EP5 Some Scores Need Settled In The Remote Parts of Alaska // X Overland's Alaska: The Last Frontier

[@mnhockeyone]

This is by far the best series you've produced. You told a story without unnecessary drama. Looking forward to the next production!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@danieldey]

Agree!

[@hollowpoint45acp]

I think we all know the missing element that leads to drama...

[@edwardrutledge4344]

I was in a bar with my coworker of 28 years the other night. Two Cops having a nice Bourbon. I asked him how he was doing and he said “ I’m addicted to this show called Expedition Overland.” I laughed and said I’ve seen every episode. Neither one of us had any idea we both loved adventuring!!! Amazing job to the entire team!!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you so much for being a part of this community!

[@Texasfinalboss831]

It’s making me jelly much!! And itching to get my own overlanding rig someday!!

[@NaveedKhan-bm8cg]

❤❤❤

[@joshvega428]

I don’t think I’ve ever suffered from jealousy until I started watching these series. I wish I was there learning, contributing, and enjoying the moments with this T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More). Thanks for creating such great content!

[@LoneStarSwirl]

SAME!!! 🇺🇸☝🏻☝🏼☝🏽☝🏾☝🏿🇺🇸

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you very much Josh!

[@9118justme]

Aside from the amazing adventures, I hope the young men realize how fortunate they are to have access to men with the experience and skill sets that are there. At 30 years old I am and forever will be jealous.

[@crescentmoon256]

you will never be there, you either born rich to do these stuff or stay home if you are poor

[@jeremiahblack6471]

I can't believe I just binge watched this entire series without stopping. All I did was search for "off-roading" on KZbin and click the first video. 5 hours later here I am. From the very first shot I was captivated and stayed as such until the very end. The storytelling, cinematography, landscapes and camaraderie really ties together to form a masterpiece. Y'all got such an eye for drone work, its inspiring. Im curious what model you fly with? And the balls it takes to get those shots with planes and helicopters flying around really shows the level of skills by the pilots involved. Super stoked to discover this page and hopefully catch up on some of the other adventures. Cheers

[@thethreehulls]

We love Tanner's personal achievement being acknowledged in the credits. DSH

[@ExpeditionOverland]

🤣

[@chrismaldonado3501]

This series is an absolute masterpiece, like Dr. Jon masterfully states, our lives are an hour glass and live everyday as though tomorrow is not guaranteed. Clay, best series yet. Some of the finest content out there period. Well done Gentlemen, continue with these inspiring adventures

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you!

[@TheDakdoc]

hey, thanks for the nice comment! Dr. Jon.

[@albertojoseyanespantin2803]

I would love to see a series or playlist of first aid/medical advice with Dr. Jon, what a likeable and knowledgeable guy. Outstanding production, as always.

[@jasonsnider5909]

I really enjoyed this version of the series ending. Was awesome to hear Clay give some behind the scenes info during the live stream on how hard it was to choose an ending. “Amen” was the best!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Couldn't agree more!

[@kjhaglfjhgfasd]

No better adventure series on KZbin. Learning medical things. Seeing sights. Living vicariously through your team. Love it.

[@TheDakdoc]

Learning is always great! Thanks for watching:-)

[@adamtacheira5323]

Clay, I don’t know how you do it, your narration is perfect. Not too much or too little. Always a good description of what’s going on and explaining anything that may be technical. It is just a joy to watch.

[@dashady187]

Your video series is one of the main reasons I got into overlanding. Bought a Tacoma and began the process of dialing it in with the gear that I wanted. 3 years later I've been to some cool places. I started to journal while on these trips thanks to Clay. Here's a sample from one of the more memorable times I spent alone. Thank you for the inspiration. "Yesterday evening I found myself skipping rocks across the water at a remote lake in northern Maine. No one else around for miles. Just the sound of the wind and the water gently hitting against the shore. I reached down for the next rock to skip and without meaning to I picked up what I believed to be a Native American arrowhead. I stood there turning it over and over in the palm of my hand. I sat down on the ground right next to where I found it, holding it in my hand I looked out at the water and wondered what the owner of this object was like. How old was he? What did he look like? What was he doing here, and how did the arrowhead end up dropping at this very spot? I wondered if he was feeling victorious in that moment, perhaps gutting and cleaning a deer by the water's edge. Or maybe he was feeling defeated having no luck that day on the hunt, returning home empty handed with winter coming. Was he doing his own form of soul searching? Hell, maybe he was just skipping rocks. I sat there for a long time, wind blowing against my face, sun setting, taking some sort of unusual comfort in knowing the insignificance of my life. The wind will keep blowing in the trees and the water will keep hitting against the shoreline. The scene that I was observing will play out time and time again whether that Native American or myself are there to see it. Lately I have found comfort in the simplicity of nature. As complex as it is with so many moving parts, there is an honesty in the brutality of it all. The coyote does not hide or mask its intentions from the rabbit, and the rabbit does not have to wonder if the coyote is going to try and eat it. It just knows. I tucked the arrowhead back into the rocks where I found it. I felt if I were to have kept it, it would have somehow cheapened the experience that I just shared with that person from the past. I stood up and started to walk away, looking over my shoulder the arrowhead had vanished, surrounded by the thousands of other similar looking rocks. I wondered when would be the next time someone held it in their hand. When I sat back down at the fire, I remembered a quote that seemed fitting." "It must be a poor life that achieves freedom from fear. So, take measured risks, and get out into wild places, perhaps with an increased appreciation for the fragility of our own time here on earth." - Aldo Leopold

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!

[@dewrimsirine]

youre doing great. Are you still keep doing ?

[@sighermike]

I live near Hatcher pass and i still binge watched this whole thing tonight. What's funny is Alaskans are just as excited about Alaska and those who've only heard of it and always wanted to come. Every year we camp the Alaskan wilderness, we subsistence dip net sockeye, we fish for halibut etc in Seward inn our boat. We live this Alaska lifestyle, but we still love to watch others experience it too.

[@renegadearms]

Everytime I watch one of these it makes me miss Alaska, I lived there for 7 years and we had so many great adventures, it’s my favorite place I’ve been to in the World, if you’ve never been put it in your bucket list. At least for me once you get bit by Alaska it never leaves you.

[@guitartar09]

Amazing Grace by Dr. Jon is really beautiful!

[@lindakoon8694]

I've watched this Alaska series and loved every minute. To bring so much joy to so many through your trip is wonderful. I'm a 75 years old. Loved it and recommended to all my friends. Award winning!!!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Wow! Thank you very much!

[@incrideableindia5303]

One of the very few...or maybe the only travel related documentary that actually brought me tears- the boats in the water with the serene landscape and the forever standing snowcaps in the backdrop- emotions overwhelmed!!!

[@historicalmarkers]

This whole series I just kept thinking how badly I want to do this with my 15 yr old boy. He too is learning to drive right now and learning what it means to be a man. Thanks for your example Clay, and for this remarkable series. Love it!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you very much!

[@yakoobjunior9631]

This trip to Alaska will surely be lodged into your fond memories forever. Beautifully done mates 👍🏼👍🏼

[@seesantos]

I was laughing when Jon is trying to catch a fish and well, disaster strikes! Full waders, fish hook stuck...a little Jack Daniels for Clay! Priceless!

[@popeyerubi1981]

I didn’t want this series to end!!! Please! I hope the next trip will come sooner. 🙏

[@OneOfManyStewarts]

Easily the most enjoyable show I’ve watched in while. Alaska has been on my bucket list for a long time, this makes me want to get there even more.

[@V4NLIFE_CANADA]

39:35 this hits me hard as I’m realizing I’m the only one of my childhood friends left. I’m only 33 but Melvin, Tobias and Alex never made it that far. So I bought a van 3 years ago and still building it. But while building I’m still going on small adventures! Rest In Peace boys! Thanks for those videos XOverland

[@MegaRetr]

Clay, another awesome series for Team Overland and you.

[@asimrc]

I hope you show how the boys get back home from Alaska. Trip back home is as important as the journey.

[@vladventura8638]

Amaizing trip, I watch all episodes and I'm blown away. So many people focus on the city life they actually forgot what does it mean to go out in nature. Thanks guys and I'm looking forward to come to Alaska.

[@stephenfowler9509]

Amazing series! I have followed your adventures for awhile. I started sharing them with my wife so that we could plan our own adventures together. Sadly she passed away suddenly to leukemia and we never got to do them. I am finally able to look at planning some for me to do with her spirit. She loved road trips and just traveling. I so miss that . Thank you for continuing to inspire the adventurer in all of us.

[@jarnolehtinen2269]

The only series that I’ve binge watched more than 2 episodes at a time and did all 5 at one go. Felt like I was there with you guys. Awesome.

[@c.h.9193]

You and your team have done it again. Every Adventure, Every Expedition, Every Production You produce and share with Us is so amazing. Through the years, with you, each and every time we learn so much. You set examples for us all on how to work as a team. How to learn as a team. How to work through the problems that arise. Your skills are great, your knowledge is great, but even more, Your Heart is Great. The Love You have for what you show to us is amazing. We have had the joy, no, the pleasure of being with you on each adventure. As you said tonight, we have seen you grow. Each Expedition surpasses the previous Adventure. Whether Scenery, Skills, or Camaraderie between You and Your Team...The Joy You have given to us all, We Thank You. As always, we can hardly wait to see what comes next. Each is such a tough act to follow! While we wait...Thank God for ReRuns! God Bless You All & again, Thank You. Cathleen (keyword...Amazing:)

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Wow! Thank you so much for your encouragement! We will keep at it and we are excited for our next adventure!

[@OverlanderVenezuela]

I've just finished and I'll have to applause you guys for this production. It was a journey of emotions for me seen all the beauty in nature, the views, the challenges and thriumps. A unique journey by far!!! My favorite thing is this...you guys make this a great audiovisual piece of art. The editing, the shooting, the frames, color and of course music are just fantastic. I've been a fan since the early times....and also, became an overlander because of your inspiration and Story. So....thanks for never letting the human spirit die. Your inspirations and style are needed during this hard times. I hope...one day we meet. BEst regards!!!!

[@jaydub5515]

Finally watched this last episode. As a lifelong Alaskan, living in Wasilla, I can truly say I love seeing non-locals thoroughly enjoying themselves fully immersing themselves in what our state has to offer. Bad luck on the fishing though. The last few years have been pretty rough for South Central salmon runs, but at least Willow Creek was showing some life. Willow, little Willow, and the Susitna rivers are my go to fishing and floating spots, and they're all within 50 miles of me.

[@jkandkiminthecamper]

What an amazing series! Wow! So fun to see all of you interact together, seeing a different side to the Van Stralen guys, and the fun fishing rivalry. Not to mention amazing scenery and epic storytelling. Bravo! Didn’t want this series to end!

[@kalennnemoto5335]

As an advid outdoorsman myself, my interest in overlanding is just in it’s infancy as I am currently considering buying a TRD Off-Road for my son, who also has his learners permit, and will turn 16 this April. I just recently discovered this channel and all I can say is wow…just wow. The simplicity of the way the story is told and the cinematography of this series is just phenomenal. Absolutely held my attention throughout and really connected. At times during this series, I found myself with a small tear in my eye, knowing that same feeling of shared experiences and adventures with my son in the outdoors. I also recognize the amount of planning, time, and money that it must’ve taken for such an adventure…so from one outdoorsman to another, thank you for sharing and taking us on the adventure with you! Please keep the adventures coming!!!

[@TangoFighter]

This clearly deserves an award. Best thing I've watched in a long time.

[@mannyrosas7082]

“Be all there” best quote. And makes 100 percent sense. 💪🏻

[@razh260]

Wow, that was amazing! I'm from London and you guys have definitely inspired me to explore more on 4 wheels... I would love to replicate what you guys did and explore Alaska with my pals. Top work! Added to the bucket list for sure!

[@adilashfaq3268]

This is the best use of drone camera's, boats and manpower. Thank you guys for giving us such an amazing series to watch 😍

[@Swat32898]

Just bought a 4runner off road and fell upon this series. I'm an outdoorsman as well but I got to tell you...this series was phenomenal in every sense! Definitely an inspiration. Your young guys reminds me of some awesome adventures similar to mine back in the boyscouts such as backpacking Yellowstone and hiking the grand canyon which, like you said, leaves a lasting memory on you. Its awesome you were able go get them involved. Alaska looks absolutely beautiful and maybe one day I'll be able to be visit.

[@ifish5409]

Stunned by how good this series was. Amazing videography, editing and all the cast did a great job. Good balance of adventure, humor and humility. Was intrigued by the reading material and would love me to hear about the entire library you brought.

[@kellenmedia774]

Your videos are truly some of the only videos on KZbin that really wow me. It’s tv show level stuff here!

[@4570husker]

Alaska is an awesome place to live I'm lucky enough to call it home. Adventure is around every coroner up here. This is for sure one of the best series you guys have down.

[@theVUmaster23]

Best episode in a long while. Gotta love Dr. Jon

[@FEDERAL677]

The storytelling , cinematics ahhhh these give me chills 🥶🥶

[@jamesbrownjr9602]

Well done, gentleman. If this series doesn't stir your soul, you don't have one.

[@itsthenortherners]

I mean c,mon how are you ever going to top this series................. but i know you will,loved watching them all. Great cinematography and story.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Standing ovation for XO once again, an inspirational, awe inspiring production that has yet again been raised the bar to another level. Great job everyone.

[@ninez5740]

Superb narration on Dr. Jon and the fly fishing community.

[@SonnyYF0070]

I have been watching your videos for years and I couldn’t tell you in words, what an inspiration you guys are. Bravo & Salud

[@iupsig97]

Excellent series! Everyone needs a Dr. Jon on their trip.

[@ALongLongWaytoGO]

For Dr. John….You talking about sand and hourglasses hit me hard. In a good way…it was just a reminder that we can not waste time dreaming of something someday. We have to Live life today…Tomorrow never gets here. September 2020 my sand almost ran out. I suffered two brain aneurysms and 1 month later I walked out of ICU on my own. Determined more than ever I would waste no more time dreaming. Those that have there health have a 1000 dreams. Those that don’t only have 1. We have not wasted another day since. Every amount of time we can, is spent behind the wheel of our Jeep, somewhere in the wilderness. Thank you guys.

[@WesleyEast-RRfan]

Great production. Jaw dropping cinematography. May Lord God bless you and protect you in your overland expeditions.

[@LoneStarSwirl]

Cyrus is DA MAN! I have 2 sons ages 11 & 12 and it is so spectacular watching them grow into young men! Dr. John is hilariously entertaining! 🤣😂🤣😂. Hey Peter, I know where your 2nd boot was. “Wherever you are, be all there”; I love it! Chelsea & I, God willing of course, have already started planning a Summer of 2023 Alaska adventure and this series had A LOT to do with it. THANK YOU!!!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

That's amazing! You will have an amazing trip. Thank you so much for watching and your encouragement!

[@XplorAfrica]

This was absolutely brilliant. The best I have ever seen on KZbin. Your sponsors must be VERY glad they helped sponsor this series. If I could like this 100 times I would.

[@8bitflea]

These guys are on a next level when it comes to production.

[@Adya_shan]

This is by far the best expedition overland I've ever seen in my life. I am really grateful. Keep doing that stuff more often!!!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you! There is more to come!

[@jdougn2255]

And Tanner was credited with the longest fish in the credits! Awesome

[@rxreyn3]

Brings a tear to the eye. Motivates. Thank you.

[@pinngu1135]

First of all this is one of the best series I have watched on yt, the picture quality and cinematic techniques incredible to say the least. Second off having just come home from a trip in Iceland and after going super keeping there, I think I would be really cool if you guys came to Iceland for a expedition especially in winter. The nature and scenery is just incredible and I think I would be a good snow expedition if you made the trucks with bigger tires (40 to 46in is what they use here) and camped on a glacier, and what not

[@jdougn2255]

Watching these guys on adventure in Iceland would be awesome!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Stay tuned😉

[@electricstartclint]

This series has given me a jolt to get back to the middle of nowhere. Great series. Looked like a blast.

[@nligman]

This is simply fantastic! This whole series is great, but for some reason I particularly enjoyed this episode. I too hope that there is extra credit on the drivers permit for a serious water crossing. He did a great job!

[@dhiyaam16]

That "largest fish by" in the credit makes me laugh 😂 Great adventure, glad to know that you guys exist 🔥🔥🔥

[@irishdefense77]

Thanks so much for bringing us along-this series has been absolutely awesome,and I felt like I was there!Maybe show some more cooking in the next one-we all love to see this!

[@kylethedarkness]

Phenomenal... I wanted to go to Alaska before I watched this, but this trip stirs something in my heart. Thanks for this video series. Very well done. Amazing.

[@prettydangoodadventures]

Witnessed the most amazing series of overlanding... Hats off to everyone... Makes me feel like I know all of you guys... Thank you for this.

[@mikeyX11B2P]

Wow! What an amazing series! Thank everyone for sharing this experience.

[@switchrousseau4992]

Tears of joy rolling down my checks. Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure. Very inspiring and gets me very emotional.

[@TBland-ir8kl]

What a beautiful ending to a great trip. Cyrus isn't even my son and I'm proud and happy for him and what he's experienced. It was absolutely a joy to see Pete and Dan in a new element outside of EFRT. From the great cookie fight to the brother rivary. The laughs and smiles were "epic". A good chance for people to see their humorous side. Clay, what can say? Another great team! I'm a documentary fan, so I love these series. Thanks for sharing this with us. - Whitebeard and TK

[@luisacosta4393]

Get out of the military in two months. Super excited to start overlanding with my family and create awesome memories. This channel inspires me!

[@h8heightadventure2]

I can’t wait for a bonus of this series !!! It can’t be the last episode 🥺🥺🥺 We wish you all the best for the future !!!

[@garyng5662]

The Doc is just awesome. All of you seem like great people but Dr. J is a personal favorite.

[@wattanapoboonrueng8801]

Loving this series. You guys keep getting better and better. Thank you for sharing this journey and showing us the beauty of life.

[@bluelineoffroad]

Absolutely incredible! Many trips are made with the objective of getting to a new camping location every day, but staying in the same place occasionally is truly enjoyable. The scene with the embedded fish hook, although painful for Dr. John, was one of the most entertaining sections of the film. You guys have really inspired alot of people to take on their own adventures, and to explore areas which they would have never otherwise visited. Thank you!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you so much!

[@tatefinity]

I don't think I could ever ask for more inspiring expedition, good job .

[@darrylbragg4907]

What a story!!!! Really enjoyed that, thank you! To go with the guys is amazing... to go with your son... a life time fulfilled. Made this old Marine that has a 9 year old son get a little choked up!

[@sirfunnyshoes]

I'd have to say Clay this is got to be my favorite series so far watching your boy grow into a young man with his first solo River Crossing is something special I'm sure you're proud dad right now

[@MarcusEliasson]

This series has really opened ny eyes for overlanding. Something I have never been thinking of before. Will be starting my build on my Ram 1500 soon enough 👏

[@jeffcarmicheal3512]

The beauty leaves me speechless...

[@riveroverland]

Love it! Getting out there and experiencing life is what it's all about.

[@chuckc6515]

Absolutely amazing series, I will probably rewatch it 10 times. Never stop going on expeditions and never stop making series like this! You guys are awesome, truly professional stuff.

[@jayparker8211]

39:45 Dr. John got me with that one. You guys always inspire me, every time. Absolutely the best channel out there. Keep it coming!

[@johnniesummers5823]

That was a great last day in the largest place on earth. I love Alaska and one day soon I'll be there permanently. I'm a fisherman myself loved it every time Tanner and The Doc where out trying to catch one. I hope all of you enjoyed every minute of this trip. God Bless.

[@tharinduranasinghe9216]

Best offroad camping i ever watched Thank you guys and kudos to next time

[@deuce9624]

Your storing telling, camera work, and final product is as good or better than any show on tv anywhere

[@davidencinas86]

Thank you all so much for making this. What an awesome series.

[@Overland4All001]

Amazing just AMAZING !! You may have carved this adventure into your hearts and minds ... but you sure did something bigger ... you managed to also carve all the emotions and details into ours too !! Congratulations, It's not easy to find an adult saying "this is one of the best days of my life ..." ... I think that says it all, and we felt it !! AWESOME !!! YOU ROCK , you really do !!! Cheers with a big smile !!!

[@JeffC1]

As good as it gets. Thanks Clay and crew for yet another EPIC adventure. I've ridden Alaska on BMW's but cannot wait to do it in my Land Cruiser. I could only be so lucky to do it ith a crew like that as well as my son. Thnaks for the motivation!!

[@randallmorse1263]

Simply gets better and better! I could watch these for hours and the stories, locations and production just improve each episode. Fantastic!

[@cjsantossssss]

Thank you so much guys, you inspired me to be better, I will cherish all the advises in life I finished all the episodes. Greetings from the Philippines - Ian 29yrs old.

[@carpathianexplorers]

What an incredible expedition! You experienced everything you can wish for in an overlanding trip, and thanks to your great experience in film making and story telling, we felt like we were there with you! This is an inspiration to all of us out there!

[@JorgeVargas-rf9pw]

Man that ending gave me the chills and inspiration to chase some adventure 🔥

[@andrewwilliams864]

Wow guys absolutely awesome, greetings from England! So I’m a good way into binge watching every episode you’ve put out. Africa was amazing, Scandinavia too! In 2 weeks I set off on my own road trip across to Ireland and then the West coast of Scotland including the NC500. I’m pretty certain I’ll do around 3000 miles in my 4 weeks on the trip. This is my first trip in my newly kitted out Nissan Navara you guys call it the frontier.I’m planning the Faroe Islands for my second ever overland trip next year! The ideas and tips that you have given me will prove valuable as I travel alone on my trip! Thanks for making such amazing content and I look forward to watching the rest whilst I’m on my trip!

[@onlysmiles3419]

I've binged watched this whole series this afternoon!! Absolutely fantastic. How incredibly inspirational all the crew was!! Great words of wisdom from everyone about chasing and acting on those dreams and seeking out those adventures! Thank you!

[@Zitoline1]

I love it! Really great, great format, fabulous landscape, cool and very likeable people. Thank you for participating! Good luck to you all of you! BW from Germany

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you so much!

[@johnfrothingham4015]

BRAVO!! To you all. This was such a fantastic series. You all were a great team together working, learning, experiencing all that you could of Alaska. Hats off to you all for providing such a remarkably entertaining and educational experience to those of us who were along for the ride. Thank you .

[@shimpaylong2330]

This is my first time watching this channel and its all worth it man

[@ChasingYourAdventure]

Absolute FANTASTIC series. Being young my self, I envy the opportunity those guys got to experience Alaska in true overland fashion. I will have to make it back up there to do the same one day. Keep on keeping it real XOverland!

[@chougleasif]

Watched so many adventure series on youtube. Yours is the best. Total Epicness ✌

[@roamtim]

This is a great series, back to the original adventure vibe of XO. Great crew, great trucks, great destinations, amazing series!

[@docwilson8343]

Thank You!! I loved this series.

[@josephduenas4718]

The fishing was probably the best side mission irl that I got to witness 🤣🙌🏽

[@stevestott1514]

What a spectacular journey this set of videos has shown us , and the story of it is well worthy of watching more than once . ( I know I will ) . Thanks again for sharing your wonderful travel memories with us your over landing friends . Thanks for a aspiring set of videos . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. 😁🍻👍🏼
