Road Trip of a Lifetime? Or a Drive Into the Apocalypse? (contains the best blooper yet!)

The Dempster Highway is the only publicly accessible road that goes to the Arctic Ocean in North America and I drove it to the most remote permanent settlement accessible by road on the continent. It was a real adventure as I met people along the way, both transplants and indigenous locals, and learned a bit about their way of life. Passing through some of the last large tracts of true wilderness remaining on earth, I filmed wildlife such as grizzly and black bears, caribou and other animals. The Dempster has a nasty reputation towards vehicles and I was not immune to it's wrath. Join me for a thrilling adventure on my wildest journey yet.

The main thing I got from this apart from a fanatic adventure was just how nice ppl who don't have a lot of what we in the modern world think is important ...we have lost so much humanity in gaining the modern world.

[@tomatin6437]

Fantastic travel documentation! Thank you for sharing your deep thoughts and impressive landscapes with us...

Thank you!

[@bobboonstra9235]

I totally enjoyed your whole production video. Having travelled by motorcycle to Tuk and back to southern BC, I can relate to many of the things you experienced on your journey. There were however, many things you saw and experineced that I did not see. One was that of visiting an indigenous community to see processing ofl fish and apparently with very little waste. That I have to see for myself. I have walked and scrambled in the Tombstone ranges - a separate trip from the motorcycle trip I mentioned. Your video is an encouragement to visit again soon -- while I am healthy and vital and able to do so. Thanks for posting such an interesting video.

[@rockhopperadventures]

Thanks for your comment. Nice to hear from another traveler who has visited the region. I hope you are able to make a return trip! I'll have a video on a trail I hiked in Tombstone coming soon!

[@FuckALLauthorities]
