Seriously miss this old crew, still hands down the best season. Don’t know how many times I’ve watch the AK/Yukon series.
Rewatching the series and now I have to look for how many times Clay says “It’s A. this or 2. that.” Lol. Love you guys! Can’t wait for the next big adventure
10 years ago, about the time when I started watching y'all. I'm glad you're still going strong.
Enjoy the historic content immensely. There IS more to overland than just driving. Feel sorry for the people so hooked on seeing off road footage, they can't appreciate the other parts of your video.
Sam Walker love your comment. 👍
Totally agree. Nice job on the video guys.
I love the excitement of the older videos. This is what it’s all about.
for somebody such as myself who has no offloading experience whatsoever i find this very enlightening.
So it's been 6 years..... are you now a professional offloader?!?! Did walmart name you employee of the year?!?! Please update us on your offloading adventures.
Another awesome episode guys. Especially liked the part where Clay was sitting the bunker and talking to the camera. Really set the setting right. Thank you.
I appreciate the fact that you all go over the things you do to prepare for trips. Thank you! This is a dream come true for me to do stuff like what you do. You all are awesome to watch. What I would give to join you all!
just discovered this, seems to be one of the best series i've ever seen
just discovered this, seems to be one of the best series i've ever seen. Im excited
12:03 - Despite my grandfather being of age to fight in the World War 2, he didn't. Instead, he worked on the Alaska Highway. Unfortunately, he died before I was old enough to ask him questions like this, and my mom didn't know either. I figured it had something to do with Japan or the Americans looking down the road to a potential conflict with the USSR. Now I know why my grandfather didn't fight in the war. Thanks!
After watching this episode, two things come to mind:
A.) This video series is quite good; nice pacing, storytelling, and the expedition aspect is very compelling; and 2.) Clay doesn't know how to count or number things in sequence.
I just want to say what an inspiration you all are. Ive watched all the videos you guys have a few times and love them all. You guys live a life that I dream of one day doing. Thank you so much for doing these videos. I admire you all. Bravo! Well done! I cant say enough good things.
Having a good laugh when he brought out the citronella candles, right! Deet, deet and more deet. Those mosquitoes have hooks, once they dig in they dont let go.
One thing I would have added to your production is more maps. I like watching these shows and then going onto Google maps/Earth and looking all around the areas.
Alaska is beautiful beyond belief.
+expedition overland. I get to live vicariously through you on this show. Watching your trilogy all over again and love it!! Bad wrecks when younger and now multiple surgeries later I'm no longer able me to do these types of travels. Must add I owned one of the first Toyota 4-runners ever made (collaboration with Winnebago in 1981/82 was actually called the "trekker") and drove it to where no other vehicle at the time could go through the Sierra Nevada's.
We drove from Texas to Alaska in June '13 and the Mosquitos were HORRIBLE the whole time after Kamloops. I feel your pain. The single best part of the Alaska winter is no skeeters
+DrDubzz I grew up in Kamloops; have since moved away though. I've been planning for an Alaska trip for a couple years now...hopefully next year :p
🙂👏👏👏🙏 l like all your expedition but the Alaska/Yukon is amazing!!
funny thing about the bear vs. moose confusion in alaska is that moose are actually responsible for more deaths than bears are :P the more you know...
Have to put in my 2 cents on the bear. Let's see. had to frame by frame this-
Short rounded ears- Brown / grizzly- Check
Ruff on lower neck- Brown / grizzly- check
Prominent Shoulder hump- Brown / grizzly- check
Hard to tell from the angle, but the face looks slightly dish shaped, another brown / grizzly trait.
Can tell from the size it was more timid than you'd expect because it was a younger bear. Griz's are interesting in that it depends on their mood how they'll react to people. Being from MT, you guys know that. I grew up there and have known a griz to move off as soon as it sees you and on another occasion have one refuse to move and start huffing at you. They are very temperamental and unpredictable, yes. But, they are not always aggressive. Especially the younger ones.
Sam Walker seriously you typed all of that just so you can feel important? What are you the griz whisperer? lol. Save it for someone else who likes to hear themselves talking.
i got to say this my fave channel before i go to sleep feel the adventure love it....
Toddy Zilla same here. Clay's narration is soothing and concise.
Awesome expedition, Thank You for the video.
Clay ..... and the xo team .... I am a die hard fan of yours .... I actually started my own overlanding in Sri Lanka but I don’t now see the same excitement and drive in you and the team ... have you and the xo team commercialized as more than you should have or ... I don’t know ... but it’s good that you guys do it as a living now and lot of development has been done ... hope you see my point positively thanks
Beautiful B.C. - make sure to take a dip with the Ogopogo!
pure beautiful souls team ..... !!
whoa you guys just changed my bucket list. sweet job!
Fun times
Greath video. sure lots of people want to be with you in this trip. I am happy for you guys.You got a lot of chance to be able to did this trip. I am desapointed from people who wrote bad commentary about what you did in this film. May be there jalous. I will be retired in 2017 and this will be a place that i will go to see back country. I will use a 4x4 Dodge Ram 3500 dually, diesel, with a truck camper on it. I made lots of trip like north of Québec (Radisson), Nova Scotia, north of Ontario... always in back country, summer or winter. Lots of preparation... We are waiting for your next film. Best regards.

Cool bear sighting! We are enjoying watching this season!
Just discovered this and have been enjoying, however remember with bears (or any wildlife) you're in their home, so don't be so quick to light of "things" and tense up. If they aren't in camp or bugging you...just enjoy.
That bear is thinking man... I have to get a no-tresspassing sign for my property here!
Wonderful series. A+ congratulations, keep up the travels!!!,!
WOW how amazing! great video again! Thank you so much for documenting this! That bear sighting must have been soo freaking cool!
Love it.
Thanks for uploading & sharing, I found this to be a very interesting show & hope to see more soon.
You guys are doing a great show! I enjoy it a lot.
Watched all your videos. Loved and hope to see more in the future. Thanks for your expedition guys.
i love adventure you guys make sense of all what is to be called an adventure of a lifetime....Denis from Tanzania
If you guys want to travel in Canada in the winter get some tracks with studs in them. lol We put screw in studs in our quad tires when we go ice road quadding. And one of these days I'll be getting some tracks.
great testimony
i need friends like you in my life lol omg the thrill and adventure !!!!!!!!!!!
Another great film, awesome country, wish I was there .
Clay used A. and 2. again at 22:05
stupid is as stupid does
Absolutely amazing documentation and history in this. you guys are great. I am envious of your journey, hope to see you on the road sometime.
HAHAHAHA just noticed Clay did his infamous A) or 2) @22:05
Good expedition overland. . . And good toyota very beautiful.
I like Alaska and love adventure! !
Rubber bullets for a bear, and you hope not to make him mad?
I have to support this comment if only to help you in a future encounter. Never ever shoot a grizzly or a kodiak bear with rubber bullets or even a shotgun unless you are using high density slugs otherwise it will be the last thing you ever did. If you are forced into a confrontation with a wild bear your only chance is to outrun it in your vehicles or kill it before it reaches you. Believe me, a grizzly would rip open your trucks like I would a can of coca-cola with a K-bar knife.
First of all, I'm a little surprised they let you into Canada with guns. Second, having worked for a Montana hunting guide, I have to echo what Black Warrior Lures and Skar SC said. You guys are lucky you have yet to meet a grizzly with an axe to grind.
I agree, having lived in grande cache in alberta for several years, which is infested with grizzlies, a bean bag will just piss it off. Bear spray will do f all. I agree that shooing it away is preferable, but if a griz wants something it becomes persistant about it. gunshots are usually enough to scare it away but if it charges you will have little time to do much. food for thought.
Very cool guys!
Love the sound track.
You guys have such a great production!
Very brave and adventurous trip you had... I love all the Episodes. It helps me a lot on my plan for a same adventure.. I am planning to get the 1993 NIssan Terrano and will have a small trip like just 1 week. Im just a student learning to try this kind of adventure... thank you for this videos.
excelent documentary, thank you for sharing with us.
Nice.
Another great episode.
This is sick, glad I found your videos. I wish I could do something like this in my fj someday
Shout out from Bozeman, MT!
Love your episodes guys! Keep them coming! :)
Im actually a liscened mechanic, big offroad guy, Hunter and fisher, most people who watch ur stuff have no idea how difficult the trails are that ur doing or what is involved with your trucks....... Full respect p.s. I have a 96 taco ..... Way better than any jk
Actually, my Rubicon JK would out do all of them Toyota’s easily. Nice rigs, but not as worthy as JEEP JK Rubicon.
That snow, Impressive! I'm from Australia and don't get to play around in it often 😓
Same here in Texas
Awesome series.
I want to go with you guys one time. It looks awe
Good video, keep them coming 👍
good adventure
So as you surely know by now... that was a black bear, NOT a grizzly. Having said that, the photography is great... and the show is fun to watch.
So A and 2 are a result of constipation AND bears, hahaha
A W E S O M E
A while ago I watched a series in which the teams rode around the world (called " the long way round"). You guys should do a similar trip.
Osm love ❤️ from (India)👍
Looks like fun,. Coming from a long distance hiking background it also looks like some city folk decided they wanted to see how much money they could spend glamping.
Man, look at Clay without beard! 🤣 kinda binge watching at the moment 😅❤
So young!
I'm jealous.
Just watched your Bolivia movie, and I can see lots of growth and change in you guys.
power XXD
You can scare midges away (you call it mosquito) You have to buy "AVON dry oil spray" it s the perfect stuff - works in Scotland. Cheers
You guys should post trail and campsite locations for other Overlanders
The bear sighting was a sure nuff reality check.
When is episode 3 out? Great show btw. Adam from Ireland !
I think I would have stopped and sat till it got to be daylight. Might have gotten snowed in but you got to see
I would love to do this, but not in the snowy season!!
That was no grizzly lads. That was a 4 or 5 year old black bear, a grizzly is 2 to 3 time larger and will use your tires as play toys. They are the lion of North America, top of the food chain and utterly fearless.
Ha! I live 15 min north of Castle Rock
awesome Ep. guys. next season NatGeo?
The intro sounded like ice ice baby for a bit lol
こういう事をしてみたいな！！
Lolololololol to funny these guys drove right by my front door in B.C.
Hey! A British Columbia doggy!
Exactly before the comment on 16:30 I thought.... NOOOOOO don't put fire on a jerrycan!!! (unless it's diesel... but still..)
Loving the videos and the adventures. Just wondering what those Amber lights are you have on the truck, very bright!
I am not sure if that was a great idea shooting those banging flairs in the forrest. Even green forrests will catch fire. probably take a little more care next time. But I am still liking your overland. I wish you showed your equipment in detail as you utilise it more. That is a major part of overlanding and seeing it in action more than once.. say in the begining and at the end to see how it fairs etc. That would be an enhancement IMO. Thanks again for the videos!!!
Life with sponsor provided gear. Good job, if you can get it...
Seems like it would be. And I suspect that most of the folks that are whining and upset over it would jump at the chance if they could get it. I probably would.It would allow me to see some of the sights I'd like to see.
Excellent videos! I’m hooked! Please reply ?On episode 2 of Alaska / Yukon. Did you need special permits for the shotguns? If I’m correct, i believe handguns are illegal in Canada. I’ve seen many in Yellowstone as a child. Be safe.
should have fired up the cigars to solve the bug problem
another great episode! what slider are you using? thank you for sharing
Rhonda be smokin hot
when is the 3rd one coming out
Nut Cases. Meant for more the objective 'cases'.
the "bee" was a hornet, basically a big wasp
but nothing compares a wasp sting with a hornets. Hornet's are just disgusting.
yeah they're god awful, not to mention they bite and sting simultaneously and repeatedly.
BunnySk8rProductions Especially when one flies into your jacket when you are on a motorcycle. BTDT
How do you get a gig like this?? Surely you don't pay out of pocket for all this
Unfamiliar with the concept of sponsorships?
pretty sure that wasn't a grizzly. big black bear though
