From the Border to the Top. A Trip to the Top of Canada Begins. Destination Adventure

[@metaxaanabeer]

Dustin, my wife of almost 50 years and I have done this trip three times. Cassiar-Tuk twice and length of Alcan-Tuk once. I am under orders, we will not be doing it again, but let me tell you I will be with you all the way. Let the Journey be as important as the Destination.

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you very much. I’m stoked to finally be able to cross this one off the list.

[@metaxaanabeer]

@@Destination_Adventure You referred to it as an expedition, it sure is closer to that than a camping road trip. Almost anywhere, stop and safely park and walk away from the road, over the rise and just sit in silence and marvel at the vastness. Look out for any dark dots making their way towards you, those would be bears. Spend your money, your 20 bucks makes a real difference in the villages you will pass through. God, I wish I was allowed to return, lol. Not many 70 year old women want to endure the trip. sorry, I prattle on...

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

It's definitely the journey that makes it worth it!❤

[@cherylmosher6026]

I can hardly wait. This is my dream drive! ❤

[@montyforster3370]

Boat launch. From there you launch and run out to the point and around back in to Quauccet ....spelling wrong...and let the adventure begin. The village is fly in boat in only and when gramma taight up there in the 60s we would hear the stories of the wild and crazy bush pilots that would deliver her. Fascinating history and also of one seal pup adopted there. Good luck and Bon Voyage pal

[@lylegang4949]

Passed you guys this morning in Mcleese Lk. I was yelling there’s Dustin, there’s Dustin! My wife was like who?? Destination Adventure KZbin guy don’tcha know!!? Oh cool she says. Welcome Emmy! Safe travels and can’t wait for the next episode.

[@Destination_Adventure]

Cheers amigo 🍻 😊

[@normajefferson3977]

Welcome Emme. So glad you have joined Dustin. He is a great guy,but you already know that. Happy travels

[@___emi]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that ☺️✨

[@TalentlessCooking]

I'm an electrician, when you go through a wall, especially a metal one, you want to use a plastic or rubber gromit to keep from rubbing. A metal pass through tube is also a good solution, silicone isn't enough to keep it from wearing through the insulation of the wire.

[@havnfncali1]

I wanted to say the same thing. Needs rubber pass through bushings. The first trip will rub right through that wiring and hopefully pop a fuse is the best outcome.

[@Boga217]

Yeppers, thankfully it's a fused 12v extension

[@michaelbranham5854]

I was late lol,

[@tommymonzon5824]

I’ve ridden my motorcycle to Alaska. Great ride Now, I look forward to the two of you on a great drive.

Happy to see Emmy back and ready for a great adventure with you. Safe travels and always waiting to see what you have to show us

Man, I always get good Feels when I watch your videos. You’re doing something right!!!!

[@Destination_Adventure]

Happy to hear it😊

[@AbandonedMaryland]

As a person who watches a lot of KZbin and does some KZbin, this is the only channel that I wait for videos to drop. Thank you Dustin keep up the great work.

[@Destination_Adventure]

I appreciate that, thank you. 😊

Saturday morning routine: Coffee and Destination Adventure. Dustin, your gift for storytelling and cinematography is remarkable. Have a great adventure travelling north! You rock!

[@Destination_Adventure]

Thank you very much.

[@thebreadedcrab4252]

I love how these videos bring the mood up tenfold. Whether I'm already in a good mood or I'm struggling with myself internally. These kind of videos and Adventures just make me want to go out and do my own. Keep up the amazing videos❤

[@hike2]

Welcome Emi! Just glad Justin has someone to share the journey with.

[@___emi]

Thank you very much. ☺️

[@michaelbranham5854]

I would recommend a hard plastic line protector for the hole through that sheet metal to keep the wires for the freezer from rubbing a short.

[@bcpioneer59]

Welcome Emmy/Emy/Emmie ( not sure of the spelling 😁) I hope you enjoy your wilderness travel on our west coast and north. You have a great guide and looking forward to seeing your adventures and your reactions to our back country

[@___emi]

I’m very excited for this adventure with him! Thank you very much ☺️🙏✨

[@verao81]

Welcome Emmy glad she's going on this adventure

[@bradcalberry2223]

Love this show you've put together! Absolutely love it!! Just wanted to send out a friendly jesture in regards to you wiring in your freezer. You may want to consider some rubber grommets when you're going threw the aluminium sheet metal. Your adventures can be bumpy at times, and those wires will rub on the metal, eventually arking out - failing. Thus failing your freezer and any food in it. Happy and safe trails and i look forward to your adventures to " Tuk " this season!!

[@salliannebrown8129]

This is going to be great to watch. Safe travels and Welcome Emmy!!

[@___emi]

Thank you very much 🙏☺️

[@chuck_machine]

Dustin, I know you've already completed this project, but where you pass the wires through the wall of the cabinet, you should really put a grommet. Those wires will chaff if they are directly on metal.

[@CCRP100]

Hi Dustin, we are driving the Dempster this June- just watching the fires unfortunately take off again in the north! Stay safe. All the best to you. We look forward to your next brilliant outstanding contribution to travel videos! See you in Tuk! Happy trails💕 cc

Another year. Can’t wait. This one should be extra exciting

[@nancybeglaw416]

A huge welcome back to Emme!! So excited to see you again.

[@SnoMoJoe1]

Going to the very north of Canada, though country and places you have been to. Having someone to share it with and taking us along with you. This season is going to be INCREDIBLE. Welcome to the adventure, Emmy.

[@___emi]

Thank you very much ☺️🌿

[@bennar921]

Dustin, if your heading up the Alaska highway north of Fort St. John, at mile 171 just north of the sikkani cheif bridge take a left on the “Grassy” rd for 16km then another left for 1.5km to the parking area and hike into the sikkani falls, it’s about a 10 minute hike to get down to them, just don’t go in there if the roads not dry, it gets pretty bad when it’s raining!

[@DouglasDunn-jo6sm]

Spotted ya today in Prince Rupert, awesome to see your rig Dustin, good luck on your trip!

[@NigelFalk]

Dustin nice freezer however you should insulate with bushes the wiring as you go through any metal then will have no trouble and great show have only just found it keep up the great work. Cheers Nigel Australia

[@jayneejones22]

facebook msged you on some new explores. Glad to see Miss Emmee- we really enjoyed your Japan explore with that beautiful girl` this season should be epic, thank you for your amazing content!

[@darylnelson3026]

We did our Honey Moon in1985.We when all the way Inuvik at that time it was the end of the road . Have very good tire as the Dempster Hwy has no gravel .As it was not under ice during the last ice age so there is no gravel up there the crush mostly shale to us on the roads and are like little arrow heads on the road !

[@DAVEG150]

Welcome Emi I hope you guys have a great trip

[@erikwignes7777]

How exciting - a guest! and we all appreciate her.......Also, have you ever see Wignes Lake?

[@Destination_Adventure]

Haven’t even heard of that lake. Must be a secret gem.

[@daydreaming341]

Hi Dustin, Just wanted to thank you for your videos and taking us on all your adventures and inspiring us to seek our own adventures...we re the couple that approached you at mcleese lake...and wanted to thank you for the sticker offer which would have been awesome but we didn't want to intrude in your day out with your friend😊...but still meeting you made our day...we re big fans

[@Destination_Adventure]

Was great to meet you both today, thanks for coming to say hi. 😊. Next time grab a sticker, because I’m always happy to give them out. lol without folks enjoying the show, I don’t get to pursue this passion, so a sticker is the least I can do. ;)

[@jamesevans164]

I can help here, Fridge Freezers: They are not as efficient when partly full. Fold an place inside a clean towel, blanket etc to fill the void. This will save a lot of energy. Jim. Outback Australia.

[@brokendowndog]

Dustin, on your way from Vancouver to Williams Lake, you could also have taken the scenic Sea to Sky through Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, through Mount Curry and joined back onto the Fraser Canyon at Lillooet. I do remember you previously exploring the Gold Bridge area though, so maybe been there done that.

[@Awsom47Merc]

Great drone shots as always Dustin. Good to see Emmy again. Is it just me or did you trim your beard and get a hair cut for her arrival ? Lol ! Sounds like a fun run this season. Looking forward to it. Cheers !👊😎👍

Drawer sliders for the fridge.. build a half drawer so you can put your shelf back in.

[@Destination_Adventure]

Oh this is a great idea. Not gonna happen this season, but I’ll keep it in mind for a refit. 🤘🏻

[@edwardcarberry1095]

I did do my brake bleed with the { single man brake bleeding method }} For me a 2 liter pop jug and very well washed out dried for weeks then to put several inches of brake oil in that way you don't get air coming back in. Do pump lower the oil in the reservoir so to reduce the new oil/ old oil mixing.

[@whooplife9785]

Can not wait for the awesome videos and the new adventures. Welcome, Emmy !!

[@___emi]

Thank you very much ☺️

[@chriso2319]

Didn't read all 500 plus comments, but did anyone else notice there is a car driving backwards down the road at about 45 seconds in to the video. Dustin and his fine editing skills.

[@andreaspopp623]

Hi, I have been to Inuvik some 30 years ago with a VW T2 micro bus on the Dempster Highway and also to Tuktuyuktuk by Beaver (no road at the time :). I was inspied by John Mc Phee's book "Coming into the County", a MUST READ if you like the North. I then crossed the Yukon near Dawson, over the Top of the World highway and down to Eagle/Alaska (mentioned in the book) Saw my first Northern Lights. A great trip in a small van with 50hp :)) Never failed! Greetings, Andreas

[@sharlettedavidson81]

So wonderful to see you and Emmy together again and for a full season. I sure hope that Mick and Emmy have a chance to hang out together. Dustin, keep an eye on Mick, he is a smooth one. 😉 Wishing you both an amazing season. Make lots of new discovery’s together. Safe journey blessings for you both,. As always thank you for bringing me with you and keep Emmy safe Dustin as I know you will ….enjoy you guys….just enjoy….✨🌈🙏🌈✨

[@Destination_Adventure]

Hahaha I’ll have to keep an eye on that guy. Can’t trust him as far as I can throw him.

[@millguygarage4875]

If you use a clear vinyl tube on the bleeder & put 1 loop in it, you can just pump the breaks & be done. The air will not return through the loop. No more pump & hold mess 🤗

[@Stevesbe]

I had the same issue with a dana 60 rear when i moved down to Florida 30 years ago i was stuck on the side of 95 filing the hub race and sticking shims in to get it back on the road thanks to a south Carolina state trooper in a 5.0 mustang taking me to a store

[@donaldfrazier5244]

Cool the last time I made a brake line I forgot to put the fitting on first,just twice as nice on price!

If you haven't before, try out the Nicopp brake line, hard to go back to steel line after that

[@SandraStoyanoff]

Hello Dustin, welcome to Emmy to Canada. What a great adventure your sharing with us all. Ready 😊 let's go.

[@___emi]

I’m very excited for this, thank you very much ☺️🌿

[@SandraStoyanoff]

Sorry, I spelled your name wrong.

[@kathylondon-anthony368]

Envy your lack of rust on the west coast. That truck and brake line specifically would be rust dust here on the east coast. Might suggest wire grommets for your drilled hole for your cooler wire, all rough roads you drive will wear into the wire. Princess auto sells a kit of different sizes.

[@soleilrichard121]

You should go to frizzle hot springs in the skeena river if you haven’t been already amazing spot!!

[@davidbochmann5811]

Two items first you need to put some protection against those wires where they go through the wall the vibration they will cut and short out Secondly, you need to insulate your freezer either a three-quarter or 1 inch foam underneath and either reflect it or foam all around the outside remembering to leave it open where the fan is and then either some foam or a big thick insulated blanket on top. You’ll see a huge difference in the amount of use and power usage if you will insulate it , never when it’s empty even if you put water bottles in it, make sure there’s always something inside of it when it’s turned on

[@montyforster3370]

Dustin i hope i catch you. Had you considered when on the island is to travel to Zebellas and beyond to Fair Harbour where there is a makeshift boat ...continued onward....

[@underscr0e]

2:52 I used that lot about a month back, stalling time for my Niece landing. 😊😅

[@patrickvanden8322]

Dustin, you may want to use a product like Dynamat on the inside of your utility cabinet doors. It will isolate them for the heat coming though and also will dampen the sound the doors make.These tiles are just peel and stick very easy to apply.

[@CJC051]

highway 99 is another good scenic route to try.

[@toddtraficanti4832]

Sorry to your without Mick to help you but you have definitely stepped up your game with your new co-pilot Emme. Congratulations on starting your journey and looking forward to joining the Adventure. I hope to be able to see more of Emme and hear how she is enjoying the journey with you. 👍🏼👍🏼

Visegrips that will crimp off a leaking brake line on route until reaching the repair point comes in handy!

Great episode. The Dempster drive has been on my bucket list since I surveyed it in the 70’s. I was a bush pilot in Inuvik and was involved in the route planning of the highway.

[@Destination_Adventure]

I bet there’s some great stories from that time.

[@travelingtophe]

I'm excited that you have a sidekick for the summer!

[@franklinhayes8673]

Keep your freezer as full as possible and it will not run as much. Once the contents freezes it doesn’t have to work as much, thus it will not use as much power. I hope this helps. Love your channel. I look forward to this adventure to the arctic circle!

Welcome Emi!! Everyone else was spelling it different ways so i thought I would do the way I haven't seen anyone else do. Somebody has to get it right! 😂I'm so happy for you Dustin!!!

glad you have company for this season...which is looking to be an epic adventure....

[@jimg915]

Couple L shaped brackets bolted to floor around freezer and it won’t go anywhere while traveling. Bungee cords work as well I guess lol. Great video and safe travels! Edit: I spoke to soon, you secured the freezer properly. I don’t know why I doubted you 🙂

Stunning

[@DennisJH]

I rode from Vancouver to Inuvik to Anchorage and back on my motorcycle in 2008. The Dempster hwy was the most memorable part of that trip.

[@Bobwa2008]

I’ve travelled the hwy between Hope and Prince George many times and it never gets boring, camping at the Goldpan Provincial Park on the Thompson River near Spences bridge is pretty nice.

[@roblindsey3751]

Just a future tip, but if you need to bleed the brakes without help, a stick or crow bar on the brake and move the seat forward to hold it down.

Hi Dustin, we did the the trip from Alberta last year and enjoyed the Dempster very much. Good luck.

[@michaeljames0204]

Welcome Emmy!! Oooh I am so looking forward to your trip north! I have grown up and lived in the lower mainland for my entire 46 years and have only dreamed of making the trip to Tuk. I will be following along with interest and excitemant as you make your way north. Also just a small recommendation for the power wires running through the aluminum box to your new freezer. It may be a good idea to use a rubber grommet in the hole you drilled to avoid the wires chaffing and potentially shorting, might save a headache down the road.
