TrailRecon is one of the few channels that I hit like before I hit play. What a beautiful ride.

[@ktjl7479]

Brad, Thank you for taking the time to share such an adventure. My health is such that a lot of the trips you take are out of reach. Its great to live the adventure through your posts.

[@VictorVlogsPDX]

What a stunning trip. Feels like you couldn't take a bad turn if you wanted to. It was so nice to meet you at Overland Expo. Thank you for taking the time to chat about the Big Horn Sheep. Keep up the good work and everything you do for the Overlanding community. 👊

[@fritzlevi2261]

Awesomely beautiful, thank you Trail Recon.

[@TrailRecon]

[@jdii5698]

Brad, your drone camera work is getting so much better You are getting some stunning drone footage!! Well done! 😎

[@TRCAdventures]

Ahhh, all the memories of past trips are flooding my brain.... guess I just need to go back again!

[@gilbertferguson1685]

Thanks for sharing this adventure. Beautiful scenery and challenging terrain for sure. Well done guys.

[@AndrewMcDonald]

Beautiful aerial photography! This is a great series about an epic trip. Thanks for sharing!

[@timkiely3240]

I gotta say I have really enjoyed following along on this journey. A definite bucket list trip for me!

[@Conall8]

Great video! It brought back some good memories from when I was a teenager in the early 80's. The town was so much more back then with its shops, pool, skating rink(where I was teaching kids to skate). It even had a movie theatre where I saw the 'Rocky horror picture show' for the first time! Looking forward to your next video.

[@JohnBarrios-x7l]

A great journey!!! Such Fantastic scenery. I live tagging along on your adventures!!!!!! Look forward to more.

[@TrailRecon]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ian0841]

Incredible video, thank you for taking us on this adventure with you.

[@chrissolomon8868]

Iam already dreaming of being in such a lovely place in my life time...guys enjoy your time togeather ...lovely episode

[@brunnie]

Thanks for another ride-along. Sure looks like you saw some outstanding scenery.

[@DM-tf6mk]

What a great video and thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@jaystewart9947]

Great views and adventure! Liking the ride and thanks for sharing!

[@MinorCarvajal-no5os]

That's awesome..I'm a rookie enthusiastic of the outdoors..have no experience driving of road ..or camping..my jeep is a normal vehicle nothing fancy I will love to drive this amazing country before I die

[@annakickan]

We are most definitely adding this trip to our wishlist of future adventures.

[@BrendanMason-s2c]

That campsite at the end is a great spot. I camped there in 2007 and again last summer.

[@jilbertb]

Great videos! What a dream trip! Can't wait for the next chapter(s)!

[@mikegallagher2732]

This is AWESOME Brad .... You and Shaun are Such a GREAT Team !!!!! WHAT a journey this must have been ...This is NOW on MY bucket list !!!!!

[@matthewmiranda3473]

I love your selection of Audio Book, that is a great series!

[@kevenrobinson6187]

Looks great. What an amazing trip good for you !!!!

[@TMcClintock]

Holy smokes, what is that drone Shawn is running, it looks like something out of a Terminator movie. Does it carry Hellfire missiles too?? LOL. Great adventure guys.

[@rickgargus6553]

Hey Brad, Your Arctic ocean adventure was epic. Love your channel. I think I've watched most of your videos. Love all your jeeps, the JK is my absolute favorite. It just looks perfect. Just wondering if you've done Black Bear Pass in Colorado and if not do you have any plans for doing it in the future. Watched a couple other videos and it looks like the ultimate test for man and vehicle...but scary as hell. Thanks for all your videos, keep them coming and stay safe. Love to hear back from you. Rick

[@Shazit222]

What a cloab, please repeat. Good adventure and I watched both and enjoyed every second. Both did a great storytelling by keeping your own ways of videograph and storytelling. 👏

[@Casey250]

It is wild just how large British Columbia is. Im glad you guys made it to the ocean.

[@TrailRecon]

Large and beautiful!

[@charlesb4267]

As an example Alberta is just a little shy of the size of Texas, BC on the other hand is the size combined of Texas and Michigan together to give you some perspective. Yes Ontario and Quebec are much larger yet. The gist is that Canada was just sliced up into fewer pieces of a pie but makes for some large landscapes within a border.

[@jameslanteigne9706]

Brad, great video! This one made me nostalgic, it was cool to see you and Shaun roll through my old stomping grounds. I lived in a small gold mining camp (Erickson Gold) 14 km from Cassiar and took the school buss from the mining camp to Cassiar where I went to school. If I remember correctly when I was in 11th grade (1988) the total school population was 94 students (grades 8 -12). I left there in the summer of 88 and the town closed down in 92 I think. I live in Colorado Springs now but sure do miss those Cassiar Mountains! I hope to meet you at one of the overland expo events in the future. Great content, keep it up!

[@hadarfineart]

Last summer on the road out to the old Cassiar mine I saw 2 wolf pups. Super cool. Then my woof had a great run on the old runway. Yeah, a huge tailing MOUNTAIN!

[@Zippy-da-Chimp]

I'd love to attempt this trip in my '04 Jeep TJ. The biggest obstacle I see for it would be carrying enough jerry cans to make it from fuel stop to fuel stop!

[@TrailRecon]

Fuel becomes a slight challenge for us, it's something to be mindful of when doing this trip.

[@SetPace]

Yes!!! Lets go

[@steverhodes3054]

I have dozens of Louis L’Amour audio novels…..they are the best. They transport your imagination to another time & place and the miles seem to melt away. I love this part of world, thanks for sharing. 👍👍

[@jeffreybischof315]

I like the look of the trail. Looking forward to doing some thing like next year

[@davidf9027]

I was where you are/going in 2015 on my motorcycle. It was beyond amazing. Enjoy. Be safe.

[@Dallas88888]

So much fun! Thanks!

[@michaelmacdonald7342]

Definitely a bucket list trip, I am from the east coast of Canada and have never been up to the Canadian territories before, I definitely want to do a trip like this at some point. Great to have a second vehicle and friend along when in these remote locations. Love the scenery.

[@keithetchells3932]

Greyling denote clean and cold water, nice trip Brad.

[@markperza384]

Great video Brad… Keep them coming!!

[@alaskafamilyoverlandadvent5047]

As a California native living in Alaska now, I say the same thing about the lakes and rivers in the north all the time. It amazing to see nature without all the development.

[@chrismc.893]

And pullution, crowds, and fees!

[@jasonstefanuk3579]

Loving this series. ❤

[@Crashedprotocol]

Weather is looking good Brad, i drove hwy 37 last year in July, all the way to anchorage, Ak. Cant wait to see how you do on the road past Haines Junction, lots of pot holes, and drop offs.

[@charlesb4267]

Remember he won't be going that way, as far as I know he won't be going into Alaska at all or that was not the plan he laid out. North of Whitehorse is where he will be headed unless the plan changed along the way. Back in 2006 I went up to Dawson City and across over into Alaska there on the top of the world highway to the Alaska highway, and then on up to Fairbanks and the arctic circle, then down to Anchorage, Homer, then around over to Tok to join up with the Alaska highway again and did that section you are referring to back to Whitehorse. That was the worst section then of the Alaska highway but was WAY better than what I have seen in videos in recent years with construction and messes everywhere in that area you refer to and its all due to perma frost I would think causing the road to fall to pieces.

[@larrysmart2805]

Brad, in a future coffee one take, could you go over the lessons learned on setting up Doc for this trip? What worked, what didn't work as planned, and what would you do differently.

[@Todoterreno_4x4]

Beautiful videos.

[@SteveWalker-le4nf]

Great trip Brad. On my drive out of Alaska it wasn’t semi’s it was rental RVers

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Its a Asbestos tailing pile, the mine Closed in 92. The open pit mine is on top of the mountian

[@TrailRecon]

Oh interesting, thanks for the intel.

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Brad

[@adamsimon4775]

What an awesome adventure

[@80KG_Costco_Chicken]

I am sure you have planed for it for the further. But just in case you didn’t, make sure you don’t miss Hyder, Alaska and the Salmon Glacier. 😊

[@cesarbrunocarvalho8170]

Just amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@martyhartwell7128]

I see in your videos you and Shaun using some sort of two way radios, I am just wondering what kind of radios they are and how much coverage they give.

[@sltfhcawelti]

I see you are running all amber auxiliary lights. Mind taking a moment to talk about it and why you chose this particular set up? Thanks, love your work. Good wholesome content to watch with the kids.

[@TrailRecon]

I did a video a few years ago about amber vs. white, but I think it's a topic I can discuss again.... pros and cons to both

[@jeffreysmith4304]

Thanks for Sharing A Trip I'm Sure I won't ever do

[@johnathonhandley6477]

Campground just north of teslin is right on lake for like $25 usually spots, but the truck pull out is right there for overflow if full

[@Thexkidd]

Amazing nature

[@davidk6668]

I get jealous of all your large rigs until I see you get hung up on those dips and then I like my 2 door Wrangler pulling small square drop camper.

[@AustinH7]

It’s a give and take, no rig is perfect for every situation. I’m sure a good compromise between the 2 door and Gladiator w trailers would be the gladiator without a trailer.

[@AdiosomatikA]

Are you ok my friend? I hope your well... Prayers going out to you!!!

[@xpendabull]

5:30 That ain’t no bridge, it’s termites holding hands.

[@adrianw3985]

Look at this bridge... cool, you go first.

[@s.schoaf6077]

Very cool, definitely a bucket list trip. Thanks for sharing all of your lessons learned! I noticed your exhaust noise in your video, are you still happy with the sound level?

[@johnathonhandley6477]

I'm one of those semis .. you picked a time when ft Nelson route was closed due to fires so trucks going to Whitehorse have use that highway. The other way to whitehorse has better camping and amazing lakes. Check out summit lake bc, and Muncho

[@johnathonhandley6477]

It is a lot more like a highway

[@GaryDrumm]

@thestorytilnow has been on way more sketchy bridges. 😂. Excellent video!

[@Shankbone_Farm]

My favorite book series of all time is the Sackett family.

[@hankadlev173]

really cool drone

[@goblin3810]

Great drone shots on the highway at the beginning. Edit after seeing the drone wow. I use a mini 2 professionally lol

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Epic Brad 👍🏻👍🏻

[@cwwcww7465]

Campspot at 13:17 looks really SASQUATCHY....

[@johnfulater2945]

Brad, How do you get your patches stick to the Hothead Headliner?

[@shawnm2597]

It would be nice to drop a fishin line in one of the epic rivers/lakes just to see if you can catch some dinner.

[@stoyasmussen5831]

Brad who has not been stuck !

[@irvineyoung4545]

That sketchy bridge is almost like the TransCanada HWY. for Shawn

[@obrianmcc]

I'll present this as a question ... I know that the rear recovery points on the Patriot are rated for recovery, but are they appropriate for the use of a soft shackle. In the video the tabs look somewhat thin and the bore edges sharp. If they are indeed radiused I'll be quiet ....

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

10:25 I noticed you've been using OnX Offroad lately.. You used to always use Gaia GPS .. Do you like ON X better? I personally tried both and I found ON X to be easier to use and to find stuff. If I am remembering correctly (it's been a while) there were just way too many layers for me on Gaia. I like the simplicity of OnX Offroad.

[@MikeUtah]

All these channels are sponsored by ONX so you won’t get an accurate answer.

[@samwalker1304]

One on a strict Mediterranean diet while the other has never seen a piece of red meat or comfort food he would turn down😂

[@TErraTune-Design]

Awesome!!!!

[@TrailRecon]

Thanks!!

[@shawnm2597]

Nice beaverrrr...

[@alexorcas1]

If you never get stuck, how are you supposed to learn the limits of your vehicle? Take calculated risks with a buddy so you can be safe and confident when solo.

[@josephlantz7719]

How are you all getting the patches to stick up on the roof like that ? 😮

[@shawnm2597]

Just wondering if you guys used the gmrs radios or does Canada use different frequencies? Or does Canada use the same GMRS frequencies as the US.?

[@correfe]

Hey Brad, What antenna are you using for your 2 way radio

[@ahmednesbitte4906]

Hi Brad, awesome video! How did the Patriot Camper Gen 2 X3 do in this trip to the Arctic Circle?

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you! It was a good asset to have when spending this much time in remote camping areas, performed very well.

[@jesusnunez384]

With what camera do you record your video when you are recording while walking?

[@kg285]

Hey Brad, When are you guys going to calgary?

[@qrolander]

Brad those places are amazing. I just have a suggestion. You guys should take a mexican overlander so it could be the three amigos! Maybe Marco, or why not me. haha

[@phillipcraddock8248]

awesome

[@larrysmart2805]

When you got hung up crossing the wooden bridge, did you question your decision to go with 35" tall tires?

[@cwwcww7465]

Nitto has a 37 11.50 now.......absolute perfect tire size for Trail Rigs.....

[@TrailRecon]

The thought has crossed my mind.

[@settingofthesuns]

37s would let the vehicle cross more easily, but that trailer hitch was going to hit unless it got a lift and bigger tires, too.

[@pleinairbarnettoutdoors]

Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦

[@TheOverlandGolfer]

First🎉

[@ilkeryucel5711]

Brad, having front lockers did not help you get out of the challenge you encountered at the bridge? It makes me thinks twice to overland solo! :(

[@Mr.Mines_World]

awesome video also im calling you 4x4 paul wall :)

[@cwwcww7465]

Also Brad..... Lobbie BFGoodrich to make a true to size 37-11.50 AT and MT Yell at them if you must....but get that done..... White Letters Out of course....

[@kscoran]

Is Shawn doing air strikes with that’s drone 😂😂

[@JelmervanderMeer7]

This is easy to say from my comfy couch, but would it have made sense to flip your hitch around 180 degrees in that ditch crossing? That way it would have pointed up. Your camper would’ve been at a weird angle for a bit, but you might not have gotten stuck.

[@toddshook1765]

Your camping spot on day 7 next to river is what I picture where I want to be. Driving you can great views but the drone really made the views epic.
