Hey Shaun, this comment may be a little different than you're use to. My dad was a enormous fan of yours, to the point he was talking about getting a jeep to outfit for overlanding as he was just shy of retirement. Around the same time my girlfriend and I got into Van Life and started filming our form of adventures. CZcams, for all it's flaws, rekindled the relationship my dad and myself had. It was common ground when it felt like there wasn't much common ground. Last November my dad went into the hospital with Covid, but didn't make it back out. We sped back to California from Utah, making it just in time to see him before he passed. In spending a lot of time trying to understand him in his house, I found your channel and began to binge. May seem strange, and it feels strange writing this after almost a year, but your videos still give me a feeling of connection to him. I hope to one day build out an overland rig to remember him by and continue that connection. His Yellow Lab Chief is now a Van Life/adventure dog living his best life out on the road with us. Anyway, that's the short of it. I just wanted to say thank you for these videos, they've come to mean a lot to me personally. My dad would have loved to meet you.
So sorry about your dad loss. My dad was a Jeep fanatic and loved his 1964 Willys Overland pick-up truck. He passed away before I got my 2020 Gladiator, I know he would have gone crazy about it. Weird how things like this can create a strong bond.
@@sacredshogun6325 thanks for your support! Sorry to hear about your dad too. I'm sure he's watching you enjoy that Gladiator for him. Those old Willy's trucks are so awesome. Sounds like y'all have great taste 👌
Man sean sleeping in the jeep during a storm is like the coolest stuff ever man i live for that , grab some grub from the fridge and throw a movie on the ipad , cuddle up with the pup , while the storm is raging is just the coolest thing ever.. maybe thats just me 🤷🏻♂️😂
In my opinion this is the best channel on CZcams. No bullshit, no fake , no boasting, just good ol boys enjoying life and the trails responsibly. As it should be and as it should be taught to future generations of offroad enthusiasts. Love your bring what ya got and let's have fun attitude.
Hey Shawn brother I can't wait to watch this series, I just rewatched the 1st Mckenzie trail trip that you guys did get ready for this one, I can't believe it Sean you're brought back bronn and the red cherry I can't wait to see them in action again and I see Teddy and the unwinder as well, I can't wait to see you all tear it up that trail together altogether bronze smoking his cigarette and and you guys you know just chillin having a beer It's gonna be an awesome series I can't wait!!!!!
Really happy to see Braun back and glad to see you back in Canada. Really appreciate the thick Forrest’s and muddy trails. I live in New England and it reminds me a bit of what we have for wheeling over here. Would like to see you get over to the east coast in the states at some point.
Man I tell ya truthfully for Alex to drive all the way from down here to you guys...that's a no joke epic trip just in itself. Living in SE Tx myself would love to meet him someday. Keep it up you guys !!! Still super jealous of BC and all its beauty.
@@Alex_from_Texas without specifics here on CZcams comments…about what area are you located…we are just slightly north of Houston along Interstate 69 corridor.
What a cliff hanger! I freaking love The Story Till Now! I'm at my camp spot right now watching. Getting ready to go wheel 5 mile in Utah! Can't wait to see the next video, keep up the good work!
@@nicklange6994 I've only been here a few times now, I love it! Was exploring and found myself at constrictor, attempted to go up and it wasn't long before I had to back down and turn around. Lol definitely not ready for that in a stock Gladiator Rubicon. And I'm always alone and no winch. Goals! I need some wheeling buddies!
I am working as hard as i can to get my first truck. I watch a lot o videos on youtube. To me it seems that every time you go out you go out there to find yourself. Thank you for giving me the chance to dream...
Good video. I did about 2/3 of the trail last year with my son, Jago, in his landcruiser. We cleared a stupefying number of trees as well. River was too deep to cross unfortunately so carried straight on there. It was the week of the heat dome and we ended up having to quit about 50km short when none of our chainsaws would run in the heat, never had that problem before! We'll go back and finish it at some point.
@@TheStoryTillNow The problem with the trail is modernization . A good road to Kluskus that bye pass most of the old trial . As well as no one living at Pan Phillip place or any of the old homesteads. So one goes pass the upper crossing of the Blackwater river in a vehicle
@@darylnelson3026 yeah there’s a lot of bypasses and exits now. We actually took a crazy section past Kluskus that no one does apparently because it’s super dangerous. That’s in next weeks video.
Sean I lost touch with your page for a while, apologies. I just started watching again, man I gotta say your filming and editing skills have came so far. You've done an incredible job with it. The early videos I seen were good filming, but these newer videos are nothing shy of great filming. Awesome job man, keep it up!
On the edge of our seats. Patiently waiting for the next stretch of Alexander McKenzie. We hope to one day be as cool as you Sean! Thanks for all you do!
Shawn if you ever adventure to Ontario, we have some amazing Crown Land trails from easy to extremely hard buggy trails in the Minden and Bobcaygeon area if you are feeling brave.
It COMPLETELY SUCKED that we had to leave. I felt horrible because we were a team, each of us having a role ensuring everyone’s success. That said, we had to leave all our supplies with the crew just in case they needed it. It only took a couple days but I love those guys: Braun, Teddy, and Shaun. Adulting sucks sometimes, but work was calling and we still had over 3 days drive ahead of us. That said, it was an amazing adventure, better than words and videos could convey. We will find ourselves in Canada again-
Hellz yeah! Texas represent! Aww damn… where is Alex from? Looking forward to next week! Keep pumping these quality videos out. They just keep getting better!!!
@TheStoryTilNow, Shaun awesome historical 👣 trail, it's like everyone forgot about the trail, it's awesome you guys following his foot steps, can't wait for your next one, hang loose and keep doing what your doing 👍, stay safe and safe travels brahda 👍 🤙✌ 👊
Truly truly the most epic adventure I've seen in a long time on CZcams mad respect. By the way youmisic choice is always the most appropriate. 👌 and ti.eing when you use it
I only have to say a few things: although I expec-TED this adventure to be awesome, I never knew I'd need a #WallOfTens to chill with the #TrapKing hahahhahahahhahaaa
Another awesome production. Looking forward to part 2. Got a question. How did you seal the tailgate of the gladiator? They're definitely not water and dust proof. Cheers.
@@TheStoryTillNow Ha Ha, I could see that but what model? Any good talking between trucks? GMRS or ? A friend and I had planned to do the Canol Road back when I lived in Alaska. Unfortunately, work got in the way and it never happened. Congratulations on persevering to see it thru.

This is so sweet! I cant wait to see the rest of this series

As always Shaun, you make the best overlanding content on CZcams. It's unmatched.

We can easily arrange that meeting, just say when and where. And yes, the trip to Canada alone was worthy of its own EPIC VIDEO

@@ALongLongWaytoGO Head south and you'll run right into me, as I am where all roads converge.
Glad you guys blazed this trail. Letting trails overgrow could cause closure. Awesome trip
Stoked for this series! Your videos are very intriguing. The way you edit/tell the story is just perfect 👌🏽
I remember watching Expedition Overland travel/re-cut this trail a while back. Now I get to watch your series of on it!
Respect to the boys that stuck together 💪💪
This is your greatest masterpiece yet. The music, cinematography and story line...til now.
Thanks! Part 2 Monday
@@TheStoryTillNow Roger that.
What an incredible adventure, I am like you, I can not accept defeat. I don't blame you one bIt for going back to finish this trail.
Especially for being a Bucket List trail in your own home turf.....
I was really happy to see you guys are from BC and are literally showing my paths where I can take my off Roader.
Great video Shaun! Man what an adventure! Really looking forward to the rest of the series!
Seriously phenomenal capture of this no-joke adventure! Your cinematography is amazing and your edits tie in the story. Love it!
Great trail can't wait to watch the rest. Awesome editing skills feels like a professional documentary.
Thank you!
The Braunrunner returns!
Cinematography is stunning
Ah your jeeps
🫡🤐
What a cliff hanger! I freaking love The Story Till Now! I'm at my camp spot right now watching. Getting ready to go wheel 5 mile in Utah! Can't wait to see the next video, keep up the good work!
Have fun!

Thanks
Greetings from the east coast! Traveling up to Canada, Washington, and Oregon area next year. Maybe I'll see yous guys around!
I am working as hard as i can to get my first truck.
I watch a lot o videos on youtube.
To me it seems that every time you go out you go out there to find yourself.
Thank you for giving me the chance to dream...
Wow Shawn! this video was epic. Amazing work now living near to Canada, I can't wait to start exploring some areas in Canada.
That camp spot by the lake and cabin was pretty awesome. Great video.
Yo, that dude had Bustello coffee, he knows how to overland. Lol
Doesn’t everyone?? #Bustello Glad you caught that-

Thanks Tom!
Huge fan of your work..hats off to the editor
Wish I had known when you were going by, you drove right by my house on the Blackwater Rd. I would have given a wave!!
The cinematography on this one is absolutly stuning ❤
Can't wait for the rest of this well documented series🤙

Thank you!
This trail is literally just hours from home, awesome to see!
I am so excited to watch this series! Thanks for bring us along!
Thanks!
Hopefully there is more than 90% nature shots and yapping and more actual off-roading
@@poweredbyrice5708 I second that. So far from what they've shown, this trail just seems like an overgrown road.
On the edge of our seats. Patiently waiting for the next stretch of Alexander McKenzie. We hope to one day be as cool as you Sean! Thanks for all you do!
Preparation - Six "Ps" will get you or save you. Prior Planning Prevents Piss Pour Performance.

Awesome series! You guys should definitely mention the Aboriginal land you guys are on in these videos, it was right on the sign at the beginning ❤️
Epic music!! Great adventure you guys had!!
Back on track here with this video. Thought we were loosing you to the CZcams elites. 😎
Seriously, I'm excited to see more of this journey.
More to come!
Such a great series! Major bummer the Texas folks had to bail. Looking forward to next week!

Houston baby. You know how we Texans do! Truly, an epic adventure. Can’t wait to get out there to Canada again, even if it takes 3 days to get there!
@@Alex_from_Texas I grew up around Beaumont. Glad to see you out there! Looking forward to seeing more Texas boys in BC
definitely one of the best cinematic offroad adventures yet!
Fck.. This is some real man hardcore shit.
Glad I found this channel, u guys are living the dream..
We have done this on dirt bikes three times
Is that the dog, or a bear in the corner of the frame @ 5:18 😂 Great work as always!
Bear
Awesome ! This trail is definitely on my bucket list! 👌
I went thru 12 litres-4us gal of gas in the sthil chainsaw but only sharpened 1 time thats alot of cutting!🌲😮💨
Braun, you were a BEAST out there, couldn’t have done it without you, especially the boat!!
Ser Braun of the Black Water
Did you see the bear??? Watch at 5:15. Right edge of the video by the water! Not sure if a previous commenter already pointed it out...
Wow! Good eye!! I paused it and couldn't see it. But when I played it you see him running. Thanks for that!
@TheStoryTilNow, Shaun awesome historical 👣 trail, it's like everyone forgot about the trail, it's awesome you guys following his foot steps, can't wait for your next one, hang loose and keep doing what your doing 👍, stay safe and safe travels brahda 👍 🤙✌ 👊
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing work !!
That trail is a beast !!
Now that is what off-road is really about !! 💪🙏
Beast? Other than the river/creek crossing it was just a normal trail
Filming sucka..
It ain't over yet
Gotta get that auxiliary fuel tank for your Gladiator. Transfer flow makes a 40 gallon tank that fits.
awesome video!... thanks for sharing.
Haha I love that Texas shirt 👌👌👌 Heading to Texas in November from here in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Looking to move there!!
Come on down!! I received such a warm welcome in Canada, I know you’ll get the same down here.
Great video as always!
I've had a problem with my Jeep and I haven't gone offroading in a while and if I don't go soon I think I'm going crazy! LOL
Shawn like to see that your with more people this time. Going out with only 2 jeeps other times seams more shaky. Good luck Gully Whomper. Steve
Cool story. I’ll be back for the next part.

Quebec sucks compared to where you are.
Best show Ever 🤘🏻
Super surprised to see Braun making chicken Caesar salad haha. Definitely doesn’t strike me as a salad guy 😂
Gotta eat good to work good!
Awesome work Shaun!
Thanks!
Thank you!
It's weird, how can you have a genuine experience when you gotta record yourself every moment.
I don’t record myself every moment. Or this video would be several days long.
Beautiful part of the world
Awesome on the bucket list!
Hey Shawn enjoy watching your trail videos and big fan of your truck. But I think black colour suits more on the truck. Keep going👍
This video makes me feel like I was there.
Thanks buddy!
Love it! Looking forward to part 2!
Yay! Thank you!
I would love to hit that trail with my Jeep Gladiator! I would get myself in Big Foot mode and tackle that forest!!!
