Another lovely adventure. I think the only missing piece is a beautiful doggy need Diesel! I bet he’d love a road trip over ice!(hint,hint missing our favorite U-Tube Trucker dog)

[@hardwoodjoe21]

Don't worry Josh. You're going to make it across. You see, I am watching this on January 21, 2023 and you have created many VLOGS after this one, so I know that you made it.

[@jordanloon6084]

hello from Sioux Lookout, Northwestern Ontario. I’ve driven on ice roads North of Pickle Lake, Ontario.

[@jefflee5047]

Nice to see these remote roads and towns that you’ve never been to, and hearing your enthusiasm about that.

[@johnrogers5825]

I love seeing all that snow and ice. One day I may get there to experience for myself, but for now I'll stay in sub-tropical Queensland on the Sunshine Coast in Australia. I love you Canadians, you all seem like really nice humans.

[@karrardriver6827]

Hello from iraq 👋

[@nathanbrodeur]

Josh your looking at $7,000.00 just in fuel and another $3,000.00 in recovery costs cause those two wreckers were rotators plus the price per km so all together the cost with tax is easily $15,000.00

[@Trucker_Josh]

Yikes 😳

[@shawnpa]

Seems a little high

[@nathanbrodeur]

@@shawnpa did you skip past or did you see they had their hazmat truck there’s the fuel for that they also had people doing traffic control and depending on how a rotator is built the fuel tank is 90 to 120 us gallons so while on scene they can on a all day recovery burn through an additional 90-180 gallons of fuel just to power the truck to do the recovery plus the labor of all the employees plus the travel to and from there shop if I remember that spot was roughly a 8 hour trip from there shop you would be surprised at how fast money adds up

[@cameronyeo2363]

You forgot the dramatic music as you crossed the ice lol

[@Darstrom]

I find that turning your hazards on to warn traffic behind that there COULD be a potential halt or a quick slow is a good idea! Especially when a bunch of cars in front are suddenly braking you don't know if they will stop or not, you'll warn other drivers behind you of a potential hazard!

[@NLJosh83]

Your frantic waving is a remnant of the days when you were a Volvo driver.

[@michaelthomas3646]

I couldn't fault your use of hazards at all, the UK highway code when passing my driving test was extremely vague about using hazards, the only thing it said was never use hazards when driving, and only use hazards on the highway/open road (60 mph+ roads) when your speed is less than 40 mph. so totally up to the individual and their interpretation on what the highway code was saying. but basically my interpretation is use them in the interest of public safety, and warning others of a danger. or changing of speed as in down to a total stop. there isn't a minimum or maximum amount of time, but as a general rule should display hazards until they a totally obscured from view by other traffic. so like in this vlog, I couldn't fault you with your use of hazards, as by the time you were close to 20-30 mph then you were obscuring the view of the recovery crew from the cars behind, so hazards mean you are slowing down/stopping, when stationary I would generally like to see 5 cars behind my car unless my car has the hazards high up the back of the car, before switching them off, I will display them if I see a hazard ahead so that drivers have more time to slow down (reducing the chance of injury to myself and others, especially if the stationary traffic is on a bend, but say got a truck behind that would need to slow down over a longer distance to make a safe stop.

[@michaelthomas3646]

but when visability is reduced as in vegitation on the side of the road, trees, or grass verges, then I would personally use the hazards for longer, as it would allow traffic coming around the bend more time to see that traffic is stationary. so totally up to the personal driver at the end of the day, and what they think will reduce the chance of danger to themselves and other road users.

Manitoba Hydro, the government-owned public utility is the main power generator in the province with 15 hydroelectric generating stations, 2 fossil-fuel plants and 4 diesel generators, for a total installed capacity of 5,701 MW.

[@Donald_Shaw]

I too wave at highway workers and flag holders. Generally I roll down my window and thank them for their work and offer a bottle of water if I have some with me. Thanks for the chit-chat in the truck with us today.

[@wattyh1]

HI BRO. over the pond ive heard that a lot of tow truck charge companies around £600 minimum per hour. that's just the tow truck any other vehicles men etc etc costs extra

[@johnnydokter3473]

Hi Josh there is a guy from the Netherlands who is driving on the Ice roads now. He also makes vlogs .Maybe you can check him out if your want .His you tube channel is Jans life on the road.

[@dominick253]

I show my wife the weather where you are compared to Chicago. Makes her appreciate our weather 🤣😂🤣 so sorry for you guys up there.

[@yragtgov]

I wonder how they transition from Summer to winter and vice versa. Water to ice etc. Otherwise people would be land locked for some time.

[@lucaskalkman8209]

Hi Josh I have been following your journey on KZbin since 2015. I enjoyed watching your journeys across Canada east and west and was waiting for the day that you would takes us way up north in the winter. I am surprised to see that it the ice roads are still open half way through March. Stay safe. Wishing you happy trucking trails and new adventures.

[@Alxndr57834]

Pretty awesome how he can drive all over Manitoba without a sat nav.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Hello Josh, Brit, & boys! Hope you are all well. Driving over frozen body of water is scary to me. I know you'll be okay.

[@hotboiorlando]

It would be pretty cool to see that place in the summer when everything is green an I bet that damn is pretty cool to see all the water flowing threw to

[@maryrussell7298]

josh I think you would be very close to correct on that tow bill

[@kenpullias7919]

There are currently four working diamond mines in Canada, three in the NWT - the Ekati, Diavik and Gahcho Kué mines - and the Renard diamond mine in Quebec.

[@timmyangeltlc4888]

I don't drive but I won't go on any ice unless I know it's a good foot or more in thickness. The trees mark the road for safety of all drivers.

[@442moe4]

You are not far off with the tow bill. When our concrete trucks need a tow it's ranges between $1500--2000 using one wrecker.

[@dextergord1161]

Great video josh mate even though it was a short ice crossing still takes nerve to drive them well done mate take care

[@Rodknockacres]

Google says they have a population of a little over 10k people

[@dennismacintosh3762]

Hey trucker Josh, I wave at other cars all the time. I’m sure they say to themselves, who was that? Because when someone waves at me i say to myself, who was that.

[@tonyt5498]

I have a cousin, who lives in blumenort, who has been doing ice Road Trucking in Northern Manitoba and Ontario for at least 10 years.

[@Trucker_Josh]

I grew up there

Population of Norway House Manitoba - around 5,000, per Wikipedia. (And that's in Canadian numbers. Not sure what that would be in U.S. measurement. 😅)

[@jenneljustus9601]

Many yrs ago when I drove, truckers always waved at other truckers, it was just like an extended family

[@philiplindley7384]

Yeah, I'm surprised, there's a lot going on up there.

[@Jason-L-Ledford]

Norway House has over 5000 people.

Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world and is the world's fourth largest oil producer and fourth largest oil exporter. In 2019 it produced an average of 750,000 cubic metres per day (4.7 Mbbl/d) of crude oil and equivalent.

[@lucmeilleur7533]

Legendary trip Josh hope to me ya in Toronto 🤘

[@Trucker_Josh]

I'll see you there!

[@1_ledgend]

After looking at your videos I have to say your authorities don't clean the snow very well do they. I have been trucking all round Europe and the countries all do very good jobs .is there a reason for this?

[@woodsplitter3274]

I would hazard a guess that we have a lot more roads.

[@scottjonassen81]

Spent lots of time on the ice hauling fuel in northern Ontario. Longest crossing was birch lake (20 km-2 hours) Trees are markers

[@abathens]

I bet the locals have a great deal of pride regarding that new traffic light---as they should.

[@allenhansen5425]

Good vlog Josh, that's a nice area on Manitoba. Have a great day. Thanks.

[@marciaburton2202]

Love your videos. We just might make a ice road trucker out of you yet

Hey Josh !! Because of ""POLITICS"" ,,That's way we ALL are paying ""$5.00 "" US for fuel !!
