Hello all, Thanks for joining us for the northernmost adventure of the summer! Check out the blog post for more links and details about this drive! bit.ly/2kis5GZ
Thank you so much for going on this incredible journey and for producing, writing and starring this TH-cam real adventure with the Mortons, because you are the Mortons!
Beautiful video presentation and production. We will be headed to Tuktoyaktuk next year. We would like to ask you about your drone photography. We are American citizens. We both have the FAA UAV Licenses. However, we were told that only Canadian citizens as of June 2019 can legally fly a UAV (drone) in Canadian Airspace (CA does not recognize US Certifications) and that we can not even bring into Canada our UAV (It will be seized) . We will also be going to Alaska (where we can legally fly) but since Canada Authorities told us we can not bring our US Licensed/Registered UAV into Canada, Alaska UAV use won't happen. Canada reformed their UAV laws dramatically. What we would like to know is how (from whom) you received permission to fly your UAV for your arial photography. Thanks. Happy Trails and Safe Travels. All the best.
@@mjmohnHi MJ - actually, not even Canadian citizens can fly drones in certain areas. And, other areas are just off limits, which can lead to hefty fines. The new regulation came into effect June 2019, so it is not surprising that there is a lot of confusion. Here’s a step-by-step (with links) that will help you stay safe, and ensure the safety of others, including property. 1) Your drone weight & size: this new regulation requires that drones have certain weight and size, unless you have special permission to fly a different drone (used for specialized work). You should look at the specs of your machine and see if it is compliant with the new requirement. Alternatively, you can also visit the manufacturer’s website. If you click the following link, it will take you to DJI’s Newsroom page: www.dji.com/newsroom/news/dji-drones-meet-new-transport-canada-requirements-for-flight-near-people 2) Location: even if you have a permit to fly a drone in Canada, it does not mean that you can fly it anywhere. For instance, restricted areas are just that: restricted, and you should know what these are. The following link from Transport Canada will help you better understand these new rules (first link), and where you can fly one by using the interactive map (second link): www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/aviation/drone-safety.html nrc.canada.ca/en/drone-tool/ You should also check the NAV Canada NOTAMs portal for any scheduled events as this will restrict the use of your drone in that area: flightplanning.navcanada.ca/cgi-bin/CreePage.pl?Langue=anglais&NoSession=&Page=Fore-obs%2Fnotam&TypeDoc=html And, keep in mind that Parks Canada does not allow drones (e.g. Banff, Lake Louise, etc.). You should also check with each Provincial Park before you fly your drone. Also, keep in mind that there is a section of the Dempster Highway that is used for emergency landing (air ambulance). This is at Km124 (Government airstrip). You will see signs on the road, on both sides, as you approach it. This means you cannot stop your vehicle here, unless it is an emergency, or fly a drone. Consider this area as an airport no-fly zone. 3) Certificate: it is true that you must have a Canadian-issued certificate to fly your drone in Canada (Special Flight Operations Certificate). I would recommend that you visit the following link for further details: Foreign pilots (US included): coastal-drone-academy.thinkific.com/courses/RPAS-basic-FP Hope this helps. 😊 Disclaimer: please note that I am not in any way associated with any of the companies or institutions mentioned in this posting.
This is the first time i have watched any video of your channel. Damn, this is outstanding work, too good. You deserve more recognition as a channel. Keep up the good work. Btw, is the guy Indian descendant ?
I know a lot of truck campers but always a Dodge 450-550 they are way more dependable and a lot more dependable. My best friend had to have a new motor sent to him and the exhaust brake was 3-4 times better they work outstanding and touched their brakes once or twice the whole trip and that was 7000 miles !
By far this was my favorite episode of this journey. So many animals too see, education about the local people, two crazy people swimming in the Arctic ocean and beautiful sites. I bet you guys can't believe how amazing this trip has been. Thanks for sharing with us. Be safe.
The entire series is epic but this episode stands out as one of the best, most informative and well-video-Ed. What an amazing adventure and one of the most instinctively respectful of local culture ever filmed. I’ve no doubt that all Canadian and Alaskan locals are grateful for your sensitivity to far north customs and lifestyles. This should be required viewing in all lower 48 schools!
Mocha and Bella are quite remarkable dogs! They always look so calm. I mean they were on the PADDLE Board!! lol. So enjoyable. Your videos are some of my favorite entertainment! Thank you!
Nice to see your beautiful video. I worked in the beaufort sea for 5 years on drill ships and we were based in Tuk back in 1979 to 85 and no road there then. Nice to see Tuk again.Thank you!
Hello Mortons…..I just wanted to say thanks for the great filmwork and commentary. I was stationed at Barter Island DEWline site back in 1980. I flew all around northern Alaska and Canada doing inspections at various sites and TUK was one I visited on the way to Cambridge Bay (Cam Main). Not too many folks can say they have been to Tuk, your film did a great job introducing TH-camrs to that beautiful place. Thanks from Wasilla, Alaska.
No way! We heard wonderful things about barter island and that there used to have lots of polar bears, bet you have seen a few! We are greatful that we were able to get even a small glimpse of the north :)
Way for sure!!! You two make a great couple....please be safe on your travels and like Mom always said "wash your hands and keep them off your face"! When will you be back in the Greatland?
You have really thrilled me with this video by reminding me of all of the beauty I saw when I was up there. There are many things I want to say, but I'll stick to two main points. 1) I LOVE how you explained how the road is affecting the beautiful people of Tuktoyaktuk and how we need to tread carefully and respectfully. 2) Your truck camper is THE way to go I think because of the truck's suspension softening the blow to the camper. The road itself is not that bad in a vehicle, but put something tagging along in the back and having it bounce down the road after you, I believe it takes more of a beating. In any case, you gave me shivers of delight reliving my short time up there. Thank you!
I don't know how I wound up here but this was incredible - truly professional documentary quality. Oh and extra props for the great rig. Subscribed....
Absolutely amazing video as good as any video I have seen. Congratulations I see lots of opportunities in your future. Love watching your videos Thank you
"...called these lands home for thousands of years." Not entirely true. The Inuit were a relatively recent arrival in the Arctic, displacing the peaceful Dorset peoples and stealing their land. They've only lived in the area for about one thousand years. To put it into perspective, the Vikings were in Greenland before the Inuit were.
Your videos create such a beautiful feeling for us the viewers. So well done in every aspect and I especially enjoy the narration you both give which serves to enhance that "feeling" that your videos have. This video brought me to tears. Thank you for all the beauty you have shared.
Congratulations on completing the most memorable journey of a lifetime what a wonderful achievement and the most beautiful scenery ever thank you for taking us along the way from Nottingham UK
Did it in June of 2018 on our Adventure Motorcycles. 7 of us. Got snowed on coming back from Tuk on June 8th and two of the guys got to visit the well-equipped Inuvik medical center, then the airport there for flights back. Coming back down the Dempster which had several very icy and very wet places from the snowstorm was another adventure. You guys did a lot more in-depth exploring and meeting people and I really enjoyed seeing much more of the treck than I remember. With only two of you, you could take the time to stop longer and get more in-depth without worrying about what everybody else wanted to do. Loved it!! And also your other entertaining and informative vlogs. I'm glad you did the work (and it really is!) to prepare them so well. Jim.
A real great video! I’ve been to Alaska but never made it to the Arctic ocean nor will I ever, most probably! I’m a senior. Thank you. A real pleasure. You are so brave and young!!!
Although our two nations have MUCH in common, I think that you have, on this journey of discovery, learned some of the many differences. Thank you, from this proud Canuck, for showcasing our North, its incredible geography, BUT most of all, having the respect and interest in the peoples living there to both understand and truly appreciate their unique cultures and lifestyles. Sincere Cheers from here....
Inuvik used to be called the "Easter Egg Town" because of all the brightly colored houses there. This was back in '84, when I was preparing to drive to AK. I wonder when all those homes disappeared. That whale stew recipe was hilarious. It's easy to see that you take care to pronounce things correctly. So many don't.
I drove the Dempster highway up to Inuvik in 1993. I then took a guided plane and van tour to "Tuk". Except for the mosquitoes, I had an enjoyable trip. Thanks for documenting that newly completed road as I'm unlikely to travel there again. This is the first Mortons video I've seen and was impressed with the professional quality. I look forward to watching many more from your archives.
As someone who has lived in the big city all his life . I would gladly trade in Miami with any of these small towns and live there forever. Your documentary is excellent. Thanks for uploading.
Pretty rare I'll watch an entire 30 minute video...but the authenticity combined with the epic videography and beautiful editing is fantastic. Your work feels like a cross between a professional documentary with a very personal feeling. Tuk has been on my list since the road has opened and you've provided me with just that much more motivation to follow through. Thank you for bringing this wonderful part of Canada to viewers.
We did the drive in 2018, the first summer the Tuk road was open. It was a free for all around the big sign, with lots tents, and RV’s. The Tuk road was very soft. Thanks for this marvelous video. Great work!.
I don't understand for the life of me why someone would give this video a thumbs down. It was a good video, showed lots of scenery and highlights. What do you want?
Not sure how many times I have watched this series & in particular this video of the Dempster, as it captures the flavour of this iconic road road so well. We did this drive as part of our trip in early July 2018 to complete our "COAST TO COAST TO COAST" experience over 2 summers. We spent 2 weeks on the Dempster and I wish we had lingered another week or two. Hopefully we will make it once more & time it for early fall. 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent folks and thank you for posting..put together very very well...I was in Barrow Alaska almost 20 years ago and still think about it often looked similar to Tuk... it's Inuvik i'd like to see......glad you guys had a nice trip with memories forever ...by the way I did do Top of the World and it was in the fall absolutely beautiful and very colorful
Awesome video. On my bucket list for years. Hopefully this spring. You touched on tires. That was something I was thinking of. I guess having 2 spares wouldn't be a bad idea. Thanks for sharing.
It’s so amazing to see that midnight sun... I’ve seen it only once in my life and it made me cry because it was so incredible. The whole half an hour this video lasted, it wasn’t even dark once... so different to where I live in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 👌
As Australian that does a lot of outback touring I found this video really well put together, informative and entertaining. Australia has some fantastic places to see but it would be great to go to the places shown in this video. I commend you both for respecting in native culture, what I have found in our travels is, if we respect the cloture of the traditional owners they respect us for doing so.
Hi guys!! Glad you made it to the Arctic Ocean without any issues. It is an amazing video. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. You are creating such wonderful memories!! Til next time, safe travels!! 😊💞🎉🥂
Another exciting video of the trip to the Great North. Loved your final quote, Caitlin: "The adventure doesn't end at the end of the road." Something we can all ponder, even if not in the Great North Country. Thanks for taking us all along, guys. Y'all Be Safe!
I did that trip last year in my 2016 Toyota prius. I purchased a roof rack and carried 2 spare tires, and a five gallon gas can, and a bunch of camping equipment and a 4 ton hand winch and air compressor. I also bought a set of snow tires, because the tread depth. The back seats lay down and two can sleep with a tailgate tent and leave the heat /a.c. on all night. You can do that in a hybrid. We had a blast, and traveled all over in northern Canada. Plus the drive up from Colorado was amazing. We averaged 52 mpg for the trip.
Best video of the Dempster I’ve seen yet. Makes me wanna go back ... I’ve done it in my custom truck camper and also on my BMW GSA Moto ... lol I’m addicted
Thanks so much for the great production of your adventures. At my old age this is such a blessing to be able to live your adventures through your blog. God Bless you both.
Another brilliant episode! We are absolutely loving every single one and seeing you all have such amazing adventures. Thank you for sharing them with us, and for the wonderful videography and storytelling. Hugs and love from us! Xx
Like lots of the other comments,not sure why the algorithm put me here but a pleasant discovery. Respect is a big part of your presentation,besides the great,photography and audio your weave about the towns and people make your videos really fun to watch. The next time I type in " motorcycle camping " I will realize how low I have aimed in my objectives and destinations. Keep inspiring..great work!!
The flowers reminded me of the truffula trees in The Lorax! I like that you guys went swimming in theArtic without any suits! It made me sad to hear that there haven't been any polar bears to walk through Tuk in 4 or 5 years... I can't wait until the next adventure! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Thanks again guys. You are sharing it for real and we love it. We love being part of your dreams and goals. We love watching you achieve them and thank you for showing the True North as it is. Great job in every way, experience, filming, editing and sharing the exceptional equipment you are working with. I don't know who would ever pass up an opportunity to work with you guys after this. Just exceptional. Congrats.
This brought back happy memories of our trip up the Dempster to Inuvik in 2002. We did the trip the end of June in a new Honda Accord and had no problems. We stayed in Eagle Plains both directions, and we spent two nights in Inuvik. Coming back, we had snow-- got to Eagle Plains just before the road was closed. We were able to leave early the next morning and had no problems. It was a wonderful trip. I'm glad you could make it. We'd love to go to Tuk now that there's a road, but we're in our 80s so probably won't do it.
With great interest my wife and I have watched up through #11. My Dad, drove D-8 caterpillars in WWII, building the Alcan Highway. He shared many stories and memories with me. On the 40th anniversary of the building of the hwy, my Dad and Mom drove it all the way from Minnesota to Anchorage,,,,what a trip.

I grew up in Inuvik, and this was an amazing piece that really showed off the countryside. Made me miss home, great job guys!
Thanks! That means something coming from a local :)
I know a lot of truck campers but always a Dodge 450-550 they are way more dependable and a lot more dependable. My best friend had to have a new motor sent to him and the exhaust brake was 3-4 times better they work outstanding and touched their brakes once or twice the whole trip and that was 7000 miles !
Highly anticipated and well worth waiting for. The best Dempster video yet. Thank you so much!
I know of these towns cause of foresty forest
You gotta love the travel vlogs
Can't believe that people actually drive motorcycles up there! More power to 'em! Great episode!!
You gotta be pretty hardcore to do it on a motorcycle.... there were people biking it too !
I'm doing it this summer on my dual sport and tent camping all the way up..One of the last real adventures you can do on a motorcycle..
By far this was my favorite episode of this journey. So many animals too see, education about the local people, two crazy people swimming in the Arctic ocean and beautiful sites. I bet you guys can't believe how amazing this trip has been. Thanks for sharing with us. Be safe.

Best Dempster video I have seen so far. Thanks.
When I see beautiful landscapes like this it makes wonder how we could possibly have any issues in this world. Beautiful trip and video. Well done!
Thanks l
Super awesome ride to Tuktoyaktuk. I rode up after I ran into you 2, filling your water in Dawson city. Good times in the North, safe travels
Well hello again! We're glad you enjoyed it too. Sure was great weather.

Absolutely amazing video as good as any video I have seen. Congratulations I see lots of opportunities in your future. Love watching your videos Thank you
GREAT video and THANKS for sharing your adventures!
Another fabulous episode, so enjoying following your journey!
One of the most beautiful videos i have ever seen about canada and that remote part
Thanks and hope to see more and more from that great art
"...called these lands home for thousands of years."
Not entirely true. The Inuit were a relatively recent arrival in the Arctic, displacing the peaceful Dorset peoples and stealing their land. They've only lived in the area for about one thousand years. To put it into perspective, the Vikings were in Greenland before the Inuit were.

Beautiful scenery guys - your trip is def on my bucket list. I'm sure it has been the trip of a lifetime . Thanks for sharing it with us.

Its different for sure but we really enjoyed the visit.
What a very enjoyable video. Thank you so much, very truly, I felt excited watching you share you exploration with us.
So glad you enjoyed it! :)

History made , job well done .
This was an incredible video and must’ve been quite an experience. I am completely amazed at your courage and diligence!! Bravo. Very impressive!!
this was a pleasure watching these 10 videos on your trip to the Arctic Ocean! Just mesmerizing!
I have watched this episode at least a dozen times. I will be going in a couple of years.
Wow! Glad you liked it!
@@MortonsontheMove I am planning a trip. Right now, Covid, and other crap...this video is what I need. 🙂
Appreciate you sharing time to focus on the people of Tuktoyaktuk. Thanks for the beautiful video
I love the beautiful original content that nobody else puts out, of course in the professionally produced manner we are accustomed to from MOM.
A real great video! I’ve been to Alaska but never made it to the Arctic ocean nor will I ever, most probably! I’m a senior.
Thank you. A real pleasure. You are so brave and young!!!
by far one of the best video's out there ... great job
Another great video, like no other on TH-cam!
Although our two nations have MUCH in common, I think that you have, on this journey of discovery, learned some of the many differences.

Thank you!
I was lucky to be involved in building the Dempster back in the mid 70s, our camp was at mile 36/58km to the Eagle river. Nice video. thanks
Very cool! Thanks for watching! :)
Awesome video. On my bucket list for years. Hopefully this spring. You touched on tires. That was something I was thinking of. I guess having 2 spares wouldn't be a bad idea. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video and lots of information. Thanks. Happy travels.
This was a super video and you all did a great job. I can't believe I didn't fast forward any of it.
Thank you!
It’s so amazing to see that midnight sun... I’ve seen it only once in my life and it made me cry because it was so incredible. The whole half an hour this video lasted, it wasn’t even dark once... so different to where I live in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 👌
Thanks for taking me to places I'll never get to.
Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing your great adventure. Look forward to more. Take care and enjoy everyday.
감사합니다 너무너무 좋아요 🥇♥️🤗🎀🌈😁🎵🎶🙏💟🎾♥️🏡😇🎁💙🥰😚🍇💒🛴
Well you two make it simple to comment....simply awesome. Creative camera work and thoughtful comments on what we are seeing. Thanks and safe travels.
Simply awesome trip that you allow us to enjoy. Many thks, it's just fantastic to enjoy vicariously. Great job.
Most enjoyable,thank you for sharing part of your adventure.
As Australian that does a lot of outback touring I found this video really well put together, informative and entertaining. Australia has some fantastic places to see but it would be great to go to the places shown in this video.
I commend you both for respecting in native culture, what I have found in our travels is, if we respect the cloture of the traditional owners they respect us for doing so.

Superb 👌 video ,beautiful education to travel. I m sailing around the world ⛵ 🌎 another adventure.
Greetings from beautiful Hawaii islands
Wow what a great experience and trip you guys have had. God Bless.
It’s cool to see this road without snow. I’ve watched Ice Road Truckers take this hwy and only could see snow.
That's a good point. I think I would prefer it in the summer :)
Another exciting video of the trip to the Great North. Loved your final quote, Caitlin: "The adventure doesn't end at the end of the road." Something we can all ponder, even if not in the Great North Country. Thanks for taking us all along, guys. Y'all Be Safe!
I did that trip last year in my 2016 Toyota prius. I purchased a roof rack and carried 2 spare tires, and a five gallon gas can, and a bunch of camping equipment and a 4 ton hand winch and air compressor. I also bought a set of snow tires, because the tread depth. The back seats lay down and two can sleep with a tailgate tent and leave the heat /a.c. on all night. You can do that in a hybrid. We had a blast, and traveled all over in northern Canada. Plus the drive up from Colorado was amazing. We averaged 52 mpg for the trip.
Gotta love hybrids for that AC! We had a hybrid Altima years ago and we loved that. Ev revolution here we come!!!
I have been waiting for weeks for this to come out I have been wanting to this trip for years. Amazing video thanks for sharing!!!
Excellent video of your travels all the way up to the Arctic Ocean! Great work and cinematography!
Good video editing. I enjoyed the footage from the far North.
Best video of the Dempster I’ve seen yet. Makes me wanna go back ... I’ve done it in my custom truck camper and also on my BMW GSA Moto ... lol I’m addicted
Thanks! That would be such a great way to go!
I'm doing this exact trip this summer! Im so glad i found your video!
I hope to do this journey my first summer retired; 15 yrs from now. I love watching your channel.

Thank you so much guys! Cant wait to see you :)
Like lots of the other comments,not sure why the algorithm put me here but a pleasant discovery. Respect is a big part of your presentation,besides the great,photography and audio your weave about the towns and people make your videos really fun to watch.
The next time I type in " motorcycle camping " I will realize how low I have aimed in my objectives and destinations. Keep inspiring..great work!!
:) thanks for your comment :)
What a cool adventure.
Thanks!
That was excellent.
The flowers reminded me of the truffula trees in The Lorax! I like that you guys went swimming in theArtic without any suits! It made me sad to hear that there haven't been any polar bears to walk through Tuk in 4 or 5 years... I can't wait until the next adventure! Thanks for sharing!
Thats exactly what we thought! DR Suess!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Thanks again guys. You are sharing it for real and we love it. We love being part of your dreams and goals. We love watching you achieve them and thank you for showing the True North as it is. Great job in every way, experience, filming, editing and sharing the exceptional equipment you are working with. I don't know who would ever pass up an opportunity to work with you guys after this. Just exceptional. Congrats.
Aww thanks guys, you are too kind :) We are very glad you are enjoying the series :)
Tuktoyuktuk is now on my bucket list.
This brought back happy memories of our trip up the Dempster to Inuvik in 2002. We did the trip the end of June in a new Honda Accord and had no problems. We stayed in Eagle Plains both directions, and we spent two nights in Inuvik. Coming back, we had snow-- got to Eagle Plains just before the road was closed. We were able to leave early the next morning and had no problems. It was a wonderful trip. I'm glad you could make it. We'd love to go to Tuk now that there's a road, but we're in our 80s so probably won't do it.
I'll have to add that to my bucket list.
With great interest my wife and I have watched up through #11. My Dad, drove D-8 caterpillars in WWII, building the Alcan Highway. He shared many stories and memories with me. On the 40th anniversary of the building of the hwy, my Dad and Mom drove it all the way from Minnesota to Anchorage,,,,what a trip.
Thanks for sharing about your Dad. That's awesome!
Fantastic!!!!
Incredible video! Thanks for taking us along!
Them skeets drive me crazy. I itch just seeing the nasty devils.
Lol, I do too!
Very very nice wanna do a trip there thanks for sharing
