    I’ve been coming to Alaska for about 14 years to visit my son, and to hunt and fish. Eight years ago we bought our cabin at Big Lake with intention of spending two months a year up here, and the rest of the year at our house in AZ.. We fell so in love with AK that we sold the home in AZ. Unfortunately my health as taken a turn for the worst, with very advanced prostate cancer, and now last week I had a stroke, the Drs then discovered my heart is not functioning very well. I’m doing pretty good, still snowmachining, and staying active. I can’t do what I used to do so I really look forward to your videos. It’s like still doing the things I enjoy while sitting in my recliner. Keep doing the things you love Tim, you never know when you won’t be able to.

WE LOVE everything you do and please do NOT consider this a FAIL..... every time you go its a learning curve!!

      I commend you for having the intestinal fortitude to even attempt a trek like this by yourself! I can tell by your videos and explanation of why and how you do things like making sure you have a bottle of propane with you in case your truck doesn't start and your in a remote area where there is no one around. It's a risk but I get why you love it if I lived up there I would probably do it once a year depending on how expensive fuel is at the time. I appreciate you sharing your experience I am into adventures by ordinary hard working people!

    Timmy, i wouldn't worry too much about wet stacking. Semi's idle constantly. The 7.3 in your truck was used in ambulances, etc. that also never shut off.
    Something you might want to consider is a hydronic diesel heater it will keep your engine warm and allow easy starts in cold and sip on fuel.
    Keep on truckin!

      Pretty sure its a DJI maybe a Mini 3 or Mavic, I've got the Mini 3 and its great for stuff like this. Just be careful using it while driving, they are cracking down on youtubers to make an example for other FPV people. If you're the passenger its fine, and it has some automatic following modes but if they think its being operated manually or not within LOS they will start to be jerks so be careful. You'd think not a big deal so far from people but they dont care lol. I love the videos though, great shots and keep trying for the ocean, the attempts have been a blast to watch!

    $7.50 a gallon and am over here complaining about $3.26 Reg and $3.74 Diesel a gallon, Smh. These old fords are tough if you maintain them as supposed to. I enjoyed this immensely, Hopefully you are able to make it next time. Not making it is part of the adventure, i am glad you turned around for your safety. Alaska is God's wonderland. The nature and animals are mind blowing. Animals especially birds are bale to survive those -50+ degree weather? Wow its something to digest when a human like me cant even survive without clothes if its 30 degrees.

    We're in the corner of South Carolina just a few minutes from Georgia one way or North Carolina the other way. My husband and I are enjoying following your adventure on CZcams. Years ago we'd thought of travel to Alaska, but both of us have health that couldn't tolerate it now. My mister was a fine mechanic back in the day and is taking everything about the diesel in, and explaining it to me like our old times and was coffee in hand silent, watching the diesel not starting in the bitter cold at your buddies house, and the loading on the flatbed. It was great to see him so interested again. We're amazed seeing the truck cabin you made keep you so warm and cozy. Dude, thank you so much for sharing this adventure and the music too! It is all about the journey indeed, and everyone you're meeting up there are just such cool folks! Safe travels and thanks again for sharing these real adventures.😊

    pro tip on the coffee my man....don't put it in the pour over right away, get a thermometer and wait for the water to cool to 190 or just below. Than pour it over the coffee....."optimal" extraction temp. Taste is noticeably different. When water is 200 or higher to much of stuff you don't want gets extracted....tastes thin and burnt.

    A 1kW generator would supply juice to your block heater and battery blanket for a fraction the cost. Just park out of the wind and consider a truck skirt to hold in the heat. Some people set up a type of blow torch to get heat to the engine etc. It's like a steel tube and you only run it for about 30 minutes under the engine. You can try it out when you go to Tuktoyaktuk next winter. Kanuck bucks are cheap.

    Dude, you rock! You are one of the coolest, most humble, laid back people I've ever seen. The things you get to do and the adventures you go on are just totally epic. I've just recently discovered your CZcams channel and started following you. Now I have to follow you on other social media sites, because you've made me care about you. I was talking to my friends that I was worried about you (pertaining to your most recent attempt to make it to the Artic Ocean). The CZcams channel content left me hanging. Last I knew, you were spending the night outside Deadhorse and planning to attempt taking your battery powered "track bike" 10 or so miles to the Ocean in stupid cold and windy conditions. I was concerned that I had not seen a CZcams video continuing the adventure. So, now I have to follow you everywhere I can because you've made me care about you. You're a special person. I guarantee you the people that bullied and ostracized you while you were growing up are not as happy and fulfilled as you are. You seem to be an amazing person who I would love to call a friend. I'd love to be right there beside you undertaking, helping, and experiencing these adventures with you; but since I can't, I thank you for taking me along for the ride via your videos. Know that there are legions of your fans and supporters out there that actually CARE about you as a person and not just the content that you create. Even if the content is amazing, and it is, you are more amazing as a human being.
