[@TrailRecon]

This was truly the adventure of a lifetime! Here is the list of videos from our journey: Ep 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKewk5KYqtKma8U Ep 2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaWwdopuYsRlgqs Ep 3. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnyWqJSVh5p0i9U Ep 4. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmaVZnShpqmlftE

I’m glad to see your getting to see all the wild life here in Canada. If I may make a suggestion? On your way to Banff towards the end of your trip to meet up with the misses, you could go through Jasper National Park and then from there go through to Nordagg and then onto Banff. I think you will love the scenery.

[@TrailRecon]

I really enjoyed spending time in Canada and I did make the drive from Jasper to Banff.... breathtaking!

[@Jan-pw4po]

Another captivating video, Brad you have inspired me to start planning my trip to the Arctic Circle next year

[@petercrean5176]

That is absolutely incredible! Now on my bucket list too!

[@bwofficial1776]

Incredible scenery. So much history up there that most people won't see because of how remote it is.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

So happy to see our sign is still alive and well! 🙌🏼

[@regenakowitz]

We really enjoy your videos! 😁

[@TrailRecon]

Got some inspiration from watching your adventure. Safe travels you guys!

[@jimstoneman1732]

You’ve definitely added to my wanting to head to the far north (in a few years, after retirement)! The scenic beauty is amazing, as is the wildlife. One correction I’d like to make: It’ll be a little tough finding an Ansel Adams painting as you mentioned - he was a photographer (and environmentalist), not a painter. 😁 And a damn good one at that! But the images in my mind were brought to life just the same. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@yvettessherpa]

It was nice meeting you at the PNW expo and thank you so much for the recommendation to hit eastern Oregon. It was truly amazing and we will definitely be heading back there.

[@DanielRebar]

The scenery is truly breathtaking. It's clear that two seasoned overlanders have a great skill at choosing routes. Please forgive me for injecting some bad mojo into your comment section, but I have an important message to add. I am serving in Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and much of my service is done in the forests of Donbas. These were very beautiful forests, but they have been bombed and burned to a shadow of their former selves. You can't stand in one place and look around you without seeing burnt, splintered, and fallen trees, and large bomb craters. The trails are littered with husks of bombed out vehicles. And you can't stray from the trails because of the danger of mines everywhere. Again, I apologize for interrupting your wonderful video. I just know that a large majority of your viewers are patriots, and I ask that everyone take a moment to think of pray for Ukraine in their continued time of need. Thank you.

[@victormacedo582]

whoa, thinking to make a trip like this near in the future starting at MX , EUU and then CA. Big hurra to TrailRecon for this amazing opportunity to enjoy the beautiful wonders of the world. Be safe brother!

[@HectorjMaldonado]

at the 5:54 mark, the sign read in green (city sign) "Welcome to Southgate, CA" I lived there, LOL

[@RedNeckBiker109]

Dude...Ansel Adams was a photographer. He was so good they look like paintings.

[@davidwebster3510]

Thanks for doing what you do and making awesome videos for our enjoyment. I look forward to seeing your next videos and projects.

[@AndrewTurner251]

Really enjoy these videos, thanks for making them.

[@williamthomas5918]

So thrilled to see my three favorite overlanders having lunch together in a place I have often visited myself!

[@SuperTimsSettlements]

I love Whitehorse! I used to go there about every summer when growing up.

[@ccpictures]

You missed the sour toe cocktail! Best Dawson City tradition. Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you

[@TrailRecon]

We watched a few folks do it, not for me!

[@bryanrupple7441]

That lake was incredible

[@northerntoyota7584]

Awesome video. I laughed at the Canada tire! Canadian tire, a place where us Canadians spend many hours.

[@PatsSpats]

Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. I doubt I’ll ever have the opportunity to venture out like this, so I get to participate vicariously.

[@allmightygreat1892]

2160 is so clear . Appreciate your quality clear content. Please keep the jeep maint videos . That mechanic dude sure can present an educational video.

[@PROXIMO22]

ive been wanting to do this trip ever since they opened the road to tuk. i even built a rig to do it but sold it for an offer i couldn't refuse. currently preparing the next rig!

[@JohnBarrios-x7l]

My dream is being in the Sierra Mountains!!!! I'm doing it watching your videos !!!!! But yes I would love to have a jeep exploring.....

[@1870offroad]

6:06 wow I see a Georgia license plate. Someone from my neck of the woods is representing all the way up there!!

[@mikebrewington1425]

I’m loving following along reliving my son and I’s journey from Alaska. Dawson City Museum was awesome.

[@timothyyoungman2020]

Looks like it was a great adventure and thanks for making it available for all of us to experience and dream of doing. How do you think the diesel JL would have done on this voyage?

[@JordanPattersonM]

Another great video, thanks for sharing!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@_carsonjones]

Great video and series! FYI Ansel Adams was a photographer not painter 😉.

[@allmightygreat1892]

Thanks perfect video .

[@daveblademan]

Brad, you have taste - Def Leppard Hysteria for a roadtrip ! Awesome choice ;-)

[@dantodhunter8373]

Batavia, pronounced "Bat", long "A", "Via" Batāvia. It's about an hour due west of Chicago, IL.

[@oscarbernal5508]

South Amrica Nex!

[@casmeedmohammed4236]

Hello Brad, greetings from Trinidad, thank you very much for sharing your beautiful videos, much appreciated, God bless

[@TrailRecon]

You are very welcome

[@notaspectator]

I took my Cherokee Trailhawk up here :)

[@archstanton3636]

Wow! This is what every good camper dreams of. Congratulations.

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Brad. This has been an epic adventure see all these amazing and incredible places through y’all eyes. Thanks for letting us ride along with y’all on y’all’s adventures.

[@davidk6668]

I could hear your engine going through spurts of high revolutions along a highway that looked fairly flat. Is that engine struggling to pull all that weight? Can’t wait for the Hurricane engine!

[@williamwilcox-rd7cx]

“Canadian” Tire …eh !! Not Canada Tire . I did this trip in my Jeep last year , from Southwest Ontario to Tuktoyaktuk , then over to Alaska on Top of the World Highway, then back down to Northern BC . I’m back exploring Northern BC right now , pretty awesome!! Cheers , Wild Bill Jeep overlanding the Canadian North !!

[@bmarshallmtb7193]

Titans class of '91! The Poway sign made me laugh. You and TSTN have put together some stunning content. What an adventure, and the scenery? WOW! And some bighorn sheep! So awesome you got to see them, and a porcupine too? Thank you for your service to our country, thank you for some inspiring content, and have a fantastic 4th of July!

[@Eric.Hansel]

Very cool sir!

[@Mark-id7fq]

Hi Brad, long time viewer enjoy everything you post! Our kids live in Watson Lake (SIL is rcmp up there) wife & I planning our own rd trip up there next May. What is the name of that beautiful lake you guys camped at 15 min mark? Stunning location!

[@eh4623]

Magnificent.

[@northerntoyota7584]

That 3.6 and trailer combo sounds like Jeep needs that TT HURRICANE in a bad way!

[@rudolfyakich6653]

I drove my 1973 FJ40 to Anchorage. Try fishing for Northern Pike near Watson Lake. I caught a lot of grayling. Look good but not tasty

[@Harold710]

I had a 1971 FJ 40. What kind of mpg did you get?

[@MD.ImNoScientician]

Your Day-9 morning at that lake shore was stunning Brad! What beautiful images.

[@ericgreenblatt196]

It happens. My technique when I fly solo….. do 3 walk arounds in opposite directions!

[@bntravelin2]

Top notch video

[@spinxt]

Brad, what happened to GAIA GPS? It seems like every overlander is now an OnXOffroad fan. Has OnX made that many improvements that make it a better companion than it once was (I was a subscriber a couple years ago and frankly not that impressed)

[@AustinH7]

Happy 4th! 🇺🇸

[@TrailRecon]

Happy 4th of July!

[@NixonBurt-h6y]

Hi everyone, whoever is reading this just wants to say that we are all praying for each other that everything will be OK and that you will shine like a rising star with great success and wealth

[@TheStoryTillNow]

Reliving this is making me want to go back so bad!

[@TrailRecon]

Heck ya man, we need another Bucket Trip!

[@1870offroad]

6:06 wow I see a Georgia license plate. Someone from my neck of the woods is representing all the way up there!!

[@paolourzi5040]

The super doc on adventure, will you come back dressed in a bear skin?

[@klugger01]

That was a great video Brad, thanks for sharing.

[@WalkNebraska]

Cool that you ran into Kevin (and Caroline) from @LifestyleOverland (my wife is a patron of that channel). Just discovered your videos and have been enjoying the trip up to the Arctic Circle. Beautiful journey. Thanks for the videos! 👍

[@mandbhomestead]

Master Chief, thank you for the great videos you and your family have and will make. I have to ask, how do you attach the patches to the roof? Thanks. Keep up the great work and thank you for your service. Ken (former Navy)

[@plainairbarnettsoutdoors]

What a contrast to California

[@PJ-vs8dy]

Wait, at 13.57 there's you two sitting having your meal, so who's the big dark shape sitting on the branch behind Shawn's truck ?. Can you add sasquatch to your list of wildlife sightings 😮

[@deanotto1130]

Luck that wasn’t a sick or injured starving Bear! I thought when in bear country you kept your food and prep and cooking away from camp? That momma bear probably smelled your cooking for miles and came in for a meal.

[@randytaylor1814]

Whitehouse and Dawson city ....food smells bring animals to check out leftovers

[@markrigney4372]

You should've done a few fly fishing lessons and got some gear before you went. You would've changed your KZbin channel from trailrecon to trail and fly!

[@USNRET]

How do you like the Gladiator? I’m thinking about getting one. Currently own a 2012 JKU.

[@13MAM13]

16:58 so disappointing

[@yukonkev]

So funny you talked about the Welcome to Yukon sign, as it's top news right now that they are replacing them all. One is indeed going to be moved to the signpost forest in Watson Lake dor posterity.

[@flyfisher530]

Brad that lake was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, just incredible views in all directions. Thank you again for the opportunity to camp with you after OXPNW, you are the real deal both on camera and off. Happy Trails! 👍

[@scottymac5174]

Were you able to get a Canadian fishing license before you started your trip? I like to do a lot of fishing here in the states, but every state has its own license. It makes it hard (and expensive) to plan a trip and want to fish along the way.

[@KingLuis1985]

So how many animals have you seen for the first time on this trip? Think you are at 3-5 now no?

[@piotrksciuczyk9497]

Yukon is amazing 😍

[@wt9653]

During the winter solstice, the Sun comes up at 10 Am and sets at 2 Pm.😮

[@JasonYoder]

Brad, are you carrying your side arm in Canada? I'm looking at making that trip up there and just wondering about protection from the grizzlies. Thanks Brother and be safe.

[@Hotspur37]

Hand guns are restricted in Canada you are not allowed to bring them in to the country. If you get caught at the border, it will be seized and not returned, and you can be denied entry. Certain Long guns are permitted, but you need to make a prior application and have all the proper documentation. Bear spray and mace may also be considered illegal as well so best to check prior to travel.

[@KJsProjects]

Sean, it's pronounced "BaTAvEa".

[@notaspectator]

Is it possible I saw your trailer around July 21-22 at a gas station toward Dawson?

[@robwilliams287]

you coulda stopped by Dan Hurds place on the way and you could have done a joint video while he tought you how to pan.

[@spikestubbs210]

Brad, can't find the new percolator in your store anywhere.

[@bladimirmontesinos4522]

12:46 man... That place is out of this world...

[@ohnoadventures]

👍👍😁🇺🇸

[@bntravelin2]

Did you bring any dehydrated food as back up? Have you thought about an extend fuel tank mounted under the bed of the truck?

[@TrailRecon]

No dehydrated food, but I brought a few cans of soup. We had our fridges pretty well stocked. A long range tank would be a great option, but my custom exhaust doesn't allow for the tank fitment.

[@markperza384]

Great video Brad!!

[@TrailRecon]

Thank you!

[@rickpartlow534]

Don't know why you wouldn't want to see a grizzly. You're in a truck. Do you think it's going to push your vehicle over like a monster movie?

[@ronaldwilton7150]

Loving your adventure! Brought back memories of our trip through Dawson City and the Yukon in 2010!

[@brunnie]

Wow!! To see AdventyresofAplusK's sign, and then Kevin ... small world. Thanks for the trip, I can't wait to see what is next.

[@jamesoldman3021]

Grew up in central and northern B.C. First trip to Dawson City was in 1958 then I worked two years in the area early sixties. Spent a good portion of my life in Northern B.C. When you mentioned how late it stays light I have to tell a little amusing story on the other end of the scale. First time I was in San Diego middle of summer and it got dark so early. I couldn't believe it. Eight o-clock and dark! As a young kid was use to going to bed in daylight during the summer. Relations we were visiting was playing with their kids and thought for sure would be in serious trouble getting home after dark:)

[@mikelanzafame3401]

Don’t season the eggs until they are cooked .

[@Matt02341]

I just want to add my comment to all those as well. Beautiful content Beautifully captured wonderfully presented So glad you have a telephoto lens. Growing up on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, will you be staying in the protective cage while Sean wrestles with the bear? lol 😂

[@stoyasmussen5831]

Brad I would put my pack on and hike to the top !

[@NeverlandAdventures_]

Sign post is worth the stop. Got a couple stickers in there from my motorcycle channel, Pete’s Moto adventures. Yukon was my favorite area.

[@michaelbesant725]

Hey Brad..long time viewer here. I am not sure if you have been asked or not, but did you have any reservations about bears while you were camping in remote parts? I am planning to do a similar adventure and my only anxiety is about sleeping in a RTT. I know I will have plenty bear spray in the tent. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

[@Matt_Hatt3r]

I've enjoyed following along on your journey! Shawn's videos were neat, but very brief (not much detail) and I really like seeing the full color of the scenery in your videos.

[@annsan6499]

“Man, I love this planet.” 🥰

[@hankadlev173]

Beautiful trip Brad! Thank you for sharing your joy with us. I've been watching for a long time and it is clear that this was a special trip for you and I can totally see why.

[@justherb666]

Ansel Adams was a photographer…😉

[@danielstevens3869]

My bucket list trips is going coast to coast, one on I80, the other on Highway 20. The other is to meet you and go offroading sometime.

[@vernvartdal6479]

Great shower next to the sign forest at the rec center. Loved the Yukon sign. I stopped at Jade City. There was a fire crew in there. I just loved the trip. Lots of wildlife. I think about it all the time and long to be migratory.

[@stangodsey9204]

Wow what a dream trip so beautiful

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Thank KZbin every day fellas. Y’all got it made 😂😂😂stay safe

[@scotteramsey]

Really surprised you didnt bring Marco with you.

[@fscottgray9784]

Elk Steak, reminds me of the movie Jeramiah Johnson when his his trapper friend why do people eat beef when there is perfectly good elk.

[@robertfleagle4250]

Another great vid and beautiful views. You hit the nail on the head when you said "I love this planet". So awesome

[@Mikey_556]

I was wondering when you and TSTN would link up with LSO kevin

[@JennyLong-nj5xe]

😳 two baby grizzly cubs! Yeah get out of there quick before mama comes at ya!!! 😂

[@Kruelty175]

Thank you sir I really enjoyed the history narrative of the video makes for very interesting content. /tips hat

[@northerntoyota7584]

Awesome video. I laughed at the Canada tire! Canadian tire, a place where us Canadians spend many hours.
