- I am on day 17 of my adventure up to the Arctic Circle and we reached a point in the adventure that was either going to make us turn around or possibly be able to continue all the way to the Arctic Ocean. I have been filming the entire journey and will share those videos with you all in a few weeks, but just wanted to do a quick update on how things are progressing.

Please always make the videos that you want to make, Brad, including the sitreps. People who complain have no idea what it takes to produce content. This is your channel, my man. Thank you for taking us on the ride with you.
Well said!
Nope don’t like the sitrep and I’m retired from the military. His other content is much better.
@@FJ-lt8oh He wouldn’t be putting anything out until he got back home, if it weren’t for these sit reps. Very hard to be editing meaningful videos while still out on the adventure. So, you either get a taste of things to come, or you get nothing. And you can choose whether not you want to watch these.
@@TheNotSoOrdinaryCarGuymy opinion you don’t have to like it. Just honest feedback back.
Making content is easy. Making _good_ content people want to watch is very, very hard. I make videoa for fun on occasion, and getting out, setting up the camera, doing an obstacle, going back and getting the camera, then editing the content... that's hard.
Thanks for the sitrep, Brad. Those that watched the whole sitrep should be thankful. You did a great job of explaining everything. Thanks for keeping us updated, while leaving us thirsty for the full adventure videos.
SITREPS are good for those of us that want to learn from you. Details matter. Overlanding is a serious undertaking and requires more than just fun. 😎
Sitrep videos are like the build up to the main event video, definitely like how your releasing these out expecially for a huge adventure trip like this. Cant wait!
Love the SITREPS…thanks!
I see Brad enjoying this trip while still getting emotional when talking about heading home or seeing his wife! Fun but exhausting trip I bet! Stay safe Brad!
You’re doing it right Brad. Enjoy the adventure. The videos can wait.
Please keep the SITREPS coming! Great appetizers before the main course.
Looking forward to full video series.
That rock skip at 10:55 is solid - so great how that was captured as part of this
Thanks for the sitrep! Can't wait to see more footage. Stay safe.
Glad you like the SITREPs! Wanted to find ways to stay engaged while I was on the trail.
Awesome video as always Brad. Can’t wait to watch the full Arctic series.
Yep... ts cold up north until (about) July. The Yukon is gorgeous and I'm glad your trip was without major issues. I've met others who were not as fortunate. The mantra as you head north is Patience...
Wow that looks like a painting
Incredible scenery
Glad to hear your wife will be joining you soon enjoy the trip looks amazing
Please ignore the people asking for the adventure videos and put out the videos you are planning. Ignore the negative people, they are not worth it. You're doing excellent work and your core audience loves it, I can assure you. It's also very difficult to edit and be on an adventure.
These sit reps are greatness. Keeping us updated - I kept thinking all day after the last sit rep "did he make it?!" Appreciate the updates and I love that you value your wife, your marriage, and your family! Keep it up Brad. You're showing the right way to do this!
Thanks for the trip updates! I can’t wait to watch to whole Arctic Ocean trip series!
Brad you and Shaun hit a Grand Slam on this adventure with the effort and perseverance, Job Well Done.
Cool SITREP 😁
Thanks for promoting Dawson City! It is an incredible place with lots of history! It was the home of Robert Service, the Yukon poet! Definitely a great place to visit especially during the Dawson City follies
There are strange things done under the midnight sun, by the men who moil for gold!
Glad you made it! Fantastic! You endured so many obstacles!
I love these SITREP videos! I look forward to the adventure videos later. Have fun!
Dude, all these videos are awesome!! Love these little fill in videos, good details to leave out of the main videos if people wanna skip the side details and just watch the adventures.
Not all campgrounds in Canada are like that. The Yukon is a very special place, but be warned, the spell of the Yukon is a real thing.
Thank you for the sitrep, I like it a lot, looks like you're having a good time with Shawn.
I love the SITREPS. Keep up the good videos.
Love this adventure! Sit reps are great! Can’t wait for the videos! Be safe!!
Brad I’m just grateful you take us along
It’s understandable to do a sitrep
Y’all have covered some serious miles. Can’t imagine that leaving you a lot of time to edit and put out complete videos
So the sitrep is nice to get updates and follow along
Love seeing the mash up. I love both of y’all’s channels and bucket list maybe one day I’ll have the opportunity to adventure with yall till
Then I’ll be smashing the like button
👍 Oh boy it’s 113 degrees outside in Arizona as I watch this. Your video looks soooo good! Last night I watched EFRT on CZcams. They did a 2 hour tour of their trip to the Arctic Circle a few years ago. I was speechless. I can’t wait to see the videos of your trip. Safe travels Brad.
I travelling from Vancouver, British Columbia to PNW with one of the exhibitors. See you there, Brad!
I enjoy your sitreps. Still being out on the road, I don't expect some kind of polished, edited video. Being able to follow along in semi real time is great!
My wife & I were watching a video off & on yesterday on CZcams from the “ Epic Family adventure “ where they are ( or were ) doing a similar run up there from their home in the east . That is still some “ wild country “ up through most of Canada & into Alaska. Beautiful scenery by the way , and cannot wait to see whatever you put together, as you have never disappointed. Stay safe ,& enjoy the time with Regina . C-ya when we do again . 😎👍
Love the SitReps... "Coffee One Take on the Trail". A quick short glimpse as to what is going on, perfect for letting everyone know how things are going. Thank you Brad.
Yea. Yes, yes!! Ark tick!! You got it now 😂😂😂
Love your videos . Thx for sharing!!
Love the sitreps. I'm glad you were able to complete your journey. When you make it to Calgary, let me know. It would be great to meet you. Stay safe on the rest of your journey.
Love the sitreps can’t wait to see the videos!
Glad you made it to your intended destination
We were @ Tuk in latest July. The sun came down to just above the ocean and never set, just followed the horizon to the east, then started rising. Agree on Dawson City. The top of the world highway leaving there will be etched in my brain for a while. I will go back and take more time.
So stoked you’re gonna be at the Overland Expo PNW look forward to meeting you!
Awesome adventure, safe travels Brad. Look forward to seeing you up here in Oregon at the Expo.
Thanks Brad it’s like you’re having fun. We’ve actually done that trip as well but there’s still some beautiful places in Idaho and Oregon and Montana like that.Thank you for sharing Don and Donna from north idaho
Another great sitrep! Pretty cool to think you'll be coming thru Calgary. I hope I get to snap a pic as you're rolling thru! Thanks for the great content, Brad. Keep em coming! 🙌🏼
Thank you Brad. Nothing else to be said.
Man. I think I'm right behind you a bit. At Watkins Lake. Thanks for the update on road conditions.
You look and sound beat up, B-man. Appreciate you're taking the time on a rest-day to give us a sit-rep. Even being worn down a little, it's obvious you're soaking up the experience and grateful for it. Glad Regina is inbound; wind back in your sails.
Awesome adventure. Thank you & Sean for leading the way. Thank you both for sharing the unique content and incredible coverage. Great great great. SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY!!!
Looking forward to seeing the videos 😮
The sitreps are great!!!
That lake. That view is stunning!! Can’t wait to see the full adventures and challenges to faced. Obstacles you over came. Ect!! Especially that last update and waiting then on the light two fiver ferried and the great surprise after months of no travelers
I like your updates and am sure the wait for trail videos will be worth it.
Glad you guys made it!!!
GREAT VIDEO! THESE SITREP VIDEOS MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU!!!!! THE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR GLADIATOR AND YOUR TRAILER ARE QUITE INTERESTING ALSO!!!! I AM A RETIRED PERSON AND IT IS SO NICE TO WATCH CLEAN VIDEOS ALWAYS FUN TO WATCH!!! I AM GOING TO BE IN MONTANA NEXT MONTH, MY BROTHER ARE BUILDING A LOG CABIN OUTSIDE OF TROY, MONTANA!!! I JUST STARTED WATCHING THE STORY TILL NOW CHANNEL, SO THANK YOU FOR TELLING US ABOUT ANOTHER GOOD CHANNEL!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
When you come through Montana swing by Superior and say Hi. Theres some places here you really need to check out. Forget Glacier it's overrated and packed full of people, but go along Koocanusa in Rexford, and cruise down the Bull River, some spectacular hidden gems. Dont forget to camp a night at the Thompson Chain of Lakes to listen to the Loons in the evening And the state line road in the Lolo NF is pretty amazing - nearby here there are 2 trails you really should see while in the area. South central of Deerlodge and Beaverhead forests have some pretty awesome places too.
Hi Brad, thank you for keeping us updated.
I like the sitrep videos. It allows you to keep us informed until you can get the trip videos done and also allows you to enjoy the trip instead of spending your whole trip editing content. Keep doin what you're doin Brad. Awesome vids brother and stay safe
Can't wait to see the videos from this grand adventure!! Haters gonna hate, Brad you produce great content.. just keep doing what you do... besides this is yours!!
Rolling with it makes trips more fun. Incredible scenery up North.
Brad, as an Albertan I’d be shunned if I didn’t inform you that you’ve gotta stop by the Alberta Rockies on your way back down. Specifically Banff and Lake Louise are must sees. A few trails around there as well, and only an hour or two west of Calgary. Enjoy the rest of the trip!
Definitely an epic adventure! My son and I are leaving tomorrow afternoon, Jeeping our way to Colorado for some high mountain trails, camping and fishing.
Father and son trips are the best, safe travels!
@@TrailRecon same to you!
Congratulations!
Brad, as always, I love your videos! These teasers are a wonderful prelude to what is to come. I am never disappointed with your work and I am so very envious of what you've accomplished on this trip. I have truly enjoyed these spot on the moment updates! Anyone that says otherwise has no taste for the art that you are creating.
Safe journeys, my friend! I truly hope to see the finished videos within the next several weeks.
i've been in Finland for a summer, and winter (not recommended unless you like it frozen and dark almost 22hrs a day).. but summertime, can stay up all night w/o it getting dark., it's weird.. safe travels home !
Like your sitreps Brad keep doing them.
I’m loving the sitrep style videos knowing a greater series is coming at the end of it, keep it up!!
Loving the updates Brad! Also love the beard 🧔♂haha keep it up!
I enjoy these SITREP vids. It's good to see you're doing well, and the trip is going great. It'll be good to see Regena back in the videos. Miss seeing you both on these adventures. Continued safe travels. 😉✌
Great video Brad! I really enjoy these check-ins. It makes us feel like we are on the adventure with you. Can’t wait for the trail videos!
wow your camera is amazingly clear
What a beautiful location, and great information about the road conditions. I hope to cover the same ground in July, and I look forward to your continuing videos about your wonderful trip.
Love the sitreps
Thank you! Trying to find ways to keep up with everyone while I'm off on adventures.
Loving theses sit reps!!
Epic epic adventure, Brad! I like that you put these SITREPs out to kind of put the anticipation at ease until you get the actual edited videos out, which I cannot wait to see!
August 2022 we made this whole trip and then into Alaska. Great trip.... of course had a broke windshield to prove it lol
This is your channel! Keep doing what you want to produce. I personally like Sit Reps and coffee one takes. It’s a nice variation. Keep up the great work! Be safe!
Great video buddy. I love the honesty. What an incredible trip! Thanks for taking us along!
Awesome Brad,looking forward to seeing your upcoming video series
Not sure how I didn't see you guys. I ran out of time and had to return to the states for work. I understand the ferries started the day I was on my way back.
Love the SITREP's, enjoy your adventure Brad, editing video can wait.
I follow this you-tuber that went there winter time with his Sprinter van. Another one was a female. She’s an international traveler with her landrover, all the way to Prudhoe Bay, and the other trip was the Arctic Circle through a country in Europe, both in wintertime. All amazing views whether in winter or spring.
Keep doing your thing. I'm always sitting on my hands for the next video .
Brad, keep doing what you’re doing. The adventure videos will be amazing when you get them out. Heck leave Doc dirty for Overland expo take time off!
Check out banff outside of Calgary. Keep up the awesome videos

Thanks for the update! I wish I was able to go back there!
What an awesome trip! I look forward to seeing future videos.
What a great tease for upcoming videos!😎👍
Enjoy your videos! Made it to Inuvik years ago, before they had the summer road to Tuk, so I need to go again! My other load term long road plan is to make it to Cartwright someday which is part of Labrador…
Blah to the naysayers about trail videos. I appreciate the sitreps. The adventure you are on is epic and I hope one day I can do the same. These trips are once in a lifetime trips and not to enjoy it in the first person would be a crime. I’m just glad to be participating online watching you Brad. Enjoy your trip and I’m looking forward to seeing your trail videos.
Thanks for the update, very interesting trip.👍👍
Great video! Stunning view can’t wait to see the whole trip.
If you are still there. I recommend driving from Ross River to Johnson Crossing on the South Canole Trail. One on my favorite trail in Yukon.
These are great videos! From one Brad to another, just make the video that you want. This is great content, as this is a trip that is on my list to do one day.
Brad,
When Regina flys in take her on a side trip to Hyder, AK. It’s a little out of the way but it’s really worth the effort. There’s a 100 yard boardwalk from which you watch the bears fishing as they come down the river. It puts you close to the river and the bears where you can get fantastic pictures and videos. This side trip was the best part of MY trip to Alaska.
Thanks for the update Brad . I’m looking forward to your videos of your final push to the Arctic Ocean . We have flown into Whitehorse and drove to Dawson and back . I would love to do the drive to Tuk .
Great trip! If you have the chance, check out the Athabasca sand hiway, north of Ft McMurray. Very unique. May be a bit of a detour for you. Safe trip!
The free firewood up North is to help eliminate the bugs and critters found in the southern province's wood from infesting the beautiful forests of the north.
We stayed the night in Fort McPherson on the way up... a nasty snow storm basically halted all forward progress for us
My Dad would be fishing in that lake on the Zero days
Come through Wyoming and come say hi!
I enjoy your vids when they come. You do you.
Think I saw you drive through Watson Lake near sign forest today! Looking forward to all the videos as my wife will be up at Tuk in late August. Going late to hopefully see fall colors.
Hope you get your Bluenose Master Chief, I got mine on an LST
