along with a visit to the Kiskatinaw curved bridge.
Daily fuel stops will be a different sort of travel duty for us and they continue through this trip.
It will be fun and an adventure in a Class C plus, bigger than a vanlifer (Van Life) but smaller than a truck Super Class C. We'll scout out places for future visits to Alaska (there will be 4 of them).

Our Class C is built by Thor Motorcoach on a Ford F550 chassis. It's a production build Magnitude model XG32. We tow our red Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind it. We've made some modifications to it so that we can boondock comfortably. Lithium batteries, Victron 3000w multi-plus inverter, dual alternators charge while traveling and mods to the water system greatly enhance it's boondocking capabilities.
Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2- 4K watt 240v Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our LG Mini split HVAC and stove
Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL
We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.

Yeah beautiful bridge, gosh look at all that beautiful scenery love it

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That bridge is so cool and the area is really neat. Thank you.

[@tonybradburn1591]

From my memories of being in Alaska, in the 70's. Moose poop was a large oval pellet like object. A little more than an inch long. I've seen them made into a moosequito, by sticking a porcupine quill for a moosequito

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Tony. Sondra is always on the lookout for moose 💩! It takes her a day to reacclimate to seeing it again.

[@valyd45]

Hello and thank you for the beautiful footage of BC! Stunning! Your choice of music was epic too. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

I’m from 100 Mile house and hubby was born and raised in Dawson creek.. love watching you guys..

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Lora. We love the Dawson Creek area. We almost went through 100 Mile as we left Osoyoos but wanted to see Wells Grey. Beautiful area. Excited to have you along on the journey. 😊

[@lorakatchmar8550]

If ur coming back through Dawson creek go to the butcher block.. and if you go through 100 mile you have to try BJs Donuts… We just got a 2022 Montana high country 337fl as our wedding .. so we are getting married Aug 1 and just going camping with friends and family and signing papers.. can’t wait for all of our adventures 💕

[@rchinn7057]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I get to live vicariously thorough you all lol. And the Helmcken Falls were absolutely amazing!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Helmcken Falls were spectacular and we've never seen anything quite like them. Thanks for the comment and appreciate your time watching the channel. 😊

[@Sushi2735]

My parents had a condo for 30yrs. in Acapulco. We used boxed milk the whole time. Came in quart boxes and tasted great when cold. Only way to have freshish clean milk. Wish I could find it here for hurricane season. We were big homemade granola eaters! They sold in 2012 when things got dangerous. But they still have American friends who spend six months are year there. Crazy!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I will say that the boxed milk saved our butts a few times. We would have run out in the wilderness!

[@phyllissmith1105]

Absolutely gorgeous scenery. The waterfalls, WOW! Happy travels.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Phyllis. The waterfalls were spectacular! Get ready for more mountains though! Lol.

The falls were very cool, Kris. So unique that we had not seen before. Glad you're along on the journey. 😊

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

Neat idea pre-packaged some of your supplies for the months coming up

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. Sondra wanted to be prepared and make sure we had some of our favorite foods. It's worked out great.

[@kevinwheat390]

Wow, it looks great. This is on our bucket list.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Lots of fun, Kevin. Take it slow on the Alcan around Destruction Bay and enjoy the journey. It's a big beautiful state.

[@edwardsweeten4152]

Love your channel. No other you tuber captures the beauty like you do and the music background is awesome. Love the music background that you used when showing the bridge. Looking forward to getting into Alaska. I know this is a year late, but like they say better late then never.

[@larryclark6212]

Great camp site. Watch out for the Grizzly Bears.😎

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Larry. Oh, Sondra has her camera ready!

[@ptwhd]

Thanks for sharing😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're welcome, Peter. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Sushi2735]

That was the best camp site you have stayed in! Those Falls were just breathtaking! Hope you stayed two days! It was awesome ❤❤❤❤❤ You could spend months just exploring Canada, and never be disappointed. Simply a beautiful country, and such nice people, too! Who is Tucker? Your silent twin. Are you traveling together? Longtime friends, or met on the road?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It was a really nice site. We plan to spend more time in Western Canada for sure. Beautiful country. Tucker was the name of the other unit. Just some people that used us to get up to Alaska. Once across they left us. Oh well... we had a spectacular trip. Thanks for watching. Appreciate your comments.

[@DebraKopera]

Beautiful videos

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Debra. We tried to capture the beauty of what we're experiencing and hope that it comes through. Quite spectacular for sure!

[@jameswbarry9576]

Ok you two go on alot of hikes have you been keeping up on your steps and good job splitting the wood and good camp fire take care happy camping

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, James. We enjoy hiking...and campfires...and traveling...I like to split wood for the camp fires. Glad I brought my maul. Stay cool this summer.

[@steveburden6938]

Just found your videos today. We live in Dawson Creek, the apartments right behind the museum at the mile zero marker. Sunday we leave on our new adventure in our recently purchased used R Pod. First stop Mama Yeh campground. Enjoy Alaska

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Steve. Safe travels on your adventure. You'll be able to get into a lot of places with the RPod.

[@polarisman67]

GREAT VIDEO!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you very much.

[@AztaTheGreat]

Its so surreal seeing the town i live in on youtube Dont see it everyday

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hopefully, it gives you a different perspective to see it through the eyes of a visitor. I enjoyed watching Hawaii 50 for the same reason. Thanks for watching the channel.

[@billstoys8324]

Your next trip through that area you must stop at Baskerville B.C. It is east of Quesnel. It is an old mining town that is set up to visit complete with actors playing the parts of the town's people. So much fun!!! Love your travels and can relate to your Moto. The Journey is the Destination.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Bill. I'll have to notate that area and plan a stop in the future. It sounds like fun. We toured around Tombstone, AZ a few years ago and really enjoyed the "immersive" feel of the visit. Really appreciate your comment and your time watching the channel.

[@robertnasser9937]

I loved northern lights RV Park. That’s where we got snowed in and I learned to close the valves and not leave them open in the cold.

[@duckysnest610]

keep on trucking

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh yeah....it's a big state and we have 5 months to explore it!

[@carolyngrover2038]

Love the waterfalls and the scenery. Thank you for taking us along.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You're welcome, Carolyn. The falls were beautiful and so different. Each was unique and afforded us a great experience.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Going to be awesome, i’ll much for the next one

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Andrew. It's going to be a fun summer.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Thank you, Andrew. We enjoy RV traveling and this lifestyle for the past 8 years really agrees with us. Glad you're along with us on the journey. 😀

[@christinetodd9817]

Hey I live mile 47 Alaska highway! Love seeing travels about the area I’m in

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That is sooo cool, Christine. Thanks for watching the channel. I hope that we did the area justice.

[@jeannenason6472]

While you were digging in your boxes you mentioned apricots, they need to be declared when coming into Canada. Kindling wood also needs to be declared but most likely will be confiscated.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hey Jeanne, we understood that dried, in original packaging and unopened was allowed to cross the border; however, no fresh of any kind. Thanks for the comments. 😃

[@lfoster7085]

Exactly. Transporting wood brings invasive species.

[@barbarastegen2657]

That bridge was awesome the way it what around like a horseshoe I would have loved to have gone over it when it was open ..it's so beautiful there

[@barbarastegen2657]

Thank you for taking me along to Alaska and show us around places that I will never get too

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We were able to drive across it on 2017, very cool experience...a little unnerving but very cool indeed. 😎 Glad you're along on the journey. 😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We enjoy traveling, Barbara. That makes us happy that you can join us. Let's have a great summer!

Who is that in the “Twin Rig”?? I am loving this series of vids!! ❤

Eat a S’mores Donut for me at Tim Hortons. We did the Alaska thing in 2015 & again in 2022. Amazing trips. Enjoy.

I had the apple fritter, Dolan. It was amazing. Probably the best fritter since Mexico. Delicious 😋

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Another great episode, I love the gorgeous scenery mixed in with your 'shopping trips', hikes and amusing (and informative) banter.

Thank you, Wayne & Lynne from NZ! We're excited that you are along on the journey with us. It should be a fun summer in Alaska. 😊

[@tonybradburn1591]

I drove home from Delta Junction, in April 1975. I don't remember much about the route. Was the wooden bridge in use at that time. We missed so much on our ride home.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

A lot has changed since 1975... but if you drove over the curved wooden bridge (Kiskatanaw) then you are one of a few to have done that, bravo! We've driven across it a few years back but not as part of the Alaska Highway... just a side trip.

[@karenenglish4900]

I was impressed to see the monthly grocery boxes. Have never seen that but quite practical. Loved the Falls tours. Stay safe, God Bless

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Karen. It's a different approach than most but it allows us to have "familiar" foods on hand... and unfortunately, there is not a Superstore near most of our stops!

[@robertbryson1]

So cool never been up there.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It's a beautiful area, Robert. We'll be back in the future but we first have to finish this trip. Lot's more to do and see. Thanks for the comments. 😊

[@charlesslaten3726]

Just Beautiful. Wondering if you had any issues using the drone in Canada. I know they have some different laws on using them.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Great question, Charles. We have had zero issues so far and have followed all posted regulations in every area. Canada has a much more pragmatic approach to their usage. Thanks for the comment. 😃

[@b.4105]

Just a heads up, drones are not allowed in Provincial Parks.

We walked on the bridge last year.

I see T-Fal in the Canadian tire store! My popcorn making pan is T-Fal and slowly crumbling apart it is so old. Just another reason to go to Alaska!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yep. T-Fal is not the greatest. But they all have limitations.

[@DsMa-mm8ho]

@@bigtruckbigtravels Ahh, bummer. Went to Canadian Tire website. The reason the pan worked so well for popcorn was their adjustable vented lid which the pans no longer have.

[@bobbrink3635]

In 94 i came down from Anchorage on the Alcan while they werr finishing the new road. I was in the service and decided to drive home and we were pulling a small camp trailer and my wife and i spent the might in the trailer in a small town, took off early and it was miserable it had snowed and under it was mud and junk from the constriction. We got to the next small place and stopped. They were curious about where we came from and i told them the town and i said it had taken us about 4 hourd to go 25 miles because the road was so bad and they said it was closed last night and expect to open in the morning. No wonder we didnt hsve any traffic 😂 we were dumb. Have a better trip and Gods speed

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh man, Bob. Glad you made it safe! The roads are much better now. Thanks for your service. Let's have a great Sumner!

[@loydalexander154]

Sweet guys I could really just stay there for a long time 😊

It's a beautiful area and someday we may return to spend much more time in Canada.

[@ariverstonesthrowaway]

The scenery is absolutely stunning. We are hoping to start planning our Alaska trip for next year - will definitely go get the Milepost guide. Hope you folks will share a map of your travels along with some of the campground stops - love the two you showed on this video just hoping we can get into the Provincial with a 45' toyhauler! We really appreciate all the stunning video coupled with super nice music! Great job! What are you using for a drone - the shots were great! Keep the videos coming... it's like we are along with you two (only warmer). 🤣🤣 Continued safe travels!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you very much. We use a DJI mini 2 drone and we plan to have a recap at the end of our trip which will include a map. Each video will show the campgrounds we stay and the area if we're boondocking. Glad you're along with us on the journey. 😀

Watching your videos has made me reconsider to look into class C! Thank you

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

There are some definite advantages but we miss our big rig. We are surprised by how "roomy" our 32 ft Class C is and how comfortable. It does get a little cozy at times but it's very doable.

[@petem6846]

Another great video, David and Sondra! We drove the highway in 2007 and I remember well, the original Alaska Highway bridge you showed about 30 minutes in. I think we were still able to drive it then. I wondered then how long they would choose to maintain it. Thanks for all your sharing and safe travels!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Pete for sharing. We drove across it in 2017 but just to get to the other side! They closed it to traffic in 2021 or 2022 (I believe). Still a beautiful structure. Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate your time watching the channel.

[@justkiddin08]

Love falling you guys on this trip. When I drove trucks in Alaska, I had a route that took me to Prince George BC There use to be a restaurant called the Great wall I would eat at. Enjoying your video!!

[@puppygadget3189]

What a perfect campsite right on the water. And gorgeous shots you get with your drone camera and great editing. Wow what beautiful waterfall . In the United States they need to build more reservoirs to store water especially In California. 😊 Be safe

Yes they do. Thank you for the kind comments. We enjoy traveling and sharing our experiences as fulltime RVers. We're excited that you are along on the journey. 😎

[@christinetodd9817]

What happened was part of the banks of the river sloughed and caused some issues with the bridge. We are hoping it will be repaired. The campgrounds below are closed too due to the integrity of the bridge.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks. The winter precip caused a lot of issues across the board but it looks like everything is getting addressed nicely. We had great weather and it was a beautiful drive.

[@jps1139]

A tip ! Safeway offers a discount card for food and fuel. At least they did when we were there a couple of years ago. Happy travels to your merry little group. Be safe.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. We have the card since Valdez has a Safeway and we got it there last time. Appreciate the tip and we're always looking for cheaper fuel!

[@johnbrown7312]

Great to see you are enjoying your journey. The last time I was up in that country the old bridge over the Kiskatinaw was still in use, in fact the first time it was the only bridge. The new route is a big improvement though.

The first time we were up here in 2017, we drove across it but now it's in definite need of repair. Hope they get it done! Thanks, John, for the comment.

Wow, that part of BC/Canada is amazing, thanks to your video and drone footage! Thoroughly enjoyed this, not to mention that campsite overlooking the water, kinda or on a bluff. And so far plenty of stores to visit and get your restocking on. But I don't see where you need very much of that, thanks to those monthly grocery boxes! You guys are always so fun to be around even though one of you is a Serial (Cereal) Mixer lol. Wishing you continued safe and wonderful travels. Happy Mothers Day Sondra. Mine is going to be 89 this year! Still driving so far!

Thanks, KB, so much for the comments. So far the trip has been amazing but we've got even better views coming up, believe it or not. And another great campsite which we couldn't believe. Happy Moms Day to yours, that's great she's still independent and driving. Stay active!

Definitely, Mike. The bridge was solid but really looked in need of some TLC...maybe next time.

[@nancylancaster5457]

Love your GoPro camera.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks! It's great but it's a love/hate sometimes! 😆 🤣

[@sharonpullen1355]

We are from BC and lived in AK for a while. Make sure you gas up before getting to Muncho Lake! Gas is waaaaay expensive there! They have only one place to get gas and they know it. You’re going to see cars with gas cans strapped to the roof, that’s why! Also side note:- Bear and moose poop are distinctly different. Bear poor looks like a cow patty with berries. Moose poop looks like a heap of large grapes. Also remember it’s spring, bears are waking up…hungry, and with cubs. They are very protective. Bring Bear spray and put empty soup cans hanging from your back pack to make noise, like a wind chime but noisier. Also, May long weekend is when most provincial parks open for camping so it’ll be hit and miss through BC. Looks by this video you haven’t got to where the bison are yet. Have your camera ready there!

[@sharonpullen1355]

Oh! And you have to stop in Watson Lake for the sign Forest! And going into Whitehorse there’s a huge souvenir shop, it’s gorgeous inside, should check it out for sure!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We passed by the fuel in Muncho Lake, thanks. It was pricey. Williams Lake was the best pricing so far for diesel. Next week, we're showing more of our trip...more animals and more beautiful shots. Thank you. 😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

The sign post forest is a definite stop, Sharon. The Yukon government camp at Watson lake is nice to get away from it all!

[@Melting_Fireman]

Been in front of that sign in Dawson Creek a few times! Toad River is a cool stop, Liard Hotsprings is pretty awesome and the Watson Lake sign forest is a must and then Whitehorse start of the Yukon River. I'm excited to see when you get to my old stomping grounds of North Pole & Fairbanks. I'm hoping to be up there for Summer Solstice end of June.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That's a great time to be in Fairbanks, Brad. We'll be north of there during the Summer Solstice so we're super excited to see 24 hours of daylight. Whitehorse is cool and we love to visit the SS Klondike and Dawson City to bring the history of the Yukon Gold rush full circle. Liard is very relaxing. Beautiful area. Safe Travels.

So pretty.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Nancy! 😊 it was a great trip.

[@TheImaginaryLens]

we in Canada call it Crappy Tire! lol that term originally came from Ontario where Im from but I now live on Vancouver Island. happy Trails guys!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

LOL...that's a very "endearing" name for them....hmmmm....🤔😎😁🤣

[@TheImaginaryLens]

@@bigtruckbigtravels yes it is lol, that saying has been around for a long time. BTW, if you havent been, come on over to the island, lots of camping especially FSR here on Vancouver Island. I think you guys would love Strathcona Park. Lots of wildlife too.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

@@TheImaginaryLens we definitely want to get to Vancouver Island. Hmmm... wonder if our big rig will fit?!?

[@TheImaginaryLens]

@bigtruckbigtravels I would recommend the type C because of the ferry over would be expensive because of length. Not a problem getting on the ferry though. But with the small rig you will ve able to get to a lot more places here than the big rig. Jay...

This video just came up on my feed this morning. I live in Dawson Creek. It’s too bad they’ve let that historical bridge decay. Shameful. My Mom lived in Dawson Creek in 1942 when the soldiers were arriving to start the build of the highway. She wrote down her story of the day of the huge blast downtown when a building storing dynamite and blasting caps exploded.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Wow, Bonnie. That must be a fantastic story. What a time in Dawson Creek to witness history. Thank you for sharing.

[@jessicaw.6321]

In that picture of the the car bringing in the travel trailer right behind it was a semi truck that semi trucks and bison on it that's who I work for LOL or at least the American won the USA won bison USA. I thought that was funny

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That is sooo cool, Jessica. Thanks for sharing. 😎

[@adi7795]

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

[@adi7795]

8:54 falls flow backwards for 2 seconds

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hmmm...might have been the camera speed with the slow motion.

[@edwardashworth5195]

Hope you made it past ft St. John before the fires. A lot of people are being evacuated

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Yes, thank you, Edward, we are well past Ft St John and ahead of the evacuation. We feel bad for those impacted.

Williams Lake-Bills Water

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hmmm... we got fuel there... but no water.

[@HeleneR67]

Just loving your educational videos. Can you please share who your travelling twin are. Maybe interview them would be great 👍 cannot believe you haven't been approached by sponsors as you are both fun with your excitement of discovery of learning. Cannot wait until the next video 📸😄❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Great question, Helene. They're some friends of ours who don't want to be on KZbin but they don't mind us filming their rig on occasion. We get approached every week about sponsorships or reviewing their products but that's not why we're doing the channel. We want to document our memories and provide info for those wanting to start their own path in RVing. Thanks for watching. 😎

[@HeleneR67]

@@bigtruckbigtravels thank you for your response, may God continue to bless your travels 🤗😘🙏📸❤️

[@christinetodd9817]

The bridge has some major issues going on. Buckling.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Oh wow! It definitely did not look to be "vehicle worthy". We drove on it in 2017 but not this time. I hope that they repair it. It's a neat area to visit.

[@Cptstokes]

Your traveling buddy doesn't like to be on camera?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Nope. It's OK to get their rig but they don't want to be in the video. Different strokes, eh?!?

[@nickanderson8008]

When you get to Mucho Lake how about stopping there and have them to tilt there cameras down where everybody can see the vehicles go by. We have been to Alaska 5 times sense 2010 sure do love the drive. We where there in 1988 and drove the old Hwy all the way up there they have took a lot of miles off of it. Drive safe and enjoy

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hey Nick, they have removed a lot of miles and even more curves! The drive around Muncho Lake is extremely beautiful and one of my favorites. Appreciate your comments.

[@christinetodd9817]

You have part of the slide in your filming

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

LOL...thank you. We're trying but not perfect. Appreciate your comments and watching the channel.

[@hectorgonzalez74hg]

Get the Diesel T Delta Junction Tesoro is cheap than Fairbanks and Tok

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Hector. We'll be there in a few days.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

There are definitely some desolate roads up here, Flyby! We have Starlink as our wilderness mode of communication, so far it's been good. Always good to be prepared. Thanks for thinking of Sondra for Mother's Day.

[@harrisonchevy4452]

Beautiful camp site for sure. Did you bring your fishing gear? The rushing waters sounds so good, beautiful falls.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Not a fisherman, Harrison but the sound of the river is sooo nice.

[@duckysnest610]

If your into fishing thats a beautiful place

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We're into eating salmon and halibut and Alaska shrimp and ....we may fish for halibut this time. Thanks for the comment. 😊

[@duckysnest610]

@@bigtruckbigtravels make sure to wear a back brace they are tough to pull up. Good luck!

[@rburoni]

Love your drone footage! But, cutting wood In clogs? Your camp site was awesome.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you and yes, I shouldn't have split wood in my crocs...on the other hand, the wood was fairly dry and easy to split. Appreciate your time watching the channel. 😊

[@DebraKopera]

Looks beautiful Is there another couple with you it looks like it from the videos

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Very observant, Debra. Yes, they are friends of ours that wanted to tag along on our Alaska adventure but they don't want to be on camera so we respect their wishes. They don't mind if we film their rig but they just don't want to be in the video personally.

[@epiphany8276]

Our Jeep was Ducked in Morro Bay CA. Still not sure what it's all about!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Lol... it's a Jeep thing for sure. Just having fun. Morro Bay is gorgeous. We love that area of California. Thanks for the comment. 😃
