Hi Everyone. This is the full length 2.5 hr Documentary of our trip to the Arctic in late August / early September of 2022. We hope you enjoy the journey.

[@lban0525]

I have thoroughly enjoyed your trip to the Arctic Ocean. My husband and I traveled in the past and were never able to get that far North. I love the joy you two share in your travels. Thank you.

[@PaulaTheCanadianExplorer]

We were there in July 2022, just before you. I’ve been visiting Dawson City, the Dempster Highway, Inuvik since 2016, and most recently Tuk. I love it up there. Will head back in 2025. It is gorgeous up there, and so humbling. Love watching your journeys and adventures. Stay safe.

[@raycannon70]

This has got to be the most peaceful, beautiful video on KZbin. Man!!! I loved it.

[@EFRT]

So glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻

[@kathyhensarling2537]

Lando and his golden eyes, don’t you wonder what he is thinking? I love animals 😍

[@LunaGrace62]

I enjoy this episode so much! Both of your enthusiasm came through! Even though a 2 and 1/2 hours I was riveted watching it and ended up staying up late to watch it! Thanks for sharing with us! Seeing Lando cuddle up to you and giving those "puppy dog eyes" showed his love for both of you! It pulled on my heartstrings ❣️

[@EFRT]

So glad you enjoyed the movie version of the trip. Yes Lando is such a sweetheart.

[@neonpeachknits6720]

I fell asleep last night watching KZbin and woke up to some amazing ambient music. I opened my eyes and saw this beautiful scenery. Needless to say, it is now 1:39 AM and I feel so peaceful and wonderful, as if I was blessed enough to be along on your journey. Thank you! I am sharing this with everyone I know. WOW

[@EFRT]

So happy you enjoyed this video. We love having you along with us.

[@izzybooth-nuku7137]

Thank you my friend, I needed this after talking with my brother😢he has lung cancer and he went in for surgery but they mucked around with him and he got angry and walked out, it’s really hard for me to go see him as he’s way up north and we’re down bottom of the North Island but you’re videos puts a smile on my face❤❤❤take care and stay safe, much appreciated and love from kiwiNZfamz❤❤❤❤❤

[@dharmaslife]

Prayers for your brother, and you and your family and the doctors❤

[@izzybooth-nuku7137]

@@dharmaslife thank you

[@user-bb8tz2kq7y]

Wow over 2.30 HR Video that's what I am talking about 👍👍💯🤗

[@territhreet]

I've been on the Alcan Highway back in the 70's when it was a dirt road. My Dad followed the oilfield all my childhood. He worked on the pipeline in Alaska was why we drove the highway back then. We pulled a trailer up there to live in. I'm loving the scenery and your journey.

[@EFRT]

great memories! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@danacampbell-vu2ut]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROL!!!! 🎊🎉🎆🎇🎂🎂🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈🎈 Glad you had a great birthday. I really enjoyed the pictures of the kids! 👍👍👍👍Great video! 👍❤️📹😃

[@EFRT]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Hazardbone]

I still remember the old days with your first trip over to new zealand. Im still watching you guys and i will always support you.

[@EFRT]

We are so thankful for you and love your care and support. 😎☺️😃😊😁🐾

[@susanjenkins6628]

Thank you for taking us along with you!! I always wanted to see the country but was not able to. Through people like you I can travel from my living room! Well done❤

[@klsewol]

I am living through you on this adventure! My husband and I have followed this very same route at least 5 or 6 times to work in the Yukon. We have only gotten as far as Tombstone Territorial Park on the Dempster. You make me want to go again!

[@EFRT]

Such a great trip. Enjoy the rest of the Dempster all the way to the Ocean. ❤️

[@klsewol]

Is this your 2nd trip to the Arctic?

[@EFRT]

It was our third time to the Yukon but first time north of the Arctic Circle.

[@bubbamell50]

Your video just popped up on my Utube while relaxing this very hot Sunday. I never thought I’d be interested in travel to the NW, but this is very inviting! Beautiful country and makes me want to visit! Thank you Btw, Lando is so beautiful and I love the way he puts his head on mommy’s shoulder. So so sweet.

[@EFRT]

Glad you enjoyed it! We love Lando.🐾

[@andil6784]

Oh what an awesome EPIC adventure. Just finished the whole show. Your channel is so inspiring. And Carol, please, please, please, pretty please, do the recipe for that “Pork with Honey, ketchup and brown sugar sauce over mashed potatoes” on your Simple Meals channel. My mouth is watering. ❤

[@FreedomNetwork99]

What a stunning place! I was in tears because of the amazing beauty-where the glacier was. My husband went on a fishing trip to the Arctic Circle with his buddy. He spoke of the Tundra. He's passed now. I'm so glad he had the opportunity to see the beauty. Thank you for the awesome video. I hope that I can make the trek one day.

[@EFRT]

So glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry for your loss. Yes I hope you can make the journey. It’s awesome.

[@nancycolbert2703]

This vlog must have taken you days to edit but my God what an “Epic Family Road Trip”. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@starbright47]

Hiya Pete & Carol, What an adventure! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lady Carol. So glad u talked to yr kids. Great driving Pete & dialogue, lovely Lando so enthusiastic but peaceful too. Your having a blast. What a storm and sad about the bridge, fabulous scenery such an interesting journey. Travel Safe & Thank-you Both❣️

[@EFRT]

Thank you. So glad you enjoyed the video.

[@stephenlewis8143]

Didn't realize until I saw the note below, that this was shot in 2022. Still it's a remarkable journey, profound and beautiful camera work, and the music & setting provide solace & wonder re the wondrous country in the Arctic. Your vehicle got you there, and you are safe, that is most important. For us, you took us on a marvelous tour, that most of us will never see.

[@peperetuque7744]

nice seeing all those places thank you

[@EFRT]

You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@bonniebarnekow1415]

I enjoyed this thank you very much. I will be watching more of you guys. I I love your dog he’s gorgeous. Again thank you

[@barbm1000]

Oh my gosh! What wonderful memories this video provided-I was a designated driver for 2 80 year old neighbors from SE Alaska to Inuvik in 2003! Absolutely a bucket list adventure. I especially enjoyed the sandhill cranes passing over when Carol found the caribou antlers🙂 Thank you for an amazing video!

[@EFRT]

So glad you enjoyed the video and that it could bring back some awesome memories of your adventure! Hope you have a wonderful evening.

[@gwenfowler1826]

Beautiful country. Thanks for letting us see it.

[@brendaeldred815]

What an amazing adventure and so happy you both were able to fulfill a lifetime dream. Very envious but it was epic! Thank you so much for letting us experience this absolutely amazing trip with you.

[@kevinwillis9063]

Love what your doing. Your puppy looks so happy. Always been my dream to see the Yukon . Ty for sharing.

[@RedPillJonny]

My Mom and Dad did that trip with their best friends in the 70's when I was in my early teens. They started in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. This brings back a lot of memories from the old lost Polaroids they took. Thank you. ♥

[@EFRT]

So glad you enjoyed the memories. Sounds like quite the adventure your parents were on. Have a wonderful day!

Well thank you for putting these great places in my head. But great video. Safe travels my friends

[@pattigsbh4392]

❤ That was a very enjoyable 2.5 hours. We had some down time during the heat of the day and this was great! Love seeing and feeling the excitement in both of you on the new and long awaited adventure. The Yukon country was so beautifully colorful. Really cool to watch you pick wild berries to enjoy. Carol's antler find and Pete's fishing and gold panning was fun. We can only dream of this and we appreciate you taking us along for this beautiful trip. God bless❤❤ We await for the next adventure.

[@chriscardinal7007]
