    In the summer of 2022, my friends and I set out to conquer one of the most difficult overland routes in North America, The Alexander Mackenzie Heritage Trail. In total, it took us 9 days off-road, we crossed 3 deep rivers, we ran out of fuel twice, and came dangerously close to rolling our trucks on a sketchy section of the trail that is almost impassible. This is the full movie edit of our adventure.

    I lived in that area. My family had grazing rights through that area in the late 60s to 80s... that "Tractor" is actually a horse-drawn harvest/mower. One of four we had. My dad had a worker (named Duncan) mowing, and the thing sank up to its axel in mud... so he left it there... Congrats, guys, you found Duncan's Field! 31:57.

    Fun tip, you can use 2 ratchet straps to compress your suspension on the high side of the trail to keep your top heavy rig more level in those bad off camber situations. Attach one end to the frame, go under your axle, (wrapping the axle once or twice helps prevent the strap sliding around) and then hook it back to the frame again. Then you just crank it on down.

His experience and his will makes him an awesome person and an invaluable friend. This trail was punishing but shot out to Teddy for hanging in there. Extremely tough trail that I would not recommend to any novice off roader. You guys need an award of some sort for completing that trail. There is so many questions I have and so much I want to say and commend you guys but my brain is still processing it all! the scenery, the music, the danger the what if's etc. Overall amazing job!

    Always listen to the guy with the tallest tippiest truck that got through the obstacle first. Especially when he clearly designed, modified and built his rig and has been wheeling it for ages. That's who you want along on a trip like this. When he's spotting, don't argue. Especially when all the driver can see is his hood and his legit concern is making a wall of anxiety.

    I'm sure someone has already said this, that was an old mower that could be pulled behind horses or a tractor. I used one to cut the grass out of ditches when I lived in Nebraska. You all are so blessed to be able to do this, I imagine like me there are many who live this thru your videos. Keep on keepin on

      Someone commented that his family actually had grazing rights to that area from the 60's to the 80's, and that it was a horse drawn mower that one of his father's workers got stuck in the mud up to the axle, and it got left there. Insane the level of connection you find on the internet.

    I've been watching Off-Road Adventure for a year now. Recently I watched the owner of FSR Autoworks and he said there are some trails like BUWIS BUHAY TRAIL (Tagalog word - Philippines), what he means is THE TRAIL & ADVENTURE MAY COST YOUR OWN LIFE. I didn't believe right away because I'm no Off-roader & based on the previous video I watched, seems not, but after watching this, yeah, I'm convince now that there are some trails that totally dangerous.

      When I first saw his rig with the homemade snorkel. My first thought was, "This is the dude that's going to be the MacGyver of the trip and be able to guide and fix anything." I could definitely relate to him saying he was beat at the end. Old leaf spring vehicles are brutal on the bumpy trails, when you're trying to keep up with the more modern 4-link rigs.
