V4E6: To Skagway for the Halibut

I depart from Stewart, British Columbia, and resume the long journey north to Skagway, Alaska, via the Cassiar and Alaska Highways. On the way, I experience jaw-dropping landscapes, explore Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, pick up some hitchhikers, and try some wonderful new foods!

I am Japanese. I am not good at English. I am always healed by beautiful scenery videos. The vast land of the North American continent has many attractions and is enviable. I look forward to videos with good scenery from now on.

[@jayfoster5756]

Great lesson on respecting the native peoples! Thanks for sharing.

[@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI]

The scene at 4:35 was awesome! So serene and beautiful! Always wanted to travel up in that region.

[@jackbauer9347]

Your content never gets old. The bear shot at the end was cool too. Keep living your dream Brother.

[@hughwolfe1176]

Chris I’m still amazed at the beauty you find on a weekly basis. Being a photographer this weeks adventures offered up a lot of content. I could spend a lot of time in that area waiting for the perfect light etc. thank you for sharing.

[@shurppa64]

Your videos are just as great the second, third and fourth time watching them.

[@mlgomez9644]

Chris, your the MAN! Your attention to detail is incredible! I’m traveling through your eyes. Safe travels until next time

[@tessaburkhamer3856]

Thank's for reminding me how much I enjoy this area of the world. While living in Fairbanks AK my family & I drove down to the lower 48 to MO mind you this was in 1978! What a trip! Whitehorse was my favorite.

[@cherokeebilly69_jeepnwv11]

As always Chris another awesome video. The quality of your videos, and it’s content is like we are there with you. My 12 year old twin daughters and I, love watching you in your travels. We love to Jeep, hike, and Kayak as well... any-who peace, love, and safe travels. 😎

[@truckerrickakamanowar]

Lord Jesus it's a truck fire ...ain't nobody got time for that!!! 😸😂 Love your videos they just keep getting better. So glad I subscribed. You and Ronny Dahl are my faves.

[@jake-watkins]

"Somebody's truck is on fire!" - thanks, you reminded me I need to buy a fire extenguisher for my truck.

[@oysterfleet5669]

Check out Coyote Works. His Jeep burned to the ground. It seems there is or was a problem with Jeeps catching fire.

[@JohnMason-Hill]

Great video Chris. Killer views!

[@tbillington]

Another great video Chris, loved the close up shots of the dirty Jeep. Really tells a story of how far you've travelled. I'm doing similar travel at the moment. 3 weeks around Tasmania in Australia, sleeping in the back of my 4wd SUV. It's a great way to see the world.

[@pluckypurcells]

I want to thank you for the great content. Your photography and perspective is outstanding. Thanks for bringing us along, safe travels friend.

[@AventurasEntresierras]

Addicted to your adventures!! Regards from a spanish jeeper OIIIIIIIO

[@redvette6858]

I recently stubbled across your channel and begin to look at your videos for Alaska. I completed a 14500 mile motorcycle trip from SC to AK June July 2018. Really enjoying you perspective from a jeep. Funny thing is I ate at the same restaurant in Skagway and had the same meal. I'll be riding back up again in 2020. Enjoy your work. Safe travels

[@matthewramirez4670]

Thanks for Bringing us on This adventure to Alaska through British Columbia very beautiful and peaceful scenery and shots through your camera.

[@thomasrsunday8945]

Great message and respect for where you travel and for those you meet. Refreshing to see your videos alongside other KZbin videos chronicling nomadic lifestyles.

[@stevenday8267]

Thanks Chris for taking us along for the ride. Another great episode.

[@barnabyjeans5691]

I was in Skagway last week (cruise stop) and spotted your Jeep in town as we were about to head up the highway for a picture with the Alaska sign. Looking forward to the next video.

[@marcuspaul6635]

Chris, I watch from the UK with no wild camping allowed - you are blessed to have such opportunities. Keep it up

[@jjkillian1456]

Greetings from you biggest fans here in sunny South Africa. Awesome episode Chris, love the area you are in right now, it definitely on our bucket list of adventures still to do. The funniest part of your video this week was when you described the forest fires say "It's 18 August"... hehehe, guess we've just witnessed a video from the future seeing as it's Friday 17 August :)... Save travel and Venture Forward

[@PrestonGladd]

Yeah I was like uhh, what?, am that confused, or is he! lol

[@russrobbins9768]

Great work Chris! You have me.inspired to travel and I wouldn't be thinking this way if it weren't for you. Been following u for awhile and I always excited for fridays when u push your video thru. Thanks pal One day I hope to meet you in person

[@dalrussell]

Another great video! Living the dream.

[@metaxaanabeer]

Way late to this but had to drop a comment on your interaction with the First Nations folks who gave you "permission" to use the land. The native populations, Dene, Cree, Inuit, etc in northern BC, Yukon, Northwest Territories have never signed historical treaties. So yes, you are on un-ceded land despite our roads, our signs, our towns, mines, and even settlement. It really is their land still and despite our inroads up there debilitating game migration patterns, work camps in the oil and gas industry impacting on the female population, etc they still allow us to visit, live and work on their land. Best for them to remind us all, at every juncture, of that. Too many forget that stuff. Your reaction and thoughts were (are) first rate. So glad I found (and subbed) your channel. That whole area is sort of my back yard...if you even plan to return announce it in a future vid and I'll pm you with all the hidey holes and must see stuff I've accumulated.

[@andreasjauss3838]

Always a pleasure to watch your travel episodes - Thank you Chris !

[@nickedshears]

11:41 Leaving us in suspense just as a creeper pops up...

[@terrysennhenn896]

You have the best humor lol.

[@scottdeney5970]

I want to thank you for a wonderful trip.. My Dad spent time up that way fishing in the 50s, I have never gone up that way.... someday. Thanks again.

[@antoncrowley7342]

Great video and amazing scenery! Favorite part though is 29:37, so funny :)

[@ivalterbaptista2305]

Love your videos. Always eager to watch the next one week after week. Keep it up.

[@yari155]

incredible place...don't stop Chris....keep to explore...Regards from Rome!

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Loving your videos mate, Jeeper / KZbinr here in New Zealand.

[@gareman9417]

What a great video! Awesome scenery. Thank you Chris.

[@PostFamilyPilgrimage]

“Welcome to the internet, Alaska, I’m a dork... sorry.” 😳😂😜 love it! I would probably do the exact same thing!!! Ha

[@Mogley2003]

Thanks for bringing us along on your journey. Love watching your videos. Awesome work.

[@brianperticari]

Another amazing video. Great work Chris.

[@Jeepingshort]

Keep the adventure going. I absolutely love the videos

[@charlesdetailn8514]

What a great video!!!!! Thank you for sharing your journeys with us. Stay awesome!!!!!!😎✊🏼✊🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ferlottes]

Wow, this épisode is crazy !!! Thank you !!!

[@walterwillis5351]

Excellent video. Your trip through BC up to Alaska is breathtaking. Someday I will make that trip myself. :)

[@joanlynch9759]

The bridge at around 15:00 is most likely a bridge previously used for the Alaska Highway, and then the road was “straightened” out to be more efficient. I was amazed at how you could “see” where the road used to be, by the cuts through the trees,when we traveled to Homer on MC in both ‘16 and ‘17.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Beautiful scenery, excellent vid!

[@christiankruse5193]

Thanks for the videos! Awesome scenery!

[@thesarge8488]

I was in Alaska may years ago, took my CJ5 from Anchorage to Washington than on to Myrtle Beach SC. It was an amazing trip and I hope one day to get back to Alaska, Great video

[@garylane9615]

Great episode. Looked awesome.

[@swkohnle08]

I really look forward to your videos. Alaska is on my bucket list of places to go. Thanks,

[@ChrisJB84]

Glad KZbin recommended this video. You have a new subscriber!

[@kennethvalerio3282]

Wow sawmill very nice 👍👍

[@mykalbee]

Wow those sights were amazing.

[@DrHughesTN]

killer video this week!...love seeing Alaska like this...cant wait till i get there some day...

[@davegardiner3097]

Good vlog. Hopefully inspires some people to head north. I wish you had paddled boya lake it's awesome. Having been to all these places you are doing well you have stopped at some of my favorites. Juneau is worth the boat ride/day trip.

[@bushcraftoregon]

very nice one; great to follow along with you...actually the same day that you published this time. usually looking at older videos.

[@rdietz68]

17:50 TO 18:02 - Your windshield thoroughly appreciated the bath! I CAN SEE AGAIN... reference - 6:29

[@kanaloa38]

I prefer to cook spam after slicing it thinly. We picked up the spam habit when living in Hawaii years ago. Try it thin next time, rather than chunks.

[@thecrankster4162]

Keep up the great videos..good luck in your journeys, ohh also if you can try to comment on the places that you eat food so if some other people see your videos and are near that place in the future,then they would know how the food and customer service is....

[@montebeerbower7796]

love the journey and thanks for sharing

[@jeepersdelight]

Yes auntie Anne's!! Great installment! Im in MD, family in Anderson Ak. Enjoy the area, every turn is majestic! Btw, 2018 pa jeep show, no bueno. You didnt miss much bro.

[@Topo42mh]

Chris you living in the future... "August 18th"?! Ha. Keep up the great work brother

[@michaelshin69]

Great content. My 13 &12yo girls play Minecraft, piano, violin, cello. I need to convert a school bus and travel before they grow older. Cheers! Thanks for all the work you do. A patreon.

[@revoland]

Not only watching every weekend your latest episode, I also check out the names in google maps to understand where you are very hope to be there too one day, the north looks great.

[@OverlandGeneration]

Yay Alaska!

[@99bounz]

Great vid, love you...

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video, thank you!

[@frontierfan1613]

This episode was truly epic!

[@henryi9738]

29:30 Chris, you're not a dork ; plenty of other KZbinrs do that too.

[@shroomintrucker4766]

Awesome video

[@jorgelrod]

Keep up the good work Chris!

[@charlieporch3181]

Your videos are super. Content is awesome. .

[@uweschroeder]

Loved the "I'm a dork" at the Alaska sign. I did a similar clip a few weeks back at a much less impressive Texas sign - just for my wife since I didn't have the balls to post it publicly :-)

[@augiepagano7241]

Awesome place

[@johannbrummer6764]

your best one yet!

[@stephenrichendefer8782]

Interesting puzzle cache at the sign forest

[@rafaelbin4595]

Nice video! Tks

[@chrisdc1689]

My goodness....Alaska has to be the most beautiful place in Russi- err America I've ever seen.

[@jimellison3358]

It makes me sad to look at your video of Whitehorse when I was young back about 1950 we spent time in WhitehorseIt. At that time there were no paved streets in Whitehorse it was a small town with an airport the railroad was still running out to Skagway and there steamboats tied up along the river at that time to supply down river there were no Road to Dawson and the other small towns along the river and a very large Hudson Bay trading post where you could buy everything from dog sleds, tents and all your needs.

[@UBRLND-X]

Question: how did you handle the cell service for your phone? Did you upgrade your package before leaving the states? I have heard that roaming internationally can be extremely expensive. Might be a good note for fellow travels to consider. thanks

[@phantomrose1999]

Just found your video, loved it ! got your self another subscriber from Sydney, can you tell me what camera you are using ? the footage quality is just stunning...

[@mhammer5]

Hello, just discovered your great videos. I was wondering what type of camera you are using, looks excellent more than most videos on ytube in 1080p60. Thanks.

[@pra3t0rian]

HUGE SHOUTOUT!

[@swimmer8585]

12:36 Quoth the Raven "Nevermore!" or is that a crow?

[@Off-the-Beaten-Path]

Have you a time when you covered all your camera gear? Thx

[@tightlinesgl47]

Chris, you seem to have taken a lot of ferry? Is that expense? Gene

[@ipdjbt]

So, you're not going to elaborate what happened after your hike with Anna and Vero? =D

[@dasgoat76]

Let's just say...Chris needed a sandwich afterward.

[@garymoore3446]

Cool..

[@buildexplore3278]

If you plan to travel through Grande Cache AB I know many places for you to stay. Some of the most beautiful country you will ever see.

[@kennethvalerio3282]

What happened to your table( tailgate)?

[@computersrepaircotesaint-l7407]

nice video

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

When have you used the kayak?

[@MrPerry61]

If you're looking for a stringed instrument that is easy to play and easy to pack consider the Seagull Merlin. It's based a 4 string dulcimer. There are several reviews on youtube. I have almost no musical talent but I can pluck out a tune without even trying.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

And as soon as I ask the kayak is launched.

[@davebailey2296]

Nothing wrong with being a little dorky ever now and then.

[@paulsink2800]

That spam would make a good burrito.

And NO bears?? You lucked, or unlucked, out (depending on your point of view).

You can slice spam and cook it like you would a hamburger that’s how I do it
