Arctic Dalton Highway (Haul Road) update

[@rpdobbler]

Anyone one else LOVE the fact that Hobo Shoestring always takes the time to put out his American flags at his camp site? I know I sure do!

[@jasonking2943]

In this day and time that's awesome so many want to burn her so few want to put out the flame

[@taztaztaz]

this dude has so much good info to share.. glad he’s posting

[@akghound]

You make me feel good Shoestring! I’m broke down a 130 miles from home. Waiting for parts to do a roadside repair. Checked notices and BINGO a new Shoestring video!!! Thank you my friend!!!

[@boaboy8052]

Looks like a good camp before the circle Shoestring. Nothing like a hot shower and clean clothes

[@TheHoboShoestring]

And I didn't expect that. Clothes washed and dried and shower and uploaded this video

[@diannelogsdon6107]

My wife’s laptop. I hitchiked cross country in March/April in 1973. San Diego, Louisville for a bit. Then up to Niagara Falls, and down to NJ. Always wanted to hop a rail car. Got a good job with the power company in Aug. 73’ and that kept me stationary. Married, kids, mortgage. Now my health is poorly. But I found you Shoestring, and I thank you. I thank God for all I do have, and hope you stay healthy, and God Bless you, my Friend!

[@pepelemoko01]

The optometrists are not seeing anyone at the moment. Priceless.

[@truckertom3323]

I was just taking a mouth full of tea when he said that, but just as it was going down, the penny dropped and it is very hard to describe the reaction. lol.

[@nomadihcnomadihc6709]

Shoestring I always feel better after your videos 💪💪💪

[@TheHoboShoestring]

Thanks

[@crackertracker1176]

I'm really digging your Alaska trip

[@aaronwhite2683]

Me too

[@NeoVoodooTech]

Such a beautiful place! Alot of peace to be found out there, may god walk with you my friend.

[@jeffnpatricia]

Agreed.

[@benchrzan]

That campground is a really lucky find for 10 dollars. I was surprised to hear all the things they include! Nice warm shower and clean clothes must sound good by now! Stay safe brother!

[@nervouswreck392]

GRATE SCENERY‼️👌

[@daemonjeep]

Curious to see the pipeline. Loving the videos shoestring!

[@russdion7151]

Thanks for bringing back great memories. I was involved in supplying parts kits for the first four pump stations including Livengood and Coldfoot. Kits were packed in wood crates, sold to Bechtel and eventually to Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. Your tours are excellent and educational.

[@danielhawkins6619]

The most interesting Man in the World

[@EricSmith-ve7qi]

Without a doubt!! Amazing

[@STAshe1]

[@JohnBoy]

If I keep watching your videos, I'm going to stop being a HILLBILLY and turn into a train hopping HOBO ! Thanks for sharing your adventures. Stay safe and I keep you in my prayers.

[@stevexray6253]

It looks like the weather is nice. I always thought it was cold in Alaska because it gets too cold for me in Alabama. 😁👍

[@leapyear9460]

Thx for the update , happy to be along for the ride 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@jtlbz]

Stay safe and have fun I enjoy your videos.

[@chrisparrmusic4972]

Used to live just around the corner from there. There wasn't a campground there then, but there used to be a park across the road where the flat spot is now, with a bridge across a little creek with a gravity feed pipe system where we went to fill our water jugs. I stayed on the back side of Cleary Summit, near Chatanika, (about 4 hills away from that campground, as the crow flies) and worked about 6 miles east of the haul road up the middle fork of the Koyekuk just a few miles before Coldfoot for a while. Thanks for letting me see my old stomping grounds again.

[@raybruce9522]

Thanks for uploading your videos Shoestring I really like listing and learning. Your on my wave length.

[@loonhaunt]

Thanks for posting before we went to bed. Was worried about you bringing that pail of bear treats in the bush. Glad you made it out ok.

[@conorquarterman7388]

Shoestring good luck on your trip. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@drush406]

Good to see you. Beautiful there. Stay safe!

[@BS25BaldEagle]

Good to see you have somewhere safe to stay and good value. You mentioned Prudhoe Bay. I live not far away from a little town called Prudhoe in Northumberland, UK. I wonder whether people went out there from here a long time ago. (Later addition) Wikipedia says it is named after the Duke of Northumberland aka Lord Prudhoe of Prudhoe Castle in Northumberland UK. Well I never!

[@brantcompany]

Very nice u need to find u one of those small lodge $9.95 6 1/2" cast iron fry pans

[@Redgonetogray]

Happy trails !

[@rifke]

You teach me something in every video.

[@jimrf1137]

Great deal on the campsite.good luck with the glasses. Thanks for sharing your freedom. It really helps sometimes.

[@Bill-cv1xu]

Fairbanks was pretty crazy during the pipeline years. I seen some crazy shit on two street back in the height. .

[@deaustin4018]

did you work on the pipeline? If so, I was the MP climbing onto the bus at the gate to Ft. Wainwright checking Alyeska IDs.

[@enjoyyourday5870]

...loose women in frilly frocks?

[@Bill-cv1xu]

The main gate? We used the entrance by Tanana jr. high..

[@drewmoyer8748]

[@leslieelm]

When was a draftee stationed at Fort Richardson outside of Anchorage in 1a967, the auction for North Slope lease was held in the only theater downtown Anchorage. After auction ended, the state chartered a 707 to fly check to NY so as not to lose the one day of interest on the money

[@flyinglizards80]

Sims cards and memory chips. Classic shoestring. Love you

[@vrmntthb]

I get the cheater glasses all the time and are cheap at the dollar stores or Dollar General if they have any up there... It’ll do for the time being...

[@karen4you]

What an adventure. Glad you found an inexpensive camp with a shower.

[@russellsart]

I subscribed last night......Really enjoy your videos Shoestring.....also the stories and your knowledge of the Railroad......Thanks.

[@mingles69]

Good to see you made it here. Rest up and relax a bit. Just don't take the vette for a spin. Not sure they would like that. Stay safe and happy travels.

[@drewmoyer8748]

You just keep doing what you're doing I will keep watching

[@maverickmac1797]

My grandfather worked the oil fields in the U.S. south, much in Kentucky. He was such a hard worker and so knowledgeable in the business he was offered $100,000 plus higher salary to move to Alaska and work there but he refused it because it of the cold and he was looking to retire. It wasn't long he developed leukemia, probably due to the chemicals he was around in the oil industry, and passed away.

[@apmazurka]

Thanks for the Update, Very Interesting about the pipeline and O Yes I Love the "Corvette Tent" LOL. Andy M

[@cdgodsell]

Im a enjoying the vids and following along! Cheers brother

[@AdamRules420]

This man is such an inspiration

[@kens.3729]

[@murphmurph2124]

Have a great day Shoestring

[@MrDLRu]

Great trip!...Breakin' in them new boots the right way.

[@O_l_i_v_e_r391]

Hey Shoestring, keep up the good updates, you are an inspiration to is all. If I could do life over, I would live a simple life like you. Also, I think KZbin demonitised you again, try to turn that back on so you can get paid.

[@xladydriver]

Alaska is charging airport prices for a can of pop 😱 Glad you found a deal on the campsite, Covid is working for you (camp, airfare,free bus) and against you at the same time ( no Dr. appointments) . Rest well for the journey ahead. Happy Rails & Trails to you 💙

[@Jeff_1349]

Alaska imports almost everything making it so expensive.

[@KandRCustomModels]

I just got back to fairbanks myself and had to do covid test and wait at home 72 hour till they email me the results! Be sure to call me if you are in fairbanks early in the week!

[@ZMEDICALFARMER]

[@BraunBrosBriar]

My brother and I just found your channel. We have something in common brother. We like trains. Be safe and get your eyes looked at. You need to be able to look out for yogi if he shows up

[@mikeyyoyo6464]

Well at least yer camera pictures crisp lol. Thanks for the views! Keep on trucking ❤️👍

[@crypto118]

Let us know the next town you come to with an optometrist. We can make some calls to get you some new eyes.

[@TheHoboShoestring]

Thanks

[@natevanlandingham1945]

That Fred meyers would have had SD cards. I don't know exactly what they sell we don't have them here. But if it's like Walmart or an outdoor store it will have them. Ask at the campground they may have an extra they might give you for a few bucks.

[@4snowdog]

Stay safe! God Bless Brother.

[@tribeof2035]

Keep living the Dream.

[@carlwidell8983]

Wouldn't surprise me if Ice Road Truckers learned from your bike trip back in the day.

[@cass7142]

Safe travels
