Just so you know there's somebody that keeps coming back to this video. This video is so calming and relaxing for some reason. I made the same trip in the winter and summer when moving back and forth between Edmonton and Toronto, summer is beautiful but also winter is just amazing in Northern Ontario.
11:00 wow I remember watching this video before going on my trip cross country. I went on that very same look out a few months back luckily no snow. Also I remember being at old womans bay eating my beef jerky. It's crazy actually seeing this again after living it. To anyone thinking about doing it, I say 100%!!!
I’ve driven on this route many times during the summer/fall. Next week will be my first time in the winter. I’m already dreading those hills around batchawana bay lol
what beautiful land air and water and we don't for the most part appreciate it. my favorite book, Walden. visited walden cabin, it was a spiritual journey.
I really like how you quoted details of the trip along with precautions to be taken. Wanted to ask you about the places or hotels you stayed and the amount of time you were on road. You know the patches you drove from A to B. If you can guide a bit on that.
Hey I just did Montreal to Calgary this winter, was looking to see who else posted similar! Lots of Canadian road trippers but only a few of us in the winter!
white out conditions, couldnt see more than 10m in front of the car, high winds blowing snow around, snow getting deeper and deeper as i was driving through, with a 2wd car it was sketchy for sure.
Appreciate the comment, thanks! Soon i'll be posting videos of the underwater life here in BC. My camera is a Sony Rx100 mkII and car model is a Hyundai Elantra Touring. Thanks again.
@@subsurface3102 Ahaha, that's amazing. I've got a 2018 Hyundai Elantra I'll be taking on this trip in a few day. Going to Calgary for a month then coming back down to Ontario.
subsurface I’ve done this trip a few times already it’s the first time I’m gonna do it in the winter...I’m really worried about that stretch between sault st Marie and Wawa 😂
I would certainly take a Toyota Yaris on a trip like this. Toyota engines are high quality, maybe not the best for weight & stuff like that. I think the classic sedan/hatchback/wagon is the perfect mix, not Yaris or Chevy Spark lite, but also not a big gas gulping truck which would cost 3 times more in gas. However I hear the new Ford Rangers ain't bad on fuel economy.
Yeah I totally agree, trucks are too big, Yaris's are too small. Sedan/Hatchback is all you need unless you work in construction. HECK I have a Hyundai Elantra & it can tow up to 2,500 pounds, like I can easily tow my seadoo or a trailer. NO need for a truck.
We stopped for lunch here on our way to Toronto from Vancouver. It's breathtaking in the summer. I've done Vancouver to Toronto and back about 5 times but never in the winter. Might do the trip again this winter. Planning to go late Dec or January. Did you have winter tires on? any recommendations? it gets pretty dicey when you get to the Coquihalla pass.
I am about to drive from Toronto to Victoria in late November. Am I crazy?? Any tips? I am used to winter driving in Toronto.. Will I be okay if I take it really slow?? Please help. Thank you for this video. I am going to study it!! lol
@@subsurface3102 Yah I was thinking about that ,thats the area We live but a bit more West .I got stuck many times on those hills in the truck running the mine to Thunder bay or even into Kenora ,can get pretty nasty.
Thanks so love

My parents are freaking out about me doing it. Got any survival tips?

what kind vehicle did you use? which modle? did you use snow tires ?
he said 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring with all season tires... but I definitely don't recommend doing the same!

That does sound like a great journey. Don't worry things are turning around! People are starting to care more i think!
Boy was i wrong about that
Superior is larger by surface area
but Baikal is larger by volume.

Good to know. Cheers
What month was this, thanks. I’ll be travelling Winnipeg to Brampton March 1 2022. Any inputs?

Sorry Arpit i don't really remember now where and when i stopped. I think the whole trip took about 6 days of driving roughly 7hrs/day

What did you go through those 10min ago?
white out conditions, couldnt see more than 10m in front of the car, high winds blowing snow around, snow getting deeper and deeper as i was driving through, with a 2wd car it was sketchy for sure.
Is it better to stay put and wait for the conditions to clear or keep going ?
@@ironcladruffian1490 that depends on your risk tolerance and how prepared, confident you are in your vehicle
Hi. Great video. Make more videos of road trips in Canada. What is your camera? And what is your car model?

Drive carefully. Take your time and make sure your tank is always full and have emergency equipment in the car!

@@muawiyahm5152 nah you'll be fine! just be prepared is all!
