Family Expedition to the Arctic: New Beginnings, The Alaskan Highway, Wildlife & Epic Scenery

Join our family of four in this multi-part series as we head North to the Arctic and Alaska! We are back in Macho, our DIY expedition box truck vehicle, and we've got something to prove after a year long of frusterations with the truck. In this first episode, we follow the Alaskan Highway from the start mile 0 in Dawson Creek, BC to Whitehorse, Yukon. We find some amazing wildlife, scenery, and some unexpected hidden gems along the way that are a must stop for any traveller!

I too remember when the boys were small. Times flies so fast, glad you are doing this w/the boys! We also have 2 boys, the 1st was born on my husband's birthday, our 2nd son was born on mine, believe it or not. When the boys were small they thought every kid had a B-day w/their parents. So we celebrated only 2 days a yr. So happy for your family as you are enjoying this milestone trip. Dreams can come true! Happy to see you back on w/this new video. I never forgot you guys! Safe travels!

[@OverlandUncharted]

That's so crazy!! What are the odds, haha! Thank you so much for your kind words, appreciate the support!

[@estelleadamski308]

@@OverlandUncharted Even weirder when the boys were 13 & 9 we adopted a 5 wk. old baby girl from Peru. She was born on our wedding anniversary! The odds of that are astronomical!

[@overthehillandoverthemount2925]

That whole area is amazing. It’s a trip of a lifetime.

[@OverlandUncharted]

No kidding! So much to see and do, all summer and we still didn’t get to it all!

This is gorgeous

[@OverlandUncharted]

Appreciate that brother!!

[@Hayesville-Happy-Feet]

Great aerial footage that shows how wild & remote you were. June is bad for mosquitoes that far north. It would be great to find a scent mosquitoes hate. You went into the wild this summer. Great video.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you! The mosquitos persisted ALL summer! up to the day we left in Sep! Appreciate the support :)

[@jaystewart9947]

Hello there! We were hoping you guys would check back in before long. It’s been a while since the truck conversion at the ABNB in Arizona, I think. Wow! Beautiful country up there. I’ve always thought that the northern Rockies were so majestic and a view of what’s so great to come as you travel NNW. We only made it as far as Banff, Alberta. We’d love to make the journey you guys are on. Thanks for sharing yours! Safe travels out there.

[@OverlandUncharted]

Thank you!

[@joshthomas6410]

My wife and I drove to Alaska pulling a tent trailer almost 30 years a go. Their was about 2000 miles of shale and gravel at this time. Our 1st stop was just outside of FT.ST John . It was so late I did not want to set up my tent trailer as well iy was raining so we slept in the car. We woke up with hundreds of mosquitos' in our car, I rolled down the windows and took off down the highway only to find that the semis during the night gad cut a deep rut un the road. For several miles I had to floor it as I was plowing through these ruts and until finally hit shale It was about that time the highways dept. blocked us as they were blowing sections of the road up, This is where I dot most of my flat tires om my trailer. I was zooming a long the highway when aroud Crooked Creek Yukon I hit a wahed out bridge and my tent trailer bounced in the air and broke Leaf Spring and forced mu car into the ditch Some locals came by and himmued up the trailer and towed me out of the ditch, I drive slow till I got to Warson Lake Yukon but it was a Sunday su I had to wait till monday to fix the trailer, We rented a room ar rge only Motel they had. Their was more mosquitos than outside. We finally left and I had to gas up a place called Distruction Bau Yukon. The guy at the pump told me it has been raining for 32 days straight nd the price of his gas al depends... Next stop Whitehorse, Roads were getting better and I was tired, Set up the tent trailer for the 1sr time and found all the hples that had come through from the gravel off the highway. I tried to sleep but at midnight it wss still daylight, The longest day of the year !!!!!!!!!! We headench d off and webt through Beaver Creek Crosdong USA . The highways were way better but they had hufge Frost heaves so you couldn;t go fase. I finally made it to my Aunr's place in Homer Alaska, It ws worth the trip. You don't want to know about the vsck

[@OverlandUncharted]

Wow what an experience! Kudos to you for keeping on keepin on! I don’t know if I would have had it in me to continue on. Now you have a crazy story and lots of memories! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for watching our little family adventures!
