- Come along on a 4,000 mile road trip from Cadillac Mi, to Fairbanks Alaska. We'll take a trip through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, The Yukon, and on up to Alaska. We'll drive through the mountain parks in northern BC. And up the Alcan Highway.
I could listen to you talk about boot leather for 2 hours, you're a wonderful storyteller.
Yes siree! 👏 👏 👏 😎💜🙏
I feel the same, he has a great voice, he would make a great audio book or narrative for documentary!
For decades I have heard about and dreamed about someday making this epic road trip ; never seen anything on this except some old still photos and some archival b&w film footage of the building of this road . Thanks Dave for taking us along on this one ; a truly beautiful and spectacular stretch of northern bush ! The scenery is just " to die for " . Enjoyed everything about this vid ; the music , editing , your philosophical rants , the bear scenes , the history , hanging out with Daisy , etc . Really diggin' your channel , Mister ! Glad you made it safely there . All the best , Glenn
Thanks Glenn! I appreciate that. Glad you like the channel!
I'm so happy that this popped up on the CZcams feed! I caught Brooke and Moose's Michigan to Alaska trip not too long ago, so it's a treat to see your earlier version. Now it's 24 years since your very first solo road trip there. Bet that doesn't make you feel like you're getting older! Great scenery, even better stories and so fun to see da Woof in her prime. Thanks for taking thousands of us along! Now I feel the need to go make some coffee. 😃 ☕
I'm sooo thankful you posted this wonderful trip! You're so right about not procrastinating doing things like this or whatever your dream might be. My husband and I put off a trip to Canada until he retired. Right after he did, pain and mobility issues hit me and put me in a wheelchair. No more dream vacations or travel.
So, thanks and blessings for all the videos you and Brooke post! I binge on them and they really give me something to look forward to and a lot of laughter! 🙏👏👍👍😀🥰
I know this was four years ago but I had to tell you I lived in London Ontario for a year and a half and I absolutely loved it! There were so many different areas just been time in! You have woods, you have the city, you have country type of to areas and there’s the reservation. You just get a little bit of everything and I just adored it! I hated leaving but my mother was sick with lung cancer and I had to go home!
When I was first diagnosed with my disease, RA over 20 yrs ago my husband, at that time, drove up to Kenora and flew up farther north on a floater plane to fish on Norse Lake. That waz my heaven. Thank you for taking me along in Canada while Im actually in bed. 😄 God Bless you and your wife. Im addicted to both of your channelz!!❤
Thank you ❤️ for all your videos and sharing so much with us, but this 20th anniversary trip was really exceptional! Thank you, Dave. The scenery is breathtaking! You are the most real, down-to-earth, kind, smart, funny guy ever! I absolutely LOVE Daisy and your relationship with her. Her sweet nature makes me think of our 20+ years of golden retrievers. There’s nothing like a good dog for company on a road trip!
Thank you again for taking us with you and sharing so unselfconsciously the details of your travels. I feel like you and Brooke are old friends and that I’ve actually been to Alaska and Michigan! Thank you so very much. You two are everyday heroes to me, and your kids are amazing, too. ❤️ May God continue to bless you in all that you do. You are bringing a lot of good to this old world! ❤️😘
A big hug for Daisy and a scratch for the kitties.
P. S. I’m working my way through all your videos as I get time, and enjoying every single one!!
Pretty sure my dog and I grabbed a few hours sleep at that spot just outside Wawa on our way from Kingston, Ont. to Fort Francis Ont. a couple years ago. My dog passed last year but this brought back great memories of some great adventures we had together. Love them while you got them, they pass too soon
Hi Dave I have watched tons of brooks channel,, and am enjoying yours too.. I so appreciate you two being bold and up front about your faith as you totally love the outdoors. We live in Alberta and right now are seriously concerned for our country,,,,, But wanted to say,, pray for our country,, and if you are driving across again please know you have more friends here that would be glad to have take a break with us as well as your friends up in Gibbons.. God bless you guys👍Diane, and my husband Paul Casurella
WOW!! Dave, thank you so much for recording this trip, the beautiful landscape truly breath taking, I can only imagine the scent of all those trees, the wildlife absolutely amazing, and telling us all this information. I'm glad your a Christian and God's heads-up about the loose lug nuts on your tire, whew! Thank you again so much!! I appreciated it so much, and will watch it again!!! Actually all your videos are worth watching twice, your so talented with all your handy work. You and your wife are the perfect team with priorities on point for living life to the fullest!!! Thanks for being an inspiration !!
Thanks
Loved Daisy's reaction to the bear siting The scenery was awesome Thanks for showing it to us So beautiful
😊 thank you
This video is so much fun to watch and so beautiful, I’ve watched it about 5 times. You look like you’re right in your element and taking your favorite trip ever. The Yukon River log raft trip is another one I’ve watched numerous times. Great adventures! Thanks for sharing with us. I’ve only seen mountains like that in Bob Ross’s paintings!
I know what you mean....pretty amazing scenery. Thanks
Now I see why you make this trip, most beautiful scenery and wildlife. When you first called the dog daisy, I was going to ask if its Daisy, Maisy, or da woof!!! But you clarified that😆
Thank you for explaining the dogs name, I kept hearing different names. Love watching you.
Thanks.
Thank you, Dave, for sharing this video with us. It gives those of us who may never take a road trip due to certain limitations a chance to see the natural beauty of other places.
You're very welcome my friend
What a dazzling, encompassing trek! Thanks for posting it all!
Loved this video..lots of Canadian and Alaskan footage and info... thank you
Thanks for this and all your videos. I've been lucky to be able to do this drive 8 times, 4 up in the spring, 4 back south in the winter, usually from Ohio and this brought back great memories. I've done it solo every time and love getting weird and seeing where your mind wanders to. I love how vast Northern Canada is.
This is a beautiful, beautiful trip. I’ve never seen COUNTRY like this and I drove a truck over the road of course in the United States for 16 years. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you so much. Tiny Houston MS
Dave and Daisy's excellent adventure. Thank you so much for taking us along. The absolutely breathtaking country just lit a fire in me to see it for myself. Thank you.
Good luck Gary. Let me know if you take the trip, I'll give you some good ideas of places you should make a point to stop at.
Gary Harmon b
This was a gem. Bike touring the Oregon Coast next month and looking forward to some solitude like this. Probably helps a bit with your sanity having a camera to talk to. Hope you film the next one for us.
Your inspirational my man. Appreciate your content. Been looking for some motive to get over the "writers block" on my channel and the fact you just film this and don't stress, don't question it, just do it and know that it's valuable for people makes me really reconsider the way Im doing things. I appreciate you man. thank you.
This was such an amazing video thank you Dave for sharing this trip. I’m hoping at some point to do this for the first time. I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of months and it is the most relaxing thing to put in front of me with what is going on nowadays.
A man and his dog building and living simply, man I couldn’t think of a much better life than that. You are truly blessed by God with such an amazing life, family and dog. Thank you for what you do and please never stop there can never be enough wholesome entertainment in a time that lacks it sooo much. Stay radical brother.

Absolutely enjoyed the heck out of this trip. Places I've never seen. Nice video.
This had to have been one of the best videos I've ever watched. You're a natural camera man and travel guide, and I've never seen this part of the country. M/Daisy adds the perfect touch. 20 years ago I drove the Pacific Coast Highway from southern CA to Yosemite. It remains the most beautiful part of the country I've ever seen, but for a Connecticut girl, those big trees and mountain passes were incredible. It spurred a love for mountains that I suspected was always there, but now I know is "home."
Awesome video, this is the definition of road trip. RESPECT! 👍
Thanks RD!
I must have watched this video 20 times and I'm watching it again. Cos it's just that good 👍
The video brought back memories for me. I have not been across the highway I think since 1995. Watching your video made me miss that trip. I understand that now you have to have a passport to cross the borders. There was no passport needed the last time I traveled the highway. In so many ways i miss "the good ol days".
Hey Lonnie. Brooke and I were just talking about you guys. We'd like to make it down for a visit sometime. ........I will say the highway is a lot better that it's been over the years. They have taken out some interesting hairpin turns.....and the Yukon finally stopped "fixing " the road ALL Summer every summer, so there are no more 30 minute waits....so thats good.
Connie and I hope that you folks do make it down here sometime. If so, give us a holler and we will get together. We don't see any trip happening up that far North for us any time soon.
What a trip, spectacular scenery and just a few more miles on the clock! CZcams is a great platform to find such inspirational people like yourselves who are willing to share their life's experiences, it certainly opens up the world to us all..I loved your journey, thanks for sharing, Dave
Thanks Nat! I'm glad you enjoyed the trip.
That scenery of the mountain is amazing
Thanks
Thanks for this video. I am planning my Canadian road trip for 2025 and will use this as a guide. Good stuff!
Great to have you bring us along again on your trip. I know you have done it many times but we enjoy hanging out with ya, even if it is thru a video format.
Thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing your road trip with us...it was absolutely beautiful! Maybe if I'm as blessed as u and Brooke I will witness this beauty in person. But if not I am honored that you shared your trip with us! God Bless.
Thank you Ellen, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I just want to say thank you for that road trip you shared with us. I had a great time knowing Canada. God bless you!
Thanks Nelly.
I was born in Miami, Manitoba. My grandpa lived till 102 yrs, & passed away in Portage LA Praire. I got to be there for his 100th birthday. Love watching your travels thru there. My husband was born in Hillsboro, OR. I took him thru the provinces on our honeymoon. We had relatives in every province to spend the night with.
Ok perfect road trips !!!!! I watched all your road trip videos !!! Man this brought back great memories!!! A buddy and myself did a spur of the moment RT to Colorado to go fishing and visit some of his family in a fifty dollar car . It had a slant six and a three on the tree . We crisscrossed our way to his family s place. Never really did much fishing but pretty much rebuilt the car on the trip up. One used radiator a clutch a water pump a master cylinder rebuild and a few other odds n ends. Had craftsmen tools and a scout knife electrical tape and bailing wire and could fix anything Only real prep we did before we left was install a stereo with a cassette player . Food was in a Styrofoam cooler . Cokes crackers and peanut butter . We thought we were living like kings !!! My wife and I had an escort wagon like yours . Grew out of it when our third baby arrived but we put well over a hundred thousand miles in a couple of years . Great car. Really enjoy yours and your wife's videos. No BS honest and down to earth. Thank you !
Thanks Frank! It sounds like you had a fantastic trip......its those kinds of trips that really stay with you!
Cool stuff Dave, love all of the videos! Much love and respect
Hi Dave..... what a wonderful trip you have taken me on! So much of this great country I have not seen,but I have now and I thank you for that. It’s nice to hear your stories of your travels. It was all very awesome to see what beautiful country Canada has to offer! ☕️🌲❤️👍
Thanks for bringing us along! Daisy is a sweetheart.
Thanks. I'll tell Daisy you said hi!
Who wouldn't enjoy this trip? Love the film, thanks for sharing it.
Brings back many fond memories of my trips to Alaska, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Dave. Absolutely beautiful. Be safe and hopefully you will make many more trips like this one.
I hope so too. Thanks
Haven’t watched this until now. Loved it. Thanks for bringing us along! 😀
What an awesome trip with ur co-pilot Maysie! Beautiful scenery, visit friends, see wildlife in their environment, and enjoy all that nature brings...
I loved watching this film!!
Thx Dave!
Thanks C2F! I glad you liked the video. It took forever to make..being so long.
Bushradical
Awesome job! Glad u put the effort into it... u got some great footage! It was long, it took me almost all day to watch because I 1st noticed it while at work n watched a little then watched some more during lunch n finished watching after work. I may watch it again all in one sitting.
Kinda like when u see a good movie sometimes u watch it again to catch the little things u missed the 1st time!
Anyway... gotta go!.
Thanks C2F!
What an amazing adventure with Daisy, cannot drive that long in one go! My dog Li died 3 weeks before Christmas last year, your trip with your dog brings back awesome memories. Thank you for sharing this adventure and the beautiful landscapes!
Thanks for the comments, I'm sorry about your dog.
Being an Ontarian, listening to you talk about the Canadian Sheild and such mmade me think, "Yeah the scenery is great and all, but not in the summer on a twelve hour drive with you grandpa and nothing to do when your eight and have nothing to do".
Also, this reminds me that pretty much all of Ontario looks the same.
I grew up in Saskatchewan near North Battleford, got married and moved to Fort St John BC in 2000, and moved back to our family ranch in Saskatchewan in 2018. This road trip of yours was so awesome to watch because I’m so familiar with that drive!!
Just beautiful,thanks for sharing. I need a road trip like this one day.
The AlCan sure doesn't look like the same road when I drove it in about 1975-76. About 1400 miles of gravel road. Pot holes that were huge.
I love the scenery, wild life and your videos.
Thank you Dave I enjoy both you and Girl in the Woods.
Totally awesome.
God bless you all!
I've thumbed that route several time during the 70's, brings back many memories! The Canadian plains put the American plains to shame!
Thanks Dave for sharing your trip and thoughts. Your so right on we don't have a promise for tomorrow.. Making sure our heart is right with the Lord. God bless you my friend and brother in Christ.
I LOVE all your videos. You & Brooke make such amazing interesting videos. We'll probably never be able to travel like you do. My husband & I are in our 70's. The scenery of all you post is SUPERB!!!
Awesome road trip, thanks for sharing. Wish you were able to do more videos and wish you and Brooke did more content together.
Thanks BillBob. I wish I could' do more content! Summer is super busy for me....this fall i'll be posting more often.
Dave, Thanks for taking me back along! You brought back some great memories of my trip from Pennsylvania to Glenallen, back in 1986. Thanks for documenting your journey, it is nice to be able to "share" the trip with someone the way you did. Enjoy all of your videos and I'm making my way through them, now that I found your channel. Double Thumps up my friend!
Thanks Gary. It truly is an amazing thing to be able to share an experience the way you can on youtube. What a time we live in!
LOVE all the videos, from you and your lovely wife
Thanks for the memories, Dave. My wife and I drove from southern BC to Whitehorse in 1974, right after we got married. It was a fantastic trip but I suspect the road wasn't as good then as the one I see on your trip! Mostly gravel back then, as I recall. We were trying for Alaska but we ran out of tires and money. You've inspired me to consider doing it again! Thanks...
So sorry 😐 re: tires
Thanks for sharing your journey you gotta love a good road trip
Thanks.
This one awesome watch. The scenery is just so unbelievably beautiful. Thanks for taking me along for the ride.
David in the UK.
Thanks Dave
Impressive...the sights, the sounds, the message, your music! You and your wife, in her videos, are such thoughtful, kind communicators! Love all your videos and love to see you "Driving Miss Daisy." 🙋♀️😊
Thanks
You did such an excellent job of taking us with you each mile of the way
Dave, you talked me into it, I will drive one of these days from BC to Michigan which I have been thinking about it, thanks !
Would love to be able to do something like this one day, very inspiring and great narrating, you have a wise head on your young shoulders!
Thanks
Thank you for sharing this body of water it is as close as I will get I'm retired now and can't get around like I used to u and ur wife r awesome I very much enjoy all ur shows God bless u both
the baby buffalo was just adorable! it was good to see him. :) as an animal lover I loved seeing all the animals; will have to actually drive this someday if I can, and maybe see them for myself. :)
Do you bring your cat's to Alaska for the summer? Love watching the trip. I always wondered how the trip to Alaska would look. I also just thanked the lord for keeping you safe. Love how you and Brooke acknowledge the blessings in your life. Thanks
Thanks Ruthiewrangler. We appreciate the comment.
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Also love the music!
Thanks
Thank you for taking us on yours and Daises journey. You are a wonderful story teller. Glad I found yours and Brookes channel.
Enjoyed the bckground music. Added to the beauty of places I never seen. Thanks for the presentation.
I've been looking forward to this one for a while! As a native Great Plains stater who'd often generally rather be up in the mountains, or the Northwoods, I have to say that I've learned to appreciate the special beauty of the wide open plains. There's something...i don't know...spiritual about them. I probably feel more of God's presence in the plains than I do in the high mountains. But, it's all beautiful, and I love it all!
There is something about the plains that really gets to you. I'm not a plains guy and I hated the the plains the first time I drove through..........and then I found myself thinking about the plains all the time. now its always nice to drive through the plains.
Come on!! You had an easy trip...Daisy did most of the driving obviously 😂✌
Lol....i just love that Daisy girl 🐶 what a wonderful companion she is on that long long trip.
Thanks
Another great video watched all 58 mins loved the landscape and the stories of your 20 yr personal history of Alaskan trips
Thanks Larry
13:35 watch out for zombies! Totally out of walking dead. Very nice trip. Lived in Canada most of my life and have still never been up to those sections.
Hi Dave . That was quite the road trip , glad you made it safe to Alaska . It seem forever for the videos to come out . Thought your format was excellent , one video of your trip instead five separate ones . Thanks for stopping by . Uno says hi . Judy really loves your band . Have a great summer , see you on your way south . Thanks for sharing . ATB Ken 🇨🇦 .
Thank you Ken. I had a great time visiting you guys. Brooke wants to see UNO, I told her how cool he was.
I absolutely enjoyed this. It was like I was on the trip with you. I just sat back and ate my can of corn while watching this beautiful trip. My wife and I have been watching your channel and your wife's channel for a while now. And we enjoy both of them and you both have inspired both of us to want to go build our own cabin once we get everything figured out. Keep posting and we'll keep watching.
I know all of the build videos do extremely well for you, but this is classic Bushradical. I miss these lower 48 to Alaska videos. Always fun to go back and watch them. A lot of my solo travel has been influenced over the years by your means and methods.
What a great road trip! Wildlife, scenery, amazing experience Dave! Cheers bro🍺
Thanks Steve!
Love to watch this road trip!
Thanks
Beautiful scenery, good company, good stories. Thanks for the videos.
Good job, I so enjoyed your trip .... I felt like I was riding along and I was enjoying the country ..... I’m telling you son your the best and love ya tons .... The narrative was great and you made the trip so interesting and you made me laugh with your comments....so appreciate the way you gave God the credit and the Glory for all things ... God Bless you !!!. Love ya tons . Dad .😊
Thanks Mick, I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I know you guys have your hands full. I hope all is well and please tell Jeannie I said Hi. Love you guys.
I watched that from my desk at work while having my lunch and coffee, wondering why the heck I was sitting at the desk and not travellling somewhere. This was almost as good as being there. When you got into Saskatchewan I was waiting for you to break in to the song "a little bit north of Saskatoon" but then figured it was probably copyrighted. Glad to hear you use your own music as background sounded good. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kevin. The Guess who has a song about saskatoon also.
You have a great country song in your title, road trip to Alaska with my dog, looking forward to hearing in on my radio soon.
That was quite the adventure thanks for sharing
Thanks
Spam Musubi - cool name!
I love that stuff!!
Thanks Dave, I love it, wouldn’t have seen the much beautiful sights and scenes if you didn’t filmed it, sure it is something to see, happy adventures Dave and take it easy out there, yes give thanks to the all mighty God for all the earth he made for mankind! 👍🏼☕️🍜👌🏽✌️🙏🏽‼️
Thanks Ted
Thanks for the ride, stories, pictures, all very beautiful including Daisy!
WOW!!! Thank you for taking us along on an epic road trip. Such beautiful country along your journey and the video is very well edited. God bless and take care. Live for today and prepare for tomorrow.
Thanks Go fresh!
Ooops!!! Oh well - guess I should edit?
Go Fresh? Come on man!!!!!
Hey GoFeesh 85 , I'm sorry. I type fast and never spellcheck. It was my bad.
Not a problem at all - just having fun - it really was a great video. Just finished watching episode 3 - she's doing a fine job so far. I'm pullin' for her.
Great road trip! Cool you stopped to visit fans! Thanks for sharing 😀
Ken and Judy are super cool people. We had great visit.
Awesome video Dave! You're right, those mountains are epic. Thanks for sharing.
What an Awesome rd. trip!! I really enjoyed it. Beautiful scenery!!
I feel like I’’be been on a road trip seeing awesome mountains, bear, bison (adorable baby!)...just incredible landscape that I really need to see in person. Can I borrow Daisy to come along with me? Loved the music. Always important to have good travel tunes. Great job on this video, Dave!
Hey Susan.....we may breed Daisy next spring......puppies! But, I'm sorry, I don't load out my dog, LOL.
Daisy with puppies! Can just imagine what a great mom she would be! Please let me know if she has puppies!
Awesome video Dave. I'd say it wasn't such a "crappy" car after all. It got you from point A to point B all in one piece. So good to see DaiseyMaisey enjoying the journey. Thanks so much for sharing. By the way, that was a goldmine you passed in northern Ontario not so far past Wawa.
Oh , right on. Its a serious mine thats for sure.
Excellent!!! So thankful! No accidents...😉 Just radical!!!😛 Thank you! For sharing..☺
Thank You for such a wonderful great scenery video, love Canada.
It's spelled Wawa, Ontario for those wondering.
Cool Dave - super cool! Pity you didn't do one this year!! Loved looking back at your fun!
Things can go wrong. You can forget things. But its how you deal with it that makes you who you are. You deal with things very well. I never knew it got that hot up that way. And haha a boy and his dog playing. It never gets old xD
Third time watching now. Not many channels make me want to watch videos that often. Thanks Dave.
Dave, I just joined your Alaska Adventure Trip. Gee!! I enjoyed my trip with you and Daisy so mush it was a maliciousness sight and adventuress TRIP I have ever been on it felt like I was right there while just watching it all on video.. I never would have seen any of this if I didn't accidentally end up scanning you tube looking for interesting videos to watch.. I wasn't by any means sorry that I did, in fact I was very grateful and happy I did. Thank you so much for sharing. Virginia Havu
PS. Will you be going again ever? If you do and I'm still here or around and can still see, you bet I'll be watching...
Hey Virginia. I'm so glad you enjoyed the road trip video. Actually I take that trip 2 times a year. In the spring I go north to Alaska and in the fall I go south to Michigan. I have another series on my channel about the drive up to Alaska. Its 5 videos long I believe.
So glad to hear you thank the Lord for watching out after you at about 35:03, as I was thanking Him for watching out for you, bringing that loose front right wheel to the forefront BEFORE the mountains (and steep ravines!). LOVED the montage of incredible scenes from the trip at the end! Wonderful trip.
Just watched this from beginning to end. GREAT VIDEO! Thank you.
Thanks for taking us with you on this trip. I enjoyed it very much.
