Choices in life make such a huge difference!!! Timmy your choice has enabled people all around our planet to enjoy life through your eyes. I am 73 and I have visited Alaska many times. You have helped keep me in touch with a part of my life I miss terribly! Thank you so much!! I drove the entire trip before cell phones as a single person traveling by myself! I didn’t listen to the radio. I listened to the “Voice” inside my heart, it totally changed my life!!! I always pray for you to stay safe, stay healthy and may the “Peace” we receive guide you and sustain you in the rough spots!! Godspeed my friend!! Thank you!🙏

Hey Tim! I’m a 38 year old black male born and raised in the Bay Area, Oakland/ San Francisco California that’s never been camping. I don’t do outdoors, I’m a city slicker… With that being said I am living the truck life through you… This might be my favorite channel. My lady friends think I’m crazy for watching your episodes. I stumbled across an episode and been hooked ever since. It’s very entertaining, thank you for the content.

Tim, here’s the thing about idling a diesel overnight: raise your idle rate by a few hundred RPM. Not excessively high, but 750-800 RPM. Prevents wet-stacking/washing liners/cylinders. Better to spend $45 to idle than to be stuck like Chuck with a gelled-up truck. Power Service or Howe’s fuel treatment only works so far…this comes from 25 years and 2M miles+ of trucking experience, mostly transporting petroleum products…

@@TruckHouseLife , hi Tim I always enjoy the videos! ^_^ Idk the details on your truck but I assumed it could be some variant of a 1997 F350 4x4. I found one place online "Radiator Express" has a "30.5 gallon tank" that fits a "1997 FORD F-350 SUPER CAB - 7.5 liter V8 460CID FUEL TANK 30.5 GALLON VERSION ONLY." Idk if that works with your truck, Idk if you have a 6.9, 7.3 or 7.5.... There is another place called "Classic Diesel Designs" that offers a "38 GALLON REAR TANK CONVERSION KIT FOR 1983-1997 6.9 & 7.3 F250/F350 TRUCKS. This is a direct fit for all 1983-1997 F250, F350 factory diesel trucks." So just going to their site and "Search All Products - Fuel tank" and it comes up.

I do go some distance every day with nothing but the whistle of the turbo and the rumble of the CAT C15 which sounds phenomenal. Lots of time to think and reflect all day every day. It can get lonely I suppose but I would not have it any other way. Love your channel my guy.

As a Mexican, I’m proud that you actually slightly toasted the tortilla over a tad of oil. I see many non-Mexicans just grab the cold tortilla and add stuff, yikes. While it was not al pastor or carne asada tacos, ground beef is cool. We call it picadillo. Your tacos looked great and yummy. If you want to take your ground beef taco to the next level, add some Mexican chorizo as well. You can also cut little potatoes cubes and sauté them on the skillet until golden brown. Mix all those three ingredients up. So next time, have tacos with ground beef, chorizo, and potatoes. Mince onions and cilantro. Touch of lime. And of course salsa. Killer stuff! Great video as always!

@@JellyBeansMystreyMachine Sour cream is used in Mexican cuisine on hard shell tacos, tostadas, flautas, sopes, stuff like that. It’s also used in burritos and enchiladas too. It’s definitely used in various Mexican foods. Mexican sour cream is thinner and has a slight lime add on as ingredient, so it’s easier to pour over your stuff. Another type of sour cream Mexicans use is called jocoque, which is influenced by the one million Lebanese who migrated and stayed in Mexico. Having said that, sour cream is usually not added on Mexican soft street tacos, they will look at you funny if you do, lol. Sour cream is usually a no-no on soft street tacos like al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, birria, cochinita pibil, suadero, lengua, lomo, chorizos, cesos, etc. The exception are Baja fish tacos, as they are battered fried fish, and locals do add sour cream or even mayo on them. Baja fish tacos are also famous for having shredded cabbage or lettuce. But there are no rules. You can add sour cream on anything, it’s your palate. I do like sour cream on hard shell tacos, tostadas, and flautas…but my preference is no sour cream on soft street tacos. Keep enjoying your tacos! 😁👍

You ruin your life by tolerating it. At the end of the day you should be excited to be alive. When you settle for anything less than what you innately desire, you destroy the possibility that lives inside of you, and in that way you cheat both yourself and the world of your potential. The next Michelangelo could be sitting behind a Macbook right now writing an invoice for paperclips, because it pays the bills, or because it is comfortable, or because he can tolerate it. Do not let this happen to you. Do not ruin your life this way. Life and work, and life and love, are not irrespective of each other. They are intrinsically linked. We have to strive to do extraordinary work, we have to strive to find extraordinary love. Only then will we tap into an extraordinarily blissful life. ~Bianca Sparacino

It makes me so anxious watching some of them but I cant turn it off. What really stood out in this one, and made me comment, was when you were suprised those people recognised you and valued what you do. I wonder what those kids at school who bullied you are doing, I wonder if any of them are watching you now as you take so many people on your journeys. Stand tall, you are brave and amazing.

I’m a 60 year old guy and my wife died 3 years ago (that’s life). Three months after she died I embarked on a 37 day road trip from Kansas City to the east coast, then south to Key West and eventually made it back home. It was such a therapeutic journey of learning my new life and thinking. Lots of thinking and driving alone for 37 days and 5900 miles was the perfect time and place to think. I usually listen to mellow reggae music when I drive and think. Ps…. Camped in my tent 27 nights in several cool places along the way. PSs….if I were ever young again, I would want to live my life just like you! Rock on young man!!

I’m also a 70 year old guy watching your adventures, I still whitewater raft and surf. I’m surprised your drone doesn’t freeze in those temps, awesome footage with the “bird”. I got out of college in the mid 70’s and there weren’t many jobs around , there were recruiters down here in the lower 48 hiring guys to work on that pipeline. , cool to see the finished product. Thanks as always 🎅

Have you ever thought about getting a small APU to generate power at night? You could hook up engine block heaters to keep the engine from freezing, and probably use less fuel.

I'm a 62 yr old nomad for only 3 yrs and I LOVE IT! I'm in a E150 Ford 1991 van. I love long distance drives and I don't have a radio in my van but I have a bose in the back in my living/sleeping quarters. I have two toy terriers also. It's awesome. I love your little cabin on wheels. That is a great job. I can't believe you've been on youtube for so long and I'm just not finding your channel. I only follow a handful of people, I get so many ideas from you all. Thank you for the trip to AK. It is beautiful but I hate ICE so I won't be in AK during winter! I'm always wanting to learn. Thank you and peace and joy and safe travels through out your journey. Sorry about your bird. Losing our pets is horrible! It took me a decade to be able to have another dog after losing my wolf! God bless you!

Hi Tim! I found that driving with the music off during long drives helps me focus. Oftentimes I would get what I’m pretty sure is highway hypnosis, and kind of zone out or start to nod off. Shutting the music off helps be more aware of my surroundings and that way I can also listen for any issues going on with my vehicle, especially in bad weather conditions.

Another great thing to wake up to is the flat spots in your tires, not out of air tires. When it gets really cold like below -40 your tires can freeze and you have a flat spot on them for the first few miles. Lived up near Fairbanks for a couple years, loved it!

There's a 38 gallon rear fuel tank for a bronco of similar year that will bolt right in to your truck. I did the conversion and now get 54 gallons on a fill up. You will have to extend the fuel pickup and return in the tank which is not too hard. Well worth it!

These videos are awesome! I have a couple of recommendations over the truck running at night. 1- Remote start or remote ignition switch inside the camper. Maybe let it sit 1hr, then run 1hr or whatever. 2- maybe a 2nd diesel heater under the truck with a canopy/curtain that would seal from the bottom of the truck to the ground. In theory it should keep everything warm and use far less fuel than idling the engine

I had friends who worked on the pipeline. I am 77. She was the principal of a school and they were expecting their first baby. I have never been to Alaska but my kids and grandkids have. It has been a treat for me to see the pipeline and where they were. They were all killed by a drunk driver and I didn’t find out for months because there was no internet or home computers so when her mother went through their things she found letters I had written to them. I have lived at the foot of the Rockies and driven in Blizzards in the mountains many times so this is taking me back. Just not that 🥶 cold. You do such good tours. You are like going with a friend without drama. The scripted/reality shows seem to like drama, like ice road truckers.
