☺ ABOUT THIS SERIES
In this series the Royal Enfield Himalayan is ridden roughly 2,000 miles (3,219km) to the northern coast of Alaska to the infamous Prudhoe Bay and neighboring Deadhorse, AK. At 70°N latitude, the "Top of Alaska" can be an unforgiving place, especially in late-summer and early fall when the weather abruptly shifts as the seasons fight for dominance. Winter of course always prevails over summer and fall. Snow, slush and ice were in fact on the itinerary for this adventurous trip.
As my first "true" motorcycle adventure, complete with hundreds of miles of gravel and mud, both the Himalayan and I were t pushed to some limits, if only briefly.
Join the ride and see for yourself how the Royal Enfield Himalayan holds up to a first-ever attempt at reaching Prudhoe Bay, one of the most northerly area accessible by road in the world. Expect to see some wonderful scenery, spectacular wildlife, and many friendly faces as the adventure unfolds.
I'd like to say a special thank you to Mosko Moto for helping me outfit my Himalayan with their adventure gear that truly sets the standard for soft motorcycle luggage and equipment. You guys are the best! Thanks so much!
Man, your place is just awesome! That Cabin... just...WOW!
Good morning Internet! Shoutout Itchy Boots! I also watch her videos. You guys are amazing!
Just shared your comment with my wife. Love your enthusiasm! And thanks for the compliments Edmund. 🙏
Cheers from Alaska!
Instablaster.
Yay Justin’s back, I was starting to get a little concerned, it’s good to see your still alive 😊
Alive and well and looking forward to a busy summer! Thanks Stephen!
Dude, don't make me wait 5 more months!!! I'm loving your videos. I've been in that part of the world once and am really missing it. Stuff like your videos is all I've got right now. So keep them coming!
Will do Nate!
I'll be working on Part 3 this evening.
Thanks for watching and stay safe. 👍
Brother...I was literally waiting to see Alaska from your videos. It was love at first sight of your 1st season. I could see a male version of Itchy boots in you.
You have amazing presentation, technology to enrich viewers experience and more over RE Himalayan!!!!
Looking forward to to see more of this adventures ♥️
Take care! Ride safe!
Comments like this get me motivated to knock out the next part! I'm on the job. Also beginning to build a new PC (piece by piece) to improve productivity.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers from Alaska!
@@KARMAkazeMoto kasa ahes
WOW lots of mommas with calves . Nice when dinner self delivers to the front door !
🥩
Hahahahaha! You know, I had a premonition you were about to release another Vid just yesterday!
I’ve always believed we’re all interconnected and interdependent anyway so I wasn’t that shocked to see the notification.
Great cabin Justin, great place to escape too, man those grizzlies are huge!
I watch “Itchy Boots” too, and after watching her for a while it suddenly dawned on me that I’d met her in New Zealand! Pre bike days.
In a car park at a little church at Lake Tekapo a few years back now, crazy, but something made me remember her for more than just a fellow traveler.
Life’s a trip isn’t it!
That's awesome! I agree, people often tend to be on the same wavelength.
That's cool you met Noraly prior to her CZcams stardom. Such a coincidence.
Thanks for writing Peter! Hope you and your friends/family are all doing well.
You need to have more premonitions. Maybe every other month. I've had dreams about people and I would meet them later on. Strange how things work. Vaughn
This was absolutely beautiful and a joy to watch.
Stay safe.
Very nice to hear. Thank you. 🙂
Waited so long for a new video! You have a stunning playground in the wilderness and your cabin there is amazing! I only can dream of it.
But now I'm also a lucky owner of a Himalayan and ride it across the Alps. It is so much fun to ride.
Hey, I hope you're fine and in good health! I look forward to your next video! Don't let us wait for such a ong time again!😉
I'm so glad you've been enjoying that bike! I worry someone will watch my videos, buy one, and be disappointed. So that is good to hear. And the Alps! Fantastic!
I'm working on the Part 3. Probably I should stop writing people and get it done. But one more response can't hurt! 😀
It's very impressive that you built all that by yourself with little help👍
Thank you. One nail at a time! 🙂
The task of finishing the Cabin, the Wildlife, and the View of Denali! :-)
No wonder it took you some time to get back and post some videos for us to enjoy!!!
Thanks for understanding. 😀
Denali area is awesome. The lynx across the road from prosecutors has the best pizza in the gulch. My wife and I worked for Denali Jeep Excursion. We love Alaska!
Living close to nature that feels so satisfying.
I agree.
Justin, I was so excited to see your cabin. Also really glad you are making ride videos again. Thank you!
Hey, thanks Eric! Hope it didn't disappoint. This winter I was out there for a least 3 months and the place is nearly finished off. But then I'll just go start a a guest cabin to keep myself busy. 😁
Welcome backkkkkkkkk! Did i already said you live on paradise ?!! YESSSS! Cheers mate!
Hey, good to hear from you! You can bet I'll visit your channel soon to see what you've been up too. Hope you're well. 🙂
@@KARMAkazeMoto i hope you are well too Justin :) hugs!
I love your cabin. I've been a city slicker my entire life but now I'm at the point where I'm tired of the hustle and bustle. I admire the life you get to live very much.
Thanks!
Never too late to spend more time in the peaceful outdoors!
Merry Christmas!
Hola Justin !! Un saludo desde la Patagonia, el extremo sur de América !! Muy lindos tus videos y las imágenes. Se porta muy bien esa Himalayan .- ( Hello Justin !! A greeting from Patagonia, the southern tip of America!! Very nice your videos and images. He's very good to do that Himalayan) .-
Fantastic, you’re back. Can’t wait to see some more motorcycle camping from your beautiful part of the world.
Camping starts in the next episode, which I'm currently working on and don't intend to take so long to put it out. 🙂
Good to hear from you again TF! Hope you're well!
I have a Belikin Beer t-shirt. I'm told the beer is excellent.
Hi Bud, wow... You have been a busy fella. Amazing work, I have some idea of the skill and effort required to pull that off. Kudos man.
Health to enjoy for many years.
Great video as usual. 🐺🦌🦅🐿️🌲🌲🌲🌲.
What a place, I really envy you Justin apart from the bears. I'm thinking of getting a himalayan so I follow Noraly and so found yur posts. I'm blown away with your video's and you obviously know your stuff. Keep the video's comming. Dave (Scotland)
First of all thank you so much for most awaited video on CZcams...
Really appreciating your efforts on this video...
No words to describe it...
But yeah may be the time you took for this post says everything about it...
Most Fascinating and Amazing Videos ever guaranteed by you...
This CZcams deserves you a lot and that Himalayan too...
Keep up the good work Justin!
Be safe out there Brother...
KARMAkaze Moto is much more interesting than Itchy Boots... ;)
Till then will wait for your next post...
That is a stellar compliment Kiran, thank you so much. Made my day.
Part 3 is in the works. Stay tuned. 🙂
Rightly said bro, Karamkaze Moto has the most technically good videos, than any one else...deserves a lot more....Love you Justin....Can't wait for the next ...
Hell yeah Deschutes beer! One of my favorite breweries here in OR. Solid beer. Also loving that cabin, you're living my dream right now!
It was worth waiting that long for this video 👌
The cabin is beautiful. If I ever vis US and Alaska I would love to stay there. You did a good job.
Hey, thanks man! That's a great compliment. 🙏
Such an awesome cabin Justin, fantastic place to escape the rat race. Loved the music in this video 👍
Thanks! I love it out there. Very peaceful indeed.
Thanks for noticing the new music choices for this series. Even with a modern somewhat electronic twist, this whole series utilizes more classical stringed instruments and piano.
KARMAkaze Moto yeah, loved it. It’s the sort of music I’d listen to chillin out so to speak. I like to add a bit of electronic tunes to my stuff albeit youtube freebies. Good stuff mate .
Thanks Jason!
Yup, I listen to some of that in the shower.
All my music was purchased this time from Soundstripe.com. TONS of great music on there.
I struggle to imagine what it would be like to drive through the swampy stuff to your cabin during wet years. and the bugs. Great video by the way.
Thanks PassinThru. Yeah, it's been a struggle during heavier rains. Never seems to get too buggy though. Not sure why that is. I'm out here right now actually. Mostly frozen ground, so pretty easy going, even if it was a bumpy ride.
Thanks for writing!
Got my wife to watch the two videos since we recently went to Alaska. She’s not a motorcycle person, but loved the scenery. She only had one question about the cabin. WHERE’S THE BATHROOM. Typical non- camping woman. But I told her that I would ask. Thx
Ha! Glad you both watched. Always a little something for everyone in my videos. Well, I aim for that at least. In the end it's just the story as it unfolds.
There was an outhouse to the left of the cabin. I did point it out and talk about it originally. Edited it out. Too much talking. You see it briefly before I show the solar panel and water tank.
Nice to see you back missed your videos.
Nice to see you. Superb cabin. Many beautiful moments, but one of my favourite was your plucking the blue berries. Brings back alot of memories. Keep going. Be safe. God bless you Justin.
Beautiful video. It is not just the motorbike and the wonderful places but the desire for adventure and the charm of the journey that fascinates those who follow you. We are all with you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Justin, the cabin rustic almost all local supplies to build it with a touch of Tech the bluetooth speaker setup was a good choice , simply no messing about with externals ,I am doing this with my garage/Man-cave this summer just like spending time working on my vehicles, I have been a Itchy Boots fan almost from the start and have seen every season 2 video and now almost every season 1, she will get to Alaska in the future to meet up with you and do some of the best riding in North America and sure you will show her lots of great spots, your trail cam picked up your muscle bound neighbour wandering around and his food entourage only a day behind him lucky them, My friend is in charge of animal control/wildlife from where he lives in Thompson Manitoba to Hudson Bay , a very large area and he told me about a mother moose with 2 rather large calves wandered into Thompson and the 3 of them bed down in someones back yard who were away on holidays and a Grizzly he guessed picked up the scent trail and found them and killed one calf and came back a day later and killed the 2nd, just crazy, so i can see why you are always alert and carry the necessities at all times, i know it takes a large Calibre and a steady hand to take down a Grizzly or Kodiak , my buddy hunts black bear here in Manitoba and uses a 308 , he says he tries his best never to shoot a sow with cubs, tries to hunt the males he says, i was glad to see the notification , you finally came up for air as they say, cheers 👍
Thanks so much for all the feedback. I love that you picked up on the details. Sounds like you made it through the whole video without getting bored to death. 😀
Right now I don't have any plans with Noraly, but you are correct I'd show her the hotspots. You know though, that's not her style. She likes searching and exploring on her own. So don't expect us to team up for a ride. She is one independent lady. 🙂
@@KARMAkazeMoto yes she is independent, I guess you might meet up to say hello, looking forward to the next video
Congratulations for a man who claims not to be a carpenter you did amazing job
Bro thank you the Wait is over... Its been Five Months yo..@KARMAkaze Moto Bro:)
Has it really been that long? Wow! Time is flying by.
I hope this episode of the trip was worth the wait. And I'm pretty certain the next one is coming up quickly.
KARMAkaze Moto yes bro.. after yours and Itchyboots Noraly I booked a Himalayan BS6 two days ago.
SUV passed you @ 22:50 then got pulled over by police. Nice cabin setup. Thanks for showing and safe riding.
Glad you caught that! 😆
Thanks for the cabin compliment. Much appreciated. 🤝
It's like Christmas... been anxiously waiting for your video ever since I can remember
Next one coming along sooner, I promise! 🙂
Good to see you back Justin!
Good to be back. Time sure was getting away from me for a while there. Hope you liked this episode.
That footage of all the animals was amazing - thank you
Glad you liked it! Always fun to see what the cameras capture while I'm away.
Nothing new so I'm rewatching old episodes. Couldn't believe all the wildlife. Beautiful! We built a cabin in the middle of BC 40 yrs ago, 11 miles off the nearest road. Lots of hunters/trappers but no animals.. Very disappointing.
Seeing all your MC gear piled high reminds me of the old tv series, Then Came Bronson.. he had a lone bed role tied to his handle bars lol.. gotta love minimalism.. bring back the 1960s!
If it wasn't for all my camera gear and drones, my bike wouldn't be so loaded. You can tell by my camping style I too prefer to go light. Once hiked the Appalachian Trail with a 30lb pack for the 5.5 months of backcountry travel. Shot everything on a single 35mm camera. Good times. Simpler times.🚶♂️🏕
@@KARMAkazeMoto you're pretty amazing.. I can't imagine hand bombing all the building materials into such a remote site.. that would be a feat in itself. You make the energizer bunny look lazy!
😆
I'm glad all that earlier hard work is behind me!
This cabin is so rad congratulations for the great job.
Thanks so much! Put a lot of effort into it over the previous winter, like the rear deck railing and cedar shingles on the upper back are done. It's nearly complete.
At some point I'll show an update.
Take care!
Hi Justin no explanation really needed but nice in these times we do care .....now between you and noraly how many himalayans have been purchased???😉😉😉 they should be lining your pockets but mebs not the point from your behalf but ooooo be nice!!!cheers from dave UK..
Welcome back! I’m sure Noraly will visit this Cabin soon. 😅
Good to be back.
Now that would be something. 😆
Awesome to see another video from you, Justin....looking forward to the rest of this series for sure! Need to upgrade some of my gear, so will be sorting thru the links you've provided, tomorrow. Enjoy the remainder of our short Spring....ride safe!
Hey Alan, good to hear from you. Hope you're well. Enjoying Spring right now from the cabin actually. Lots to do before everything gets overgrown.
Glad to know the gear list will get some use. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
Great to see you back on the road. Awesome wildlife shots! :D
Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't believe all the wildlife this year. Incredible!
Hope you're doin' well!
Im doing well, lockdown coming to and end next month then back out on the bikes 😀😀😀 take care mate! Enjoy z few beers at the cabin
What a great looking bear. It looks very healthy but their hair seems very short. Most of he Grizzlies around here are shaggy.
Great to see you back. Cabin is beautiful. Would appreciate some video of you working on it and chilling. Just plumbed in a cast iron bath and sink and was proud of myself until I saw what you had made:-)
Oh long time.. Nice to see you...
Good to be back. 🙂
hi justin thanks for mentioning our country name INDIA it feels proud to hear from a western guy..
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Glad to see you again Justin. My phone went for a swim a few months ago and I lost everything that wasn't on a disk. About three weeks ago I finally remembered the name of your show. I am excited to see the rest of your adventure. Take care. Vaughn
Good to hear from you too. Bummer about that phone though. I'm planning to get the rest of the ride out quickly. Just need to maintain my current pace. Buying a house and moving at the same time though. Going to be a busy summer!
Cheers!
Fantastic,great to see you back 👊🏻
👊 Thanks! 🙂
I was about to call S&R.. Where's Justinnn! 😲 He's not lost, he's chillin in Prudhoe Bay.. Cool!
😀
Good to see you back after a long time. That's a great cabin you have there. Regards and best wishes from India.
Thanks you Aman. All the best to you as well. 🙂
@@KARMAkazeMoto pleasure is all mine. Ride easy, ride safe.
Nice video. Been too long between warm drinks. Love the wild life footage. Looking forward to part 3.
Glad you liked that. I was a bit stunned to see how much the camera caught.
P3 is in the works. 🙂
Good to see you back. Missed your videos.
Hey, thanks! More to come.
awesome video Justin-Thank you for showing us your splendid cabin-well done you! Great live cam in the woods footage of the bear's & the Moose etc. I suspect they knew something was different however they didn't interpret it as a threat.
I think your trail cam could be it’s own CZcams channel. I’d be all over that.
That pretzel and beer hit the spot I bet!
What a lovely retreat! Wonderful reward for all you hard work I’m sure.
Very true. 🙂
Just ordered the socks, hope there as good as you say. 👍🥃🏴
I'm confident you'll like them. They're all I use all winter long for skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing... you name it. Oddly, they aren't that thick so your boots won't feel too tight. I've wrote off cotton years ago. Never touch the stuff.
You'll have to give me some feedback after you use them. 🙂🍻 Cheers!
Just noticed this. Welcome back Justin! I guess I didn't have my notification button enabled. All fixed now. Can't wait for your additional updates. Makes me really miss Alaska.
The next part is almost totally complete. However, on the spur of the moment we bought a new home and in the middle of renovations now. Everything's a mess. I'll try to get it wrapped up for next weekend. 🤞
Hi Justin, your videos are really good. Your cabin is great, and the wildlife from your gamecam is really interesting. My family (and me) loved the bears and other animals. Thank you for all the work that you put into making these videos. Regards from the land downunder.
Im so glad that you are back! You were sorely missed!! Hope u have an awesome summer! Cheers from Argentina!
Thanks so much! I'll try to keep it up.
Stay safe and healthy down there my friend. 🙂
Hi Justin. Long wait between videos but worth it. Thank you. Really disappointed that my Alaskan holiday this September has been postponed due to Covid-19. Stay safe. From Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🦘👍🇦🇺🏍️
That is such a disappointment. I hope you're getting things sorted out for a redo.
Glad you liked the video. Cheers from the cabin!
Welcome back! And a great video to do it with. Any time I hear anyone complaining about 'British weather', I'll send them to this video 😆
Been a long wait but well worth it. Great stuff. When i look at what you can do, where you can go and how you can do it and compare with what i cant do in restricted over populated england i may as well be looking at adventures on a different planet. Anyway rant over, from a fellow himmy owner. Keep safe and keep em coming.
I’m impressed by your cabin. You’ve done a great job. I’m jealous. I love your trail cam too!
Awesome cabin Justin. The bear and the moose wow.
Consider maybe to buy a silent ptz cam. With remote control. That will be amazing. You really invested a lot of work. Impressive. By the way where is the lady D?
Have fun see you.
Big brother, really good to see that you are still riding the RE Himalayan.
Ride hard, Ride Safe. ❤️👍👍
It's nice to see a video again from you KARMAkaze and Justin. Your video skills are getting to be top notch and I hope you get to collaborate with Noraly's Itchy Boots if she gets near your neck of the woods! I enjoy your channel every bit as much as hers!
Thanks Marc! Awesome Feedback.
I'm rollin' on part 3!
Glad to see sign of life buddy. Hope you and yours are well.
Yeah, I had a lot of priorities to tackle these past few months. Been a challenge, but looking forward to the rest of summer. Dee and I are well, all the extended family too. Hope you're doing good as well!
Hey Justin, I was getting a bit worried about man.
Great new video. Loved the animal stuff, awesome.
Luv the view from the new go pro position.
Look forward to number 3.
Take care out there
Thank you sir! Appreciate the positive feedback.
Got bad news about the new camera view. My plastic bracket broke. Heating it to make the bend also made it brittle. Fell and snapped the morning after I arrived in Fairbanks. Back to the side view!
Sure it looks like you're looking over my shoulder, but at least the windscreen isn't blocking and view of the road.
KARMAkaze Moto That is bad luck, such a shame. But hay ho, the side view is good too so everything is tickerty boo, right?
Take care Justin, looking forward to your next video.
@@mrgrizzlyrides yup, all's well.
Hey Justin I am so fascinated by Alaska and am getting to motorcycling being an indian my bias is for Royal Enfields, it is a cult back home haha. Your channel brings everything together for in an entertaining and adventurous way. Thanks for your travel and for takings us along the way.. cheers and ride safe!
I love you comment! Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback.
Cheers from Alaska!
Hope you're safe and in good spirits my adventurous friend. Winter is coming, snowladen roads. I assume no biking. Adventures will be via 4x4 or 6x6. Good luck at work, tc
Can't wait for part 3.
Beautiful video... Thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure! Thanks SA!
Great video, well worth the wait. What a beautiful country.
Thanks so much! Was worried people would get bored on the cabin bit. Good to hear it was appreciated.
Next one is coming up more quickly than that last. 🙂
nice place . put security bars on those windows . love the wildlife iam thinking to visit ak in summer . i live in so az high desert . i would cut down the weeds make nice trim yard .
Please keep on making more contents. We hope and pray this pandamic will end soon and move on with our lives.
Best wishes!
All the best to you too!
I missed your videos after the himalayan purchase and ride to your home, that was awesome 🍻 and your cabin is just out of this world and out in the nowhere . Just love your content 👍👍👍😍
Huge thanks, James! Really appreciate the feedback. Will be having Christmas at the cabin in a few weeks. Can't wait. 🙂
Hi Justin just now I saw the whole video it was amazing, for sometime I felt even I was their with you hope someday will be their....
I always hope people will feel like they're along for the ride. Thanks for the feedback, and for sure try to do a trip some day. 👍
Oooh I don't know how I missed this upload, I'll click the bell. Awesome footage! That bike sure is tempting to acquire; The Motorcycle Shop in Anchorage seems to be a RE dealer now, but as with all things in Anchorage the Royal Enfields are 1200 or more over MSRP, so :(
That guest cabin for two that would at this time sleep one? That speaks to me on a spiritual level qq
Looking forward to the rest of the trip!
Yup, just saw my first Himalayan cruise through Eagle River a few days ago. I was both happy to see one and a little sad my Himalayan wouldn't be so unique anymore. 🙂
Working on Part 4. A lot going on, but I'm focused. Hope you have some good summer plans in the works.
That’s a cool trip. I was lucky to visit that far north one time. I worked on a radar up in utqiavik a while back. Would love to do a motorcycle trip around Alaska someday
It's always so amazing to be in such remote places.
I hope you pull off an AK ride. Make it happen. Cheers!
Install a 16-tooth front sprocket. Transformed my BS4. Safe travels.
I'm interested. What was the outcome for you? Lower RPM on highway?
KARMAkaze Moto 4500rpm at 100kmh instead of 5000rpm. No discernible drop in acceleration or low-down pulling power. Still averaging 31km/litre fuel consumption. I also added a K&N air filter, Lextech muffler (6kg weight saving) and a PowerCommander ECU. In standard trim the fuelling was appalling. Hunted on overrun, and stalled on a closed throttle. Brilliant now, and even delivers a slight push in the back on acceleration. PS: Your videos, and those from Itchyboots, were the deciding factors in my purchase of a BS4. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Australia.
@@enceetee2645 that's great we encouraged you a bit on buying the bike. Sounds like you've turned Himalayan ownership into quite a hobby. Let's face it, customization and tinkering are all part of the hobby. 🙂 Sounds like your rig is pretty tricked out now.
KARMAkaze Moto Yep, it’s where I want it to be now. Major step change from a Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 GT, but I am enjoying the offroad capability. Also lifted the lower front guard and removed the top guard. With some gentle polish and elbow grease the graphite tank is now high-gloss black. Much improved appearance IMHO, but aesthetics are subjective. Ride safe.
Good day from AUSTRALIA well dun the cabin looks great. Love the area and your videos try to stay dry and ride safe till the next time.
Thanks so much Erik!
Same for you, stay safe (while simultaneously having as much fun as possible). 😁
Cheers from Alaska!
Justin I was searching you from long time, good to see you back.👍
Fantastic to see you back on Justin it’s been a long time waiting for this second instalment. Looking forward to part 3 👍🏽👍🏽
On the way! Stay tuned. 🙂
Great to see you back. Locked down here so seeing your latest trip is very much appreciated. Love the cabin, don't know if I could live with the wildlife - I think midgies are the biggest beasties I want to come across 😁
Thanks!
I don't blame you. I had a face-to-face with a sow and three cubs not long ago, and the situation went smoothly. But wow, it is no joke. People need to be in the right mindset out there. I find myself constantly listening, looking around before I walk off the deck, carrying the bear spray, etc. It's not for everyone. Oddly, the mosquitoes out there aren't too bad. Go figure.
Beautiful cabin. You are an amazing videographer, keep it coming. Enjoy the REH. They've released the BS6 (the latest emission compliant) version here in India. Initial reviews are good. Better than BS4 (India skipped BS5).
Hi from Ireland. Great video and great to see animals we don't have in this country
Thanks Bob! Glad you liked it. I'm sure there are a ton of people that'll skip my video when they realize it isn't non-stop riding action, but I prefer to make something for people like you that appreciate the full story and details. I hope you and family/friends are all well in Ireland. Cheers from Alaska!
Nice to see you back young fella. I too love the idea of the cabin especially some of the visitors. Dunno about the bears though, id be up for clean undies...lol. So how did you go with the Coroney Baloney? Hopefully you were back home before it all went to shit. Looking forward to the continuing mission.
Glad to be back. Needed to focus on business for a while.
Actually I spent a ton of time at the cabin during much of the initial pandemic spread. In fact, logged over 3 months out here (Dee and I are here now) this winter and early spring. Was excellent!
Hoped you faired well!
Really amazing Cabin you built in woods. so close to mother nature. and will be waiting to see more videos of you. nice music in the video. Hopeing to do world ride one day.
🙏 Thank you! We're at the cabin right now actually. It's spring, so all the birds are calling and everything is turning green. Nature's getting busy.
Glad you liked the music. It's different from my other long series.
Part 3 is coming soon. Take care!
I don't usually like a lot of videos on CZcams, but here I left a like mid-way watching video coz,
First, i want this channel to grow and these videos to reach more people out there, and wish you post videos more regularly (understand you've been busy)
Second, I loved your cabin.
Stay safe Justin!!
Phenomenal vids, mate. Both the landscape and your cabin building skills are something else.
I was expecting you to be the only Himalayan contender to dethrone Noraly, but it looks like you´re pretty busy... ;D
Anyway, best of lucks!
Great Video. I enjoyed it as much as Noraly's. Nice work on the cabin. A link to the three burner would have been nice, couldn't make out the name in the video to google.
Thanks Werner!
Bad news on that stove; it doesn't seem to be available any longer. Darn. I bought it off eBay as a new item. It arrived needing a few screws tightened, but otherwise it has been a perfect appliance in the cabin. Easy to clean and can be put away to reclaim all the counter space.
@@KARMAkazeMoto Thanks for checking. LOL
Yah! I just checked your channel the other day wondering when you'd put up another video. Your how-to videos have really helped me with setting up my REH, now that the weather is nicer I'm going for longer trips and I need to figure out my luggage. Love the cabin, what a lot of hard work and its not like you can run to Home Depot if you need something. Thank you for posting, take care!
Finally got motivated, buckled down, ignored clients and got this out. 😁
Glad you found the video useful. That's what I like to hear.
You are exactly right about not being able to run to a hardware store. If I didn't take it with me, it always has to wait for the next trip. That place has been many, many years in the making. Put in 3 months out there this winter. Spent most my time on client projects, but did manage to get a lot done at the cabin. Nearly complete.
Thanks for watching and keep me posted what you end up deciding to do about luggage. Ride safe, but have all the fun you can! Happy summer to you! 🙂
Very cool Justin. Was wondering when we were going to get to see more. My new Himmy is anxious to hit the road, but since any riding for me requires crossing into Canada (I'm in Skagway), looks like my adventures will have to wait till next year. It'll give me some time to get my bike sorted out. Right now I have a battery drain that I can't figure out. Totally stock bike with no accessories, so I don't know what gives... I'm stumped.
Great job on the cabin. You're making me miss my old stomping grounds back when I lived and worked in Denali 23 years ago. I haven't seen "Glitter Gulch" in a long time. Alot more people than I remember. But that pizza place is still there, even though it goes by a different name now (used to be called "Lynx Creek Pizza").
Nice to see that you're plans paid off and you got that bike. I saw my first one here in Eagle River a couple days ago. On one hand I was glad, and on the other I was a bit dissapointed to not be special anymore. 😃
Did you watch my battery video. I had a trouble with that too, eventually. Maybe that video will help a little. I determined that biggest problem was the battery itself.
Lynx Creek Pizza is still there across the highway. 🍕
@@KARMAkazeMoto I did watch your video and I got exactly the same Antigravity battery you did. But it died in the Himmy, and the "restart" feature did not have enough juice to turn it over. I'm actually getting ready to return it. The voltage drops down to 5.0 volts (not supposed to get below 10.0 before the BMS kicks in). So with only 5 volts, it's just not enough to turn it over. It was a big fail for me. I'm back to an old-school AGM battery, but that is losing voltage as well. Scratching my head...
WHAAATT???? yes!!! haha
I'm glad you're alive
Saludos dede Argentina
😆
@@KARMAkazeMoto Good video!!. And I love your videos working in the Himalayan, they help me a lot with my own Himalayan (how I miss it so much because of the quarantine, more than 2 months)
Be safe and keep posting without pressure 😁
Not gonna lie - I am over-the-moon jealous about that cabin.. We've got some wilds down here in Washington state/BC, but nothing like that :)
Never too late to pick up some cheap land and build your own! 😀🔨
Tell you what, buying that property was one of the best things I ever did. Barely had a penny to my name at the time, but little by little it seems more and more worth it every day. Thanks Kerri!
@@KARMAkazeMoto True that! Your own piece of land in a remote place of your choosing, and then to build your own dream....priceless! Well done, Justin!
excellent video, beautiful images and landscapes, the effort and time spent to achieve a high quality edition like this is appreciated. thanks for sharing. greetings from Argentina
Thanks Javier! I really appreciate that someone understands what it takes. Hopefully the next one will go a bit quicker though. I should be riding, not sitting the computer. 😀
Cheers from Alaska, and all the best to you!
Your cabin is very impressive, even more so that it is out in the middle of the boonies. Like the game camera. Is your cabin on your property or a piece of property that nobody could get to or care about? What is with the part of the road that had wooden boards laid in tire tracks, but other parts of the road had no boards. I can think of a 100 questions about your cabin and the area that it is in but those will have to wait. As always this is a great start to your video series.
Great to see this video Justin-wondered where you had gone to.
Great house you have built-how did you manage to buy the land? Must have been fun getting all the wood and tools there. A great looking build. And then some riding too. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip.
If you own a Himalayan try riding on the Himalayan. Can't wait to see you There.
Would love to!
