Something I would never see without your video. Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for the kind comment.
very good video , very good trip too , were being there at 2015 , but tuk highway didn't finished , I,ll try next time . north bc & Yukon its best place in this planet , cheers .
Thanks for filming and sharing your adventure. The Dempster is an ambition of mine. But a long way from Scotland!!
The Dempster is a long way from everywhere. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!
Enjoyed your video. I drove the Dempster in June and at the time, the Peel River was closed for about a week due to flooding. I crossed it as soon as it reopened but both Peel and McKenzie rivers were at full flood stage. Made for an interesting day.
Beautiful memories. Awesome part of the world and just the nicest folks!
Fun to watch your video. I was blessed to be able to drive the Dempster and to Tuk in June. McKenzie was at flood stage then.
It certainly is a weather dependent road.
The Caribou it's on the Canadian quarter most people won't get the chance to see Caribou I want to be one of those people
I hope you get that chance!
Really Enjoyed your video Dave
Thanks. I'm glad you did!
Great video! Loved your drone footage. What month did you do this trip? And I have a dumb question: do you HAVE to have 4wd for the Dempster or could you do it in a rear wheel drive vehicle? My van is RWD unfortunately. Thanks!
I'm glad you liked the video. We did the trip lateJuly -early August when 4wd is not necessary. The van we used was a standard rear wheel drive Chevy Savanna. I would recommend robust tires with a spare and having a complete mechanical inspection before you go.
@@davebeningfield thank you for the feedback!
Great video,what month did you guys travel? How were the bugs?
We went end of July, first week of August. The bugs were site specific - some areas completely free of bugs, others a bit of a nuisance. It varies on location and some years are worse than others.
Thanks Dave , hopefully we will be fishing on our trip. What fishing license do I need. BC resident over 65
@@kevinannebuck570 For the Yukon part of the trip a non resident full season Yukon fishing license is quite a bargain - under $30. You can buy them on line before you go. I didn't have time to fish in the NWT so I didn't get a NWT license
Nice. We plan to make the trip next summer. Is that a vintage Peterborough canoe you have there?
It's a Thompson canoe, made at a native reserve north of Edmonton in 1982. A business was set up there using Chestnut canoe molds that were acquired when Chestnut went out of business in the late 70s. Thompson canoes only lasted a few years and it, too, went out of business. I acquired this one a few years back and restored it.
@@davebeningfield Looks like a beauty.
@@mcakey1648 a beauty, but incredibly heavy
@@davebeningfield I get it. Our Chestnut and Peterborough cedar/canvas canoes are hanging in the shed and we mostly use a 40+lb Souris River kevlar now.
