It looks so isolated and depressing. Like being on a space colony on a far away planet. And it looks like there was absolutely nothing to do there other then work. What did you guys do during your time off? Were there cheap flights to other cities in Alaska to go and visit? Just curious to know.

[@moosepasshippie]

​@@RemyCT63 The flight from Anchorage or Fairbanks to Deadhorse is provided by the company. It is a charter on a 737 and by far the fastest boarding. 15-20 minutes from opening the door to everyone seated ready to go; all oilfield workers. There are many people working up there that live in the lower 48. One guy I worked with lived in Hati. They have to purchase their own flights to and from Alaska. It seemed like everyone worked 12 hour shifts 7 days a week. The company I worked for they didn't pay travel time to the oil pads, so some days were long. Work schedules range from 6 weeks on 2 off to 2 weeks on 2 off. One summer I did 6 on 1 off. Many times, sometimes weeks at a time I had couple hours of work to perform in a 12 hour day. That made it boring and depressing. Housing, food, transportation is provided. My time off was spent catching up on chores and spending time with my family. There are only a few villages in Alaska not on the road system I would think about traveling to and they flights are sometimes more expensive than flying to Seattle. It was a cool experience working up there for 6 years, but I wanted to be closer to my kids as they grew up.

Parenting a dog without decent training is exhausting it’s entire life. Parenting a well behaved dog is exhausting during the first year and half & then it’s only rewards, with a little work to feed, walk, and get regular checkups. You’re doing a great job. You really need to get him steps or a ramp to walk into the truck on his own.

I became a Dog Dad just before the nation wide lock downs. I have since spent many hours training my pup. We have gone through every class Petsmart offers for dog training and we are repeating one of them starting this week. I can say it has fundamentally changed the way I think about every trip I take. Even the short drives to get errands done. I take him with me. Of course he ends up spending alot of that time in the vehicle ( yes I keep it running so he has the proper temp). However it enriches our lives to have one another. And I look forward to as many years as I am blessed with his love in my life. Taking the time to ensure he is a well behaved dog has been worth it. Keep taking the time, keep putting the effort in.

So true about the energy involved in proper care of a dog. The fact you are going through that indicates you are doing right by him.

[@MaiuLunekund]

I lived in a small van with two Alaskan huskies for 1,5 years and to be able to fulfill their running needs (as they come from pure working sleddogs lines) my whole driving and in general entire daily schedule revolves around them. I know how limiting it can feel. And at the same time, because of THEM I have gone to the most beautiful locations by accident, searching for a good training trail. So yes, they take up a ton of time (and even more with a puppy!), and they restrict a lot what I can do and where I can go. But the only way thru this is to lean in, to embrace it and see where your journey will take you two where you otherwise wouldn't have gone alone. And do not feel bad spending to much time on the training! First years are the worst, after that your work will pay off big time, because the older the dog gets, the more time they need to learn new skills compared to the same skills in their younger years. So, better spend these 2 years focusing on the training and then the rest 10 enjoying the fruits rather than being frustrated 5 years later and wishing you would have put in the work ;)

Congratulations on reaching this achievement! I relate to your discussion on raising a pup, since I raised one myself when I was furloughed from a job in 1991. Mine was a lot simpler as I was at home and not traveling. Your choice of a German Shepard is ideal for your adventures - he will be protective and able to tolerate the wide range of climates you encounter. And from what I can tell in your videos, you are doing an excellent job with his training. Now for that new adventure - all the way to the southern tip of South America! Having taken 6 months to reach Prudhoe Bay, I imagine the next leg will require more than a year. I would guess roads in Central and South America will be much more challenging as well so maybe a year and a half. Best wishes and safe travels! We look forward to following your adventures!

You are about to show us this epic journey and I am so, so excited for you, and thank you for doing such an amazing job telling the story along the way and taking us with you. I am cheering you on from Canada :)

It's possible to drive anywhere

It happened to me see your travel videos in random youtube recommendations and but i really liking your travel experiences and the way you explain the details and in fact i am able to see them as life achievements and really inspirational to others to travel to see the god's gifted nature. thank you

How can u not jump in the ocean after that journey??? And no words can explain the feeling after reaching there... Kudos Eva ❤❤

[@Soulstreamcollective]

You have to get approved to get escorted through the oil fields. Definitely a simple process but you have to reach out to tour companies

[@birdgirl2182]

Eva, I'm so proud of you! What an accomplishment, and all while raising a puppy. You are a seriously cool women. Here's to more adventures heading south! xx

[@jnorth3341]

Glad you were able to get a tour to the coast this time of year and got in and out before the snow set in. This was a good year to do this, we just finished paving the road for about 40 miles or so south from Deadhorse, it was pretty bad prior to that.

[@LorenaSchuth]

Watching your videos has become my favourite Saturday evening activity. 😍

[@evazubeck]

Yayyy! Hope you enjoyed this one too!

[@NLaBar]

Your whole trip was amazing. You are now someone I greatly admire , respect & look up to for following your dreams and making them happen

[@BKMDano17]

I do believe you are accomplishing something that many people including myself would like to do. I'm very grateful that you are taking the time to film all this otherwise I wouldn't be able to see it. Unless of course I retire and I can do some traveling but then again I'm not so sure I'm as Brave As You Are!

[@bountifulbinx7327]

[@evazubeck]

Yay! Vilk sends hugs back!

[@breathingspace5717]

I love watching your videos…. The last one with the quote from your grandfather whilst in Tanzania was so moving. I felt a deep connection to his words after living in Tanzania for 15 years. It’s wonderful what you’re doing brave girl! And you’re a great dog mom! He’s a lucky boy 💕

[@michaelcook6483]

Where is her baby? Did she leave him at home?

[@lucaskruse]

i totally understand your point with being a dog mum. When i adopted my dog, i really underestimated how much time i would need and how it would change my life, especially because she is a fear-driven and "aggressive looking" dog from a dog-killing-station in romania. i am happy with my decision but if i could turn back time, i probably would not have done it due to own freedom. but then i think about the benefits for my mentality, my learnings about dogs and patience, thinking about the really important things in life. I dont want to give her away, she deserves to stay in her home and with her familiy, she should never feel this lonely, hurt and abandoned again, so i have to keep my head up. this wonderful time will be over too soon and i should embrace it. you should too! it is a wonderful experience and as you say - expedition! All the best for you

[@daydreamer4775]

Well, that's gonna be a journey. Congrats on making it all the way up there and stay safe on your journey back down.

When I worked in Tuktoyaktuk over a winter driving the ice roads, it was amazing to me that if I stood in the Northern part of town towards the North Pole, there was nobody infront of me for thousands of KM.

this was definitely anything but 'anti-climatic'. it was joyful, exuberant, and quite fulfilling. the only thing is, i'm sitting here in teXas watching and i can't really explain why i am tearing up as i watch. glad you brought us along on this portion on the journey, now, on to Argentina. and the adventure continues......

[@johninnz]

What an amazing adventure, it would be impossible to express how life changing a journey like that would be and to do it largely on your own takes heart and an immeasurable amount of courage.

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Hi Eva, Congratulations on your arrival at the tip of the USA. You have done well. I would like to thank you for doing such a candid frank and expert job of videography. I live in Michigan, and I almost made it to Alaska in my late teens. I was offered a job on the Dalton Hwy and then again on the Alaska Pipeline. It never happened, but I really wanted to go there. Your presentation skills made me feel like I was right there with you. I can't thank you enough for bringing up the memories of my youthful excitement planning my trip that never happened. God Bless you and take great care of yourself and Vilk. ben/ michigan

[@michelbedos9371]

When we were there 20n years ago it looked more or less the same. We flew our private aircraft up from Fairbanks IFR ( I Follow Road ). We flew just below the mountain tops and lower when ever possible. Mind ytou we were v ery lucky as it turned out to be a beautiful day and not the mud you are dealing with in the video. Love following your adventures.

[@easein]

Beautiful. My heart melts with warmth and joy from you're inspiration and fearlessness.

[@JimmyVespe]

I had a friend who did the same thing. When he got back into town the locals warned that he was lucky - Polar Bears are often in those areas!

[@NormanF62]

Congratulations on your swim in the Arctic Ocean! Making it to Prudhoe Bay was a feather in your cap but this is just the beginning of the long journey to Ushuaia in Patagonia. Many more adventures await you and Vilk. This was so cool to reach the north of Alaska! More to come…

[@manolishatzidakis4271]

Good luck to your new journey! You are not alone! We, your friends (if you can say so) are with you looking forward for a new video that travels us to these places, makes us fell like we are there, gives us happiness and a moment of freedom. Feelings that we want that bad but unfortunately for some reasons we are not able to accomplish. Thank you and be safe❤️

[@disky01]

What a bleak landscape...but it's places like this that give you reason to reason appreciate the places you've been, and the places you're going. I'd love to see more of Alaska through your channel because I know there's a lot of beauty there, but onward to Ushuaia!

[@dhannemari]

so excited to watch your videos every single week. I've watched all your previous videos and that's my one way of exploring places virtually. After watching this video I open my world map to scan where Argentina is. So happy that you reached Alaska after 6 months, Eva. God bless you on your journey to Argentina. 💚💚💚

[@williamcaudill3842]

It must have been a challenge traveling with a puppy.. specially a high energy dog like yours.. when you get a puppy you take responsibility for it's safety. I never thought I would be a dog person either but now I can't imagine life without

[@italianlifestyle7911]

I wish I could drop everything I've got going on in my life right now and be adventurous like you ... but I must face some cold facts: it's awesome watching someone else going through these adventures without suffering myself from the lack of all the comforts of the modern world, the constant stress of looking over your shoulder and after a while too much silence and isolation would also bother me! That said, I do hope I'll make it to Antarctica in the future, even if on a cruise!💙

[@0230Raveena]

I hope you make it too. I am certainly thinking about it but won't ever do it alone. I am thinking of taking my two nieces when they become young adults. Sometimes the world is less scarier than we think. (granted I'm saying this with no experience whatsoever but I keep telling myself that).

This is amazing. I absolutely understand what you mean with Vilk(?), it is a responsibility and akin to having a child. I have two little ones and they cling to me for comfort at any moment of uncertainty and it can be so draining, but at the end of the day, they have become a part of me in a way. Vilk will grow up to be an amazing companion. You are now in an exclusive club of people who have reached the arctic ocean. :-) Safe Travels.
